Siheyuan starts from the stationmaster

Chris Curry's refusal was expected by Bai Zirui, and Bai Zirui was not surprised by it. He smiled disapprovingly and said, "Really? That's a pity. We have an old saying in China called buying and selling." There is no benevolence! Since I am honored to invite Mr. Curry to drink coffee today, we can freely talk about our views on the personal computer industry."

Chris Curry glanced at Bai Zirui with great interest, and asked, "Mr. Bai, what do you think about the personal computer industry?"

Bai Zirui said eloquently: "In my opinion, computers are becoming the trend of this era, and the trend of popularization is becoming more and more obvious. A new huge industry is rapidly forming, and those companies that can accurately grasp the opportunities will undoubtedly become the trend of this era. Trendsetter of the times!
The BBC Broadcasting Company is broadcasting a documentary called "Powerful Microprocessor", which has produced a huge sensation and introduced to audiences all over the country that a computer age is coming in an all-round way. "

Bai Zirui looked at Chris Curry's calm face, took a sip of the fragrant coffee, and continued: "I am very optimistic about the atom personal computer launched by your Acorn company, which is in line with my expectations for a mass consumer product. Several requirements of the computer, exquisite design, superior cost performance!
It is said that this Acorn atom personal computer was developed under the leadership of Mr. Curry. Mr. Curry has a very accurate grasp of the field of consumer electronics, and this personal computer has the potential to sell well. "

Chris Curry showed a happy smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, thank you very much for your recognition. You are the first person who is optimistic about our development of personal computers besides my R&D team."

In Acorn (Acorn), another partner, Herman Hauser, looked down on the personal computer they developed, and called it an "imitation electronic box", which made him very heartbroken. Chris Ko Li firmly believes that his product is very good.

Chris Curry was not reconciled. The personal computers in Acorn (Acorn) were all connected to the Internet. He felt that bringing this networked model to the market should be popular.It's just that in this way, it doesn't have much appeal to individual consumers. After all, no one will buy several computers to take home.

He mainly targets the school education market. Recently, he led the research and development team to promote their products to schools in John Country. With the advantage of LAN, the sales of Acorn computers have just picked up. .Just when he was high-spirited and ready to show his ambitions, how could he agree to sell the Acorn company to others.

Bai Zirui admired Acorn's atom personal computer, then changed the topic and said: "Mr. Curry, although Acorn's atom personal computer has many advantages, in my opinion, there are also shortcomings. Very obvious, such as software systems.

"The Acorn atom personal computer doesn't even have an operating system, only the BASIC programming language interpreter built into the boot ROM is available, which makes the use of the computer extremely inconvenient."

Maybe you are out of cost-saving considerations. As far as I know, the ZX80 and ZX81 computers launched by Sinclair Company only have black and white image output, but the price is extremely cheap. The ZX81 computer launched last year only costs 49.95 for self-assembled accessories. £69.96 fully assembled, far better than the Acorn atom PC. "

When Chris Curry heard Bai Zirui's words, he couldn't help being slightly surprised. He really didn't know the changes in the market. He had been looking for a way out for Acorn's atom personal computer, and he didn't have time to understand the competition in the market. opponent.

If this is the case, sales of Acorn's atom PC will inevitably be affected, because their products also focus on low prices.The personal computer market is so big, and this computer will definitely enter the school market. The price difference is several times, and the LAN technology will have no advantage in an instant.

While Chris Curry was still thinking, Bai Zirui continued: "Mr. Curry, in my opinion, a good software is more important to a computer than the price factor! Customers buy computers home for use. If it is not practical, even if the price is low, it is just a waste of money.

Except for computer enthusiasts, most users buy personal computers for the purpose of processing some daily text, account files, and playing games.The first two tasks require excellent word processing software and spreadsheet software, while the latter requires some interesting games to pass the time. Does the Acorn atom PC have these functions? "

After seeing Chris Curry listen to his words, Bai Zirui frowned more and more tightly, and the expression on his face became more and more serious, knowing that his words had touched his pain point.

Bai Zirui continued: "According to the information I have collected, Acorn does not seem to have any relevant software development plans, but our Dingtian Company has already taken the lead in this regard. Our software company has successfully developed a , RoyalTek-1 personal computer electronic graphic form office software.

Our company's Xiangjiang headquarters R&D center is developing an operating system compatible with CP/M.As for the development of games, it is even easier with our company's technology. "

After hearing Bai Zirui's words, Chris Curry's attitude changed a lot. He said, "Mr. Bai, I'm very glad to share my views on the personal computer industry with you, and my views have been greatly inspired."

Seeing that his attitude had softened a bit, Bai Zirui said with a smile: "Chris, we are communicating with each other, and my point of view can inspire you. , I am also very happy."

Chris Curry pondered for a moment, then said with a serious face: "Mr. Bai, if Dingtian Company acquires Acorn, how will you arrange the future development of Acorn?"

Bai Zirui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Chris Curry's words. His previous efforts were finally not in vain. Chris Curry's attitude towards the acquisition of Acorn has changed. .

The information Wang Huageng asked the investigation company to collect is indeed reliable. Chris Curry is a man of science and technology, not a cunning businessman.

Bai Zirui told him about the technical application of personal computers, and he could listen to him. If Chris Curry was that kind of old and cunning businessman, what Dai Zirui said would make him feel like he was fooling him. For Bai Zirui, it was better to deal with him, as long as he talked about his interests.

Bai Zirui did not directly reply to Chris Curry's question, but asked: "Chris, as far as I know, within the Acorn company, including your friend Mr. Hermann Hauser, Most of the engineers in the country don't support your Acorn personal computer project?"
