Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"That's right! Kabokodon does have a large stockpile of obsolete chips"

"Just like I said just now, because of my past achievements, I was bound by my hands and feet. Moving towards the AT specification is, in my opinion, the most suitable path for IBM's future development. Unlike your ROG, which is a start-up brand, IBM Even if you enjoy the bonus of the brand bonus, you must do things that conform to the brand culture, just like the name of IBM, International Business Machines, Advanced Business Machines!"

"Our consumers come for this name, and we can't let them down. Otherwise, the IBM brand will be smashed. Going to AT is an inevitable choice. It's different from you putting the machine equipped with the 80286 chip on the shelf. We have to let it to the market."

"In this way, the previous backlog of inventory is a bit of a headache. Since the PC business department is basically a department that operates independently of IBM's headquarters, plus my previous series of actions hahaha, IBM will definitely not help me take over This part of the inventory components. In the market, there are no companies that can digest these inventories. At present, there is no one!"

"I'm curious, how much inventory do you have on your side now?!"

Carter had a smile on his face and a look of interest on his face.

Last year, the sales volume exceeded 120 million units, and the annual sales volume of the IBM PC division was 40 billion US dollars. Not to mention anything else, in terms of chip consumption, this sales volume is more than twice that of Carter's big purchase contract!
As a result, they actually still have stock? !

Is this the story behind America's third-largest computer maker today? !
"There are about 8086 8088, [-] and other chips in stock. I took a look around and found that maybe only you can help me digest these chips that have become my burden. You ROG last year Sold [-] units, right?"

"11, with sales of [-] million, which is incomparable to yours! Moreover, ROG can have this sales volume, and I sincerely say that I have to thank you IBM for this. It is you, it should be said that it is Estridge Sir, you have enlarged this market! Only by letting computers enter the home, can a descendant like me have such a comfortable environment.”

In the face of Estridge, as Gates said, the only IBM employee who can confide in him.Whether it's the entanglement in the past, or the feeling after this short time together, Carter is willing to try to believe him!
For ROG sales data, Carter did not hide. The bulk of ROG sales, after all, come from XT machines, and IBM is about to stop, it should be said that it is already turning to AT machines!

As long as ROG does not attack the AT specification for the time being, then there is a situation where there is no direct competition between the two parties.
"As a company that has been established for less than a year, it is already very impressive to have achieved this result at the beginning! As long as you don't make the mistakes of Adam Osborne, the future is very worth looking forward to! And this is one of the reasons why I value ROG: maybe Your scientific research ability is not displayed for the time being, hahaha, please don’t blame me for speaking directly, you are also running 80286, your design is too messy, it looks very rough!"

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay! Only friends can tell the truth. Indeed, Douglas has always been a traditional small agricultural town in the past, with underdeveloped industries. Talents such as engineers and electronic engineers basically rely on me waving money to poach corners everywhere. But Just like you, top talents are often not so easy to find."

Carter smiled bitterly. When he discovered that the two sides had different design specifications and ideas in the new field, Carter bought an IBM machine and went to the Yale School of Applied Engineering to find "off-site assistance."

In the mouths of a kind of professors, ROG's new motherboard design is also evaluated as relying on the defense
Carter would not blame his engineers, after all, the level of these people is really limited!This is an objective fact!I can't expect that with an annual salary of 2, I can recruit a big cow like Estridge to take charge of my scientific research team.
You get what you pay for, this principle has never changed!
Secondly, the research and development time given by myself is also very limited. Moreover, ROG's background and IBM are far behind.Objectively speaking, within half a year, the 80286 chip can really run, no matter how efficient it is, at least not burn the motherboard.
This is already very good!
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. At least, in terms of XT specifications, most electronic engineers are already proficient. When IBM AT becomes popular, just like XT, it won't take long to find enough talents. As far as the current situation is concerned, with GCA as the producer and the entrusted production model, relatively speaking, except for a slight reduction in ROG's own assets, no one should be your opponent in terms of production costs. !"

"In particular, I found out that your prison management should be done by professionals, right? Those workers in prison uniforms lined up like robots to enter the factory building. It's not like I haven't visited the prison before. That kind of orderly feeling , often only in some well-known prisons.”

"GCA, including TCA's prison management system, was developed by a person with 16 years of experience as a warden. In this area, I have introduced some professionals before."

Carter nodded reservedly.With the historical CCA trio of Tom Beasley and Horton joining .emmm, it should be a duo now!

Poor real estate businessman Glanz with only money in his pocket was naturally kicked out of the prison group's cake pan by Carter.However, based on the two guiding ideologies of "multiple friends, multiple paths" and "making more friends, making fewer enemies", Carter did not completely kick Grantz out of the "prison cake circle".

DOG Construction Engineering contributed 2000 million US dollars, Grants contributed 500 million US dollars, and the two parties jointly registered a joint venture construction company in Tennessee.The main business of this company is also obvious: repairing prisons!
The TCA in Texas is still using a large number of rented motels to detain illegal immigrants!Moreover, as the Latin American debt crisis continues to ferment, the number of illegal immigrants and potential illegal immigrants on the Texas border has not decreased because of the massive arrests in Houston, but has increased!
Whether it is the current needs or the future needs, there must be a lot of prisons in Texas.With Carter, who can communicate with the Immigration Bureau, including the Department of Justice, and Tom Beasley, the former chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party, in the iron republic of Texas, in addition to TCA, it can provide the company with a large number of In addition to the orders of the government, there are also many orders for the construction of public prisons!

What's more, this is just the main business.
When is the construction industry the most profitable?Of course it is to undertake public construction projects!

It's hard to say what the future will be, but the company can enjoy a lot of dividends in Tennessee while Tom Beasley's influence has not faded
For Glantz, although there are regrets, he is also satisfied!
