So Ono, who had been silent, suddenly bowed to Gao Wenyi at this moment, and asked politely:

"Mr. Gao, I don't know if you are interested in selling the source code of the Chilong operating system, we are willing to buy it at a high price. ”

"This..."

Gawain couldn't help but look embarrassed.

At this time, of course, he was a hundred unhappy in his heart, after all, the Red Dragon Operating System was related to his ongoing mission, how could he easily let people meddle in it and interfere with the progress of his mission.

Besides, he has formulated the best plan for the promotion of the Red Dragon operating system. We are ready to emulate the free and open source operation model of Linux, so that the Red Dragon operating system can be promoted to the maximum extent in the shortest possible time.

Ono thought that Gao Wen was waiting for the price to sell, and immediately opened a heart-warming price: "We are willing to pay $5 million to buy the source code in your hand." ”

Gao Wen shook his head and said perfunctorily: "The Chilong operating system is a unique gift of our Hanka, if it is without this unique giveaway, the sales of our Hanka will be greatly affected, so I can only regret to tell you that the Chilong operating system is not for sale to me." ”

Ono glanced Gao Wen up and down, and decided that he was not greedy enough, so he quoted a sky-high price again: "10 million US dollars, we are willing to pay 10 million US dollars to buy the source code of the Red Dragon operating system in Mr. Gao's hand, and ask Mr. Gao to think about it." ”

However, to Ono's surprise, Gawain was still not impressed, but chose to refuse again.

This time, Sakamura couldn't help but be anxious.

"Mr. Gao, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to me, okay?"

Gao Wen looked at Sakamura: "I want to hear about it." ”

Sakamura immediately showed affection and reason to Gao Wenxiao, and wanted to impress Gao Wen with a great vision.

"I have always believed that computer operating systems should make computers more friendly and open, so that we can obtain information as conveniently, easily and cheaply as water and air, rather than DOS operating systems that are not only closed, have a high barrier to entry for users, but also have a high price.

That's why I've always had a desire to make basic software like computer operating systems, the platform for all software, the foundation of the information society, as cheap and accessible as water and air.

That's why I came up with a project called 'TRON', which from the very beginning was intended to develop a free, open computer operating system......"

Hearing the 'TRON' plan, Gao Wen was immediately stunned, and then he reacted that this Ban Village is Biban Village.

He experienced the 'Huawei incident' before the crossing, even if he didn't deliberately understand the 'TRON' plan. However, the 'TRON' plan, after Huawei revealed the HarmonyOS operating system, was taken out on the Internet as a lesson from the past, and Huawei's HarmonyOS was compared and analyzed.

According to the Internet, if the United States had not presented the "Super 301 Act" back then, Bill Gates, who once dominated the world's richest man, might have been buried in the name of a Fuso scholar named Sakamura.

When it comes to the old story related to the 'TRON' project, it has to start with the advent of computers.

At that time, personal PCs could only run DOS systems, and the excessively high threshold has always restricted the marketization and popularization of personal PCs. In the era of MS-DOS, every operation of the computer had to be commanded. What can be done with a mouse action now can only be achieved by typing a few English command words at that time.

So, seeing that DOS was so difficult to use, Sakamura, an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo, Fuso, wrote a 300-page specification for a PC system called "TRON" on his own with his enthusiasm for "computers can be used better".

Later, at an international conference on microcomputer applications in Tokyo, Sakamura unveiled the "TRON" system to the world for the first time. According to foreign media reports, more than 150 experts from all over the world witnessed the future possibilities of the Fuso "TRON" system.

At that time, Sakamura's philosophy for the TRON system was: "The basic software is the platform of the software, and it is the foundation of the information society, which should be like water and air." ”

And this concept is more recognized by international technical scholars than the Windows system promoted by Bill Gates of the United States. Because compared to the closed business alliance between Windows and Intel, TRON has taken the free and open route from the beginning.

At that time, the TRON system was somewhat similar to the later Linux operating system, and all the source code of "TRON" was freely available, so in terms of cost, security, and actual constructability, TRON would be better than Bill Gates's Windows solution once it became the world standard for computer systems.

Sakamura's concept of openness and win-win on TRON shook the entire global academic and technology business circle at that time.

As a result, several major motor manufacturers crossed over to the PC field and developed personal PCs with the TRON system together with Sakamura.

As a leader in this effort, Nidec was the first to announce the development of an ITRON system based on the ITRON/86 specification.

At that time, in order to develop the ITRON system, Nippon Electric Company even abandoned the development plan of the software computer system, which had already spent tens of millions of dollars at that time, and devoted all its energy to the development of "TRON". Thanks to the continuous efforts of Nippon Electric researchers, the first prototype of the "TRON" personal computer was completed in 1987.

At that time, the Windows Windows system had just been born, and the graphical interface was still in the stage of contention, and there was no unified standard.

However, at that time, the system controversy mainly occurred in the United States, and Fuso, because it had its own domestic operating system outside the United States, immediately caught the attention of the American media and became a hot news of the year.

Another background to the birth of the TRON system is that Fuso in the 80s has also taken the lead in the chip industry in the United States.

At that time, Fuso's chip industry accounted for nearly 80% of the world's DRAM (commonly known as computer memory) share at its peak, and technology startups such as Intel and AMD in Silicon Valley were chased and beaten by Fuso people in the field of semiconductor storage, and then they were overtaken and driven off the throne.

Therefore, in the face of Fuso's gradual independence in systems and chips, and seeing that Fuso's operating system industry, which is gradually detached from its own standards, is developing out of control, the business oligarchy and the federal government of the United States finally can't sit still.

Because on the eve of TRON's runaway control, Harwell, a lawyer in the American software industry, publicly warned: "Once TRON becomes the standard, the Fuso information industry will get rid of its dependence on the American software industry, and it will be difficult for the United States to enter the Fuso market again." ”

The flip side of the flip side of the current situation is that America's economic development has been hampered.

Since the early '80s, the United States has struggled with inflation at home.

With the implementation of the tightening policy, the dollar exchange rate began to soar, so money from all over the world began to concentrate on investing in the United States. The trade deficit in the U.S. market has increased due to a decline in exports and an increase in imports.

Although the United States has managed to control inflation through monetary tightening, the US government has accumulated a large deficit as the trade deficit has grown.

Therefore, in order to reduce the deficit and deficit, the United States began to engage in monetary easing again, but due to the decline in interest rates, the dollar began to become extremely unstable after the depreciation.

As a result, with the outbreak of the dollar crisis, American trade protectionism began to emerge, and the anti-Japanese trend also intensified, and "Japan bashing" became a high-frequency word among Americans.

Therefore, in 1989, in order to prevent the rise of Fuso's technology and the collapse of the dollar, the United States officially offered the "Super 301 Act" to Fuso, unilaterally setting up trade barriers to Fuso's "artificial satellites, supercomputers, TRON" and other goods.

At that time, the United States accused "TRON" of "TRON": "Trade barriers set up by the Fuso government. ”

However, as an open-source PC system, TRON is not profitable in itself. Therefore, before the "Super 301 Act" was issued, even IBM had already joined the TRON development camp.

Based on this fact, the United States' approach is tantamount to a "crime of desire" against the TRON system.

In fact, the truth of the ban issued by the United States on TRON that year was that all companies that used the TRON system would lose the fair treatment of the American market, so in the face of the intimidation of the market boss, these high-tech companies also intelligently "abandoned the dark and turned to the light" and "protected themselves".

But 1989 was also a special year for Fuso, because four years ago, the United States signed the Plaza Accord with Fuso on the grounds of "eliminating the trade deficit". The agreement stipulates joint intervention in the foreign exchange market to make the US dollar fall against major currencies such as the yen and the mark in an orderly manner to solve the huge trade deficit of the United States.

And this agreement, with the appreciation of the yen against the US dollar by nearly 200%, directly gave birth to the Fuso "bubble".

In 1987, when the United States repealed the Plaza Accord, the Fuso people, faced with the "new welfare" that their 1 yuan could be used as 2 yuan, not only stopped the development of the domestic real economy, but also habitually achieved "scientific and technological self-sufficiency" through import purchases.

And this purchasing power, with the implementation of the loose monetary policy of the Fuso government, has directly pushed the economic bubble of Fuso to a new height.

In fact, after 1986, with the signing of various unequal trade treaties between the United States and Fuso, unlike the fake economic prosperity, Fuso's chip industry really entered a downward slope with the implementation of high trade tariffs.

With the cold of Fuso's PC hardware and the inclusion of the TRON system in the Super 301 Act by the United States in 1989, the Nikkei Stock Average reached a maximum of 38,957.44 points on December 29 of that year, and Sakamura's TRON system completely lost its voice in the PC world.
