I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 554 Please give the soul of the computer to the supercomputer software company!
The fact that John Akers can serve as Frank Carey, the CEO of IBM after John Opel, is enough to show that his status in IBM at this time is already very high.

This is why historically in 1980, IBM handed over such an important outsourcing contract to an unknown company.

Microsoft Corporation.

At this time, Microsoft is a very inconspicuous company in country M. If it were not for the relationship between Mary Gates and John Akers, it would be impossible for IBM to hand over such an important outsourcing contract to such an inconspicuous company. .

Now, Yang Ming deliberately mentioned IBM's competitors, including Hewlett-Packard, Pingguo, and even Toyo's computer company, which made the three of them fearful.

For these companies, the biggest fear is competitors, or peers.

"Sir Yang, you have to know that we have a great advantage in office computers. Our office computers are very mature and stable."

Frank Carey said hastily.

Yang Ming said: "I know, but the quotations given by other companies are very good, and now Future Capital is still the largest shareholder of Pingguo Company."

The three were at a loss.

According to their thinking, if Sir Yang wanted to buy a computer, he would of course also buy it from Pingguo Company.

So why not secretly place an order from Pingguo instead of loudly announcing orders from the world?
"Sir Yang, I want to talk to you alone." Frank Kerry said.

"of course can."

Frank Carey will retire next year, which means that before stepping down as CEO, he wants to get more orders and performance for IBM.

This huge order from the Imperial Group was exactly what he needed.

The two entered the study.

"Sir Yang, regarding the office computer orders of the Imperial Group, we IBM can not only meet your company's requirements, including various hardware requirements, but we can also negotiate prices, at least more favorable than HP and other companies."

In order to win this order, Frank Carey felt that he could meet the requirements of the Imperial Group and Sir Yang as much as possible.

Yang Ming said, "Mr. Frank, I only have one request now."

a request?
Frank Carey was surprised.

"Sir Yang, I don't know what you are asking for?"

"I want your IBM company to cooperate with my supercomputer software company. In the future, IBM's computers will be equipped with our company's operating system."

Let IBM's computer install the operating system of the supercomputer software company?
What's going on here?

Supercomputer software company?
operating system?

Frank Carey couldn't react.

When Yang Ming turned on the IBM computer in the study and showed Frank Carey his Windows1 system, Frank Carey was shocked and speechless.

When is this?
Sir Yang actually set up such a software company in Silicon Valley.

He had just seen Sir Yang demonstrate the Windows 1 operating system, and he found it to be very good, especially when used with an IBM computer.

If all IBM computers are equipped with such an operating system, more consumers around the world will inevitably buy such computers.

"Sir Yang, is your Windows1 system?"

"Yes, it was established in March, and now it has been developed and is ready to be launched globally."

Frank Carey was really shocked.

He originally thought that Sir Yang's Imperial Group purchased 20 office computers only because of the relationship with the office, but he didn't expect that there was such a relationship in it.

IBM does not exclude software from other companies.

Historically, IBM has been cooperating with other companies to develop software, including outsourcing contracts, allowing other companies to develop related software.

There is no such thing as a soul.

For this Windows1 operating system, he also liked it very much. He felt that this operating system was born for IBM computers.

He even wanted to buy out this software.

"Sir Yang, you just demonstrated this Windows system. I like it very much. I wonder if it can be sold to IBM?"

Frank Carey asked.

"what do you mean?"

"I want to buy all the ownership of this software, and even, it can only be used by IBM Computer Company, and other computer companies cannot use it."

Frank Carey said.

I have to say that a big guy is a big guy.

Yang Ming also thought that IBM would not reject the so-called soul, but the other party actually wanted to buy the soul back and use it as his own computer soul.

Historically, IBM and Microsoft cooperated in this way, but IBM wanted to buy out the EM-DOS system at that time.

Microsoft's Bill Gates was unwilling, so he went to court with IBM. In the end, Microsoft could only pay IBM $100 million in compensation.

In the end, Microsoft successfully retained the EM-DOS system, and of course the later Windows series appeared.

Yang Ming really had to admire these big shots. Historically, the success of these people had a lot to do with country M's technological innovation, system, and so on.

In addition, the CEOs of these companies are not simple, he can see the role of this system at a glance.

However, how could Yang Ming sell the Windows system?
This is impossible.

Even if IBM is willing to use Windows in the future, if IBM wants to monopolize the Windows system, it is impossible for him to agree.

Yang Ming wants to target the global computer market.

In the future, there will not be only IBM computers in the world. On the contrary, more and more computer companies will appear.

"Mr. Frank, it is impossible to sell the Windows system, but we can cooperate. IBM can sell the hardware to the Imperial Group, and the supercomputer software company of the Imperial Group can sell the software to IBM."

Mutual cooperation, isn't it what it is now?

Frank Carey thought so.

However, it still feels like there is something wrong with it.

"Sir Yang, what is the price of your operating system?"

price?

Microsoft's Windows 1.0 was released in November 1985, with an initial price of $11; the GUI computer platforms at that time were GEM and DESQview/X, so users did not have a high opinion of Windows 99.

However, Yang Ming knew that Microsoft sold more and more expensive Windows series in the later genuine market. Flooded with pirated Windows systems.

Even so, Microsoft still insisted on not lowering the price, but has been asking the country to crack down on piracy of the wind system.

Large domestic state-owned enterprises and large companies must all use genuine Windows systems, because if they dare to use pirated versions, Microsoft's legal department will immediately sue and lose money.

Now, for the listed price of Windows 1, Yang Ming plans to sell it as a set of 99 US dollars.

Compared with the arcade machines of Yang Ming Empire Game Company, this price is already very cheap.

"Mr. Frank, I'm going to sell a set for $99."
