Chapter 668 Microsoft's Challenge
"Su, I decided to donate some money to Yuanxin and let you repair the eaves."
"Okay, bring it."
...
Even though Su Yuanshan personally delivered the umbrella to the door of the car, Gates still had his trouser legs wet by the heavy rain. You can imagine how heavy the rain was.
The two of them were joking while heading towards the office upstairs.
This time, Gates came to see Su Yuanshan as a private person, so naturally he didn't have to bother others.
Sitting on the sofa, Su Yuanshan made a cup of tea for Gates.
"How is the market reaction of win98 this time?" Su Yuanshan looked at Gates with a smile.
This time, Mr. Gates came here mainly to promote Windows 98, which was released this month. This version is no different from Win 98 in history, and it also has a pre-installed browser.
But what is different from win98 in history is that the browser has become ocss.
In order to promote the Internet industry, Gates convinced Carly to announce that the ocss browser is open source and free. Although today, Xinghai Browser can already use all functions without paying for free browsers from companies such as sun and ibm, due to historical issues, he still has been unable to make up his mind to announce it for free.
It was not until Gates and Carly had several negotiations that in order to continue the friendship and cooperation between the two sides, and to get Microsoft out of the suspicion of monopoly, Xinghai decided to open source the ocss browser and establish an open source community.
During the negotiations between the two sides, Su Yuanshan did not interfere throughout the whole process, but just said - browsers are the basic tools, and free is the general trend.
The effects of open source plus pre-installation are immediate and the benefits are obvious.
"It's not bad." Gates held the teacup and looked at the rain curtains that were gradually getting smaller outside the window and smiled: "Our stock price has risen a lot."
"Then congratulations."
Gates blinked: "Well, I finally brought back the fluctuations caused by you after you released the winos news."
"..." Su Yuanshan was speechless: "Winos is adapted to the streamlined instruction set, and it cannot form a competitive relationship with your Windows, okay... Are Wall Street all a bunch of idiots?"
"They are technically idiots, but their sense of smell is not." Gates smiled meaningfully: "Su, stop pretending, even Wall Street can understand the influence of Yuanxin. Do you still think you are a harmless little white rabbit?"
"hey-hey……"
Su Yuanshan touched his hair, then just got up and spread his hands: "Okay... Then as long as you support the yx architecture now, I can announce that the winos team will be disbanded on the spot."
“…”
"Look, you can't do it?" Su Yuanshan shrugged with a smile: "But... Bill, you should also understand that although I can decide many things. Sometimes, unless I cheat, I still cannot stop some things from moving in a certain direction."
Su Yuanshan said this sentence very vaguely, but Gates still understood it immediately.
Su Yuanshan's words mean that as the influence of the yx architecture becomes stronger and stronger, it is inevitable that the system to be matched with it will be born.
This is determined by both technology and the market. Even Su Yuanshan cannot violate the objective laws of the development of things.
Unless...as Su Yuanshan said, Microsoft will develop a system that supports yx architecture processors, and it must be a desktop operating system.
"Are you serious?" Gates looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile.
"certainly."
"That's good..."
"Wait!" Su Yuanshan suddenly realized that in addition to Windows 95 and 98, Microsoft also has a half-dead PDA system...
“Wince doesn’t count!”
Gates: "…"
Seeing that Gates was instantly defeated, Su Yuanshan burst into laughter.
Wince came out very early, a year earlier than Yos - but before that, she had been beaten by PALM in the PDA market and was half dead.
Of course, with Yos coming out of nowhere, Palm was beaten to the ground for teeth...
So much so that Su Yuanshan forgot that Microsoft had an unknown wince.
"Bill, you don't really want to use wince on your smartphone, right?"
"What? Do you still need your permission?" Gates asked back with a smile.
"..." Su Yuanshan rolled his eyes silently.
It seems that Gates is still the same Gates, and he is definitely unwilling to miss the mobile digital product field.
And what gave Su Yuanshan a little headache is that because his relationship with him is too close, Gates seems to be learning from Sony...
He wanted to touch the Yuanxin and cross the river!
Thinking of this, Su Yuanshan looked at Gates again and felt a little resentful.
This guy... obviously regarded Yuanxin's operating system as a big enemy, and was preparing to face Yuanxin head-on from the basis of the current Yuanxin system - Yos.
"Okay, I'll just think you're challenging Yos in advance."
Gates shook his head with a smile: "No, you are the ones first."
Su Yuanshan pouted: "...Who made you older than me?"
“…”
After quarreling for a while, the two of them laughed at the same time.
Yes, Su Yuanshan first secretly supported Linux, turned the Yuanxin distribution into a designated system for certain departments of the country, and then secretly created winos, intending to occupy the notebook market...
Now, Gates just took out wince, which had been neglected before.
Two days later.
Su Yuanshan appeared on time at the win98 press conference held by Microsoft in the software park, and took the stage with Gates, announcing that Yuanxin's upcoming next-generation processor will fully support the features of win98, and expressed great appreciation for win98.
As for the platform, I must have to pick up nice words specifically.
...
On July 3, in the showers for several days, Yuanxin held a monthly meeting under the leadership of Duan Yongping. Su Yuanshan attended the meeting more rarely - since Gao Xiaodi's team started sprinting into the architecture code-named polaris (Polaris), he has been busy. Basically, the company's meetings are not going if they can, and at most Wen Xiaoqian will be sent to make a record.
Even in the technical department meetings, he rarely attends, and most of them listen to reports.
At the meeting, Duan Yongping summarized the overall situation of various departments last month, and focused on the two concept products of Yuanxin and the situation of direct stores.
According to data, June is undoubtedly a month of Yuanxin’s harvest.
The yidoo concept phones sold 14,200, and the xbook laptops sold 4,300, and one-third of them were sold in direct sales stores.
At present, Yuanxin has only fifteen direct sales stores worldwide.
...
"According to the feedback from various departments, direct stores are a model worthy of vigorous promotion. Therefore, the focus of the marketing department and overseas business department in the second half of this year is to expand direct stores, and strive to reach about 100 stores worldwide by the end of the year."
After Duan Yongping made the summary, he looked at Su Yuanshan who had been frowning and contemplating: "Is there anything that the mountain can add to it?"
"Well, I'll say a few words."
Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and nodded.
He turned his head and looked at the drizzle outside the window, his brows frowned deeply.
"I don't know if you read yesterday's news. The news said that this year, various places have generally encountered large-scale high-intensity rainfall that is rare in history. Yesterday, the country has established a special flood control and flood control command center..."
Duan Yongping was stunned and then said, "Yes, my hometown is from Jiangxi. I heard from people in my hometown that the rain is very heavy this year, and the Yangtze River may flood... But Mr. Shan, what can we do?"
"I have already contacted my uncle. As long as we can get the supplies, we can transport them to the disaster area through their logistics system."
Su Yuanshan looked at everyone.
He knew that the rain now was just the beginning.
