Chapter 368: Betrayal
When Hongqi Computer Culture Company's funds dried up again in the medium term, Wang Zhengguo and Jobs wisely chose not to invest money out of their own pockets, and at this time, financial capital from Boston finally had the opportunity to rush in and take a piece of the cake to eat.
Well, for such a thing as a chain Internet café that he made casually, he actually set his own requirements not high.
On the one hand, it is necessary to rely on Internet cafes to quickly promote the ABC-PC system to all parts of the United States, and from this point of view, his goal is already bound to succeed at this stage, and now the IBM-PC system, which has signs of internal fragmentation, does not seem to be as fast as imagined.
On the other hand, Kaiyang Semiconductor's 905 processor production line has entered the three-shift mode in advance, which is to meet the dual needs of the U.S. market and the Republic market, and the second 905 processor production line is being built to do the final commissioning work, which is expected to start production in August 88 after a month.
Compared with the main goal of promoting the ABC-PC system, the second secondary goal is more direct, Wang Zhengguo only needs money, he needs a quick money!
After completing the pre- and mid-term layout of the Hongqi Internet Cafe, Wang Zhengguo held a large number of shares of the Hongqi Internet Cafe at this time, and then stood up and announced that he would unite with financial capital to complete the finishing work of the follow-up Internet Cafe.
In a year at most, the investment profit of his impromptu work can be calculated in units of 100 million US dollars, which is absolutely exciting.
As for whether the Hongqi Internet café in the United States can inject confidence into the shareholding bosses behind the domestic computer palace after making a lot of money, does it need to be asked, it must be a matter of time before they make money.
Even Wang Zhengguo already has a premonition in the dark, and when the news from the United States is transmitted back to China, the bigwigs behind these computer palaces may compete to help the expansion and development of the computer palace out of their own pockets, after all, it is later, and there are too many variables!
After the appearance of the Hongqi Internet café in the US PC market, the new ABC-PC system debuted, and after the departure of Apple, Jobs returned to the king, and the AC-1 computer was very popular, and the news that Jobs had already emptied the stock of Apple quickly spread.
The serious consequences can be imagined, the two founders of Apple have all left Apple one after another, and now the Mac computers on which Apple relies are still the legacy of Steve Jobs.
The new ABC-PC system has already been tested in the market in terms of performance, which is not a good thing for Macs.
All of this points to one result: Apple Computer, a pioneer in the PC industry, has no future in sight, and Apple and Microsoft are still locked in a protracted patent judicial war.
Finally, the stock market first showed a violent reaction, which can be described as a red all the way to the end, and the whole Apple company was in mourning.
The goal of the ABC-PC system was originally to the IBM-PC system, but he didn't expect that it had just landed in the U.S. market for less than half a year, and he would first put Apple down, and Jobs also felt a little bad mood about it, after all, it was the country he had worked hard for and laid down with his own hands, and now it collapsed under his own blow.
"Where you start, you end, this is how we think about life and death in our Eastern philosophy, and now the same is true for Apple. Old Joe, you have to think about it, the next goal must be to confront the IBM-PC system head-on, it is not like Apple, IBM-PC currently occupies 85% of the US market share, this pressure is not small!"
This is the first formal exchange between Wang Zhengguo and Jobs after sorting out domestic affairs, and in addition to talking about Apple's overall rout, the most he talks about is their ultimate opponent: IBM-PC.
In fact, the current AC-1 has successfully extended its tentacles to all parts of the United States through the Internet café channel, but the IBM-PC system that has reacted will definitely not sit still, and at most before the end of 88, you can see the same crazy IBM-PC system Internet café.
How to fight against the long-entrenched IBM-PC system in the U.S. market is a very challenging question, but Jobs seems to have an idea.
"Look at it, this is a letter from IBM and Motorola, from what is revealed in it, first of all, IBM has been dissatisfied with Intel and Microsoft for a long time, and Motorola is also eager to get a CPU order from me, back to the computer CPU field, it wants to compete with Intel. ”
After taking the letter and looking at it twice, Wang Zhengguo actually knew all about it in his heart, and it seemed that the upper plane was also at this time, IBM and Apple and Motorcycle worked together to build a PoerPC system, but later because the three parties had their own careful thoughts, they finally went to defeat.
Of course, the powerful IBM company is so versatile, proficient in all processes from computer research and development to production, after Apple and Motorola were launched one after another, IBM itself will support the entire PoerPC system alone, but remove the "PC", since then Poer will be positioned as a dedicated processor in the field of IBM servers, until the new century, Poer processors can still continue through IBM's server business.
Although the current Apple computer has withered, the Jobs computer has turned out in the sky, and the new ABC-PC system has surfaced, and there is more national background support from the Republic and the United Kingdom, which makes IBM and Motorola two old guys see hope.
Not to mention completely defeating the IBM-PC system, but as long as it can be equalized, this result is still very good.
After the Apple company that Jobs created was out of his control, Jobs chose to start anew, and successfully staged an epic legendary reversal, which was a backhand fly swatting and directly swatting Apple away.
Now history repeats itself, IBM also has the courage to learn from Jobs again, just as IBM learned from Jobs in the field of PC computers, this time IBM once again learned Jobs's means of cleaning up the portal.
Handing the letter back, Wang Zhengguo's meaning was actually very simple.
"Okay, IBM is willing to withdraw from the IBM-PC system, as long as he joins our ABC-PC system, under the advantages of the other, not only the gap between the strength of the two sides will be reduced, but also in the market will also bring a strong boost to the ABC-PC system, after all, IBM's influence should not be underestimated. ”
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is the best choice to accept IBM to join the ABC-PC system, as for how much benefit to be shared by IBM, this is actually good to say, the new system has just been established, and the entire distribution of benefits has not yet been completely solidified, so everyone can sit down and discuss the distribution carefully.
"Without IBM's IBM-PC system, this just sounds ironic, and that was the best time for our ABC-PC system to expand its influence in the market, if nothing else, we ABC-PC should be able to take the opportunity to win more than 30% of the market. ”
Jobs is very confident, this stems from his forward-looking thinking about the market, Intel and Microsoft relied on IBM to succeed in one fell swoop, and now they also have to plant their heads here in IBM, and they borrowed the momentum of IBM back then, so sooner or later they will have to pay back.
For such market expectations, Wang Zhengguo still thinks it is more reliable, as for what is the name of the IBM-PC system without IBM, Intel and Microsoft must have been prepared!
"Surely you should have heard of the inter alliance, which has been widely circulated in the industry for a long time, maybe the goal of our ABC-PC system is not IBM-PC, because it will soon become an interPC system, right?"
