Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Chapter 38 Black Cloud Office Software goes public

Bao Zixuan takes classes seriously every day at MIT. With past life experience and paper bonuses, his popularity is getting higher and higher. Many girls even have the idea of ​​dating him. But he never has time, except for classes.

In addition, he devoted all his time to writing Heiyun office software. With his unremitting efforts, Heiyun version of word and excel can finally enter the market.

When Bao Zixuan succeeded in the research and development, he arranged for Larry Brown to apply for a patent at the same time. If Microsoft wanted to use it in the future, it would be embarrassing. Bao Zixuan priced both software at US$50. Customers ordered two bundled in

It was $80 together. After Bao Zixuan personally programmed it and arranged for the company's software department to continuously test and optimize it, word and excel can reach the level of the market in 90 years, and there is no problem at all for commercial use.

Due to the success of the last dealer conference, Heiyun North America branch is now well-known, so it has recruited many computer elites to join, including employees who have worked part-time at Apple and Microsoft. Bao Zixuan called

Hashimoto Hiroshi took the following software engineers to Apple and Microsoft respectively.

Hashimoto Hiroshi and others were just trying to start a war. Their purpose was to get these two companies interested in software. The real purpose was that Bao Zixuan wanted the original shares of these two companies.

Hashimoto Hiroshi first came to Apple in California, and was introduced to Steve Jobs's office by his subordinates. At this time, Apple had just launched its second-generation computer less than half a year ago, but he also said that he would like to get Apple's original computer later.

It is basically impossible to buy shares. Hiroshi Hashimoto can’t figure out why the boss values ​​this company so much. There is nothing here!

Under the operation of engineers, after Jobs saw the good performance of Black Cloud Office software on Apple's second-generation computers, he thought that these two software must be integrated into Apple computers, so that there would be a large number of corporate orders.

.Apple computers are not just toys as people say.

Jobs: "Heiyun's software performance is pretty good, but I don't know how much it will cost."

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "The price is 50 US dollars each, and the two packages are priced at 80 US dollars."

Jobs: "The price is too expensive. I don't know how much it will cost Apple to install these two softwares when installing it."

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "The authorization given to me by our president is US$65."

Jobs: "That's still too expensive, and our profits will be too low."

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "There is another solution, that is, our Black Cloud Company invests in Apple. We have the software, funds and huge Asian market you need. If Mr. Jobs agrees, our president will come to California to discuss with Apple

Start negotiations, or you can go to Black Cloud Company in Boston, these are not problems."

Jobs: "I don't know how much your company values ​​Apple. I have to convince my partners."

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "$10 million."

Jobs: "Okay, I understand. I will contact you after communicating with my partners. I wonder if these two pieces of software can be left for us to test their performance in detail."

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Of course, this life is prepared for Apple."

After Hashimoto Hiroshi completed the first round of negotiations with Apple and was preparing to go to Microsoft in Seattle, Black Cloud Software had quietly been launched in the computer market, but the scale was not very large now, and the popularity of computers in this era was not yet high.

It wasn't that widespread, so it didn't cause much of a stir.

But within MIT, Bao Zixuan’s plan was to gain recognition from the college’s computer science major. Bao Zixuan, who was already a celebrity in the college, quickly brought the Black Cloud Office software to the computer science department through Joseph Kane for system testing.

As a result, Professor Harry Rowland of the Department of Computer Science asked Joseph to take Bao Zixuan directly to his laboratory.

Professor Harry Rowland is 56 years old. He participated in the development of the world's first computer. Although he was only a student at that time, he has a lofty status in the entire computer industry.

Bao Zixuan came to the computer laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Looking at this great figure who could be ranked in the top 20 in computer history, he felt a little dazed for a while.

Harry Rowland: "Hello, young man, I have heard about your deeds. You are already at the forefront of this era in modern theoretical mechanical physics. Originally, I thought you only had profound knowledge in mechanics, but I didn't expect that you would be at the forefront of this era."

You have such a solid foundation in computer software. The two business software you wrote are very good at solving the financial calculation and storage of modern companies. It is no exaggeration to say that your two software can save at least 100 million tons a year on the earth.

Paper. You plant 700 million trees for the earth every year and save 10 billion cubic meters of water. This is a thing that benefits all mankind. I am happy that such great software was born at MIT

At the same time, what makes me sad is that the students who write such excellent software are studying mechanical manufacturing instead of majoring in computer science. It seems that the computer major of the college needs to recruit more outstanding young people!"

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that a small piece of software could be so highly praised by Professor Harry Rowland. If it rises to the level of benefiting mankind, this is the thinking of MIT! Even if you are modest, you should say modestly: "You are so grateful.

I didn’t think about it that much.”

Harry Rowland: "I would like to recommend your software to the Association for Computing Machinery for certification, but I have a question. As far as I know, you have never systematically studied financial knowledge. How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing financial office software?

!I have to know the reasons why you created this great software."

Bao Zixuan: "Because of my mother, Professor Luo Lan, I grew up in a single-parent family in Xiangjiang. My father passed away when I was not born. Only my mother raised me since I was a child, with no other relatives.

, my mother is a professional accountant. He could have gone to work in a big company, but in order to take better care of me, he chose to take over the accounting and taxation issues of more than a dozen small companies at home. At that time, small companies in Xiangjiang

The company is not very standardized. They often send the account books over at night. The accounts must be checked and handed over to them tomorrow. For this reason, my mother often does the accounting very late at night, sometimes even all night long. When I first saw

When computers can do calculations, my dream is to use computers to write programs so that more people like my mother no longer have to work so late."

Joseph Kane did not expect that this usually optimistic boy would have such a miserable childhood, and that he was not knocked down by difficulties, but did his best through his own efforts.

Americans like heroes, especially stories about mothers who are willing to give up many opportunities for their sons and cultivate their sons to become talents.

Harry Rowland: "I understand why you can write such excellent software. You have a persistence in doing things, and you also have a great mother. Can I ask what your mother is doing now!"

Bao Zixuan: "She used my father's insurance compensation and the money she earned over the years to open a pastry shop. Now I don't want him to work too hard because I also opened my own company in Xiangjiang. The company is currently very profitable.

, but she is not a person who can take time off, and basically goes to the store every day."

Harry Rowland: "Thinking of the black cloud icon on the software, I didn't expect that the game my grandson likes to play was actually developed by you." Hahahaha

Bao Zixuan: "It is true that I founded Heiyun Game Company, but I didn't expect that your grandson would actually like it."

Harry Rowland: "Bao, I will recommend your software to the Computing Machinery Association, and I also hope that you will come to study for my doctorate in computer science. Computers cannot go far in the long run just by relying on software."

Bao Zixuan: "I will seriously consider it, Professor."

After the two chatted for a while, Bao Zixuan left Harry Rowland's laboratory.
