Chapter 9 PalmFun OS in CBM
Jack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Info Tramil founded ModoReBusiness Machines, abbreviated as CBM, in Canada in 1954, but it was too different from IBM. But CBM also had a spring, spending $30 million in the mid-80s of the 19th century to buy the then popular Amiga, and then launched the ModoRe64, which is a classic personal computer, and sales are also extremely hot. But then Jack. Trammel's successor caused CBM to deviate significantly from the company's strategy, causing Dell, Apple and other companies to catch up, and eventually CBM had to sell off part of the computer production business.
Jay. Mira is the CEO of CBM, and Amiga and ModoRe64 are loyal users who give him a lot of support and vision, but this time, contrary to the historical disobedience, Modore is about to go out of business.
Chu Jay. When Mira took over CBM, the media and Modore people touted him, believing that he would lead CBM to glory. However, within a few months of taking office, CBM could no longer sustain itself, and he was worried that it would be a stain on his career.
The board guys were haggling with the German ESAG to get a good price, so Jay was supposed to get out of class. Mira has not been fired from the board. So he came to his president's office at 8:00 in the morning, which is still dedicated and dedicated.
CBM's current predicament is very serious, the company's original main business personal computer business was sold, and other software service business, hardware equipment production business and other businesses can not compete with competitors in the same industry. Of course, the most important point is that the company's financial situation is not optimistic, it has been losing money for two consecutive years, there is not much cash left on the books, and the possibility of hoping that the directors of the board of directors will inject capital again is not much greater than that of a sow can go up the tree.
Jamila, who was thinking about the future company's strategy, was interrupted by a sudden and urgent knock on the door, and Jay, who was ready to be fired. Mira didn't have the CEO's shelf, but said lightly: "Please come in." β
Coming in was the company's vice president, Heinie. Dave, Jamila & Henie. Dave is a veteran of CBM, and although there is competition, the relationship is very good.
"Old man, our CBM is saved." Heane excitedly rushed to Jamila, pulled Jamila up, sat down in a chair, opened CBM's mailbox with the computer in the president's office, pointed to the first email in it, and said, "Mr. Jamila, you have to look at this." β
The email was wrapped in Liu Si's program software, and as a technical vice president, Heinie was very skilled in installing this software on this 486 computer, and then got up and gave way to the position, "Old man, try it, this program is very unusual!" β
Jay. Mira sat down in her chair suspiciously, looking at the percentage of the program installed, and he was puzzled.
After waiting for a while, the progress finally reached the percentage, and suddenly a strange and pleasant music came out of the stereo. Didn't get too hung up on the music, Jay. Mira was fascinated by the delicate desktop images on the computer in front of her, which was historically the default desktop theme for Windows XP, BISS.
"This is a desktop operating software system, which is much better than the win95 released by Microsoft two months ago, which is worth promoting." Jamila commented on the Palm operating system.
"No, no, no, man, this is not just a desktop operating system, it integrates the Inter standard, unifies and simplifies the desktop with Inter technology, so that users can find and browse information stored on personal computers and the Internet more quickly and easily; Second, it's faster and more stable. By providing new self-maintenance and update features, it relieves users of a lot of system administration and allows them to focus on work or gaming. Heane, who speaks in high spirits, is not a management executive, just a technician, "and his merits are so far ahead of Bill's asshole that if we had this product, we would have surpassed Microsoft." β
While Henie gushes about the benefits of this operating software, Jamila can't wait to explore the operating system called Palm Fun on her own.
Half an hour later,Jemila finally realized the power of this software,He simply exploded windows95,Although I feel that a lot of it is windows95 technology,But win95Isn't there any plagiarism from other software? Jay. Mira saw that the software was in danger of infringing Microsoft's patents, but Jamila was not concerned about that.
In 1994, Microsoft was released because of Windows 3. 0γwin3γ 1. The problem of monopolizing the market has fought a battle with IBM, Apple and other companies in the US High Court, and the sworn enemies of Microsoft such as IBM and Apple will be very happy. Once again, in the face of the market size of hundreds of billions of operating system market, Jamila did not hesitate to choose to have this more interesting operating system.
Once there is a proper profit capital, it is bold, and if there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a 20% profit, it becomes active; With a 50% profit, it takes risks; For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime and even risk going to the gallows.
Jay. Mila is now just like a capitalist mentioned by Marx, in the face of high profits and a huge market, he knew that Palmfun had the possibility of infringement and did not hesitate to choose the Palmfun operating system.
"Henie, we have to take this operating system, and if we miss it, I don't think Allah will forgive us." Jay. Mira jumped up excitedly and hugged Henie and roared.
"Old man, we have the same opinion, but it's not that easy!" Heiney sighed and said with some slurring.
"Do you mean the company's money?" Jay. Mira patted Hayney on the shoulder, "Don't worry, man, I'll take care of this as long as you take care of this operating system." β
"It's not about funding, I think as long as we get this software to the board, those guys can't wait to send us money. The difficulty lies in the fact that the developers of this software are in China. β
"In China?" Jay. Mira's eyes widened in surprise and she looked at Haynie in confusion, "Man, are you sure you're not kidding?" Are you talking about China Taiwan? That's incredible! β
"No, no, no, sir, what backward red country is China in my mouth?" Heane hurriedly waved his hand to deny.
Jay. Mira stared at Haynie without blinking, hoping that he would deny what she had said, but in the end, Haynie was still affirming the correctness of what she had said, and finally opened the original email to show Jamila. Jamila had to believe in the truth of the matter.
"Man, you go get a visa and buy me this operating system. It doesn't matter if the developer is in Taiwan or in the red country, I just want you to take this operating system. After confirming that the developer of the Palmfun operating system was in China, Jamila immediately asked Henie to go to China to negotiate with the unfamiliar developer.
China in the 95s was poor, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection was eager for foreign investment. So Hainie's visa was easily processed at the Chinese Embassy in the United States. And Heinie also booked a direct international flight to Beijing the next day after the visa was issued.
