Before meeting Gary Kiridaire, Chen Geng was very curious, after seeing him, what would Gary Kiridaire talk to him? But no matter what Chen Geng thought, he didn't expect Gary Kiridaire's appearance to be so stylish: this guy came directly in a Cessna 172!

Looking at Gary Kiridaire with a sassy face, Chen Geng was speechless: You are not too tired.

After giving Chen Geng a strong hug, Gary Kiridale said to Chen Geng with envy: "Fernandez, you are really a lucky guy, you can work in a place with such a good view, do you know, now I don't know how many people in Silicon Valley envy you, I heard that many guys from IBM are planning to jump to you." ”

Chen Geng laughed when he heard this: "I don't care if the people from IBM come or not, but if you are willing to come, then I will be so happy...... Gary, have you seen those villas over there, as long as you come, you can choose. ”

Gary Kiridale thought seriously for almost half a minute before he said in surprise: "Fernandez, if I understand correctly, you are trying to poach me?"

"You can see this?" Chen Geng smiled and did not deny it.

"Do you know what the sales of the data research company were last year?" Looking at Chen Geng, Gary Kiridale said with a serious face: "More than 5 million US dollars! Do you know how much it costs to acquire a company with sales of more than 5 million US dollars?"

“......”

Chen Geng didn't speak, not because of the price, but because of ......

I'm just half-serious and half-joking, you can't be serious, right?

Although in a few months, Gary Kiridale and his data research company will be severely pitted by IBM and Gates, which directly leads to the end of the CP/M era and the advent of the MS-DOS era, but the current data research company is still the most prosperous era in the entire Silicon Valley, even if Gary Kiridale has lowered the price of the CP/M operating system to as low as $19 - you read that right, it's $19, not $190, not $99 - But his data research firm still made more than $5 million in sales last year.

To paraphrase a fashionable phrase a few years later, Gary Killidale is now fully financially free and can live his life as he pleases (for example, he can fly his own small plane directly to Chen Geng), and will he sell his company to himself?

"Hah...... I'm kidding you," Gary Kiridale reached out and hammered Chen Geng's shoulder: "Even if I wanted, Dorocy wouldn't agree." ”

Dorothy McAven, also known as Gary Kiridale's wife.

Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "I guess that's the case." ”

........................

Out of respect for Gary Kiridale, Chen Gengxian took him around the entire company, to Chen Geng's surprise, Gary Kiridale actually praised Garrett 2000's "free-range" company management style, especially when he saw that Chen Geng actually had masseurs, physiotherapists and a team of professional nurses, Gary Kiridale not only did not think that Chen Geng was wasting money by doing this, but his eyes lit up: "Fernandez, I think your method is amazing!" It's just a genius idea, everyone's work is so tiring, if there is a masseur who can help them relax, it is perfect! I decided that data research companies should also have professional masseurs...... I feel like these companies in Silicon Valley should have masseurs, which should be a standard perk in the computer industry......"

Sure enough, it's very Gary Kiridale's style!

Chen Geng had heard of Gary Kiridale's "nursery"-style company: whether it was Gary Kiridale himself, his wife, and his employees, they all dressed very casually in the company, and his data research company had no requirements for everyone's attire. If there is a person in a suit in a data research company, then he must be a customer who has come to visit the company.

After some visiting, the play meat finally came......

"Fernandez, I was amazed by your company's 'indos' system, I never thought that a computer operating system could do this, you know? When I first saw your 'indos' system, although I clearly knew that it was just a pseudo-operating system, in essence it was just shell software, but this did not affect it in the slightest because it was an epoch-making product that was enough to leave its name in the history of computer development. ”

"Thank you. Chen Geng nodded politely, he knew that Gary Kiridale would definitely have something to do next.

Sure enough, there is a following.

"But what I want to say is, Fernandez, I think the pricing of your 'indos' is really too high," looking at Chen Geng, Gary Kiridale said seriously: "Computer technology should be free and open source, but we need to eat, the company needs to make a profit, and the employees need to be paid to support themselves and their families, so I understand and support people in this industry to make money from computers, but I think the price you set for these products is too high." ”

Although Chen Geng does not support Gary Kiridale's views, as a god man who set the price of an operating system at $19, and as a god man who has supported open source and free computers all his life, Chen Geng has always admired Gary Kiridale.
