With the introduction of RCA products, all the activities in the morning have come to an end. The Black Cloud Exhibition Hall has once again become a place for everyone to gather, and seeing that Black Cloud can attract so many customers just by preparing some buffets and pastries. Many exhibitors have silently kept it in mind, and they will definitely do this in their booths in the future. This is a typical representative of spending a small amount of money to do big things, and they are all multinational companies who come to participate in the exhibition, and no one cares about this money.

Heiyun employees have become the busiest people in the exhibition hall, not only to arrange customer meals, but also to prepare contracts to ensure that they can sign contracts with customers at any time.

At this moment, Bao Zixuan once again saw Phil Hawkins coming over with two beauties. Now that Louise Rockefeller's due date is quite close, I didn't expect to dare to come out at this time. Foreigners are really incomprehensible sometimes, and their physique is really strong.

Phil Hawkins: "Bag, you always have ideas that no one else can think of. No matter how the old companies suppress you, you are still you. There are still so many customers, which is really enviable. ”

Bao Zixuan: "I said, Phil." Now that Louise is in a state, you dare to take her out, your heart is really big. ”

Phil Hawkins: "I don't want to, but there's no one to do about it." Fortunately, we came here by private jet, otherwise Europe would not have allowed us to enter. ”

"By the way, the child will be born in about half a month, as the best man at the wedding, and at the same time take on the responsibility of the child's godfather, the gift should not be too shabby. ”

Bao Zixuan: "Who said that the best man is going to be the godfather of the child, I don't have a wife to be a godfather!"

Phil Hawkins: "We don't have as many rules as you Xiangjiang people, I say you are you." As the godfather of your children, you can't be stingy. ”

Bao Zixuan: "No problem, I'll give my child a car when the time comes." The car that is scaled down according to the ratio allows him to drive a luxury car from a young age, and it is built by hand. ”

When he saw Louise's belly, Bao Zixuan thought that he could shrink Heiyun's existing models according to the scale. To create an electric children's car, and to ensure the original production, there is definitely a market, and there will be collectible value in the future.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's evil smile, Phil Hawkins said: "Didn't you think of any good ideas or any good products. ”

Bao Zixuan: "There is a product suitable for children, and I think there should be a market for promoting it." ”

Phil Hawkins: "You're always a surprise, but I made a plan as you told me last time. You see what else needs to be added, and if there are no problems we can start the project. ”

Bao Zixuan took the project plan and said: "I will watch it carefully, even if you don't participate, I will start the project." If your plan can impress me, you can implement your plan. If there's nothing new, then I won't necessarily take you to play. It's too late for you to take it back now. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Diana Rockefeller who was following behind, and the three people who knew that they couldn't escape Bao Zixuan's eyes smiled. Louise Rockefeller said: "Bag, no matter how you have to give it a chance, I believe our plan will satisfy you." ”

The three of them left after speaking, after all, Louise's body was strong and it was impossible to stay outside for too long.

Bao Zixuan entered the narrator mode again, and saw that Bao Zixuan didn't say a word to himself. Diana Rockefeller was very unhappy in her heart, thinking that she must find an opportunity to get the field back.

In the afternoon, there were two companies in the exhibition to do new product recommendation activities, and the first Bao Zixuan did not expect it. It's Carl Zeiss, but it's Carl Zeiss AG in West Germany. They actually launched their own digital cameras, which surprised a lot of people.

Carl Zeiss AG can be said to be a must-win this time, knowing that there are many companies that have entered the digital camera. However, as the world's most powerful optical giant, they insisted that Kodak agree to cooperate in the development of digital cameras. In this way, the patent barriers of Heiyun were bypassed, so that Kodak would have to buy a license from Heiyun if it wanted to enter the field of digital cameras in the future.

Carl Zeiss is worthy of being a veteran camera company, and for the first time it produced digital products, it actually came up with an 8 million pixel product. This is a height that no company in the world can reach, and Bao Zixuan knows when he sees this. Black Cloud has more and more competitors, and they are getting stronger and stronger.

If you want to develop rapidly in the future, you still have to continue to launch new products, and you must be more willing to invest in scientific research. Carl Zeiss's digital cameras are more expensive than similar products in Black Cloud, but many people will pay for this difference after a hundred years of brand precipitation.

The price of Carl Zeiss AG's digital camera is set at $3,188, which is an 8-million-pixel digital camera. The cost performance can be said to be very high, but Bao Zixuan knows that the other party's strength has not yet been fully exerted. With Carl Zeiss's technical reserves, their laboratory definitely has something better, probably because there is no market for face because of the cost problem.

Carl Zeiss's digital cameras will definitely steal some of Heiyun's customers, but it will not affect the overall situation. However, everyone has to pay attention to the next company to appear.

No company in the world can occupy their market share in the industry, and if it weren't for the antitrust investigation in the United States, it is estimated that they can fly now.

Bao Zixuan also watched what was happening on the stage for the first time, and he wanted to get first-hand information. This opponent is so strong that he has made himself into a situation where he has no friends.

IBM's history dates back a few decades before the development of electronic computers, which operated punched card data processing equipment. IBM was registered as a CTR firm on June 15, 1911 in Endicott, New York, a few miles west of Binghamton. Three separate companies merged to form CTR: The Counting Machine Company (founded in Washington, D.C. in 1896), the Calculation Table Company (founded in Dayton, Ohio, in 1901), and Time Records International (founded in Endicott, New York, in 1900). At that time, the president and founder of the list machine company was Herman Hollerith. The key figure behind the merger was financier Charles Flint, who rallied the founders of the three companies to propose a merger and served in the CTR until his retirement in 1930.

Thomas J. Watson, the founder of IBM, became general manager of CTR in 1914 and president in 1915. In 1917, CTR entered the Canadian market as International Business Machines Ltd., and on February 14, 1924, it changed its name to International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).

The company merged into CTR to manufacture a variety of products, including employee timing systems, scales, automatic meat cutters, and most importantly, the development of computers, punch card equipment.

IBM invested $1 million in 1932 to build its first corporate laboratory, which led to a leading technology product in the '30s. Throughout the Great Depression, IBM invested in R&D and new products that were better, faster, and more reliable than all other companies, and it won the exclusive contract to represent Roosevelt's New Deal accounting program. In 1935, IBM's card counting machine products had occupied 85.7% of the U.S. market, and IBM accumulated strong financial resources and strong sales and service capabilities due to the large number of sales of card machines, which laid an important foundation for becoming the dominant computer field in the future.

IBM has a long history with China. As early as 1934, IBM installed the first commercial processing machine for Peking Union Medical College Hospital. In 1936, IBM's first office in the Far East was set up in Shanghai, laying the foundation for its development in China and even the entire East Asian region. In 1937, China's first transatlantic telephone was dialed from IBM's Shanghai office, opening up a new way for China to connect with the world.

In the 60's, IBM was the largest of the eight major computer companies (UNIVAC, Urban Life, Scientific Data Systems, Control Data, General Electric, American Radio, Honeywell). People talking about it will say "IBM and the Seven Stars" because other companies or their computer divisions are smaller. Only Urban Life, UNIVAC, NCR, and Honeywell produced hosts, and then someone said "IBM and B.U.N.C.H." Today, most of IBM's competitors are long gone, with the exception of Unisys, which is due to many mergers including UNIVAC and Urban Life. NCR, Honeywell gave up the general mainframe, small department and focused on the profitable product market, NCR did the cash register (hence the name is the national cash register), Honeywell became the dominant in the constant temperature market. General Electric is still the largest company in the world, but it no longer operates in the computer market. At that time, the IBM computer series won a position in the market and is still growing today. Formerly known as IBM System/360, it is a more modern 64-bit form factor and is now known as an IBM-resident system (often referred to as an "IBM host").

With the advent of semiconductor integrated circuits, IBM actively invested in the production of third-generation integrated circuit computers. In 1964, IBM announced the advent of the mainframe era with the introduction of the groundbreaking System/360 mainframe computer. The advent of System/360 represents a common language for the world's computers, all of which share an operating system codenamed OS/360 (rather than a tailor-made OS for every product). Since then, almost all computer research and development in the world have been based on the IBM 360 series system, which has become an important trend worldwide.

IBM's success in the mid-1960s led the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate IBM for antitrust violations, January 17, 1969. The case was filed by IBM in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit alleges that IBM violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act by monopolizing or attempting to monopolize the market for general-purpose digital electronic computer systems, particularly commercially designed computers. The lawsuit, which lasted until 1983, had a significant impact on the company's practices.

In 1975, IBM produced four times as many computers as all other computer manufacturers in the world combined, and became a joint enterprise integrating scientific research, production, sales, technical services and education and training.

In the 60s and 70s of the 20th century, the rapid development of the computer industry promoted by IBM played a key role in promoting the development of all aspects of society, such as assisting NASA in establishing the Apollo 11 database, completing the astronaut landing program on the moon, establishing an inter-bank transaction system, and setting up the largest online ticketing system in the aviation industry.
