Chapter 379 The Internet in Its Original State
The so-called big production that finally came to an end started the follow-up production. Now it is not necessary for William White to fumble alone. The company has a bunch of very good editors who can fully meet his requirements.
"Filson, is this the latest achievement of the laboratory?"
"Yes, the boss's modem is more stable than He's, and it's easier to install."
"Hey, it's a pity that this thing hasn't been popularized yet. How are you talking with those phone companies?"
"It's just a tariff issue, they are not very willing to lower the tariff."
"Well, tell them that I plan to set up an information and communication company to use our cable TV line transmission. If they can't significantly reduce the tariff, there will be a competitor."
"Okay, boss, I'm going to negotiate with them. Does the laboratory need to be notified?"
"Hehe, no need, those companies will agree, and I don't really want to steal their jobs. Of course, if they are stubborn, I don't mind letting their stock prices plunge."
Today's poor number of users is definitely not worth William White's new company. Although everyone knew about it, no one would dare to bet on it.
They and Bell Labs are like melons on a vine. They couldn't be more clear about what was being researched in that laboratory. From a technical point of view, William White is very maneuverable.
They don't care if you don't have much money. Although there are ready-made these lines, there are not many people who need to invest in equipment.
What bothers them the most is that this so-called modem can also be used as a fax machine. Although the ones on the market don't have this function, these guys do know it. The function is there, but it has been artificially castrated.
In today's telecommunications industry, faxing is so widely used, if this business is challenged, their stock price will be really bad.
It's funny to say, how long has it been since the split, and some analysts clamored to underestimate it. Judging from this posture, it seems that the market value of eight bells must rise to satisfy them.
This group of vampires will not ignore William White's warning, or in other words, they are very happy to release water if the cost increase is not large. To put it bluntly, the products produced in your laboratory can be regarded as having the same origin.
Of course, you have to despise this guy's bad attitude, you'll die if you speak up!
The current situation is not that William White wants to engage in some black technology. He really has too many things on his hands, and if the modem is really stable, he can use e-mail.
As for web surfing or something, just think about it. Now there is only a BBS, and there are not many users. It is more like a place for a group of enthusiasts to have fun.
There is e-mail, but it is relatively simple, not to mention any attached files, and it doesn't work if there are too many bytes.
Then again, so what if it lets you send attachments. In today's world, what you can send out without digitization is nothing more than scanned pictures or CD music.
Just, do you know how much time this takes?
With a transmission rate of 14.4K, you might as well call FedEx.
"Boss, they agreed to lower the tariff and want to ask about our cooperation method."
"Of course it's for them to sell. In the short term, the sales volume of this item is extremely limited, so it's not worth setting up a department for us."
"Well, then they'll be fine."
"This group of idiots really thought they were accommodating me." Filson was speechless, but he was just accommodating you.
"Hey, even though it won't bring much benefit, you can brag about it. This is a new business, and you don't need to add a lot of equipment. Isn't everyone doing digitization now? It's not good to do it in one step!"
Filson was a little dizzy. He reckoned that those bastards really owed a little favor. Regardless of making money or not, the stock price must be supported, which is obvious.
In fact, people have figured it out a long time ago, and they even have a little expectation. If this thing really works, it will bring a lot of benefits. As long as you are not a fool, you will understand the development trend of personal PCs.
Today's personal PC may not be able to handle these.
What about the future?
The so-called Moore's Law, some inside Intel disagrees. However, White System has been following this principle. Whether their software or adapter cards, all of them have an 18-month cycle.
Gordon Moore is very ashamed. The guy who uses his so-called Moore's Law as a prop is far more famous than him. The most embarrassing thing is that this law seems to be very accurate, and it can always spur the toothpaste-squeezing Intel at the right time.
"Although I hate his attitude, I have to say that this idea is very good. I just don't understand one thing, what is our CEO busy with?" A gray-haired old guy looked at a group of subordinates and said .
"Boss, since the laboratory was divided, their sensitivity to new technologies has decreased. The main energy has been spent on reducing operating costs. From this perspective, they are also very responsible."
"Hey, please make an appointment with William White for me. Do you know what he said in the laboratory? Technology is the primary productive force. So much research and development costs are thrown away, so naturally there is a big plan."
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
Of course William White had a plan, the old guy from Damo, he guessed very well. However, this plan will take a long time.
What is the Internet?
To put it bluntly, it was a failed invention. Or rather, it's not being used in the right place.
I really don't know what is going on with the brain hole of the US emperor. If there is a nuclear war, are you sure these lines will not be affected?
In fact, the area after the nuclear explosion will generate a very large magnetic field. It is impossible for your thing to connect to those missiles smoothly.
Besides, if this thing is hacked, then really don't say anything. That scene with the Terminator is really going to happen.
Military use is definitely not reliable, this technology is indeed quite good. There is no way to connect the missiles, but it can connect the world.
The biggest problem now is that the computer is too weak. It would be nice to be able to use e-mail, but nothing else.
Of course, with the advancement of computer technology, these things will eventually be overcome. William White is just trying to grab a good position right now, and it's nothing if he doesn't make money right now. When the bubble blows, there will be a lot of wealth.
Some people say that the dot-com bubble is terrible. Although this is true, it is not perfect. You have to know that if it weren't for this bubble sweeping the world, there would be no development of this industry.
As for those who went bankrupt, this is just some price. Just like today's cellular communications, a group of red-eyed operators have begun to drink poison to quench their thirst. These junk bonds on the market have reached the level of flooding.
Everyone knows that there are risks, but it's a pity that everyone can't stop, as long as they can persevere, they have a chance to become a winner.
