v3 Chapter 785： Daheng Xia is going to pretend

Seattle Computer Products Company!

The next day, Xia Yu followed the position on the information that had already been investigated and found the target this time.

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

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

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

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

The premise is that Xia Yu must get the operating system out.

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

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

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

The three founders of Seattle Computer Products are not from wealthy families, so they are not as good as Bill Gates in the long-term perspective, and the effect of spending money is good.

Due to time constraints, Xia Yu and others negotiated with them four times and negotiated a price. They purchased Seattle Computer Products for a high price of 6.2 million US dollars.

As for the three company founders, two have left. The most important CTO, Andy Rose, changed his mind and stayed after talking to Xia Yu alone for an afternoon.

...

"Andy, could you please take me to the company to get familiar with the situation."

One morning, Xia Yu came to Seattle Computer Products, found the only founder Andy Rose left, and said with a faint smile.

Andy Rose said very obediently: "Ok, boss, please follow me."

Andy Rose 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 Seattle Computer Products with two friends. Because of his strong technical strength, he served as the company's chief technology officer.

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

At that time Andy Rose suddenly changed his mind and did not leave his job, but he made his two friends to death, but Andy Rose was very determined.

No way, for a person obsessed with technology, nothing is more attractive to him 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, looking forward to the infinite future, and drew a very delicious, seemingly within reach of the pie, which evoked Andy Rose’s infinite yearning. .

In the end, Andy Rose bowed to Xia Yu's ideas and was fooled by him.

Xia Yu estimated that his skill in flicking that afternoon was definitely comparable to Jack Ma's art of drawing cakes.

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

This department, in a huge office area, at a glance, there are at least 70 or 80 people.

In front of these people, there is an Apple II computer that is currently on the market. Everyone is concentrating on tapping the keyboard, as if programming.

With so many Apple II computers, it costs at least $150,000 to buy.

But AppleII is indeed the best personal computer today and the best programming tool. Only with it can you create value more efficiently.

No matter how you save it, you shouldn't save money for the guy who eats.

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

"Andy, let me see first."

Andy Rose was a little confused and couldn't figure out what Xia Yu wanted to do, so he nodded ignorantly and responded softly, "Okay."

Then, he followed Xia Yu 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 appear to be clear to Xia Yu's eyes, just as simple as those who have passed Level 8 of Professional English reading twenty-six letters.

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

The current programming languages ​​and algorithms are still in the early stages of the car. Although American Telephone and Telegraph's Bell Labs 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, which is formulated by the American National Standards Institute.

The C language is not universal, let alone C++ and JAVA.

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

The programmer looked back and saw a few people standing behind him. For Xia Yu, he had heard that he seemed to be the new boss of the acquiring company, and Andy Rose was the chief technology officer.

Standing behind him by such a few important figures made him feel uncomfortable. He had typed the wrong keyboard several times during programming, and he was obviously not focused.

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

"Thank you!"

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

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

At this moment, he stopped behind a 30-year-old programmer, and looked at the frowning programmer who was in a state of thinking. Xia Yu looked at the computer screen again.

In a few moments, Xia Yu finished reading the code, and there was a faint flash in his eyes.

It turned out to be a program error, and it seems that the cause of the error is more advanced, not ordinary wrong letters, wrong words or symbols.

Seeing Xia Yu seemed interested, Andy Rose whispered in Xia Yu’s ear: "Boss, this is the company’s senior engineer Jack Rhodes. His ability ranks among the top of the company. Now he is thinking about the problem. It’s one of the company’s problems. It’s been stuck for two weeks. I don’t have a clear idea yet, so I asked the company’s engineers to take turns to try and see if they can be solved by inspiration."

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

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

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

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

Jack Rhodes was taken aback. Although he got up obediently, his eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Xia Yu, as if he was wondering if Andy Rose was joking.

Andy Rose shook his head, with anticipation rising in his heart, and said to Jack Rhodes: "Jack, don't talk, just watch quietly."

Jack Rhodes shrugged and whispered, "Okay."

Regarding the dialogue and eye contact between the two, Xia Yu did not pay attention. He directly pulled the program being edited to the top and began to look at it carefully.

PS: It's a new week soon, and it's the end of the month, ask for a recommended monthly pass!
