Chapter 429: Twilight of the Blue Giant

Directly into the VIP lounge, Yu Wenfei let out a sigh of relief and took off his mask.

Now that there is still some time before the plane takes off, the three of them go to the VIP lounge to rest first.

The air ticket was booked by Zhou Mengyi for the company's administration, of course, only first-class cabins were purchased, and it was impossible to squeeze economy class.

In terms of quality of life, Zhou Mengyi is very particular, and now she, if she is not a person who knows the roots, she will never be able to see that she was born in the countryside and once opened a barber shop in the town......

Now that the weather is relatively cold, Zhou Mengyi is wearing a fluffy mink short coat, the dark fluff is very shiny, and it looks very soft and warm.

A pair of light blue and white slim-fit jeans with a pair of long-leg flat-heeled riding boots underneath.

The advantage of long legs is unmistakable!

Coincidentally, Yu Wenfei was wearing a similar style to hers, and it was also a black short mink coat.

In fact, what Yu Wenfei wore was exactly what Zhou Mengyi bought for him......

When I was in the magic capital, I usually couldn't wear this, whether it was Yu Wenfei or Zhou Mengyi, they stayed in the company for a long time.

The company is all constant temperature central air conditioning, normally wearing a long-sleeved single coat will not be cold, naturally do not need to wear mink.

But it's not like I'm going back for the New Year, it's very cold in my hometown, and besides, there's no heating in my hometown......

The Central Plains is located in the middle, and the geographical location is a bit awkward, neither south nor north.

It's cold in the winter, and it's hot in the summer.

But I don't know why there is no heating in the Central Plains, and it seems that the central heating has been provided for many years, including the provincial capital.

As for the prefectures below, none of them are heated, and sitting in the room in winter can be shivering with thick clothes.

So before Zhou Mengyi went back, she deliberately flew to Xiangjiang to buy a few thick clothes, and she didn't forget to buy them for Yu Wenfei.

She is now the general manager of Knorr Company, and her salary is quite high, Yu Wenfei did not treat her badly, there are many elites in Knorr Company, and the salary level is high, with an annual salary of one million.

That week, Mengyi, the general manager, of course, had the highest salary.

In fact, she also has a 5% stake in the parent company of Knorr Xiangjiang.

Yu Wenfei's salary for her is an annual salary of 1.8 million!

In addition, in the past six months, Knorr has opened stores by leaps and bounds, and the performance of the stores opened is very bright, and Zhou Mengyi directly took a dividend of two million at the end of the year.

Looking at the balance of her bank card, Zhou Mengyi felt that her choice three years ago was too correct!

In this life, it is really a decision that can change your destiny by making a choice.

makes more money, and Zhou Mengyi spends it without mercy.

As for the mink coat on her and Yu Wenfei, one piece is more than 30,000 yuan, and the unit is US dollars!

This is still bought directly from Xiangjiang, and if you buy it in the mainland, the price will be almost half more.

American Legend Mecarbo!

This is the best mink in the world, and this company is also the most famous brand for making mink coats.

Countless superstars have endorsed it, like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, etc.

The advertising slogan "who is the most legendary" has really been circulated for decades.

............

Expensive clothes are really comfortable to wear, and Yu Wenfei likes this soft and warm feeling very much.

The three of them found a quiet place and sat down to rest.

Yu Wenfei casually took a copy of "Popular Software" from the magazine shelf next to him.

Although the name of the magazine is software, it is actually a popular magazine about computer hardware and software, digital products and video games, and it is also one of the most influential computer magazines in China. It was officially released in 1995 with an initial circulation of 100,000 copies, and by May 1998 the circulation had reached 300,000 copies, with a maximum circulation of 380,000 copies and a maximum monthly circulation of more than 700,000 copies.

Around 2003, when the magazine was at its peak, the domestic Internet was developing rapidly, and the software and hardware industry was naturally rising.

Ordinary people are also more thirsty for relevant knowledge, so this more comprehensive introduction to computer-related magazines is very popular.

After flipping through it, there was an article that attracted Yu Wenfei's attention.

"Twilight of the Blue Giant"

"IBM is rumored to be looking to sell its personal PC business in its entirety, but in the United States, several major PC makers have said they are not willing to take over. The personal PC industry is becoming increasingly competitive, profits are declining, and industry giants have been overwhelmed by the pressure and are looking for new profit growth points......"

IBM is a well-deserved giant in the field of computers, and when it comes to computers, it is impossible not to talk about IBM!

At the same time, the history of computers is the history of IBM!

IBM was and is the world's largest computer hardware and computer software company, and its history does include the entire first half of computer history, and is the epitome and embodiment of the development of the modern computer industry. The first three generations of the four generations of computers divided by electronic devices all unmistakably used IBM computers as "intergenerational" product symbols.

According to Time Magazine, "IBM's entrepreneurial spirit is unmatched in human history...... No other company has had and will have such a tremendous impact on the world's industries and the way of life as IBM. Even Bill Gates had to admit: "IBM is the real hegemon of the computer industry, after all, it has single-handedly cultivated me." ”

Starting as a small enterprise with only 1,300 employees and $4 million in debt at the beginning of this century, IBM has repeatedly dominated and repeatedly "encountered difficulties"; its success depends on daring to innovate at critical moments, and its mistakes have often given the computer industry the most profound reflection.

Indeed, anyone who knows IBM knows that this company is accompanied not only by an aura of success, but also by major mistakes caused by various arrogance.

If it weren't for IBM's arrogance, there would be no Microsoft and Apple......

However, by 2003, Microsoft was the most valuable company by market capitalization, and Bill Gates became the richest man in the world.

Apple is still lurking, and in a few years it will begin to soar to the top of no one's radar.

As for IBM, it's getting to the point of starting to cut down the personal PC business unit.

What's worse is that you can't sell it if you want to, because no one buys it!

IN FACT, IBM'S COMPUTERS AND DESKTOPS MAY BE RARELY TOUCHED, BUT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HEARD OF ITS NOTEBOOK BRAND THINKPAD.

"Little Black" and "Little Red Dot", these two words are estimated to be at the age of the point and people understand what they mean.

IBM'S THINKPAD IS SYNONYMOUS WITH HIGH-END IN LAPTOPS!

The appearance is square and square, all black, and it doesn't look amazing, so domestic users have given it the nickname "Little Black".

However, this computer is so easy to use!

The performance was extremely stable, in an era when computers often crashed and everyone who played with computers was a "computer repairman".

THINKPAD CAN DO IT, EVEN IF YOU TURN ON THE COMPUTER FOR A FEW MONTHS AND A YEAR, THE COMPUTER WILL NOT FREEZE.
