Wang An has been a successful entrepreneur and has taken root in Boston. He bought an 85 acre land here, and Wang'an computer company built on it seems to have become a small kingdom.
Gao Xian had already contacted Wang an computer company in Los Angeles before leaving for Boston.
Therefore, after receiving the news that Gao Xian came to the door, Wang an warmly went out to meet him and quoted the Analects of Confucius as saying, "it's a pleasure to have friends from afar."
For Wang An, who is already a year of destiny, Gao Xian naturally wants to show corresponding respect. After handing over his business card, Gao Xian said sincerely: "this time I came to the United States for business, I deeply felt the precious friendship of Chinese compatriots here. Dr. Wang An is my long-standing predecessor."
Compared with the now unknown Gaoyi company, the name of director of Xiangjiang cotton textile industry association and director of the capital market research center of the Far East Exchange is quite frightening.
Wang an repeatedly complimented, "Mr. Gao is really young and promising!"
When they were all seated, Gao Xian said frankly, "I came to Boston to investigate the data equipment company and purchase a batch of computers. I've heard a lot about Dr. Wang An's outstanding achievements in the field of computer science, so I also want to come to Wang an computer company to see if I can provide computer technology solutions that meet my business needs."
Wang an asked with great interest, "I don't know what business needs Mr. Gao has?"
Gao Xian doesn't care. He reveals that he has written a few traditional characters in the shorthand book for a short time. Then he shows it to Wang An and explains: "my Chinese calligraphy is very poor, so I hate handling copywriting, but it can't be avoided. I don't know if there is a system for handling Chinese characters in Wang an computer company?"
Wang an smiled and shook his head slightly. "The computer processing of Chinese characters is still a world problem. In addition, the market value can not be displayed. I'm afraid Mr. Gao will be disappointed."
Gao Xian was naturally disappointed. "Unexpectedly, the top computer scientists in the Chinese can't solve the problem of Chinese characters."
"In a few years, it should be OK." Wang An, who was stimulated by a sentence, pondered: "Wang an computer company is currently developing a word processor with strong editing and retrieval functions, and can also provide a fixed manuscript format, but it can only process English for the time being."
"Mr. Gao must also know that the company needs to save before it can talk about development."
"After our English word processor has achieved success in the market, I am very confident that I can handle Chinese next."
"At that time, Mr. Gao's business needs will be met."
"I see." Gao Xian nodded suddenly and then said tentatively, "so, has the English word processor of Wang'an computer company been developed? Can I see one or two?"
"Dr. Wang an should know that the official language of Xiangjiang is English. If the word processor of Wang an computer company is easy to use, there must be a market there."
Wang an hesitated a little, then nodded and said, "since Mr. Gao is interested, please follow me."
After seeing the achievements of Wang An's precious word processor R & D project, Gao Xian was greatly disappointed.
Originally, the so-called editing function is limited to the editing of one line of text.
More importantly, there is no "WYSIWYG" friendly effect of human-computer interaction.
In short, the most basic functions in word processing software, WPS, etc. don't think about adjusting font size, highlighting in italics and underlining.
Now the main mission of such products is to simply edit the manuscript, and then output it in large quantities through the printer according to the standard format.
Seeing that Gao Xian did not show the expected admiration, Wang An was also disappointed. Did he throw his eyes to the blind?
Therefore, Wang an hurriedly explained: "this is the first generation word processor 1200 we have developed. The functions of subsequent models will certainly be more perfect and powerful."
"I believe that in front of the 1200 word processor of Wang'an computer company, IBM's electric typewriter will only end in defeat," Gao Xian said
This won Wang An's heart. He turned around and said, "since Mr. Gao is so interested in computer technology, why don't we develop the Xiangjiang market of word processors together?"
"Of course, I can't wait." Gao Xian readily agreed and asked, "does Wang an computer company still need financial and technical help in the research and development of word processors? I'm willing to provide it."
Wang an waved his hand again and again and said, "thank you for your kindness. Our own resources are enough."
For this answer, Gao Xian is not surprised. After all, Wang an did not suffer less in the process of entrepreneurship, and then instinctively guarded his core capital.
But Gao Xian still deeply feels regret. He has a feasible theory of "from zero to one", but there is no corresponding implementation team.
The details in this regard can only be accumulated step by step, and it's useless to worry.
Besides, just like the calculator market, the word processor market cannot be exclusive to Wang'an computer company.
The blue giant is bound to fight back. Xerox, another giant in the field of commercial office products, will certainly get involved.
At that time, don't believe Wang an didn't ask for his own place.
It's not a high string style to talk in depth.
The topic of product research and development of Wang'an computer company was put down. Gao Xian and Wang'an turned to talk about the operational possibility of developing Xiangjiang and even the Far East market.
Overall, Wang An's trip to the computer company yielded good results.
After leaving Wang An, who had a good time talking with him, Ma Yongda asked curiously, "brother Xian, your enthusiasm for the computer industry is not generally high."
"There are many opportunities in new fields," Gao Xian replied, but he still kept a secret in his heart.
That is, the real residence of "small equipment" should be the infinite Internet, rather than living in those few small machines.
Besides, the life of hardware is limited. When high string is used, it is more cherished than its own eyes.
Therefore, Gaoxian has infinite power to touch the computer industry.
……
The schedule of going to the data equipment company is very simple. Gao Xian meets Ken Olsen, CEO, to exchange the application achievements of PDP-11 in Xiangjiang securities industry; Then, the data equipment company gives priority to delivering two formally developed PDP-11 to Gao Xian.
Gao Xian can more or less guess Ken Olsen's small abacus, so he directly pointed out: "I heard that the American securities industry will soon have another Nasdaq Stock Exchange. With the successful application example of Xiangjiang, the data equipment company will have quite good marketing capital at that time."
"Unexpectedly, Gao is so well-informed." Ken Olsen was knocked respectfully. "So, after you asked for a 20% discount, I agreed without hesitation."
Gao Xian asked impolitely, "I should buy at least one PDP-11 this year. This discount should continue."
Ken Olsen shrugged helplessly, "Gao, you are so greedy!"
……
Ma Yongda returned to Canada directly from Boston. Gao Xian first returned to Los Angeles and handled some affairs of Xiangjiang cotton and textile industry association before embarking on the way back to Xiangjiang.
Anyway, the plane had to take more than ten boring hours, so Gao Xian went to sleep with his head covered after boarding the plane. He is really a little tired from his hard work these days.
In a daze, Gao Xian felt that someone had covered the fallen blanket for himself again, so he slowly opened his eyes, and the result was creepy - how did I see the living Bruce Lee?
Then Gao Xian calmed down. Now he sees the living Bruce Lee. It's normal!
……
The world cup has begun. I wish you all a happy time once every four years!!
