Chapter 403: A Glimmer of the Future (Ask for Subscription)

If you don't go to Mi Country, you don't know how unspent money is.

A few days ago, Xuluo was still making a big wish to buy Apple and exchange Pixar shares for Jobs.

Now don't talk about billions, even tens of millions of dollars, which can force Xuluo to be anxious.

He is now a little skeptical that he was wrong to sign a patent contract with Sony for VAIO.

I knew that I received 128 million US dollars from them and a buyout, wouldn't there be no worries now?

But it's useless for you to overturn the past now, and you have to look forward to everything.

came to Mi Kingdom, Xuluo's purpose is not all showbiz-related things, he still has a lot of questions to answer.

For example, Xu Luo is interested in the NOKIA mobile phone that appeared in "Hello Beijing".

In this world, only Xuluo knows that NOKIA's future development must be good.

Even if it is only a well-known mobile phone manufacturer in Europe, it has not yet developed in Asia.

But if a brand can be sold in China, and to the point that ordinary taxi drivers can use it, then its sales must be very good.

Think about how many Chinese people there are?

With this Chinese market alone, Nokia may have made a lot of money, right?

So if there is a chance, Xuluo will definitely make a fortune with Nokia.

This is what Xuluo sometimes complains about - the products that come with movies and TV series are not also a hint of future memories?

It's like INDOS95.

Microsoft Corporation, a software company based in Seattle, has now launched the INDOS computer window system, and it has been greatly developed.

Because of its good performance, Microsoft has been booming since it went public two years ago.

Since Xuluo "saw" the INDOS95, it would not be released until 94 at the earliest.

There are still more than 2 years left for Xuluo in the middle.

As long as Xuluo can raise funds during this time period and buy a large amount of Microsoft shares, then once the INDOS95 is launched and Microsoft's stock skyrockets, Xuluo will get a large amount of income.

Coupled with the acquisition and investment in Nokia shares, the two are combined, will Xuluo still worry about the funds for making movies in the future?

Not to mention one "Jurassic Park", even ten "Jurassic Park" can be done!

It's a pity that it's all far water, and it can't save the near fire.

Even if you can make a lot of money with two investments, it is impossible for me to double it in a month or two, or four or five times in three or five months.

It definitely takes a period of precipitation, such as one or two years, three or five years, or even seven or eight years, to make a lot of money.

All those opportunities to get rich are hard to come by.

Let's not mention these beautiful distant dreams.

In order to let himself understand those electronic technologies, Xuluo specially invited an expert in the industry to help him explain.

The expert, Costa, is a veteran editor with a double Ph.D. and more than 10 years of experience in electronics magazines.

For such talents, the consulting fee is also very high, 2,000 US dollars per hour.

Well, it's equivalent to the salary of the six leading actors of "Friends" for one episode.

The first question Xu Luo asked was the pros and cons of Microsoft's Windows operating system and Apple's computer operating system.

….

Costa was happy to explain to Xuluo.

Inside the cloth stitching monster, he occupied a small conference room, standing directly in front of the blackboard, writing and talking.

"First of all, I want to state that I'm a big fan of Apple computers." Costa said: "Apple, under the leadership of Steve Jobs, created the first true personal computer in human history, and he gave the personal computer more lifelike features, including a mouse, sound, an operating system for a graphical interface, a cursor,

windows and so on.

This set of graphical interface operating system, known as CssMOS, is really a great achievement in the history of computers, it is the first time that all functions are interfaced, and it is run in a single system, and you no longer need to install it separately, which is very friendly to computer novices.

Microsoft's INDOS system is plagiarized and simulated from CssMOS in many aspects, including graphical interfaces, cursors, windows, sounds, displays, etc., so Jobs has always looked down on Microsoft, and Apple has been suing Microsoft for infringement."

Xuluo laughed as he listened, "Mr. Scott, please don't be so inclined! Otherwise, it will affect my judgment."

THIS GUY CALLS MICROSOFT'S INDOS WORTHLESS, BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

At least in the current view, Apple's MOS operating system is no match for Microsoft's INDOS system.

So he brings this question up in the next sentence.

Costa nodded, "You're right, now in the market, with the exit of Steve Jobs, Apple computers are gradually reduced to mediocrity, but they are still the number one computer company, and Apple's computers are still the first choice for people who really understand computers."

However, Microsoft's INDOS system is really menacing, and with the emergence of computer assembly companies such as Dell and Compaq, a large number of personal computers have begun to be sold. They can't get Apple's MOS operating system, so they can only buy Microsoft's INDOS system."

The young man said, "I know that Jobs is reluctant to let other computer companies use Apple's operating system, but since he has left, why doesn't Apple open it. What about putting your own MOS operating system? Since it's good, better than INDOS, people are more willing to use it, right?"

Costa likes young people like Xuluo.

Not only is he rich, but he can be invited to explain with a high salary, but he also really understands these things, so that when he tells it, he will not play the piano to the cow.

The topic should be understood by everyone, then the conversation will be interesting.

"Because Apple believes that only the MOS operating system used on Apple computers is the most appropriate, and the MOS operating system used by external computers is not under their control, and it is easy to have problems." Costa replied, "One of the great things about Apple computers is that their operating system works well. If they take out this operating system, how can they sell their own computers?"

"After talking for a long time, it's a conflict between open source systems and closed systems, right?" Xuluo also checked a little information before.

"You can say that."

Costa said, "But more importantly, there is a clash of ideas between the two! Steve Jobs believes that the source of creation should be protected, while Bill Gates believes that sharing is what computer operating systems should do."

….

"So Microsoft's INDOS system is open source to all creators, while Apple's MOS operating system is a closed loop for all creators, and they can only create each software development by themselves."

"Yes." Costa said, "That's the case."

"Who do you think is more likely to succeed?" Xuluo asked again.

"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems that there are more people in Microsoft's INDOS system, and more software developers are willing to open it. The creation of the platform, they come in one by one, will inevitably cause more and more software that can be used in the INDOS system.

On the contrary, Apple's MOS operating system is too closed, and although there are many talented engineers in their work, they are definitely not as good as the thousands of software engineers and enthusiasts. The longer the time goes on, the more obvious the gap between the two becomes."

I wanted to know how good Microsoft's INDOS system is and what the future development prospects are.

As a result, industry insiders like Costa have long seen that Microsoft's future is promising.

It seems that the idea of picking up a bargain is not so easy to achieve.

Second, Xuluo is thinking

We want to see if Apple has a future for development, after all, this is the Pixar you want!

After a deep sigh, Xuluo asked him, "How long can Apple last?" Will it go out of business?"

"Of course it won't go out of business."

Costa gave his opinion, "Apple has always had a group of loyal customers, such as me! Although I use some Microsoft INDOS computers for work, my favorite is the Apple computer, its charm is incomparable! As long as we are around, we will continue to buy Apple products and keep them alive."

"Are there many like you?" "I mean, is it enough to survive in the face of increasing competition?"

Costa was silent for a moment, then said, "I believe it can!"

Look!

This guy is a dead duck with a hard mouth!

He himself doesn't actually confirm it, but he simply doesn't want Apple to go out of business.

But if the current development trend continues, who would want to live with such an unrepentant computer?

So Xuluo asked, "Do you think if Jobs returned to Apple, would he still be able to save Apple?" I met him two weeks ago, and he was always selling his ideas to people, and he was adamant that Apple was the best, that Apple's MOS operating system was the best."

Costa smirked, "He does that every time he goes to a party like this, but it shows his persistence...... But all the industry experts are not optimistic about him, and they all feel that he is a thing of the past. In the future, Apple may only be a small company that serves the inherent population."

Speaking of this, Costa couldn't help but sigh with a smile on his face.

Xuluo coughed lightly: "Then do you think that Apple's market value may fall to four billion, three billion, or even one billion dollars?"

Costa shook his head and said, "I don't know about the stock market, but a company that doesn't have any future is probably worth much!"

….

The boy laughed.

After Microsoft's INDOS95 comes out, it must sweep Apple, and a large number of assembled computers with the INDOS system will frantically suppress Apple's Apple computer sales.

If Apple's stock keeps plummeting, then you can use the money you make from Microsoft to buy Apple stock.

When the acquisition reached a certain level, or at least I could control the power of Apple, I took the stake and went to Jobs.

I don't believe that in his mind, Pixar will be more important than Apple!?

When the time comes, let him live in the shabby little company of Apple, and I will take Pixar to fight the world.

Hahaha!

What a deal!

……

In a good mood, Xuluo began to inquire about the second knowledge - the development of mobile phones.

Costa regarded Xuluo as a child from a poor and backward country, and was deeply fascinated by the advanced electronic technology of developed countries, so he actively understood the state of these things.

At this time, he had a feeling of being a teacher.

"The mobile phone was originally a communication tool for the space program, and then it developed into the military." "Since Motorola created the first mobile phone for civilian use, the most important thing is not the quality of the phone, but the range of use.

At the end of 1978, our Bell Laboratory successfully developed the world's first mobile cellular telephone system, AMPS, which was tested in Chicago five years later and began to be rolled out throughout the United States.

It's been nearly nine years now, and although it can't be rolled out to every corner of the United States due to the cost of mobile phones, the construction of the call network, and other factors, people can make mobile phone calls to each other in our top 100 cities."

Xuluo has long had questions about this, "You said, it's been 9 years, why can't you make global calls yet? Like what

Say that from Mi to Europe, to Japan, to China?"

Costa laughed, "How can it be that easy? This involves the construction of our communication tower system, the difference in technical standards, TDMA, FDMA, CDMA and other multi-code methods, as well as the proposed modulation technology such as GMSK, 4FSK, QAM, ADPM and so on.

However, now Europe has achieved the first generation of global technology on July 1, which was completed by a Polish mobile phone company called Nokia, and this technical standard is collectively known as GS/M.

In my opinion, it also has another interesting point, which is the use of a user identification module - a SIM card. This card has an identification function that allows you to securely connect your phone to the Internet."

He didn't understand these esoteric technical things, but when he heard Nokia's name, he immediately became excited.

"Does Nokia's achievement mean that Nokia will achieve unlimited achievements in the future?" The boy asked.

"This is not something that Nokia can do alone, it is a Europe-wide supply. Putting the interface settings and unifying the standard will make GS/M a common standard in Europe." "From then on, it will only be three to five years before everyone adopts the GS/M technology standard and will be able to make mobile phone calls all over the world," Costa said. This is what you said about the country of Mi fighting to Europe, and the country of China hitting Italy."

….

After a pause, he added: "However, our AMPS system is also constantly developing, as long as it can cover other countries and regions, it can also achieve the function of GS/M and realize global calls. It's a pity that it hasn't been negotiated yet, and only Mi Guo can use it."

Xuluo nodded, "If this makes it possible to make global calls, then more and more people will use their mobile phones, right?"

"Theoretically, yes, but the high price of mobile phones and the high cost of calls are important factors restricting the rapid adoption of mobile phones," Costa said. If these two problems are solved, then maybe everyone will be able to have a mobile phone in the future!"

It's unlikely that everyone has a mobile phone, but it's still possible for three or five people in the city to have a mobile phone.

The year was 2008.

It's still 17 years away.

Xuluo wanted to tell Costa what the mobile phone would look like in the future, what the communication technology would look like in the future, and how widespread it would be.

But now I can only hold these words in my own heart, and no one can say it.

It's a very uncomfortable thing!

But he also made sure that now that GS/M, the standard for Europe-wide implementation, has been set, Nokia's growth is unstoppable.

Costa didn't know that Huaguo would definitely use the GS/M system in the future, otherwise Nokia's mobile phone would not be able to support the system set by the Mi people.

Therefore, if you have money, you should buy Nokia shares in advance.

It's a pity that I'm short of money everywhere now, and where can I get a lot of money to buy stocks?
