Rebirth of the Tech Madman

The more beautiful the scene is now, the more adequate the preparations have been done before. The so-called signing is really only a form. The key is to interact skillfully with the outside world to convey your intentions.

Takeshi Fukuzawa, president of Mitsubishi Estate, said very seriously: We are very lucky to be able to manage Rockefeller Center with Tang-this is a perfect transaction that everyone is happy with.

Federal Senator Jay Rockefeller said bluntly: The return of the control of Rockefeller Center to the United States is a matter of great significance-it and Don's status as the world's richest man are a natural pair.

These people come and go and talk a lot, and the meaning in the words, summed up, is actually simple.

One person wants to emphasize—don’t get it wrong, we are not retreating, and the two Rockefeller Buildings we still have in our hands are the best proof. As for this transaction, it was due to Tang's request, so it was difficult to refuse.

Jay Rockefeller pointed out that such a great building as Rockefeller Center should be owned by the richest man, no matter whether the richest man is the Rockefeller family or the Tang family.

After everyone had finished their mouth addiction under the eyes of everyone, the smiling rich man spoke modestly: For me, the acquisition of Rockefeller Center is an accident and an honor. In the next management During the process, I will instruct the responsible team to combine the opinions of professionals and the general public to maximize the humanistic spirit and commercial value of this national historic landmark.

Because the supporting lineup was already strong enough, Tang Huan didn't try to show off any more. After the ceremonial process was over, his new owner began to visit Rockefeller Center.

This group of buildings spanning several blocks is very large, and of course it is impossible for Mr. Richest Man to walk through them one by one. He inspected the most important parts of Rockefeller Center, such as the General Electric Building.

As the central part of the Rockefeller Center complex, the General Electric Building has 70 floors above ground and a height of 259 meters. It ranks among the top 10 in New York and the top 30 in the United States.

Originally, the General Electric Building was the headquarters of RCA and was called the RCA Building. However, RCA was divided between General Electric and Tang Huan—Among them, Tang Huan only needed a small part of assets including semiconductors, liquid crystals, home appliances, etc., and General Electric took most of RCA's assets, so the headquarters naturally couldn't escape. So in 1988, the RCA Building was replaced by the General Electric Building.

In addition to the headquarters of General Electric, the General Electric Building also has the headquarters of the National Broadcasting Corporation, and even the 54th to 56th floors have long been the offices of the Rockefeller family-this shows the special status of this building.

General Electric CEO Jack Welch's office is on the 51st floor of the General Electric Building. When Tang Huan saw him, he joked, I'm now a neighbor of General Electric.

Jack Welch was very depressed. When General Electric acquired rca, Tang Huan took advantage of the fire and took away a lot of good things in technology and patents, so that he had the idea of ​​dealing with difficult opponents as little as possible. Unexpectedly, in just 10 years, he became the owner of the Rockefeller Center - I will see you again.

Are you going to arrange an office here? Jack Welch asked boldly.

I haven't thought about it yet. The richest man shook his head, I'm going to the viewing platform above - 'Top of the Rock' to have a look, so I'm asking you, do you want to go together?

Tang Huan even took the initiative to invite him, so Jack Welch could not refuse, so he could only happily accompany him.

I heard that after General Electric introduced the management method of six sigma, the effect is satisfactory? Mr. Richest Man asked casually, In the future, we need to communicate more in this field.

Six Sigma, also known as Six Sigma, is a series of tools and procedures for process improvement. It belongs to a business management strategy. It was started by Motorola and Tang Huan in the 1980s.

Continuous exploration, summarization and improvement, after entering the 1990s, it has become a climate, and the world's top 500 companies have begun to adopt it to improve their competitiveness.

Why can the economy take off to become the second in the world? To a large extent, it has benefited from the excellent quality control of the entire national industrial system.

It can be said that this set of theoretical system of quality control, which originated in the United States, is enshrined as a holy book, and proved to be effective, is an important basis for six sigma. Motorola added improvements such as professionalization of quality control personnel, and Tang Huan further combined lean production methods and implemented four major categories of supporting software: analysis, project management, implementation methods, and data collation.

The two names Six Sigma and Six Sigma reflect the contributions made by Tang Huan and Motorola, and have become their respective registered service marks.

In terms of effect, what effect six standard deviations can achieve can be reflected through a simple data indicator, that is, the percentage of product defects - the first level of six standard deviations is 69%, and the second level of six standard deviations is 31% , The six standard deviations of the third grade are 6.7%, the six standard deviations of the fourth grade are 0.62%, the six standard deviations of the fifth grade are 0.023%, the six standard deviations of the sixth grade are 0.00034%, and the six standard deviations of the seventh grade are 0.0000019% .

Of course, Six Sigma is mainly applicable to large enterprises, because for companies with less than 500 employees, it is not worth the loss just to spend the first sum of money required for Six Sigma infrastructure. After all, if the scale does not increase, the room for cost sharing will not be so large.

Fangyuan Company has a large number of products, the supply chain is all over the world, and the difficulty of quality control can be imagined. However, in the past ten years, there have been only a handful of product accidents that have caused large-scale impact. The most well-known one, that is, when the third-generation Fangyuan personal computer was first launched, there was display distortion caused by excessive heat generation.

According to Fangyuan, six sigma saved itself billions of dollars.

After Jack Welch took office, he carried out drastic reforms to General Electric. The adoption of six sigma in management was one of his major moves.

Of course that's fine. Jack Welch admired sincerely: Fangyuan Company is in the forefront in this regard, and it is a recognized model in the industry.

General Electric also has a lot to learn from. Tang Huan immediately praised.

He was not speaking flattery, but the truth. You know, there is no end to the science of management—six sigma is only a small achievement now. With the changes brought about by trends such as the increasing use of industrial robots and the globalization of factories, Six Sigma must continue to advance.

While they were talking, they came to the top floor of the General Electric Building, where the viewing platform - Top of the Rock was located.

The 86th floor of the Empire State Building also has a similar viewing platform, and the effect is obviously better than the 70th floor of the General Electric Building. For example, the movie Sleepless in Seattle takes it as an important scene.

Under such competitive pressure, Top of the Rock has been closed for many years. The reason is the same as if a small company implements six sigma and finds that it can’t make ends meet, the passenger flow is taken away by the Empire State Building, and the operating expenses can’t make ends meet, so what if you don’t close the doors? If it weren't for the arrival of the new owner, the richest man, there would still be no one interested in this place.

Standing with hands behind his back, Tang Huan looked around and had a panoramic view of the whole New York City, with a sense of heroism, except for the rising stars such as the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center, which were too tall to be an eyesore.

Could it be that you want to rearrange this place? Jack Welch asked curiously.

Tang Huan nodded, You still remember the story of the famous black and white photo Lunch on the Roof of a Skyscraper, right?

The photo he is referring to was taken on September 20, 1932.

There are 11 men in the photo, sitting on the girder on the roof of the skyscraper, the girder is as high as 256 meters from the street below, and they are not protected by any safety belts, and their legs are just dangling freely come and go.

This photo is purely a publicity stunt, and the way to capture the public's psychology is that the United States was in the Great Depression at that time, and people didn't even consider safety issues in order to find jobs.

Sure enough, Lunch on the Roof of a Skyscraper became famous all at once and became a memory of an era.

Of course. Jack Welch laughed, Don't you want to open a restaurant here? It doesn't seem like there are too many new ideas.

Tang Huan didn't refute, and said directly: I just bought the glass negative of Luncheon on the Roof of a Skyscraper, and I plan to repair the viewing platform of 'Top of the Rock' into a simulated cruise ship, allowing visitors A whole new experience, a bird's-eye view of New York City.

Jack Welch joked: How do I feel, you and the boat are on the bar.

At this time, the photographer asked them to pose and take pictures.

...

The next day, the photo of Mr. the richest man standing on the Top of the Rock appeared in major newspapers in the United States; Time also used this photo on the cover, and the title was exactly the same - Rockefeller Center Re-opening Back to America's Embrace.

It seems that the American media is still brooding over the fact that one person bought the Rockefeller Center, and has deep resentment. Now they coincidentally carry out reactionary calculations, and describe Tang Huan as a superhero invisibly.

An obvious sign of the great achievements of the richest man is that he is rich.

The Forbes 400 Rich List released just now and the Forbes Global Rich List announced in the first half of the year, for him who is firmly ranked first, the significance is only to refresh the statistical data every six months.

The media relished that the richest man spent about 1.6 billion US dollars to buy back the Rockefeller Building, and he would renovate the Top of the Rock to reopen this obsolete viewing platform, and only this expenditure , It needs more than 70 million US dollars.

With Tang Huan being so rich and keeping his promises so well, Rockefeller Center suddenly became full of vitality.

Still unfinished, the media continued to dig and break the news—the richest man who planned to build Top of the Rock into a simulated cruise ship, his interest in the ship was unexpectedly high, and he had proposed to the US military several times to acquire the decommissioned aircraft carrier, but unfortunately All to no avail.

According to the observations of the media, the richest man has been fond of aircraft carriers since the 1990s.

The USS Midway, decommissioned in 1992, became his first target. It didn't work out.

Next, the richest man continued to pursue the Forrester, which was decommissioned in 1993, but this aircraft carrier would rather be dismantled at the price of 1 cent, and did not respond to his enthusiasm.

This year, the richest man has taken a fancy to the decommissioned USS Saratoga aircraft carrier again, and it is estimated that the prospects are still not very optimistic.

It is said that despite repeated setbacks, he still did not change his original intention, so much so that he turned his attention to the former Soviet Union countries such as Russia and Ukraine.

You can hide it once or twice, but it's hard to play low-key the third time.

The U.S. military, which has been explored by the media several times, finally gave an official official explanation at the latest regular press conference - the reason why the aircraft carrier would rather be dismantled into scrap iron than sold to Tang Huan is because the aircraft carrier There are strict regulations for decommissioning, and Tang Huan not only does not meet the qualifications, he also requires to retain the power of the decommissioned aircraft carrier for a short period of time to cooperate with filming, and then choose a place to stay permanently and convert it into an aircraft carrier hotel.

Mr. Richest’s response to this is acquiescing—I’m only interested in the aircraft carrier, but further details are not disclosed, which is also in line with his consistent style of doing things.

filming? Build an aircraft carrier hotel?

This news brought the media into a continuous state of excitement—Mr. Richest Man is so cute, and he can contribute high-quality topics to improve our performance every year.

However, although building an aircraft carrier hotel is a bit exaggerated, it is easy to accept, but what movie needs to buy a decommissioned aircraft carrier to decorate the facade?

Could it be that Daheng Tang is going to shoot a war movie?

Next year will be 1995, which happens to be the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. Half a century of commemoration is of great significance, and the filming of related movies is also appropriate.

The reporters tracked down this line of thought and found that there are really traces to follow: James Cameron, the director of the hot movie True Lies this summer, often appears next to Mr. Richest Man. This frequency is really intriguing.

Once the richest man played the trick of don't let strangers in, the reporters really had no choice but to chase and intercept James Cameron, trying to open a breakthrough.

Although the film output is not high, James Cameron, who has gained both fame and wealth and prosperity only by virtue of the Terminator series and True Lies, has a strict tone, and when he was forced to rush, he just said haha : War movies? No, I like to make romance movies, disaster movies...

In this way, this topic was kicked like a football, until the richest man sat on Silicon Valley One and really went to Europe, and there was no definite result.
