When he woke up the next morning, Gawain knew what Bell was talking about. He found that the front pages of almost all major American newspapers were full of stories about his company and its products.

New York Daily: The next Atari or the next Apple? At yesterday's Las Vegas Festival Show, Tamron from the Mysterious East, won millions of orders in one fell swoop with its Tamron FC, which integrates games, entertainment and office......

(Note: In order to distinguish it from personal PCs, the American media used the abbreviation FC for family computer instead of home computers, and Tamron home computers will be referred to as Tamron FC in the future.)

Wall Street Times: Mysterious Oriental visitors point fingers at Atari, but Seagate is unfortunate to be hit. Yesterday, Seagate director Locke was so angry that he almost died after learning that the hard disk built into the Tamron FC was far superior to Seagate's products in terms of cost performance at the Las Vegas Festival Fair......

......

The American media, which is not a big deal, even compares Atari's home game consoles, personal PCs of well-known computer companies such as Apple and IBM with the Tamron FC.

Came to a conclusion that made the American people excited: that is, in terms of performance, the Atari home game console, whether it is game content or hardware quality, cannot catch up with the Tamron FC, and the price is that the lowest-end personal PC of Apple and IBM is almost twice that of the Tamron FC, and it is not as cheap as the Tamron FC at all.

So for video game fanatics who are looking for a high-quality gaming experience and don't care about the price, Tamron FC is a better choice than the Atari home game console.

And for those who are shy in their pockets and want to have a personal PC, the cheap Tamron FC is a relatively reasonable alternative, not worse than Apple, IBM's low-end personal PCs, the key is that the price is only half of them.

As a result, Tamron FC instantly became popular in the United States.

Even industry giants such as Intel, IBM, and Apple have also cast their attention on Tamron FC.

However, Intel lost interest in the Tamron FC when it discovered that the performance of the C80 processor built into the Tamron FC was not even two-thirds that of the Z80 launched by rival Zilog in 1976.

IBM and Apple, on the other hand, are not interested in the built-in 10M hard disk of the Tamron FC, but they are not interested in products such as the Tamron FC that can only exist as low-end personal PCs. After all, they have long begun to systematically abandon the production of low-end personal PCs and start to specialize in the more profitable mid-to-high-end personal PC business.

However, these were originally expected by Gawain, and it is also the reason why he has been reluctant to set foot in the personal PC field now, after all, obscene development is king.

In the blink of an eye, the three-day Las Vegas festival exhibition is also coming to an end.

After taking stock of the harvest during the festival exhibition, assistant Chu Nan excitedly reported good news to Gao Wen:

"Boss, we sent it! During the festival exhibition, we signed another 100,000 orders. ”

Gawain nodded, and instead of taking the conversation, he asked about an irrelevant matter.

"Do you know which hospital that Seagate director Locke lives in right now?"

Chu Nan couldn't help but wonder: "Boss, why don't you care about orders, but you care about a stranger." ”

Gao Wen patted Chu Nan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have done a very good job! ”

Shi died for his confidant, hearing this, Chu Nan choked up for a while and said what to say: "Boss......"

Gao Wen continued to cast an encouraging look at Chu Nan: "Do a good job, and I will reward you for your meritorious deeds when you go back." ”

Later, after asking Chu Nan which hospital Mingluo was staying in, Gao Wen first made an international call to Sha Ruian, who was far away in China.

On the phone, Gawain asked Sha Ruian straight to the point:

"Secretary Sha, there is a big deal with a short investment cycle and fast returns, are you willing to participate. I told you that I would like you to be my own. ”

"Xiao Gao, you and I can't believe it?! Just tell me what kind of business it is. ”

"Have you heard of the stock market?"

"Capitalist things, how have I never heard of them. ”

"I'm talking about business that's stock trading. I have inside information, and I will not pay for it. ”

"Are you sure the inside information is true?"

"I made this inside information, can it be true?"

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Stock trading requires US dollar foreign exchange, the more the better. ”

"But right now, I'm just scraping together more than $10 million. ”

"More than 10 million is more than 10 million, and I will use ten times the leverage for you at that time. ”

......

After discussing with Shariam, Gawain took the flowers he bought and went to visit Locke, who was in the hospital.

As soon as they met, Gawain took the initiative to apologize to Locke:

"Mr. Locke, I'm really sorry to come to see you so late. ”

When Kellock saw Gawain, he was very excited.

"You're here to see my jokes!"

Gawain hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, I really ......"

Locke had already decided in his heart that Gawain was just a cat crying mouse fake mercy, and he was like a wounded lion, dragging his bruised body, and constantly roaring at Gawain:

"Don't pretend here, it's all because of you. Because of you and your company, half of my life's hard work will be in vain......"

Gao Wen saw that Locke was emotional, and he couldn't do anything about him, so he had to comfort: "Don't be so pessimistic, everything will be fine." ”

Unexpectedly, when Gawain said this, Locke was even more excited:

"Get better? With your Tenglong company, how can we Seagate get better, and some can only go bankrupt. ”

Gawain shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out:

"Actually, I've never liked to push people to a dead end. ”

Locke tore off Gawain's hypocritical mask on the spot and said, "Don't pretend here, Mr. Gawain." You're already pushing us to the brink of extinction. ”

Gawain touched his nose and said to Locke a little embarrassed: "You may not believe it, when I developed the Tamron home computer, the target was Atari, and I never thought that I would accidentally hurt the innocent." ”

Where could Locke believe it, he didn't believe Gawain's nonsense at all.

"Hehe, what an innocent. A word of innocence will make our Seagate finished. ”

Gao Wen saw that no matter how he explained, Locke just didn't believe it, so he simply picked out the words directly:

"Seagate is the leader in the development and production of hard disk drives in the United States, and with the unparalleled influence of the United States in the world, it has a great advantage over other hard disk manufacturers in terms of sales channels and market share around the world.

And our Tenglong company is long in technology, short in the laying of sales channels, if you and I join forces, then in the field of hard disk production in the world, there will be no company is our opponent. Such a prospect is really exciting!"

Locke treated others with himself, and said suspiciously: "Are you really willing to cooperate with our Seagate and not kill them all?"

Gawain asked rhetorically: "Why rush to kill everything, isn't it better to complement each other's advantages and benefit each other?"

Locke sighed silently, knowing that he had no choice at the moment, and asked very sensibly, "Then what price do we have to pay?" ”

Gao Wen couldn't help but be happy, talking to smart people is different, you don't have to make any effort, you can see through it at one point.

That's a good question, and it gets to the point. ”

Gawain first praised Locke, and then changed his words and put forward his own conditions,

"I have two conditions.

One is that I can license the microarchitecture of the flash memory chip to you, and you Seagate will design your own flash memory chip according to the instruction set architecture to produce Seagate's own SSD, but your hard disk production must be manufactured by us. Don't think about it, it's for your own good. After all, under the same technology, the cost of labor, raw materials, etc. in our factory is lower. You can produce a drive of the exact same size at twice as much cost as us.

The second is that I don't need cash, and the microarchitecture and solid-state drive technology authorized to you need you to exchange the wafer production line with the 3-micron process technology. ”

"The first one I can promise you on behalf of the company, but the second one is quite difficult, the 3-micron wafer production line is controlled by the American government in terms of export, and I dare not guarantee that you will be able to get what you want. ”
