Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "Time magazine is really unconventional, the personal computer is just a cold machine, and it was actually linked by you and the person of the year. ”

"It's not a good choice for us to choose Person of the Year, is it?" Michael? Moritz smiled, "You know, 1982 was a turbulent year for the personal computer industry. Believe this, you know best. It is precisely because of the efforts of you Silicon Valley elites that the whole United States now has a clearer understanding of personal computers. And this influence is enough to be named the person of the year. ”

"You convinced me." Tang Huan nodded approvingly.

Michael? Moritz is not exaggerating at all, after years of accumulation, the entire personal computer industry began to shine in 1982.

Apple, which was the first to taste this sweetness, sold 279,000 units of the Apple II throughout the year, and the annual sales of the latecomer IBM-PC reached 200,000 units, showing the strong heritage of the blue giant.

Cheap personal computers such as Commodore and Tangdi are also very impressive, with hundreds of thousands of units, by virtue of their price advantages.

As for Fangyuan personal computers and their compatible machines, with an annual sales volume of 840,000 units that almost suffocated investors, it topped the list in this industry and stood out from the crowd, initially establishing the market advantage of Fangyuan's personal computer standards.

The major Japanese manufacturers that have been authorized by Fangyuan personal computer compatible machines are currently mainly busy fighting for the share of the Japanese domestic market, and with the maturity and optimization of production, market, service and other links, they are bound to attack the North American market in a big way.

When the time comes. Fangyuan's personal computer standard will be more solid.

Maybe the sharpness of Fangyuan's computer is too scary. Some time ago, there was a lot of uproar in the IBM v. Compaq infringement case. It took a sharp turn and finally ended in reconciliation.

Compaq paid $1 million in protection money to the Blue Giant, which was considered to be a legitimate recognition for its portable personal computer products.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "magnanimity" suddenly shown by the blue giant is because he was afraid of the strong rise of Fangyuan Computer, so he changed his mind and accepted Compaq, the little brother of the IBM-PC standard camp.

To know. Fangyuan Computer Company is not only a business of Fangyuan personal computers, the office equipment department that operates printers, fax machines, card readers and other products, the system service department to which Fangyuan personal workstations, Fangyuan network servers and other products belong, and the supercomputer department that has just sat on the throne of the world's most powerful computer, each has amazing profitability, and together helped Fangyuan Computer Company's annual operating income cross the threshold of 5 billion US dollars, and trampled on the big brother HP of Silicon Valley.

Fangyuan Computer Company was full of oil, and the price was that IBM, which almost dominated the computer market, was robbed of some delicious food.

It can be said that in less than four years, Fangyuan Computer Company has quickly grown into a competitor that even the blue giant has to face.

Compared to this big picture. Compaq Computer first slashed and then moved IBM-PC cheese behavior, and IBM can be appropriately forgiven.

Maybe. This little brother can really help the IBM-PC standard camp expand its territory and draw the attention of Fangyuan Computer in the low-end market of personal computers, so that the blue giant has time to think about how to counter Fangyuan's aggressive offensive in the traditional high-end field.

There is no doubt that Time magazine's insight is very keen, and the editors noticed that the rapid growth of the personal computer industry in the context of the economic downturn has brought positive changes to the whole United States, so they did not hesitate to give the crown of Man of the Year to the personal computer.

"Now that I think about it, how well deserved we named you Person of the Year last year." Michael? Moritz said as he pulled out a photograph, "This is a portrait we took for a personal computer. ”

Tang Huan took a closer look and saw that the photo was a model of a Fangyuan personal computer, and a half-open model of a Fangyuan laptop was standing next to it.

"Why do you have to go so far to make models, it's easier to get a ready-made brand new computer directly from me." Tang Huan said with a smile.

"We still need to pursue a certain level of artistry. Besides, using your Fangyuan computer directly will not help you do free advertising. "Michael? Moritz shook his head repeatedly.

Tang Huan cut off, pointed to the model of Fangyuan's laptop in the photo and said, "This kind of Fangyuan laptop is currently the only one, and there is no other semicolon." You put it in a photo, what's the difference between it and an advertisement? ”

"There's no way around that, who makes your company's technology ahead of everyone else, and we think it's cool enough." Michael? After Moritz complimented, the subject changed and got down to business.

"In addition to the PC Person of the Year, we've also curated a series of interviews with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, so I'm going to ask for your cooperation."

"No problem." Tang Huan readily agreed, but when he saw Michael? When Moritz directly called the photographer over to teach him in person, he couldn't help touching his head and said with a wry smile: "There's no need to take pictures, I'll ask you to find other suitable photos." ”

"Of course you have to take pictures, this image of yours is trendy enough, and it will definitely make the reader's eyes shine." Michael? Moritz smiled while pointing out Tang Huan's demeanor, and asked casually, "Is this bald head to pay tribute to the upcoming Fangyuan Computer Company?" ”

"A hairstyle, how can there be so many words." Tang Huan didn't want to make a big fuss, so he brought it over in a word.

……

Tang Huan's bald head is not only eye-catching, but also cool enough, when he rang the New Year's bell for the New York Stock Exchange, he was really abused by the weather in New York.

For Tang Huan, this bell ringing ceremony is nothing to be excited about, it is just a way to add icing on the cake in the countdown stage of Fangyuan Computer's listing.

But at this juncture when the myth of wealth is about to be born, Tang Huan is the focus of attention, and although he is indifferent, he still attracts a large number of reporters.

"Tang, are you using this hairstyle to express the excitement brought about by the listing of Fangyuan Computer?" A reporter quipped.

"No, this bald head doesn't have any special meaning." Tang Huan, who was full of confidence in his gestures, replied loudly: "Tell you the truth, my heart is very calm. In my opinion, the listing of Fangyuan Computer is a matter of course, and its performance and prospects are worthy of the favor of investors. (To be continued......)
