Reborn American Tycoon

　After changing her appearance, she is indeed much prettier. If she modifies her makeup, it will definitely not be too bad.

　"Well, is there an agent?"

　"Yes, yes,"

　"Let him come to the company tomorrow, and there are some details." After speaking, William White left first, and the girl was still a little silly.

　She really didn't understand, didn't she still need to perform?

　Where's that damn red couch?

　Where should I sleep?

　When she left the company, Sharon Stone was still in a daze. There were too many things that happened today, she couldn't judge by herself, and that damn agent, my mother must fire him.

　No agent showed up for this level of audition, which shows how embarrassing her position is. It is wrong to say that no one praises her at all. Woody Allen just directed and acted in a movie, and this girl acted in a movie. vase.

　Although the old bastard is cheap, he still has a good eye for choosing women, but unfortunately he is still weak now, and he has not reached his best moment, so it is unrealistic to try to get his hands on such beauties.

　Although he is a very good director, William White didn't intend to support him, the old guy is really disgusting.

　The son's sister became his stepmother, how sad this son must be, it is speechless to think about it.

　Although it's not her own, it's enough to be fucked up. You are an adopted daughter, not a goddaughter. Although there is no law prohibiting it, it is inappropriate for you to do this.

　Regarding the rivalry between the two father and son, there are too many Rashomons in it, and it is not known whether the father and son are fighting each other.

　The current Sharon Stone is absolutely silly, white and sweet. The red sofas in Hollywood have long since disappeared. What people are playing now is elegant art, such as going to a hotel to study Shakespeare's love history.

　Hong Guoguo's work in the company has long been sued for bankruptcy, and those things that happened in the relationship between superiors and subordinates will definitely make people stumble.

　Unless you have signed a special agreement, there is really nothing you can do. This kind of lawsuit cannot be won. At most, you will make the other party lose face, and there will be no actual benefits.

　Atari was worried that games from Legendary World would enter the field of video games. They had no way to compete, and the work of developing a new system was not smooth. After a lot of people were poached, this time was nowhere in sight.

　At this moment, Steve Ross felt a little regretful. He obviously misjudged the form. He thought it was only bronze, but he did not expect it to be a king.

　Raising the income level arbitrarily is not a good thing for the industry. Anyone who wants to do this will definitely be criticized by everyone.

　Now it's embarrassing, it's obviously a personal vendetta, and it's better for others to keep their mouths shut, unless you want to follow in Atari's footsteps.

　Even if this is the case with the industry hegemony, other people really don't care enough. They just hope that the turmoil will pass as soon as possible, and their employees are starting to move around.

　10% more wages will kill people, 50% will be in big trouble.

　The most important thing is that Legendary World is really not afraid. They belong to empty sacks and carry rice. The main income is production authorization. It is not so much a company as it is a studio.

　There will naturally be more people with ideas. If you have a good idea, you can find a few friends to work on it together. As long as the product is reliable, someone will definitely buy it.

　Although some people cursed William White, more people pointed their finger at Atari.

　The industry has already determined that Atari attempted to plunder, but in the end it offended that bastard kid, not to mention the failure of the attempt, and the R&D team was ruined by someone.

　Steve Ross was so angry that his liver trembled, although he had thought so, hadn't he not implemented it yet?

　Naturally, this news was spread by someone with a heart. The purpose is to smear it. You don't have the guts to deny it. After all, there are rumors that are true and some of them are true.

Chapter 115 The Inertia of History (Revised)

　Half-truths and half-false are the most convincing things like lies. If it is said that one ton of rice per mu is barely believed, one hundred thousand catties is too much. These things may not be piled up, let alone seeds.

　There has been news about the checkers project. Although many people expressed doubts, William White knew that Big Blue had officially entered the field of microcomputers.

　As for why it is so low-key, only God knows. The blue giant is a huge machine, and it is impossible to change its pace easily. Regarding microcomputers, they don't take it seriously.

　Can computers be popularized in ordinary families?

　They think it's a joke, game consoles have this possibility, and save the rest, it's unrealistic.

　I don't know if Atari should burst into tears, the blue giant is very optimistic about them.Regarding the arcade game World of Legends, they don't think it's going to make it into the home.

　They are very clear about the price of Motorola's 68000 CPU. One CPU is so expensive. Of course, arcade machines are no problem, and no one in the family can afford it.

　Soon, Intel's 8080 series chips came into their sight. Although the performance is not as good as that of Motorola, the price is very suitable.

　In fact, there is another important factor. The IT industry pays attention to inheritance. The guys who founded Intel were all born at Fairchild Semiconductor.Motorola can't do it, they belong to bumpkins.

　Texas Instruments?

　Those disrespectful cowboys just mess things up.

　Intel in this era is actually in trouble. Their main business is not CPU, and dynamic memory is the focus of their business.

　This is the memory of future generations. As long as you have enough money, everyone can enter this industry.

　As long as production is involved, Intel is basically beaten. Not only can the memory factory fail to do well in Europe, but even local companies in the United States can't beat it.

　What is even more frightening is that footbath companies have already intervened in this field, and their future will definitely not be easy.

　At such an embarrassing point of time, Giant Blue extended an olive branch.

　William White couldn't help sighing, the inertia of history is terrible, Motorola is still ignored, then there is nothing to say, just follow the inertia of history, and don't try to change anything.

　The office software has finally ushered in a challenger, and the leading Lotus company is obviously a little aggressive and intends to give White Software a hate.

　"68 yuan? Very good, Tom, don't worry about them, just follow the plan." Such a big piece of cake will of course attract predators, but it's a pity that their thinking is too simple, and it's so easy to overturn it.

　"Suzuki, ask the legal department to start the litigation process. Don't care about winning or losing. It's best to hold them back. If you can limit their sales, you can pay some price."

　"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."

　In patent disputes, it is very easy for the big to bully the small. Your software may need to be taken off the shelves, and the company account will also be partially frozen.

　Because they have applied for asset preservation, it is useless if you are not satisfied, it is just so unreasonable.

　Lotus, which is on the weak side, can only take advantage of the anti-monopoly clause. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to succeed.

　If you sue a company that has been established for less than a year, the Ministry of Justice is not so shameless. If the other party is weak, it is not impossible to warn you.

　William White?

　This is a nightmare for many people.

　If you're not afraid of his venomous tongue, it's okay to try it, just be prepared to be humiliated.

　Just when Lotus was in dire straits, White Software launched a new model. Although the improvement is not obvious, it is amazing enough. The most frightening thing is that the price of the old software has directly dropped to 29.9.

　What a speechless price this is. Your Lotus software is not as good as the other party's, and now you are facing such a blow, you really don't know what to do.

　This method of attacking competitors is absolutely brutal and domineering. If you have no solution in the short term, you probably have to close your doors and go out of business.

　The biggest controversy of patents mainly focuses on the file format, which is the place where all opponents are most speechless.

　If you use it, you will infringe the copyright, and if you don’t use it, you can’t print it, unless you don’t use Apple’s printing adapter card.

　Of course, other computers are fine, but users will never accept the inconsistent format. Does it mean that he needs to install two sets of software, and he needs to make two copies of the form.

　There are no such users in this world. They will definitely vote with their feet. Now it is even better, your price is twice as expensive as others.

　lotus?

　Just a joke.

　The trick of using upstream and downstream relationships to strangle competitors is not original to William White. Everyone is actually doing it, but to varying degrees.

　It makes sense for William White to be nervous about Lotus, but he really doesn't understand why this product was born prematurely. Shouldn't my buddies still have two years of leisure?

　Sometimes, it is not a good thing to be prophetic, and he is also delusional.In such a lucrative industry, even if there is no lotus, there is still lotus. How could it be possible for him to take advantage of the two-year bargain.

　In the current IT ecosystem, everyone's eyes are blood red, and no one wants to pounce on them and bite them.

　The current fierce confrontation has indeed made many people fearful. Although the company is young, it is extremely sophisticated in handling things. It is definitely not easy to bully.

　These companies in Silicon Valley usually have venture capital involved. They are all profit-seeking people. If the risk is too high, they will not invest.

　Obviously, the investors of Lotus Software backed down, and it was too stupid to further increase funds to fight. It would be best if someone recruited them, and they could withdraw in time.

　For companies in this era, this level of suppression is not common. Lianhua was indeed beaten, and several other companies simply capsized.

　White Software's ruthless methods naturally caused a backlash from the industry, and the most joyful dance was naturally his old enemy Larry Ellison.

　"We welcome competition. The premise is that you don't plagiarize. We have [-] million US dollars lying on our books, just to deal with thieves. You even copy the wrong code, but you still try to quibble. I'm sorry about the doubts of some people with ulterior motives. Your own business, I heard your account is empty. May God bless you.”

　The anger against White Software is still as sharp as ever. With the disclosure of document after document, plagiarism has become a common consensus.

　Plagiarism is not impossible. In this era, it is really nothing. The key is that you will not copy even if you copy, which is really disappointing.

　"Fuck, there are still blank instructions here?"

　This grandson is too bad, what a shit accident, this is too nonsense, this is clearly a hole dug long ago.

　The Ministry of Justice, which is about to move, has also shrunk. You really don't deserve sympathy. You can still be found out with evidence. It's useless to win this lawsuit.

　Although Laomei encourages competition, it never encourages plagiarism. If everyone does this, it is really scary how innovative the United States will be.

Chapter 116 God's Opponent

　The software industry was disturbed, and the balance of the personal computer industry was also broken. Wang An's first-generation personal computer finally appeared.

　In terms of the use of hardware, Wang An Computer is also quite conservative, basically on par with the second-generation Apple machine.

　You'd have to say this is fine for a larger word processor, their design is really lackluster.

　But a big factory is a big factory, and their computers are also very popular in the market. The personal computer market has ushered in the era of melee for the first time.

　White Software's substantial price reduction prompted computer manufacturers to increase their publicity efforts.Many users who are holding coins to wait and see are no longer waiting.

　The theory that microcomputers are useless is being ridiculed again, which embarrasses some old guys.

　Whether it is useful or not depends on what experts say. This is something that consumers should decide. Why should brickmakers do it for them? It is better to give young people more opportunities.

　Wang An Computer, as the first giant to step into personal PCs, naturally realized the vastness of the market, and the unit price of PCs was far higher than that of word processors.

　Such a good start naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Qiao Dashen.

　"William, you have to be fast, we can't wait for the Lisa project."

　Listening to Master Qiao's slightly complaining tone, William White didn't care.

　"Old Joe, our beta version is already in place. Your problem is the production process. My software can't be sold to only one company. As you can see, our competitors are also very powerful." William White didn't listen to him. Just throw the pot away.

　"Okay, okay, don't forget your promise."

　"Yeah, don't worry, I'm very trustworthy."

　William White is also powerless to complain about God Joe's request, so what if you provide Apple's software for three months first, your Lisa project is so rubbish, it is definitely something that cannot be recovered.

　Master Qiao still doesn't know that his biggest opponent is not Wang An, but the blue giant Gabill Gates is the key. Wang An's system is the same as Apple's, it is exclusive, and he can't beat the blue giant with a group of younger brothers. .

　Master Qiao didn't take Bill Gates seriously, and he also helped Bill's business a lot, and even encouraged Microsoft to develop office software.

　Bill Gates is really having a headache right now. To say that he is not tempted is bullshit, but he is not that impulsive. William White is not so easy to deal with. It is best not to confront him head-on.

　"Boss, Microsoft has received an order from Big Blue. Although the news is secret, we still know about it."

　For this result, although William White was disappointed, he didn't care too much. "Well, Tom, find out what their plans are. Microsoft can't make it out of thin air. They bought that company, or got some authorization."

　"Okay, boss, I'll check right away." Seeing that the boss didn't sound very unhappy, he finally let go of his heart.

　"Is MSDOS about to debut? Why are there still some small expectations? Haha!"

　In a sense, this is actually insider trading. What kind of system does Bill Gates have? MSDOS is just the garbage he bought, and he changed it a little and then sold it.

　No matter when the IBM PC appears, White Software will launch supporting software as soon as possible. The things that are sold now are just small things. If they fall behind in the next wave, there will be no White Software in this world.

　Master Qiao has encountered challenges, and so has William White. Not only has he encountered trouble in the software field, but arcade machines will also usher in a change.

　Motorola's 68000 series actually has a derivative product, the 68 series derived from the 65 series. The sad thing is that this thing does not belong to Motorola.

　The reason for the birth of AMD is similar. Due to the different concepts, the core personnel have found another way.

　This MOC company is also wonderful. The CPU of the 6502 series is almost open source. It seems that any factory can produce it, and the required cost is close to zero.

　Nowadays, thinking about monopoly is just a dream. Apple's first and second generations all use this CPU, and Atari's 2600 also uses this chipset.

　In William White's view, the potential of the 6800 is undoubtedly greater. If a breakthrough can be made in low power consumption, the potential of this chip is absolutely huge.

　"Boss, Mr. Felson is here."

　"Well, let him go to the meeting room, we will have a meeting directly."

　"Okay, boss."

　It is not difficult to obtain the authorization of Motorola, but it is more difficult to acquire the chip department as a whole. However, William White decided to give it a try.

　"Filson, what does Motorola say?"

　"Boss, there is no problem with the production authorization, but their production capacity and yield rate are not good, and they are also looking for a third-party factory."
