rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 269 Selfless Learning

The Y2K problem was the top priority in computer and Internet-related industries in 1999.

This is why Ma Xiaoyun and others do not believe that Chen Li can solve this problem on his own!

After all, there are so many big companies and even the country that have not solved the problem. How can a young man like Chen Li solve it?

To use a phrase that became very popular later, it was probably.

This unscientific!

So even though Chen Li seemed sober at the time, everyone else thought Chen Li was drunk and talking drunkenly.

However, there is actually another theory, that is, Chen Li is a liar, and his lies are about to be blown to the sky by him.

It's just that Chen Li's previous behavior of paying for them made them embarrassed to reveal Chen Li's "true" face to their faces.

So it’s best to say that Chen Li was drunk~ This is also the most reasonable explanation.

Of course, there are also people who really think Chen Li is drunk, and they are the majority.

But no matter what they think, no one in this group, including Ma Xiaoyun, believes that what Chen Li said is true.

Especially on the next day, Ma Xiaoyun did not receive a call from Chen Li, which made everyone even more convinced.

Yesterday Chen Li was either drunk, or he was bragging and lying.

Even Ma Xiaoyun felt that he had completely misjudged this time. At first, he was really a young hero like Chen Li, but he didn't expect...!

Well~ Chen Li is destined to be just a passer-by in the life of this group of entrepreneurs full of ideals.

In fact, by the next day, many people simply forgot about Chen Li.

Because now, they have two choices before them!

Why don’t you stay at the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission!

Why don't you go back to Lin'an and start a business with Ma Xiaoyun!

Needless to say, the benefits of staying are that the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission is a serious ministry after all. Although the unit they work for is just a subsidiary company, it is considered to be the country's bread and butter, and it is definitely a job that many people dream of.

But if they return to Lin'an with Ma Xiaoyun, what awaits them is not only an unstable job, but also a very vague future.

how to choose?

In fact, if the choice is made literally, then it is estimated that 99.99% of people will choose the first one!

There seems to be no comparison at all! But there is a problem.

First of all, this group of people has been following Ma Xiaoyun.

They followed Ma Xiaoyun from Lin'an to Yanjing, but now Ma Xiaoyun has to return to Lin'an. This makes them very confused.

You know, the reason why these people can always follow Ma Xiaoyun is because they were influenced by him. They were influenced by Ma Xiaoyun.

Why are ten of the Eighteen Arhats that Ma Xiaoyun later started his business his students?

Even other people are his old employees or friends?

Because they have long accepted Ma Xiaoyun’s character, temper, and way of doing things.

In the eyes of others, Ma Xiaoyun is a liar, a pyramid schemer, and a big liar. But in their eyes, Ma Xiaoyun is a teacher, a business partner, and even a leader.

Because they believe that Ma Xiaoyun can lead them to victory.

It is precisely because of "belief" that everyone is confused.

After all, I chose to give up a stable job and run towards an unknown future. It was somewhat difficult to make this decision.

While these people were making difficult choices, Chen Li locked himself in the bedroom of the rental house.

To be precise, Chen Li locked himself in the system space.

"I'm so naive!"

"I'm so stupid~Really!"

"I'm really full!"

"I'm really out of my mind to redeem this broken patch."

"System~system! Can I return it?"

In the system space, Chen Li was sinking into endless complaints at this moment. In the end, Chen Li was even ready to give up and surrender.

"The product has been sold and cannot be returned or exchanged!"

A very pleasant female voice originally sounded in Chen Li's ears, but now when Chen Li heard this voice, his teeth itched with hatred.

Chen Li never expected that he would be plotted by the system.

In Chen Li's imagination, the so-called "Y2K Vulnerability Patch Ultimate Edition" should be an application, or a CD, a USB flash drive or a floppy disk.

But when he used his credit limit to redeem the "Y2K Vulnerability Patch Ultimate Edition", Chen Li felt bad.

Chen Li guessed half right! This "Y2K Vulnerability Patch Ultimate Edition" is indeed an application, but it is not just one thing as Chen Li imagined.

The entire "Y2K Vulnerability Patch Ultimate Edition" consists of a total of 47 different applications, which deal with various actual situations.

The most ridiculous thing is that each application even has its own different operation methods and applications.

At that time, Chen Li was completely stunned!

You must know that after he activated the programmer sub-profession, Chen Li only stayed in that learning space for less than ten minutes.

God knows why Chen Li felt his head hurt when he saw those numbers and codes!

Therefore, even if he activated the programmer sub-profession, Chen Li did not put his thoughts on it.

He would rather go to the study space next door to memorize German words and learn British slang. Even Chen Li has recently started learning French.

To be honest, Chen Li would rather study multiple language courses at the same time than learn computer programming.

No way, it’s just out of interest!

But now, even if Chen Li doesn't want to learn, he still has to be patient and learn the relevant application operations here.

The reason is simple. He owes the system a full 1 million!

Every day when Chen Li opens his eyes, he owes the system two hundred and fifty yuan in interest.

And this is mall currency, which means that Chen Li's daily business must reach a certain level in order to create so much mall currency for him.

And this is just interest, the principal of the one million credit limit is still there.

If the credit limit of one million is spread evenly over a total of 1,095 days over three years, an average of 914 yuan will be earned every day.

Including the interest of 250 yuan, the average daily income is 1164 yuan!

This standard is very difficult for current Chen Li to achieve!

Therefore, the best way is to use this "Y2K Bug Patch Ultimate Edition" to make a lot of profits, and then use those profits to expand the scale of the ideal fried chicken restaurant and speed up the earning of mall currency.

Only in this way can we achieve truly healthy development.

But if Chen Li unilaterally abandons the "Y2K Bug Patch Ultimate Edition" and allows the one million credit limit to be wasted, it is actually not impossible.

According to Chen Li's original plan, and with the addition of Zhou Xiaoli and Su Mei, the ideal fried chicken restaurant will definitely develop very quickly.

Chen Li is confident that he can develop his business to a certain scale within three years, and it is not impossible to repay this credit line in the future.

But in this case, the error tolerance rate will be very low.

Once the development of Ideal Fried Chicken is limited, or encounters factors beyond human control, or even the emergence of strong competitors and other unexpected circumstances.

Then Chen Li may lose the system space that he has become accustomed to.

On the one hand, you force yourself to learn content that you are not interested in!

On the other side is the threat of losing the system and losing a million credits in vain.

Comparing the two, Chen Li finally chose to force himself to study.

So since last night, Chen Li has been staying in the system space to study. Except for eating, sleeping, drinking water and going to the toilet, Chen Li has almost always been in the system space.

At the same time, in order to focus more on learning related professional skills, Chen Li did not even dare to imitate the image of a beautiful teacher.

Otherwise, he could be distracted at any time, which would be really bad for Chen Li's learning efficiency.

In fact, at the beginning, Chen Li thought that this patch would be as simple as the fool-proof operation later.

It only takes a few clicks for the application to patch your computer.

But in fact, for different customer groups, the application needs to perform different operations.

For example, those old-fashioned motherboards that do not support four-digit numbers must change the motherboard program to re-recognize the process of crossing from 99 to 00.

Later, the date and time displayed on computers was basically XX, month, XX, 20XX, but early computers showed XX, month, XX, XX.

The biggest drawback of the so-called millennium bug is here, because in order to save costs and storage space, old computers used two-digit decimal date and time operations.

So once the year 1999 is over, it stands to reason that computer time will enter January 1, 2000.

However, because it uses a two-digit decimal system, the displayed result is not the year 2000, but the year 1900.

This patch requires changing the program of the computer motherboard to improve the calculation method of time and date.

However, because the industries where computers are used are different, the content and methods used to handle the work are also different.

Therefore, there is no fool-like operation.

Of course, the operation of the system is not difficult, it just requires different processing operations for different computers.

The method is still very simple, even close to one-click fool-like operation, but there are a lot of types.

Chen Li is currently mainly studying related theories about the operation of the millennium bug and how to solve the millennium bug.

After all, if he wants to take this thing out, he must explain the relevant theories of this thing to others.

Otherwise, when others ask about it, Chen Li will not understand anything, so he will talk nonsense.

Therefore, Chen Li must figure out all this before he can take this thing out.

As a result, Chen Li spent most of the whole day studying in the study space and completely forgot about what he said yesterday about calling Ma Xiaoyun.

Of course, even if he remembered it, Chen Li had no intention of calling Ma Xiaoyun until he understood this knowledge.

What if the phone call comes and Ma Xiaoyun comes running over humming, but Chen Li can't understand what he said? Then it's all in vain!

At this moment, Chen Li once again suspected that his system might be a defective product.

After all, in his previous life, he had seen in novels on the Internet that the system taught others knowledge and so on. He could just "swish" it.

But when Chen Li arrived, he was in tears! Chen Li felt that he had never worked so hard before the college entrance examination!

There's no other way~ A credit limit of one million!

This incident also warned Chen Li that he must be cautious about industries and things that he is not good at or does not understand!

Otherwise, Chen Li would be caught off guard like this time.

For three days in a row, Chen Li stayed in the study space. During this period, he only went to Deng Weimin's place for dinner once, and then occasionally chatted on the phone with Liu Qingqing in the evening. The rest of the time, he spent almost all of his time in the study space.

inside.

In the end, Chen Li was provoked by Zhou Xiaoli's phone call.

Because on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the supplier was supposed to deliver and install kitchen utensils to the new branch of Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant, but Chen Li was nowhere to be seen.

"Chen Li~Are you ready to take the money and run away?"

Zhou Xiaoli's voice on the phone sounded a bit teasing, but Chen Li still had to apologize to the other party.

"Uh~ I'm sorry! I've been a little busy lately, and I almost forgot about my business."

This matter is indeed Chen Li's problem. He has been in the study space every day these days, and he has almost forgotten himself about studying. He has never thought about opening a branch.

Huang Biao always thought that his brother Li did things according to rules, so he didn't even know to remind Chen Li.

As the new shareholders, Zhou Xiaoli and Su Mei thought that kitchenware would be installed in the new branch today, so they planned to go and visit it.

As a result, the two of them ran over and found that the new branch didn't even open the door.

"Okay, come here quickly! The salesperson from the kitchenware manufacturer came over just now. Su Mei and I don't know the details. They thought you had regretted it!"

"How can it be?"

"Oh~ I know! My phone is out of battery and I forgot to change the battery."

"Ask the salesman to wait for me, and I'll be right over."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li took out his cell phone that had automatically turned off from his pocket and shook his head.

The battery capacity of mobile phones these days is not as large as that of later mobile phones. Even if no operations are performed, the standby time of the mobile phone can rarely exceed three days.

As a result, Chen Li's cell phone was out of battery, and the supplier he had originally arranged for couldn't find Chen Li. People thought it was because Ideal Fried Chicken had gone back on their word and wanted no more of their kitchen utensils!

Calls to Chen Li's cell phone were never able to get through. Fortunately, Su Mei knew the landline number at the rental house, so she was able to contact Chen Li.

"Huang Biao~ Change the battery of your mobile phone for me."

Chen Li handed the phone to Huang Biao, went back to his room and changed his clothes, then took the phone with the battery that had just been replaced from Huang Biao's hand and went out directly.

It was also at this time that Chen Li suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to call Ma Xiaoyun. So...

"Brother Ma~ Oops! I've been so busy these days that I forgot to call you."

"That Y2K problem. What?"

"You have left Yanjing? Returned to Lin'an?"

"I"

Chen Li, who had just walked out of the unit building, suddenly stopped in front of the unit building. His face was speechless!
