Chapter 304 Apple Is Impatient
The brilliant performance of Compaq Computer really shattered the glasses all over the place. I really can't figure it out, could this be the backhand of the blue giant?
For Compaq, 1984 was a good year. They are much more pragmatic than Apple. After obtaining the authorization from Microsoft, they have achieved great success in commercialization.
According to the latest semi-annual report, this wonderful company may have a profit of more than US$100 million.
The sudden news instantly detonated the entire IT industry.
Markkula's mood is broken. He really can't understand how this competitor rises. According to the development of this plot, Apple will be kicked off the throne soon.
If it was a critical attack by the blue giant, then there is no way, who let him be the boss?
But what the hell is Compaq?
Unbeknownst to Markkula, his nightmare has just begun. Compaq is almost stepping on Apple's position. Whenever people talk about Compaq, they always use Apple to mock them.
The most depressing thing is that the culprit, Master Qiao, has not been blamed in any way.
Apple, which has serious internal worries, has to face those aggressive opponents. Suddenly, the stock price fell like an avalanche.
"Boss, Mr. Bill Gates is here."
"Okay, I'll meet him in the conference room."
The arrival of Bill Gates made William White very strange. Shouldn't this guy be hiding in the company to write code?
"Welcome, my friend, is something important happening?"
"William, there is nothing major, it's just that I have some headaches, I hope you can give me some advice."
"Haha, let me guess, you came directly from Apple."
Bill Gates couldn't help being taken aback, but he didn't expect that William White could guess so accurately.
"William, are you recruiting the FBI?"
"Haha, they hate me now, how could they be included by me. Master Qiao spit at you again?"
Bill Gates looked bitter, and really didn't know how to answer.
"Bill, do you know that the next generation of office software requires more disk space than iOS, so don't think about it, it's impossible."
Bill Gates didn't like the atmosphere of the conversation at all. The guy on the other side was like a cheat, and he could always know what he was thinking.
"Hehe, Markkula is also in a hurry. If they have the right software, they might still be able to give it a try."
"Hey, Bill, both of us are software players, and I won't tell you those lies. For this hopeless computer, do I need to expose my cards? If it's Microsoft, would you do that?"
"No, then, what about the window system?"
"Hehe, I attach great importance to it, and I have enough preparations. When will you introduce it to the market?"
"If all goes well, there will be a beta next year."
"We will fully cooperate. There will be no new versions of the Apple system. As for those minor changes, they will be launched later."
"Apple II?"
"Yes! Otherwise?"
"Haha, William, I heard that they plan to stop producing the second-generation machine."
William White could only shake his head and smile wryly. Needless to say, this is definitely Joe's idea.
"Hehe, if they weren't a listed company, what you said would happen, now? Impossible."
"Well, I heard it was very noisy."
"Although I admire Old Qiao very much, this time he has no reason. The new product is not selling well, so why keep blaming other people. If I guess correctly, the only thing they can make money from is the second-generation machine. "
"Hehe, that's true."
The two gloating guys were teasing Master Joe. Through communication, Bill Gates also understood William White's ideas. It's not that people don't pay attention to software, they just don't pay attention to Apple.
In fact, Bill Gates clearly sensed the problem. William White's strategy has shifted, and he no longer pays attention to companies like Wang An and Apple. IBM and those compatible machines are the current focus.
William White really didn't know how to describe Jobs in this era. The third generation of Apple was screwed up by him, so he ran to toss the Lisa project. After making one, I couldn't get up and down, but I actually made another Macintosh.
Well, it was all good at first, but, you can't be so unreliable, can you? As long as you find that you can't solve the problem, start throwing the blame immediately. It goes without saying how bad this guy's popularity in the company is.
Markkula and the others accommodate you because you are still valuable. William White is not used to this problem. If you keep arguing, my buddies will not even care about the second-generation machine.
Felson admires his boss very much now. They have avoided the trap of Apple. If those stocks have not been sold, the loss now is too great.
And that Compaq, the boss's vision is really good, and next year's IPO will surely make a lot of money.
Big Mo was very depressed, they did not have the foresight of William White. Apple's stock price keeps shrinking, and it is difficult to cash out. This is basically a typical representative of stock speculation into shareholders.
After looking around, William White's stock is still reliable. Even if there are some ups and downs, there is no big problem. This kind of company that insists on large dividends is really suitable for long-term investment.
After seeing off Bill Gates, William White continued his filming. After these years of training, his level has also grown significantly.
This is also what he is most satisfied with. The things obtained by relying on foresight are not very reliable.
"Crap, this scene is over." William White was very satisfied with the scene that just ended, and even felt a little ready to move.
Hehe, I believe that when this movie is painted, it will surprise many people.
"Damn it, isn't this scale too big?"
"Well, trust me, it's art."
"Hmph, so you worked so hard just now, isn't it considered a devotion to art?"
"Of course, if you hadn't been developed so thoroughly, how could you have that kind of performance? Why, don't you remember? What did you want to be direct at the beginning?"
"Damn it, you are not allowed to say it."
"Hehe, do you know? The youthfulness at that time really shocked me."
Sharon Stone is not sure whether the movie will do well at the box office. It is certain that her popularity will soar again. The things she is filming now must be fatal to men.
Needless to say, the little boy behind him couldn't help it. This has been tossed several times, why is it endless?
It's really boring to compete with the old guys, how good it is to hide here and win the cabbage. Such juicy cabbage will be gone in a few years.
Master Qiao completely lost power, he felt abandoned, those former friends suddenly became hideous. I really don't understand, why don't you understand me?
Damn it, I'm going to settle with William White. This bastard actually fell into trouble.
