"Is this the help manual for Microsoft Windows 3.1 Chinese Simplified Chinese?" After Tang Huan asked casually, a few hand-underlined words of "a certain bandit" jumped into his eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Old Zhou, are you sure that this is the official document of Microsoft's Windows 3.1 Chinese Simplified Chinese version of the product?" Tang Huan asked suspiciously, while flipping through the other parts.

"Absolutely." Zhou Weikun patted his chest and promised, "I personally purchased the genuine copy, and then printed out this document with the matching electronic manual." ”

"How is that possible? Isn't that uncomfortable for yourself! Tang Huan muttered to himself: "If I remember correctly, Microsoft has set up an office in Yanjing and plans to develop the Chinese market. ”

"The so-called office is actually an empty shelf." Zhou Weikun ironically explained: "When Xiangjiang Zheru developed a supporting localized language version of the software for the mainland, he found a well-known Chinese university to cooperate, and the Chinese Simplified Chinese version of Microsoft Windows 3.1 was basically directly converted from the Chinese traditional version. ”

"I mean, it looks a little awkward." Tang Huan suddenly smiled: "Nouns such as software and programs do not correspond to the software and programs that are more accustomed to being converted to the mainland. ”

"As far as I can speculate, Microsoft entrusted the Chinese Simplified Chinese version of Windows 3.1 to the Treasure Island side to complete, so there is this flaw, or more accurate description—someone's prank." Zhou Weikun shrugged, "In the final analysis, Microsoft has an arrogant attitude towards the Chinese mainland market, and then lazily only thinks about how to dig gold." ”

"Has this problem spread?" Tang Huan, who gently closed the document, asked curiously.

"At least it's spread in a small circle." Zhou Weikun's eyes were full of jokes, "Grasping this sore foot of the Windows 3.1 Chinese Simplified Chinese version can make the IBM-PC compatible machine continue to stay in the MS-DOS operation interface for a period of time; at the same time, the graphical user interface has become the standard configuration of the Fangyuan personal computer, you can take advantage of the loosening of international trade sanctions, and cooperate with some promotional programs, to give profits to agents, to quickly recover the lost market share in the mainland market in recent years." ”

The richest man said wryly: "It seems a bit unkind to do this." ”

Zhou Weikun, who usually looks humble and gentlemanly, insisted unequivocally: "You can just mention it casually when you meet with the top management this time, and after you have a beginning, we will operate the plan to get rid of Microsoft." ”

At this time, Meng Qingguan sat over and interjected with a smile: "What are you discussing?" It feels quite mysterious. ”

Tang Huan opened the manual and pointed it out to his sister-in-law.

"Is this a head caught in the door?" Meng Qingguan immediately couldn't help but shout.

"It should be the negligence of Microsoft headquarters and the mischief played a prank by the people below." Tang Huan replied matter-of-factly.

"I said that today's Lao Zhou's eyes are always full of insidiousness, and his feelings are to take the opportunity to give eye medicine to his competitors." Meng Qingguan made a look of palpitations, "To be honest, the water in Zhongguancun is indeed too deep - the smuggling of the information and communication company was arrested in the summer of last year, and the amount involved was tens of millions, and the general manager Jin Yanjing, the national 38 red flag bearer, was sentenced, and many small companies were almost closed, but since last year, it seems that the momentum of tossing has been restored." ”

"It's a pity that some entrepreneurs first climb to the heights and lose their way all of a sudden." Tang Huan sighed softly, then closed his eyes and recuperated.

Zhou Weikun gently put away the "black materials", with his many years of understanding of the big boss, this kind of superficial questioning actually means acquiescence - that's right, the superior is so hypocritical!

……

Of course, the richest man must be prepared, and then, he was busy for five or six days just from the rulers to the elders, from the central ~ central leaders to the local officials.

The members of the business delegation who were in China for the first time, as well as the representatives in charge of public relations of major multinational companies in Beijing, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded after observing this scene - it was too much of a mix!

China's visit to Mr. the richest man naturally also gave a very high evaluation, according to CCTV news broadcast - Mr. Tang Huan came to China this time in the footsteps of spring!

Tang Huan, who finally took a breath, looked at himself on the TV, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly with a dumb smile.

"Are you proud?" Meng Qingguan teased: "I have to say, you kid is especially good at stepping on the drum - after the speech of the chief Nan ~ tour last year, it caused a lot of controversy, and it was not until the second half of the year that the conclusion was clear, and there was even a high-rise earthquake." Now you are rushing to meet before the two ~ meetings, with a luxurious lineup of business delegations, come over, and you are really stepping on the footsteps of spring. ”

Tang Huan naturally understood what the high-rise earthquake mentioned by his brother-in-law was referring to, and he waited until now to come to China, and the situation he faced was indeed ready.

He stretched his waist and joked: "Little brother-in-law, how do I feel that when I come to Yanjing this time, you always have a gun and a stick in your words?" ”

"That's because I'm not happy with you kid." Meng Qingguan blew his beard and glared at him: "You are not kind to be an elder brother, wow, you called my girl as a coolie for a whole year last year, and your aunt didn't say anything, but I can't agree." ”

"I'm exercising Xiaojing, her current level, it's no problem to study for a doctorate." Tang Huan snapped his fingers indifferently, "Moreover, I also gave my little cousin a generous enough reward." ”

"You can fool me, how rich can it be?" Meng Qingguan asked in disbelief.

Mr. The richest man waved his hand lazily, "You go and ask Xiaojing yourself, she plans to start her own business." ”

"So, last year you squatted in Europe, teaching the British a lesson, and at the same time, you didn't make a lot of money?" Meng Qingguan gossiped "in a poor dagger".

Tang Huan rolled his eyes, "Don't expect me to tell you the answer, you complain again when you save it, and I give Xiao Jing less reward." ”

"Capitalists, the richer they are, the more stingy they are." After Meng Qingguan snorted, he asked loudly: "Lizhi, is the watermelon cut, bring a piece to the little brother-in-law-I talked too much just now, and my mouth is dry." ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Li Zhi took the tray and walked in lightly, "The HN watermelon that was just airlifted over, my brother-in-law is here." ”

"Poor and extravagant capitalists." After Meng Qingguan nagged again, he unceremoniously picked up a piece of watermelon and nibbled on it.

Li Zhiyan smiled, picked up the melon pulp with a bamboo skewer, and fed it to his man.

After eating a few pieces, she said: "Dong Jianhua's cousin Zhang Peiwei is optimistic about the land at No. 1 East Chang'an Avenue and wants to pull me to do it together, but the amount of money required is very huge, it will reach 1.5 billion US dollars, and I am a little unsure." ”

"No. 1 East Chang'an Street?" Tang Huan didn't react for a while.

"It's the children's movie theater." Meng Qingguan took over, "It's a prime location, especially Yanjing is bidding for the 2000 Olympic Games, which has further driven the real estate boom, and many people are staring at it, but it is very tricky to demolish it - if you can eat it, you may not be able to afford it." ”

"You're talking about that place." Tang Huan, who came to his senses, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile - he didn't expect that after he pushed Lizhi to the front and cultivated him as a spokesperson, he would be involved with this big project.

At this time, the phone rang.

Li Zhi walked up, picked up the microphone, and then spoke a few words in fluent English, and then reported to Tang Huan: "The transatlantic call from the United States is Bill Gates, chairman of the board of directors of Microsoft Corporation. ”

"I know why he's looking for me." Tang Huan smiled playfully and took the microphone,

"Tang, you're in China right now, right?" Gates's tone was obviously annoyed, "Can you help me inquire why Microsoft's Windows 3.1 Chinese Simplified Chinese version was ordered to be removed from the mainland market by the competent authorities?" ”

"How can such a thing happen?" The richest man pretended to be surprised and said: "I remember, didn't Microsoft set up an office in Yanjing, how did it reflect to you?" ”

"I was only told that the product violated the law, and let Microsoft check itself, but God knows where to start?" Gates sighed and said, "Tang, didn't you take a huge business delegation to explore the market in China, and take the time to help me ask about the inside story." ”

"No problem." Tang Huan hurriedly said justly: "You wait patiently, I will reply to you within two hours." ”

Meng Qingguan looked at his watch, and then smiled at Tang Huan, who put down the phone: "You are the richest man in the world, and you are still so wilted - it is night in the United States, and you make people wait for two hours, obviously you don't want him to sleep well." ”

Tang Huan explained with a look of injustice: "If I tell Gates the answer now, wouldn't it be a great risk that I would be exposed to being a hindrance; If I wait until tomorrow to reply, it will seem that I am very incompetent in China. ”

"Of course you have the ability, otherwise, the development of the children's cinema site will not find profit." Meng Qingguan broke the news: "I've heard that this project even has the name of Oriental Plaza, which has caused a wave of opposition, and it is believed that the square cannot be called casually; At the same time, the engineering design of the 70-meter-high building also violated the regulations and was beaten back. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Qingguan pulled the words back, "However, if several top companies work together, this project should be a delicious dish worth tasting - it will take three to four years to be built before the return of Xiangjiang, and then the wealth will roll in." ”

"I don't think it's that optimistic." Tang Huan shook his head bluntly, what he thought in his heart was: China's bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games, the political ~ political game in it is complicated, it can be said that the odds of winning are not big; And these days, through contact with the local officials in Yanjing, the possibility of some people's fall does not necessarily change - such variables will obviously delay the progress of Oriental Plaza, which is best described as a good thing.

"You mean, you don't want to wade into this troubled water?" Meng Qingguan was slightly surprised.

"If I retreat in fear, will my glorious image be affected? That's shameless! Tang Huan sighed, and then instructed Li Zhi: "You can participate, but you must keep an eye on it, be prepared for long-term combat, and don't invest money in one go - according to my estimates, this project of 1.5 billion US dollars will not be able to go down, at least 2 billion US dollars." ”

Meng Qingguan gasped when he heard this, "According to your speculation, it is better to take a few more pieces of land in Pudong, Shanghai." ”

"It's a matter of face - in addition to not letting people nag behind their backs and retreat, but also to prevent future projects from being successful and ridiculed." Tang Huan waved his hand and said: "This project at the feet of the Son of Heaven is really eye-catching, we will account for 20% at most, and let those who are willing to be in the limelight be in front." ”

"I know what to do." Li Zhi nodded understandingly.

……

If it weren't for Lizhi's careful reminder, Tang Huan almost released the Gates pigeon and forgot to call him back.

After a little drafting, the richest man dialed the phone and said to Gates, who had obviously been waiting: "Bill, I asked for you, Microsoft's Windows 3.1 Chinese Simplified version does violate the law here......

"Hell, how can this be?" Gates, who finally learned the truth, was going crazy.

You know, Microsoft's products, on the familiar platform of IBM-PC compatible machines, make relatively the most effortless money, and in the context of the shrinking overall market share of IBM-PC compatible machines, even if the Chinese mainland market contributes genuine interests, even the treasure island can not be compared, but it still has the significance of "fly legs are also meat" that cannot be ignored.

But now it's okay, Microsoft can't even get the fly legs somehow so-called, and you can imagine how Gates is on fire.

After trying to calm down, Gates humbly asked, "Don, what do you think Microsoft should do to solve this problem?" ”

Mr. The richest man mused: "The most sincere way is to develop a new version of Windows Chinese Simplified Chinese, such as 3.2." ”

When Gates heard this, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded,

According to the development plan, Windows with kernel version 3 will end at 3.1, and Microsoft is working hard to develop the next generation of operating system - Windows with kernel version 4; In particular, there is a more important network operating system, Windows NT, to counter Novell's network operating system, NetWare.

In other words, Microsoft has no plans to develop Windows 3.2 at all - is it going to open a separate stove for China? But even so, the launch time of Windows 3.2 will have to wait until next year.
