Chapter 207 Public Opinion Offensive

"Resist the tyranny of big companies and diversify the computer system!"

"We don't kidnap computing power, and don't pay for computing resources we don't need!"

"Open ibm's computer research program to ensure consumers' right to know!"

Joey dragged his body full of fatigue. When he returned to the ibm headquarters, he saw a group of people raising signs to protest. Needless to ask, these were all bewitched by Leonards and his wife.

When he drove by, he thought so in his heart. But soon, you will know who the couple is.

Joey looked at the briefcase in his co-pilot position and smiled with satisfaction.

In the propaganda war, ibm will not lose to a straw team like Leonards. It was just hoped that it could be resolved peacefully before, but it did not mean that ibm would be afraid of them.

"Parker!" As soon as he returned to his office, Joey shouted loudly. Assistant Parker pushed open the small door from the room next to his office and walked in with a folder in his hand.

"Sir, your requirements have been arranged. We have contacted major TV networks and have prepared for the next round of publicity teams."

"Very good, how about the Chinese people?" Joey sat in the office chair with a comfortable face and asked with a closed eyes.

"The Chinese are a little confused about their position. Their asking price is so high that it makes people suspect that they are crazy about poverty." Parker shrugged helplessly: "The Chinese actually called out a price of 100 million US dollars."

"Okay, then don't care about him." Joey waved his hand without any worries and said confidently: "When they come to me!"

"Yes, when they came to find me!" Hu Wenhai chuckled, looking at Liu Xin who was still unable to turn.

The little girl is probably aware of the darkness of the mall now, but she is still standing on the side of the Leonards and his wife. Although it is impossible to go out for information, her attitude towards Hu Wenhai is a bit awkward.

Simply put, it is probably the pride of a girl.

"Hmph, your asking price is $100 million. Do you know how much it costs? Do you know how the bad guys in the feature film die?"

"You're so dying?"

"I'm so greedy!" 6 Xin hummed angrily and turned her head away.

Fortunately, I have a little bit of affection for Hu Wenhai, so why didn’t he see him as such a "bad" person in the past?

Although he "thinks" in his heart and said so, 6 Xin probably inherited 6 Yinglong's character of keeping his word. He did not give up on his job.

No matter what opinions I have about Hu Wenhai, since I have agreed to be his assistant, I will continue to do it.

"Okay, you go and call and let Kelkevin Advertising Company make the next plan." Hu Wenhai touched his nose and said with a lot of laughter.

...

Just as Americans distrust the tradition of government, attacks on large corporations are also part of traditional American culture.

The greed, insidious and evil nature of large companies seems to have become a fact that Americans do not say on the surface but know in their hearts. It is also true that when someone stands up to fight against large companies, people will subconsciously repay the weak.

Sympathy for the weak seems to be the social instinct of human beings.

"Dear viewers, I am now at the School of Technology at Stanford University in California. Mr. Lauren, Dean of the School of Technology, is being interviewed by us."

"Director Lauren, what do you think about some recent arguments about Professor Leonard and his wife?"

The reporter almost stuffed the microphone into his mouth. Lauren subconsciously hid back for a while, and then said, "There is one thing I have to correct. The Leonards and his wife may soon be no longer professors at Stanford University. Given some of the irresponsible remarks they spread, Stanford University School of Technology believes that they are not suitable to continue teaching at the school in this situation."

In a hurry, he was obviously surprised, and took back the microphone and asked, "So, Mr. Lauren, do you disagree with their statement?"

"This is not my personal opinion," Lauren added. "The appointment and removal process of the Leonards is under review by the school board. Once passed, it will at least indicate that it is a relatively comprehensive consensus within the Stanford School of Technology."

"Then can you tell me why such harsh measures were taken against the Leonards? Do this politicize academic issues?"

"I have to make a statement. This is not an academic issue." Lauren said with a serious face. "This involves the Cisco company founded by the Leonards, who gained economic benefits by spreading irresponsible remarks in society. Cisco's total profit in the past six months was even less than $100,000, which is very evident. The fact is that the market has abandoned the long-outdated server-to-client system. That's the era of mainframe and giant machines. The Leonards, for their own benefit, prevented social progress by spreading rumors. This shameless, greedy and blackmailing method is unacceptable to Stanford University."

"But do this, won't Stanford University be suspicious of interfering in freedom of speech?"

"No, this is precisely the embodiment of freedom of speech. They have the freedom to express irresponsible speech. Stanford University is a private university. Naturally, it also has the right to make its own choices."

"So, are the Leonards actually jealous of big companies because of their lack of ability?"

"It can be said that in fact, their reputation in school is not very good. Basically, people who know them say that this is a 'smelling' couple. They are greedy, sinister, petty, and lies. In school, there is no student who will even like them..."

"Shitty! Despicable! Shameless! This is purely a rumor!"

Leonard, who had already put on makeup, stood in front of the TV, watching Lauren's talk on the TV with anger. In his narrative, the Leonards and his wife became complete villains. Because their business was unsuccessful, they simply became sinister liars who spread rumors and anti-socialism and used outdated technology to cheat.

However, it has to be said that Lauren's remarks hit Leonard and his wife a big blow.

The title of professor at Stanford University is not just a job, but a recognition from society. The professor's identity is a natural protective color, allowing their remarks to be easily believed and most ordinary people in society have a good impression of professors. Being a "professor" in the United States is not an easy task, and what the Leonards lost is not just a teaching job.

What the Leonards most cannot bear is Lauren's allegations of their character on TV.

The film crew of Kyle Kevin Advertising Company looked at Leonard who was furious. At the critical moment, Hu Wenhai stood up.

"Professor Leonard, I think whether a person can be called a ‘professor’ is not something that can be deprived of. There is a saying in China that the people’s eyes are sharp! Which one is right or wrong? Ordinary people have a standard in their hearts. But if you are in a bad mood today, will I postpone the video? "

"No!"

Leonard looked righteous and sat down again, calmly suppressing his anger in his tone: "The video continues, I want ibm and Lauren to know. This difficulty cannot be a blow to me!"

"Don't force it." Hu Wenhai patted his shoulder: "Cisco's future path is all on your shoulders, Professor Leonard."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Leonard's eyes were firm.

"Ok, Cisco Advertising Second Volume, 3, 2, 1, absp; Americans have been very happy recently. First, it was a unique documentary "A Chinese Day". When many Americans re-recognized the mysterious country of the East. It turned out that there were so many delicious foods in Chinese food, it turned out that Chinese people's lives were like this. It turned out that the products produced by Chinese state-owned enterprises were really cheap and affordable!

Chinese products. They don't seem to be as unreliable as they think.

However, the documentary "A Day for the Chinese" has limited influence after all, and topics about China may arouse people's curiosity, but it is difficult to become the mainstream of American public attention.

Soon another public opinion focus was born. A small company called Cisco actually advertised on TV, blatantly accusing large companies in the computer industry of having business conspiracies!

This can be considered as pointing to the American G-point.

Whether Americans who have any knowledge of the computer industry or not, they all immediately transformed into opera-watching parties. Throughout history, from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad, from ancient times to the present, they have always watched the excitement without fear of big things. The only thing that the onlookers is that the fight is not exciting enough.

Especially the scene of small companies standing up to fight against large companies. It makes Americans watch it endlessly. Does Don Quixote's personal hero overturn capital hegemony in fighting against large companies, or will it once again verify the greed and shamelessness of capital? This real drama is much better than all American dramas.

But no one noticed that Cisco, the "American company" at the forefront, has the real control of the "American company" in the hands of a Chinese.

"Drive, we have limited time." Hu Wenhai was still in the back seat, and the arrogant 6 Xin was still beside him. Although he was not convinced by him for a hundred times, the little girl still insisted on fulfilling her assistant responsibilities.

The car drove smoothly on the road, but fortunately the car has a good sound insulation effect. There is almost no sound of motivation in the car.

Not long after, Hu Wenhai's regular breathing sound came from the rear seat. 6 Xin looked at Hu Wenhai, whose brows were frowned in the dream, and couldn't help but sigh, tilted his head and helped him to his legs.

Chapter 208 Anti-IBM Alliance Leader

"The server-to-client model has long been abandoned, and the current era belongs to PBSP; "Yes, the Leonards are completely whimsical. The cost of mainframes and servers will not only not be cheaper than PCs, but will be more expensive. The flexible deployment advantages of PCs are unmatched by servers no matter what."

"In fact, on the contrary, it will be cheaper to use PC. If the performance of PC is lagging behind, we can replace new devices without any concern. But if you deploy a mainframe, its purchase price may reach millions of dollars. Maybe in four or five years, the performance of an ordinary PC will catch up with this mainframe. Will you throw this mainframe away at that time?"

"The Leonards' argument is obviously ulterior motive, and it is probably a hype to promote their router equipment. To be honest, I feel that even refuting this argument of the couple is a waste. The market will make the right choice, but in fact the market abandons the mainframe and chooses pbsp; "The complex technology of mainframes will bring high maintenance costs and poor damage resistance. The mainframes are not adaptable, and it is difficult to face the requirements of functions of commercial markets with diverse needs."

...

Seattle's iconic Space Needle slowly followed Leonard's sight from the car window, as if he could never escape from the shadow of the tower.

Leonard turned off the radio on the car with a pale face. He swallowed, and seemed to have become less confident.

"Maybe we are really wrong, the server-to-client model is not really suitable for the market..."

"Mr. Leonard, I think your conclusion is too fast." Hu Wenhai sat in the back seat. As if nothing had happened, he was also secretly shocked by ibm's ability to mobilize.

In the publicity war, with the support of Kelkevin Advertising Company alone, it is obvious that it cannot compete with ibm in any case. Perhaps Kelkevin has a lot of media resources, but there are very few resources in the computer industry.

The only voice that Cisco can have is the Leonards and his wife.

In this case, people at the level of industry predecessors, well-known scholars in the industry, and chief engineers of large companies are constantly coming forward to criticize the server-to-client model.

Americans are not stupid either. On the contrary, Americans are the leaders in the computer industry, and of course there are many geniuses and talents doing various jobs.

The proposal of the client-to-server system may have caught ibm off guard at first. But soon, in the analysis of these industry elites, they found almost as many vulnerabilities as fishing net bags.

Through ibm's powerful public relations capabilities, the overwhelming wave of criticism completely drowns out the voices of the Leonards.

Cisco's server-to-client system seems to be unable to maintain it. After all, the Leonards and his wife were just two professors and lecturers at Stanford University before, and they had enough voice to ordinary people. However, in the face of doubts from the entire industry, their influence is not enough.

The car stopped in front of an inconspicuous office building. The company sign on the roof had five letters written on it. The parking lot in front of the building was sparse, and it seemed that it was not a busy company.

"It's here, let's go." Hu Wenhai sorted out his outfit and nodded to Leonard.

It seems that this is not a company that is very good at "business". After entering the office building, there is not even a reception desk. There is only a security guard with a baton on his waist swaying in the open hall.

"Let's look for Mr. Simon Cree, where is he?" Hu Wenhai stopped the security guard and asked politely.

"Mr. Simon? He is in the laboratory on the second floor, just go up the stairs here." The security guard looked up and down Hu Wenhai, and then he saw Leonard behind him and then he showed the way with great pleasure.

Hu Wenhai and Leonard went upstairs and found the laboratory without much effort - in fact, this is easy to find. Because the entire second floor is a laboratory.

The entire floor was opened, with only columns standing up, and the other end could be seen from one end of the floor without any barriers.

Oh, I can't say that either.

Because although there are no walls, there are many things that are thicker than walls on this floor.

A dense net cable, a forest-like iron cabinet, an experimenter who travels around, and the buzzing sound of air flowing everywhere.

That is the sound of the air conditioner constantly blowing cold air in and then taking away the air heated by the chip.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"
