Chapter 110 110. Journey to Crystal Valley (11) DEB Press Conference

Wednesday, October 7, 1998.

In a huge conference hall on the first floor of the DEB building, heads were surging, and a few large characters hung on the curtain on the stage: DEB press conference!

Brown, the new chairman of DEB, sits in the middle of the row of tables on the stage, next to CEO Thomson, and several shareholders, Lei Luo also has a seat on the side.

In the audience, reporters from major newspapers and media in the United States gathered together to witness DEB’s grand press conference. It was a little bit 30-50% head-to-head, guessing the purpose of this DEB press conference, and also guessing about Lei Luo, an Asian Asian. There are some reporters whose faces come from, but the shutter is shining, and they have begun to take pictures, a lively scene.

“Dear friends from the media, I invite you to DEB today to announce a major strategic adjustment of DEB.” Brown drew a majestic sweep of the surrounding area and paused.

The audience immediately became silent.

“Our DEB will enter the personal PC market. In order to implement this strategy resolutely, we have adjusted the company’s management team. Next, I would like to ask our new CEO Thomson of DEB to tell you about the specific situation.” Brown was very satisfied with the media. With the cooperation and attention of friends in the world, there is no time wasted and went straight to the subject.

“Hello everyone, I’m Thomson, let me introduce our strategic adjustments to you.” Thomson took the microphone and began to describe in detail the strategic adjustments of DEB this time.

“First, we will enter the PC market because we believe that everyone will have a PC in the future…”

Thomson spent almost half an hour explaining in detail the goals of DEB, the basis for achieving the goals, and the specific plan.

“Okay, here is the media question session,” Brown glanced at the audience and said solemnly.

“What is the competitiveness of your PC products compared with the combination of Weisoft+Int’s X86 chips? As far as I know, your Inner operating system is a luxury item,” the Wall Street Journal reporter first asked.

“We will use a self-developed beta-architecture chip, and the operating system will use linux, so in terms of performance, it will certainly not be worse than them, but the price will be lower than them,” Thomson said.

“But the ecology of Linux is really bad. There are no Linux drivers for many hardware, not to mention that there are a lot of commonly used software. Linux support is not good. For example, Weisoft Office software does not support Linux.” Huaerjie Daily reporters have worked hard in this area now, and pointed out the problems immediately.

“Please rest assured that all kinds of Linux drivers and common software problems have been solved by another shareholder of DEB, Mr. Lei Luo from China. Please tell us more about it.” Thomson said He turned off the microphone and motioned Lei Luo to speak.

The eyes of the audience couldn’t help but turn to the only Asian young man.

“Hello everyone, I am Lei Luo, you can visit our official website: there is a special section on it, there are a lot of Linux-based software and drivers that can be downloaded, all are free”, Lei Luo smiled and opened the microphone in front of him Switch, said.

When Lei Luo and Brown talked with KCP for the first time, they could only get 10 times leverage. Brown still wanted to fight for 15 times for the sake of safety, but the KCP manager Wood refused to agree.

He directly pointed out one of the big risks, which is the problem of the Linux ecosystem. Now DEB is going to enter the PC market, and the use of the Linux operating system has indeed reduced costs, but Linux has poor support for various hardware drivers, and many application software does not have a Linux version at all. This allows users to buy a Linux PC, how can they use it? Go down?

But this is not difficult for Lei Luo. He went back to the system store, exchanged a large number of drivers and software on Linux, and then hung it on the official website of Moluo, and went to visit Wood for the second time. , And finally won 15 times leverage.

“Really? Actually, I am also a Linux fan, and I am looking forward to DEB’s Linux-based PCs.” After listening to Lei Luo’s explanation, the reporter couldn’t help being excited.

“DEB’s PC is certainly worth looking forward to,” Lei Luo responded politely.

“Will server products be considered equipped with Linux? If so, what about your Inner operating system?” Another reporter continued to ask questions.

“Of course, the Inner operating system is our company’s previous glory, but it is also our current burden. We will lay down the burden, pack lightly, and create a new situation for DEB,” Thomson replied passionately.

On the same day, major US newspapers rushed to report major personnel adjustments of DEB:

“Huaer Street Journal” headline: DEB major personnel adjustment, Brown served as DEB chairman, Thomson as CEO.

“Milan News Today”: DEB has undergone major business strategy adjustments, which will disrupt the personal PC market

…

In the CEO’s office of Wesoft, Bilge was watching the report on DEB in the U.S. Today, and he quickly opened the website and saw a large number of various hardware drivers and software on Linux, and his brows gradually frowned.

It is not terrible for DEB to use Linux. The terrible thing is that the software ecosystem established by Moluo Technology for Linux makes Windows and Linux no longer advantageous. This is a problem and it is very serious.

Billie picked up the phone in the office and made a call…

SUM has a park in Jinggu. In the middle of the park, a large wall clock shaped like a sun is very eye-catching. CEO Schmidt is holding a copy of the “Huaer Street Journal”, stirring the coffee with a spoon while watching the news.

Suddenly, news of DEB’s major personnel adjustments leaped into his eyes and caught his attention, and stopped the small spoon that was stirring the coffee.

“Everyone has a PC” is a cliché, and it’s not worth a look, but DEB’s move about servers caught his attention. They actually want to carry the Linux operating system on the server, and a company called Moluo Technology provides the current Linux software ecosystem.

Schmidt quickly opened it and saw a lot of various hardware drivers and software on Linux. He couldn’t help putting down the small spoon in his hand, standing up, and pacing back and forth in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office…

With the rise of Weisoft, it has continuously eroded SUM’s territory in the low-end server field, and the reason SUM is able to maintain growth is that he is constantly eroding the mid-to-high-end server field occupied by DEB.

And now DEB actually uses servers with free linux, and has such a complete software ecosystem, then it is very competitive in the high-end server market, which is a very big threat to SUM.

What should SUM do? Open source Solar operating system? But what about the software ecosystem? This is a very huge challenge. I don’t know how sacred this Moluo technology is, but it’s so awesome?

Schmidt didn’t return to the desk anymore, letting the hot coffee on the table gradually cool down…
