Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Tang Huan reached out and grabbed Gates, Bill, why did you leave in such a panic?

I'm not panicking, I've always walked like this. Gates laughed dryly, tried to break free, and continued to slip away.

But how could Tang Huan, who is full of vicious tastes, let Gates get what he wanted, not to mention he still has kung fu in his hands.

Simeone immediately slapped the horse and kicked Gates viciously, You thief.

Charles, you misunderstood me. Gates shrugged very calmly,

Don't quibble, the bugs are exactly the same. Simeone looked contemptuous, Your programmers are so lazy, they didn't even want to check it, so they just copied it.

That's just a coincidence, your conclusion is arbitrary. After Gates blushed and defended, he looked at Tang Huan holding his hand and said, Tang, I'm still waiting for me at the Microsoft booth. Sit down and talk when you have time.

From these few words, Tang Huan could guess what Gates, who was the best at stealing lessons, did to make Simeone furious.

Looking at the scene in front of him where Gates backed away and Simeone was so imposing, he almost burst out laughing.

You know, in the original time and space, Gates and Simone were monarchs and ministers, and Gates was a well-known tyrant in Microsoft, because in the entire 1980s, there was no software that was not smashed by his opponents. Many veterans, including Ballmer and Simeone, were dismissed immediately, so it is common for them to be trained as grandsons.

Unexpectedly, it's turned upside down now, look at Gates's humiliation and humiliation. It was so joyful.

Okay. Then I won't delay you. Tang Huan patted Gates on the shoulder.

Gates is like amnesty. Run away and head straight to Microsoft's booth.

When he arrived at his home site, Gates immediately became faceless. After operating on the computer for a while, he picked up the public phone behind the booth and yelled into the microphone.

...

Today's Microsoft, even if it embraces the thigh of the blue giant, but ibm- is still far from dominating the rivers and lakes. In addition, the market position of the main products has not been as good as before, so Gates still has to work hard and painstakingly, and honestly play the role of the younger brother in front of Tang Huan, Jobs, and Don Estridge.

Looking at other companies making a lot of money in the field of office software,

Gates, who has always believed that personal computers are the lifeblood of personal computers, is impossible not to regret his stubbornness and slowness, and the spreadsheet software developed by Microsoft is a breakthrough to deal with this passive situation.

But ibm doesn't like Gates' ambition. You still have so many problems that need to be solved urgently, how can you be distracted to make other products.

What's more. Don Estridge has already laid out three aspects of spreadsheet software, word processing software, and database, and Microsoft has come up with one. To put it bluntly, it is fighting for favor, but to put it bluntly, it is jealousy and trouble.

What makes Big Blue even more intolerable is that the first platform supported by Microsoft's development is cp/m, not its own.

This is too ironic. It is clear that the whole world is clamoring and has no confidence in its own operating system. IBM- cannot enjoy the benefits of it to itself.

Therefore, Microsoft not only cannot get nanny support from Big Blue like that, but also suffers from the opponent's suppression, so as not to affect v, one of the troikas that has been selected.

Although he understood the twists and turns, there was nothing Gates could do. Who let Microsoft hold IBM's thigh? Big Blue would naturally teach any child he thought was disobedient.

This is the law that the strong are respected in the market place. Putting oppression on the bright side is euphemistically called a conspiracy. If the weak want to survive, they can only bow their heads and submit.

But the education Gates received since he was a child is competition, and so is his family atmosphere. The more IBM suppressed him, the more his fighting spirit rebounded.

Unlike the young Jobs who put most of his emotions on the surface, Gates has always been well versed in forbearance.

On the one hand, he promised that IBM would temporarily put it on hold and invest more resources in the project team, while continuing to advance secretly.

But for the current spreadsheet software market, there is a leader in the front, followed by v, etc., and the distribution pattern of high, middle and low grades has basically taken shape. If you want to join it, the starting point of the product must be higher. .

Gates and Tang Huan were close friends, and he witnessed with his own eyes that the other surpassed himself, surpassed Jobs, and best stepped on all the personal computer colleagues.

At first, the arrogant Gates was naturally unconvinced. In terms of intelligence alone, no one is worse than the other. It is nothing more than your luck is overwhelming, you can catch up with opportunities and meet noble people.

But since he was trained by IBM in software engineering, Gates, who was tortured to lose a layer of skin, obviously felt that Microsoft had made a reborn improvement, and then suddenly realized how big the gap between Microsoft and Zheru was. Well, the chaotic Apple company didn't collapse, and went public, that's called good luck.

After understanding this point, Gates' attention to philosophy and Confucianism has become more comprehensive and in-depth. In other words, in addition to stealing technology, he also has to steal management.

Although Gates did not sort out Tang Huan's theory of personal computer entrance, he is sure that Zheru developed software for ibm- just to compete for users, and the income on the ibm- platform is still not good enough for Zhe Ru In Ru's eyes, it is impossible for Zheru to sincerely develop the most powerful software for IBM-, after all, Fangyuan Computer and Apple Computer are their children.

Similar to the ibm-platform, Zheru also has a strategy of retaining strength on the cp/m platform.

It is with this inference that Gates is confident in the launch. The only real competitors he has to face are ordinary people such as v and so on.

But having a high spirit doesn't mean having a great ability. Especially now the situation of the entire PC industry. It can only be described as time is money. The progress of the project is the key, and v. has been in the market for more than a year. If you want to ride on their necks with a blockbuster, Microsoft only relies on its own single Fighting alone, some have enough energy to spare.

So Gates naturally increased his efforts to steal lessons from Zheru, and even tentatively asked Tang Huan. Can you go to Microsoft for a technical exchange, everyone still misses your demeanor.

How could Tang Huan have the time to accompany him, but he wanted Microsoft to disrupt the ibm-troika built by Don Estridge, so he asked Simone to take time to go to Microsoft to be a technical idol, and specifically asked the other party, why not Be generous, anyway, the technology on the ibm-platform is not the core secret of philosophy.

Simeone, who understood that Tang Huan's drunkard's intention was not to drink, was extra careful, and brought an immature version to Microsoft to teach him the development experience of spreadsheet software. Almost all questions answered.

Therefore, Microsoft's hospitality specifications and hospitality for Simeone can be imagined. As a result, Simeone got a little drunk, and even accidentally dropped his briefcase on the ground. After packing up the scattered things, he found that a floppy disk was missing.

Gates patted his chest and said, Charles, you go to rest first, and I'll help you find it.

After Simeone sobered up, Gates found the floppy disk and delivered it himself. But it's no longer readable from the computer's disk drive - it's obviously broken.

Simeone didn't think much about it, and after he came back and noted it in the memo, he put the matter behind him.

In addition, after many days, he almost couldn't remember it.

But when wandering around the exhibition hall just now, Simeone found that Microsoft's has officially unveiled, and he was quite happy in his heart. Now the troika of ibm- is about to mess up.

Simeone stopped to observe it deliberately, and even stepped forward to operate it himself to experience it.

But the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong, some of the characteristics of her were so familiar, it was almost copied from -.

When Simeone used a few typical bugs in his memory to test on the Internet, he immediately became furious.

As far as this IQ is concerned, he doesn't even know how to learn from it, and even moves the flaws intact.

And it was these mentally handicapped guys who tampered with that floppy disk and designed themselves with intrigue.

The frustrated Simeone blocked Gates and questioned him sternly.

Of course Gates didn't know what to ask, and shook his head again and again to pretend to be confused.

Simeone sneered and said those bugs to prove it, but Gates continued to deny it, and found an excuse to slip away.

People like Simeone who immigrated from Hungary to the United States have been able to get to where they are today. The persistence in their character has played a role that cannot be ignored, and the same is true for Intel President Grove.

Seeing that Gates left without giving a clear statement, Simeone naturally lost his temper and chased after him.

After hearing what happened before and after, Tang Huan couldn't help but patted Simeone on the shoulder again, Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. Microsoft is being pushed into a hurry. After all, time waits for no one.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan winked, Isn't this disruptor who is eager for success just what we want?

But they didn't learn from it, it was simply plagiarism, and they copied mistakes. Simeone looked bitter and bitter, But I was fooled by these idiots and let them tamper with that floppy disk.

You don't need to pay too much attention to it. You can only say that they are too insidious and you are too simple. Tang Huan talked about it, and finally let the depressed Simeone put aside the entanglement in front of him for a while and continue to work.

...

Old Wang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I encountered a situation just now. Tang Huan walked back and said apologetically.

It's okay. Wang An nodded with a smile.

Tang Huan was still as humble and courteous as he was when he was not prosperous the year before last, which basically made Wang An's grudge disappear.

My word processor is being chased and intercepted by Fangyuan Computer in the Asian market, and the situation is becoming increasingly difficult. No matter who I replace it with, I will feel unhappy.

However, what he saw and heard at the scene this time made Wang An suddenly discover that the development of personal computers was like a sudden spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed, and even his old rival IBM put down his figure and went into battle shirtless. , maybe he rejected Tang Huan at the beginning. Really a missed opportunity.

Tang Huan followed Wang An to the back of Wang An Computer Company's booth, where he and the guests sat down and chatted.

Word processors have single functions, and the gap between them and the fast-growing personal computers is getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, everyone relies on their real skills to eat, and the competition in the market is nothing. Wang An waved his hand openly, which was regarded as a gift to both parties. The company's relationship was defined, Perhaps as you said at the beginning, the era of personal computers has come.

So, Wang An Computer Company is interested in the field of personal computers? Big companies are struggling to survive so far, and their struggle experience is really invaluable.

Wang An nodded, This general trend is already very obvious, and Wang An Computer Company can only choose to go with the flow.

Then we both have a basis for cooperation. Tang Huan looked at Wang An sincerely, The second-generation Fangyuan Computer is preparing to authorize compatible computers. If Wang An Computer is interested, we can cooperate in depth.

Wang An smiled noncommittally, Wang An Computer Company has been operating since the 1950s. The most successful products are the calculators in the 1960s and the word processors in the 1970s. Now it seems reasonable to enter the personal computer in the 1980s. After all, each product has its own life cycle.

The historical background of Wang An Computer Company is really admirable. Tang Huan praised enviously.

After so many years of ups and downs in the business world, I firmly believe in one truth. Wang An looked into the distance, as if recalling something, and then continued slowly: That is, the technology of the product must be in your own hands .”

Hearing what Wang An said so firmly, Tang Huan couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. What the other party meant was that even if he entered the personal computer market, he would rely on his own strength and had no interest in cooperation. (to be continued...)
