In a situation where the vast majority of venture capital is cold-faced, is Ross Perrault fooled by Jobs into taking $20 million for a NEXT company with no actual operating income?

Of course not!

At this level, Ross Perrault's pursuit is definitely different from ordinary people.

Money, he is not lacking; loss, and no distress; What I really want is adventure and a sense of accomplishment after a challenge. This can also be seen from his past experience.

EDS's main customers are the U.S. government, and as a result, its activities are quite extensive.

At the end of 1978, on the eve of the outbreak of the revolution in Iran, two executives of electronic data systems companies working there were arrested by the local government on bribery charges and released on bail of up to $12.75 million for their involvement in an anti-corruption campaign.

At the time, Ross Perrault was still the owner of the company, and he immediately sought out a lawyer to rescue him. But the wave of revolution that broke out soon after made the situation in Iran chaotic, and it was no longer feasible to pay for people.

Ross Perrault acted more decisively, enlisting a retired U.S. Army Special Forces colonel to assemble a team to go to Iran to rescue him. He even went to the front line to supervise the battle.

You must know that at that time, Ross Perrault was already a real rich man, which shows the adventure gene in his bones.

Fortunately, although the rescue process was tortuous, it was finally successful, and the people were diverted to Turkey and returned safely to the United States.

Based on this event, Ross Perrault invited the famous British mystery novelist Kenhmart Infollett to write a novel called "Onwings of Eagles" - "Above the Eagle's Wings", which was published in 1982 and became extremely popular, and once occupied the top of the bestseller list.

Obviously, this adventure has brought Ross Perrault a huge reward of prestige.

Now, everyone looks down on Steve Jobs, and Ross Perrault plans to take a gamble on this entrepreneurial star he admires to prove that he is different from ordinary people.

The mentality of the Texas billionaire is reflected in the declaration when he threw out $20 million to join the company. He said to Jobs: "I pick jockeys, and jockeys pick horses and ride them, and you are the jockeys I bet on, so you do it." ”，

After chatting with Jobs for a while, Tang Huan understood the relationship. He had to be convinced, Jobs was a man of great luck, just like a female star who dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family, and he really caught a golden beetle son-in-law.

"With this funding and Ross Perrault's attention, your next can survive for a while." Tang Huan finally commented positively on the financing.

Hearing the meaning of Tang Huan's words, Jobs was unconvinced and let out a bold statement, "The previous Mac is not necessarily worse than your Fangyuan personal computer, but it was launched in a bit of a hurry, which is insufficient in performance, after expanding the memory to 512KB and listing the hard disk as an optional configuration, it is enough to be useful." So, my next will definitely not be inferior to your Fangyuan workstation. ”

"Judging from the kind of performance that you still prioritized and did whatever you wanted in the development process of the Next project over the past year, the development progress of Next is likely to be as difficult as Mac."

Tang Huan warned mercilessly in the posture of an expert: "Do you understand the true meaning of rapid technological development? Now that it's almost 1987, when will your next reach the level of real commercial use? It won't follow in the footsteps of Mac, it will take three or four years. If you really had to wait until the 1990s, it's hard to say if your next would be ahead of the curve in terms of object-orientation. ”

After so many years of competing openly and secretly, although he didn't admit it, Jobs was already convinced by Tang Huan in his heart, and one of the major manifestations was that he was able to listen to Tang Huan's words in his heart.

Therefore, for Tang Huan's advice, Jobs did not start a donkey temper in annoyance, but nodded with an ugly face, "You don't have to provoke me, the $3 million can't be wasted." In another year, you'll be waiting to see NEXT's stunning debut. When the time comes, the protagonist on the dex will only be next. ”

After making a sonorous declaration, Jobs, who didn't want to listen to the lessons of Tang Huan, a special shareholder who took 10 percent of the shares for only $3 million, got up and left.

Tang Huan shook his's big fool will have at least half of the water in his words, and the one-year time he claimed is estimated to be at least fifty percent more.

It doesn't matter, though. The $3 million, in Tang Huan's view, is just a ticket. When Jobs makes a noteworthy move, he can use it to make an impact.

As for now, just let Jobs toss, IBM is the most worthy target.

……

The opening time of this year's Las Vegas Fall DEX was deliberately postponed to early December. The reason is naturally to provide more preparation time for the participants of the new round of personal computer standard wars full of gunpowder - the harder the parties fight, the more exciting the DEX will be.

Big Blue's new generation of personal computers, PS/2, has naturally become a major focus of this exhibition.

IBM CEO John Eks was present in person and released more than a dozen models of the PS/2 in one go. Bill Lovo, head of IBM's personal computer division, announced that the IBM-PC/AT series products are nearing the end of the production cycle, and the company's future personal computer product focus will be completely shifted to PS/2.

This decision of Bill Lowo, and his predecessor Don? Estlic's approach is pretty much the same.

At that time, after the introduction of the IBM-PC/AT with Intel80286 microprocessor, Don? Estrich announced that IBM will shut down the IMB-PC/XT production line with Intel8088 microprocessors, completely ceding this field to the emerging IBM-PC compatible machine manufacturers to compete with each other.

As a result, the implementation of the strategy proved to be ill-conceived. At that time, the market demand for IBM-PC/XT was still okay, Don? Estlic's voluntary withdrawal allowed IBM-PC compatible machine manufacturers to take this opportunity to develop and grow, and launched IBM-PC/AT compatible machines to compete with the blue giant's genuine IBM-PC/AT, and the result was a great victory.

Now, Bill Lowo has copied Don? Estlic's approach was to abandon the production of the previous generation of the IBM-PC/AT after the introduction of the new generation of personal computers, the PS/2.

But the biggest difference between the two is that Bill Lowo absorbed Don? The lesson of Estrich is that although IBM-PC/AT has withdrawn from the stage of history, the target customer group targeted by IBM-PC/AT has not been abandoned, and even the previously lost IBM-PC/XT market is ready to be recovered.

The biggest support for this ambitious project is the new architecture of PS/2. Among the large number of models announced, only one product has an Intel80386 CPU, and the rest use Intel80286 and Intel8086, which is not comparable to the shrunken Intel8088.

Obviously, IBM is launching a strictly authorized and newly designed PS/2 to distinguish itself from those IBM-PC compatible machines, and at the same time, it also intends to "settle inside before the outside", and to eliminate the territory that IBM-PC compatible machine manufacturers rely on to survive and grow, and eliminate this group that sucks blood from itself.

In other words, Tang Huan's side is like a big enemy for the appearance of PS/2, but PS/2 aimed the first attack target at the IBM-PC compatible machine.

A little green among the flowers. Among the first batch of PS/2 models, the PS/2-8580, the only one with a 32-bit Intel80386DX microprocessor, is particularly eye-catching.

This is currently the highest-end IBM personal computer product, and the bus architecture is exactly 32-bit MCA.

It can be said that for a comprehensive understanding of the freshly baked MCA, the PS/2-8580 is the best evaluation platform.

……

"The PS/2-8580 should be IBM's most powerful personal computer, but it still can't threaten the mid-range model of Fangyuan personal computer, and the CPU running frequency alone is almost doubled." Charles Simeone, who had collected information, came to Tang Huan to report non-stop.

"That's because we have the most advanced fab in the world, which in turn allows us to build the most powerful microprocessors." Tang Huan helped Charles Simeone pour coffee while commenting with a smile, "Moreover, I can be sure that in order to hit me in the early days, IBM used to play the trick of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and wantonly hoarded the microprocessors Intel8086 and Intel80286 used by IBM-PC, and it is estimated that it has not been processed yet." ”

After taking a sip of coffee, Charles Simeone continued: "From the preliminary judgment, although the operating system OS/2 carried by the PS/2 is also powerful, the execution performance is obviously slow, and the optimal memory capacity must reach 2MB. ”

"In this way, there is still a high threshold for the marketing of PS/2." Tang Huan laughed meaningfully.
