Chapter 115: The Inertia of History
Lies are the most convincing thing, half-truths and half-truths are the most convincing, if you want to say that a ton of rice per mu is barely believed, 100,000 catties is too much, this thing may not be able to pile up, let alone seeds.
There has been news of the checkers project, and although many people are skeptical, William White knows that the blue giant has officially entered the field of microcomputers.
As for why it is so low-key, only God knows, the blue giant is a huge machine, it is impossible to change its pace easily, and about microcomputers, they are not taken seriously internally.
Can computers be used in ordinary homes?
They think it's a joke, but it's possible for game consoles, and it's unrealistic to save on the rest.
I don't know if Atari should burst into tears, the blue giant is very optimistic about them. Regarding the arcade game of the world of legends, they don't think it will get into the family.
What is the price of Motorola's 60 CPU, they know very well, a CPU is so expensive, of course there is no problem with the arcade, and who can afford it in the family.
Soon, Intel's 8080 series chips came into their sight, and although the performance was not as good as Motorola's, the price was very reasonable.
In fact, there is another important factor, the IT industry is about inheritance, and the few guys who founded Intel were born with Fairchild Semiconductor. Motorola can't, they belong to the dirt buns.
Texas Instruments?
Those rude cowboys will only mess things up.
Intel in this era is actually in trouble, their main business is not CPU, dynamic memory is the focus of their business.
This is the memory of the afterlife, as long as you have enough American knives, everyone can enter the industry.
As long as production is involved, Intel will basically be beaten, and the memory factory will not only be able to beat Europe, but even the local enterprises in the United States will not be able to beat.
What's even more terrifying is that the foot basin companies have already stepped in this field, and they will definitely not have a good time in the future.
At such an embarrassing point in time, the blue giant extended an olive branch.
William White couldn't help but sigh, the inertia of history is so terrible, Motorola is still ignored, then there is nothing to say, just conform to the inertia of history, and stop trying to change anything.
Office software has finally ushered in a challenger, and the Lotus company led by it is obviously a little aggressive, and intends to give White Software a hate.
"$68? good, Tom, don't worry about them, follow the plan. "Such a big piece of cake, of course, will attract predators, but it's a pity that they think too simply, there is such an easy turnaround.
"Suzuki, let the legal department start the litigation process, don't care about winning or losing, it's best to drag them down, and if you can restrict their sales, it's okay to pay some price. ”
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away. ”
When it comes to patent disputes, it's easy to bully the small, your software may need to be taken off the shelves, and the company's account will be partially frozen.
Because people apply for asset insurance, it's useless if you're not satisfied, it's so unreasonable.
The only thing Lotus can take advantage of is the anti-monopoly clause, which is very unfortunate and has little chance of success.
If you sue a company that has been established for less than a year, the Ministry of Justice has not been so shameless, and if the other party is a weak chicken, it is not impossible to warn it.
William White?
This is a nightmare for many people.
If you are not afraid of his poisonous tongue, you can try it and be prepared to be humiliated.
Just when Lotus was in a hurry, White Software came out with a new model, although the improvement is not obvious, but it is amazing enough, the most terrible thing is that the price of the old software is directly to 299.
What a speechless price this is, your Lotus software is not as good as the other party, and now it has suffered this kind of blow, and I really don't know what to do.
This kind of means of attacking competitors is definitely murderous and domineering, and if you have no way to solve it in the short term, it is estimated that you will only close down.
The biggest controversy over patents is mainly focused on the file format, which is what makes all opponents speechless.
If you use it, you will infringe, and if you don't use it, you can't print it, unless you don't use Apple's printing adapter card.
Of course, other computers are fine, but this format is not uniform, and the user will never accept it, does he need to install two sets of software, and he also needs to make two copies of the table.
There are no such users in this world, they will definitely vote with their feet, and now it's even better, your price is twice as expensive as others.
Lotus?
It's just a joke.
The trick of using the relationship between upstream and downstream to strangle competitors is not original to William White, everyone is actually doing this, but to different degrees.
William White is also nervous about Lotus, but he really doesn't understand, why was this product born prematurely, shouldn't buddy still have two years of leisure?
Sometimes, it is not a good thing to have a prophetic sense, and he also wants to be blind. In such a lucrative industry, even if there is no lotus, there are still lotus, how can he be allowed to pick up two years of cheapness.
In the current IT ecosystem, everyone's eyes are blood-red, and there is no one who doesn't want to pounce and bite.
The current fierce confrontation does make many people jealous, don't look at the young people in the company, but they are extremely old and spicy in handling things, and they are definitely not easy to bully.
These companies in Silicon Valley usually have venture capital involved, they are all mercenary people, if the risk is too great, they will not invest.
Obviously, the funders of Lotus Software have retreated, and it is too stupid to add further funds to fight, and it is better for someone to co-opt them, and they can also withdraw in time.
For enterprises in this era, this level of suppression is not common, Lotus was indeed blinded, and several others simply capsized.
White Software's ruthless methods naturally caused a backlash from the industry, and the most jubilant one was naturally the old enemy Larry Ellison.
"We welcome competition, provided that you don't plagiarize, we have 100 million US dollars lying on our books, which is to deal with thieves, you even copy the wrong code, and even try to quibble, about some people with ulterior motives, I'm sorry, take care of your own business, I heard that your account has no money. May God bless you all. ”
The anger of White Software is still as sharp as ever, and with the disclosure of documents one by one, plagiarism has become a general consensus.
Plagiarism is not impossible, it is really nothing in this era, the key is that you can't copy, which is really disappointing.
"Damn, there are still blank instructions in here?"
This grandson is really bad, what a bullshit accident, this is really nonsense, this is clearly a pit that has been dug a long time ago.
The Ministry of Justice, which is about to move, has also shrunk, you really don't deserve sympathy, and you can still be found with evidence, and it is useless to win this lawsuit.
Although Lao Mei encourages competition, it will never encourage any plagiarism, if everyone does this, what innovative spirit does the United States have, this is really terrible.
