The time has entered April.

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Fallout 2" both went on sale at this time.

The "Harry Potter" series is now a household name, and "Fallout" has also become quite famous because of last year's Cuban Missile Crisis and Catherine's $20 million. It currently holds the box office record.

, which was $15 million for "Ben-Hur", and now, this record is held by Catherine.

At this time, Catherine was sitting in the office for the rare occasion. She was preparing to interview someone, who was discovered by Bruce.

In fact, it shouldn't be an interview. Catherine just wants to see if this person is the same as the one in her memory. After all, Catherine only knows the name of this person.

A man with a flat nose walked in. He was actually quite good-looking, but the scars on his face and his nose took away his points a lot.

"Jerry Sanders?"

"Yes, Miss Edson."

Sanders was born in Chicago in 1936. His parents divorced when he was in kindergarten, and he was raised by his grandfather. He was very smart in reading, always had excellent grades, and skipped a grade in middle school.

But he likes to fight injustice, so he often gets involved in fights. At the University of Illinois, he studied engineering. Once, one of his classmates named Jim had a dispute with a group of gangsters. Seeing that Jim was about to be beaten, he

He walked up and pulled the gangsters away, and Jim ran away, but he was beaten so badly that he was permanently disfigured. His nose was deformed, his forehead bones were sunken, and several ribs were broken, and he almost died.

In a few years' time in Silicon Valley, Sanders will become a prominent figure and be dubbed the "Clown Prince."

But not now.

He now works for Motorola, but he has always been dissatisfied with his job.

At this time, Bruce extended an olive branch to him.

At this time, Sanders' talent had just emerged, but Motorola had not yet paid attention to it.

"I want to know what you think of the electronics industry? I heard that you have always had unique insights in this area."

Sanders is a very strong person, and he encountered the development of the electronics industry very early.

"I think the development of personal computers shows that computers are moving toward civilianization and industrialization, and are no longer an industry owned by companies such as IBM. Supercomputers may only appear in certain research institutions in the future. For general enterprises,

, these will become unnecessary. I think our company should make personal computers truly oriented to 'individuals'. We should make them dependent on our products. For now, profitability should come second.

position, and first of all, what we need is to expand the industry and occupy the market."

The other party did not look down upon the other party because Catherine was a little girl, but expressed his opinions eloquently.

Catherine smiled.

"Mr. Sanders. Now I want to congratulate you. From today on, you will be the president of Intel."

Sanders was also shocked. Before this, his position should have been general manager, but now, he suddenly became the president of Intel...

Bruce's current experience is not enough. Catherine thinks that someone should share his pressure. And Sanders is a very strong person. At this time, if he is not allowed to come over, who else will he turn to?

Catherine took out a contract.

She hired Sanders for 2.5% of Intel's shares and a sky-high price of $500,000 (increasing by $100,000 to $1 million each year).

Because of these remarks, Catherine also decided to develop a second generation Microsoft computer.

This time, Catherine made a decision: open hardware standards.

In other words, it allows third parties to set up plug-ins for their computers!

Just like future motherboards, CPUs, and graphics cards will be produced by countless manufacturers.

Catherine decided to open up this standard.

However, every time a manufacturer sells a product, he will receive a commission. After all, he owns the patent for the product, and the standards are his own.

However, Catherine was not sure what would happen to her idea.

However, IBM has already noticed the personal computer market at this time, and some other companies seem to be ready to develop personal computers. Catherine does not want to "die on the beach", so if she can open her own standards, it will be very important for her own

Market share is also helpful.

The Microsoft Type II computer was the bomb dropped by Catherine.

Catherine opened up the standards for memory, CPU, and graphics cards. At the same time, she also reserved several sockets to allow other companies to configure plug-ins such as sound cards for their products.

Catherine's current computer uses 8kb of memory. Originally, this memory was integrated on the motherboard, but now, Catherine decided to make it independent. At the same time, the original display output device was also replaced.

Originally, Catherine used monochrome display cards and color display cards. Although the so-called color only has 16 colors, it is already a high cost. This is why Catherine uses only monochrome for the working version of Microsoft computers.

The reason is shown.

However, Catherine has not opened up the standards for motherboards. Each piece of hardware must contain an agreement from Catherine before she can replace the hardware for her computer.

If anyone wants to develop a motherboard and their own standards separately...sorry, this is a court summons.

However, the electronics industry is still in its infancy, and it will take some time for it to truly blossom and bear fruit.

Now, Catherine had tens of thousands of dollars, and she immediately invested it in Intel. Fairchild is the big brother in the semiconductor industry, but even now when it is extremely powerful, its internal contradictions have begun to emerge.

Now, Catherine is waiting for the opportunity to recruit all the best semiconductor engineers of this era. Even if she cannot recruit them all, Catherine hopes that she can recruit most of them.

Catherine's own vision for the Microsoft II computer was written into a plan and then handed over to the technology department.

In order to maintain confidentiality, she also asked the technical department to sign a contract to ensure that secrets would not be leaked during the research period.

Catherine believes that in two years at most, new computers will appear.

The electronics industry is in a dormant stage, but the film and television industry is taking off, and Catherine's gametv is occupying the market faster and faster.

The popularity of television has increased, leading to the prosperity of the television industry.

As a result, Catherine's TV station was also established.

angelbeats, angel beats.

Referred to as "ab TV station", or "angel TV station".

If there are no accidents, Catherine's TV station will be launched on July 1, 1964. And the TV series version of "Fallout" will be Catherine's main program...
