Chapter 370: IBM

(Ask for subscription)

Tang Dynasty is now a large supermarket, in addition to the main products in all aspects, he also needs some other small software to support. Otherwise, there is only a torso, but nothing else, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the Tang Dynasty company. Moreover, the input method is a necessary software for installation, and the scale of users is much larger than that of instant messaging.

If you don't grasp this kind of software in your own hands, if you change it to another company, I am afraid that it will become a threat again.

Just like the later Sogou Pinyin input method, he installed a backdoor in this software. For example, when using search, it is very likely that a Sogou search engine will pop up, which is secondary. Affected by 360, Sogou Pinyin input method, he also started to automatically uninstall other software products.

In later generations, a 360 dared to compete with Tencent QQ, from which it can be seen that whoever has a user is the boss of the Internet. With software that masters a large number of user groups like this, even if it is not profitable, Chen Jiayi has to catch him in his hands. What's more, the profit he brought indirectly is also a terrifying figure.

"This bell is shocking, I can't imagine that the understanding of the input method is so strong."

Chen Jia nodded secretly, and glanced at Zhong Jingtian again.

"If you have any plans in the future, you can implement them boldly, and you don't have to be afraid of mistakes."

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and now Zhong is shocking, he is a newborn calf. Moreover, this time is also the time when he is most innovative and innovative. Looking at his current vision, he can not only be responsible for an input method software. I'm afraid that even if the entire Tang Dynasty software is given to him, he may be able to manage it.

However, for the time being, it is impossible for Chen Jiayi to give him such a heavy burden. Because, Zhong Jingtian's vision is good, but his management experience is not necessarily good. Now let him stay for a year or two, and slowly operate the "input method". Moreover, Chen Jiayi also has to observe the next Zhong Tiantian in the past two years.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Chen."

Hearing Chen Jiayi's words, how could Zhong Jingtian not know what he meant?

"No, you work hard."

Smiling at Zhong Jingtian, Chen Jiayi left Tang Dynasty Software. Because today, he still wants to go to the United States.

……

United States, Apple.

Last time, Chen Jiayi suggested to Apple that he use Microsoft's operating system, and after a series of arrangements, Apple's operating system showed an explosion in July. Until now, it has shown very strong sales capabilities. In the past month or so, Apple has also been innovating from the original and slowly began to watch the market.

Because they found that Apple's creativity has finally been recognized by the world, which is much more exciting than innovating even greater new products every day. After all, the innovative variety, he is for people to use. If no one uses it, no matter how powerful the innovation is, I am afraid that there will be no sense of accomplishment. Previously, Apple, though dramatically innovated. However, the conservatism of the market strategy has made Apple's products not accepted by the world.

Today, Apple Jobs took the advice of the Tang Dynasty company and secretly integrated it into the Microsoft operating system. As a result, the well-known Apple computer exploded into the potential that he has accumulated for decades throughout the summer vacation.

"Hi, my friend, how are you doing?"

Chen Jiayi greeted Jobs easily, and now he has a very good relationship with Jobs.

"Very good, my friend, thank you for your advice."

Jobs has been proud for more than a month. Although he has been worried about Zhong Zhong in the media for more than a month, Apple is now suffering the worst disaster in more than 20 years. However, after speaking in the media, Jobs returned to the apple, but he always expressed joy from the bottom of his heart. ..., friends who are familiar with Jobs, they may find that in the past month or two, Jobs's smile has gradually increased.

"No, you're welcome."

Chen Jiayi was very friendly, of course, he wouldn't tell Jobs, I was about to hit your Apple idea.

"By the way, Chen, let me introduce you to a friend who is very interested in you."

"Oh, who could it be?"

This time when he came to Apple, Chen Jiayi actually had no purpose, just like life, he came to Apple to visit the door and get closer to some Tang Dynasty companies and Apple. This makes his next plan more convenient to implement.

"Cindy."

Jobs said.

"Cindy?"

Chen Jiayi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Sorry, you may not know each other. However, he has just taken up his post as vice president of IBM. ”

……

Newland Hotel.

Steve Jobs, Chen Jiayi, and a friend from IBM, Cindy, the three have already met.

"I've heard Jobs extract you a long time ago, and I'll see you today. I want to say, God, you created a monster. ”

It's a joke, of course, and, moreover, a flattering joke.

"Haha, yes, but I guess the friends who stay with monsters aren't human either."

For this Cindy, Chen Jiayi has no image. However, he was very interested in IBM. Jobs intended to introduce himself to Cindy, but Chen Jiayi did not postpone it. After all, Tang Dynasty is already a global company, and it is a good thing to know more business partners. What's more, the other party is also the vice president of IBM.

About IBM, I have to introduce it here.

IBM, founded in 1911 in the United States. At the time of its establishment, its main business was commercial printers. With nearly 100 years of development, IBM has become the world's largest information technology and business solutions company. Its main products are CPU, hard disk, personal PC, but also server hosting, various professional software, databases, including operating systems...... It can be said that IBM has a series of products related to computers.

What's more, IBM has great attainments in materials, chemistry, and physics. Hard disk technology was invented by IBM. Not to mention, IBM is also the company with the most patents in the world. From 1993 to 2005, there were 310,000 patents.

In a company like this, he is much better than a Tang Dynasty company. Because, Tang Dynasty Company still only has some achievements in the Internet field. However, where the strength of software and hardware is reflected in all aspects, Tang Dynasty Company is not involved. Of course, this is the shortcoming of the Tang Dynasty company, and Chen Jiayi knows it clearly. So, in recent years, he has been making up for it.

"Hahaha, Chen, your humor is probably not much different from your wisdom."

Jobs and Cindy laughed and admired Chen Jiayi very much.

"Awards, awards."

A few people turned over politely, and at this time, Cindy opened her mouth to get down to business, "I have long heard that Tang Dynasty Company has unique insights into market operation, and this time Apple is selling well, which seems to have a lot to do with Tang Dynasty Company." Yes, Chen ......."

Apple and IBM have always maintained a cooperative relationship, such as CPUs, Apple computers, using IBM's personal CPUs. So, in many ways, both sides have common interests. Moreover, IBM and Apple also want to join forces to compete with Microsoft in software.

Because, although IBM has always been powerful, it is not Microsoft's opponent in business operations. Even Microsoft's technology is very far from IBM. Therefore, IBM and Apple, in this Apple sales event, have seen the market operation smartly.

If you have a good operation plan, it must be very helpful for IBM and Apple.

"Where, just on the sidelines, a random idea?" ..., Chen Jiayi didn't dare to say anything, because he didn't understand what the special significance of this meeting was.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth."

The two of them saw that Chen Jiayi was very careful, and his words were not revealed. Knowing this young man's city, it is much stronger than them. Moreover, they have always admired the philosophy of their own company. Therefore, in many cases, in terms of market operation, his creative ability is much weaker. Even if they want to innovate and their thinking is limited, they are helpless.

"We at IBM have the same problem as Apple, which is that IBM has reached a bottleneck. Although we at IBM technology are always innovating, not only software and hardware technology. But our market share has not changed much. We don't know, as an outsider, Chen, what do you think. ”

Apple and IBM are really very similar.

Both are technological innovation companies, and both have very strong brands. However, these two companies, no matter how innovative they are, the problem of market share has not been improved. This phenomenon has been emphasized many times by the world media. Although, IBM has never admitted this. However, facts are facts, IBM does not want to admit it, and he is also a fact.

Recently, IBM's performance has not only not risen because of the development of the Internet, but has been stagnant, which has greatly annoyed IBM. Unfortunately, IBM has not been able to find a solution in this regard. It wasn't until Apple suddenly sold so much in the past two months that IBM seemed to know that they had always been the best. It's just that they're not good at this aspect of operation.

So, Jobs introduced Chen Jiayi to Cindy.

They hope that the Tang Dynasty Company led by Chen Jiayi can bring some inspiration to IBM.

"Let me think about it."

Hearing the conversation of the vice president of IBM, Chen Jia recalled at first.

IBM has the world's most powerful software technology, and it also has the world's most powerful hardware technology. For example, his CPU, so far, in terms of performance, no one has been able to surpass. Otherwise, the answer to why Apple was able to create the world's first 64-bit PC computer is to use a CPU provided by IBM. It's just a CPU on a PC, and as a professional server, IBM is even more ahead here. Blade servers, for example, are IBM's masterpieces.

However, despite this, IBM's market capitalization, including his sales, did not perform well. Although, the current IBM is much better than Apple. Now, though, Apple has found an excellent way out. Maybe in the next few years, with the current popularity of Apple computers, he will surpass IBM.

Just like the Microsoft of later generations, it surpassed IBM.

Although IBM is excellent, Chen Jiayi knows that IBM has a shortcoming in front of so many advantages. That is, IBM is so miscellaneous that it decentralizes its main business, such as PCs and personal processors. PC computers are not IBM's main business, but he has always used this brand.

In fact, with the excavation of major computer brands around the world, IBM computers no longer have many advantages at all, and the only thing is only a little brand advantage. Moreover, the PC computer business did not bring much profit to IBM. The subsequent personal CPUs, such as the PC computer CPUs provided to Apple, basically did not have much performance for him. Because, Apple computer sales are terrible. Even, now Steve Jobs has planned whether to cooperate with Intel and adopt their CPUs in the next Apple computer.

This large pile of things, although there is not much performance, but it occupies a lot of IBM's energy. Moreover, IBM's senior management also attaches great importance to these things. In this way, so many things are placed in front of IBM managers, which one they want to do, it seems a bit unassuming. Although, they know, the servers are a big advantage for them.

"If Chen Jiayi is put in charge of IBM, Chen Jiayi's strategy is to abandon some useless branches and leaves and strengthen the main business." ..., just like a big tree, too many branches will definitely affect his growth height. Today's IBM has too many branches. However, if this strategy is spoken, what are the benefits for Chen Jiayi and Tang Dynasty Company? Of course, helping Apple for free before, in fact, Chen Jiayi still has to calculate Apple, which is not the same thing.

Chen Jiayi likes IBM and Apple, and he also has a good impression of both companies. But no matter how good it is, these things are American. He won't be fed up, and he has nothing to do to help them occupy the market. Unless, they can come up with enough chips for him. As soon as he thought of enough chips, Chen Jiayi immediately became excited.

His eyes rolled, yes, he remembered that in 2004, IBM sold his PC business to Lenovo.

This incident has a profound impact on Lenovo. After the successful acquisition, Lenovo Computers will be able to use IBM's worldwide distribution network to sell Lenovo computers. This also makes Lenovo PC computer leap to become the world's third largest PC manufacturing giant.

Of course, IBM's sale of the PC business to Lenovo also has a huge benefit. First, he streamlined his previously unprofitable PC business, and second, IBM also received a huge amount of money. Third, he also got a stake in Lenovo 19. Since then, IBM has finally begun to attack its main business with all its strength in terms of operational strategy.

In the years that followed, IBM's performance continued to rise, surpassing Microsoft to become the world's second-largest technology company.

This is an opportunity.

Chen Jiayi was a little moved, so he not only said something that didn't match at all, "I don't know if IBM wants to sell the PC computer business." ”……,
