Chapter 21 The Era of Blooming Flowers
Chapter 21 The Era of Blooming Flowers
This is a good time, as long as you pay enough, success is not impossible.
At least this is the case in Silicon Valley, where Big Blue and HP control high-end customers, leaving the mid- and low-end market to other companies.
This is actually a big cake, and the number of users is far more than that of mainframes. As the software situation improved, more and more users began to pay attention to computers.
The involvement of government agencies and large enterprises has also prompted a surge in the number of computer users.
Using computer codewords is naturally more efficient than typewriters, and it is very convenient to modify. The most important thing is that this file format is compatible, and you can also modify it on other systems.
With the help of this thing, home office has also become possible. People who are engaged in writing work do not need to work overtime in the company, and many jobs can be done at home.
For accounting and warehouse managers, the efficiency of this software is too high. The accuracy rate is not comparable to the traditional method.
What? You said database and ERP.
This thing is no longer high-end, and large companies are reluctant to buy it. Small and medium-sized enterprises should save some effort.
With the landing of some government procurement projects, Apple finally ushered in competitors.
This is not only the case in the United States, but also the small partners in Europe are obviously unwilling to be lonely. Everyone wants a piece of this emerging market.
"Tom, how's the European part?"
"Boss, there is still a week at most, and the test can start immediately. It's just that Asia is not so fast."
"Tsk, this thing is really troublesome, but Tom, you'd better hurry up. Although Hanka is troublesome, it has a wide range of uses. How much money you make is secondary. What do I need? You should be very clear that what I need is Leading the way, you need to make that very clear to everyone in the company.”
"Okay, boss, I will speed up the pace."
"It really doesn't work. I need to recruit more employees. I have other plans to implement."
"Then let's recruit some people, the current manpower is really not enough."
"Okay, you go to notify HR, bring up the report, and I will sign it."
"Okay boss"
Tom was the CEO he poached, and this CEO candidate caught the attention of the outside world.
He was not from the IT industry at all, he was a marketing manager of an advertising company, and somehow he got into William White's eyes.
For an enterprise, the most difficult thing to control is actually the direction of development. Since William White is not worried about this, the focus is naturally on marketing. If other companies do this, it will be miserable, and they will definitely die.
For the increasingly lively IT industry, Wall Street expressed the need to be cautious. It is an indisputable fact that the number of users has expanded, but the competition has also become more intense. Who will win in the end? This is still an unknown.
At this time, they found that White Software was as stable as Mount Tai, without any decent competition, and everyone seemed to choose to forget it.
This is really weird, the current US emperors have no integrity, as long as they see money to be made, they will immediately rush to it.
The market in the United States is really weird, monopoly is almost everywhere, and traditional industries have no chance at all. If you don’t want to be swallowed up by others, you’d better find something new.
The birth of Silicon Valley has a background of the times. Just like Hollywood, everyone escaped, and there is a dead end near New York. The consortium and those aristocratic families will swallow up your bones and dregs.
Taxes in San Francisco are not low, and IT companies would rather pay more taxes than go to New York, because the power of consortiums is concentrated in New York, and they may be swallowed up anytime, anywhere.
The San Francisco and California areas are much better. The only strong one here is the Texas consortium. This consortium is relatively young, with very limited control and no ability to cover the sky with one hand.
As a newly promoted consortium, one has to be on guard against being crushed by others anytime and anywhere. Their acting style is relatively moderate, and they are definitely not as greedy as other financial groups.
Over time, White Software began to enter the European market, which surprised a group of Wall Street elite.
In their opinion, this thing is too simple, and it is too much to say that it has no value. But I guess it's not worth much.
Of course, this group of guys didn't give it in vain, and they soon understood. It's not that they have high integrity and don't want to imitate their things. There are too many patent traps here, and investing a large amount of money rashly is simply not worth the candle.
It's just a patent, wouldn't it be good to bypass it?
When they raised this question, people looked at his expression as if they were looking at an idiot, and they really didn't bother to tell these bastards.
It's not easy to go around, we professionals can't do anything, you idiots will say.
Haven't you noticed that European countries have no willingness to research and develop, and people still buy White software.
William White is an asshole. He has prepared a group of legal consultants. If you have no strength, your company will go bankrupt before the product is launched.
After a moment of sluggishness, they realized that they had made a mistake. The value of White's software was underestimated. Twenty million dollars was not a joke at all. This was a complete humiliation. No wonder there was no reply.
Although the office suite can't do it, isn't there other software?
Revolving around what else computers can do, the entire Silicon Valley began to brainstorm, and various software began to increase. As long as your brain is big enough, there are always venture capitalists willing to spend money.
William White became famous not because of the billions of dollars he inherited, the money does not belong to him yet.
His story is so inspiring, the money left to him by his parents is still useless. If the huge inheritance tax is paid, maybe this guy will still owe a lot of money.
William White's success is more due to personal efforts, and what the family left him may still be a burden.
There is also a reason for the public to see it this way. The Hunter family is too low-handed to take advantage of others' danger.
William White inherited two pieces of property. In the eyes of ordinary people, the oil company is obviously more valuable. Haven't you seen how expensive gasoline is now?
This company is now considered a government trusteeship, so it goes without saying how bad the situation is. Farms are even more dire, almost all farmers are about to go bankrupt.
Faced with such a situation, William White still did not give up. Now it seems that he has a great chance to get back what belongs to him.
There are grievances and grievances in this story, there is self-improvement, and there may be revenge in the future. The old beauty loves this story to death.
Considering that this guy is still a writer, the public is still looking forward to it. These things may become novels. I guess the Hunter family must be very troublesome. It would be nice not to be hacked.
As long as the name is Hunter in the novel, it is definitely the most wretched. Thinking of this terrible consequence, the old guy of the Hunter family is also a little bit numb.
They tried to reconcile, but the other party ignored them and directly ignored their so-called goodwill.
