Chapter 243 Internal Disagreements at Microsoft

"I slept well, brother, if you are too tired, you should rest first. Sorry to disturb you so early, sorry, I will call in the afternoon."

"Wait, it's okay, let's continue, who is this Kiridale?"

Listening to Paul's earnest but apologetic tone for interrupting his rest, Carter took a deep breath.Confirm that I heard correctly, Microsoft really pushed the operating system work.
But the name Kiridale, could it be that Dell computer? !
"Mr. Killydale? He's the boss of DRI, Gary Killydale. They're the experts in operating systems. Bill introduced them to the IBM guys. Any questions?"

Paul's words are still full of doubts, as well as a bit of innocence.

He could hear the strange annoyance in Carter's tone, and he didn't know where he made Carter, a good brother, angry.Could it be, getting angry?

"I, you. No problem! Well done, don't do it next time!"

Carter held a mouthful of old blood in his chest, almost causing internal injuries to himself.

After all, in Carter's heart, Microsoft has long been in his pocket!

This has nothing to do with holdings, as a top Internet company that has not yet ushered in the outbreak period.Being able to enter the market to buy bottoms at their weakest period, that huge profit.
Think about the previous AMD, it is a mature company that has been listed for many years!That can bring you that incomparably exaggerated wealth, let alone the current Microsoft?

As a result, Ni Temiao told me that you are no longer engaged in your own flagship products? !
After hearing the news, Carter, who only felt that the reality was too magical, took two puffs of cigarettes to soothe his emotions, and then said weakly:
"So, what exactly are you trying to say on the phone?"

"I, I just want to ask, if we want to securely win the order from IBM, what preparations do you think we should make? Oh, yes, we have now expanded in scale and recruited more than [-] new programmers, Already on a certain scale!"

"Is it the order of the basic programming languages?"

"That's right. Do you have any advice for me?"

Carter: .
"There is no suggestion, as long as you are happy!"

After finishing speaking, Carter hung up the phone.The good mood of the day, pa~ gone!

When Carter gets distracted by Microsoft's honeymoon, the girls around him are out of luck.He was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly woken up by a guy who didn't know how to be sympathetic, and then
"Don't sleep! Hurry up and do~job~ah. That's it, continue!"

···

After some cloud and rain, catch up on sleep again.It wasn't until lunch time that Jim saw Carter, who was a little depressed and depressed, appear in the restaurant.

"Yo? I can't stand it anymore? Who said yesterday that I want to fight ten?"

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Jim teased Carter.

"Don't mention it, it has nothing to do with this. I was woken up by an annoying phone call in the early morning, and I have been dreaming until now. Let's go, go to dinner! Where are you going to play in the afternoon?"

"Rent a sailboat, let's go fishing in the afternoon!"

Following Carter towards the dining area, Jim asked curiously as he walked:
"What's the call? There's bad news about the road construction? It won't come out so soon, will it?"

"No, it has nothing to do with this project. It's a friend of mine's company, and something happened."

He picked up a piece of pastry first, and ordered a steak with the hotel chef, Carter said while taking the meal.

"Your friend's company, what are you bothering about? I thought there was something wrong with your project! Go for a walk, finish your meal and start, this has already wasted half a day's rent, and maybe you are slow, and you You have to be entangled by those two people from fdic!"

"Mist grass, it makes sense! Hurry up"

Back in the morning, inside the Microsoft office in Bellevue, Washington.

When Paul hung up the phone, several pairs of eyes looked at him
"Don't look at me, guys! Carter said 'as long as you like it', but I don't think that's an affirmation of us. Instead, I feel like he's paying attention to the OS!"

"I just said, we should make an operating system! We have to take this down. After all, the operating system is a product that directly faces users. Who knows the languages ​​behind us? Who cares?"

As soon as Paul's words fell to the ground, Kai Nisi was the first to slap the table in agreement.

"Calm down, Kay! The operating system is too troublesome to make. We don't have any technical reserves. It's too late to start from scratch! Didn't Mr. Sams make it very clear, they expect to formally approve the project in two months at most .”

Gates patted the excited old baby, shook the chair left and right, and told the most realistic question before everyone:
"When the operating system is built, bugs and the like must be indispensable. The basic structure must be determined, and then a little bit of design and modification. Now we don't even know what chip IBM will choose. How to make an adapted operating system."

"Paul, you said you too. I don't deny that Carter has helped us a lot, and he is also very powerful, but didn't he say it himself? He is a computer layman, and he doesn't understand these things. It's time to negotiate with IBM What, don't we have Mr. Ballmer!"

"Bill, what you said makes sense. But I think you should really think about what Carter means. Didn't Newell's brother go to Carter's for half a month? Do you think that one can do business... almost do it?" If you frighten that naughty Gabe, will his eyesight be bad?"

Paul nodded, as he recognized the objective difficulties that Bill said.But out of trust in Carter, and as someone who just spoke to Carter in person
"What about the operating system?!"

"Why did you push this out?"

"Nice job, don't do it next time."

Recalling the words just now, especially the last sentence of yin and yang.It always made Paul feel that if he gave up the operating system, it would lead to a disastrous result
"Bill, I think we should really think about this issue. Why does Carter pay so much attention to the operating system? We also told him about basics before. I think he doesn't know that the basis of the operating system is programming. language. It’s just software written in a programming language.”

"But Carter attaches too much importance to this software! I have never seen him lose his composure or be surprised."

"User popularity! Only by making operating software can we build our own brand. A brand that is well-known to the public, no matter how good we are doing now, only people in the industry know. To put it bluntly, even if we do the best, it is only for IBM. This kind of giant works and outsources to them.”

Kay Nisi's attitude is very clear, he insisted that the need to do the operating system.

"At that time, as long as there is a company that can do better than us, or offer a lower price than us, we will lose business. But if we have products that directly target ordinary users and cultivate their habits, then we will There is no need to worry about selling our products!"
