Chapter 203 Enterprise Operating System

When he came outside the casino, Liu Luanxiong was even more shocked. In front of a stretched Rolls-Royce, eight burly bodyguards in black stood respectfully in two rows. Under his gaze, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin He got into the car and walked away. The bodyguards followed in four other black cars.

Rao Liu Luanxiong had seen the big world, but he was also stunned by shock at this moment.

"The four bodyguard cars are also Rolls-Royce cars, but not the extended version... Who the hell is he? There is such a pomp! Oh, by the way, that woman calls him Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Li???"

"Couldn't he be the American super billionaire Chronos Li!!!"

Liu Luanxiong suddenly turned pale with shock!
At this time, he recalled the conversation with Li Zetian before, and he became more and more sure that he was Chronos Li.Gradually, Liu Luanxiong's face turned red, and when he thought of himself acting aggressive in front of him, he felt extremely ridiculous.

"I'm still going to Hong Kong to play my star...Chen Ruoxi, the silver medal winner of the first Hong Kong TVB Rookie Singing Contest, is as beautiful as a flower, crowning all others, she can be called a peerless beauty! This time, the goal is her!!! "

Hehe, isn't a little singer within reach?
Liu Luanxiong pushed his glasses and grinned. What happened just now was forgotten in an instant, and now Chen Ruoxi was all on his mind, as if he saw her being pressed under him and begging...

……

The next day, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin returned to Los Angeles.

Liu Luanxiong was eager to return home, and returned to Hong Kong by plane, hoping to embrace the beauty as soon as possible.However, his wish is not easy to achieve, even if it takes a lot of effort in the end, the possibility of success is extremely small.

At the CES exhibition, Commodore made a big splash, and the Commodore-64 computer became one of the most eye-catching products in this exhibition, attracting numerous media reports.

The American public was fascinated by this cheap but high-performance computer.

"The Commodore-64 computer is not expensive. It can not only play games, but also has the functions of ordinary computers. It is very cost-effective!"

"Hehe, that's right! We can learn computer programming and play games on it."

"I decided to buy one because the Commodore-64 is cheap and can play a lot of games!"

"..."

The biggest selling point of Commodore-64 is that it can play games and have computer functions. For children, Commodore-64 can play games and is deeply loved by them. So I begged my parents to buy it, and the excuse was fair and honest. I want to learn Computer Programming.Many parents are actually unwilling to buy game consoles for their children, fearing that they will lose their minds. However, because the Commodore-64 can learn programming, many parents think twice, and most of them are willing to spend money to buy a Commodore-64.

When Backgammon was founded, in order to promote the backgammon machine, it was hyped as a learning machine, so it quickly surpassed the Xiaobawang game machine and occupied the market, but in fact, the backgammon learning machine is just a game machine.

The product positioning of the Commodore-64 is also like this. It is advertised as a computer, but in fact it is more like a computer game console.One caters to parents, the other caters to children, and the price is not expensive, Commodore-64 is naturally very popular.

Affected by the Commodore-64, sales of the Flamingo-1 game console also declined.

The rise of computer games is unstoppable, and Li Zetian is very clear about this.But for now, computer games are still not comparable to home games, both in graphics and performance.

Of course, Flamingo is bound to establish a computer game development department in the future.

At the moment, the companies that are feeling overwhelmed should be Apple, IBM, Compaq, HP and other companies.

The strong attack of Commodore-64 is undoubtedly dividing their computer market, especially for Apple, it is even worse!
Thomas Rockefeller frowned tightly, pacing left and right, with an irritable expression on his face.

Vincent Gay stood aside, silent.

Several people from the California Consortium sat on a couch, watching Thomas Rockefeller.

"In one week, Commodore sold 24.5 Commodore-64s. The sales volume is astonishing. Even Apple and IBM can't do it! The situation is getting worse and worse for Apple!!" Thomas Rockefeller said in a deep voice .

Vincent Gay nodded, "Yes, Mr. Rockefeller."

"Have you contacted Chronos Li? He said when will the second round of negotiations start?" Thomas asked in a low and hoarse voice.

"Chronos. Li said that he is currently busy with Sun Computer Systems and has no time to negotiate with Apple." Vincent Gay shook his head and sighed.

When Thomas Rockefeller heard this, a flash of anger flashed across his face, and he said angrily: "What do you mean you can't spare time? Couldn't he send someone to negotiate with us? This is clearly an excuse! I don't know what he is thinking Don't you just want to wait for Apple's market value to be lower, and then come to buy it!!!"

Li Zetian did have this plan, but he is indeed very busy now.

Sun Computer Systems has just acquired SGI and Moon, and obtained the technology and talents of the two companies, further strengthening the company's development capabilities.

Workstations, servers, and supercomputers need not only powerful processors, but also powerful operating systems!
After returning to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, Li Zetian often stayed at Sun Computer Systems to guide work and plan for future development.

"Sun Computer Systems must develop a powerful enterprise-level operating system, so that we can completely defeat IBM and DEC!" Li Zetian said when he convened a meeting of the company's main leadership.He looked at William Nelson Joy, who founded Moon Microsystems together with Andy Becketterson and Scott Marconi. He is the chief scientist of the company, and now he naturally joined Sun Computer Systems Corporation.

"I have seen MoonOS, the operating system of the Moon graphics workstation, which has great potential for development. William Nelson Joy developed the BSD operating system (a derivative of Unix) and the Vi compiler during his student years. I suggest that he be the operator. The person in charge of the system!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although William Nelson Joy was young, 28 and nine years old, he was outstandingly talented. He was the inventor of the BSD operating system, which made him the indisputable person in charge of the operating system.

As far as Li Zetian knows, other people have developed many versions of BSD based on BSD, the most famous ones are FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, and the Mac-OS-X operating system of Apple Computer is also largely based on BSD.

William Nelson Joy stood up at this moment, bent down and said, "Thank you Mr. Li and everyone for your trust, I will definitely not let you down!"

After he sat down, Li Zetian continued: "The name of the next-generation newly developed operating system is called Solaris. In addition, starting today, the name of Sun Computer Systems has been changed to Sun Microsystems to remind everyone that "microsystems" The importance of the computer, not the computer! Sun Microsystems not only pays attention to hardware, but also to software!!!”

The reason why Sun Microsystems, with a market value of more than 2000 billion U.S. dollars in the previous life, declined so quickly was because the hardware was so profitable that they dazzled their minds and ignored software and systems instead.

PS: I have something to do today, so the update time is a bit late, at least three more tomorrow, do you have any tickets?
