It had been two days since Su Cheng went to pay homage to his parents, and his mood had returned to calm.
On the morning of May 15, Su Cheng asked the driver to take him to Oracle Computer Company in North Point.
Before, Su Cheng had a conversation with Yang Chaoye about a topic.
Oracle Computer has developed the second-generation Oracle computer, but Su Cheng also discovered a problem, that is, these experts seemed to have become dependent on the technology he provided.
This is not a good start.
Therefore, Su Cheng decided not to continue to provide them with technology as usual.
Because it will destroy their creativity.
This is not what Su Cheng wants to see.
After all, he spent so much salary to recruit these big guys, not just to let them manufacture products based on the technical data he provided. What he wanted to see was the creativity of these big guys themselves. In this way, different products are developed.
It is said that Yang Chaoye went to Haojiang again today, and Su Cheng did not bother him to come over.
Arriving at the park where Oracle Computer Company is located, General Manager Wayne received Sioux City.
After not being here for a long time, Su Cheng found that the park had changed a lot, and he was a little unfamiliar with it.
"Boss, you haven't been here for a long time. Why are you so free today?" Wayne asked curiously as soon as they met.
“It’s just because I haven’t been here for a long time, so I came here when I have time. Isn’t this normal?” Su Cheng said with a smile.
“That’s true, but your answer, boss, is really hard to pronounce.” Wayne couldn’t help but say.
"I heard Mr. Yang say some time ago that the second-generation Oracle computer has been successfully developed, right?" Su Cheng asked.
The two talked as they walked towards the R&D building.
The decoration of the park has a completely new look. It is no longer the old-fashioned industrial style, but has a unique feeling.
Employees on both sides of the road are rushing along in a hurry. When they see Su Cheng, they will stop and shout hello, and then continue their business.
It can be seen that these employees have changed quite a lot, and they already have the appearance of a top large enterprise.
If it were like an ordinary Xiangjiang company, when the big boss comes to visit, he would like to show off at the scene.
"Yes, boss, our second-generation product can be released at any time, but Mr. Yang suggested that we delay the release while there is enough time. We are currently trying to develop the third-generation Oracle computer." Wayne walked away explain.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the R&D building.
Su Cheng followed Wayne's footsteps and came to a busy laboratory.
In this laboratory, Su Cheng saw the company's new generation Oracle computer.
He sat down with great interest and experienced this new product.
The second generation of Oracle computers did not improve much. This was a development strategy that the company had previously determined.
This is also normal. Technology cannot be updated too fast, otherwise how will the funds be collected?
Anyway, it is enough for the company's technology to remain at the leading edge.
Although the progress is not big, it is still much better than the first generation Oracle computer.
Su Cheng even let Xiao Ai experience it secretly. According to Xiao Ai's feedback, the overall performance of this computer has improved by about 50% compared to the previous first-generation Oracle computer.
“Install a current machine for me and I will take it home later.” Su Cheng said directly.
Now that a new generation of computers has come out, the computer at his home will naturally be eliminated.
"Okay boss!" Wayne nodded directly.
Su Cheng then got up and visited the laboratory to see what progress was made in the laboratory.
Wayne has been following Sioux City’s footsteps while explaining to him.
From Wayne's words, Sioux City also learned about the general development direction of the third generation of Oracle computers.
Overall, the basic development direction of hardware has not changed much, which Su Cheng thinks is normal.
After all, it is difficult for these hardware technologies to make breakthrough changes in a short period of time.
Perhaps, in the future, the fifth and sixth generation Oracle computers may begin to undergo hardware changes.
However, Su City still discovered that their research and development on the system had some deviations from the original history.
However, Sioux City did not make any corrections to this.
After all, Su Cheng knows that the original development direction of the WINDOWS operating system is not the only development direction.
He wanted to see what the third generation of Oracle OS would look like after the development direction deviated.
He also wanted to experience a different operating system.
After visiting the laboratory, Su Cheng and Wayne came to the office building and entered the general manager's office.
After Su Cheng sat on the sofa, Wayne poured him a glass of drinking water, and then sat on the sofa opposite Su Cheng.
"I have been in Xiangjiang for a long time. Can Mr. Wayne adapt to life here?" Su Cheng took a sip of water and asked.
"Of course, Xiangjiang is an international metropolis, and I am very adaptable to it." Wayne replied with a smile.
"Come and tell me about the current international status of Oracle computers." Su Cheng continued.
“Good boss, since our sales of Oracle computers exceeded one million units, it has now become the best-selling computer product in the world. However, as our technology begins to be developed and sold to technology companies that have previously signed agreements, , although we earned a large amount of patent royalties for this, these technology companies also relied on their foundation to quickly develop a new generation of computers. Now each of their new generation computers has been released, which is very important to us. Oracle Computer has formed a competitive relationship, so our sales have dropped significantly.
However, because we have begun to occupy most of the new markets, the sales of these technology companies' new products are also very average. , coupled with our reputation, although sales continue to decline, our monthly sales rankings still rank among the top three.
In February, I successfully won the National Turing Award on behalf of Oracle Computer. The glory does not belong to me personally, but to the entire Oracle computer R&D department.
In the same month, our Oracle computer won the German iF Design Award again.
In March, our Oracle computer was successfully named the best technology product of the year in 1978 by the New York Times.
Our leading entertainment functions have allowed computers to successfully develop many new computer users. However, it is difficult to have an explosive number of new users in a short period of time. Because of this, we are currently not suitable. The second generation of Oracle computers is released.
In the four months from January to April this year, our Oracle computer revenue has exceeded HK$7 billion. According to this trend, if new machines are released at the end of the year, our Oracle computer sales this year will be higher than last year substantial growth. ”
Wayne reported to Sioux City in detail about the recent international situation of Oracle computers. (End of this chapter)
