Chapter Ninety-One: Various Problems
Calasanto knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Then, he walked in.
"Hello, Miss Edson."
The other party greeted first.
"Hello."
Catherine laughed too.
"I think you've already read the script."
The other nodded.
"The script is very good, especially the ending, there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment. I haven't met Mr. Stallone yet, though...... But Mr. Bruce Lee is really suitable for this film. ”
Catherine nodded.
"What do you think of the film?"
Catherine continued.
Calasanto offered some of her own insights about the film.
"The special operators mentioned in your script should be trained, but on the other hand, this is not just a realistic film, so we may need more additional props and possibly a lot of special effects......"
"Yes, what I want to express is the technology of the world that is slightly closer to the future."
Calasanto nodded.
"But, what about the heroine?"
"Uh...... I haven't thought it through, do you have any comments? ”
Catherine asked.
Karasanto frowned as well.
Indeed, this is a matter of strict zhòng.
The choice of the heroine is very important.
But...... Who to look for?
After thinking about it for a long time, Calasanto didn't have a good candidate. After all, women who act in action movies are still in the minority. Although I don't say that there is none, but I want to find a suitable one, and there are still schedules, there are really not many.
Then, Kalasanto suddenly looked at Catherine, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing he was.
"You."
"Me?"
Catherine pointed to herself.
The other man nodded.
"You're a good fit, tall and tall, uh...... It's just a little thin, but it's okay after makeup. ”
It is true that Catherine is fair-skinned and has a smaller skeleton, but Catherine has a foundation in dancing...... Maybe it does. And Catherine was once the main character.
"I'll think about it."
That's all Catherine could say in the end.
After all, she's still locked up.
Then Catherine looked at the letter again.
Elvis did not reply to Catherine, who seemed to be hesitating, and Catherine was ready to continue sending an invitation to the other party.
She doesn't care how much direct benefit the other party can bring to herself, but she cares about the popularity that the other party can give her.
While Catherine was busy, his father suddenly came in.
Seeing Catherine here, he was also stunned for a moment.
After all, this is Bruce's office.
"Dad, what did the Pentagon say to you?" Catherine asked first.
"It's nothing, just a little bit about the future of computers, and my head is big...... What are you doing here? ”
"Take care of something...... I'm a big boss! ”
Catherine said as a matter of course.
"Tell me all the things~Dad~"
Catherine looked at each other with a smile.
"It's none of your business, Kate...... All right. ”
Bruce sighed.
"The Pentagon asked us about the outlook for the computer industry. The computer industry will get a comprehensive and large-scale development. That would be universal. ”
He paused.
"Then they asked me about the use of computers in the military industry. I think that's probably what they care about the most. Computers will have an impact on the military and industry in every way, and fully automated production, and automated warfare, are the themes of the future...... That's all I can say. ”
"And then?"
Catherine asked eagerly.
"Then, they seemed to be interested in it, and alas, they seemed to feel that the size of our company was ...... Belch...... Some small. ”
Hearing her father's words, Catherine nodded approvingly.
It is true that compared to IBM, its own company is simply not qualified.
But there is no problem, DreamWorks' income has already reached tens of millions, and with the profits of companies such as Blizzard, Catherine can use about $100 million. Of course, because of buying a house in Manhattan, there are about 80 million that can be used now.
She immediately made a decision.
--Acquisition of DEC.
DEC, which is the digital equipment company.
DEC was born in 1957, and at the beginning of 1958, the first products - digital real rooms and digital system components - were shipped, and the sales in the first year were 94,000 US dollars, and the company made a little, albeit little, profit. In 1962, DEC's fifth fiscal year, sales were $6.5 million and net income was $0.8 million; In 1963, DEC generated a profit of $1.2 million; In 1964, sales rose to $11 million, but profits fell to $0.9 million. In June 1963, DEC needed a cash loan of $300,000 from ARD to repay the ...... in three years.
Although this is the case now.
However, this is the dragon diving into the abyss, and in the 70s, with the release of PDP-11, DEC will soar into the sky, and the scenery will be unique for a while, and even IBM will avoid its edge.
However, the company was eventually acquired by Hewlett-Packard.
DEC is Catherine's goal.
With DEC, it means that until the 80s, I have the qualifications to compete with IBM!
At the same time, he was able to further enhance his computer strength and win the trust of the Pentagon.
And DEC also has a strong man, for Catherine, this person is no less important than Seymour Clay, who created the Cray vector machine.
You know, the other party is not only a manager, not just a technician, he is also the founder of the famous "matrix" production model.
His name was Olson.
The so-called "matrix" is that a manager is responsible for a production line and is fully responsible for production, sales and marketing; His duty is to make profits, whether it is a profit or a loss, the responsibility belongs to him, and he is responsible for a qiē.
Olson's "matrix" is a huge change in the history of product production.
It was because of this that Olson's DEC escaped the company's collapse in 1965 and turned the tide.
In 1963 and 1964, Olson's company's production began to deteriorate, and profits fell sharply. In particular, it was in a difficult situation after being hit by Catherine's approved castration version of the computer skin.
At this time, it is the perfect time to acquire Olsen's DEC!
Olsen pays a lot, and if at this time, she throws an olive branch to the other party, she believes that the other party will not refuse at all.
Especially when you can still afford to pay a lot of money......
