Although Intel unexpectedly once again became a small pawn in charge of IBM, Tang Huan was not caught off guard. The main purpose of this trip was achieved, that is, to further consolidate trust with Andy Grove and establish a strong relationship. A tacit understanding that is not enough for outsiders.
In the Intel parking lot, Tang Huan happened to meet Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore taking Arthur Rock off, which made him repeat the name of Arthur Rock, the king of venture capital, several times in the car.
Back then, Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore took the business plan and ran to Arthur Lokla to start Intel's investment. It took only 5 minutes to negotiate a deal of 2.5 million US dollars.
Later, the matter was played up by the media as a myth, how Arthur Rock knew the pearl, how Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore gave advice.
But the actual situation is that the two sides have long been acquaintances, and Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore's status in the Silicon Valley semiconductor industry is at its peak, which is worth the price.
When Jerry Sanders invested in the founding of amd, although he was also from Fairchild Semiconductor, his prestige was not enough, so it was a bit difficult.
Arthur Rock later invested in Apple, and he had an intersection with Tang Huan.
To a certain extent, the so-called venture capital is a systematic bet, as long as one or two out of ten companies are listed, they can make a lot of money.
Tang Huan, who has the advantage of information asymmetry, is also engaged in venture capital on the surface, but he is still fundamentally different from Arthur Rock and Don Valentine.
Even though the latter has the title of a venture capitalist, he is still very careful when it comes to actually spending money. And then add various harsh conditions.
But Tang Huan was different. If a conventional venture capitalist can reach 2 out of 10, it is enough to be called Bole, but he can reach 8 out of 10. The shot was steady and ruthless, and it really stole the business of many people. For example, the investment in sun.
Those in the venture capital industry are all top-notch people, and they gradually became aware of this kind of competition. The most obvious example is that some promising entrepreneurial projects could have taken the opportunity to choke their necks, but the other party turned around and got it. Tang Huan, an angel investor, gave him the generous help.
But who made Tang Huan the richest and most generous? Others have nothing to say.
But as Tang Huan gradually cultivated Apple as a younger brother who reduced the risk of anti-monopoly prosecution,
Arthur Rock couldn't sit still. He expresses his position from time to time, believing that the development of Apple has artificially set a ceiling.
Tang Huan took advantage of the aura of the father of spreadsheets to become a shareholder of Apple, and won the title of billionaire as quickly as possible, and then left Apple to develop his own personal computer business. extreme.
The three founders Markkula, Jobs, and Woz could benefit from Zheru, so they were too soft-spoken to say anything, but other shareholders who have thought about it may not be free from resentment.
Arthur Rock actually jumped out. Using one's own influence to help IBM lobby Intel is likely to be a reaction to various conflicts of interest.
It seems. It is increasingly imperative to secretly help Andy Grove build his own power group within Intel.
...
After returning to Cupertino, Jerry Sanders, who got the news, rushed over immediately.
Seeing this guy's cheerful expression, Tang Huan couldn't help being a little speechless.
I didn't expect Intel to be so stupid, not honestly abide by the duty of the supplier, and even enter the muddy water of the competition between Fangyuan Computer and IBM. It seems that AMD's opportunity has come. Jerry Sanders said happily.
I didn't invite you here to listen to your analysis of the general situation. Tang Huan waved his hands angrily. The opportunity for amd's cpu to replace intel80286 is indeed in sight, but the question is. When will your am286 be mass-produced?
The first quarter of next year. Versions with operating frequencies of 8mhz, 12mhz, and even 16mhz will be launched one after another. Jerry Sanders answered confidently.
Then I will trust you. Tang Huan nodded slightly, The other second suppliers of intel80286 are expected to produce results. Everyone makes money based on production capacity and good product rate. Fangyuan Computer Company will buy as much as they have. How many.
...
On November 23, the romance film Mother and Daughter Love invested and released by United Artists and MGM was released. Tang Huan, who came to Los Angeles, attended the premiere ceremony of the day.
This is only a small-cost movie worth 8 million dollars, but Tang Huan is still very optimistic about it, but the main purpose of his trip is to meet a few people.
Filming of Raiders of the Lost Ark 2: Legend of the Lost Ark, written by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg, has begun.
Tang Huan once hoped that Lucas and Spielberg could change the story of this movie to revolve around the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, but due to the competition with Paramount and Lucas had already set the outline in his mind, In the end no agreement was reached.
Since we can’t reach an agreement, I’ll do it myself. Anyway, the resources in my hand have been accumulated enough. Tang Huan didn’t care too much. He just hoped that Spielberg could serve as the producer and pass it off. Baby Raiders has a lot of experience on how such adventure-themed works can please the audience.
Now that Tang Huan has spoken in person, no matter how tight the schedule is, Spielberg must find a way to adjust the schedule.
Later, Tang Huan and Ted Turner met and secretly met Barry Diller, CEO of Paramount Pictures, on a luxury yacht.
After Charles Bludorn died of a heart attack on his private plane, the huge industry he was in charge of naturally had a lot of struggles, and Paramount was not spared either, but it has not affected the normal operation for the time being. That's all.
Barry Diller has served as the CEO of Paramount Pictures since 1974, and has gathered a group of loyal followers, including Michael Eisner. As a result, the board of directors was deeply afraid, and the conflicts between them could no longer be suppressed.
Tang Huan, who has a keen sense of smell, naturally noticed this trouble, so he planned with Ted Turner. See if you can poach Barry Diller to CNN and grow the cable business.
Tang Huan could see it. Barry Diller was moved, but it seemed that he still had some nostalgia for Paramount, so he remained patient and agreed to wait for the other party to think carefully before replying.
Looking at the back of Barry Diller leaving, Ted Turner frowned and said, This is a great god. I'm really worried about CNN. They can't tolerate him.
The development momentum of CNN is so good that it is just around the corner to surpass the traditional three major TV networks. Of course, Barry Diller can afford it. Tang Huan turned his eyes to Ted Turner, and said bluntly: Barry Diller's respect for Cable Network Development has a very unique ability, as long as you, the boss, are not suspicious, CNN will enter a new era of development.
You underestimate my strength too much. I wish I could take it easy. Ted Turner laughed in embarrassment, I just don't know if Barry Diller is willing to leave Paramount.
Keep an eye on it. I don't think Barry Diller can stand up to Paramount's internal strife. Tang Huan judged firmly, I hope that CNN will not miss this person, such a great talent. If you can't help me It is regrettable that it is used in the second place, and it has not been able to be won over by competitors. It has become a serious problem.
I will personally follow up on this matter. Ted Turner nodded kindly, and then said: By the way, the sailboat we sponsored will participate in the Australian sailing competition after Christmas. How about going to the scene to cheer together?
Ted Turner is a professional player in marine sports. He is very proficient in surfing, sailing and other sports. Tang Huan was also pulled by him to participate, and he became interested in playing.
Okay. Then go to the southern hemisphere for Christmas. Tang Huan readily agreed.
...
November 28, 1983 Fall Dex. It opened in Las Vegas, and Tang Huan, who was absent from Spring Dex, was absent. Of course you have to be there, otherwise you might be interpreted by the media and be afraid of IBM.
With the increasing influence of dex in the IT field, many companies have begun to consciously adjust their industrial R\u0026D cycle to adapt to this kind of national IT industry exhibition held twice a year or once a year
The same is true of Big Blue, which uses this much-anticipated platform to release a new generation of personal computer ibm- with a product model of ibm5170, where at means advanced technology.
Compared with the previous personal computer products, the most obvious enhancement of ibm- is that the isa bus has been upgraded from 8 bits to 16 bits, which has matched the intel 80286 with a complete 16-bit design.
In order to reduce the cost, the cpu used by the ibm- with the product model ibm5150 and the ibm- with the product model ibm5160 is intel8088, which is a shrunken version of intel8086. The data bus width is 8 bits, and the corresponding isa bus is also 8 bits.
However, compared with Tang Huan, IBM's pulse on the personal computer market is obviously far behind. The performance gap between 8-bit and 16-bit is not even a little bit. Enough to make business users willing to pay more.
IBM is aware of this backwardness, so it hastened to catch up with the new generation of product IBM-.
Its memory capacity is at least 256kb, and like the second-generation Fangyuan computer, it introduces a memory stick design.
In addition to the 525-inch 12mb floppy drive, a 20mb hard drive comes standard.
Microsoft has developed a new version of the operating system for ibm-. As for the smoke bombs released to compete with rp's graphical user interface system, it is very shameful that the ticket was skipped according to the plan, and there is no result to show at all.
On the other hand, rp, which was under siege, was also very disappointing. Although it was displayed, it was obviously not completed, and the various problems exposed seriously hit people's expectations.
After seeing this scene, Tang Huan shook his head with emotion, These people have impure motives, and they act too hastily, they are simply bringing shame on themselves!
At this time, Charles Simeone walked over quickly and reported in a low voice: Database manufacturers have made great moves, and they have begun to support multiple hardware platforms. dbase launched a minicomputer version, and launched Fangyuan computer and ibm- version of.
Tang Huan frowned, and asked in surprise, The database has entered our hardware platform?
Yes. Charles Simeone nodded, The latest version, using the compatibility and consistency of our operating system's programming interface, can be used on all hardware platforms including Fangyuan servers, Fangyuan workstations, and Fangyuan personal computers. run on.
I didn't expect that people like Larry Ellison are really brave enough to become a blockbuster. Tang Huan waved his hand, Come on, I want to watch it on the spot.
...
As early as 1977-Larry Ellison, r-Bob Miner, and S-Ed Oates jointly founded a company called Software Development Laboratory or SDL.
By 1978, the first version of the database was developed in assembly language.
In 1979, the company name was changed from sdl to - associated software company ie.
With the success of database products, simply in 1982, changed its name again - Oracle Systems Corporation.
The operating platform of the database was originally the minicomputer of the company, etc., and the target customer was a large organization such as the Central Intelligence Agency.
With the strong computing power provided by Fangyuan PC, Fangyuan workstation and Fangyuan server, the ebase market expands rapidly and encounters the database unexpectedly. (To be continued.)
