Reborn American Tyrant

Chapter 16: Bite an Apple

William White's youth shocked several guys.Although Qiao Dashen is also very young, but this guy is in the second half, deliberately making himself very mature.

The two companies are very close.Just a few steps away.The Apple guys were obviously earlier than the agreed time.

If in more formal occasions, such behavior is very impolite.It doesn't matter in Silicon Valley.This is a world of young people.If you are too hypocritical, you will be laughed at.

After a short greeting.William White was not too polite and took them directly to the meeting room.

In the eyes of these people, William White is more like an engineer.Although I wore a suit, it was not a very formal suit.Dressed closer to Silicon Valley engineers.Not the elite of Wall Street.

The meeting room also seemed a little messy.There are four or five Apple computers on a huge conference table.Obviously, these computers have been dismantled, and several of the cases were not even covered.

This messy situation did not make them dissatisfied.Instead, it made them more happy.

"Everyone, how is the coffee? There is nothing else here. I haven't officially opened here yet. There is really no way."

"You are welcome, the coffee is very good. Mr. White, can you let us take a look at the software first?"

"Markula, you'd better call me William. Before the projector is installed, I will use this guy to demonstrate. The computers in front of you are installed. You can also see for yourself."

"Okay, William, I'm looking forward to it."

"Thank you, what we launched this time is an office suite. It is composed of a word processing system and forms."

"For small and medium-sized enterprises, these charts with functional functions can solve many problems. Such as personnel wages, such as product inventory."

For this thing, several senior Apple executives are obviously very interested.To be precise, I was very excited.

This is the actual use of the computer.It's hard to say whether it's personal.SMEs really need this thing too much.

Well, the calculation speed is not too fast.

But there is no problem at all.SMEs do not need to be so fast.They are still using calculators.For accounting and warehouse management.This form is almost universal.Most importantly, the operation is extremely simple.

"The other set of software is a word processing system. As you all know, word processors are now very popular." William White squeezed his eyes and said.

"But word processors have a lot of problems. And to be honest, its price is definitely not cheap."

"William, interrupt. Although your thing is good, it obviously cannot replace a word processor."

"Haha, I understand what you mean, you mean there is no output function?"

"Yes, the consumables are expensive. But they can print it out."

"Haha, Jobs, we actually solved this problem."

"you sure?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure, I used your expansion card slot. Although this solution is still very expensive. But it is not too big a problem. Not every computer needs printing. A small company only needs one. That's it. Medium-sized companies may also be two or three."

"Tom, go and bring an Epson printer."

"Okay, boss,"

In fact, the people at Apple had already noticed that expansion card.They just don't understand the specific role.

Now it is clear that everything here is very good.Basically even tailor-made.Great God Qiao is actually slandering.Such a good thing.It was not made by a small company.It would be great if it were a small company.Before they develop, just buy them directly.

Now it's impossible, people make it clear that it is not bad for money.Let's forget about the acquisition. Listening to what others mean, I am also very optimistic about Apple, and it does not rule out the acquisition of some shares.

"William, your stuff is good, but I don't know the price? What can we get?"

William White knew that the topic was coming. No matter how good it was, it would be useless. If the price is too expensive, this thing cannot be sold.

"Markula, don't worry about the price. The user price of the spreadsheet is US$99, and the price of the word processing software is US$49. You can also buy the package, and the price is US$139."

"As for Apple's profit, I think you can get the goods at 30% off. You can also tie-in. We can provide the OEM version of the software for only $129."

To be honest, the price is very low.If there are not enough users, White Software's profits are worrisome.

It is precisely because of this price that Apple sees their ambitions.In the eyes of Apple executives, each software does not exceed two hundred dollars.There is no need to worry about selling this thing.There are no competitors in the market.There is only one reason for being so cheap. People want to monopolize this market.

Several senior executives of Apple are very entangled.It is unrealistic to want to occupy this software.They refused without even thinking about it.The only way is to speed up your own publicity.They have the first mover advantage after all.If that doesn't work, then there is really nothing to complain about.

On the surface, the Apple guys are very calm.But when they returned to their company, these guys quickly became excited.

There is no doubt that White Software opened a window.Their success will also stimulate other companies.Programming is not a problem at all, creativity is the key to the problem.

This period of time is undoubtedly the window period.William White bluntly said that other personal PCs are more like a game console. If it weren't for Apple's second-generation machine, he would not have made this software.

But these are the advantages of Apple, if they do not speed up.Other competitors will soon catch up.It may be a price war at that time.

The young Apple moved very quickly.They quickly finalized the details of the contract.

But White Software seems to be faster.They immediately provided the product.Speed ​​is a miracle.Except for the OEM version, there is no way to provide it in time.Everything else is in place.

"Oh my God, Jobs, this thing won't be done now. They have done it long ago."

"Yeah! This is a lunatic. There is so much inventory. What if we don't sell it for him?"

"Will you? Old Joe."

"will not."

"He is not a lunatic, he is sure that we can't refuse. If we really refuse, those competitors will laugh to death."

"Oh! It's a pity that it can't be controlled within our system."

"He won't agree. People are right. We have about six months. Those opponents will definitely catch up."

The company's business development is so smooth, the company's employees are naturally very happy.Of course, Fu Bo is the most excited.Looking at the current posture, this so-called software can really exchange money.

30% off?

The triumph may be crazy, and the rise of the family is just around the corner.
