Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 231 Apple and Microsoft

January 1991, 1, Joseph's first day back in the Nord Kingdom.

The cabinet announced that it had just passed the "Nord Kingdom Civil Rights Protection Act". This is the first major move of the Smith government, mainly targeting some welfare programs and civil rights protection, including inheritance distribution, bank deposits and the like.

Because of Smith's new actions, according to data, Smith's cabinet received more than 60.00% of the citizens' support on this day, which has continued to increase compared with the support rate during the James cabinet period.

On January 1991, 1, Smith went to the palace to hold talks with Nord King Joseph. The content of the talks was mainly on the new state system, new policies and party system of the Nord Kingdom.

Although the Kingdom of Nord does not have a clear party at this time, it has actually been divided into the radical party and the conservative party. The former's proposal is to provide large loans, promote the local economy and increase foreign trade, and quickly increase the economic catch-up of the Principality of Nord. For Spain and Italy.

The Conservative Party believes that the Kingdom of Nord has entered a period of stable development. What he needs to do is to recuperate and slowly develop. This is the way of the king, but it is worth mentioning that... the former Prime Minister James is a typical Conservative Party representative, but under his governance, the Principality of Nord has been developing at a high speed.

The current Prime Minister Smith is a representative of the radical faction, but almost most of the cabinet officials and even all officials feel that the Principality of Nord should develop stably at this time, and being too radical will easily cause accidents.

It has to be said that it is a strange thing that the radical prime minister develops steadily while the conservative party develops rapidly. At the same time, the conservative party and the radical party also have some other meanings.Conservative parties are not only conservative about economic development but also imperial power. To be clear, conservative parties are also royalist parties, while radical parties have no intention of overthrowing imperial power, but they yearn for more freedom and more rights.

On January 1991, 1, Nord officially announced the new national policy of the Nord Kingdom. The prime minister and the cabinet were all elected by members of the House of Commons, but the House of Lords and the King had the right to supervise and recall.

The purpose of doing this is to increase some powers of the citizens of the Nord Kingdom, and at the same time make the government serve the citizens more attentively, and the supervision and removal powers in Joseph's hands are enough to guarantee his interests.

To put it simply, if Joseph, the chairman of the company, managed some company affairs before, now he just sits on the sidelines and watches instead of participating in it. Only when he is very dissatisfied will he directly dismiss the entire management, up to the executive The president goes down to the heads of various departments.

In fact, the rights have not been reduced, but the real management rights have been reduced. This is also beneficial, that is, Joseph and Princess Kate will be much more relaxed in the future.

Citizens are very satisfied with the new national policy and state system, because they can let their favorite people take the post of prime minister, but they don't do whatever they want. If the prime minister provokes the imperial power, then it is estimated that those who voted will also need to be implicated.

"The Nord military also wants to get the right to vote for the prime minister?"

"Yes, this is an application from the Ministry of Defense."

"The Ministry of Defense, when will the Ministry of Defense be able to represent the military? Rebuttal and tell Bach, I don't want a next time."

"Yes."

The departure of the confidential secretary made Joseph still angry. This was a naked temptation. If he backed down a little, then the Ministry of National Defense would definitely attack the military, and a new round of political purges was about to be born.Of course, the Ministry of National Defense has no other intentions. They just feel that they have no rights in their hands and can't bear it.

Their fundamental purpose is to become a powerful minister rather than a rebel, which is the fundamental reason why Joseph has been patient with the Ministry of Defense and the Prime Minister.

Because even if Joseph revokes them, the next term will still be like this. After all, no one wants to be an empty microphone, even if the prime minister and the minister of defense are conservative parties.

The current basic election model of the Nord Kingdom is that the citizens elect members, the members organize the citizens to elect the prime minister, and the prime minister forms the cabinet, the cabinet votes to appoint the governor, senior officials, and the mayor, and the mayor appoints the mayor who has passed the exam.

Councilors have the right to supervise officials at all levels. A small town has two councilors, and a city has a branch house. Their main responsibilities are to communicate the contradictions between the councilors below and the government, and to manage voting activities in the entire city and surrounding towns.

The most coveted thing of the cabinet is the military power. Unfortunately, the military power has always been in the hands of Joseph. It is impossible to let go of the future, because once the military power is loosened, it will not be far from the Nord constitutional monarchy, and it may even go directly to a republic. , Joseph will never take such a risk.

The formation of the party has increased the number of party members in the Kingdom of Nord to more than [-] in an instant, but most of them are members of the conservative party, and the radical party is only a few thousand people, but...

Most of the conservative parties are social workers and a small part of the elite class, while the radical parties are mostly consortium bosses and government officials. There is a huge difference in the number of the two, but the strength is not far behind.

Joseph is very happy to see such a scene. Although it is very easy for the Conservative Party to obtain the position of Prime Minister, they cannot do without the support of the radical party. After all, there are too few elites in the party.

Although the number of radical parties is small, they are eloquent. They may get a lot of votes after a few speeches. It is still unknown who will win the final victory.

Because of partisanship, Nord Royal Media Group has suddenly become popular. After all, everyone needs the support of the media, especially in this era of universal network and communication.

Joseph ignored such competition. On January 1, he came to Nord Microsoft to conduct an investigation. The main purpose was to see how MSN was progressing and how far it was from QQ in later generations.

Mail is the first project. The friend list and notes have also been completed. The online video is under development, but it is estimated that it will not take too long. The second is the space system, personalized signature, and VIP system.

"20 euros, isn't it a bit expensive?"

"How much money do you think is appropriate?"

"Two euros or three euros is the most suitable. After all, the East is a country with a large population. If you enter the East in the future, the profits from it..."

"You are the president of Microsoft Corporation. You are responsible for how to do it. I am just a suggestion."

……

"Is this World of Warcraft?"

"World of Warcraft? It's a good name. This is an idea we dug up from the United States. The game team thought it was good, so we started formal development."

"That's right, the revenue from future games will take up a huge proportion. How is the online shopping I proposed before going?"

"The website has been built, but cooperation with major retailers is still under discussion. Virtual... is it credible?"

A simple sentence made Joseph decide that the person in charge of the future website must not be appointed by him. From the bottom of his heart, he does not trust the president of virtual online shopping. How can it have a new development?
Separation. If necessary, it is time to separate Microsoft Corporation. The game creation is a separate game company, and various websites create separate website companies. Of course, Microsoft is still the core among them, but each project is operated separately. Microsoft The company cannot get involved.

"What is the most important thing in the future network? Traffic, IP, and users. I hope you can always pay attention to this."

The president of Microsoft nodded in agreement.

Joseph personally operated several games. Although it took only a few minutes, Joseph found the feeling of his previous life. Games have always been very attractive, otherwise they would not become a gold mine on the Internet.

After the Microsoft company and his party finished, Joseph did not go back, but went to Apple.

Apple Computer Company changed its name to Apple Inc. in October 1989, mainly to lay the foundation for the first-generation iPhone. In the future, Nokia will be sold as a mid-range mobile phone and the iPhone will be sold globally as a high-end mobile phone.

"iPhone is the endorsement of technology. It is a representative of trend, fashion and technology. Although the price of 900 euros is a bit high, as a technological product of the times, the price is not too high."

These are the exact words of the president of Apple, and Joseph deeply agrees, and hopes that he will succeed.

This is still the era of big mobile phones. It is hard to imagine what kind of sales storm and miracles such a relatively small mobile phone can cause, but there is a problem in front of us...

"When is it expected to be released?"

"It will probably take another three years, at least three years."

Joseph thought he would say a conservative estimate, but who would have thought that it would be at least three years, three years had passed since 1994, and even 1995 before it could be released. Joseph really couldn't wait.

"Nokia doesn't know what's going on."

This is Joseph's innermost thoughts, and it is naturally inconvenient to say it, after all, he is now in Apple.

"How are Apple Computer's sales?"

"Because of the binding of the Microsoft system and some discounts, our computer sales are very good, and the competitive pressure is very small. However, many computer companies have found Microsoft. They hope that Microsoft can open up permissions to them, and once they do that..."

Joseph did not answer the words of Apple's president, because he understood that this is a difficult multiple-choice question. Opening permissions must be very important to Microsoft's world monopoly. In comparison, Joseph may let Apple choose to compromise, after all That's a global monopoly project.

"I think Apple's own system is mature enough to ship, and competition might be a good thing."

This is just a consolation, but no one can say that Apple will not be able to defeat Microsoft in the future. Apple in the previous life has already verified this point.
