Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 504 Cooperating with the world's eight major firms
When Tang Huan carefully planned the layout of his IT application in the consumer market, the progress in the commercial field was also remarkable. The computer information management system department of Zheru Company, including the ERP system, had been separated and became A wholly owned subsidiary called PeopleSoft, the main IT services.

This is not the point, the key point is that PeopleSoft has won over a world-class accounting firm - Arthur Young & Company, namely Arthur Young Accounting Firm.

The current pattern in this field is not the world's four major accounting firms that have reached the final stage in time and space, but the eight major accounting firms.

These include: Arthur Andersen, Arthur Young, Wyatt Yung, Ernst & Whinney, Deloitte, Touche Ross Ross LLP, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The reason why those cold mainframes and minicomputers from IBM, HP, DEC and other companies can exert high performance in the business processing links of various enterprise users is not only the efforts of the manufacturers' own service departments, but also the cooperation with these accounting firms. Not unrelated.

For example, Big Blue has close contacts with Arthur Andersen, the largest company at this time, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The main business of these accounting firms is to provide auditing, tax, transaction, consulting and other services to various enterprises, and what PeopleSoft needs is the consulting services.

PeopleSoft has incorporated several small firms to further supplement its strength in the professional field, but it is far less than the assistance brought by the cooperation with Arthur Young Accounting Firm.

Previously, PeopleSoft's business was mainly selling its own products - various information management systems, among which the most powerful and complex one was ERP.

Now, PeopleSoft hopes to take it to the next level, provide high-end IT solutions, and even be the first to lobby companies to outsource IT services to themselves.

Louis Gerstner, who performed well when he was working for McKinsey Consulting Company and American Express, has made great contributions to PeopleSoft's progress, and Tang Huan couldn't help but express his praise.

"What about Seeq? If it continues to drag on, Gordon Campbell will probably wake up." Louis Gerstner reminded Tang Huan of this incident.

"How long it can last counts." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "The personal computer market is developing very fast, and in half a year, it is estimated that IBM-PC/AT will be fully distributed in the market, Gordon Campbell, etc. The value of IBM-PC compatible chips developed by people is bound to drop sharply. Even if they can find a way to produce and sell them, it will take at least half a year. Market opportunities are lost again and again, and the IBM-PC compatible chips that it may cause The spring tide basically disappears into nothingness."

"It is estimated that by then, Seeq will split on a larger scale." Louis Gerstner shook his head.

"People's hearts are scattered, and it's useless to force them to stay." Tang Huan didn't take it seriously. Even if the "Intel Gang" in Seeq collectively rebelled, the EEPROM technology has already been digested, and it's the same with or without them.

The two discussed along the way, and soon arrived at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, where there was a reception for senior executives of Arthur Young Accounting Firm.

Large accounting firms in Europe and the United States generally have a long history.

Take Arthur Young CPAs as an example. It was founded by American Arthur Young in Chicago in 1906; & Co. - Allied with Bird Patterson.

By 1979, its European branch merged with several larger local firms to become a member firm of Arthur Young International.

In the late 1980s in the original time and space, Ernst Whitney merged with Arthur Young to form Ernst & Young, one of the Big Four accounting firms - Ernst & Young.

Before the US Securities and Exchange Commission discovered the conflict of interest between the accounting firm's audit services and consulting services, consulting services were a valuable business for both Arthur Yang and PeopleSoft.

The difference between the two is that Arthur Yang is stronger in the professional field, while PeopleSoft is stronger in the IT field.

The reason why it provides consulting services is that its ultimate goal is to sell self-developed IT products such as information management systems and general business modules similar to various JAVA-based middleware in the original time and space.

What Tang Huan emphasized at the reception is that PeopleSoft's consulting services are not aimed at grabbing business from accounting firms, but mainly to expand large corporate customers and actively adopt their own IT solutions.

To put it more bluntly, if PeopleSoft wants to grab business, it also grabs business from companies such as IBM, HP, and DEC.

……

After Tang Huan got into the car reeking of alcohol, the secretary told him that Lin Qingxia had just called to say that she had returned to San Francisco.

Tang Huan immediately understood that Lin Meiren needed his own comfort, so he should hurry over.

Since the release of the first part of "Senior Sister", "Real Estate Storm", did not catch up with last year's Golden Horse Awards deadline, it had to be relegated to this year's Golden Horse Awards.

And the second movie "Empire of Money" has played a role of cheering and cheering in the near future. It suddenly made Lin Qingxia and her team hot, and the nominations were soft. Lin Qingxia's thoughts on the Golden Horse Awards Naturally, it inevitably became intense.

But the actual situation of the Golden Horse Awards is that since "Story of Time" started Taiwan's "New Film Movement" in 1982, those works with heavy themes and thought-provoking will be favored.

To put it bluntly, the more miserable the storyline of the movie, the greater the hope of winning the award.

For example, the best feature film and best director of this year's Golden Horse Awards belong to "Xiao Bi's Story", the best actor is Sun Yue from "Hitch the Wrong Car", and the best actress is Lu Xiaofen from "The Day to Watch the Sea". That's not the case.

As a result, Lin Qingxia's tragic failure, coupled with the fact that there were so many people who were popular, and all kinds of gossip came to her face, she couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly hid in the United States.

"So you want to win an award and be recognized by others?" Tang Huan joked: "How about I give you another idea?"

Lin Qingxia gave Tang Huan an angry look, "Look at your out-of-shape appearance, it must be a bad idea."

"Of course not." Tang Huan leaned over and said in a low voice, "I think, maybe you need to understand life a little bit, which may bring about a breakthrough and leap in acting."

Lin Qingxia's eyes lit up when she heard this, "How do you understand life?"

"For example, create a villain to experience what it's like to be a mother." Tang Huan replied solemnly.

"Also said it wasn't a bad idea." Lin Qingxia blushed and waved over.
