Rebirth capital madman

Senior strings are busy with Goldman Sachs, the Huanyu PC business, Zhou Wen Yao suddenly reported a situation, "The boss, Gates urged you, Microsoft encountered trouble."

"Can Microsoft encountered what trouble?" Senior string is unexpected.

"It seems that Microsoft is staring at the company named Portek in Canada. It is the company to acquire the Cowng Star computer. The other party wants to account for Microsoft's Basic language compiler product." Zhou Wen Yao explained: "However, more detailed The situation, I have to listen to the Ginka face. "

"Well, let him come over." The chord temporarily put down the work on his hand.

Soon, Bill Gats and Paul Allen two people appeared in front of the hine, the former, the former, sent the secretary sent, and kneel, drinking a passion, and the Huang and Wolf are undoubted.

This is no wonder that Gates is only twenty-two years old this year. In accordance with the general youth's growth track, I have just graduated from the university, and I will enter the social work, and I think that the merchant is so sinister.

The chunghrine looks a close gorge's gesture, and the voice says: "There is no hurdle, don't worry, let's talk carefully, what is going on?"

Gates is fixed, starting to have a matter of origin.

Microsoft currently has only one product, which is the Basic language compiler, and is divided into Intel8080 and Z80, MC6800, MOS6502 in accordance with the microprocessor instruction architecture.

There is an additional explanation, like Microsoft's business model, called independent software suppliers, is a fresh thing relative to this era.

Before your personal computer has, the software is an accessory of hardware products.

When selling System360 mainframes, the system handed over to the customer is included inside.

Even at this stage, the Huanyu PC is also packaged into the product, when a whole is sold, thereby allowing customers to get an immediate system.

The advantage of this mode of Huanyu Personal Computer is that most of the personal computer customers only care about product features, like hackers, senior computer technology enthusiasts, etc., they have channels to find available software, and Huanyu PC contains directly containing the main Functional software, saving countless troubles.

It can be said that the independent software supplier sells products directly to computer manufacturers, and between the mainstream of the current software supplier and personal users, it is difficult to trade.

Because the software is a very special product, non-technical personnel is hard to imagine what the code is like, and you can understand the hard disk stored in paper strips, tapes, refrigerators, and have the contents of the floppy disk in recent years. There is also no specific operational model.

After all, the floppy disk has not fully popped, and the floppy disk drive for reading and writing is not intended to be a standard configuration of all personal computers; as for paper strips, tape, hard disk, not suitable for ordinary consumers, let Software buyers and sellers don't know how to deliver.

As for those hackers and senior computer technology enthusiasts, although they can find software themselves, they basically pay the use cost to independent software vendors, belong to pirated users.

To this end, Gates even published a public letter in young, accused this behavior that does not respect the software copyright. If the independent software supplier does not revenue, then who is willing to develop a more powerful use. Software?

Therefore, in this case, computer manufacturers are the main customers of Microsoft.

Among them, Cowng Star Computer has paid $ 200,000 in Microsoft in order to use the Intel8080 version of the Basic language compiler.

With the competition of the personal computer industry, when the prior calculator market price wars eats a big deflation of the cowherd computers, Edward Roberts, I will retreat, and finally with the price of six million dollars, put the Cowherd Star. Computer company sold to Canada's Portek, he has a personal two million dollars to go to the farm owner of the food and eat.

After Potch got the Cowherd Star Computer Company, the Poetle was used to play the brains and started to capture the patents of the Microsoft Basic compiler during the stage of fuzzy operation.

According to the logic of Port Ke, I acquired the Cowherd Star Computer Company, and the Cowng Star Computer has bought Microsoft Basic compiler, and the Microsoft Basic compiler belongs to themselves, any other company and individual, no right to sell the product.

How can Gates accept this kind of thing and immediately filed a legal proceedings.

Port Ke is a large number of more than 60 million US dollars to acquire Cowng Star Computer Company. Although Microsoft is one of the representatives of independent software suppliers at this stage, the annual sales will not exceed millions of dollars, and the strength is very good I can see it.

Therefore, Port Ke is not at the microsoft's resistance, and even can be described as being pleased.

At the beginning of the judiciary, the court announced that the court announced that before the official, the Intel8080 version of the Basic compiler sales revenue was temporarily frozen, Microsoft could not use this money.

This will be Microsoft's life, because the Intel8080 version of the Basic compiler provides the most important business income, and pays the corresponding usage fee like Huanyu PC. Now, Microsoft can't use this money, instantly caught the business dilemma.

Senior, I asked, "Bill, your father is not a well-known lawyer, what do he think of this?"

Gates replied: "My father said, like this patented lawsuit, it is normal for a few years. If you can't get a lawsuit as soon as possible, even if Microsoft has achieved the final victory, it will be dragged."

Senior, I am relieved, I have invested Microsoft, I won't look at it because of the shortage of funds. "

Gates didn't look at the tall strison. "Gao Jazz, I don't want to use my father's resources, as long as you will extend a helping hand, I will sell Microsoft shares on the hand."

Seeing the fierce reaction of Gates, the chordal mumb is laughter, he can probably guess the minds of the other party.

In order to operate Microsoft, Gates is despite the opposition of the family, resolutely retreat from Harvard University, now Microsoft caught in trouble, if Gates will go to the father to help, then the face is swept away, 20 years old guys, self-respect Is it strong.

"Bill, Paul, do you think I am a person who is robbing? A small Microsoft, is it worth the stone?" The Supreme Supil is not yet, and the big hand is awkward: "OK, this trouble, I am coming. Solve. You first take a rest, I will find a lawyer right away. "

Zhou Wen Yao sent a spiritual exciting Gates and Allen, came back to wait for a string, but saw his own boss squinted, and his finger knocked on the sofa armrest. I didn't know what I was thinking.

"Boss, do you think this lawsuit is tricky?" Zhou Wen Yaozhi said.

Senior strings smile, "Wen Yao, we are not valuing Huanyu personal computer, if this law is given to the media speculation, do you think?"

Zhou Wen Yao was so bright. "This is a lawsuit of obvious weakening. Why do Potke snapped up the patents of the Microsoft Basic compiler without a reputation? Nothing is enough to drive! And this is the personal computer market Unlimited business opportunities are optimistic. "

"Yes, this is this idea!" Senior Sound laughed, "You go to find a lawyer team, I will find media resources."
