Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 475 Started to practice with Disney
"Awesome, VisiOn suddenly became a sandwich biscuit, and IBM-PC can no longer borrow the momentum of the graphical user interface." Charles Simeone said with admiration.

"Killing VisiCorp is essentially helping Lotus Software to clear the way and continue to grow. This emerging company is different from those peers with a history of developing software for multiple hardware platforms. At least from the current point of view, it only concentrates on business on the IBM-PC platform."

Louis Gerstner shook his head calmly, "In the camp of IBM-PC software suppliers, it is more beneficial for us to compete for hegemony than to dominate the situation. Therefore, the side effects of this operation are not easy to evaluate."

"In this case, we also wish VisiCorp not to be in a slump." Charles Simeone laughed.

In order to expand the router business, Shi Chongtang, who had just visited the four major nodes of ARPAnet, sat aside very low-key, chatting and laughing with the two of them.

Although Shi Chongtang has not been transferred to the US headquarters from the Asia-Pacific region for a long time, and his qualifications are still young, but no one dares to underestimate him. Gein's humble position is specifically used to describe this old man's situation.

In order to adapt to the general background of the Cold War and survive with ease in an international environment full of political, economic, and technological barriers, Tang Huan set up many companies accordingly.

This mechanism can indeed achieve flexible operations, but how each company coordinates to play the role of one plus one greater than two is very important.

In addition to the relationship between companies, the various departments within the company are not without conflicts. Just like in Fangyuan Computer Company, personal computers with continuously enhanced functions, and personal workstations that pay more attention to system stability and solve actual business needs, sometimes have conflicts. friction.

Where there are people, there is a world. Tang Huan didn't expect these subordinates to go against the objective way of working in the workplace and to help each other completely selflessly.What's more, if everyone becomes a monolith, how can he, the boss, control them?

But there is one thing, although Tang Huan doesn't mind competition among his subordinates, if it affects work efficiency, then he can't tolerate it.

Corresponding to the assistant team that Tang Huan takes with him wherever he goes, there is a permanent secretariat in San Francisco. One of its main functions is to evaluate which subordinate companies are shirking and cooperating poorly when it comes to accomplishing an overall goal.

Shi Chongtang is now holding a Shangfang sword, that is, inspecting the support of Zheru software, Fangyuan computer, and EA games for network functions.

There is no doubt that this power control mechanism, which is dormant most of the time, once it operates, strongly reflects Tang Huan's personal will. No matter who is appointed, he will not hesitate to become an imperial envoy who can transcend the normal business process of the group.

Therefore, when the two little girls, Zhuang Menghua and Cai Meier, took the mission of winning the Guinness World Records operation authorization to visit the Cupertino headquarters, Louis Gerstner did not dare to neglect at all.

"Is "Guinness Book of World Records" the most lost book in the library?" Louis Gerstner asked casually while opening the file.

"That's it." Zhuang Menghua nodded, "Currently, "Guinness Book of World Records" belongs to Guinness Superlatives Limited - Guinness Top Co., Ltd., and the next level is Guinness - Guinness, the leading wine company in the UK. Its operations in the United States are authorized to Sterling Publishing—Sterling Publishing House. I plan to win this publishing house first to increase my negotiating weight.”

Louis Gerstner nodded slightly, looked carefully at the contents of the document, and quickly understood Zhuang Menghua's train of thought.

It turns out that Sterling Publishing House, which doesn’t mind being targeted by big money owners, has a large part of its books as technical reference books, so it has taken a fancy to Zerone Press, which has the potential to become an authority in the field of IT book publishing—— Philosophy and Confucianism Publishing House.

Zheru Publishing House belongs to Zerone Education and Certified, a part of Zerone Education and Certified, a training and certification institution for Zheru, and its status in the entire group is negligible.

However, with the rise of the personal computer industry, the technical and application books of Zheru Publishing House have quickly become bestsellers, especially the articles written by well-known technical masters like Tang Huan, which are almost regarded as holy books. Here comes the covet of Stirling Press.

However, no matter how greedy it is, Stirling Press can only watch.

Gein’s Philosophical and Confucian Publishing House, which has no profit pressure at all, is not interested in any external cooperation, as long as it serves the Philosophical and Confucian training and certification institutions well.

When Zhuang Menghua expressed his intention to acquire Sterling Publishing House, the company agreed very happily, but also put forward two conditions, one is to maintain independent operation, and the other is to merge the business of Zheru Publishing House.

After some investigation, Zhuang Menghua felt that it would be a good thing to make Zheru Publishing House more professional, so she came to Louis Gerstner to discuss it.

"I have no objection." Louis Gerstner signed his name casually. The capital operation of this scale did not see him at all. It is a big case to acquire a well-known auditing company for the upcoming PeopleSoft.

Even Louis Gerstner secretly speculated that the big boss Tang Huan was letting the little sister practice and accumulate experience.

After sending away the energetic Zhuang Menghua and Cai Meier, Louis Gerstner picked up Seeq's problem investigation report and frowned again.

After thinking for a while, Louis Gerstner finally decided to report this matter to Tang Huan, because he couldn't see the possible impact after handling it.

……

In a chain store in Wellcome, Xiangjiang, Tang Huan is inspecting the implementation of information systems, especially the application effects of Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI.

Established in 1945, Wellcome is the oldest and largest supermarket chain in Xiangjiang, with hundreds of local stores.Since 1964, it has been wholly owned by Dairy Milk International, which was acquired by Landmark in the 1970s, transferred to Jardine Matheson, and eventually became a subsidiary of Qinhe.

"This is the benefit of the data transmission service. After all, Xiangjiang's installed capacity is limited, and the telephone line only transmits voice, so the income is limited." Tang Huan casually said to Ma Shimin beside him, who had been transferred to the manager of Xiangjiang Telephone.
