Chapter 520 Catherine in Little Watson's Eyes

...What exactly does she want to do?"

Although in the media, this old man is called "little" Watson, in fact, he is already very old, just because his father has the same name as himself, and his father happens to be the same as himself.

He is equally famous, so Watson is called Little Watson.

Contrary to Catherine's imagination, the first person to have a headache with their products was not Motorola, but Watson, who had recently been focusing on the Japanese market and was waiting for an opportunity to enter the U.S. microcomputer market.

The technology possessed by Catherine is too high, so he must wait for his technology to keep up with the opponent's pace before he can counterattack the US market.

And Watson is unlikely to cooperate with Motorola.

After Motorola acquired Fairchild, IBM also decisively chose to use its own developed chips as the core of a new generation of personal computers. The technology sold to Japan is still guaranteed.

The current personal computer business has brought a lot of profits to IBM. Not only Watson, but the entire board of directors has even realized that this little gadget can achieve the same success as the 360 ​​mainframe. So the entire IBM

They began to tilt towards the personal computer business. Targeting Japanese business users, they developed a lot of software and hardware, which perfectly entered the Japanese market.

Although the interface is in English, when used in business, even Japanese people can understand it - what they are not good at is spoken English, and sometimes there is no problem in writing.

, "Cloud system..."

A supercomputer with close to 1 billion floating point operations is definitely the most powerful existence in the world. Although it has a super high cost, such a machine has huge uses.

Before that, Watson knew that many large consortiums were interested in this supercomputer. This was because someone also came to IBM to ask if there was a supercomputing site of the same type...

After the emergence of this system and this supercomputer, Watson immediately asked technicians to study this supercomputer. But the result was that there was no way to start.

Most of today's mainframes and supercomputers are time-sharing operating systems, which are completely different from Catherine's multi-tasking operating system. Unless Watson is poaching another technician from the Thunder Lab

, otherwise it would be impossible for those technical staff to understand this kind of ultra-large multi-task supercomputer without a few months.

It's not that IBM doesn't want to get a share of the supercomputer pie, but after learning about the emergence of this supercomputer, the entire board of directors held a meeting, and then conducted a series of discussions on the research and development of IBM's supercomputer.

Now IBM has stopped the research and development of supercomputers. They feel that Catherine's technology is of great reference. If feasible, IBM can also build a supercomputer in this way. In that case, the efficiency of the supercomputer will be at least ten times what it is now.

More than times.

But it is a pity that although the blue giant is very strong, Catherine is still one step ahead of them in terms of technology. If the original technology is used, Catherine's side will definitely not be able to compare with IBM, but the technology used by Catherine is unprecedented.

. Utilize micro cpu as

Core, and then build a supercomputer, which is huge and powerful. But Watson Jr. believes that this is not a move by the opponent against himself, the "general". It is precisely because of the launch of the cloud system that Watson Jr. realizes the most important thing

is "using the Internet as a medium to achieve remote operations"

Little Watson never imagined that things could still be like this!

The Internet was a thing that the young Watson used to sneer at. In his opinion, it is difficult to say that the Internet would have developed so rapidly if there had not been the emergence of Soviet spies stealing Internet information. And this thing is in

In his opinion, it is almost a thing without any benefit. This kind of self-sacrifice for the people is not the style of capitalists.

But now it seems that is not the case.

The cloud system is a sure win for IBM, which wants to counterattack the United States.

Because of the antitrust investigation, IBM's pace has slowed down. Just because it has switched to Japan's business, IBM's profit level can still be maintained.

"internet……"

Little Watson even felt that all this seemed to have been planned from the beginning.

From the time the Internet was first built, Catherine had everything planned out.

No, it can even be traced back to the birth of the first personal chip or even earlier. It seems that Catherine's integrated circuit patent was applied for at that time. But at that time, the little fellow Catherine Edson seemed to be only 10

When Watson was about 18 years old, he thought about it and felt that there must be a coincidence.

Integrated circuits are not a simple thing. To be able to patent them at the age of 10, and to have them work with Fairchild and Texas Instruments, already shows how smart this girl is.

But now it seems that she is more than just smart.

, "Strength, luck, wisdom." Little Watson sighed. It seemed that the right time, the right place, the right people, and the people were all on the Ark Group's side, and they were all with Catherine Edson. "The most important thing is vision."

Yes, vision.

Just looking at the current construction of optical* networks can explain everything.

When building skycom for the army, Catherine built intercom by the way.

After connecting various universities, it seems that many people think that it is just a communication platform between college students, and the profit only lies in the fees between Internet cafes and computer rooms and Internet user registration.

But at that time, the Internet, which had almost no profit, was quietly brought to major cities. According to a survey conducted by IBM, during this period, the mileage of optical cable lines built by Catherine,

Even more than the total number of east-west lines and north-south lines built across the United States. At that time, the Internet was only

It's just a loss. As for making money, this has only happened in the past few months. Although the other party's financial report cannot be obtained, IBM personnel can still judge that the financial situation of American telecommunications companies has begun to improve based on the clues around them.

But that's all. The hundreds of millions of funds paid before are still a big black hole.

But now, Watson seems to have some understanding.

Although it is unclear how much this supercomputer named "Galaxy" costs, but with Seymour Cray's personality, the cost of the products produced by this guy will definitely not be too high, at least as high as that of IBM, which is unlikely.

Then, each supercomputer can be used by 500,000 people, and these people must use the Internet to use this cloud system.

This also means that each supercomputer will bring at least 500,000 Internet users, and the profits brought to Catherine every month by so many people entering the Internet are also very considerable.

It's just the statistics of IBM's intelligence personnel on this, but it is a headache, because American Telecom and American Unicom are two companies, China Unicom is the network operator, and Telecom is the Internet construction team.

On the surface, the construction of the Internet is entirely the result of American Unicom "hiring" American telecommunications companies to build it.

This trick of changing the left hand to the right hand, little Watson probably only Catherine can do it.

At the beginning, little Watson felt a little scornful of Catherine's creation of so many companies. In the eyes of little Watson, this strategy was like "a child breaking a toy in his hand into two."

Feel.

But with the development of the entire Ark Group, Watson Jr. noticed that this did not seem to be the case.

A confidence, or ambition.

Katherine Edson operates every company she owns as "IBMBU". It seems inappropriate to say so. But it seems that in Kathryn's eyes, every company she owns should be an "IBMBU".

A company with the same status as IBM, or even a higher status.

Try to think about it, what would happen if Microsoft, Google and Apple in 2011 were put into one company?

It definitely won’t work!

For such a behemoth, the federal government will definitely dismantle it completely, just like Microsoft and IBM experienced the crisis.

Of course, Watson Jr. didn't know this. But after going through the antitrust investigation, Watson Jr. knew that Catherine did this to a large extent to prevent trouble.

Not to mention merging, even now, Catherine's products seem to be suspected of monopoly, but now most of her products are under patent protection, so it doesn't seem obvious, and the left-hand-right-hand strategy is also

It makes people feel as if these companies are separate enterprises.

One of their behind-the-scenes bosses is Catherine Edson.

None of the companies under the Ark Group are listed on the market. If there is, it is only Wal-Mart in which Catherine has a stake. But that does not count the subsidiaries of the Ark Group.

Instead, the entire company adopts an "option" strategy. The profit rights of the shares are given to employees, and the profits are distributed, but the final rights are still in their own hands. This is indeed a good move.

Even Watson Jr. believes that it is this strategy that gives Catherine's company such strong cohesion.

This is completely Catherine's hall, and the entire group revolves around Catherine.

"……kingdom?"

Little Watson suddenly had such a feeling.

Catherine seems to be building a kingdom of her own.

This kingdom has a wise leader and a strong army. This kingdom is constantly expanding its territories, and in time, it will become an empire.

Little Watson suddenly felt a little tired. Although he didn't accept old age, he was already exhausted.

Maybe it's time for him to retire. The future is the world of young people. He can't see clearly what the future of this world will be like.

"I forgot she was a girl..."

Little Sansen suddenly thought of something again, and then smiled.

The other party is far more resourceful than you think...@.
