Chapter 733

"Give up personal PC? Bill, this is not a constructive suggestion. The market for mainframe and medium-sized computers is shrinking. As for minicomputers, it's a disaster at all. "

"Mr. Gerstner, IBM has no price advantage. As you can see, Dell is developing most rapidly now, and Compaq is very difficult to maintain the current situation.

Of course, if you have a breakthrough in technology, or can solve the high price. In the case of close prices, IBM's brand appeal is still very strong. "

It's not pleasant to meet Bill Gates. Think about it. That slick kid can basically have an equal dialogue with them.

He's in a bad mood. Bill Gates is in a good mood. After so many years, he has been recognized by Microsoft. A relatively fair negotiation with IBM is still something that many companies can't expect.

Whether or not Gerstner has the ability to lead IBM to turn over, his view is different from that of William White. In his opinion, there is no obvious difference between IBM computers and Compaq computers. Even Dell, which is relatively cheap, has little difference in use.

If we talk with Bill Gates, he still has some confidence. When I met with William White, he really didn't have much confidence.

William White is already IBM's largest individual shareholder. From this point of view, he is just a worker.

"Mr. Gerstner, the boss is in his private office. Please follow me."

"Yes, thank you."

Looking at the layout of white center, Gerstner can't help feeling that IBM's country club is extravagant. Look at the white center.

Along the way, Gerstner noticed that most of the personal PCs used here are from IBM.

"Hello, Louis. I'm William White. Welcome to our hotel."

In fact, it's a little disrespectful for William White to call him old Louis. But in Gerstner's eyes, it is not the same thing. He noticed that all the laptops and desktops here are from IBM.

If the goods are not deliberately arranged, he can basically judge that William White is a loyal supporter of IBM. This unexpected situation really made him laugh and cry. Bill Gates doesn't like IBM computers very much.

"Hello, Mr. White. I'm sorry to disturb you."

William White waved, "just call me William. My friends call me William."

When William White said that, Gerstner was more relaxed. Good. This is not arrogant. He is a very easygoing person. Rumors from the outside world are quite different from facts.

"Give up personal PC? Hahaha, let me guess. It's bill who gave you the advice? "

Cough, Gerstner's expression is a little wonderful. He didn't expect that William White would be so direct.

"Well, Louis, from his point of view, you can't say he's wrong. The price of IBM is on the high side, and the users of personal PC are extremely sensitive to the price.

However, although it is called PC, it is only used in the office. These companies may not care much about the price difference of about 15%.

As for those individuals, to be honest, if you don't show sincerity, they won't buy it. "

"William, I noticed that you have almost all our equipment here. Is this price insensitive? "

"Not really. Your computers are relatively more stable. As for those performance defects, white system is the production of expansion card, as long as there is PCI interface, these are no problems

As soon as Gerstner stayed, yes, all the boards produced by white system are compatible with IBM. In other words, they are optimistic about this market. But, so far, big blue has not adopted, NIMA. Is this arrogance and Prejudice.

"3D accelerator card is very cool. We will consider this in our next model."

"In fact, 2.5D is suitable. Your target customers are business oriented. It's necessary to enhance the graphics processing ability. As for the others, it's not of great significance for the time being.

Lewis, personal PC is a huge market. No matter how Compaq Dell is, they can't eat it. "

In the next visit, Gerstner also opened his eyes. Just a 3D accelerator card, white system has several R & D teams.

Thinking of this, Gerstner was a little angry. A 3D accelerator card has 64 megabytes of memory. Their designers are still debating whether four megabytes is better or eight megabytes is better.

Nima, it's time to consider whether it will impact the minicomputer market.

The white center is not only luxurious. Except for the floor of William White, all the people in other places use running.

Well, if it's the same with the staff of giant blue, why should I destroy that country club.

It's a bad idea to withdraw employee benefits rashly. If it is not a last resort, why should he be such a villain. It's not a pleasant thing to let hundreds of thousands of employees and their families hate themselves.Madder, you'll say that the white system's fortune is better than ours, because Mao they're all right. You don't want to come and see what efficiency people have here and what efficiency you have.

Tut Tut, William White is such a jerk. He really enjoys it.

William White and Bill Gates, these are two styles. To put it simply, there is no way to say who is more powerful.

Gerstner was very curious. William White's familiarity with IBM was beyond his imagination. From this point of view, he is well prepared to invest in IBM.

It is clear that Lao Guo will not give up PC. To be sure, if all those unprofitable departments are cut off, IBM can quickly return to profitability.

But, in this way, is NIMA still called giant blue. I'll call you Smurf if I'm a little mean.

The cake of the PC industry is so big that it uses all IBM standards. To tell you the truth, William White can't figure it out. Bill Gates, they have a grudge.

"Boss, is Gerstner crazy or is Bill Gates taking the wrong medicine. We all want to get involved in the PC market, but they are going to give up. "

"Ha ha, it's just smoke bomb. As for Bill Gates, he may have been bullied by IBM before. He's going to throw a stone."

"It's not like that. If there wasn't giant blue..."

"Philson, there's a saying in China, it's called Sheng mien Dou Mi Qiu. To help others can, but not too much. You see, I'm in trouble in Africa, too.

Damn, you gave back 150000 tons of wheat last year. Why only 100000 tons this year. Why did you take our food. Look, that's what they're talking about. "

Philson was speechless. He really didn't understand what was wrong with these guys' brain circuits.

"Boss, from this point of view, charity is not impossible. We must be careful."

"Ha ha, actually, I need to care about what they think. Since I don't like it, it's most appropriate to leave some things to the people of the food agency and try not to have a direct relationship. "

Charity can make you depressed, which is a wonderful work.

William White now understood why those rich people would rather take care of stray cats than tramps. The sages of the Chinese dynasty made it very clear thousands of years ago.
