Chapter 1260 Can’t Stop

"I told you not to pick me up, but you just didn't listen. It's such a strong sun, and I'm already tanned." Holding the four-star princess in his arms, William White began his daily routine of spreading dog food.

After finishing his trip to the South Bay, William White came to the Lion City. Inspecting his chip factory is the next best thing. If he doesn't come, Lao Wang next door might have a chance.

"It's disgusting, don't be here. You bastard, you haven't been here for so long, and you keep doing this again and again. Let the reporters take pictures later, I don't want to see anyone anymore."

Although William White stopped what he was doing, he didn't care much. Those who should know have known it for a long time. There will be a wave of hype about his romantic affair for a while. The person involved has become numb, and the spectators probably have little interest.

He is thick-skinned and shady. Really, he couldn't do anything about the things between men and women.

What's more, he, William White, is a media tycoon. If your tabloid does this, he can pretend it's invisible. If News Corporation does this, it's a provocation.

"Go to the company first. Now go back to the hotel. You must be exhausted. I still have to be a human being."

"Well, are you so cruel? I've been putting up with it for a long time."

"Bah, don't come here. By the way, isn't it too early to start using 0.18 micron technology?" Seeing that this guy was incessant, the little beauty had no choice but to change the subject. She knew very well that even though this bastard acted like a child, if there was any work, he was also very serious about it.

"We can't keep up with Intel and AMD in chip design. So, if we still want to get a piece of the pie, we can only use our brains on the standard.

Lower energy consumption, smaller area. I am a little worried now that if Intel uses 0.18 technology for Celeron first, it can almost sweep the entire mid- to low-end DIY market. "

"Well, these retail CPUs won't have a big share, right?"

William White thought for a while and said: "Look at Japan and Smecta, of course there won't be too many end users.

This time I went to the Electronics Wholesale Market in Nanwan. Although I couldn't see everything, my people told me that the shipment volume was amazing.

You know, far more than Compaq and Dell combined. "

"So many? Why can't it be seen in Intel's financial report where these CPUs are packaged?"

"Ahem, cough, cough, there are some things that we can't get to the bottom of."

William White really couldn't explain it because it involved software issues. Rabbit Country’s domestic brand machines do not have any price advantage. At this point, it is completely different from other markets in the world.

In the United States and Japan, people who do DIY are usually enthusiasts, and they are willing to spend a lot of money for even a 1% performance improvement.

As for Rabbit Country, well, although it has been significantly reduced, the price of several thousand dollars is not acceptable to everyone. Spending the same price, DIY is at least 15% cheaper, this is an indisputable fact.

If you don’t have much money in your pocket, you have to be careful with your budget. It is precisely because of this that Big Rabbit Country has created another industry.

Assembling a computer and making a profit of about $30 is unimaginable in the United States. Damn it, it costs fifty dollars to replace a fluorescent tube. Are you telling me that it costs thirty dollars to install a computer?

But just because of the existence of such a market, Dongdong, which seems to be relatively high-tech, has quickly become popular on this continent.

“Giggle, giggle, your legendary computer can’t be sold!

You deserve it, who asked you to sell it so expensively? "

"No, you can't sell it? Are you kidding me? My store in Rabbit Country is busier than the tourist attractions."

William White rolled his eyes, is that a computer that my buddy is selling? That's an attitude towards life. If it's sold cheaply, how can it reflect the 13-dimensional character of those bastards?

"Let me tell you, Fuzhen, when rich people buy things, they only buy the most expensive and not the best. If you talk about cost-effectiveness with these people, you will definitely get a blank look."

The Lion City is not that big, so the two of them had a good time bickering, and soon they arrived at the high-tech development park. This is a very good thing about the Lion City. As long as you can solve the local employment, land, energy and tax issues, they will be properly solved.

You see, the Lion City was also hit hard by the Asian financial crisis, and now there is no sign of decadence at all. Suffice it to say, they were the first economies to emerge from the financial crisis.

Alas, it is a pity that some forces are left alone. If Japan had taken the same measures, the crisis in Asia would not have been so serious at all.

"Fuzhen, you have to think clearly. Competition in the semiconductor industry is very fierce. If it is just OEM, this is not a big problem. As long as you master the advanced packaging technology, you will not be afraid of losing customers at all.

Once you change your business thinking. "

"Isn't it the same? We don't also provide CPUs for PS now."

Although the two of them were talking about business, the special smell in the air could not be concealed at any cost. To be honest, William White does not like to use this posture to discuss official matters. However, doesn't he owe a lot? Since the girl likes it, let her do it.

"Don't provoke it again. If it gets angry later, how can we visit the factory?"

"Hmph, it's all you. Get up quickly, a group of people are waiting. Damn it, aren't we studying a development plan?

fraud. "

William White is speechless, my buddy’s pants were torn by you. Which one of us is more anxious?

Well, I can’t say that. Who told you to eat more and take up more? If you still worry about it, it's really meaningless.

"It will be very hard. Intel has grown up. It is a company with a market capitalization of US$400 billion. What a behemoth it is.

However, since you have decided, I support you. As a result, my personal PC project will also be adjusted accordingly. "

"Will it have a big impact?" He said while helping this guy sort out his clothes. I have to say that when a strong woman does something like this, she doesn't feel awkward at all. At this point, American girls cannot be compared.

"Of course, it will trigger the whole body. Don't announce this matter to the outside world for the time being. There are still many things that need to be prepared."

The United States' control of semiconductors is not as simple as it seems. Big Blue sets the standard, Microsoft controls the operating system, and Intel controls the core.

You see, it is basically an iron triangle. If you study their equity structure again, you will be surprised to find that there is still the power of consortiums.

Through various complex financial operations, it may not seem so intuitive, but William White knows that it is definitely not simple.

He himself is also one of the shareholders of these three companies. Leaving aside Microsoft, there is no need to say who has the final say in the other two companies. Let alone small and medium investors, a major shareholder like him has no way to influence the board of directors' resolution.

The most uncomfortable thing right now is undoubtedly the huge and unrivaled window system.

There are ways to do it, but it’s not impossible. Later, the famous Android was developed based on Linux. A Finnish college student, annoyed by expensive software, developed one himself.

This is the origin of Linux!

However, this Linux did not fall from the sky, it was just a variant of Unix. The birthplace of Unix was Bell Labs.

Unix is ​​actually the originator of open source software. Due to AT&T's trouble later, this thing was closed source again. Not only can it not be used for commercial purposes, even if it is used as academic research in universities, it still needs to pay expensive fees.
