Chapter 31: God Joe Who Automatically Lays His Gun
White Software's earnings, as long as it is an individual, will be jealous, and the eyes of people in the industry are no longer red, because they have turned blue.
This year's economy is very bad, and everyone's life is difficult, but Apple and White Software are very annoying. These two guys not only earn enough attention, but also keep siphoning money from the market.
In the eyes of this group of people, these customers should all buy minicomputers. The so-called microcomputer is actually a game console, and its performance is almost absurd. I really don't understand why customers are so easy to deceive.
What White Software doesn't sell is software, but game cartridges. How dare you make the manual so detailed? Are you sure you're not teaching idiots how to use computers?
Larry Ellison is a standard dick counterattack. It is self-evident what his attitude towards rich kids like William White will be.
Ever since, a group of frustrated people began to bombard from a distance, no matter how vitriolic and mean, the microcomputer was blasted to pieces.
The result was very bad, William White ignored it, and they confronted God Qiao directly. Master Qiao is naturally not afraid of this guy. According to his description, traditional IT giants are equivalent to evil morons.
When meeting a guy with explosive combat power, a group of veterans are obviously no match. If the quarrel continues, several veterans may need to be admitted to the hospital.
"William, I'm helping you take the blame, you have to repay me."
"Dude, they look down on any microcomputer supplier, you are the benchmark, I'm just a lucky guy." William White was powerless to complain about God Joe's censure.
"Tch, it's not that you poached someone else's engineer, otherwise the madman wouldn't go crazy."
"I didn't mean to target him, except to take care of people who don't dig apples. My headhunting company has no specific goals. The old guy is too stingy."
"Anyway, I don't care, you owe me a favor."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you,"
William White really didn't care about this favor. When Old Joe was in trouble, he would just give him a hand. He didn't expect him to repay him, at least he wouldn't deal with himself.
Old Joe's worldview is simple and rough. In his world, all geniuses are idiots, and enemies are friends.
William White didn't want to be an enemy of the paranoid. After all, he was a person with real abilities. If he didn't do well to himself, he might suffer. It's better to be friends with such a person.
God Qiao's phone call was more about showing off than complaining. He has always regarded himself as a new leader in the industry. How could he give up such an opportunity? He would be really angry if William White stole the limelight.
The person who wanted to be angry didn't respond, and another kid who didn't know how to live or die came out to show off. Larry Ellison was simply out of anger.
William White really didn't have time to pay attention to him. Once he was cornered on the set, he asked in a daze who was Larry Ellison?
Then he said that he was just an investor and the largest shareholder, and that the CEO was responsible for the company's operation and development planning. He even said that Tom is an excellent IT practitioner and is very familiar with the specific situation. You should ask him.
Needless to say, how angry Larry Ellison would be after a group of reporters added fuel and vinegar. He didn't know about Oracle, and although he also blamed himself, claiming that he was ignorant, but the contemptuous tone was simply more angry than life.
William White's shameless pretense drove the reporters a little crazy. This guy is still used to teleporting, and he can always attract the topic to the movie. The reporter can't help it. If you ask him about the movie, his attitude is so friendly, almost answering ten questions.
The reporter also figured it out. The next time you want to have a pleasant interview, you'd better promote this movie. Otherwise, the guy from the Wall Street Journal will end up, and this guy won't get any valuable answers.
Regarding the nonsense that he said that he was just an investor, no reporter would believe it. The people from White Company confirmed that the boss is a very powerful software architect, and they are just some executors.
Some people believe that some people suspect that there are only a few core personnel at the beginning of Whitesoft, and many companies want to dig them in and continue to use it, but unfortunately, no company has succeeded.
These people are very aware of their actual value. They are actually good under William White. They are all good executors. If they are to be alone, it is estimated that all of them will go to the street.
No matter how good the benefits are, what's the use of them? I don't have the ability to earn that money. Besides, Whitesoft has a clear point system, and when certain achievements are reached, there will be corresponding equity incentives.
At first they didn't care about this so-called equity incentive. They felt that the boss was making a big fuss, and some shares were naturally good. It didn't matter if they didn't have any. The main source of income was salary and bonus.
Now they don't see it that way. White Software is obviously very valuable. This company has only been in business for a few months. According to this trend, it is not impossible for a Fortune 500 company.
The top 500 companies in this era are not so bluffing. If the revenue exceeds 100 million, there is a chance. As long as it is close to 1 billion US dollars, it is estimated that they will barely be shortlisted.
Regarding the various rumors from the outside world, they naturally didn't take it seriously. The boss had already made a plan, and it was enough to do things step by step. The company's plan was grand, but now it was really just a seedling.
For such a spoiler, the software industry is confused, and their way of making money is obviously different from theirs. Most of the current software providers provide manufacturers, and there is no such way of selling directly to customers.
For the importance of software, the proportion of the operating system is undoubtedly greater. This is the foundation of microcomputers, and they are all sold in batches.
White software obviously hates it too much, and it directly charges a set fee. Although hardware manufacturers are also beneficial, the price they need to pay is much higher than the software licensed in batches.
Outright buyout?
hehe!
Someone really asked for a quotation, and then White Software said very unkindly, no one can afford it at the moment, we are not a traditional company, any current valuation is a joke, if you are not convinced, look again in a year, I believe you all have Qualified to witness this miracle.
The software company was doing very well, and William White didn't need to worry. The CEO he found was indeed a marketing genius, and he easily accomplished the planned goal.
Things are not going well in Hollywood, and the giants here don't give him any face. Paramount proposed a $2 million buyout, but Fox directly expressed no interest.
The only company that expressed the possibility of cooperation is United Artists. The distribution fee is ridiculously high, 45% of the box office share, which almost made William White vomit blood.
Theater operators in the United States usually only have about 10% of the box office share in the first week, and then gradually increase it according to box office performance. Their operating costs are not high, and this is true for rented theaters or their own theaters.
Their land is cheap, and their taxes are relatively low, and they can make money with a share of about 10%.
As long as your movie doesn't hit the market, plus the income from selling snacks and drinks, the life of the cinema chain operators is pretty good. Although this year has been a little bit miserable, it seems that it can still hold on, and it will be over if it continues like this for another year. At least 10% of theaters will go bankrupt.
