A_V expanded the influence of the VHS format, video games have boosted the performance of personal computers, and free content has led to the growth of the web......

Whether it's hard to talk about or praised, happy or hated, the connections are real there.

Tang Huan, who can see it clearly, doesn't need to work too hard, as long as he pries the most critical link, he can grasp the initiative at the lowest cost.

From this association, Tang Huan slowly came up with an idea in his mind to deal with the possible wave of IBM-PC compatible machines.

Since Gordon. If someone like Campbell can be inspired to design an IBM-PC-compatible chip with the same functionality but at a lower price, then there must be someone who sees the opportunity to develop a third-party compatible BIOS.

At that time, any garage factory will be able to manufacture and sell IBM-PC compatible machines by simply kneading together Intel-based CPUs, third-party chips, and BIOS.

Is this the ultimate in making PCs easier? Of course not, with chips, you have to design circuit boards, and for non-specialists, it is still not completely friendly.

Only when the machine was assembled in the original time and space can everyone get it. And this direction will also be the trend of the times. Cover because it is equivalent to allowing users to be closer to the manufacturing, service, maintenance and other links of personal computers, and the purchase cost is correspondingly lower.

Since the second generation, Fangyuan personal computers have a structured design of CPU sockets, memory modules, expansion cards, motherboards, power supplies, etc. The IBM-PC/AT, which is being developed by Big Blue, has only begun to introduce the concept of memory modules to IBM-PC. As for other kinds of personal computers. The components are also being joined by welding. It's nice to have an open slot for expansion slots.

Arguably. Fangyuan personal computer has long had the adaptability of the assembly machine,

In order to further expand the market share of Fangyuan's personal computer standard, Tang Huan did not mind taking the risk and launched this personal computer manufacturing concept in advance, whose impact is difficult to assess.

However, the circulation mode of the accessories used in the assembly machine is more worthy of scrutiny on how to live in harmony with the existing channels of the brand machine.

But no matter what, Tang Huan is ready to release the trick of the assembly machine. Therefore. During the filming period in Tokyo, he had to take the time to communicate with Japanese compatible machine manufacturers.

……

At this time, new news came from the United States.

Adam. Osborne eventually resisted the pressure and filed for bankruptcy protection for his company, hoping to get out of the situation with a new portable PC in the light of time.

Tang Huan couldn't help but shake his head, Adam. Osborne's performance disappointed him a little, but he still told John to do so. Chambers, try to help each other. It should be regarded as a good relationship between Fangyuan Computer Company.

Plus, you don't have to think much about it to know. IBM could not afford to miss the opportunity of the three generations of Fangyuan personal computer quality gates, and it took the opportunity to launch two new models, IBM-PC/Portable and IBMPC/jr.

The R&D background of IBM-PC/Portable is very simple, that is, the blue giant saw that Compaq portable computers were very popular in the market, and they were very red-eyed, and an IBM-PC compatible machine could grab money so easily, and of course they could not lag behind in this genuine brand, so they launched the official version of the portable IBM-PC.

As a result, the product line of the personal computer is very complete, from the basic IBM-PC, to the IBM-PC/XT with hard disk, and the portable IBM-PC/Portable.

As for IBMPC/jr, it belongs to a completely new product category from the current chief engineer Bill Brown. The Sydney Idea, a simplified version of IBM-PC, can be upgraded to IBM-PC, with a sales target of reaching every home.

Obviously, IBM wanted to expand its share of the PC market, so it targeted the field of cheap computers.

However, after seeing the $1,500 price written on the report document, Tang Huan burst out laughing at the time, and said in his heart that this is also called a cheap personal computer? It seems that you are really making a lot of money and making too much money to understand this concept.

However, Bill. Tang Huan was intrigued by the scalable design of Sydneys' upgrade from IBMPC/jr to IBM-PC, so he decided to see if it was really as the blue giant claimed, and the real reaction of the market.

After writing his opinion, Tang Huan's eyes turned to the next report, which introduced how the part of Warner stock held by Yanle Entertainment Group was sought after. Ross relayed a message and wanted to talk to him.

Seeing this, Tang Huan was extremely curious. To know that Yourself and Steve. Ross has reached the point where he gets tired of seeing each other, what is there to talk about?

After calculating the time difference, Tang Huan informed his subordinates in the United States and asked Steve to . Ross contacted himself, the transatlantic phone call is so "expensive", of course, the other party is responsible for paying.

……

When he learned that Tang Huan was willing to negotiate with him, Steve. Rose breathed a sigh of relief. Warner's current situation is delicate and dangerous, and he must put aside some personal grievances and take the initiative to mediate.

After the phone was connected, the two old rivals were too lazy to greet each other hypocritically, and went straight to the point.

Tang Huan asked stiffly, "What are you looking for me?" It's night in Tokyo, and if it weren't for your age, I'd have asked you to call in 10 hours. ”

"Well, I want to thank you for your politeness." Steve with a fire in his heart. Rose, after a sarcastic sentence, directly stated the purpose, "How about selling me the Warner stock in your hand?" Despite the offer! ”

Now Steve. The biggest trouble Ross faced was that he couldn't figure out Tang Huan's mind, and he couldn't predict that the other party would sell this part of the stock to News Corp., Times Media, Turner Broadcasting, Cork? The one among the Kirkrians.

But no matter what the outcome is, these four sides are not easy to deal with, Steve. Ross still wants to buy back this part of the stock by himself, even if he is stabbed by Tang Huan.

"But I'm not short of money now, and I'm more willing to help Warner tide over the current difficulties." Tang Huan snorted a haha.

"Don't pretend, no one can casually treat hundreds of millions of dollars in cash as nothing, and neither can you, the richest man." Steve. Rose said impatiently, "How about I sell Atari to you?" In this way, EA is completely dominant. ”

"You can tell me that the video game industry is so bad now, and Atari is about to collapse, and you want to throw the burden on me?" Tang Huan snorted disdainfully, "You might as well sell Warner Records to me." ”

"You can tell the truth that the video game industry is so bad right now, and movies and records are Warner's most profitable divisions." Steve. Rose sneered.

"Then there's no need to talk about it, you can't get the chips that interest me." Tang Huan was about to hang up the phone immediately.

"Wait." Steve. Rose hurriedly asked tentatively, "Then who are you going to sell this part of the stock to?" ”

"Which side do you want to get this part of the stock?" Tang Huan asked playfully. (To be continued.) )
