Chapter 474 The Wrath of the Blue Giant

Compaq gave IBM a hard blow on the personal PC, embarrassing Big Blue's management.

Who can believe that in the process of promoting the popularization of 386 computers, Big Blue was watching the whole process.

"Boss, I'm afraid Big Blue won't fall behind with the 486 computer this time. Do we need to reduce some of the shares of Compaq?"

"Reducing holdings? There is no need. What's the use of Big Blue going crazy now? Why did you go early? Filson, is there anything I don't know about it?" William White looked suspicious. According to IBM's peeing, Then why do 486 so quickly.

"Boss, Compaq's sales target for this year is US$2 billion. Judging from the sales in the first quarter, there is a high possibility that it will be achieved."

William White was also taken aback. US$2 billion is not a small number, it has already entered the threshold of a first-class enterprise.

"It's so powerful, no wonder IBM is going crazy. It's only been a few years, and a company with an investment of 10 million dollars is planning to challenge the market value of 10 billion dollars?"

Filson was slandering, your investment in the past has benefited a lot now, and you can still pretend to be ignorant. It seems that the boss Houhei has learned well.

"Boss, not only that, Compaq has announced to enter the server field."

"Hahaha, let me tell you, Big Blue has been pissed off. If this continues, within ten years, Compaq's market value may approach or surpass them. This is absolutely unbearable."

Hearing what the boss said, Felson was also in a daze for a while. No wonder the boss didn't reduce his holdings. Compaq's ambition is really not small.

"The failure to launch the 386 computer in time was a major decision-making error by Big Blue. In order to protect their minicomputers from impact, hehe, it turns out that they are all fools."

"Speaking of which, Big Blue is also blindly confident. If you don't produce 32-bit personal PCs, why don't you allow others to produce them. Now, minicomputers will not be sold, and mid-sized and mainframes will also face challenges. It’s the rhythm of capsizing. I guess, their board of directors is fighting in various ways, and I hope they can solve the problem sooner.”

Although he said so on his mouth, the smile on his face seemed to be saying, let the tearing be more violent.

William White did not make a mistake in his estimation. If he was not careful, his competitors would already be knocking them on the back of the head. In just a few years, the three guys who were kicked out by Texas Instruments staged a good show of a counterattack.

A group of Wall Street vampires are still spreading various news everywhere. In short, in one sentence, Big Blue is dead, and it will definitely be replaced by Compaq.

In fact, Big Blue should be thankful, since the antitrust dispute broke out in the legendary world. The Chicago School obviously took the initiative, and they were very opposed to government intervention in business activities. As a politician, you should not tell companies what to do, but should provide good services.

If politicians are so versatile, you might as well run a business.

After the Telephone and Telegraph Company was split up, the telecommunications industry in the United States remained unchanged. Investigating the anti-monopoly of the legendary world destroyed the game console industry in the United States and indirectly helped the foot basin a lot.

As for Big Blue, most of their energy was spent entangled with the Ministry of Justice. Any more and a great business would fall apart.

William White, who has become a giant crocodile, of course doesn't like the Keynesian school, you just take care of yourself, why should you reach out to my company. In order to cheer and encourage the Chicago School, the White Foundation has donated a lot of money.

Elephants are essentially anti-Keynesians. After several years of continuous suppression, I finally saw some good changes.

In William White's view, both schools of thought have good propositions, but they are also relatively one-sided. Who the people support actually depends on the propaganda.

Under normal circumstances, NBC always likes to compare Keynes's propositions with Maozi's policies horizontally. In this way, it will only be hell if it has a good reputation, and the people who eat melons are more afraid and uneasy.

Ever since World of Legends encountered an antitrust investigation, William White has spared no effort to block them. The very good thing is that the effect is surprisingly good, and there are even different voices coming out of the donkey party.

"Filson, what did Big Blue think about the operating system?"

"Hehe, although they have some regrets, there is nothing they can do. However, they are unlikely to cooperate with the White system."

"Hey, I didn't rob his wife, why are you so afraid of me? They deserve to die."

Some people have said that you can develop software by yourself, so why care about the views of Big Blue.

Well, William White didn't intend to help Compaq attract firepower, and besides, Intel might not cooperate with him. Don't do all kinds of business, even if you are always in charge of an elephant, you will not want to see one family dominate.

In the software industry, he only needs to rely on Bill Gates to make money. As for hardware, he will produce luxury goods, so he will not compete with Compaq.

William White gloated here, and Big Blue's board of directors finally tore out the results. The personal PC, which has not been valued, has finally been put in a correct position.

The annual sales of two billion US dollars is only for the Compaq family. Adding that kind of miscellaneous brands, at least 3.5 billion a year.

The most frightening thing is not the 3.5 billion. The growth rate of this industry has far exceeded their expectations. If the growth rate maintains the current level, five years later, this will be a huge market exceeding 10 billion.

Investors certainly have reason to be angry, you Big Blue really take it for granted. Compared with this 10 billion market, minicomputers are really nothing. For a small watermelon, he gave up the whole forest.

Bill Gates' ears are a little hot these two days, and the news from IBM has really embarrassed him.

Rubbish, ungrateful, goofy, well, all kinds of nasty words.

Student Bill is going crazy, buddy is already very cooperative with you, okay? If there were no orders from those compatible machine manufacturers, the billionaire dude would have died long ago.

Well, someone made complaints about what happened back then.

Regarding this point, Bill was powerless to complain, he did not win very well. But, you bastards, do you really think William White is easy to bully?

He knew that William White had encouraged Apple and Wang An to jointly develop the operating system. If he really succeeds, you blue giants may be in more trouble than just now.

Back then, Master Qiao made this a joke. Now it seems that William White is a visionary, and he would never hang himself on a tree.

Now a choice must be made, and Bill Gates has discovered that the cooperation between him and Big Blue may have entered the countdown. I believe that it won't take too long, and this kind of cooperation will become history.

Bill Gates needed allies, badly, and he didn't have the guts to bear the wrath of a giant alone.
