Chapter 0294 Polar Bear Thinks Software Is Expensive
"Without their previous inaction, there would be no results of the cooperation between His Highness and me." Tang Huan laughed loudly.
"Don, your interest doesn't seem to be entirely on this team." Charles' eyes flickered and he asked.
"There are too many toys, and it is inevitable that there will be some neglect of one or the other." Tang Huan snorted a haha.
Neither is stupid, and don't try to mistake the momentary sluggishness of the other person's reaction as eternal stupidity.
So Tang Huan gave Charles a reassurance, "I am still very concerned about the team's results, and I expect it to enter the first division, so that the peripheral value can also be reflected." ”
"That's right, your investment vision is naturally very broad." Charles nodded in relief, "Then let's take a break and go to the next stop." ”
……
Among the top universities in the world, the University of California, Berkeley, which has the closest relationship with Tang Huan, followed by Stanford University in the center of Silicon Valley, and other major universities on the West Coast.
And in these places, Tang Huan is definitely the idol of young people full of entrepreneurial enthusiasm, and many elites either plan or actually enter the enterprises under Tang Huan's name, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have poisoned many people.
But the situation of these people is actually much stronger than the invisible software programming "code slaves" under the glorious light of Microsoft in the original time and space, at least not like this company, throughout the 1980s, except for the operating system DOS without formal competitors, almost every product was abused by peers and ended miserably.
As for the university exchanges in the UK, Tang Huan really hasn't had any noteworthy interactions with them.
But. Charles gave Tang Huan a chance.
Of course, this is also thanks to Christina's casual shopping habits.
When Charles sent the real estate information to the female ship king as requested, he often got a direct response. Not bad, let me take a good look.
Charles, who was full of anticipation, waited for a few days and did not get a reply, so he quickly took the initiative to contact.
How's it going? The fields of this estate are beautiful.
It's ok, but I don't think it's grand enough.
Charles was speechless for a while, and hurriedly sent the information to the castle.
As a result, the female boat king still dragged on like this, but the reason was changed. It's a bit desolate, or rather, lacking in humanity.
What is this? It's too speechless to comment like this.
Originally, Charles thought that it was very simple to do business with Christina, a loser girl, and he also reached an agreement of principle with Tang Huan in the middle, but he didn't expect that he would repeatedly hit a wall in the implementation process.
Charles, naturally, would not have thought of it. Christina, who was already very headstrong. After giving birth to twin babies, the center of life has completely shifted, and the thoughts in my head often change like that of children.
But then again, even if he thought about it, Charles couldn't bear to be so yelled at and drunk, and as the wedding date approached, all sorts of things multiplied. He has less and less energy to juggle the matter of making extra money.
So, Charles devised the last set of sales plans. and brought Tang Huan here, had a direct dialogue, and strived to complete the battle.
And the facts have also proved that Tang Huan is really good at talking, and basically accepts it all.
The property that Charles is selling this time is Durham Castle in the city of Durham, which should be landscaped, imposing, humanistic and humanistic, and absolutely not related to desolation, because it is now being used as a student apartment by Durham University.
I have to say that the dignified Royal Highness the Crown Prince Charles really worked hard to block all of Christina's pickiness at once.
Moreover, he also took care of Tang Huan's taste, didn't you ask me to help promote Zheru certification and training in the UK, what is more suitable than to carry it out in a university?
Charles is very active, and the excuse for his successful lobbying for Durham University is that times are different, and it is irresponsible that Durham Castle is still used as a student dormitory by you, so it is better to sell it to private individuals and let them maintain it, and at the same time the other party has promised to build a state-of-the-art computer center at Durham University. The benefits of all kinds are innumerable, whether light or dark, and you should be able to figure them out.
Not to mention, Charles, who worked hard, did what he liked this time, Tang Huan accepted this plan in his heart from the beginning, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could be elected as the best salesman of the year.
Located 21 kilometres southwest of Sunderland in north-east England, the River Weir flows through Durham from the north and surrounds it from east, south and west, creating a "peninsula" of small loops.
Obviously, in the era of cold weapons, a place like Durham is a place where soldiers must fight. The same is true of its medieval history, which has been a major centre of political and religious power due to its proximity to Scotland and its strategic importance.
The Durham area is mountainous and has a noticeably higher piece of land in the centre of the city, where the famous Durham Church overlooking the River Weir is located.
The target of the trip, Durham Castle, was built in 1072 on top of a hill on the Durham Peninsula on the Weil River, separated from the Durham Church by a palace lawn.
In the 300 years since Durham Castle was built, Durham was besieged by the Scots several times.
In 1346, the Battle of Neville's Cross broke out one mile west of Durham Castle.
During the Hundred Years' War between England and France, King Edward III of England led a large army to attack France across the sea, and King David II of Scotland was invited by King Philip VI of France to try to defeat England on his home turf from the rear of the empty garrison.
However, Scotland was defeated and captured by David II, and a large number of important nobles, including a regent, were defeated and surrendered, and England won the first phase of the Hundred Years' War.
This history is naturally talked about by the victors, and Durham Castle is a testament to this.
By 1837. Durham Bishop Howard? Mattbeth donated Durham Castle to Durham University as a student residence, and some of its existing buildings were newly built in modern times. Quite Victorian......
In Tang Huan's impression, a few years after the original time and space, Durham Castle was awarded the title of "World Heritage" by UNESCO.
Therefore, looking at Charles, who was dancing with his eyebrows and introducing him diligently, Tang Huan was very skeptical, could this deal really be successfully completed?
So, in the next process of contacting the relevant parties of Durham University. Not only did he keep an eye on himself, but he also asked his entourage to carefully gather information.
Charles found the British technology base for Zheru, and Tang Huan was still very satisfied.
Durham University was formally established in 1832 by an Act of Parliament. and was granted a royal charter in 1837.
However, Durham University's history of teaching and research dates back more than 600 years, and it is one of the first universities in England to be opened, making it the third oldest university in England after Oxford and Cambridge.
Just because historically. Cambridge and Oxford have been worried. Once Durham University was granted the right to confer degrees, it would have had a huge impact on their status, which hindered the delay until 1832.
At that time, Durham University was financially supported by part of the church's property allocated by the priests and the holy objects, and Durham Castle, which served as a student dormitory, was one of them.
The reforms brought about by a 1907 Act freed Durham University from the hands of the Bishops of the Anglican Church and the Sacred Ones, who until then had been nominally in charge of the school.
After decades of continuous development. Durham University has become the world's leading university in the modern world.
With such a background and strength, Tang Huan can't be dissatisfied.
As part of the itinerary arranged by Durham University, a visit to the Museum of the Orient. left a deep impression on Tang Huan
The museum was built in the 1960s and developed significantly through the merger of the former Institute of Oriental Studies.
The original collection of the Institute of Oriental Studies, which was used for teaching at the university, was so large that it had to be built in a museum to store a large number of materials.
"So far, there are more than 30,000 collections of art and antiques from the Mediterranean to the Far East, with more than a third of the collection related to China." The narrator proudly introduced.
Tang Huan bowed slightly, picked his thumb, and said in his heart, you old colonial robbers, you are strong enough! Even the bedding was not spared.
"I intend to donate those artifacts, including Roman gold coins, to this museum." Tang Huan said to Charles next to him, "In addition, I am also considering donating funds for the construction of student apartments and other facilities for Durham University." ”
Charles was overjoyed when he heard this, this result was too face-saving for him.
In fact, this is Tang Huan's cleverness, and the benefits sent can always appropriately exceed the other party's psychological expectations.
In the end, Tang Huan, Charles, and Durham University were all happy, and the reason was nothing more than that they all thought they had taken advantage.
As far as Tang Huan and Christina are concerned, they used a treasure that Britain would not let live or die to take away, and exchanged two bases, and at the same time brushed their faces in various ways.
Don't look at the superficial joy, Tang Huan bought the legal documents of Durham Castle, but asked experts to think carefully, so as not to have all kinds of entanglements after it was rated as a World Heritage Site in the future.
All in all, the issue of the ownership of the treasure, which had been tossed for nearly a year, was finally perfectly resolved under the mediation of Prince Charles, who was about to get married, and the English media generally reported positively.
After sending a satisfied Charles away with a check, Tang Huan took a closer look at Durham University to determine the construction of the Zheru certification and training center, and announced that a supercomputer using the Cui Peng/Holder architecture processor would soon be installed here.
After returning to London,Tang Huan took the time to go to Li's Yingsheng to take a look,Although he bought Li's TV from the other party as he wished,There's nothing else to ask for,But he is still quite concerned about Li's Yingsheng's e-commerce achievements。
Wait to meet CEO Michael? Aldrich, Tang Huan learned that the other party was struggling with a problem, that is, when providing B2B e-commerce solutions to enterprise customers, should they use Li's own TV-like terminal, or use Fangyuan computer.
Under Tang Huan's technical guidance. Michael, who was already a pioneer in e-commerce? Aldrich is eating crabs with more and more confidence, and the business is carrying out impressively. The authority of the company is increasingly consolidated.
But because of that, Michael? Aldrie Wizards is worried about the choice in front of him, customers are already like addictions, more and more inclined to use Fangyuan computers, but the terminal that sells itself will be more profitable.
For Michael? Aldrich's dilemma, Tang Huan laughed secretly, not to mention a terminal like you RadioShack garbage TRS-80. Even the Aikang computer, which is known as the British Apple computer, belongs to the miscellaneous fish that will inevitably be eliminated.
"Don, what do you think I should choose? Or. Can you take care of it a little more on the Fangyuan computer discount? "Michael? Aldrich actually asked Tang Huan about the countermeasures.
"As long as you meet the standard of Fangyuan computer shipments, the discount is easy to say, otherwise there is no need to talk about it." Tang Chang waved his hand again and again, and then made a joke. "If you become a significant distributor of Radius computers in the UK. I'm going to have to turn around and beg you and offer a discount. ”
"You're clearly hinting to me that you're using your Fangyuan computer." Michael? Aldrich shook his head and sighed.
"Well, think for yourself, I still have to go to France." Tang Chang muttered to himself, "You will soon have no choice", and got up to say goodbye.
……
Christina, whose body recovered as usual after giving birth, can be described as enthusiastic, and she met Tang Huan for a few minutes. I changed the place of conversation to the bed, and at the end of the peak stage. screaming to give birth to a daughter.
Tang Huan slapped Christina's buttocks loudly, and scolded angrily, "Are you so crazy, you are about to be twisted, have you forgotten how to cooperate?" ”
"Don't mind, dear, I haven't done it for too long, and I can't master the heat." Christina flatteringly sent a series of fragrant kisses.
Tang Huan couldn't help but smile, gently wiped Christina's sweat, and praised: "But your living habits have indeed improved a lot, the effect of participating in sports is obvious, and your waist and legs are more powerful." ”
"Of course." Christina puffed up her chest and said in the midst of the waves, "I still have a fight." ”
"If you want to fight, then fight." Tang Huan replied through gritted teeth.
As a result, the smoke of gunfire rose again, and the heads of the two families fought selflessly.
……
"You're here in Paris to help me deal with Olympus." Satisfied, Christina, pillowed Tang Huan's arm and said lazily, "The Soviet Union thinks that our software products, especially databases, are too expensive, and their first deputy minister of foreign trade wants to talk to us in person, I don't want to pay attention to them, you can help me deal with it." ”
Tang Huan nodded, for well-known reasons, Christina was disgusted with the Soviet Union, but for the sake of business, she had been holding back, so she had little interest in arranging a meeting with the other party's senior officials.
……
The Soviet Union had to wait for a while, so Tang Huan took the time to inspect it, which in his opinion can be called the world's most advanced wafer factory - Fab1.
In all fairness, the progress of the construction of Fab1 is phenomenal, and the French authorities have given great support, otherwise it would not have gone so smoothly.
At present, Fab1, which uses 100mm wafers and 1.5 micron process process, mainly produces high-end chips.
For example, the RISC architecture processor Cui Peng/holder, but it still needs to solve the problem of low yield.
There's MC68000, but it's a new version.
At Tang Huan's strong request, Motorola further updated the instruction set of the MC68000 in accordance with the virtualization standard proposed by Popek and Goldberg in 1974, such as adding new features such as virtual memory support.
In fact, Intel's next-generation 16-bit CPU, the Intel 80286, has similar characteristics, but Intel calls it protected mode - different from the real mode of the Intel 8086.
Because Intel is currently affected by IBM, such as the production and shipment of CPUs, it tends to be the blue giant, which makes the relationship between Tang Huan and Intel a little delicate, and naturally, the importance of MC68000 has become more and more prominent.
The protection mode feature of the new version of the MC68000 is of great technical significance, as it means that it is now possible to implement a multitasking operating system on a PC.
Originally, after the emergence of the 80286 that supported the protected mode feature and the 80386, the next generation of 32-bit CPUs, the personal computer industry had the possibility of realizing a multitasking operating system in the 1980s.
Among them, Kildare, a digital research company, has launched a similar product with this feature support.
It's just that at that time, the entire personal computer operating system market was almost dominated by Microsoft and IBM, and the only end for any challenger who dared to take the lead was to be crushed to pieces.
From this point of view, Microsoft and IBM, who only think about their own interests, hinder the progress of technology.
In this time and space, Microsoft and IBM are still mixed together, and it is estimated that if this development continues, history will still repeat itself.
Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention to the shady scenes, he had his own plan, since MC68000 had achieved close to the point of perfection in terms of hardware feature support, so many tasks The research and development of the operating system was given priority to the graphical user interface.
……
After finishing the affairs of the Fab1 wafer factory, people from the Soviet Union also arrived, but the origin of the other party surprised Tang Huan. (To be continued......)
