Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Jobs made such a nervous fuss, and the atmosphere after that was completely destroyed, and finally everyone broke up unhappy.

Those who are familiar with Jobs' style didn't take this matter to heart at all, but the employees of Zerone were very angry, feeling that their hot faces were stuck on their cold asses.

Tang Huan doesn't care. His biggest worry now is Gates. This old man has successfully stolen a lesson from Jobs in the history of the graphical interface. Now he may not get inspiration from himself for spreadsheets. At that time, he looked calm and calm, maybe he had some calculations in his heart.

Okay, everyone work calmly. Apple doesn't dare to do anything to us. They need our products to cheer. In addition, I officially announce that from now on, the products of other platform versions of CGrid will be named CGridFORCP/M. Next I'll turn my attention to that and surprise the guys who are jealous of us.

After comforting and encouraging his subordinates, Tang Huan picked up his camera and took Deng Lijun out for a drive. There are many interesting places in San Francisco, and he needs to change his mind after working hard.

Why don't you seem worried at all? Having arguing so fiercely with them won't affect your business? Deng Lijun asked worriedly.

Don't worry, these foreign devils will calculate their interests. They won't turn their backs in a short time, and in another month, my company will look different.

I was terrified at the time, but you can calm these people down. Looking at Tang Huan's confident and handsome face, Deng Lijun kissed obsessively.

There had been no skin-to-skin contact between the two for a long time, and Tang Huan immediately became distracted when the beauty took the initiative to throw herself into her arms.

...

At this time, the atmosphere in Apple's office was a bit dull.

For disobedient partners, we must let him know what the price is. Jobs said slowly with a sullen face.

Markkula didn't answer, he brought back a copy of CGrid1.2, and was watching the demonstration seriously.

This software can meet the needs of business users to the greatest extent, and its functions are getting more and more perfect. It is destined to be a great success product, and we can't suppress it at all. Markkula commented from the perspective of an investor.

Then set up a rival for him and let Gates help us develop a similar software. Jobs smiled sinisterly.

I'm afraid this is not so easy. CGrid is very cleverly written. Many features are implemented through sophisticated program codes on the lowest-level hardware of the Apple computer, and with the help of the display enhancement card, more practical functions are provided, such as lowercase Alphabets, floating-point arithmetic, and a mode that switches the screen to display 80 letters per line... The tech-obsessed Woz stared at the demo computer, shaking his head.

After Apple's second-generation computer was a great success in the market, Woz's focus has always been how to improve and enhance the functions of this product. Since he established friendship with Tang Huan, the communication between them has made him understand how his works can be done. There are more inspirations that tend to be perfect to the greatest extent.

Scott, who had always been at odds with Jobs, had a trace of impatience on his face, CGrid and its supporting products can help us continue to expand the market. I don't understand, Jobs, why do you insist on targeting them.

Because they challenged our authority, what will other partners think once CGrid appears on competitors' computers? Jobs had a sarcastic expression on his face that you don't even understand.

Don't think that we can dominate the market just because the financing is relatively smooth, and Apple is not that powerful. Besides, CGrid is currently unique to Apple Computer, and Tang's idea of ​​​​opening up other markets is understandable. We can definitely pull him into our In the camp, everyone has common interests, so they will naturally stand on the same line to consider issues. Didn’t he say that he agrees to cross-shareholding.” Scott did not show any weakness in his words.

Dream it, his small company, which has only been established for more than a month, actually wants to get our stock, you idiot, what's going on in your head. Jobs growled.

Scott put his head closer to each other, Can your thoughts be normal?

Mike Scott, who dared to argue with the founder of the company, has a lot of background. He and Mike Markkula joined Fairchild Semiconductor on the same day in 1967. At that time, the two offices were adjacent to each other, which was even more coincidental. What's more, they not only have the same name, but also have the same birthday, so they still celebrate their birthdays together every year, which shows how the relationship between the two is.

Later, Scott became a production manager of National Semiconductor Corporation in the United States, managing a production line there, and he can be called an all-around talent who is very good at both management and technology.

After Markkula invested in Apple, he really had a headache to deal with all kinds of strange troubles caused by Jobs' perverse temper, so he thought of Scott, and planned to drag his friend into the water, oh no, hire a friend to be the company President, I hope this will put a curse on Jobs and restrain this geek.

As a result, Scott had a confrontation with Jobs as soon as he arrived at Apple. One person said that Jobs should take a shower frequently and pay attention to hygiene. The other said that Scott should change to eat fruits and vegetables to reduce weight, because Scott is fat and overweight. obvious. In the end, the two were tied. Jobs only improved to take a bath once a week, while Scott found it difficult to adopt a vegetarian diet to successfully lose weight.

The next nonsensical quarrel was because of the distribution of employee numbers. Scott gave Wozniak No. 1 and Jobs No. 2. Jobs was very dissatisfied with this situation and asked himself to be No. 1. , Scott refused to agree, so Jobs lost his temper. Later, Jobs proposed a solution. That is, he will be No. 0. In the end, Scott compromised on the employee number, but in fact, Bank of America's salary system requires that the employee number must be a positive integer, so Jobs is still No. 2.

Seeing that the two enemies began to blush again and their necks thickened, Markkula rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, This matter is temporarily put on hold, we don't want to change anything, after all, we have only cooperated with Tang for more than a month, and we can observe for a while before we can discuss it.

Therefore, under Markkula's decision, Apple and Tang Huan continued to maintain the previous cooperation method, but did not care about his printer solution.

Tang Huan got such a result when he saw the head, and after cursing a word of insanity, he asked the company's employees to start selling printer accessories by themselves. This will undoubtedly increase operating costs, but it is not unbearable.

At the same time, Tang Huan decided to put some pressure on Apple and speed up the development of CGridFORCP/M. Finally, at the end of May, the finished product of version 1.0 was produced. It went so smoothly that the engineers involved couldn't believe it. The aura of Tang Huan's chief software architect became more mysterious and admirable.

CP/M is an operating system designed and developed by Digital Research Corporation in 1974 for personal computers based on 8-bit CPUs such as Intel8080 and ZilogZ80. At the dawn of the microcomputer market, it became the most widely used operating system. But it is a pity that CP/M missed the opportunity when it was converted to a 16-bit CPU, and lost to Microsoft's MS-DOS in the 16-bit PC market centered on IBM PC/AT and IBM PC compatibles, thus disappearing from the market. Although CP/M also launched versions such as CP/M86 designed for Intel8086 and CP/M68k designed for Motorola68000, there are almost no users, and it was finally merged by Novell in 1991. This is another IT song. A tragic song in the history of development.

But at this time, CP/M is the preferred operating system for microcomputers using Intel and its compatible CPUs, and CGridFORCP/M has a broader market prospect. Tang Huan's second chance to find gold without competitors has come.
