Wang An saw that Gao Wen was hesitating, and immediately took the initiative to make concessions:

"I don't ask you to open source to us, we just need to get the same treatment as Angel. In addition, if you license the instruction set and architecture of the C80 to Wang An Computer, I am willing to give you 10% of the shares of Wang An Computer. ”

According to the current market value of Wang An's computer of nearly 5 billion US dollars, 10% of the shares are nearly 500 million US dollars, which is almost twice the current foreign exchange reserves of China.

But in the face of such a huge temptation, Gawain still hesitated. He feared that Wang An's computer would go bankrupt as it had in its old trajectory, and that if Wang An's computer, which had the C80 instruction set license, was bought by his ill-intentioned competitors, he would not be digging his own hole and jumping on his own.

For Gawain, money is always inexhaustible, and if he loses his meal because he covets $500 million in stocks, it really outweighs the loss.

However, he did not refuse, but sensed Wang An's intention from the fact that Wang An did not hesitate to give up the equity of Wang An's computer that he had always cherished to get the authorization of the C80 instruction set.

He pondered for a long time before he spoke tentatively:

"Seniors want to make Wang An's computer transformation?"

Wang An nodded and generously admitted:

"Not bad. After all, now everyone can see that with the continuous improvement of personal PC performance, it is only a matter of time before the main word processing machine of our Wang An Computer is replaced by a personal PC.

Originally, I thought that there would be a process of this replacement, and it would last for ten years. But with the launch of your office type Tamron FC, many of my old users are more and more inclined to replace our Wang An typewriter with a cheaper and more feature-rich office type than our Wang An typewriter, and I realize that my prediction is still too optimistic.

This process will be shortened to 5 years or less. If we Wang An Computer have not completed the transformation before this, then we will die without a place to bury. ”

Gawain didn't expect that it was his own chaos that set off a butterfly effect, so that Wang An Computer and its founder, who were originally immersed in the brilliance created by their own Wang An typewriter, were forced to embark on the road of transformation before they had time to be complacent about their achievements.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. ”

After listening to what Wang An said, knowing that Wang An's computer transformation was caused by himself, Gao Wen immediately apologized to Wang An very sincerely. But for some reason, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. It's not that Gawain gloating, but that he's glad that the butterfly effect he has set off has made Wang An's computer have signs of changing for the better.

As a result, he even came up with a bolder idea, if he can participate in the transformation of Wang An's computer, can he change the existing fate of Wang An's computer.

Just when Gao Wen's mind was turning, Dr. Wang An faced Gao Wen's apology, not only did not blame, but generously comforted:

"It's not your fault, and I can't blame you, it's technological progress. Even if there is no Tenglong FC today, there will be other FC or PC in the future to replace the current market position of our Wang An typewriter and completely eliminate us. On the contrary, I would like to thank you for waking us up early so that we could seize this valuable opportunity for transformation......"

Hearing Wang An's heartfelt words, Gao Wen also treated him sincerely and suggested pertinently:

"Senior, in fact, you have a better choice. With the strength and heritage of Wang An Computer, if you want to transform into a personal PC manufacturer, you can become an IBM compatible computer manufacturer.

After all, IBM implements an open and standardized policy, which makes their computers compatible with most devices and software on the market.

At present, under such a policy, a complete industrial chain from software to hardware has been formed around the production of IBM compatible machines.

With the strength of Wang An Computer, investing in it will definitely be a great success. ”

Unexpectedly, Wang An shook his head stubbornly, and said with a bitter smile:

"You don't understand the feud between Wang An's computer and IBM. Even if we can put it down, IBM may not be able to accommodate us.

Besides, I also believe in the potential behind the combination of the C80 and the Red Dragon operating system. If my Chinese engineers are right, the chip instructions of the C80 are written in Chinese assembly language!

Although the C80 processor looks no different from the 8086 processor and Z80 processor that use English assembly language, and the high-level languages used are the current very popular BASIC programming language and C language, in fact, this is all the credit of the compiler.

You have deliberately designed this special compiler to translate English-based computer high-level languages into Chinese assembly language, and then through the assembly compiler to translate these Chinese assembly languages into binary numeric code that machines can understand.

If I'm not mistaken, you must have a high-level Chinese language that matches the C80 processor better than the BASIC programming language, C language, and other high-level English computer languages.

With such a high-level language of Chinese computer that is easy for Chinese to learn, with the potential of China's 1 billion people, it is not a dream to build a complete ecological chain outside of the IBM compatible machine ecosystem. ”

Gao Wen was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that his hidden plan would be seen through by Wang An.

However, he quickly calmed down, and the conversation changed gear, and he talked about something that had nothing to do with the current discussion.

"The predecessors probably also learned from angel that we would rather work for angel than get involved in the field of personal PC production. ”

The implication of Gawain's words is to say that he knows that the water of the personal PC industry is very deep, and he is an outsider outside the United States, so it is better to dig deep and accumulate grain and slowly call him king.

After Wang An understood, he smiled, straightened his chest slightly, and said to Gao Wen in his chest:

"That's because you haven't found a strong partner.

To be honest, I'm very optimistic about the C80 processor you designed. In terms of instruction set and architecture design alone, it's not an exaggeration to call it ingenious.

If it weren't for the C80 processor you are producing now using a 10-micron process technology, but a 3-micron process like Intel's latest generation of 8086 chips, I'm afraid that Intel's 8086 processor wouldn't even be worthy of lifting shoes for the C80 processor. ”

Compared with Intel's disdain for the C80 processor, Wang Anke gave an in-depth analysis of the C80 processor in the laboratory.

"The seniors praised it falsely!"

Gao Wen sighed and smiled helplessly,

"My family knows about my own family, and the current situation of China's semiconductor industry is there, although there is a fairly complete semiconductor industry chain, but on the whole it is very backward.

So far, the best and most mature process technology is only the 10-micron process technology, and the 5-micron process technology is still in the final stage of overcoming. Compared with the top foreign process technology, it has lagged behind by two generations.

No matter how good the design of our C80 processor is, what's the use, it's not a clever woman who can't cook without rice. ”

Wang An squeezed his eyes mischievously and said:

"You are a clever woman, it is difficult to cook without rice, but our Wang An computer has no such worries. If you can license the instruction set and architecture of the C80 processor to us, we can use the developed semiconductor industry in the United States to maximize the performance of the C80 processor. ”

Speaking of this, Wang An paused for a moment, then became serious again, and persuaded Gao Wendao:

"Besides, it's not a matter for you to hide like this, one day you will still be discovered, and you will face strangulation when the time comes.

I know you need time to develop now, and you want to dig deep and accumulate food to become king. Instead of passively waiting, it is better to choose to cooperate with our Wang An computer.

At the very least, my company and I can shelter you from the wind and rain until you grow up. ”

Wang An's promise couldn't help but make Gao Wen's heart move, and he couldn't help but confide in his heart:

"Do you know why I'm so hesitant to license the C80 instruction set to your company?"

Wang An smiled confidently when he heard this, and couldn't help but joke:

"Are you afraid that your products are too good and will be coveted by our Wang An computer, so that you will occupy the magpie's nest?"

Gawain shook his head and said:

"No, I'm afraid that Wang An's computer will fail, and then our C80 instruction set will fall into the hands of our opponents and become the Achilles heel of our Kowloon Group. ”

Wang An couldn't help but laugh when he heard Gao Wen's words:

"Failure? It's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life. ”

"Senior, this is not a joke. ”

Gao Wen reminded Wang Andao very seriously,

"Do you know where you are now?

Wang An Computer is single-handedly competing against the compatible machine industry alliance formed by most of the American computer industry led by IBM.

Don't you think it's not optimistic about this situation?"

Wang An didn't take Gao Wen's words to heart at all, but felt that Gao Wen had other plans, and immediately smiled at Gao Wen with a playful smile:

"It looks like you're playing a big game. ”

Seeing Wang An like this, where can Gao Wen still be at ease.

"I'm sorry, Senpai.

I can only license the architecture of the C80 and subsequent C80 series chips to you at a friendly price, but not the C80 instruction set. Unless......."
