Chapter 40
Knowing that William White is back, Old Joe will naturally come to play the autumn wind. White Software is so rich that there is even a French chef in the company.
"Damn, your microcomputer database is ready?" Qiao Dashen looked in disbelief.
"Unstable, it will take another month." William White said with a wink and a smile.
"Damn it, I should have bought you in the first place."
"Haha, old Joe, you know, I'm not short of money."
"Damn local tyrant."
William White could only smile wryly, how could he be a local tyrant with his own money?
Master Qiao began to fiddle with the software, and the introduction of a database undoubtedly expanded the application scope of the microcomputer again.
"Old Joe, do you have any suggestions? Criticize me, I don't mind."
"Damn, it's really arrogant enough, Oracle's engineers have this level?" Qiao Dashen's face was tangled.
"No, don't go poaching people anymore, that old man is mentally abnormal, don't provoke that lunatic."
Old Qiao obviously didn't intend to stay with him forever. In fact, he is very clear that this is a question of conception, and software compilation has never been a difficult task.
White Software was about to launch a new product, and Old Joe couldn't sit still anymore. He had to discuss it with other high-level executives. This is no small matter.
"What? Are you sure?" Markkula also had a confused expression, the database is not as simple as a table.
"It's not as good as a minicomputer, but it depends on what you are shooting for. The financial system is definitely not good, and the small and medium-sized enterprises are absolutely fine. They are only version 1.0." Although Qiao Dashen didn't finish, Markkula understood.
The microcomputer database is not widely used, and it may be more of a gesture. William White's motivation is very clear, which is to establish his own position in the industry.
For Apple, they also need to get rid of the game console company title.
The giants of the industry seem to disdain microcomputers, but they are actually preparing to join the battle group. They are just waiting for the right opportunity.
For a company at the level of Big Blue, it is not easy to develop a new product. It will take two years if all goes well.
These two years are an opportunity for Apple. If the advantage cannot be established, the company will be like this. If the advantage can be established, then everything can be said.
Today's CPUs have come a long way. Both Intel and Motorola have released new CPUs. These are obviously prepared for microcomputers, and their performance is absolutely impressive.
Apple's second-generation machine is not as good as the minicomputer, and there is a big gap, after all, the price is there. The gap for the next generation is much closer, and their Lisa project is still very good.
Aren't the bosses looking down on microcomputers, buddies will give you a blow.
What's wrong with the minicomputer? You're garbage. If you have the ability, you can compete with the mainframe, or compete with the supercomputer.
When microcomputers have database support, the living space of minicomputers is naturally squeezed. I can't believe these bastards are still calm.
There are no secrets in Silicon Valley. The White microcomputer database has reached the test state. There are signs that they will release the first test version in at most two months.
Oracle was the one who couldn't sit still first. The old guy had a hard time recently. Want to bombard William White, people say they don't know the company, don't know him, and claim to be just a newcomer, thinking they are ignorant.
No one will believe his nonsense, but no one will refute it. Larry Ellison himself had no way to refute it. You can't say, buddy is so famous, how can you not know me?
William White is bad in this place, and he specially sprinkles salt on other people's wounds.
Regarding the other party's accusation of microcomputers, he also believes that it is indeed not possible now, but he is optimistic about the future development.
You say that his software is not good, and he readily admits that if it wasn't for the customers rushing to buy it, he would have developed the next generation long ago.
In fact, the speed of the hardware can't keep up with their development. William White said that the company's research and development focus is on the 32-bit system, and the current product is indeed a product of compromise.
We have the software, but now the horsepower of the hardware is not enough, and the small horse-drawn cart is very inappropriate. You actually want our small horse-drawn airplane? The concubine really can't do it!
It's the purpose of this guy to be so angry that people don't pay for his life. This forced pretending is simply a peerless pretending 13.
The new company does have so many products, you have been messing around for so many years, and you still have the face to criticize me? You'd better work harder, bro, you haven't exerted your strength yet.
It is not uncommon to tell the truth, but it is indeed difficult to tell the whole truth. Those who can understand will naturally understand, and the people who eat melons will definitely understand it wrong.
They will definitely think that William White is so humble, to be so low-key. That oracle bone inscription really doesn't know what is good or bad.
The same words are interpreted completely differently by insiders and outsiders. This way of pointing and scolding is definitely more exciting than the one in the textbook.
You know that people are mocking you, and the entire IT world knows it, but do you dare to refute it?
Never dare, it will make yourself look stupid.
Regarding this venomous tongue, the IT industry chose to shut up. There is really no need to stand out. This is much more powerful than the Silicon Valley madman. Don't be scolded by him for internal injuries.
Shut up is shut up, the problem still needs to be solved, the 1.0 version may not be able to solve the problem, the next version may not necessarily. Everyone can see the progress of the CPU, and it is an indisputable fact that the gap is narrowing.
Although the price of high-end CPU is expensive, there is not much quantity, and manufacturers do not like this kind of thing, no matter how expensive they are, they will not make money.
The semiconductor industry is fundamentally a capital-intensive industry, and the greater the investment, the greater the output. If you don't have much output, it's not profitable to produce anything.
For Lao Mei, controlling production costs is simply a joke, and they will definitely control the higher the price. It seems that only Asians are good at this thing, and any country is better than Laomei.
Although I don't know how this so-called database is, as long as it is not too rubbish, it will definitely be valued by many people.
The current White Software is definitely not an unknown person, and it is inevitable for the industry to pay attention to it.
The 1.0 version may not be so good. The scary thing is that this trend has been pointed out by others. How to choose depends on personal choice.
It's not good news for Larry Ellison. Just now he published the theory that microcomputers are useless, he jumped out and slapped him in the face. Needless to say, how resentful the old guy is.
Of course he can continue spraying, and then people continue to ignore him, it would be too shameful, he really didn't have the courage to try again.
In the final analysis, everything depends on the product, and relying on the old to sell the old is just a laughingstock.
White office suits are undoubtedly popular, and it's useless for you to talk about other things. You said that microcomputers are useless, but now people tell you that you can use databases.
Now it is not just Whitesoft, all kinds of software suitable for microcomputers are beginning to appear. This is an era when a hundred flowers are blooming. If you continue to talk nonsense, it will soon become synonymous with backward enterprises.
