Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

In the morning, Xia Yu ate breakfast and drove to the IBM headquarters building. Under the guidance of the security guard, he parked the car in the outdoor garage.

As the company with the highest market value in the United States today, IBM is also the treasure of Almonk, New York. In the sparsely populated United States, the most basic commercial land is of course you can get as much land as you need.

Coming out of the garage, looking up at the IBM letter at the front of the row of buildings, Xia Yu nodded slightly and led people to the reception hall.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

The waitress at the front desk saw Xia Yu and a group of people walking in in suits and leather shoes, and immediately asked with a smile and politely.

Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "We are representatives of Polaris Capital. Is Mr. Frank T. Cary here?"

Seeing the lady's face showing embarrassment, Xia Yu's help immediately stood up and reminded: "We, Polaris Capital, are the eighth largest shareholder of IBM."

The service lady was very excited, and immediately said obediently: "The CEO is in his office. Please wait here for a while. I will report to the superior."

Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, trouble you."

"No trouble, this is my accusation!"

After a while, the service lady brought a middle-aged man down. After seeing Xia Yu and others, the middle-aged man speeded up again.

"Hello, I'm Robin, the manager of the administration department. Are you a representative of Polaris Capital?"

The middle-aged man Robin asked respectfully, looking at Xia Yu, who was clearly the leader.

Unlike the front desk lady, as an executive of IBM, he naturally knows the changes in the company's shareholding structure and also knows that the eighth largest shareholder of the newcomer is Polaris Capital.

Now the representative of Polaris Capital is here. He must be attentive. After all, Polaris Capital will basically get a seat on the company's board of directors. If they are offended, if they are remembered, they will wear shoes in the future.

"Hello! Yes!" Xia Yu smiled and shook hands with him.

"This is the chairman of our Polaris Capital Company, Mr. Xia."

Xia Yu's assistant stood up again and introduced Xia Yu's identity.

"Hello, Mr. Xia!" Robin's gaze changed instantly, lowering his posture.

After the question was over, he felt that he couldn't help receiving the reception, so he led Xia Yu and others into the elevator to find CEO Frank T. Cary.

Soon, Xia Yu and others came to the tenth floor and met Frank T. Cary, who was over 50, in the CEO's office.

Frank T. Cary took over as CEO in 1973, and he took over from Thomas John Watson Jr., and his ability is absolutely beyond doubt.

After the news that Polaris Capital became a shareholder came back, Frank T. Cary used all his relationships to learn about Polaris Capital and directly found some information about Chairman Xia Yu in the official database.

Therefore, seeing Xia Yu at this time, he was not surprised, and stood up enthusiastically to welcome him.

"Mr. Xia, hello, this is Frank T. Cary, and I welcome you."

"Hello, Mr. Frank, I'm sorry that I didn't make an appointment, but I will stop by to interrupt."

"Mr. Xia is polite, IBM is also your home, of course you don't need to make an appointment to go back to your own home." Frank T. Cary smiled humorously.

Xia Yu nodded and smiled at the right time: "Mr. Frank, you are really humorous, but you are right, we are a family."

"Haha..."

"Come, everyone, please sit down!"

"Robin, you go prepare fruit and coffee."

"Ok."

...

Xia Yu had a long-sleeved dance and had a very friendly conversation with Frank T. Cary. The two discussed the status quo and prospects of mainframes, minicomputers and microcomputers from the antitrust investigation of IBM by the US judicial department.

Especially when it comes to microcomputers, Xia Yu holds the view that IBM must design and produce its own microcomputers to compete with Apple when Apple has not yet stabilized the market. This attitude is similar to Frank T. Cary. The concept is exactly the same.

Nowadays, the much appreciated management model of IBM was developed by Frank T. Cary, but the general shortcoming of the old company is that the bureaucracy is serious, so it was restrained in the 1970s and failed to respond to the minicomputer market in time. Rise, helplessly watch the American digital equipment company become the overlord in the field of minicomputers.

Now the microcomputer market has exploded like the minicomputer market. Of course Frank T. Cary will no longer let the bureaucracy restrain his hands and feet, so he resolutely promoted it. A high-level secret meeting was held just ten days ago and a secret was determined. The project code-named "Chess" requires the development of a microcomputer belonging to IBM within one year to compete with Apple.

Therefore, Xia Yu's attitude on the microcomputer, who is about to become the company's director, is surprisingly consistent with it. This is absolutely great news!

After chatting for a while, Xia Yu suddenly asked: "Mr. Frank, is there any senior in the company now? Can you recommend me?"

Frank T. Kane said in a daze, "I'm really sorry, I almost forgot, I will take you there now."

"Now Mr. Thomas John Watson is in the company. After retiring, he served as the chairman of the executive committee, but he was in poor health. Most of the time he recuperated in New Zealand, and he just came back this month."

"In addition, several directors are also in the company. I will take you over to meet them."

After speaking, Frank T. Cary got up and took Xia Yu and others to recognize people.

Little Thomas John Watson's physical condition is indeed not good, Xia Yu can clearly see that his face is wrong, but think about it, he is also a nearly seventy-year-old man, can understand.

For Xia Yu’s arrival, Thomas John Watson Jr. expressed a sincere welcome, and then entrusted Frank T. Cary to entertain Xia Yu, and proposed to arrange for a board meeting in the next few days~www.readwn.com~ Welcome Xia Yu To join.

Later, Frank T. Cary took Xia Yu to meet several other directors. One of them made Xia Yu pay special attention to him, because this was a female director named Mary Maxwell Gates. It is Bill Gates' mother.

And Mary Maxwell Gates' board of directors comes from First Intercontinental Banking Corporation, and she is the representative of First Intercontinental Banking Corporation.

In fact, although she is a senior at First Intercontinental Banking Company, she can only be regarded as a middle-upper. Being able to enter IBM Corporation on behalf of First Intercontinental Banking Company still benefited from her father JW Maxwell, who is Bill Gates. Grandfather.

J.W. Maxwell is a big banker who once served as bank president and has considerable influence on Wall Street and the US government.

According to the historical trajectory, the reason why Bill Gates was able to take the operating system order from IBM with an irregular company was completely introduced by Mary Maxwell Gates, otherwise Bill Gates would even Frank T. Cary. You can’t even see him, let alone win the contract with nothing?

But in this life, whether Bill Gates can get the contract smoothly depends on his choice!

Had it not been for two-handed preparation, Xia Yu would not have thought about becoming a director of IBM in a hurry.

After getting to know the directors, Frank T. Cary took Xia Yu around the company again, and got to know the company's executives and employees.

Three days later, the board of directors convened, and Xia Yu was unanimously approved to become a director of IBM after taking a formality.

Xia Yu also invited everyone to a five-star hotel to gather once that night, which won everyone's favor.
