Chapter 1343: Highbrow and Low-Key
Buffett was astonished. He subconsciously believed that there must be William White factors involved. Although he could ignore the title of God of Management, William White's ability to create hype was impossible for him to deny even if he wanted to.
"Charlie, is there something we don't know here? Why is it so awkward!"
"Warren, if there is a reason, it might be the software mall. I heard that after having this thing, the valuations of many software companies have increased.
However, this is limited to those small and medium-sized ones. Hehehe, life has been a bit difficult for Bill's classmate recently, and the successive blows are really dizzying. "
Buffett shook his head and smiled bitterly. William White is a narrow-minded person. Just look at Murdoch back then and you will know. He was very disapproving of Bill Gates's good appetite. If you really think that the world revolves around you, it's just business competition. If you really get upset, Microsoft's turmoil is inevitable.
In a capital society, whoever has the most capital has the most power. You, Bill Gates, are also a son of an aristocratic family. Why don't you understand such a simple truth?
"Charlie, let's put this aside for now. What does Motorola say? Will it sell its semiconductor department? If it does, we won't be in a hurry to sell our shares."
"No, most of the directors seem to have compromised. However, Christopher seems to have made a lot of concessions.
The semiconductor division will become an independent organization. I think this is the bottom line for those old guys. "
Buffett can't understand it. He understands White Bank's loan of US$500 million, but what does low-interest loan mean? Recently, the Federal Reserve's interest rates have been rising almost every month.
Low interest rate?
This is because your brain is not working well!
"Boss, the sales of smartphones can only be said to be average. Now that this department is independent, it will be a bit overwhelming." Feilson became increasingly confused about the boss's thoughts. Who would use a mobile phone to surf the Internet? Nowadays, we try to make mobile phones smaller and more refined. If you take out such a big box, it really doesn’t look good.
William White pondered for a moment and decided to say something. If you come up with all your ideas and say they are inappropriate, your own people will treat you as a lunatic. But it won't work if you don't say anything at all. Everything depends on guessing, and your subordinates won't know how to do things.
"Filson, the transmission rate of GPRS is still too low. However, the next 3G will not be slow. Think about it, you can use your mobile phone to steal food in the future, and you can also run ICQ through your mobile phone.
So, you still think it’s not necessary?
In fact, the next PDA will have ICQ embedded, and data can also be downloaded through the SIM card. So, what do you think?
Stock delivery, email, search engines, plus this social software. I don’t know the choice of ordinary people, but there is no need to question the choice of business users, they will definitely buy it.
Or, it’s still a bit high-key, but I believe that if Moore’s Law is really effective, then the performance will double in 18 months. Anyway, I am looking forward to the next development. "
Even though it was a bit unbelievable, because their judgment was always correct, they didn't know whether to refute it. Or the time may not be as the boss said, but they are unable to refute this development trend.
The boss said at the beginning that the number of mobile phone users should be measured in hundreds of millions. It seems that no one doubts this original joke. In this way, it is really not a big deal for mobile phones to replace part of the functions of laptops.
Regardless of other places, look at small Japan now. That so-called PDA is already sold all over the world. Little Japanese likes to use this thing to record all data, and Big Rabbit likes to use this thing to learn languages. The most hopeless one is the American emperor, they like to use this thing to replace the PSP.
The final result is what it is now, both Little Japan and Big Rabbit Country are selling well. But in the United States, word-of-mouth and sales are lost, and the game playing is not as good as the PSP. When it comes to recording, they prefer to write with a pen.
Well, since the boss said Moore's Law. Then when the processing speed of the CPU increases, the game performance will naturally improve. If the function of the music player is added, the prospects seem to be decent.
The conversation ended, and William White sighed. No matter what the development trend is, you can't be shocked. If you want to convince these subordinates, you must come up with sufficient reasons.
It's not bad now, they finally understand that William White is going to fight Microsoft because of Mao. CE and Android are fundamentally overlapping. To put it bluntly, they are an either-or battle.
Winner takes all, this is the consensus of the IT industry. Since classmate Bill dares to covet him, then don’t say anything and just go directly to PK.
“Damn, even the goods are virtual, how can he ensure intellectual property issues.
By the way, Michael, the sales during Thanksgiving and Christmas are not good. Are you planning a promotion? "
Michael Dell rolled his eyes. He was here to make money, not charity. Dell has no stores to sell, so the room for price decline is naturally limited.
"Jeff, I heard that the Windows system will also be included in the software mall. Why, the sales of your software have dropped sharply?"
Jeff Bezos shook his head. Since the prices are similar, of course it is still reliable. Microsoft's operating system is so expensive, how can it be possible to choose what to download.
"No, CD sales have declined recently. If it weren't for the sudden rise of DVDs, our life would not be easy.
You know, audiovisual books are our specialty at Amazon. "Jeff Bezos sighed, knowing that a world mall would appear, so why would he bother with William White.
He wanted to take things step by step, but William White was seizing the day. With such a big difference, parting ways is inevitable. If he can calm down a little, or there is still a honeymoon period.
"Jeff, price concessions are impossible. Now it seems that the Pentium III is garbage. We are trying to contact AMD, so you should wait.
Maybe at the end of the year, Microsoft heard that there will be a small facelift. If it's just win2000, I don't think there's any need to upgrade.
By the way, how about the legendary business phone? "
Jeff Bezos curled his lips, this thing is a bit like Motorola. Not only are they similar in appearance, but the internal application software is also similar.
"Relatively niche, why, Dell also has a mobile phone?"
"Hey, I'm not good at mobile phones, but the market for this PDA is really big. We will launch it in the second half of the year, how about it? Give it a special page?"
"Easy to say, easy to say. However, your competition seems to be very fierce. As far as I know, HP and Compaq may be ahead of you.
Man, you gotta work on it. "
