Whether it's difficult to speak out or praise it, love it or hate it, these connections truly exist there.

Tang Huan, who can see clearly, doesn't need to work too hard, as long as he moves the most critical link, he can take the initiative at the least cost.

As a result of this association, Tang Huan slowly came up with an idea to cope with the possible wave of ibm-pc compatible machines.

Since people such as Gordon Campbell can be inspired to design an ibm-pc compatible chip with the same function but at a lower price, then someone can certainly see the business opportunity of developing third-party compatible bios.

At that time, any garage factory can manufacture and sell ibm-pc compatible machines by simply kneading Intel-based CPUs, third-party chips, and bios. It can be said that it is easy to get clothes and get some food. The degree of open mouth.

Is this the ultimate reduction in the difficulty of making personal computers? Of course not. If you have a chip, you have to design a circuit board. For non-professionals, it is still not completely friendly.

Only by reaching the point of assembling the machine in the original time and space can everyone start. And this direction is bound to be the general trend. Because it is equivalent to bringing users closer to the manufacturing, service, and maintenance of personal computers, the purchase cost is correspondingly lower.

Since the second generation of Fangyuan personal computers, there has been a structured design of cpu sockets, memory sticks, expansion cards, motherboards, power supplies, and so on. The ibm-pc/at, which is being developed by Giant Blue, has only begun to introduce the concept of memory sticks for ibm-pc. As for other types of personal computers, the components are still connected by welding, and it is not bad to provide an open functional expansion slot.

It can be said that Fangyuan personal computers have already had the adaptability of assembling machines.

In order to further expand the market share of Fangyuan's personal computer standard, Tang Huan does not mind taking risks and launches this personal computer manufacturing concept, whose impact is difficult to assess.

only. How to circulate the accessories used in the assembly machine in harmony with the existing channels of the brand machine. More worthy of scrutiny.

But no matter what, Tang Huan was ready to release the assembly machine. Therefore, during the period of filming in Tokyo, he had to take the time to communicate with Japanese compatible machine manufacturers.

...

At this time, new news came from the United States.

Adam Osborne finally failed to withstand the operating pressure and filed for bankruptcy protection for his company, hoping to launch a brand new portable personal computer during this buffer period. To get out of trouble.

Tang Huan couldn't help shaking his head. Adam Osborne's performance made him a little disappointed, but he still told John Chambers to help each other as much as possible, as Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. had a good relationship.

In addition, ibm cannot miss the opportunity of the third-generation Fangyuan personal computer quality door without taking advantage of it. It has introduced two new models ibm-pc/portable and ibmpc/jr.

The R&D background of ibm-pc/portable is very simple. When the blue giant saw that Compaq portable computers were so popular in the market, it was so jealous that an ibm-pc compatible computer could grab money so easily. Of course, I can't lag behind, so I launched the official version of the portable ibm-pc.

As a result, Big Blue is on the personal computer product line. From basic ibm-pc, to ibm-pc/xt equipped with hard disk, and portable ibm-pc/portable, it is very complete.

As for ibmpc/jr, it belongs to a new product category. The idea from the current chief engineer Bill Sydneys is a simplified version of ibm-pc and can be upgraded to ibm-pc. The sales target is to enter every family.

Obviously. IBM wants to expand its share in the personal computer market, so it targets the field of cheap computers.

but. Tang Huan laughed when he saw the $1,500 selling price on the report document. Xin said that this is also called a cheap personal computer. It seems that you really can't understand the concept of making a lot of money.

However, the scalable design of Bill Sydneys upgraded from ibmpc/jr to ibmpc attracted Tang Huan's interest. He decided to observe what the giant blue claimed was true, and the true reaction of the market.

After writing his own opinion, Tang Huan's gaze fell on the next report, which introduced how the part of Warner stocks held by Yanle Entertainment Group was sought after, and even Steve Rose also conveyed one. Meaning, I want to talk to him.

Seeing this, Tang Huan was extremely curious. You know, you and Steve Rose have reached the point of getting bored with each other, what can you talk about?

After calculating the time difference, Tang Huan informed his subordinates in the United States to ask Steve Rose to contact him. The overseas call is so "expensive", of course the other party is responsible for the payment.

...

After learning that Tang Huan was willing to negotiate with him, Steve Rose was a little relieved. Warner's current situation is both delicate and dangerous. He must put aside some personal grievances and take the initiative to mediate.

After the call was connected, the two old rivals were too lazy to greet each other pretentiously, and went straight to the subject.

Tang Huan asked hardly: "What's the matter with me? It's night in Tokyo. If it weren't for your age, I'd plan to let you call over in ten hours."

"That said, I would also like to thank you for your politeness." Steve Rose, who was holding fire in his heart, satirized and said directly, "How about selling me the Warner stock in your hand? Just ask! "

The biggest trouble Steve Rose faces now is that he can’t figure out Tang Huan’s mind and cannot predict that the other party will sell this part of the stock to News Corporation, Time Media, Turner Broadcasting Company, and Cork Kirklian. The one.

But no matter what the outcome is, these four parties are not easy to deal with. Steve Rose still hopes to repurchase this part of the stock by himself, even if he is severely slaughtered by Tang Huan.

"But I don't need much money now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I am more willing to help Warner tide over the difficulties in front of me." Tang Huan hit a haha.

"Don't pretend, no one can just treat hundreds of millions of dollars in cash as nothing, nor can you be the richest man." Steve Rose said impatiently, "How do I sell Atari to you? In this way, ea It's completely dominated by the family."

"Thank you for speaking out. Now that the video game industry is so bad, Atari is about to collapse. Do you want to give me the burden?" Tang Huan snorted disdainfully, "You might as well sell me Warner Records. ."

"Fortunately, you can say it. Now the video game industry is so bad. Movies and records are the most profitable department of Warner." Steve Rose retorted.

"Then there is nothing to talk about. You can't come up with the bargaining chips that interest me." Tang Huan was about to hang up immediately.

"Wait." Steve Rose hurriedly tentatively asked, "Then who are you going to sell this stock to?"

"Which power do you hope to get this part of the stock?" Tang Huan asked playfully. (To be continued.)
