Chapter 519 Another Step Ahead
How William White calculated Bill's classmates, I will skip it here for the time being. White Systems announced in a high-profile manner that a breakthrough has been made in the research and development of 16 megabytes of memory, and the company will achieve mass production within this year.
People who eat melons may not understand the meaning, but the IT industry understands it too well. With large-capacity memory, video accelerator cards will usher in a small explosion, and the computing speed of personal PCs will also have an essential leap.
Don't be surprised, the bottleneck restricting the development of computers is no longer the CPU. The capacity of memory and hard disk is the biggest problem right now.
At the same time, the four-star group located in Bangzi Country is looking gloomy and gloomy. Yes, they fell behind again, and while spending a lot of money, went straight to leaps and bounds.
However, the scientific and technological foundation of the United States is not comparable to that of Smecta.
The release of the Windows 3.0 system greatly stimulated the personal PC market. Compaq and Dell have also launched new consoles in due course.
Of course, Big Blue is still moving slowly, and Apple is still sleepwalking. And Wang An Computer, as always, is still complacent.
Faced with this 16-megabyte memory technology, the foot basin people are also very speechless. Once upon a time, you couldn't figure out a trillion. It's only been a few days, and we need to rely on your technology instead.
The only good news is that we also invested in this company, otherwise, the loss would be too great.
"William, now that you have this memory, won't the 3D accelerator card skip tickets?"
Faced with Jobs' complaints, William White could only smile wryly. Dude has worked very hard, well, if this thing is made by Apple, you may not be able to get it in three years.
"Old Joe, my scientists are the best. In fact, engineering cards have already appeared, and we are developing the corresponding 3D engine."
"Oh, let me see." Jobs was not polite, well, this arrogant guy doesn't know how to write polite.
William White shook his head and smiled wryly: "Hehe, look, it's the computer with the hood open, don't mention it."
"Tch, the one who likes to steal things, that guy's name is Bill."
William White thought to himself, you are not much better. At this time, seeing Microsoft's prosperity, Xerox may have gone crazy.
"Fuck, is this specially used for playing games?"
"Old Joe, there is a problem with your concept. First, I am testing games. Second, don't you think that only games need the most advanced computers?"
"Nonsense, of course the graphics processor is the most demanding, you know, it's cool to use a computer to simulate 3D graphics."
"Oh, well, you won. I and I are pursuing different things. You are chasing dreams, and I am chasing wealth."
Although Jobs disapproved of William White's words, he also sighed secretly. Yes, dreams and wealth, which one is more important.
What people said is very straightforward, no matter how expensive your graphics processor is, it is useless. Anyway, it's pretty niche stuff.
Look at the current PC market, isn't that the case? Not to mention his small company, even Big Blue and Apple, were beaten out of breath in the same way.
"William, you should buy a PC maker. Personally, I think Apple would be a good choice."
"Hehe, to be honest, I've thought about it, but it's not the best time right now. The opponent is too powerful, and there are many obstacles for me."
"Tsk, yes, if you continue to develop like this, it is impossible for the Ministry of Justice to turn a blind eye."
Jobs still has feelings for Apple, and his current mentality is very contradictory. I don't want to see this company go down, but I don't want to see it take off.
Of course, if William White acquires this company, he is very sure that he is quite competitive for the position of CEO.
He is very clear about William White's character, and he is quite fond of those who are capable. A hostile takeover of Oracle could kick Larry Ellison out. He can also hire this guy with a high salary to return. He still admires this kind of mind and courage.
"CD player? What is it, what company made it, and how much is it?"
"Boss, it is said that William White fiddled with it when he had nothing to do. Although this is a beta version, there is no problem. As for the price, this software is free and can be downloaded and purchased at will on NBC Online. Office suits will also be given away for free.”
Listening to the report of his subordinates, Bill Gates felt pain in his egg. His previous plan was that this should be a product of some studio, and it was directly incorporated. His 3.1 system will add these multimedia functions.
It's different now, including William White?
Just kidding, he worries all the time that he will be included. This is why the two have talked for so long.
Look at the oracle bone inscriptions right now, isn't it just included by this guy? Bill Gates' goals are very ambitious, and he doesn't want to be a little brother.
"Go and notify the legal department for a meeting."
"Okay, boss."
Bill Gates is very aware of William White's style. With so many properties in his hands, how could he be free. Not to mention him, even myself, I seldom write source code myself.
People plan to sell this player software, so it cannot be included with your operating system. This involves the relationship of fair competition, which is not so easy to break through.
Doing business in the United States is such nonsense. Why do you rarely see any hypermarkets in urban areas? Not because the rent is expensive.
It’s okay for you to open a hypermarket, if it hits the surrounding convenience stores. You can't continue to open this store because it is suspected of unfair competition.
McDonald's can operate 24 hours in China, and can also sell breakfast part-time. If you try it in the United States, you will definitely be sued for bankruptcy. The reason is very simple, what business do you do, just keep doing it, don't try to play cross-border. Especially that kind of group company.
A small new product release has triggered various ideas in the IT industry. I have to say that there are really many smart people.
They now finally understand why William White must engage in dynamic memory. If this thing is not in his hands, there will definitely be problems with his cost control.
It's all right now, not only did he succeed, but he also took the initiative back again.
"What, a third-party supplier? We have them. Go directly to NEC and UMC, and try to fool them. It is impossible to give them this item."
"Hehe, I know the boss, they are just a temptation."
"Didn't they sell the equipment very well? Do they know how much trouble those sticks have caused us? Well, tell Micron that the sticks have been successfully developed, and they can go directly to buy the assembly line. "
"Okay, boss, I see."
Filson shook his head and left, saying that beating people doesn't slap people in the face, but his boss really has a personality, he only slaps people in the face.
