Reborn American Tycoon

"Tch, I'm not afraid to say it in person."
Today's meeting is a bit weird, William White really doesn't know, if you Bill Gates wants to see me, just go to Los Angeles directly, why let Old Joe help you make an appointment.
If it had been a year earlier, the meeting of these three guys would definitely have disturbed many people.As for now, it doesn't really matter.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the era of Jobs is over.
"Bill, you are planning to recruit Jobs." William White said jokingly.
"My temple is too small, if you are willing to incorporate it, he might be quite happy." Bill Gates was a little disapproving.
"Tch, if he is willing to help others, I don't mind."
"I mind, enough of you Wall Street bastards." Jobs looked aggrieved.
"Hey, old Joe, the position is different, and the angle of looking at the problem is naturally different. Markkula is not bad."
When William White said this, Jobs was speechless. In principle, it is really a tragedy for him and Markkula to come to this point.In fact, with such a strong personality, it is very difficult for anyone to get along with her.
"Tell me, Bill, what are you going to do?"
Bill Gates' purpose is of course very clear, you have split up so many companies, if one of them is engaged in the operating system, then he will be in big trouble.
"Let's put it this way, Bill, I wouldn't be working on an operating system if you weren't working on office software. In fact, if it weren't for those assholes in the Department of Justice, I would have done it a long time ago."
"Okay, then it's a deal. If, I say if, will you sell the office software?"
"No, but if you plan to participate in the shares, I can also give up the management rights."
"you sure?"
"My mind is on business software, and the database is the focus."
"Okay, it's a deal."
"it is good."
Bill Gates was not worried about William White fooling him. In fact, he saw the changes in White's software, so he planned to go straight to it.If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't have enough money now, he probably wants to get office software right away.
As for William White, he believes that this is a win-win situation, and it is definitely better than Bill Gates starting from scratch.It is better to join forces than to fight against each other, so as to make the company bigger and stronger.
In fact, Bill Gates believes that William White and Jobs are actually the same as him.The most notable common feature is that they all have a strong desire to control.
As for the incorporation mentioned by William White, this matter will not happen to them.If he is willing to choose to live with it, why would Jobs leave Apple.
"Bill, is your final version out yet?"
"It's almost this month. If there are no loopholes, it will be released before the end of the year."
William White couldn't help curling his lips secretly, he was afraid of loopholes, aren't you the king of patching?It must be that you haven't finished the goods yet.
But then again, don't tell the truth about many things. If you say it directly, you will have no friends to do it.
"You just copied it, is it so troublesome?"
Well, there's one guy who obviously doesn't think the way William White thinks.William White felt a little sympathetic to Markkula. It was a tortoise's measure that this guy could endure it for so long.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, William White hurried out to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing between the two of you, one is a closed internal loop, the other is open, this is the essential difference, and customers have no choice, why bother to fight?"
The two stayed together, Master Qiao remembered William White's suggestion back then, and then looked at Bill Gates opposite, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, you put it so simply, how could Apple let others use the system.Besides, whether other companies are willing or not is still a question.
Of course Bill Gates also wanted to understand, no wonder Jobs didn't care too much.It's not that he is about to leave Apple, it's that the two companies are facing different customer groups.
In fact, Master Qiao should have some meaning of being happy to see it happen.Today's Macintosh computers can be regarded as rushing to the grandma's house.In a sense, Windows continues the life of the graphical operating system.
After figuring out this joint, Bill Gates will stop talking nonsense. If you want to complain, just complain. This buddy is helping you prove yourself.
Although the meeting of the three of them was not enjoyable, it also opened up some things.Speaking of which, except for William White who has nothing to do, the two guys are indeed very busy.
Of course, William White didn't mean to keep him. Eating with Jobs was like tossing his stomach.This guy, why don't you learn well, but you want to learn from Ah San. If you can eat well after being a vegetarian, everyone will line up to become a monk.
William White knew that Intel was about to release 80386 here, and when this thing came out, a graphical user interface would be born.
At that time, the DOS system may be abandoned. The moment that Master Qiao is looking forward to is indeed coming, but it is a pity that the guy who started all this has no way to wait for that moment after all.
How about saying that Jobs was a tragic figure, but when he rose again, he was again killed by a serious illness.No matter how successful it is, the left and right are just a handful of loess.
The great philanthropy came to an end, and William White returned to Los Angeles. He had spent a lot of money recently, and he planned to make some money from somewhere else.
The Pretty Woman has also been completed, and now it is necessary to start the follow-up operation.After this period of cooperation, Sophie also began to mature slowly, and that young girl seemed to be gone forever.
"Boss, how did the talk go?"
"It's okay, you still have to keep an eye on Microsoft. This guy has no credibility. Although he said he won't develop office software, he doesn't have any contract."
Tom couldn't help complaining secretly, Boss, you have enough troubles now, where can you write about this kind of thing?If the Ministry of Justice learns, it will definitely cause another wave.
After some revisions, I really feel sorry for everyone, the recent review is more strict, I try not to walk by the river.
Thank you all.
Chapter 344 Super Big Brick
"What is this you have?"
"The latest mobile phone, look, this one is very light."
Looking at the big brick in front of him, William White couldn't help but be speechless.Well, since his partnership with Motorola, this is the first time a product has been brought to market.
The reason why William White is speechless is that this thing was implemented before he took over, and it cost more than 1 million dollars.
"Tom, do you really think this is light?"
"Well, I've seen one in Europe. I don't know if it's a Nokia or a Siemens. It's more than ten times bigger than this one. It's a bit like a walkie-talkie on a battlefield."
"I know this, maybe it can be installed in a car."
"Boss, this thing is good, but it's too expensive, more than 4000 dollars, and the talk time is not enough."
"How long can it last?"
"It's said to be half an hour, but it's actually up to 10 minutes."
Well, William White was depressed. He remembered that he had to start with the most basic battery first.Today's battery is just the oldest nickel-cadmium battery. Even if lithium batteries have not been researched, at least nickel-metal hydride batteries should be used.
With all this in mind, William White started calling meetings of the cell phone department.
To be honest, William White didn't intend to be too radical.This mobile phone is originally an excessive product. If you want to promote and make money, you have to wait for the GSM era.
Fortunately, the uncle's request is not too much now. He didn't ask for major changes, but only asked for reduced energy consumption and increased battery capacity.
To put it bluntly, Ni-MH batteries are not a high-tech thing, and you, a stuff that sells for $[-], can accept this cost increase anyway.
William White has already figured it out, if these bastards dare to say anything that can't be done, he will immediately transfer this damn factory.
As for the requirements such as call quality, well, let’s save a little effort, it’s very good if you don’t cross the line.
"Felson, how's the situation in the digital lab?"
"There has been a breakthrough. Two more patents have been approved this month. Motorola's directors seem to have an opinion on the extra R&D expenses."
"If you have an opinion, you can keep it. If you don't, you can withdraw the shares. A group of short-sighted bastards."
Of course, William White had reason to get angry. If he hadn't considered the R&D cost of more than 1 million US dollars, he would have planned to push it all over again.However, climbing the technology tree is not so simple, even if the direction is correct, it still takes time to accumulate.
At William White's insistence, various departments quickly started technical public relations. After all, the boss's request was very reasonable.
All are existing technologies, and there is no black technology.Just a week later, an improved version of the big brick plan was placed on William White's desk.
"Well, this thing is about the same. What the hell are you waiting for for four hours? In fact, after two hours of waiting, you can only make one call."
"Boss, the cost may be a bit high."
"That's because the order quantity is too small, the quantity will be doubled directly, and the price will be reduced by 10%. This is my request."
Filson's eyes twitched, he was really powerless to complain, isn't your request too outrageous?
"Don't worry, Filson, if my order is ten times larger, they will give you a half discount."
"Okay, boss, I'll go talk to them."
"Filson, the semiconductor industry is like this. What was the price of 64K memory a year ago?"
"I'm afraid the boss won't be cheap for too long. I feel that it's bad to touch someone with my feet."
"Haha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we have a big stick country, don't worry, they don't mind making a little less money in order to rub people with feet on the ground."
Felson didn't understand, this country didn't seem to have anything to do with Bangzi, where did the boss come from?He even asked some Chinese subordinates, but unfortunately, no one could answer this question.
After being reminded by Felson, William White thought about the price increase of memory.However, that is a matter of the IT industry, and it will not affect him for the time being.The usage of game consoles is not large, and these memories are already low-end products. Let alone Bangziguo, Treasure Island can already produce them.
Besides, these things are all OEM, if the foot basin people don't prepare their own inventory, they deserve it if they lose money.
To say that these guys are really tenacious, after the Plaza Accord, the currency has doubled in value. In this case, the export company did not go bankrupt immediately.It has to be said that this is really a miracle.
Faced with such a partner, Motorola is indeed a bit aggrieved.They are a well-established Fortune [-] company, and there will be nothing in there.
However, facing a guy who can always bring benefits to shareholders, what else can you be dissatisfied with?
If this young master is really annoyed, then don't say anything, just have one more competitor, and it's still a very powerful opponent.
In fact, according to the agreement reached by the two parties, Motorola's board of directors is not binding at all.
A group of guys trying to find presence and failing.
Obviously, most of the board of directors are Wall Street elite, they will not trust these old guys.
What about the money-losing chip division?
What did you old guys say?
hehe!The current situation is that Motorola is not the best chip company, but it is the most profitable one.
As for the memory department you mentioned, it can be pissed off now. If it weren't for this rubbish, the stock price would not know how much it would have risen.
For investors, it doesn't matter if you make any fuss, but don't do any tricks, which will directly make the stock price avalanche.
Split with William White?
Let's not joke, as soon as this news is announced on Wall Street, the stock price will react immediately.Conversely, if the capital of this joint venture project is increased, it will actually increase the stock price.
After the old guys figured it out, William White's super big brick plan was implemented.William White believes that with this thing, the promotion of simulators will definitely be better.
Pioneering is sometimes such a pain. No matter how good your development is, it is useless. There will always be people who overtake in a corner, especially in the mobile phone market.
So what can Ericsson and Nokia do with the awesome 13, in the end, it is almost the end of the entire army's destruction.
"Boss, Murdoch integrated Fox TV, and now there are clear signs of expansion."
"Hehe, the old guy is quite tenacious, Barry, what do you think, how about we split the production department?"
"Separation of production and broadcasting? Will it be too radical?"
"Haha, if there is no competition, how can there be any motivation. In this way, our goal is not that big."
"Okay, let me make a plan, how to deal with the existing programs?"
"Put it all out and let them know that as long as the ratings are good, anything can be negotiated. If your bid is too low, they can also sell it to ABC. There is only one thing, and the local and Australian villains are absolutely not allowed."
Barry Diller was a little unsure, did that old guy take advantage of this guy, otherwise it really wouldn't make sense, do you have such a big grudge?
"Okay, boss, I will arrange it."
Chapter 345 Backhand (Modify)
The time has entered the end of August, and the fiscal deficit of the United States is still increasing, and the trade deficit is also continuing to expand. At this time, no matter how short-sighted people are, they have discovered something wrong.
"Tom, what happened to UMC's products?"
"Boss, the quality doesn't seem to be very stable, it's not as good as the foot basin."
"I still don't know if there is no foot basin, eggs can't be put in one basket, you go there yourself, their industrial zone in Hsinchu is very good, find more OEM companies."
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."
"There is a company called Formosa Plastics. They also have a company in the United States, and the company is also very large. These guys are different from foot basins. They prefer to do OEM. PDAs and learning machines, I don't plan to produce foot basins."
"Boss, there will be no problem with their quality, right?"
"Hehe, although it may not be better than the foot basin, it is definitely much better than the rice country."
Regarding the boss's complaints, Tom could only smile wryly.
Isn't that the big brick?
If it was handed over to the foot basin early in the morning, I am afraid it can be sold now.I really don't understand what the factory here is thinking about.
When it comes to the best foundry companies, Formosa is definitely second to none.Not because they are good quality, nor because they are cheap.
