Reborn American Tycoon

　Facing the inquiry from the investment bank, William White was very speechless and could only refuse with a wry smile. He planned to burn the money first, otherwise the financing would be useless and he could not deposit it in the bank.

　Investment banks are also very depressed, Hollywood financing is not uncommon, and producers are busy with this job.People are looking for funds everywhere, and this guy's money has nowhere to go.

　Hollywood's big productions are very strange, and the giants can't afford it. Many of them are foreign funds, and the capital contribution of the giants may only be [-]%.Of course everyone is happy when they make money, but they are unlucky if they hit the street.

　Hollywood's mechanism is still very good, and the proportion of theater operators' commission is very low, which is unique in the world.

　The celestial dynasty of the later generations is more powerful, basically half and half.In fact, theater chain operators have nothing to do. The tax ratio is quite satisfactory. Movie theaters are generally located in shopping malls, and the rent is very outrageous. If the movies are not very reliable, theater chain operators will still lose money.

　The only advantage is that there are many people. As long as your movie is good, any box office record is just a cloud, and it will be broken anyway.

　These are things for the future, not at this time.Except for a few big cities, other places are open-air cinemas.

　They also have this kind of thing. They call it a drive-in theater. It’s actually a ridiculous thing. It’s just a screen in an open-air parking lot.It's not mainly about watching movies, these are all for the convenience of young couples.

　I have to say that the old beauty of this era is really messy enough.I don't know how I figured it out. I hope the sound of the movie is loud enough, otherwise it will be quite lively.

　William White returned to Silicon Valley, his micro-database has been initially completed, although there are still some flaws, but he is very satisfied.

　He decided to educate Larry Ellison, don't mess with me again, wait for my database to appear, and see where your face is put.

　"Speed ​​up the test, notify Apple and other companies, come here if you are interested, I will give you another month at most."

　"Boss, don't worry, we will definitely finish it."

　"Okay, very good, two more months' salary next month, keep working hard."

　For Laomei, everything is fake, and the beautiful knife is their favorite thing.

Chapter 40

　Knowing that William White is back, Old Joe will naturally come to play the autumn wind. White Software is so rich that there is even a French chef in the company.

　"Damn, your microcomputer database is ready?" Qiao Dashen looked in disbelief.

　"Unstable, it will take another month." William White said with a wink and a smile.

　"Damn it, I should have bought you in the first place."

　"Haha, old Joe, you know, I'm not short of money."

　"Damn local tyrant."

　William White could only smile wryly, how could he be a local tyrant with his own money?

　Master Qiao began to fiddle with the software, and the introduction of a database undoubtedly expanded the application scope of the microcomputer again.

　"Old Joe, do you have any suggestions? Criticize me, I don't mind."

　"Damn, it's really arrogant enough, Oracle's engineers have this level?" Qiao Dashen's face was tangled.

　"No, don't go poaching people anymore, that old man is mentally abnormal, don't provoke that lunatic."

　Old Qiao obviously didn't intend to stay with him forever.In fact, he is very clear that this is a question of conception, and software compilation has never been a difficult task.

　White Software was about to launch a new product, and Old Joe couldn't sit still anymore. He had to discuss it with other high-level executives.This is no small matter.

　"What? Are you sure?" Markkula also had a confused expression, the database is not as simple as a table.

　"It's not as good as a minicomputer, but it depends on what you are shooting for. The financial system is definitely not good, and the small and medium-sized enterprises are absolutely fine. They are only version 1.0." Although Qiao Dashen didn't finish, Markkula understood.

　The microcomputer database is not widely used, and it may be more of a gesture.William White's motivation is very clear, which is to establish his own position in the industry.

　For Apple, they also need to get rid of the game console company title.

　The giants of the industry seem to disdain microcomputers, but they are actually preparing to join the battle group. They are just waiting for the right opportunity.

　For a company at the level of Big Blue, it is not easy to develop a new product.It will take two years if all goes well.

　These two years are an opportunity for Apple. If the advantage cannot be established, the company will be like this. If the advantage can be established, then everything can be said.

　Today's CPUs have come a long way.Both Intel and Motorola have released new CPUs.These are obviously prepared for microcomputers, and their performance is absolutely impressive.

　Apple's second-generation machine is not as good as the minicomputer, and there is a big gap, after all, the price is there.The gap for the next generation is much closer, and their Lisa project is still very good.

　Aren't the bosses looking down on microcomputers, buddies will give you a blow.

　What's wrong with the minicomputer? You're garbage. If you have the ability, you can compete with the mainframe, or compete with the supercomputer.

　When microcomputers have database support, the living space of minicomputers is naturally squeezed.I can't believe these bastards are still calm.

　There are no secrets in Silicon Valley. The White microcomputer database has reached the test state. There are signs that they will release the first test version in at most two months.

　Oracle was the one who couldn't sit still first. The old guy had a hard time recently.Want to bombard William White, people say they don't know the company, don't know him, and claim to be just a newcomer, thinking they are ignorant.

　No one will believe his nonsense, but no one will refute it.Larry Ellison himself had no way to refute it.You can't say, buddy is so famous, how can you not know me?

　William White is bad in this place, and he specially sprinkles salt on other people's wounds.

　Regarding the other party's accusation of microcomputers, he also believes that it is indeed not possible now, but he is optimistic about the future development.

　You say that his software is not good, and he readily admits that if it wasn't for the customers rushing to buy it, he would have developed the next generation long ago.

　In fact, the speed of the hardware can't keep up with their development. William White said that the company's research and development focus is on the 32-bit system, and the current product is indeed a product of compromise.

　We have the software, but now the horsepower of the hardware is not enough, and the small horse-drawn cart is very inappropriate. You actually want our small horse-drawn airplane?The concubine really can't do it!

　It's the purpose of this guy to be so angry that people don't pay for his life. This forced pretending is simply a peerless pretending 13.

　The new company does have so many products, you have been messing around for so many years, and you still have the face to criticize me?You'd better work harder, bro, you haven't exerted your strength yet.

　It is not uncommon to tell the truth, but it is indeed difficult to tell the whole truth.Those who can understand will naturally understand, and the people who eat melons will definitely understand it wrong.

　They will definitely think that William White is so humble, to be so low-key.That oracle bone inscription really doesn't know what is good or bad.

　The same words are interpreted completely differently by insiders and outsiders.This way of pointing and scolding is definitely more exciting than the one in the textbook.

　You know that people are mocking you, and the entire IT world knows it, but do you dare to refute it?

　Never dare, it will make yourself look stupid.

　Regarding this venomous tongue, the IT industry chose to shut up. There is really no need to stand out. This is much more powerful than the Silicon Valley madman. Don't be scolded by him for internal injuries.

　Shut up is shut up, the problem still needs to be solved, the 1.0 version may not be able to solve the problem, the next version may not necessarily. Everyone can see the progress of the CPU, and it is an indisputable fact that the gap is narrowing.

　Although the price of high-end CPU is expensive, there is not much quantity, and manufacturers do not like this kind of thing, no matter how expensive they are, they will not make money.

　The semiconductor industry is fundamentally a capital-intensive industry, and the greater the investment, the greater the output. If you don't have much output, it's not profitable to produce anything.

　For Lao Mei, controlling production costs is simply a joke, and they will definitely control the higher the price.It seems that only Asians are good at this thing, and any country is better than Laomei.

　Although I don't know how this so-called database is, as long as it is not too rubbish, it will definitely be valued by many people.

　The current White Software is definitely not an unknown person, and it is inevitable for the industry to pay attention to it.

　The 1.0 version may not be so good. The scary thing is this trend. People have already pointed out the direction. How to choose depends on personal choice.

　It's not good news for Larry Ellison. Just now he published the theory that microcomputers are useless, he jumped out and slapped him in the face. It goes without saying how resentful the old guy is.

　Of course he can continue spraying, and then people continue to ignore him, it would be too shameful, he really didn't have the courage to try again.

　In the final analysis, everything depends on the product, and relying on the old to sell the old is just a laughingstock.

　White office suits are undoubtedly popular, and it's useless for you to talk about other things.You said that microcomputers are useless, but now people tell you that you can use databases.

　Now it is not just Whitesoft, all kinds of software suitable for microcomputers are beginning to appear. This is an era when a hundred flowers are blooming. If you continue to talk nonsense, it will soon become synonymous with backward enterprises.

Chapter 41 is to make you unhappy

　The so-called internal product launch event still attracted many companies. In desperation, the location of the launch event had to be changed to a hotel. The current White Software is not that big, and there is no meeting room for dozens of people.Facing customers with hundreds of people, it is really helpless.

　The software is indeed rudimentary, but this is not a problem with White's software. Your hardware foundation is really poor, and many functions will only appear in version 2.0.

　Even so, computer manufacturers have no objection, they are more delighted.Each is developing a new computer, and since they know the minimum requirements for the software, they can certainly cobble together a new computer.

　They don't care if it can barely run on an Apple II, they care more about the price.You know, software for large databases is very expensive.The ones on minicomputers are also not cheap. If the price is too expensive, it will be boring. People might as well grit their teeth and buy minicomputers. After all, the performance is different.

　The price announced by William White is very gratifying. Although it is said that subsequent versions will increase in price, this version is only $299.

　Well, how much can you go up?

　It is estimated that in the future it will be run for less than US$[-]. This is professional software. No company has ever sold it so cheaply. It seems that several established companies will be unhappy.

　Although they are not as good as you, they have what you have, and they also have things that you didn't expect.

　No company doubts their design ability anymore. This press conference not only announced this version, but also revealed the plan for the next version.The 1.1 version number is already strong enough, the meaning of this number is very clear, it is just a minor change.It is estimated that the 2.0 version will kill the database of the minicomputer in seconds, so you should ask for more blessings.

　It stands to reason that there is no need to reveal the secrets in the next version, these things are just stuff on paper.Take it out now, it's really a bit of a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

　The main reason is that there are too many customers, and the original things are really hard to sell.Most importantly, William White is purely embarrassing others.

　Today's meeting place is quite chaotic, many guys are just mixed in, such as Bill Gates who will be in a daze in the corner.

　The group of guys in the audience really have different feelings, anyway, quite a few people are very upset.This software company is so disruptive that it is impossible for the giants to turn a blind eye. They have already made it clear that they are going for the minicomputer. If you refuse to fight again, you will probably die miserably.

　At the subsequent reception, many people did not attend, and William White didn't care. It is estimated that they were not in the mood to drink.

　In fact, he has become an acquisition target for many companies.Because I personally know that the valuation of this company will only get higher and higher. If it cannot be acquired now, it will not be able to afford it in the future.

　Now no one doubted William White's computer ability. He was typing on the keyboard too fast, and there was nothing skillful about it.

　"William, can you guarantee the speed of research and development?" Master Qiao said so, but he was very sure in his heart.

　"Old Joe, I can actually go faster, the hardware is really not powerful."

　"Great? What's that word?"

　"Ha, don't you think it's very vivid? This is an ancient Chinese sentence. I just translated it directly. Think about it, whether it is powerful or not, haha!"

　"Ghosts can understand what it means." Qiao Dashen looked disgusted.

　"Haha, that's because you don't understand their civilization. When their feudal dynasty was at its peak, we were still drinking blood in a certain cave."

　"Well, well, they are very mysterious indeed."

　William White started the flickering mode, God knows if Master Qiao can find a powerful source.

　"Old Joe, when you become the focus of the world, believe me, it doesn't matter if you create a few words, they will definitely be included in the Oxford dictionary." William White smiled badly.

　"Well, I'm looking forward to this day very much." Qiao Dashen looked disgusted with anticipation.

　"Haha, you will succeed, let's work hard together." William White patted Joe on the shoulder and said, "Let's celebrate in advance, shall we have a drink?"

　"good idea!"

　Ha ha!Two guys who laughed wantonly made a group of people confused.

　They are happy, and some people are naturally upset.This world is always like this, some people don't look at their own problems, they always think about other people's problems.

　Of course, not everyone is like this, some people have learned from the success of others, such as Bill Gates.

　He quickly adjusted his mentality and saw a bright road.It is useless to rely on compiler authorization alone. Like William White, the target customers must be locked in end users.As long as you reach a certain number of users, you can make a fortune selling anything.

　The number of end users seems to be very large now, and the number may be even larger in the future. They must not be separated from the large force, so they will definitely be marginalized.

　William White is in a good mood recently. He has successfully got rid of financial troubles. Whether it is a film company or a software company, every minute is helping him make profits.

　There is one more movie this year, I guess the bastards in Hollywood should be crazy, with these two as a base, the future will be much better.

　In fact, he doesn't know, he is going crazy now, it's not that there is no such thing as a small gain, but it's really not such an exaggeration.Seeing the box office data reported by his subordinates every day, there is no giant who doesn't scold his mother.

　In contrast, they are a bunch of idiots, what big productions, what Oscars.

　All were rubbed on the ground, and the crude movies they made were creating new records every day.

　What made them speechless was not only that, the box office in Europe was also good, especially the group of John Bulls, who actually said it was a kind of art.What British style conquered Hollywood.

　I bah!

　Only one of his actors belongs to your family, why is it British style?How empty are you going to be?

　Dare to talk about art, how can you interpret so many things?

　How can a ridiculous film become an art film, and it can be elevated to this level?

　Well, the movie did endorse minorities, and it directly blackened the US imperial government enough, although there are a few good people.But, the movie is really meant to please the black buddies.

　John Bull didn't think so. They believed that the director was an artist, and he deserved to be a descendant of the British aristocracy.

　The movie exposes the darkness of American imperialism through laughter and cursing.This kind of artistic expression can be called another Chaplin, this movie should be nominated for Oscar.

　Faced with this evaluation, William White fainted.He doesn't have the face to run for the election, this group of guys is so ridiculous, buddies are shameless, although it is a bit shameless, but there is absolutely no bottom line!

　Well, my brother has been an immigrant for several generations, and you can still treat me as a descendant of an aristocrat, how much I am loved by my brother!

Chapter 42 Take Back the Family Business

　It's true that people love it. Fortunately, the director said that Forrest Gump is indeed very inspirational. It is not only a story of a dick's counterattack, but also condensed a piece of history.
