Chapter 7: Unexpected Troubles

With the team in place, the next step is to be sure to capture the personal computer market before IBM launches the so-called first personal computer in the true sense of the word next year, history will only remember the first person to eat the crab, and the same is true of the market.

Although next year's IBM launch is not a good product, it is only a 16-bit computer, using a 4.77MHz Intel8088 microprocessor, 64K memory, and a 5.25-inch floppy disk drive, the operating system will use Gates and his little friend Microsoft's pirated Microsoft DOS hard disk operating system (DiskOperatingSystem, disk operating system), that is, the initial DOS system.

Because of the tight schedule and the complexity of the program, Microsoft had to buy the rights to QDOS, an operating system, from Patterson, a programmer in Seattle, for only $50,000, and then give the system to IBM after a partial rewrite, and name it MicrosoftDOS.

Relying on the power of the blue giant, the popularity of IBM-PC also made MS-DOS a huge success, because other PC manufacturers wanted to be compatible with IBM, MS-DOS was licensed in many companies, and it was because of Gates's wise business decision that it became the standard operating system for PCs in the 80s.

This is unimaginable in the 21st century, even home PCs with multi-core and several GHz CPU frequency, a few G of memory and TB-level hard disk capacity, not to mention hundreds of server memory, dozens of CPU cores, and tens of thousands of network cards, which is like a chasm compared to the gap, and where does the hard disk capacity of the computer at this time come from, in addition to the system, almost all the data is recorded on the floppy disk, of course, there are old-fashioned cartridges.

Floppy disk drives are an indispensable part of today's computers, and they can even boot up computers for people when necessary, and of course use them to pass or back up smaller files.

Although the computers of this era are particularly simple, Yao Fei is not willing to use IBM's first-generation personal computers to meet people, because if the level is similar, it is easy to make IBM dissatisfied, and then mistakenly think that Yao Fei has plagiarized their ideas, and then have resentment in his heart, the blue giant energy at this time should not be too terrifying.

They beat their old rival DEC to the brink in the large-scale super-large computer and server market, occupying the vast majority of the market share, and both capital and power are far from being comparable to Yao Fei.

Since you have decided to do it, and you are destined to be an opponent in the future, then you will make a one-time move, fiercely shock those self-righteous pride of the sky, make them feel powerless once, and then honestly roll back to their original large and super-large computer and server fields.

If you decide to do it, your mother-in-law and mother are not Yao Fei's style, recruit seven new people, and then divide them into two groups according to computer hardware and software.

Computer hardware, Yao Fei directly asked them to take the disassembled Xerox Parker's internal computer for technical research, and asked them to list the name of the research equipment they needed and then report it to Yao Fei, and then he purchased it.

Scientific research has always been a money-burning activity, but fortunately, the components of computers are not too precise now, even the highest-end Intel microprocessors have only integrated tens of thousands of transistors, otherwise Yao Fei really has to wonder if he can make a small splash in these millions of dollars.

As for the software, Yao Fei personally pointed out the direction of the way forward for them, which does not cost too many resources, only needs to be streamlined and improved according to the existing computer operating system at this stage, and add the set of call commands.

Time passes day by day, Yao Fei's company's personnel are also increasing in several cases, and the work is also carried out in an orderly manner, because Yao Fei pays the money quickly, the various equipment for the study of computer hardware technology has also arrived quickly and one after another, as for some too high-end and can be of significant help, Yao Fei now wants to buy it and can't afford it, one can make it bankrupt.

For the first generation of computers that he is about to launch by Feiyue Technology Company, although Yao Fei wants to directly assemble them according to the computer structure of later generations, as long as he compares the existing computers a little, Yao Fei knows that his idea is simply a fool's dream and extremely naïve.

Although his knowledge reserve is rich enough, but it is only a general concept of the whole, it is impossible to be specific to the details of each technique, not to mention that the current use of the old-fashioned technique to the extreme, that is to be in the continuous exploration of the right seat, after understanding the principle, and then can use their own advantages to improve the technique, so as to avoid detours and save valuable time for themselves.

On this day, Yao Fei took his software engineers to code the letters again as usual, and when Yao Fei proposed to write a graphical operating system that everyone could understand, everyone thought that their boss's head was caught in the door.

None of them knew what the precedent was for this, and even the concept had just been told by their boss, and as for the way to achieve it, oh God, spare them poor children.

Although it is undeniable that the salary offered by the boss is relatively generous, please keep them away from this madman, if he wants to be crazy, don't drag everyone to go crazy with him.

It wasn't until Yao Fei showed his skills and skills a little in front of everyone that these guys were a little more honest, and they officially recognized Yao Fei's extremely bold plan, since the boss is so confident, as employees, they can only bite the bullet, anyway, the salary is still taken, and the boss asks them to do whatever they want.

Just as Yao Fei's five fingers were quickly typing the input characters on the keyboard, suddenly the cursor of the teleportation technique that kept showing the teleportation technique on the screen did not move, and the cursor of the input content on the keyboard was only flashing in place, but the characters just couldn't be entered.

I tried to delete the characters, but I can delete them normally, and then enter them, and the input amount is only the same as the deletion amount, and if I want to continue typing, I still can't succeed.

What is the situation, anyway, Yao Fei's head was stunned at the time, and the crash is not this way of death, even with his knowledge reserves, he has never seen this situation, and he can only save it in desperation, and then copy it to a new floppy disk very carefully.

Then continue to study the reasons for the previous situation, some people will say that Yao Fei can completely skip this situation and ignore it.

However, Yao Fei knows that this is the professional field he is currently engaged in, and now that he has encountered this situation, he must find out the reasons and then find out the corresponding solution.

In the final analysis, an information technology company is still a service company, and the products produced by the company are also, if other people encounter such a situation in the future, if their own company has the ability to solve it, this is not a source of income for the company.

The scientific community, pay attention to professionalism and authority, mastering exclusive technology is also an absolute advantage, with this advantage you can always make yourself in an absolute leadership position, but once you lose this advantage, then you can only mix a soup role at most, this is still lucky, bad luck A lot of money smashed into it has no effect, and the vast majority of companies that break the capital chain and go bankrupt are because of this situation.

Problems are not terrible, just be patient to solve them, and know that Lu Dao is looking for a solution in the fault, which is also an indispensable part of the accumulation of skills.

Just like the vulnerabilities of the Microsoft operating system in later generations, it was not at the beginning of the design that even they did not know where the vulnerabilities were, but as long as they found something wrong, they would definitely solve it as soon as possible, so that in the end Microsoft became a business empire, an empire of operating systems and software.

Their systems dominate people's computers, and they are also in the application software market, and their business rivals are trying to avoid a head-on confrontation with them, even Joe's Aplle company has not taken advantage, and this is the effect of the absolute advantage accumulated over a long period of time......
