Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

For people in the IT circle, Dresden is still quite famous. In the original time and space, it was equivalent to a Silicon Valley in Germany. Infineon, which originated from the semiconductor division of the Siemens Group, and GlobalFoundries, a foundry company spin-off from the manufacturing division of amd, have factories here. After all, East Germany has invested here since the 1970s. Although the economic benefits are not satisfactory, it has indeed accumulated a foundation.

Tang's richest man's blitzkrieg, the first battlefield chose this field. Under Zhongxing Pengyue, he inspected the most representative local semiconductor factory-zmdi.

Just in 1988, zmdi developed the 1mb chip technology for dynamic random access memory-u61000. Regardless of performance, production and other issues, it is enough to be able to produce actual results, which is second to none in the Eastern camp.

In order to get a good start, Tang Huan took great pains. First, he made a name for himself from the most familiar and expert aspects, namely acquiring zmdi, and then creating a model project.

"If the acquisition of zmdi can be completed, in addition to the phenomenon of no layoffs, employees' salary income will immediately be in line with the developed western part of Germany." Tang's richest man said cleanly in public.

There is no more real promise than this. East Germany is crying and rushing to sell to West Germany, isn't it just to live a good life? The guarantee of the richest man can be said to be a direct hit.

In fact, no force dared to come and grab zmdi with Tang Huan.

You know, in terms of dynamic random access memory technology, Europe is lower than the United States in the equation, and the United States is lower than rbrb and Tang Huan. The place where rb wins lies in the economies of scale that are piled up at no cost, but it is used in servers. The market share of high-end products such as memory is only 50-50.

In this case, Siemens, which is most likely to reach out, can only stay away.

Pointing to the beaming people running around outside the office, Tang Huan meaningfully instructed his team: “Every time I invest in a place, I attach great importance to localized operations. This investment in East Germany can be said to be based on a futility. However, they cannot have the mentality of giving to each other. After so many years of collectivist education, their simplicity is worthy of respect. The most important point is the unique market share of zmdi within the scope of the Economic Mutual Aid Committee. I need to inherit it. ."

The Economic Mutual Aid Committee is a political and economic cooperation organization composed of socialist countries established by the Soviet Union, which is equivalent to the Eastern camp version of the Western camp of the European Economic Community.

When it was first established in January 1949, the Economic Mutual Aid Committee included six members from the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Czechoslovakia. Subsequently, Albania, East Germany, Mongolia, Cuba, and Vietnam joined in; by 1973, The Economic Mutual Aid Committee has successively signed cooperation agreements with Finland, Iraq, Mexico, and Nicaragua.

Since its establishment, the Economic Mutual Aid Council has been a regional economic organization second only to the European Economic Community in terms of trade volume in the world. It has played a major role in promoting economic exchanges among member states; of course, it has also strengthened the Soviet Union objectively. The economic control of other member states has weakened their economic independence. Compared with the European Economic Community's consideration of the equal respect and interest compromise of each member state, it is inevitable that the state is a little worse.

The member states of the European Economic Community include 16 countries in Western Europe, covering a population of 270 million; although the number of member states of the Economic Mutual Assistance Committee is only 10, it covers a population of 450 million, spreading across the three continents of Europe, Asia and the Americas. .

With the drastic changes in Eastern Europe that began last year, it will be a matter of time before the Mutual Economic Aid Committee will step down from the stage of history, but there is always an inevitable inertia in reality-the enthusiasm among the member states of the Mutual Economic Aid Committee cannot disappear immediately. Zmdi, whose products are very popular within the scope of the Economic Mutual Aid Committee, has a great opportunity to inherit some inheritance.

With this plan in mind, Tang Huan can only describe things as beautiful. Then the media in Dresden launched overwhelming reports, praising the richest man in Tang for being a step ahead of others for the troubled local economy. It brought new hope and vitality; even German Chancellor Helmut Kohl followed up with another statement-Tang's investment has played a good role model for the reunified Germany and subsequent economic reconstruction.

The reunification of the two Germanys is not about the fact that the upper lip touches the lower lip, saying "we are united", and the "unity" is really completed. There are huge differences in life, wealth, beliefs, etc., and integration requires a process. .

In fact, more than ten years later in the original time and space, the time of the reunification of the two Germanys has exceeded 15 years. The development gap between the two regions in Germany is still very obvious. Even in the original East German region, the unemployment rate was as high as double digits, so that the "East German complex" appeared, that is, people began to miss the egalitarianism of the East German era.

In order to promote true integration under the surface of unification, Germany needs a large amount of capital for a long time. For this reason, Helmut Kohl thought of an idea called the "Solidarity and Mutual Assistance Tax", that is, on the basis of the income tax that no one can avoid, at a tax rate of up to 5%, and then levy a sum of money.

No matter how superficially sounding on the surface, no one wants to let others' hands go into their pockets.

As a result, the affected individuals and companies have mixed feelings about the "solidarity and mutual assistance tax", and they are extremely entangled.

As the chief executive of Germany, Helmut Kohl naturally felt the invisible pressure. At this time, Tang Huan's emergence made the prime minister suddenly find an excuse to lobby-Tang, an outsider, in the process of acquiring zmdi, showed a moving view of the overall situation; we in Germany, do we behave? Not as good as Tang?

Seeing this scene, the richest man in Tang was dumbfounded. He didn't even realize that he had such a great sentiment-well, this was the "duty" of the German girl.

The acquisition of zmdi was so beautiful that Tang Huan, the big boss, naturally did not need to continue to spend energy on specific matters, so he turned his attention to the goal that had already done the preliminary work-Zeiss Jena.

As early as 1846, the 30-year-old German optician Carl Zeiss established a precision optical instrument processing plant in Jena, and in 1847 mass-produced his first microscope-using only a single lens. , A simple microscope suitable for dissection work. By 1866. The factory sold the 1,000th microscope.

After achieving this success, Carl Zeiss chose a new challenge, which is to develop a compound microscope. He and Dr. Ernst Abbe, a 26-year-old physicist who joined as a research mentor, studied the scientific basic principles of optical products together, and finally co-produced a compound microscope in 1872, which is also all modern compound microscopes. The ancestor of the type microscope.

The quality of such products naturally depends on the key component of the lens. Theoretically, the research result-Abbe's sine condition can greatly improve the quality of the lens. But the problem is that there was not enough strong glass to test this theory. It was not until 1879, when 30-year-old glass chemist Dr. Otto Schott joined in, that he made a huge breakthrough. In 1886, he produced a new type of glass and produced apochromatic_lens-achromatic objective lens, which opened up the objective of microscope. A new path.

Carl Zeiss died in 1888 shortly after the creation of this epoch-making microscope. In his will, he transferred the equity to his son Roderick, Roderick. Rodrík sold the equity to Ernst Abbe, who established the Carl Zeiss Foundation in 1889. Through this organization, a new group was established as the owner of Zeiss's first series of factories.

With the great success of microscope products, Zeiss's product line naturally extended to cameras, telescopes and other related fields, and then became the darling of the military under the background of constant wars, producing various military optical products for the German army, such as the army and the navy. Telescopes, rangefinders and shooting sights, bombing sights used by the Air Force, etc. In order to prevent exposure of the manufacturer's location. Zeiss also used the blc product code during World War II.

In 1935, Zeiss modified the British Harold Dennis Taylor's anti-reflective coating formula. After it was applied to German military scopes and rangefinders, the lens would not be exposed due to reflections. This is the world-famous t-coating, which also became an important technological secret of the German army during World War II.

It is precisely because of this irreplaceable technology and product advancement that Zeiss has become the focus of attention on both sides of the war.

Although the United States and the Soviet Union had negotiated the conditions for dividing Germany in the Yalta Secret Agreement. Zeiss in Jena, East Germany, should be occupied by the Soviet army, but George Patton’s Third Army crossed the border and invaded the area and Zeiss’s company. The location of the factory-Dresden, in the name of "assistance", some technical personnel and equipment were swept away overnight at the fastest speed and transferred to the Allied territory-West Germany.

Among them, the 126 scientists and engineers who were coerced settled in Oberkochen in the U.S. occupied area. The management and top-level control agency of Zeiss, the Carl Zeiss Foundation, was moved to Stuttgart in the U.S. occupied area. Eventually formed today's Zeiss ag.

When the Soviet army took over Jena, there were only empty workshops and some first-class optical glass and production equipment that the U.S. military could not take away. Of course, the Soviets would not return empty-handed. They immediately seized all Zeiss machines on the grounds of war reparations, transported the remaining resources back to the Soviet Union, Ukraine, and Kiev, and transported some of the remaining scientists back to Russia by plane. The Russian optics industry has been in service for several years-it has been spread among the people that Lao Maozi's telescope is as easy to use as a razor, and this is related to this.

After being looted wildly by the two giants, Jena and Dresden were naturally wiped out. Fortunately, the background of being a major optical equipment production center for nearly a century, it is not so easy to be simply and rudely snatched. The technicians left in the area restored the Zeiss factory in Jena, East Germany, which is the Zeiss Jena, whom Tang’s richest man is now eyeing.

In the early days of the Cold War, Zeiss ag and Zeiss Jena were still cooperating closely to develop products together. It was not until 1953 that the East German government announced that the two companies were forbidden from any further cooperation. Zeiss Jena even lost the right to export, and the two Zeiss were completely split since then.

Zeiss ag in West Germany re-registered the Zeiss trademark to prevent the use of Zeiss Jena in East Germany. This trademark dispute between the two parties lasted until 1971. Only through an agreement, an agreement was reached, and a compromise was reached.

Zeiss ag, which occupies an advanced position in the market of the Western camp, and Zeiss Jena, who occupies a dominant position in the market of the Eastern camp, have the same natural business and similar product lines due to the relationship between the same origin and the same origin. There is fierce competition in cameras and lenses.

At this stage, Zeiss ag in West Germany is a medium-sized and technologically advanced technology company; Zeiss Jena in East Germany is a larger and more bloated group. The latter is currently in trouble due to mechanism defects, but it does not hinder the coveted vision.

There is no doubt that Zeiss ag, the top competitor, definitely hopes to eat Zeiss Jena like West Germany annexed East Germany, and also has the time, place, people and ~www. wuxiaspot.com~ is almost a general trend.

However, Tang Huan has never lacked a way to grab food from the tiger’s mouth. He rarely went to battle in person. When Zeiss Jena gave a speech, which still retains a large number of people’s enterprise forms, he said with all his heart: "It is impossible to avoid it before everyone. One consensus is that if Zeiss ag merges with Zeiss Jena, redundant staff will inevitably appear in the same position. Zeiss Jena, which is already overwhelmed by the organization, will definitely undergo large-scale layoffs."

"Imagine that a large number of Zeiss Jena employees will lose their jobs overnight, and your generation will become the victims of the painful period of personnel adjustment."

"If I acquire Zeiss Jena, it will continue to exist independently, and it will be rejuvenated in Jena, the most authentic birthplace."

"Ernst Abbe, one of the founders of Zeiss, is not only an excellent scientist and entrepreneur, he also implements the system of working 8 hours a day, paid holidays, paid sick leave, and retirement pensions at Zeiss, becoming a modern employee. The forerunner of the security system."

"I admire Ernst Abbe's character, and I am willing to let Zeiss Jena continue this tradition. My performance in zmdi, I must have heard of you, that is a model."

"All in all, I am here not for condescending alms, nor for ruthless annexation, but for unity and friendly cooperation."

The richest man in Tang, who was already rich in financial resources, made a scheming strategy, and really let Zeiss ag's "bloodline" advantage disappeared, and he immediately lost his hair. He angrily rebuked Tang Huan for hindering the unification of a great company.

In response, the richest man just replied lightly, "Actually, you can sell to me and you can achieve unity. Or, think about it?"
