Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Tang Huan raised his brows and said playfully, Time magazine is really unconventional. A personal computer is just a cold machine, and you guys are linking it with Person of the Year.

This choice doesn't violate our original intention of selecting the man of the year, does it? Michael Moritz smiled slightly. You know, 1982 was a year of turmoil in the personal computer industry. Believe it, you know it best. Thanks to the efforts of you Silicon Valley elites, the entire United States now has a clearer understanding of personal computers. And this influence is enough to be named Person of the Year.

You convinced me. Tang Huan nodded in agreement.

What Michael Moritz said is not an exaggeration at all. After years of accumulation, the entire personal computer industry began to shine in 1982.

Apple, which was the first to taste this sweetness, sold 279,000 units throughout the year, and the annual sales volume of the latecomer IBM- reached 200,000 units, showing the strong heritage of Big Blue.

Low-cost personal computers worth a few hundred dollars, such as Commodore and Tangdy, rely on their price advantage, and their shipments are also very impressive, with hundreds of thousands of units.

As for Fangyuan PCs and their compatible machines, with an annual sales volume of 840,000 units that almost suffocates investors, it ranks first in the industry, outshine the others, and preliminarily established the market advantage of Fangyuan PC standards.

[

The major Japanese manufacturers that have been authorized by Fangyuan PC compatible machines are currently mainly busy grabbing the share of the Japanese domestic market. With the maturity and optimization of production, marketing, service and other links, they are bound to aggressively attack the North American market.

By the time. Fangyuan's position as the PC standard will be stronger.

Maybe the sharpness of Fangyuan Computer is too scary. Some time ago, the ibm v. Compaq infringement case was raging. It took a sharp turn and ended in a settlement.

Compaq paid a protection fee of US$1 million to Big Blue, which was regarded as a justifiable identity recognition for its portable personal computer products.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the sudden magnanimity shown by Big Blue is because of fear of Fangyuan Computer's strong rise, so it changed its mind and accepted Compaq, the younger brother of the ibm-standard camp.

To know. Fangyuan Computer Company is not only engaged in the business of Fangyuan personal computer, but also the office equipment department that deals in printers, fax machines, card readers, etc., the system service department that Fangyuan personal workstations, Fangyuan network servers, etc. The supercomputer department of the powerful computer throne, each with amazing profitability,

Together, they helped Fangyuan Computer Company to cross the threshold of 5 billion US dollars in annual operating income, stepping on HP, the big brother in Silicon Valley.

Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. eats a lot of food, and the price is that IBM, which almost monopolizes the computer market, is robbed of some delicious food.

It can be said that it took less than four years for Fangyuan Computer Company to rapidly grow into a competitor that even Big Blue had to face up to.

Compared with this overall situation. Compaq Computer moved the ibm-cheese behavior first, and ibm can properly forgive it.

maybe. This little brother can really help the ibm-standard camp to expand its territory and attract the attention of Fangyuan Computer Company in the low-end market of personal computers, so that Big Blue can have time to think about how to counter the aggressive offensive of Fangyuan Computer Company in the traditional high-end field .

Undoubtedly, the insight of Time magazine is very keen. The editors have noticed that against the background of the economic downturn, the rapidly growing personal computer industry has brought positive changes to the entire United States. Without hesitation, he gave the crown of Person of the Year to the personal computer.

Now that I think about it, last year we selected you as Person of the Year, how well-deserved it is. Michael Moritz took out a photo while talking, This is a photo we took for the personal computer. portrait.

Tang Huan took a closer look, and saw in the photo a model in the style of a Fangyuan personal computer, and a model in the style of a half-opened Fangyuan laptop standing beside it.

Why bother making models, it's much easier to get a ready-made brand new computer directly from me. Tang Huan said with a chuckle.

We still need to pursue a certain degree of artistry. Besides, if you directly use your Fangyuan computer, it will be doing free advertising for you. Michael Moritz shook his head again and again.

Tang Huan cut his teeth, pointed to the model of the Fangyuan laptop in the photo and said, This kind of Fangyuan laptop is the only one at present, and there is no semicolon. You put it in the photo, what is the difference from the advertisement.

That's something that can't be helped. Who makes your company's technology go ahead of others, and we think this product is cool enough. After Michael Moritz complimented, he changed the subject and talked about down to business.

In addition to selecting PC as Person of the Year, we also planned a series of interviews with entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, so I need your cooperation.

No problem. Tang Huan readily agreed, but when he saw Michael Moritz directly calling the photographer over to teach him the opportunity, he couldn't help touching his bald head, and said with a wry smile: There's no need to take pictures, right? I'll have someone find other suitable photos for you.

Of course I'm going to take a photo. Your image is trendy enough, and it will definitely catch readers' eyes. Michael Moritz pointed out Tang Huan's manner while laughing, and asked casually, This bald head, Is it to pay tribute to Fangyuan Computer Company, which is about to go public?

How can there be so many opinions about a hairstyle. Tang Huan didn't want to make a big fuss, so he carried it with one sentence.

...

Tang Huan's bald head was not only eye-catching, but also cool enough. When he rang the New Year's bell for the New York Stock Exchange, he was really abused by the weather in New York.

To Tang Huan, the bell-ringing ceremony was nothing to be excited about. It was just an icing on the cake during the countdown to the launch of Fangyuan Computer.

But at the juncture when this wealth myth is about to be born, Tang Huan is the focus of his duty. Although he treats it indifferently, he still attracts a large number of reporters.

Tang, are you using this hairstyle to express the excitement brought about by the launch of Fangyuan Computer? a reporter joked.

Not to mention, this bald head doesn't have any special meaning. Tang Huan, who was full of confidence in every gesture, replied loudly: To tell you the truth, I feel very calm. In my opinion, Fangyuan Computer's Listing is a matter of course, and its performance and prospects are worthy of the favor of investors. (To be continued...)
