The Strongest Life Reborn
Chapter 1562: Interlocking, complementary
Bill Gates' vision was not as short-sighted.
What he saw was not such a best-selling Microsoft system.
He is looking forward to the overall prosperity. Only in this way can he win a greater victory.
So when IN84 was selling big and selling, Bill Gates urgently held a board meeting to promote a cooperation treaty.
This cooperation is aimed at Kirin Computer Corporation.
Yin Jun is the owner of Kirin Computer, but because he automatically gave half of the voting power to Bill Gates and Paul Allen when buying shares, his voting power was actually only 25%, Bill Gates exceeded 40%.
It stands to reason that the two people's shares have exceeded an absolute majority of two-thirds, and how to promote the company's articles of association and treaties is normal, and there is no need to discuss the meeting at all.
But Bill Gates is not so arbitrary, he is very good at communicating with the board of directors and the technical and operational departments, and has never been arbitrary.
Especially this time, when Microsoft's IN84 sales momentum was so good, when it was unanimously praised, Bill Gates actually requested a bill to sell IN84 to Kirin Computer Company at a tiered price.
Kirin Computer guarantees that every computer sold will have Microsoft's IN84 system pre-installed.
Each year, less than 200,000 units are sold at a price of $ 600.
Sell 200,000-500,000, the price is 400 dollars.
After selling 1 million units, the price will suddenly drop to $ 200! !
Good guy!
Although the recording of the software CD is not valuable, millions of tens of millions of sheets are counted, and even less than 0.5 US dollars, but the knowledge cost contained therein, as well as the follow-up R & D maintenance fund, must be out of it.
So Microsoft has a good reason to sell high prices.
Especially when they are leading the market and are far ahead.
If a set of US $ 200 is sold to a Kirin computer, then the Kirin computer is making a big profit!
A machine equipped with a Microsoft Windows system, at least, is more than 500 dollars in profits.
They sold 1 million units, which is a net profit of 500 million US dollars!
The most important thing is that this profit is still freely given to them by Microsoft. You said such a thing should be put on Microsoft's shareholders and company personnel. Do you want it?
At the beginning everyone was firmly opposed.
Even if Yin Jun is your biggest shareholder, you can't be so thin!
Therefore, Bill Gates can only use the meeting to discuss and make clear the stakes before making this big sale decision.
The basis of the decision is that this price reduction only involves the IN84 system. If Microsoft develops a new generation of software, the agreement will not continue and the price reduction will not exist.
Then it is very important that the price reduction is linked to the sales performance of Kirin Computer.
The more computers you sell, the more people will use computers equipped with Microsoft systems, and the greater the influence of Microsoft, which will greatly affect the choices of this group of people when they next buy a computer.
Generally speaking, as long as Microsoft keeps making progress, these users will eventually become firm supporters of Microsoft.
Making a profit for the Kirin computer is to help Microsoft open the market, let more people join the use of new smart computers, and let them join the ranks of using the Microsoft Windows system.
The most important foundation of these two points is the foundation that finally Bill Gates' plan was approved by everyone.
Microsoft's large-scale preferential operating system is of course conducive to the sale of Kirin computers.
Today's computer is far from the masses of the future, it is still a high-tech product.
The IBM computer with the best performance is very expensive. The low configuration is about 3000 US dollars, and the high configuration is 3500 US dollars or even 4000 US dollars.
Coupled with the sale of Microsoft's operating system, the cheapest is about 3800, and the expensive one has to pour 5000 dollars.
If the Kirin computer can lower the selling price by three hundred to five hundred, it will save a lot of expenses for the American people.
But the problem is another.
No matter how good the sales of Kirin computers are, it also depends on IBM to have today.
IBM's production line is limited, and they are not only a distributor of Kirin Computer, so now although the sales network of Kirin Computer has expanded greatly, relatively speaking, the sales capacity of the network has never been saturated.
There is no way, only so many computers can be grabbed each month and only so many can be sold.
IBM also has an exclusive sales agreement.
If you go to sell computers from other companies, you are not allowed to buy from IBM!
This has blocked many dealers and made Kirin computer a dilemma.
Of course, the dilemma is felt, but those low-level employees and high-level people have already begun to prepare to create their own computer brands and launch their own assembled computers.
In the secret laboratory, various assembly and performance debugging have long been run-in and mature.
Hundreds of engineering machines put together have already been subjected to very rigorous testing, from 70% of the initial IBM performance to 80%.
After signing a contract with Microsoft, such a large profit has made the top executives of Kirin Computer determined to formally start the computer assembly plan.
A list of various parts was also sent to various manufacturers immediately.
The first batch of orders involved 1 million computers.
It is not that Kirin computers are too arrogant, but that they have been in the market for half a year. As the pioneers of selling computers, they already have a great advantage.
Moreover, this booming market is too huge. Boss Yin Jun predicts that the number of computers in the world will exceed 1 billion. Even if there are not so many, based on the total capacity of 100 million, these 1 million computers are nothing. ?
In the United States, the world's most developed country with a population of 300 million people, if Kirin computers can't even sell 1 million computers, what ambitious ambitions are there?
...
As everyone knows, this kind of thinking of the top executives of Kirin Computer is exactly what Bill Gates and Microsoft expect to see.
They paid so much to see the computer market expand step by step and become popular all over the world!
However, Bill Gates is still not old enough and not too far-sighted.
In his opinion, as long as there are enough high-quality computer hardware configurations and Microsoft's software support, there will be many interesting programs.
Whether it is work or entertainment, if there are continuous excellent programs, it will attract more and more people to use the computer.
This is also the most important factor in the strategic partnership between Microsoft and Kirin Computer.
With Bill Gates' character, this authorized price can really be regarded as the price of cabbage. If the sales volume of IN84 bursts and he can recover his losses elsewhere, he cannot convince him.
Of course he thought well.
But it is not enough.
Because the development trajectory of computers and mobile phones is the same.
What made the computer advance by leaps and bounds and achieved a qualitative leap was when the computer was connected to the Internet.
It's like a mobile phone becoming a smart phone, and after the realization of the mobile phone connection world, the development type and speed of that dumbfounding are average.
In today's 1984, of course, the computer can already connect to the Internet, but the speed of the network is slow, and it has to be dialed to access the Internet, which is very inconvenient.
If it is not very necessary, 80% of today's computers are in stand-alone operation.
As a result, the functions of the computer are wasted.
Therefore, while the number of computers continues to increase, Yin Jun also has to speed up the construction of network speed.
The multi-protocol routers, switches, optical fiber transmission, network transmission, etc. of the Kirin network have all established a framework.
Multi-protocol routers have even entered a state of practical use.
Although there is no global networking, several universities, middle schools, and several companies in a city have started to work together to connect through this multi-protocol router.
Involving all the networking of thousands of computers is a very delicate and complex project, which is also a test for the laboratory.
However, the Possacks, who have the most understanding of multi-protocol routers, presided over the test, the problem is not very big.
If there are no surprises, the second phase of the test can begin in the first half of this year.
Boston, the city where Stanford University is located, will use this multi-protocol router.
As long as the network of a city can be connected, then in the future New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc., you can follow the same way to connect the network.
The connection of the network, letting users all over the world in a network is only one aspect of success.
Another element of success is network speed.
Simply put, it is the network transmission speed.
At least for now, network transmission speed is the most important.
As for the later server carrying capacity, that is all in the future.
Without the high-capacity and high-demand online games such as Warcraft, you don't have to worry so much about the carrying capacity.
If you want people to use computers more than work, then let them soar in the online world.
There was a word in the 1990s that vividly expressed this meaning of surfing the Internet-surfing!
Surfing the Internet is like a surfer, you can stand at the cutting edge of the trend, and the excitement of surfing is interesting.
These all need to guarantee the speed of the network.
There is no Internet speed, just relying on the current dial-up Internet access, it takes a minute or two to open a webpage, and the pictures often cannot be opened ... Such a network, with little patience, is easy to give up.
Yin Jun worked **** optical fiber signal transmission ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Let the optical fiber line carry these transmissions faster and higher, so as to increase the speed of network access and outflow, and finally achieve a good Online experience.
With Yin Jun's right direction guidance, the experts in charge of this area are also constantly studying optical fiber transmission technology, discussing how to improve the carrier capacity and how to maximize the performance of the computer, so as not to waste network signals.
But this will not be done overnight.
If you want to increase the transmission speed of the optical fiber and make the Internet smooth, it will be impossible without a year or two.
This is based on Yin Jun purchasing a large number of patents and convening a large number of relevant industry experts.
If they were to do their own work, it would only be like the Cisco of the previous life. It would only start to work in the mid-nineties, and it would greatly increase the network speed.
For Yin Jun, the waiting time of ten years is really too long, he can't tolerate waiting so long.
Even if it can't be done in a pinch, then from now on, we should continue to let people see progress, which is the correct way to move forward!
Once the speed of the network increases, the influx of people using computers will increase.
Once this market expands, Microsoft's Windows system will be used by more people.
Once more people are used, various talents will emerge, which greatly enriches and enriches various applications.
In this way, the prosperity of the Internet will come.
The improvement of film special effects technology planned by Yin Jun is only one of the achievements.
The far-reaching influence is still behind!
