Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Speaking carefully, Mr. Richest is the sufferer of many rb companies including Toshiba-even little things like Nintendo are not worth mentioning.

For example, nec's pc9800 series of personal computers was launched roughly at the same time as the ibm-pc in the United States, but it fell directly on the way to the start. The ibm-pc was defeated by Fangyuan PC, and the media even lamented it, but rb's local PC industry was directly bombarded by Fangyuan PC to death, without even a sigh of condolence.

For another example, it is not as simple as simply losing the market advantages of home video recorders and broadcast TV level video recorders, as well as the dominance of traditional video technology and the ascendant digital video technology. Lithium-ion batteries, which are indispensable for electronic products, have also clearly lost the first-mover opportunity.

Similar to Sony, Toshiba, an industrial giant that produced a large number of combat preparations for rb militarism during World War II, also missed the first of flash memory and notebook computers. These records are all surnamed Tang.

The food in the IT circle is becoming more and more important to Toshiba, which originally had both wings of heavy electromechanical manufacturing and consumer electronics products. Its semiconductor department and nec semiconductor department have been holding the second place in the ranking of global semiconductor manufacturers in recent years. The first one illustrates the trend of changes in the product revenue structure.

In other words, Tang Huan cut off people everywhere, causing many large rb companies to fall into a passive situation without knowing it.

Of course, there are also some R\u0026B companies that have benefited from Mr. Richest Man’s favor—the successful mergers and acquisitions of Epson, Taito, and Yamaha Musical Instruments. Needless to say, Sharp and Kyocera are all beneficiaries, especially the former’s advantages in LCD , far ahead of other competitors.

It can be said that Tang Huan also has his own solid interest alliance in rb, and the members in this circle live a very nourishing life because of this. Although it is not as good as Toshiba to the Mitsui Zaibatsu, as far as the IT ecosystem is concerned, it can be said to be the best.

Therefore, when Aoi Shuyi saw Tang Huan, he repeatedly said, I'm taking the liberty to visit, it's abrupt, and it's not surprising that he showed humility regardless of the age difference.

President Qingjing, you are welcome. You must have a necessary reason for coming to me in such a busy schedule. I also want to thank you for trusting me. Tang Huan exchanged greetings calmly, and he really couldn't figure out the other party in his heart. the goal of.

It is reported that Sony's plan to acquire Columbia has passed the test here? Aoi Shuyi asked tentatively.

Tang Huan did not hide anything, nodded, and replied: In principle, I am optimistic, and Sony also said that it will give sincere opinions.

I believe the negotiation time will not be too long.

To tell the truth, after entering the 1980s, Toshiba has been trying to transform its strategy, so it is also interested in solutions for mass entertainment consumption, such as VCD. Aoi Shuichi stated the purpose without delay.

Tang Huan nodded slightly. The rhetoric that Toshiba is undergoing strategic transformation is not a smoke bomb, which can be seen from the change of its brand.

As early as 1939, Tokyo Electric and Shibaura Manufacturing Co., Ltd. officially merged to become today's Toshiba. The new names are the initials of the two companies, and their English names are also merged according to the Japanese pinyin - 'to' stands for Japanese '东' pronunciation, 'sh

However, it was not until 1984 that the new brand name Toshiba began to be officially used, which reflected its increasing emphasis on its own brand.

Compared with Panasonic's channel construction and Sony's brand building, Toshiba is much inferior in this regard.

Previously, for home appliances such as TVs, Toshiba entered the US market through cooperation with US retail giant Sears, which was an OEM model.

As it gradually gained a firm foothold in the international market, Toshiba planned to bypass middlemen like Sears and consider creating its own brand, which opened the curtain of strategic transformation.

Tang Huan directly presented the real situation and said: Since President Aoi is interested in VCD, he must be clear that the product is not treated like a blockbuster in the world's major markets such as the United States, Europe, and rb. Compared with Today, the home video recorder still reigns supreme.

Although home video recorders are still the mainstream in the market, the performance of VCDs is still very good. Wouldn't Laserdiscs become more and more marginalized? Shuichi Aoi, who had been prepared for a long time, affirmed VCDs: VCDs The displayed functions such as multi-channel, subtitles, menu operation, random search, copyright protection, etc. are far more comprehensive and powerful than other competitors, which indicates that digital video must be the general trend of the market, and now the only difference is the video quality It is on par with home video recorders, but constraints such as price and source of programs still need to be improved.”

Speaking of this, Aoi Shuichi concluded very optimistically: But this passive situation is only temporary. As long as the rumored vcd2.0 version comes out, it will definitely surpass the video recorder in terms of picture quality and sound quality; At that time, the supporting mechanisms such as prices and program sources have also been established naturally.

Aoi Shuichi's tone became more enthusiastic, Everything is under Tang's control, and from various indications, what Tang is doing should be to break the traditional home appliances such as TVs and products such as computers, game consoles, and karaoke. The barriers between them will be unified on the platform of digital technology. This is also the direction that Toshiba is pursuing, and we both have the best foundation for cooperation.”

Tang Huan finally figured it out, Qingjing Shuyi found himself quietly, and it turned out that he planned to play the kind of alliance game that rb company is best at. However, more than ten years after the original time and space, Toshiba has suffered a crushing defeat in the competition of high-definition formats-such bad luck, there will be no infection.

Mr. Richest, who had various thoughts flashed through his mind, said with a playful smile: President Aoi's opinion on vcd makes me feel like I have met a confidant. But when will Toshiba's current troubles be resolved? I don't want to There were the same flaws as Toshiba.

Aoi Shuichi certainly understood what Tang Chang meant by the trouble, and he replied firmly: Toshiba admits its mistake and admits its punishment, and at the same time spends a lot of money on public relations in the United States, and the United States is about to change its president. I believe this little trouble will soon be over. It has become a passing cloud. After all, the United States cannot do without RB and is backed by the Mitsui Zaibatsu. Toshiba really has the confidence. I believe this should also be the general mentality of the current RB elite. After secretly muttering, Tang Huan nodded and said: President Aoi I am very honored for your proposal, but I still need to make some preparations. Next, I am going to RB, why don't we discuss it in detail at that time, and leave me a buffer for evaluation, how about it?

Of course Tang needs time to think about it, but... Shuichi Aoi humbly asked: In the meantime, please make sure that Toshiba is the priority for negotiation. I guarantee that Toshiba will show the greatest sincerity in cooperation.

...

After Qingjing Shuyi left, his uncle Han Anyuan came over accompanied by Jin Ming and Jin Liang, and said with a smile: While rb people are arrogant, they are also very good at exploiting.

Everyone gets what they need. Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, The Asian Development Bank controlled by rb people spreads money everywhere, so they can maintain this network well, and they can save a lot of energy by pulling some in Funan.

Han Anyuan smiled wryly: You think Gods of Wealth such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank are so easy to borrow money. Behind every loan, there are political and economic additional conditions.

The more open Funan is, the more stable your power will be. Tang Huan pointed out the mystery.

The two didn't say a few words, the assistant came to report again, and the chairman of the International Olympic Committee Samaranch came to visit.

You are really good at talking and laughing here. Han Anyuan shook his head with a smile, Okay, I won't bother you here, there are still many things to be busy at hand.

Tang Huan nodded, and told Jin Ming and Jin Liang, I have a task for you. During this time in Korea, take good care of your uncle for me.

Han Anyuan laughed and touched the tops of Jin Ming and Jin Liang's heads, and said with emotion: Looking at it, the generation of Jin Chang, Jin Ge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang has also grown up.

...

Samaranch naturally went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. He was running around for the 25th Summer Olympics held in his hometown of Barcelona in 1992, and wanted to make the Olympic boom of the Seoul Olympics visible and tangible. , to Spain.

Super billionaires like Tang Huan are rare, but super billionaires who have a good relationship with him and have great enthusiasm for sports are even more rare. Naturally, Samaranch will not miss the opportunity to invest in Barcelona Chance.

The richest man smiled wryly and said: I am indeed a little conservative in investing in the next Olympic Games, mainly because of the relationship with Spain. Due to the ownership of the Spanish treasure ships from the age of great voyages, there is always a gap. Participate cautiously in real estate projects.”

The next Olympic Games will be held in Barcelona, ​​and Barcelona and even Catalonia, I can assure you, will be very friendly to Don. Samaranch, who was born in politics and has a non-negligible influence in Barcelona, ​​swore: Don, you have to know that Catalonia has great autonomy, and the attitude of Spain does not mean the attitude of Catalonia and Barcelona.

Tang Huan nodded. He believed in this point. After all, in the original time and space, Catalonia was to Spain, similar to Scotland to the United Kingdom. The two giants in China-Barcelona and Real Madrid's needle-tip confrontation also more or less reflect this trend of division.

The reason why Spain has such a situation stems from the historical fact that its embryonic form was achieved through the marriage of Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of the United Kingdom of Aragon. At that time, Aragon and Castile still retains its own traditions and political institutions. It was only due to various complicated reasons that Spain's political power gradually tilted towards Castile, and the Kingdom of Spain centered on it was further formed; region, Catalonia is naturally dissatisfied.

In general, as long as there is no political risk, investing in Barcelona and even Catalonia can indeed make a fortune, and even find opportunities to eliminate the gap with Spain.

While expressing his trust in Samaranch and his willingness to invest in the preparations for the Barcelona Olympic Games, Tang Huan implicitly suggested that he would like to give the other party a favor. One is that Funan is also willing to vigorously develop sports, and the other is that he wants to give Nerikin Find a decent job with an international sports organization.

Samaranch's political quality is absolutely excellent, otherwise, he would not be able to mediate, coordinate and organize the extremely glamorous and lively Olympic Games. He said unequivocally: Funan is willing to vigorously develop sports, and the International Olympic Committee should support it; as a world-renowned gymnastics Olympic champion, it is quite logical for Nelkin to want to work in an international sports organization. gone.

Soon, the two reached an agreement, and finally broke up happily.

...

At this Olympic Games, the South Korean women's gymnastics team won a gold medal and made history when traditional strong teams such as the Soviet Union and East Germany appeared together. It's also time, and after she has saved her career capital, there is no need to continue to stay in South Korea. Tang Huan arranged for her to return to Europe, the mainstream region of the world.

Speaking of which, the richest man is absolutely affectionate and righteous to Neelkin.

For example, the Chernobyl nuclear accident polluted most of Belarus. Tang Huan, who was busy with affairs, did not forget to send Nelgin's parents, younger sister, younger brother and other relatives to Moscow, away from the frightening source of nuclear pollution in the legend.

Therefore, for Tang Huan's arrangement, Nelkin obeyed and accepted some additional tasks without hesitation.

...

After settling down with this obedient woman, Tang Huan first took a detour and went to Baodao, where the political arena was in turmoil. Seeing that his property was not affected, he returned to rb. .

Although the dust of this capital operation has not yet settled, it has inevitably spread in rb, and Akio Morita, the leader, naturally has a soaring popularity.

What's more intriguing is that the book Rb Can Say No co-authored with the well-known rb politician Shintaro Ishihara also took advantage of the opportunity to meet with the public and catered to the microbiology of some rb elites under the climate of rb's rapid economic growth.

Tang Huan held the best-selling book in his hand, flipping through it playfully.
