Schools, enterprises and various research institutions have urgent needs for networking, and the emergence of galay 1.0 network cards just solves their needs. Orders for galay1.0 are endless and unexpected!
Although other local area network technologies have appeared, they have not been made into network cards, and it is very difficult to promote them.
After iby1.0 network card, the sales volume increased greatly. Because buying a network card alone costs $100, many schools choose computers with network cards from ibm, hp, and dec companies when purchasing new computers.
As a giant in the personal computer market, Apple did not have a network card, which led to the loss of many users for a while.
The rest of the PC makers have contacted Galaxy Networks, hoping to get the goods directly from the factory, which can range from $200 to $250, depending on the size of their companies.
Apple has fallen into a big crisis. With iby1.0 network card, Apple's personal computer does not support it, resulting in another sharp decline in sales.
Apple headquarters, conference room.
Thomas Rockefeller has been very irritable in the past two years. Apple is in his hands. Its performance is declining every day, and it is losing money every year. This time it is rich. Apple's human brain does not support galay 1.0 network cards, which actually led to the emergence of Apple's computers. unsalable! There are even users requesting returns!
The current Apple CEO Vincent Gay said to him: "Mr. Rockefeller, now we have two solutions! First, modify the operating system and develop a personal computer that can support galay 1.0 network cards; second, let the Galaxy Network The company develops a network card that can support Apple computers!"
Thomas Rockefeller nodded, then asked, "Which way do you think is better?"
"Mr. Rockefeller, use the two methods together. Apple has sold a large portion of the PC market, and Galaxy Networks should not let this profit go." Vincent Guy paused. For a moment, he said: "It's just that developing network cards for Apple computers alone will cost Galaxy Networks extra R&D funds and time. Therefore, they have always hoped that Apple will be compatible with galay 1.0 network cards. At present, Ethernet is gradually becoming a local area network standard. .I think Apple should follow the trend and choose to cooperate with Galaxy Networks!"
Thomas Rockefeller nodded helplessly, "Well, then do as you said!" Thomas felt that he was a failure at this time. As an excellent son of the Rockefeller family, he was no match for a self-made Chinese. Apple left He can't...
Thomas Rockefeller was a little discouraged, but he didn't give up.
He thought about it for a long time and felt that Apple should diversify and develop. Personal computers were suppressed by IBM, so other products developed under the Apple brand would still be supported by many people.
At this time, Thomas put forward his long-prepared plan: "Vincent, Apple's products are too single, and we must find new profit points. Last year, Sunbird sold game consoles and game cartridges at Christmas to make money. A lot of money. I think Apple can develop a personal computer, and naturally can develop a game console!”
Vincent Guy was uncertain, but since the major shareholder decided so, so be it.
So, he nodded and said, "Well, this is also a good way. With Apple's research and development capabilities, it will definitely be able to develop a game machine with more powerful performance than the Atari 2600!"
Thomas Rockefeller got the recognition of the other party, and he was a little excited, as if the game console developed by Apple would definitely sell well, and countless orders came in. In addition, he thought that the Flamingo company founded by Li Zetian was developing a game console, and at that time, Apple's game console could snipe it. The glory of the Rockefeller family made him have a strong competitive spirit, and he must defeat his opponent, and his opponent was not ibm, but Li Zetian.
In Li Zetian's hands, Apple became a legend; in his hands, it became a joke!
Thomas Rockefeller didn't allow this to continue, but unfortunately, for now, it's backfired and Apple is getting more and more decaying...
Being poor is changing!
Thomas Rockefeller thought of diversification, and gaming is just one of them.
Then, he added: "With the increasing popularity of personal computers and Microsoft's ord word processing software and eel spreadsheets, Wang's word processors are becoming increasingly obsolete, and printers have become the first choice for corporate offices! So, I think, Apple If the company is involved in the printer market, it will definitely make a lot of money!"
Vincent Guy nodded: "It is true that Mr. Rockefeller said that the printer market is very profitable! However, there are old printer giants such as HP, Epson, Xerox, etc., and there is a lot of competition pressure."
"How do you know that Apple's printers can't make money without trying it?" Thomas Rockefeller frowned. At this moment, Thomas Rockefeller was in a panic and wanted to try everything.
Printers are indeed very profitable, but not everyone can make this money.
When Li Zetian was in charge of Apple, he didn't dare to get involved in printers easily, because he didn't understand printers. In addition, the competition in the printer market was fierce, and the old printer giants were not so easy to deal with. The technology and talent pool could be a few blocks away from Apple. Instead of using Apple's resources to develop printers, it's better to do something else. Apple developed printers in the past life, but it didn't make much money. After Jobs returned, he immediately cut it off.
After the meeting, Thomas Rockefeller was smug.
Vincent Guy immediately called Galaxy Network to express his intention to cooperate. Of course, Galaxy Networks agreed to develop an Apple computer version of the galay network card for Apple.
If you have money, you will not make money!
In addition, Vincent Gay also said that Apple's new computer will definitely support the galay1.0 network card.
Galaxy Networks Inc.
Zhang Yan laughed and said: "At the beginning, we tried to cooperate with Apple several times, but the other party refused to accept it. Now it's better, sales have declined, and I took the initiative to ask for it again. I really don't cry without seeing the coffin!"
Tian Shuai smiled slightly and said, "Okay, no matter what, Apple has agreed to cooperate with us."
Zhang Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Apple is getting worse and worse in Thomas' hands! In my opinion, Apple will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
Tian Shuai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Maybe..."
Zhang Yan said excitedly: "If Apple is going to go bankrupt, do you think mr·li will buy it back?"
Hearing this, Tian Shuai thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "It should be possible. Apple has many excellent employees, and they are a valuable asset!"
…
…
A few days later, Apple held a press conference announcing that it was developing a home console.
At the press conference, Thomas Rockefeller said to the camera with a smile on his face: "Apple will focus on developing powerful Apple home game consoles, and third-party game software development companies are welcome to cooperate with Apple!"
The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Although Apple has declined, it is still the leader in the industry.
After the news that Apple was going to develop a game console came out, it caused a shock in the industry, and even Li Zetian was surprised.
"Apple thinks that it's not dying fast enough. I established Flamingo, and Apple dares to enter the game industry!!!" Li Zetian shook his head.
Flamingo and Li Zetian have yet to make any statement.
Warner Bros. jumped out first, and the CEO of the company said with disdain in an interview with a media reporter: "Sunbird's position in the game industry cannot be shaken! If Apple enters the game console field, its fate will definitely be very bad. Miserable! Any opponent of Sunbird will face unprecedented defeat!"
Not long after, the gossip spread that Warner Bros. issued an ultimatum to third-party game developers. If third-party game developers dared to develop games for other companies' game consoles, their games would not be allowed to land on the Atari 2600 platform.
Thomas Rockefeller waited for more than a week, thinking that there would be many third-party game developers who would come to Apple to seek cooperation. As a result, there were only a few game companies, and the strength was not very good.
At this time, Thomas Rockefeller almost had a feeling of dying before he was born. He didn't expect the water in the game industry to be so deep...
However, when he looked back, it seemed that third-party game developers were threatened by Warner Bros., and not many companies dared to develop games for Flamingo. So thinking of this, Thomas felt a lot better.
"Mr. Rockefeller, Flamingo develops its own games. According to the current situation, Apple can only develop its own games..." Vincent Gay said with a hint of helplessness.
Thomas nodded and said: "Well, then develop the game yourself! However, we still have to work hard to get some third-party game developers!"
"Okay, Mr. Rockefeller!" Vincent Guy nodded.
Li Zetian naturally knew what was going on with Apple, and couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, Atari 2600 dominates the market and forms a monopoly. Apple knows it's great now, it's not that easy to enter the game console market..."
