Chapter 117

The software industry is in turmoil, and the balance of the personal computer industry has been broken. Wang An's first generation of personal computers finally appeared.

In terms of the use of hardware, Wang an computer is also quite conservative, basically on a par with Apple's second-generation computer.

You must say that this is a bit larger word processor can also be, their design is really poor.

But big factories are big factories, and their computers are also popular in the market. The personal computer market ushered in the era of scuffle for the first time.

White software's sharp price reduction has prompted computer manufacturers to increase publicity. Many users who hold money to wait and see no longer wait.

Once again, the theory of useless computers has been ridiculed, which makes some old people very embarrassed.

It's not up to experts to say whether it's useful or not. It's something that consumers should decide. Why should bricklayer take over the job? Let's give young people more opportunities.

Wang an computer, as the first giant to step into personal PC, naturally realized the broad market. The unit price of PC is far higher than that of word processor. The stock that is going against the trend shows the problem.

Such a good start naturally leads to the dissatisfaction of Qiao Dashen.

"William, you have to be faster. We can't wait for our Lisa project."

Listening to Joe's voice, William White didn't care.

"Old Joe, our beta version is in place. Your problem is the production link. I can't sell only one software. As you can see, our competitors are also very strong." William White didn't eat his way and just threw the pot.

"Well, well, don't forget your promise."

"Well, don't worry. I'm very trustworthy."

's request for Joe's God is also unable to make complaints about William White. First, Apple's software is supplied for three months. What's so good about your Lisa project is absolutely something that can't be turned back.

Joe doesn't know that his biggest opponent is not Wang An, but the blue giant Gabriel gates is the key. Wang An's system, like Apple's, is exclusive and can't beat the blue giant with a group of kids.

Joe didn't take Bill Gates seriously. He helped Bill's business and even encouraged Microsoft to develop office software.

Bill Gates really has a headache now. It's just that he's not so impulsive. William White is not so easy to deal with. It's better not to have a confrontation.

"Boss, Microsoft got the order from giant blue. Although the news is very secret, we still know it."

For this result, although William White was disappointed, he didn't pay much attention to it. "Well, Tom, find out their plan. Microsoft can't make it out of thin air. They bought that company or got some authorization."

"All right, boss. I'll check it right away." See the boss is not very unhappy tone, his heart finally put down.

"Is MSDOS coming out? Why are there still some small expectations? Ha ha

In a sense, it's actually insider trading. What's Bill Gates' system? MSDOS is just garbage he bought. It's sold after a little change.

No matter when the IBM PC appears, white software will launch supporting software for the first time. Now these things are just a little fuss. If they fall behind in the next wave, there will be no white software in the world.

Qiao Dashen meets challenges, and so does William White. He is not only in trouble in the software field, but also in the arcade market.

Motorola's 68000 series, in fact, has another derivative, the 65 series derived from the 68 series. The sad thing is that this thing does not belong to Motorola.

Similar to the reason for the birth of AMD, due to different ideas, the core personnel have found a new way.

This MOC company is also a wonderful flower. The 6502 Series CPU is almost open source. It seems that any factory can produce it, and the cost is close to zero.

Today, it's a dream to think about monopoly. Apple's first and second generations all use this CPU, and yadali's 2600 also uses this chipset.

In William White's view, 6800 has greater potential. If we can make a breakthrough in low power consumption, this chip has great potential.

"Here comes Mr. Philson, boss."

"Well, let him go to the conference room. We'll go straight to the meeting."

"All right, boss."

It's not difficult to obtain Motorola's authorization, but it's more difficult to acquire the chip department as a whole. However, William White is unwilling to give it a try.

"Philson, what does Motorola say?"

"Boss, there is no problem with production authorization. Their production capacity and yield are not good. They are also looking for a third-party factory."

"Well, there won't be anything in the short term, certainly not in the long term. Can the guys who went to MOC at the beginning pack up and dig them back?"

Philson thought about it and said, "if there are enough interests, I believe they will not refuse.""OK, let's do it right away and tell the manufacturer that we need a partner."

To a certain extent, William White is in a bind. Motorola originally had no idea about the chip department, but it's different with the arcade of legendary world. This department is also very profitable.

His video game console doesn't want to use 6502. Although it's very good, the threshold is too low. It's easy for yadali to threaten him if it is developed on this basis.

It's not appropriate to take 6800 directly. It's a huge waste. The frequency of the red and white machine is less than 2 Hz. Why should he take it too high.

The only problem is bandwidth. The red and white computers have experienced technical failures, which is mainly caused by insufficient bandwidth. This is the inherent defect of the 8-bit processor.

Since those geniuses can produce 8-bit processors on the basis of 68000, it will not be difficult to produce 16 bit processors. If they can produce these devices, they will definitely hang up Intel's 8080.

In fact, Motorola is also hesitating. In their view, although 68000 still has potential, its profit margin is just like that. It has dropped from $320 to tens of dollars. According to the current situation, it may fall to $50.

William White didn't have time to get tangled, and departments began to move quickly.

In this way, Motorola obviously can't sit still. What they want is not 6800, but chips for video game machines.

It's not difficult for them to come to the above conclusion. What they need is design authorization. They directly intend to modify it on the basis of 68000. It's too simple to come to this conclusion. Why their CPUs are falling in price desperately is that they are trapped by MOC. The lawsuit has been tangled for a long time.

William White is reasonable and willing to pay for it, but MOC is not so particular about it.

How about cooperation?

"What? How to cooperate with the chip division

"Yes, boss, they don't want to sell as a whole, but they can cooperate."

"Well, this can be discussed. I need at least 30% of the shares. The production base will be in the footpot, so there will be a footpot investor."

"All right, boss, we'll talk right away."
