Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 494
Gabe's words made Carter silent for a while.
Fighting for breath, losing money, and even whether Microsoft will go another fork is hard to say.At that time, it will break away from the original historical track, and the investment in it may not be the same.
Even if he is not very familiar with the computer industry, Carter knows it. Windows did change the kernel later, from DOS to NT, but that was at least after 2000.
Back to the present: In the face of future world-renowned corporate investment like Microsoft, Carter has always been reluctant to intervene in too many decision-making matters.I am afraid that this will make history deviate from the original track.

But young people always have their own temper.

Whether rich or poor, men, or young boys, no one is willing to bow their heads and give in.Especially when Carter thought he had done nothing wrong at all.

But the reality is: don't bow your head, you can!But whether Microsoft will be the Microsoft of the future is hard to say. My own investment, my own 120 million US dollars, will be hundreds of times or a thousand times in [-] or [-] years. The investment may be gone.
No one can tolerate this loss.

Bow your head!Bow to the money!
Carter sighed: It turns out that people who will bend their waists for money never stop beating workers.
"What's the matter? It seems that you are not in a good mood? He seems to be very excited?"

When the Yale Bowl was 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 beside the departure passage, raised his arms.

"It's nothing, I just lamented my childishness. Everyone left?"

"Let's go early! It's up to us, Aikewen Hotel, let's go, let's have dinner"

"Hello, Professor Tang? Yes, it's me. I want to ask, how is your development of the DOS system?"

The DOS system was for sale, but Carter's last stubbornness was unwilling to accept Gates' low offer.

Discounts can be discounted, but that's not because we're afraid of you!

Some Carter, who pays attention to the sense of ceremony, hopes to make another twist on the business of saying goodbye to youth and the green years that can still be happy and enmity.

Attached with the research and development results of Tsinghua University, packaged and sold to Microsoft!
It means that I have also contributed to the update and development of DOS, and paid the cost. Don't you guys have to pay more?Add this money, hey, I won!I didn't bow my head!No price reduction!

After the boy who slayed the dragon returned, he was still a boy.
vomit~
Cursing secretly at himself as a "bad pen", Carter brought his attention back to reality.

"Development. We haven't developed much now, but we have written some more operation commands. Is something wrong? Mr. Black."

Overseas international long distance is a luxury in this era.

After going to work early in the morning, Professor Tang, who didn't even sit on a hot stool under his buttocks, was suddenly called to the telephone room where international calls could be made, and he felt a little bit of a panic.
In this season, who made the call, the target is too easy to guess, there are not many targets in total.Facing Carter, who was like a supervisor, and urged him to ask about the progress, Professor Tang felt a little guilty for no reason.

"There are indeed some changes, Professor Tang. I need to sell the copyright of DOS. I will fax a new authorization agreement tomorrow. When I still own the copyright of DOS. The original school-enterprise cooperation agreement, negotiate and voluntarily stop it !"

Only a few more operation commands?
Carter was a little discouraged, which was not conducive to bargaining.However, until now, Carter didn't care too much.
It's only been a year in total, you can't really expect to go to heaven on the other side of the ocean, can you?
Of course, glider-style take-offs to the sky can be counted on.But the "left foot on the right foot" type of heaven.
"Ah?! This is so sudden! Mr. Black, you... you mean authorization? Is it a commercial authorization?"

"Um"

New question, again silences Carter
Yes, what kind of authorization should I give?

commercial authorization?

At that time, will there still be room for Microsoft in China?History, once again changed by myself
But if it does not give commercial authorization.
Wow, all the authorized words have been said.So what if you don't give commercial authorization?
So long in advance, I got the kernel source code of the Microsoft operating system.Even if it is used for research, it can only be nested in the laboratory and cannot be used commercially.But as long as they have a thorough understanding of the code logic and compilation technology, will it be difficult to come up with a new operating system?

The domestic market may also face the risk of losing Windows!In this era when the windowed operating system has not yet appeared, most software developers are playing with the underlying architecture.For example, DOS, this thing is a system that directly issues instructions to the hardware
The so-called Windows 95, Win 98, etc. in the future, roughly understood: that is a shell on top of DOS.What "button" is clicked by the mouse is actually to issue an instruction to DOS, and then use DOS to manipulate the computing power of the computer to solve it.The thing that really solves the problem and deals with 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. In the face of foreign exchange, even if Tsinghua University is dissatisfied, China will not embarrass itself and its own business.

But this is a gap in the end, it is really hard to say whether it will have any impact in the future
If possible, Carter is unwilling to offend the opponent.

This time, Carter was embarrassed by his childish self again.If you don't give it, the "good friend of the Chinese people" will be stained; if you give it, history may be changed.
Compared with the Chinese market benefits brought by software such as Windows or Microsoft office, what Carter is afraid of is that history will be changed.After all, Microsoft knows everything, so who would use the genuine version? !

Not right, Carter suddenly thought.Although users choose by themselves, most of them are pirated versions, or they don’t know where to get the activation code.But before the rise of DIY, in China's personal PC market, it was the world of assembler companies!

They must pre-install genuine software, after all, they are too big to run away.If you dare to use a pirated version, you will be punished
Thinking about it this way, the benefits of this market are not small!
Scratching his hair in embarrassment, Carter asked without answering:

"What do you want now? What do you plan to do if you grant a commercial license? If it is a research license and commercial use is prohibited, what do you plan to do?"

"We should continue to study it! This system is indeed very convenient, and our current PC ownership in China is not large. Even if it is a commercial license, we don't have any customers now."

Professor Tang's answer was very quick. Anyway, I don't have any clients right now, so I just put it up.
It doesn't matter what authorization you have, as long as there are things and research materials in my possession!

And when these words came out, it undoubtedly gave Carter a blow in the head.

What are the characteristics of the Celestial Dynasty?In addition to the infrastructure madman, there is another one: the king of the cottage!
