Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Even outsiders are unwilling to see the ruler of the Tang family’s it kingdom letting his own temperament to explore, and the members of the Tang family are naturally more objectionable.

Aunt Tang Yun deliberately called Tang Huan, who had attended the Philosophy Developers Conference, to speak in a villa in San Francisco.

In the spacious living room, the old lady was sitting in the center, accompanied by Lin Fengjiao, along with her little cousin Meng Jing, who is studying for a degree at Stanford University, and her cousin Han Sining, who is about to apply for college, as well as Zhuang Menghua and Tang Wenmao.

The most exaggerated is that there is also a small bench with a pair of twins sitting on it.

The Jinchang and Jinge produced by Deng Lijun still linger in Asia; the Jinming produced by Lin Fengjiao, Jinliang became the leader. On the surface, he was disciplined by his strict mother, but he still wore a jersey and hug. The appearance of basketball shows that they are not so willing to be obedient to join in the excitement of adults; Jin Ying from Zhao Yazhi, Jin Jia from Jin Jie and Lin Qingxia, Jin Yan is quiet, and sits stubbornly. There; Hu Yinmeng’s Jinnian, Jinfang, looked after the baby stroller, Weng Jingjing’s Jinwan this year, Jinxing, Jinfang still had fewer names in his hand than himself. A little Jinwan's milk bottle, shake it lightly from time to time.

If it is summer vacation, there will definitely be four more small benches for Jinlong, Jinfeng, Jincheng, and Jinna from the female ship king Christina.

There is no need to hit the gong with a heavy hammer. Of course, Tang Huan understands what everyone wants to express in such a battle—no matter how ridiculous it is on weekdays, there is no need to go to the North Pole. Take a look at how you drag your family around!

Tang Huan hit a haha, "There is no need for a three-counsel trial, I'm just talking to the reporter."

Jinming shook the basketball in his hand and interjected: "Dad, it doesn't matter if you run the train with such a mouthful. Billions of dollars have evaporated from the stock market."

Tang Huan waved his hand angrily, and hurriedly said, "You little ones, what are you doing here to join in the fun? Hurry up and play."

The little guys didn't move, their eyes turned to grandma.

Aunt Tang Yun nodded, "Jin Ming, Jin Liang, take your brothers out, and watch Jin Wan and Jin Xing’s stroller carefully."

Lin Fengjiao hurriedly got up and personally sent Jin Wan and Jin Xing, who had not yet reached a hundred days, to Weng Jingjing who insisted on staying outside.

When the situation in the living room ceased to be so funny, Tang Huan continued: “Don’t think I’m just fooling around. I naturally have my considerations. After all, sometimes, I can’t pretend to be deaf and dumb, so I have to find someone. Somewhere to hide."

Aunt Tang Yun snorted dissatisfiedly, "Nonsense, who is capable of driving you to the North Pole?"

"It depends on how far the situation is. Anyway, the signs are not optimistic." Tang Huan sighed inexplicably in the eyes of everyone, and continued: "Don't argue about this in advance. Whether you really go to the North Pole? It will not be decided until the end of this year, depending on the situation. Now that everyone is sitting together, that's okay. It's better to sort out the family business, and then I will transfer some of the assets under my name to the foundation here."

The Tang family, with Tang Huan as the core, mainly consists of low-risk and high-stability properties, bonds, and stocks suitable for long-term holding.

However, there is one exception and the most risky project, namely Datang Mobile Communications Company, which operates cellular phone business.

The cellular phone operating licenses issued by the US Federal Communications Commission are divided into two categories. One is for local Bell companies that operate local telephone services, and the other is for other competitors to challenge those who sit on the ground. The source of the cellular phone operating license of Datang Mobile Communications Company is the latter.

After constantly bidding for licenses, especially after buying the part of the licenses in the hands of mci, the coverage of Datang Mobile Communications Co., Ltd. reached approximately 45 million people.

However, the battle for a cellular phone operating license does not end here. Instead, as its value gradually becomes clearer, it becomes more intense, and it can even be described as entering the final stage of the decisive battle.

Datang Mobile Communications has been providing mobile phone services for several years. In addition to AT&T and Motorola as equipment suppliers, Tang Huan's own Silicon Valley first-line company has also played an important role.

In theory, this should allow Datang Mobile Communications to save a lot of costs, but the actual situation is that compared with peers, it only loses a little less every year, but the absolute value is still as high as tens of millions of dollars.

So far, Tang Huan has invested nearly US$4 billion in Datang Mobile Communications.

It can be seen from this that in the early stages of the development of the United States, cellular phones have burnt money, far from being comparable to the small and densely populated Xiangjiang.

But now, some competitors have been unable to succeed. If they are lucky, they will sell the chips in their hands, make a fortune, and leave the market happily; if they are miserable, they will be entangled in debts and their future is uncertain.

In this case, the competition for the operating license of the cellular phone is justified, and once it is sold, it will be hundreds of millions of large sums of money, which will test financial resources more and more.

The richest man who has already set up the structure does not want to fight alone anymore, and is ready to recruit people to share the financial pressure and business risks.

In industries like communications, Tang Huan’s final satisfactory benefits include holding up to 30% to 40% of the shares in his hands, keeping the company’s brand unchanged, and continuing to operate as an independent company, etc. Conditions with obvious characteristics of the founder's efforts.

After knowing this point, it will be a matter of time before the guy gets into the group. The reason why it has been delayed is mainly because the richest man has not met a partner that satisfies him before. Not everyone who has money can enter his circle, but also needs to have all kinds of added value. And now the finalist who meets this condition is British Telecom.

Because it sold more than 50% of its shares to the public and turned it into a private company, BT is now holding a lot of cash in its hands and is willing to pay 1.5 billion US dollars to buy 18% of Datang Mobile Communications. Of shares.

Regardless of the fact that Datang Mobile Communications Company has been losing money in recent years, the trend is gradually improving, and this prospect has been convinced that in a beautiful field, burning money is commonplace, with the golden sign of the richest man, especially not yet publicly listed, its value It is very optimistic about British Telecom, which has already launched cellular phone business in the UK.

On the other hand, although British Telecom has been privatized, its history of hundreds of years can be described as luxuriant, and it can be seen everywhere in the Commonwealth. The richest man, who has become an important shareholder of British Telecom, is drooling with envy when he learns more about these situations.

Obviously, the choice between the richest man and BT are like men and women who fall in love at first sight in a huge crowd-they look right.

Tang Wenmao said: "It is just time for British Telecom to join. The holders of American cellular phone operating licenses have reached the final frantic stage of mergers and reorganizations. Lin Broadcasting Company, which cannot support the flow of funds, will sell the control of the licenses in their hands. Right, all parties have already started to hear the news."

Lin Broadcasting Company was established in 1961, and its business scope covers radio, television, direct selling, education, recording and other fields. Its name is derived from the cities where the three original stations are located-Louisville, Indianapolis, and Nashville, all located on Interstate 65, with the initials of the city names.

In the rush to purchase cellular phone operating licenses, Lin Broadcasting Company can be regarded as a pioneer. It has been working since 1983, and its current business scope covers a population of 25 million, second only to Datang Communications Mobile Company and McCaw Cellular Phone Company.

More importantly, the licenses held by Lin Broadcasting Company are mainly concentrated in Dallas, Houston, New York and Philadelphia, and the gold content is too high.

This is also the special feature of the cellular phone operating license-a license in a prosperous area, and the business opportunities contained therein may even exceed all licenses in a certain state.

"The part of the license that Lin Broadcasting Company holds is so important that it has attracted the attention of countless people. Even Southwest Bell and McCaw Cellular Phone Company have publicly stated that they are bound to win. On the day of the auction, the situation will definitely be tense." Tang Wenmao Suggested: "So, you'd better be able to sit down in person. You know, the ambitious Craig McCaw is now almost at the end of the road. Any crazy move may be done, I am afraid I can't stand it."

Tang Huan nodded in understanding. He, the richest man in the United States, felt a little overwhelmed, not to mention Craig McCaw.

Although McCaw's cellular phone company went public last year, the amount of financing was only 300 million U.S. dollars, and Craig McCaw's debt was estimated to be close to 2 billion U.S. dollars.

It can be said that there is only one road left in front of him, that is, desperately rushing forward, either reaching the end or exhausting, and the epic tragically falls in the last 10 steps.

Under this circumstance, Craig McCaw, who has always been extremely skilled, will definitely do whatever he can, but Tang Wenmao, who is only the agent of the richest man, will inevitably feel tricky.

"How is the situation on BP?" Tang Huan turned his head and asked Zhuang Menghua.

"The Kuwait Investment Authority has already inhaled almost 30% of BP's shares, and it is getting closer and closer to the goal of controlling it. However, the British government has been spreading opposition. It is estimated that this time Kuwait. The Investment Bureau is eager to invite you to London to talk about this issue." Zhuang Menghua shook his head, "Obviously, if the British government believes that this will harm the British national interests, no one can do anything about it. It doesn’t matter if you go early or late for a few days."

"It's true." Tang Huan said in a deep voice, "Then stay in New York for a few more days and take in the excitement of bidding for Lin Broadcasting Corporation's cellular phone license."

...

After calming down the waves caused by the Arctic scientific expedition to the family, Tang Huan did not take any clarification actions for Fangyuan Computer Company and ea, whose stock prices were also affected by this, but called the cronies together to prepare to fine-tune the power of the consortium. Architecture.

Collecting celebrities and using celebrities is not just for a superficial pleasure, but to give full play to the advantages of information asymmetry, and to make judgments through existing intelligence, and to gather partners with excellent abilities, especially reliable personalities. , This is far more reliable than placing a stranger in a position of power!

Tang Huan's decentralization of power to his subordinates is based on this foundation, and he is currently working well. He, the richest man, has not become a slave to wealth, and his life is rich and colorful.

Based on the development of the situation, Tang Huan intends to further strengthen the collective management mechanism and set up a management committee to reduce his workload, while also enabling the entire Tang industrial kingdom to operate more steadily to resist the impact of emergencies.

The process of Tang Huan's adjustment of power is not as difficult and dangerous as outsiders imagined. He, the founder of the kingdom, personally presided over several meetings, and then called his subordinates to the office to communicate privately, and it basically took shape.

At the final summary meeting, Tang Huan signaled the recorder to put down the pen in his hand, and then slowly said: "Everyone, according to my personal judgment, in the next few years, the cold war pattern of the two heroes is likely to undergo major changes. In this way, we will enter the stage of true globalization, and the influence of large international companies will increase significantly, which will further influence the governments of various countries. Therefore, we need to make preparations in advance, such as changing the registration place of the holding company to adapt to the new international corporate positioning. "

Although the words of the big boss are not easy to understand for a while, this decision is just a preparation and will not immediately affect the current company structure, so the plan quickly entered the stage of secret research.

...

Tang Huan flew from the west coast of the United States to the east coast of the United States. It was already mid-May. Summer is approaching, and the hot atmosphere at the Lin Broadcasting Company's cellular phone operating license auction has already made most people feel like they are in a sweaty dog ​​days.

Without those time-wasting preparation procedures, everyone’s goal is very clear~www.wuxiahere.com~ After the host announced the start, the auction entered the cruel battle stage of white knives in and red knives out. No. 1 McCaw Cellular Phone Company and 2 Southwest Bell kicked away competitors who dared to bid with anger, and then caught each other's hands.

While the auctioneer kept talking, he did not forget to glance at Datang Mobile Communications, which is sitting in the 8th position. Others are similar. The richest man in town, Mr. Gein himself, kept his eyes closed and did not participate in the slumber. .

Everyone knows that no one would be too spare to pay a huge deposit and go to sleep in this noisy place-just because the time has not arrived!

Just as Southwest Bell and McCaw Cellular Telephone Company were entangled in raising their offer to $2.99 ​​billion, Tang Huan opened his glasses and adjusted his posture. Tang Wenmao on the side raised his placard.

There was a commotion in the audience, and the auctioneer immediately shouted: "No. 8 offers 3.2 billion."

"Quote No. 2, 3.25 billion."

"Price No. 1, 3.3 billion."

"Quote No. 8, 3.4 billion."

"Quote No. 1, 3.45 billion."

"Quote No. 8, 3.55 billion."

"Quote No. 8, 3.55 billion, the second time."

...

Southwest Bell’s representative shook his head in annoyance, Craig McCaw red eyes, and just about to raise his hand, he tried every means to pull into the McCaw Cellular Phone Company’s board of directors as the Austrian aid tci CEO John Malone, then Whispered a few words to him.

...

"Quote No. 8, 3.55 billion, the third time."

Seeing that the auctioneer dropped the hammer heavily, Tang Huan slowly got up, and said indifferently: "Send a word to Craig McCaw and tell him that he who knows the current affairs is a good man."
