Reborn American Tycoon

　Is the video format such a simple matter? I’m not afraid to tell you that the CPU, decoder, and graphics processor all need to be considered carefully, which is the next step to consider.

　Now, wouldn't you know that our video accelerator cards are overpowered.This is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the next generation of CPU research and development has entered into actual operation. According to the current situation, even if the video format is increased by ten times, there will be no problem in the hardware.

　In this way, you can choose whatever format you want. There is no need for hardware decompression, just soft decompression. As long as the CPU usage does not exceed 20%, who cares about one or two more formats.

　From video to audio, the two companies drifted apart.Or ten years later, everyone will be compatible with each other.

　"Well, I know Fujita, but you're actually thinking too much. Let me tell you, Suomi just wants to slow down our speed, but unfortunately, they can't succeed.

　Just yesterday, Smecta's Four Star reached an agreement with us. Next, their high-end MP3 players will also have a built-in music store.

　As for the big rabbit country you just mentioned, Suomi is completely fooling.There may be a fee in the future, but it's too early to tell. "

　"Okay, boss. These bastards, at this time, are still trying to play sloppy."

　"Hahaha, hahaha, actually not necessarily, they may be relatively simple, Datu country's entry into the WTO is a foregone conclusion, and negotiations on intellectual property rights have also been concluded, but since the day MP3 was born, it has been playing In the name of technical exchanges.

　Alas, if the United States can't handle it well, why should the Big Rabbit country strictly enforce it.Fujita, believe it or not, sooner or later Somi will produce MP3 players.

　Once Walkman's sales decline, their life will be difficult.I hope this group of guys will start sooner, otherwise things will change later! "

　Even though William White said that, Fujita still felt the mocking tone very clearly even through the computer screen.

　Of course he knew that Suomi finally chose to compromise and threw himself into the embrace of MP3 resolutely.It's just that they appeared too late. At that time, MP3 had become a very low-level electronic consumer product.

　There are four stars in the high-end, and a bunch of Rabbit brands in the low-end. No matter how good your Suomi production is, if you lose the best opportunity, you will lose it.Even if the Walkman mobile phone later saved some face, it could not stop the general trend.

　What is the most popular Christmas gift this year?

　There is no doubt that the MP3 player that has just appeared occupies a considerable proportion.A product with a price tag of 199 U.S. dollars has been sold for [-] on eBay.

　Faced with this weird situation, Wall Street fund managers have been powerless to complain.I said, if you plan to engage in hunger marketing, you should be more or less interested.If it's really a capacity issue, please, fix that sooner.

　Nima, I don't know how much you can sell, how can we value your company.In the past few days, there were still some floating chips that could be absorbed, but these days, with the release of sales data, not many people are willing to sell now.

　"Is it so tough?"

　"Yes, President, the third-party consulting company just provided some information, and the market potential of this player is huge."

　"Um, did we advertise that the sound quality of MP3 players is poor compared to CD players?"

　"It was publicized, but the market didn't buy it. I went to the R&D department just now, and they told me that the MP3 download provided by the music store is very close to CD."

　"It's impossible. Just ten days ago, they told me that they couldn't be compared at all. It's only been a few days. How could this be?"

　Ryosuke Yamada was speechless. He never thought that the launch of the music mall would have such a big impact.

　"President, William White is so cunning, they now offer two MP3 formats. And the high-end one, ordinary music lovers, absolutely can't hear the good or the bad."

　Yes, this time it was really troublesome.Since William White can be upgraded once, of course he can also be upgraded twice.It doesn't take much, just do it again, and your MD may not be enough.

　Although the two Japanese are upright, they will not believe that this thing was not made in advance.

　Obviously, ever since Suomi rejected William White's olive branch, this guy has been deliberately calculating.Or, what they see now is only the appearance, once Suomi makes a move here, he will be hit immediately.

　Looking at the current Columbia Pictures, what else is not understood.William White didn't play cards according to common sense at all.You are either his friend or his sworn enemy.

　Faced with the current situation, you are directly talking about cooperation with red lips and white teeth. This is not treating Mr. Richest Man as a human being!

Chapter 424 Accelerating Online and Offline Expansion

　William White has no time to grind his teeth with Little Japan. Some guys are assholes. You reason with them, and they talk about violence with you.Nima, do I really look like Song Xianggong?

　The Thanksgiving promotion is over, and the main problem of World Mall is still the logistics system.Even with the hive, all problems are still not solved.

　Of course, when things get to this point, it's beyond human effort.Regardless of the rising unemployment rate in the United States, they have no interest in the work of courier brothers.

　Even if they do it reluctantly, they are full of complaints.You don't understand, I have already paid the fee, why do you still care about the tip? If this situation becomes the norm, online sales will have great limitations.

　Of course, there is no way around these things. The United States is a tipping country, so there is nothing to say about it.

　As a result, in order to continue to expand its business territory, William White must increase investment in offline stores.

　"Is it possible that after I place an order and pay online, I can go directly to a specific area to pick it up?" At the entrance of a newly opened large 7-11 in West Hollywood, a group of guys in suits and ties are surrounding a young-looking man. guy.

　"Boss, there is no technical problem. We can determine the inventory status based on the real-time data of the POS machine." Larry Ellison stood out from the crowd, and the interface said.

　"Very well, Larry, there may be some problems here, for example, the system shows that there are three items in stock, but two of them are in the customer's cart.

　There is a problem of advance, of course, I think you can solve this problem.

　Is there any more? "

　"Manpower can become a big problem, looking for items, putting them in the cart, printing the shopping list, there is a lot of work involved."

　"Yes, boss, there are still some accidents during this Thanksgiving promotion. If it is not prepared in advance, it is really difficult to deal with." Filson was slightly dissatisfied with Larry Ellison's stealing the limelight.Of course he understands the old guy's motivation, but the uncertainty of this project is too great.

　The 7-11 project is relatively tasteless in William White's business landscape.Until now, 7-11 is still in a state of loss.

　If it is said that the loss of Bell Labs is for tomorrow.Then, the losses of these supermarkets are a bit out of date.However, in this embarrassing situation, the boss still decided to expand aggressively.

　For Felson's idea, William White expressed his understanding.This is the difference between a boss and a professional manager. In fact, few bosses would care about an appropriate loss.Making money is of course the last word, but market dominance is equally important.

　William White shook his head and smiled bitterly. If Wal-Mart and Costco agreed for him to take a stake, why should he get involved in an industry he is not familiar with.The store looks simple, it is nothing more than ordering logistics sales, but there are really few companies that really play this trick.

　"Is it possible that we use the concept of automatic storage here." Looking at the eyes of a group of men, William White knew that his idea was a bit unrealistic. "Okay, okay, I'm just an idea, so let's do a few pilots first, it's just a test to see if there is such a demand.

　As for purchasing agents, you can find some odd jobs. "

　"There is no problem with this, I will make a plan immediately."

　William White nodded and began his work of inspection and condolences.Regarding the boss's bad taste, a group of subordinates can only cooperate.From the looks of this group of guys, it's enough for each of your employees to send a red envelope, and they won't care about your condolences.

　Or only William White himself understood that he was actually very helpless when he appeared on the scene.World Mall's sales have reached a bottleneck, or due to consumption habits, the number of new registered users is declining, so he must find a way to break the situation.

　But this kind of stuff without any precedent is indeed a bit embarrassing for the mediocre William White.Take a look at the scene, or maybe there is a flash of inspiration, even if there is no, his group of men will help him think about it.

　He doesn't really care about the cost issue that Felson mentioned.Automatic storage is expensive because there is no quantity. If all large supermarkets need to buy it, the current price can be discounted by [-]%.

　Filson is a little puzzled, the current sales situation is already very good, what are you dissatisfied with?Do you know, that old guy at Wal-Mart is a little anxious.You not only grab resources online, but also accelerate the expansion of offline physical stores.Nima, this is not intended to leave a way for people to survive.

　In the position of William White, every move will attract attention.Different from his hypocrisy, generally speaking, the outside world has a positive view of World Mall.You have built a sales platform out of thin air. If you are not satisfied with this, we would like to ask, do you still leave a way for others to survive.

　"Run to inspect? Andy, how do I feel, what kind of official is this guy now!

　By the way, some time ago, there was news that Suomi was negotiating with them.

　What happened to this?

　Now that the exchange has been agreed, we should make the move sooner. "

　Andy was speechless. The issue of Enron and Pacific Gas, Morgan Stanley's involvement was too deep. In order to avoid being affected, they chose to communicate with William White.

　NBC no longer reported on California's energy crisis in depth, and their Big Morgan came forward to lobby Peanutton. In order to reduce waste, the format of digital video should be unified.

　"Boss, the negotiations have broken down. According to the news from the Japanese side, William White is not sincere at all."

　"In this way, it should be the end. We must hurry up. Don't give anyone a handle, William White is a chicken, it's best not to entangle him.

　By the way, how about the current 7-11 shopping centers, they seem to have not yet started to make profits. "

　"Absolutely not, and the recent consumer market is also sluggish. Both Wal-Mart and Costco are planning to close some malls.

　But 7-11, they should still be expanding. "

　A simple trip by William White was directly interpreted in various ways.Coupled with the paparazzi's fueling and nonsense, this incident has become very weird. The most direct impact is, of course, that Wal-Mart's stock price has fallen again.

　In such a situation, apart from a wry smile, William White may not have any other expressions.Even if he comes out to refute the rumors now, I am afraid no one will listen to it.That's what a weak market is all about, the world is full of superstitious bullshit, and stocks drop immediately on any news, even if it's good news.

Chapter 425

　Ying Jiang likes to tout the American dream, but in William White’s view, the so-called American dream means that if you succeed, you will have a dream, if you fail, you can only dream.

　Although there are many doubts about William White's business model, it is really difficult to say anything because of its success again and again.

　Of course, there is no place without carrying essence.Back at the company, William White, who was in a good mood, immediately disappeared when he saw the briefing brought by his assistant.

　The so-called popular right and wrong, now William White is like WiFi, just want to rub it if you are an individual.If you were talking about his gossip, he wouldn't have cared about it a long time ago. The so-called lice don't itch and debt doesn't worry. Since you have already been doomed to be a scumbag, you can just say whatever you want.Strange to say, the more black he is, the more women plan to climb into his bed.

　Howard Hughes second, this sentence has been said badly.Or, many people are looking forward to it, it would be great if this guy is like Howard Hughes, so that we can divide up his property logically.

　"Lisa, what's the matter with this Jack Welch? Who is playing the rhythm recently? Why am I second to Jack Welch.

　Don't they know that, apart from their age, Howard Hughes and Jack Welch are not as accomplished as I am. "

　"Yes, you are the best, those guys are just jealous. Boss, he has been very good lately."

　William White was a little speechless. My buddy has suffered a lot of losses recently.Nima, it's not hand sanitizer, you press it and it will come out.When you get older, the production cycle will become longer. This is still the case of not being overdrawn. If it is seriously overdrawn, it will not be able to make up for three to five months.

　Nima, when I see a girl, I feel like throwing up, how can my buddies go out for a while.

　"It's working time now, so what, this matter must be taken seriously, I said, your boss has been hacked like this, why are you still so careless.

　Do this again next time, be careful I will punish you. "

　The little assistant rolled her eyes, Tingting twisted her waist and left.

　Well, William White was speechless.He seems to have remembered that what this girl likes most is being punished, you say that, but she intends to reward her.

　Shaking his head, he blocked those inappropriate pictures.The little assistant is fierce and brainless, but he is not William White.Obviously, except for his affiliated media, almost all financial media are comparing General Electric with him.

　Diversification has been talked about for so many years, and so many companies have tried it. However, the truly successful diversified companies seem to be only White and GM.

　Or nobody knows that William White is actually against diversity.God is sorry, if he really admired Jack Welch, he wouldn't have so many companies in his hands now.A White Group can get everything done.

　Apart from other things, TV production and distribution have been stripped from NBC, so what are you talking about about diversity.A TV station is about to be dismantled. If you combine all industries, is this going to treat the Ministry of Justice as a dead body?

　"Um, are you planning to leave?" When the little assistant came back again, he had some more documents in hand.Obviously, this is deliberately angry with himself.

　"Yes, boss, GM's share price has been going up and down since the news broke, and these briefings are for you every day."

　William White smiled wryly. If it was ancient times, the text he needed to read was definitely more than any diligent emperor.But, his dream is to become a faint king!

　"Diversification? Are these people stupid?" Buffett, who was also holding a newspaper, was a little amused. Of course, he believed that Jack Welch was an outstanding CEO.If you are lucky enough to become a shareholder of General Electric, then you can indeed get very high returns during the 20 years as CEO.

　With a market value of 6000 billion U.S. dollars, the annual profit exceeds [-] billion.Even if you want to say that he is not great, the facts are in front of you, and there is no way to deny it.

　Charlie Munger shook his head and sighed: "Oh, it's not that they don't understand, it's that Franklin covered their eyes."

　Well, Buffett is very surprised. In order to avoid being disturbed by off-site news, the old guy seldom cares about irrelevant news, so he naturally doesn’t know that recently, William White is either on the headlines or on the way to the headlines .

　Of course, Charlie Munger doesn't want to talk about this topic. It's just a game and strife between chaebols.It's so easy to be the leader. Whether it's between countries or consortiums, the relationship between the boss and the second and third will not be very good.

　"One is a boss and the other is a professional manager. There is a huge difference. GE has a lot of problems. Let me tell you, Jack is going to quit in a hurry.

　In fact, a CEO of more than 20 years may not be suitable for a company. "

　Buffett agrees with Charlie Munger's words.Professional managers look at profits and stock prices.Generally speaking, in addition to the expensive basic salary, they all have a gambling agreement with the board of directors.

　You have completed the target plan, there is nothing to say, and the equity incentive is for this situation.Of course, if you don't fulfill the agreement, even if you won't be fired, you won't be given any options.

　Do you really think Jack Welch likes acquisitions so much?

　Every time an acquisition is made, there will be wild jumps, layoffs, outsourcing, and do everything possible to reduce costs.Speaking of this, William White did learn a lot.

　What?Actually imitating, you are too unstyled.

　What do you think, one-third of the CEOs of the world's top 6000 companies come from GM.In William White's view, the market value of [-] billion is not worth boasting, and there will be many one trillion in the future.It is not uncommon to have a profit of tens of billions. You have a price-earnings ratio of [-] times. If you cannot maintain high-speed growth, why should shareholders give you such a high price-earnings ratio?

　Being able to be said to be the No. [-] CEO without any objection is actually the cultivation of talents.Helping companies all over the world train CEOs, this thing is so hard to say.

　Remember, it's the whole world.This fellow taught Lean Production and Six Sigma to Little Japan, and also helped Big Rabbit Country train a lot of managers.Seriously, this is indeed an open and proud company.

　Unfortunately, under the impetus of the system, as long as anyone intends to take over GM, what awaits him will be a disaster.

　William White can shrink the front line, and can also accept a certain degree of loss.So he doesn't care, if you hand it over to him, the first thing you need to do is sell it.

　The manufacturing industry in the United States is over. Even if Peanut doesn't come up with that stupid deindustrialization, there is no hope for the manufacturing industry in the United States.No matter how you outsource and reduce costs, the fact that demand is falling is an indisputable fact.

　Then, in the face of this situation, the more diversified you are, the more difficult it is to deal with it. If you can’t cut your positions decisively, there is no reason for you to die.

Chapter 426 Whimsical

　I just don't know, that unlucky guy will be the successor, William White secretly slandered, how do you let the latecomers deal with a company that has been run to such a high level.Nima, seeing that there is no possibility of breaking through, you pat your ass and run away, leaving behind a legend.

　Then, this company may never have a second.

　Or, Jack Welch is not so black-bellied, he just realized that some problems may occur if General Electric continues to be in his own hands.If you can find a guy with great ability, or can solve the problem.

　"Don't make trouble, my makeup is all over, oops, I hate it."

　Seeing Natasha running away quickly, William White felt a little resentful.Of course it's not good to be late for the governor's party, but, do I have to go so early?

　"Natasha, where are my pants?"

　The corner of the beautiful sister's mouth twitched, you bastard, you took it off yourself, now you come here to ask someone.

　"Honey, forget about it, it seems to have been destroyed, I asked the housekeeper to get a new one."
