Rebirth of the Tech Madman

　　This trip to Asia, although the itinerary was a bit slow, Tang Huan sprinted around the field, recruited talents, gained a lot, and also took the opportunity to seek sexual blessings for himself, which can be described as a worthwhile trip.

　　 As soon as Tang Huan entered his office and sat down, Simeone and Chambers followed and reported on the company's recent situation.

Generally speaking, the company’s internal people are stable, and the work progress of each project team is very good. The outside is fighting tit-for-tat with competitors on various product lines. The dominance of application software on the two major platforms of Mac and CP/M is because The chaos became apparent instead.

Chambers smiled and said an anecdote. Rubinstein went to Apple to find Jobs to talk about cooperation, only to get a "shit" reply. This guy was unscrupulous and went to find Markkula again, but to no avail. Finally.

　　 Tang Huan sneered, "My position on Apple's board of directors is not what these clowns can imagine."

"Now the pattern in the personal computer market is becoming clearer. Apple is the most dazzling hardware manufacturer, and we are the largest independent software supplier. CGrid and WordEasy occupy the position of the best-selling software in various computer magazines. It's been several months." Chambers cocked his fingers and enumerated.

　　 "This is only a temporary appearance. It can be used verbally to build momentum, but I must not be proud and complacent in my heart. I assume that you will understand." Tang Huan poured a pot of cold water on Chambers.

"If HP and IBM launch private-label personal computers next year or the next year, customers will naturally believe in their brand strength and adopt their computers, while our software products will take time to adapt to changes in the underlying hardware architecture. Undoubtedly, there will be an opportunity for the market to reshuffle the cards. If not, it means life and death."

　　 Chambers immediately became serious, glanced at the banner on the wall that "Zheru is only 18 months away from bankruptcy", and said, "When I go back, I have to sound the alarm for the marketing and service staff."

　　 I have to say that the capable subordinates like Simeone and Chambers who are also co-producing with Tang Huan really relieved him.

"If you have free time, go to Apple more to walk around. One is to understand their project progress, and the other is to pay attention to their gains and losses in the process of preparing to go public. We can learn from it." Before Ni and Chambers left, Tang Huan made a special exhortation.

　　...

　　 After Tang Huan had read the two documents, Fan Ning, the steward of the Queen of Ship, knocked on the door and walked in.

　　 "Mr. Tang, I followed your instructions and operated the silver futures. The return was not bad. This is my report. Please take a look." Fanning seemed more respectful than before.

　　 Tang Huan waved to the other party to sit down, while he took the file and looked at it.

　　 Fan Ning, who was assigned to the futures market, has a serious work attitude and there is no trace of perfunctory documents. Tang Huan nodded secretly.

　　 It's a pity, I don't have so much spare money at the moment, or I can make diversified investments.

　　 "Mr. Tang, my host feels that my current investment work is very interesting, so he allocated another three million US dollars to participate together, can you continue to give pointers." Fan Ning asked hopefully.

　　 Tang Huan replied after reading the report, "Your ship king family has a lot of free money, so continue to invest in silver. Remember to withdraw before the end of the year."

　　 Fanning nodded, "So besides silver, are there other investment projects?"

Tang Huan glanced at Fan Ning strangely, "Don't you read the news? Iran in the Middle East has been so turbulent this year. I believe there will be greater changes soon. Crude oil prices will definitely be affected and soar. Since there is spare money. , Then invest."

　　 "That's it?" Fan Ning asked a bit disappointed.

　　 "I can only analyze these data, so be content, it's not bad to have money." Tang Huan nodded sternly, then waved his hand to indicate that the other party can leave.

　　 I was just a little afraid of the so-called Onassis curse, which dismissed the steward of the female ship king farther. Unexpectedly, the other party was still working hard. Tang Huan shook his head helplessly.

　　...

　　 Just sent Fanning away, the front desk called and said that someone who claimed to be Sheldon Adelson wanted to see him about the COMDEX exhibition.

　　 "Please come up." Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and ordered. He happened to have some thoughts about the exhibition, so let's talk to the future king of sands.

　　 Sheldon Adelson, born in 1933 in a Jewish family in Boston, USA.

　　 At the age of 12, Adelson knew how to borrow 200 US dollars from his uncle as capital, rented two stalls, and started his own business by selling newspapers on the street.

　　 At the age of 30, Adelson went to New York to develop and engage in media advertising business.

　　 In 1979, Adelson found that investing in magazines held exhibitions to make money, so through his own investment in a computer magazine, he founded a computer supplier exhibition in Las Vegas, namely COMDEX.

　　 In his previous life, when Adelson's wealth accumulated to its peak, he was second only to Gates and Buffett, and ranked third.

　　 But this person has not yet developed, he is just an ordinary shrewd businessman, facing the imposing boss Tang Huan, he must consciously lower his posture.

Following the development of the original historical trajectory, with the vigorous development of the computer industry in the 1980s, coupled with Adelson’s invitation to celebrities such as Gates and Jobs to give speeches, and the atmosphere of the exhibition activities, COMDEX soon became the world’s largest computer exhibition. .

　　 After the great success of COMDEX, Adelson moved his money-making brains to hotels and gaming industry where exhibitors can live.

　　 In 1989, Adelson bought the old Sands Casino Hotel for US$128 million and built the Sands Exhibition Center. This was the first exhibition center in the United States that was invested and owned by an individual. At this point, Adelson stepped into the gaming industry that he was not familiar with.

　　 In 1991, Adelson began to conceive of copying the water of Venice, Italy, to the desert of Nevada, USA.

　　 For this, he invited architectural historians and painters to participate in the hotel design at any cost. There is a 4 km indoor canal in the hotel, and the famous Canal Plaza is on the bank of the river.

In 1995, for the Venetian Resort’s investment plan, Adelson sold his COMDEX exhibition company to Japan's SoftBank President Son Zhengyi for US$860 million, and then loaned and invested US$1.5 billion to replace the original Sands Casino. The hotel was blown up and rebuilt.

　　 From these data, Tang Huan immediately deduced that Adelson was a businessman with a very adventurous spirit.

　　 It's easy to deal with such a person. You can paint the golden prospect clearly, and as long as he approves it, he will automatically rush forward.

　　 As previously analyzed by Chambers, Zheru is now the largest independent supplier of personal computer software. Adelson pays more attention to it, and he naturally wants to visit it in person.

　　 In history, the first COMDEX had a mediocre effect, attracting only 4,000 visitors. This can also be analyzed from Adelson’s introduction to the exhibition’s preparations.

　　 Tang Huan is not satisfied with the time. He also plans to use this exhibition to launch new products and expand the influence of products.

　　 Seeing Tang Huan frowned, Adelson asked cautiously: "Does Mr. Tang have other opinions?"

　　 "According to your planning plan, it is estimated that the effect of this exhibition will be very general." Tang Huan said bluntly.

　　 Adelson smiled awkwardly, "Is it the first time after all? It will definitely get better in the future."

Tang Huan shook his head, "Don't make excuses. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is like the first impression between people. The reputation of the first exhibition is not good, and you will have to spend more resources to recover. If the gain is not worth the loss, why not do your best to run the first edition. On the other hand, if you make up your mind to run this edition well, I am willing to put the ten-year exhibition fee to your hands at once."

　　 Adelson's eyes flickered, "It seems that Mr. Tang has better suggestions for COMDEX?"

Tang Huan stood up and took two steps, "I think, first of all, you should not limit the exhibition audience to the professional field. You can treat it as an entertainment event for the public to participate. Second, you can encourage manufacturers to participate in the exhibition. Announce new technologies and new products to improve the style of COMDEX. Finally, diversify the publicity methods, such as inviting some industry celebrities to make speeches, and inviting some bands and models to perform to add to the entertainment. Goals to build momentum."

　　 Adelson’s eyes lit up, “Mr. Tang is really a genius who can think of so many ideas. I will immediately go back and adjust the plan. If Mr. Tang is idle, it’s better to serve as a consultant for the exhibition.”

　　 "Yes." Tang Huan nodded happily, filled in a check and handed it over, "This is half of my advance payment. I hope COMDEX will enter the state as soon as possible, and my new product is still looking forward to a stunning appearance."

　　 Adelson accepted the check with a smile, "In order to express my gratitude to Mr. Tang, I will leave the best booth to Zheru."

　　 Watching Adelson leave happily, Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly woke up, I was calling the future "Sands Gambling King" as a younger brother.
