Chapter 251 System/The Mire

"Okay, just put it over there."

Old White directed the servants to put the new model in his showroom.

It was another set of corsets, and Old White was very satisfied.

Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer nv people wearing corsets.

Excessive restraint of the body will deform a person's ribs and squeeze the space in the stomach and intestines. After hundreds of years of restraint in corsets, nv people finally chose the latter among the beautiful Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao mall Taobao women's winter coat m and Survival.

Moreover, the "skirt**" of the "Angel Fashion Design Company"-as it is called in the newspaper-has completely shattered and smashed people's traditional concepts.

From ancient whalebone corsets to later cloth corsets, as well as rare corsets like De Mello, he has all of them in his collection.

In the words of a few years later, it is not too much to say that Old White is a "dress control".

"Mr. White, your call."

While Old White was looking affectionately at these corsets, a phone call came.

"What... the Soviets?"

Old White frowned when he heard the report.

It seems... things seem to be a little troublesome.

As one of the directors of United Technologies Corporation, Old White is still very concerned about the company's affairs.

Like other arms dealers, a mercenary regiment was also formed. This mercenary regiment acted as the horn of the logistics supply corps in the Vietnam War, greatly saving the US military’s power and allowing the US military to have more time to deal with the Vietnamese. The arms dealers made money, and there is nothing more bang than this.

But after making money, Old White had some other ideas.

Or not just Old White, but other people on the board, and even other companies.

Soon, they set their sights on Africa.

Africa has just left the colonial rule of Europe, many countries have just gained independence, and many countries are unstable internally. Moreover, there are constant conflicts among the various tribes, and wars often explode.

To make matters worse, because of the Middle East war in the past few months, the sight of Europe has almost completely left Africa. At this time, the situation in Africa has become even more hún1uan.

And these well-known capitalists decided at this moment to take advantage of the vacancy and enter Africa.

These arms dealers became the protagonists of the mercenary camp, and Catherine’s umbrella company became a foil—the umbrella also went to Africa, but did not intervene in the war before the tribe, but became a soy sauce (diamond) fight .

Just when everyone thought they could make a lot of money, the headache happened, and that was the Soviet Union.

The intervention of the Soviet Union made these arms dealers start to be cautious.

If it was infiltrated by Soviet spies, or if they were assassinated two or three times... it would be a tragedy.

Old White left home in a hurry, and then went to the company to participate in the board of directors...

...

In the middle of this month, Microsoft was the first IBm system and it went on the market.

This system is named the x-nux system.

Catherine is very satisfied with this system.

However, this system has also caused shocks in the industry.

This is a killer application with all kinds of functions. For mainframes, this is undoubtedly a perfect program for them to use all their power.

And with Microsoft-type computers, it can also manage mainframes more conveniently. I have to say that the combination of these two products is simply amazing.

As a result, the sales of IBm's mainframes rose for a while, and the stock price also soared.

But gradually, some people began to feel uncomfortable.

——How can this xìng be so bad?

After using Catherine's x-nux system, it really feels much more convenient.

What x-nux pays attention to is "automation" and "simplification". For users, they have very few things to do, just netbsp; at the beginning, everyone thought that such a machine was very good. But after using it, people became dissatisfied-the speed of the computer was too slow, and they would have to board for a long time after one instruction.

In fact, even if it takes half a day to board, they can still save a lot of time compared to the original time. But the question is, for a person, ten minutes of concentrating on living time, compared with waiting for five minutes, which one is more unbearable?

Obviously, it is the latter.

As a result, people are dissatisfied.

As a result, IBm's reputation has become worse and worse, on the contrary, Catherine's products have received unanimous praise.

For Catherine, this is good news, but for Watson, this news is not so comfortable.

The computer’s capacity is insufficient

Even if it is an upgraded version, it is difficult to say that it saves a lot of time for the enterprise.

Is it only possible to open a new machine?

Watson was suspicious.

But this has another problem. The other party has made restrictions in the program. These restrictions make this software only run on it. If you open a new software... You know, the current code is copyrighted, this software It was written in C language, so if Watson used it at will, it would be an infringement.

Watson couldn't make such a mistake, he even suspected that the other party did it just to dig a hole to make him jump.

But Watson still leaked news about the research of a new mainframe.

A new generation of machines is a must. This is also the strategy of the company exhibition. Watson decided to adapt to the changes and see what the other party is going to do...

Although there is such a not-so-good news, in addition, another news makes Watson a lot happy-IBm's personal computer research has entered the final stage.

Due to time constraints, the CPUs of IBm’s computers were ordered from Fairchild, not from them. And some other devices are also customized by mén to those third-party manufacturers.

IBm uses a completely different architecture from Microsoft-based computers. IBm calls it bsp; Apple is now in the limelight in the United States. If IBm rushes forward at this time, it will be entangled with the other party, even if IBm I can win in front of me, but the price paid is too great.

So the target of this-s is Japan.

Although the hardware problem is easy to solve, at present, there is no useful operating system on the market. Therefore, the company must develop it as soon as possible. As long as the work in this area is completed, your own The product can be launched.

Early advertisements have already begun to be placed in Japan at this time. IBm is a behemoth and has no rivals in Japan at all.

Worry, anticipation, two moods entangled in Watson's heart...

Catherine didn't understand Watson's thoughts at the moment. At this time, Catherine was playing the game of the great nautical era in the office.

The game now is more complete than it was a few months ago.

Although the current Japanese artists are not as strong as they were in the era, they are still very powerful. Although this is a game with only 16 sè, under the leadership of Annia, they cleverly used the collocation of various colors to create Forests, sands, ice fields, oceans and other terrains.

In this beta version of "The Great Sailing Era", there are already two complete plots of the characters.

Originally, Catherine also considered adding a 2d animation-style cutscenes, but due to technology, the capacity was only the maximum mB, which could not store much time of animation scenes, so Catherine finally gave up.

The next generation of optical drives will be mB capacity optical disc devices.

At least until this time, the application of one's own cutscenes will be possible.

"Well, that's great."

Catherine closed the game with a smile.

Since the last time Larry was given a massage, Catherine asked Larry to come several times.

This kind of massage is carried out after practicing by myself, and it feels very refreshing and comfortable.

"Sister Edson, the operating system we developed for IBm is already on the market." Olsen reported to Catherine, "Sales are very good."

"Well, this is really good news... How did IBm react?" Catherine asked.

"So far they have not expressed any opinions on our products. However, the sales of IBm mainframes have suddenly increased by more than that. I think this should be caused by our products. This is not good news."

Olsen disagreed somewhat with Catherine's ideas.

"Trust my judgment, Olsen."

Catherine smiled.

"Yes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ For Microsoft, this is very good news, but it hurts the overall interests of our company. I am worried that IBm can study the same functions as our software. Some software, in this case, the advantages of our operating system will disappear. Although the x-nux system we deploy can be said to be a killer application, it has a high value for the control, but IBm can also help us Products imitate..."

"Yes, but the copyrights and patents are ours, and IBm has no chance of catching up." Catherine gave Olsen a "relaxed" expression: "Even if they develop these software, it will not be for us. Any questions."

Even if they did, so what?

The xìng can still not be sufficient, and the lost IBm will also lose one of their biggest sources of financial resources.

At this time, IBm’s new machine plan has just begun, but Catherine’s company has already begun research on next-generation computers/mainframes. If there is no accident, the company will definitely be the first to launch new products, and this time , The IBm gap was filled by myself.

At that time, there was nothing IBm...
