Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

In the past 1985, not only Tang Huan and Jobs entered the year of standing, but even Gates was also 30 years old. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā

Compared with Tang Huan's as always magnificent and low point of life where Jobs fell into the dust, Gates is a bit calm, but his personal achievements are still far beyond his peers; and Microsoft, which has a history of more than 10 years, has come. The node of IPO financing.

At this stage, Microsoft's annual sales have exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. It stands to reason that the small days have been mixed up quite well, but compared with philosophers and lotus, they are not enough. The former is not on the same level, so forget it, but the latter is not so high, which makes Gates always hold the idea of ​​surpassing the other party.

Because Windows 1.0 imitated the MAC, Jobs and Gates fell out, cancelled the secret cooperation with Microsoft on software, and threw the olive branch to Mitchell Kapole, so that the Lotus software can take the tentacles from The IBM-PC platform extends to the MAC platform, and you can imagine the feeling that Gates is on his back.

Fortunately, because Lotus Software succeeded so easily on the IBM-PC platform, Mitchell Kapoel was so confident that he planned to imitate the philosopher to use the spreadsheet software CGrid, the word processing software WordEasy, and the database EBase desktop version. The practice of integrating applications such as PowerPresenter, PowerPresenter, PhotoShop desktop version, and other applications that can interact with each other makes Lotus1-2-3 a packaged software family.

It’s just that not everyone can be the forerunner on the way forward. The aspiring and talented people tend to become martyrs. The Lotus software under the command of Mitchell Kapoor has fallen into the quagmire of slow development progress at this time. Not being able to launch a new version of Lotus1-2-3, so that Microsoft Excel did not encounter competitors on the MAC platform, gained the first mover advantage, and became the number one software on the MAC platform as John Chambers said.

Gates also understands that he won this round of fluke, which was entirely due to Jobs' loss and Lotus Software's decision-making mistakes, which objectively fulfilled Microsoft, so he worked more conscientiously in the bottomless pit of Windows 1.0.

However, all plans will inevitably return to the issue of supporting resources when they are implemented. However, the current situation of Microsoft's listing and financing, which is still fairly good, may be a good solution. It can not only solve the funding problem, but also motivate Microsoft employees.

"John Sculley vigorously wins over Gates in order to find office software support for the MAC platform, but gives Microsoft another opportunity to make it more and more proficient in various camps." Tang Huan smiled and concluded: "In terms of operating system. , IBM-PC and its compatible platform have MS-DOS and Windows1.0, and Fangyuan PC platform has Xenix. In terms of application software, although MultiPlan was completely defeated by Lotus1-2-3, a new Excel appeared. I found spring on the MAC platform again. Investors like this company with bright prospects the most, and Microsoft has indeed caught a good time to go public."

"Apple secretly digs into our corners in businesses such as desktop publishing, and Microsoft helps it make up for its shortcomings in the field of office software. How should we eliminate these unpredictable guys without leaving a word." John Chambers He brought the problem back to the point of view of his own concern.

"Keeping these little fishes to a certain extent is actually a kind of protection for us." Tang Huan said leisurely: "When our Fangyuan computer standards really dominate the world, you will find their loveliness even more. "

"But how do you control this degree?" John Chambers showed a distressed look on his face, "If you slap too hard, you will be said to be bullying the big, but you can't help but teach it when necessary."

"Then it depends on the wisdom of your CEO." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "In fact, it is simple to sum up, that is, to let others know that our bottom line must not be touched, and at the same time we are willing to abide by our rules. Come and play. We have not tasted the sweetness in new areas, but new areas need more participants. For example, after the 32-bit architecture has been initially promoted step by step, multimedia applications will be formally put on the agenda next."

John Chambers nodded his head to signal to understand, then stood up and said, "I want to discuss the OCPC educational computer with Don Estelitch. In retrospect, it feels quite weird. At the beginning, everyone was a tit-for-tat enemy. Thinking of now becoming a teammate standing in a trench."

"Don't let IBM hear these words." Tang Huan joked: "Otherwise, it will really lose its face."

After the meeting broke up in laughter, Tang Huan picked up the phone and called Tang Wenmao and Zhuang Menghua. Because attending the Hundreds of People's Association activities is basically Tang Huan's private affairs, so the people who come to wait for dispatch are also from within the Tang family.

"Just let me talk about any recent IPO activities worthy of attention." After sitting down, Tang Huanyi asked Zhuang Menghua, who was in charge of paying attention to the capital market, with a pointed smile.

"Microsoft or Oracle, which one are you interested in?" Of course, Zhuang Menghua understood the direction of Tang Huan's attention, so she asked rhetorically.

When Tang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but stunned slightly, "Is Oracle, a company that specializes in research and development and sales of databases, going public this year?"

"Yes." Zhuang Menghua nodded, "Oracle, which focuses on the mainframe and minicomputer markets, is not as compelling as Microsoft in the personal computer field, but its prospects are also optimistic by the investment community."

"Then let's discuss it together." Tang Huan nodded slightly in relief. He slightly ignored Larry Ellison's Oracle company, but it is really not very good now, although the sales performance is quite good.

"According to the Nasdaq schedule and Goldman Sachs intelligence, the two IT companies, Oracle and Microsoft, are likely to be listed next to each other in mid-March." Zhuang Menghua introduced with hand in hand: "The former plans to raise funds. 31.5 million US dollars, the latter’s shareholding is more concentrated, the two founders Gates accounted for 45%, Paul Allen accounted for 25%, plus employee priority subscription, public circulation The ratio is more conservative."

"What you mean is that there is no need to take action when they IPO," Tang Huan said in thought.

"There is no need to join in this excitement." Zhuang Menghua replied confidently, "Even if you are optimistic about the personal abilities of Gates and Larry Ellison and want to secretly influence their company, there is no need to rush for a while. It doesn’t threaten your capital, and I believe it won’t take long. After investors’ pursuit, their stock prices will definitely fall, and it’s not too late to enter the market.”

"That's true." Tang Huan laughed, "Then leave them alone. We also have a company to go public. How are PeopleSoft's preparations going?"

PeopleSoft was established based on the huge EBase application software department separated from Philosophy and combined with some other resources.

After this reorganization, the greatly reduced EBase department can pay more attention to the technical issues of the computer database itself, while PeopleSoft will concentrate all its energy around the EBase database, including ERP-enterprise resource planning, CRM-customer relationship management, hotel management And other information management systems, and has formed a strategic cooperative relationship with Arthur Young Accounting Firm, one of the eight largest firms in the world.

Because of its profound background, PeopleSoft quickly grew into another prestigious independent software vendor, and in order to further expand its business scope, it also inevitably embarked on a long journey of IPO.

"With Louis Gerstner in control, you can rest assured." Zhuang Menghua smiled, "Don't worry, the IPO will definitely not be compared to Oracle and Microsoft."

"You have become a roundworm in my stomach. It's so straightforward." Tang Huan rubbed his nose and brought the topic to more secret investment matters.

...

The Spring Festival in 1986 was February 9th, and Tang Huan remained on the East Coast of the United States, in order to continue to interact with the members of the Hundreds of Peoples Association on this traditional holiday-after all, the iron must be hot.

In order to accommodate the family's schedule, many members of the Tang family, including aunt Tang Yun, Lin Fengjiao, and a group of bear children, also came to New York. Naturally, Tang Huan did not buy less property here, and it was easy to settle down.

A little bit special is that Tang Huan called the female ship king Christina and her children from Europe, and seriously suggested: "You five, stay in the United States until May."

Christina was not happy at the time, "Why? AC Milan is about to win this season, I still have to watch the match."

"Didn't you hire the club manager? Just give him full responsibility." Tang Huan waved his hand disapprovingly, then took his only daughter, Athena, and kissed him.

The little princess, who has been more than two years old this year, is sculpted and clever, and with the advantage of "the rare thing is precious", it can be described as a collection of thousands of favorites.

Christina's attention was immediately drawn to the child, "Okay, if you stay with us all the time, you will stay at the end of the year on the American side, no problem."

Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Your mother and son cannot stay in Europe in the first half of the year, but I will go to Germany to participate in the Hannover Industrial Exhibition."

Having said that, Tang Huan made a resolute gesture, "Don't ask so many why, my arrangement makes sense."

Seeing the man being so solemn, Christina nodded obediently, "Well, I'll just listen to you, anyway, I haven't lived in New York specifically for a long time."

...

At this time, "The Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Formations" has been released in the United States for more than a week. Because this is the traditional off-season and the competition is relatively limited, so "The Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Formations" is not surprisingly in the first week, sitting on the throne of the weekend box office.

Although American audiences and film critics have mixed praises and criticisms about the story of "The Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Formations", they have shown great interest in some of its characteristic elements, such as gossip.

It can be said that due to special historical reasons, Americans' cognition of Eastern culture is often borrowed from the hands of the Japanese, as if it has become the orthodox of Eastern culture.

Now, the "Phantom of the Tomb" series is changing the inertial thinking in people's minds.

Taking advantage of the popularity of "Phantom of the Tomb: Eight Arrays", EA launched a gossip combo game similar to astrology, several of which were placed in Fools' Wharf in San Francisco.

At the beginning, Apple's first-generation machines sold in the form of semi-finished circuit boards were once taken to Fools' Wharf so amused.

Now this kind of astrology game launched by EA, by virtue of its high playability, has really won many players.

When reporters deliberately surrounded Tang Huan, they once raised a very different question, "Tom, who has mastered the gossip, announced that he would return to the United States and apply for a patent for this invention to become a billionaire. Should IBM be him? It's established."

Tang Huan was amused and laughed, "I prefer Fangyuan Computer Company to have such a long history."

...

Originally, although he was busy on the east coast, Tang Huan had a very happy life, but unexpectedly, a disappointing incident suddenly appeared-Pacific Telecom was hacked by hackers, which caused the user information in the database to be leaked.
