Chapter 0697 Unable to calm Europe

It's almost done with code, so I'll read it in half an hour. "Lecture" (Fiction

...

How to package a person with great knowledge through the "public opinion machine"? Tang Huan's divine character is the gentleman style of the East and the gentleman style of the West; Jobs is like an exaggerated king.

In order to have his own characteristics, Gates chose the civilian route after careful consideration.

For example, even with considerable wealth, he still refused to ride in a luxury car and the plane was in a second class cabin; in public, he tried to act approachable, patiently mediate with skeptical reporters, responded tirelessly to most requests, and even performed happily.

Of course, no matter how in form, this "god creation" movement has one thing in common, that is, whether Tang Huan, Jobs, or Gates, they are all described as the myth of the reason why the company under its leadership can create and grow, and the only representative of the outside world.

However, although the divine nature can be used to imitate operations in shortcuts, divine power needs to be accumulated honestly.

Microsoft, which was successfully listed in the middle of this month, has a market value of nearly US$700 million, which is more than US$1 billion when EA was listed through backdoor listing. The market value of Fangyuan Computer IPO is billions of US dollars, which is incomparable.

So, no matter how good Gates is between the major camps, in front of Tang Huan, he still has to keep his duties and answer questions and answers - this is also a prerequisite for the real Silicon Valley overlord to indulge him.

After formally congratulating Microsoft on its successful iPo in person and Gates entered the Billionaire Club, Tang Huan asked about his important matters, "How is the next generation of ibm's personal computer PS/2 project now?"

"From the prototype used by Microsoft and ibm to jointly develop the new operating system Os/2, the Ps/2 product will be launched at the end of this year, so there should be no big problem." Because there is a secret agreement to provide reference information, Gates did not hide it and answered happily.

He really has no moral integrity in this regard, just like he and ibm can be called partners, but through careful trading agreement design, he turned around and sold ms-dos to the Blue Giant's compatible ibm-pc manufacturer. This part of the software licensing fees have become a major source of profit for Microsoft.

Observing Tang Huan's face, Gates smiled and said, "It seems that the development progress of ibm is a bit slow, but PS/2 is indeed a big deal and is worthy of careful polishing. This new closed platform has redesigned a bus called ure-microchannel architecture. It has the characteristics of mainframe/360. It can be equipped with the full CPU of Intel8086, Intel80286, and Intel80386. In addition, the new operating system Os/2 that supports multitasking and graphical user interface functions, thus maintaining compatibility in the software and can even be integrated with the ibm mainframe platform."

Tang Huan made a joke, "I thought the ps/2 project was slow to progress, and it was because you were helping me secretly by slowing down the development of the operating system os/2."

Gates waved his hand in a very troubled manner, "I want you to owe such a favor, but I have the will but not the strength. The problems encountered in jointly developing the new operating system Os/2 were beyond everyone's expectations."

Tang Huan smiled but said nothing, of course he had known this long ago. How could ibm, and ambitious Microsoft, who control everything, really make the music and the fundamental differences in their interests and demands, make them both in a state of harmony from the beginning.

Especially based on experience, there will be a human nature that will invisibly constrain it. After Microsoft successfully went public, as long as Microsoft programmers with priority equity are not stupid, they will all be full of money. This makes the ibm engineers who are highly regarded and have already had conflicts. How can they bear the relationship?

"The appearance of os/2 makes the status of ms-dos and windows a little awkward." Tang Huan stimulated Gates' nerves calmly.

"There is no way. Being able to cooperate with ibm is a resource in itself. If we don't compromise, we may be replaced by others." Gates shrugged indifferently, "Although the fourth generation of Fangyuan personal computers have gained the first-mover advantage, ps/2 can also come up with targeted countermeasures through observation. I am quite looking forward to the next battle between you both."

Tang Huan nodded slightly, but Gates was not wrong. Old-established companies like ibm with deep foundations naturally have enough resources to gain a chance to breathe for themselves.

But then again, if even the carefully crafted new generation of personal computer architecture ps/2 will eventually fail, then ibm may really have to admit defeat.

Therefore, the upcoming battle between P/2 and the fourth generation of square-circular personal computers may also include an upgrader of the ibm-pc compatible machine that has been abandoned by the blue giant, and it will be the final try to determine the direction of personal computer standards.

In fact, Tang Huan did not underestimate ps/2. In original time and space, although he was belittled in various ways due to market failure, the main reason is that there are problems with ibm's operation, not that the technology itself is useless.

To give a small example, the Ps/2 interface connecting the keyboard and the mouse. It even has a place to stay in the era when the USB interface keyboard and mouse have become mainstream, because its "full key conflict-free" feature can make some mechanical keyboards feel like they are in water when working.

People's first achievements in new fields are often not perfect. ibm-pc is an example. There are many inadequate design considerations, especially compared with the Fangyuan personal computers launched from the perspective of God, they are becoming more stupid, such as lacking the flexibility of upward upgrade or downward streamlining.

After trying to fight back on ibm, after summarizing the mistakes of ibm-pc and absorbing the successful advantages of Fangyuan personal computers, the ps/2 launched will definitely be a relatively complete explanation.

It is naturally a ibm-pc compatible machine that everyone likes without paying any fees for technical specifications. It is based on this point.

The reason why Tang Huan is confident of defeating various personal computer platforms including ibm-pc compatible machines is that he can continuously add the latest practical functions to his Fangyuan personal computer platform and crush his competitors with this; he just doesn't know how much ps/2 can do this to help recover the lost ground in his own camp.

...

After ventilation, Tang Huan and Gates separated and were all busy.

Although Europe is a prosperous place, its personal computer market has a feature that is unfamiliar, that is, mid- and low-end products are very vital, so that 8-bit platforms like the first generation of Fangyuan Personal Computers still have considerable sales and market share.

In view of this, Tang Huan did not simply show the hardware performance of the 32-bit four-generation Fangyuan personal computer on the CE-T, but instead organized a complete application ecosystem centered on it to highlight the many benefits of the 32-bit platform.

There is no doubt that such careful arrangements have surprisingly good results, which attracted many people to give orders on the spot.

However, the biggest sensation came from higher-end product lines, especially the DSL technology. As soon as it was unveiled, everyone was fooled, and representatives of companies related to the communications industry said that they could not calm down.

You should know that Europe has basically decided to promote ISDN at this stage, but now a dsl technology that extends life to traditional simulated networks has suddenly emerged, which has made those communication companies that are already worried about the cost and expenses become half-hearted.

At this time, the German Post, which had not yet been split, was just sitting on wax. As early as 1979, it decided to digitize all local phones in Germany.

At that time, some people warned about the risks of this technology. For example, some data protection experts from the Green Party commented that isdn provides a "qualitative leap" possibility for fully capturing data.

At this stage, the telecommunications industry is almost completely controlled by the state without any surprise. Even if it is to be privatized, it has not yet begun to be implemented. Changing the telephone network is an act that involves huge economic interests both now and in the future, and naturally it is linked to various interest demands in the political arena.

This is the case in Western Germany. Many political figures, regardless of whether they really understand technology or not, went around the exhibition center in Hannover and watched Tang Huan's demonstration platform built by his subordinates.

In fact, through careful design, the many benefits of dsl can be seen at a glance, such as the two functions of telephone and Internet surfing are executed without interfering with each other, as well as other iconic digital services, etc.

Politicians suddenly found the topic: According to the current progress of ISDN network construction, if you want to have real line-release ability, it is estimated that it will take until ten years to the mid-1990s. But in sharp contrast, if the same function is achieved through technological upgrades on the existing simulated network, it will naturally save a lot of time.

A country's leading position is reflected in many aspects, and telecommunications is undoubtedly one of them. West Germany, which was originally well prepared, may have backfired by its decision-making mistakes on ISDN.

German Post is extremely impressed with this, and it has no turning back. Its plan to build a fully digital isDN network is ambitious. What if it suddenly comes to an abrupt end now, what should we do if those agreed-in bank loans, equipment purchase orders signed, and corporate development plans formulated?

In order to prevent itself from being so passive, German Post quickly organized personnel and analyzed which is better and worse, based on the information disclosed by Tang Huan.

Not to mention, the Germans did find an excuse to defend themselves: it will take some time to improve dsl to reach the level of practical application, so deploying dsl network will not have a time advantage than building an isDN network. As for cost, that... needs further evaluation.

Of course, Tang Huan did not need to come forward personally for this kind of debate. His subordinates handled related propaganda matters. Anyway, the more intense the argument you are, the more attention the media will pay, and the effect of free advertising will be better.

Moreover, he is overwhelmed with receiving heavyweights coming from the crowd for the dvo-i system, dsl, zheru global certification and education, one child, one computer program, etc.

Of course, Tang Huan never lets his work be boring, and the stars he has carefully cultivated provide a variety of social occasions.

The tennis event is currently in the European competition zone, and Steffy Graff, who will be 17 years old, is playing in the WTA Tour in Stuttgart, Germany.

The Milan Fashion Week, the world's four major fashion weeks, is also in full swing in Milan, Italy. The 22-year-old Monica Bellucci is showing off the splendor of supermodels.

The final of the world's largest singing competition, "European Singing Competition", is not far away, and 18-year-old Celine Dion is actively preparing in Switzerland.

Sophie Marceau, who participated in three movies "First Contact", was a little quieter, and almost made some minor mistakes and was undergoing ideological transformation - pursuing a university degree.
