Chapter 718 A Good Friend Or A Bad Friend?
Bob Dylan had a tough attitude.
There is a hint of threat in every word.
Especially at this time point, it comes with the momentum of the alliance just reached by the IT giants in Silicon Valley.
at the same time.
IBM feels that there is no possibility of the group falling out with them in the future.
because.
Without the high-performance servers provided by IBM, the group's future development in cloud computing would inevitably suffer a devastating blow.
Even if the Future Group has a flower factory as a backup.
but.
Huachang's servers cannot be compared with their I~BM products in terms of production capacity, product performance, and solutions.
Without IBM's servers, the Group's uncomputing will be hit hard in the future.
North American cloud computing players such as Microsoft, Guge, and Amazon will definitely seize the opportunity to seize the market and suppress the future group's market space.
so.
After a series of analysis and scrutiny.
That’s why Bob Dylan traveled to China this time.
One thing they rely on is that Future Group cannot do without their IBM products.
Although the order the Future Group gave to the flower factory did have little impact on IBM.
But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh.
Let Future Group terminate its cooperation with the flower factory. Firstly, it can suppress the flower factory's server business, and secondly, it can get more orders, killing two birds with one stone!
only.
IBM miscalculated.
They never calculated that Lu Yi could not and would never be frightened by such a threat.
Just like IBM feels that the Future Group cannot do without their IBM products.
Lu Yi also predicted that IBM would not be able to let go of this huge cake worth 40 to 50 billion yuan.
To know.
The original plan of Future Group was to invest 500 billion yuan in this area within 10 years.
According to the current exchange rate, it is nearly 75 billion meters of gold.
Now IBM has less than 10 billion meters of gold in its mouth, and there are still 30 to 40 billion meters of gold left in its mouth. Can IBM executives be willing to fly away like a cooked duck?
Second, IBM does not have competitors.
Huachang is not yet strong enough to compete with IBM, but North American giants such as Intel, HP, and Dell are qualified.
When Future Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with IBM, Intel became very jealous after learning about it.
If IBM doesn't cooperate, you can still look to giants like Intel, HP, and Dell.
Take ten thousand steps back.
Even if giants such as Intel, Huipu, and Dell refuse, they can still find flower factories.
At worst, he might end up lighting up the server business.
The difficulty is to be a little more difficult, and the strategic contraction will be a little narrower.
Anyway, I am confident that I will make a comeback in the future.
Moreover.
If I were to offer a cake worth 40 to 50 billion meters to the mouths of North American giants such as Intel, HP, and Dell, how could they really refuse?
Regardless of the fact that giants such as Intel, Huipu, and Dell are all members of the OpenStack Alliance, they have taken up the banner of jointly fighting against the Future Group. "
But in the face of huge interests, in the capital market, there are always only eternal interests, and there are no eternal enemies or friends.
so.
Regarding this matter, Lu Yi didn't panic at all, and there was no fluctuation at all.
"hehe."
"Mr. Bob, I think your company really worries too much. That's right.
"I just like to make more friends."
"A great man of our country once said, "If you have many friends, you will have few enemies."
"We are friends with IBM, we are friends with Yahu, we are also friends with Gu Ge and Microsoft, and the flower factory is also our friend.
"I really don't understand why you North Americans like to turn your friends into your enemies and rivals?"
0…Please give me flowers…‥
"Does IBM want to be surrounded by enemies and no friends?"
Lu Yi's words made Bob Dylan feel extremely incredible.
Because according to their North American thinking habits, they firmly believe in the values of a clear distinction between enemies and friends, and a zero-sum game.
Once competition occurs, there must be friends and foes, and a winner must be determined.
How is it possible to make friends with enemies?
Even if it is a second-level enemy, it is still an enemy!
Besides!
How can I have any friends in the business world?
It’s all business!
...0
"Of course it's okay to make friends. We at IBM also like to make friends of all kinds."
"However, before making friends, we must find out whether the other person is a good friend or a bad friend.
"If you make friends accidentally and get stabbed in the back by a so-called friend, it will be tragic."
Bob Dylan said calmly.
obviously.
What he meant was whether Future Group wanted to be a good friend of IBM or a bad friend.
Lu Yi looked directly at Bob Dylan and asked bluntly: "So, does Mr. Bob regard our Future Group as a good friend or a bad friend?"
As soon as these words came out.
Bob Dylan suddenly had a cold sweat running down his back.
How should he answer this?
Could it be said that Future Group is a bad friend of IBM?
Is the revolutionary class friendship between the two sides still necessary?
Although his tone just now was very tough, it seemed that if the Future Group did not terminate its cooperation with the flower factory, the cooperation between the two parties would be terminated.
But both Bob Dylan and Lu Yi know that this is nothing more than words, a verbal tactic to exert pressure.
Can IBM really sever cooperation with Future Group?
IBM really wants to do this.
Companies like Intel, Huipu, and Dell can laugh out loud in their dreams. .
