Unlike the entanglement between Joe God and William White, Bill Gates is confident; the contract with the Big Blue is like a potent needle, directly turning Bill upside down.
The PC based on Intel 8080 is evidently more reliable than Apple's second generation. If sales meet expectations, Microsoft's advantage is significant.
Is the advantage truly great?
When contemplating White Software, Bill Gates is blocked so severely that they are fully dominant. If they also intervene in the operating system, it would be a grave oversight.
The negotiations between White Software and Motorola are no small matter. The IT industry is keenly curious. A software company excelling in unfamiliar industries sparks intrigue.
Motorola's choice is well understood. Their primary focus is on communications, and intervening in the semiconductor industry is a misinterpretation.
Since playing independently isn't working out, it's better to choose cooperation. Anyway, William White is immensely wealthy; that's almost a consensus in the IT industry.
Upon learning the latest news, Bill Gates couldn't help but wonder. If William White is open to cooperation, could they potentially join forces in the future?
While the idea seems promising, putting it into practice has its challenges. The main issue is that Bill's company isn't large enough; it might get included if things don't go well.
Bill's competitive spirit kicks in, leaving him with little time. What he doesn't know is that, for the right price, William White wouldn't truly refuse.
Qiao Dashen's departure sounds an alarm for everyone. It's a stark reminder that once people are gone, the money can't be spent.
The super-luxury yacht might be impressive, but it's a one-time thing. His wife and Xiao Xianrou display all kinds of love.
Alas, it's genuinely disappointing.
For a good life, it's crucial not to overexert oneself. Lately, it's been too demanding, and that's not a healthy trend.
He doesn't need a drastic change; he already exudes charisma. Just don't overdo it; some activities beneficial to physical and mental health would be wise.
Tonight's appointment leaves him torn. Sharon Stone's aesthetics are on point. Whenever he dreams of that, he thinks of the movie called "Instinct."
An ice cone appears at a critical moment, which is genuinely painful. Even though he is confident he won't encounter such a situation, it feels off.
The origin of the Miss Beauty Pageant doesn't help her acting career. Hollywood is stringent on actresses, and beauty pageant winners are often labeled as mere eye candy. Even if given two lines of dialogue, it doesn't guarantee acceptance. This outright female competition concept is unbelievable.
Her agent was taken aback, but she never expected the project she had planned to abandon would be revived.
This is how brokers operate. You showcase your own value, and they will flatter you, accommodating any requirements.
With the agent's guidance, she finally realized her mistake. Luckily, she didn't spend the night there; otherwise, it would have become a Hollywood joke.
She doesn't mind what happened with William White. There are many talented men, but someone as young as him is extremely rare.
After some careful dressing, she looks significantly better than during the audition. The champions are in such a miserable state; the meaning of this game is perplexing.
"You look charming today," William White doesn't hold back on his praise.
"Thank you."
The girl still seems a bit reserved, but under William White's deliberate care, the conversation quickly becomes enjoyable. After all, it appears they have different ages, and it's not so awkward.
It's not a formal relationship; there's no need for men and women of this age to hold back.
A delightful confrontation is inevitable. There are too many things that can't be described. To avoid affecting the reader's emotions, please imagine a storyline of about 20,000 words.
"This little rascal," seeing that her surroundings are empty, the younger sister can't help but feel annoyed. The room still carries a youthful vibe, which makes her blush.
William White is quite cautious. The dark side of Ice Cone's heart is too significant. He didn't plan to do anything more than a friendly game. It would be disastrous if something happened.
One has to admit that the newer vehicle provides a great driving experience. William White didn't exceed the speed limit. Although this car isn't his, there might still be a chance to use it again, so it's better not to ruin it. This thing isn't easy to repair.
Negotiations with Motorola entered a practical stage. William White's conditions weren't stringent, and he didn't insist on comprehensive holdings.
Concerning the company's management power, he didn't intend to make any concessions. Shares could only be 30%, but the voting power should be 51%—a condition that is truly remarkable.
Motorola faces an existential threat. How could they entrust the company's operations to others? People who can't contend with a bunch of bombs are genuinely perplexing.
The introduction of mobile phones happened long ago, but they've always felt like they're squeezing toothpaste. Apple and Nokia are the products of their absent-mindedness, having lost out on digital mobile phones.
Creating a smartphone for a long time, they always felt like they were treating consumers like fools, and their brand advantages still barely keep them afloat.
Playing poorly with a good hand, Motorola is the number one player globally. William White is pragmatic and won't hand over the company to them.
As a collaborator of Footman Semiconductor, Ricoh doesn't have many ideas. They simply aim to compensate for their shortcomings, and there's genuinely no need to dispute the company's management rights.
The three parties have already drafted the agreement, and the rest is the work of the underlings. At this point, the overall situation has been decided.
William White only seeks to maximize benefits. All R&D efforts are directed at squeezing the potential of 6800. Concerning the next stage of research and development, he shifted focus to low power consumption.
The future of the PC side belongs to Intel; Motorola might have a chance, but certainly not now.
If the original six days didn't leave, time would still be more than enough. Now that everything is late, even if Apple adopts 6800, the biggest winner is always the blue giant.
Motorola agreed to cooperate primarily based on this consideration. Although the checkers plan is secret, those IT bosses have their ways of learning. At least in terms of CPU competition, 8080 has already won a big victory.
Concerning this collaboration, the Big Blue is still quite apprehensive. They aren't sure if White Software will also enter the PC field.
This scenario diverges from Apple. Others exhibit better production control. If they genuinely assemble a group of people to compete aggressively, it's undoubtedly a situation they'd prefer to avoid.
Intel is feeling even more discomfort. They are acutely aware that their 8080 is not as superior as the other's 6800.
