IBM, Watson Jr. received a strange letter, or a letter of intent to collaborate - from Intel.

"Laser Disc ......"

It's a fresh term.

In this letter of intent, the most detailed is to explain this problem.

Laser disc technology is the future that Catherine envisions.

Watson Jr. is really excited about this kind of large-capacity storage system.

However, as a businessman, the most important thing you need is to be wary of this "heartbeat". Because he's not sure if it's a dig or a really win-win.

Although Intel is a competitor of IBM, Catherine has very little accumulation after all, although IBM is a big stupid elephant, but its technical capabilities are still very rich.

Catherine's plan is undoubtedly painting cakes.

But she didn't believe that the other party didn't take the bait.

This is the trend of future development, and it is also very helpful for IBM's hard disk research.

Of course, little Watson didn't know that Catherine also had a VCD plan that was being discussed in the company.

In fact, the research of optical discs was earlier than hard disks, and in 72 years, Philips had already developed laser discs. This concept has been around since the 60s!

It's just that the bit error rate of discs at this time is quite high, and now, no one is really studying this.

Catherine can be said to have taken the first step at this time.

Little Watson was very excited, but also very entangled. Intel is its own competitor after all.

Although there are no eternal enemies in this world, do you really need to cooperate with each other?

Not only this, the other party has already stated that the patents of integrated circuits, CPUs and RAM can be licensed to IBM, and Watson Jr. really doesn't want to give up.

And Catherine, who made little Watson entangled, is also entangled at the moment.

The reason is very simple, because a middle-aged woman named Elizabeth is investigating Intel's revenue with a straight face. Of course, due to legal protection, it is impossible for the other party to conduct an in-depth investigation of their company, but this has already caused Catherine a headache.

Perhaps no one in the United States is afraid of the government or the police. But when it comes to the IRS, there will be many people who gnash their teeth with hatred. The United States is a "country of ten thousand taxes," and the inspectors of the IRS are not only tall and proficient in their professions, but they also carry weapons and equipment that are not inferior to those of professional police officers.

For example, there was a Japanese immigrant dentist named Murata, and in order to investigate his tax evasion, the IRS spent more than a month finding the patients one by one through the car license plate numbers recorded by guò, and copied their invoices. It turned out that there were many poor people who were cheaper, and as a result, Murata undercharged about 10% of their consultation fees, and if the patient paid in cash, he did not invoice the patient.

In the end, the dentist was convicted "of tax evasion, fraud, concealment of evidence, forgery...... and nine other crimes. He was sentenced to three years in prison, fined $24 million in tax evasion, paid $5 million in back taxes, and was released without bail. ”

All in all, it's an organization that digs three feet into the ground to collect taxes.

Long before doing this, Catherine had decided that no matter what she did, she could not offend the IRS, and she could not save the taxes she should pay......

But even so, the other party obviously did not intend to let go of Catherine's business.

Even so, the Japanese will not stop.

Catherine analyzes the methods of the Japanese - mainly dumping.

Japan is not allowed to import American television sets, so Japanese TV sets can hold a monopoly position at home and sell domestic TV sets at ultra-high prices.

And in the United States, they falsely state a high-priced export. Although it has to pay more tariffs, it is actually sold in the United States at a price lower than cost. As a result, of course, the domestic television sets in the United States could not be sold.

Finally, the Japanese government provides tax rebates and subsidies to companies to compensate for the losses of TV exporters.

This was the whole process of the Japanese television occupation of the United States.

But now, Catherine's company has surpassed Japan and become a thorn in the side of her American counterparts.

Sooner or later, Japan will be sheared and peaches picked, there is no doubt about it. But Catherine, a native of the United States, will not be like the Japanese.

"How's that old woman?"

Catherine asked Sanders.

"Our company did not evade taxes, so although the other party's inspection was careful, it did not leave any handles......

"Hmm. The plan to set up a Liechtenstein subsidiary was a little faster, and we have been paying more and more taxes lately. ”

Thirty percent of the profits were taken away by the government, and Catherine couldn't bear it. And she also had to pay taxes.

"By the way, there's one more thing, Sanders." Something suddenly occurred to Catherine.

"Please."

"Sanders, do you have a way to get a team of lawyers who can fight international lawsuits?"

"International lawsuit?! Do you want to sue those Japanese companies? But on what grounds? The other party did not infringe on our company? ”

There's something strange about Sanders.

"Of course it's not you anymore."

Catherine smiled, then pointed to herself.

"It's me."

"You?"

Sanders reacted suddenly.

There is no doubt that the other party has infringed.

To be precise, a series of companies, including Westinghouse Electronics, have all infringed.

And this patent belongs to Catherine personally.

-- Integrated circuits.

A TV without integrated circuits is not the TV it is today.

Although there are still color TVs, they can only be considered the low-end of the low-end.

Originally, such a TV appeared in 1966.

But with the launch of GameTV, better display effect and more fashionable appearance have become people's first choice.

Then, all kinds of integrated circuit TVs began to spring up

However, Catherine's integrated circuit technology is fully licensed only by Fairchild and Texas Instruments! Other companies are only partially licensed!

"I see!"

Sanders was immediately excited.

In addition to this, Catherine brought in Olsen again.

In addition to XBOX, Apple is now more focused on tackling a display tube technology. They wanted to research this technology before Sony, which was the Trilon graphics tube technology that appeared in 1967.

With Longguan technology, we have mastered the highest-end technology of almost all current TVs and displays.

If the other party wants to squeeze Catherine out of the lowest-end TV market, then let them go, as long as Catherine masters the upper-level technology and the mid-range market, she is stable!

All in all, now Catherine has the technology of integrated circuits in her hands, but the other party illegally produces her own products without knowing it, once she sues, the other party will definitely be anxious!
