Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 640: CeBIT appointment and 6 sigma

...

The infrastructure of Funan is already backward, and with the damage caused by the war, it is infinitely close to a blank sheet of paper. ¥℉, so Tang Huan asked Xiangjiang Electric to build a central power plant in Hanouk Port, and the equipment supplier chose Siemens.

Without IBM’s 20% of Intel’s shares, Siemens’ acquisition of Intel’s entire acquisition has suddenly become more difficult, and the other party is worried about possible management shocks and corporate culture conflicts that may ensue, which has led to conflicts. Emotions, the plan has basically been stranded.

What comforted the desperately defeated Siemens was that before leaving, it unexpectedly got an order for power plant equipment, which finally saved a bit of face.

In any case, the business is taking the lead, and Siemens CEO Karlheinz Kask warmly welcomed the arrival of the richest man.

After Tang Huan asked the relevant personnel of Xiangjiang Electric who was in charge of this project, he turned his work focus back to the IT field.

In this global trip, the focus in Asia is on the supply chain, while the focus in Europe is on sales.

Electronic data exchange within enterprises in Germany, France, Italy and other countries, B2B e-commerce between various links in the manufacturing industry cluster, product design in the manufacturing industry... and other application fields, including ERP, network, graphics workstations, etc. The demand for various IT solutions is increasing day by day.

The new round of product line upgrades from low-end to high-end driven by 32-bit Fangyuan personal computers is to further compete for market share in this category.

In other words, Tang Huan walked around Siemens, not only buying but also selling.

Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt are all the places Tang Huan will visit during this trip to Germany.

When passing by Mercedes-Benz, Tang Huan happened to have completed the bulletproof car customized for his brother Han Anyuan, and he hurriedly arranged the transportation in person.

Tang Huan stayed in Frankfurt for a little longer. Gein is essentially the economic capital of Germany and even the European continent. Important institutions such as the Central Bank of West Germany and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange are all located here.

Tang Huan's multi-language ability has this benefit. You can talk almost anywhere, and you have a wide range of business cards, and you need a secretary to set up files for management.

Among many people in the economic circles, the Deutsche Messe AG and his party seem to be quite special. They came to talk to Tang Huan.

It turned out that Deutsche Messe AG was the organizer of the Hannover Messe, and this world's largest industrial technology fair, which began in 1947, is brewing a very important change.

In the early days, there was a place for information technology and information engineering at the Hannover Messe.

In 1970. This small exhibition was officially renamed CeBIT Information and Communication Technology Expo. Deutsche Messe AG has added a new hall 1 specifically for it near the north entrance of the exhibition hall.

However, the speed of development of computer technology far exceeded the organizers' expectations. By the Hannover Messe in 1980, the number of exhibitors coming to CeBIT, the display platform, had grown to second only to the number of exhibitors in the field of electronic engineering.

Although Deutsche Messe AG has added a temporary exhibition hall, it still cannot accommodate all the exhibitors who signed up. At the same time, the size of the booth area can no longer meet the needs of exhibitors.

Take Hannover Messe, which has just passed this year, the "Big Mac" scale of nearly 7,000 exhibitors and more than 800,000 spectators has increasingly highlighted the contradiction of insufficient reception capacity.

And here, CeBIT contributed 1,300 IT exhibitors. However, there are still 870 companies that are not allowed to participate due to their reception capacity, and the number of visitors is close to 300,000.

Obviously, CeBIT, the original small branch of the Hannover Messe, has grown to the point where it urgently needs to be re-planned, or to stand alone.

In November 1984, the overwhelmed Deutsche Messe AG finally announced that from 1986, CeBIT will be held as an independent exhibition in March each year, one month ahead of the Hannover Messe held in April each year.

This decision caused a lot of controversy, especially at this year's Hannover Messe. Become the number one topic of discussion.

Proponents believe that CeBIT alone can expand the exhibition area and improve infrastructure construction;

Opponents believe that CeBIT is independent. Without the support of the entire industrial background, it will lose its original appeal and influence.

This worry is not about being indifferent to the past, but there is some truth in it.

After all, in the final analysis, a computer is a tool that serves traditional industries; there is no such premise. It will become a tree without roots, water without a source.

At this stage, people's attention to computing technology needs to be gradually increased. The strong industrial background of Hannover Messe is just the best "sourcing" capital.

But no matter how well the opponents have reasons, it is impossible for Deutsche Messe AG to invest unlimitedly in hardware facilities such as exhibition halls. Simply dividing into two is the most effective and economical solution. Why not use it?

Of course, Deutsche Messe takes a very low attitude and actively communicates with the chief executives of important exhibitors and the leaders of relevant industry associations.

Tang Huan’s IT industry actively participates in the popular DEX in the United States and is naturally a frequent visitor to the Hannover Messe in Europe.

However, the difference between the two exhibitions is still very obvious. DEX is relatively professional in the IT field, and Hannover Messe has a more solid foundation.

In particular, the latter’s organizer, Deutsche Messe AG, has its own exhibition hall, and Lower Saxony and Hanover jointly own the company’s shares, thus ensuring its operational nature.

On the contrary, the organizer of the former is a commercial company whose goal is to make profits entirely.

Perhaps this is also the main reason for the rapid decline of DEX after the 21st century in the original time and space, and the growing popularity of CeBIT.

Deutsche Messe AG came to the door this time. Naturally, it is not simply to communicate about CeBIT's decision to separate from the Hannover Messe. The level of seeking understanding is not so high that it will be specifically in front of the big boss Tang Huan, and it has always been there. Someone is handling it.

The real purpose of the Germans is to hope that the richest man will not only understand his decision, but also strongly support the first CeBIT to be held next spring.

You must know that in Tang Huan's IT industry, not only video games are marginal roles, but even personal computers on the surface are only a small part. The whole set of application solutions in the fields of office automation, communications, and electricity are the big ones. And the leading advantage has been recognized by the industry.

The resulting appeal of the industry is what CeBIT urgently needs, and it is inseparable from the strong support of large exhibitors.

Judging from the subordinate's evaluation report and the actual effect in the original time and space, CeBIT's solo flight is not a bad thing. Therefore, Tang Huan didn't worry about it, and happily sent a favor, and promised to send an unprecedented scale of exhibitors next year.

Anyway. The upcoming release of the 32-bit fourth-generation Fangyuan personal computer is just the beginning. Next, a larger and longer-lasting promotion is needed.

Tang Huangang successfully promoted his artificial intelligence query system to Deutsche Messe AG, and Zhou Zhong and Zhang Ruimin and his team came to Frankfurt, the gateway to Europe for a turning point.

Tang Huan made the business investigation group organized by Zheru Xiangjiang Company a purely money-consuming activity, but the expenses are also worth the money. The benefits of localized operation can only be expected and unspeakable.

From the spring European expedition to be prepared after the Lunar New Year, one of the main names and targets is naturally the famous Hannover Messe.

However, Zhou Zhong and Zhang Ruimin just caught up with the last train of the European delegation in the spring and did not see the Hannover Messe. The itinerary was mainly to visit European municipal construction and corporate management. But the harvest has been great enough, and Zhou Chong praised him, "I originally made a psychological preparation for the possibility of poor communication. I didn't expect the tour guides, translators and other staff of your inspection group to be so professional."

"My student assistance program has been around for five years, and it's time to start harvesting talents." Tang Huan laughed and suggested instead: "Since you are finished with official duties, it is better to relax and go traveling."

"The time for coming out this time is not short, and the visa is troublesome, and the impact is not good." Zhou Zhong waved his hand and refused.

"It's because it's not easy to get out. You have to take a look, not to mention that you will get some inspiration even if you wander around and watch the flowers like ordinary people."

While talking, Tang Huan took a copy of the information. "I think you should go to Northern Europe, especially Sweden. The island city is a beautiful tourist city. You can't just focus on industrial development and overdraw the environment. Two wheels and four wheels have their own ways. .Perhaps, the sustainable development achievements there can give you some enlightenment."

Seeing that Tang Huan was taking the matter seriously, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Because the status of an official was really restricted, the itinerary could not be changed randomly.

"The economic construction in the mainland is the most appropriate to describe it as crossing the river by feeling the stones. Many people use the nearest Xiangjiang as a model for learning from experience, but the most successful place in this small place may be the unity of unity. High land prices and various financing methods are of limited significance." Tang Huan put the information in Zhou Zhong's hands, and finally added.

"You, you will give me problems." Zhou Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After persuading Zhou Zhong, Tang Huan chatted with Zhang Ruimin again, and the other party bluntly said: "After this trip, I feel more and more that even though we have established quality awareness, we still cannot communicate with foreign countries in terms of technology and capital. Is on par with their peers."

Tang Huan raised his brows and asked with interest, "What should I do?"

Zhang Ruimin scratched his head embarrassedly, "I only have one immature idea, which is to use crowd tactics and use the most sincere service to make up for and catch up."

Tang Huan laughed, turned his head and said to Zhou Zhong: "Just at this point, I want to invest."

Zhou Zhong jokingly said: "I can see, among us, who do you admire most? It seems that we are still in the light of Director Zhang."

Tang Huan nodded slightly and said to Zhang Ruimin, who was a little embarrassed: "Don't be so anxious to go back, drop by and go to the United States with me."

Zhang Ruimin hesitated and said, "A large group of people at the factory are still waiting for the rice to be cooked. I'm afraid they are in a hurry."

Tang Huan waved his hand disapprovingly, "I am optimistic about your abilities before investing. As for your hometown, you can relax. Just do nothing for half a year. There is no problem with eating or drinking. The key is that you are the leader. A set of mature business ideas must be formed in the head."

Zhang Ruimin glanced at it carefully, and when he saw the leader nodded, "Let's listen to Boss Tang's arrangements. Didn't he tell you to introduce RCA's home appliance business to you? This time I will go to the United States for a good inspection."

"These are all small problems." Tang Huan smiled faintly, "I am jointly researching and implementing a set of quality management system called Six Sigma with Motorola. My side is mainly responsible for the implementation of computer management tools. This method has absorbed Edwards. ·The successful theories and applications of Deming and others can be regarded as a masterpiece. You must know that the reason why Japanese products are now occupying many markets around the world is largely because Edwards Deming went to the 1950s. Japan teaches quality management, and it is eagerly adopted by Japanese companies. If you visit this time, you can try to absorb what you can use from it."

Zhang Ruimin tentatively asked, "Mr. Tang wants me to introduce this Six Sigma into the Qindao Refrigerator Factory?"

"No~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It really only needs to absorb what can be used." Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "The implementation of Six Sigma requires a lot of business, and you can understand it as more suitable. A company like the Fortune 500. After all, a thumbtack is enough to press with a finger, but it would be a bad thing to hit it with a hammer."

"Do you understand? Boss Tang Da despise us." Zhou Zhong smiled: "You go to the United States this time, and strive to attract RCA's excellent technology and good products. Anyway, the richest man will pay the bill. Liebherr will be us. It’s cheap labor. If it doesn’t work, I don’t want this so-called teacher."

Zhang Ruimin just laughed honestly. His own leader has a close relationship with the richest man in front of him. He can make jokes casually, but he can't. He hasn't been familiar with it yet.

Things in Europe are almost handled. Tang Huan intends to take Zhang Ruimin to the United States, but suddenly received a call for help. Stephen Hawking’s wife Jean Wilder told him that his husband was in critical condition. , I heard that Tang Huan was in Europe, so I wanted to meet him.
