Chapter 801

"Boss, Mr. Jacobs is here. Where do you meet him?"

"Lisa, come to my office. By the way, give me some cheese. I'm a little hungry. More red wine. "

"All right, boss."

William White has been exercising a lot recently, so his appetite is very good.

"Owen, what new toy have you come up with?"

"Ha ha, I didn't do it, William, you know? I really envy you. They sold you Bell Labs. "

"No, no, they know it's a good thing, but they don't want to suffer. Owen, a professional manager, is different from us entrepreneurs.

Short term, quick, they don't care about anything but these projects. "

Bell Labs has a strong R & D capability. How can the U.S. telephone and telegraph not know. Unfortunately, after the split of those enterprises, they are more interested in profit.

"Well, you're right. They are."

"Owen, hundreds of millions of R & D funds are spent every year. God, if I were not rich, it would be unimaginable."

"William, you said before that you would replace the telephone line with the cable TV line. I know, you might have been just fooling them. Actually, Bell Labs does have it. "

William White gave the goods a white look and handed him a glass of red wine. DSL is always in the laboratory. How can he not know. However, at that time, the whole world was playing ISDN, and William White was also a beneficiary. Why oppose yourself.

"Owen, they first invented this thing in the hope that cable TV would have an on-demand function. I have to say, this brain hole is really big enough.

God, how can I compress all these programs into digital mode. Even if I do, what device should I use to store it? But this guy does have ideas. "

"Ha ha ha, the one he said can't be done now. However, our efforts in this period have not been in vain. DSL is far more stable than ISDN. It doesn't affect calls at all. "

"Did it work?"

"Yes, it's the perfect Internet solution."

"My God, is there no more traffic jam at last? Owen, you can't imagine what NBC online is like now? "

"Ha ha, it's really a bit frustrating, but Yahoo's visit is also very slow."

It is obviously not appropriate to promote DSL in the 1980s. It's a better time now. Tut Tut, my friends in Europe, I'm afraid they will cry again.

"Come on, Owen, what do you need?"

"There must be a test place first. Xiangjiang bar, boss. You are the biggest operator."

"Damn John Bull, I was the only one. OK, I agree. Los Angeles and San Francisco, do you want to try something? They will agree. "

"OK, I'll talk to them. If I can't, I'll use the cable line right away."

"Hahaha, those little bers should be depressed again. They must regret to hit the wall now."

William White is not just talking about it. Even without this DSL, they have already regretted it. Damo, in particular, is more like a lithium battery project, which is enough for a group of old guys to beat their chests.

With the increase of electronic products, the demand for lithium batteries has been constantly enlarged. In the absence of new technology to replace the case, this thing will be hot for many years.

We all know that lithium batteries are easy to use. If your mobile phone doesn't match this, no one will buy it.

The news from Owen Jacobs made William White very happy. Now that the Internet speed is on the way, whether the website or ICQ, can we consider upgrading.

"Lisa, tell Tom to come here. There's something to arrange."

"All right, boss."

William White didn't want to be in place in one step, but a lot of things have to be prepared. When the pixel is low, art doesn't matter. When you get high definition, there's a problem.

"Tom, are you sure?" Looking at the dead fat man opposite, Bill Gates has a tangled face. It's reasonable to say that this product shouldn't deceive him, but can it really improve so much?

"Bill, I won't admit it when I go out. The boss said that even if your browser does not change now, you must be prepared.

Do I need to remind you how important it is to take a step ahead of time? "

"Tom, that video call."

"No three or five years, you don't even have to think about it. Without universality, it will take not a short time to fully popularize. Most importantly, Europe may not follow. "

Bill Gates is a bit difficult. He can easily understand the technical problems. While admiring William White's bad luck, he is also very sure that if there is no better one, this DSL will replace ISDN.

However, political factors are added to this, which is a headache. None of the enterprises that can produce a piece of equipment belongs to a small company.Of course, he is also very sure that a consensus will be reached in the end. It's just a matter of distribution of interests. You can make money, but don't go too far.

In fact, according to William White's idea, it's best to have it half a year later. Only by constantly upgrading can we make money.

From ordinary dial-up Internet access to ISDN, the intermediate time is too short. As equipment providers, they certainly want to buy it for another two years.

However, William White's focus is not on equipment. Compared with the explosion of the Internet, these devices are nothing.

"What do you think of the news, John?"

John Chambers thought for a moment and said, "boss, it's good for us. It looks like we need to adjust the layout."

"I didn't expect that they really had such things. John, this kind of R & D institution will be sold, isn't it out of your mind? " Morglitch's face was unbelievable. He couldn't figure out what kind of brain damage it was.

"Boss, it's not that easy. This invention, in fact, is to enable cable TV to have the function of on-demand. From this point of view, the invention is a failure.

They developed it on this basis. It's easy to say, but the cost is not small. "

"Well, John, since we've been informed in advance, don't miss this opportunity."

"Well, I know the boss, and I can't hide it for long. At least, those investment banks must know."

Of course, investment banks know that the most difficult one is Damo. It's fun to share the cake. In order to achieve short-term profits, we cut down all R & D projects and institutions. Now, they have completely transformed into a service enterprise.

Of course, William White doesn't think he's a bargain. The lab looks great. Your wallet doesn't look that way. If there is no corresponding industrial support, the money can not be burned down.

You can't just look at successful cases. It's not universal. DSL, which had failed, was inspired by William White.

Once something is famous, you will have countless troubles. Now Bell Labs, in fact, is very hard.

It's easy to say that the R & D funds, William White's poor only left money. All kinds of forces covet, this is the most headache.

It's not about commercial espionage. It's not that simple. NSA dares to ask you to open the code, but you can't refuse it.

As for personal privacy?

Just listen to it. It's all media nonsense. As long as you have contact with other people, it doesn't exist.
