There is an easily overlooked fact in the "old script", that is, the great success of the "information superhighway" plan put forward by the United States in the early 1990s is inseparable from the reference role of French Internet Minitel.
Therefore, participating in the development of Minitel at this time, Gaoxian can accumulate a lot of resources, of which the value is immeasurable. Moreover, this participation process can make more or less money.
Happy technology came to France to expand its business, mainly to cooperate with IBM-PC to carry out system level basic development, involving a lot of large and small things.
For example, different languages alone will produce many implementation differences. Take the keyboard as an example. In order to adapt to the QWERTY layout used in English, that is, the first six letters of the keys in the first row of the letter area are QWERTY, while the frequency of daily use of French letters is different. Therefore, the keyboard of Minitel terminal adopts the AZERTY keyboard layout, that is, the first six letters of the keys in the first row of the letter area are AZERTY.
Of course, in addition to the pure technical participation in data processing and communication, the more specific and extensive operation participation using Minitel platform to provide services to consumers can not be ignored.
After all, no matter how powerful the underlying technology is, its purpose is to support the mass applications of the upper layer, including e-commerce, instant messaging and so on.
According to the current situation of the experimental network, the use cost of Minitel is basically determined, which should be divided into two types, or the data communication fee is borne by the service provider, and the user only pays the service fee of 10 French francs per hour; Or the user pays a data communication fee and service fee of about 20 French francs per hour.
It is worth mentioning that this tariff standard is the upper limit. In actual operation, the cost will only be low, not high.
In view of the perfection of Minitel, happy group also established a company in France to develop e-commerce. Although it has shallow qualifications and small scale, it is directly in the vision of Gaoxian through the core Secretariat of Gaoshi consortium.
While Sir Gao worked wholeheartedly for the Gao consortium, French and American researchers who broke out a fierce quarrel over who first discovered the love death virus held a cordial meeting. In particular, Luc Montagnier and Robert Gallo, who were ruthless in the space language conflict, met. The two sides showed great restraint and shook hands.
Seeing this, Gao Xian secretly made a judgment. This bad debt is like this. He can't always be entangled by this matter, so he went to the White House and made a summary report to President Reagan, who has fully recovered from the gunshot wound. It's a job.
After receiving President Reagan's thanks, sir Gao went out of the White House and returned to his hotel. Suddenly, he received a phone call. Charles downy had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital.
Gao Xian was startled at that time. Some time ago, he and the energetic Charles Tandy opened champagne to celebrate the success of IBM-PC in Minitel. How could anyone fall ill at once?
You know, although Charles downy has the old problem of heart disease, he usually pays great attention to maintenance and controls it well even when he is under great pressure.
With this question, Gao Xian rushed to New York and visited Charles downy lying in the hospital bed.
Fortunately, Charles downy's face looked bad, but he was out of danger.
"Sir Gao manages everything every day, so I don't think it's big, so there's no need to distract you from everything. As a result, I'm so angry..." Charles Tandy sighed and explained with a bitter smile: "The CEO of IBM is now John Opel. Therefore, compared with the period of Frank Cary, some business strategies begin to change, such as ibm-pc."
"A few days ago, John Opel held a meeting with me and decided to set up another input system branch in the personal computer department. I was promoted to President, and the vacant position was taken over by IBM headquarters."
"As soon as I heard it, John Opel saw the great success of IBM-PC and wanted to give up his promise to allow IBM-PC to operate independently and seize power. But the idea of operating mainframe computers in IBM headquarters is not suitable for ibm-pc. if you copy mechanically, the good situation will be destroyed."
"So I argued with John Opel. As a result, his attitude was very tough. He also said that some IBM-PC departments were too free and loose, which led to the loss of some interests..."
Seeing that Charles Downey began to get excited again, Gao Xian quickly waved his hand and said, "OK, Charles, I basically know everything. You can rest assured and I'll negotiate with John Opel."
……
After leaving Charles Tandy, Gao Xian calmed down and thought calmly. He felt that John Opel wanted to overhead Charles Tandy and comprehensively seize the management power of ibm-pc.
After all, once the son of heaven and a courtier, Frank Cary retires and John Opel takes over, it is inevitable that a new official will take office three times. However, picking the peach of IBM-PC has the lowest difficulty coefficient. Just adjust the internal structure of the group company directly.
Rational treatment belongs to rational treatment. Gao Xian still wants to talk to John Opel.
However, to Gao Xian's surprise, John Opel's official airs were quite large. The Secretary said that at the beginning of his appointment, he was busy inspecting all parts of the group and had a tight schedule.
Sir Gao was annoyed when he heard this. I'm a heavyweight director of IBM. You think I'm a little guy. You play the trick of not seeing me without an appointment. It's clear that you're avoiding me because you want to seize power over ibm-pc.
"Tell John Opel that if I can't see him tomorrow, I'll ask for a board meeting." after Sir Gao coldly dropped this sentence, he snapped and hung up the phone.
Patricia Hurst observed this situation to Gao Xiansheng's three mixed race sons and whispered, "Dad looks very angry. Let's stay away."
Gao Xian was amused. He immediately stared, waved and said, "all three of you come and report to me how your homework has been completed."
Miss Hurst gave Gao Xianduan a cup of fragrant handmade coffee and smiled: "I heard a news that IBM has opened the joint of the White House. At the beginning of next year, President Reagan will announce that the federal government will give up the antitrust investigation of IBM's monopoly on the mainframe computer market."
Gao Xianruo nodded, "as soon as you remind me, I understand more and more. Without the anti-monopoly investigation, the sword of Damocles hangs overhead, and IBM executives have more courage."
