Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Located in the heart of San Francisco, the St. Francis Hotel has a history that can be traced back to 1904. It is another time-honored hotel founded by the family of the "Four Tycoons of Railways" and has hosted countless celebrities including heads of state from all over the world.

It is worth mentioning that when American presidents settle in San Francisco, they usually stay at another famous hotel-Fairmont Hotel, while Republicans stay at the St. Francis Hotel. The current President Reagan is its Regulars.

The St. Francis Hotel is extremely strategically located, only about 2.5 kilometers away from the famous Fisherman’s Wharf. The surrounding landscape also includes Union Square, San Francisco City Hall, Transamerica Pyramid, etc.

It is conceivable how popular the St. Francis Hotel is on weekdays, but today it is even more prosperous. The reception hosted by the richest man in the United States, Tang Huan, who Gein has paid attention to, is here.

Among the gathered guests, those reporters who participated in the investment in the media briefing have become a group with a rather special background. After all, this reception is not open to the media.

Fortunately, Jack is such a member, able to participate in such a top social event for the first time in his life.

The middle-aged Jack is an ordinary reporter of the Fang Family Newspaper Group in San Francisco, and his life is not bad or bad.

Fang's newspaper industry belongs to the "Tang-Tang faction" who has a close relationship with Tang Huan. Jack also agreed with this position. So at the media briefing that day, he had just received his salary and invested 200 in his head. U.S. dollars, but when she got home, she was scolded by his wife Ruth, which became a joke in the company—want to get rich and crazy.

Because of this, Jack was really depressed for a while.

However, after receiving the $1,000 check, thank-you letter, and invitation letter, Jack straightened his chest and exclaimed, "I see it, this is the vision!"

His wife Ruth also became an obedient little sheep, urging her husband Jack to quickly take the $1,000 check to the bank and exchange it.

But Jack had other ideas. He planned to save this check and thank you letter signed by Tang Huan as a collection.

"What's so great about the signature of America's richest man." Ruth, the more realistic wife, immediately expressed opposition, "In my opinion, you just want to treat it as a boring capital that you can use to brag about in the future."

As a result, the two quarreled again, and in the end it was because they found that the invitation letter was too attractive, so Mingjin retreated.

Next, the husband and wife spent several days, carefully preparing a head.

Before going out today, they made various promises to coax the children to agree to stay at home honestly and not be a monster.

All the trivial matters entangled in reality were arranged, and Jack and Ruth came to this long-awaited banquet with ease.

...

At the entrance of the St. Francis Hotel, Jack, who was held by his wife Ruth, handed his invitation card gracefully.

After reading it, the waiter returned the invitation card, and respectfully said to the well-dressed couple: "Sir, ma'am, please come in. At the entrance of the grand banquet hall, you can get a gift with this invitation card."

After walking into the hotel, Ruth, who seemed not to squint, whispered to her husband: "This place should be specially arranged in accordance with the requirements of the host of the reception."

"Of course." Jack nodded slightly and replied softly: "Look at the number of luxury cars outside, and you can know how high the specifications of this event are."

Ruth continued to gossip: "Look, there are a lot of '8'-shaped embellishments here. Is this the beginning to welcome the arrival of 1988?"

"I don't know, '8' is also a number that the richest man likes. There are also rumors that the computer financial analysis model project I invested in before made 800 million US dollars from the capital market." Jack said coquettishly : "So, at this reception, the number '8' has a special meaning."

Ruth moved closer to Jack, her eyes full of admiration, "Wow, husband, you know so much".

At the entrance of the grand banquet hall, there are even bigger surprises waiting for the couple. There was a small mountain-like exquisite packaging box, which suddenly made Ruth's gaze even more brilliant.

"Have you seen it?" Ruth asked her husband in a low voice after glancing at a gap that no one noticed.

Jack swallowed and murmured, "I see it, there are mobile phones, laptops, PDAs, video game consoles, CD players, home video recorders..."

This time, Ruth handed the invitation card to the waiter.

I saw the other party skillfully holding the invitation card, sliding it across a machine, and then there was a crisp "di" sound, and then came back to a mobile phone and said enthusiastically: "Thank you for coming. A little gift , No respect, madam, please accept it, and wish you have fun and win lucky prizes in the next game session."

Ruth took the gift with a smile on her face and walked into the grand banquet hall with Jack. After finding a place to sit down, she gave it to her husband to examine it.

"Motorola's mobile phone Dynatac has a retail price of US$3,995." Jack said excitedly.

He has long been eager for such a high-tech communication tool that represents futurism, but unfortunately he is reluctant to buy it and reluctant to use it. Gein is also a symbol of wealth.

Ruth suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes rolled grunting, and she looked around the crowd in the banquet hall, "You said, how many people did you invite for today's reception?"

"It won't be less than 500." Jack replied without thinking about the professional qualities of a reporter.

"Then you can get a mobile phone for every invitation. Doesn't it mean that this gift alone will cost millions of dollars?" Ruth also showed the mathematics talent of housewives.

Jack of course realized the luxury of this reception, opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say.

"Moreover, there are so many other prizes out there." Ruth said yearningly: "If we are lucky enough to get two, Christmas gifts can save a lot of money."

"Then I have to start praying to Goddess of Luck now, and I don't know if it's too late." Jack shrugged.

Among the crowd, Ruth, who caught the back of the party host, Tang Huan, became gossip again and muttered to her husband: "You said, the richest man, he really made 800 million US dollars on Black Monday. Huh? Otherwise, how could the cocktail party be so cost-free."

"Who knows. Some people infer that since Tang trusts his computer financial analysis model so much, the investment is definitely not limited to the apparent operation of the project team, that is, not only made the rumored 800 million US dollars. However, what did it make? How much should not have much to do with the specifications of this reception. I have done a lot of reports on Tang, and I know that he has always been generous-almost every university in California has scholarships set up by him." Jack seemed a little bit when he answered. Absent-minded. Gein looked at the mobile phone, thinking about how to prevent his wife from realizing it.

...

It's not just a small person like Ruth that is curious about Tang Huan, the host of the cocktail party. The fall and rise of wealth of the richest man in this major stock market disaster has become an addition and subtraction problem that everyone is fascinated by.

Especially those elites in banking, securities, insurance and other fields who appeared at the reception have a more important task, which is to get the financial analysis model of Tang's richest man.

In the warm atmosphere, the reception officially began.

Tang Huan, who was in good spirits, walked onto the stage with the brisk band accompaniment, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to come."

"A lot of people are curious, why are there so many ‘8’ decorations at the cocktail party? Could it be that they have really made 800 million US dollars recently, so they use this form to show off to everyone?"

In the laughter of the audience, Tang Huan placed a small object with the number '8' flat, and then explained: "The number '8' is my favorite number. Please see, everyone, now it becomes Created a symbol for infinity,'∞'. I prefer to give it a humanistic meaning outside of mathematics."

"In addition, 1988 is coming soon. This will be the tenth year of my career. I can't help feeling very emotional."

"There must be people complaining. You said it for a long time, so hurry up and get dry goods. The rumor that you recently made 800 million US dollars using computer financial models is true or false?"

Hearing this, the guests all pricked their ears.

"Sorry everyone, I still can't respond to this. Because my team told me that although this is a good advertising gimmick, it is also very likely to cause tricky troubles. Many people are beginning to pay attention to our financial analysis model. In case of misleading, a good thing turns into a bad thing."

"Let's stop this topic. I just want to say that as a tool, a computer can bring infinite possibilities like the infinity symbol ‘∞’."

...

Although Tang Huan still didn't give a clear answer to the question of income, this mystery seemed to support the rumors to some extent, giving curious people a sense of accomplishment of searching for the secrets and depriving themselves of the cocoon.

After Tang Huan finished his speech, he was soon surrounded by elites in the financial industry. They all want to know whether the richest man will share the computer financial analysis model in the form of a commercial product.

"Now I can be sure that the relevant hardware systems and software tools will be open to professional fields." Tang Huan stated clearly: "However, everyone must understand that launching products is relatively simple, but excellent product support personnel are not available. It's so easy to cultivate, and this type of product just needs to have a tailor-made personalized service link between the product and the customer."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone understood that what they need to do is to prepare enough banknotes. As for the possibility of being slaughtered, I had to admit it.

The reason for the resignation is that this financial analysis model is similar to the encryption and decryption system in the industry. Once there is a new breakthrough, it must keep up with it as a whole. You are reluctant to spend money and the follow-up speed is slow. The result is likely to be eliminated.

...

The fact is the same. The IT ecosystem, which uses Fangyuan Computer as the platform, has begun to usher in an explosive sales season.

After "Black Monday", the imperfections in the procedures of the electronic trading system catalyzed the occurrence of the stock market crash and were accepted by more and more people.

There is even a sighing argument that if Wall Street did not arbitrarily exclude Fangyuan Computer, which was affected by the security crisis of the Pacific Telecom’s computer billing system, when it was updating the electronic transaction system, then the current situation might not be so bad. .

Although this post-mortem is just a faint complaint, it also invisibly made more people believe in the young Fangyuan computer system.

The real appeal is that the financial elites want the financial model of Tang's richest man.

When San Francisco-based insurance giants Pan Am and Bank of America first announced that they had obtained the system they wanted from PeopleSoft, a panic buying spree took off.

Compared with the billion-dollar orders that the entire Fangyuan computer standard ecosystem has spawned at once, there is an even more exaggerated phenomenon, that is, those business school students who have participated in Tang Huan’s computer financial analysis model research and development project have been distracted by major universities. Financial institutions rushed to the market, just to confirm Tang Huan's statement that "talents are the key factor".

At this time, Tang Huan added a handful of firewood to the hot market. He officially announced: "The latest model of Fangyuan supercomputer-Tai Chi ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will be delivered in early December. A Tai Chi iii was settled at the University of Florida, and its actual performance was 12.6 gflops."

It’s not over yet, Tang Huan also let out the news, “On the upcoming Las Vegas comdex, Fangyuan Computer Standard Platform will launch a series of heavyweight new products.”

Some people laugh, correspondingly, some people cry.

The market value of Fangyuan Computer Company was hit by "Black Monday" and evaporated billions of dollars out of thin air. How could ibm survive the disaster, its market value shrank to less than 40 billion U.S. dollars and was beaten back to the level of the early 1980s.

It seems that this number is still an unattainable number for countless companies, but as far as Big Blue is concerned, it can no longer perform badly.

Compared with the distrust of investors in the stock market, the more practical problem is that ibm's operating conditions have indeed reached the point of dying, and the loss this year has been confirmed, and the product line, the mainframe is dead and unable to see the future; Personal computers can be very tossing, but in a highly competitive market, they hit their heads and squeezed out valuable cash flow resources in vain.

The situation in the industry is already very obvious. The Fangyuan personal computer standard has won, and the ibm personal computer standard can be a brother to Apple's mac.

"Raising pigs and killing pigs" is the survival rule created by Wall Street. IBM is skinny and skinny, but the radius is fat and fat. There is nothing dissatisfied with the capitalists. The tricky part is how to deal with the current ibm. Split as suggested?
