Chapter 223 Rebirth and Death Dave, the president of IBM, the man who has been sitting in this position for five years.

The best technology is not the most business in IBM, and it is not the most harmonious interpersonal relationship.

But when IBM chose its president, he sat in that position.

The reason is simple, he is a pure businessman.

Businessman, there is only one principle, and that is to go where there is profit!

"President Dave, isn't it normal for IBM to have an opinion about the coalition against IBM?"

Simon Clay took the lead, and a chuckle rang out in the room.

"No, I mean, I have a problem with this coalition! You know? IBM is not against an 'anti-IBM' coalition. However, in this alliance, there should be the voice of IBM. ”

Dave found a random spot and sat down, but everyone present seemed to be petrified.

What's going on?

How can the Allies meet to eliminate Hitler, should they also invite Hitler to attend and express his opinions?

"President Dave, are you kidding?"

Simon Clay looked at him suspiciously.

"Mr. Clay has been in contact with IBM for a long time, and should know that IBM is generally not joking. ”

Dave cleared his throat and said, "There is a Chinese proverb called 'If you don't fight, you don't know each other.'" I think from this point of view, IBM and Mr. Simon Clay should have been old friends for a long time. ”

"IBM has contributed to the U.S. electronics industry, the Manhattan Project includes IBM's perforated computers, the North American Air Defense Network uses IBM's intelligent computers, the world's first transistor computer, and the servers of the Apollo program. I'm just stating the fact that in the computer industry in the United States, nothing can be done without IBM's involvement. It's as if the United Nations can't leave the United States either. ”

"I'm not quite right. ”

Simon Clay and IBM really have a deep hatred like the sea, but of course, there are many people here who have a deep hatred like the sea, and DEC's Olson is also hateful and cannot be extinguished by the waters of the four oceans.

"Yes. I'm not very suitable for comparing with the United States, but if it was the Soviet Union, it would be about the same. ”

"Huh. ”

Dave wasn't angry, and even nodded: "Mr. Olsen said so, and I don't have any opinion." There is nothing wrong with being a Soviet Union that shed blood and made meritorious contributions to the United States. ”

"But even the Soviet Union is also unavoidable from any UN thing. ”

"Even if the United Nations meets to discuss the declaration of war against the Soviet Union, don't the representatives of the Soviet Union have the right to veto it?"

"Alright, Mr. Dave. ”

Simon Clay interrupted him.

He said politely: "If you are here to visit us to nail the last nail in the coffin of IBM, please do it." ”

"Well. I think IBM would have a different understanding. ”

Dave put down a document from his hand and put it on the conference table: "Actually, I prefer to understand that IBM is the last and strongest cornerstone for the alliance. With this cornerstone, the 'Against IBM Alliance' can truly fulfill its mission. ”

"Mr. Dave, are you crazy?"

“ell……”

Dave was stunned for a moment, he showed a reminiscing expression, sighed and said with a smile: "When I first learned about this plan, I thought I was crazy. ”

"But it turns out. Genius minds are sometimes crazy, but they can't help but want to try. ”

He clicked on the text on the table, opened the cover and revealed the title inside: "I want to inform you of one thing, IBM used 1 of the company to buy 50 copies of Cisco from Mr. Hu Wenhai. ”

"What?"

"Hu, is this true?"

Wen Hai, who was stunned by everyone present, couldn't believe that what he heard was true.

Pioneers of the rebellion against IBM.

He is the proposer of the server-to-client system and the inventor of the drawer server.

It can be said that today's opposition to the IBM alliance is absolutely inseparable from Hu Wenhai's vigorous promotion.

Such a person, why did he suddenly sell his Cisco shares, this is tantamount to a stab in the back of the anti-IBM alliance!

There were disbelieving stares in the crowd, and there were shocked stares.

There are angry eyes, and there are contemptuous eyes...... Everyone is waiting for Hu Wenhai to give them a reasonable explanation.

"Yes, I have transferred 50 shares in my hand to IBM. ”

The most shocked was Leonard, who couldn't believe Wen Hai and asked, "HY?"

Hu Wenhai shrugged.

Everyone in the calm seat said innocently: "Everyone, this is IBM1, and I have no way to refuse such an unreasonable request." ”

…… Nima's "unreasonable demands"

Yes!

This should be IBM's line!

What's the matter with your own use!

Such "unreasonable demands"

Please, let us meet it too!

At this moment, I really don't know how many people have run through 10,000 "grass and mud horses" in their hearts

。

But apart from Leonard, this explanation is "fucking enough"

, but it is indeed a convincing enough explanation.

Ask yourself, if they change to Hu Wenhai's position, and there is really 1M of shares in front of them, can they refuse?

Simon Clay asked himself if he could say no, Olson needed to think about it, and Bill Huutley would not hesitate to agree.

As for the rest of the people here, the discipline in this matter will definitely not be much higher than Hu Wenhai.

That's IBM's 1, and even if you have the money, you can't buy that many shares in the market.

Just like the Microsoft stock in later generations, the number of shares actually in circulation in the market is so small that those who can buy it will be happy to make long-term investments.

IBM although the assets "also"

More than $30 billion, but its 1 is definitely greater than $300 million.

But even if he intellectually agrees with Hu Wenhai's choice, it does not mean that emotionally, everyone can accept such a betrayal.

You must know that the loudest person who has been shouting against IBM's hegemony is Hu Wenhai.

You led the way and ran away, and by the way, you changed your 50 shares to IBM1 shares, didn't this pit the entire alliance?

IBM has 50 copies of Cisco, and although it can't just be the master of Cisco, it can at least veto any decision made by Cisco.

Without Cisco's router technology, how would communication between different systems be possible?

What else does a server-to-client system play?

This directly destroyed the foundation of the alliance!

"So you betrayed all of us? Wasted so many people's energy and feelings, and in the end you buried the alliance with your own hands?"

"Hehe, Mr. Hu, do you think we are very easy to deceive, and there is nothing we can do about you?"

All of you here today are people who can call the shots of various companies, and most of them are either founders or CEOs.

The crowd was furious.

It can really make people's scalp tingle and the soles of their feet tremble.

However, Hu Wenhai's face did not even change.

even smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he resisted such pressure.

"What do you mean by that?"

Hu Wenhai innocently spread his hands.

"What's the point of selling Cisco shares to IBM, what we're talking about now? There will be no more alliances, and there will certainly be no unified PC standards. ”

"yes, we put so much effort into it, and in the end, we just managed to get you a copy of IBM1. Well, that's a good means. ”

Clearly, the crowd was already out of wrath.

In the face of the anger of the entire computer industry, unless Hu Wenhai no longer intends to mix in the electronics industry.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to move forward in China, and even in the world's electronics field.

"Everyone, everyone!"

Suddenly, Dave clapped his hands vigorously, he stood up and looked down at everyone: "You are all successful businessmen, I have a message for you! Mr. Olson said that IBM can be compared to the Soviet Union. Then I'll quote a sentence. Let's let go of prejudice and hatred, so that all we lose is the chains, and what we gain is the whole world!"

"I said from the beginning that IBM is only here to make its voice heard!

"IBM, I hope to let go of the past conflicts with you. Together, be part of this alliance. ”

…… Everyone here is stupid for the same husband.

This is IBM, the blue giant IBM.

No one expected that in their lifetime, BM would be soft for a day.

To put it bluntly, Dave is a qualified businessman.

He, although this alliance is still under the banner of opposing IBM.

But what it does is the work of industry alliances.

Once this alliance is in fact formed and operational, it will be a monopoly that is even more terrifying than IBM.

So when Hu Wenhai proposed to ask IBM to join the alliance, although he was shocked at first, after careful and calm consideration, Dave finally chose such a dumbfounded path.

IBM's participation will be the last and most important piece of the puzzle for the alliance to complete the hegemony of the entire computer territory.

Only after IBM joins in, Americans will no longer have to "vote with their feet" in the choice of computers

of power.

It's like Americans can only choose the main party or the Republican Party in politics, or Chinese netizens can choose Unicom or China Telecom to access the Internet, but who can choose whether the switch that provides you with service ports is Cisco, Huawei, or ZTE?

Next, it's time for big companies to share the cake and deal with ordinary consumers together.

The computer industry in the United States has reborn as a terrifying monster at this moment.

The computer industry in the United States has also declared its own death at this moment.

Hu Wenhai smiled with satisfaction.

Chapter 224 Three Views Refresh the Statue of Liberty, a famous landmark in the United States, and an indispensable attraction for New York tourism.

In August, Hu Wenhai, who had temporarily dealt with the matter at hand, finally had a little time.

Lu Xin, who has been following the axis for more than two months, shouted that Hu Wenhai abused child labor, and finally blackmailed a chance to travel.

And the first stop of the relaxing holiday, Lu Xin chose the Statue of Liberty without giving up.

And it turns out that even without a mobile phone with a camera, it can't stop a woman's enthusiasm for selfies - it turns out that selfies are indeed a rigid need of human nature.

"Your big face is going forward, hurry up, help me get the camera!"

Lu Xin stretched out his hand to push Hu Wenhai's "big face"

, and he shrank back.

Hu Wenhai couldn't help but laugh and held the polaroid camera of Polaroid, in "Eggplant"

I pressed the shutter to take a picture.

With a click, a Polaroid photo is spit out by the camera.

The image is not immediately displayed.

"Hey, life is so good in Americans. ”

Lu Xin propped his head and elbows on the railing of the Statue of Liberty and looked into the distance.

Looking out from the nearly 100-meter-tall head of the Statue of Liberty, you can see the entire Hudson estuary of Liberty Island.

Lu Xin screamed and jumped excitedly, but Hu Wenhai didn't react.

After all, he didn't know that there was anything higher than this, and there was a grander view than here.

In terms of the Statue of Liberty's purely tourist significance, there really isn't much interest.

"You're a man. Why did I finally come out to travel, but I didn't see any difference between you and usual. ”

Lu Xin sulked a little.

He was a little curious: "Hey, Hu Wenhai, are you really only nineteen years old? Everything is in your calculations, and nothing surprises you. ”

"Ah, you know. ”

Hu Wenhai shrugged his shoulders, after being in the United States for a long time, his body language was also a little affected.

"I think the scenery of Mount Tai, Huashan and Changbai Mountain is more interesting than this artificial environment. More meaningful. ”

"You're so boring!"

Lu Xin snorted twice and wrinkled his nose.

It was rare to be quiet for less than ten minutes, and Lu Xin couldn't help but provoke the topic: "Hu Wenhai, when do you say that we Chinese can live the life of Americans?"

"If there is a day......

Hu Wenhai thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Unless there is only one developed country left on the planet, China, it is estimated that we are." However, if Chinese, who are equivalent to the population of the United States, can live the life of ordinary Americans. I think thirty years should be enough. ”

"Thirty years, that's a long time. ”

"There's me. ”

Hu Wenhai patted his chest: "I work hard, and I can't shorten the time to twenty-five years." ”

"Haha, then you don't have much power!"

Lu Xinzhen looked like Hu Wenhai was going to boast that he would catch up with the United States in a year.

"Hey, I'm alone. That's all you can do. ”

Hu Wenhai had no choice but to spread his hands.

"Hey, you're boring. ”

Lu Xin shook his head, his expression was simply pitiful Hu Wenhai is "lonely life"

Finish.

Speaking of which, Mr. Hu is indeed not a player like Chen Ke who can shoot girls, nor is he a genius like Yang Rui who can eat with his face.

But on the other hand, it is also related to the impression left on him by his sister-in-law.

Judging from his future understanding of Lu Xin, this sister-in-law seems to have a bit of a twisted personality.

And the three views of the two are still a little incompatible.

The most important thing is that Hu Wenhai is really waiting for his wife to grow up, and now he is investing in his relatives in advance, and he is too "energetic"

Now, isn't it going to be your sister-in-law?

Well, although Lu Xin can really make Hu Wenhai misunderstand sometimes, it seems that Lu Jia is standing in front of him twenty years later.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the Leonards?"

Lu Xin seemed to think of something, and his expression became dull: "Everyone in the PC Alliance is happy, but it seems that only Mr. Leonard is too pitiful." ”

Hu Wenhai was slightly stunned, thought for a while and said: "IBM invested 10 million US dollars to acquire his shares in Cisco, and the Leonards have returned to Stanford to continue teaching." ”

"Hmph—"

Lu Xin pursed his lips and snorted: "All of you are winners, only Leonard and his wife have suffered, are you satisfied with the big capitalists?"

"That's the rules of the game!"

Hu Wenhai smiled lightly: "Now you know what is hidden behind the superior life of Americans, right?"

"The mall is disgusting. ”

Lu Xin weakly let out a disdainful look at Hu Wenhai: "I have decided, I will be a scientist in the future!

"Huh?"

Hu Wenhai was not only not angry, but was a little happy.

It is said that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, but I didn't expect that he not only completely changed the direction of the development of the American computer industry, but also refreshed Lu Xin's three views.

Considering that from the next few encounters, Lehin Ke was a standard five-cent and privatization panacea - of course, she was already an executive at a certain company at the time, and it was not surprising that her ass was sitting on the privatization side.

Inexplicably, finding that Lu Xin had such a change, Hu Wenhai was even happier than cheating the Americans.

"Hey, Hu Wenhai!"

Lu Xinwen looked so angry that she hit him angrily.

Hu Wenhai touched his nose and had no choice but to continue laughing.

All right.

Our Mr. Hu probably has all his talent on the plaid shirt, and he really doesn't have the skills to pick up girls, so he really catches chickens...... Seeing that his attack was ineffective against Hu Wenhai, Lu Xin angrily hit him and twisted him for a while.

In the end, she was probably tired, so she simply tilted her head and stretched out her hand, and just took his hand and leaned on his shoulder.

Fortunately, this is the United States, and it has been changed to the streets of China.

Lu Xin would never dare to do this.

But even so, from Hu Wenhai's point of view.

Her face didn't know if it was tired from the beating, or if it was ...... In short, Lu Xin felt that his face was hot.

Blame New York for the damn weather in August!

Well, that's it!

...... "Is the target confirmed?"

Around the base of the Statue of Liberty, two tall male tourists quietly came together.

Holding a "sightseeing telescope" in his hand

The "tourist"

Nodding, he said in an affirmative tone: "That's right, it's this Chinese." ”

"Where's the security forces around him?"

"The Statue of Liberty's head observation deck is limited to the number of people entering, and his people are blocked. ”

"Number three, it's a rare opportunity. ”

"Good. Notify the field team, action!"

At the entrance to the Statue of Liberty's Head Observation Deck, a sightseer leaning on the railing and looking down withdrew his gaze and nodded to the people next to him.

A young white man dressed as a couple walked forward sweetly, holding hands.

They occasionally exchanged heads or had sweet fights, which was no different from the many tourists and couples around.

However, when they came to a pair of yellow-skinned and black-eyed "orientals"

When the couple is around.

As if suddenly interested, the white woman took a camera out of her backpack and glanced left and right - "Sir, could you please take a picture for us?"

The white woman's eyes lit up, and she politely stuffed a camera into Hu Wenhai's hand.

Hu Wenhai pointed to himself, and then to the camera.

I really want to say: Miss, how did you choose a "girl" who is being with you?

Tired Oriental...... However, Lu Xin is obviously very interested in this kind of thing, a ten-year-old girl, it is most difficult to resist this kind of romantic helping others.

"I'll come, I'll take pictures for you!"

Lu Xin reported himself bravely.

And yet -- the white woman didn't seem to understand her "English"

As if he still insisted on stuffing the camera into Hu Wenhai's hand, and he and his boyfriend had already posed for a photo.

"What, is it possible that Hu Wenhai, a profiteer, is more reliable than me? Could it be someone else's girl?"

Lu Xin was a little sullen about being disgusted.

Hu Wenhai pinched the camera with a solemn face, pulled the corners of his mouth, and finally showed a smile: "You should practice your oral language well, maybe people won't understand your chglish." ”

I always feel that there is a problem, Hu Wenhai's eyes can't help but start searching where his bodyguard is, why are the couples suspicious?

There are so many authentic Americans around who don't look for it, but they just find themselves who leaned on their shoulders against Lu Xin, obviously unwilling to be disturbed, and this alone can no longer be used as "no eyesight price"

It can be explained.

If it weren't for the fear that the other party would suddenly attack, Hu Wenhai would even want to call someone immediately.

But his bodyguard was still waiting at the entrance of the observation deck, and even if he broke in, the time was enough for the other party to do something.

This camera will not suddenly spew out any "drug" for a while

Come on.

Well, I hope that in this world, as the Liaoning bus mother-in-law said, there is no such thing.

"Laughs. ”

Click-Polaroid camera spits out a photo, Hu Wenhai shook his head, as if he was still very sober, could it be that he was thinking too much?

The white couple happily thanked Hu Wenhai for taking back the camera, then pulled out the photo and waited for a moment until the image on it appeared.

"Ah, what a beautiful shot!"

The woman exclaimed excitedly, shook her head and said, "Sir, thank you for taking such beautiful pictures for us." Hmm-"

The girl rummaged through her backpack for a while, and finally pulled out a card: "This is a postcard from our hometown, a little heart, thank you for taking such a beautiful picture for us!"

The woman couldn't help but say, stuffed a postcard into Hu Wenhai's hand, then waved her hand, and left with her boyfriend satisfied.

"Wow, the foreigner's su zhì is really high, take a photo and give you a gift. ”

Lu Xin waved goodbye to the white couple with some envy.

Hu Wenhai's eyes were on the postcard, and suddenly his face couldn't help but change color!
