Chapter 5 Microsoft's Actions
August 23, 9:30 a.m. U.S. time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Bill Gates, who just went to work today, took the love breakfast made by his wife who had only been married for a year and ate it with relish, and at the same time looked at a report and plan for the release of windows95 tomorrow with a smile on his face.
Smash his mouth, Bill Gates is a pity that Gerstner can't attend tomorrow's win95 conference, otherwise he would like to see Gerstner's face after attending the win95 conference. After adjusting IBM's main business from hardware to software and services in 93, Gerstner faced the impact of Win95, how did IBM's PC-DOS compete with Win95. Of course, the best outcome would be for the damn capitalists at IBM to remove this nasty guy from his position.
After dissolving the cooperative relationship with IBM and Apple in 1991, although Microsoft had a certain influence, it was not difficult to terminate the contract thanks to the market cultivation of nearly ten years before. As long as he thinks of what happened to Apple, Bill thinks of what happened to his old rival Steve Jobs, and laughs, what poor capitalists, short-sighted capitalists. Apple's market share has dropped from 16 percent to less than 8 percent, and Apple wouldn't have been so bad if Jobs had been at Apple. Of course, he will not be better than being squeezed out of the chairman because Jobs insisted on spending money on operating procedures, and now it seems that Microsoft has one less big enemy.
Gates, who was happily imagining a bright future for Microsoft, was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door, and after scolding the bastard in his heart in a depressed manner, he said in a flat tone: "Please come in!" β
"Bill, you've got to look at this software!"
It was Paul who came in. In 1986, he joined Microsoft as Executive Vice President of Platform Strategy and Developers, and was one of five members of the Executive Committee, which oversees the overall management of the company. At the time, he was known as Microsoft's No. 3 man, behind Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.
In fact, Paul. Mariz is one of the main developers of Win95, and thanks to his abilities, Gates values him but is also very good friends. At first sight, it was Paul. Maritz and Gates are in a much better mood, after all, whether the company can move forward depends on these heroes.
Listen to Paul. Malez was serious, and Gates had to pay attention to it, and at the same time got up and got out of the way to let him put the disc into the drive disk.
Wait for Paul. After Maletz installed it, Gates hurriedly put his head up to watch the incredible software that Maletz was talking about. As a result of his background in software development, he was able to debug and install the program in a short time.
The color screen suddenly dimmed, and after about 15 seconds, the desktop operating system of Gates's computer was no longer the desktop system of win95, which had not yet been released, but the desktop system of win98, which had not yet been released.
Bill squeezed Paul down. Maritz's position,Do back to his original boss chair,Sliding the mouse,Staring at the picture in the computer,Skillfully control the mouse familiar with this unknown operating system,Compare with win95,Only to find that although there are not many added functions,But it is good enough,Complete the company's upcoming release of win95γ
The more I played, the more I found the perfection of this operating system, and then the mood became heavier.
The win95 operating system is not yet a tightly integrated operating system, but an operating system that needs to be supported by MS-DOS, but the compatibility between systems is very good. And this mysterious operating system can run on computers, which shows that this desktop operating system is very compatible.
Bill's mood is very messy now,This desktop operating system is very compatible with MS-DOS,This is Bill's biggest headache,Not to mention win95The innovative start button and this mysterious desktop operating system is a nested list in a multi-layer menu,If you can't get the copyright of this program,This will have a huge impact on win95 salesγ What's more, this time, Microsoft is pinning its hopes on the user graphical interface operating system in the operating system of win95 to end the chaotic form of competition in the user interface operating system, so as to lay the leading position of the operating system in the same way.
Collecting his heavy heart, Bill spoke to Paul. "Paul, where did you get this desktop software?" I think I've got to meet this guest. β
After learning about and understanding this desktop operating software, Paul immediately thought about the impact of this software on the whole Microsoft and its importance to Microsoft. So he immediately put down his work and rushed to see Bill immediately. At this time, seeing Bill's gritted teeth, Paul felt the same way.
Sending this desktop operating system at this critical moment is indeed very suspicious, and it is basically certain that this is the other party's robbery to ask for benefits, otherwise why not send this software to other software companies.
With a slight twist of his mind, Paul figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing. Regarding Bill's culture, he also quickly responded: "This is the software I got from an email sent from China." β
"China?" Bill remembered the scene at the beginning of the year when the board of directors made a decision to set up Microsoft Research in China. According to the company's research and the results of the data intelligence company, China's IT industry is still basically a blank, so Bill was skeptical of Paul's answer, "Paul, are you sure the opponent is Chinese?" β
"That's right, sir. The person receiving this email is Chinese, so I'm pretty sure the other party is Chinese. Paul replied to Bill's suspicions in a positive and serious manner.
"Alright! Paul, don't be mad at this damn Chinese guy, I'm just surprised that the Chinese can write such perfect desktop software. Bill stood up and patted Paul on the shoulder, and said to Paul affectionately, "Paul, go to work!" Tomorrow is Microsoft's most important moment, and there is no room for error. β
"How is this software..."
"Go to work, Paul. I'll call Du later, and I'll leave it to Du to deal with this matter. β
After sending Paul away, Bill immediately sat in the boss's chair and dialed Du Jiabin's phone from the Beijing office of Microsoft China, and after a short while, Bill heard Du Jiabin's voice from the earpiece: "Hello, Mr. Bill!" β
Hearing the inadvertent yawn in the earpiece, Bill reacted and quickly said thoughtfully: "It's 11 o'clock at night in China now!" Du, you have to cherish your body, and it's not too late to do your work tomorrow! β
Du Jiabin heard the satisfaction in Bill's tone, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, I don't know what I need to do when I call this time?" Say it! β
"Du, I'll give you a mission this time. I will give you carte blanche to acquire a desktop operating system called Palm Fun from a Chinese named Liu Si. After the call, I will ask someone to email you basic information such as Liu Si's contact information and home address, and you should pay attention to it. β
"Yes, sir."
After a few words of condolences to Du Jiabin, Bill hung up the phone, and at the same time instructed someone to send an email to Du Jiabin about Liu Si's contact information, home address and other basic information. Then the day of office life began!
