Chapter 872 No Blue Giants Can Come Out of the Foot Basin
Looking at the various computers on the table, the corner of William White's mouth twitched. Nima, how come there are so many brands.
"Ahem, boss, these are mainly from the foot basin and Baodao. We also sent people to look at the rabbit country. Those are more like DIY things."
"Haha, Tom, the price is there, and there's nothing you can do about it."
"Boss, this is NEC. They're blowing it up a lot. They're talking about an IBM with a foot basin."
"Hahaha, this is really creative. The feeling IBM gives me is just a flashback. Alas, what can be learned from them."
Looking at the computer keyboard, William White was a little lost. Speaking of which, there are so many words in this world, could it be invented by one person?
How 26 letters are used all over the world, huh, huh, it's really amazing. Well, the richest man obviously ignored the feelings of the people in the foot basin. You are only twenty-six, we have fifty here.
In order to be able to type Japanese with this thing, the foot basin people have wasted a lot of effort. Don't forget, they still have a lot of Chinese characters.
What I want to say here is that the Big Rabbit Country is still very good. If you use the way of Baodao, the popularization of computers must not be as fast as it is now.
So what, wasn't this invented by Matteo Ricci? How did it become the Rabbit Country's own again?
Cough cough, it’s different, Italian missionaries mainly do this for learning Chinese. Just like we use Chinese characters to learn English, we will definitely fall into the ditch.
To learn English, you need to use phonetic symbols, and to learn Chinese, you need to use pinyin. The foot basin people just don't listen to persuasion, their English can only be communicated among the foot basin people, and the ghosts basically rely on guessing.
"Tom, are they doing well? How about the software? Are they doing well, too."
"Boss, the operating system is basically Windows, but the office software is different. The foot basin people use Ichitaro and Hanako."
"Hanako?" William White was a little annoyed. He didn't like horror movies, especially the ones with feet. Since the midnight bell, girls in the foot basin rarely use this name.
"Well, Tom, the name is too common. The developer is not a beggar, is he?"
"I don't know, anyway, Microsoft's office suite is not easy to sell. I also asked Fujita, mainly because I am not used to the input method."
William White is a little envious of Bill Gates, damn, you can become the largest software company in the world if you do it like this, which is unreasonable.
The rubbish is not limited to the Japanese input method, Chinese is also very rubbish. William White doesn't even need to inquire about it, other estimates are enough.
Ichitaro and Hanako, that's not WPS, they sell it quite expensive, not the kind of free use.
Student Bill is also lacking in great virtue, and for no reason wants to let the foot basin people learn one more software.
There is no way around it. Ichitaro and Hanako are mostly used in domestic foot basins, and most of them are from Microsoft abroad. As a result, many people must prepare two versions of the file.
Although the copyright protection awareness of the foot basin is average, there are not many sold throughout the year. Even if it is only a quarter of that of the United States, this is still a huge amount of income.
Piracy?
How to put it this way, it seems to be very common to use the software bought by the company to install it at home.
This habit can no longer be changed, and it is already very kind if it is not copied directly. They rent action movies to watch at home, but they will copy them, and now they just install them.
"The computer is okay, neither good nor bad. Let's put it this way, don't worry about IBM in the United States, Compaq can still PK.
The foot basin people are too arrogant. If they learn from Dell, a bunch of computer companies in the United States will really be over. Learn from IBM, just kidding. "
William White is definitely not talking nonsense. After Gerstner took over, IBM did achieve profitability. Judging by the current posture, it may still soar into the sky.
But, is this still the old IBM?
The answer is obviously no, that IBM is dead. As for the current one, William White prefers to call it New Blue.
Not to mention that NEC failed to learn, even IBM itself has completely given up on the future.
"Well, boss, the current computer companies are a little panicked. Even the stock prices are a little weak. If there is another Toyota or something like that, these companies will really have no way out."
William White sighed secretly, there must be no way out. Without enough industrial workers, nothing you produce is useless.
For capitalists, in today's world, the best workers are in the footbath. Although the wages are not low, the work is hard enough.
As for the big rabbit country, it is not enough now. Like the foot basin, you can't produce very good products at the beginning, it takes a process.
Looking back, the products of the foot basin in the 1950s and 1960s can be called crude. Toyota was the first to engage in air-jet looms, while Honda only modified tricycles.
At the beginning, there was no Camry and Accord. This is the accumulation of the previous decades. Strictly speaking, if it weren't for the US emperor to stand still, the foot basin would not have much chance.
"By the way, Tom, is there a release date for Windows 95? The patching isn't over yet."
"It doesn't seem to be there yet. This thing is not as stable as version 3.1, and it often blue screens. It's been a toss lately. The group of boys downstairs are changing back and forth, reinstalling the system all day long."
"Damn it, those guys are free enough. I don't work with my salary, and I just toss around all day long. If it doesn't work, just uninstall it."
Fat Tom's face darkened, of course he didn't dare to quibble. These guys are actually working overtime at night, so they don't take advantage of the boss, at most they waste a little electricity.
"Well, it's easy to use, much easier to use than 3.1, but it's just unstable. After installing the 3.1 system back, I can't stand it within two days."
Well, William White didn't know what to say. In fact, he is the same here. Except for code words, he will not use that 3.1 system.
Alas, it's a pity that IBM's operating system is actually quite good, so it just gave up. From this perspective, just because the software is good does not mean that you will be successful.
Enterprises like IBM are on the street, so what can you do with NEC. If there is such a day, Miguo's father will also take care of you.
Just kidding, how could such an important thing not be in your own hands.
Ignoring the YY of the foot basin man, William White decided to go home. It's been a bit of a wave recently, so I'd better go back and make up for it.
Not to mention, the two in the family are better at serving people, and the others are the same as spider spirits.
"Husband, drink it quickly, teal duck stewed with Cordyceps, the child is so old, why are you still like this?"
"Ahem, what, honey, am I planning to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?"
Pfft, little beauty Jiaxin couldn't stop laughing. You can talk about it casually, and you want to go out for a while, but you still have to find such a lousy excuse. If you go out to inquire, who will treat you like a pig.
"Hmph, don't pretend to be the last, you're really a pig."
"Hahaha, actually, it's not bad to be a pig. I heard that there is a kind of pig that eats and sleeps, and then that. Not to mention the comfortable life, I heard that there are people who help when there is such a thing."
The little beauty Jiaxin rolled her eyes at this guy, and helped him add another bowl. Every time he persuaded him, this guy was just making jokes.
Well, forget it, she doesn't want to meddle in men's affairs. Speaking of it, it's still my own belly. That Natasha, such a big belly is useless, she just gave birth to a little girl.
William White was relatively strict with her son, but she didn't care much. If you really let it go. Instead, she would be restless.
