Reborn American Tyrant

"Abandon the personal PC? Bill, this is not a constructive suggestion. The market for mainframes and mid-size computers is shrinking. As for minicomputers, it is simply a disaster."

"Mr. Gerstner, IBM does not have a price advantage. As you can see, Dell is the fastest-growing company now. It is very difficult for Compaq to maintain the current situation.

Of course, if you have a breakthrough in technology, or you can solve the high price.In the case of close prices, IBM's brand appeal is still very large."

The meeting with Bill Gates was nothing pleasant.Thinking about it, it is also frustrated, that slick kid can basically talk to them on an equal footing.

He is in a bad mood, but Bill Gates is in a good mood.After so many years, he is really recognized by Microsoft.Negotiating fairly with IBM, this is still something that many companies cannot expect.

Does Gerstner have the ability to lead IBM to stand up? His view is different from William White.In his opinion, there is no obvious difference between IBM's computer and Compaq, even if it is relatively cheap Dell, there is not much difference in use.

If speaking with Bill Gates, Gerstner still has some confidence.The meeting with William White, he really lacked confidence.

William White is already the largest individual shareholder of IBM.From this perspective, he is just a worker.

"Mr. Gerstner, the boss is in his private office, please come with me."

"Okay, thank you."

Looking at the layout of the White Center, Gerstner couldn't help but sigh, saying how arrogant and extravagant the IBM country club is.Look at the White Center.

Along the way, Gerstner noticed that most of the personal PCs used here are from IBM.

"Hello, Louis, this is William White, and you are welcome to come here as a guest."

William White directly addressed the old Guo Luiz, which is actually somewhat disrespectful.But in Gerstner's eyes, this is not the case.He noticed that all the laptops and desktops of William White here are from IBM.

If this is not a deliberate arrangement, he can basically judge that William White is a loyal supporter of IBM.This unexpected situation really made him dumbfounded. Bill Gates, the kid, didn't spend much time seeing IBM computers.

"Hello, Mr. White, I'm sorry to disturb you."

William White waved his hand and motioned, "Just call me William, as my friends call me."

When William White said so, Gerstner was even more relaxed.Very well, this guy is not arrogant, he is a very easygoing person at all.The rumors from the outside world are very different from the facts.

"Give up personal PC? Hahaha, let me guess, is that the bastard Bill gave you the advice?"

Ahem, Gerstner's expression is a bit wonderful, he really didn't expect that William White would be so direct.

"Let's put it this way, Louis, from his point of view, you can't say he was wrong. IBM's price is too high, and personal PC users are extremely price-sensitive.

However, although this thing is called a PC, it is only used in the office. These companies may not care much about the price difference of about 15%.

As for those individuals, let's be honest, if you can't show your sincerity, they won't buy it."

"William, I noticed that almost all of your equipment here is ours. Is this price insensitive?"

"Not exactly. Relatively speaking, your computer is more stable. As for those performance defects, the White system produces expansion cards. As long as there is a PCI interface, these are not problems."

Gerstner was dumbfounded, yes, the boards produced by the White system are all compatible with IBM, or in other words, they are optimistic about this market.However, so far, the Blue Giant has not adopted it, Nima, is this considered arrogance and prejudice.

"3D accelerator card is very cool, our next model will have this consideration."

"Actually, 2.5D is suitable. Your target customers are still business-oriented. It is necessary to enhance graphics processing capabilities. As for other things, it doesn't make much sense for the time being.

Louis, personal PCs are a very large market, and Compaq Dell can't eat them no matter how."

During the next visit, Gerstner also opened his eyes.With just a 3D accelerator card, the White system has several R&D teams.

Thinking of this, Gerstner was a little annoyed.A 3D accelerator card has 64 megabytes of memory. Their designers are still arguing about whether four megabytes is better or eight megabytes.

Nima, when is it now, still considering whether it will impact the minicomputer market.

This White Center is not only luxurious.Except for the floor of William White, all people in other places used to run.

Alas, if the Blue Giant employees are like this, why should I destroy the country club?

It is simply a bad idea to take back employee benefits hastily.If it is not a last resort, why should Gerstner be this villain.The buddies only work part-time. It is really not a pleasant thing to make hundreds of thousands of employees and family members hate themselves.

Mad, you would say that the welfare of the White system is better than ours, and they are fine for Mao.You don't come here to see, what kind of efficiency people are here, and what kind of efficiency are you.

Hey, William White, this bastard, really enjoys it.

William White and Bill Gates, these are basically two styles.Simply speaking, who is better, there is really no way to tell.

Gerstner was very curious, and William White's familiarity with IBM was beyond his imagination.From this point of view, he was well prepared to invest in IBM.

Lao Guo will definitely not give up the PC, this is unmistakable.It is true that if all the unprofitable departments are cut off, IBM can quickly return to profitability.

But, in this way, is this Nima still called the Giant Blue?To be more mean, just call you the Smurf.

The cake of the PC industry is so big that it uses all IBM standards.To be honest, William White couldn't figure it out. Bill Gates is the one they have a grudge.

"Boss, Gerstner is crazy, or Bill Gates took the wrong medicine. We all want to get into the PC market, and they actually plan to give up."

"Haha, it's just a smoke bomb. As for Bill Gates, this guy may have been bullied by IBM before. This is an intention to throw a stone."

"That's not the case, if there is no giant blue..."

"Philson, there is a saying in the celestial dynasty called Shengmi En Dou Miqiu. This sentence means that you can help others, but you can't be too much. You see, I have not also encountered trouble in Africa.

Damn, you gave back 150,000 tons of wheat last year, so why is there only 100,000 tons this year?Why are you taking our food.Look, this is their truth."

Philson was a little speechless, he really didn't understand what was wrong with these guys' brain circuits.

"Boss, it seems that charity is not impossible. It must be cautious."

"Haha, actually, what do they think, do I need to care. Since I don't like it, some things are left to the WFP people to do it, and it is most suitable to avoid direct relationships as much as possible."

Charity can make oneself depressed, which is also a kind of strange work.

William White now understands why those wealthy people are willing to take care of the stray cats and do not care about the homeless.The sages of the celestial dynasty made it very clear thousands of years ago.
