Chapter 772: The bigwigs in the industry gathered

Liu Lang specially asked who these people were, and heard several familiar names, including Mr. Wan An, the boss of Wan'an, John Eks, the president of IBM, Steve Jobs, the founder of NeXT Software, Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, and Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel Software.

Even if Liu Lang didn't know much about computers in his previous life, he had heard of the names of four of these five people, so Wan An naturally didn't need to say it, he would definitely come to cheer in person.

Not to mention Jobs, his Apple mobile phone will change the world in 20 years, but in recent years he has been doing things badly, two years ago he was kicked out of the Apple company he created, and then established a NeXT software company, according to the normal historical development, he will spend 10 million US dollars to buy Lucas's industrial light and magic company, but in this life Liu Lang is the first to appear, industrial light and magic has become part of the Shengtang company, I don't know what impact this change will have on Jobs in the future, whether he can still become the one who changes the world" Qiao gang leader", Liu Lang won't care about it anyway.

That Bill Gates is more famous than Jobs, occupying the position of the world's richest man for many years, if Apple has changed the whole world with smartphones, then his Windows software has also done this, but that was in the previous life, in this life his achievements may not be so high, because his achievements are built on the basis of the decline of VIE and IBM, but now VIE's PS system is in the limelight, completely suppressing his ORD word processing software, there is such a mountain on his head, whether he can carry it is not certain.

In the previous life, their chip technology was the world's first, if a computer did not install Intel's software, then the computer would never be sold, they and Microsoft joined forces to build the whole world into the world they wanted, and the impact on the world was immeasurable, but in this life, Wanan Company did everything, and the powerful function of the "Pentium 3" chip has always suppressed Intel, and that Gordon Moore is the famous "Moore's Law". But you put forward "Moore's Law" does not mean that you are the top master in this industry, even if you are a master, your business may not be the top, at least in this life.

Liu Lang almost laughed out loud when he heard this list, in addition to VIE Company, IBM, Microsoft, Intel and Jobs are all their enemies, VIE Company is the bitter master of the three companies, and Jobs's road was blocked by Liu Lang, they are unlucky in this life, I am afraid there will be no more scenery in the previous life.

Of course, these companies are now also representatives of emerging industries in the United States, and the U.S. government attaches great importance to them, and Wilson, as one of the most famous economists in the country, also knows them, but it is just an acquaintance, that is, an invitation, whether the other party can respond or not, dare not say, if they don't come, Liu Lang can only stand alone on the scene.

Ten days later, the signing of "Digital Survival" was held in the New York library, the scale was not large, more than 50 people came, but half of them were reporters, more than 20 people, but most of them were reporters from the entertainment station, they were very curious, an entertainment tycoon who was rising in Hollywood actually crossed over to another industry to write books, and no one could understand what he wrote, what was he going to do?

This was a bit embarrassing for Professor Wilson, but it was an alternative form of publicity.

But there was still one thing that surprised Professor Wilson, that is, he saw Wan An, Jobs, Bill Gates, and Gordon Moore among more than 60 friends who came to cheer on him.

In fact, this time Wilson also invited some friends, most of whom are experts in the field of economics, about a dozen people, but their understanding of the book "Digital Survival" is similar to that of Professor Wilson, and they are all confused.

Because of this, Wilson didn't invite more people, no matter how famous he was, it was impossible to force people to come, and people came to cheer more for Wilson's face, if ordinary friends invited, basically no one paid attention: Damn, what is this written .........?

Now, several "bigwigs" in the computer industry appeared at this signing party, which was really unexpected by Wilson, and his face should not be enough for these people to come all the way, the only reason is that Liu Lang's book has played a role.

Don't......... Is this book really that amazing?

Wilson had some anticipation in his heart at this point.

Liu Lang also saw these "big guys", no, the only big guy among them is Wan An, and the others are just rookies.

To say that they are rookies is not to disparage, Jobs, who was once famous when he founded Apple, was known as the man who "changed the industry", and he had the best hope of breaking the monopoly of the two computer companies VIE and IBM in the United States, although this monopoly was only a market size of 10,000 computers.

From Apple's listing in 80 to today, eight years later, at its peak, there were always companies with a market value of $200 million and now there are less than $100 million left, which is still in the case of the popularization of the personal computer business last year, or 70 million is not necessarily, even if the market is good, but Jobs himself angered the entire board of directors as early as two years ago because of unqualified emotional intelligence, and as a result, he, the founder of the company, was the first to be fired from Apple, becoming a lonely man who betrayed his relatives.

Bill Gates and Moore are better, at least there are no problems with their respective companies, but the phrase "becoming famous as soon as possible" is obviously not suitable for them anymore, with the mountain of Wanan pressing on their heads, it will be difficult for the two companies to get ahead.

In this era, the entire United States and even the whole world can understand the content of the book a little, but Liu Lang believes that they can only understand it slightly, and the limitations of the times play a role in them.

You must know that in the previous life, this book only officially appeared in 94 years, and it attracted widespread attention after it appeared, because at that time, the concept of the Internet had appeared in the United States, and the terms "informatization" and "digitization" began to gradually appear in newspapers.

That was in '94, and now it's '88, seven years earlier, and the Internet is still in the lab, and it's still called ARPA.com, and the word "Internet" hasn't officially appeared, no, it's already there, it's in the book "Digital Survival".

In an era when even a unique vocabulary is not known, Liu Lang came out of nowhere and proposed a view of time based on it, which cannot be said to be a prophecy, but should be classified into the category of fantasy, which is why Professor Wilson and Liu Lang worked together very happily before, otherwise he would not have published this book.
