Enclosed vertical architecture!
PCs with this architecture can only be used by the user, and cannot be disassembled and assembled by themselves. This requires that this model is simple to operate and functional......
Yes, Alex adopted the same philosophy that later Steve Jobs thought, he wanted to take advantage of the situation and completely occupy the PC market before talking about other things. He believed that with his own leadership, ARK would not make the mistake of destroying his character.
"Seymour, then I'll leave the problem on IBM's side to you!" Alex finally said to Seymour and the others, "As for the Ark company's PC...... Noyce, you should prepare first, write a plan and hand it over, especially about the market, production and after-sales service. In the future, ARK will have an additional sales department, and you will be in charge for the time being......"
Hearing this, Noyce was stunned at first, and then ecstatic!
The joy was soon expressed in his face, his mouth wide open, and his mind went blank.
Alex's appointment seems to be a bit messy, letting a scientific researcher like Noyce be in charge of marketing or something. In fact, only they know that this is to train Noyce, so that he can be independent in the future, not only to stay in the real room, but also to be able to go out and deal with people from other companies.
"It's amazing!"
"Why didn't this kind of good thing happen to me?"
"The sales department? Sounds awesome, but I'm still a little bit more interested in technology! β
"Is this the rhythm that wants Noyce to succeed as president in the future?"
The young men who defected with Noyce had mixed feelings. There is envy, jealousy, joy, and so on. However, they all admit that Noyce's ability is indeed much stronger, and they have been in the room for a long time, and if they were replaced by another person, they might still be a little reluctant and even afraid.
Noyes is the eldest brother among them, has a high prestige, and is the leader of the Eight Youths!
Giving Noyce this carrot can be regarded as a treat for these young people, and he drew a big pie. If Noyes is capable, Alex is naturally willing to help him to the throne. Even if the ARK company is given to Neuss to manage. That's okay too.
As for the other young people, seeing that Noyes has gone up, they will naturally work harder, and Alex has no intention of treating them badly. Salaries, bonuses, stock options, and so on are all given. compared to other Silicon Valley companies. Ark's salary is not low.
If this hasn't attracted talents. Alex really didn't have much energy to deal with the other party, so he could only let it go.
"Then that's the way it goes, you act at once! I still have other places to go! "Alex has arranged the work. He immediately left ARK and left Silicon Valley.
In his position, these things no longer need him to be himself, or even follow and supervise in person, as long as the general direction is determined, someone below will carry it out. He only asks for the result, not the process, and this is the benefit of being a boss.
This time, the Carpenter family was hit by all sides, all kinds of digging into the wall, all kinds of squeezing, but they couldn't bring it down. There is a big reason that Alex treats people well, and many people who are poached may no longer have any hope of climbing up in the middle management, so they will run away with higher treatment.
But the real core backbone, like Seymour? A big bull like Clay, even if IBM drops hundreds of millions of dollars, it is estimated that he will not leave. Because Seymour knows that his business is already connected to CPT, regardless of each other. If you leave CPT for the sake of immediate interests, it is almost like self-destruction.
For one reason or another, the Carpenter survived the first wave of attacks, and Alex immediately organized a counterattack. The TV field and the record industry have begun to fight back, and the results of the counterattack are not bad, at least NBC and Disney have been beaten back one after another, and there is no temper to say.
Now that CPT and ARK are ready to start competing with IBM in the computer market, and the odds are quite good, Alex can't wait to see the outcome of the matter right away.
For the recent incident, so many Carpenter family businesses have been attacked, Alex has actually been prepared for a long time.
It's just that he wonders, why now?
According to common sense, IBM, CBS, General Electric, etc., these giants in the industry, should be inextricably linked. When the Carpenter family was weak, they sat idly by, and at first, it may be assumed that they did not value the Carpenter family, and that Alex and the others were not their opponents.
But when it really took off, these companies waited until now to start together. It's so counterintuitive, why aren't these companies acting before that?
Unless they were under the control of people of a higher level, somehow, those people had only now besieged the Carpenter family.
Alex's mind flashed through the names and faces of several people, and he wanted to know who was behind it!
Rockefeller? Hughes? Or is it simply a f to force Director Hoover?
Ever since Alex learned that the world wasn't as simple as it seemed, he had wondered if he would be attacked by the forces of nature if he continued like this.
This is a very strict question!
If the Carpenter family were too high-profile and threatening to some people, it would be easy for an organization with real power to want them to die silently.
Ultimately, though, Alex decided that these organizations would not use the forces of nature against each other.
Judging from the kidnapping case alone, the other party would rather hire a killer to do it than do it himself. It can be seen that the other party also has a lot of principles for doing things, at least he will not use natural forces lightly. Like vampires, werewolves, and witchcraft......
What's more, Alex has been testing the other party's bottom line. Wait for someone else to come to him, negotiate and communicate with him.
Surprisingly, no matter what Alex did, no one ever came to him.
If you don't count Hughes and Hoover, there really isn't anyone who comes into contact with you. Not even anyone who claims to be a Freemason or a Illuminati has ever met, let alone negotiated face-to-face or anything.
Hughes?
Alex recalls the conversation with Hughes at the base, and in the words, the other party did not explicitly say anything. Just to sΓΉ him, about Freemasonry, the Illuminati and the Gate of Truth, as well as the so-called legacy of the sages.......
Of course. Hughes also has a vague hint to. The Carpenter family could be in this situation. But it didn't feel like a negotiation, it seemed like a reminder.
If Hughes really represented the side of the top power of the pyramid, perhaps he would have used various means to subdue himself and openly pull the Carpenter family to the side of the Hughes group. Wouldn't that be easier and faster?
But Hughes never did. Or rather, he didn't dare to do it so blatantly. As long as Alex made a slight gesture of resistance. Hughes will immediately stop the oppression and turn to the means of tenderness!
If it were in a world where there were no forces of nature, perhaps it would be normal to do so. But since Alex knew that Hughes had a master around him, he felt that there was a reason why the other party couldn't overpower people.
As for what the reason is, Alex has also guessed, and the first thing that comes to his mind is the Rockefeller family.
After he was kidnapped, it was said that someone on the Rockefeller side stood up for him!
The people of the "Kowloon Society" have been warned, and this news should be true! Whether it's the news from Hughes's side, or the news Alex learned from copying the memories of Kane and the crazy eight, it proves this.
The problem is, after Rockefeller did such a thing, he didn't even say it to Alex! It wasn't even mentioned, as if there was no such thing at all!
Rockefeller is not Uncle Lei Feng!
They need to be rewarded for their good deeds, and at first Alex thinks that the other party's goal is to get a stake in the SCC company, which is the Carpenter family.
Unexpectedly, when Alex rejected Lawrence, the other party simply didn't mention it.
This is completely counterintuitive!
Unless the other party has a bigger goal, or something more important, Alex can't figure out what this is all about!
Now it seems that the other party either wants to swallow the Carpenter family in one go, or wants to get Alex!
Or do you want to get Alex who has the "key"? It's not impossible, and when Alex gets Tesla's manuscript and enters Tesla's spiritual hut, he knows he's touched something he shouldn't have touched.
But...... The timing is not quite right!
Unless someone on the Rockefeller side could predict the future, how could they have laid out the layout before that? You must know that Alex's kidnapping and other events were born before getting the manuscript.
It's a real headache!
Alex couldn't figure out why, if he faced an enemy who could predict the future, then no matter what he did, he would be preempted by the other party to be wary of.
The most important thing is that if Rockefeller's goal was the "Sage Legacy", then he should have come and contacted Alex directly after he left the warehouse.
The other party has not moved, but he has made such a big formation! It's not at all logical.
According to the current situation, the way of business is to negotiate and communicate first, and if it does not work, they will choose to use force. There's no need for the other party to do this, they haven't even talked about it yet!
If someone on the other side can predict the future, then they should know that Alex is willing to negotiate with them.
As the saying goes, if you can't defeat your enemies, then join them.
Alex is not so brain-dead that he thinks he is Long Aotian, and what he is doing now is to increase the bargaining chips in future negotiations. Unexpectedly, the other party never came forward to negotiate with him!
He felt like he was caught in a strange fog of war that he couldn't see through! (To be continued......)
