Gu Biao is not very clear, in history, around 1991~1992, Apple, iBm and Motorola established the "AIM Alliance", which products were specifically launched.

After all, these things are all prehistoric products that he has not used in his previous life, and the Chinese in the 90s rarely understand them.

If you look down from God's vantage point, the picture becomes clearer: the AIM alliance of these three companies has launched a PoweR-PC plan to counter Microsoft, which has since become so powerful that it has completely lost control of iBm.

In this consortium, iBm is responsible for providing a reduced instruction set based on the upgrade of the earlier Risc architecture and miPs architecture, plus some optimization technologies for the integration of the whole machine, Motorola is responsible for designing the cPu chip entity based on this instruction set architecture, and Apple is responsible for the design of the final machine.

To take an inappropriate but easy-to-understand example, it is like the later era of smartphones, Qualcomm provides the core chip, aRm is responsible for the instruction set architecture, and Apple is responsible for the development of the whole mobile phone. [This is just for the convenience of everyone's understanding, in fact, there is some overlap of powers]

The Apple of the smartphone world in 2007 is equivalent to the Apple of PoweR-PC in 1991, aRm is equivalent to iBm in '91, and Qualcomm is equivalent to Motorola in '91.

However, according to the trajectory of history, in the end, Apple got the most benefits from the cooperation of this iron triangle.

Apple first launched a regular desktop version of the PoweR-PC, and the sales in the first two years were okay, which was a little higher than the market share of the Macintosh I and II generations.

But when Microsoft's win95 system was about to appear, PoweR-PC's desktops began to rout.

The reason is also very easy to understand, just like what Gu Biao said to Mina about the impact risk of the assembly machine brought by Microsoft.

However, within a year of the launch of the PoweR-PC desktop, Apple came up with a laptop version, the PoweR-Book.

This series later became Apple's turn to the notebook business, and has always maintained the continuity of the company's products and technology, carrying the lifeline of the entire winDows era.

Because the notebook pursues thinness, lightness and portability, there is not so much redundant space for you to waste, and it is difficult to play with the assembly machine compatible machine. It was also the experience of the notebook era that made Apple later notice the development in the direction of mobile phones.

Because the mobile phone is also a product that is stuck by the appearance and volume, consumers, especially female consumers, will not buy a stupid and thick black ugly man for the sake of "the same configuration can be cheaper by one or two thousand yuan".

In the Android era, it was not that Grain Song had never thought of "repeating the history of Microsoft's elimination of Apple in the PC era", so Grain Song once thought about getting "a compatible machine for Android mobile phones".

This plan sounds beautiful, and Grain Song is trying to make a whole chassis with redundancy in size, this chassis is a motherboard and a plastic case, providing various sockets, just like the motherboard of a PC assembly computer provides you with slots for cPu, graphics card, memory and hard drive, of course, there are more slots for mobile phones, such as cameras.

Then the accessories suppliers on the market sell chips, memory, batteries, and cameras directly to consumers, and consumers buy a set of accessories and plug them directly into the compatible chassis to form a mobile phone.

It's a pity that this plan was launched by Grain Song in the early 2010s, and no one supported it until the end of the 2010s. It can only be said that the programmer of Grain Song solves the thinking of the world and underestimates the woman's dedication to Yan Kong. Once you meet a male god, you will be mistaken for life

Gu Biao also doesn't like Yan Gou, but he is a person with multiple perspectives and will not be purely obsessed with technology.

If he wants to face this real and cold world, he must face Yan Gou's combat power.

He doesn't need to know the details of Apple's development, but he can naturally see that when the next generation of products in the future is the best choice for a computer company to drag Microsoft's golden decade forward.

To do this, taking out the apples and replacing them is the first step.

In the next few years, there are still many supporting technologies that can be invested in the development of the follow-up, which is also good, such as liquid crystal displays.

The high-cost LCD display will replace the old cRt in the desktop field until around the millennium, because the desktop does not need to consider the problem of portability, and cheap and good display effect are king. But it is impossible for a notebook to carry a big bulge, and to develop a notebook, it is necessary to engage in LCD.

Historically, until the outbreak of the "Plaza Accord", liquid crystal, as a product of the semiconductor technology category, has always been the world of the company, and Japanese companies such as Sharp have long occupied an absolute hegemony. At that time, even if any other foreign company wanted to intervene, it was impossible, and this industry, like the chip process, needed at least five to seven years of upfront losses and basic investment, and then went through a long period of unprofitable running-in to expand the market.

However, in the past few years of 86~88, with the increase in the cost of the company and the appreciation of the yen, the semiconductor process has started a process of comprehensive outflow to low-cost areas.

Historically, it was in these years that the semiconductor process in the field of wafers was transferred to the original Wanji.

And the LCD and even other screen display processes later, flowed to Nanbang, mainly by Samsung, and then immediately spread to companies such as LG.

This is also due to the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, which allowed the whole country to invest in a lot of high-tech infrastructure construction, paving the way for Samsung/LG with the power of the country

Later, before and after the 08 Olympics in Beijing, China also vigorously promoted the concept of 3G and upgraded the mobile phone network that had been delayed for many years. Nanbang has been using cDma since 1996 and entered 3G before 2000. In 1988, it was the first to respond to the GSM, in order to make the capital's communication infrastructure reach the most advanced international level when the country hosted the Olympic Games.

From this point of view, I have to admit that East Asian countries often rely on the whole country to hold large-scale events to force infrastructure upgrades, not only China and Nanbang benefit from this, go back more than 20 years, in the 60s when Tokyo hosted the Olympic Games, I said that I was also for the Olympics to push the new Gan line, otherwise how could I say that I became the world's first high-speed rail technology in one fell swoop.

Without Gu Xiao's intervention, the Chinese could later gradually become world-class in the field of liquid crystal and even in the field of LeD screen display and oLeD screen display, but it would be much later You have to wait for the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, the South Koreans also began to decline and spread, before being seized by the Chinese company BOE and Samsung's industry status [Boe, formerly known as the Beijing CRT factory, has no half-dime relationship with the dog dong, most readers should know, but it is better to clear the literacy to avoid misunderstanding]

And now, if Gu Biao had capital, of course he would not wait for Samsung to steal the industry hegemon in the middle for 20 years.

He wants to directly lay out the place in Samsung's place.

In the future, Asia will not need the concept of the four tigers, as long as Xiangjiang and Lijiapo, the two "two tigers" who are engaged in foreign trade and regional economic development. Painting the ground as a prison: the only pet is the concubine

Whether it is the high-tech industry that Wanwan transferred from himself, or the high-tech industry that Nanbang transferred from himself, now they only need to be transferred to Gu Biao. [Of course, Gu Biao can't get the other industries of Wanwan and Nanbang's self-reliance, he just can't get those high-tech that have been transferred from Yuben]

After completing these layouts, he is equivalent to Apple plus TSMC in history, plus half of Samsung and half of Sony.

The reason why I say half is because Sony has other industries in addition to game consoles and consumer electronics, and what Gu Biao grabbed was just a game console and other things to play.

In addition to LCD, Samsung also has many other basic electronics industries that Gu Biao can't stop, and even more industries that are not related to technology. People in Nanbang are a country within a country, from finance and insurance to real estate and medical care, they are super conglomerates, and those have nothing to do with Gu Biao.

……

After living in Greenwich for a short time, Gu Biao occasionally continued his daily contacts with Watson Jr. and other neighboring families. Only I didn't go to meet with the people of the Buxu family.

The first time, little Watson didn't react to Gu Biao's attempt, but when he thought about it, he would always understand.

"If Microsoft is really completely overwhelmed, what type of partners should iBm work with when it needs to work with people?"

Sooner or later, little Watson will figure it out.

The helmsmen of these tech giants can talk less nonsense in person for the sake of face, but in private, they must think about defeat before they win, and then the risk of small possibilities, as long as they think of it, they will deduce it again.

So since the first time he came to Gu Biao's house for afternoon tea, in just three or four days, he realized that Gu Biao might want to play a role, with Wang An's current foundation, and what opponents he still needs to kill.

"You don't want to compete viciously with Apple, do you?" This is a question that Watson asked casually when he drank tea with Gu Biao for the second time.

"How is it possible, this market has a very low entry threshold, there are so many opponents, how can I lose money and compete viciously with one of the opponents, isn't this a matter of snipe and clam competing for profit, even if Jobs is much weaker than me, just a mussel, I can't do it." Gu Biao put a smoke bomb at that time.

And for good reason.

"I heard that Steve Jobs is about to release a new generation of Macintosh computers in the summer, don't you care?" Watson Jr. continued to probe at the time.

As if to prove that he didn't care, Gu Biao replied very crisply and fluently: "I don't even care too much about the release of my Tiankun's new generation of game consoles, I don't have time to understand Apple's affairs to tell the truth, I am going to take my female companion to Europe for a honeymoon this month, and there are some royal franchise projects in Monaco, and I have not had time to take care of them."

I myself have always adhered to an open competitive attitude, and with so many peers, I never spend my own strength and get along with anyone.

Of course, if there are other peers who are not used to Jobs, and want to burn money with each other, whether it is subsidies, price wars, or vicious competition, I am happy to see it. In that case, I'm a fisherman. ”

When Gu Biao put on this posture, it was harmless to a person and animals.
