Chapter 228: The richest man is only

When Windows 95 was first listed, there was no real Chinese version. The real Chinese version was only released in March 1996, and the current ones are upgraded on the basis of Windows 3.0.

This is also why, Gates can see at a glance that the learning machine is not a pirated copy, but a copycat.

Because of such a complete Chinese version, they don't have it at all now. After the shock, Gates also took it personally.

The graphical interface, start menu, taskbar, zoom out, and other groundbreaking features of Windows 95 are basically there.

It's just that compared to the official version of Windows95, such a system transplanted to the learning machine is undoubtedly rudimentary.

It's even a lot worse than Windows 3.x, which also runs on 16-bit machines.

But such a system is special. It is difficult to make a thing from ordinary to fine. But in the same way, it is more difficult to make something complicated and simple.

Gates, who understands this, has to sigh that China is worthy of being a country with a history of 5,000 years.

When science and technology develop, talents emerge in an endless stream, which makes him full of surprises every time he comes.

Putting down the operating mouse in his hand, Gates took a few steps back and gave up such a learning machine to Buffett.

After trying it out, he felt an indescribable mood. Some are funny, some want to scold, and there is even a kind of depression that is punched and can't fight back.

If such a system is directly pirated from the beginning, he can also carry out a targeted operation.

But such a streamlined Chinese version of the system obviously has a lot of their own things.

Even if there is a Windows source code, there will not be much, and it is very likely that there will not even be any. After all, there are IBM's OS/2 and Linux open source systems on the market.

There are still many places that can be bypassed by this kind of learning machine system. Gates, who knows a lot about software, put himself in it and thought about it.

If it is him, on the premise of understanding the underlying logic of Windows, give him half a year, and he can also achieve such an effect.

It is mainly upgraded on indows 3.x version. Many of the underlying designs of Windows have been studied for a long time.

As long as you understand the 3.x version and then transplant the groundbreaking features of Windows 95 to the 3.x version, you can basically achieve the current effect.

As for the very eye-catching functions on the PC, such as mobile dragging, long file names, plug and play, etc., on such a learning machine, it is not very needed.

In a developing country like China, there is not much they can do about 100% piracy, let alone imitations like this on different devices.

So even if they go to court, they don't have much chance of winning the lawsuit. What's more, what is in front of him now is not a problem of copycat imitation.

It's the strength of such a company. The mobile phones I saw before, USB flash drives, and DVDs are just hardware things, which doesn't have much conflict with Microsoft.

Even if they enter the PC, they can still cooperate with Microsoft. But now the strength shown in the software has made Gates, as a businessman, vigilant.

If they are just for simple implantation, they don't need to study the underlying logic of the Windows system at all.

Unless, they want to make their own system too! Coming to this conclusion, Gates did not have the sorrow just now.

Before Windows 95, Microsoft also had competitors such as OS/2.

Judging from the current market reaction, Windows 95 has sold 7 million sets in the global market in the eight weeks after it was launched, and it has taken the lead in the individual user market.

Even if they do develop a personal operating system, it is unlikely that they will compete with Microsoft for the market.

"It's really a stuff full of oriental philosophies, and if they had appeared a few years earlier, they would have become a competitor to Microsoft." After a little operation, Buffett put down the mouse in his hand and also came to a conclusion.

"Hahaha!" When they heard this, the people, who understood the meaning of the words, burst into laughter again. Technology is sometimes so ruthless, slow at a time.

Moreover, Microsoft's system is not simply a system, it represents the entire x86 ecosystem, and if you want to challenge Microsoft, you must face all the manufacturers that depend on this ecosystem.

As long as you have a little brain, you won't do it, after all, it's the world's No. 1 business alliance.

"I think they are also selling software, didn't you just say that they have a lot of stores across the country, how about Bill, should Microsoft try to cooperate with them." Gates' initial shock did not escape Buffett's eyes.

After really getting to know each other, both knew that Microsoft had lifted the threat. He made this proposal out of Microsoft's considerations.

Not to mention using them to open up the market, tying such a powerful company to the chariot can also effectively put an end to piracy.

"It's a very good proposition, and we might be able to consider it." was treated like this by Buffett, and Gates also reminisced.

With the technical strength that BBK is currently showing, if they want to, they will definitely be able to make a pirated version of windows95.

With the current price of $220 for Windows 95, it is destined not to have much sales in the Chinese market.

But if such a powerful local enterprise is pulled into its own chariot, it may have a miraculous effect.

At worst, it will eliminate a potential pirate. After speaking, Gates glanced at the assistant behind him, this kind of thing will be handled by the following people, and he came to China this time to take a look.

After walking around, both of them felt very novel, such a Huaguo enterprise has made so many achievements in Huaguo quietly.

Even if they don't go out, they will survive well in China, but as long as you look at their aggressiveness on DVDs, you know that they will not be satisfied with sticking to a corner.

"It's going to be a very good investment, and it's a little tempting for me now." Coming to the stall waiting for the checkout in front of the service desk, Gates said from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, I'm starting to look forward to this trip to China, and they are really amazing. You see, surprises are everywhere. As he spoke, Buffett motioned for Gates to look at the help desk.

At this moment, Zhou Huijuan was already starting to help settle the settlement. The scanner simply scans a few items of goods, and the automatic settlement function of the cash register shows the price.

"Hello, a total of yuan. Do I need to help you apply for membership, you can enjoy membership discounts. At this moment, Zhou Huijuan had already packed her mobile phone and USB flash drive, and asked about the membership by the way.

Gates didn't take the things, and someone did the things they paid.

"How much is the membership discount?" Buffett on the side heard that there was a discount, so he asked casually.

"According to your consumption amount, you have reached the points of our intermediate overseas members, and you can enjoy a 9% discount. The discount is .8 yuan. [Recommended, the source change app chasing books is really easy to use, download it here.huanyuanapp, you can try it soon.]

Zhou Huijuan quickly operated on the cash register, and an automatic member discount price appeared.

"That's a great deal!" Warren Buffett smiled and admired, stretched out his head to look at the operation interface, everything was clear at a glance, which made him more interested in this cash register tool.

"Please help me get one."

"Okay, you'll need your name and phone number and address so we can mail you your benefits." While speaking, Zhou Huijuan quickly operated the member registration on the cash register.

At this time, Gates also followed Buffett's example and stuck his head out to look at the cash register with a small display.

"This is the cash register?" Facing the cashier interface full of Chinese, thinking of Zhou Huijuan's operation process just now, Gates confirmed it to Buffett.

"I think so, cash registers with systems, it's a surprise everywhere." Among the companies that Warren Buffett has invested in, there are many retail companies, and even large supermarkets such as Wal-Mart.

Electronic cash registers, since the emergence of the early nineties, the supermarket retail industry in the United States has been assembled in a large area.

But it was the first time he had seen such a convenient cash register device, and it also integrated the membership function, which had to be said to be definitely a big innovation.

From a businessman's point of view, it is more than twice as convenient and faster than Yamazaki's all-in-one cash register.

The direct result of such efficient and convenient equipment is the streamlining of personnel and the reduction of management costs.

Supermarket retail is a high-frequency and low-profit industry, and management costs account for a large proportion of corporate expenditure. Every percentage point increase is a very huge profit, which can completely change the pattern of the industry.

The reason why Wal-Mart can eat all over the world is because of its powerful management system. While other supermarkets are still bearing up to 4-5% of the annual management costs, Wal-Mart has reduced the management costs to 3% with scientific management.

This one-point gap alone allows them to easily defeat a large number of opponents. And such a cash register, if used in Wal-Mart's supermarket system, the effect is absolutely subversive.

In the management of supermarkets, queuing theory is a very important topic. The length of queuing time directly affects the quality of customers' image of supermarkets.

The improvement of efficiency has always been the focus of supermarkets.

"......" Gates did not speak again this time, and today's backgammon is a little too subversive of his perception of Chinese enterprises.

Although when he came to China half a year, he knew that BBK was a very potential technology company.

But in just half a year, so many products have been produced, and they all have strong innovation capabilities. Such companies are rare in Silicon Valley, which is known for its creativity.

"Well, is Bill interested in accompanying me to visit their headquarters, I heard that their head office is in Shenzhen." In just a short period of time, Buffett's assistant has already summarized some of the information about backgammon that he found on the phone and reported it to him.

As long as they are not stupid, the entourage knows that these two elders have developed a strong interest in this company.

"It's just a simple trip, and I don't want to mix too much work into it." After thinking about it for a while, Gates still agreed, but just reminded Buffett not to forget the reason for this trip.

"Of course, this is the only one." Warren Buffett nodded knowingly in the affirmative. Zhou Huijuan, who had been paying attention to their conversation, suddenly thought of where she had heard this name.

Bill, the name is very common abroad, and she didn't pay much attention to it at first. There are not many foreigners who come here to bring assistant bodyguards, after all, everyone understands today's public security.

It's just that they think of their reaction to seeing the learning machine before, and the Microsoft mentioned in the conversation. Zhou Huijuan subconsciously looked at it again, the younger man with glasses.

The appearance that I didn't pay much attention to suddenly felt a little familiar at the moment, but I couldn't remember where I saw it.

Until the group walked out of the store, Zhou Huijuan, who was following her eyes, suddenly saw the row of "Computer Weekly" in the reading area on the side of the door.

In the middle of the pile of magazines, a copy of the end-of-August issue of Computer Weekly was neatly placed, and the cover was a white man with glasses and an infectious smile.

The title reads

"The richest man in the world, Bill Gates and his Microsoft empire." Zhou Huijuan instantly felt that her head was down for a moment, and then a warm current rushed straight to her head from the dorsal crest.

"That's the richest man in the world! Bill Gates, I even asked him just now if he wanted to get a membership discount. Zhou Huijuan, who subconsciously muttered a word, reacted instantly.

Damn it, why didn't you ask more questions just now, if you really gave him a member, wouldn't it mean that the richest man in the world is a member of our store.

Fortunately, Zhou Huijuan didn't dwell on it for long, after all, the person who can be with the richest man should not be bad. Thinking of the membership information just now, Zhou Huijuan immediately retrieved it from the computer.

"Warren Buffett Rice xxxxx phone 001308xxxxxx in Omaha, Omaha, Braska, China" turned around in her mind, and Zhou Huijuan still didn't know who this person was.

The first time Warren Buffett was known to the whole country was in January 1996, when the "Shanghai Securities News" published a book called "Securities Investment Giant - Warren Bufeld".

To introduce Buffett's investment myth, in the three years from 95 to 98, his Berkshire Hathaway grew at an annual rate of 20.2 percent, exceeding the Dow Jones index by 10 percent.

…… Chu Qing received the news in the afternoon, and the notice was taken through the official channel. After all, backgammon didn't have any contact with either of them before.

When I knew that the richest man and the stock god would come to BBK to visit, the whole company was excited.

That's the richest man in the world! If Chu Qing is a walking Huaxia coin, then he is a bundle of beautiful knives for every hair.

Even Brother Tan Jiao, who was making a report to Chu Qing, suddenly felt a little nervous.

"The richest man is only, there's no fuss, just go through the normal process, they can see what they want." Chu Qing was also a little surprised that these two people would suddenly come to visit his company.

But after the accident, there was nothing else to feel. If the previous life knew that they would come, Chu Qing might have been excited.

But in this life, after going through so much, he seems to be very unexpected. The richest man is only, and he may be able to go up and sit in that position that day.
