1991 Starting from the core

"BOSS, can I ask, what is the basis for your judgment?"

For the first time, after thinking for a long time, Qin Si chose to ask "why" for the first time.

It's not that she doesn't trust Su Yuanshan, but because she trusts him too much, she finds it extremely difficult to understand.

In the investment world, in addition to joining forces to manipulate the market - in Qin Si's view, this is just a little trick - the real wisdom is to grasp the lifeblood of the economy and always stand on the cusp of the storm.

Qin Si knew that Su Yuanshan was a genius, especially in the fields of programming and integrated circuit design, but he had never had any experience in the economic or investment fields.

This contrast puzzled Qin Si and almost turned her into a demon.

Now, when Su Yuanshan once again proposed that the bubble of the Internet era was coming, she knew that if she didn't ask... she would be worried sooner or later.

"Want to know?" Su Yuanshan looked at her with a smile.

"I want it. I really want it!" Qin Si nodded without hesitation.

"Actually, it's very simple..." Seeing Qin Si's eagerness for knowledge, Su Yuanshan knew that Qin Si might have been enduring this problem for many years.

"I don't look at capital's trends from the perspective of capital." Su Yuanshan stopped laughing and said seriously: "Sister Qin Si, no one in this world thinks more about the future of technological development and understands it better than me. ——My understanding of the Internet alone is equal to the understanding of all the technology experts and technical experts on Wall Street put together——Do you believe it?”

“And now, a man who is as smart as me has published a best-selling book with the same confidence in the future that I have – do you think Mr. Gates, as the world’s richest man, is qualified to blow up this balloon? "

Qin Si bit his lower lip hard, took a few deep breaths and nodded slowly: "Haomin said that you are the most powerful genius he has ever seen."

"It doesn't matter whether you are a genius or not. What is important is that there are so many geniuses in the world. I am the only one who thinks about the future of technology and believes in the future. At the same time, I have the ability to move in the direction I believe in."

"Based on this, before I make a mistake in my direction, the development of the Internet will definitely come to a standstill in the explosion as I expected, and at the same time expose the lies of capital."

"I gave this time three years. In the next three years, there will be countless Internet companies going public, and there will be countless hot money pouring into the Internet... and the only thing we have to do is to leave early."

"I understand." Qin Si nodded slowly.

"By the way, do you know about Epstein?"

Su Yuanshan was about to leave when he suddenly heard the name and was slightly startled: "Have you heard of it? It is said that he is a playboy from Wall Street?"

"Yes...Apstein wants to get to know you." Qin Si pointed to the notebook, opened the email interface, shrugged and said: "If you are not interested, I will just tell you that you are not available."

"Not interested." Su Yuanshan frowned slightly. After a pause, he said: "This person has a bad reputation, so you'd better keep your distance."

Qin Si was stunned: "Huh? Where did you hear the gossip?"

Su Yuanshan thought to himself about the gossip I heard from later generations - this birdman did too many evil things, and then made many people get into trouble, and finally died in prison for no reason...

He didn't want to deal with this kind of person.

"Don't worry about this. Anyway, I don't like this person."

Qin Si smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll just reply that you don't like him."

"..."

The next day, Su Yuanshan and Ye Rudai visited Microsoft's headquarters. At this time, Melinda is expecting to give birth in Washington - it is said that the due date is next month. From this, it can be seen that Mr. Gates...at least does not meet Ye Rudai's standard of a good man.

In Gates' office, Su Yuanshan continued to chat with Gates about the direction of 64-bit systems and processors for nearly three hours. Finally, Gates finally verbally agreed to Su Yuanshan.

"Su, I'm sorry that Microsoft can't make a choice among processors. But what I can promise you is that as long as you launch a 64-bit processor, Microsoft can provide you with system support."

"Thank you." Su Yuanshan was satisfied to get this answer from Gates.

"But, Su." Gates thought for a while, then looked at Su Yuanshan seriously: "How long will you continue to support Linux?"

"..." Su Yuanshan looked at Gates' sincere eyes and suddenly felt a little "what?" - Yuanxin and Xinghai have been optimizing and adapting Linux, especially the Linux distribution developed by Yuanxin. It has vaguely become the benchmark in the current Linux market.

It's really unjustifiable that I am constantly cooperating with Microsoft, and then secretly support a system that competes with Windows.

"It's like this..." Su Yuanshan calmed down, knowing that he was a little unreasonable, and said with a smile: "Bill, you know the advantages of Linux compared to Windows better than I do - hey! Forget it, I promise you that in the future, Core only supports the mobile version of Linux system, is that okay?"

Gates still stared at Su Yuanshan.

"Hey... Within this year, Yuanxin's notebooks will be launched. By then, can we pre-order the X86 architecture notebooks with the Windows 95 system pre-installed?"

"That's pretty much it."

In order to install the Windows 95 system in the mainland, he went to the mainland more than once - but due to the specific situation and pricing strategy in the mainland, the popularity of genuine Windows 95 in the mainland is extremely low, and everything is pirated.

Gates certainly didn't panic, because he and Su Yuanshan had the same judgment. A country with a population of more than one billion is a sustainable and huge market.

What Microsoft wants to do is a century-old business. Compared with piracy, he is more worried about the popularity of other operating systems.

But if it can improve the copyright awareness of mainland users and the PC industry and pave the way for payment of future versions of the system, Microsoft will naturally be happy to see it.

"But I hope that other PC manufacturers will be like you." Gates said and looked at Su Yuanshan: "If they can centralized procurement, we can give them great preferential policies."

"Take your time, Bill..." Su Yuanshan smiled and comforted: "My motherland is still very poor, you have to give her some time."

…

After staying in Seattle for three days, Su Yuanshan returned to Silicon Valley.

At the same time, at the conference center of Yuanxin Science and Technology Park, preparations for a press conference, whether large or small in scale, were underway.

"Mr. Chen, can you read these words clearly?"

Chen Jing stood in the center of the stage in the conference center, and a ray of light shone from the projector above her head to the big screen behind her.

On one side of the stage, Duan Yongping stood in front of a laptop, using the mouse to enlarge the page.
