Chen Geng's computer hypermarkets throughout the United States have not only made countless computer companies of all sizes around the world flock to and be proud to be able to enter the computer hypermarket, but the sales data of each company regularly published by the supermarket has also become a barometer to measure the performance of each company, which is directly linked to the stock market performance of these companies.

On the day of the launch of Windows 2.0, Chen Geng went directly to the supermarket in Los Angeles to observe the sales of Windows 2.0.

Like the domestic computer hypermarket before 2010, driven by the computer hypermarket, the whole street is bustling and crowded......

Although the data research company is the No.1 in the microcomputer market, but when it comes to comprehensive strength, the "blue giant" IBM is the real wealth, IBM's booth covering an area of more than 160 square meters is facing the entrance of the store, Chen Geng raised his eyes, IBM's booth has pulled out a banner: the company's full range of products have been perfectly upgraded to Windows 2.0 operating system.

Well, this is not IBM itself, but on the hypermarket side...... In fact, it is Chen Geng himself...... It is strongly requested that all sellers of microcomputers in the store must hang a banner that their computers have been perfectly upgraded to Windows 2.0.

You ask what if you don't hang a banner, is it possible to remove the other party's booth?

Of course, it is impossible to remove the booth, everyone is a law-abiding person, of course, it is impossible to violate the contract, but for even a super giant like IBM, the microcomputer products and other ancillary equipment sold through the supermarket have accounted for more than 40% of their total shipments of this type of product, and for an emerging giant like HP, the products sold through the supermarket account for more than 80% of their total shipments, so when the store said" After the expiration of the contract, we will carefully consider whether to renew the contract", all sellers obediently said that the operating system of their products will only use Windows 2.0 from now on......

So all the large and small companies in the supermarket have hung up the banner of "all the company's computer products have been perfectly upgraded to the Windows 2.0 operating system" - well, the banner is given free of charge by the store, and the seller does not need to spend money, which is more conscience than the domestic store, and the domestic store is changed, so a banner will charge you a few thousand dollars.

Looking at the crowd in the IBM booth, Chen Geng wisely did not squeeze in...... Anyway, when IBM was adapting to the Windows 2.0 system, he had already experienced it...... His eyes swept around the store, and then, Chen Geng strode inside.

"Hey, buddy, how about this Windows 2.0 system?" Chen Geng asked a user who was experiencing the Windows 2.0 system in front of the booth of a small seller of Bill Computer Company, a famous examination school.

The guy who was experiencing the new system glanced back and saw that it was a young man dressed as a white-collar worker, and he immediately didn't care, thinking that he was a person who was ready to buy a computer like himself, so he said to Chen Geng absentmindedly while operating the mouse quickly: "Yes, very good, much easier to use than the previous 1.0." ”

"Really?" Chen Geng took a step forward: "Is it really as good as the media says?"

"Well, I think it's better than what the media says," this guy was very enthusiastic, and immediately switched back to the main interface, pointed to the main interface and said to Chen Geng: "Look at this system interface, is it much better than the previous 1.0 era?"

That's right!

In the Windows 1.0 era, limited by the hardware performance of the computer, although there is also "My Computer" and so on desktop icons, but in order to reduce the occupation of system resources as much as possible, all desktop icons are the same, that is, the appearance of a folder, or gray, but as the computers on the market gradually began to use 80286 chips, some have even adopted more advanced 80386, and with a graphics card, compared with a few years ago, the graphics display ability of the computer has been enhanced several times, to Windows In the 2.0 era, not only have all the desktop icons been optimized separately, but also changed to color.

Chen Geng was very newcomer and nodded again and again: "Mmmm...... It looks much better than Windows 1.0...... Does that Outlook still work? I see you just used it to send an email. ”

"It's easy to use, it's so easy to use," as soon as he talked about the Outlook function, the guy suddenly danced with his eyebrows: "With this Outlook email, I can communicate with the company's overseas colleagues in the future, and this Outlook email also has the 'new arrival email reminder' function...... Alas, you see, this is not, it has already come......"

Chen Geng turned his head, no, on the "New Email" of Outlook that was being opened, there was a bold prompt of "New Arrival Email 1", which meant that there was a new email.

Before Chen Geng could speak, the owner of the shop was a little impatient: "Sir, you have been experiencing it for half an hour, may I ask, have you thought about it?"

"I ...... I ......"

The dude's face was red and white, and it was clear that the price of $2,688 on the computer gave him a toothache.

But before the buddy could speak, the boss said to Chen Geng with a smile on his face: "Sir, we also have a machine with Windows 2.0 installed here, you can experience it...... I'm telling you, Windows 2.0 doesn't look like a product of its era compared to 1.0, and oh my God, I've never seen an operating system as user-friendly and user-friendly as Windows 2.0......"

It's no wonder that this boss didn't recognize Chen Genglai, after all, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, Asians look about the same - then again, who would have thought that the big boss of the store would be so leisurely, and come to the store to observe the sales of Windows 2.0 in person after dressing up?

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

The whole store turned around, and Chen Geng was completely relieved.

Both sellers and users have a very high evaluation of Windows 2.0, believing that Windows 2.0 has made great progress and improvement over Windows 1.0, and they are very happy to use this new operating system.

Some former Windows 1.0 users complained about why Data Research didn't launch Windows 2.0 sooner, and they would have preferred to wait if they knew that Data Research would launch Windows 2.0 so soon......

In order to grasp the first-hand sales figures, Chen Geng specially greeted the stores and summarized the sales of the Windows 2.0 system on the first day as soon as possible, and the final figures on the afternoon of the second day made Chen Geng dumbfounded: more than 60 stores in the United States, a total of 42,174 sets of Windows 2.0 were sold.
