The young people are really full of blood. According to the report to Gao Xian from the subordinates following up the project, gates really dropped out of Harvard University and set up a micro soft company with Allen.
As for how the Gates family flies, outsiders don't know.
Gao Xian only cares about whether gates and Allen work hard, and nothing else is in his consideration.
In the final analysis, with Gates's family conditions, even if he drops out of school, the sky will not fall. People must have a way out. Their dropping out and starting a business can't be imitated by ordinary students.
Gao Xian is a little worried that after all, father gates is a very capable lawyer. Don't really find anything to mess with in investing in his son's venture.
To be fair, Gao Xian promised gates and Allen a kind condition. As long as their basic language compiler meets the requirements, it will become a part of Huanyu electronic personal computer system.
The specific content is that the license fee for the basic language compiler is US $100000 for three years. As for how many Huanyu electronic personal computers are installed, it has nothing to do with gates and Allen. They just need to ensure the maintenance and upgrading of relevant software for three years.
Gates and Allen, two geniuses, sold for only $100000 in three years. It seems that they are not as honest as they go to the world's famous universities and work in the world's big companies, but the accounts can't be calculated so simply.
Because as long as gates and Allen develop the basic language compiler well enough to attract the interest of other PC manufacturers, they can sell it to each other. Gaoxian has no mean exclusive restrictions.
In addition, Gao Xian invested $50000 in gates and Allen's Micro soft company, which accounts for only one-third of the shares that cannot be diluted without consent.
In short, Gao Xian reached the final cooperation with gates and Allen based on the principle of fully mobilizing their enthusiasm.
It can be said that Gao Xian has a clear conscience. I believe most people in the outside world can see the credibility of cooperation, and father gates should not be an exception.
Seeing that Gao Xianting attached great importance to the two young people, gates and Allen, Zhou Wenyao personally supervised all the work related to them, and said in the report: "Gates and Allen are full of confidence in the prospect of basic language compiler. They work like they forget to eat and sleep. They must have planned to sell their basic language compiler to many personal computer platforms, including us."
Gao Xian heard Zhou Wenyao's implication that gates and Allen took advantage. He smiled. "Gates and Allen are smart people. If they want to sign explicit terms to control them on black and white documents, they can only be inferior, and even affect the mobilization of enthusiasm."
"Fortunately, the intrigues of the business sea are beyond the imagination of two technical talents. Gates and Allen will certainly suffer losses. At that time, they will understand our good from their hearts."
Guess Gao Xian has another way to control gates and Allen, Zhou Wenyao didn't say anything more. Anyway, compared with this attention, the money invested is quite limited.
Therefore, Zhou Wenyao began to report another important thing, "the spreadsheet patent we applied for really can't be done. The Patent Office insists that the product novelty can't make the mathematical algorithm patentable."
"Well..." Gao Xian shook his head regretfully.
As long as you have a little contact with office automation, you will have the impression that word processing, spreadsheet and slide show are the three standard applications of office software.
At this stage, the technical basis of graphical user interface is not available, and the slide is out of play; There are many and mature market solutions for word processing, so there is no need to fight for it; Spreadsheets can only run on IBM, general electric and Honeywell mainframe computers, and only a handful of large enterprises such as at & T and general motors can use them.
In other words, spreadsheet is still a very strange product for the mass market for ordinary users.
Seeing this, Gao Xian plans to make a special spreadsheet product based on personal computer technology to test the entry-level commercial market.
In the "old script", spreadsheet software for personal computer platform first appeared on Apple II in 1979. At that time, the two main indicators of hardware configuration were that the CPU was 8-bit microprocessor mos6502 and 64KB memory.
Now, two classic eight bit microprocessors such as Intel Intel Intel 8080 and Motorola MC6800 have been mature, mass produced and widely adopted. The "lightweight" eight bit microprocessors Z80 and mos6502 derived from them will also be introduced to the market by the end of this year.
In terms of dynamic random access memory, in addition to the price is not close enough to the people, it is not a problem to scrape up a memory capacity of 64KB.
Therefore, Gao Xian naturally and naturally developed products to realize the function of spreadsheet by using the existing personal computer technology.
Of course, this spreadsheet machine must be different from a personal computer. For example, three Intel Intel Intel 8080 microprocessors are used, one performs the functions of a general personal computer, the other accelerates the mathematical operations involved in the spreadsheet, and the last one ensures the synchronization of printing operations.
It is necessary to point out that the electronic form machine realized by Gaoxian using personal computer technology is very different from the electronic form software running on mainframe computer; As for the price, it doesn't exceed 15000 dollars. It's close to the people.
Gao Xian is very optimistic about the market prospect of spreadsheet machines. He also has successful experience for reference, that is, the word processor is now popular.
According to the market research results, about 7% of the employees of American companies are engaged in secretarial work, which shows that the weight of copywriting has increased, which provides a broad market for word processors and attracts fierce fighting among IBM, Wang'an computer and other enterprises.
How good is a word processor? It was originally intended to assist secretarial work, but it significantly reduced the demand for this post, resulting in the unemployment of many secretaries.
This is the power of technological progress. How can enterprise executives not like it?
By analogy, the first target staff group assisted by the spreadsheet machine is the accountant. From the experience of the "old script", it is sure to be popular, which can be called the best stepping stone to test the water of the computer commercial market.
With such a promising product, I don't care about the high cost of patent application fees. Of course, I want to build a patent fortress.
But the result reported by Zhou Wenyao disappointed Gao Xian.
Seeing Gao Xian thinking for a long time, Zhou Wenyao tentatively said: "there will be a large industrial product exhibition in Las Vegas in a few days, which is very in line with the requirements of the initial test of our spreadsheet machine, but there is a gap in patents..."
"If you can't build a patent fortress, forget it. Seize the market first." Gao Xian clapped his hands immediately.
Just now, Gao Xian figured out a truth from the word processor.
In a few years, the performance of personal computer hardware will be further improved, and the function of word processing software will be further powerful, surpassing the word processor with single function, and finally eliminating the word processor.
The rise and fall of such word processors must also apply to the spreadsheet machines spawned by high strings.
Since you can't make money with spreadsheets once and for all, start first!
After listening to this, Zhou Wenyao, who was afraid of high string and cutting corners, was relieved. He was eager to try and said, "I'll arrange a special exhibition position for the spreadsheet machine right away."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
