Chapter 452: 452

In the "old script", personal computers have been popularized all over the world. When it comes to business success and making a lot of money, people will first think of gates and jobs. Ross Perot also belongs to such successful people, but he started his business as early as the 1960s.

Ross Perot studied at the American Naval Academy. After completing his studies and service obligations here, he entered IBM as a salesperson and quickly grew into a top employee. It took only two weeks to complete the annual sales target.

With such excellent performance, Ross Perot took it for granted to start his own business. The opportunity he saw was that there was a huge gap between computers and users, which eventually led to extremely low computer efficiency.

This is not difficult to understand. For example, some grass-roots employees such as accountants in government institutions and large enterprises have entered middle age and have good business ability, but there are all kinds of difficulties that are difficult for computer engineers to understand if they want to use computers to input data and output statements.

Ross Perot founded the electronic data system company to provide information technology services, which can solve the above problems, further help the units that bought expensive computer systems, and fully release the efficiency of computer systems in the process of practical application.

With his resume at the US Naval Academy, Ross Perot's electronic data systems company obtained lucrative contracts from the US government and the military, such as computerization of medical insurance records.

Thanks to the rapid development momentum, within a few days after the electronic data systems company went public in 1968, its share price rose from $16 to $160. Therefore, in the cover report of Fortune magazine, Ross Perot was called a "fast, rich" Texan.

At present, electronic data system companies have won a large number of information technology service outsourcing contracts from high-quality customers such as Zhengfu, military, banks and insurance companies, with a revenue of US $200 million and no corporate debt.

Therefore, Gao Xian has no doubt about Ross Perot's ability to invest in Huanyu computer company, but Gao Xian should find out the motivation of Ross Perot's investment in Huanyu computer company.

When Ross Perot answered, he didn't hide anything. "I've fully understood both the personal computer industry and Huanyu personal computer."

"As far as Huanyu personal computer is concerned, I think it is a very expected office equipment, which can find a place in the information technology service solution of electronic data system company."

Gao Xian directly asked, "Perot, according to your idea, after you invest in Huanyu computer company, will you hope that Huanyu computer company will manufacture a product that can exchange data with existing mainframe and minicomputer systems, so as to facilitate the electronic data system company to provide customers with low-cost information technology service solutions?"

Ross Perot quickly waved his hand and clarified: "I will not interfere with the specific operation of Huanyu computer company. Whether Huanyu computer company has customized computer equipment for electronic data system company is not the main purpose of this investment. I am really optimistic about the value of Huanyu personal computer."

Gao Xian said with a smile, "so, how much do you plan to invest in Huanyu computer company?"

"I have studied the valuation report made by Goldman Sachs to Huanyu computer company in detail. If I can, I want to invest $20 million." Ross Perot asked Gao Xian in turn: "Sir Gao, can you tell me how Huanyu computer company plans to use this round of financing?"

"It is mainly R & D. for example, at this stage, Intel 8080 and Z80, the two most popular general-purpose microprocessors in the market, will launch the next generation - 16 bit general-purpose microprocessors." Gao Xian said, "in fact, the R & D of personal computers needs a large amount of technical reserves."

Ross Perot said curiously, "Sir Gao, can you answer another question for me? Why did Huanyu computer decide to support two microprocessors at the same time?"

"You know, there is unlikely to be a supply problem now, because manufacturers are complying with the second supplier system of the Ministry of defense. Whether Intel or ZILOG, they have authorized their products to other manufacturers to produce compatible products."

"Isn't sir Gao worried that with the further increase of sales of Huanyu computer company, Intel and ZILOG will quarrel because they are not satisfied with their share of the cake?"

Gao Xian was amused by Ross Perot's observation. "In short, microprocessors are not only used for personal computers, such as embedded systems; the application scenarios of Huanyu computers are not limited to homes and offices, but also factories."

"There are still many differences between ZILOG and Intel in microprocessor design concepts, which may not be obvious now. After ushering in the 16 bit microprocessor, ZILOG's unique design in power control, peripheral chip matching and so on will prove its value in the field of embedded systems."

……

The communication atmosphere between Gao Xian and Ross Perot can be described as equality and happiness. There is neither the condescending of investors nor the flattery of financiers, and extensive discussion has been carried out on the development of information technology industry.

In the final analysis, both sides have their own interests. Electronic data system company is not an ordinary person. It has joined the ranks of investors of Huanyu computer company, which has played a good beginning effect; Huanyu computer can give Ross Perot a huge return.

Next, Gao Xian led Ross Perot to visit the R & D Laboratory of Huanyu computer company in Silicon Valley. It is cooperating with the R & D Progress of the next generation of 16 bit microprocessors Intel's Intel 8086 and ZILOG's z8000 to develop the fourth generation of Huanyu personal computer based on 16 bit microprocessors.

Ross Perot repeatedly praised: "the product roadmap of Huanyu computer company is really ambitious."

Gao Xian pretended to be profound and said, "it's nothing. I expect that within ten years, 32-bit microprocessors and corresponding personal computers will come out, and their performance will be enough to embarrass today's mainframes."

Ross Perot thought, "if so, electronic data systems companies will also face no small challenges."

Gao Xian understands what Ross Perot means. The business of electronic data systems company starts with IBM mainframe. If this platform goes down, there will be no skin and no hair.

"You already have Huanyu computer company, which will naturally make the electronic data system company comfortable." Gao Xian laughed loudly.

……

After Ross Perot left with satisfaction, Zhou Wenyao told Gao Xian with a smile, "portk strongly demands that we stop fighting the lawsuit with Microsoft, the two sides settle, and they are responsible for the relevant litigation costs. Even the economic losses of Microsoft during this period can be compensated."

Gao Xian touched the beard on his chin. "Is it true that portk company is begging for mercy?"

"Don't beg for mercy." Zhou Wenyao couldn't help but say, "it's clearly the right to use Microsoft basic language compiler on Altair computer platform. How can it become the full right of Microsoft basic language compiler on all personal computer platforms using Intel 8080 microprocessor? There's no such fishing in troubled waters!"

"Portk company · now shows signs of becoming a laughing stock. It has acquired several computer companies, including Altair computer. It seems to be doing a big job in this industry. Naturally, it wants to protect its face."

"Ross Perot actively contacted and came to invest, which shows that the publicity effect of this lawsuit has worked." Gao Xian pondered: "forgive people and forgive people. What's Gates's attitude?"

"As long as they can keep the painstaking crystallization of Microsoft's basic language compiler, gates certainly doesn't want to create complications. The sooner they end the trouble, the better." Zhou Wenyao added: "by the way, gates, they want to move Microsoft from the east coast to the west coast. They should settle in their hometown Seattle."

At the beginning of the founding of Microsoft, Gates was still at Harvard University, and Paul Allen worked at Honeywell's branch in Boston. Naturally, the headquarters of Microsoft should accommodate the two founders.

"It seems that the patent extortion lawsuit of portk company · has given gates a great shock!" Gao Xian smiled. "Let them, maybe Microsoft moved to the hometown of gates and Allen, Seattle, and changed into a good feng shui."

……

With the settlement of the patent dispute between portk and Microsoft, the heated media hype came to an end.

However, the social attention gained by personal computers did not fade so quickly, and then the saying of "three carriages" in the personal computer industry spread.

Among the so-called "three carriages", Huanyu Computer Co., Ltd. naturally tops the list, and kangmaoda Co., Ltd. ranks second. As for the third place, it is somewhat unexpected. It is not the famous portk company because of the lawsuit, but Apple computer company with a history of only one year.

Not to mention how affectionate portk, which bought several computer companies with a large amount of money but didn't even get a place, is. On the one hand, apple computer won this "honor", which reflects that the second-generation Apple computer designed by Wozniak has basically achieved a great success in the market.

It has to be said that the industry atmosphere in this era is very open.

Although both Huanyu computer company and kangmaoda company have integrated the supply chain of main parts of personal computers such as CPU and memory, especially kangmaoda company has acquired mostechnology, the R & D manufacturer of microprocessor mos6502 used by second-generation Apple computers, the second-generation Apple computers are still very weak due to the existence of the second supplier mechanism, It will not be stuck in the neck of parts procurement.

In Gao Xian's view, personal computers have begun to enter the golden age of eight personal computers. Even Big Macs in the computer industry such as IBM should have ripples.
