Bill Gates and Paul Allen were arranged in the hotel. In the face of delicious and delicious treatment, they were careless to enjoy and had trouble sleeping and eating.
Gates, in particular, could not accept this entrepreneurial process at the cost of dropping out of Harvard University, and came to an abrupt end in a muddle headed way.
While waiting in the torment, the two boys also used their brains to figure out how to make Gao Xian, an investor, sincerely contribute to helping Microsoft in trouble.
Although Gao Xian spoke justly and disdained to take advantage of the fire, gates should have a practical expression based on his business experience during this period.
Allen, who was a little older, was more realistic and advised gates to take it easy. "From the perspective of sales, Microsoft is worth up to $1 million. We can't see it in Sir Gao's eyes. We'd better wait patiently."
Gates insisted unconvinced: "however, our basic language compiler is unique in the personal computer market. So many kinds of personal computers are inseparable from this software, and Microsoft's position is irreplaceable."
The two brothers were arguing with each other with their own characteristics. Zhou Wenyao appeared and led them to Gao Xian.
"I have found the best patent lawyer to fight the lawsuit between Microsoft and portk. You can go back and develop products and cooperate with the court to testify at that time." Gao Xian directly said the result gates and Allen wanted most, "As for the financial difficulties encountered by Microsoft, Huanyu computer company can lend you 100000 dollars first. After the lawsuit is understood, it's good to offset the software license fee."
Gates asked another question of concern, "how long will we fight this lawsuit?"
"How long?" Gao Xian smiled playfully. "It doesn't matter!"
"How can it be unimportant? It's important!" Gates was worried as soon as he heard it. "Because of this lawsuit, I couldn't negotiate with several companies."
Gao Xian patiently guided: "you might as well think from another angle. This lawsuit is not a publicity of Microsoft and its products."
"A publicity?" Gates was a little confused for a while.
Gao Xian nodded, "in terms of company scale, the lawsuit between Microsoft and portk is a battle with great strength difference; at the same time, it is also worth exploring why portk has an eye on Microsoft, and these are topics loved by the media."
"Well..." Gates scratched his head.
"Microsoft just took advantage of the time when its business could not be expanded to polish its products." Gao Xian said with a straight face: "what do you think are the shortcomings of Microsoft's basic language compiler?"
Gates replied without hesitation: "many of the powerful functions we think of have not been realized. In addition, the execution efficiency of the basic language compiler needs to be further improved, which requires careful code optimization."
"Many powerful functions?" Gao Xian mused, "including support for intermediate code?"
Gates was confused again, "what intermediate code?"
Gao Xian said slowly, "the use of Microsoft basic language compiler is not to input the source code, and then the Microsoft basic language compiler explains and executes."
"There are two obvious defects in this method. First, the execution efficiency is low; second, an excellent piece of code can be reused and can directly exchange the source code, but it can not protect the copyright of programmers, which eventually hinders the wider application of Microsoft basic language compiler."
"At present, the best solution is that Microsoft basic language compiler compiles the source code into intermediate code first, so as to ensure the crystallization of programmers' wisdom and not be infringed in the process of communication."
"At the same time, when the program needs to run, the Microsoft basic language compiler starts from the intermediate code and translates it into machine code."
"In this way, the efficiency improvement is much higher than that you only focus on optimizing the code of the basic language compiler!"
Gates and Allen looked at each other in surprise. Finally, the former spoke as a representative, "Sir Gao, the solution you mentioned is to fundamentally change the implementation mode of Microsoft basic language compiler, which involves many mathematical algorithms, code design and other problems. I'm afraid it's not easy to implement."
Gao Xian waved his hand: "I only know that this scheme is very excellent, and someone is already developing it. Don't blame me for not reminding you. At that time, Microsoft didn't die in a lawsuit with portk, but lost to peer competition. It really deserved to be eliminated!"
……
Gates and Allen, who were scolded with bruises and bruises, were still in doubt after they left.
Alan asked breathlessly, "bill, now our independent software development circle is not large. Guess who is developing the basic language compiler that Sir Gao said?"
Gates thought and said, "if you want to develop a language compiler, you must have the strength to develop system software, and kildale developed the operating system CPM, which just meets the conditions."
Ellen said worriedly, "kildale's hand won't really stretch out so long."
……
When they returned to the Microsoft company with less than ten employees, a programmer, who was also a fellow of gates and Allen, excitedly handed over a newspaper and said, "look, we're in the newspaper. Many people are reading it. Just at dinner, someone asked me if the Microsoft company above is us."
"So fast!" Gates was surprised to take over the newspaper and saw that there was a report on Microsoft and portk, which was very attractive. However, the theme was not the patent lawsuit between the two companies, but the booming personal computer industry, which had produced huge benefits that people could compete for by any means.
First of all, this report compares the strength of Microsoft and portk.
Microsoft, a small start-up company with annual sales of only hundreds of thousands of dollars, may be most worth mentioning that it belongs to a new industry - independent software development, and is one of the leaders in this field.
Portk, a large company that can afford to buy Altair computer for us $6 million, is mainly engaged in tape drives and floppy drives, which have sprung up in recent years, and has been very successful. A number of top manufacturers, including IBM, data equipment company and Siemens, are adopting its products.
In particular, several models of seven track and nine track half inch tape drives and phase coding formatter manufactured by portk company have been adopted by countless companies, which seems to have become an industry standard.
In fact, portk company has not only acquired Altair computer, but also incorporated several computer manufacturers into the computer industry through acquisition.
It was these two companies with such great differences in strength that they filed a lawsuit and went to court, which led to the financial crisis of the small Microsoft company because the products with patent disputes were frozen.
The programmer saw that gates and Allen had their heads together and looked seriously, so he said, "these media are really powerful and have a clear picture of our situation."
Gates and Allen looked at each other and thought that we had never contacted reporters. It must be Sir Gao's handwriting.
Not to mention, this report vividly outlines the huge contrast between the strengths and weaknesses of portck and Microsoft, which immediately reminds people of the word bullying, and then the heart of sympathy arises spontaneously.
Gates and Allen, who have been intrigued, continue to look down. See this report and begin to explain the reason for the lawsuit between portk and Microsoft - competing for the patent right of Microsoft's basic language compiler.
What is the Microsoft basic language compiler? This is a system software that is likely to be installed into all personal computers like the disk operating system, and portk company, which acquired Altair computer, believes that Microsoft has sold the Microsoft basic language compiler to Altair computer company in the process of trading with Altair computer company.
Seeing this, gates still couldn't restrain his anger and patted the table. Edward Roberts just bought out the use right of Microsoft basic language compiler on Altair computer platform for $200000. Unexpectedly, portk company was so shameless that it wanted to forcibly seize Microsoft basic language compiler.
This report did not stand in line in the lawsuit between portk and Microsoft, but took the opportunity to point out the value potential of Microsoft's basic language compiler and extended the infinite prospect of the whole PC industry.
Here, this report quotes a report on the development of the semiconductor industry recently published by the Howard Hughes research center.
It is pointed out that products, including semiconductor memories and microprocessors, are ushering in the breakthrough of new technical indicators such as process, capacity and speed. In the market demand driving all this forward, the position and speed of personal computers are obviously improving.
According to the analysis chart, the number of personal computers on the market has a beautiful trend, impacting the iconic number of one million units. When 16 bit microprocessors and 64KB dynamic random access memory can be provided in batch, the personal computers will undoubtedly transform from the playthings joked by mainframe and minicomputer manufacturers into tools that people can't live without.
In order to run Microsoft, gates dropped out of Harvard University because he was optimistic about the bright prospect of personal computer development. However, when he saw this report and pointed out in detail that the personal computer market had unlimited future, he still couldn't help feeling like a navigator discovering the new continent.
If millions of personal computers are running Microsoft basic language compiler and even other Microsoft products, what will be a spectacular scene?
At this time, a Microsoft employee holding several positions told gates loudly, "a reporter wants to interview you and said he has made an appointment in advance."
After a strange look flashed in Gates' eyes, he muttered, "this is to 'make up' the interview."
……
Gao Xian, who has returned to his home in Vancouver, did not forget to pay attention to the companies of portck and Microsoft, especially the hyped relevant media reports, which made him enjoy it. "This advertising effect is very worth looking forward to."
However, Gao Xian was surprised by Zhou Wenyao's report on the phone. "Portk company wants to reconcile? It shouldn't be. It hasn't just held a court."
"The lawyers of both sides are experts. After one hand, they can have a basic judgment on the direction of the lawsuit." Zhou Wenyao replied: "portk company should feel that the situation is bad. Unexpectedly, little Microsoft is an iron plate, so they want to stop the uneconomical expenses in the lawsuit."
"No, I still have high hopes for the publicity effect of this lawsuit." Gao Xian obviously indicated, "you should try to drag it out."
Zhou Wenyao hesitated: "not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if Microsoft really has an adverse result..."
Gao Xian said faintly, "Microsoft is not indispensable now."
If gates and Allen heard this sentence, they would be heartbroken, but Zhou Wenyao didn't respond and promised immediately.
……
The reason why Gao Xian did this is naturally to attract the attention of American society as much as possible and provide a favorable atmosphere for the valuation of Huanyu computer company.
Roy Smith, who is responsible for the specific work of valuing Huanyu computer company at Goldman Sachs, also mentioned this in his communication with Gao Xian. "Recently, the personal computer industry has attracted extensive attention from ordinary people, which is good news for Huanyu computer company."
"Goldman Sachs' research on the personal computer industry and Huanyu computer company has already had a preliminary result."
"As far as Huanyu computer company is concerned, it is indeed the leader in this field at present. The only competitor qualified for comparison is kangmaoda company. After its acquisition of mostechnology, just like Huanyu computer company to Intel and ZILOG, it has obtained a great advantage in cost control of main parts of personal computers."
"However, kangmaoda's personal computer products are not comparable with Huanyu's personal computers, especially the software ecosystem, which has not taken shape at all."
"Therefore, Goldman Sachs believes that we should first estimate Huanyu computer company at $400 million to test the capital's response."
Gao Xian said in a relaxed tone, "yes, it's a safe move."
……
Just after the conference call, Zhou Wenyao called again and reported with some excitement: "boss, a rich Texas man named Ross Perot took the initiative to contact my office. He wants to invest in Huanyu computer company."
For fear that Gao Xian didn't know the details of Ross Perot, Zhou Wenyao constantly introduced: "this man is also engaged in computer related business, and he is very successful. The electronic data system company he founded has an annual sales of more than 100 million US dollars, and his business has expanded to markets outside the United States. It is said that there is business in Tehran."
Before Zhou Wenyao finished, Gao Xian smiled, "I've heard of Ross Perot. He is indeed a successful businessman who started with computer business and can be called a model in this industry. Just make an appointment with him and I'll meet and talk with him."
"I'll inform Ross Perot right away." Zhou Wenyao said with a smile, "this man is very anxious. Let me tell the boss the result as soon as I contact you."

It hasn't just held a court.""The lawyers of both sides are experts. After one hand, they can have a basic judgment on the direction of the lawsuit." Zhou Wenyao replied: "portk company should feel that the situation is bad. Unexpectedly, little Microsoft is an iron plate, so they want to stop the uneconomical expenses in the lawsuit.""No, I still have high hopes for the publicity effect of this lawsuit." Gao Xian obviously indicated, "you should try to drag it out."Zhou Wenyao hesitated: "not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if Microsoft really has an adverse result..."Gao Xian said faintly, "Microsoft is not indispensable now."If gates and Allen heard this sentence, they would be heartbroken, but Zhou Wenyao didn't respond and promised immediately.The reason why Gao Xian did this is naturally to attract the attention of American society as much as possible and provide a favorable atmosphere for the valuation of Huanyu computer company.Roy Smith, who is responsible for the specific work of valuing Huanyu computer company at Goldman Sachs, also mentioned this in his communication with Gao Xian. "Recently, the personal computer industry has attracted extensive attention from ordinary people, which is good news for Huanyu computer company.""Goldman Sachs' research on the personal computer industry and Huanyu computer company has already had a preliminary result.""As far as Huanyu computer company is concerned, it is indeed the leader in this field at present. The only competitor qualified for comparison is kangmaoda company. After its acquisition of mostechnology, just like Huanyu computer company to Intel and ZILOG, it has obtained a great advantage in cost control of main parts of personal computers.""However, kangmaoda's personal computer products are not comparable with Huanyu's personal computers, especially the software ecosystem, which has not taken shape at all.""Therefore, Goldman Sachs believes that we should first estimate Huanyu computer company at $400 million to test the capital's response."Gao Xian said in a relaxed tone, "yes, it's a safe move."Just after the conference call, Zhou Wenyao called again and reported with some excitement: "boss, a rich Texas man named Ross Perot took the initiative to contact my office. He wants to invest in Huanyu computer company."For fear that Gao Xian didn't know the details of Ross Perot, Zhou Wenyao constantly introduced: "this man is also engaged in computer related business, and he is very successful. The electronic data system company he founded has an annual sales of more than 100 million US dollars, and his business has expanded to markets outside the United States. It is said that there is business in Tehran."Before Zhou Wenyao finished, Gao Xian smiled, "I've heard of Ross Perot. He is indeed a successful businessman who started with computer business and can be called a model in this industry. Just make an appointment with him and I'll meet and talk with him.""I'll inform Ross Perot right away." Zhou Wenyao said with a smile, "this man is very anxious. Let me tell the boss the result as soon as I contact you."PS: don't upgrade the operating system of your work computer. I fell into the pit yesterday.
