Chapter 357 Only benefits are eternal
"Gordon, is there a way to ease relations now?" A clueless sentence, Andy Grove understands that after so many years with this old guy, who would not know whom.
Andy Grove stood up and opened some of the windows slightly. The mosquitoes that have been smoked with two big smoke guns for a long time, if they don't breathe anymore, they themselves may be finished first.
"Old man, this one looks hard. William White's strategy has changed significantly, and this change has been forced by us, consciously or unconsciously, and I can't really say anything about that" In Andy Grove's opinion, they guys screwed up in the beginning. All this time, William White has not tried to open up the upstream and downstream relationships. He produces CPUs, produces dynamic memory, produces video acceleration cards, and produces LCD panels.
In this way, of course, he can turn these things into products. In the PC market in the 80s, Kangmaoda and Texas Instruments did just that, and the personal PC market below 500 US dollars was strangled by the two of them.
Turn to William White, who is more powerful and more capitalized. However, he did not touch on the production of the final product. In this regard, William White and Intel are very similar.
It's very boring to grab the market with your own customers. There is really no need to start with wool as a tailor who makes clothes, only by division of labor and cooperation can one thing be done perfectly.
However, a bunch of silly 13 don't seem to appreciate it.
Since you don't have a terminal product, what else is there to say, try not to buy it with you, your William White family has enough money, there is really no need to increase more.
It's a pity that they forgot a basic common sense. Compared with the design and assembly of PCs, the investment in semiconductors is larger, the product cycle is longer, and the competitors are relatively concentrated.
Speaking of which, there are any easy people in the enterprises that can survive under the siege of Xiao Yuben. The cost is higher than others, and the final retail price is at least 10% higher, so if you don't die, it is estimated that you can't die.
This group of guys would never have dreamed that due to the price war initiated by William White, the semiconductor industry would be directly stirred up. Rather than weakening the guy, boycotting the White system helped him cut out a number of potential opponents.
Even better now, with the advent of the legendary computer, the war will extend further downstream.
You see, the currency is unified, and there are no exchange losses. Although Europe's financial markets have been hit by the collapse of the Nasdaq, their trade with each other has been accelerating, and if it were not for this, how could William White's think tank make a judgment on further investment.
Compared with what exchange losses, William White integrated the industry after the cost advantage, the discerning people can see very clearly, the successful listing of the second generation of legendary computers, but also let many people understand that the cheap PC disaster in the eighties is likely to be staged again.
The laptop with more than 1,000 US dollars directly caught many people off guard. Now this is just a Windows system, and how cheap the next Android version will be makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.
It's hard to say in other places, and I'm afraid that the market in the big rabbit country will be troublesome. Do you have pre-installed win98,People really don't care,As long as the performance is stable and the price is cheap,I don't care what system you have。
As for the sake?
Ten dollars for a Microsoft family photo, but also intimate with commonly used software. The only thing that people didn't expect was the software store.
Yes, there are a lot of paid software, but a significant part of it is free. In this way, the income of the software store in the big rabbit country is also good, other or not, but the payment rate of antivirus software is still quite good. If it weren't for some barriers to online payments, William White believes that number would have been higher.
In the past, Intel didn't care about the legendary world, because everyone didn't have much intersection. Speaking of contradictions, or some, they gave up the dynamic memory, but William White picked it up. Later it turned out that they did look stupid.
Only the CPU packaging factory in the Lion City, which was originally intended to be a quiet third-party supplier, had no intention of participating in their battle with AMD.
But now the situation is a little different, and since you can break the tacit understanding, William White doesn't matter. Many people may not realize that if he exerts the price advantage of Treasure Island and Big Rabbit Country to the limit. Hehe, it's impossible to dominate the world, and most PC manufacturers have suffered heavy losses, but it's not too difficult.
"Meet me? Tom, Andy Grove, what's going on? As far as I know, they don't seem to like doing business with us. ”
Looking at the fat cat Tom's greasy head, William White was a little speechless. This goods, which is driven like a donkey all day long, is still getting fatter and fatter.
"The bosses, Dell and Compaq, which are based on AMD's personal PCs, were only two weeks behind us in the market. Now, with the exception of IBM and Apple, almost all PC manufacturers are starting to turn around.
Just now, AMD's stock price actually bucked the trend and rose. As for Intel, it seems that the situation is even worse, and they do not seem to have anything to do other than increase the frequency of the Pentium III again. ”
For Intel's dilemma, William White is happy to see it. Sometimes it's hard to understand how it is possible to do such a strange thing when a very wise person is in management.
"Hmph, when they were short of my processors, did they think that there would be this result. They actually asked me to go to the market to recycle, no, no, unless they have a beautiful girl to send it. ”
Tom the fat cat shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly: "What, boss, even if you really have a girl, you are already very old, you are really a little disadvantaged!"
I can't say, what should I do if I give you money then?"
Poof, William White squirted immediately. Nima, this obscene fat man is really disgusting, but William White can't help but snort when those inopportune scenes cross his head.
Hey, it's terrible, dude, is this a dregs?
Tom the fat cat looked bitter 13, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his head very resentfully, Nima, fortunately, it is just mineral water, if it is coffee.
The reason why he joked unscrupulously was because the boss didn't care. In business, there is no such thing as an immutable opponent. Palmerston's sentence that there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, is very appropriate here.
William White had no intention of expanding sales of cheap PCs, he was not Commoda or Texas Instruments. The fate of these two second-hand goods is not very good, it can be seen that the means of extending the industrial chain are inappropriate in the IT industry.
