Chapter 726: Very Tangled
Facing a very childish boss, Filson could only persuade him earnestly. William White may have many shortcomings, but one thing is that he has always been very generous to his own people.
As for temper tantrums, that's actually fine. After so many years with William White, he really doesn't have many chances to lose his temper. In other words, he is unlikely to let his subordinates see him lose his composure.
"Filson, have you calculated how much compensation will be paid for IBM's layoffs?"
"At least 6 billion US dollars, plus some other losses. In more extreme cases, it may be close to 10 billion."
"So much?" William White was also taken aback by hearing what Felson said. Nima, the level of this prodigal, directly crushed the richest man into scum.
"Well, there is no doubt that there will be a deficit of more than 10 billion yuan throughout the year. Boss, their stock prices actually have room to fall."
"Then don't buy it all at once. I'm not a short-term investment anyway. Let's do it in five years. I hope the money can double in five years."
"Boss, I don't know much about the IT industry. The patents in their hands are really so powerful."
"Ha, let me tell you this, from the CPU to the memory, from the floppy drive to the hard drive. Everything you see in a personal PC, they have the best technology.
Filson, I really don't know how Compaq and Dell managed to overtake on the curve, it's actually a miracle. "
"Yeah, they originally named it IBM Compatible Machine, but it seems that they don't talk about it now, and maybe they want to do something of their own."
"That's right, it's not appropriate to sell their shares now. It is estimated that there is still a lot of room for growth. IBM's stock, let's buy it at a low price. The valuation below 30 billion is actually very cheap."
Seeing that he had convinced the boss, Filson took his leave and left. It is true that the boss is optimistic about IBM, and the upward trend of Compaq and Dell is also obvious. It is obviously not appropriate to sell now.
Wall Street was also a little dumbfounded by IBM's big layoffs. As for ordinary people, it is even more at a loss. Ever since, the brick house appeared in time.
"The exorbitant welfare system kills the enthusiasm of the employees. That country club is simply extravagant."
Hahaha, watching the foaming guy on the TV show, William White couldn't stop laughing.
Nima, it's just a country club, if it's all wrong, come to my company and have a look.
Sure enough, the audience in the audience didn't buy it very much. Cut, what's wrong with the employee benefits, the gap between them and the legendary world is not a star at all. Your club is in the country, and the legendary world's is in the city center.
Well, when it comes to the legendary world, Brick's face will be very dark. If you compare it to a guy who makes money more easily than drinking water, it's a tragedy at all.
When encountering such a problem, the brick family can only talk about him.
Nima, can we still have a pleasant chat? William White did this because he had too much money. If he didn't spend the money, he would have to pay taxes.
In William White's view, IBM was killed by the Ministry of Justice, which is beyond doubt.
Of course, it is obviously inappropriate to say that these are all wrong. If IBM is allowed to expand, it is hard to say whether Apple will appear, and Microsoft must be stillborn. And that Compaq and Dell probably won't show up either.
The blue giant is engaged in internal circulation, what are you guys doing?
It is really joyful to attack IBM in the name of IBM compatible machine. If it weren't for the containment of the Ministry of Justice, IBM would not have found an opponent for itself.
As for Bill Gates, who do you think the 300,000 people in IBM are. When it comes to programming and software, Microsoft will be seen in the eyes.
"Boss, Mr. Lucas is here."
"Hey, why is this old guy free? Just let him in." William White was very curious, isn't this guy messing with Spielberg in a movie.
"George, what brings you here."
Lucas was stunned, this is the way of greeting in some country.
"Ahem, a hurricane in the Bahamas."
"Damn, can we still have a pleasant chat, isn't that hurricane last time called George?"
"Cut, don't talk about that, why are there so few special effects in Mission: Impossible, this doesn't suit your style."
"God, you don't know about the economic downturn. Besides, some people have already said that I am selling special effects. Where can I go to be reasonable? The special effects company is not ours. How about Lucas? Can you buy a share?"
George Lucas' sweetheart, how could this old guy sell his shares. William White is obviously running on this product.
"What, the latest movie was a toss-up, and Spielberg made it for free. How about a little sponsorship."
"Oh, I'm also quite confused. The script is very good. Let's put it this way, I don't plan to watch this movie. It will make me very uncomfortable. To be honest, that period of history is indeed too dark."
"Well, I can understand that Spielberg is having a meltdown right now. You may not know that many directors have declined this script."
"You mean Roman Polanski? If I remember correctly, he should be of Jewish descent. The movie will not be filmed in the United States. What is he worried about? The FBI has no way to catch him."
"Maybe it's not this factor, maybe like you, he can't face this history. You have to know, he is still a survivor."
What the two were talking about was naturally the Schindler's List. Lucas who sponsors Shenma is bullshit. Even if the movie loses money, investors won't care.
"George, why didn't Paramount release it? It really can't, Fox is not bad. You know, they are all their own people, so it shouldn't be offensive if I say that?"
When it comes to these guys, William White is still very careful when speaking. It's normal that he can't figure it out a little bit, Universal is now a foot basin person, and your operations this time around are really miraculous.
"I don't know. The things here are too complicated. I don't know. Maybe I don't want to make money, just find a publisher."
Although the old guy was talking nonsense, William White didn't mean to get to the bottom of it. Redstone and Murdoch, if they also plan to care about this, they will probably be regarded as traitors.
Lucas came here, of course, to know about the shooting plan of Mission: Impossible. White Pictures has a Mr. and Mrs. Smith's spy movie ahead, and of course no one doubts the quality of this Mission: Impossible.
"Lucas, I'm planning to make a series. Now there is a problem. It is impossible for me to sign such a long-term contract. Six years is the limit for three films. How can I change it later and write the protagonist directly?"
Lucas was also taken aback. He didn't expect that William White was actually thinking about six years later.
"It's okay to write dead, right? Isn't that what my Star Wars is like. Besides, you made that little fresh meat famous."
William White waved his hand, "George, favors are favors, and business is business. Besides, those brokers are easy to deal with."
"If it doesn't work, let's change. Brother Cruise is already a top-tier movie star, so of course it won't be so easy to communicate."
"That's right, I'm thinking about it. You've seen the script. This movie is actually the American version of 007, and looks are the key."
"Haha, I can't help you with this. If you shoot it yourself, there probably won't be any problem."
William White gave this old guy a blank look. He was just playing for tickets, and he didn't have any acting skills there.
