People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 236 Paul is moved

In this world, with the advent of Oracle computers, the development trajectory of the technology industry has definitely changed.

The reason why Sioux City continues to believe in Intel and secretly acquire their shares is because it believes in Gordon Moore's ability.

With him here, even if Intel cannot achieve the market value of more than 1 times in another world, it will not be far behind.

Gordon Moore is to Intel what Steve Jobs was to Apple. Both have unique talents.

Will Congress allow Sioux City to monopolize the tech industry?
Will Europe allow Sioux City to monopolize the tech industry?
Will Japan and South Korea allow Sioux City to monopolize the technology industry?
Totally impossible.

Unless, his Sioux City products are only sold in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia.

Therefore, it is better to sell the right to use the technology, which can not only get a lot of money, but also build a good reputation.

In the end, how most technology companies develop will slowly return to their original trajectory.

This is also the reason why Su Cheng and Yang Chaoye decided to sell the right to use the technology to the public. They wanted to have it exclusively and monopolize it, unless Su Cheng felt too long-lived.

However, the right to use the hardware can be sold, but he will not sell the right to use the software.

And he also plans to start a systems company.

At this time, Microsoft had just been established for three years and had not yet begun to develop systems. Its main business was modifying BASIC programs and developing PC programming.

In this case, why not Sioux City be the first to take advantage of it and claim the Windows system as its own!

From Microsoft Windows 1.0 to the latest Windows 11, Xiao Aike has the source code. He only needs to change the LOGO and it is completely his.

However, this matter is not urgent. According to the original historical development, Microsoft did not start releasing Microsoft Windows 1985 until 1.0.

He does not intend to make the current Oracle system public, but only allows it to be used by Oracle computers.

As for the Windows system, it can naturally be developed into a system that can be used on any model.

In this way, it can be regarded as a return to the original historical development path.

However, the beneficiary of this world became Su Cheng.

Apple and Microsoft can only develop other systems.

After the matter was done, Su Cheng didn't continue wandering around outside and asked the driver to take him back to the hotel.

It was only around four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still some time before evening, so it was better to go back and rest.

Back at the hotel, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Su Cheng sat on the comfortable sofa and turned on the TV station with the remote control.

After changing several channels, the TV channel finally stopped at ABC TV station, because at this time, the TV station was playing the video of the press conference hosted by Yang Chaoye.

They were very direct, they didn't even do any post-production and just played the live recorded video.

Su Cheng took some melon seeds, sat on the sofa and watched with gusto.

ABC TV station is one of the three traditional radio and television companies in China, so the audience is very large.

At this time, in a small workshop in Silicon Valley, California, a young man was assembling the found computer parts one by one. His name was Paul.

Paul liked tinkering with computers very much. After graduating from college, he joined Hewlett-Packard, but within a year, he was fired.

The reason why he was fired was not that his skills were not good, but that he always took jobs privately from outside. This was of course a violation of the company's rules and regulations. However, in order to make more money, he would always take some jobs after work every day. Computer-related work, such as helping others assemble a cheap and high-end computer, etc.Because he also has his dream, he hopes to open a technology company of his own.

This kind of dream is very common in Silicon Valley.

For example, Jobs was only 23 years old at this time, but he had already established Apple with his friends for two years.

Since he wants to open a company, he must have enough capital, so Paul works very hard.

Once, after get off work, he was assembling a computer for a computer enthusiast in a slum neighborhood, and unexpectedly he was met by a colleague.

It happened that this colleague had a conflict with him at work, so he was reported.

As a result, of course he was fired.

After he was fired, he opened this small workshop to assemble computer parts at cheap prices.

Here in Silicon Valley, too many poor computer enthusiasts need a computer of their own.

Therefore, as his reputation in the neighborhood grew, his business got better and better, and he even made several times more money than when he worked at HP.

Sometimes, he is even glad that HP fired him, otherwise he would not be able to save money so fast.

The weather in Silicon Valley in September is very cool. Near evening, the temperature is already less than 9 degrees Celsius.

After Paul assembled the machine, he washed his hands and then turned on the TV on the table opposite.

"Hey, Oracle computer conference?" At this time, the TV station was playing the video recorded at the conference.

He is very sensitive about computers.

Moreover, he was surprised to find that there were many big-shot figures in the audience.

For example, the president of IBM, the vice president of Texas Instruments, the technical director of Kodak, and even the head of an important laboratory of his former boss Hewlett-Packard were all there.

Suddenly, he became more and more curious about this new Oracle computer product.

As time went by, the functions of Oracle computers were announced one by one, and the configurations were also announced one by one. He was so surprised that he became numb.

Damn it, what kind of magical technology is this?

Compared with this computer, the microcomputers produced by HP, IBM and other companies are simply garbage, okay!

He suddenly felt that the computer he used, which he bought and assembled with the highest configuration, no longer tasted good at all.

"The sale price of such a computer is definitely very high. Although I can afford it even for [-] to [-] US dollars, I have to save my money to prepare for starting a company in the future. How can I be willing to buy it if it is so expensive?" Looking at it, Paul was moved by the flawless computer on the TV station, but he was also extremely troubled.

According to his idea, since the IBM 5110 can be sold for US$9875, it is very normal for this product, which is countless times more advanced than the IBM 5110, to double or triple in price.

"Okay, no more dumb words. On behalf of Oracle Computer Company, I am here to announce to the world that our first-generation Oracle computer is priced at US$2999. We spent more than one billion US dollars to develop this product, but we have always believed in it." In line with the obligation to popularize computers, we finally decided on this price. Although the price is still relatively expensive, we have tried our best. If it gets cheaper, we will really be a charity organization!" When Yang Chaoye on the TV station announced the Oracle computer When the sale price was announced, Paul jumped with excitement.

At the same time, not only Paul, but also many viewers in San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, etc., watched this conference through ABC TV stations.

When the price was announced, everyone was excited.

Although US$2999 is a lot of money for many people at the bottom, there is no shortage of middle- and high-income families in this beautiful country.

At this moment, many computer enthusiasts have decided to buy one as soon as this computer is released!
