Chapter 249 The Giant Who Was Knocked Out
William White was struggling at home, and the IT industry finally ushered in a change.
IBM seems to be in conflict with the Texans. This is the case with William White, and this is still the case with Compaq.
The two guys from Texas Instruments originally thought they would engage in CPUs or dynamic memory. After all, these people's profession is this, and it is unlikely to play any cross-border.
For White System, a company with a registered capital of 10 million US dollars is really not worth mentioning.
"Compaq? Those fellows from Texas Instruments?"
"Yes, boss, you know them?"
"Of course I know that this company should be taken seriously. It should be a new company, right?"
"Yes, it was just established this year."
"Tom, don't look at their size, and don't care if it's a new company. The bosses of this company are very capable, and the old guy from Texas Instruments is blind."
"Well, then I'll go and get in touch with it myself."
"Well, let's go for a while. It's a matter of benefit and cost. If nothing unexpected, they will choose MSDOS."
"Well, that's really worth paying attention to."
"Haha, I guess IBM is going to have a headache, so what about making rules? Although it will take the initiative in the market, the side effects are also obvious."
"Boss, if this is the case, if there is the first one, there will naturally be a second one."
"Yeah, the IT industry has been quiet for too long, and some changes are needed."
At the same time, the guy in charge of the IBM PC project was also having a headache. Although the newly transferred senior executive had handled the relationship with the White system well, he also faced new challenges.
IBM compatible?
Nima, you are too careless, aren't you? How can you be so shameless, damn Texan.
This guy was obviously mad. Although he came from Texas Instruments, he might not be a Texas guy. To be honest, Texas doesn't have talent in this area, and the cowboys are about the same. As for the high-tech industry, California is obviously more powerful.
The North-South dispute in the old America is also very interesting. The northerners seem to be better at fighting politics and other things, and the southerners are obviously better at things like making money and doing business. Adding Texas and California together can easily beat everything.
After the end of World War II, this trend became more obvious. The so-called industrial upgrading, the development of the south is obviously better.
Regardless of whether you are from Texas or not, IBM is disgusting enough anyway. Look at their promotional slogans, 85% of the price, 99% of the performance.
These bastards almost said it directly, you can get 15% off if you buy ours, the things are actually the same, I don’t believe you can try it.
In fact, this 99% is still debatable. IBM's products are indeed expensive, but their quality is really good. But now there is a question, isn't the economy depressed today? There's nothing wrong with saving a little.
Naturally, Apple and Wang An were facing crisis at the same time. They did not expect that the market would change so quickly.
Yes, IBM has no advantage in a price war with you, but what about those compatible machines? They are not bad at all, the most important thing is compatibility!
As actual users of computers, different systems are too fucked up, why can't you all be in the same dust? Although Microsoft's system is garbage, it can be used anyway.
Bill Gates' ears are also very hot. Although he doesn't want to offend IBM, he is not stupid. The software is sold as a set. Since the White system is compatible with everything, why should he bother? Besides, if it is really not Sell, you really think there is no competition.
What he is most worried about now is White Software. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, God knows if that bastard will also work on the operating system.
"Hey, Tom's suggestion seems to be really considerable." Bill Gates was indeed struggling. He was very sure that Tom had no right to make decisions. This must be what William White meant.
Yes, William White intends to be lazy. He wants to cross-hold shares with Microsoft. The biggest problem now is that Microsoft’s valuation is far lower than that of White Software. Cross-shareholding is okay, but being incorporated directly is not good.
Seriously speaking, William White is still very sincere. He only needs 10% of the shares, and he doesn't need more, and he won't pursue holding shares. Anyway, 10% is the upper limit.
William White is digging holes for Bill Gates, or he wants to take advantage of others. If others don't know the value of Microsoft, how can he not know.
Of course, there are still many opportunities. Before the emergence of win95, the value of Microsoft was the same.
The turmoil in the IT industry has very limited impact. Anyway, White Software has no position, and it sells it for the money. If you buy more, you will get a discount.
Mrs. Veron announced that it had finished filming. The outside world can only describe this shooting speed as unbelievable. No one said anything about shoddy production. So far, White Pictures has never made a bad film.
Of course there are people who are not convinced, but no one cares about their thoughts. There are not many people who are qualified to question him. Lucas and Spielberg may be able to, and the other guys should save it.
William White's broken mouth really makes people gnash their teeth. It's useless if you move a famous old guy. Who are you? It is estimated that it will directly kill people.
The old guy from the film academy didn't want to see him. In fact, there was also a reason for this. Dezhi rampant was talking about this guy.
"Jason, here I come again."
"Boss, can't they talk to me with a different person? I'm going to throw up when I talk to you all the time. Please do me a favor and change to a beautiful woman next time."
Little Bush has a black line on his face, he really doesn't want to come this time, you bastards, you have the ability to cause trouble, but you don't have the ability to make peace, is this free use of fools?
"I'm not talking about you."
"Stop, stop, don't use this opening line, I'm not talking about your follow-up, it's all about me, dare you say that's not what it means?"
"Fuck, that's fine."
"I guessed it right? Tell me, what are the conditions?"
"The investigation is terminated, and your media should stop making trouble."
"Haha, I still have a set meal. I said that these consortia are eating away at the economy of the United States. The current harsh economic environment is just an industrial upgrade of the consortium."
Little Bush's face was completely darkened. Naturally, he knew that William White was talking nonsense, but these words must be known to those behind him.
"William, you are not so outrageous, are you?"
"What's the matter? I won't talk about the United States first. I will start with Europe. By the way, I will analyze the reasons for World War II."
"Okay, okay, calm down too, I will bring these words."
"It's really boring. I can't even make a joke. I also plan to make a movie called The Passion of the Christ."
"Are you sure you want me to say that?"
"Of course, if they don't abide by the rules, there are actually a lot of outrageous themes. There are so many novels by Maupassant, I can make any of them without any problem."
When William White said this, he actually started to be unreasonable, and the Jewish consortium was still watching.
Of course, there are still people who are happy to see the results, but they never thought that William White would actually do such a thing.
To be honest, many of them may not believe it.
But what if?
Today's United States is almost a powder keg. If someone shouts at this time, it will be the fault of those vampires.
Well, they didn't dare to continue thinking, this scene was too scary. There are many people who oppose them, especially here in the United States. During the period after the war, they were indeed a little bit drifting.
Silly Damu's nuclear power plant explodes whenever he says he wants, and his disobedient neighbors hit him whenever he wants. It's just staring in the face.
