Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Every time Tang Huan went to Baodao, he would soak in the hot springs in the mansion in Yangmingshan to soothe his body and mind, and this time was no exception. ()

He was sitting in the pool, squinting his eyes and thinking about something, when suddenly his assistant reported at the door: Boss, Steve Jobs from Apple called from the United States and asked if you would like to buy all of his Apple shares. , we don’t know how to respond appropriately.”

Tang Huan, who was disturbed, was a little impatient, and waved his hand casually, I've quit Apple a long time ago, why do I need its stock now, it's not a rare commodity.

The assistant immediately understood the meaning of the words, and was about to leave when his boss said, Forget it, let me talk to him personally.

As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow. To be a person, you must be skillful and kind.

Tang Huan thought about it, Jobs was now in the pit of his life where he was betrayed by his relatives, and if he directly asked his subordinates to repeat the cold sentence I don't care about Apple's stock, you should find another home, it would be a bit chilling. What's more, the other party is still a small shareholder of Zheru, and it is not harmonious to look down and not look up.

...

Tang Huan, who was wearing a bath towel, picked up the microphone and casually greeted him knowingly, Steve, why did you think of selling Apple's stock? I heard that you have some conflicts with the board of directors recently, but Apple After all, it was created by you alone, so there is no need to be so pessimistic.

It's no longer interesting for me to stay at Apple, so I might as well give them a place. Jobs, with a hoarse voice, laughed at himself mockingly, but with Tang Huan, he still refused to go into details about the inside story without losing face, just being stubborn He asked eagerly, Are you interested in the Apple stock in my hand? The price is negotiable.

Price is not the primary issue. You should know that I am the same as you. I was unhappy on Apple's board of directors. Now that I have broken away from the relationship, I don't want to mess with it anymore. Tang Huan politely refused, but the reason Very tenable.

Silicon Valley is indeed a gold rush paradise. But between the flowers blooming and the clouds rolling and the clouds rolling, I don’t know how many start-up companies come and go every day, and those companies that are famous all over the world are finally able to stand out after cruel waves.

In other words, an excellent target for venture capitalists to hunt. The number is very limited, and after Tang Huan became a nouveau riche, he really put high-quality projects on his plate, and slowly and inevitably joined forces with Arthur Locke and Don Valentine. Humanoids have contradictions.

Take Arthur Locke for example,

He is an important individual shareholder of Intel and Apple Computer, and he naturally hopes that these companies will do their best in terms of profit demands.

Tang Huan is not so overbearing as to prevent Intel and Apple Computer from making profits, but his layout revolves around his own system, such as trying to monopolize Intel's high-end microprocessors, and shaping Apple Computer into a computer that is subject to Fangyuan computer standards but However, it can serve as a foil to evade anti-monopoly investigations, which is actually equivalent to setting a ceiling for the two companies and limiting their desire to do their best to develop.

Although Arthur Locke still doesn't fully understand the mystery. But he could feel that Tang Huan was blocking his way of making money. Especially when I saw that Apple was exploited to such an extent that only the three founders, Jobs, Woz, and Markkula, were compensated by Zheru, I couldn't help but feel vigilant, so I repeatedly launched countermeasures.

Tang Huan didn't have the time to entangle with the other party, so he put aside the relationship with Apple, which was of little value, but Intel crushed it all the way, and won the 20% Intel shares in IBM's hands.

Jobs can be regarded as a person in the game. Knowing that Apple shareholders such as Tang Huan and Arthur Locke are at odds, he naturally accepted the reason for the rejection given by the other party.

In fact, for this result. Jobs expected it. After all, Apple's current situation is not optimistic, and the stock price is sluggish, so it is difficult to get into Tang Huan's eyes.

Just relying on the huge success of the 1984 commercial. Investors were not disappointed enough to give up this Silicon Valley company that once created the miracle of IPO, but instead pinned their hopes on it to launch an improved model of Mac as soon as possible to restore the decline.

Although the fourth-generation Fangyuan PCs are coming aggressively, judging from the current situation, Mac still has a considerable advantage in terms of price.

It is precisely because there is still this hope of turning the tide that Jobs, who was made into a polished commander, is extremely angry.

Many people say Steve. I support you in their mouths, but walk away from him in action. Especially the former close partner John Sculley, and even Markkula and Arthur Locke, who are similar to the elders and mentors, have ruthlessly stood on the opposite side.

This kind of teaming driven by seemingly normal business interests made Jobs feel a kind of deep fateful hurt of being abandoned—he knew very early that he was abandoned by his biological parents and adopted by adoptive parents. ; Unexpectedly, now I have to experience it again.

Therefore, Jobs, who has no bargaining chips for power and profit, intends to leave the sad place of Apple. However, he is also a ruthless person, walking back and forth, but some actions are necessary.

First of all, Jobs has contacted a small group of his loyal followers, planning to leave Apple, completely in accordance with his own ideas, and start a new one.

Then, Jobs didn't want to make Apple's board of directors feel comfortable anymore. He wanted to make trouble for the other party, and Tang Huan became the first choice.

Seeing that Tang Huan had no intention of wading into this muddy water now, Jobs was not discouraged, and asked the next best thing: Tang, since you are not interested in Apple's stock, then I hope you can do me a favor, that is, When I sold stocks, you defaulted to be one of the competitors, and helped me entrust the market.

No problem. Tang Huan readily agreed to this kind and inexpensive favor, and then persuaded: Steve, no matter what, let this unpleasant experience pass as soon as possible, too much Entanglement is harmful but not beneficial, after all, the ecology of shopping malls is like this. Perhaps, you can use a trip to adjust your mood, or change your mind and think about some philosophical issues, such as where I come from and where I am going.”

Jobs burst into a rare laugh, Don, I have to say that the methods you suggest are nothing new.

...

Put down the phone. Tang Huanning frowned and thought about it. After this major change, Apple does not know how its style will change.

At present, Zheru's office software only supports the Apple II platform, which has been eliminated from Apple's product line. It seems that we should take advantage of this trend and completely withdraw from the Apple computer platform. But in this way. It is inevitable that small companies like Microsoft will take advantage of the loopholes.

At this time, a faint sound of pipa came. Tang Huan put down his water glass and followed the sound into the piano room. He saw Lu Xiuling, who was wearing a white suspender dress, playing the song Pipa Language with her pipa in her arms.

Tang Huan smiled slightly. Sit gently in front of the piano and play along. Its undemanding, just right for his arty.

After the song was played, Tang Huan applauded and joked, You are the best at acting among the pipa players, and the best at playing the pipa among the actors.

Lu Xiuling was so teased that she laughed, If you put it that way, I feel that I am useless, and I am not proficient in anything.

Where, your pipa skills can be called a master. Speaking of this, Tang Huan changed the subject proudly. He boasted: Of course, the Pipa Language I found for you is also very suitable for you.

That's true, good works are hard to find. Lu Xiuling smiled sweetly, and then said coquettishly, Why do you come out of the hot spring with such a strong smell?

I answered a phone call temporarily, and I haven't come to rush. ​​Tang Huan laughed, and extended his hand to invite: Let's go, let's go together.

I still want to practice Pipa Language, so as not to make a fool of myself when I play it at the banquet. Lu Xiuling blushed and shook her head repeatedly.

You've played it perfectly. Let's talk about it. One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts, you have to combine work and rest. Tang Huan stretched out his hand persistently.

Lu Xiuling obediently put down her pipa and stood up. with the assistance of men. The straps slipped from the shoulders.

...

Tang Huan seldom organizes banquets in Xiangjiang himself, because almost all the banquets are arranged by a group of careful and diligent executives, and he doesn't need to be distracted, just be in charge and sit in charge.

In comparison, Tang Huan was a little more diligent in Baodao. Every time I come, there will be a banquet to invite political and business celebrities to gather together. Especially for today's banquet, he also specially prepared a program - Lu Xiuling played The Language of the Pipa, accompanied by Li Saifeng, which can be described as wonderful and full of ancient charm.

Mr. Tang's creativity is really refreshing. Yu Guohua, who was sitting next to him, complimented.

I really put a lot of thought into it. Tang Huan nodded slightly, accepting the compliment with peace of mind.

In his opinion, he combined Lu Xiuling and Li Saifeng together, a pipa and a dance, which can definitely be regarded as a strong alliance.

Although Lu Xiuling, Hu Huizhong and other rising stars are hailed as Lin Qingxia's successors, the fact is that they are unwilling to accept the title imposed by the media, and it is difficult for them to replicate Lin Qingxia's brilliance. Certain elements of success are gone forever.

In the original time and space, Lu Xiuling's development in Xiangjiang was not smooth. Even if she devoted herself to art like most female artists at that time, the effect was not great. It is a pity that her unique and outstanding temperament and her appearance are both ancient and modern.

If an artist wants to be successful, he must find a path that suits his own characteristics and style.

Tang Huan's solution for Lu Xiuling was to do the opposite, to regain her musical attainments. The image of Princess Pipa in Phantom of the Tomb: Wrath of the Dragon Emperor is amazing and left a deep impression on the audience.

As for Li Saifeng, as early as 1980, she got in touch with the entertainment industry through the hit TV series The House of Grace from the Earth in Pearl River by Li TV. As a vase, the most recent one is this year's Mr. Zombie. Although it is called the heroine, it is actually a vase that does not have a heavy role in the role, so that I have time to follow Tang in exchange for Baodao, and dance for Lu Xiuling's Pipa Language.

Judging from the actual performance, this classical combination is very interesting, and Tang Huan was secretly proud while admiring it.

Mr. Tang, the Taipei World Trade Center will be completed and opened this year. According to the plan, the first exhibition project to be undertaken is the Information Month Exhibition at the end of this year. At that time, I would like to invite Mr. Tang to lead his companies to join us. Waiting for Lu Xiuling and After Li Saifeng's performance, Yu Guohua turned to the main topic.

Tang Huan was impressed with the Taipei World Trade Center project, because in order to improve the level of undertaking, he purchased a batch of Fangyuan computers with a considerable amount of money to enhance the ability of digital information processing.

In fact, there is another point about the Taipei World Trade Center that is enough to impress Tang Huan, that is, the Xinyi Planning District where it is located is the most important central business district in Taipei, and it is still in the initial stage of development. Judging from the results, it can be said that there are unlimited business opportunities.

After this thought flashed through his mind, Tang Huan patted his chest and promised, President Yu, don't worry, I will send the strongest lineup to support the first show of the Taipei World Trade Center.

Thank you, thank you. Yu Guohua raised his glass with a smile on his face.

After the old man formed the cabinet, during his term of office, major fraud cases and accidents broke out in Baodao, which severely damaged his reputation among the people.

However, Yu Guohua is still very good at economic construction. The average economic growth rate and foreign exchange reserves of Baodao have increased rapidly, but the price of goods has also skyrocketed.

Due to the pollution incident at the RCA Baodao factory, Yu Guohua has also done a lot in environmental protection.

Tang Huan had a few deep conversations with the other party, and got to know the details of the construction of the Xinyi Planning Area.

After a while, Mr. Song also came over, thanked him repeatedly, and said, My brother's TV order is not stingy, and it has given RCA more funds to deal with the environmental pollution incident.

The TV sets that Tang Huan purchased for Funan could not be provided by the mainland, so he handed them over to Baodao, which can be regarded as helping the victims of the rca environmental pollution incident to raise relief funds.

A multinational company like rca has long been an old fox. There is not much money in the account of the Baodao branch. After the relevant departments of Baodao found out, they were a little bit blind at the time.
