It has to be said that Charles downy is a reliable person. He is very interested in the exclusive agent of Huanyu calculator. Without dragging mud and water, he sent a check for 100000 US dollars and a letter of credit for 250000 US dollars.
"Look, our money is enough." Gao Xian smiled at Ma Yongda: "call Intel and inform Robert Noyce to come and sign a contract with a lawyer. We'll cover the fare."
Gao Xian didn't do this just to put on airs, because a batch of goods from Xiangjiang cotton textile industry association happened to arrive in Los Angeles. As a director, he should do everything himself.
Robert Noyce arrived as promised and found Gao Xian in the spacious warehouse area.
Seeing that the contract was finally signed, both sides were very happy.
Gao Xian gave Robert Noyce $80000, of which 60000 was the full ownership of the future intel-4004; The other 20000 is the advance cost of Intel's research and development of display terminals with this general chip.
To be honest, in view of the fact that Intel's graphics card is really bad, Gao Xian doesn't think that Intel can change its short board gene in graphics and image display, but the victory is that the labor force is relatively cheap. Let's give it a try.
After Robert Noyce was sent away, Gao Xian's business on the west coast of the United States came to an end, so he and Ma Yongda got on a plane and rushed to Boston in the northeast of the United States.
Last year, Intel's annual revenue was only $500000, and Gaoxian naturally cheered its CEO, Robert Noyce; But Ken Olsen, the chief executive of the data equipment company, can't do it. Gao Xian has to rush to meet him in person.
After all, at this stage, although the data equipment company is still a long way from the throne of Minicomputer hegemony, its annual sales have been at the level of tens of millions of dollars.
Since he was coming to Boston, Gao Xian added a trip to visit Wang an computer company, which is also headquartered in Boston, to investigate the current situation of another star product after the calculator - word processor.
The publicity work of the American industry is in place, which makes many Chinese people worship the successful entrepreneurs such as jobs and gates. In fact, in the early history of computer development, there are also successful Chinese entrepreneurs, such as Wang An.
Compared with his old age and weak heart in the 1980s, Wang An is now in his prime of life and ambitious stage of anger against the blue giant.
It is not difficult to imagine that Wang An's entrepreneurial journey in the United States is very difficult, and his grudges with IBM were also forged during this period.
In the computer with von Neumann structure, memory is a very important component.
In the early mainframe, there was only one solution for paper tape.
The working efficiency of paper tape can also know how to be low, so the solution of magnetic core memory came into being.
Wang An has a patent on magnetic core memory, which is favored by mainframe overlord IBM, but the transaction process between the two sides is very unhappy. Giant blue is only willing to give us $500000.
In the field of intellectual property, it is impossible to distinguish between nail and rivet. Many technologies are developed by everyone at the same time. Who can become one of them? The former is known as "the inventor of the first integrated circuit" and the latter as "the first person who put forward the integrated circuit theory suitable for industrial production".
Finally, the year before last, the federal court of the United States legally recognized the integrated circuit as a "simultaneous invention", which made the controversy of the inventors of integrated circuits come to a conclusion.
The research and development of magnetic core memory must also have such controversial space.
IBM fell in love with Wang An's magnetic core memory patent, but didn't want to pay more, so it said that we are also studying such technology. If you don't sell it now, wait for us to file a patent dispute after our research is successful.
Wang An's small shoulder can't bear the giant blue. He can only swallow his anger and take half a million dollars to start his own business.
In the huge IBM Empire, this kind of trivial matter has long become a natural means of business competition without knowing how many things happen every month. It has passed, but Wang an must have left a knot in his heart and secretly hold a breath.
You know, in the 1960s, when IBM launched the system 360 mainframe, it was the time when giant blue reached its peak.
Its market value reached $192.3 billion in 1967, while the GDP of the United States was only $830 billion that year.
If you change to the evaluation criteria of the Internet age, only the stock market stars such as apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft will be crushed.
It is no exaggeration to say that giant blue has no rival in the computer industry, and then the media described the pattern of the computer industry as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
Who is "Snow White" and who is "the Seven Dwarfs" is self-evident and clear at a glance.
Therefore, Wang an must have no choice but to block the whole IBM in a small place.
So a few years ago, Wang an saw the business opportunity of calculators. With his excellent mathematical skills, he developed a "rosette" calculator with a price of $6500, which immediately became the darling of the market. Even major American newspapers such as the New York Times and the Peanut Stew Post reported this grand occasion.
Wang An's "rosette" calculator, unlike the high string universal calculator, was mainly aimed at the mass market, but robbed some of the market demand that could only be calculated on the mainframe at that time, thus blocking the blue giant.
With this good market, Wang'an computer company made a lot of money and was listed, with assets close to $80 million.
The calculator market is so hot that it naturally attracts strong players such as HP and Texas Instruments.
Wang'an computer company withdrew from the calculator market and switched to word processor products.
The so-called word processor can be understood as realizing the function of word processing software through hardware.
The reason why Gao Xian calls the word processor the star product after the calculator is naturally aimed at its market potential.
Imagine that white-collar workers in the office can work happily without familiar word processing software such as word and WPS?
At this stage, the mainstream solution in this field is IBM's electric typewriter.
The winner of the word processor is the editing ability to modify manuscripts. As long as it is successfully launched, it will certainly step on IBM's electric typewriter and count the money.
After getting off the plane in Boston, Gao Xian and Ma Yongda rented a car locally, and then went straight to Wang'an computer company.
