Reborn Capital Madman

The personal computers developed and manufactured by Gao Xian through Huanyu Electronics have been upgraded to the third generation and have exciting features for this era, such as color displays in hardware, floppy disk drives, more expansion slots, and software

More powerful disk operating system, richer format word processing, etc.

On a stage with a starry sky in the background, Charles Tondi mainly demonstrated three personal computer application scenarios, namely home, school, and small business.

Charles Tondy impassionedly emphasized many times that this generation of products has more practical functions. Whether it is a teacher inputting a scientific calculation formula or a clerk compiling a document, it can do the job.

The reason why the third-generation Universal Electronics personal computer can provide these practical and powerful functions is mainly due to the fact that its central processor adopts Zilog's eight-bit microprocessor z80.

The designer of the z80, Feijin, is also the designer of the Intel eight-bit microprocessor Tel 8080. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that in addition to being code compatible with the Tel 8080, the z80 is also superior in functionality. One of the main manifestations is that the z80

The supporting peripheral chips are very rich, and the development system based on this is also very complete.

For example, when Gary Kildare first started developing the operating system p/ for the Universal Electronics personal computer using Tel 8080, code debugging was completed byte by byte through paper tape input and output.

, that kind of difficulty and boringness is absolutely intolerable to ordinary people.

Now, it is no longer necessary to develop the lowest level system for the third generation Huanyu Electronics personal computer. Zilog company has provided a more concise and efficient development platform.

Not surprisingly, since the third-generation Huanyu Electronics personal computer is so powerful, its price has naturally increased. Depending on the difference in memory configuration from 8kb to 48kb, etc., it ranges from US$1,300 to US$2,660.

The range of 100 US dollars is in sharp contrast to the price of the first two generations of Huanyu Electronics personal computers, which were priced under one thousand dollars, and it also reflects the huge room for improvement in the third generation of Huanyu Electronics personal computers.

Before walking off the stage, Charles Downey mentioned the true meaning of the first, second and third generations of Universal Electronics personal computers, that is, product continuity, that is to say, in the first generation

The software that can run on the second-generation platform can also run on the third-generation platform, and future products will follow this tradition as much as possible.

When Charles Dondy sat down next to Gao Xian, Gao Xian applauded heartily and praised: "The speech was very exciting."

You know, Charles Tondi is no longer a young man, but in recent years he has been able to deeply understand the essence of the personal computer industry and implement it in his work. This ability to adapt to the times is not something everyone can achieve.

Did it.

Charles Tondi smiled, then took out a pill bottle from his pocket, poured out the pills, and put them into his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Gao Xian quickly asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Charles Tondi waved his hand, "I have an old heart problem. I was a little excited when I was giving a speech on the stage just now. It doesn't matter."

Gao Xian suggested: "Charles, don't work too hard, take a vacation and relax."

Charles Tondi smiled and shook his head, "Work is already a great pleasure to me."

Seeing what Charles Tondi said, Gao Xian was really speechless. He had indeed met many workaholics like Charles Tondi, and almost no one was willing to listen to his advice.

Regarding the operation of Huanyu Electronics PC, Gao Xian, in addition to focusing on the product itself, also spared no effort to create an ecosystem with Huanyu Electronics PC as the platform.

Therefore, after Charles Downey officially released the third generation Universal Electronics personal computer, representatives of outstanding software developers including Gary Kildare, Seymour Rubinstein, and Gates also appeared on stage one after another.

Give speeches on the operating systems, word processing, programming tools, etc. that you are good at.

Gao Xian didn't want to spend any more time participating in these sessions, so he got up and walked out. As a result, he happened to see Jobs looking around with interest at the unique decoration design in the hotel.

"Steve, when will your Apple computer be launched?" Gao Xian asked casually.

"Let's wait a month at most." Jobs answered a little absent-mindedly.

So, Gao Xian teased, "Did you feel a lot of pressure after seeing the third-generation Universal Electronics personal computer in front of you?"

Jobs stopped and thought thoughtfully and replied: "The Apple computer still lacks a floppy disk drive, which must be installed as soon as possible. In addition, I want those software developers to also write application software for Apple computers. In this case, Apple computers will not be inferior to Huanyu Electronics."

The personal computer is out of date.”

"Oh, you are observing very carefully. Do you think it is so easy to establish an ecosystem?" Gao Xian shook his head with a smile. Just then, Mike Markkula came out to find Jobs. After a few casual conversations, they started talking.

Separated.

…

Gao Kun's live demonstration of optical fiber carrying telephone traffic has actually been successfully done several times in Silicon Valley before. However, at that time, the participants were mostly professionals such as engineers. Now that he has come to the Las Vegas Sands Hotel to demonstrate, it is natural that

In order to attract public attention.

Gao Xian specifically asked the staff of the Sands Hotel who cooperated with Gao Kun's demonstration, and learned that after a considerable part of the phone traffic was transferred to the experimental optical fiber, the operation was normal, and the call sound quality seemed to be significantly improved.

In fact, amidst the praise for the new technology, Gao Xian didn't pay much attention to this subjective judgment. He was just wondering whether he could use the word optical fiber to speculate in the capital field.

…

On May 25, the premiere of the "Star Wars" movie was held at the Sands Hotel, operated by Paramount. Naturally, Hollywood celebrities gathered here, and it was a star-studded event.

Needless to say, everyone admired the layout of the Sands Hotel. The guest rooms, casino and other places were suddenly overcrowded.

Seeing this grand occasion, Gao Xian was of course very happy, but there was also some trouble, because there was no shortage of troublemakers. The premiere of "Star Wars" was held at the Sands Hotel, and so many Hollywood celebrities were invited to help out, including Frank.

Sinatra, and the other members of the Rat Pack.

Gao Xian wasn't sure whether someone was taking advantage of the situation or trying to stir up trouble and create conflicts.

Fortunately, "Star Wars" worked hard and quickly attracted the attention of the media, preventing this undercurrent from making waves. Taking advantage of the Memorial Day holiday, the weekend box office statistics reached a record high.

Seven million dollars.

As a result, the overworked Lucas no longer had high blood pressure, and Charles Bludorn was even more excited by the strong rise in the stock price of Gulf Western Industries, and Bluestone Fund took advantage of the powerful advertising generated by this wave of enthusiasm.

The effect is known to more and more Americans.
