Blooming America

Chapter 232 Catherine with Black Belly

Bush put down his "Actor's Self-cultivation" and took a sip of water.

The bill submitted by Bush Sr. is being discussed in Congress. If nothing else, standard legislation for the video game industry will be introduced soon.

Then Bush Sr. picked up the most recent New York Times.

"Um...IBm?"

Bush saw a very interesting news.

An interesting news about IBm.

He knows that IBm is the adversary of aRk, and the political contributions of aRk are of great help to his campaign for Senate.

"this is…"

This news on the New York Times analyzed the IBm computer in detail.

Although the computer researched by Watson has separate software and hardware, IBm basically monopolizes the computer software industry.

"Although IBm keeps saying that the hardware and software platforms should be separated, they have never done so. The software platform of their mainframe computers is completely monopolized by IBm itself, and IBm owns up to% of the mainframe. However, if they did not open the standard, but completely excluded other manufacturers. Countless manufacturers have closed down because of this, and countless people have been displaced..."

Bush scratched his head. This seems a bit too much, but it seems to be true. He looked at the author's signature-a conscientious young researcher.

At this moment, the door of Bush's home was knocked...

…

Starting in mid-July, negative news about IBm began to spread frequently.

IBm’s monopolistic behavior has always existed. In addition, during the period when IBm was investigated, the negative news with well-documented evidence is very detrimental to IBm. Therefore, IBm was forced to truly open the mainframe software platform.

However, the matter is not over yet.

On August 1, the Ministry of Justice officially launched an antitrust investigation against IBm...

"Antitrust investigation, great"

At aRk's regular meetings, Sanders was obviously very happy.

Indeed, very encouraging news.

"What do we do? Start selling Celeron-class computers?"

After all, the computing power of Celeron-class computers is more than twice that of the series, and it is completely feasible to squeeze it out.

"Capacity, our production capacity is insufficient."

What Catherine is writing seems to be a very important idea.

"We still focus on consolidating the game console market and the microcomputer market?"

"Yes, we have to take care of the TV market." Catherine said.

That's right, there is a serious shortage of production capacity in my own company. It can be said that the large market of the United States can eat as much as the large market of the United States has as much stock.

That’s why Catherine put all the 400 million funds into production... This is equivalent to the 21st century’s 100 million U.S. dollars in *RMB, which is more than 100 million. If it is before inflation, it is more than 100 million

Especially these factories are all put into production in Taiwan, so it is quite convenient.

Catherine predicts that her company's output will at least quadruple this time.

However, even so, their company can only say that it can stabilize the basic disk at best. If it is not for compatible hardware and other products, it is difficult to say that Catherine's products can gain a foothold in the market-of course, because of patent protection, those who want to open People with new microcomputers can only wait until the ages. Even if they are playing game consoles, without Catherine’s cpu, people now want to drive a good game console. That’s a fantasy...

"Maybe we should even out some of the output... Anyway, the cpu we produce is our core, how about using it to research new-level computers?" It was Clay God who said this.

"No, the minicomputer plan has just begun, how can it be abandoned halfway?" Olsen quit.

"We...can develop software for IBm."

At this moment, Catherine spoke.

Then... there was silence.

Sanders looked at Catherine incredulously:

"Boss...Miss, are we really going to develop...software for IBm?"

"Yes, and these applications are all killer. People want to use them after they use them, and they can't do without our products."

Sanders has a weird look on his face.

Not only him, but even Olsen and the others, looked at Catherine with incredible eyes.

Isn't it... just compromised like this?

"Yes, yes, yes" Tsundere Catherine laughed, then took a sip of black tea, ""

"We still have to open accessories for IBm. Isn't IBm selling our Microsoft computers to their users? Let's ask them to increase their sales. It is best to sell IBm systems as popular as possible."

Catherine knew that she was only using the computer for gaming and entertainment, which was not feasible, and IBm had just given her a reminder now.

"Ahem, boss, are we really going to do this?" Sanders was a little confused about Catherine, he had already called out "Boss" instead of "Miss".

"Yes, it's not just us, we also need to sell the c language open package... Oh, yes, open the package can have a matching boot, Olsen, using your minicomputer is just right."

Catherine was full of energy.

"Are you sure?" Sanders asked.

"I am sure."

"Are you really sure?"

"Yes...what's the matter?" Catherine looked at Sanders strangely.

"Are we really going to abandon the mainframe market?"

Sanders asked strangely.

"No, how is this possible?" Catherine finally understood the meaning of everyone's astonishment.

"The purpose of this is to make users feel dependent on our software. Do you understand the sense of dependence?"

Sanders nodded.

"So, we have to develop software for them. They occupy nearly% of the mainframe market. If our software can be popularized, it can also occupy% of the market."

"Please continue." Olsen seemed to hear something.

"Then, when IBm's obsolete..."

"An smile" appeared on Catherine's face-she had tried many times, but she felt that she was the most successful smiling this time.

"...As long as at that time, our software no longer supports IBm machines, and then we launch our own mainframe... You say, what will happen?"

The black-bellied Catherine decided to take such a trick.

Then, on August 2nd—the day after IBm received an antitrust investigation, Catherine’s Apple Computer Company began announcing the development of software for a series of computers.

Not only is this announcement to the outside world, but internally, Catherine is also strict with the company. The software developed must be able to kill all parties, simple and easy to use, without bugs.

In fact, apart from that, Catherine had a very dark thought.

-IBm has just accepted the antitrust investigation and announced that it will open software for the other party. Isn't this a very interesting thing?

Chi Guoguo's face slap~

Catherine found that sometimes, certain nasty activities seem to be very interesting.

Of course, Catherine did not forget the hero of this matter-Bush Sr.

Because of the help of the other party, the anti-monopoly investigation that was originally launched against IBm in January 1969 was a little earlier.

But this is also inevitable. After all, IBm’s sales have increased so much, and the other party’s current market share has reached an unprecedented 81%.

Although Catherine was very dark and funny, the media who didn't know the truth came to join in the fun.

—After all, Catherine is already half a celebrity, and her products have already entered the offices of these media companies. This kind of manuscript processing equipment is simply an artifact for these media.

Because of this, many people now know about Catherine's aRk company, as well as Catherine herself.

"ARk Group's compromise? IBm's gospel?"

"The magical girl's magic power is exhausted?"

"Mr. Watson, how much did UA cost to hire this reinforcement from aRk?"

All kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky for a while.

What makes Catherine laugh or cry most is that in some gossip tabloids that broadcast celebrity news, her name appears, saying that she likes old men...

Well, in fact, when these news appeared, Catherine was just looking at a joke, and her main gaze now was on IBm.

In fact, when Watson Jr. heard the news, he was also taken aback and couldn't believe it.

This…

Did the other party really withdraw from the mainframe market?

Do not

Little Watson wouldn't think so.

After all, the other party's "billion-time computer" plan has just begun, and the other party has absolutely no intention of canceling it.

Little Watson's computer itself is not too good, it can only have tens of thousands of calculations per second.

Even the products that Seymour Clay launched earlier are better than his products.

Moreover, the funds of up to 100 million yuan, compared with Seymour Crevan, are really far behind.

However, Little Watson has a large output

Although Craig's products are cheap, fast, and free of bugs, but no output, how can they be comparable to IBm?

The 10,000-time computer currently studied by the Great God Cree can also be said to be able to kill each other in seconds, but how can the poor double-digit output be comparable to IBm's 50,000 mainframes?

It is impossible for Catherine to give up her basic set, so Watson Jr. can be said to be confident when facing each other's products.

Even if the other party puts 400 million yuan into production to build a factory, it is still impossible for aRk Group to enter the mainframe market. At most, they will increase production to hundreds of digits. This poses no threat to IBm. .

In fact, the mainframe market, like the microcomputer market, is not saturated.

In the "historical" IBm can make a profit of more than 100 million yuan, it is clear.

But... the other party is really this kind of person who will give up?

Little Watson didn't believe it.

He looked at the reports and felt very anxious.

Although he is the son of Thomas Watson and is known as Watson Jr., in fact, he is now many years old.

Little Watson intuitively feels the martial universe, the Holy King makes the sacred king, the night kills the god, the **** seal, the throne seeks the devil, the goddess, the strongest abandonment of the young world, the royal family will kill the night **** The imperial martial arts will kill the gods and seal the throne to ask the devil, proud of the world, the strongest, and abandon the Shao Da Zhou imperial gods, will kill the gods, the **** seal, the strongest, and abandon the imperial clan of Shao Da Zhou. It was the weasel who gave the rooster a New Year's greetings—not at ease.

Although things were not right, Watson Jr. couldn't tell where it was.

If it is normal, Watson Jr. might still be able to think calmly.

But the antitrust investigation by the judiciary made Watson a headache.

Watson Jr. was having a headache over there, but Catherine had already begun to set the company on horsepower.

After all, the US economy has been in recession since 1969.

There is still a year away from that time now.

Although the electronics industry did not decline at this time, it has achieved a vigorous development.

But... after all, this was the beginning of the depression, especially after that, in 1971, the Bretton Woods system in the United States collapsed, the dollar and gold were decoupled, and the price of gold soared...

By the way, when the price of gold soars, you can make a fortune...

Catherine thought of this and wrote such a sum in her notebook.

Then, Catherine thought of President Nixon.

This guy was really sad. As soon as he came up, he encountered an economic recession and finally saw the life-saving straw in China, but soon his company broke the "Watergate Incident."

Thinking of the "Watergate Incident," Catherine thought of the controller, Hoover.

In history, there is a saying that Hoover was holding Nixon’s handle. Just a month before the Watergate incident, Hoover passed away, and then Nixon went to the Watergate Building to install a wiretap—just to find out what Hoover had control of. What evidence of yourself.

Of course, this is just a statement. After all, the official conclusion has already been made...

Another business opportunity was the oil crisis in 1973, and that oil crisis was not comparable to the current "Six-Day War". It was truly violent.

Immediately afterwards, Catherine thought about the planetary plan in the 1980s, the "Vantaa Project" she recorded in her notebook, and the US-Japan Plaza Agreement...

Of course, these will not affect Catherine for the time being. What she has to do now is to continue the exhibition. It is best to beat the IBm to the ground...or rather, it does not have to be beaten to the ground.

The speculative industry is indeed a hugely profitable industry, but such a speculative industry also has to pay a huge price.

If IBm was still lingering at that time, it would be very troublesome for himself to speculate in gold.

After all, although the price of gold has skyrocketed, it will take one or two years, and after speculating in gold, you immediately need to move to the oil market.

Therefore, within such a period of time, I need to face the impact of Japanese companies, Motorola's knife behind, and IBm's frontal attack...

In the end, I am afraid that my own capital chain can only be a tragedy.

So Catherine had to settle a family first anyway.

Japanese manufacturer?

Impossible, they have the entire country to back up-you know, Japanese manufacturers sell TV sets to the United States, but they are all realized at a low price, but in Japan, their prices are as high as $100.

**A hundred-dollar TV?

To be honest, although Catherine considers herself a capitalist, she still can't do such a dark-hearted thing...

And the other one is Motorola.

Motorola is now in its heyday, and even the digital transmission signal for Arrow landing on the moon was developed by Motorola.

And the last one is IBm.

Of course, persimmons have to be soft, and Catherine still understands this.

Moreover, after all, only IBm has a huge contradiction with itself, and the contradiction between other manufacturers and itself has not reached the level of IBm. It can almost be said that it is an endless situation...

Moreover, Motorola’s current rival happens to be Japanese manufacturers, and Motorola is now losing ground. The low-end TV market is almost completely occupied by Japanese manufacturers. The rectangular picture tube jointly developed by Motorola and Sony is amazing, but In front of Catherine’s dazzling TV "TV-", it is not enough to watch, so they are all competing in the low-end market, and the beginning market is controlled by Catherine...

…

the other side.

Gregory is in a good mood today.

Although Aikul did not come as scheduled, she invited a very literate student from the University of California, and she brought this person to the research team of "The Wizarding World", but the other party is still at the University of California, so both parties Temporarily use the network to communicate.

This person's Id is the Cubs Gate.

This person is actually very famous, because in an accident not long ago, this guy lost the things of the man, but fortunately the egg was still there, and after the operation, although the function was temporarily lost, but fortunately it was reconnected.

Immortal Gregory: I have made the basic structure of the game, but I think we need a story, a fascinating story, so that everyone can like our game.

Aikur: Maybe, but I think we only need to get the ready-made ones, isn't it all right?

Immortal Gregory: But we will be sued, right? This is an infringement.

Cubs Gate: We should write a novel, and then become famous, so that our game can be played.

Immortal Gregory: It seems to be a good idea, and it can also be regarded as a line of the story. If it is long enough, we can use this story to build our entire world.

Aikur: What about the specific story?

Cubs Bear Gate: A boy, his parents died because of the war of magicians when he was a child, and then he aspired to become a magician, and then married his own sister. Isn't this a good story?

At this time, another person suddenly went online.

Angela: Why is it a sister and not a sister?

Cactus Gate: All those who like my sister are paper tigers.

Angela: "_"! (text emoji)

Cuckoo Gate: Don’t you think it’s a great thing to be able to marry your own sister?

Ekul: o~ It sounds pretty good. If you write down both of these stories, maybe our game script will be done.

Immortal Gregory: Hey, don’t just talk about such topics casually.

Gregory feels his head is big...this is a taboo topic...
