To Gawain's surprise, things didn't go any further for the worse.

Although there was such an unfortunate thing in front of the booth, it did not affect the popularity of the booth at all.

On the contrary, after some fermentation, the incident was like an alternative advertisement, forming a siphon effect. Attracting a large number of people to the Las Vegas Festival Exhibition Hall to stop in front of the booth of Tenglong Company, the flow of people is several times higher than before.

Just when Gawain was busy, a middle-aged man who looked like an assistant carrying a large box came to him, handed him a business card, and introduced himself:

"Mr. Gao, I'm Bell, the president of Angel Company, and we have a million-dollar business to discuss with you in detail, I don't know if you would like to give you a face and drink a cup of coffee. ”

When Gao Wen heard that it was a million-dollar order, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. But then he took a deep breath without a trace, and calmed himself down more and more. This is his habit, he must be calm when encountering major events, and he must not be blinded by momentary interests, or shocked by momentary evils.

He looked at Bell silently before squinting and smiling:

"Of course, that's a great piece of advice. ”

After saying that, the two of them moved out of the exhibition hall and sat down in a café next to the exhibition hall.

After ordering coffee, Gawain asked:

"Mr. Bell, can you take the liberty of asking, how much assets are registered in your Angel company?"

Mr. Bell was not concerned about Gawain's abrupt question. Thinking about it from another perspective, if he were Gawain, he would also have a distrustful attitude towards Angel, a rookie company that was established less than a year ago, and threw out millions of orders.

"Mr. Gao, we can use a series of ways to protect your company's rights and interests, such as signing a contract, paying a deposit, and settling the goods on delivery. ”

Seeing Bell say this, what else could Gawain say, he immediately shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said:

"That's a question I didn't ask. ”

At this time, Bell waved to the assistant behind him, and the assistant immediately stepped forward with the large box in his hand.

"Mr. Gao, I'll show you something first. ”

Even before Bell spoke, his assistant had quickly presented the contents of the box to Gawain.

Gao Wen looked at the familiar host in front of him, with the unfamiliar display screen, and couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

"Personal PC...... No, how can it be our Tamron home computer?"

Bell smiled: "Yes, its host is the Tamron FC we bought this morning." I just made a slight change to it, swapped out its original microprocessor for the latest 8086 processor, and added a display to it. ”

Gawain immediately understood Bell's intentions, and immediately shook his head and said:

"But I'm not interested in getting into the PC space at the moment. ”

"But we are interested, so we would like to ask Mr. Gao, are you interested in changing the Tamron FC a little bit and replacing it with an 8086 processor and selling it as a personal PC?"

Gawain immediately asked Bell: "If there is, I would have entered the personal PC industry a long time ago, do you still have to wait for Mr. Bell to persuade you?"

A hint of joy flashed across Bell's face, and he immediately put on a look of regret.

"Unfortunately, although the C80 processor is good, the process technology is only 10 microns, and the clock frequency barely reaches 4.2MHz. Even the Z80, which was designed in 1976 and clocked at 8MHz, is not as good as the 8086 chip, which uses the latest process technology and can clock at 10MHz. At best, it can only be compared to the first generation 8086 processor that was first introduced in 1978 with a 5-micron process and a clock frequency of up to 4.77MHz.

It may be enough to use it as a CPU for a game console, but it is very reluctant to use it as a CPU for a personal PC. ”

Gawain shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself:

"People are self-aware, I know how many pounds and taels I have, so I still don't wade into the muddy waters of personal PCs, and it's better to be my entertainment host. ”

"Does Mr. Gao know the performance of the personal PC in front of me?

Thanks to the excellent performance of the Chilong operating system developed by Mr. Gao, the performance of this personal PC with the latest generation of 8086 processor is almost twice that of personal PCs with similar hardware configurations on the market.

Don't you think it's an incredible thing?"

In the face of Bell's praise, Gawain said truthfully:

"However, the Chilong operating system does not have a perfect software ecology at present, and even if it is excellent, it is difficult to get the unanimous recognition of users for a while. ”

In this regard, Bell said with confidence:

"No, as long as Mr. Gao is willing to cooperate with our angel company, I believe that it will soon have a relatively complete ecology. What's more, the Red Dragon operating system is not without its own special advantages. ”

When Gawain heard this, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Special advantages?"

According to the analysis of the software engineer of our Angel company, in fact, the core basic software of Mr. Gao's current Tenglong home computer is also developed from the Chilong operating system. This means that the game software that can be used on the Tamron home computer can actually be used on other personal PCs with the Red Dragon operating system installed. ”

Gawain smiled knowingly, and had to admire Bell's discernment, and suddenly realized:

"That's what Mr. Bell said. ”

Bell talks about his perception of his personal PC operating system:

"Although the software ecology of the Chilong operating system is not perfect, there is the most software support for office and entertainment, which are the two categories of general computer users, and you don't have to worry that ordinary computer users will not buy it, there will always be many people who go to the rich game applications of the Chilong operating system. ”

Bell got to this point, and Gawain simply asked straight to the point:

"So what does Mr. Bell need me to do?"

"Develop a personal PC host in accordance with the compatible machine standards published by IBM. ”

"I'm sorry, I told you, we're not ready to enter the personal PC space just yet. ”

"This belongs to our Angel company entrusted by your company to develop and produce on behalf of you, and when the time comes, it will be labeled with the logo of our Angel company. ”

"Let's do the OEM?"

"OEM is a very apt word. ”

"However, the Batumi agreement restricts the flow of high-performance chips such as 8086 into China. ”

"You can put the assembly site in Xiangjiang, where the labor is relatively inexpensive. ”

"What about the price?"

"$400 a mainframe, CPU provided by us. ”

"No, we still need to make technical changes according to the compatibility machine standard released by IBM, so we need at least $600 per machine. ”

"$600 is too expensive, and all the hardware except for the processor just needs to be fine-tuned on top of the Tamron FC. ”

"But it also has an extra monitor. ”

......

In the end, after some fierce bargaining, the factory price of a personal PC was fixed at $500 per PC, provided that the processor was provided by Angel.

Bell calculated in his heart, seeing that such a personal PC with much stronger performance than IBM's latest personal PC, together with the processor, the total cost of the inner bottom has been compressed to about 600 US dollars, if it is sold according to the price of IBM's latest personal PC, the profit will be more than 100 percent, and he can't help but be very satisfied, and immediately clapped his decision:

"Then it's decided! I have drawn up a contract for a total of 1 million orders, which will be shipped in 10 installments in the next year, and if the sales situation is good, I will add it according to the situation.

You look at the contract, and if it's okay, sign it. ”

Gawain was very cautious, took the contract and read it by himself first, and after making sure that it was generally fine, he did not rush to sign the contract, but said to Bell:

"I have to ask my lawyer to look at the contract. ”

In this regard, Bell smiled slightly and nodded in understanding:

"It's also right to be cautious. ”

Gawain immediately stretched out his hand and shook Bell warmly.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation in the future!"

Bell also said enthusiastically: "Happy cooperation!"

After speaking, he suddenly smiled mysteriously and said to Gao Wen:

"Mr. Gao, in order to show our sincerity, I will have a big gift tomorrow. ”

"Oh!" Gawain's eyes lit up when he heard it, "It sounds really exciting." ”
