For those people in the future, this matter is incredible, many people queue up overnight, actually to buy a computer system?

That's because times are different. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

While Apple is still a struggling computer maker, Microsoft represents an invincible force for innovation in the tech world.

Windows 95 was the last time Microsoft had the right to speak in the world's technology, and when the next generation of XP systems was released, it was already a glorious era for the heroes.

Now Microsoft is an out-and-out leader in the Internet industry, and its high market value of more than $200 billion on the NASDAQ stock exchange is like a mountain weighing on the heads of many established companies.

Today, the Sumitomo Foundation, one of Japan's major conglomerates, has a combined market value of less than $150 billion in all its subsidiaries, which shows how terrifying it is.

While Han Xuan was writing the second part of the "Pirate Legend" novel, "The Legend of the Pirate Legend: The Legend of the Dragon King", he waited for the system to be installed, and as introduced in the manual, it took several hours to complete.

Close the notebook and experience its operation carefully, and after playing the video, I suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

In 1995, it was a novelty for the average user to be able to play videos on their computers.

Windows95 is the first Windows operating system launched by Microsoft, which can play videos, and in order to better promote the Windows 95 video playback function, Microsoft also specially recorded two music videos full of 90s style.

One is "Buddy-holly" by Wither's Choir and the other is "good-Times" by Edie Buchael.

Originally, Ramirez should have had a chance, but unfortunately he is now in the period of voice change, so he missed it, and the Backstreet Boys of Black Hole Records ......

Gates thought they weren't famous enough, and didn't agree to Han Xuan's request to let them record, this operating system did all the hard work of Gates, and he didn't want to be sloppy at all, even if it was just the video that came with the system.

Fortunately, Windows 95 can only support a single video playback, while his Be-OS operating system can now support three videos at the same time.

It seems that the company's BE system will be developed in a hurry, and when Microsoft's desktop operating system is fully popularized and users adapt to its operation methods, the situation of BE-OS will be very difficult at that time.

Microsoft's terrifying patent barriers gave Han Xuan the most headache.

Perhaps the easiest way to get around its dense patent system is to borrow from the future Apple operating system.

It took a noon to draw out the operation method of the Mac-OS system desktop and specific text version, and now Jobs's Next is still negotiating a merger with Apple, and the classic system has not yet been born, and he intends to preemptively register a patent.

As for what Apple has done and how Apple will go in the future, this problem will be left to the resourceful Steve Jobs to solve.

In Han Xuan's opinion, he should have a way, and the name of "Science and Technology Master" is not called in vain.

Let Jobs return to Apple two years early, and this operating system will be regarded as a thank you fee from him, and Han Xuan accepts it calmly......

The voice of Secretary Dawson came over the communicator, and he said that Mr. Ryan Kesten Miller, CEO of Han's Auto Company, had called.

Han Xuan walked to the wall and pressed the button, and said into the communicator: "I know, come over immediately." ”

Now in this undersea room, he can't receive a phone signal at all.

Taking the elevator that had just been built and smelled of paint upstairs, Han Xuan took the phone from Secretary Dawson and asked him, "It's me, is there something wrong?"

"I have good news and can't wait to tell you!"

Kesten Miller's voice came over the phone, and he said excitedly: "Just now, all the Aston Martin one111 supercars have been pre-sold!"

In early March, Han Xuan held a press conference, during which a new Aston Martin supercar called the ONE-111 was unveiled.

Limited to 111 vehicles worldwide, it is expected to be delivered to those customers at a cost of $100,000 starting at the end of 1997.

Hearing this news, Han Xuan was a little incredulous, and he didn't even announce the specific price, but just released a concept car, and it sold so hot?

The price was not announced, which means that those who paid a deposit were willing to buy the car no matter how much it was priced at.

Han Xuan thought to himself at the moment, there are so many local tyrants in this world, and asked in his mouth: "Do you mean the thirty-three vehicles allocated to the United States, or all of them?"

"All!"

“…… I remember there were also three places in Huaxia, and they were also sold?"

"That's right.

The three cars were bought by Li Chunping, Li Xiaohua, and Shi Yuzhu. Kesten Miller replied.

Among the three people, Han Xuan only knew the well-known Shi Yuzhu.

After listening to Kestten Miller's introduction of information, I learned that this person named Li Chunping married an Oscar-winning actress in the United States more than ten years ago and inherited her large inheritance, and he had just returned to China not long ago.

The man named Li Xiaohua is now the richest man in Yanjing, who bought the first Ferrari in China a few years ago, and usually likes cars very much.

Han Xuan's heart suddenly swelled with an emotion called "regret", he knew that he should have changed his name to Aston Martin one1111!

In this way, more than 1,000 units can be built legitimately, and you may even be able to make money selling supercars.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it, the has been blown out, and now it's worth the loss to regret it, Han Xuan continued: "How is the matter of integrating Rolls-Royce Motor Cars handled?"

"It went well.

The company has a wide range of technologies, and there are many technologies that can be used by the Maserati, Aston Martin, and Loong brands.

Now I'm working on a new Rolls-Royce as you suggested, but there's a little bit of a problem with Bentley.

Its market share is too low, and the most critical problem is that the brand is not recognized by others.

More than half of Bentley's models are replicating Rolls-Royce products, and there is not too much independent innovation, and the two brands overlap in positioning. ”

"I think Bentley can completely abandon the image of the past and reposition it. ”

Han Xuan said: "We can position Rolls-Royce as the middle-aged and elderly rich, and Bentley as the young and rich.

It is slightly more stylish in appearance and distinguishes it from Rolls-Royce cars. ”

"It's a great idea, and I thought we could give it a try.

This year Bentley has just launched the 1985 Mulsanne Turbo facelift, the Mulsanne Turbo-R.

I'm going to invest that money and use that money to develop a new Bentley.

By the way.

In the first half of this year, the company sold a total of 503 Aston Martins, and the company's financial deficit was more than $180 million.

There are still more than 200 million US dollars on the books, I am not asking for capital injection, the investment in the second half of the year is still very large, and there may not be any way to make money in these two years. ”

Han Xuan had been mentally prepared for this, and he still couldn't help but twitch when he heard this number.

Invested in the construction of an automobile manufacturing plant in Huaxia, an Aston Martin and Maserati manufacturing plant in the United Kingdom, investment in research and development of new vehicles, and employee expenses.

And that's not even counting the cost of acquiring Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, which was funded out of the pocket by Snow Mountain Investments.

Rolls-Royce Aircraft Engine Company, which was bought by Han Xuan with a mortgage Starbucks share loan, belongs to Han Xuan's private company in nature, and has nothing to do with Snow Mountain Investment Company.

This line of work is really not something that ordinary people can involve at will, and Han Xuan himself doesn't know what will happen to this automobile company in the future.

He took a few deep breaths and said, "Send me twenty Bentley Mulsannes, and when you go out, you can sit on them and help Bentley advertise."

Maybe you can sell a few more cars because of this, and give me some psychological comfort......" (To be continued.) )
