Calasanto knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Then, he walked in.

"Hello, Miss Edson."

The other party said hello first.

"Hello."

Catherine smiled too.

"I assume you've read the script."

The other person nodded.

"The script is very good, especially the ending, which gives people a sense of enlightenment. But I haven't met Mr. Stallone yet...but Mr. Bruce Lee is really suitable for filming this film."

Catherine nodded.

"What do you think of this film?"

Catherine continued to ask.

Carla Santo offered some insights about the film.

"The special forces members mentioned in your script should be well-trained, but on the other hand, this is not just a realistic film, so we may need more additional props, and possibly

It requires a lot of special effects..."

"Yes, what I want to express is the world's technology in the near future."

Calasanto nodded.

"But, what about the choice of the heroine?"

"Uh... I haven't thought about it. Do you have any opinions?"

Catherine asked.

Calasanto also frowned.

Indeed, this is a serious problem.

The choice of heroine is very important.

But...who should I look for?

After thinking for a long time, there was no good candidate for Carla Santo. After all, there are still a handful of women starring in action films. Although there are not many, there are not many who are suitable and have schedules.

Then, Calasanto suddenly looked at Catherine, and his eyes suddenly became more and more pleasing to the eye.

"you."

"I?"

Catherine pointed at herself.

The other party nodded.

"You're very suitable. You're tall, uh... you're just a little thin, but you'll be fine after putting on makeup."

It is true that Catherine has fair skin and a smaller frame, but Catherine has a foundation in dancing... maybe she can really do it. And Catherine has been a leading role once.

"I will think about it."

Catherine could only say this in the end.

After all, her whole body was still locked up.

Then Catherine read the letter again.

Elvis Presley did not give Catherine a reply. The other party seemed to be hesitating. Catherine was ready to continue sending an invitation letter to the other party.

She doesn't care how much direct benefit the other party can bring to her, but cares about the popularity the other party can bring to her.

While Catherine was busy, his father suddenly came in.

Seeing Catherine here, he was also stunned for a moment.

After all, this is Bruce's office.

"Dad, what did the Pentagon tell you?" Catherine asked first.

"Nothing, I just talked about the future development prospects of computers. My head is getting big... What are you doing here?"

"Deal with some things...I'm the big boss!"

Catherine said matter-of-factly.

"Tell me everything~Dad~"

Catherine looked at each other with a smile.

"This has nothing to do with you, Kate... okay."

Bruce sighed.

"The Pentagon asked us about the outlook for the computer industry. The computer industry will receive a comprehensive, large-scale development. It will be popularized."

He paused.

"Then, they asked me about the use of computers in the military industry. I think this is probably what they are most concerned about. Computers will have an impact on the military and industry in all aspects, including fully automated production and automated warfare.

It’s the theme of the future… That’s all I can say.”

"Then what?"

Catherine asked eagerly.

"Then, they seemed very interested in it, but unfortunately, they seemed to think the size of our company was...well...a bit small."

After hearing her father's words, Catherine nodded with deep understanding.

Indeed, compared with IBM, my company is simply not qualified.

But there is no problem. DreamWorks has already made tens of millions in revenue. Coupled with the profits of Blizzard and other companies, the funds that Catherine can use are about 100 million US dollars. Of course, because she bought a house in Manhattan, she still has about 80 million that she can use.

She immediately made a decision.

——Acquisition of dec.

dec, that is, Digital Equipment Corporation.

Dec Company was born in 1957. In early 1958, the first batch of products - digital laboratories and digital system components - were shipped. The sales in the first year were US$94,000. The company made a little profit, although it was very small. In 1962

, was the fifth fiscal year of dec. The company's sales were US$6.5 million and net profit was US$800,000; in 1963, dec made a profit of US$1.2 million; in 1964, sales rose to US$11 million, but profits dropped to

900,000 U.S. dollars. Dec Company was in the process of development. It was short of funds and its expenses were greater than its income. In June 1963, Dec Company needed a sum of cash and borrowed 300,000 U.S. dollars from ard Company, which was to be paid off in three years...

Even now.

However, this is a dragon lurking in the abyss. In the 1970s, with the release of pdp-11, dec will soar into the sky, and its scenery will be unparalleled. Even IBM will avoid its edge.

However, it prospered but failed, and the company was eventually acquired by Hewlett-Packard.

dec, is Catherine's goal.

With dec, it means that until the 1980s, I had the qualifications to challenge IBM!

At the same time, he can also further enhance his computer strength and win the trust of the Pentagon.

And Dec also has a strong man. To Catherine, this person is no less important than Seymour Cray who created the Cray vector machine.

You must know that the other party is not only a manager, nor just a technician, he is also the founder of the famous "matrix" production model.

His name is Olson.

The so-called "matrix" means that a manager is responsible for a production line and is fully responsible for production, sales and marketing; his responsibility is to make profits and make money. Whether it is profit or loss, the responsibility belongs to him, and he is responsible for everything.

Olson's "Matrix" was a huge change in the history of product production.

It is precisely because of this that Olson's dec escaped the company's decline in 1965 and turned the tide.

From 1963 to 1964, Olson's company's production began to go from bad to worse, and profits also dropped significantly. Especially affected by the castrated version of Wenquxing, a computer skin approved by Catherine, it was even more difficult.

This is the best time to acquire Olson's dec!

Olson has sacrificed a lot. If she extends an olive branch to the other party at this time, she believes that the other party will not refuse at all.

Especially when you can still pay a big price...
