The Science and Technology Commission's symposium on computer system technology strategy ended in peace.

The risks behind Wang An's theory were fully exposed under the attack of Gu Wei's "the more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes", and it has not been able to bias anyone.

However, Wang An himself still fell into paranoia and was not corrected by Gu Biao. It's just that he was no longer able to influence others.

This is not surprising, after all, he is a 66-year-old man, and he has cancer, so it is normal for his brain to not be able to turn around. Only bloody lessons at the practical level can awaken him, and paper deductions are useless.

After this part of the meeting, Gu Biao stayed for two more days than Wang An, because Gu Biao also had to participate in a seminar on the strategic layout of domestic wireless communication technology, and the communication field had nothing to do with Wang An, so this symposium only needs Gu Biao to participate.

The specific details of the meeting will not be repeated, and its subsequent impact will naturally be mentioned later.

Wang An flew back to the United States in a state of apprehension.

Although it did not give his son enough prestige to talk about details.

But after all, it can be regarded as having met foreign high-level leaders with his son and participated in a science and technology strategy symposium that is comparable to the "Star Wars Project" and the "Eureka Project".

Therefore, Wang An still insists on speeding up the process of his succession.

Wang Ann didn't want Cunningham and John Chambers to see how Wang Lie was doing in this business. What he wants is a quick knife to cut through the mess, and a quick operation will settle the matter.

This kind of confused decision-making is not that Gu Biao has the halo of the protagonist, but that in the original history that was in line with history, Wang An took his son to China in October to brush his face, and let his son take over as CEO in November after he came back.

……

At the same time, in the capital, the Gu family mansion next door to the Diào Yú Tái State Guesthouse.

Gu Ao, who had just finished a big deal, was in a good mood, and when he returned home, he went against Mina and recited poetry, sat and drank for fun, and celebrated in private.

The couple climbed upstairs in the small building in the garden to drink, overlooking the waterfront scenery of Yuyuan Lake and Yongding Canal, so happy.

Gu Biao talked about his commotion in the past few days, and won the sincere worship of the girl.

If a person can't show off when he can't show off, it's also very tiring.

However, Mina is business-minded after all, and after worshipping Gu Biao, she did not forget to remind and persuade:

If you want to acquire Wang An's computer in the most important way in the future, and continue to do a good job of this brand and this series of products, you should not let this company slowly fall into the abyss, so that in the future, the things you will take over will not be valuable, and their technology research and development will also be disjointed and their talents will wither. ”

Mina's words are indeed very in line with business logic. Because Gu Biao is not one of those "barbarians at the door", he will leave after speculating on a wave of stock prices to get the difference, and Gu Biao really plans to manage the brand of Wang An Computer well in the future.

But the details of Gu Ao's style made Mina misunderstand that he used the same way he used to deal with Texas Instruments to snipe Wang An.

Mina had to wonder if her husband's mentality had not changed.

However, Gu Biao quickly solved the girl's doubts.

"It's not what you think," Gu Biao said calmly, "If you're worried that if I toss Wang An so much, it will cause Wang An to lose talent, then there's no need."

The liquidity of this industry is not so large, and in the short term limited to the next one or two years, if Wang An's life is not good, other computer companies that have developed their own operating systems will also have a hard time. I just have to keep an eye on the core technical staff and don't go to IBM and Microsoft. If they are willing to come to Tiankun, I will also pay attention to absorb them

Next month, our Tiankun learning machine will be launched. This can be regarded as gradually moving from game consoles to 'with word processor function', and Tiankun is on the rise, as long as there is a heart to guide, how to choose those people is very clear. ”

Gu Biao first clarified the first risk, then paused, took a sip of black tea, and waited for Mina to digest it.

"Secondly, if you are worried that Wang An's technology will lose its advanced and acquired value because of Wang An's blind tossing for a year or two, it does not exist.

Because of the closed operating system of personal computers, game consoles, research and development are cyclical, generally 5~7 years to launch a generation of new products, or afraid of too long intervals, between generations about 3 years to sandwich a PRo or PLus version transition.

The previous generation of word processors of Wang An computer was replaced about 82~83, and the cPu grade was about the same as the Intel 286 processor. At present, in the past two years, Wang An has only continued to produce and sell that generation of models, and his R&D strength is a low-paid and semi-idle state with little performance, and the main focus is on upgrading application software.

In this case, it will not be a big problem for us to interrupt Wang An's R&D rhythm for one to two years in the off-season. Moreover, we Tiankun have just switched to the learning machine this year, and we still have a lot of accumulation to do from the fully functional closed system computer, and blind snake swallowing elephants will cause indigestion. Only by poaching the strengths of one or the other for a year or two to provide a comparison can we better integrate. ”

In the era when PCs were generally compatible with computers, everyone felt that the computer hardware would be backward in a year or two, and they had to change the graphics card or memory. But this is because the era of compatible machines is fast-paced, and the driver interface of hardware and software is very open.

However, in the 80s, the pace of personal computer replacement was similar to that of later generations of Ps game consoles. Sony makes Ps game consoles, which is also an average of 7 years to produce a generation of new game consoles.

In the past 7 years, even if the indicators of cPu, graphics card, and memory are lagging behind, it is impossible to partially iterate a new product.

Consumers are also accustomed to this slow pace.

So whether it's Wang An or Apple, their R&D department has a cyclical period of large and small years, and in some years, hardware R&D personnel will be in a low-paid and semi-unemployed state with a basic salary and no performance, which is unimaginable in the eyes of IT dogs who are busy with dogs in later generations.

Only the software department can keep the work on all the time, after all, there is always new application software coming out. And Apple Wang Ann develops all the apps by itself.

Gu Biao thinks that under the premise of 5~7 years of product replacement cycle, it is better to drag Motorola's 10mhZ main frequency 68000cPu in 1988, and other supporting facilities to come up, and then enter the field of full-featured personal computers.

The current 85-year-old version of the 6mhZ Motorola Cargo does not produce a decisive functional improvement on the current mainstream products on the market. Fastest update Desktop::/

Historically, Apple's Macintosh II generation has almost been supported by 88 models of 68000cPu.

At present, Wang An's existing products can still hold up without the slightest decline.

Some of the above words involve prophecies, and Gu Biao can only think about it in his heart. But just the part he can tell Mina is enough to reassure the girl.

Mina no longer questioned it.

The couple spent several days in the capital, smoothed out all the symposiums and industrial relations, gained enough favors and opportunities to show their faces from the Science and Technology Commission and relevant planning departments, and then prepared to go south to Xiangjiang.

Gu Biao was originally going to Xiangjiang in March, but now it's late April.

Gu Biao, who has not had time to inspect the production of Xiangji, has accumulated a lot of problems during the run-in period and asks him to outsource resources.

And the Tiankun learning machine is about to go on the market, and Gu Biao must personally grasp the latest situation.

……

At the same time that Gu Biao went south to Xiangjiang, in San Francisco in early May, there was a wave of shaking at the headquarters of Wang An Computer Company.

Less than two weeks after returning from China, Wang An made a certain layout, and he did not completely disagree with Gu Biao's advice, after all, Gu Biao revealed IBM's sinister intentions, Wang Anshi listened very well.

So those measures against IBM, Wang An will still arrange. Moreover, in the implementation stage of the arrangement, Wang An deliberately let his son Wang Lie play the role of leading the promotion, further allowing Wang Lie to accumulate the right to make decisions in the company.

This wave of operations is still convincing to the company for the time being, after all, everyone regards IBM as the main enemy.

Wang An saw that the feedback was good, so he was ready to move and officially began to implement his succession plan.

The power should be handed over while the prestige has not faded.

One day after the May Day holiday, Wang An privately convened a meeting of Wang An's key executives at the computer to announce his decision.

"Starting next month, I am ready to hand over the position of CEO of the company to Wang Lie to take over. His recent performance has also been seen by everyone, in the 'China Eureka' program, he has been recognized by international peers, and after he came back, he has also made so many strategic adjustments that everyone thinks are exquisite to deal with IBM's competition. I think this appointment is appropriate. ”

Wang An's wording was relatively safe, but his tone was unquestionable.

"Ann, you are not too hasty to do this, I know that you are not well, and I sympathize with that. We've been working together for 30 years, and I'm as saddened by what happened to you, as much as I was when I was seriously ill. But you can't be in such a hurry, the company's product development strategy is a major hidden danger, and your arbitrary progress will only make people disheartened!"

The first one to jump out is the old partner of the co-founder, Kaningham.

But strictly speaking, Kaningham is nearly ten years younger than Wang An. Exactly 30 years ago, when Wang An was already 36 years old, he officially founded Wang An Computer Company, when Kaninghan was only 28 years old and graduated from graduate school, with only one or two years of work experience, and became the first accomplice to be brought in by Wang Ān Lā.

Therefore, Kanningham, who is still in his 50s, somewhat feels that the founding team of the first generation of the company can still persist in leading for ten or eight years.

Compared to Carningham's blanket opposition, CMO John Chambers was sharper.

He bluntly pointed out: "Boss, I think the strategic planning of the computer industry in the 'China Eureka' plan you mentioned, it seems to me that it is really nothing, and I have also cared about it through some channels, and I think Gu Biao's views are more in line with the future industry trend......

"Bastard, is this the kind of thing you should ask? Talking like this, don't you want to do it?!" Wang An was furious, he couldn't tolerate his subordinates spying on these things that they shouldn't know. 6
