Chapter 554 Please give the computer soul to the supercomputer software company!

The fact that John Akers can serve as the CEO of IBM after Frank Kerry and John Opel is enough to show that his status in IBM at this time is already very high.

This is why historically, in 1980, IBM awarded such an important outsourcing contract to an unknown company.

Microsoft Corporation.

At this time, Microsoft was a very inconspicuous company in country M. If it weren't for the relationship between Mary Gates and John Akers, it would have been impossible for IBM to hand over such an important outsourcing contract to an inconspicuous company.

.

Now, Yang Ming deliberately talked about IBM's competitors, including Hewlett-Packard, Pingguo, and even Japanese computer companies, to make the three of them afraid.

For these companies, the biggest fear is their competitors, or peers.

"Sir Yang, you have to know that we have a huge advantage in office computers. Our office computers are very mature and stable."

Frank Carey said hurriedly.

Yang Ming said: "I know, but the quotes given by other companies are very good, and now Future Capital is still the largest shareholder of Pingguo Company."

The three of them were at a loss.

He liked the Windows 1 operating system very much after seeing it. He felt that this operating system was born for IBM computers.

IBM does not exclude software from other companies.

In the end, Microsoft successfully retained the EM-DOS system, and of course the subsequent Windows series appeared.

However, I still feel like there is something wrong here.

There is no such thing as a soul.

"Yes, it was established in March. It has been developed and is ready to be launched globally."

He even wanted to buy out the software.

All large state-owned enterprises and large companies in China must use genuine Windows systems, because if they dare to use pirated versions, Microsoft's legal department will immediately sue and pay compensation.

Yang Ming really had to admire these big guys. Historically, the success of these people had a lot to do with country M's technological innovation, system, etc.

Frank Carey asked.

"Sir Yang, I wonder how much your operating system costs?"

A request?

Frank Carey was surprised.

However, Yang Ming knew that the Windows series, and later the genuine market, became more and more expensive for Microsoft. Even in China, when the per capita income of ordinary people was not high, they actually sold a set of more than a thousand, so that the market

All are flooded with pirated Windows systems.

"Sir Yang, you just demonstrated this Windows system. I like it very much. I wonder if it can be sold to IBM?"

Even if IBM is willing to use Windows in the future, it is impossible for IBM to agree if it wants to monopolize Windows systems.

According to their thinking, if Sir Yang wanted to buy a computer, he would of course buy it from Pingguo Company.

He originally thought that Sir Yang's Imperial Group purchased 200,000 office computers just for office use. He did not expect that there was also this layer of relationship involved.

"I want to buy out all the ownership of this software, so that it can only be used by IBM Computer Company, and cannot be used by other computer companies."

"you mean?"

Frank Kerry will retire next year, which means that before stepping down as CEO, he wants to win more orders and performance for IBM.

Frank Carey thinks so.

But how could Yang Ming sell the Windows system?

it's out of the question.

Yang Ming said: "Mr. Frank, I only have one request now."

The two of them entered the study room.

He had just seen Sir Yang demonstrate the Windows 1 operating system, and he found it to be very good, especially when paired with an IBM computer.

Microsoft's Bill Gates was unwilling and went so far as to file a lawsuit with IBM. In the end, Microsoft could only pay IBM $1 million in compensation.

So why not secretly place an order from Pingguo Company, but loudly announce that it is ordering from all over the world?

"Sir Young, I want to talk to you alone." Frank Carey said.

In the future, there will not only be IBM computers in the world, but on the contrary, more and more computer companies will appear.

If all IBM computers are equipped with such an operating system, more consumers around the world will inevitably buy such computers.

When will this happen?

Sir Yang actually founded such a software company in Silicon Valley.

In order to win this order, Frank Carey felt that he would satisfy the requirements of Imperial Group and Sir Yang as much as possible.

Supercomputer software company?

operating system?

"Sir Yang, is this Windows 1 system of yours?"

Frank Carey said.

price?

Mutual cooperation, isn’t that what it is now?

Frank Carey was really shocked.

I have to say that the boss is the boss.

Yang Ming also thought that IBM would not reject the so-called soul. The other party actually wanted to buy the soul back and use it as his own computer soul.

Historically, IBM has been cooperating with other companies to develop software, including outsourcing contracts to let other companies develop related software.

Also, the CEOs of these companies are not simple. He can see the role of this system at a glance.

Now, regarding the listing price of Windows 1, Yang Ming is planning to sell it at US$99 a set.

"sure."

When Yang Ming turned on the IBM computer in the study room and showed Frank Carey his Windows 1 system, Frank Carey was shocked and speechless.

"Sir Yang, regarding the Imperial Group's office computer order, in addition to our IBM company being able to follow your company's requirements, including various hardware requirements, we can also negotiate the price, which is at least more favorable than that of Hewlett-Packard and other companies."

Historically, IBM and Microsoft have cooperated in this way. However, IBM wanted to buy out the EM-DOS system at that time.

"Sir Yang, I wonder what your request is?"

Let IBM's computers be equipped with the operating system of a supercomputer software company?

What's going on?

Even then, Microsoft still insists that it has not lowered the price, but has always asked the country to crack down on piracy of the wind system.

Frank Carey was a little unable to react.

"Mr. Frank, it is impossible to sell the Windows system, but we can cooperate. IBM can sell the hardware to the Imperial Group, and the supercomputer software company of the Imperial Group can sell the software to IBM."

Microsoft's Windows 1.0 was released in November 1985, initially priced at US$99; the GUI computer platforms at that time were GEM and DESQview/X, so users did not think highly of Windows 1.0.

This huge order from Imperial Group is exactly what he needs.

Yang Ming wants to target the global computer market.

"Let your IBM company cooperate with my supercomputer software company. From now on, all IBM computers will be equipped with our company's operating system."

Compared with the arcade machines of Yang Ming Empire Game Company, this price is already very cheap.

"Mr. Frank, I'm going to sell a set for $99."
