Chapter 248: The Giants Attack

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

On June 7, 196O, after four years of ups and downs, on the occasion of the 46th anniversary of the founding of the old Watson, IBM's "big gamble" of 5O billion yuan won it the Dragon Slaying series of computers.

IBM Dragon Slayer series, a total of 6 models of large, medium and small computers and 44 kinds of new supporting equipment, neatly arranged in the large hall. IBM's dragon-slaying system not only has the most advanced computer functions and the fastest computer computing degree, but also can be compatible with the computers developed by IBM in the past. From the 36O/51 small machine with weak functions to the 36O/91 mainframe with 5oo times more than the 51 type, they are all "compatible machines".

They are perfectly compatible with the latest Dragon Slayer series computers, retaining the functions of the past, while users can still query, modify and use them.

In this era, countries paid no less attention to computers than to nuclear bombs, because every time computers were greatly developed, they were accompanied by the improvement of research progress in various technologies. The U.S. government regards computers as a matter related to national security, and strictly prohibits the export of computers to hostile countries.

Originally, after the launch of the Cray I, many people thought that if they wanted to get a computer developed by CPT, it would take at least ten years to make it possible.

Alex originally thought so, and his appearance had brought about a lot of changes to computers, at least to the level of the early 7o's.

But I didn't expect IBM to be so stimulated. dared to make a desperate bet and invested a huge amount of $5o billion to develop the Dragon Slayer series, and suddenly set a new record in the computing power of the level computer.

It's only 2o% faster than the Cray I, but that's pretty impressive!

The launch of IBM's Dragon Slayer series of computers immediately caused a sensation around the world. The scientific community is boiling, the computer world is crazy! From the United States to the Soviet Union, from the Americas 6 to the Eurasian 6, this news has set off a huge computer storm all over the world!

The most affected by the storm is the Cray I, which was originally the world's fastest computing computer, but now has to be relegated to second place. The storm caused by IBM also caused CPT to lose a lot of users. Companies that had planned to buy Cray I computers also stopped placing orders. Switched to IBM to ask how to sell the computers of the Dragon Slayer series.

After all, the Dragon Slayer series can be compatible with the computers produced by IBM before, and many companies have been their users, if the Dragon Slayer series computers are purchased back, they can immediately rejuvenate the computers that were originally intended to be eliminated.

None of this is the biggest loss for CPT companies. What's worse is that the government department transferred all the orders originally intended for CPT to IBM. From this, we can see how much influence the Watson family has in the government department. How well connected. It can even influence some decisions.

Watson Jr. was naturally proud of this, when he faced Alex and IBM faced CPT. Repeated defeats. It was at his insistence that he invested 5O billion yuan in the development of the so-called dragon slaying series of computers, so that IBM finally succeeded in hitting the dragon of CPT company after 4 years.

"As long as you work harder, you can make the Dragon Slayer series achieve its name of dragon slaying!" Whenever little Watson thinks about this, he can't help but immediately knock the CPT company to the ground, and then step on it a few more times.

The birth of the Dragon Slayer series of computers symbolizes the advent of a new era, and the IBM Dragon Slayer Computer marks the official arrival of the third generation of computers on the historical stage. To celebrate its birth, IBM held press conferences in 63 cities and 14 countries in the United States, attended by nearly 10,000 people from all over the world.

In New York, Watson Jr. personally rented a special train and led more than 2oo reporters to the real YΓ n room of IBM Poughkeepsie. He solemnly announced to the world, "This is the most important epoch-making product of our company since its founding. ”

At this point, anyone who knows a little about computers knows that CPT's leading position is still in jeopardy. If they don't come up with more IBM computer products, I am afraid that in a year or two, the hegemony of the computer market will change hands.

The Carpenter family might have been able to cope with IBM's offensive under normal circumstances, but now they are like a leaky boat, even if they bet on one hole over there, and several more holes are broken here.

When Alex learned about IBM's latest computer cloth, he hurried to CPT's computer research institute to find Seymour? Clay, a computer powerhouse, hurriedly asked, "When will our computer be completed?" ”

Seymour, of course, knew why Alex was anxious, he thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it will take a year or two!" ”

Hearing such an answer, Alex shook his head again and again: "It's too late!" We have to speed things up. ”

As he spoke, he patted Seymour on the shoulder, and then managed to copy Seymour's memory information into space. From the Seymour doll, he learned that Seymour had pressed the time very tightly, and even if Alex came by himself, I am afraid it would take half a year to a year.

It's just that Alex can't devote all his energy to computer research now, he still has a lot of things to do, and there are many companies waiting for him to deal with problems.

"It seems that the other party is difficult at the same time, and it is also trying to make it difficult for me to take care of all the companies," Alex thought to himself: "I have to find a way to break the situation!" ”

Before he could come up with a reliable solution, there was bad news from CPT.

"Carpenter radios can't be sold!" The person in charge of CPT, Old Joe, found Alex and explained the ins and outs of this matter.

It turned out that IBM and General Electric had teamed up to develop a better radio, which was smaller, more convenient, and cheaper than the "Carpenter" radio!

Yes. Be cheaper! They plan to make small profits and sell hard to suppress the radios produced by CPT. Not only that, but it is said that they are also preparing to enter the market for other electrical appliances, such as water heaters, refrigerators, air conditioners, and so on.

However, the more important thing is the radio, don't underestimate such a small radio, in this era, people who don't have a Walkman, if they want to listen to music at any time, they have to buy a portable radio.

Water heaters, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., are all electronic products that only middle-class families can afford. And the radio is the electronic product that really does one for everyone. The cost is not high, and the price is not expensive. The profits are also very large.

Alex Ming's radio was named "Carpenter" radio. It is very loud and easy to remember, and it was sold out as soon as it was listed. Carpenter Electronics' production capacity increased again and again, and in the end, it was unable to meet the huge demand. They had to license other companies to make the radios as well.

Other tube radio manufacturers were robbed of the vast majority of market share by "carpenter" radios. They tried to work out transistor radios as well. As a result, Alex now has to face patent barriers.

At first, they planned to circumvent these patents, but they couldn't bypass them anyway. So they wanted to get authorization, but Alex didn't bother at all.

These manufacturers were cornered, and some had to bite the bullet to research new radios, while others had to surrender to Carpenter Electronics and become the manufacturer of "Carpenter" radios.

Finally, in 1957, one of the companies, Philip, finally made a transistor radio, but because it did not use integrated circuit board technology, it was relatively expensive, too large and had poor performance.

In 1o years, the "Carpenter" radio dominated more than 9o% of the market share, and the profits brought by this small radio to the Carpenter family were unimaginable.

In the first year alone, Carpenter sold 1oo0,000 radios, making millions of dollars in profits for the Carpenters. If it weren't for the capacity constraints, it is estimated that several million units could be sold.

With a huge income, Bart invested the money in the research department, improving air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions, etc. Under Alex's construction, the first thing they changed was to apply integrated circuit boards and transistors to electrical appliances. With these two killer weapons, even without Alex, those researchers would be able to miniaturize and cheapen these appliances.

Since then, in addition to the profitability of radios, Carpenter Electronics has also continued to make profits in air conditioners, refrigerators, and televisions. Gradually, Carpenter Electronics grew, and Bart grew with the company.

What can be said is that without the "Carpenter" radio, there would be no CPT company. There will be no later computers, and other electrical products.

Radios have always been the foundation of CPT, and even if other electronics don't make money, they can still make a big profit in the radio market.

Now IBM and General Electric are doing this, which is equivalent to hollowing out the foundation of CPT, just like the Rockefeller consortium wants to take away Hughes Tools from Hughes.

"It's so deceitful! It's too much of a deception! ”

After knowing the news, even Bart, who has been at ease? Carpenter couldn't sit still, and he hurried over to discuss with Alex about countermeasures. In his opinion, the first pot of gold of the Carpenter family came from the record company, and the real family started from the CPT company, and the CPT company must not have any mistakes.

"Alex, can you think of a way to make a more advanced radio? If you compare their radios, you must not give up the radio market! ”

Listening to his father Bart's request, Alex had to smile bitterly: "How can things be so simple!" If I have time, maybe I can settle down and do a Ming Chuang. But now that people are attacking on all fronts, will I not be able to bury my head in the research room? ”

In fact, for such a thing, it is quite easy to break, but there are too many things to do, so that Alex is like a firefighter to put out fires everywhere. In normal times, even if he doesn't do it himself, he only needs to give a direction and idea, and let the researchers below slowly figure it out.

If you want to do it slowly, I'm afraid it's going to be hanging! People make such a big noise. There's not going to be time for the Carpenter family to slow down.

Do you really want to kowtow to the Freemasons and confess their mistakes, as Hughes said, and then respectfully offer the secret hands obtained from Tesla's manuscript?

"Nope! This must not be done! ”

Alex had just had such a thought, and immediately strangled it in the bud, and he absolutely could not give in to those who were self-righteous.

"Want to me? Then let's give it a try! ”

Although they know that the Freemasons or the Illuminati are very good, they just stretch out their little fingers to test and see what strength the Carpenter family has. It's not time to tear your face off, maybe people are just on a whim and don't take this matter as a big deal.

But for Alex and the Carpenter family, this is already a matter of life and death. Accidentally. More than ten years of family accumulation will be ruined.

Maybe in the end, he will be able to leave some of the family assets. And the Carpenter family was able to rely on SCC and rely on the cooperation with the Hughes Group to get started. But this result is not what Alex wants.

What's more, people haven't used conventional forces yet, and everything is in accordance with the rules of the world. Lay out the carriages and horses and do it openly. Even Hughes, an insider, is not easy to interfere with. Plus Hughes himself is in a lot of trouble. His Hughes Group and the Rockefeller consortium have never stopped fighting openly and secretly, and if he loses the fight, he can't blame others.

"You have to build your own team!" Alex thought silently. A thought slowly arises.

Yes, if you want to join the circle of the so-called top of the pyramid, you have to have your own strength.

Hughes has his own powerful troops, and the last time Alex went to the base, he used to scout with spiritual sorcery.

At that time, he could feel that there were a lot of mental fluctuations coming back, and if he hadn't contracted quickly, he would have had a collision with the other party at the spiritual level.

Alex has always looked at the world through the eyes of ordinary people. thinks that as long as you abide by the law, be honest, and be an honest billionaire, you will be able to live a safe and comfortable life.

It's a pity that his idea was too naΓ―ve!

If a wealthy family like the Rockefeller family did not have its own dead soldiers and no forces under its own control, how could it be possible to sit on so much wealth and spend every day in peace and happiness? It's completely impossible!

The armed forces of the US government itself are not weak, and the navy, navy, air force, and armed forces are even more powerful in the world. Although it is said that with money in the United States, there is power and power, but once such a person is in power, what is the first thought that arises in their hearts when they see those billionaires who have no power to protect themselves?

I must be thinking, why do you have to listen to you if you have money, Lao Tzu has a gun in his hand!

Until now, there has been no such thing, which shows a problem, the so-called power at the top of the pyramid is certainly not simple. They have not only money in their hands, but also force!

Hughes once said that power can be money, knowledge, prestige, and connections! But there is one more thing he didn't mention, and that is his own force! This is a power that can destroy a qiΔ“ and kill enemies!

Now in addition to money, the Carpenter family also has some force in their hands on the surface, that is, the so-called security guards, bodyguards, etc. But these people are not loyal enough to the Carpenter family, they are loyal to money, and once they have no money, then they will also leave.

What's more, they all belong to conventional forces, and they don't have any permanent abilities, and it is difficult to deal with a killer like Kane.

If Alex hadn't encountered a kidnapping case and hadn't experienced wandering in the wilderness, maybe he would continue to pretend that he didn't know about the existence of Freemasonry and Illuminati organizations in order to be comfortable in the next life, and honestly mess around within the range demarcated by the other party.

"But I'm the man who wants to be the king of the world! Bastard! Alex said to himself: "This world is so boring, this king is really boring!" How can you go on like this, the world has to change! ”

Of course, the above is just Alex's idle and boring thoughts, but he does not have a good impression of those so-called masters, as the inheritor of ancient civilizations, he has not been able to enter his duties, only cares about maintaining his dominance, and making a mess of the world. Thousands of years have passed before the civilization of human beings on earth has re-developed to this point, which is really disappointing. (To be continued......)
