1991 Starting from the core

"Su, I decided to donate a sum of money to Yuanxin so that you can build a good roof."

"Okay, bring it."

…

Even though Su Yuanshan personally delivered the umbrella to the door of the car, Gates still got his trouser legs wet from the pouring rain. You can imagine how heavy the rain was.

The two of them were joking while walking towards the office upstairs.

This time, Gates came to see Su Yuanshan as a private person, so he didn't need to trouble others.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Yuanshan made Gates a cup of tea.

"How is the market response to win98 this time?" Su Yuanshan looked at Gates with a smile.

This time, Mr. Gates came here mainly to promote Windows 98, which was launched this month. This version is no different from the historical Win98 and also comes with a pre-installed browser.

But unlike win98 in history, the browser became OCSS.

In order to promote the Internet industry, Gates persuaded Carly and announced that the OCSS browser was open source and free - although today, Xinghai Browser can already be used without paying due to the pressure of free browsers from SUN, IBM and other companies. Use all functions, but due to historical issues, it has been difficult to make the decision to declare it free.

It was not until Gates and Carly had several confrontational negotiations that Xinghai decided to fully open source the OCSS browser and establish an open source community in order to continue the friendship and cooperation between the two parties and to free Microsoft from the suspicion of monopoly.

During the negotiation between the two parties, Su Yuanshan did not interfere during the whole process, and just said one sentence - the browser is a basic tool, and free is the general trend.

The effects of open source and pre-installation are immediate, and the benefits are obvious.

"Not bad." Gates held the teacup and looked at the gradually shrinking rain curtain outside the window and smiled: "Our stock price has increased a lot."

"Congratulations then."

Gates blinked: "Well, we have finally brought back the fluctuations caused by you releasing the WinOS news."

"..." Su Yuanshan was speechless for a while: "WinOS is adapted to the reduced instruction set, and it cannot compete with your Windows at all... Are Wall Street all a bunch of idiots?"

"They are technically idiots, but their sense of smell is not." Gates smiled meaningfully: "Su, stop pretending. Even Wall Street can understand the impact of telecore, and you still think you are harmless. Little white rabbit?"

"hey-hey……"

Su Yuanshan touched his hair, stood up, and spread his hands: "OK... As long as you support the YX architecture now, I can announce that the WinOS team has been disbanded."

"..."

"Look, you can't do it, right?" Su Yuanshan shrugged with a smile: "But... Bill, you should also understand that although I can decide many things, sometimes, unless I cheat, I still can't stop certain things. Develop in a certain direction.”

Su Yuanshan's words were very vague, but Gates understood them immediately.

Su Yuanshan's words indicate that as the influence of the YX architecture becomes stronger and stronger, the birth of a system to match it is inevitable.

This is determined by both technology and the market. Even Su Yuanshan cannot violate the objective laws of the development of things.

Unless...as Su Yuanshan said, Microsoft will develop a system that supports YX architecture processors, and it must be a desktop operating system.

"Are you serious?" Gates looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile.

"certainly."

"Well……"

"Wait!" Su Yuanshan suddenly realized that in addition to Windows 95 and 98, Microsoft also has a half-dead PDA system...

"WinCE doesn't count!"

Gates: "..."

Seeing Gates instantly deflated, Su Yuanshan burst into laughter.

WinCE came out very early, a year earlier than YOS - but before that, it had been beaten by Palm in the PDA market and was half-dead.

Of course, with the emergence of YOS, Palm was also beaten to the ground...

So much so that Su Yuanshan had forgotten that Microsoft also had an unknown WinCE.

"Bill, you don't really want to use WinCE on a smartphone, do you?"

"What? Do I still need your permission?" Gates asked with a smile.

"..." Su Yuanshan rolled his eyes silently.

It seems that Gates is still the same Gates, and he is absolutely unwilling to be absent from the field of mobile digital products.

And what gives Su Yuanshan a headache is that because the relationship with him is too close, Gates seems to be learning from Sony...

He wants to cross the river by touching the far core!

Thinking of this, Su Yuanshan couldn't help but look at Gates with a bit of hatred.

This guy... obviously regards Yuanxin's operating system as his formidable enemy, and is preparing to start a head-on confrontation with Yuanxin on YOS, the foundation and source of the current Yuanxin system.

"Okay, I will treat you as a challenge to YOS in advance."

Gates smiled and shook his head: "No, it was you first."

Su Yuanshan pursed his lips: "...who told you to be older than me?"

"..."

The two quarreled for a while, and then laughed at the same time.

Yes, it is indeed Su Yuanshan who first secretly supported Linux and turned the Yuanxin distribution into a designated system for certain departments of the country. Then he secretly developed WinOS and planned to occupy the notebook market...

Now, Gates is just taking out the previously neglected WinCE.

Two days later.

Su Yuanshan appeared on time at Microsoft's win98 conference held in the Software Park, and took the stage with Gates, announcing that Yuanxin's upcoming next-generation processor will fully support win98 features, and expressed great appreciation for win98. .

As for the platform, I must be dedicated to picking up nice things to say.

…

On July 3, amidst continuous rain showers, Yuanxin held a monthly meeting under the chairmanship of Duan Yongping. Su Yuanshan attended the meeting in a rare event - since Gao Xiaodi's team began to sprint towards the architecture code-named Polaris, He has been busy all the time. Basically, you don't go to corporate meetings if you can. At most, Wen Xiaoqian is sent to take notes.

He rarely attended even meetings of the technical department, mostly listening to reports.

At the meeting, Duan Yongping summarized the overall situation of each department last month, with special emphasis on Yuanxin’s two concept products and the situation of its directly-operated stores.

According to data, June is undoubtedly a good month for Yuanxin.

Yidoo concept mobile phones sold 14,200 units, and Xbook notebooks sold 4,300 units, one-third of which were sold in direct sales stores.

At present, Yuanxin has only fifteen direct sales stores worldwide.

…

"According to feedback from various departments, direct-operated stores are a model worthy of vigorous promotion. Therefore, the focus of the marketing department and overseas business department in the second half of this year is to expand directly-operated stores, and strive to reach about 100 stores worldwide before the end of the year. "

After Duan Yongping concluded, he looked at Su Yuanshan, who had been frowning and thinking: "Does Mr. Shan have anything to add?"

"Well, let me say a few words."

Su Yuanshan pursed his lips and nodded.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the steady rain, frowning deeply.

"I don't know if you saw yesterday's news. The news said that this year, various places have generally encountered large-scale and high-intensity rainfall that is rare in history. Yesterday, the country established a special flood control and flood control command center..."

Duan Yongping was startled, and then said: "Yes, my hometown is in Jiangxi. I heard from people in my hometown that the rain this year is very heavy and ridiculous. Maybe the Yangtze River will flood... But Mr. Shan, what can we do?"

"I have already contacted my uncle. As long as we can get the supplies, we can transport them to the disaster area through their logistics system."

Su Yuanshan looked at everyone.

He knew that the rain now was just the beginning.
