Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Regarding Woz's plane crash, Tang Huan was very speechless. In order to help him alleviate his obsession with flying small private jets, he had tried his best, but this kind of small probability incident still happened, but it was only a while later. .

This really complied with that sentence, man's fate is destined, but it's a pity that Woz's talent in electronic technology is a pity.

However, the impact of this accident is limited to the micro level. After all, Woz has achieved fame, fame and fortune. His enthusiasm for work is almost entirely determined by his hobbies, and his daily activities are all in the apple.

On the contrary, Mike Scott was forced to take a vacation, and the position was changed by the chairman Markkula, which had a far-reaching impact.

In addition, Wall Street's reaction is a bit intriguing. It even accused Apple of being an upstart. After being proud, it became frivolous.

Nima, capitalists who have never known moral integrity, when did they become so humane? Tang Huan was really puzzled.

The composition of Apple's personnel is relatively complicated. Since the beginning of starting a business in a garage, it has successively had a group of veteran employees with low diplomas, part-time or full-time. These people are the part of Apple that has not been allocated stock benefits after it went public. group.

Most of the employees recruited next are highly educated talents like ea's current Hawkins. Of course, there are also some people who have dropped out of school but are very special, but there are many of them with special attributes such as secondary school Characters, because Jobs has a lot of things involved in recruitment, and his employment standards are quite unique.

Therefore, as Mike Scott, it is really difficult and labor-intensive to manage the company. In addition, he also has problems with his health. A strong dose of medicine. Tang Huan can also predict that he will make a quick cut to deal with the mess.

As for Mike Scott's leave, it is purely a normal state of the company's political struggle.

You know, although ibm-called a new generation of 16-bit personal computers. But in order to reduce the cost, the cpu it uses is the intel 8088 which is a shrunken version of the intel 8086. Both internal registers are 16-bit, but the latter's external data bus is 8-bit, not a complete 16-bit cpu.

Apple's upgraded version of the Apple platform already has a large number of applications, especially Zheru's business software, and its performance may not be bad.

Therefore, in actual market competition,

ibm- did not have the crushing advantage as soon as it appeared on the stage, as I thought, and wanted to make money from this field. It has to be done step by step, for example, first of all, the popular Apple in the entry-level market must be misfired.

Obviously, if Apple is bad-mouthed by others and loses its reputation in the market, Tang Huan's hope that Apple will be entangled with IBM- may be greatly affected. Go to Silicon Valley and see what's going on. Don't hide any follow-up conspiracy behind your back.

Taking advantage of the release of Apple and the rise in Apple's stock price, Tang Huan sold most of his Apple stock and offered to resign as a director.

But Markkula disagreed. Although Jobs didn't say anything, he tacitly kept him.

In the end, Tang Huan became an independent director, and his relationship with Apple was broken.

so. He got some inside information. This time, Apple's high-level personnel changes are not as simple as it seems to the outside world.

Scott, who had a good personal relationship with Markkula, even planned a board coup, trying to drive away Jobs, Markkula and other unscrupulous company founders, so that Apple could become what he considered a normal company .

And this action has also received the support of many factions. There is a great tendency to connect.

It has to be said that Scott's resentment seems to be worthy of sympathy.

Markkula belonged to a hedonistic group and neglected corporate affairs; while Jobs was arbitrary, diverting more and more corporate resources to the project team.

In addition, the three founders of Apple, Jobs, Woz, Markkula, and Zheru founder Tang Huan, have established a complex relationship through mutual shareholding, and the right to know about their decisions often excludes Scott. Or ignore his opinion.

Just like this year, Apple exchanged its Zheru shares for Apple, Scott didn't take it seriously, but Apple's market performance was very strong, and Apple's stock price also rose a lot, which made him temporarily swallow his anger.

Perhaps because of Woz's fading out of Apple, Scott, who was exhausted but could not get comfort, saw the hope of changing the world, and with some hints and support, he went to war.

However, the status of the founder is extraordinary. Markkula and Jobs joined forces to extinguish Scott's uprising.

And it is said that Jobs was very proud and avenged Scott for agreeing to expel him from the Lisa project team.

Regarding Apple's troubles, Tang Huan was very overwhelmed. He naturally supported Markkula's measures to maintain Apple's stability. With foreign enemies now, what's the use of internal fighting?

The company is calm now. Markkula handed over a document with a wry smile, This is the report to be submitted at the special board meeting, take a look.

Tang Huan flipped through it casually, and it turned out that it was some content explaining the relationship between Apple and Philosophy to shareholders.

For example, the gentlemen's agreement between the two parties to give up the Asian market, especially the Japanese market, to Fangyuan Computer is essentially just a formality. Apple does not have Hanka technology, so it cannot gain a foothold in this market. It is better to give up with dignity.

Moreover, to this day, the first-generation Fangyuan computer has not entered the US market through official channels as agreed.

For another example, the apple exchanged for the Zheru shares in his hand has produced major benefits in terms of market sales, stock market reaction, company product planning, etc., and is definitely worth the money.

In addition, Zheru not only through killer apps, but also best-selling video games like Tetris. Helped Apple Computer to expand its market share, and also authorized patents for mouse control technology and so on.

In short, Zheru and Apple have benefited each other for a long time, and there is no question of who takes advantage of the other.

Tang Huan put down the report and smiled knowingly. It's better to put it in the open and talk about it.

I hope to be more convincing in terms of patent authorization. Markkula looked at Tang Huan eagerly, and the graphic support features on the operation interface are very eye-catching. Lisa and the project team are also constantly conquering Talking about all kinds of difficulties in this field will undoubtedly promote the progress of research and development.”

Tang Huan thought for a moment, and finally nodded, Yes. However, we need to sign a detailed agreement, so as not to cause disputes in the future and hurt peace.

It seems that successive lawsuits with Universal and IBM have made you more cautious. Markkula shook his head with a smile.

How to do it, you can arrange someone to find Chambers. I will not attend Apple's board meeting in person, and I still have things to do. Tang Huan finished. Get up and say goodbye.

...

Tang Huan never thought that Huanhuan could settle the debt in one go. He then flew directly to Los Angeles, just to go to United Artists headquarters and test the results—a preview of the upcoming movie.

Andy Albert led his subordinates to welcome the big boss into the office respectfully.

After Lian Mei became Tang Huan's toy, it can be said that he received preferential treatment. For example, the previous deficits were not considered, and the company structure remained stable.

This made many people feel a little bit smug, thinking that the boss is a soft persimmon, and they inevitably became arrogant about their talents.

But when they saw what happened to MGM after it fell into Tang Huan's hands, they immediately fell silent.

A special team composed of senior professionals in the fields of consulting, accounting, auditing, etc., directly stationed in the MGM headquarters, began a series of operations that are said to be called shock therapy.

Shut down and transfer, salary adjustment and job rotation. MGM has been repaired terribly, and it is not over until now.

If the shareholders are dissatisfied, they will buy your shares. If the employees are dissatisfied, they will ask you to find another job.

Seeing this scene, the original Lianmei employees suddenly realized that they were too naive, how could a billionaire who has climbed so fast be a good man and a faithful woman.

Tang Huan took a glance and found that David Begelman, the co-president of MGM, had also come to join in the fun.

This man was the head of MGM when Kirk Kerkorian was in power, and he still had a professional manager contract for several years, so Tang Huan didn't change.

Anyway, during his previous tenure in Colombia, the other party caused an uproar in public opinion because of embezzlement of public funds and left a criminal record. If he is not satisfied with his performance at any time, he can be easily kicked out.

The distribution rights of the movie you're looking at have been negotiated. Andy Albert handed over a document.

Seeing Tang Huan start to read, Andy Albert not only smiled wryly in his heart, because several movies on the file were originally released by Universal Pictures, and it took a long time to successfully cut them off.

This clearly still remembers Universal's enmity, Andy Albert secretly speculated.

Tang Huan focused on watching three films that should have been released by Universal Pictures: the - Four Seasons, on - Golden Pond, the - Conan the Barbarian, among them, Four Seasons is coming out soon.

The theme of this movie is a romantic comedy, with an investment of 6.5 million U.S. dollars, the box office in the original time and space was more than 50 million U.S. dollars. How could Tang Huan leave a movie with such a high income for distribution by Universal Pictures, which offended him.

We've already seen the clip of Conan the Barbarian. I'm afraid the footage is too violent. Andy Albert said anxiously.

You should find a professional to evaluate it. However, isn't the selling point of Conan the Barbarian just about violence? Tang Huan said while turning his attention to the leading actor, who was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger .

By the way, hand over Conan the Barbarian to MGM. Tang Huan glanced at David Bigelman, MGM can't always be this silent.

David Bigelman nodded yes, and at the same time sighed inwardly. Although MGM is much bigger than United Artists, it has done nothing for many years and is no longer qualified to compete in front of the boss.

Golden Pond is according to the plan. It won't be released until the end of the year, but I believe the quality of this movie will not be a problem. It can be seen that Andy Albert's favorite movie is Golden Pond.

This is not surprising, you know, Golden Pond is starring Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda these three powerful superstars.

The sample of the 007 movie eyes only has also been sent. Andy Albert reminded him specially, he knew that Tang Huan was very interested in this subject, and EA was preparing to launch a video game after the movie was released.

Tang Huan pondered for a moment. Schedule 'eyes only' so it doesn't run head-on with Paramount and Lucas' 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. That movie must be unstoppable this year.

The 007 series of movies can be regarded as the most famous brand of United Artists. Of course, Tang Huan does not want it to suffer any setbacks. You must know that any failure is a loss of dollars.

I've also heard about Raiders of the Lost Ark. Andy Albert smiled wryly, The best schedules are the ones, and it's really hard to adjust.

After listening to the report made by the top management, Tang Huan glanced at David Bigelman, I'm going to release the MGM movie on videotape, and the manufacturer in Japan has already contacted it. I'm preparing for it. Production, you have to do your best to assist.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan's eyes fell on Andy Albert, United Artists should also follow up. For example, for those movies that failed at the box office, it might be possible to recover some costs through video tapes.

Andy Albert and David Bigelman quickly nodded in agreement, for fear that Tang Huan would remember the end of last year's Heaven's Gate.

Finish the meeting. After lunch and a short rest, everyone went to the screening room to see how the sample works.

There are two films in total: Four Seasons and eyes only - 007 Top Secret.

After meeting and exchanging pleasantries with their respective producers, directors and others, the screening also started.

...

Tang Huan was naturally very happy after seeing the first batch of results of successfully intercepting Hu Global. This is just a small interest, and there are follow-ups.

However, because Lin Qingxia went to Xiangjiang to film The Martial Arts Emperor's Flower, and Deng Lijun did not return to Los Angeles, Tang Huan could only leave his joy to himself.

So, Tang Huan didn't procrastinate anymore. After glancing at his son, he rushed to the east coast.

Goldman Sachs, the best thug, has finalized the acquisition.

After the meeting, John Weinberg and John Whitehead, triumphant, even joked, Don, do you have any new goals, and we will take it for you.

It takes time to digest the things I bought, and there are no new acquisition plans for the time being. Tang Huan waved his hand, Next, you just need to help me get the big thing done.

That's really a troublesome job. John Weinberg and John Whitehead immediately felt the pressure and lost the mood to joke when they mentioned this.

...

Due to the sudden death of charles tandy, the top management of tandy company had huge differences on the direction of the main business in the future.

Although the normal operation of the company has basically not been affected, it is inevitable that confusion and doubts will arise.

I am a chain store of electronic goods, and I always follow the boss who is in the leather business. After all, it is not a long-term solution.

So Tang Huan took advantage of the gap and took down the gun logically, with an unbelievable ease.

Gein's counterpart believed that this company from Silicon Valley was a professional in software and personal computers, and it was far more reliable than Tandy, which was in the leather business.

Tang Huan appointed - John Roach, as the supervisor.

This person's previous contribution to , mainly reflected in the cheap personal computer trs-80, which is called garbage, but it is favored by non-professional users.

It can be said that in terms of sales alone, trs-80 has far surpassed the other two top PCs - Apple and Commodore.

During the inspection, Bush Jr. approached him enthusiastically, and Tang Huan naturally guessed his purpose.

Reagan, who was assassinated on March 30, returned to the Oval Office on April 25. White House staff and cabinet members gave him a standing ovation.

On April 28, he made his first public appearance, addressing a joint session of the House and Senate.

Throughout the process, Vice President Bush Sr. never overstepped the threshold, which earned him the trust and respect of Reagan.

The basis for this kind of proper response is naturally derived from the tacit favor sent by Tang Huan at the scene of the discovery, and Bush Jr. played the role of spreading the word in the middle.

Of course, since it is tacit, it is impossible for everyone to mention this matter intentionally, and this process is enough to call it a matter of confidentiality.

Don, your business scale is getting bigger and bigger. After meeting, Bush Jr. complimented him with a smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
