Rebirth of the Tech Madman

I have a stiff neck, and my neck hurts like hell. This chapter is very awkward at night. I will correct the typos later. ⊙four⊙five⊙Chinese⊙Chinese~,

...

Because he graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and lived in the United States for several years, Mr. Song is very familiar with the rules of the game here.

The more you can toss, the more it shows that you are capable, and there is no such thing as hiding clumsiness.

Now that Tang Huan is sought after by the media to such an extent, it can only be said that his power is so powerful.

Even if the agreed business mission was cancelled, and the pigeons from Baodao were released, no one really dared to do anything to them.

Thinking of retreating before advancing, Mr. Song decided to find a way out for his trip.

The next day, Tang Wenmao came to Mr. Song with the itinerary to see how he planned to arrange it.

I want to see your boss as soon as possible. Mr. Song sighed.

He's gone to New York, and he won't be back in a few days. Tang Wenmao replied apologetically.

Mr. Song looked at the itinerary again, all kinds of visits and play, which can be described as hospitality, but how could he be in that mood.

Then I'll go visit some friends first. Mr. Song waved his hand helplessly.

I'll prepare the car right now. Tang Wenmao politely said goodbye.

...

The person who was treated by Mr. Song as a life-saving straw naturally has a long history. It is Mr. Xiao Jiang's only daughter, Miss Jiang Er, who currently lives in Oakland with her husband and son.

This Second Miss Jiang is also the only granddaughter of Mr. Jiang, who has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child. Although she seldom returns to Baodao, her status and influence are very special.

Mr. Song's idea is very simple, find someone who can talk to Mr. Jiang in advance. In case this errand goes wrong. Also to avoid losing favor.

After the two sides met. We had a good time talking.

Miss Jiang's husband, Yu Yanghe, asked Mr. Song what business he was doing in the United States this time, and Mr. Song took advantage of the opportunity to explain his purpose.

You can't blame him for his temper, he is the richest man in the United States, and he has added luster to the Chinese.

Second Miss Jiang smiled sweetly, turned her head and asked her husband, I'm not wrong, he is the richest man in the United States, right?

He and Daniel Ludwig are the richest. There is still no conclusion. But the richest man in China should be worthy of the name. Yu Yanghe explained carefully, Of course, the premise is that his stock price cannot fall.

Everyone is a smart person, Mr. Song's purpose was clear, so he didn't mention it, and chatted about other gossips.

When it was time to eat, Second Miss Jiang's son Yu Zhusheng came back with a full set of baseball equipment.

Mr. Song was a little surprised, Do you like this sport?

The University of Berkeley has organized a Chinese team, so I will participate. Yu Zhusheng replied excitedly.

That Boss Tang is now the student idol of Berkeley University. Many people have joined his company, and this kid is thinking about it too. Yu Yanghe shook his head with a smile.

Discover Tang Huan's influence. Even Miss Jiang's home was affected, Mr. Song couldn't help feeling a little tasteless at the dinner table,

...

Seeing that Yu Zhusheng was interested in baseball, Mr. Song borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to take this young man to watch an Oakland Athletics game under the arrangement of Tang Wenmao, and visited Zheru's headquarters in Cupertino.

Just in time, their group caught up with the company's inauguration ceremony.

While watching the excitement, Mr. Song finally figured out that the desktop publishing system mentioned in the newspaper was operated by this company.

Yu Zhusheng knows a lot about the profession. He said with admiration: This desktop publishing system is equivalent to the four great inventions of printing. Chinese publications have the opportunity to stand on the same starting line as English publications.

Listening to Yu Zhusheng's eloquent speech, Mr. Song finally understood that Tang Huan's development of this desktop publishing system has extraordinary significance in terms of cultural dissemination and economic benefits.

The small buildings occupied by Zheru, ea, Fangyuan Computer, Comprehensive R\u0026D Center, Certification Training Center and other institutions have formed a technological community.

Mr. Song was dazzled here, and was deeply shocked by the huge property under Tang Huan's name. At the same time, he wanted to see Tang Huan more and more urgently, but Tang Wenmao's answer was still that he was in New York, which made Mr. Song very crazy. .

...

Tang Huan was really busy, so he didn't mean to deal with Mr. Song coldly. Of course, he was also happy to see the result by knocking on the other side by the way.

After the official release of ibm-, its influence is manifested in various aspects.

For example, although ibm-'s production capacity has not yet been fully activated, several dealers have generously placed orders of hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are not many people who hold bad feet, and it is hard for other manufacturers not to be jealous.

In terms of publicity, ibm-, after inspecting a number of celebrities, finally came up with a creative advertisement based on the character of the homeless man in Charlie Chaplin's movie, which was well received, and it also made people see that ibm- was indeed related to blue The color giant's previous products are quite different in style.

In terms of sales channels, ibm-, like ordinary electrical appliances, has entered traditional stores and placed eye-catching counters.

These are real swords and guns on the bright side, as well as various insidious tricks outside the market.

The most damaging one is that Intel's processor production capacity is taken up by ibm-'s intel8088, and other manufacturers only get a very small quota of intel8086. Although Intel promises to increase production lines, the possibility of tight CPU supply will greatly increase.

Tang Huan was really nervous about this. Although he had been actively hoarding goods earlier, for example, he directly purchased 50,000 Intel 8086 and Motorola from Intel and Motorola in one batch, but it would consume a lot of energy. You know, This kind of cpu is not only used in the mainframe of the second-generation Fangyuan computer, but also hardware products such as game consoles, digital fax machines, printers, etc. cannot do without them.

Fortunately, amd, as the second supplier, is quite capable. It has developed a substitute compatible with intel8086, which can temporarily relieve the urgent need. After Taiwan's Lianhua Electronics can do the same. I believe that ibm's bottom line. will fall through naturally.

Tang Huan could see it. Don Estridge saw that he could not match the second-generation Fangyuan computer model, so he simply let ibm-concentrate on fighting the second-generation Fangyuan computer's intel8086 model.

These routine battles were not worthy of Tang Huan's constant attention. After instructing his subordinates to deal with them carefully, he set off for New York. John Weinberg and John Whitehead, two associates of Goldman Sachs, received him together.

No matter how embarrassing Tang Huan was, he would not be able to please John Weinberg and John Whitehead so much, but because of his intention to come so that they were very moved.

Investment companies naturally like customers to come to them for capital operations. Tang Huan brought this kind of business to his door.

John Weinberg and John Whitehead finished reading the documents respectively, their faces were solemn, and they were silent for a while.

Why, do you think I'm wishful thinking? Tang Huan raised his brows and asked in a deep voice.

That's not true. John Weinberg shook his head, and took a deep look at Tang Huan, To be honest, Tang, I am amazed by your financing ability.

John Whitehead put the papers in order and pondered for a moment. We need to study whether foreign funds enter this field. Whether it is within the scope of the law.

John Weinberg nodded approvingly, Also, it's unknown whether the other party is willing to sell.

It's because of the difficulty that I came to you. I don't trust other investment companies. Tang Huanhui gave a top hat without any hassle.

Don't worry, we're only saying this out of caution. John Weinberg's eyes sparkled. If this acquisition can be negotiated, it will undoubtedly further enhance Goldman Sachs' reputation on Wall Street.

However, you are patient. John Whitehead added with a faint smile.

These two are really good partners who sing and sing together. No wonder the guys on Wall Street were surprised.

After Tang Huan secretly admired, he took out another document and handed it over, The matter just now needs to be done step by step, but please complete this acquisition as soon as possible.

You are really rich and powerful. John Weinberg joked, took the document, glanced at it, and couldn't help being a little surprised, You want to buy Tandy, isn't that a leather company?

Tandy also has a personal computer business. John Whitehead corrected, But you don't need to buy it, it's a completely cheap product, and it's even called rubbish.

Tang Huan smiled and said nothing, and John Weinberg quickly realized what he said again, Tang has taken a fancy to this chain store of electronic products.

Channel is king. The pressure from IBM should not be underestimated. I must actively respond to it. Tang Huan explained with emotion.

, similar to Suning and Gome, is an extremely well-known chain store for electronic goods. Now there are thousands of stores distributed in the United States, Mexico, and even Europe. It cannot far surpass Apple, Commodore and other peers in terms of sales.

In the original time and space, it survived until the era when online shopping became popular, but because of its poor business performance, it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and was targeted by e-commerce companies such as Amazon with the purpose of acquisition.

In the beginning, Tandy and Tandy were two completely unrelated companies. The former was established in 1921 and started to operate radio equipment, while the latter was established in 1919 to do leather business.

When the two companies developed ups and downs until 1963, they were seriously in debt, and the bank was worried that their loans would not be repaid, so they let tandy take over.

At that time, tandy's boss, charles standy——Charles? tandy was very intelligent, and forcibly turned it into a cash cow.

In 1977, TRS-80 was officially released, making Tang Di, Commodore, and Apple the first batch of pioneers in the industry to provide a complete host instead of various components, so that they can be used directly.

But in 1978, at the age of 60, Tandy died suddenly of a heart attack. Unprepared, the entire tandy company began to turmoil. Even tops are for leather and computer products. What kind of as the main business and divergence.

Even so. Still performing solidly, trs- was introduced in 1980.

The price of the TRS-80 is only a few hundred dollars. Naturally, there is no way to compare with it in terms of functions. However, due to its price advantage, it is still very popular among amateurs, and its sales are very high, surpassing Apple.

But also because of this. The first impression is that the product is waste or rubbish, so now, its operators are trying to dilute the brand and replace it with tandy.

It's not the best time for Tang Huan to acquire it now. After all, it has performed well in recent years, but he sees it very openly. Isn't the large amount of cash accumulated in his hand just to meet the unforeseen needs at this time? .

Zheru's own sales and service network nodes are currently distributed in big cities. Not even Apple.

In theory, this layout is almost enough. Some tasks can be handed over to the dealer.

But after seeing the appeal of the blue giant with his own eyes, Tang Huan immediately felt the crisis brought about by the gathering of responders.

Since it is inconvenient for the network to be controlled by others, and it takes time to build, it is better to just buy ready-made ones.

Therefore, it became Tang Huan's goal. If this network is won, with its chain power, at least small consumer goods such as game cassettes and software disks can be regarded as being placed directly in front of users.

After further communication, John Weinberg and John Whitehead smiled at each other, and the former stated: We will make a plan for this acquisition as soon as possible, please wait for the good news.

...

After having dinner with John Weinberg and John Whitehead, Tang Huan hurried to the Lixian Corporal to invite Carter to San Francisco. The position he prepared for the other party was the independent director and vice president of Shennong Fund.

Don't look at Carter's resignation, but his status is special after all, it is impossible to really put all his energy on one organization, he still has a lot of things to do.

When Tang Huan accompanied Carter to visit the Shennong Foundation and introduced the prevention and control, education and other measures to him, it happened that Mr. Song also came here to watch the excitement.

Mr. Song, who hid the shock in his heart, took a chance, pulled Tang Huan's arm and smiled wryly: Brother, you can't just leave me alone like this, give me a chance to have a good talk, otherwise I won't be able to do business for you brother. .”

I don't dare to neglect my brother. Tang Huan nodded, After I arrange this big Buddha properly, the two of us will talk about it in detail.

...

The patient Mr. Song was finally able to sit down with Tang Huan to talk about things, and he quickly got to the point, Brother, the business delegation was canceled very suddenly, and Baodao was not prepared at all.

What preparations are needed for cancellation. Tang Huan smiled disapprovingly.

Seeing that the other party didn't show affection at all, Mr. Song, who is usually regarded as a high-ranking and powerful man, had no temper at all. He cautiously probed, Is it possible that someone on Baodao has made my brother unhappy?

Brother, you are really right. We have a tacit understanding, but Li Jun has been very unhappy recently. She was scolded in the newspaper and even went to Xiangjiang to hold a concert. She was banned by a small visa. It's stuck, there is no one here, is it possible? Tang Huan was also open and honest.

There are many factions on Treasure Island. If the following people want to claim credit, I can't clearly express my opposition.

Moreover, Mr. Jiang, who is not in good health, doesn't have the energy to know about these bits and pieces.

On the contrary, he still attaches great importance to your business delegation, and specially asked me to communicate with you in advance, so that we can have a good conversation during the meeting.

Now that you have knocked down the pick, how can I deal with it.

He Yici is just a technical official, so naturally he doesn't understand the thoughts of bureaucrats and politicians. When he heard that the business mission was cancelled, he was anxious at the time, How could this happen? Acer, Lianhua, Hon Hai...a bunch of companies, How can I explain what I'm waiting for to pick up the project.

Mr. Song snorted lightly, thinking that no matter how difficult you are to the people below, they will not dare to do anything to you. If I dissatisfy the immediate superior, it will only take a few minutes to throw away the black hat.

Seeing the displeasure on Mr. Song's face, He Yici coughed lightly and regained his composure, Since the business delegation has been cancelled, shall we still go to America?

Of course I'm going, otherwise, we won't be able to do business. Mr. Song replied angrily.

...

After getting off the plane, Mr. Song did not see Tang Huan, but his personal assistant Tang Wenmao picked him up and was in charge of the itinerary.

In this regard, Mr. Song didn't feel that he was being treated slowly. Who made Tang Huan make such a fortune so quickly, and he had to believe that it was a matter of daily affairs.

Besides, this Tang Wenmao is Tang Huan's distant cousin. He is definitely a person with a low position but with real power, so he should not be underestimated.

After checking into the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel in the affluent area of ​​San Francisco, Mr. Song had nothing to say. With such a high hospitality standard, he couldn't find a place to pick it up.

After Tang Wenmao left, Mr. Song rushed to the newspaper to learn about the local situation.

When I opened the San Francisco Chronicle, the headline was: The darling of Wall Street targets new areas, and the desktop publishing system triggers an industrial revolution.

Mr. Song understood that this is a new product launched by the company under the name of Tang Huan, what are the two major standards opentype, (to be continued...)
