At this stage, the development of the personal computer industry is in the early stage of commercialization, which naturally does not involve the issue of unified standards. However, with the increasing commercial value of the personal computer industry, it is an inevitable trend to appear industry giants, and then the personal computer standards will be unified into a "mainstream" system.
In Gao Xian's view, it is impossible to kill all the small workshops that imitate their own personal computers. Instead of unnecessarily cutting off people's financial resources, it is better to pull them over and let them manufacture peripheral accessories such as memory expansion cards to help their own personal computers expand the camp.
As for some of the benefits from this, it doesn't matter. After all, the cake of personal computer has not been made big enough. At present, the importance of annual profit contribution to Gao's family is not as important as a Hollywood blockbuster jaws in the summer. It is not even as important as calculators and current video game consoles a few years ago.
You know, compared with the blooming of small workshops in the personal computer industry, many formal companies are engaged in video game consoles, especially home video game consoles, and the market is very prosperous.
In fact, Gao Xian still has a big secret in his heart, that is, after entering the high-tech field through personal computers, the priority of making money is not to place a bigger "home" for his small clothes!
How to place a bigger "home" for small clothes? The most basic point is to keep the operating environment, including hardware and software, as consistent as possible.
Since the personal computer has just entered the commercialization stage, there is certainly no mature profit model for the software products running on this platform.
For example, the consumption behavior of buying a set of office software developed by an independent software supplier is common after a few years, but there is no room for it now.
Because the business model of large-scale computers has been followed for a long time, the software required by users is provided by computer manufacturers with calculator hardware system.
Following this business habit, Gao Xian collects programs developed by a third party for his personal computer platform. As long as the software is excellent enough, it will be adopted into the randomly distributed application package and paid to the developers accordingly, or calculated according to the years or copies.
When Gao Xian got the relevant report on soliciting third-party development programs sent by Zhou Wenyao, he immediately browsed it and found that among the program solicitation results, word processing software was the most popular.
This phenomenon is also normal, because at this stage, word processing software is a demand application with very basic functions. Users who understand computer technology can't edit code without word processing software; Users who do not understand computer technology can not edit and read documents without word processing software.
Since there are so many candidates for word processing software, even if it is popular, it is not scarce. Gao Xian naturally doesn't need too much attention. His eyes continued to look back and finally found the goal.
Gao Xian ordered his subordinates to solicit third-party development programs for their personal computers. Of course, he had expected to attract someone. As he saw at this time, it is a compiler of basic programming language developed by Bill Gates and Paul Allen.
To be fair, today's personal computers need system software such as basic language compiler very much.
Gaoxian personal computer has been equipped with C language and assembly language compiler, which can well meet the system application development, but it is too difficult to get started and is not suitable for a wider range of users.
Take a specific example. A stock investor who does not understand computer technology needs to customize a complex formula to calculate data, or draw some schematic diagrams on the display. It is impossible for him to spend a lot of time learning C language and assembly language. In that case, it would be too frivolous, and the syntax is simple and easy to understand, which is closer to the basic programming language of public thinking, Is a pretty good solution.
However, any technology related to programming language compiler is particularly difficult because it is abstract and obscure.
Gao Xian came up with a C language and assembly language compiler based on Intel microprocessor and closest to the underlying hardware system through a small package with the help of open source projects in the knowledge base. He really doesn't want to spend extra energy and resources on compilers such as basic programming language.
What's more, Gao Xian can expect that this kind of hard work will be done better.
In fact, Bill Gates and Paul Allen came to the door with their own basic programming language compiler.
Gao Xian asked Zhou Wenyao, "how about the demonstration effect of these two people's basic language compilers?"
Zhou Wenyao replied, "they have mailed tapes to store the latest version of software. From the operation effect, although the idea of function design is very good, the execution speed is slow, and there are many bugs. For this, gates repeatedly promised on the phone that it will be improved at the fastest speed."
Gao Xian instructed, "well, you should inform gates and Allen and ask them to bring the latest basic language compiler to demonstrate immediately. I'll have a look at it myself. We'll be responsible for the expenses of round-trip air tickets, accommodation and so on."
"Right away?" Zhou Wenyao hesitated. "This gates, I'm very impressed. He's a student of Harvard University. Now it should be the time of intensive examinations. I'm afraid it's too late to catch up."
Gao Xian said thoughtfully, "just inform them. They know how to choose. Remember, mail the ticket together. In addition, I need more details about gates and Allen."
……
Gates, the "coolie" Gao Xian never forgets, is just like infatuated debugging the basic language compiler on Huanyu electronic personal computer. Even his roommate Ballmer didn't notice it.
"Bill, your letter," Ballmer said.
Gates glanced carelessly. When he saw the sender's address of the envelope, he was in a hurry. He picked it up and tore open the seal. He saw a notice and two tickets inside.
"David Gao, the big boss of Huanyu electronic personal computer, wants to see our software demonstration immediately." Gates's eyes brightened as he looked at the notice.
Ballmer reminded, "bill, don't forget the exam..."
Gates said, "I'll find Alan."
……
At this stage, Allen is in Boston, working as a programmer for the famous Honeywell company. For this job opportunity, he even dropped out of college after only two years.
Gates immediately found Allen and showed him the notice and ticket. "The other party is very sincere, but it is also very urgent. We can't miss this opportunity."
Allen looked at the two tickets carefully. "It's also very powerful! Even big companies like Honeywell don't often send tickets directly."
Gates asked excitedly, "so you agree with us to do this demonstration?"
"Of course." Alan nodded affirmatively. "It's really a rare opportunity to make a product demonstration directly to the big boss."
……
After decades in the "old script", with the help of the convenience of Internet information dissemination, there are mainly two topics around gates, one is naturally the world's richest man who has been elected for many years, and the other is the profound family background that has been greatly changed, that is, Gates's mother "jumped into" a director of IBM to help her son, Won the IBM-PC operating system purchase order.
But few people have noticed that gates and Allen are indeed geniuses.
A proof is that American high schools lead to universities, similar to the SAT of China's college entrance examination, with a full score of 1600, gates 1590 and Allen 1600.
Of course, gates really has a good family. His father is a famous lawyer in Seattle, Peanut Stew state; Mom is active in charitable organizations. It is through this platform that she met the chairman of IBM; After Gates was born, grandma set up a million dollar Trust Fund for him.
In this family difference, gates, who has a very poor SAT score, went to Harvard University, a famous private university on the east coast of the United States, while Allen, who has a full SAT score, chose the public Peanut Stew State University.
Fortunately, genius always has the confidence to smooth out some differences. For example, Allen dared to drop out of school and work in Boston, not far from Harvard University where gates studied.
When gates and Allen stood in front of themselves, after years of training, they could be called countless high strings. It was immediately judged that in the small group composed of these two people, Allen, two years older, was the subordinate think tank standing behind, and gates was the leader with decision-making power.
Two of the richest 100 people in the world in the "old script" are the two best coolies standing in front of the 30-year-old Gao Xian.
Without any greetings, Gao Xian directly said, "can we start the software demonstration now?"
Gates, who knew that the big man's time was precious, was already ready and replied with full assurance: "of course!"
Gates, who played a leading role in the small team, demonstrated and explained the functions of their basic language compiler, such as syntax error correction, mathematical operation, geometric drawing and so on.
After Gao Xian patiently watched gates demonstrate the product according to his plan, he put forward several requirements with his own ideas and asked gates to continue the demonstration. As a result, he was not surprised to be in a hurry.
"To sum up, what problems still exist in this basic language compiler that affect business?" Gao Xian asked gates to say with a faint smile in his eyes.
Gates replied unconvinced: "indeed, the high requirements just now have exposed the problems of lack of stability, lack of function library, slow running speed and so on, but this does not hinder the overall excellence of our basic language compiler. As long as time is added, it can be improved."
Gao Xian nodded, "well, I believe you have the ability to improve the product, but I have another question, that is, what kind of product form does a programmer sell to customers after writing a general program with your basic language compiler?"
Gates replied without hesitation: "if our basic language compiler becomes the standard system software of Huanyu electronic personal computer, programmers only need to send the source program files to customers to complete the product delivery."
"Source program?" Gao Xian smiled unabashedly. "Do you think that after the first user gets the source program, how many users will be willing to pay for it?"
The awakened Gates was speechless immediately.
Gao Xian waved his hand and said, "anyway, I'm more optimistic about your basic language compiler. As long as it can be improved within three months, I'll invest 50000 dollars in your company and let your basic language compiler run on every universal electronic personal computer."
Speaking of this, Gao Xian glanced at gates and Allen, "go and have a rest first. By the way, consider my opinion and give an answer as soon as possible before I leave the United States."
Gates and Allen, two "little children" in their early twenties, slowly sobered up after leaving the conference room in a daze.
"Paul, did you hear that our basic language compiler can run on every Huanyu electronic personal computer!" Gates said excitedly.
Allen hesitated: "however, the development time is too tight, and you have to go to school. Because of this demonstration, you have missed the exam time."
Hearing this, gates scratched his head in distress, "yes, time is too tight, but this opportunity is fleeting!"
"Why not..." Allen said tentatively in a tone of people from the past: "consider dropping out of Harvard University to make more development time? I also resigned from Honeywell."
Hearing that Allen, a think-tank, gave such a radical idea, Gates was not surprised and immediately considered it seriously.
It has to be said that the friendship between gates and Allen is indeed deep enough to trust.
However, Allen's idea, although not enough to make gates misunderstood, also made it difficult for him to choose.
To put it bluntly, no matter how good the conditions in Gates' family are, we can't regard Harvard University, a famous Ivy League school all over the world, as a place to come and go! Alan dropped out of Peanut Stew State University, which can compare with Harvard University! Allen's lost job at Honeywell is not necessarily as important as a degree from Harvard University!
The young man was just aggressive. Gates, who seemed to have made up his mind, suddenly stopped and said to Allen, "let's go and confirm something with David Gao."
……
Seeing gates and Allen back and forth in the blink of an eye, Gao Xian knew they had something to do, so he smiled and asked, "why, did you decide to answer me so soon?"
Gates looked straight at Gao Xian and asked seriously, "when did you say to invest $50000 in our company?"
"Do you have a regular software development company now?" Gao Xian said playfully, "tell me your name and I can sign a check right away."
Allen whispered in Gates' ear quickly, and then gates replied, "I'm still studying at Harvard University, but we're going to set up a company called 'micro soft'. As long as gaoken invests, I can drop out and concentrate on running the company and developing software."
Gao Xiancai didn't bother to care how regrettable it was for gates to drop out of Harvard University. He picked up the pen and signed a check for $50000.

Gao Xian asked gates to say with a faint smile in his eyes.Gates replied unconvinced: "indeed, the high requirements just now have exposed the problems of lack of stability, lack of function library, slow running speed and so on, but this does not hinder the overall excellence of our basic language compiler. As long as time is added, it can be improved."Gao Xian nodded, "well, I believe you have the ability to improve the product, but I have another question, that is, what kind of product form does a programmer sell to customers after writing a general program with your basic language compiler?"Gates replied without hesitation: "if our basic language compiler becomes the standard system software of Huanyu electronic personal computer, programmers only need to send the source program files to customers to complete the product delivery.""Source program?" Gao Xian smiled unabashedly. "Do you think that after the first user gets the source program, how many users will be willing to pay for it?"The awakened Gates was speechless immediately.Gao Xian waved his hand and said, "anyway, I'm more optimistic about your basic language compiler. As long as it can be improved within three months, I'll invest 50000 dollars in your company and let your basic language compiler run on every universal electronic personal computer."Speaking of this, Gao Xian glanced at gates and Allen, "go and have a rest first. By the way, consider my opinion and give an answer as soon as possible before I leave the United States."Gates and Allen, two "little children" in their early twenties, slowly sobered up after leaving the conference room in a daze."Paul, did you hear that our basic language compiler can run on every Huanyu electronic personal computer!" Gates said excitedly.Allen hesitated: "however, the development time is too tight, and you have to go to school. Because of this demonstration, you have missed the exam time."Hearing this, gates scratched his head in distress, "yes, time is too tight, but this opportunity is fleeting!""Why not..." Allen said tentatively in a tone of people from the past: "consider dropping out of Harvard University to make more development time? I also resigned from Honeywell."Hearing that Allen, a think-tank, gave such a radical idea, Gates was not surprised and immediately considered it seriously.It has to be said that the friendship between gates and Allen is indeed deep enough to trust.However, Allen's idea, although not enough to make gates misunderstood, also made it difficult for him to choose.To put it bluntly, no matter how good the conditions in Gates' family are, we can't regard Harvard University, a famous Ivy League school all over the world, as a place to come and go! Alan dropped out of Peanut Stew State University, which can compare with Harvard University! Allen's lost job at Honeywell is not necessarily as important as a degree from Harvard University!The young man was just aggressive. Gates, who seemed to have made up his mind, suddenly stopped and said to Allen, "let's go and confirm something with David Gao."Seeing gates and Allen back and forth in the blink of an eye, Gao Xian knew they had something to do, so he smiled and asked, "why, did you decide to answer me so soon?"Gates looked straight at Gao Xian and asked seriously, "when did you say to invest $50000 in our company?""Do you have a regular software development company now?" Gao Xian said playfully, "tell me your name and I can sign a check right away."Allen whispered in Gates' ear quickly, and then gates replied, "I'm still studying at Harvard University, but we're going to set up a company called 'micro soft'. As long as gaoken invests, I can drop out and concentrate on running the company and developing software."Gao Xiancai didn't bother to care how regrettable it was for gates to drop out of Harvard University. He picked up the pen and signed a check for $50000.
