Chapter 79 You're done
The first phase of the cloud system of the Department of Homeland Security was completed, and the Assistant Secretary of Science and Technology issued an invitation. CEOs of contractors such as IBM, SUN, HP, Oracle, Microsoft, Cisco gathered in Washington, DC, and Sikong Ling was also invited. On the one hand, this invitation was to celebrate the achievements, and on the other hand, there were other important matters to discuss. The focus was of course the latter, otherwise it would be impossible for IT tycoons to gather.
In fact, there are very few people who have truly come from these high-tech companies. IBM CEO Shamuel Peng Mingsheng is an MBA from Stanford, and SUN CEO Mike Rennie is a "talent" in history majoring in Johns Hopkins. HP CEO Fiolina was not born in the IT era and obtained a degree in art and philosophy at Stanford. Later, he not only had real estate experience, but also had a deep interest in politics. He ran for the California Senate as a Republican candidate. Cisco CEO Chambers is also an MBA, but fortunately, he has an engineer background.
Bill Gates is a powerful hacker. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not do anything good after becoming the IT boss, which was even more excessive than a serious businessman. The current CEO Ballmer is a legendary mathematical genius, but obviously this guy's interest is all in business. Before going to Stanford University to study for MBA, he worked as a product assistant at Procter & Gamble for two years. As early as 1980, Ballmer went to Microsoft to be a business manager, and began the era of Microsoft's commercialization, which was also the beginning of Microsoft's process of staying away from hacker culture. Of course, the real boss of Microsoft is still Gates, who is now with Si.
Kong Zero is about to become popular because Curvature browser pulled out its teeth and snatched 30% of its share from IE. The default search engine is BING, and the optional search engine is Google, which is not giving Microsoft a face. What makes Gates the most infuriating and puzzled is that the Ministry of Justice and the EU only check that Microsoft does not allow it to bind IE with WINDOWS, but does not clear the BING with Curvature browser. Sikong Zero wanted to tell him that your big IE has become a trash, and you are embarrassed to blame the Ministry of Justice for taking care of you in monopoly? Don’t be shameless?
The only friend present was Oracle CEO Ellison. After all, they went to South Korea to watch the World Cup together, and they had a lot of friendship. Although Oracle's commercialization was actually very serious. When his database came out, it was very garbage. However, Ellison had a commercial vision and had great potential in targeting relational databases. When developing customers, he often fooled others. He said that he was already developing the functions that he had not had. He even said that he had developed it. He went back and quickly told the engineers about it. The database is like an operating system, especially large commercial and financial institutions. He is not short of money, but the data is very important. Basically, he used Oracle database and could not get off the pirate ship. These contempts can only be at ease. Sikong Ling smiled at Ellison and sat down next to Eyer.
As soon as Ai Ye sat down, Sikong Ling turned his head and said, "Your Shilinx Building is the fortress, leave me a floor."
Sikong Ling nodded with a smile.
As soon as Ellison said this, the CEOs here all said that they would also do the same. Sikong Ling laughed: "Are you going to buy a group? It's great, IT companies are our most popular customers."
Peng Mingsheng and Gates smiled at each other and looked very proud. IBM-PC integrates Intel, Microsoft, a large number of motherboards, memory, monitors, graphics cards and other manufacturers, which is indeed a model for professional manufacturing in the industrial chain to defeat a factory's large manufacturing.
Ellison: "Hey, Apple is still here, the development momentum is pretty good, iPods are very popular, some projects they are working on, hehe, you will be surprised."
Sikong Ling also said: "Samuel, what are you proud of? IBM-PC has defeated Apple computers, but your money has been made by Windows and Intel. Your PC department has accumulated losses of hundreds of millions in recent years. Let's sell it as soon as possible."
Peng Mingsheng was accidentally pinched and hurt his feet, his old face turned red and he was a little embarrassed.
Ellison laughed: "That's right, Ms. Fiorina is here. She dares to buy even Combat. No more IBM-PCs are available. You can make up for it!"
Peng Mingsheng really leaned over and asked Fiorina: "Dear, are you interested?"
Master Fiorina smiled and said, "Of course, the price is appropriate, there is nothing to negotiate, it's really a sale?"
Unexpectedly, they really started discussing mergers and acquisitions.
Sikong Ling and Ellison looked at each other.
Sikong Ling scratched his head: "I usually use ThinkPad 50% of my time, and it's a pity to sell it, alas..."
The master of the teacher offered Peng Mingsheng a very disappointing price, and he turned to Sikong Ling: "Young man, it's a pity that you can buy it, continue to learn GE, enter various industries, you see, you have even built a factory for your mobile phone display!"
Sikong Ling: "Uh... I want to learn from me and Samsung, and integrate the industrial chain. Now I have ARM and display screens. Who gives me flash memory, who gives me a mobile phone factory? This is what I want. I want to come with the computer... Uh, unless..." He looked at Gates: "Bill, unless you can give me a special Windows license so that I can make any level of changes to Windows! Then I will buy IBM-PC to do it well. By the way, I really have some ideas. I need to make a sexy laptop, and the system and hardware are in my hands to make it easy."
Oh, the boy really wants to enter the PC manufacturing industry. Gates laughed in his heart. After entering the industrial chain dominated by my big Microsoft, hehe, it depends on my big Microsoft's thoughts. He couldn't help but agree insidiously: "Yes, what changes? Oh, I understand, you want to tie the curvature browser! That's not possible!"
The boy shook his head: "It's not so narrow-minded. I mainly want a sandbox mechanism or something to improve security. Look, I'm considering strengthening the computer client security for Bank of California. Now MacOSX and Windows are not safe enough. If you want to give such authorization, I can guarantee that I will bring your IE with you when the system is initialized and let the user choose."
This makes sense, Gates nodded, really considering this "any level of change". This is something that Windows has never done before. Should we attract a young man to the game?
IBM-PC is the king, and it is obvious that it has the best share to sell it to HP or other second-rate manufacturers, but it is very interested in selling it to young Wang Peng Mingsheng, hoping that he will create another miracle and revive IBM-PC. He tried his best to influence Gates and persuaded him to agree to this weird "change of any level."
Gates pondered for a moment and said, "This can be considered, but there must be a clause that states that we cannot make changes that are harmful to Microsoft's interests. This is up to us to judge."
Sikong Ling: "This is not possible. At least a third party needs to arbitrate. Everyone here is a big shot. It just so happens that they will set up an arbitration committee or something. If they encounter disputes, they will directly hand them over to you to resolve them. It is very efficient. Of course, Ms. Fiorina cannot come, and her colleagues in the PC manufacturing industry cannot join this committee."
The boy is really creative in everything he does. Is he going to set up an IT industry association? As a result, this arbitration institution has really evolved into a discussion about whether it is necessary to establish an IT industry association. If a case like today is arbitrated by an industry association, then everyone will save a lot of lawyer fees. If Gates, Sikong Ling, and a few bigwigs here, they will have a great influence. Those present can also be named as the founder!
The operation of the association can refer to the International Tribunal of the Hague, which has no coercive force on member states, but if both parties are willing to submit the judgment to the International Tribunal, they must accept the conclusion of the court.
Seeing that everyone was discussing it in full swing, the young man raised his hand to surrender: "Everyone, please guarantee Bill and I will entrust this arbitration, speed! Just a few of them are the arbitration committee members in their personal capacity. If you don't have any salary, just let me ask if you want to help. It's simple and finalized on the spot. The documents will be sent to your case within three days. Don't make it big. When will we decide on this matter if it big?"
Everyone is willing to "help" and can arbitrate Gates and Sikong Ling. Who is unhappy? This also shows that Sikong Ling is actually very sincere in transforming Windows and does have any ideas, but the operating system is not a prosperous industry. The only mainstream desktops are Mac and Win.
The Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security is serious. Thank you for your support, the Cloud Center has been successfully launched. The launch of the Center will unveil a new era of U.S. homeland security...
Just when everyone was drowsy, the minister finally stopped. He changed to a technical official from the National Security Agency NSA under the Ministry of National Defense. The first sentence he said was to refresh his mind and said that the following conversation must be kept strictly confidential according to federal law and belongs to the highest confidentiality.
