Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"My starting point is very simple. mci can play a very positive catfish effect and help it tide over the difficulties, which is good for the entire market." Tang Huan replied awe-inspiringly.

"Tang, you are already qualified to run for governor and congressman." William McGovern sneered. "With your heart to help the federal government, you should consider trying it."

Hearing the other party's move, Tang Huan didn't think he shrugged, "I'm not interested in politics. Maybe, I can let my son think about it in the future."

After taking a sip from the cup, Tang Huan continued: "You and I are both top contenders in the market. Of course, your thinking cannot be limited to the level of ordinary people. You brought out the mci, so it is William. McGovern’s company. For the same reason, Fangyuan and Zheru can also be called my company. However, it is difficult for an acquired company like Pacific Telecom to achieve such a degree of intimacy."

"For example?" William McGovern asked with interest.

"If you need to sacrifice partial benefits for the overall benefit, or if you need to sacrifice immediate benefits for the long-term benefit, then my company will naturally implement it without hesitation, but other companies will have to spend some setbacks." Tang Huan slowly explained Said: "In my opinion, due to the obvious monopoly advantage, Bell's companies, including Pacific Telecom, are a bit lazy."

"It's hard for me to believe this statement." William McGovern laughed. "You know, Pacific Telecom is currently the most active communications company using new technologies."

Tang Huan snorted, "That can only show that my leadership skills are brilliant."

"Well, I admire this." William McGovern nodded, then opened the document and looked at it.

Seeing William McGovern scanning the files patiently, Tang Huan was secretly relieved.

In fact, he desperately wanted the cell phone operating license in mci's hand. Gein's resources are quite limited. If you grab a bit, others will have less.

But William McGovern, who was able to compete with AT&T until it was dismantled, is not easy to fool; Craig McCaw, who is also eyeing these license plates, is also an aggressive shopping adventurer who throws money. The guts cannot be underestimated.

In other words, Tang Huan is not like William McGovern and Craig McCaw as it appears on the surface. His advantage is that he has many cards in his hand and has a comprehensive influence.

"I believe that Tang really wants to help mci for his own benefit." William McGovern closed the file and said in a deep voice, "But you are too smart in business. While others are making a little bit of money, you To make more. Indeed, your offer has increased by US$10 million, but you can sell a package of technical solutions. If mci does adopt it, wouldn’t the US$10 million return to your hands very quickly?"

"I know that the cash flow of mci is relatively tight at the moment." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "this time reflects the value of'my company'. If mci decides to adopt my technical solution, the payment time can be discussed. Delay appropriately."

"Prior to this, mci did not buy less products from'your company' including Fangyuan Computer." William McGovern raised his brows. "But what is unique about your package of technical solutions?"

"Mci can grow to today's height, and your genius management is inseparable." Tang Huan first praised William McGovern, and then pointed out the other party's shortcomings, "but occasional considerations are inevitable, such as The level of adoption of the latest digital age technology."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan asked seriously: "I have paid attention to the reasons why mci is now passive. Do you think that the new AT&T company can directly fight a price war with mci?"

"It's not that the federal government has let go of control, and it can naturally rely on strong financial resources to easily equalize the previous tariff gap." William McGovern replied very annoyed.

"Then do you think that mci can effectively control operating costs by simply layoffs?" Tang Huan returned William McGovern's previous mockery. "To tell you the truth, rely on me from Pacific Telecom. According to the experience gained, AT&T may not be making money at a loss. Bell Labs provides a large number of practical technical results for it, which is enough to greatly reduce operating costs."

Seeing that William McGovern’s face suddenly became very ugly, Tang Huan ignored the other’s heart disease and continued to sprinkle salt on the wound: “In the early 1980s, mci’s network construction cost approximately US$1,000 per mile; what about What are the indicators now, won’t they also rise with the current prices and stock prices?"

"In this way, your package of technical solutions can help mci make great improvements in this regard?" William McGovern's voice sounded a little hoarse.

Tang Huan didn't dare to continue to stimulate the old man. He didn't want the other party to report directly to the hospital after leaving the house, so he gave the answer very happily: "Of course. You must know that the most advanced digital exchange technology can make new The data throughput capacity of the equipment has doubled, which has caused the unit cost of network construction to fall sharply, which in turn caused the profits of operators such as mci and Pacific Telecom to soar."

William McGovern thought for a moment, and finally made a final decision: "Airsignal, a subsidiary of mci, sold you for $140 million. If I can safely get off the operating table and return to work, Just implement the package plan you mentioned."

"I believe that you will soon recover your health and return to the mall to be a mastermind." Tang Huan expressed sincere blessings.

"Then I will borrow your good words." William McGovern stretched out his very shriveled hand and grasped it with Tang Huan's well-proportioned and full of vitality.

"It's nice to be young!" The old man who was about to be on the operating table sighed with emotion.

...

William McGovern is a vigorous businessman, and his time is not very abundant, so the transaction process was completed as quickly as possible. McGovern received the first phase of 70 million US dollars in cash, and its subsidiary airsignal also handed over it. In Tang Huan's hands.

"How is it, have the data been calculated?" Tang Huan put down the airsignal report and asked.

"There is a result." Tang Wenmao replied: "In the current market, the average cost of a cell phone license is about US$20 per person. The airsignal, which we spent 140 million US dollars to acquire, has a cell phone license. Covering 700 people, on average, the cost is exactly $20."

"The business of airsignal consists of two parts-paging and cellular phones. I have contacted buyers. If you sell the former, you can recover at least 75 million US dollars. The cost per head of the cellular phone license will be reduced to Under $10."

"The fees paid by Pacific Telecom for each ‘head’ in California range from US$25 to US$30. Comparing the two, this transaction is really a bargain.”

Tang Huan said lazily: "We spend the family's own money, which cannot be compared with Pacific Telecom."

"The scattered cellular phone licenses on the market have almost been divided up. The next step is the integration process of big fish eating small fish, just like the development of the cable TV industry." Zhuang Menghua, a senior student of Harvard Business School, analyzed: "Although we Just over a year after the yen’s appreciation, I made a lot of money, but the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and you are also asking for a large-scale cash reserve this year from now on, which is quite a bit of pressure. Why don’t you list this company on the market? Anyway, as long as it firmly controls its controlling rights, the color of the family industry will not change."

"Listing is of course a necessary process." Tang Huan nodded in agreement, "Family industry does not mean that it must be closed to eat alone, and it is almost impossible to achieve this in the mobile communications field."

The mci business was only an appetizer in the resignation of the old and the new year, and it was quickly overwhelmed, and the topic shifted to other areas, especially the California high-speed rail.

Affected by the “Iran Gate” scandal, in the midterm elections in the United States, the Republican Party of the United States was defeated across the board. The House of Representatives and the Senate were all controlled by the Democratic Party. During the last two years of his term, President Ronald Reagan was in an embarrassing situation. "Grungy Duck President".

The situation here in California is a microcosm. Governor George Dockmejian is a Republican, but California's House of Representatives and Senate are also in the hands of Democrats, but the contradictions are not as sharp as the federal level.

Just in 1987, at the beginning of this year, George Dockmejian was sworn in and his second term was fulfilled. Tang Huan went to Sacramento to observe the ceremony.

In the "State Information" and the annual budget, George Dockmejian emphasized the important value of the California high-speed rail project. The two houses of California did not make things difficult, and the California High Speed ​​Rail Bureau led by Jerry Brown announced that the official start date would be in February.

In short, the resistance of the California high-speed rail project has been defeated, and the next problems that need to be faced mainly come from the technical field of the project itself.

Losing money and earning praise, Japan must also build a model of high-speed rail output. Invisibly, Tang Huan’s large amount of resources reserved for the California high-speed rail project fell into the empty space, which happened to be reserved this year.

Feeling picking up a big bargain, Zhuang Menghua said very happily: "The European side is sour, but who makes them inferior to Japan's ‘sincerity’."

Tang Huan couldn't help but shook his head, "At this time, I can't get cheap and sell well. When I go to Europe this year, I will communicate with relevant parties."

"Fox Plaza, the real estate project of 20th Century Fox, is about to be officially opened. First lady Nancy plans to visit in the near future to confirm whether President Reagan's personal office is suitable for setting up there." Tang Wenmao said of another matter.

"I'll entertain myself." Tang Huan said after looking at the itinerary: "The governor of California also has an American president. Reagan's halo effect is more than the remaining two years of the presidential term."

"Perhaps, we can provide some medical and health care facilities in the office to make it more convenient for the elderly presidential couple when they are there." Zhuang Menghua suggested.

"Good." Tang Huan nodded and agreed, "This star customer must be won."

...

This year's Lunar New Year's Eve comes very early, on January 29. Tang Huan did not run around like last year, staying on the East Coast of the United States for a long time, and stayed in San Francisco this year. However, he did not patronize the New Year at home, but organized the Chinese elite in the United States-a meeting of a hundred people.

"Ea's game creation is really all-encompassing. The Bank of China Tower has not been completed, so I contacted my office to quote it in the game." During the chat, Pei joked.

"That's not because Pei's design is unique, and it will inevitably become an unforgettable landmark." Tang Huan laughed, "ea is creating a video game called "Simulation City"~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We need to collect models of various famous buildings, and hope that Mr. Pei and Bank of China will not charge copyright fees."

"Really, the richer you are, the more stingy you are." Pei I.M. shook his head and laughed. ⑧☆miào⑧☆bi(.*)gé⑧☆.＄.

According to the design plan, the Bank of China Tower has 70 floors and a height of 315 meters. It will become the tallest building in Xiangjiang and Asia in the next few years, as well as the tallest skyscraper outside the United States.

This record is nothing, after all, after a few years of work, it may be surpassed by other buildings.

The real feature of the Bank of China Tower is embodied in the design. Its appearance is prismatic, like the "rising" bamboo shoots, symbolizing the spirit of strength, vitality, vigor and forge Representing China.

Structurally, the corners of the Bank of China Building are supported by four reinforced concrete columns. The triangular frame transfers the pressure of the entire building to the four columns, and the outside is covered with glass curtain walls.

Although the Bank of China Tower has not yet been completed, the unique exterior design shown in the renderings is enough to make it the most eye-catching landmark in Xiangjiang.

"I really want to thank you for the powerful functions provided by your Fangyuan graphics workstation in terms of CAD. Compared with previous projects, I save a lot of effort here." Pei I.M. sighed depressed after a few heartfelt compliments. "Unfortunately, the smooth progress on my side did not promote the overall construction of the Bank of China Tower. It was originally planned to be completed on August 8, 1988, but due to various factors, it is estimated that it will be delayed. Years have passed."

"Inflation in Xiangjiang has been obvious in recent years, and delays in construction schedules are indeed not a good thing." Tang Huan nodded sympathetically, and swallowed some other words without saying clearly.
