reborn in the fiery age

As soon as the leader said this, the others did not speak, and their hearts were very heavy.

Two days later, the leader in charge called him over, "Since this company is registered in Hong Kong Island, it has always been operating in accordance with the rules of Hong Kong Island, so it can do whatever it wants, and you can't treat it differently just because of your comrades. , which is not conducive to work.

Your concerns are also understandable. From my point of view, an employee stock ownership association will be established with all the shares owned by comrades outside, and Huatou will send people to manage it.

This time, the ESOP will sell a part of the shares. After discussing the specific amount, you will report it to the central government. At that time, one-fifth of the money you get will be kept overseas to improve their lives.The cost of living abroad is high, and they have contributed so much, so they have reason to live better.

The other four-fifths must be remitted to the country. After the country converts it into RMB, it will be paid to comrades or units in the country with corresponding benefits. How to distribute it specifically, you come up with a plan, and we will discuss it. "

Sun Zujie thought about it, this is a good way, wouldn't future generations do the same?

In addition, in this way, in the future, the Tianyi Group's domestic projects, it is estimated that the various institutions will rush to do it.

After his report was completed, he immediately returned to Hong Kong Island to start the listing process.Whether it is Meidi Investment Bank or Fenghui, they are all very satisfied with Tianyi Computer being so well-behaved and willing to take out so many shares on preferential terms.

Sun Zujie handed over the specific work related to the listing to Ms. Zhao of Tianyi Computer, and he called another meeting of business backbones for the future development of Tianyi Computer.

What he is most concerned about is when will IBM, the leader in the US computer industry, enter the personal computer market?How are they doing so far?

Because he was very concerned about this matter, Tianyi did a better job of collecting information related to it.According to well-informed sources, at the end of last year, IBM had secretly set up a project to start research on personal computers.

But IBM is also in trouble. They have just completed a settlement with the US Department of Justice on the antitrust investigation, so they internally feel that it is not appropriate to rush into the personal computer market now.

In addition, from a technical point of view, the current 8-bit chip computer is too backward in function, and it is better to wait for the 16-bit chip to be released, so the real start of their project should be after the Intel 8086 chip data is obtained this year.

There have been rumors within Intel that IBM plans to buy 20% of their shares, and the two sides are negotiating for this, so Tianyi executives are very nervous after hearing the news.

The reason is simple, if one day IBM cooperates with Intel to resort to tricks to limit the supply of chips in order to defeat Tianyi, Tianyi will immediately have problems.

After hearing this result, Sun Zujie couldn't help frowning, it seemed that the trouble was really getting closer.

Chapter 132 Crisis, Timing

Sun Zujie nodded. He had already been mentally prepared for this point. The top management of Tianyi was not blinded by the success in front of him, and he was very satisfied with being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Sun Zujie suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Damen still working on his Basic language? Have they ever contacted IBM?"

The subordinates all felt a little strange that Mr. Da Damen's software company is not large at present, not even half the size of Tianyi Software.

To say that in 1978, the most gratifying thing for Tianyi Company was that the US Patent Office approved the patent copyright application for excel76, and the software patent was officially recognized.

The U.S. Patent Office has no choice but to do this. If the U.S. Emperor does not recognize the patent of excel76, then he has no way to agree to other software patent applications, otherwise Tianyi will definitely sue the Patent Office.

In addition, there are more and more kinds of software in the electronic industry. If the patent copyright is not recognized, the whole market will be in chaos. Therefore, after the urging of IBM and other big companies, a large number of software such as Excel76 were granted patents at the same time. .

After obtaining the patent, Tianyi immediately reached an agreement with the parent company of the CP/M operating system and obtained the relevant patents of the CP/M operating system, so that the DOS1.0 operating system can be publicly listed.

DOS1.0 was launched after a long period of testing, so it was used very successfully in the TY001 series of computers. Even in order to meet the needs of other computer companies based on Z80 and 8080 chips, the Tianyi Computer Software Department also helped other computer companies to modify DOS1.0 to meet their needs.

Therefore, for Sun Zujie's plan to make the software department independent, Tianyi Computer is very supportive inside. The software department can obviously do more things now, of course, the premise is to ensure the priority of Tianyi Computer.

But Sun Zujie didn't think so, so when he asked about Mr. Damen's situation, his subordinates couldn't answer for a moment.

Sun Zujie was very angry, "I told you a long time ago that you have to keep an eye on Mr. Damen and know his every move. Have you all left it behind?"

Sun Zujie got angry and asked another question, "Apart from our Tianyi, is there any operating system based on Intel's 8086 chip in the market?"

Because it is related to the DOS system of Tianyi Software, Sun Zujie got the answer this time. Tianyi is relatively close to Intel, so it has already obtained relevant data when Intel Corporation tapes out, so Tianyi is currently the only company that has almost figured out this. The 16-bit chip operating system company, other companies are not as important as Tianyi, so it is impossible to respond faster than Tianyi.

After listening to these, Sun Zujie had already got a general idea. He invited Miss Zhao, who was very busy, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, you have worked hard recently."

Ms. Zhao is very excited. She has created two listed companies successively in her hands. At present, her shares and annual income are worth millions of Hong Kong dollars a year, and this time Tianyi Computer is listed, she will immediately earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Rich man, so no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

So Ms. Zhao said proudly, "Sun Sheng, how can I be worthy of your cultivation if I don't work hard."

Sun Zujie laughed and said with satisfaction, "This is what you deserve."

After finishing speaking, Sun Zujie started the topic, "Mr. Zhao, besides the listing of Tianyi Computer, you have one more important thing to do, which is related to the rise and fall of Tianyi Computer."

Ms. Zhao was shocked when she heard that, Tianyi Company is booming now, don't do it too well, how come there is such an important thing, how come she doesn't know.

Sun Zujie said with a sullen face, "Since IBM is going to buy shares in Intel, it is only a matter of time before they enter the personal computer field. Our good days are not long, so I am anxious to let Tianyi Computer go public. IBM's challenge, but this is both a crisis and an opportunity."

Sun Zujie continued, "IBM is the giant of the US emperor. As long as it enters the market, we will definitely bear a lot of pressure, and we are not even rivals at all. After all, we are just a Huaguo company on Hong Kong Island. Even if we win by chance, IBM can also move to the U.S. imperial government to make things worse, and the trouble will be even greater then.”

Hearing what Sun Zujie said, Ms. Zhao was also a little helpless. Of course she understood that what Sun Zujie said was reasonable, but she couldn't just admit defeat like this. She didn't expect that Sun Zujie really planned to do so.

Sun Zujie continued, "Since IBM has purchased Intel's chips, their new computers in the future must also be based on 8086 chips, so I hope you can take the time to talk to IBM as soon as possible. The completed DOS2.0 operating system."

Ms. Zhao was taken aback after hearing this, "Sun Sheng, are you planning to form an alliance with IBM?"

Sun Zujie shook his head, "Mr. Zhao, you don't understand technology. In fact, the value of Tianyi Computer is not as high as imagined. The real value of Tianyi Computer is the Tianyi software that will be independent, but the current market can see through this point. People are so small that even IBM doesn't know much about it.

To fight against giants like IBM, you must use your cleverness to fight hand-to-hand, so that their strength cannot be exerted.As long as IBM agrees to our terms this time, we will be invincible. "

After hearing this, Ms. Zhao was taken aback. She didn't expect that in Sun Zujie's mind, Tianyi Computer was positioned in such a way, which is too unbelievable.

She was a little ignorant, even a little confused, so she asked tentatively, "Sun Sheng, I don't quite understand what you said, should we have a meeting to discuss it?"

Sun Zujie waved his hand, "Mr. Zhao, you don't need to be very clear, you just need to implement it. There is no need for a meeting. My decision is the final decision."

Of course, Ms. Zhao understood Sun Zujie's position in Tianyi Computer, so she had no choice but to agree. After the job was arranged, she immediately rushed to the United States with the negotiating team.

After receiving the visit from the CEO of Tianyi Company, IBM felt very strange. As their biggest competitor in the field of personal computers in the future, what did Tianyi come to do?

The IBM executives at the reception quickly got the answer. Tianyi Computer actually thought of forming an alliance with IBM in a whimsical way?They deserve it too?

This group of lucky Chinese people somehow heard that IBM was about to enter the field of personal computers, and they were so frightened that they were scared before fighting. Therefore, IBM's top management laughed half to death, and of course they despised Tianyi Computer even more.

At this time, IBM's research in the field of personal computers has just begun. They found that with the manpower they are currently deploying, it will take at least three years to make a computer from scratch. That is too long, and there is no way to surpass competitors in one fell swoop , so the IBM Personal Computer Division believes that open architecture and standards must be adopted.

For the core CPU, they have already bought 20% of Intel's shares. After all, only one of them has the most advanced 16-bit chips at present, and there is almost no choice.

But they haven't made up their minds about the operating system yet, whether to build it themselves or find a company, but subconsciously they haven't thought about Tianyi software at all, after all Tianyi company is their main competitor.

Since Tianyi Software now has a ready-made operating system, it can be used after modification. This is a good choice and can save a lot of time.It's just that the opponent is so cowardly, of course the lion has to speak up.

So a condition that drove Ms. Zhao mad with anger came out, "IBM can accept Tianyi's support, and can also accept the operating system of Tianyi software, the condition is that the Tianyi computer must meet the compatibility standards that IBM will formulate soon."

Ms. Zhao really wanted to point at the IBM negotiator across the way and yell at her. My mother’s computers accounted for [-]% of the market share, and I dare not say that I am a recognized standard in the market. Now I want to listen to you and pay you patent fees. , go dreaming.

It's just that when she called Sun Zujie angrily to tell Sun Zujie this condition, Sun Zujie laughed happily, and then he immediately instructed, "Send additional technicians to negotiate PC compatibility standards with IBM.

IBM can eat big fish and big meat, but they have to give us a bowl of soup. As long as they agree, Tianyi will only follow IBM's lead in the future.

Tell IBM that if they don't accept the conditions, Tianyi's second-generation computer based on Intel chips will disclose its relevant standards, and I'd like to see how their new computer sells? "

After listening, Ms. Zhao asked very curiously, "Sun Sheng, isn't this very good, why don't you do this?"
