Chapter 141 The checkers plan is a bit hanging
Apple proudly predicts that the company is expected to reach $300 million in sales this year. As soon as the news came out, the industry was in an uproar.
Both the Blue Giant and the HP immediately became the object of ridicule, and reality taught them a profound lesson.
Ridiculous game consoles?
This is a market of more than one billion dollars a year, which is not a trivial matter, and the most terrifying thing is the potential of this market.
Before that, the most optimistic estimate for Apple was $200 million in sales, but now what do they hear?
Three hundred million.
You are just a new company, how can it be so outrageous, according to this trend, it may be one billion in two years.
Wait, what's going on with that White software?
This product will also break 100 million this year, right?
It's a pity that people are still private companies, and they are not obliged to disclose any information, and you have the ability to check it yourself.
Big Blue's PC plans have been revealed, but now it's a little awkward, they have chosen Intel's 8080 and the software seems to have chosen Microsoft.
The 8080 is certainly good, it's a 16-bit processor, definitely better than Motorola's 6600, and the point is that it's not too far ahead.
There is also a very important question, when will you figure it out?
Apple is only a facelift this time, and by the time your PC project is implemented, the next generation of computers may have appeared.
According to the current situation, between the 6 series and the 6600, there is obviously another 6700.
Motorola is a listed company, even if this chip division is divided, they are still major shareholders, and there is no way to hide these contents.
Now Motorola has some regrets, why didn't they think of playing like this in the first place?
William White simply castrated 60 in various ways and then took it out and sold it for money.
It's as simple as that, and there's nothing tech-savvy.
6700, of course, is headed for 8080, which was the goal from the beginning.
As for Apple's chickens and dogs, William White can't control it, if you don't adjust the plan, maybe Wang An will figure it out first.
Wang An Computer has tasted the sweetness, and naturally will not give up the PC project, and their technical strength is stronger than Apple.
In the face of this strange situation, the blue giant felt extremely painful, is this the rhythm of being hung and beaten as soon as it comes out?
There is no chance to take a stake in White Software again, and since people have judged your actions, there will naturally be no cooperation.
There is also a lot of controversy about the valuation of White Software, and some even say 500 million US dollars.
Don't think it's a joke, this company's gross profit margin is terrible, and there are a lot of adapter cards, these are piles of American knives.
As for R&D costs?
Naturally, it can be passed on to consumers.
The most endearing thing is that they are compatible with almost every system on the market, and as long as you have enough sales, they will produce supporting software.
As we all know, these PC manufacturers have a variety of systems, which makes software companies extremely big, and the office suite of White Software is indeed compatible, as long as you use his software, you can use it on any brand of computer.
This is the reason for the failure of Lotus software, people just don't let you use your own format, as long as you dare to use it, people will sue you.
Other companies also understand that this first-mover advantage is too powerful, but they don't know how to break the game with the blue giant.
In fact, they think too much, White Software will naturally provide software services, and he has no enmity with Meidao, how can he give up such a big customer.
"Boss, they will provide the software, but they need to get our system in advance. ”
"Damn, what do they know?"
"I think yes, Bill Gates' DOS was bought, they developed it on top of others, and in fact, White Software is already working on the next generation. ”
"I admire this kid very much now, how does he coordinate the relationship between these customers?"
"Boss, in my opinion, he's more of an open software vendor, as long as the price is right, he doesn't mind who the buyer is?"
"Let's hope so, or we'll be in big trouble. ”
Now not only is there a problem with the Lisa project, but also with the checkers project of the Blue Giant, and they really can't judge what the level of the 6700 is, in case they are ahead of Intel's 8080, they will be in an awkward position.
In fact, they think a little too much, Apple is too narrow-minded, and has never thought about integrating the market, and other companies are the same, they all play their own games, and they really don't understand, why can't you use one architecture?
The hardware is incompatible, the software is incompatible, which is also a huge waste, not to mention the rest, it takes time to learn these systems.
Wright is much cuter, but with minor differences, almost identical.
Of course, if you don't have too many users, then don't expect it, people won't develop it, and this thing will also cost you.
Police Academy 2 has finally announced the filming plan, and the faces of the actors have not changed much, except that the director has changed, and William White is no longer in the director's position, just a screenwriter and producer.
Whether the audience buys it or not, this still needs to be tested by the market, even if it is not as good as the first part, it is estimated that it will not be too bad.
In fact, sequels are quite difficult to film, and William White's level is also ordinary, and there will be no breakthrough in the short term, I hope the director this time will be more reliable.
The people at White Film know very well that the boss will not make a sequel, including Agent Bean this time, he will not make any sequel, if a film company only relies on him as a boss, then it is better to take refuge in a giant, just start a studio.
Three series with a box office of over 100 million, who dares not to please him?
The current cinema operators regard this as the God of Wealth, no matter what giant you are, as long as the box office hits the street, everyone will be abandoned.
Isn't Warner's Shining the next painting?
Except for the cinema chain in which Warner has shares, there is no way, and the support of other cinema companies for two weeks is polite enough, and they have no enmity with the American knife.
Star Wars is still very good13, and now it has exceeded 1.5 billion, and blockbusters of this level will be played in North America for at least half a year, which means that it is only a matter of time before the box office exceeds 200 million.
Its success is not surprising, it is strange that the magic detective can fight his way out of the encirclement, according to the box office performance in the first two weeks, it is only a matter of time before it breaks 100 million, even if it is not as good as the police academy, it still has a fight with the box office of the ghost.
What makes Hollywood gnash its teeth is that you don't have much space, and the movies are all long.
It's also funny, plus the movies that are still being filmed, White Pictures is a series, which is really hateful, if there is a few more years of development, these series can make people vomit blood.
The series is not William White's brainchild, this is what is popular in this era, and unless the box office takes a big dive, it will always be played.
Hollywood in later generations doesn't play like this, and they are also cheated by the brokerage company, these bastards don't care whether you live or die, they collect money according to your box office.
This is a fight with the milk tea shop in Xiangjiang, no matter how good your business is, it is useless, and the landlord decides the rent according to your profits.
