Reborn American Tycoon

　If William White was a second-generation ancestor, no one would care too much about it. The situation is obviously different now, and no one will ignore his influence anymore.

Chapter 23 The world of second-hand goods

　Little Bush was very happy. William White came on horseback, surrounded by a group of cowboys. This way of greeting was very traditional, and ordinary friends did not receive this kind of treatment.

　"George, you are fat, are you sure you can still ride a horse?"

　Little Bush gracefully raised his middle finger, and laughed loudly: "I thought you had become young, but you are still so rude."

　"Haha, that novel you're talking about? Write it casually, don't pay too much attention to it."

　Little Bush smiled wryly: "William, you've made my brother miserable. My father tried his best to let me study, saying that he wanted to strengthen his artistic accomplishment."

　"Oh, then you can watch La Traviata and give your dad a Texas version."

　"Fuck you, I said, did you really write that book?"

　"What's the matter? I've started writing the second book. I can't help it. Life is difficult."

　"Your sister is in trouble! You can become a millionaire with just one book, you are going crazy!"

　"Let's go, let's go to the farm and talk."

　A group of little Bushu's followers did not expect that a second generation ancestor of the family would have such face.

　In fact, the two guys are close in age, and their personalities are somewhat similar. To put it bluntly, they are duo.

　A rising second-rate is still a second-rate in the final analysis, so the world of second-rates is very strange, and people outside don't understand why.

　As William White's reputation continued to rise, there were too many people who wanted to establish a good relationship. Although people would receive him out of politeness, it was definitely not the standard for this reception.

　A best-selling author may not be uncommon in other places, but it is too rare in Texas. Although there are many stories here, few people can write them. Their characters are too rough. The profession of a writer is really not very suitable.

　Little Bush stayed at the farm for two days, feeling dizzy every day, and William White accompanied him almost the whole time.

　Although this guy is a dick, he is not stupid. They really did not treat him as an outsider, and he is still as rude as before.

　Several of his attendants are already stupid, they came here with the idea of ​​pilgrimage, Forrest Gump is very popular in Texas, of course they have read it.

　It's just that this writer is really ridiculous, not much better than their bastard son, the only difference may be his control, he also drinks, but never gets drunk.

　Well, this guy's knowledge is indeed profound, and he has literary allusions at his fingertips. If little Bushu didn't have such help, he would definitely be tortured into a scumbag.

　After successfully completing the task assigned by his father, little Bushu returned home happily. His attitude was very clear. I don't want to take care of the elephant's affairs. If it is your family's affairs, I will fully support it.

　This statement is enough. Seriously speaking, the elephant does not belong to his family. The current situation is very good.

　William White also bluntly stated that the focus of his development will be shifted to California. It is really inappropriate to label it as an elephant. California is the base of donkeys.

　Such an important decision was actually negotiated like this, which made the surrounding group dizzy and complained secretly, we don't understand the world of second-hand goods.

　William White thought to himself, the two father and son have been in that position for more than ten years, if I don't build a good relationship now, will I continue to flatter them in the future?

　"Master, Motorola has sent you the CPU you asked for."

　"Let the former electronic engineers come back and hand over the work at hand."

　"Okay, sir"

　Holding this CPU, William White was full of emotions. Although this stuff still has many flaws, there is one thing that cannot be ignored. The life of this CPU is as long as 40 years, and it seems that there is still meaning to continue.

　It has to be said that Motorola's ability to kill is exemplary, but he couldn't play with a bunch of bombs in his hand, and finally disabled himself by playing directly.

　William White didn't intend to engage in computers. He was just a small shrimp now, and no matter how good the stuff was, it was useless. He would definitely bring him endless troubles.

　In this era, there is another electronic product that is very profitable.

　That's right, it's an arcade. Don't talk about big games. A Pac-Man can make a lot of money. This is just a small puzzle game. It's self-evident how profitable other big games are.

　The price of 68000 is too expensive, and there is nothing to do with personal PCs, at least for a few years. The price of at least two hundred dollars a piece is absolutely terrifying.

　Arcade machines are not sensitive to hardware prices, so it’s okay to be a little more expensive. The arcade machine market in the United States is huge, with a market demand of at least one billion dollars. If it doesn’t make money, William White can go to sea.

　The most important thing is that this thing can be OEM, and footbath manufacturers will definitely flock to it. Since puzzle games can be developed, gaming games can also be developed, and fruit machines can make a fortune, so why bother to participate in personal computers.

　Of course, the game cannot be grasped at the beard and eyebrows. It must start with a simple one, so that there will not be too much research and development costs.

　William White chose three games, Pac-Man, Texas Tetris, and Armageddon.These three games all have one characteristic. What is great is the creativity, and the difficulty of production is very limited.

　If there is some food for this bowl of rice, video game console manufacturers will definitely be interested. As long as they want to use it, a lot of beautiful knives will fly over.

　The gaming industry is even more lucrative, and with this novelty toy, everything else is a dead end.

　Although it is easy to make money, this industry is quite closed. This is an industry that is very particular about inheritance. If you participate rashly, you will definitely die miserably.

　Anyway, don't worry about it, first of all, there are three small games, first to make the company famous, and then it can blossom more.

　What arcade machines emphasize is not sophistication, stability and durability are the most important.In this way, rough skin and thick flesh are a must.Players usually have a bad temper, and it's normal to tap and tap. If the machine crashes with a light tap, then people will say that your quality is not good.

　Well, we need to apply for some more patents. The foot basin people are cunning and cunning. If one is not good, they may be overtaken in a corner.

　Regarding the competitors of the foot basin, this is almost an unsolvable problem. Laomei's production capacity is too weak.Without the help of foot basin companies, let alone selling one billion dollars a year, one hundred million U.S. dollars is enough.

　The most important thing is that you may still have no money to make, and if there are some turmoil in the market, it is not impossible to lose money.

　There is no way to control the old American workers. The longer the factory is open, the more miserable the boss's life will be.The final outcome is to close the door and close down, and everyone falls apart.

　If you love the factory for your family, don’t talk to the US emperor, you will definitely be ridiculed. The factory next door costs 100 dollars a month, and they will quit.

　work overtime?

　Omg, is the boss a vampire?We need to accompany our children to go fishing. Overtime work is absolutely impossible. The boss is too barbaric.

　This is actually overkill. In the 18th century, capitalists were too barbaric. Not only did workers earn extremely meager income, but the safety of production was also very poor.

Chapter 24 IT market chaos

　The market prospect of microcomputers is bright, and the so-called leading enterprises are nothing but a joke.

　No matter how hard Apple works, the market share is only [-]%. Since you can double your sales, others will have no problem.

　The beta version of White's software has been launched, and the market response has been quite good. After another month at most, everyone will be back to the same starting line.

　There are software companies who want a piece of the pie, and these guys finally chose to give up.

　There is no other reason. This patent barrier is really terrible. The most hateful thing is the file format. If you cannot obtain authorization, you must not use other people's file formats.

　Of course you can choose to find another way, but do you have so many customers? When your software comes out, they will already occupy the market.

　When the software is bought to a certain level, the cost is negligible. If someone sells 9.9, they don’t necessarily lose money. What do you use to compete with them?

　The sudden surge in sales has excited the entire industry.No matter which computer company, it is essentially an assembly workshop.

　A large number of parts orders make IT companies excited.Now that the market is sluggish, these orders have really helped some companies tide over the difficulties.

　The survey reports of many commercial organizations show that this is not an impulsive consumption, and there are many companies with similar needs.The final market demand is very huge, and it is estimated that it may reach 150 million units next year.

　shit

　This is the thinking of most people in the industry. If you add the demand from Europe and Asia, the sales volume will be 200 million!

　Laomei is very good at this point. Their investigation agency is very professional. As long as you can pay enough fees, their investigation report is very reliable.

　For Dalmo's stubbornness, Apple has already planned to replace it.

　Of course, Morgan Stanley was very upset when clients questioned their professional level, but the fact is that it is not up to them to refute.

　Morgan Stanley's concerns are not without reason. With the competition intensifying in the second half of the year, it is doubtful whether Apple can maintain its strength.

　It is an indisputable fact that the competition will intensify in the second half of the year. God Qiao is naturally very upset. He thinks he has suffered a big loss and needs to go to William White to settle the score.

　The faces of the other executives turned black. They didn't have the courage to refuse the conditions they offered at the beginning.

　In fact, Apple took advantage of it, and Markkula even knew that the White software had already been developed, and now it was just keeping the promise at the time. God Joe ran over to make a noise, and it might be on the shelves tomorrow.

　Apple's top executives were persuading God Joe, and several guys from Damo quickly fell into a sluggish state.

　shit

　The most worthwhile investment is White Software. No wonder this product will only raise A round of financing next year.

　A valuation of 2000 million US dollars?

　Are you sure you're not joking?

　Even if only half of the computers have the software installed, the family will earn over [-] million in revenue.

　Earning 5000 million is not too much, right?

　You actually want to use 200 million to buy 10% of other people's shares. It's a good self-restraint that they didn't yell at you.

　What if there are competitors?It is impossible to sell these two software all the time!

　What do you think people recruit people for?

　Used to maintain software?

　Let's not joke, so many software engineers are obviously writing new software, the outside world just doesn't know about it.

　Bill Gates was very depressed. He couldn't figure out how this bastard William came out of there, and how he could soar into the sky.

　But this kind of depression is also very short-lived, Bill kid soon became excited, since this guy can do it, why can't I, my future achievements will definitely surpass this guy.

　It has to be said that people who fail have their own reasons, but those who succeed will not have any luck. Even this spirit of becoming more and more courageous after frustration is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

　"Boss, Master Qiao came here just now and lost his temper."

　"Haha, if you call Markkula, our software will be ready a long time ago. If I were a listed company, I wouldn't be able to hide it at all."

　"Okay, boss, I'll call him right away."

　God Joe's accusation, in William White's view, is envy, jealousy and hatred, and he probably will understand it in a short time.

　For this wayward guy, Apple executives were also very speechless. Fortunately, he didn't care about it, so he laughed and passed.

　The people at White Software knew very well that the boss liked this guy very much, and he would never argue with him over trivial matters.So he has no scruples in White Company, and others let him torment.

　Talented people are always rebellious. This is the same all over the world. The smiling tiger is the most troublesome, such as Bill Gates.

　Master Qiao is a very proud person, he doesn't disdain other people's products.Bill is different, this guy is omnipotent, if you are targeted by him, you'd better be careful.

　Almost all of his products are fraudulent and abducted, almost none of his own original products are available, and the window system is also covered with an Apple skin.

　When he first started his business, he almost went bankrupt because of this reason, but have you seen any changes in him?

　Some people say that his success is mainly due to luck, his wife has a relationship with Big Blue, and his success is just a coincidence.

　I want to say that if you are not prepared, it is useless to give you a coincidence. His success is definitely not luck.Even without Big Blue, the product would still be a success.

　"Master, the person you need is here."

　"Well, I'll go right now."

　He is now a private company, so it is no problem how he arranges his subordinates. The software company doesn't have much to do, so these people can naturally come over to help him make game consoles.

　These guys are very sure that their boss is a workaholic, so many drawings are obviously not something that can be completed in a day or two.

　The company's benefits are good, and the boss is generous enough. In the United States, it is useless to say anything. If you throw a lot of dollars at them, they will work very hard.

　These guys are not workers, so they naturally have a higher pursuit of life. The company of White Company is very special. There is a point system here. When you reach a certain number, you will be promoted and your salary will be raised. When you reach a certain number, there is also an equity incentive.These things can be accumulated, so there is no need to repeat how attractive they are.

　"Guys, three months, I'm only giving you three months, I need to see results, is there a problem?"

　"Don't worry, boss, we don't have any problems."

　"Okay, thank you for your hard work, tell the housekeeper if you need anything."

　"Okay, boss."

　The matter here is basically over, and he doesn't need to do it himself.With detailed drawings and plans, if they still can't figure it out, then these bastards should be fired.

　In a sense, they are just senior engineers and code farmers. This kind of work will be done by Asan in later generations. Their only advantage is comprehensive technology, which avoids repeated inspections.

　There is no way not to arrange these guys in Silicon Valley. After all, there are so many people with mixed eyes, and some secrets cannot be concealed at all.

Chapter 25 Hollywood Hollywood (Revised)

　Having arranged the homework of this group of guys, William White intends to continue his journey.

　In this era, there are very limited industries to choose from, and traditional industries are simply impossible. Apart from Silicon Valley, Hollywood is also a good choice.

　There are not only a few giants here, but also countless independent producers. Some companies are directly affiliated to the giants, and some adopt a cooperative distribution model. There are not many such companies, unless you have the level of Lucas , the film company has no temper.

　Apart from these, I’m afraid it’s special action movies. This market is also very large. The United States is like this. There are audiences for any type of movie. As long as your movie is good, art movies and horror movies can also make money.

　William White obviously does not have these resources. If he enters Hollywood, he must start small and slowly accumulate popularity and resources.

　No one dares to think about the Titanic as soon as they come up. You can't play this kind of big production at all, and it's impossible even if you have money.
