Chapter 554: Exchange of Interests! No More Bill Gates From Now On!

Chapter 554: Exchange of interests! No Bill Gates from now on!!

WS1 system?

Expensive!

Not expensive!

For IBM computers, which cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, it is just that.

Frank Carey did not refuse to cooperate with the supercomputer software company. On the contrary, he saw at a glance that the Windows system would bring more sales to IBM Computer Company.

Most importantly, he hoped to get this order for super office computers.

"Sir Yang, we can agree to your request, but we don't know how many office computer orders we can get."

The most important thing for him now is the order.

"One hundred thousand."

One hundred thousand office computers, that's not a small number.

Frank Carey originally wanted to get all 200,000 computer orders, but now, he can get half of the order, which is also very good.

For the request made by Sir Yang, it really doesn't count.

"Sir Yang, can you increase the order?"

Yang Ming said: "Mr. Frank, you know it's hard for me to do that."

Frank knew that Sir Yang was the largest shareholder of Pingguo Company. Now that half of the order was given to IBM, it was probably very good.

The two sides talked for another half an hour and reached a preliminary cooperation.

That is, Empire Group will purchase 100,000 office computers from IBM.

IBM will purchase 1 million sets of Windows1 software from Supercomputer Software Company.

. . .

At this time, John Opel and John Akers who were waiting outside were very nervous.

They didn't know why the CEO and Sir Yang talked for so long inside, and whether they had reached an agreement?

When they saw Sir Yang and Frank Kerry coming out with a smile, the two seemed to think that the CEO and Sir Yang had reached a cooperation.

"Sir Yang, we will visit you next time."

"Mr. Frank, see you next time."

Yang Ming shook hands with Frank, John Opel, and John Akers respectively.

When the two men left with Frank Carey, Yang Ming looked at John Akers. He felt that he might not even need to meet Bill Gates once, as he would have defeated Bill Gates.

As long as he came to this world, he would never give Bill Gates another chance.

In history, Bill Gates once boasted in front of reporters. If Wang An had not lost to him, he might have become a teacher.

Even when Bill Gates first came out, he was still thinking about a monthly salary of $10,000, which he was already very satisfied with.

In other words, Bill Gates in history never thought that he would have the opportunity to become the richest man in the world.

. . .

In the next few days.

Yang Ming met with John Young, CEO of HP, respectively.

HP's headquarters also belong to San Francisco and Silicon Valley, which is not too far from Yang Ming.

John Young learned that Sir Yang was at Connor Manor, and hurried to meet Yang Ming.

John Young asked for the 200,000 office computer order, and Yang Ming made the same request as IBM.

That is, to install Windows system on HP computers.

After the two sides discussed and looked at the Windows 1 system, John Yang also agreed.

Yang Ming and John Yang reached an order for 50,000 office computers.

Next, Yang Ming met with Fujitsu, Toshiba, Hitachi and other people who produced computers or were related to computer manufacturing from Japan.

They all flew from Tokyo to meet Yang Ming at Connor Manor in San Francisco.

For them, Yang Ming made the same request, giving these companies an order of 10,000 office computers each.

For these companies, the order of 10,000 office computers is really not small now.

In addition, for the Empire Group, they hope to further cooperate in the future, that is to say, the cooperation proposed by the Empire Group now is nothing to these companies.

. . .

May 23, 1980.

Friday.

Afternoon.

Yang Ming is walking with Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong in Connor Manor.

Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Boss, guests are here."

"What guests?"

"He said his name is Wang An, and there is Mr. Wang's son Wang Lie, and a white man named John."

Wang An and his son?

Yang Ming didn't expect that this Chinese who was called the light of American technology in the 1980s was still here.

As for the white man named John?

There are too many people named John in American country.

Yang Ming went back to the living room.

Yang Ming saw an old man in his sixties, a man in his thirties, and a white man in his forties.

Wang An and his son and John, they hurried to San Francisco by plane from Hong Kong, and immediately drove to Connor Manor.

Wang An learned about it from Robbie, the head of Wang An Computer Company in San Francisco.

These days, San Francisco and Silicon Valley have heard that Sir Yang talked with IBM CEO Mr. Frank Carey, HP CEO Mr. John Yang, Pingguo Company's Jobs, and Dongyang Computer Company at Connor Manor.

So Wang An seemed more anxious.

Wang An is now old and has not had a good rest these days. When Yang Ming saw Dr. Wang for the first time, he felt that he looked very tired.

A sixty-year-old man took thirteen hours to arrive at San Francisco International Airport, and then took another two hours to drive to Connor Manor.

"Hello, Sir Yang."

When Wang An saw Yang Ming, he seemed very excited.

"Hello, Dr. Wang."

Yang Ming also went over to shake hands with Wang An.

It must be said that in Yang Ming's previous life, Wang An was still very powerful. Even in the 1980s, when he was at his peak, he returned to Yanjing and was personally received by the old man.

Wang An, whose ancestral home is Gusu, was born in Shanghai in 1920.

Wang An's father graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University. Influenced by his father, he had good grades since elementary school. An completed part of the high school courses in junior high school. At the age of 16, he took the college entrance examination of the Republic of China and was admitted to the mechanical and electrical engineering major of Shanghai Jiaotong University with the first place in his major.

In 1940, after graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University at the age of 20, Wang An stayed at the school to teach and became an assistant in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

After the war, Wang An, who performed well during the war, joined the training program and continued his studies at Harvard University in the United States.

Wang An cherished the opportunity to study at Harvard University. He got all A grades in the first semester and successfully obtained a full scholarship.

. . .

In 1976, Wang An launched the 1200 computer and WPS processor 2200 installed with the WPS system, which was a huge innovation in the office field.

With this product, people were able to see the text editing process on the computer screen for the first time.

When it was exhibited at the New York Exhibition, many participants were stunned by its functions.

In 1976, the WPS system was promoted and applied throughout the United States. From the Baigong Office to small and medium-sized enterprises, all used the WPS system. That year, Wang An Computer Company's revenue exceeded 100 million US dollars, which put IBM under great pressure.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Wang An Computer Company became the overlord of the computer industry.

Wang An still couldn't forget the humiliation left by IBM. He once advertised in the newspaper "Try our products, forget IBM".

. . .

In 1988, Wang An was inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame.

He was hailed as the light of the Chinese.

But, not long after that, Wang An and his Wang An computer also stopped working.
