Reborn Capital Madman

I guess Frank Cary was still worried about his disobedience when he was frightened by Gao Xian's high price, and finally joked: "Sir Gao successfully acquired Xiangjiang Land. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the largest in the world this year.

After the acquisition, why? Sir Gao has finished his "buy" addiction and wants to set another world record in "selling"? You should know that when ibm developed its own large computer system/360, the amount of funds invested was approximately

Five billion dollars.”

Although there were differences between the two sides, the atmosphere of the talks was still very friendly, so Gao Xian explained it with a smile, "Frank, I think there are some key points that need to be fully analyzed openly and thoroughly."

"First of all, ibm acquired Huanyu Computer Company, not only obtained the best personal computers, but also obtained a complete system that is most likely to become the standard in the personal computer industry, and thus occupying the dominant position in the personal computer market."

"We don't have to rush to argue about this now. It's not too late to communicate in detail after the visit."

Seeing Frank Cary nodding in agreement, Gao Xian continued to say: "Secondly, I have no doubt that ibm can also develop personal computers. After all, ibm's strong technical background is widely recognized."

Gao Xian affirmed ibm very seriously, making Frank Cary nodded again with smugness, and said to himself, "You are not blinded by greed."

However, Gao Xian's next words quickly dissipated Frank Cary's sense of superiority.

"Although ibm can definitely develop personal computers, it is difficult to determine how long it takes for a new product to be launched and whether it can be recognized by the market." Gao Xian looked at Frank Cary and smiled slightly, "This is

The company is dragged down by the disease of a large company that is not unique to ibm. Otherwise, there would be no need for the CEO of ibm who is busy with a lot of money to come to Xiangjiang."

Before Frank Cary could react, Gao Xian continued to analyze: "After all, in the past ten years, ibm has been doing business with the official government, large enterprises, and a set of products cost millions of dollars, and thousands of them like personal computers.

For cheap US dollar products, let alone whether ibm engineers have the motivation to do it, I'm afraid even the clues will be difficult to sort out for a while."

"After all, the needs of personal computers are currently targeted at individual families and small and medium-sized enterprises, which are very different from those of the main house and large enterprises. In addition, in terms of pricing systems, market operations, etc., it cannot be copied based on existing experience."

"For example, ibm completes a product life cycle in the field of large computers, such as system/360 upgraded to system/370, for about ten years; while the development of personal computers is changing with each passing day, basically one generation will evolve in two years.

I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for ibm to adapt to this rhythm."

Listening to Gao Xian's story, Frank Cary even began to doubt whether he had been arranged by the other party to have a commercial spy. How could every sentence hit the nail on the head and feel so heartbreaking?

In fact, since seeing the popularity of Huanyu personal computer running spreadsheet programs, Frank Cary realized that personal computers are not toys and the future prospects are immeasurable, so he ordered his managers to pay attention, but unfortunately

The thing is, ibm is too big, the bureaucracy is deeply rooted, and has been in the "comfort zone" of the main computers for too long, so he is slow to react to new things from top to bottom, even his CEO

Being powerless.

Frank Cary, who was unwilling to accept it, retorted: "Sir Gao compared his personal computer with a large computer's life cycle, which is purely a layman. How powerful is the function of a large computer? He invested heavily accordingly, how could it be just two seconds.

One generation will be eliminated in one year!”

In fact, if Frank Cary didn't say that, he could do something strong on the outside but the inside, but he just talked too much, which made Gao Xian feel convinced that he would have to take ibm.

"In recent years, there has been a phenomenon in the semiconductor industry, that is, the number of transistors that can be accommodated on integrated circuits will double every two years or even shorter, and in other words, double the performance."

Xian said without a doubt: "This is the technological driving force behind the rapid development of personal computers."

"It can be completely expected that the current market demand served by large computers will still exist in the future, but the solution is no longer a large computer, but a new solution derived from increasingly powerful personal computer technology.

”

"This is why ibm must not miss the current wave of personal computer development. Moreover, in the buffering stage of the old and new alternating new, personal computers can be used as the front end and connected to the ibm main computer in the background, so that it will not be eliminated by the times so quickly

.”

"On the other hand, mainframe computers have not fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the whole society to use computers, but personal computers can do this."

"I think ibm will not despise the huge market for the use of computers in the whole society because he is used to the business of the official government and large enterprises. This is just like airplanes and cannons will only sell well during the war, while food, clothing, housing and transportation are always available.

need."

Although it was uncomfortable to listen to Gao Xian's statement that the main product of ibm - the main computer, would be eliminated, Frank Carrie had to admit that in addition to convinced him, Gao Xian's words also had

A feeling of enlightenment in front of me.

Seeing Frank Cary in a contemplative manner, Gao Xian suggested: "Frank, we might as well visit. Many views are easier to understand only by referring to the facts."

"Okay." Frank Cary nodded. He really wanted to see why Gao Xian dared to offer Huanyu Computer Company for 4 billion US dollars.

After the other idle people quit, Gao Xian said to Frank Carrie again: "ibm is a great company, and every CEO has his own great achievements."

"In the era of Thomas Watson, ibm has dominated the dominance of the electromechanical watchmaker for more than 40 years; in the era of Thomas Watson, ibm has dominated the dominance of the large computer for more than 20 years."

"The market will not be eternal. If Thomas Watson Jr. had not led ibm to product transformation more than 20 years ago, then ibm would have been the same as everyone else."

"Now, ibm has reached the intersection again. Frank, whether your achievements can be on par with the Watson and his son, rather than eating the old capital left by little Watson depends on the courage."

Frank Carrie looked around with a little nervous look, and found that no one heard this, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said in annoyance: "Sir Gao, you are really thinking about people everywhere!"

"You don't need to doubt my motivation." Gao Xian said proudly: "Huanyu Computer Company is different from Kang Maoda, Apple Computer Company and other peers. The consortium behind it has stronger support and has a lot of capital to taste the personal computer market step by step

The cake.”

"The significance of ibm adding is that ibm is a golden signboard in the corporate market, which helps Huanyu personal computers to accelerate the spread. In other words, although the money you make needs to be shared, the speed of making money has increased."

"This is my motivation. As for whether ibm decides to acquire Huanyu Computer Company, it depends on your own needs."
