"Mr. Yao, your company's personal computer products are really full of expectations......

After the press conference, Yao Fei also had to bid farewell to the guests at the door of the hotel one by one.

The person who spoke was a person with gray hair who could be called an old man, and this person Yao Fei also knew that Olson, the founder of DEC, who was once among the top 500 largest companies in the United States, had seen it more than once in newspapers or TV news.

This is a legendary figure, self-made, relying on the investment of ARD in 1957 and the opportunity at his fingertips, he started with $70,000, and has grown to a market value of 1.3 billion.

He has spent his entire life fighting against IBM, hating them and claiming to defeat them on IBM's own turf.

At the end of 1953, in order to achieve the $70,000 he wanted to beat IBM, Olson's new company had to promise to pay 70% of the profits of the venture capital company ARD.

In 1965, Olson made a name for himself with the "Matrix", and in 1966, the advent of the PDP-8 computer brought huge profits to DEC, which not only turned the company around, but also since DEC's factory offices spread throughout the Americas, Europe, and the Far East.

It's just that Olson's background as a technician limits his business vision, and he keeps consuming his company's resources by making mistakes again and again, whether it is in the field of large and medium-sized computers or small computers, DEC at this time has been thrown out of a few streets by IBM.

And today, Olsen was also invited to come with his own development and application of new techniques in mind.

"It is a great pleasure, Mr. Olson, to have the opportunity to work with your company......

For this glorious figure who rose and ended, Yao Fei also treated it with a respectful heart at this time.

"Yo, Mr. Olsen, you don't concentrate on research in Maynard, how can you be interested in coming here......"

The person who spoke was a person of the same age as Olsen, but unlike the gentle feeling that Olsen gave people, this person completely gave people a sense of arrogance, and coupled with the tone of his voice, it was really uncomfortable.

"Ellis, I shouldn't be your turn to ask what I'm doing......

Olson feels uncomfortable when he sees someone from IBM, especially this annoying guy in front of him.

Since the release of PDP-8 by DEC, although Apple's vacancy has seized most of its market share, Olsen has more recognition of others.

And IBM's entry into the personal computer market at the beginning of this month made Olson feel sick for a while, where is it profitable, this swarm of flies immediately swarmed.

"That's right, Mr. Olsen, but out of kindness, I have to warn you, your PDP-11 is very outdated, our company's products are needless to say, even this gentleman and Apple's products are not comparable to you, I advise you to go home and work hard before coming up with your new products......"

Hearing this, Yao Fei also frowned, this girl is too unreasonable, she puts them IBM above her own company's products, and wantonly attacks people on her temporary turf.

"Mr. Olsen, you don't think there's any need to be angry with a clown!"

Anyway, it's going to be on the same sooner or later, what's there to be afraid of, isn't it IBM, let's see.

"Ha Luha, who is the clown, let's see the real chapter in the market, see who can laugh the most!"

Ellis also felt Yao Fei's unfriendliness at this time, when did IBM take the small company in his eyes, and he left without looking back.

"I'm fine, Mr. Yao, I've long been used to IBM people, but it's their annoying pride that reminds me all the time and makes me more motivated to beat them......"

Olsen said indifferently, indeed, this year's Olsen is 55 years old, and he knows the destiny of heaven when he says fifty, and he must not be angry for his old opponent with a nonsensical word.

"That's right, Mr. Olsen, this is my business card, and I hope we can meet again......"

"There will be a chance, this is my business card, see you next time......"

Seeing off this legendary figure, Yao Fei also sighed in his heart.

If according to the original historical development trajectory, next year when the old man complacently launches his three baby rainbow machines, it will definitely be a painful blow to him, because there is no advantage in both price and application software, which not only makes his old rival IBM dominate the market for a whole year, but also makes DEC have to carry out the third reorganization.

Now due to its own existence, IBM monopoly market situation will undoubtedly not appear, but at the same time, for DEC, it is also a very big opportunity and challenge, due to the emergence of its own windows system, it will certainly provide some new starting point for other companies' computer product research and development.

However, at the same time, the industry access standards have been greatly improved, and the era of hand-made computers is over, and the next era is the era of corporatized mass production......

After sending away the last group of people in the evening, Yao Fei was also so tired that he lay down, it was really terrible.

Not only are all parts of my body about to run away from home, but my thoughts seem to have become repeaters, constantly repeating polite words such as "please walk slowly" and "I'm honored".

Silicon Valley, home to the global headquarters of Apple Computer, Symantec and Zend.

At this time, Steve Jobs, Stephen Woznick, and a group of people from Apple Computer sat around a TV with solemn faces......

"Jobs, this is not good news for us, look at the company's products, the graphical system interface, the mouse, isn't this what we saw when we worked at the Xerox Parker Institute the year before?

It stands to reason that this is only going to be on the Lisa we're designing, and the guys at the Parker Institute are so focused on inventions that they don't realize the huge commercial value of these things......"

Woznek whispered to Jobs next to him.

At this time, Apple was still in the incubation period, although the unprecedented success of the Apple 2 allowed Apple to set a record for the fastest time in history to go public within five years.

But times are advancing, and Jobs is no longer just catering to the PC market.

Apple felt it needed a newer, more advanced model to participate in the enterprise computer market.

The designers of the Apple 3 were forced to follow Jobs' extremely high and sometimes unrealistic requirements, and it is said that Jobs felt that the cooling fan was "unelegant" and therefore omitted, resulting in computers that were prone to overheating, which forced the earliest models to be recycled.

In addition, due to Apple's consistently high prices, the market is completely tilted towards IBM.

"Woz, although we are very reluctant to believe that this is true, the facts are already in front of us, and we cannot accept it.

Now the most important thing for us is to accelerate the research and manufacturing of Lisa, strive to regain the market as soon as possible, and continue to create our brilliance.

Of course, for this company's products, we can absorb their advantages and turn them into the advantages of our own products......"

Although Yao Fei has also ordered someone to apply for a patent for his product as soon as possible, this cannot stop people's enthusiasm for imitation.

And imitation is not piracy, even if it is sued to the court, it will not fundamentally solve the problem, at most it is a long-term tug-of-war, injuring the enemy for 1,000 and losing 800, even if the lawsuit is won, people will already make money in their pockets.

The same situation is also played out in the Parker Institute, but most of these genius scientists with strange personalities feel surprised that the research results of their own research do not appear in their own products, but are applied to other companies' products.

However, Taylor, the director of the Parker Institute, did not think so at this time, and Xerox has always tried to further connect Parker's research direction with the company's main business in recent years, but has never started from the research of the institute itself to explore their research results.

As a result, in the end, the results of his research appeared in other people's products, and he made wedding dresses for others.

He was already dissatisfied with Xerox, but at this time he felt even more dissatisfied, and he was eager to go to New York immediately to find Kearns Theory and make him realize the company's own mistakes......
