Chapter 88 (1/2)
During the Gulf War, the one stop plan was blocked because Dell did not agree with it.
John Chambers told Henry about this. When RB received the news, Henry was very unhappy and said to John Chambers, ”since Dell company is not making money and is hypocritical, let's change to a computer company!”
”Yes Said John chambers.
Later, John Chambers went to HP, Dec, Compaq and other computer companies, but after hearing about the one stop plan, only HP was interested in it. What HP is considering is that although the profit is 20%, the benefit is also very obvious. It can not only deliver a large number of goods, support HP workers, but also expand its influence and popularity. In fact, it is not a loss at all!
Let 20% of the profit, when the right is a brand investment!!!
So soon HP joined the one stop program.
Before long, Cisco, HP and Noah Ark held a press conference and announced: ”Cisco, HP and Noah Ark will implement the one stop plan to support the development of Internet cafes in the United States. The so-called one stop plan means that our three companies jointly provide one-stop service, providing modems, switches, routers, network access, computers and servers for Internet cafe entrepreneurs, and will make a profit of 20%!! ”
The reporter asked: ”what conditions do Internet cafes need to join the one stop program?”
John Chambers said with a smile: ”we will make an Internet cafe management desktop software, and Internet cafes are obliged to install the software. We must promote our products or the products of some strategic partners...”
The reporter nodded to understand, immediately wrote in his notebook: ”Cisco layout of Internet cafes, aspire to high...”
After the press conference, John Chambers called Henry to inform him: ”Chairman, the press conference of one stop plan is very successful!”
”Very good!” Henry said with a faint smile, ”based on Internet cafes, we can grab many users who have not connected to the Internet, but the computer penetration rate in the United States is high, and the development of Internet cafes in the first two years in the United States is OK. As a result, the one stop plan will come to an end in 1993 at most! ”
”Well!” John Chambers nodded with approval.
Henry thought that when Clinton came to power in 1992, the Internet would develop at a faster speed. At that time, every household has access to the Internet, Internet cafes may be doomed! There is no need for Cisco to continue its one stop program in the United States. However, this plan can be implemented in Asia... Such as China, South Korea and other places!
Clinton is a little angry now!
Last time, Henry went to Ted Lynch's charity party and spent money at the auction, which was obviously a signal... Clinton has already felt that Henry seems to have intended to support Ted Lynch in running for president of the United States! With this in mind, Clinton was in a hurry. So the day before Henry was ready to go to RB, Clinton went to California secretly and asked his assistant to call Henry, saying that he was invited to dinner!
Henry put on airs and said something, then told assistant Clinton that he was going to RB, and he would personally apologize and invite Clinton to dinner when he had time!
The assistant hung up and told Clinton what Henry had said. Clinton didn't invite Henry. He was more anxious! With the development of the Internet, Henry's influence is growing day by day. Once he leans to Ted Lynch, he will be at a disadvantage in the process of running for President
”How to please Henry and get his help and support?” Clinton frowned.
At this time, Henry, who is far away from Rb, is browsing the information collected by employees, including RB's famous real estate companies, high-tech companies, Sony, sharp, Hitachi, Toshiba, Panasonic, etc., as well as game companies. With the collapse of Rb stock market, the stock prices of these companies are greatly affected, especially the real estate, almost to the brink of collapse!
Henry is holding a red pen, looking at it and making a tick at the same time. All the companies that he has made a tick on will be listed as acquisition targets!
It can be said that a decision of life and death!
