Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

After confirming the test results, the U.S. National Security Agency and other NATO members immediately revised the advanced specifications of Storm anti-eavesdropping information. Bell Labs, major banks and other institutions that are also sensitive to information leakage On request, a special version for civilian use was also launched. .

You should know that this kind of specification is not a document that can be consulted at will, and even some of the detailed rules and regulations are kept secret. After all, this kind of fighting method, where the Dao is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, is often aimed at extremely sexual attacks. If you show specific measures, others may prescribe the right 'medicine' to crack it.

The reason why the US National Security Agency was able to provide a civilian version this time was not only due to the pressure of the spread of panic in the business community, but also because with the advancement of technology, some problems have inevitably entered the public domain.

Advanced product technology does not mean that it is safe and worry-free. In the original time and space, many heads of state only limited use of mobile phones is an example.

Another piece of evidence is the political election process. Why use the original manual counting of votes when the electronic information collection equipment has matured? The reason is that this kind of information leakage may lead to fraud.

Therefore, mysterious electronic eavesdropping is not just a legend. It may happen to the public without anyone noticing it. The US National Security Agency must face up to this demand.

As for the instigator who frightened everyone into flying dogs, not only did he not provoke any complaints, but he also received a lot of praise, thanking him for his early attention to this field and avoiding possible major information security incidents.

This kind of recognition was first manifested in the US Department of Defense throwing out a large order worth 242 million US dollars to Fangyuan Computer and Zheru Software, including 90,000 computers.

However, this money is not so easy to earn, because the other party requires subsequent maintenance and upgrades to last for more than ten years. The accounting departments of Fangyuan and Zheru worked day and night to calculate and evaluate the profits and the accompanying risks.

Fortunately, no matter what, there is one more business opportunity to open the way for brand new 32-bit microcomputer products, and it is still a high-end field that is not bad for money.

The product circuit design can meet the electromagnetic radiation standard required by the storm specification, and Fangyuan computer is unique in this regard. Attracted major customers who have needs in this regard to take the initiative to visit.

...

As the big boss, Tang Huan is mainly responsible for pointing out the direction for his subordinates and finding various jobs to keep them busy. This time was no exception. After he had started with a fanfare, he didn't see such ordinary visitors.

Instead, take time out to deal with personal affairs.

My uncle Han Anyuan visited the United States as the head of the Funan government, that is, the prime minister, and Tang Huan was a behind-the-scenes supporter. It is necessary to do a good job of auxiliary work in accordance with its itinerary.

It can be said that as long as the trip goes well. With all further support, including aid, implemented, Tang Huan can almost start his experiment using the country as a canvas.

Even though Funan is small and poor, the contradictions are big and numerous. Han Anyuan started this essential trip to the United States only after making the minimum deployment to stabilize the situation, so the time has been delayed until now.

In this way, Tang Huan, who hadn't stayed on the west coast for many days, flew to the east coast again.

Since he didn't want to make public, he remained behind the scenes. It's not as busy as Han Anyuan who is spinning around.

...

In his spare time, Gerry Roche, a well-known corporate headhunter with extensive social contacts, came to report. Don Estridge of IBM finally agreed to have a private talk with Tang Huan.

Hearing the news, Tang Huan frowned, and asked curiously, Don? Estridge is loyal to IBM. I've heard about it. How do you persuade the other party, risking exposure and criticism? Risk, interview me?

Of course it's because of the pressure of attention caused by sincere poaching and possible job-hopping. Gerry Roche smiled complacently, Moreover, after rumors that Fangyuan Computer Company pursued Don After the news, other computer companies also seemed to understand the mystery. Then they threw an olive branch to Don Estridge with great fanfare, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as sitting on a crater. After all, IBM's trust cannot be unlimited, Big Blue can't give Don Estridge more, and suspicion is inevitable in the end.

Tang Huan pondered and said, You mean, Don Estridge might want to find a way to get rid of the current troubles from me?

Maybe. Gerry Roche nodded, In Don Estridge's opinion, the poaching campaign initiated by Fangyuan Computer Company has more political meaning than talent demand, and he doesn't want to be the It is a symbol and bargaining chip in the struggle between giant companies.

Of course... Gerry Roche smiled playfully, and added: One cannot completely get rid of vanity. He must be very proud and happy to be valued so highly by Tang and Fangyuan Computer Company.

Okay, then bring him to see me right away. Tang Huan made a gesture, I want to take a closer look in person, what kind of mental journey this 'father of IBM-PC' is now, and how IBM can keep itself Is it a star?

...

Being favored by the world's top companies, no matter who it is, it is inevitable to be complacent. The difference is nothing more than this kind of emotion is on the surface or hidden in the heart. Don? Estridge belongs to the latter without exception, but he also Annoyed.

Although IBM is self-contained, similar to an independent kingdom, and has a certain degree of closure, but the news that Fangyuan Computer Company poached the founder of the personal computer department of rival IBM with a high salary has too much to offer. There is a place for hype, and the media will talk about it every day or two. Gossip is flying all over the sky, and it is also widely circulated within IBM.

It is not difficult to imagine that Don Estridge, the vice president of IBM, will attract colored eyes no matter where he goes. Even his good friend, Bill Lovo, who succeeded him and is currently in charge of the personal computer business, asked privately, What do you plan to do now?

What plans can I have? Don Estridge asked gloomily, and then smiled bitterly: Actually, my idea is very simple and simple. I just want to stay at IBM until I retire.

Even if you like to work and live in a simple way, I'm afraid the external situation will not allow you to do so. After all, not everyone is so simple, and there are quite a few people who like to 'complicate' simple things. Bill Lovo said with emotion: You can't feel the strangeness in the eyes of many people around you?

Actually, I'm like a mirror in my heart. The most important thing about Fangyuan Computer Company is my status as the former leader of IBM-PC. Once I leave the company, it will seriously damage IBM's morale. Don Estrich emphasized his tone Said: I don't want to be this betrayer, but facing those suspicious eyes, I feel very uncomfortable.

There's no such thing as a traitor. IBM can't always be a place where people can fight for their lives. Bill Lovo added meaningfully: Take the personal computer business. If it hasn't started' color', that mass cuts are not out of the question.

What. Is the development of the PS/2 project not going well? Although he was transferred from the department of the personal computer department, Don Estridge, who has devoted a lot of effort here, still cares deeply about its every move.

Do you know the biggest difference between the development of PS/2 and the original development of IBM-PC? Bill Lovo asked without answering.

Don Estridge hardly thought about it, and opened his mouth to answer: At that time, our department was independent from IBM's existing system. There is no need to restrain your hands. It can often achieve 120% efficiency. Now, the IBM-PC department has returned to the management system of the head office, and it is no different from other units. It does everything, no matter how big or small, They all pay attention to procedures and are infected with bureaucratic habits.”

That's it. Bill Lowell sighed. When the IBM-PC was first developed, there were only a dozen members of the project team, and the time was only more than a year; the current personal computer department has more than 10,000 employees, but it can still replicate the miracle of IBM-PC research and development. , the PS/2 in just over a year?

Don Estridge was silent for a moment. Tentatively asked: How far has the PS/2 project research and development progressed?

It's a foregone conclusion that it won't be launched this year. Bill Lovo shrugged, You know, compared to the previous IBM-PC to IBM-PC/XT, and then to IBM-PC/AT, there are After the foundation, it is gradually upgraded. It can save some effort; but PS/2 needs to create a new architecture, the workload can be imagined. And there are four generations of Fangyuan PCs as competitors for reference, PS The /2 design had to be changed several times.

This is only internally. Externally, we and Microsoft jointly developed the brand-new 'operating system' OS/2. The progress is also fast and slow, and the programmers on both sides are very at odds and often quarrel.

It can be said that Microsoft, which is preparing to go public, can no longer handle it; after the first spreadsheet software, Multiplan, was eliminated by Lotus1-2-3, a similar product of Lotus software, we still did not give up. MAC, developed the first spreadsheet software Excel on this platform.”

In addition, Gates is very restless in terms of operating systems. While providing MS-DOS for the entire IBM-PC standard platform, he is promoting another operating system, Xenix; while co-developing OS/2 with us, On the one hand, we are actively preparing to release Windows 1.0, a graphical user interface system, within this year.

Speaking of this, Bill Lovo shook his head sarcastically, Half-hearted, it's nothing more than that, and it's hard for Microsoft to 'spend' such deep scheming.

On the matter of Microsoft, Don Estridge is not ashamed to participate in the comments, because this software company that also sucks blood from IBM, the reason why it has the capital to stand up to the 'Yin' violation, except for IBM Former chief executive Johann Opel's connections were extraneous. It also had a lot to do with his almost conniving carelessness when he was in office.

So, Don Estridge continued to analyze the progress of the PS/2 project: If PS/2 comes out next year, it will give too much time for the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer to seize the market.

It's not just personal computers. We seem to have missed a certain opportunity in the development of microcomputers. Unfortunately, there is no chance to make up for it. Bill Lovo shook his head a little desolately, and patted Don Estridge again before leaving. Don't be too strict with yourself, the saint is just a legend. This time I went to Los Angeles for vacation, just to stay away from right and wrong, and let go of my heart and relax.

...

Don Estridge heard a lot of information from Bill Lovo's sincere concern from his friends, and he couldn't fully digest it for a while, but he decided to listen to one thing first, that is, to eliminate the public opinion around him as soon as possible Gossip, and the most effective way is to deal directly with Tang Huan, the supreme ruler of the opposing camp.

After expressing this wish to Gerry Rozzie who 'harassed' him once every three days, Don Estridge waited for the other party's reply while preparing to go to Los Angeles.

He and his wife, Mary Ann Ellier, have three children, but they were the only ones on this trip, along with IBM interns and family members of some employees.

After Don Estridge got the ticket, Gerry Roche wrote back, Don just has time, so come.

then go for it! Don Estridge, who had no other choice, consulted his wife, Why don't you go to Los Angeles first, and I'll be there later after talking about things.

Mary Ann Ellier understood her husband's predicament this year very well, so she said, I'd better accompany you. It's not bad to go around New York.

In this way, the couple set off from Florida to meet Tang Huan. The richest man was very generous, seeing that it was too late, he was not in a hurry to start the talks, but arranged for them to stay in a five-star hotel first.

Women are always unavoidable to gossip. Mary Ann Ellier was curiously talking about the legendary Tang Huan, while turning on the TV, CNN was broadcasting the news.

Delta Air Lines Flight 191 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Los Angeles crashed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport at around 18:05 local time, killing approximately 134 people. , 29 people were lucky to survive.”

The initial estimate was that the cause of the accident was weather, but a Learjet landed successfully at the airport a minute before the tragedy.

My God, isn't this the plane we plan to take to Los Angeles! Mary Ann Ellier yelled, and Don Estridge, who was looking at the document, snapped in fright. Dropped the pen in his hand on the ground.
