Chapter 819 The European Friends Are Angry
"Boss, the negotiations in Rabbit Country have failed. They are more optimistic about Bell Labs' DSL."
"Hans, what are you talking about? It's just a laboratory thing. Is it comparable to our Siemens?"
Hans is also very painful, and the conversation is almost the same. Who would have known that such a thing would happen suddenly.
"Boss, they have already promoted it in Xiangjiang. With the price unchanged, the speed has increased a lot. The most important thing is that they don't need a dedicated line. There is no problem at all when making calls while surfing the Internet."
"Are you sure? Hans, they didn't just promote it casually."
"Boss, I just confirmed with my colleagues in Xiangjiang. The performance of international lines is average, but as long as the server is in Xiangjiang, the speed is very fast.
The most important point, whether you send a fax or make a phone call, it will not be affected at all. Boss, we must have such a technology, otherwise, the equipment in the mobile computer room will also be affected. "
Siemens' problem, Alcatel's too. Not to mention customers in Asia, Europe is at a standstill here.
Nima, your stuff is obviously not good. If I spend a lot of money to upgrade it, it may only last for a year.
Bell Labs authorized Cisco, so customers have to think about it when purchasing. So what, are you reliable with this thing? If it doesn't work, wouldn't I just buy a bunch of junk and come back.
"Boss, is this a monopoly?"
"Asshole, did he say he won't let us produce? Did he say he wouldn't authorize us?"
"No, no, but Cisco is now a private company."
"So what? My God, can he change this lab to Cisco? Don't talk about it, this needs to be done by the top. Damn, what the hell is our lab doing?"
"Boss, this invention was completely an accident. They did it many years ago. At that time, they wanted to make on-demand TV, but they really didn't expect it to be used on the Internet."
"Hehe, I want to know now, what else is in this Bell Labs?
Damn, should have bought it in the first place. "
It has to be said that the wave played by William White is indeed very hated.
It doesn't matter if you lose a list. If I have a good relationship with you, I will buy Airbus. When the relationship with the U.S. emperor eased, he helped Boeing. The truth is actually the same, and it is more of a game.
It's different now, it's true that you and I have a good relationship, but you can't fool me, this thing is about to be phased out, and you're giving it to me, it's really nonsense.
If the professionalism is questioned, there may be a chance to explain. For example, last time the bastard was a temporary worker, this time we sent the technical director over.
It is not good to be questioned about integrity, this is the rhythm of a complete overturn.
Asia is currently developing at a high speed, and the use of communications and computers is basically in sync with Europe. In other words, it is still ahead in some aspects.
Don't be surprised, take Rabbit Country as an example, there are not many computers with 8-bit processors here, and there are not many 16-bit processors. Compaq and IBM PC, were the most common computers of this time.
Everyone has different consumption concepts. Europeans think that enough is enough. People in Rabbit Country believe that if you fall behind, you will be beaten.
Spending so much money to buy something doesn't mean that you will scrap it within two years. Putting it on the Internet is even more different. Since the prices are similar, of course we want the best.
What? You said ISDN is better than DSL.
Cough cough, that's it, let's talk next time.
Basically, the Germans are very honest. Not as good as you is not as good as you, there is no shame in it, just try to catch up. It would be boring to lie to one's ears and steal one's bell. It would be an international joke.
"Yes, why not? The market is so big that one company can afford it."
"Boss, Cisco has obvious advantages."
"Hahaha, Filson, you said that the advantage is obvious, if you lose all this, then there is really nothing to say.
Bell Labs only sells patents and doesn't care about other things. Most importantly, the technology is with us.
If the whole world uses DSL, then our advantage will be even greater in the next generation of Internet access.
Besides, the Europeans are impatient. I have a lot of business in Europe and don't want to be persona non grata. "
"Okay, boss, I will arrange for them to negotiate." Filson actually wanted to say, is there anyone in Europe who welcomes you?
Disneyland, the Gallic rooster is so angry. For the sake of the milk company and Landmark, John Bull was blacked out again. As for the Germans, you gave them a hard knife in terms of digital mobile communication specifications.
Filson really guessed right, and the European friends were very angry. Don't talk about fighting the US emperor, damn, you can't even fight a private laboratory.
The most depressing thing is that the richest man is obviously absent-minded.
What, authorization? Okay, let me tell you earlier, this thing is not high-tech. As for the conditions, it is as good as Cisco.
The negotiations went extremely smoothly, and even those that went smoothly were somewhat perfunctory. This strange result really made a group of bigwigs very depressed.
What you care so much about is really just a gadget. Look at that high-spirited guy, people are talking about Star Trek now.
Is there really such a big gap?
Nonsense, this is a hint of the heart. Well, there are still many good things here. It's okay to make a fortune together, don't cheat me. My buddy only earns a little patent fee, which is already too hard.
You see, making rockets is really expensive.
"Hello, Mr. White, can you introduce this rocket factory?"
"Of course, Warren, you can call me William, that's what all my friends call me." Since Warren Buffett is interested in asking, of course he doesn't care.
"Well, William, what are these? They look very strange."
"You say this? It's a solar array, to improve sunlight harvesting. About, about a million reflectors. I think this factory will be free from conventional electricity."
"Solar energy?"
"Yeah, don't underestimate this thing. Our current solar technology is actually rubbish. Most of the sunlight is not used.
Through this solar array, the utilization rate can be effectively improved. This is not the most important thing. We have made breakthroughs in the collection of sunlight and the storage of electricity. "
Buffett is now very sure that this kid is definitely not abnormal. Maybe his rocket factory really has something to do. As for this solar energy, it seems to be very interesting.
"William, the electricity generated by the solar array must not be cheap, right?"
"Of course, you don't want to know his price. However, as a trial, it is very necessary.
Our world really cannot carry such a large population. Whether it is coal or oil, it is always limited. Maybe fifty years, maybe a hundred years, it will disappear one day.
The sun rises on time every day. We hope that through our efforts, the cost can be reduced to about four times. "
Buffett nodded, and William White didn't say how much electricity per kilowatt-hour is now. What he said is that it may be several times more expensive in the future.
However, there is no problem with this. If it can be realized, this kind of clean energy is still very good. He has also figured it out now. When people go to the desert to build rockets, they don't just consider safety issues.
Yeah, Nevada, is a sunny place. There is nothing else on the land but sand.
However, such a place is an excellent choice whether it is to engage in solar energy or rockets.
