Reborn American Tycoon

　"Hehe, a loss of $50 billion a year, Felson, everyone says that I am a prodigal, William White. Look, the blue giant is a model of a prodigal. Tsk tsk, $50 billion, how many Boeing 747s are these, How did these bastards lose money?"

　"Boss, I heard that there is going to be a coaching change. A president of American Express, yes, a guy named Gerstner."

　"Gerstner? Yes, I know this guy. By the way, Felson, keep an eye on IBM's stock price."

　"Boss, changing a CEO will not solve IBM's problems."

　"Hehe, you're wrong, Filson. If this person is cultivated by IBM itself, it will be useless at all. If the board of directors decides to hire an outsider, what do you think they plan to do first?"

　"Layoffs." Felson is indeed worthy of being the chief think tank. As soon as William White opened his mouth, he immediately figured out the cause and effect.Yes, IBM is not like a family business at all.The current CEO has no personnel power at all.Not to mention streamlining the organization, he will also face many constraints if he changes positions.

　The most interesting thing is that his technicians and executives are all cultivated by the company itself.You think about it, the crowd around you are all acquaintances, to put it bluntly, some of them watched you grow up.Who are you going to kick out of the company?

　"Yes, if [-]% of the employees are kicked out, IBM will soon make a profit. Not to mention their products are very good, even their software and technology departments can support Big Blue."

　"Seventy percent?" Filson was dumbfounded. If he did this, tens of thousands of people would lose their jobs.Besides, these compensations.

　"Boss, the amount of compensation may be more than its annual loss last year. Does Gerstner really have the courage?"

　"Filson, in your eyes, is 50 billion really a lot? I dare say that 50 billion in your eyes and 50 billion in Tom's eyes are completely different things.

　If the company managed by Tom loses 50 billion, this guy can lie down immediately.And these 50 billion may be just a set of numbers to you.The stock price hasn't changed much, the company's development prospects are still healthy, and you don't care about this number. "

　Filson didn't feel anything at first, and if he really lost 50 billion, his head would probably be too big.But on second thought, that's really the case.This year's World of Legends and Vikings suffered a huge loss.Isn't he just as calm.

　"Boss, it seems to be a little bit. Could it be that I am not suitable for managing enterprises?"

　"Hahaha, what does Gerstner do? He's a financier. What do you count as billions of dollars? How much does American Express make in a year? If you lose blood this year, you can make money next year.

　The advantage of professional managers is that they don't care about the world.If they want to make a company profitable quickly, they have a million ways. "

　"I know the boss, and I will let the investment department keep an eye on them. Once news of layoffs comes out, their stock prices will definitely drop sharply."

　"By the way, at this moment, you give me all the money. Hahaha, Lao Guo, I am very optimistic about you. Don't let me down." William White licked his dry lips. Felson's hair stood on end.

　The young boss in front of him looked like a prehistoric beast that would choose someone to devour.

　Speaking of IBM, it's really aggrieved.The full name of the overwhelming personal PCs is IBM compatible machines.

　Companies that set industry standards can actually lose $50 billion.The sudden explosion of the mine frightened Peanutton.

　Listen to what NBC said, borrowing anti-monopoly to attack competitors, which violates the principle of fair competition.If things go on like this, there will no longer be great companies in the United States.

　Well, people in the industry know NBC is bullshitting.So what without IBM, didn't Compaq and Dell appear?Without antitrust laws, these two companies simply would not exist.

　That's right, how many people in the industry can have.What the general public thinks is more important.

　Conspiracy theories, in fact, have a market everywhere.This is especially true for the media sector.

　You say that IBM's organization is overstaffed and overstaffed. No one will read this kind of news.You say these are conspiracies and tricks, that makes a big difference.The most ironic thing is that the antitrust investigation against IBM has just ended not long ago.

　Hehe, NBC now jumps out to take the rhythm, who dares to say that there is no story behind it.

　A company with a market capitalization of tens of billions has lost half of its share price now.Whoever dares to jump out now, believe it or not, those shareholders will tear you to pieces.

　Seeing IBM's huge losses, the only one who was happier was Lao Wang's son.Wang An Computer has been bullied by IBM for so many years, now, is that bastard finally going to die?

Chapter 719 The old guy is very bad

　Old Wang's son obviously thought a little too much.If the blue giant is really planted, Peanut will be impatient.

　In fact, IBM is quite profitable. Regardless of the failure of the mainframe, just the technical support department, IBM's profit is close to 20 billion US dollars.

　From personal PCs to the latest ThinkPad laptops, Big Blue's quality is as good as ever.

　Actually, Felson kind of wants IBM to go out of business.If there is such a day, the boss will definitely make a move.As for the reason, this is very simple. The boss does not want to see their stocks, but they have been using IBM computers.

　Before the appearance of this ThinkPad, the boss did not use laptops. As soon as the Big Blue came out, he immediately purchased a batch.These high-level executives in the company all use this kind of computer.

　Since I like it so much, I don't buy its stocks.This can only explain one problem, the boss does not like the current management, but is very optimistic about their technology and production department.If this kind of company enters bankruptcy protection, it would be strange if the boss does not take action.

　"Congratulations, Mr. Lei Shidong, now Paramount belongs to you." Lei Shidong, whose face was full of age spots, felt aggrieved now.The acquisition that could have been done for 80 billion yuan has now cost almost 90 billion dollars.

　Alas, there is a prodigal woman who can't make it through this day.No, the money must be saved, and that damned William White, you wait for me.

　Actually, the old guy should be grateful.If it wasn't for avoiding suspicion, William White even planned to support his wife with some lawyers.

　To be honest, this woman has lost a lot. If she divorces Lei Shidong now, her benefits will definitely be maximized.You want to boil this old boy to death, hehe, and some will wait.

　"About Spielberg and Cameron? And George Lucas. Hehe, old guy, you have a really good vision."

　"Young master, the old guy is very bad, and he intends to fight against the court just now, and his confidence is not ordinary."

　"Xiaohu, it's natural, if you play in theaters, if you don't know that content is king, he might have turned into a dog long ago.

　But, things are not that simple, Lucas is rich and powerful now, so he may not care about him.As for Spielberg, he is basically a young man, even if he is Jewish, if you don't have a good script, he won't make a move.

　Hehe, Xiaohu, the old guy is demonstrating. He spent hundreds of millions more, and his liver is probably shaking. "

　"No wonder, this guy didn't take over the company immediately, but went to those big directors. Young master, if you take action against him now, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence."

　"Hehe, this old bastard, I'm sure I won't do anything. Alas, a 70-year-old guy can still be so tenacious. Xiaohu, master, I can't do it. It's alright, let him make a fuss. "

　Although relaxed on the surface, there is still some discomfort.This dumb person suffers a lot, about the same as that old bastard.

　If Lei Shidong knew what this guy was thinking, he would definitely pounce on him and kill him.His meeting was more of a courtesy.You William White cheated him hundreds of millions.

　If you say that you have made a profit yourself, the old guy has nothing to say.For the sake of profit, no one should talk about those who have what is not.The problem is that you didn't, you just dug holes on purpose from beginning to end.

　Meanwhile, a bunch of Hollywood moguls are pretty disappointed.They have already set up the small stools, and they plan to watch the two fight.Nima, there are several meanings without the following.William White has already returned to Los Angeles, how could he not respond at all.

　William White liked watching monkey shows, but he didn't have the consciousness to be a monkey. At the age of 20, he was capable and unscrupulous, but now he can't.The so-called high-ranking person should not have charged forward.

　Actually, the old guy should talk to Time Warner. If the two of them form an alliance, William White will really have some headaches.

　What?Murdoch?

　William White didn't worry about Fox, the two old guys were equally rigid and mean.However, in terms of attitudes towards money, there are two completely different people.

　Although they are all stingy, Lei Shidong is willing to spend a lot of money on film investment. He is just mean to his family and employees.

　Murdoch is different. To put it bluntly, his focus is on print media and news.Just look at the company name, it clearly says News Corporation.

　Lei Shidong actually didn't know that William White was happy to see his joining.His NBC and White Media are too big, if there are not a few decent opponents, it would be no wonder that Peanutton can rest assured.

　Good guy, if you dare to play tricks in the mid-term elections, you will naturally do it in the general election.If this hits the street, where can I go to reason.

　This is the reason why the donkey is making a lot of noise inside.William White is not an elephant, which is obviously a force that can be won.He has such a close relationship with the Bush family, didn't he make a move during the general election?

　You can see from this point that William White doesn't really care who is the boss of your two families.That's all right now, what about the midterm elections, then, Bill, give me an opinion.

　"Tom, is this Compaq's latest computer?" Seeing this fat man pushing a flatbed cart, William White wanted to laugh.Nima, you are almost as wide as the car.

　"Yes, boss, this is their most high-end model. It cancels the 5.25-inch floppy drive, configures an optical drive, and has a 3D accelerator card."

　"Not bad, not bad, put it on and have a look, by the way, have you tried digital video?"

　"Yes, but the clarity is not good, a quarter of the window is barely enough, if it is full screen, the particles are too obvious."

　"Well, Bell Labs is working hard, at most three months, they will have something to come up with."

　"Boss, is that MPEG stupid? If there are two standards, they may not win."

　"Two? I'm afraid it's more than three, at least three. I received news here that Suomi is also formulating relevant standards. There is also Philips, which has also failed to negotiate with us. Either join MPEG or do it yourself."

　"Damn, if this goes on, I'm afraid there won't be any unified standards."

　William White looked at Tom with a smile, quite disapprovingly.

　"Boss, am I wrong?"

　"Oh, yes, yes, but that's not the point. Tom, we're free, that's not the most important thing. We're still an open system. All members have the same rights.

　If you think about it, Suomi knows that this standard is very important, and Philips also thinks it is very important.As a content provider, why do you think that Hollywood giants don't care about this standard.

　Think about it, how Suomi's video recorder lost to Panasonic.Could it be that Suomi's technology is not better than Panasonic's? "

　"Yeah, boss, this is the weirdest part. Suomi's clarity wins, why did they lose?"

　"It's very simple, the content provider doesn't want too clear pictures. You are all watching the video at home, are there still audiences in my cinema?

　For content providers, the best viewing effect should be in theaters, followed by TV broadcasts, and finally videotapes.If there is something that disappears after one look, they must be very happy. "

　"I know, Hollywood giants should boycott this digital video, at least they won't support it."

　"Yeah, unfortunately it's too late. The Rabbit Country has produced a VCD, which uses an MPEG1 format. It is said that the viewing effect is similar to that of a video recorder. Wait a minute, I've already sent people to buy it."

　Tom's face was full of disbelief, you can't be mistaken, how could this thing be made by Rabbit Country.

　"Well, boss, they probably won't give you copyright fees." William White wanted to scold his mother now, but could he still have a pleasant chat.

Chapter 720 The Wonderful American Culture

　"Master, the Tianqi Ranch has come to an end. I don't know what the FBI is eating. Everyone in it is dead."

　What happened in Texas, William White will naturally pay attention, although it has little to do with him.Since he had that mysterious angel organization, he paid special attention to this kind of incident beyond the normal scope.

　"No, if I remember correctly, the news said that there were hundreds of people inside. Many of them were just women and children."

　"Yes, after a big fire, everything was gone. Young master, FBI's Lou Zi, stabbed a bit big."

　"Xiaohu, what kind of bullshit Davidianism is this? What kind of method is it?"

　"Ahem, master, it's similar to that Scientology. These are pure nonsense. Not only did they say polygamy, they also said that 93 was the end of the world. Well, that guy said, he is the son of God."

　William White fell into a sluggish moment, this shit is too outrageous, it's better if you say it's the messenger of God.If you talk nonsense like this, it is easy for Mr. Shang to explain the problem unclearly.

　What's the matter with the gods, the gods can't give birth everywhere, right?Hey, it seems that there used to be such a person in Big Rabbit Country.

　"Xiaohu, have you found out that they are involved with that angel? The FBI's approach is a bit weird. Can't you just rush in? Even if there are casualties, it won't be so serious."

　Xiaohu's expression was a bit weird, he really didn't know how to complain.Those guys used the war skills they learned in the movie to teach the rookie of the FBI a hard lesson.

　"Well, master, they highly respect the field platoon and first blood. Following the plot in the movie, they gave the FBI a ruthless one. The FBI finally dispatched tanks and armored vehicles, but they could only form a confrontation."

　"Pfft, Xiaohu, are you sure you're not kidding me? Damn, if it's true, can you still make movies happily in the future? Sigh, Alpha, who is still Maozi, just kill him without saying a word, as long as he is moving, Shoot them all."

　Xiaohu is actually very speechless, what happened in February, you can't handle it until now, this is a bunch of idiots.If it is handed over to them, there will be no casualties, and I dare not say that most people will be fine.

　"Master, they are all dead now, so we don't have to keep an eye on them, do we?"

　William White shook his head, the FBI's operation is too amateurish, there may be a story in it.

　"Xiaohu, go and find out why. Those bastards are idiots. I believe they can be idiots like this, but they have already broken through the sky. Go and check to see if there is anything behind them."

　"Okay, I understand, master."

　Old America is basically a religious country, a country dominated by Protestantism.From this perspective, other religions should not be easy to mix in the United States.

　This is not the case. There are simply too many sects in the United States.As long as you are not too outrageous, usually no one cares about you.

　This is actually a very nonsense thing. If a person who is good at fooling is going to do something, it is true that there is no restriction at all.

　If Mustache can be reborn, he must be living well in the United States.Isn't it just speech and flickering, some people are really good at it.

　Of course, this is not what all Americans like.That guy named David shouldn't have put Apocalypse Farm in Texas at all.If it was in New York State or Peanutton, his fans might be even more.

　Where is Texas?

　This is almost the most conservative area in the United States. If you dare to say that you are the son of God on the street, believe it or not, someone will slap you.

　It's okay to scold the president, even if you scold Bush, someone will applaud you.It is not a big problem to scold the United States. Texas does not have a high sense of identity with the United States.

　God can't, this can't be said casually.The most important thing is that Texas cowboys are flooded, and when they do it, they far exceed their words.No matter how foolish you are, it's useless here.

　Classmate Ke, who was lying in the Oval Office, was unable to complain now.This William White incident has just stopped, why is there another moth in Texas.

　Well, in this place of Texas, I have no hope.This mid-term election will definitely be a dog.

　The little beauty Nicole, who was watching TV in the villa, was also shocked. She was sure now that William White really wasn't fooling her.

　However, when these things were established, how could no one interfere.

　Hehe, the little beauty is thinking too much. There are so many lobbying organizations in Peanutton, isn't their job just for this?

　You see, Scientology is frowned upon all over the world, but it is legal in the United States.Not only that, but they are also tax-exempt.

　The United States is such a wonderful thing. If you don't have money, we can't help you.If you have money, illegal can also become legal.Whether it is the lobby group or the group of congressmen, they will always find a way to help you solve the problem.

　The price you need to pay is just a few insignificant dollars.

　Why didn't the donkey dare to tear up his face with William White?

　People made it clear that I am not short of money, and whoever deals with me, I will do it. As long as it is helpful to me, the dollar is not a problem at all.

　In the United States, throwing money at people is the most direct.Pretending to be 13 and slapping the face is completely stupid 13, it is not necessary at all.With seeds, you also smash like me.

　"Stan, you don't have to be so nervous, calm down, calm down." Stan Lee smiled wryly. It has always been his wish to bring comic characters to the big screen.This time, it is the most likely to succeed, how could he not be nervous.
