"Boss, how is it?"
When Xia Yu returned to the four-star hotel where Boca Raton was staying, Thyssen Patterson and others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately gathered around, looking at Xia Yu expectantly and nervously and asked.
This is the moment that decides fate!
Although they had strong confidence after learning that the boss Xia Yu was a director of IBM, they also knew that the decision-making power of a company's strategy belongs to the company's CEO, not a director.
If the operating system developed by the company can be purchased by IBM, it will be difficult for the operating system to fail. IBM's purchase will be a golden sign, and rocket engines will be installed for the promotion of the SCP-DOS operating system.
Looking at the expectations of everyone, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "I will take the on-site inspection performance tomorrow, and then IBM President Frank T`Kari will come. Can we cooperate and decide based on the results shown tomorrow. Are you confident? "
"Have!"
Thyssen Patterson and others immediately responded happily.
As long as they get the opportunity, the next step is to test performance. They are confident that their company's products will definitely conquer the president of IBM.
Xia Yu said with satisfaction: “It’s good if you have confidence. Let’s take a rest for one day today. By the way, you will rehearse how to show it tomorrow. Don’t shame our company.”
"Don't worry, boss!"
...
The next day, seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Xia Yu took Thyssen Patterson and others who were already ready to go to the microcomputer R&D department a few kilometers away.
When Xia Yu arrived, he happened to see Frank T. Cary waiting at the door.
"Frank, it's been a long time since I saw you, I'm so glad to see you!"
"Mr. Xia, me too!"
"These are my employees, Thyssen Patterson, Jack Origi..."
After exchanging greetings with each other, Xia Yu introduced both parties again, and then a group of people walked inside.
As he walked, Xia Yu said to Frank T. Cary: "Frank, I brought things, do you want to check them directly?"
"If you don't need to rest, go now." Frank T. Cary said with a smile.
"Then go directly."
"OK! Tang is already in the laboratory, let's go there together."
After a short while, everyone came to the laboratory. After Xia Yu gave a brief introduction to both parties, he went directly to the test procedure.
The test program is divided into two processes. The first process is to directly demonstrate the performance of the computer with the SCP-DOS system installed by Xia Yu and others. The second process is to install the SCP-DOS operating system into the IBM company. Among the microcomputers developed, Don Esther Qi and others tested it.
When Thyssen Patterson and others assembled the computer and turned it on, a group of people gathered around. Not only Frank T. Cary and Don Esther, but other backbones of the R&D department also gathered around.
The first one showed the process and made the eyes of those present brighten up. When the second process was over, the smiles on Frank T. Cary and others' faces could not be concealed.
The test result is obvious, satisfied!
"President Frank, this SCP-DOS operating system has exceeded our expectations. This is a great operating system. In terms of performance testing, it is even better than Apple's operating system!"
"Although there was still a little flaw in the test just now, it was because it was not fully compatible with our hardware. As long as the debugging and modification are in place in the later period, there is no problem."
Don Esther Qi is full of praise for this operating system.
After Thyssen Patterson and others heard this, they all smiled, but they also knew that the final decision was still in the hands of Frank T. Cary, so they suppressed their inner excitement and looked at Frank T. Cary together. in.
On the contrary, Xia Yu was very calm in his heart. He smiled and said to Frank T. Cary: "Frank, what do you think?"
Frank T. Cary was also an executive from the technical level, so he understood and understood the entire demonstration process, and naturally knew how the SCP-DOS operating system was performing.
He also studied the Apple computer system and knew what Don Esther Qi said was true.
IBM’s microcomputer was designed to compete with Apple from the very beginning. The SCP-DOS system that Xia Yu has brought is better than Apple’s, and it has a great effect on IBM’s microcomputer. What is there to hesitate?
Therefore, he didn't have any appetite for Xia Yu. He said on the spot: "Mr. Xia, this is a great operating system. I can't seem to find a reason not to choose."
As he said, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu smiled and shook his hand instead.
"Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
"Papa Papa..."
Seeing that the cooperation was reached, Thyssen Patterson and others were ecstatic and couldn't help applauding, and the others in the laboratory also followed.
After releasing his hand, Frank T. Cary said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, you just watched it, because the company’s microcomputer hardware has not been completely finalized, so the operating system compatibility problem needs to be improved. The company sends someone to help."
"No problem, it should be."
Xia Yu nodded and said. Then he looked at several employees beside him, his eyes fixed on Thyssen Patterson, who also realized that it was him, and his expression became serious.
Xia Yu told Thyssen Patterson: "Thyssen, you will be responsible for connecting with Tang next. If there is any difficulty that can't be solved, you can ask the company for help."
"Ok, promise to complete the task!"
Thyssen Patterson replied solemnly, with his head held high, and then looking at Don Esther, his eyes met, and the two smiled at each other.
"Mr. Xia, this time I did not bring any other personnel. I have to go back to the company to sign the agreement."
"No problem, it just happens that I haven't returned to IBM for so long, so let's go there together."
"That's right..."
...
At noon, to celebrate the cooperation, Xia Yu hosted Frank T. Cary and others at Bocaleyton. After the lunch, Xia Yu and Frank T. Cary set off for Almonk, New York.
When I arrived in Almonk, it was almost evening. After Xia Yu separated from Frank T. Cary, he looked for a place to stay by himself.
By the next day, Xia Yu came to IBM, and after two hours of negotiation, he reached an agreement and reached a secret business cooperation agreement with IBM on behalf of Seattle Computer Products.
Because Xia Yu himself is a major shareholder and director of IBM, and his wealth is strong, Frank T. Cary did not completely put Xia Yu in the same cooperative position as he did with Bill Gates in his previous life, even though Seattle Computer Products The company is far inferior to IBM.
After the agreement was signed, the cooperation was officially reached, and Xia Yu's heart was completely let go.
He changed history once again. As long as the cooperation with IBM does not break, and the aircraft carrier of IBM does not break, the SCP-DOS system will become the standard operating system for PCs. The glory of the previous windows system that dominates the world will be controlled by SCP-DOS. System staged.
After the cooperation was reached, Xia Yu did not plan to stay any longer, and was ready to return to Seattle, and announced the good news to the employees who were looking forward to it.
Frank T. Cary got up and sent Xia Yu out.
When Xia Yu was sent to the gate, Xia Yu couldn't help but raise his brows when he saw two figures walking not far away, showing a meaningful smile.
Frank T. Cary followed Xia Yu's gaze and found that it was Ms. Mary Maxwell Gates, the director of the company, and a young man who resembled her. Could it be her son?
"Ms. Gates, good morning!"
"President Frank, Xia Xian, good morning!"
After Mary Maxwell Gates left, Xia Yu and Frank T. Cary greeted her with greetings.
"Ms. Gates, who is this?"
Frank T. Cary looked at the young man beside Mary Maxwell Gates and asked about it.
Mary Maxwell Gates introduced with a big smile: "This is my son, Bill Gates."
"Bill, this is the Frank president of the company."
Mary Maxwell Gates introduced to her son, but found that his son was a little gaffe. She looked at Xia Yu in shock. Mary Maxwell Gates couldn't help frowning and said to him: "Bill, this is The director of the company, Mr. Xia Yuxia."
Xia Yu turned out to be a director of IBM!
Hearing his mother's introduction, Bill Gates' mentality suddenly collapsed. At this moment, he felt in a bad mood.
He actually refused Xia Yu's acquisition before, so this time he came to IBM, even if his mother is here, can he still have a relationship with IBM?
The abnormality of Bill Gates made Mary Maxwell Gates frown. Before coming, she had told her son to be confident, but she fell off the chain when she saw two important people in the company. How could she not be angry.
So she raised her volume and said angrily, "Bill, are you uncomfortable today? Why don't you tell mom?"
Bill Gates came back to his senses, but his brain was still messed up. He grinned barely and explained, "Mom, I'm sorry I lost my mind."
"No, you should not apologize to me, you should apologize to Mr. Frank and Mr. Xia, your behavior is very rude."
Mary Maxwell Gates said that Bill Gates also reminded Bill Gates that he wanted to re-impress him.
Frank T. Cary kept smiling, while Xia Yu smiled and said to Mary Maxwell Gates: "Ms. Gates, many people will be surprised to see my age. Your son performs better than others. Much better."
It’s okay if Xia Yu doesn’t say it He seems to have rescued Bill Gates, Frank T. Cary has a slightly worse impression of Bill Gates, thinking that Bill Gates is a People who judge people by their appearance, and are not good at hiding their emotions, are far from the standard deviation of a successful person.
Without waiting for Gates' mother and son to speak, a car drove up to Xia Yu. Xia Yu said to the three of them: "My car is here, I have something to do, so I will leave first, Frank, Ms. Gates, and Mr. Bill, See you next time!"
After speaking, Xia Yu waved his hand to open the car door and sat in.
"Goodbye!"
After smiling and waving goodbye to Xia Yu, Frank T. Cary smiled and said to Mary Maxwell Gates: "Ms. Gates, shall we go in?"
Mary Maxwell Gates smiled, as if nothing happened just now, and said: "Okay, President Frank, please first! I will first take my son to visit and learn about the company's system."
