Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Even outsiders don't want to see the ruler of Tang's it kingdom let his own temper go on an adventure, naturally, members of Tang's family are even more opposed.

Aunt Tang Yun specially called Tang Huan, who had attended the Philosophy and Confucianism Developers Conference, to her villa in San Francisco for a lecture.

In the spacious living room, the old lady was sitting in the middle, accompanied by Lin Fengjiao, her little cousin Meng Jing who was studying for a degree at Stanford University, her cousin Han Sining who was about to apply for university, Zhuang Menghua, Tang Wenmao and so on.

The most exaggerated thing is that there is also a circle of small benches with pairs of twins sitting on them.

Jin Chang and Jin Ge produced by Deng Lijun are still lingering in Asia; Jin Ming produced by Lin Fengjiao, Jin Liang became the leader. The appearance of watching the basketball shows that they are not so willing to be obedient and join in the fun of adults; Jinying produced by Zhao Yazhi, Jinjia produced by Jinjie and Lin Qingxia, Jinyan is quiet and sits straight. There; Jinnian and Jinfang, who were produced by Hu Yinmeng, looked after the stroller in a decent manner; Jinwan, Jinxing, produced by Weng Jingjing this year, Jinfang still held a name in his hand that was less than his own. A little bit of Jin Wan's feeding bottle, shaking it gently from time to time.

If it is summer vacation now, there must be four more small benches here for Jinlong, Jinfeng, Jincheng, and Jinna produced by the ship queen Christina.

There is no need to hit the gong with a heavy hammer. Of course, Tang Huan understands what everyone wants to express by putting on such a battle - no matter how absurd it is on weekdays, there is no need to go to the North Pole. Take a look at how you drag your family!

Tang Huan laughed, There's no need for three trials, I'm just talking to the reporter.

Jin Ming shook the basketball in his hand, and interjected, Father, it doesn't matter if you run the train with your mouth full, billions of dollars have been wiped off the stock market all at once.

Tang Huan waved his hand angrily, and rushed out: You little ones, why are you here to join in the fun? Hurry up and play.

The little ones didn't move at all, and turned their eyes to grandma in unison.

Aunt Tang Yun nodded, Jin Ming, Jin Liang, take your younger brothers out and watch Jin Wan, Jin Xing's stroller carefully.

Lin Fengjiao got up quickly, and personally sent Jin Wan and Jin Xing, who were not yet 100 days old, to Weng Jingjing who insisted on staying outside.

When the situation in the living room was no longer so funny, Tang Huan continued: Don't think I'm just fooling around, I naturally have my own considerations, after all, sometimes, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so I have to find someone somewhere to hide.

Aunt Tang Yun snorted dissatisfiedly, Nonsense, who is so capable to drive you to the North Pole?

It depends on how far the situation has developed. Anyway, the signs are not optimistic. Tang Huan sighed inexplicably in everyone's eyes, and continued: Don't argue about this matter in advance. Whether you really want to go to the North Pole, you have to go to the North Pole. It won't be decided until the end of this year depending on the situation. Now that everyone is sitting together, that's fine, why not sort out the family business, and I will transfer some of the assets under my name to the foundation here.

The assets of the Tang family with Tang Huan as the core are mainly properties with low risk and high stability, bonds, and stocks suitable for long-term holding.

However, there is an exception here, which is also the most risky project, that is, Datang Mobile Communications Company, which operates the cellular phone business.

The cellular phone operating licenses issued by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States are divided into two categories, one is for local Bell companies operating local telephone services, and the other is for other competitors to challenge those land-based users. Datang Mobile Communications' cellular phone operating license comes from the latter.

After continuous bidding for licenses, especially after buying the part of the licenses held by MCI, the coverage of Datang Mobile Communications Company has reached about 45 million people.

However, the scramble for a cellular phone operating license does not come to an end here. On the contrary, as its value gradually becomes clear,

It has become more and more intense, and it can even be described as entering the final stage of decisive battle.

Datang Mobile Communications has been providing mobile phone services for several years. In addition to AT\u0026T and Motorola as equipment suppliers, Tang Huan's own Silicon Valley companies have also played an important role.

Logically speaking, this should allow Datang Mobile Communications to save a lot of costs, but the actual situation is that compared with its peers, it only loses a little less every year, but the absolute value is still as high as tens of millions of dollars.

So far, Tang Huan has invested nearly 4 billion US dollars in Datang Mobile Communications.

It can be seen that how much money was spent on cellular phones in the initial stage of development in the United States, which is far from being comparable to the small and densely populated Hong Kong.

But now, some competitors are unable to carry on after the shopping. If they are lucky, they will sell their bargaining chips at a high price, earn a fortune, and exit the market gracefully; if they are miserable, they will be burdened with debts and their future is uncertain.

Under such circumstances, the competition for a cellular phone operating license will cost hundreds of millions of dollars if it is not made, and it will test financial resources even more.

The richest man, who has already set up a structure, no longer wants to fight alone, and is ready to recruit people to share the financial pressure and business risks.

In an industry like communications, Tang Huan can ultimately obtain satisfactory benefits, including retaining at most 30 to 40% of the shares in his hands, keeping the company's brand unchanged, and operating in an independent capacity, etc. Conditions with obvious founder's blood characteristics.

After realizing this point, it will be a matter of time before the Nala people join the group. The reason why it has been delayed until now is mainly because the richest man has not met a partner that satisfies him before. Not everyone who has money can enter his circle, but also needs to have various added values. And now the finalist who meets this condition is British Telecom.

Due to the sale of more than 50% of the stock to the public and the transformation into a private company, British Telecom now holds a lot of cash in its hands and is willing to pay 1.5 billion US dollars to buy 18% of Datang Mobile Communications shares.

Even though Datang Mobile Communications has been losing money in the past few years, the trend is gradually improving. In this field with a bright future, it is commonplace to burn money. It has the golden sign of the richest man, especially since it has not yet been listed publicly. Very favored by British Telecom, which already has a cellular phone business in the UK.

On the other hand, although British Telecom has been privatized, its heritage of hundreds of years can be described as luxuriant, and it can be seen everywhere in the Commonwealth. The richest man, who has become an important shareholder of British Telecom, is almost drooling with envy after learning more about these situations.

Obviously, the choice of Mr. Richest Man and BT to each other is like a man and a woman who fall in love at first sight in a sea of ​​people—they saw each other right.

Tang Wenmao said: British Telecom joined at the right time. The holders of the US cellular phone operating license have reached the final crazy stage of mergers and reorganizations. Lin Broadcasting Company, which cannot support the capital flow, will sell the control of the license in its hands. Right, all parties have already started to move after hearing the news.”

Founded in 1961, lin broadcasting company covers radio, television, direct sales, education, records and other fields. Its name comes from the initials of the cities where the original three stations were located - Louisville, Indianapolis and Nashville, all on Interstate 65.

Lin Broadcasting Company can be regarded as a pioneer in the rush to buy cellular phone operating licenses. It has been doing it since 1983. Its current business scope covers a population of 25 million, second only to Datang Communications Mobile Company and McCaw Cellular Phone Company.

More importantly, the licenses held by lin broadcasting company are mainly concentrated in Dallas, Houston, New York and Philadelphia, and the gold content is too high.

This is also the special feature of the cellular phone operating license - a license in a prosperous area, which contains business opportunities, may even exceed all licenses in a certain state.

The part of the license held by the lin broadcasting company is so important that it has attracted the attention of countless people. Even Southwestern Bell and McCaw Cellular have publicly stated that they are bound to win. On the day of the auction, the situation will definitely be tense. Tang Wenmao Suggested: So, you'd better be able to sit in the town yourself. You know, the ambitious Craig McCaw is almost at the end of the road now, and any crazy move may be done. I'm afraid I can't stand it.

Tang Huan nodded in understanding. He, the richest man in the United States, felt a bit overwhelmed, let alone Craig McCaw.

Although the McCaw Cellular Phone Company went public last year, the amount of financing was only 300 million US dollars, and the amount of debt on Craig McCaw is estimated to be close to 2 billion US dollars.

It can be said that there is only one road left before him, and that is to rush forward desperately, either reaching the finish line, or exhausted, and the epic tragically falls in the last 10 steps.

Under such circumstances, Craig McCaw, who has always been very cunning, will definitely use all means, but Tang Wenmao, who is only the agent of the richest man, will inevitably feel troubled.

How's the situation at BP? Tang Huan turned to ask Zhuang Menghua.

The Kuwait Investment Authority has absorbed almost 30% of BP's shares, and it is getting closer to the goal of taking control. However, the British government has been making rumors of opposition. It is estimated that this time Kuwait The Investment Bureau is eager to invite you to London to discuss this issue. Zhuang Menghua shook his head, Obviously, if the British government thinks that this move will harm the national interests of the UK, and then decides to obstruct it, no one can do anything , it doesn’t matter if you go early or late for a few days.”

That's true. Tang Huan said in a deep voice, Then stay in New York for a few more days and join in the excitement of bidding for the lin broadcasting company's cellular phone license.

...

After calming down the turmoil caused by the Arctic scientific expedition to the family, Tang Huan did not take any clarification actions for Fangyuan Computer Company and EA, whose stock prices were also affected. Instead, he called his cronies together and prepared to fine-tune the power of the entire consortium architecture.

Collecting and using celebrities is not just for a superficial pleasure, but to give full play to the advantages of information asymmetry, judge through existing information, and gather partners with excellent abilities, especially reliable characters, by your side , This is far more reliable than placing a stranger in a position of power!

Tang Huan's decentralization of power to his subordinates is based on this foundation, and it is currently functioning well. He, the richest man, has not become a slave to wealth, and his life can be described as colorful.

Based on the development of the situation, Tang Huan intends to further strengthen the collective management mechanism and set up a management committee to reduce his own workload and at the same time allow the entire Tang Industrial Kingdom to operate more steadily to resist the impact of emergencies.

Tang Huan's process of adjusting power was not as difficult and dangerous as outsiders imagined. As the founder of the kingdom, he presided over a few meetings in person, and then called his subordinates to the office one by one for private communication, and it was basically formed.

At the final summary meeting, Tang Huan signaled the recorder to put down the pen in his hand, and then slowly said: Everyone, according to my personal judgment, in the next few years, the cold war pattern of the two heroes competing for hegemony may undergo major changes. Thus entering the stage of real globalization, the influence of large international companies will increase significantly, further affecting the governments of various countries. Therefore, we need to make preparations in advance, such as changing the registration place of the holding company to adapt to the new international corporate positioning.

Although the words of the big boss are not easy to understand for a while, this decision is only a preparation and will not immediately affect the current company structure, so the plan quickly entered the stage of secret research.

...

It was already mid-May when Tang Huan flew from the west coast of the United States to the east coast of the United States. The footsteps of summer are approaching, and the hot atmosphere at the auction of the lin broadcasting company's cellular phone operating license has already made most people feel like they are in the dog days of sweat.

There are no time-wasting preparation procedures, and everyone's goal is very clear. After the host announced the start, the auction entered the stage of brutal fighting. They kicked away competitors who dared to bid, and then caught each other and pinched each other.

While the auctioneer was muttering non-stop, he didn't forget to look at Datang Mobile Communications, who was sitting at No. 8, and the others were almost the same. Mr. Gein, the richest man who sat in the town himself, kept his eyes closed and fell asleep all the time, and didn't participate in it. .

Everyone understands that no one has time to pay a high security deposit and go to sleep in this noisy place - just because the time has not come!

Just as Southwestern Bell and McCaw Cellular were entangled to raise the quotation to 2.99 billion US dollars, Tang Huan opened his glasses, adjusted his sitting posture, and Tang Wenmao at the side immediately raised his sign.

There was a commotion in the audience, and the auctioneer immediately shouted: No. 8 offers 3.2 billion.

Quotation No. 2, 3.25 billion.

Quotation No. 1, 3.3 billion.

Quotation No. 8, 3.4 billion.

Quotation No. 1, 3.45 billion.

Quotation No. 8, 3.55 billion.

Quotation No. 8, 3.55 billion, the second time.

...

Southwest Bell's representative shook his head in frustration, while Craig McCaw's eyes were red, and he was about to raise his hand when John Malone, the CEO of tci who was the Olympic aid, was pulled into the board of directors of McCaw Cellular Telephone Company by all means. Whispered a few words to him.

...

Quotation No. 8, 3.55 billion, the third time.

Watching the auctioneer drop the hammer heavily, Tang Huan, who got up slowly, ordered lightly: Send a message to Craig McCaw, tell him that those who know the current affairs are brilliant.
