Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Joseph suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I would like to ask, are you thirty years old this year?"

Lin Kaifeng nodded and said, "No more, no less, exactly thirty years old."

"Hahaha, thirty years old versus thirty years old, computer genius versus computer genius, interesting, very interesting."

After laughing, Joseph looked at Bai Ru.

"Beautiful lady, please book some tickets for us. Mr. Lin won't blame me for acting on my own, right?"

"of course not."

Lin Kaifeng shrugged his shoulders and told Bai Ru to book a flight to Juruan Company tomorrow.

Under the stirring of Lin Kaifeng, the butterfly, many historical events are gradually changing.

A large number of international situations are different from past history, and many stories in the business field are also undergoing such changes.

According to the original space-time history.

Three years ago, in 1983, William's close partner and co-founder Paul chose to leave BigSoft and start his own company due to health reasons.

Only retains 15% of the shares in BigSoft.

In that time and space, Paul did not leave BigSoft and was still one of the two persons in charge of BigSoft.

Like other companies, Microsoft was also hit by the financial crisis, and the depreciation of the US dollar affected all US companies.

BigSoft is no exception.

If possible, Lin Kaifeng wouldn't mind spending a little more money to acquire BigSoft along with their patents and technical experts.

However, this possibility is absolutely impossible.

The Round Office can allow Lin Kaifeng to acquire some insignificant companies, such as Marvel, but will never give Lin Kaifeng any opportunity to monopolize important US technology companies.

At this stage, no one could foresee that Marvel would become a cultural symbol of the United States.

No one knew that Marvel's superhero universe would become a goose that lays golden eggs.

What is really important in the eyes of the US top leaders is the field of science and technology, one technological patent after another.

Coincidentally, Microsoft is one of the technology companies that the United States pays close attention to.

Lin Kaifeng can be allowed to invest in Juruan Company, but he will not be allowed to become the company's largest shareholder.

It is even more impossible for Lin Kaifeng to swallow up GiantSoft in one go.

It is impossible for any non-American company to do this.

Lin Kaifeng can't do it, and neither can Western companies.

Even though it is not possible, it does not mean that Lin Kaifeng really has no way to control the BigSoft company.

The next day at noon, Bai Ru, Lin Kaifeng, Joseph and others boarded a plane.

“Paul, if Lin Kaifeng proposes the idea of ​​investing in the company while we are doing business together, I hope we can be united and stop his idea.”

William and other senior executives who had received the news in advance were already waiting in front of the company's gate.

In another ten minutes, Lin Kaifeng and his team's convoy will arrive here.

Hearing this, Paul, the co-founder who was suffering from a serious illness, said weakly: "I understand your thoughts. BigSoft is our hard work. You don't want others to have contact with our children, but we also have to face the reality of the problem."

"The company does lack a lot of funds at the moment."

Hearing this answer, William remained silent.

William doesn't want anyone to touch BigSoft, which is his hard work.

In the future, it will become an influential technology group in the United States

A series of appropriate official measures almost caused the US dollar to collapse.

The continuous depreciation of currency has caused the market value of major software companies to continue to shrink.

High technology is not only the mainstream of future development, but also a money-burning industry.

Any high-tech research and development requires a huge amount of capital investment.

The funds available at BigSoft were no longer enough to support the development of other software that William envisioned.

After an unknown amount of time, several cars appeared in front of everyone.

The car door opened, and Lin Kaifeng, Joseph and others got out.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Joseph, welcome."

William calmed down, took the initiative to greet the two, and shook hands with them.

Because of Paul's physical condition, he looked extremely thin and his walking speed was not much faster than that of an old man.

He greeted several people in a listless manner.

Then, William and Paul, as hosts, led Lin Kaifeng and his party to visit various departments of the company.

An hour later, everyone came to the conference room and sat down.

The secretaries brought coffee and drinks.

"The Longguang computer developed by Northern Machinery Group has excellent performance and is already capable of becoming a world-class computer."

William calmly praised the achievements of Northern Machinery Group in the fields of computer hardware and software.

He asked Lin Kaifeng indirectly how he planned to cooperate with Juruan Company.

Juruan's strength lies in computer software, and its hardware R&D capabilities are only average.

Northern Machinery Group was the first to launch a computer desktop operating system, and GiantSoft followed suit immediately.

The Windows system was subsequently launched.

Compared with the former, the Windows system of Microsoft Corporation seems quite immature.

If he can get technical support in this area, William is confident that he can complete the development of the second-generation operating system as soon as possible.

As for performance, it is definitely ten times better than the first generation.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "As far as I know, your company is very good at research and development of system operating platforms, and is currently researching computer office auxiliary software. We can cooperate in this regard."

"Our group is also developing office software. Our cooperation is like a powerful alliance. One day, we will be able to monopolize the industry and make our office software a must-have software for future computers."

Apart from Northern Machinery Group and China Giant Software Corporation, few other companies attach great importance to computer software.

What is considered valuable is computer hardware.

Software is just one of the auxiliary tools of computers. It has a limited market share and the economic profits it can obtain are also limited.

It was not until the last one or two years that some companies began to pay attention to system software.

More or less affected by the Northern Machinery Group.

William said with a smile: "Mr. Lin and I can see that software systems are just as profitable as computer hardware. Both you and I have strong R&D capabilities and technical experience in this field. If we join forces, we will surely become the biggest overlord in the field of office software systems."

William had just finished speaking when Paul, who was in low spirits, suddenly said, "Mr. Lin, in addition to our cooperation in operating systems and office software, what other areas do you plan to cooperate with us in?"

Knowing the hidden meaning in Paul's words, Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Paul, Mr. William, I heard that your company was affected to a certain extent in the recent currency devaluation crisis. If you are willing, Northern Machinery Group can take out a sum of money in exchange for a certain number of shares in your company and invest in Jusoft in this way."
