Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

From the perspective of God who takes over the overall situation, in this era of rapid change, the reason why IBM is in trouble is mainly because the kind of successful operation that once raised itself to the altar has formed an inertia that has not changed for decades, and put itself Totally bound.

At this time, ibm needs a decisive ZTE overlord to break the stereotypes and keep pace with the times.

It is a pity that IBM is not controlled by a certain family. Even the old Watson had very few shares in his hands. The reason why he was able to monopolize the power was because he, the founder, had the ability to make Wall Street trust him; Little Watson, to a large extent, has been shadowed by his father.

After that, the Watson family gave up the top position, and Frank Cary, John Opel, and John Akers took over one after another, all professional executives trained from within IBM.

Wall Street, who is used to raising pigs and killing pigs, may have a sense of mission for a pig—even if the breed is absolutely good? What's more, the other big fat pig - Fang Yuan, is already fully qualified to replace it.

Little Watson is still alive, and he can also exert influence with Frank Cary and others as the emperor of the ether, but it is not the right way at all, and there is only one result-it doesn't help.

The current CEO of IBM, John Akers, naturally cannot be an incompetent person. After he took office, he focused his energy on reforming the really terrible bureaucratic malpractices within IBM. But he himself is an executive trained by ibm, a native ibm person, a fan of the authorities, and even some problems that need to be solved urgently, in his view, it is normal and there is no need for change. A pot of raw rice.

Because of this kind of thankless effort, John Akers has been under a lot of pressure, including Frank Cary, the former CEO of IBM. In their view, the first problem that ibm should solve is how to defeat its opponents.

Tang Huan, who once kindly proposed the split strategy, can also jump out and continue to point fingers, Idiots, at this time ibm needs to parachute a ruthless person with a broad vision from the outside to be the leader, otherwise, even if it cuts expenses, Reducing costs can only be done on paper. Among other things, the lifelong employment system that has become a huge burden, which native IBM executive has the courage to abolish it.”

It is obvious that the richest man will help IBM rebirth when he is full of food. It is in his best interest to dismantle this old monster who does not eat oil and salt.

Of course, the shrewd Wall Street may also find a panacea for the terminally ill IBM, so Tang Huan can only wait and see optimistically.

In fact, when the once invincible blue giant was about to collapse, Tang Huan was not as happy as his subordinates imagined. Because he had to consider, in the next round the standard personal computer would become a real In the era of the mainstream of the world, what should I do.

History is the best teacher.

It is by no means alarmist. IBM's yesterday and today are very likely to be Fangyuan's tomorrow - an industry monopoly on the cusp of public criticism.

No matter how many commendable brilliance you have created, being in this position is a sin in itself.

For my brainchild,

Tang Huan is naturally full of emotion and sense of mission, hoping that he can also achieve great achievements for a century, instead of being greedy and demanding like Wall Street.

However, such a question cannot have a simple answer, and there is no rush, and now Tang Huan still has a lot of spoils from Black Monday to deal with.

Recently, Yang Shoucheng has just changed to a decent car - a Rolls Royce. He used to prefer Mercedes-Benz, but when HSBC took over all assets a few years ago, he was run over by the other party saying that he is no longer worthy of sitting. Only successful people can. With the Mercedes-Benz I own, I have left a psychological shadow, and I no longer favor this brand.

Taking a puff of the cigar comfortably, Yang Shoucheng looked at the Rolls-Royce with satisfaction, feeling that the old scenery had finally returned, and he couldn't help saying to himself, If there is a chance, I have to change to a beautiful license plate.

The younger brother who was in charge of carrying the bag jokingly said, When the Hong Kong government auctions the license plate again, the boss will also buy a single-digit license plate like that of Sir Shao and Tang's richest man.

Do you want others to ridicule that I don't know the heights of heaven and earth? Yang Shoucheng cursed with a smile, and then asked, Has all the notifications been in place?

Everything is ready, the only thing missing is your windfall. The younger brother opened the car door swiftly.

Then let's go. Yang Shoucheng straightened his face and ordered in a deep voice.

...

The destination of this trip was the HSBC Headquarters Building in Central, Hong Kong Island, but after driving less than half the distance, they were blocked on the road.

Yang Shoucheng raised his hand to look at his watch, frowned and complained: This road is not blocked on weekdays, so it must be that some gold shop was robbed by some provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers.

Let me go to the front to see what's going on? The younger brother volunteered to get out of the car and trot forward.

Yang Shoucheng squinted his eyes and kept deducing the plan in his mind. After a while, he heard the panting younger brother open the car door and report: Boss, traffic will be open soon. Someone jumped from the building ahead, and the police are dealing with it.

Then get in the car and wait for a while. Yang Shoucheng nodded slightly.

Boss... The pale little brother said hesitantly, Why don't I blow some air outside first, when I rushed over just now, I happened to see that person jumping down from the upstairs, I really didn't expect that the voice would be so loud Big, brains...

Speaking of this, the younger brother retched several times, obviously he didn't want to mention that scene again.

You useless things, hurry up and get in the car. Yang Shoucheng snorted, and threw a newspaper over, Look at this, since the stock market crash, is there a day when no one jumped off the building? If you can't stand it, just Spit on it.

I'd rather cover my mouth with a newspaper than dirty the car. The younger brother got into the car embarrassingly.

...

The Rolls-Royce parked steadily, and Yang Shoucheng cautiously picked up his leather bag, got out of the car, and walked slowly towards the entrance of the HSBC Building.

When passing the two famous bronze lions, he deliberately stopped to look at them, and sneered playfully: Steven, Shi Di, you may have to move again. Also, Stephen, my boss said , the way you yell is really ugly!

After entering the business hall, Yang Shoucheng casually found a free window and walked over, took out a folder from his purse, handed it over with great determination, and said flatly, Withdraw money.

Just looking at the first few deposit receipts, the dignified female salesperson immediately became nervous, Sir, your business needs to go through a special process, and I don't have the corresponding authorization at this window. Before you came, didn't you contact the manager to make an appointment? ?”

Nonsense, I'm just here to play games. How can I follow the procedures you set up honestly and strictly. Yang Shoucheng, who laughed jokingly in his heart, said calmly: I have already called, and the answer I got is Just come to the window today to handle it.

How is it possible. The female salesperson blurted out.

You mean, am I lying? Yang Shoucheng's face suddenly darkened.

You misunderstood, I didn't mean that. The female salesperson quickly apologized, Just wait a moment, I will report to the manager immediately.

Almost as soon as he turned around, the manager appeared, but he was only sweating, and asked tentatively, Mr. Yang, which manager did you contact before?

I don't remember so much. Yang Shoucheng stared impatiently, Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to spend money.

At this time, there were more than a dozen burly men in black suits and sunglasses standing behind Yang Shoucheng. The brand-new lockboxes in their hands were even more eye-catching.

Others in the business hall have noticed this scene and started whispering.

...

What, is this going to be filming the new God of Gamblers and The True Colors of Heroes?

I haven't heard of it.

Probably not, you didn't see that person, it's not Zhou Runfa at all.

Now that Zhou Runfa's film salary is so high, it's possible for the film company to change people.

...

Glancing at the security guards standing in the distance, Yang Shoucheng urged with his nostrils up, What do you mean by telling me to just wait?

We are reporting to the higher authorities. The manager brought over the coffee with a strong aroma with a smile, How about we go to the VIP room to talk.

If you go to the VIP room, the commotion will be less. Yang Shoucheng muttered something in his heart, and refused politely: I just like the openness here.

...

In the office of the Chairman of the Board of HSBC, Pu Weishi was anxiously waiting for news from the United States.

The outside world may not be aware of it, but this HSBC executive has a clear mind. Starting from Black Monday, the stock market crash that has been raging around the world has dragged HSBC into a quagmire.

One of the main reasons is that HSBC, the mastermind behind the scenes, spent tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the previous acquisition process of several major listed companies in the Qinhe series.

The situation of other partners is easier to talk about. After all, they are all consortium-level bosses with enough background to back them up, but Liu Luanxiong is in trouble. This shrewd guy refuses to use his own name for loans during the critical stage of the war. I just want to be a trader of HSBC, which makes HSBC's precious cash disappear with the plummeting Hang Seng Index, turning it into a huge bad debt.

Until now, Pu Weishi is still looking up to the sky and lamenting: It is only a small step away, and Qinhe will actually lose control of Xiangjiang Electric, Dairy International, Oriental Hotel, and Qinhe Infrastructure. However, God does not want the beauty of adults!

What made Pu Weishi even more worried was that Tang Huan, who was hidden behind Yu Qin and a series of companies, seemed not to be greatly affected by the global stock market crash, and even had spare power to retaliate, such as the Oceanic Bank of the United States.

Finally, New York sent back the news overnight: At least 40% of the shares of Oceanic Bank of America were concentrated in the hands of a mysterious investment company, making it the second largest bank of Oceanic America under HSBC. Shareholders, and the other party has formally offered conditions, either to carry out a comprehensive acquisition, or to reorganize the board of directors.

The three-bench strategy covering Asia, Europe, and America is the core of HSBC's international transformation. However, the spheres of influence in Europe and the Americas have been divided up long ago, and outsiders are not welcome to grab food. is also like this.

If HSBC wants to settle in these places where the business environment is already perfect, it can only find a desperate soft persimmon, lure it with benefits, and take it slowly, and the opportunity is rare, as is the case with Ocean Bank of America.

Since breaking through various legal obstacles in 1980 and acquiring 51% of Oceanic Bank of the United States, HSBC has invested billions of dollars in this poorly managed money-losing product.

After spending so much effort, the only goal is to wait for the opportunity to fully acquire Oceanic Bank of the United States, and eventually merge it to become HSBC America.

But now a spoiler who hits a snake and hits seven inches suddenly appears, it's really disgusting!

Pu Weishi just uttered a foul language, and the British side also tried their best to send the confirmed news: Midland Bank, the youngest of the four major banks in the UK, was called by Li Di, an investment company below, The bottom-buying acquisition took away 14.9% of the shares, and the two parties have already launched related negotiations.

This is absolutely deliberate. Pu Weishi slapped the table angrily.

British Midland Bank is to Europe what Ocean Bank is to the Americas, and it is an indispensable part of HSBC's three benches internationalization strategy. In particular, the former also has the special significance of HSBC being able to return home.

Since 1981, when HSBC tried to acquire the Royal Bank of Scotland and was rejected by the British Monopoly and Mergers Commission, HSBC has been carefully looking for the next target, and Midland Bank has almost become the only choice, and then kept paying attention. Unexpectedly Or suddenly Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. 》≠miào》≠bi》≠gé》≠,

This should be Tang Huan's handwriting, otherwise others would not be so deliberate. Pu Weishi said to himself angrily.

At this moment, the subordinate came to bother him with no winks, There is a customer in the business hall below, and he wants to withdraw 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash immediately.

Upon hearing this, Pu Weishi was taken aback, and cursed: What are you doing to eat? Why don't you keep an eye on such an important and large account?

The other party brought a pile of deposit receipts and related authorization documents. The subordinate replied weakly: Now he is making a fuss in the business hall, and no one can deal with it.

A bunch of idiots! Pu Weishi laughed angrily, Why, do I need to come forward in person?

The subordinate didn't say a word, but the meaning was clearly in his eyes: Don't put on airs, 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash is enough for the HSBC Taipan to personally meet any unknown person.

This is definitely a series of conspiracies. After Pu Weishi said through gritted teeth, he walked out angrily.
