Chapter 493 King of the cottage
Gabe's words made Carter silent for a long time...
It's hard to say whether Microsoft will take a different path because of the quarrel and loss of money. It will deviate from its original historical trajectory and investment in it will probably...
Even though he is not very familiar with the computer industry, Carter also knows that indos did change its kernel in the later period, from dos to nt, but that was at least after 2000...
Back to the present: In the face of future world-famous corporate investments like Microsoft, Carter has always been reluctant to get involved in too many decision-making matters. He is afraid that this will deviate from the original trajectory of history.
But young people always have their own temper.
No matter rich or poor, no man, or young boy, is willing to bow his head and submit. Especially in this situation where Carter thinks he has done nothing wrong at all.
But the reality is: don’t bow your head, that’s fine! But it’s hard to say whether Microsoft will be the Microsoft of the future. Your investment, your 1.2 million US dollars, will be returned hundreds or thousands of times in 20 to 30 years.
Investment may be gone...
No one can tolerate this loss.
Bow your head! Bow your head to money!
Carter sighed: It turns out that people who bend over backwards for money are never just workers...
"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood? He seems to be very excited?"
When the Yale Bowl became quiet again, except for the sound of the cleaning staff sweeping the auditorium, there was silence. Rick, who had already come out of the control room and stood by the exit channel, held his arms environmentally friendly.
"It's nothing, I'm just lamenting my naivety. Everyone is gone?"
"Leave early! We are the only ones left. Let's go to the Aikowen Hotel and have a dinner..."

"Hey, Professor Tang? Yes, it's me... I want to ask, how are you developing the DOS system now?"
The DOS system was for sale, but Carter was stubborn in the end and was unwilling to accept Gates' low offer.
You can get a discount, but that’s not because we’re afraid of you!
Carter, who pays some attention to the sense of ritual, hopes to get into trouble again in this business that bids farewell to his youth and the green years when he can still enjoy grudges.
It comes with the research and development results of Tsinghua University and is packaged and sold to Microsoft!
It means that I have contributed to the update and development of DOS and paid the cost. You are not allowed to spend more money on this? Once the money is added, hey, I won! I did not bow my head! There was no price reduction!
After the boy who slayed the dragon returned, he was still a boy...
Ugh~
Cursing himself secretly for being "bad," Carter brought his attention back to reality.
"Development... we... we haven't developed much now, so we just wrote some more operation commands. Did something happen? Mr. Black."
International long-distance travel across the ocean is a luxury in this era.
Professor Tang, who had just gone to work early in the morning and had not sat on the stool under his buttocks, was suddenly called to the telephone room where international calls could be answered. His heart suddenly felt...
At this time of year, it was easy to guess who made the call. There were not many goals in total. Professor Tang felt a little guilty for no reason when faced with Carter, who was like a supervisor and asked about the progress.
"There are indeed some changes. I need to sell Professor Tang's dos copyright. I will fax a new licensing agreement tomorrow. While I still own the dos copyright, the original school-enterprise cooperation agreement should be negotiated voluntarily.
!”
Just a few more operating commands?
Carter was a little discouraged. This was not conducive to price negotiation. However, now that things have happened, Carter doesn't care too much...
It’s only been a year in total, so we can’t really expect to reach heaven on the other side of the ocean, right?
Of course, you can count on gliding to take off into the sky. But "left foot, right foot" style of taking off...
"Ah?! This is too sudden! Mr. Black, you...the authorization you are talking about? Is it a commercial authorization?"
"Um..."
New questions once again plunged Carter into silence...
Yes, what kind of authorization should I give?
Commercial authorization?
At that time, will there still be room for Microsoft to survive in China? History will be changed by itself again...
But if commercial authorization is not granted...
Fuck, you’ve already spoken about authorization. So what if you don’t grant commercial authorization?
They got the kernel source code of Microsoft's operating system so long in advance. Even if it is used for research, it can only be used in the laboratory and cannot be used commercially. But as long as they understand the code logic and compilation technology, they can create a new operating system by then.
Is it difficult to come out?
The domestic market may also face the risk of losing indos! In this era when windowed operating systems have not yet appeared, most software developers are playing with the underlying architecture. For example, dos is a system that directly issues instructions to the hardware.
.
A rough understanding of the so-called in98 in the future is: it is a shell placed on dos. Clicking a "button" with the mouse actually sends an instruction to dos, and then uses dos to manipulate the computer's computing power to solve the problem. The real solution
The problem, the thing that handles the instructions, is still dos!
But if you don't give it, you will slap yourself in the face. Carter can guarantee that there is no risk in the short term. For the sake of foreign exchange, even if Tsinghua University is dissatisfied, China will not embarrass itself and its business.
But it’s really hard to say whether this is a barrier and whether it will have any impact in the future...
Carter is unwilling to offend his opponent if possible.
This time, Carter was once again embarrassed by his naive self. If he didn't give it, his image as a "good friend of the Chinese people" would be stained; if he gave it, history might be changed...
Compared with the Chinese market benefits brought by software such as Indos or mrosoftoffe, what Carter fears is that history will be changed. After all, Microsoft understands everything. Who can use the genuine version?!
That's not right, Carter suddenly thought. Although users choose by themselves, most of them are pirated or have activation codes that they don't know where they came from. But before the rise of DIY, China's personal PC market was dominated by assembly machine companies!
They must pre-install genuine software. After all, it is large and cannot escape. If you dare to use pirated software, you will be informed...
Thinking about it this way, the profits from this market are not small!
After scratching his hair in embarrassment, Carter asked without answering:
"What do you hope for now? If it is granted commercial authorization, what are you going to do? If it is a research authorization and commercial use is prohibited, what are you going to do?"
"We should continue to study it! This system is indeed very convenient, and the number of PCs we have in China is not large. Even if it is commercially licensed, we don't have many customers now."
Professor Tang's answer was pretty quick. Anyway, I don't have any clients right now, so I can just put it...
It doesn’t matter what your authorization is, as long as I have stuff and research materials, that’s fine!
And as soon as these words came out, Carter was undoubtedly given another blow.
What are the characteristics of the Celestial Dynasty? Besides the infrastructure madman, there is another one: the king of copycats!
