Chapter 708 Want Tang's richest man's financial model
……

Located in the heart of San Francisco, the St. Francis Hotel has a history dating back to 1904. It is another time-honored hotel founded by the "Four Railway Tycoons" family and has received countless celebrities including heads of state from all over the world.

It is worth mentioning that when the president of the United States settles in San Francisco, the Democrats usually stay at another famous hotel, the Fairmont Hotel, while the Republicans stay at the St. Francis Hotel. The current President Ronald Reagan is its owner. regulars.

The location of St. Francis Hotel is extremely superior, only about 2.5 kilometers away from the famous Fisherman's Wharf by car.Its surrounding landscape also includes Union Square, San Francisco City Hall, Transamerica Pyramid, etc.

It is conceivable that the St. Francis Hotel is very popular on weekdays, but today it is even more prosperous, because the reception hosted by Tang Huan, the richest man in the United States, who is widely concerned, was held here.

Among the gathered guests, those journalists who participated in the investment at the media briefing became a group with a rather special background. After all, this reception is not open to the media.

Luckily, Jack was one of these members and was able to participate in such a top social event for the first time in his life.

Middle-aged Jack is an ordinary reporter of Fang's Newspaper Group in San Francisco, and his life is neither good nor bad.

Fang's Newspaper belongs to the "Tang Supporting School" who has a close relationship with Tang Huan. Jack also agrees with this position, so at the media briefing that day, he just got his salary, and he invested in 200 As a result, he was scolded by his wife Ruth after returning home, and then became a joke in the company-wanting to get rich and crazy.

Because of this incident, Jack was really depressed for a while.

However, when he received the $1000 check, the letter of thanks, and the invitation letter, Jack puffed up his chest immediately, feeling elated, "See, that's the vision!"

His wife, Ruth, also turned into a good little sheep, urging her husband, Jack, to get the $1000 check to the bank to change it.

But Jack had other ideas. He planned to keep the check and thank you letter signed by Tang Huan as a collection.

"What's so great about the signature of the richest man in the United States." The more realistic wife Ruth immediately objected, "In my opinion, you just want to use it as a boring capital that you can brag about later."

Ever since, the two had a quarrel again, and in the end, because they found the invitation letter too attractive, they called for gold to withdraw.

Next, the couple spent several days carefully preparing their outfits.

Before going out today, they made all kinds of promises, coaxing the children to agree to stay at home honestly and not be a monster.

After arranging all kinds of trivial matters that are entangled in reality, Jack and Ruth came to this long-awaited banquet with ease.

……

At the entrance of the St. Francis Hotel, Jack, who was held by his wife Ruth, gracefully handed over his invitation.

After the waiter had read it, he returned the invitation, and said respectfully to the well-dressed couple, "Sir, madam, please come inside, at the entrance of the grand banquet hall, you can receive a gift with this invitation."

After entering the hotel, Ruth, who seemed not to look sideways, said to her husband in a low voice: "This place should be specially arranged according to the requirements of the host of the reception."

"Of course." Jack nodded slightly, and replied softly, "Looking at the number of luxury cars outside, you can know how high the specifications of this event are."

Ruth continued to gossip: "Look, there are a lot of embellishments in the shape of '8' here. Is this an early start to welcome the arrival of 1988?"

"I don't know, '8' is also the number that the richest man likes. There are also rumors that the computer financial analysis model project I invested in before earned 8 million US dollars from the capital market." Jack said ostentatiously : "So, at this reception, the number '8' will have a special meaning."

Ruth moved closer to Jack, her eyes full of admiration of "Wow, husband, you know a lot".

At the entrance of the grand banquet hall, there is an even bigger surprise waiting for the couple.There were exquisite packaging boxes like a hill, which immediately made Ruth's gaze even more colorful.

"Did you see it?" Ruth asked her husband in a low voice after watching a gap that no one was paying attention to.

Jack swallowed and murmured, "I see, there are mobile phones, laptops, palmtops, video game consoles, CD players, home video recorders..."

This time, Ruth handed the invitation to the waiter.

I saw the other party skillfully holding the invitation and sliding it on a machine. Then there was a clear "didi" sound, and then a mobile phone came over and said enthusiastically: "Thank you for coming. A small gift." , That’s not a respect, madam, please accept it, and I wish you have fun in the following game sessions and win lucky prizes.”

Ruth took the present with a beaming face, and walked into the banquet hall with Jack. After finding a place to sit down, she gave it to her husband to have a look.

"Motorola's mobile phone DynaTAC retails at $3995." Jack said excitedly.

He has been coveting such a high-tech communication tool that represents futurism for a long time, but unfortunately he is reluctant to buy it or use it because it is also a symbol of wealth.

Ruth covered her mouth with her hand all of a sudden, rolled her eyes, and looked around the crowd in the banquet hall, "Tell me, how many people are invited for today's reception?"

"It won't be less than 500." Jack showed the professional qualities of a reporter and replied without thinking.

"Then every invitation can get a mobile phone, doesn't it mean that this gift alone will cost millions of dollars?" Ruth also showed the math talent of housewives.

Of course Jack was aware of the luxury of the reception, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Besides, there are so many other prizes out there." Ruth said longingly: "If we are lucky enough to get two, Christmas gifts can save a lot of money."

"Then I have to start praying to the goddess of luck now, and I don't know if it will be too late." Jack shrugged.

Among the crowd, Ruth, who caught the back of Tang Huan, the host of the reception, started to gossip again, and muttered to her husband: "You said, the richest man really made $8 million on Black Monday." Otherwise, how could the reception be so cost-effective."

"Who knows. Some people infer that since Tang trusts his computerized financial analysis model so much, the investment must not be limited to the project team's apparent operations, that is, he won not only earn the rumored 8 million US dollars. However, after all How much, it should have little to do with the specifications of this reception. I have done a lot of reports on Tang, and I know that he has always been generous-almost every university in California has scholarships set up by him." When Jack answered, he looked a little absent-minded.Gain looked at the mobile phone, thinking about how to prevent his wife from cashing in on him.

……

Ruth is not the only one who is curious about Tang Huan, the host of the reception. The rise and fall of the richest man's wealth during the stock market crash has become an addition and subtraction problem that everyone is fascinated by.

Especially the elites in banking, securities, insurance and other fields who appeared at the reception had a more important task, which was to obtain the financial analysis model of the richest man in Tang Dynasty.

In a warm atmosphere, the reception officially began.

Tang Huan, who was in good spirits, walked onto the stage with the brisk band accompaniment, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to come."

"Many people are wondering why there are so many number '8' decorations on the reception? Could it be that they really made 8 million US dollars recently, so they used this form to show off to everyone?"

Amid laughter from the audience, Tang Huan placed a small object with the number '8' flat, and then explained: "The number '8' is one of my favorite numbers. Please see, now it becomes I created a symbol '∞' that represents infinity. And I prefer to give it a humanistic meaning other than mathematics."

"In addition, 1988 is coming soon. This will be the tenth year of my professional career, and I can't help but feel emotional."

"Someone must be complaining. You've been talking nonsense for a long time. Hurry up and get real stuff. Is the rumor that you made 8 million US dollars by using computer financial models recently true or false?"

Hearing this, all the guests in the audience pricked up their ears.

"Sorry everyone, I still can't respond to this. Because my team told me that this is a good advertising stunt, but it is also very likely to cause difficult problems. Many people are starting to pay attention to our financial analysis models. , in case of misleading, a good thing becomes a bad thing instead.”

"Let's stop this topic here. I just want to say that the computer, as a tool, can bring infinite possibilities just like the infinity symbol '∞'."

……

Although Tang Huan still did not give a clear answer to the question of income, this mystery seems to support the rumors to some extent, giving curious people a sense of accomplishment of searching for secrets and peeling off cocoons.

After Tang Huan finished his speech, he was quickly surrounded by elites in the financial world.They all want to know whether the richest man will share that computer financial analysis model in the form of a commercial product.

"Now I can be sure that the relevant hardware systems and software tools will be open to the professional field." Tang Huan stated clearly: "However, everyone must understand that it is relatively simple to launch a product, but excellent product support staff can't do it." It's so easy to cultivate, and this kind of product just needs a tailor-made personalized link between the product and the customer."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone understood that what they needed to do was to prepare enough banknotes.As for the possibility of being slaughtered, I had to admit it.

The reason why you look resigned to fate is because this financial analysis model is similar to the encryption and decryption system in the industry. Once there is a new breakthrough, you have to keep up with it as a whole. You are reluctant to spend money and the follow-up speed is slow. The result is likely to be eliminated.

……

The fact is also the same. The IT ecosystem based on Fangyuan Computer has begun to usher in an explosive sales season.

After "Black Monday", the imperfections in the electronic trading system catalyzed the occurrence of the stock market crash, which has been accepted by more and more people.

There is even an argument of lamentation that if Wall Street hadn't arbitrarily excluded Fangyuan Computer, which was affected by the security crisis of Pacific Telecom's computer billing system, when it updated its electronic trading system, the current situation might not be so bad. .

Although this afterthought is just a slight complaint, it also makes more people believe in the young Fangyuan computer system.

The real appeal is that the financial elites want the financial model of Tang's richest man.

When San Francisco-based insurance giant Pan Am, along with Bank of America, was the first to announce that it had acquired the system it wanted from PeopleSoft, a buying frenzy ensued.

Compared with the multi-billion dollar orders generated by the entire Fangyuan computer standard ecosystem, there is an even more exaggerated phenomenon, that is, those business school students who participated in Tang Huan's computer financial analysis model research and development project were accepted by major The financial institutions were all sold out, which just confirmed Tang Huan's statement that "talent is the key factor".

At this time, Tang Huan added another piece of firewood to the hot market. He officially announced: "The latest model of the Fangyuan supercomputer, Taiji III, will be delivered in early December. The first Taiji III will be delivered to the public. At the University of Florida, the actual performance was 12GFLOPS."

This is not over yet, Tang Huan also released the rumor, "At the upcoming COMDEX in Las Vegas, the Fangyuan computer standard platform will launch a series of heavyweight new products."

Some people laugh, and correspondingly, some people cry.

The market value of Fangyuan Computer Company was hit by "Black Monday" and billions of dollars were evaporated out of thin air. How could IBM survive the disaster?

It seems that this figure is still unattainable for countless companies, but as far as Big Blue is concerned, its performance cannot be worse.

Compared with the distrust shown by investors in the stock market, the more practical problem is that IBM's operating conditions have indeed reached the point of dying, and this year's losses have been confirmed, while the product line, the mainframe is lifeless, and there is no future in sight; Personal computers are very capable, but in the fiercely competitive market, they have been smashed and smashed, and they have squeezed out precious cash flow resources in vain.

The situation in the industry is already very clear. The Fangyuan personal computer standard has won, and the IBM personal computer standard can go to be called brothers with Apple's MAC.

"Raising pigs and killing pigs" is the survival rule created by Wall Street. IBM is skinny and skinny, but round and fat, the capitalists are not dissatisfied. As suggested, for a spin-off?
