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

Chapter 557 Windows 1 is officially launched!Shock the world! !

Wang Lie was a little surprised to see his father trembling and Sir Yang coming out of the study.

Could it be that father and Sir Yang didn't discuss cooperation?
"Dr. Wang, I still admire you very much. We will cooperate again when we have the opportunity."

Yang Ming didn't say anything more.

Wang Lie still wanted to ask something, but was called to leave by Wang Lie.

Looking at the figures of the three leaving, Yang Ming shook his head.

. . .

the next few days.

According to Yang Ming's request, Yuan Tianfan and Langdon talked for a long time with IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Pingguo, Fujitsu, Toshiba, and Hitachi respectively.

Finally finished this cooperation.

Imperial Group 20 office computers.

Among them, 10 office computer orders were handed over to IBM.

Orders for 5 office computers were delivered to Hewlett-Packard.

The order for 2 office computers was handed over to Pingguo Company.

The company's orders for 3 office computers were handed over to Fujitsu's three Toyo companies.

In Yang Ming's view, there is endless money in this world, why not cooperate with other companies?What's more, his real purpose this time is to promote the Windows system and occupy the global operating system market.

So far, it's been very successful.

These computer companies have agreed, and they are very satisfied with the Windows system.

Even if there is no computer order from Imperial Group, they are willing to buy Windows system as their company's operating system.

When the Imperial Group signed contracts with these companies.

Shares of IBM and Hewlett-Packard immediately followed suit.

Pingguo Company has not yet been listed, and now it has received an order of 2 office computers from the Imperial Group, which can also bring a lot of turnover and valuation.

In other words, Pingguo Company has not yet been listed, and now its valuation has risen again.

. . .

1980 5 Month 27 Day.

9:00am.

Silicon Valley.

Conference room of a supercomputer software company.

The official launch of the Windows1 product launch conference.

At the product launch, the people present at the meeting.

Including Yuan Tianfan, the general manager of the supercomputer software company, Langdon, the director of personnel department, Navia, the financial director, and Tim Patterson, the software design director and product director, as well as some company principals.

Here in the meeting room, journalists from Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and even many newspapers around the world were invited.

The person in charge of hosting this Windows1 product conference is Tim Patterson.

When the product launch officially begins.

Tim Patterson officially introduced the first product of this supercomputer software company to the present reporters.

Windows1, also known as Windows1980.

This product basically meets the work needs of any worker, and it is richer, simpler and easier to use than the WPS product of Wangyong Computer Company.

Compared with similar companies, it is more convenient for workers to use.

The most important thing about this product is compatibility.

That is to say, any computer company, including IBM computers, Hewlett-Packard computers, Toyo computers, and even some miscellaneous computers, assembled computers, etc., can perform compatible installation.

Undoubtedly, the launch of this computer operating software hosted by Tim Patterson shocked many reporters present.

For country M, many people use computers for work.

Before this, it was really inconvenient. The reason why the IBM computer was so large before has a lot to do with these.

Now the emergence of the Windows system seems to have solved many problems at once.

"Mr. Patterson, do you know the price of this software?"

A female reporter picked up the microphone and asked.

"99 US dollars. This set of operating software only costs 99 US dollars, the global unified price." Tim Patterson said.

USD99?

It's not expensive and it's not cheap.

Compared with a computer that costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, a computer operating system of $99 is indeed not expensive.

In the following time, many reporters began to ask questions again.

Tim Patterson, Yuan Tianfan, Langdon and others all responded.

This new product launch.

From 9:00 am until 11:30 am.

It can be said that this new product launch event was very successful and immediately shocked many reporters.

When the reporters left, Yuan Tianfan went back to report to Yang Ming.

Connor Manor.

Yang Ming was still in the study.

The supercomputer software company was also created by him, and he will not and cannot appear at the product launch conference.

However, he knew that a press conference was already underway.

"Boss, I'm back."

Yuan Tianfan walked in from the outside.

"Boss, this Windows 1 product conference was very successful and attracted the attention of all reporters present. Many reporters were very satisfied with this product, including the price."

"This is just the beginning. In the future, the supercomputer software company will be one of the world's top [-] companies. As long as we do a good job of this software, we can continuously obtain wealth."

Compared with computer hardware, this Windows system is more profitable.

This is also the reason why Microsoft's market value has been getting higher and higher in history, and Bill Gates' wealth has been increasing.

Yuan Tianfan may not know what this means.

However, now Yuan Tianfan is temporarily in charge of the supercomputer software company, and the management of the supercomputer software company is solely responsible.

Yang Ming is already looking for candidates.

One is Jack Welch, the current vice chairman of General Electric Company in M ​​country.

In history, he was hailed as the most outstanding professional manager in country M, and also the number one professional manager in country M.

It has played a very important role in the development and strength of General Electric Company.

Now, as far as General Electric is concerned, it is already a large group company with a market value of over [-] billion, and the other party is already the vice chairman of the company. If there is no accident, it will definitely be the chairman of General Electric in the future.

Under such circumstances, it might be difficult for Yang Ming to lure him from General Electric to a supercomputer software company.

For the supercomputer software company, Yang Ming knew that white people knew white people better, that is to say, if he wanted to promote the Windows system of the supercomputer software company to the world, he must reuse those white professional managers.

"I have already sent someone to meet with Jack Welch. If he is willing to serve as the general manager of the supercomputer software company, then you will be in charge of the future capital company's affairs."

Yuan Tianfan knew about Jack Welch.However, the other party is already the vice chairman of General Electric, so it might be difficult to find him.

In country M, it is normal for professional managers to change jobs.

I was afraid that Yang Ming would not be able to satisfy the other party's needs.

Besides Jack Welch, Yang Ming also chose another candidate.

John Chambers.

In 1976, at thirty, Chambers came to California to start his own business with three diplomas: Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Law, MBA in Finance and Management.

First of all, he chose a consulting company that represented acquisitions and mergers, but soon heard a friend introduce that IBM "sells" solutions, and Chambers was very interested in the word "solution" at the time, so he was "confused" Enter IBM, the largest computer company in the world.

He worked for IBM for seven years, first in sales for a few years, and later as a marketing manager for IBM, which produced the world's first personal computer in 1981.

At that time, the IBM computer was on the cover of "Time" magazine, which was very popular for a while. However, due to the mistakes of high-level decision-makers, they did not pay attention to the opinions of consumers, and gradually gave up the PC market and turned to large-scale computer equipment. Finally, IBM The dominant position on the PC was soon occupied by Compaq Computer, which came from behind.

Chambers said with emotion: "I have learned a lot from it, and the most taboo thing is that as managers, they are getting farther and farther away from customers. They should know more than customers."

In 1983, Chambers, disappointed, ran to his second big company, which was the Wang Press Computer Company, responsible for sales in Asia, and later became the vice president. He worked here for 8 years, the first 6 and a half years, Under the leadership of Dr. Wang Yin, they cooperated very well, and they both attached great importance to the relationship with customers.

Wang Press himself was also very flexible and made different plans for different situations, which benefited Chambers a lot. However, with Wang Press's retirement and his son Wang Lie's appointment, the situation changed a lot.

In the words of Chambers: "Without the client, the various interests are not well taken care of."

Although Chambers was later promoted to the position of president of the M country of Wang Press Computer Company, he had to complete the task of laying off 4000 employees first, which made Chambers extremely painful.

His experience of having to lay off employees also made him very mentally painful. Whenever he talked about this, he always had a very lonely expression: "They are all excellent employees, and there is no need to let their lives fall into chaos."

After the latest layoffs, Chambers cut his salary to a token dollar to keep several employees in their positions.

He resigned immediately and stayed at home for two months until Cisco threw him a red hydrangea.

In the end, he joined Cisco, which made Cisco one of the most important companies in the world, and Cisco made him.

In other words, it wasn't that Chambers couldn't do it, but that the company that Chambers met before, or the boss didn't listen to his advice.

As for Chambers, Yang Ming knew him from Cisco, which appeared later in history.

Compared with Jack Welch, who is about to enter the peak period of professional managers, Yang Ming thinks that Chambers may be more suitable, of course, the general manager of a supercomputer software company.
