Rebirth of the Tech Madman

…

Since the mid-1980s, economies with excellent data such as Hong Kong, Treasure Island, and Singapore have faced the problem of weak exports.

Against this backdrop, Hong Kong Governor Youde actively promoted the Hong Kong economy, and the mainland has naturally become a top priority.

Just in December of this year, at the beginning of this month, Hong Kong Governor Youde led a high-level economic and trade delegation from Hong Kong to Yenching. He presided over the opening ceremony of the Yenching Office of the Heung Kong Trade Development Bureau and hosted the holding in Yenching. The opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Products Exhibition.

According to the itinerary, Governor Youde was scheduled to return to Hong Kong on December 5th, but in the early morning of the same day, he died in his sleep due to a heart attack at the British Embassy in China at the age of 62. , Has become the only Hong Kong Governor who has passed away during his tenure-there should be no newcomers.

When Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom visited China in October this year, Governor Youde was still busy with the saddle beside him. After only more than a month, he unexpectedly passed away. This made the incident itself more sudden.

The position of the Governor of Hong Kong should not be left unattended for a moment. Sir Zhong Yijie immediately acted as the Governor and formally announced the news through the Hong Kong Government Information Office at 2:25 am, and all parties quickly sent messages of condolences.

The letter of condolence from Ji Pengfei, Director of the Office of the State Administration of the State Council of China, Hong Kong and Macau, said: Sir Youde suddenly passed away in Beijing. The bad news came and was shocked. Sir Youde is an outstanding diplomat, and there is a good public-private friendship between us. Over the years, he has made important contributions to promoting the development of friendly and cooperative relations between China and Britain. We are deeply sorry for his unfortunate passing. Please express our deep condolences and condolences to his wife and family members.

The Prime Minister’s Office at 10 Downing Street in London stated: The Prime Minister is deeply sad to learn of Sir Youde’s sudden death. She believed that Sir Youde was a very good civil servant. He worked hard for the interests of Hong Kong and Hong Kong. He was still serving Hong Kong when he passed away. He is a model.

Buckingham Palace published a message from Queen Elizabeth II to the Acting Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Zhong Yijie: Prince Philip and himself expressed their deep sorrow when they learned that Sir Youde had passed away in Beijing. Sir Youde has an excellent political record in Hong Kong and he has served the motherland very well. Hong Kong will be very important in the next few years. It is nostalgic for the loss of good materials.

It is not difficult to see from the reactions of all parties that everyone agrees that Governor Youde is sitting in Xiangjiang, where the situation is complicated at this stage. After all, the Chinese side does not want to contact a second fool, and the British side does not want the clerk to be a second fool.

But this accident disrupted the existing running-in situation between the two sides. In particular, the British side could not find a suitable successor for a while. You know, the current governor of Hong Kong is not the former emperor of the earth. It is an errand that is far more laborious than moisturizing. Not only does it lack the attractiveness of oily water, it also has high requirements for ability and quality.

The experience of Hong Kong Governor Youde after he officially took over as MacLehose in May 1982 also illustrates this point. The future of Hong Kong became the first acute problem, which directly induced the stock market crash, the burst of the real estate bubble, the turbulence of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, and the accompanying bank. The wave of bankruptcy, the wave of Hong Kong emigration, etc.; when the dust settled, he still had to think about how to take advantage of the transition period to add some of the British mark to the genes of Hong Kong.

Youde's performance has certainly been affirmed by the United Kingdom if he can stand in the position of Governor of Hong Kong until now. Nowadays, it is not easy to find a China Connect that can be compared with it.

The prime minister's office, which was entangled for this, became more and more angry about the indiscriminate infighting among the buns in the Far East interest group.

That's right, the rumor that Hong Kong Governor Youde was forced to death by HSBC and Qinhe had spread from Xiangjiang to the British Isles. The British media's ability to hype gossip is world-renowned, and the ruling and opposition parties are instantly aware of it.

Many bankers in London ridiculed HSBC mercilessly, "Just because of this popularity, still want to kill back to the mainland, fly to the branch and become a phoenix to compete with us?"

HSBC Chairman Shen Bi, who once boasted about “sovereignty for governance” in front of British Prime Minister Thatcher, turned into a holiday in the last few months before his retirement. The new HSBC Chairman Pu Weishi took office early and began to eliminate this round. The bad influence caused by various black materials and negative news unearthed in the vicious fight.

To show people's diligence in the image of a victim, the pressure is not that great. Soon after attending Youde’s condolence ceremony, Niubijian took the lead to state, “If the Hong Kong government finally decides to withdraw the franchise of HeungKong Telecom, HeungKong Telecom will be willing to accept this arrangement as long as the compensation is reasonable."

However, this reconciliation attitude is of little significance in the near term. The corresponding compensation amount for Gein is absolutely indispensable, and the acting Governor Zhong Yijie cannot make a decision at all. In addition, those Chinese businessmen who had been swayed by Shen Bi before were also frightened by this vicious battle, and for the time being, they did not intend to add fuel to the fire.

Tang Huan and Hong Kong Governor Youde could not talk about much personal friendship, nor did they get any extra benefits from each other. One of the biggest results of the cooperation is that Hong Kong Governor Youde, who values ​​higher education, helped the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts get on track as quickly as possible. As for its promised Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park, there has been no obvious progress.

Of course, this is not entirely blamed on Hong Kong Governor Youde. After the bubble burst, the situation in the real estate industry in Hong Kong was extremely complicated, and the subordinates Qin and Tang Huan, who was a member of the team, were full of people who did not know that the hungry guys were hungry. In order to enhance the cohesiveness of the Xiangjiang film industry, he set his sights on the cinema. The "Outline of Xiangjiang Development", which was excluded from cultural and entertainment facilities, described it as a powerful enemy threatening the future of the Xiangjiang film industry, which naturally provoked some opportunistic retaliations in the real estate industry.

Even though the death of Hong Kong Governor Youde was due to the vicious fight between HSBC and Qinhe, Tang Huan could only say sorry. Judging from the results that HSBC's status has been pushed down from the Xiangjiang Altar, this war is very worthwhile. He is getting closer and closer to his goal, and he needs to work harder.

Reflecting on Hong Kong Governor Youde’s failure to take advantage and the possibility that certain subsequent actions may have a subversive sensation, Tang Huan decided to take precautions for the future Hong Kong Governor. Isn't the British Prime Minister's office still worrying about the candidate? Then I will invest in that person in advance based on the original time and space intelligence. If the historical trajectory remains the same, then it is regarded as finding a convenient door for myself.

When the remote control was completed in the UK, some of the latest market situation summary was faxed from the headquarters of Fangyuan Computer in Mountain View.

The parties fighting in the PC market, which was already full of gunpowder, were irritated by the Christmas sales season and their eyes were red. According to the statistics of professional it media, after entering December, the total advertising expenditure of various manufacturers has reached hundreds of millions of dollars. This shows how crazy the competitive atmosphere is.

After ibm launched a new generation of personal computer ps/2 with a micro-channel architecture, its eyes widened, and it waited for the first imitation to come out to show the monkey.

However, ibm-pc compatible machine manufacturers have long learned the lessons of Compaq’s previous lawsuits. The reason why Compaq was able to retreat was because there was time to drill. Now this pit is different. It is covered with vertical lines. The nail that gets up, there is only one dead end to jump down, who dares!

Seeing this scene, the Blue Giant couldn't be more proud of it-he must settle down first when he is getting rid of the outside world, and the day is just around the corner.

The ibm-pc compatible machine manufacturer that has always existed as a technology follower cannot come up with a copycat solution similar to ps/2 in a short time, and can only continue to play the old brand-cost-effective.

You know, with straightforward indicators such as cpu speed and memory capacity, the price of an ibm-pc compatible machine can be achieved with the same configuration of a personal computer as the judging standard, which is only one-half to one-third of the original ibm machine.

With a flexible operating mechanism, although ibm-pc compatible machines are cheap, manufacturers can achieve small profits but quick turnover. In contrast, ibm, which is heavily bureaucratic, has long relied on the huge profits derived from monopoly. It is difficult to adapt to such a survival law.

As the leader of the ibm-pc compatible machine camp, Compaq does its best to give full play to this advantage. The marketing expenses it spends are top of the list, which means that there is a kind of lasting battle in it, and the results received are also good. Consumers actually began to agree with its views.

The argument that Compaq promotes can be summed up in one sentence: The ps/2 micro-channel architecture can indeed provide faster speeds, but it is meaningless to users and is not enough to bridge the price gap.

When more and more people began to be influenced by this value, Tang Huan became a little restless. He slammed the file on the desk with a slap and frowned.

A mere ps/2 can be described as "fast and useless." Isn't that faster Fangyuan personal computer in danger of being stinky?

The performance of ibm personal computers cannot be fully utilized. The main reason lies in the mechanism that has both advantages and disadvantages-the foundry cooperation model including the separation of software and hardware, and the operating system ms-dos provided by Microsoft, not to mention the multitasking function. The quality alone cannot be complimented.

In fact, the operating system on the ibm personal computer platform is not only Microsoft's ms-dos. Gary Kildare, the founder of the digital research company that Gates robbed of this business, has been trying to recapture the operating system market. It launched the intel8086 version of cp/m-cp/m-86, to compete with ibm's appointed Microsoft operating system ms-dos.

Although Gary Kildare approximates cp/m through ms-dos to the extent that it is an infringement and is enough to initiate a threat of legal proceedings, he has obtained permission from ibm, and cp/m-86 has landed on the ibm-pc platform. It is not easy for the color giant to clean up such a thorn.

The buyout pc-dos, also known as ms-dos, is priced at $40; while the price of cp/m-86 is as high as $240. In contrast between the two compartments, it is obvious how consumers choose.

Later, Gary Kildare added support for multi-tasking to cp/m-86, trying to convince users that the 6 times price is definitely worth the money.

ibm does not want personal computers to be too powerful so as not to affect its lucrative mainframe business, so it further supports Microsoft and strengthens the dominance of ms-dos on the ibm-pc platform.

Up to now, cp/m-86 has indeed been squeezed out, but ibm has also been squeezed by Microsoft. The operating system has become a bottleneck on its own personal computer platform, and it cannot be used in the same way as those. The ibm-pc compatible machine of the system is distinguished.

When ibm decided to follow the general trend of the industry and jointly develop a new multi-tasking operating system-os/2 with Microsoft, the performance of this new software was somewhat unsatisfactory.

One of the main reasons why the work is not beautiful is that the engineers on both sides do not get along well. The programmers on Microsoft's side rely on stocks and easily own tens of millions of dollars in net worth, while the ibm programmers with dead wages take it for granted that Microsoft, which is not good at level, will not be embraced. The thigh of ibm can't become a nouveau riche. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Under this contradiction, it is quite rare for os/2 to complete the project on schedule, and it is impossible to afford the expectation of perfection. In the end, the operating system is still a shortcoming, unable to fully explore the performance of ibm personal computers.

To put it bluntly, Compaq has used Compaq to use "too fast to make sense" to catch the painful foot. It is a typical deserved thing.

But Tang Huan hopes that the influence of this value can only be raging everywhere in the ibm personal computer camp, and don't spread to the outside and involve his own proud work.

Tang Huan directly approved his opinion on the fax, and then transferred it to the marketing department, asking him to counterattack the product in a targeted manner, so as not to let customers be fooled by Compaq. As for the ibm that may benefit from this, it is good to give it alms.

What Tang Huan's big boss didn't expect was that his subordinates responded before leaving get off work that day. It turned out that they had an idea earlier, that is, their own Golden State Warriors star, Michael Jordan, who became the best player of the NBA, the title of "flying man" he got inspired the inspiration.

In Tang Huan's sentence, "Who said that it is meaningless, it is because Compaq has no imagination!", the marketing department continued the idea of ​​"With speed, can we fly" to Fangyuan's personal computer.

Tang Huan greatly appreciated this. The next day, he specially called John Chambers and others for a meeting and said: "In this personal computer standard battle, we need to highlight the significance of performance, and increase the cost of memory for the entire computer. The impact of the price of personal computers."

John Chambers immediately heard the sound of the piano and knew Yayi: The boss is trying to drive his competitors to death. You know, now the purchase cost of dynamic random access memory chips has risen!
