Chapter 539 Tim Patterson, the predecessor of Windows!
53ws predecessor developer Tim Patterson!
When Yang Ming wanted to enter the gaming industry, he targeted Taidong's talent and sales channels from the beginning.
The boss of Taitung is unwilling to sell Taitung.
In the end, Yang Ming not only bought "Space Invaders", but also poached Tomohiro Nisikado.
Today, in Yang Ming's view, Tim Patterson is the Tomohiro Nisikado of his operating system, and the Windows system is his "Space Invaders" that entered the computer operating system.
There are similarities between the two, but also some differences.
Yang Ming had to compete with Bill Guy for time.
Especially before Microsoft won an order for the IBM operating system.
Even if Microsoft and IBM sign that operating system order, Yang Ming will still have a way to occupy the global operating system market.
Tim Patterson is in Seattle.
Yang Ming is in Silicon Valley.
Bill Gates in Redmond, near Seattle.
IBM is in Armonk, New York.
From this map of Country M, Yang Ming could see it very clearly.
Compared with Bill Gates, Yang Ming's advantage is still obvious.
The soul comes from the future.
He has sufficient funds and knows the future development of the market.
. . .
Yang Ming came out of the study again.
Having afternoon tea with He Chaoluo at the manor.
The temperature here during the day is also over 10 degrees Celsius. Because there is sunshine, it is still a bit warm if there is no wind.
If there is no sun blowing the wind, I'm afraid it will be colder.
He Chaoluo could see that Sir Yang was quite busy.
Just now she saw Mr. Yuan and the two white men coming to see Sir Yang in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.
. . .
late at night.
Yang Ming is in the study.
Lin Dezhong came over and said, "Boss, Mr. Langdon said he brought someone here."
Mr. Langdon brought someone here?
Tim Patterson?
Yang Ming stood up and went outside.
In addition to seeing Langdon, he also saw a somewhat thin young man.
This is 24-year-old Tim Patterson.
Historically, he is famous for developing the predecessor of the Windows operating system.
In the afternoon, Langdon flew to Seattle International Airport without stopping.
After coming out of Seattle International Airport, take a bus to the Seattle company immediately.
At that time, when Seattle Computer Products Company was off work, he spent almost half an hour there to find Tim Patterson.
At first, when he saw Tim, he couldn't believe that this was actually the person Sir Yang was looking for.
Tim Patterson's identity information, including his graduation from the University of Washington, name, age, etc., all match the characteristics.
Tim didn't know Landon.
"Mr. Langdon, I don't know you."
"Mr. Patterson, I am the director of the human resources department of Silicon Valley Future Capital. I came to you in person at the request of my boss."
Silicon Valley Future Capital?
At this time, this venture capital company had just been established, and of course Tim had never heard of it.
Tim Patterson became interested when he heard that the owner of Silicon Valley Future Investment Company was the company run by Sir Yang, the chairman of Empire Group.
He is an employee of a Seattle computer company. In this era, the salary of programmers is very low. Tim does not have much salary at all.
Historically, he developed the DOS operating system and sold it to Microsoft for US$25,000. Microsoft later bought the ownership for an additional US$50,000.
Langdon promised that when Tim Patterson left Seattle Computer Company and joined the new company founded by his boss Sir Yang, and would receive a higher salary, Tim Patterson followed Langdon and left without hesitation.
One is Sir Yang. He has heard about it and knows that Sir Yang is now the richest man in Hong Kong and very rich.
As for why Sir Yang came to Silicon Valley to invest, he didn't know.
After Tim Patterson immediately went back to find his supervisor to resign, he didn't even want this month's salary and followed Langdon directly out of Seattle and took a plane to San Francisco.
Then take a flight from San Francisco to Conner Manor in Silicon Valley.
Langdon's trip to San Francisco International Airport took more than an hour.
The flight to Seattle took two hours.
It took half an hour to find and convince Tim from Seattle.
The flight from Seattle back to San Francisco International Airport took two hours.
It took more than an hour to drive from San Francisco International Airport to Conner Manor in Silicon Valley.
It took almost more than eight hours.
In other words, it was already late at night from the afternoon until now.
It could be seen that Langdon had also been busy all day.
To say that many white people are lazy.
Yang Ming feels that people like Merliss and Ma Shimin are very responsible.
Langdon was recommended by Yuan Tianfan. Langdon has good abilities and is very reliable in his work.
"Langdon, thank you for your hard work."
"Sir Young, I should."
Langdon said hurriedly.
"Your name is Tim Patterson?"
See this lean young white man?
"Yes, Sir Yang."
"Let's go to the study and chat."
Yang Ming, Tim Patterson, and Langdon went to the study.
Lin Dezhong asked someone to bring coffee.
The three of them sat down and chatted in the study.
The temperature outside is still below 8 degrees Celsius, which is a bit cold, but it is still very comfortable with the heating in the room.
"Mr. Patterson, I have some questions for you."
Yang Ming wanted to test the other party.
Yang Ming was a computer expert in his previous life and was a programmer himself, similar to Tim Patterson now. Later he was an important member of the hacker organization.
Yang Ming chatted with Tim Patterson about some programming issues there.
At this time, Tim Patterson was really surprised.
He originally thought that Sir Yang was a rich man, but he never expected that Sir Yang would actually know this.
Langdon on the side was also shocked.
Langdon is a top student in the Department of Economics. He knows nothing about many computers. From the exchange between Sir Yang and Tim Patterson, it can be seen that Sir Yang is as knowledgeable about computers as Tim Patterson.
"Sir Yang, you are really a computer genius." Tim Patterson praised.
What Yang Ming just talked about was the future Windows operating system.
The current computer operating systems around the world are really inconvenient. They are opened through disks and the classification is not clear. They are different from the operating systems that will be installed directly on the computer in the future.
Why do many people find it inconvenient to use many computers nowadays, whether for work or other purposes?
One is that the Windows operating system has not yet appeared.
Secondly, there is the fact that the Internet has not really emerged yet.
This has led many people to think that today's computers are just big and useless.
"There are specialties in the arts, but I actually don't know much about them."
Yang Ming now knows that he no longer needs to know too much about these things, he just needs to let others do things for him.
From the previous exchange with Tim Patterson, Yang Ming could see this person's ability and confirmed his talent in computers.
