Chapter 170: The Arrogance of the Blue Giant

"What, what's going on? "IBN is dying, and the blue giant will soon fall with a bang. "What do the people in the public relations department eat, and there will be this kind of front-page news in the Times. ”

Rubez, the helmsman of IBN, slapped the desk in the office, and the heads of the public relations department were also dumbfounded, they all noticed that on the front page of one of the popular newspapers, the Times, there was a news of the blue giant, but it was different from the past, this time the blue giant was actually dying by the Hei family.

The first moment they saw the news, they couldn't believe it, if it was a tabloid newspaper, it would be okay, but this is the Times, one of the most famous newspapers, the audience covers almost all IBN's customer base, let them see the negative news of IBN, how negative it has a negative effect on IBN's corporate image, they dare not imagine.

The reporters of the Times have also received a lot of gifts from IBN, especially the editors-in-chief and deputy editors-in-chief, as well as the news director, how can they be so irresponsible, is it that other companies give more public relations expenses than IBN, but even so, they should not offend IBN, every year IBN invests more in advertising than several other companies combined.

"As soon as I saw the news, I had already contacted the editor-in-chief of the Times, but the other party did not answer the phone, and his secretary said that the editor-in-chief was visiting the latest version of the typesetting system."

The head of the public relations department gently defended himself, he had already done his job afterwards, and was just about to go out to The Times to see what the problem was. was called by the Rubes in front of him.

"The new typesetting system, didn't they just buy the German LS210, did they come out with a new typesetting system? But what does it have to do with the front page of our IBN. Now, immediately, immediately, you go and find out to me, why did the Times report that? ”

Rubitz pointed his finger at the newspaper on the table,

"We just didn't work with a Chinese company, how can we be defined as two children, HPH and compoq. They want to cooperate with our soft and micro enterprises, but unfortunately their competitiveness is too weak, so they choose to cooperate with this Chinese company. Any discerning reporter will see the gap, could it be that the quality of the Times reporter has been so low? Other than that. Let Charride figure it out for me. Why is it that IBN's performance in this exhibition has not made any achievements except for government departments and those big conglomerates, what is he doing? ”

"Yes, we'll investigate right away."

When a group of men left the office, Rubiz picked up the Times on the desk again, and looked seriously, just now. Angry at the subject, he only glanced at it. I saw the praise of HPH and COMPOQ in it, and mentioned a Chinese company that designs operating systems, but can these little ants shake the status of IBN dinosaurs?

"Rough graphics operating system, hehe, IBN's own graphics operating system is applied to high-end machines, without tens of thousands of dollars of consumption, will not be provided to customers at all, this Chinese company wants to implement a graphics operating system on personal computers, on the low configuration of personal computers, a few megabytes of memory, what kind of graphics operating system can be used, ten times ten pixels, look at the eyes for a long time will not be spent.

Financial software, which we have long had on our small computer, is also a high-precision financial statistics software, only need to enter numbers, and the results will be calculated automatically.

Word processing software, hum, people who don't know the times, look at this thing, I don't believe it, a word processing software produced by a Chinese company, can top the text machine of West Germany, this thing even we Americans have not come out, the Chinese themselves, now I am afraid they are still using cold drain, that backward and poor country, their food and clothing seem to have not been imported from us, can only use all minerals and what stones and porcelain in exchange. ”

Looking at the newspaper reports, those shining points were eliminated by Rubez one by one, and China has already been psychologically positioned, and it is not a report that has a negative impact on IBN that can be changed.

"What predicts that HPH, COMPOQ, and BIN will be divided into three personal machines next year, so what should Apple do, oh, Apple is listed separately and called an all-in-one machine, HPH, COMPOQ, and BIN are called compatible machines, this word is still more appropriate, IBN is to be compatible with all devices, so that anyone who comes into contact with a computer will think of IBN for the first time."

The cordless phone on the desk rang, Rubitz threw the newspaper aside, and when he pressed the green button, he suddenly remembered that the cordless phone produced by Maine Electronics seemed to have been invented by a Chinese company, and it should not be the same Chinese company.

"Huh? You are doing the right thing, when the customer's will is not obvious, you can't temporarily replace the operating system, especially the operating system whose stability has not been verified by us, the IBN brand can not be tarnished by any unstable factors, and we must let the customer always remember the IBN brand at the first time. ”

Hearing Charried's report call, Rubiz nodded, and then put his body back on the boss's chair, Charlid said very clearly, he spent a whole day at the exhibition site, carefully observing the products of the Chinese company and their cooperation with HPH and Compoq.

In the end, it was concluded that the Chinese company's products were not mature, and the use of graphical interfaces to occupy personal computer resources could cause system crashes, which would cause immeasurable losses to customers' data, and he was not willing to contact the Chinese company at will.

And HPH and Compoq are just two drowning people, grasping at a straw floating in front of them.

After listening to Charride's analysis, Rubitz felt that it was so consistent with his own ideas, so he simply put aside the Times matter, and instead remembered the application prospect of the graphics operating system on personal computers, from the feedback of high-end users such as minicomputers, The graphical interface must look much more comfortable than the original DOS1.0 system that flashes the cursor, but the configuration of the minicomputer and the configuration of the personal machine are not at the same level at all, and the graphical interface needs to consume a lot of system resources.

However, the hardware is upgraded, the cost will increase greatly, and these personal computer users have not purchased small computers because of the price, isn't this back to the original road?

You should have a good talk with the kid on the lid.,This kind of software thing.,It's better to leave it to the professionals.。

Rubiz thought about making a phone call, which was an internal phone number of IBN Company, and instructed the secretary to show today's Times to Ms. Mary of the Board of Directors, and asked Mr. Gai Zi of Soft Micro Company to find a way to solve the problem of resource occupation of this graphical operating system.

When Rubiz put down the phone, Charlied, who was at the Paris Exhibition Center, let out a long breath, he didn't expect that the Chinese company that refused to cooperate yesterday would have such a lot of energy, and actually let the company's number one boss call and specifically ask about the operating system.

You know, IBN has more than 100,000 employees, accounting for more than 70% of the world's mainframe computers, medium-sized computers, and small computers.

Even if the Paris exhibition is messed up, the impact on all IBN's business will not even exceed one percentage point, such a trivial matter, the number one boss should not care.

Fortunately, I am smart and witty, and I used my worries about the graphics operating system to give this matter to the car, but I talked about the experience of these years in the minicomputer, when the graphics operating system was developed on the minicomputer, someone raised the problem of resource occupation, and I just brought up the old thing, hoping that Rubitz did not find the cat in it.

However, these Chinese get together with HPH and COMPOQ people, and they really have so much energy, it seems that they can't continue to relax in the VIP customer room, and they want to go to the scene to see these Chinese tricks.

Coming out of the VIP room, Charried looked at the crowd at his feet and showed a look of disgust, how long had it been since he had been a sales director to walk around in this kind of crowd, I am afraid to recall many years ago when he was a toothpaste salesman.

Fortunately, these people who came to see the exhibition were well-dressed, unlike toothpaste consumers, who had a strong seafood flavor or obvious coal slag.

Showing his white teeth to the blondes who occasionally pass by, this is a good habit left by Charried when he sold toothpaste, and with this smile, his grades have always been at the forefront of his peers, and it is also one of the reasons why he can sit in his current position.

Seeing the booths of HPH and COMPOQ from afar, Charried's smile began to converge a little,

"The business of these two little ants is doing well, but it can't exceed IBN's 2,000 units."

Yesterday's on-site sales record of IBN was 2,000 units, this is the report that Charried received, there was no sales record of COMPOQ and HPH on the report, and there was not even a sales estimate, Charried felt that this was the way IBN should do, and ignored them.

"Huh? Why does the IBN booth seem to be a little deserted, forget it, I'll take a look at the situation here first, don't make my employees feel nervous. ”

Through the crowd, Charlid saw that the crowd near his booth was not very prosperous, and he felt that it was better to take a look at the situation first, and not to put too much pressure on the salespeople below as soon as he arrived at the scene, which was exactly what he hated when he was a salesman.

Messing up his hairstyle, Charlied put his collar up again, so that people who are not too familiar with him should not recognize him, and then squeezed into the COMPOQ booth, and found that the people around him seemed to be queuing, and their purpose was the computer in front of the booth.

"What are they doing on the computer, why are so many people queuing?" (To be continued......)
