Chapter 117: Joe's opponent

The software industry has been disturbed, and the balance of the personal computer industry has been broken. The first generation of personal computers of Wang An Company finally appeared.
In terms of hardware use, Wang An Computer is also quite conservative, basically comparable to Apple's second-generation machine.
You must say that this is a larger word processor, their design is indeed lacking.
But big factories are big factories, and their computers are also very popular in the market. The personal computer market ushered in the era of melee for the first time.
White Software's drastic price cuts have prompted computer manufacturers to increase publicity. Many users who wait and see are no longer waiting.
The uselessness of microcomputers was once again teased, which made some old guys very embarrassed.
Useful and useless experts say nothing, this is what consumers should decide, why should brick houses be more representative, or give young people more opportunities.
As the first giant stepping into personal PC, Wang An Computer naturally realized the vastness of the market, and the unit price of PC is also much higher than that of word processor.
Such a good start naturally led to the dissatisfaction of Qiao Dashen.
"William, you must be faster. Our Lisa project can't wait."
William White didn't care, listening to God Qiao's slightly complaining tone.
"Old Joe, our beta version is in place. Your problem is the production link. My software can't sell only one. You have also seen that our competitors are also very powerful." William White does not eat his set. Just dump the pot.
"Okay, okay, don't forget your promise."
"Um, rest assured, I am very trustworthy."
Regarding the request of God Qiao, William White was unable to talk about it. How about how to provide the software of the Apple system for three months? Your Lisa project is so rubbish, it is definitely something that is unable to return to the sky.
God Qiao doesn’t know yet, his biggest opponent is not Wang An, the blue giant Gabriel Gates is the key. Wang An’s system, like Apple, is exclusive, and definitely cannot beat a group of young blue giants. .
God didn't take Bill Gates in his eyes. He also helped Bill's business and even encouraged Microsoft to work on office software.
Bill Gates is really a headache right now, saying that if you don't want to be tempted, it's just bullshit. It's just that he is not so impulsive. William White is not so good to deal with.
"Boss, Microsoft has received an order from the Big Blue. Although the news is very secret, we still learned."
Although William White was disappointed with this result, he did not care much. "Well, Tom, check their plans. Microsoft can't make it out of thin air. They bought that one, or what kind of authorization did they get."
"Okay, boss, I'll check it immediately." There was no very unhappy tone when he saw the boss, he finally let go of his heart.
"Is MSDOS about to debut? Why are you still looking forward to it? Haha!"
In a sense, this is actually insider trading. What system does Bill Gates have? MSDOS is nothing but the garbage he bought. After a slight change, it is sold.
Regardless of when IBMPC appears, White Software will launch the supporting software for the first time. Now these things are just a little bit of trouble. If they fall behind in the next wave, there will be no White software in this world.
God Qiao encountered a challenge, as did William White, not only in the software field but also in arcades.
Motorola's 68000 series, in fact, there is a derivative, take the 65 series derived from the 68 series, a very sad reminder is that this thing does not belong to Motorola.
Similar to the reason for the birth of AMD, due to different concepts, the core personnel have taken a different approach.
This MOC company is also a wonderful flower. The 6502 series of CPUs are almost open source. It seems that any factory can produce them. The cost required is close to zero.
Now that you want to monopolize is a dream. Apple's first and second generation use this CPU, and Atari's 2600 also uses this chipset.
In William White's view, the potential of 6800 is undoubtedly greater. If a breakthrough can be made in low power consumption, the potential of this chip is absolutely huge.
"Boss, Mr. Philson is here."
"Well, let him go to the meeting room, we have a meeting."
"Okay, boss."
Obtaining Motorola’s authorization is not difficult, and the overall acquisition of the chip department is more difficult, but William White is not reconciled and decided to give it a try.
"Philson, what does Motorola say?"
"Boss, there is no problem with production authorization. Their production capacity and yield are not good. They are also looking for third-party factories."
"Alas, there won't be anything in the short term, but it won't work in the long term. Can the few guys who went to the MOC pack and dig back?"
Philson considered for a moment and said: "If there are enough interests, I believe they will not refuse."
"Okay, go ahead and do this, and tell Footman Semiconductor, we need a collaborator."
To a certain extent, William White is also a cocoon. Motorola had no idea about the chip department, but it is different with the legendary arcade. This department is obviously very profitable.
His TV game console does not want to use 6502 anymore. Although this thing is very good, but the threshold is too low, Atari developed on this basis, it is easy to form a threat to him.
It is not appropriate to directly take 6800. There is indeed a huge waste. The frequency of the red and white machine is less than 2 Hz. Why should he be too high?
The only problem is bandwidth, but the red and white machine has had a technical failure, mainly due to insufficient bandwidth, which is the inherent shortage of 8-bit processors.
Since those geniuses can make 8-bit processors on the basis of 68000, then 16-bit will not be difficult. If this thing is done, it will definitely hang Intel 8080.
In fact, Motorola is also hesitating. In their view, although there is still potential for 68000, the profit rate is so. This thing has dropped from 320 US dollars to dozens of US dollars. According to the current form, it may fall to 50 US dollars.
William White had no time to struggle, and the departments began to move quickly.
In this way, Motorola obviously can't sit still, and people don't want 6800, which is obviously a chip for TV game consoles.
It is not difficult for them to reach the above conclusion. What they need is design authorization, which is directly intended to be modified on the basis of 68000. It is too simple to draw this conclusion. Why are their CPUs desperately falling prices? Has the lawsuit been entangled for a long time?
William White is reasonable, and willing to spend money to buy, MOC may not be so particular.
Should we cooperate?
"What? Peel off the chip division cooperation?"
"Yes, boss, they don't want to sell as a whole, but they can cooperate."
"Well, this is negotiable. I need at least 30% of the shares. The production base will be in the foot basin, so there will be a foot basin investor."
"Okay, boss, we will negotiate immediately."
