Chapter 719 The Collapsed Giant
Looking at the dilapidated Jurassic Park, William White felt a little bit pained. After the storm, this was the first time he had landed on the island.
"Oh my god, it's horrible, such thick trees have been uprooted."
Seeing the surprised expressions of the two beauties, William White couldn't help laughing. His place is not the hardest-hit area at all, well, Arizona is even worse, and dozens of people have died.
What? Not many died.
Heck, the population density is different. If this hurricane is in Mumbai, huh, huh, this data can't be counted at all.
Natural disasters are range attacks, and the greater your population density, the greater your losses. As for prevention in advance, this simply does not exist. Hurricanes are actually okay, as long as you are not outdoors, it is usually not a big problem.
There is no good way to deal with tornadoes. Even in later generations, the possibility of early warning is very small. Building a stronger safe room is actually more reliable than anything else.
"Master, the workers have already arrived on the island. This time, they are all workers hired by Foot Basin and Rabbit Country."
"Hehe, whatever you want, black buddies don't want to work anyway. The hurricanes come here every year, so I'd better find some reliable people."
"Yeah, these bastards don't care about half-tightening the bolts. How do they grow their brains?"
"Hehe, I can't say that. If I say it, it's discrimination. My God, well, I can't afford to serve these uncles."
William White is very angry, of course there is a reason. It's okay if the house blows down, the big deal is to rebuild it. The two of them almost died, which is really hateful.
Well, William White has some preconceived ideas, and it may not be the responsibility of the black buddies. In short, it is an indisputable fact that the builders here in the United States are irresponsible.
Of course, not only did they face huge claims, but they also lost their eligibility to build forever. For this matter, all industries under William White began to investigate, hehe, don’t say it, you don’t know if you don’t check it, and you will be shocked if you check it.
Inspecting and rebuilding is actually very nonsense, this guy just took two beauties to relax. Who inspected and rebuilt the yacht, aren't you delaying the matter?
William White licked his face to find comfort. As for the reconstruction here, the foot basin people will definitely complete it very well. The environment where they live is terrible, either earthquake or typhoon, how to build the house, they are very professional.
After more than half a month of waves at sea, William White finally returned to his lair in Los Angeles. The turmoil with the donkey, he, the client, did not speak, so it naturally subsided during this period of time.
William White was very sure that with the lesson learned this time, they definitely understood what William White meant. Well, it doesn't matter about other things, as for the media and entertainment, you guys should give it a try. My buddies will never die with you.
"Boss, Intel's P5 is officially released. The market response is quite good. It's just that IBM is still hesitant."
"Hehe, a loss of 5 billion dollars a year, Filson, everyone said that I was a prodigal, William White. Look, the blue giant is a model of a prodigal. Tsk tsk, 5 billion dollars, how many Boeing 747s are these Ah, how did these bastards lose money?"
"Boss, I heard that there is going to be a coaching change. A president of American Express, yes, a guy named Gerstner."
"Gerstner? Yes, I know this guy. By the way, Felson, keep an eye on IBM's stock price."
"Boss, changing a CEO will not solve IBM's problems."
"Hehe, you're wrong, Filson. If this person is cultivated by IBM itself, it will be useless at all. If the board of directors decides to hire an outsider, what do you think they plan to do first?"
"Layoffs." Felson is indeed worthy of being the chief think tank. As soon as William White opened his mouth, he immediately figured out the cause and effect. Yes, IBM is not like a family business at all. The current CEO has no personnel power at all. Not to mention streamlining the organization, he will also face many constraints if he changes positions.
The most interesting thing is that his technicians and executives are all cultivated by the company itself. You think about it, the crowd around you are all acquaintances, to put it bluntly, some of them watched you grow up. Who are you going to kick out of the company?
"Yes, if 70% of the employees are kicked out, IBM will soon make a profit. Not to mention that their products are very good, even their software and technology departments can support Big Blue."
"Seventy percent?" Filson was dumbfounded. If he did this, tens of thousands of people would lose their jobs. Besides, these compensations.
"Boss, the amount of compensation may be more than its annual loss last year. Does Gerstner really have the courage?"
"Filson, in your eyes, is five billion really a lot? I dare say that the five billion in your eyes is completely different from the five billion in Tom's eyes.
If the company managed by Tom loses 5 billion, this guy will be able to lie down immediately. And these five billion may be just a set of numbers to you. The stock price hasn't changed much, the company's growth prospects are still healthy, and you don't care about this number. "
Filson didn't feel anything at first, he really lost five billion, and his head would probably be too big. But on second thought, that's really the case. This year's World of Legends and Vikings suffered a huge loss. Isn't he just as calm.
"Boss, it seems to be a little bit. Could it be that I am not suitable for managing enterprises?"
"Hahaha, what does Gerstner do? He's a financier. What do you count as billions of dollars? How much does American Express make in a year? If you lose blood this year, you can make money next year.
The advantage of professional managers is that they don't care about the world. If they want to make a company profitable quickly, they have a million ways. "
"I know the boss, and I will let the investment department keep an eye on them. Once news of layoffs comes out, their stock prices will definitely drop sharply."
"By the way, at this moment, you give me all the money. Hahaha, Lao Guo, I am very optimistic about you. Don't let me down." William White licked his dry lips. Felson's hair stood on end.
The young boss in front of him looked like a prehistoric beast that would choose someone to devour.
Speaking of IBM, it's really aggrieved. The full name of the overwhelming personal PCs is IBM compatible machines.
Companies that set industry standards can actually lose $5 billion. The sudden explosion of the mine frightened Peanutton.
Listen to what NBC said, borrowing anti-monopoly to attack competitors, which violates the principle of fair competition. If things go on like this, there will no longer be great companies in the United States.
Well, people in the industry know NBC is bullshitting. So what without IBM, didn't Compaq and Dell appear? Without antitrust laws, these two companies simply would not exist.
That's right, how many people in the industry can have. What the general public thinks is more important.
Conspiracy theories, in fact, have a market everywhere. This is especially true for the media sector.
You say that IBM's organization is overstaffed and overstaffed. No one will read this kind of news. You say these are conspiracies and tricks, that makes a big difference. The most ironic thing is that the antitrust investigation against IBM has just ended not long ago.
Hehe, NBC now jumps out to take the rhythm, who dares to say that there is no story behind it.
A company with a market capitalization of tens of billions has lost half of its share price now. Whoever dares to jump out now, believe it or not, those shareholders will tear you to pieces.
Seeing IBM's huge losses, the only one who was happier was Lao Wang's son. Wang An Computer has been bullied by IBM for so many years, now, is that bastard finally going to die?
