In order to promote the privatization of Columbia Pictures, the summer offered a price of $67.5 per share.

This price is already very kind compared to the stock price of fifty-two dollars at that time.

But unexpectedly, someone offered to buy it at the same time at a price of 70 US dollars, which caused Columbia Pictures' stock to rise sharply.

The price of $67.5 in summer is no longer attractive. If he still wants to complete privatization, he must offer a higher price, such as $85.

But in that case, if he wants to complete privatization, he will have to pay $4.5 billion. That much money is almost enough for him to buy another Universal Pictures.

And once he accepts it, the opponent may raise the price again, and in this way, the matter will not be over. So, summer must not surrender.

"Boss, what do you decide?" Michelle asked Xia Tian.

If the acquisition price is not raised, it will be difficult to buy enough stocks. But once the price is raised, you will fall into the trap of others. At that time, every dollar raised, you will have to pay billions of dollars in summer. This is simply a bottomless pit!

"No hurry, talk to the major shareholder first and buy the stocks in their hands." Xia Tian thought for a while and said, "They should know in their hearts that these people are just disruptors.

If they want to sell their stocks to disruptors, they will be destined to be in vain. Because disruptors don’t have much money at all and cannot swallow the stocks in their hands. So they should sell the stocks to me, at least they can safely take their bags."

When Michelle heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Columbia Pictures, which holds 79% of the shares in summer, is the largest shareholder. In addition, there are some other institutions and individuals who hold large amounts of shares. Although their shares cannot be compared with Xia Tian, ​​they can still play a key role at this critical moment of privatization.

Because of privatization, the consent of 75% of shareholders must be obtained. In addition, the number of oppositions cannot exceed 10%.

Xia Tian holds 79% of the stocks now, and the first condition is already met. But if the opposing shareholders reach 10%, their privatization will still not be completed. Therefore, these small shareholders must pay attention to it. Try to win their consent.

...

Michelle immediately sent someone to talk to these institutions and individuals about stocks.

While waiting for news in summer, the privatization plan is planned to prevent small and medium-sized shareholders from being reluctant to sell their shares, resulting in the severance of the privatization plan.

In August, a major event occurred in the technology industry, shocking the world. That is, Microsoft released the indos95 operating system.

indos95 operating system is a hybrid 16/32-bit operating system that brings a more powerful, more stable and more practical desktop graphics operating system.

In terms of appearance alone, compared to the genius operating system of Tianxia Technology, it is at least better than the genius operating system.

Because the genius operating system pays more attention to practicality, it is not doing well enough in interface optimization.

In fact, adding an interface to the operating system is a very troublesome thing. The background database and the call of the logic layer are just a little bit of a matter.

The most troublesome thing is that the graphic interface needs to be beautiful and exquisite, and the time, energy and money are not less than the work of fashion designers designing clothing, architectural masters designing architecture, etc.

Once the interface is designed improperly, it is easy to create bugs and cause system crashes. Therefore, a lot of debugging work is required. The effort to optimize the kernel and increase functions is more important for a system.

Moreover, interfaceization requires mobilizing a lot of resources and occupying a certain amount of memory and CPU. For computers in the 1990s, hardware resources were already short of limits. If interface optimization is carried out, the performance of some computers would be sacrificed.

Therefore, the genius operating system that focuses on practicality has little investment in interface optimization.

At present, only Tianxia Technology is doing interface optimization for the genius operating system, but to be fair, it is far less good than indos.

Indos95, even in summer, can be considered very beautiful.

In my previous life, many designs of the indos system have appeared in this system, such as the "Start" button, taskbar, custom wallpaper, custom icons, etc. If users like it, they can completely customize their own graphic interface.

In addition, its functions are also very complete, adding functions such as disk defragmentation, CD playback, volume control, phone dialing, disk management and backup.

Moreover, because of the complete implementation of graphical interface, indos95 is very easy to operate. Most operations can be completed by clicking with the mouse. It is extremely easy for beginners to learn computers.

As soon as such a beautiful, easy-to-use and easy-to-operate system was released, it naturally shocked the technological world.

...

Indos95 immediately began to sell well and was welcomed by consumers.

In comparison, the market share of the genius operating system of Tianxia Technology has begun to decline relatively.

To be honest, the performance of the genius operating system is better than that of the indos system.

One reason is that the genius operating system has a small kernel and does not require too much resources to run. From servers to DVD players, it can run smoothly.

In comparison, the indos system occupies a lot of resources. If it is a machine with a slightly lower configuration, it will cause lag when running the indos system.

Secondly, the genius operating system is more stable. All its programs are run independently of the kernel. Even if the program crashes during the running process, it will not affect the kernel operation. Just restart the program.

In comparison, once the program crashes, it is very likely that the system will crash.

In terms of security, the genius operating system does not allow users to access the kernel and control the highest permissions. Just like Android developed based on Linux, if the user wants to obtain the highest permissions, he needs to go through root.

The indos system grants user manager permissions by default, so that he can access almost everything in the system. In this way, the system files are managed without restrictions, and the security is naturally circulated.

These advantages also made the genius operating system widely welcomed after its debut, especially in the industrial field, which has accounted for 40% of the market.
