Chapter 858

The basic interpreter didn’t make much money because his income was only more than $10,000 in the first year, right, because only 1/10 of the consumers were willing to spend money on this from Microsoft The basic interpreter benefited from the early period of this popular sharing culture in Silicon Valley. Because the smaller the audience, the more they love to share. The remaining 90% of consumers get this program for free, so piracy really doesn’t start in China. Yes, and entrepreneurship, if you want to play for a long time, you will definitely not be able to rely on enthusiasm. You must find a reasonable business model and realize it. That’s why Gates’s famous letter is a computer enthusiast Xin A criticized the argument that you had to spend money on this kind of hardware at the time to buy this supposedly software, and you felt that it was based on the argument that sharing was free, software, and labor had inherent value, and it was supposed to be paid. The business model of software, in fact, the contribution is huge. Without the so-called authorized version of the business model that he invented,

If we can’t deal with all the codes today, farmers don’t make money. As a family For software that wants to make money, the company wants to maximize revenue, so the software company must do its best. If its products are not widely distributed and they charge licensing fees, the more users there are, the more its marginal effect. The stronger, because the cost of the software you develop is fixed, and I can sell it to 10,000 people after I make a copy. The cost is getting lower and lower. For example, when Microsoft signed an agreement with the MTS, the attorney added a special clause, that is to say, MTS should do its best to promote and commercialize the basic language interpreter license without any conditions.

Otherwise, the license holder will have sufficient reasons to terminate the contract, which proves that the competition in the PC market was very fierce at the time, and the first-mover advantage of MTSMTS was no longer there. After all, it was the hardware stacking. It’s okay, as long as the supply chain is fixed. When he finally chose to part ways with the lawsuit, the judge thought that your buddy did not have the obligation to travel the most to promote the source code, so it directly led to a result. Microsoft wants to sell the software to anyone. This result is for Microsoft. With this profitable model, it is undoubtedly a victory from head to tail, and it also opened up Microsoft’s decades-long business glory.

Although it is still in its infancy, a small company does not make much money through software, but it can be considered to have collected its first pot of gold and completed the original accumulation of this entrepreneurship. Then compare Look at the fateful old opponent Apple. This Microsoft has no advantage, and this PC is still a relatively high-end and niche market. The source, except that the commercial company will use the PC to do serious things, such as building a stock model, doing financial analysis or something. It was not until the launch of appleii in 1977 that it was regarded as a real fire and appleii, which was actually the world’s first spreadsheet software, was sold, because its appearance allows a person who does not understand programming can also conduct finance on appleii. Simulation, this immediately released the productivity of the PC, and compared to smart phones, although the PC market is said to be great, the reason for the immortality is its very high productivity attribute mobile phone. No matter what, if you want to make PPT to do Excel, you still have to feel comfortable with the PC. The success of the complaint is also very jealous. Look at this combination of hardware and software to make money, right? How can this opportunity be so vain? Slip away?

At first glance, this software and the many combination of youngster used to be very, this is the true meaning of everyone believes, so in order to make money, Microsoft has done such a thing, it becomes the country’s productivity The software, working on the road through the form of an external soft card, is a floppy drive, right?

And this microphone connected to this soft card, which allowed Microsoft to make 8 million U.S. dollars in a year in 1981. This made me happy, right? To put it bluntly, it is Apple who builds the hardware platform, and Microsoft is a developer on his hardware platform. So there is a saying in Silicon Valley that Gates worked for Jobs more than 30 years ago, but the reason why Microsoft was able to achieve the right in the PC field Apple’s overtake,

even eventually became the overlord in the PC field. It was not Apple that relied on. Part of the credit was due to the largest computer manufacturer IBM at the time. They made it in the Apple era. In contrast, this high-end commercial computer in the early days of IBM considered this PC to be a low-end gadget from top to bottom, right, but as the PC became more prosperous, IBM began to realize that this personal computing business was very important to the enterprise. The biggest problem with Gao’s wanting to get a share of the pie is lack of time, right? You said that we have to build a PC that can compete with Apple’s mature products within a year. That is definitely open. Thinking, that is to say, he wants to outsource all the hardware and software that constitute a PC. This is bold enough. This is unique in the history of IBM..
