The most brilliant thing about this computer is its novel graphical interface, but before that, Lin Johnson's Pentium Computer Company, Compaq Company, and Dell have all launched their own graphical user interface systems, which is a system that integrates graphics and surfaces and WYSIWYG and mouse functions, which has been widely used in personal computers.

Since the Windows trademark has long been registered by Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson's operating system is called Vista, and now it has been upgraded to Vista 2.

The Vista operating system had one flaw or another when it was first launched, but now that the operating system has been in development for more than two years, the company has been adapting it to hardware and software developments, and patch versions have been released many times, making it more and more convenient to apply. Moreover, the market share is far ahead of other companies' operating systems, Microsoft is also interested in releasing its own Windows system, and Bill Gates is not willing to monopolize the market only in the DOS system.

Apple was the first to think of the use of personal computers in technologies such as graphical user interfaces, and several of Lin's companies are latecomers in this regard.

But unfortunately, Apple made a mistake, and the price of its first-generation graphical interface product, the Lisa personal computer, was as high as $9,995! Although Jobs's appeal was great, it was not so good that it made consumers stupid, so their first-generation graphical interface system suffered an unprecedented failure!

Jeff, the initiator of the Mac Computer Project. Ruskin actually didn't want the name of this computer to infringe on Lin Johnson's trademark patent at first, but the trademark Mcintosh he loved at the beginning had already conflicted with another audio equipment manufacturer, and he added a letter Unexpectedly, when he searched for the patent, the name had already been registered by Lin Johnson, the boss of Dongxing Company, and the two names could not be used for a while, which made Ruskin very desperate.

In the past two years, Apple's main product personal computer, has begun to decline after the rise of IBMPC and Compaq, Dell and other computer companies, at this time, its product market share has fallen from more than half of the market share in the most glorious period of 77 ~ 80 years to less than 90,000 units per year.

At the same time, IBMPC and compatible computers swept the PC market with excellent performance and pleasing appearance. IBM PCs sold 700,000 units in '83, and nearly half of the other market share was occupied by large companies such as Compaq, Dell, and Pentium.

Jobs suffered setbacks in his business, and his personal character revealed some great shortcomings, the most direct of which was that he was more arbitrary than in history. It was also the beginning of a major disagreement with the board of directors and most of Apple's executives, who had long since grown to hate the all-powerful dictator, and Mr. Jobs was not a good guy to get along with. Yelling, scolding, and accusing is almost the image he left for his employees!

When Jobs decided on the trademark name of the Apple machine this time, he insisted on infringing Lin Johnson's trademark patent, which was to recognize the intention that Apple could afford to drag it out even if it was a lawsuit, and finally Apple had the opportunity to win the market!

Chen Bin, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, personally called him to tell him that the Dongfanghong-2 experimental communications satellite, jointly developed by the Fifth Research Institute, the Space Research Institute, and many domestic departments, was tentatively scheduled to be launched at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on 29 January.

This is a test communication satellite launched in China, which was launched by the Long March-3 carrier rocket that has just been developed and assembled, and this is also the first time for the Long March-3!

If all goes well, the three communications satellites ordered by Lin Qiangsheng will be launched in April.

Chen Bin invited him to visit the launch process at the Xichang Satellite Center, and Lin Qiangsheng gladly accepted.

Earlier, he had promised Mary Gretel to take her on a tour of China's satellite launch. Lin Qiangsheng thought that with the successful development of the Long March-3 carrier rocket, China is about to enter the international satellite launch market, and in the future, there will be more and more international exchanges, and the country is obviously much more generous than ordinary people think, and he is not afraid of the prying eyes of other countries.

While waiting for Mary Gretel to fly in from the United States, Lin Qiangsheng discussed with Li Jing in the United States how to deal with Apple's infringement actions.

As the main liaison of several computer companies in the United States, Li Jing is now nominally the president of Pentium Computer, but she is also the main sponsor of Dell, which she built together with Dell's operations department according to Lin's vision. Then he retired and chose a credible CEO to operate, while Li Jing was also responsible for contacting Compaq's business.

This time, Apple infringed on the trademark rights of Dongxing. Dongxing also needs to make Apple feel angry, and a lawsuit is a must!

But instead of going to court, what Johnson & Johnson wants more is what benefits he can get from Apple, and the chips that Apple now uses are mainly 68000 processors. This is a Motorola product, and Lin Qiangsheng wants to use the chip processor produced by Dongxing Electronics through this lawsuit. He even envisioned that the two sides could cooperate on the operating system and graphical interface technology, and Apple's technology was also very good!

But what Lin Qiangsheng wants most is to get in touch with Jobs. In order to get the original shares of Apple in his hands when he leaves Apple next year, at the end of '85, when he is ready to sell his stake in the company!

This time Mary came much faster than before, the CIA had been prepared a month earlier, and this time she brought an agent and two other engineers to look like Americans, at first glance, it looked more professional!

Lin Qiangsheng greeted them. Looking at the three men behind Mary, two engineers were brown-haired and blue-eyed, one of them wore a pair of glasses, and each of them carried a large suitcase.

Lin Qiangsheng whispered to Mary: "You should be careful this time, although China intends to participate in the international satellite launch market, it will be very unsightly if you do too much publicity!" ”

Mary raised her hands in a gesture of surrender and said, "Don't worry, Lin! This time we are your entourage, and you can treat us as consultants! After your satellite is launched, Dongxing will set up a communications center in the United States, and we, the CIA, must be responsible for national security, and you should also cooperate with us! ”

Looking at Mary's smiling face, Lin Qiangsheng nodded helplessly, which is why he had to cooperate with Mary and others.

If Lin Qiangsheng wants to build a global communication system like Wal-Mart, he must set up communication stations in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, which is a matter of US national security. It is not easy for Dongxing to pass the approval of the CIA, the FBI and the Homeland Security Agency, and it may require the nod of the US Department of Defense, he really didn't expect it to be so difficult at first!

But even Wal-Mart has no plans to build a satellite system right now, and the company probably didn't try to use it until around the 90s.

Lin Qiangsheng wants to emulate this company, Wal-Mart's logistics management is the most advanced in the world, they let their supermarkets realize the Internet of Things, products from the factory to be purchased by customers are recorded through satellites, through satellite communication Wal-Mart has achieved the whole process of recording the life of the product!

If Dongxing takes the lead in making this system, it will also create a model of business management, at least the initiator of an industry standard!

After the two got into the car, Mary looked at the luxurious Cadillac and then looked out the window at the desolate north. On the outskirts of Beijing, she said with some emotion: "Every time I come to China, I feel as if I have arrived in another world, where there are no high-rise buildings and no long traffic!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at Mary looking back at him, and he said with a smile: "You won't feel it in a few years, now China has attracted a lot of foreign-funded enterprises, and the development speed is very fast, and the American AMC Automobile Company even established a joint venture with a local enterprise in BJ to establish a jeep company!" If you want to take advantage of this craze to make a fortune, you can become a millionaire or even a multimillionaire billionaire as long as you represent an American product to sell in China! ”

Mary smiled and asked, "Are you bribing me?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Do I have it!" ”

Mary smiled and then nodded and said, "If I don't do this, I really might come to China to make money, thank you for the idea!" She laughed amused at the thought of herself.

The two laughed for a while, and suddenly Mary's laughter stopped, and the atmosphere in the carriage became inexplicably embarrassed, and after a while, Mary suddenly asked Lin Qiangsheng: "You didn't tell the Chinese side about our action this time, did you?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said: "I didn't tell them, I will introduce you as engineers hired by me in the United States, I hope that the two people you bring can withstand the curiosity of domestic people." ”

Mary's expression relaxed, and she said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, our engineers are definitely the best in satellite communication and rocket technology!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng waved and said: "You still have to be cautious, I don't want the people you bring to be so curious like groundhogs, just stop and observe!" After all, it's not just the United States that can build a communications center, I can also build a communication center in Mexico, and although it's cumbersome to ship equipment there, it's really not as complicated as the United States! ”

Mary nodded and said, "Lin, we also came to China because we considered this possibility, and we will evaluate your plan fairly!" ”

"Actually, it's a commercial project, it's really nothing!" Lin Qiangsheng said helplessly and sighed secretly.

After all, he is a Chinese, with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, even if he has so much wealth in the United States, so big investment, so many employees, but Americans are always on guard against him! (To be continued.) )
