Although Intel unexpectedly became a **** again for ibm, it did not catch Tang Huan by surprise. The main purpose of this trip was achieved, that is, to further consolidate trust with Andy Grove and establish It is not a tacit understanding of outsiders.

In the Intel parking lot, Tang Huan happened to meet Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore to send Arthur Locke, which made him chant the name of Arthur Locke, the king of venture capital, in the car several times.

That year, Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore took a business plan and ran to Arthur Locke to establish Intel’s investment. It only took 5 minutes to negotiate a deal of 2.5 million US dollars.

Later, this matter was rendered as a myth by the media, how Arthur Locke was able to discern the bead, and how Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore taught the country.

But the actual situation is that the two sides have known each other a long time ago. Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore are in such a prosperous position in the Silicon Valley semiconductor industry that they are worth the price.

When I changed to Jerry Sanders to invest in the founding of amd, although he was also from Fairchild Semiconductor, his reputation was not enough and it was a bit hard work.

Arthur Locke later invested in Apple, and he had an intersection with Tang Huan.

To some extent, the so-called venture capital is a systematic betting. As long as one or two of the 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 it is still fundamentally different from the likes of Arthur Locke and Don Valentine.

Even though the latter bears the title of venture capitalist, it is still very careful when it comes to paying for it. In addition, various harsh conditions are added.

But Tang Huan is different. A regular venture capitalist who can reach two out of ten is enough to be called Bole, and he can reach eight out of ten. The shot was firm and ruthless, and it really robbed a lot of people's business. For example, the investment in sun.

People in the venture capital business are all top talents, and they gradually realized this kind of competition. The most obvious example is that some promising entrepreneurial projects could have taken the opportunity to slam their necks, but the other party turned their heads and got it. Tang Huan, an angel investor, provided generous assistance.

But who makes Tang Huan the richest and most generous, others have nothing to say.

But as Tang Huan gradually cultivated Apple as the younger brother who reduced the risk of antitrust prosecution, Arthur Locke couldn't sit still. From time to time, I have expressed my opinion that Apple’s development has been artificially set a ceiling.

With the help of the "father of spreadsheets", Tang Huan became a shareholder of Apple Inc. and won the title of billionaire at the fastest speed. After that, he left Apple and developed his own personal computer business. Extreme.

The three founders, Markkula, Jobs, and Woz, can benefit from the philosopher, so they can't say anything, but other shareholders who have thought about it may not have resentment.

Arthur Locke jumped out unexpectedly. Using one's own influence to help ibm lobby Intel is likely to be a backlash against 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 as soon as possible.

Tang Huan couldn't help being a little speechless looking at this guy's ecstatic appearance.

"I didn't expect Intel to be so stupid, not to honestly abide by the supplier's duty, and actually wander in the muddy waters of the competition between Fangyuan Computer and the ibm market. It seems that the opportunity for AMD is here." Jerry Sanders said with joy.

"I invited you here, not to listen to your analysis of the general trend." Tang Huan waved his hand in an annoyed manner. "The opportunity for AMD's cpu to replace intel80286 is indeed at hand, but the question is. When will your am286 be mass-produced?"

"The first quarter of next year. Versions running at 8mhz, 12mhz, and even 16mhz will be launched one after another." Jerry Sanders replied confidently.

"Then I believe you." Tang Huan nodded slightly, "The other second suppliers of intel80286 are expected to produce results. Everyone makes money based on their production capacity and yield. Fangyuan Computer Company will buy as much as possible. How many."

...

On November 23, the romance film "Mother and Daughter Love" released by Lianmei and MGM was released. Tang Huan, who came to Los Angeles, attended the premiere ceremony of the day by the way.

This is just a small cost movie of 8 million dollars, but Tang Huan is still very optimistic, but the main purpose of his trip is to meet a few people.

The film "Indiana Jones: Legend of the Devil's Palace", written by George Lucas and directed by Stephen Spielberg, has already begun.

Tang Huan once hoped that Lucas and Spielberg could change the story of the film to revolve around the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but due to the competition with Paramount and Lucas had already set the outline in his heart. In the end, no agreement was reached.

Since we can’t agree, we’ll do it alone. Anyway, the resources in his hand have accumulated enough. Tang Huan didn’t care too much. He just hoped that Spielberg could act as the producer and check it off. After all, he twice directed "The Capture". "Bao Qibing", I have a lot of experience on how such adventure-themed works can please the audience.

Since Tang Huan had spoken in person, Spielberg had to find a way to adjust his schedule no matter how tight the schedule was.

Later, Tang Huan and Ted Turner rendezvous, on a luxury yacht, secretly received Paramount Pictures CEO Barry Diller.

After Charles Bludorn died unexpectedly due to a heart attack on his private jet, the huge industry he was in charge of was naturally unavoidable, and Paramount was not immune, except that it had not affected normal operations for the time being. That's it.

Barry Diller has served as the chief executive officer 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 jealous, and the contradictions between them could no longer be suppressed.

Tang Huan, who has a keen sense of smell, naturally noticed this turmoil, so he planned with Ted Turner. See if Barry Diller can dig into CNN to develop the cable TV business.

Tang Huan could see it. Barry Diller's heart was moved, but he seemed to still have some nostalgia for Paramount, so he maintained his patience and agreed to wait for the other party to consider carefully before replying.

Seeing Barry Diller's back, Ted Turner frowned and said, "This is a great god. I'm really worried that CNN will not be able to tolerate others."

"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, you can afford Barry Diller." Tang Huan turned his eyes to Ted Turner, and said bluntly: "Barry Diller told the cable network. Development has a very unique ability. As long as you, the boss, are not jealous, CNN will enter a new period of development."

"You too underestimate my temperament. I wish to relax." Ted Turner slapped a little embarrassingly. "I just don't know if Barry Diller is willing to leave Paramount."

"Keep your eyes on it, I guess Barry Diller will not be able to withstand Paramount's infighting in this round." Tang Huan judged firmly, "I hope CNN will not miss this person, such a talent. If it can't help me Regardless of what it was used, regret came second, and I couldn't help being overwhelmed by competitors. It became a confession."

"I will follow this personally." Ted Turner nodded graciously, and then said: "By the way, the sailboats we sponsor will participate in the Australian sailing race after Christmas. How about going to the scene together to cheer."

Ted Turner is a professional player in marine sports. He is very proficient in surfing, sailing and other sports. Tang Huan was also dragged by him to participate and showed interest in playing.

"Okay. Then go to the Southern Hemisphere for Christmas." Tang Huan readily agreed.

...

On November 28, the dex in the fall of 1983. Opening in Las Vegas, Tang Huan who missed the spring dex. Of course you have to be there, or you might be afraid of ibm being interpreted by the media.

With the increasing influence of dex in the it field, many companies have begun to consciously adjust their industrial R&D cycle to adapt to this bi-annual or once-a-year national it industry exhibition

The same is true for Giant Blue, which uses this highly anticipated platform to release a new generation of personal computer ibm- with the product model ibm5170, where at means advanced technology.

Compared with previous personal computer products, the most obvious enhancement of ibm- is that it has upgraded the isa bus from 8-bit to 16-bit, which has matched the intel80286 with a fully 16-bit design.

In order to reduce costs, the previous product model is ibm- of ibm5150 and product model is ibm- of ibm5160. The CPU used is the reduced version of intel8088 of intel8086, and the data bus width is 8 bits, and the corresponding isa bus is also 8 bits.

However, IBM’s personal computer market is obviously far behind Tang Huan. The performance gap between 8-bit and 16-bit is not a little bit. Although Tang Huan’s 16-bit bus solution is a bit more expensive, it has a performance advantage. Enough to make business users willing to pay more for this fee.

ibm is aware of this backwardness, so it hurried to catch up with the new generation of products ibm-.

Its memory capacity is at least 256kb, and like the second-generation Fangyuan computer, the "memory bar" design is introduced.

In addition to a 525-inch 12mb floppy disk drive, a hard disk with a storage capacity of 20mb has become a standard configuration.

Microsoft has developed a new version of the operating system for ibm-. As for the previous competition with rp's graphical user interface system, the smoke bombs released were shamelessly bouncing according to the plan, and there was nothing to display at all.

On the other hand, the RP who was under siege was also very unsatisfied. Although it was displayed, it was obviously not completed. The various problems exposed severely affected people's expectations.

After seeing this scene, Tang Huan shook his head with emotion, "These people have impure motives, and they have acted too hastily. They are simply humiliating themselves!"

At this time, Charles Simeone walked over quickly and whispered a report: "Database vendors are not small and have begun to support multiple hardware platforms. dbase launched a minicomputer version, and launched a Fangyuan computer and ibm- version of."

Tang Huan raised his brows and asked in surprise, "Has the database entered our hardware platform?"

"Yes." Charles Simeone nodded, "The latest version, using the compatibility and consistency of our operating system in the programming interface, can be used on all hardware platforms including Fangyuan Server, Fangyuan Workstation, and Fangyuan Personal Computer. Run on."

"Unexpectedly, people like Larry Ellison are really good enough to make a big splash~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Tang Huan waved his hand, "Go, I want to watch it live. "

...

As early as 1977-Larry Ellison, R-Bob Miner, and S-Ed Oates co-founded a company called-Software Development Lab or SDL.

In 1978, the first version of the database developed in assembly language came out.

In 1979, the company's name was changed from sdl to-connected software company.

With the success of the database product, simply in 1982, it was renamed again-Oracle Systems.

The operating platform of the database was initially the minicomputers of such companies, and the target customers were large organizations such as the Central Intelligence Agency.

With the powerful computing power provided by Fangyuan PCs, Fangyuan Workstations, and Fangyuan Servers, the ebase market has expanded rapidly, and it has met with databases unexpectedly. (To be continued.)
