Bob Galvin is a legend of his time, and his vision is farther than the average person.

IBM is divided into eight departments, with the R&D experimental center as the cornerstone, respectively, like mainframe, computer, software, hardware, mobile phones, home appliances, technical services, office equipment eight directions of development, of which mainframe, computer, technical services, software these four departments are IBM's strengths, hardware is slightly weaker, but as long as IBM wants to develop, as long as he is willing to invest money, with his huge R & D capabilities, he can definitely wrestle with Intel, as for mobile phones, home appliances, These three departments of office equipment are new departments of IBM, and if they want to develop, it depends on how much IBM is willing to invest.

However, Bob Galvin knows that IBM has invested tens of billions of dollars in research and development for these three departments, and has also spent tens of billions of dollars to build direct-operated stores, which is too rich to say, which also shows IBM's determination to develop these businesses.

Once these businesses develop, IBM's profitability will increase exponentially, and its ability to resist risks will also be multiplied, and a giant will rise from the ground at that time.

To put it simply and crudely, if these departments develop, the software department can compete with Microsoft, the hardware department can compete with Intel, the mobile phone department can compete with Motorola, the home appliance department can compete with Whirlpool, and the office equipment can compete with Xerox, then IBM will be terrifying, if a company's branches are all composed of Intel, Motorola, Xerox, Microsoft, Whirlpool... What kind of company does this company have to be? With a turnover of hundreds of billions and a market value of tens of thousands of dollars a year, that is absolute.

But it is not an easy task to reach such heights.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the invitees arrived at the venue one after another, and the press conference officially began.

John Ecks is the president of the IBM Group, and he naturally presided over the press conference.

At the end of a piece of passionate music, John Eks walked to the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends and fans, good morning! Thank you for coming to the Art Center in New York for the IBM Spring Launch, thank you!"

When John Eks finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

After the applause stopped, he continued.

"Since its founding in 1911, IBM has been on a mission to help our customers succeed, and over the past 100 years, we have fulfilled our promise to lead the industrial revolution and provide the best possible service to our customers.

Today, as the new century is approaching, IBM, an enterprise of nearly 100 years, will also shoulder a new mission and start anew. Use technology to change the world and people's lives.

And IBM's first step in changing the world will start here......!"

John Ekes said as he pressed the controller in his hand, and the screen behind him changed from IBM's name to a big three-letter OSX.

Just when everyone couldn't understand what these three letters meant, John Ackes explained.

"After two years and the efforts of thousands of engineers, IBM finally developed the personal computer operating system, and from today on, the computers in this world are not just the same face. ”

"Oh ......!!"

As soon as John Ekes's words fell, the entire venue erupted in warm applause and cheers, especially the thousands of black fans sitting in the back, who burst into tears at this moment.

IBM has an operating system, but it is only for the mainframe with a high force level, as for the personal computer, it has not been, and now IBM has begun to develop its own personal computer operating system, which is too happy for black fans.

But there was one unhappy person in the room, Bill Gates. He didn't expect IBM to burn the first fire on himself.

As the president of Microsoft, the last thing Bill Gates wants is to see IBM bend down to develop a personal computer operating system, IBM is the world's second largest software company, and now it is working on an operating system, so Microsoft's future life will not be easy.

However, John Ecks didn't care whether Microsoft was happy or not, and after the applause and cheers in the audience stopped, he looked at the audience with a smile: "What kind of system is the OSX system? ”

As soon as John Ekes's words fell, the audience burst into applause, even Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, who were sitting in the front row...... The others also clapped their hands vigorously.

Dennis Richie is the king of this era, and these people who are called bigwigs have opened up their own world by standing on the shoulders of this king, so they respect Dennis Richie from the bottom of their hearts.

"Hello everyone, thank you!"

Dennis Ritchie walked to the podium, he was dressed casually, a sky blue shirt, black jeans, but standing on the stage, he was the one who was in the limelight.

"I'm going to tell you about this operating system. Dennis Ritchie smiled and began to introduce.

"OSX is an operating system with four main advantages: simplicity, simplicity, smoothness, and security.

The OSX operating system is a comprehensive "object-oriented operating system" based on the FreeBSD system, and its pages are very simple and ....... Dennis Ritchie said as he pressed the controller in his hand, and the OSX system page appeared on the large screen on the back.

"And it's simpler to operate,Use it without having to think hard,Users can get a better experience,As for security, because it's a face object operating system,So you don't have to worry about downloading software in the future will be inexplicably installed some small software,Resulting in viruses in the computer,And in terms of performance, it will be smoother than previous products,More energy-saving,The same laptop we have experimented,Use OSX system to save 20% of power ...... than useless。 ”

Dennis Ritchie introduced in great detail, and everyone in the audience listened very carefully, especially Bill Gates.

After introducing the operating system, Dennis Ritchie stepped off the stage, and John Eks walked back up.

"The OSX operating system will be used in IBM's new generation of personal computers, so everyone who buys an IBM computer in the future will have the opportunity to use this operating system. ”

After John Eks finished speaking, the audience once again burst into applause, Bill Gates secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the OSX system is very good, if it is launched on the market, there will definitely be a good response, but this will also affect Microsoft's system, and now the OSX system is only used in IBM's own products, so the impact is much smaller.

After the applause stopped, John Eks began to introduce the next product: "The first step of IBM to change the world is to make the world's computers not have the same face, and the second step is to make the world's computers have a high-quality "heart". ”

John Ex pressed the controller in his hand as he spoke, and a processor, the X 1, appeared on the large screen behind him
