Reborn American Tycoon

　"Stop, stop, twist again, twist my waist again and it will break."

　After hanging out in Hollywood for so long, even if she has no experience, she still has some common sense.Not to mention the young actors outside, even those who had scandals with him were envious.

　"Andy, tell me, what's the difference between this so-called GPU and our CPU?" Gordon Moore said leisurely while drinking coffee.

　"The difference? Of course there is a difference. Motorola deliberately avoided our research direction. They are not only working on 2D graphics accelerator cards, but also on 3D accelerator cards."

　"In that case, we'd better stay away from them, too."

　"Gordon, at least in the short term. Their 6900 series is actually not bad. If IBM chooses to cooperate with them, our current situation will be very embarrassing."

　"This smart kid, he still disagrees with the second supplier?"

　"The attitude is very firm. If the procurement department insists, they will not find any suppliers in the United States. I like the word this guy is pure manufacturer."

　Of course the two founders of Intel liked it. They are now very embarrassed by AMD, and the two old guys have long hated it.

　After terminating the dynamic memory business, they naturally don't need any second suppliers.AMD, as the sufferer, turned the table directly.

　To Intel's embarrassment, AMD's production management is better than theirs.Regardless of the quality or the price, AMD has an overall advantage.

　Motorola is more face-saving, their CPU is no worse than yours, and the price is similar. AMD is hateful, the performance is a little better, and the price is a little cheaper.The most outrageous thing is that this product is also called 386.

　To be honest, if Intel is now engaged in graphics accelerator cards.William White will immediately change the packaging of 6900 to 386. There is no shame in the competition. William White is afraid of who will come.

　William White is not worried about the company's affairs, he is very troubled now.This year has been an eventful year. First of all, Maozi's nuclear power plant collapsed, and the US emperor seems to have had a fight with Kazafei.

　Of course, there are many benefits. The wallets of people with foot basins have exploded. Starting from this year, they will start to buy the whole world.

　"Filson, those European buyers should withdraw, unless they find palace artifacts, they don't need to buy them."

　"Boss, I also want to say this. Those little guys are very active. We were robbed by them several times."

　"Hehe, no matter how expensive the things from the official kiln are, I will grab them back. Other things don't matter."

　"Okay, boss, there seem to be quite a few official kilns in your warehouse."

　"Are you kidding? A lot of things are in the hands of John Bull, and these guys are unwilling to sell."

　It's really hard for Felson to understand the boss's preferences. He thinks the vase is not very valuable, but the boss is really determined to get it, which is really hard to understand.

　vase?

　Such a large pair of Yuan blue and white, the current price is simply a free gift.

　Many years later, when Felson participated in an auction, he saw that a vase that was several circles smaller was sold for tens of millions of pounds, and he felt bad.

Chapter 357

　William White finished his script in his study, and although he didn't have a lot of money, he had a very comfortable life.

　There were two knocks on the door, and William White was curious as to who would disturb him at this time.

　"Come in, um, Xiaohu, what's the matter?"

　"Boss, the space shuttle is down, and our satellite program may be delayed."

　William White was a little sluggish, he seemed to have forgotten a very important historical event.

　"Challenger?"

　"Tsk, wait a minute."

　In his opinion, NASA's management is very rubbish. Even if there is no accident this time, there will be problems sooner or later.Knowing that the weather is too cold, but still forcing the launch, this is already in the category of serious dereliction of duty, and the gods cannot save it.

　"Barry, did you see the news?"

　"Yes, boss."

　"Don't worry about other things, the style of the show should be sad, and the entertainment show will stop for a while, well, three days will be fine."

　"Got it, boss."

　Such a decision may only be made by him, and other people can't do it for him.The media under William White responded quickly, and all entertainment pages were withdrawn.

　Well, there are not many people doing this in the United States, not to mention the space shuttle, even if the president dies, he should sing and dance.

　William White really knew that he couldn't do this. In just one day, more than 85% of Americans knew about this tragedy.In terms of timeliness, this is almost comparable to the news of the outbreak of World War II.

　Most importantly, the crew members who died in this accident included not only women, but also a teacher.From an emotional point of view, astronauts are basically equivalent to soldiers. Although they will be sad, they will not be too loud.

　"What is the tone of NBC's propaganda?"

　"Condolences and remembrance."

　"Didn't blame NASA?"

　"No, do we need to change?"

　"No, we have our own style."

　Seeing Murdoch's resolute attitude, it's hard for his subordinates to say anything, after all, that old guy only cares about ratings.

　In fact, Murdoch's approach is the norm in the United States, and everyone actually does it like this.

　However, this world is often like this, and there is no harm without comparison.Still, a considerable part of the audience expressed dissatisfaction.

　Well, the old guy doesn't really care, he is a businessman first, and an American businessman second.This is his belief, and others have nothing to criticize.

　Many people underestimated the impact of this incident, because of this accident, the manned space journey of the United States was interrupted for a long time. NASA has also undergone a big shakeup, and almost all the guys who have a vegetarian meal are out.

　"Felson, is there any news from Boeing?"

　"It's probably not a big problem. The current big boss is probably not in the mood to change cars."

　"Hey, all planes are unreliable now, has mine been overhauled?"

　"All overhauled, the plane in the foot basin, they should be to save maintenance costs."

　"Nonsense, they are taking the blame for Boeing. They can fully load 488 passengers at a time. Tell me, what company will save costs?"

　"That's right. With a [-]% occupancy rate, the airline will make money. It doesn't care about the price of spare parts. The manager in charge of maintenance is a bit wronged."

　"Hey, this group of guys is unreasonable. If there is no one with comparable strength to open their stomachs, it seems that the problem cannot be solved. If nothing unexpected, they are another scapegoat." Felson had nothing to say, This guy must be like that.If he doesn't die, the boss of Footbath Aviation will wipe his neck.

　"A $[-] million plane?"

　"Yes, it should be more than that. This guy's request seems to be much higher than that of the big boss."

　"Hehe, you enviable boy, if the old man orders this plane, the board of directors will definitely be turned upside down."

　"Recently, the plane has been falling down all the time. I guess he was scared. His special plane is not used very much. This time, it has been completely overhauled."

　"Hey, don't say he's worried. I'm also worried. All the company's planes are being overhauled. Damn, space shuttles are unreliable, so don't expect civilian planes to be much better."

　Airplane management in later generations is very strict, especially after 911/[-], I can't wait to strip you naked before letting you board the plane.

　this era?

　Smoking is allowed on a plane, can you believe it?

　In fact, after 2000, many airlines gradually banned smoking.Older planes have ashtrays on the armrests.

　(Absolutely not blowing, the author has experienced it personally, but it is not allowed to run around, you can smoke in the last few rows, the exhaust vents on both sides are obviously a little black. Haha, it proves that it is not my buddy who has no public morality.)

　As for now, if you dare to secretly hide a lighter, you may be taught a lesson.

　Laomei obviously got off to a bad start this year. The launch at the beginning of the new year was supposed to show its strength, but it turned out to be a mess.

　As for Mao Zi, people are quite disapproving, their accidents are simply innumerable.

　accident?

　Thinking of Maozi's accident, William White couldn't help but stand on end.It seems that this year, Maozi's nuclear power plant went berserk, which is much more serious than the space shuttle accident.

　William White's aircraft order still makes Boeing very happy.A 747-200 fell in the foot basin, which really made many customers doubt.

　Others have doubts, but William White does not.In his memory, it seems that only one 747 has dropped, and the quality is still very reliable.

　After all, four engines are more reliable than two.In more extreme cases, as long as one engine is still working, the plane can fly back.

　"William, are you going to give the boss eye drops?" Little Bush said jokingly.

　"Tch, it's just a coincidence for anyone to bother to pay attention to him. To be honest, I never thought it was a maintenance problem with the plane in the foot basin."

　"You are not so timid, are you?"

　"Nonsense, it's the same model as my plane, you say I'm worried or not. My yacht hasn't been built yet, otherwise, my buddy will go everywhere by boat."

　Little Bush was speechless, he could tell that William White was really scared.For a standard cowboy, a bit of a laugh is a must.

　As for the quality problem that William White said, he is indeed powerless to refute.A very simple common sense is that if you can determine the cause of the accident so quickly, can it be counted if you can pinch it?

　"Hehe, the boy's reasoning is correct, and it's true that the maintenance is not done well. They don't have the guts to hide it."

　"Is that so?" Little Bush expressed doubts about his father's words.

　"You have to know that there is nothing wrong with hidden dangers. At most, you will lose money. If it is deliberately concealed, it will be of another nature. Not only may you be imprisoned, but you may also go bankrupt directly. Who would be so stupid?"

　What Old Bush said is indeed very reasonable.Because the laws of the United States are like this, if it is indeed an accident, there is nothing to say and it needs to be fixed.If it was deliberately concealed, then congratulations, you will definitely be punished to doubt your life.

　Because of such laws, American companies are usually happy to admit mistakes.Because mistakes can be forgiven.

Chapter 358 Billionaire Bill Gates (Revised)

　Microsoft went public, and as an important investor, William White's shares have also been diluted, and now only about 4%.

　Bill Gates, who owns 45% of the shares, easily controls the situation.For the current situation, William White is naturally unhappy, he hopes to own about 10% of the shares.

　However, student Bill is very cunning, it is impossible to reduce his shareholding ratio.He himself knew very well that if he wanted to acquire William White's office software, he had to exchange his own stock.

　After Jobs, Silicon Valley still continues the myth of wealth.Bill Gates is their benchmark.As for that Jobs, sorry, the market habitually forgets the losers.

　Besides, the people who eat melons just know that the guy who was kicked out is still a real billionaire.

　For this billionaire label, Bill Gates disagrees.He and Jobs came from different backgrounds. Although he was very satisfied with his current achievements, he couldn't satisfy himself.

　The truth is there, William White, that bastard, costs 2.5 million for a plane, and his achievements are really not enough.

　Bill Gates' goal has never been Jobs, William White is the direction he is chasing.Even if it is not comparable to his assets, it must surpass his software company.

　As for the overall transcendence, he has no such idea.The Forbes list is there, and William White's assets are more than ten times that of the Wal-Mart family.

　In fact, since the day this list was born, there has been no suspense in ranking first. People who eat melons believe that within a certain period of time, this guy's position cannot be shaken at all.

　As for the second position, there are indeed many things to watch, and the Wal-Mart family is only temporarily ahead.

　For all kinds of complaints, William White didn't take it seriously, he didn't really think of himself as the richest man in the world.He's not Jewish, and he doesn't have the ability to hide money.If there are any richest people in the world, it should be those guys holding the scrolls.

　In other words, the current silly big wood is the richest man in the world.Don't be surprised, the Marcos couple who escaped from Manila, these two have earned more than 100 billion US dollars.Don't forget, that place is poor enough.

　The so-called "Forbes" list is actually the sunshine wealth list.One characteristic of this list is that its data sources are all public information.Otherwise, that guy named Marcos will definitely stabilize the Wal-Mart family.

　As for those consortiums and clans, it is even more unclear.

　You haven't heard of the decline of the Rockefeller family, have you?

　So what about money?

　What the hell is this family that is as famous as the Morgan family playing?You know, Morgan is still a pure consortium, and Rockefeller is still a political family.

　Do not believe?

　Hehe, the easing of the relationship between the US emperor and the big rabbit is all due to the help of this person.Not only is he well-fed in the United States, but he is also number one around the world.

　It's only been ten years, and the family is actually silent?In the end, I couldn't even keep my own building.

　Haha, I can only say, and only the foot basin people believe it.So they bought assets worth $15 billion at a price close to $10 billion.Because they believe that the name is commemorative.

　The commemorative significance is really there. For the people in Jiaopan, since they bought this building, they have been suffering from bad luck.In more extreme cases, tens of thousands of people ended their lives on the rooftops.

　As you can imagine, high-rise buildings at that time should have to queue up.If you don't have any status, you will have to queue for several days.

　"Bill, congratulations on becoming a billionaire."

　"What's there to congratulate, why, no one congratulates you?"

　"It was when I was born, so it still lacks some fun."

　Well, someone has committed a bad taste again, and intends to tease this relatively new billionaire.

　"Come on, William, I'm still a little proud of being congratulated by others, but it's you, I always think it's a kind of ridicule."

　"You don't have to be so mean? Bill, when will the capital increase and share expansion? This time, I will not agree to reduce the shareholding again."

　"I know that the company is not short of funds for the time being, and your shareholding ratio will not decrease any more. But, are you not afraid of the Ministry of Justice coming to pester you again?"

　"What are you afraid of? These shares are all in charitable funds, and I don't need that board seat."
