reborn in the fiery age

Sun Zujie also thought of his other brother-in-law. Zhou Qiong's two younger brothers are both quite promising. They are both college students. When Sun Zujie got the news, he was already in front of Zhou Qiong's hospital bed in Hong Kong Island.

This is a very confidential private clinic that Zhao Ziran has ordered. Zhou Qiong will give birth and do confinement here. The conditions are very good, so Sun Zujie can rest assured.

Sun Zujie has no interest in the passport of the US emperor at all, and his son does not need such a thing.

Little Zhou Ying fell asleep just after eating milk, and the two had time to chat about some past events.The eldest, Zhou Shengli, also went to university in [-], and now works in Shanghai.

Their generation of college students is indeed blessed. Now 32 Zhou Shengli is a staff member of the Municipal Party Committee Office. Three years after graduation, he is now a department-level cadre. Sun Zujie nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

Old San Zhouhu, also admitted to Huaixi University in [-], majored in electronics, and is now studying for a postgraduate in Shanghai.Coincidentally, Zhou Hu's mentor is one of the collaborators of Tianyi Group, so Zhou Hu has a lot of contact with Tianyi Group, and there is a high probability that he will become Sun Zujie's subordinate in the future.

Sun Zujie said with a smile, "The three siblings of your Zhou family were all college students in the same year, so they caused a sensation back then."

"Well, every household on our street was setting off firecrackers at that time. My dad was not completely liberated at the time, but my mother still opened a water table all day to invite the neighbors to eat.

In the final analysis, it was thanks to you. When you returned to your hometown in [-] and asked Li Shengli to bring it, after my father knew about it, he asked us to study hard, and this is how we are today. "

Sun Zujie nodded, changed the subject and asked, "We are like this now, do your parents and two younger brothers know?"

Zhou Qiong was silent for a while, "Dad knows, he didn't say anything, he just asked me how you arrange our mother and son?"

Sun Zujie thought for a while, "It's better for you and your child to stay on Hong Kong Island. I can see you more. With your qualifications, it is more than enough to be an associate professor at a university on Hong Kong Island."

Zhou Qiong whispered, "I listen to you."

Sun Zujie continued, "Right now Hong Kong Island is not expensive, I have asked Zhao Ziran to help buy a house, and you will live there when the time comes."

"Zu Jie, where did you get the money, you won't make a mistake doing this."

Sun Zujie smiled and said, "Don't worry, the money to buy the house now is my share of the Go club in the country of Wa, which is legal and compliant, and the superiors know it. Do you still remember the stamps and badges I left with you back then? "

Zhou Qiong nodded, "I know, what's wrong?"

"It has risen a little now, and it will become more and more valuable in the future. You have collected it, and when you need it in a few years, you can just take it out and sell some."

Zhou Qiong looked at Sun Zujie in disbelief, "Did you see this early?"

Sun Zujie nodded, "Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, I believe our country will get better and better. So when the four old things were broken, I started collecting, and now I have a lot of rare things."

Zhou Qiong shook her head in disbelief, "I don't even know where your confidence comes from. In the situation back then, many people were in danger. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"

"There will be more and more things you can't think of. We are indeed unlucky. We encountered some ups and downs when we were young; but we are also very lucky. We have encountered a great era. Both the country and the individual will get better and better. It's as good as you think. unimaginable level.”

Zhou Qiong looked at Sun Zujie obsessively, maybe it was Sun Zujie's self-confidence, this kind of magic that made her hard to extricate herself, and she couldn't forget it no matter what, alas, I'm afraid his other half is also the same.

Sun Zujie spent a few days with Zhou Qiong and the children on Hong Kong Island, but soon he was not so free.

The first is Tianyi Group, Zhao Ziran reported to him, "After Tianyi Software and Microsoft went to court, the American computer company was very unwilling to allow Tianyi Software to monopolize it, so they all secretly supported Microsoft, so the lawsuits sometimes dragged on for a long time. , the variable becomes large.

In addition, Apple's Macintosh computers are selling well. They are also a graphical operating system, and they even cooperate with Microsoft. "

Sun Zujie thought for a while, "What is IBM's attitude?"

"IBM has some interest in cooperating with us to develop an operating system, but they have a big business and are slow to respond, and they have not yet made a clear attitude. I think they want to wait and see for a while, and look at our lawsuit with Microsoft. How about it."

Sun Zujie walked slowly. The current situation is very different from the history.Don't worry about Apple, they're doomed.When Apple can't bear it anymore, Tianyi Group can buy some stocks to help them, and he can do what Microsoft has done.

The problem now is other manufacturers of compatible machines. Their ambiguous attitude is certainly understandable. No one wants to have a monopoly, even if the importance of the operating system is not obvious yet.

Tianyi Group itself also sells computers, so based on the relationship of competition, they are naturally unwilling to support Tianyi software.

In addition, Sun Zujie estimated that Tianyi, as a Chinese company, had embezzled too much oil and water, which had caused dissatisfaction among quite a few people, so it is not surprising to have these problems.

Therefore, we must grasp the key points. What is the key point? IBM is the key point. They are still the rule-makers. Except for Tianyi, their opponents have not yet developed to the point where they can compete with IBM, so they must cooperate with IBM now.

"Negotiating with IBM, we are willing to give up a part of Tianyi Software's shares, on the condition that they give up their support for Microsoft."

"Isn't this situation too passive now?"

"Even if it loses, it's worth it. Anyway, I have always had this plan. The operating system can only be dominated by one company, and we will never allow Microsoft to become bigger. In addition to the lawsuit, Tianyi system software began to cut prices to occupy the market as much as possible.

In addition, tell the compatible machine manufacturers in Japan and Europe that if they want to survive in the United States, they can only join forces, otherwise they will also encounter the rejection that Tianyi encountered today. "

Chapter 325 IBM's Decision

Following Sun Zujie's decision, the Tianyi Group began to fight with all its strength. Facing the Tianyi Group's all-out attack, it was inevitable that the Japanese would be the first to be persuaded.

Tianyi has purchased a large number of cheap accessories from the Japanese country for a long time, and has a good relationship with all parties in the Japanese country. It was the first to use Sony's 3.5-inch floppy disks. The interests of the two parties are relatively consistent.

In the operating system war, it is in their best interest to choose to support the US-based Microsoft that has been caught, rather than supporting Tianyi Software, which is currently the mainstream in the market.

Tianyi Software broke with Microsoft. Most of the application software suppliers stood on the side of Tianyi Software. Tianyi Group has begun to consciously use the advantages of its own system software to support some unique application software suppliers.

With the development of these application software vendors, they have already formed a group with Tianyi Group, so they have no choice at all, and can only stand with Tianyi Software in the field of PC compatibles.

The timing when Tianyi Software chose to attack Microsoft was when Microsoft had just developed the first-generation system software, which was still immature. Most of the application software supported Tianyi Software. At this time, they had no choice but to choose one of the two.

And as the Tianyi Windows system began to drop in price, a large number of compatible machine manufacturers also wavered.In fact, the Tianyi system did not treat them differently.If they chose Microsoft, it would be equivalent to saying goodbye to the more mature Tianyi software, and it would be even more troublesome for a large number of application software vendors to say goodbye to them, which would be very detrimental to their current business.

Compared with Tianyi Group, which is one of the world's top [-] companies, Microsoft's stature is indeed too small at present, so many manufacturers don't understand why Tianyi Group is staring at Microsoft. In this case, even if Microsoft keeps lobbying, they will There will be no queuing.

In the end, only the industry leader IBM was left, and their position played a decisive role.At the time of life and death, Mr. Damen began to frantically use various relationships to try to persuade IBM to support them, and even Mr. Damen's mother was dispatched.

In the past two years, IBM's share in the PC industry has grown larger and larger, and it has become a two-strong rival with Tianyi Computer in the market. The two main sources of profit are small and medium-sized enterprises.

However, the choice of Tianyi Computer and IBM is not the same. In addition to competing with IBM's products, Tianyi also supports Huaguo's Oupai Electronics to produce low-end Oupai computers. This has formed Tianyi's main focus on mid-to-high end OPPEIN focuses on the low-end market.

At the same time, Tianyi Group uses its venture fund to acquire or buy shares in parts suppliers, trying to open up the entire industrial chain. This is the practice of a typical Japanese-style consortium.

However, Tianyi Computer's attempt was not successful. Intel Corporation rejected their request for a shareholding, and the Japanese consortium was only willing to cooperate, and there was no need to even think about taking shares.

Neither the CPU nor the memory has a share, so Tianyi can only figure out its own way. Tianyi cooperated with Oupai to launch a memory with dozens of kilobytes, which has already lagged behind the market, but because of its cheap price, many low-end machines are willing to use it.

Tianyi focused on the display, and cooperated with Opie to launch its own CRT display, but the products produced were also relatively backward and could only be used in low-end models.

This is the real strength of the Chinese in the field of electronics industry. Both the US emperor and Japan have consciously prevented them from entering the real core field.

In the field of software, the American Empire has little restrictions on the Tianyi Group, so the investment fund under the Tianyi Group has successfully invested in some software companies. Of course, this is equivalent to angel investment, and the American Emperor welcomes this.

It's just that some software that is closely related to the interests of the United States still imposes restrictions on Tianyi, such as Oracle.

But even under various pressures, the total sales of Tianyi Computer last year was close to 30 billion US dollars, followed by IBM PC, but the profit gap between the two is not big. It is obvious that IBM has gradually surpassed Tianyi in mid-to-high-end models computer.

From this perspective, the IBM-E-surfing alliance back then was very profitable for IBM, and they became the industry leader in only two or three years.

But IBM also has its own troubles. After the alliance, Tianyi Computer did not give up the mid-to-high-end market to IBM as quickly as imagined, but kept pace with it. This made IBM very dissatisfied. They are used to domineering, and they are really not used to such a position. .

What's more, the bastards like Kang Bo were killed halfway, making it impossible for them to control the Tianyi computer.It also forced them to keep reducing prices, and even IBM produced a $[-] machine. The profit was too low, which made IBM very dissatisfied.
