Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

v1 Chapter 264: Microsoft is restless

President Du thought that Boss Wang was joking.

After all, it is the peak summer sales season, and both PC sellers and ordinary computer hardware vendors are purchasing mechanical hard drives in large quantities.

Xia Guo's consumption level is getting higher and higher, and the people's demand for spiritual enjoyment is also increasing.

Whether it is an international manufacturer or a domestic industry practitioner, it is judged that the next ten years will be an explosive peak period for the PC industry in Xiaguo.

The same is true of strength.

This is only the first week of July, and the sales of various types of PCs in the country have exceeded the level of half a month in July last year, which is very clear.

And because the price of mechanical hard drives has skyrocketed during this period, many sellers are rushing to buy goods everywhere.

At this critical time, when hard drives were in short supply, some people actually wanted to return them!

Mr. Du said: "Mr. Wang, you have put a deposit with us! There are many businesses that want hard disks now, but for the sake of our relationship for so many years, this has left you a lot of money. If you return it now, My deposit will not be refunded."

Boss Wang paid a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan at Mr. Du.

Boss Wang thought about it for a moment. At this time, returning the mechanical hard drive will definitely lose tens of thousands. According to the rules in the industry, the deposit will definitely not be refunded.

But now the price of mechanical hard drives is high, and carbon crystal hard drives are already available.

Now, after receiving a high-level mechanical hard drive, after getting it, there will be a situation where consumers wanted to buy a carbon crystal hard drive instead of a mechanical hard drive some time ago. At that time, the loss was not just tens of thousands of dollars.

After realizing this, Boss Wang said decisively: "Mr. Du, although we have been friends for many years, we still have to act according to the rules. Since I have already paid the deposit and now I want the goods, I should deduct it as long as it should."

Boss Wang said, "Mr. Du, I still have something to do here. I'll hang up first."

President Du wanted to persuade a few more words, but he didn't expect Boss Wang to be so decisive and hung up the phone.

Boss Wang returned the mechanical hard drive, and President Du was not in a hurry, because some time ago, whether it was Zhongguancun in Yanjing or Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen, many people asked themselves for goods.

Just distribute Mr. Wang's goods to others.

But after Mr. Du made several calls, he found that something was not quite right.

Several merchants who originally planned to buy a large number of mechanical hard drives from Mr. Du now do not want them.

This time, Mr. Du was really anxious, he quickly asked a few friends in his industry, and then he got a key piece of news.

I don't know which pirated system vendor developed Microsoft's win98 system in depth, and the current system can fully support carbon crystal hard drives.

Shenchuan's T1 series continues to sell well, and many hardware vendors hurry up to stock up on carbon crystal hard drives, preparing to make a fortune during the summer vacation.

The price of mechanical hard drives began to plummet. The price of an 80G mechanical hard drive that was originally restored to 1200 plunged directly to 800.

Even so, many users are still willing to spend almost the same price to buy carbon crystal hard drives.

This time, Mr. Du was anxious.

After all, the price increase of mechanical hard drives is something that the company decides, and their purchase price is also expensive.

He is only one of the agents in the Seagate Xiaguo market. He hurriedly contacted the United States with other agents and strongly urged the manufacturer to bear the price risk this time.

Seagate, Western Digital, Maxtor and other manufacturers were stunned.

The sales of their products exported to Xiaguo plummeted during the summer vacation sales boom!

what is the reason?

Because the installation of the deeply optimized WIN98 system is something that computer dealers do secretly, it is impossible to publicize it with great fanfare, and the hard disk manufacturers in the United States do not know about it at all.

Finally, Seagate learned through its own channels that the price of Xiaguo mechanical hard drives plummeted because users prefer carbon crystal hard drives at the same price.

Wasn't the carbon crystal hard drive banned by Microsoft using technical means?

Finally, Seagate and other hard disk vendors learned that a deeply optimized WIN98 system appeared in Xia Guo, which made Microsoft's ban useless.

This can surprise these hard disk manufacturers.

They quickly told Microsoft about it, hoping that Microsoft would find a way.

United States, Washington, Monterrey.

Microsoft's technical department was the first to get news from Seagate and other hard disk manufacturers, and the first reaction was not to believe it!

This time, Microsoft's update to the WIN98 system is to reshape some of the underlying code, completely changing the logical way of identifying hard drives, and this update includes both genuine and pirated systems, which can be described as an indiscriminate blow.

Microsoft firmly believes that it has the most advanced technical talents in the world in its hands, and that the ban on carbon crystal hard drives this time is foolproof.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

Microsoft's technical department is also prepared. This ban will definitely not be for a lifetime, and one day there will be technical means to break it.

But in the minds of Microsoft technicians, "there will be a day" is definitely not a week after Microsoft upgraded the system, at least a year or two later.

After a year or two, the entire market has long forgotten about carbon crystal hard drives, and no business will take the risk of using carbon crystal hard drives.

And even after a year or two, a technician can let the carbon crystal hard drive escape Microsoft's block, and Microsoft's technicians are confident that they can plug the loophole as soon as possible.

However, in just one week, someone lifted the ban on carbon crystal hard drives, and Microsoft's technical department was the first to not believe it.

But the stakes are very important, and Microsoft's technical department still reports the matter to the top.

At this time, the US Computer Association and the Semiconductor Association also got the news, and quickly called Microsoft to inquire about the situation.

Microsoft is one of the first American companies to enter the Xia Kingdom, so it still has a wide range of contacts in the Xia Kingdom.

Microsoft headquarters continued to the relevant personnel of Xia Guo Headquarters, and asked Xia Guo Headquarters to investigate.

A day later, the website link of the deep optimization system was sent to the Microsoft technical department.

Microsoft's technical department clicked into the website and saw the content of the website, and they knew that they had encountered a master.

There are many ways to optimize and deal with the WIN98 system in the extreme system, and even Microsoft technicians have no better way than this.

The entire Microsoft technology department was silent.

They downloaded the deeply optimized WIN98 and tried it out.

The whole system is very smooth in the process of use, especially the use of browsers and players. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com makes Microsoft's technical staff amazing.

It is beyond Microsoft's imagination that a third-party company, a pirate company, can have such a deep understanding of the system and can optimize the system to such a good level.

The most important thing is that the other party has also set up a system maintenance center to maintain the windows98 system in the name of a third party. Microsoft is really dumbfounded.

Everyone remembered one thing at this time while experiencing the pirated Windows98 system.

Is the system capable of supporting carbon crystal hard drives?

Microsoft's technical staff are not only eating and not working. They know that the carbon crystal hard disk can run when they see this optimization level and the completely castrated system update content.

At present, Microsoft has a carbon crystal hard drive in their hands. After they installed the carbon crystal hard drive, they ran a deeply optimized version of the windows98 system.

The result was as expected.

This time, the entire Microsoft technology department contributed a full 20 points of influence.
