Reborn American Tycoon
Page 135
"Markula, this second-generation machine, seriously affects our follow-up products. If the sale cannot be stopped, the third-generation machine and the Lisa project will be affected."
"Old Joe, don't be like this. You need to control your emotions. This resolution is also a helpless move. Shareholders need this sales performance. We cannot guarantee that the third-generation machine will replace the second-generation machine."
"Damn it, I shouldn't have listened to William White in the first place. That little change was unnecessary."
Seeing God Joe who started to bite people indiscriminately, Markkula was also very speechless. It was too much to say that William White's idea back then was worth a thousand dollars, but it was undeniable that it was worth a million dollars.It's fine if you're not grateful, but you still complain.
Markkula knew that White Systems had parted ways with them since they rejected the open system proposal.The current state is already due to the restraint of both parties.
Markkula also has to admit that IBM does have the possibility of surpassing them in an all-round way.In fact, without the Apple II, they would have dropped to third.
Now it's not an IBM, a group of guys under the banner of compatible machines are constantly attacking the city.If you discontinue your most popular product at this time, pigs will probably laugh.
I really don't understand, since the guy next to me became a billionaire, how could he become so indifferent?
Isn't your family just a down and out scholar?Why are you pretending to be Wenqing?You go to see William White, he is still the same as a few years ago, he is still a businessman who cares about every penny.
From this moment on, Apple has entered an eventful period.However, Master Qiao is Apple's business card, one of their signs.
In other words, Master Qiao is really capable. After visiting Xerox, the graphics processing system has been spinning in his mind.In his opinion, these current computers are all rubbish, as long as he develops a graphics processing system, he will definitely sweep the world.
It has to be said that a great master is a great master, and his sensitivity to new technologies can be called terrifying.Xerox's graphics processing system has been working for many years, and no one cares too much.
This is what William White can't understand. Bell Labs and Xerox Labs are not isolated cases. Many things they research are awesome, but it's a pity that the inventors didn't get much benefit.
Even now, they are still like this, William White doesn't understand, why can't you go out and have a look?Needless to say, those adapter cards of William White are also making a lot of money, why can't you think about it.
Well, I can only say that William White is too superficial. The people who invented the mouse and the Internet all gave up these patents, just like Karl Benz gave up the automobile patents. What they thought was how to benefit all mankind.
Obviously, William White doesn't care whether all mankind is happy or not, what he considers is how to maximize the benefits.As for those great people, to be honest, William White is very admired.As for whether to study or not, that's all there is to it.
Holding this disobedient mouse in his hand, William White couldn't help but feel pain. The sensitivity of this thing is too ridiculous, how can it be unresponsive?
Looking at the latest Lisa computer on the table, the feeling of powerlessness surged immediately.Are you really targeting minicomputers?
As a representative of the counterculture, God Joe's mission is to tear up the monopoly of Big Blue, and the rules that IBM follows will be broken when he comes to him.
Yes, IBM deliberately delayed the PC with 32-bit processors.
As for the reasons, there are actually many reasons, such as the price, such as the actual needs of users, but when it comes to Master Qiao, the blue giant becomes very evil.
In fact, a 6700 is enough for a Lisa computer, and the price will not be too expensive, at least, it will not cost $[-].
Looking at the nearly $[-] computer on the table, William White completely gave up on Apple.It is estimated that it is still the same as in the previous life. The bitten apple will eventually become a poisonous apple. I believe that within a few years, he can easily buy this company.
Well, let Master Qiao come over to work at that time.If this guy is disobedient, buddies will deduct his salary.
William White didn't hold many stocks, and the market's reaction was very flat, without any big ups and downs.Of course, Master Qiao hated this bastard.
This paranoid guy only has simple right and wrong in his mind.William White's behavior, in his opinion, is the same as a traitor, and it is completely deliberate not to give him face.
Although William White didn't think about it that way, the arrogant Master Joe couldn't bear it.Ever since, the relationship between the two began to take a turn for the worse.
"Tom, don't worry about Old Joe. This is just a business. You can just announce it to the public. Due to the excessive consumption of the database, the company was forced to slow down the research and development progress. Don't worry about other doubts."
"Okay, boss, there's a Macintosh behind them, what about that?"
"Well, let's see what they mean. If you need help, we can support it. If you don't, then feel free."
William White knew that the Macintosh was an epoch-making product, but it was a pity that this thing was only a semi-finished product.
Whenever human beings in future generations use computers, they should actually thank God Qiao.Macintosh can be regarded as the grandfather of personal PCs. As for those 286s, there is really nothing to say.
But, can't you post it later?
This congenitally deficient guy is really a flash in the pan.In the end, the Lisa computer could only be changed.
The world's first real graphics operating system, such a milestone computer, has become useless garbage.
Chapter 280 Bill on his way to the pinnacle of life
Master Qiao is arrogant, in his eyes there are only two kinds of people, one is stupid and the other is smart.William White, though clever, was too cunning to be considered a bad guy.
Bill Gates is not bad, much better than William White.Ever since, Master Qiao started to make mistakes.
"What did you say? Microsoft helped them develop software?" Tom was very surprised. The boss didn't seem unhappy, but his expression was a little weird.
"Okay, I get it, whatever they want, just don't procrastinate on the office suit, nothing else matters."
After driving away Tom Cat, William White couldn't help feeling Bill Gates' good luck.If nothing else, the idea of the windowing system was born here.
When it comes to luck, William White has no way not to believe it. He can even encounter such things as time travel and rebirth. Of course, the theory of luck is also reasonable.
Historical experience has proved that a reborn person cannot be the child of luck, and Wang Mang proved this statement with his own head.Therefore, William White is not prepared to start a fight with Bill, besides, he has Microsoft shares.
In fact, when Joe was showing off his system, Bill Gates didn't listen to a word.If he didn't still have a little sanity, he would like to sit down and write code now.
From his point of view, Master Qiao is simply throwing everything at the bottom. That Laoshizi's computer company should just be shut down. If this software is finished, it will still sell computers.
Developing an office suite?
Hmph, I'll kill you, you can't be in conflict with the White system now, if you make that guy anxious, you will have another opponent.
He actually doesn't care what Apple's system is like, it's a closed system at all, no matter how well you do it, there is no threat.
I have to say that Bill's luck is really good. Because he supports the software of compatible computers, IBM is actually very upset. If it weren't for the damn anti-monopoly, Bill Gates would have been out of the game long ago.
Even so, their relationship with IBM is no longer harmonious. The generation of 286 may have nothing, and the cooperation of the next generation may be in trouble.
It's different now. If IBM comes up with a graphical interface, no matter how upset IBM is, it will have to pinch its nose and admit it.Can make this situation happen, do you dare to say that this guy is not a child of luck?
You know, when they first cooperated with IBM, William White had a black hand.However, it did not delay this product from making money in the slightest.The first time the compatible machine appeared, this guy supported it without hesitation. You know, you are the younger brother of IBM.
At that time, there were many voices of opposition within the company. It can be said that this was the result of Bill Gates' willful behavior.
How is it now?
The number of compatible machines is far more than that of IBM PC, and the dollars they spent on this operating system have already been paid back.If it is not for this reason, it is now qualified to challenge IBM.
Of course William White knew that Bill Gates would attack office software sooner or later, and at that time, I am afraid he would do it again.
In fact, White System has already begun to transform, and the focus of the company's development has long been the database.If it really doesn't work, the software can be exchanged for shares, and William White will not suffer anyway.
In fact, as long as win95 is not released, Bill Gates will still be a persimmon, but now there are still many opportunities, as long as you have enough patience, there will always be a way to trick him once.
Bullying Bill Gates may be a problem, but bullying Larry Ellison is no pressure. This guy is a bit of a late bloomer. Now this time is almost the time when he closes his business.
Hehe, without William White's interference, he barely climbed ashore. Now with the White system, listing for sale is the only option.
"Filson, there is no problem with this price. It's just that Larry Ellison is capable and must sign an embargo agreement. Otherwise, it doesn't matter whether Oracle buys it or not."
"Okay, they can't hold on anymore, as long as he doesn't want to sleep on the street, he will definitely agree to our conditions."
"Well, then you go to work."
Larry Ellison didn't understand what exactly the White system saw in Oracle.To be honest, the company is not worth so much money, [-] million US dollars is completely a lion's mouth.However, the other party actually agreed, and only proposed a strict prohibition agreement.
Such an agreement is actually very normal, what if you pull a lot of people out?Didn't dude buy a shell company?
However, this agreement is too ridiculous. If he decides to sign the contract, he will leave the industry forever. If he doesn't sign it, yes, do he have a choice?
No, this is the best choice. With this money, he is still a rich man.
Larry Ellison's childhood was quite difficult. To put it bluntly, he was a poor ghost, and it was the kind of poor ghost that lasted for several generations.In any case, he would never go to that slum again.
That's it, under the agitation of William White, the pattern of the IT industry has changed beyond recognition, and then, he has no historical experience to learn from.
Unknowingly, the pattern of William White has changed.In fact, since he started laying out the foot basin, he has been the same as those consortiums.
The only difference may be the industry, the consortium doesn't care so much, what they play is cross-border.As long as there is an enterprise with a monopoly position in the industry, they always want to control it.
This is how the conflict between William White and Citigroup came about. Comics, games, and media, although these things are not important industries, but your industry status is different, but any leading company of this kind will always have some premium, William Such is the case with White's businesses.
Therefore, it is normal to be coveted by others. As for the shares he threw out, it is far from satisfying their greed.
However, now there is nothing left to do. One Citigroup can't shake anything at all, and one is not good, and it may be a disgraced situation again.
I have to say that timing is really important. If this happened after the Plaza Accord, William White would not have had such an easy time.
Now this time is the weakest moment of the consortium. Of course, although they succeeded in replenishing blood later, they also lost the opportunity to call the wind and rain forever.
Lao Mei's shock therapy this time not only messed up the world's economy, but also dealt a severe blow to the consortium.
I really don't understand whether such a huge plan was done unintentionally, or it was planned for a long time.Anyway, the guy who can come up with this plan is definitely a genius.The international and domestic situation in the next few decades will be affected by this plan.
Hehe, it's just a pity that although this plan is good, there is a variable.
Of course, William White will not be reckless, and it is necessary to keep a low profile.As a fish that slipped through the net, he should continue to slip through the net.
I have to say that William White may have thought too much, and of course there will be no plans, but the person who made the plan did not expect that there would be such a huge influence. Naturally, these are things for later, and I will skip them here.
Chapter 281 Making Money Is Really Not Difficult
Speaking of it, the foot basin people are really desperate. In just over a month, the first batch of PSP game consoles have been delivered.Well, these bastards really want money and life.
Due to the very limited number, the world of legends does not have too much publicity.According to the boss, 20 game consoles are only sold in three days.
Well, this time William White guessed wrong. There was no such thing as three days. With the purchase limit of two per person, it was sold out in half a day.
Seeing such a scene, a group of so-called securities analysts immediately shut up.I believe that for a long time, they dare not talk nonsense anymore, and investors who follow their advice may never be able to buy their own stocks back.
Sometimes, people's mentality is like this. If you sell the stock at 30 yuan, you will never buy it again when it reaches 40 yuan.Well, there may be exceptions, those people are either crazy or stock gods.
To be honest, today's PSP is really stupid, the LCD screen is not very big, and the resolution is even more cloudy.
However, in the eyes of William White, it is very rubbish, it is really easy to sell!
The snowflake-like orders instantly overwhelmed the ordering system of the legendary world.
1000 units?
Hehe, it seems that there is not enough to sell at all!
Nowadays, no one really doubts that this so-called portable game machine is a big hit, the reason is very simple, it is not children who like these things at all, when I go to work on the subway, I often see some guys playing.
A group of consortiums are very annoying. They have robbed the so-called big plan for so long, and it seems that it is not as good as other people's game consoles.
Star Wars?Ha ha.
The profit of military products is very high, but the research and development costs are also high. If you look at this game console, it is just a derivative of a video game console.
At the top end are arcade machines, then there are video game consoles, and now there is a portable, um, computer game.Well, a game IP has been played four tricks by others.You said, is there any reason in this world?
It's not just the consortium that sees this business opportunity. Many people with ideas have already started to operate it. What they are eyeing is naturally the content of the game.
Although the terms of the Legendary World are fucked, they have a large user base, and if your game is suitable for multiple platforms, it will also make a lot of profits.
In fact, there are really two good companies out there.As for the losers, no one cares whether they live or die.
When things have reached this level, the foot basin people have to give up, forget about other things, and just work hard to produce game consoles.If you still have spare time, it's good for you to play a few games.
William White, who has been watching these guys, can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and his PS2 plan can also be postponed.
The foot basin people actually know that Legendary World is developing a new system, and this is their biggest headache.Once they choose independent research and development, then one after another blows will come.At that time, they will really be finished.
William White knew very well that the red and white machines in his previous life had sold hundreds of millions of units, and if the Xiaobawang of the Celestial Dynasty was included, that number might even double.
William White played very well against the foot basin people. As for the Celestial Dynasty, there is really no way.You are two hundred dollars, and others are 200 yuan. This is really unbearable.
As for those patents, don't mention them!
Some people have said that you can just open a factory, because you can make money in the same way.
This really doesn't make any money, and now everyone is staring at the game console, because the sales are really scary, and all of them are in units of [-] million.
William White didn't say that he didn't care at all, so he was suspected of being pretentious. In fact, he paid more attention to the game cassette.
In the 21st century, selling game consoles basically loses money. What they rely on are those games, which are the foundation of their existence.
Think about it, since game consoles can't make much money, how do you make a living in China?
The game cartridge has been developed from the initial 64-in-[-] to [-]-in-[-].
make money?
No one buys the genuine ones, and it might be too much to give them away for free. They can solve everything with just one cassette, so why bother to exchange them.
I have to say that William White is really not greedy enough to be jealous, but this guy is still hypocritical here.I have to say, this is quite a bitch.
"President, what about our two games?"
"Hey, let's go and communicate with the legendary world, they are too powerful, we still need to accumulate strength."
It is said that the foot basin people will endure. This is indeed true. They will compromise during the Plaza Accord, but they do not have the strength yet.When Trump wants to rob again, he will lie down and quit.
Hehe, I had no choice but to rob the Rabbit Country next door.However, Big Rabbit is not afraid of war, and intimidation is even more cloudy, so the trade war kicked off.
The old American economy is indeed a bit hysterical intermittently. In 08, it robbed the world once, but in less than ten years, this product ran out of money again.
