Chapter 785 Xia Daheng Is Going to Pretend

Seattle Computer Products!

The next day, Xia Yu found the target this time by following the location on the information that had already been investigated.

This company, a well-known software company in Seattle, was established in 1972 and now has more than 100 employees.

This time, Xia Yu intends to fully acquire Seattle Computer Products Company.

Since Microsoft can't take it down, as long as it takes down the company, the effect is the same.

Even because of the strength and popularity of Seattle Computer Products Company, and Xia Yu's status as a director of IBM, it will be easier to obtain IBM's operating system orders than in history.

The premise is that Xia Yu must come up with the operating system.

In the previous life, Microsoft bought the QDOS system in the hands of an employee of this company and transformed it into its own MS-DOS system.

After entering the company, Xia Yu bluntly proposed to acquire Seattle Computer Products Company.

This time, he was different from his attitude towards Microsoft. He appeared to be relatively strong. During the negotiation, he let his subordinates come forward, and made a strong decision at the critical moment.

None of the three founders of Seattle Computer Products came from wealthy families, so they can't match Bill Gates in terms of long-term vision, and the effect of spending money is good.

Because of the urgency of time, Xia Yu and others negotiated with them four times, and then negotiated a price, and purchased the Seattle Computer Products Company wholly at a high price of 6.2 million US dollars.

As for the three company founders, two left. The most important chief technology officer (CTO) Andy Ross changed his mind and stayed after talking with Xia Yu for an afternoon alone.

...

"Andy, please take me to the company to get acquainted with the situation."

One morning, Xia Yu came to the Seattle Computer Products Company, found the only remaining founder, Andy Ross, and ordered with a light smile.

Andy Rose said submissively: "Okay, boss, please come with me."

Andy Ross is also a genius. He graduated from Stanford University with a major in computer science. After graduation, he returned to his hometown of Seattle and founded the Seattle Computer Products Company with two friends. Because of his strong technical strength, he served as the company's chief technology officer.

It can be said that the most valuable person in the Seattle Computer Products Company belongs to him. After all, most of the company's products were developed under his leadership.

At that time, Andy Ross suddenly changed his mind and did not leave the job, but he was angry with his two friends, but Andy Ross was very determined.

No way, for someone who is obsessed with technology, nothing can attract him more than new knowledge and new ideas.

That afternoon, Xia Yu had a good chat with him about the development of the computer and software industry, looked forward to the infinite future, and drew a very delicious cake that seemed to be within reach, which aroused Andy Rose's infinite yearning. .

In the end, Andy Ross obeyed Xia Yu's idea and was fooled by him.

Xia Yu reckoned that his skill in fooling around that afternoon was definitely comparable to Jack Ma's great cake painting skills.

After a while, Xia Yu followed Andy Ross to the company's software development department.

This department, in a huge office area, at a glance, there are at least seventy or eighty people.

In front of these people, there is an Apple II computer that is currently on the market, and everyone is attentively typing on the keyboard, as if programming.

So many Apple II computers, at least $150,000 to buy.

But Apple II is indeed the best personal computer today, and the best programming tool. Only when it is used can it create value more efficiently.

No matter how much you save, you shouldn't save money on the guy who buys food.

Andy Ross wanted to applaud everyone's attention, Xia Yu stopped his hand directly, shook his head to stop his move, and said softly.

"Andy, I'll take a look first."

Andy Ross is a little confused,

Unable to figure out what Xia Yu wanted to do, he nodded ignorantly and replied softly, "Okay."

Then, he followed Xia Yu's side and walked around with Xia Yu.

Starting near the door, Xia Yu came behind a programmer and watched him typing lines of code.

These seemingly boring lines of code are clear to Xia Yu's eyes, as simple as someone who has passed the eighth level of professional English reading twenty-six letters.

No way, Xia Yu is proficient in the programming skills of later generations, and the programming skills of later generations, algorithms and grammars, etc., have been continuously developed and optimized for decades, but looking back now, it is almost like a doctoral student entering elementary school. .

The current programming language and algorithms are still in the early stage of the car. Although Bell Labs of the AT&T Corporation officially published the C language in 1978, it did not define a complete C language standard.

If you want to really formulate the C language standard, you have to wait until 1983, when it was formulated by the American National Standards Institute.

There is no universal C language, let alone C++ and JAVA.

The common basic language, which happened to be there in memory, was simply soease to Xia Yu.

The programmer looked back and saw a few people standing behind him. He had heard of Xia Yu, who seemed to be the new boss of the acquisition company, and Andy Ross was the chief technology officer.

He felt uncomfortable with so many important people standing behind him, and he hit the wrong keyboard several times while programming, apparently not concentrating.

Xia Yu smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Don't be nervous, man, work hard!"

"thanks!"

The programmer stared, said with a smile, and continued to work with great motivation.

Xia Yu then continued to walk down, stopping from time to time, observing the work of different programmers.

At this moment, he stopped behind a programmer in his thirties, looked at the programmer who frowned and fell into a state of thinking, Xia Yu looked at the computer screen again.

After a few moments, the code was read by Xia Yu, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

It turned out to be a program error, and it seems that the cause of the error is more advanced, not the common wrong letter, wrong word symbol or the like.

Seeing that Xia Yu seemed interested, Andy Ross whispered in Xia Yu's ear: "Boss, this is Jack Rhodes, a senior engineer of the company, and his ability ranks first in the company, and now he is thinking about the problem. It’s one of the company’s problems, it’s been stuck for two weeks, and I don’t have a clear clue yet, so let the company’s engineers take turns to try it out to see if they can solve it suddenly.”

Xia Yu nodded slightly to show his understanding, and patted Jack Rhodes on the shoulder, awakening the latter.

The latter was interrupted and was in a bad mood, but after seeing Xia Yu and Andy Ross next to him, he took a deep breath.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Please let me see."

Andy Ross immediately said to Jack Rhodes: "Jack, please get up first and let the boss take a look."

Jack Rhodes was stunned for a moment. Although he got up obediently, he looked at Xia Yu with questioning eyes, as if wondering if Andy Rose was joking.

Andy Ross shook his head, a look of anticipation rose in his heart, and said to Jack Rhodes: "Jack, don't talk for now, just watch quietly."

Jack Rhodes shrugged and whispered, "Okay."

Xia Yu didn't pay attention to the conversation and eye contact between the two, and directly pulled the program that was being edited to the top and began to read it carefully.

PS: It's a new week, and the end of the month. Ask for a recommended monthly pass!
