Don't talk about Louis. Guo Sner was shocked, even Tang Huan is now very big, and he said that the semiconductor factory he invested in separately in order to avoid Intel's EEPROM patent dispute actually appeared to help IBM-PC with hardware optimization, which is really ironic.

However, Tang Huan thought about it and was relieved.

No matter which industry has unlimited business opportunities, it will produce a wind of technology copycats due to the disturbance of interest flow. Gordon. Campbell's gang just happened to be there.

You know, there are many talented people in Silicon Valley, even if Gordon. If Campbell's gang doesn't do it, it can't be avoided that others will take this step in the same flash of inspiration.

It can be said that this cottage wind, the micro level is accidental, but the macro level is inevitable, it is nothing more than who the flowers fall to.

It is widely recognized that there are only two companies that have done the best in the personal computer industry - Fangyuan Computer and IBM.

The so-called low technical threshold of the personal computer industry is relative to the mature small computer and mainframe, and in fact, not everyone can do this "simple" product well - the things produced by small workshops will certainly not be able to compete with large factory manufacturing in terms of commercial maturity.

For example, compatibility and consistency between the previous generation and the current flagship product, as well as the next generation of products, as well as bus-based scalability, etc.

It's not easy to get a design solution that really has the whole picture and smooth transitions.

Just like Apple's Apple II, Apple III, Lisa computer, and MAC, they are separated from each other and fight separately.

Another example is Commodore, which has been a big hit in the field of cheap personal computers, and there are often incompatibilities at the system level between each generation and different models of the same generation.

Liu. Ogbrecht summed up the experience of various previous personal computers, drawing on the successes including the BIOS. IBM-PC was launched.

Although it is not the best, its moderation just hits the right balance, coupled with the golden sign of the blue giant, and then quickly won the recognition of the market.

It's just that Fangyuan's personal computer design and manufacturing ideas are more condescending and overall, and IBM-PC has to be relegated to the second position.

It is precisely because of this market disadvantage that the head of IBM-PC, Tang? Estellić picked up the double-edged sword of exposing the IBM-PC technical specifications.

In the beginning. Do the players in the industry follow the Don? Estlic's idea was to use these technologies to launch a functional expansion card on the IBM-PC platform.

But when Compaq opened the door to IBM-PC compatible machines, it suddenly dawned on everyone that we don't need to be so pure, and we can make more money with this free technology licensing.

Now, Gordon. Campbell's gang tried to replace IBM-PC's own chip with a more streamlined design chip with the same function, which will undoubtedly completely defeat IBM-PC in terms of cost.

Of course, Tang Huan likes to see the blue giant lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, but once this cottage wind blows. It is bound to greatly increase the market share of the IBM-PC standard, which is what he does not want to see.

All things considered, the tiger had to be kept in a cage as much as possible. Although it will eventually come out of the cage, it can be delayed for as long as it can.

In this way, I can more or less buy a buffer time, so that the Intel80286 and multimedia models of Fangyuan personal computers can occupy a favorable position in the market as much as possible. Squeeze the living space of cheap IBM-PC compatible machines in advance.

All in all, if you can't beat your opponent. Then the idea is to reshuffle the cards, change the rules of the game, and devalue this set of integrated chips based on Intel 8088.

However, this is only a stopgap measure, once the Pandora's box of non-authorized compatible machines is opened, it cannot be controlled, with Intel80286 IBM-PC/AT. It will definitely be the target of the next copycat.

Tang Huan has now only come up with a rough outline of the overall layout, and the details still need to be improved.

"Don? Estlic, I guess you're still in the dark, and you don't know that IBM-PC is going to run into the biggest trouble from within the camp. No matter how much IBM-PC compatible machines are sold, the money will not fit into IBM's pocket. You're misleading yourself. It's so tired that I have to wipe your ass for you. ”

Tang Huan, who looked at the time, muttered while picking up the phone and calling Louis. Gerstner, let it put Gordon. Campbell's gang, and the idea of integrating chips, try to be within the scope of Seeq; Also inform John. Chambers, start launching the Intel80286 model of Fangyuan Computer immediately, don't wait for the opening of COMDEX this spring.

……

Like Gordon. There are not a few people like Campbell who have the great opportunity of the times, and Wang Jing of Xiangjiang can be regarded as one.

The film "Flower Heart" directed by him recently won more than 9 million at the box office in DreamWorks Theaters, although it did not break the iconic figure of 10 million, but considering how much shooting cost and production time he used, his ability to attract money is too much for investors.

In stark contrast, although Xu Ke has also achieved remarkable results in "The Legend of Shushan", with a box office approaching 20 million, and even created a new film genre, it is also necessary to see how much money he spends on special effects, which is not something that ordinary bosses can support.

However, Wang Jing's outstanding performance also made the Shaw Brothers company restless.

The cast of Guy Yin's "Flower _ Heart", in addition to Zhong Chuhong, Fu Sheng, Xie Xian, Chen Baixiang, and Liu Xuehua are all from Shaw Brothers.

Compared with the movies it has produced in the past two years, which often end with a box office of two or three million in Hong Kong, the box office of "Flower Heart" at least shows the fact that this veteran film company has problems in the mechanism of using artists.

Compared with the dismal operation of the film business, Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" supervised by Wang Tianlin achieved unprecedented success after its premiere on TVB, breaking the ratings record set by the TV series "Family Change" in 1977.

Suddenly, the achievements of Wang Tianlin and Wang Jing, the father and son, in TV series and movies, are reflected in each other, and it is rumored to be a good story in the circle.

However, Wang Jing didn't have time to enjoy such compliments, at this time he was busy in his own Jing Dynasty company, and Guy Tang Huan gave him a big production, so big that he didn't dare to take it lightly. (To be continued......)
