Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Not to mention that Louis Gerstner was shocked, even Tang Huan now has a huge head, thinking that the semiconductor factory that he invested alone in order to avoid Intel patent disputes, unexpectedly appeared to help ibm- with hardware optimization white-eyed wolf , which is so ironic.

However, after Tang Huan thought about it, he was relieved.

No matter which industry has unlimited business opportunities, there will be a trend of technological copycats due to the disturbance of the current flow of interests. Gordon Campbell and his group just happened to be at the right time.

You know, there are a lot of capable people in Silicon Valley, even if Gordon Campbell and his gang don’t do it, it’s inevitable that other people will take this step under the same flash of inspiration in their minds,

It can be said that this copycat style is accidental at the micro level, but inevitable at the macro level.

It is widely recognized that there are only two companies doing the best in the personal computer industry—Fangyuan Computer and IBM.

Because the so-called technical threshold of the personal computer industry is low, it is compared with mature minicomputers and mainframes. In fact, not everyone can make such simple products well--produced by small workshops. Things certainly cannot compete with big factories in terms of commercial maturity.

For example, the compatibility and consistency between the previous generation of products and the current flagship product, as well as the next generation of products, as well as bus-based scalability and so on.

It is no easy task to get a design scheme that truly takes care of the overall situation and has a smooth transition.

Like Apple's Lisa computer. And, it is to separate from each other and fight on their own.

Another example is Commodore, which has killed the Quartet in the field of cheap personal computers. There is a difference between different models of each generation and the same generation. It is often incompatible at the system level.

Liu Gebrecht summed up the experience of various personal computers before, and absorbed the success of the computer, and then launched the ibm-.

Although it is not the best, its moderation just hits a just right balance point, coupled with the golden signboard of Big Blue, it is quickly recognized by the market.

It's just that the design and manufacturing ideas of Fangyuan's personal computer are more condescending and overall-oriented, so ibm- has to take the second place.

It is precisely because of this market disadvantage. Don Estridge, head of ibm-, took up the double-edged sword of publishing ibm-technical specifications.

In the beginning, players in the industry did follow Don Estridge's train of thought.

Use these technologies to launch function expansion cards on the ibm-platform.

But when Compaq Computer opened the door to IBM-compatible computers, everyone suddenly realized that we don't need to be so pure, and we can use this free technology licensing method to earn more.

Now. Gordon Campbell's group tried to replace IBM's own chip with the same function with a more streamlined chip design, which would undoubtedly completely defeat IBM- in terms of cost.

Of course, Tang Huan was happy to see the blue giant shooting himself in the foot, but once this wind of imitation blows up, it is bound to greatly increase the market share of the ibm-standard, which is what he does not want to see.

Undoubtedly, under comprehensive consideration, this tiger must be kept in a cage as much as possible. It will eventually come out, but for as long as it can.

In this way. I can more or less buy a buffer time, so that the intel80286 and multimedia models of Fangyuan personal computer can occupy a favorable position in the market as much as possible. Squeeze the living space of cheap ibm-compatible machines in advance.

All in all, if you can't beat your opponent, then try to reshuffle the cards, change the rules of the game, and depreciate the value of this integrated chip based on intel8088.

However, this is only a stopgap measure, once the Pandora's box of non-authorized compatible machines is opened. It is out of control, and the ibm- with intel80286. It will definitely be the target of the next copycat.

Tang Huan can only come up with a rough outline of the overall layout now, and the details still need to be perfected.

Don Estridge, I guess you are still in the dark. You don't know that ibm-is about to encounter the biggest trouble from within the camp. No matter how many ibm-compatible machines are sold, the money will not go into ibm's pocket Lie. You have misunderstood yourself and others, and I have to wipe your ass for you.

Tang Huan, who looked at the time, muttered, picked up the phone and called Louis Gerstner, asking him to keep Gordon Campbell and his group and the idea of ​​the integrated chip within the scope of Seeq as much as possible At the same time, inform John Chambers that the intel80286 model of Fangyuan Computer will be launched immediately, and don't wait until the opening this spring.

...

There are not a few people like Gordon Campbell who have the great opportunity of the times, and Xiangjiang's Wang Jing is also one of them.

The movie Hua_Xin Da Shao directed by him recently won over 9 million at the box office of DreamWorks theaters. The ability to absorb money really attracts the attention of investors.

In sharp contrast to this, although Xu Ke also achieved outstanding results in Legend of the Heroes of Shushan, with a box office approaching 20 million and even creating a new type of movie, but we also need to see how much he spent on special effects. It is not something that ordinary bosses can support.

However, Wang Jing's outstanding performance also made Shaw Brothers restless.

Gein, apart from Zhong Chuhong, Fu Sheng, Xie Xian, Chen Baixiang, and Liu Xuehua are all from Shaw Brothers in the cast of Flower_The Heart.

Comparing the films it has produced in the past two years, which often end up with two or three million at the Hong Kong local box office, the box office of Flower Heart at least illustrates the fact that this established film company has made a mistake in the mechanism of using artists. question.

Compared with the dismal management of the film business, Jin Yong's martial arts drama The Legend of the Condor Heroes produced by Wang Tianlin achieved unprecedented success after its premiere on TVB, breaking the ratings record set by the TV series Family Change in 1977.

All of a sudden, Wang Tianlin and Wang Jing's achievements in TV dramas and movies complement each other, and it has become a good story in the circle.

But Wang Jing didn't have time to enjoy such compliments. At this moment, he was busying himself in his Jing Dynasty office. Gein Tang Huan handed him a big production, so big that he didn't dare to take it lightly. (to be continued)
