Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 495 History Will Be Changed

Carter forgot which period it was, and jokingly said that he couldn't remember exactly.

But carelessly, Carter remembered.The joke goes like this:

Once a certain awesome item passed through China and was detained by the customs.A week later, the customs released it, saying "routine inspection".Another week later, the rabbit version appeared.
In such a country, with such imitation ability, I was
No, it was last year
Carter wanted to cry but had no tears.

In the hearts of young people, feelings always occupy the majority.Born under the red flag, growing up in the spring breeze, when the motherland is in trouble, it is a hand to help.
Carter is selfish, but not so selfish as to be completely self-centered.

Without affecting his own life and interests, Carter is very happy to give the motherland the most help at this point in time.But now the problem is:
Authorize DOS to Tsinghua University for research, within a short period of time, even within ten years.Until 1992, my own interests were basically not affected, but what if it was 20 or 30 years later? !

At that time, the number of personal PCs in China
Carter is generous, but not to this extent.

It's hard to get over the water. As an adult, you have to be responsible for your past actions when you were young.There is no such thing as refund protection for minors, and there is no regret medicine.I can only find a way to remedy it!
Carter sighed melancholy:

"Professor Tang, how about this, I propose a plan, can you see if it works?"

"Now, I will invest in DOS, let's count technology as a share, and then I will provide a batch of equipment. Just 30 sets of IBM's newly released one, and then invest in technology and equipment at a discount. We both jointly funded the establishment of a software company."

"Now, I don't ask the company for profit. If you want to research, you can continue to research, but in the future, when it is commercialized, or when you develop a new operating system based on DOS, it should be operated by this company Unless, you have completely changed the kernel, completely redesigned the underlying instructions, language, etc., I don’t know much about this.”

"Anyway, you should be able to understand what I mean. That is, as long as it is related to DOS, such as program logic, as long as the coincidence rate does not reach below 215%, then your new software will also be regarded as a derivative version of DOS , must be run by this company. We share the proceeds!"

"How long is this time limit? And, since you are going to sell DOS, will there be any copyright disputes in the future?"

"Don't worry, it won't. I can also speak to the buyer."

Tapping his fingers on the table, Carter suddenly realized a problem.

Perhaps from the moment I arrived and decided to invest in those well-known companies in the future, history will almost certainly change!
Just like the problems caused by DOS, even if I say now that I want to take it back completely.But secretly, can they make a copy?This kind of thing can't be managed by itself.

This also means that no matter what you do now, it will be difficult to change the overall situation.If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for taking the disk with DOS to China
After realizing that there is a high probability that the history of this world will be changed by him, Carter can only follow normal logic to seek some of his own interests
"That's it, Mr. Black. I have another question. You said that you want to cooperate to build a commercial software company, but in terms of profitability. Ah, it's not that we don't want to contribute people and efforts, but how to make a profit? You are a businessman, this."

"It's okay. Your DOS-based research results can be connected with Microsoft Corporation of the United States. Sell the technical results directly to them, just like an outsourced development team, working on a piece basis! One result, one reward."

"I thought about it. The operating cost of this company is not high. It doesn't need too many staff, just a few people are enough to manage the daily administrative affairs. For the technical team, you can also use the master's and doctoral students in the department, basically Just a living allowance. That's the professors."

"Professors, it's okay, it's okay! We all have salaries, not low! Well, in our country, it's not low! As long as we can have research materials, we can do it for nothing!"

Professor Tang patted his chest and promised.

"Hahaha, that's not necessary. Professors, let's give each person 600 yuan per month."

600 yuan, based on the exchange rate that was widening the exchange rate in 82, it was about 200 US dollars.With this amount of money, you can’t even hire a general worker in the United States
Moreover, the company was connected to Microsoft through its own relationship.You can earn in US dollars, and your own fees will definitely be calculated based on American standards.
For myself, it is equivalent to an ultra-low-cost technical team, plus normal price results.For Professor Tang and others, there are research materials to continue to use; for China, this is another foreign exchange earning enterprise!
A foreign exchange-earning enterprise in 82 is as popular as an industry that will be popular in the future.The policy is tilted, and the administrative green light is simply too normal!Carter felt that this matter should not be impossible!

Continue to chat with Professor Tang for a few words, after communicating about the situation.Carter hung up the phone and went about his business
···
···
In the afternoon, Carter received a fax.

Professor Tang faxed the newly developed command set to himself.Looking at the dense command codes on the directory, Carter was stunned for a while at first.
You call this "we just developed a little new command"? !a little? !

"Hey, Paul! Sometime, you bring Gates to Yale, let's talk!"

I am amazed at the efficiency of China. This is a good thing in the final analysis!
The ability of my partner is strong, and for me, it is also
After Carter hung up the phone, he pondered the situation
For the current situation, perhaps purely direct economic benefits are useless.Even if it is sold for 30 US dollars, that is ten times the income, so what?
I don't lack the 30 now, but I want to work on operating software, as well as Microsoft.
Maybe we need to increase our speaking power?

···
···
"What? He called us over? What did he think of him??! Why didn't he come to us!"

"You are enough! Gates! Carter has already given in, don't go too far!"

The long-term differences of opinion have caused some estrangement between the brothers Paul and Gates at this time.With a happy face, he told Gates that Carter took the initiative to establish communication and released good news. Paul did not expect to hear this reply.

For a while, I was a little angry!
"That's right! Bill, in terms of business, Carter actually didn't do anything to be sorry for you. We can only say that he has a good eye and can keenly judge the value of DOS."

After Ballmer heard the movement, he also walked out of the office, persuading:

"From the emotional point of view of those of us, Carter may not have talked about brotherhood in doing this, but there is no problem with his business ethics! Now that he has made concessions, you should also make concessions! Bill, Don't be too impulsive and emotional! In that case, we will have no good results!"
