It turned out that Stephen Hawking recently went to visit CERN, and as a result, he got severe pneumonia, to the point where he had to use the life support system.

For this scientist, Tang Huan’s mood is very complicated. It can satisfy his own incomparable curiosity about this mysterious existence of the universe to a great extent. However, the other party is quite lonely because of his physical limitations. To a certain extent, he is a man. Good secret keeper.

Whenever possible, the richest man does not want to lose such a rare friend.

When Tang Huan saw Stephen Hawking in the intensive care unit, his condition stabilized, but he needed a tracheotomy to help breathing. But in this way, the scientist who had difficulty speaking will once again lose the ability to speak.

After asking his wife, Jen Wilder, to hand over the last part of the manuscript of "A Brief History of Time" to Tang Huan, Stephen Hawking said with difficulty: "Although I am already a scientist, I still want to be a popular science writer. ."

This may be the last time I heard Stephen Hawking take the initiative to speak. After Tang Huan sighed in secret, he nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "I will arrange the publishing and distribution."

Stephen Hawking smiled relievedly and closed his eyes wearily.

"Madam, are there any difficulties on your side? Please don't be polite and tell me as soon as possible." Tang Huan asked Jean Wilder in private, "You also know that with my financial resources, many problems can be solved. "

After thanking him sincerely, Jen Wilder introduced the current medical situation. "The British National Health Service can pay for it, and we can handle it ourselves for the time being."

The main source of funding is the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, which is responsible for providing a series of health care services to the public. Anyone legally living in the United Kingdom can enjoy most of these services for free. This is often the case for students studying in the United Kingdom. A place to talk about.

Stephen Hawking is a world-famous scientist. Naturally, it cannot be ignored under the British medical welfare system.

"That's good." Tang Huan nodded, "Madam, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can also find me. I cherish this friend Hawking."

...

Stephen Hawking will continue to stay in the intensive care unit. Tang Huan stopped interrupting after the visit and left, and then personally arranged the publication and distribution of "A Brief History of Time".

During this period, the manager of the Chelsea club Brian Mills came over. Inquire about the tone of future work.

After the Hessel Stadium tragedy in the UEFA Champions League final on May 29 this year, the British Football Association preemptively banned the Liverpool club from participating in European competitions in order to ease the severe penalties imposed by UEFA. Other British teams were also affected. At the same time, it is prohibited to participate in European competitions for 5 years.

Sure enough, the development of the situation was as expected. UEFA banned English clubs from participating in all European competitions indefinitely. This is of course only a gesture. The ban was then reduced to 5 years, while Liverpool clubs were sentenced to an additional 3 years.

Even so, the impact is huge. This is especially true for the Chelsea club, which has been developing fiercely since being promoted to the top league, which has won the league's fourth place this year, the best result in history. But next year, he will not be able to participate in European competitions because of this.

Due to their special relationship, the Chelsea club and the a Milan club have become very close, and a large number of warm-up matches of different levels are held between the two every year.

Looking at the Milan club, who won the runner-up in the league this year, won the favor of the female ship king Christina, and then geared up to prepare for a big fight. The management of these clubs like Brian Mills can't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, playing football depends on attracting the boss to invest money in it. The richest man will not lose his patience and he is not interested in Chelsea clubs, right?

For the current results. Tang Huan was still satisfied. After all, the Chelsea club had no deep heritage before.

He directly stated: "Although the chances of the European war in the next five years are gone, the Chelsea team has taken a new journey in the top league. I am still waiting for you and Alex Ferguson to win the championship. I am. Put the shame on the front, the Chelsea club is my face in England, if anyone loses the chain, I will not agree."

Brian Mills replied happily in his heart, he was not afraid of the boss's sternness, even he was afraid of the indifferent kind of carelessness.

Unexpected trivial things like this occurred in the middle, and Tang Huan's original schedule inevitably became tense. After pacifying the management of the Chelsea club, he crossed the Atlantic and came to New York, preparing to attend the global launch ceremony of four generations of Fangyuan personal computers.

...

On Thursday, June 27, 1985, the four generations of Fangyuan personal computers, which received high attention through a series of previous successes, officially met with users.

32-bit personal computer, 32-bit operating system, 32-bit application software, 32-bit network space...Tang Huan gave a passionate speech on this theme.

In fact, due to a large number of media reports, relevant information about the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer has become almost universal. People are more concerned about its practicability and price, which was reflected in the media Q&A session later.

...

"Tang, after the release of ma last year, in addition to several programs developed by Apple itself, almost no third-party software developers provided applications for it. The continued use affects its practicality. May I ask, four generations of Fangyuan personal How is the computer prepared to overcome this?"

...

"Each generation of our Fangyuan personal computer is working hard to maintain backward compatibility to protect users' original IT investment, and the 32-bit fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer is no exception."

"For example, the expansion card on the third-generation Fangyuan personal computer can basically be inserted into the slot of the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer to continue working."

"The latest version of reedos, which comes with the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer, can also allow most of the original applications to run normally without modifying the code, or with minor adjustments."

"As for the new environment of the graphical user interface operating system studios, because the programming model takes time to adapt, the product launch of third-party software developers will inevitably be delayed. However, the application software of software companies such as Zheru, Adobe, and Autodesk can already be used in studios. Run on top, allowing users to experience the convenience of a new way of operation."

...

"Tang, I noticed that even the most basic model of the four-generation Fangyuan personal computer is priced close to 7,000 US dollars. What do you think. Compared to other cheaper products, including the second and third generations of the Fangyuan personal computer family, Do users have enough reasons to buy?"

...

"Of course, the performance of the fourth generation Fangyuan personal computer has improved several times over the previous generation. You can take the spreadsheet software as an example. On a 32-bit platform, the grid can process large spreadsheet files faster, and the accuracy of the data has been significantly improved. Definitely worth the money."

"The overall IT expenditure cost of an enterprise does not entirely depend on equipment purchases. The impact of daily maintenance cannot be ignored. We have developed a new network management software for this purpose. Commercial users will find that a new generation of four-generation Fangyuan personal computers is the terminal. The it solution will make their business processes smoother."

...

"Since you have so much confidence in the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer, when do you think it will replace the existing product?"

"I think it is necessary to correct your problem. You should say when the 32-bit personal computer platform will become the mainstream of the market."

"The rapid development of the computer industry in the past few years is obvious to all. I think. In about two years, it will become the mainstream of the market. The sooner users embrace this product, the more they can benefit from their work. "

...

"Tang, you have emphasized more than once that the four generations of Fangyuan personal computers will lay the cornerstone of the it application pattern in the next 20 years. The outside world has different interpretations of this. Can you formally explain the meaning of it?"

"I am very happy to explain this issue. As we all know, the 32-bit platform represented by ibm's mainframe and de's minicomputer va. It has always been high; the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer will send it to more users."

"In my opinion, the 32-bit personal computer platform can basically meet the space developers need to use their wisdom in the next 20 years. With this relatively stable foundation, you can put more energy on how to In developing more interesting applications, users will also experience more powerful functions in multimedia and networking."

...

"Tang, since you compare the same 32-bit ibm mainframe and de minicomputer, what do you think their products will perform in the market under the impact of 32-bit personal computers?"

"It's up to the user to decide, I don't count." Tang Huan replied playfully. He doesn't want to pull hatred too ostentatiously. If the competitors are dead or alive, it is up to consumers to vote with their feet.

It is not difficult to imagine that after the release of a heavyweight new product such as the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer, it will naturally trigger a series of chain reactions.

The most eye-catching is undoubtedly that the market value of ibm fell below 60 billion U.S. dollars. Its new CEO John Ax deliberately sold 20% of Intel shares to change the cash on the financial statements. Streaming data, but still did not escape the blow from the stock market.

This can only be blamed on ibm's own products for ineffectiveness. After launching system/360 in the 1960s, it monopolized the mainframe market; then it launched system/370 in the 1970s; but after entering the 1980s, there was no new successor. Appeared, only to patch up some new models.

Not to mention the threat from four generations of Fangyuan personal computers, the 32-bit minicomputer va released earlier by de is already eating away at this enterprise-level market.

It can only be said that the conservative genes in the bones of ibm can, of course, avoid market risks to the greatest extent, but they often become a stubborn force that drags on. In the original time and space, its slow response in the cloud computing era has once again confirmed this point.

Established companies such as Blue Giant have a very domineering profit model. After launching sufficiently leading products, they divide product lines and maintain profits and product cycles with tough methods, often degrading to a role that hinders progress in the end.

It is also under this hegemonic culture that there is a cultural soil for the birth of personal computers that represent individual liberation.

According to the inertial thinking of these established companies, Fangyuan Computer Company has been compressing the product cycle of personal computers to two years. Sooner or later, it will be unable to catch the ceiling, and even disrupt the high-end product lines such as Fangyuan Workstation and Fangyuan Server; 32 The fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer may be a key point of elbow and axillary transformation.

This kind of brand-new product can threaten competitors' 32-bit mainframes and minicomputers, but Fangyuan Computer’s Fangyuan workstations and Fangyuan servers can’t stand alone, right? See how you lift a rock and hit yourself in the foot!

As a result, the expected chaos in the world did not occur, and Fangyuan Computer's product line was still orderly from low-end to high-end, which attracted many people to use it as a business case for research.

In addition, Fangyuan Computer Company and other companies in the supply chain have obviously won the favor of investors.

For example, Motorola, which is also an established company, has benefited a lot from the pu business. Its 32-bit microprocessor m68000 series has become the most powerful microprocessor at this stage, including Fangyuan Personal Computer, Fangyuan Workstation, Sun Workstation, Apple The adoption of many products such as ma, game consoles, laser printers, etc., can be described as a mess.

In fact, Motorola’s glorious era has come. In addition to microprocessor products that thrive and become popular, the mobile communication products it has cultivated for many years have also come to fruition.

Intel sees this situation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Don't mention being jealous and anxious, but fortunately, its first 32-bit microprocessor, the intel80386, is also ready to launch.

With the vigorous market promotion of four generations of Fangyuan personal computers, Intel announced the release of this new product in July.

Tang Huan, the shareholder, also gave a lot of face, and let Fangyuan Computer Co., Ltd. cooperate to give the factory schedule for the fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer intel80386 branch model.

In fact, Intel’s current ability to manufacture intel80386 is very poor. The high-end pu with operating frequency above 20mhz required for the fourth-generation square-circle personal computer is basically from Tang Huan’s own semiconductor factories ab2 and ab3, as well as ab4 and ab5 under construction. produce.

Even if the production capacity is stretched, Intel still has the idea of ​​eating alone. Its CEO Andy Grove ran to Tang Huan to test whether it can abolish the second supplier's requirements.
