Chapter 720 The Old Guy Is Very Bad
Old Wang's son obviously thought a little too much. If the blue giant is really planted, Peanut will be impatient.
In fact, IBM is very profitable. Regardless of the failure of the mainframe, just the technical support department, IBM's profit is close to 2 billion US dollars.
From personal PCs to the latest ThinkPad laptops, Big Blue's quality is as good as ever.
Actually, Felson kind of wants IBM to go out of business. If there is such a day, the boss will definitely make a move. As for the reason, this is very simple. The boss does not want to see their stocks, but they have been using IBM computers.
Before the appearance of this ThinkPad, the boss did not use laptops. As soon as the Big Blue came out, he immediately purchased a batch. These high-level executives in the company all use this kind of computer.
Since I like it so much, I don't buy its stocks. This can only explain one problem, the boss does not like the current management, but is very optimistic about their technology and production department. If this kind of company enters bankruptcy protection, it would be strange if the boss does not take action.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lei Shidong, now Paramount belongs to you." Lei Shidong, whose face was full of age spots, felt aggrieved now. The acquisition that could have been done for 8 billion dollars has now cost almost 9 billion dollars.
Alas, there is a prodigal woman who can't make it through this day. No, the money must be saved, and that damned William White, you wait for me.
Actually, the old guy should be grateful. If it wasn't for avoiding suspicion, William White even planned to support his wife with some lawyers.
To be honest, this woman has lost a lot. If she divorces Lei Shidong now, her benefits will definitely be maximized. You want to boil this old boy to death, hehe, and some will wait.
"About Spielberg and Cameron? And George Lucas. Hehe, old guy, you have a really good vision."
"Young master, the old guy is very bad, and he intends to fight against the court just now, and his confidence is not ordinary."
"Xiaohu, it's natural, if you play in theaters, if you don't know that content is king, he might have turned into a dog long ago.
But, things are not that simple, Lucas is rich and powerful now, so he may not care about him. As for Spielberg, he is basically a young man, even if he is Jewish, if you don't have a good script, he won't make a move.
Hehe, Xiaohu, the old guy is demonstrating. He spent hundreds of millions more, and his liver is probably shaking. "
"No wonder, this guy didn't take over the company immediately, but went to those big directors. Young master, if you take action against him now, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence."
"Hehe, this old bastard, I'm sure I won't do anything. Alas, a seventy-year-old guy can still be so tenacious. Xiaohu, master, I can't do it. It's alright, let him make a fuss .”
Although relaxed on the surface, there is still some discomfort. This dumb person suffers a lot, about the same as that old bastard.
If Lei Shidong knew what this guy was thinking, he would definitely pounce on him and kill him. His meeting was more of a courtesy. You William White cheated him hundreds of millions.
If you say that you have made a profit yourself, the old guy has nothing to say. For the sake of profit, no one should talk about those who have what is not. The problem is that you didn't, you just dug holes on purpose from beginning to end.
Meanwhile, a bunch of Hollywood moguls are pretty disappointed. They have already set up the small stools, and they plan to watch the two fight. Nima, there are several meanings without the following. William White has already returned to Los Angeles, how could he not respond at all.
William White liked watching monkey shows, but he didn't have the consciousness to be a monkey. Twenty-year-old capable and unscrupulous, but now he can't. The so-called high-ranking person should not have charged forward.
Actually, the old guy should talk to Time Warner. If the two of them form an alliance, William White will really have some headaches.
What? Murdoch?
William White didn't worry about Fox, the two old guys were equally rigid and mean. However, in terms of attitudes towards money, there are two completely different people.
Although they are all stingy, Lei Shidong is willing to spend a lot of money on film investment. He is just mean to his family and employees.
Murdoch is different. To put it bluntly, his focus is on print media and news. Just look at the company name, it clearly says News Corporation.
Lei Shidong actually didn't know that William White was happy to see his joining. His NBC and White Media are too big, if there are not a few decent opponents, it would be no wonder that Peanutton can rest assured.
Good guy, if you dare to play tricks in the mid-term elections, you will naturally do it in the general election. If this hits the street, where can I go to reason.
This is the reason why the donkey is making a lot of noise inside. William White is not an elephant, which is obviously a force that can be won. He has such a close relationship with the Bush family, didn't he make a move during the general election?
You can see from this point that William White doesn't really care who is the boss of your two families. That's all right now, what about the midterm elections, then, Bill, give me an opinion.
"Tom, is this Compaq's latest computer?" Seeing this fat man pushing a flatbed cart, William White wanted to laugh. Nima, you are almost as wide as the car.
"Yes, boss, this is their most high-end model. It cancels the 5.25-inch floppy drive, configures an optical drive, and has a 3D accelerator card."
"Not bad, not bad, put it on and have a look, by the way, have you tried digital video?"
"Yes, but the clarity is not good, a quarter of the window is barely enough, if it is full screen, the particles are too obvious."
"Well, Bell Labs is working hard, at most three months, they will have something to come up with."
"Boss, is that MPEG stupid? If there are two standards, they may not win."
"Two? I'm afraid it's more than three, at least three. I received news here that Suomi is also formulating relevant standards. There is also Philips, which has also failed to negotiate with us. Either join MPEG or do it yourself."
"Damn, if this goes on, I'm afraid there won't be any unified standards."
William White looked at Tom with a smile, quite disapprovingly.
"Boss, am I wrong?"
"Oh, yes, yes, but that's not the point. Tom, we're free, that's not the most important thing. We're still an open system. All members have the same rights.
If you think about it, Suomi knows that this standard is very important, and Philips also thinks it is very important. As a content provider, why do you think that Hollywood giants don't care about this standard.
Think about it, how Suomi's video recorder lost to Panasonic. Could it be that Suomi's technology is not better than Panasonic's? "
"Yeah, boss, this is the weirdest part. Suomi's clarity wins, why did they lose?"
"It's very simple, the content provider doesn't want too clear pictures. You are all watching the video at home, are there still audiences in my cinema?
For content providers, the best viewing effect should be in theaters, followed by TV broadcasts, and finally videotapes. If there is something that disappears after one look, they must be very happy. "
"I know, Hollywood giants should boycott this digital video, at least they won't support it."
"Yeah, unfortunately it's too late. The Rabbit Country has produced a VCD, which uses an MPEG1 format. It is said that the viewing effect is similar to that of a video recorder. Wait a minute, I've already sent people to buy it."
Tom's face was full of disbelief, you can't be mistaken, how could this thing be made by Rabbit Country.
"Well, boss, they probably won't give you copyright fees." William White wanted to scold his mother now, but could he still have a pleasant chat.
