It is not so much that Da Li and Cao Changchang are taking classes here, but rather that they are teaching on a voluntary basis.

Cao Changjiu didn't say anything, Da Li himself assembled a microcomputer, and the doors in it were all clear. The Cromemco microcomputer brought by Dr. Yu is based on Intel's 8085 as the cpu, but it is an upgraded version of the 8080, and it has not changed in terms of instructions or anything.

This Cromemco microcomputer seems to be simpler than the computer they assembled, because the 8085 integrates some peripheral circuits, saving a lot of third-party chips.

Da Li glanced inside and was convinced, this is nothing, it is similar to his own earthen cannon, and the programming or something is even more handy, so he volunteered to take on the task of teaching.

Of course, Dr. Yu couldn't ask for it, he couldn't take care of it alone, and he regretted that he didn't invite a professor from the United States, and he wished that someone would help him.

Now that he has completely gone from fishing to mentality, an inexplicable sense of accomplishment has bred in his heart. After all, with a relatively high goal, Yu Youcheng is busy, as if he has returned to the time when he started his business, and his heart is full of dreams.

The difference is that the mood of starting a business at the beginning was a bit impulsive and impetuous. After a series of blows, Yu Youcheng's mentality has matured a lot, and it is his current dream to start a business in order to make China rich and strong, so that the motherland's technology is no longer backward.

After handing over the teaching task to Da Li, Yu Youcheng had nothing to do, used his connections, and began to actively operate the next Hong Kong training class and Cao Changchang's going abroad.

Cao didn't have to think about this for a long time, he locked himself in the guest house, thinking hard about what software to write and export to make money.

It's 1979 and the hottest microcomputer is Apple's APPLEII, which is a platform. There are many other computers that use heterogeneous processors, but none of them are in the weather. PCs didn't come out until 1981, so don't think about it now.

Since you want to make money with software, of course, you have to choose the biggest one in the market, if you know that Apple will be popular but don't do it, wouldn't it be stupid.

Cao Changjiu himself also thought about making his own PC, but it was not easy to suppress this tempting idea, the success of the PC is not accidental, if it is not for IBM, an old big company, to do it, other people rashly release it may not be able to succeed.

Cao Chang calculated that even if he released the PC before IBM, even if the market was a big success, it would still be a small company within five years.

IBM is because of the popularity of the Apple machine to crash into the personal computer market, the old computer company is really extraordinary, advanced technology, open standards, appropriate marketing strategy, brand, have created the glory of the PC.

If a microcomputer is released for a long time, how should it face the predator of IBM? Will it compete with it?

No, the best outcome is to rely on performance to survive like Apple. Without capital, not to mention advertising, the production capacity of microprocessors alone can drag themselves to death.

The smartest way is to hitchhike, rely on those big pigs to arch the door, and your own little pig to seize the commanding heights that others can't see, so as to prepare for the later force.

Cao Chang made a plan, since the software is the mainstay, then 1981 is the watershed. IBM was unstoppable with the release of the PC in 1981, and before that the Mac was the de facto market standard.

Before 1981, Cao Changjiu decided to make some commercial software on the Mac, after all, the Mactoll made its fortune because of the big sales of tabulation and calculation software.

The modern business office is increasingly reliant on automation, and the Mac has followed this trend, and there is no financial director who is not unmoved by the sight of automatic calculations on the screen.

Historically, the hot sales of Apple phones are generally described as exaggerated,In fact, no one knows the difficulty of opening up the market,Even if it is a low-end price like Apple phone,It is still a big burden for families。

This is also the reason why Dr. Yu's own dream of home computers was shattered, he saw the wrong market, at that time the buyers of computers were commercial companies, universities, governments, research institutions, etc., catering to the tastes of these commercial users is the main research direction for a long time.

In the early stage, the company released software on the Mac platform to accumulate funds and technical talent reserves, accumulate popularity, and build a brand. In the later stage, these resources were used to break into the hot PC market in one fell swoop with the east wind of IBM, which is the king.

The plan was written to this point, Cao Chang stopped writing and read it again, and found no loopholes, with such development, if it goes well, at least he is already invincible.

This is probably the case in the international community, but what about the domestic one? My own intention is not to work for foreigners and let them occupy the market standard, but to strengthen the country.

First-class companies do standards, and so does the country, the old scalper-style development strategy is unacceptable, and it is beneficial to keep up with foreign countries, at least not to lose direction.

But in the long run, how can there be a direction at all, as long as you master the market, you are the direction, Intel's stuff is so rubbish, but no one can do him, compatibility is a big stick, can knock anyone who wants to challenge to death.

Z80 is an example, when the founder of the integrated circuit Feigan ran away because he was dissatisfied with the treatment of Intel company, he founded Zilog company, developed the z80 processor, amazing design, compatible with 8085, but the performance is higher, the market is hot, the old club Intel is crawling on the ground. Older people probably remember the Z80 processor, and the school teaching was basically based on it, which was the mainstream at that time.

However, Fagan was only a talented technician after all, and he saw the shortcomings of the Intel series of processors, which were not suitable for further development, so he decided to develop a new architecture, that is, the Z8000.

This is the sadness of high technology, without compatibility, the z8000 16-bit processor developed by Zilog is a piece of garbage, even if its performance is good, it is just a piece of garbage that is a little faster.

Zilog paid the price for this, and lost all the pants, so it could only rely on the z80 to eat the old money, and finally disappeared.

In view of this, Cao Changchang did not dare to compete with the PC rashly, people know that first-class companies do standards, but few people have heard the latter words, that is, if you want to harm a person, then let him create a new standard in the market!

Without war, the competition between countries seems to be calm, but the sinister is unparalleled, and unless you stand at the top of science and technology, second-rate countries can only suffer everywhere.

Computer technology is the foundation of the third technological revolution, Cao Changjiu is resolutely unwilling to follow the West, the previous large-scale computer era is backward, the microprocessor era has just begun, Cao Changjiu is at the right time, can not watch the good market fall into the hands of others, but what should be done?

The more Cao Changjiu thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and howl, Interna Xiongnel quickly realized it!
