Rebirth of the Tech Madman

ps: I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival.

...

How good are the soldiers of the richest man?

John Chambers only hinted a little, because Motorola’s strategic abandonment in the research and development of cisc microprocessors, and Intel’s same-generation microprocessor "Pentium", the operating frequency has exceeded 100mhz, so Fangyuan personal computer The mc68000 product line, which has no prospects for performance, will be removed within the year.

As a result, observers analyzed this information, Intel's stock price rose in response, and Motorola, which is proud of its mobile communications business, has abnormally dropped its stock price.

In this regard, Motorola expressed dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, Wall Street also gave a lot of face, Motorola's stock price quickly returned to normal prices, and the golden sign was still shiny.

But it also announced that Motorola has withdrawn from the competition of 32-bit cisc microprocessors, and Intel has become a leader in this field.

Perhaps Motorola, which is getting a lot of money from the mobile communication business, doesn't care about the income of the cisc microprocessor business, but Intel is clearly keeping the cloud open.

The ups and downs of industries like this are happening in the chat and laughter of the soldiers of the richest man.

Tang Huan didn't try to grab the limelight from his subordinates. This was the honor the other party deserved for loyalty to him. At the same time, he freed his hands and began to adjust the philosophers.

The corresponding strategy has already been formed in my mind-the first item is to convene a shareholder meeting.

In the preparation process, in addition to Jinming and Jinliang, Tang Huan also deliberately called Jinchang and Jinge, who also wanted to continue helping his mother on the global tour, to be errand runners together.

Tang Huan originally just wanted to broaden his elder sons' horizons, but the Fourth Elementary School still did a good job. At least shareholders like Wang Xuehong, Wang Xueling, and Jian Mingren don't need him to be distracted to entertain them.

Seeing that Jin Chang and Jin Ge were dressed sternly, Wang Xuehong, who had only watched Deng Lijun's concert not long ago, quipped: "Is there any salary for working so hard?"

Jin Ge replied with a grin: "As long as the aunt doesn't complain about our work, she can get an hourly salary."

Tang Huan only greeted him, and was invited by Mike Markkula, the chairman of Apple’s board of directors, who had just arrived to the side to chat. Although both Apple and Zheru were in Cupertino, the daily exchanges between them were limited, especially Mike. Markkula is not as obsessive as Gates and Jobs in business, and he doesn't deliberately enter the camp. He is content only by living a superior material life with the wealth he has accumulated in his early years of investment.

Apple’s early veterans have almost gone, and even CEO John Sculley, who squeezed Jobs away, stepped down last year because of poor performance.

Mike Markkula, the only surviving fruit, couldn't help but sighed: "Apple's life is getting more and more sad."

"Grow melons, sow beans," Tang Huan said unceremoniously: "During John Sculley's tenure, although the company's order was normal, he too pursued good-looking financial statement data in order to flatter Wall Street. But there were decision-making errors in technology."

"The personal computer industry is developing so fast, the traditional business scope of Apple, such as educational computers, home computers, etc., will inevitably encounter intrusions from other platforms."

"But over the years, Apple has been thinking about how to launch high-priced computers to increase profits. As a result, it can't resist the impact of product homogeneity after the industry's overall level of rapid improvement and correspondingly lowered thresholds. It's no wonder that life is not sad."

"I'm still to blame for being too coveted." Mike Markkula sighed in self-examination.

He was a good old man who hadn't refuted Tang Huan many years ago, and he is even more so now. After all, the status gap between the two sides has widened not just a little bit, and the criticism of the richest man is of great weight.

The two were chatting. Mike Markkula suddenly noticed that Jobs, who was standing in the distance, looked to this side with a cold face, so he didn't say a word, and simply retreated—the original relationship was like a close career partner of a father and son. Now it's so old and dead.

"I thought you, like Woz, don't like this kind of occasion." Tang Huan smiled and greeted Jobs.

"Guess you will make big moves, of course I have to observe the situation." Jobs replied dullly.

Speaking of which, Steve Jobs is quite smart in terms of money.

In the case of Next Company, after burning up the first sum of funds invested separately, he refused to continue carrying it alone, and instead dragged others to jump into the pit.

Generally speaking, next company did not bring commendable economic benefits to Jobs.

Fortunately, Jobs' return on investment in Zheru is steady. Although the shares have been diluted several times, the absolute return has only increased.

Considering that under Tang Huan's interference, Pixar completely deviated from the track, it is really hard to say what Jobs's net worth will be compared to the original time and space.

"You happened to be here. I happen to have something to tell you." Tang Huan smiled playfully. "Next will no longer need to move things secretly from the philosopher, just get the official authorization directly."

"Who is sneaking?" Jobs retorted slyly: "Don, don't forget, you are also a shareholder of next, so say next, okay?"

"Although I am a shareholder of next, Zheru is not a shareholder of next." Tang Huan said with a smile: "Now that Zheru grants technical licenses to next, including the operating system, you can say something happy, do you want it or not?"

"How can you suddenly become so generous." Jobs looked suspicious. "Even if the Federal Department of Justice's antitrust investigation is under pressure, it won't be enough to allow philosophers to make such concessions."

"It's our fine tradition to do more than promise." Tang Huan asked again impatiently, "Do you want to?"

"Why not?" Jobs finally couldn't resist the temptation, but he still maintained a trace of vigilance and quickly added: "As long as the conditions are right."

...

"You are the son of Tang." Warren Buffett looked at "Xiao Pao Tang" Jin Chang with a smile on his face. "However, your exact name, I don't know yet."

"My name is David." Jin Chang replied with a degree of demeanor.

"I am very happy to meet for the first time this year, coming so soon." After sending Steve Jobs, the richest man walked towards Warren Buffett. Tang Huan's habit of not investing in high-tech industries is an exception here.

"Are you ready to let Philosopher go public?" Warren Buffett tentatively asked.

"That's what I meant." Tang Huan nodded, "This can be regarded as a positive response to the long-awaited outside world."

"I'm afraid, some shareholders don't want Zheru to go public." Warren Buffett reminded.

Compared to other companies wishing to be able to go public the next day after their establishment, philosophers might actually have the "weird" Warren Buffett called.

The reason is not difficult to understand. Since the launch of Zheru’s chariot, it has never lacked working capital, and has never stopped making a fortune in a muffled voice. When Tang Huan found shareholders for Zheru, it was not just because From an economic point of view, it also includes considerations of politics, governance, and popularity, which is equivalent to compiling a circle of allies. There are many investment conservatives who want to stably share huge profits in a small circle, rather than getting diluted by the public on the stock market.

"At least, the computer software business, which is the most closely watched by the outside world at this stage, must be sent to the stock market." Tang Huan said leisurely, "This attitude of being close to the public can't be delayed."

"It turns out you are planning to split the business." Warren Buffett suddenly said: "Then do you have a precise timetable?"

"Let's choose an opportunity to go public next year." Tang Huan did not hide it.

"You really pick the time." Warren Buffett laughed and said: "I also think that starting next year, the stock market will enter a cycle of obvious rise."

...

Because Zheru is not a listed public company now, some redundant links are directly omitted, which can be regarded as a manifestation of freedom.

When the meeting officially started, the topic quickly moved to the recent settlement between Philosopher and the Federal Ministry of Justice on the anti-monopoly investigation.

"From the current development momentum of philosophers, this kind of situation will definitely happen again." Tang Huan slowly analyzed: "Plus, it is expected that the stock market will enter the rising period of the technology sector in the near future, philosophers are It’s time to go public to further improve relations with the public."

Sure enough, there is indeed a kind of point of view in the debate-philosophers have the resources and ability to face pressure from the Federation, and they can do their own way in a way that suits their own interests.

Tang Huan smiled and listened carefully—such objections might not be a powerful expression of the philosophical circle.

Finally, the richest man concluded: “In addition to computer software, Zheru has also been involved in communications, genetics, pharmaceuticals, energy, transportation, aviation, aerospace, and other fields. The scale is huge. It’s better to package the business of computer software. Go public. The progress of economic globalization is changing with each passing day, and philosophers can't be too conservative."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan looked around at the crowd and emphasized his tone: "Zheru's software product system has become a complete ecosystem, suppressing the living space of its peers, and has almost become one of its more and more powerful inertias. Please believe me. In my judgment, sending this hot potato to the stock market alone would benefit a lot."

Once Tang Huan, the founder of the company, said "trust me", that was when he showed his authority most, other people quickly took advantage of the situation and reached a consensus.

Again, to this day, philosophers have grown on a scale that is not as large as General Electric, and computer software is only part of it. After the topic is over, there are many other things that need to be exchanged.

...

After the two-day meeting, the restructuring plan for Philosophy and Confucianism was settled. Among them, the business of computer software will be divided, and Zheru Software Company will be established to seek listing.

At this time, the topical interest of Fangyuan Company represented by John Chambers has begun to fade. When Tang Huan announced his decision at the press conference, it happened to be a smooth "handover".

After answering that he would serve as CEO of Zheru Software to promote the smooth progress of restructuring and listing, another reporter asked: "When Zheru Software is listed, choose Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange. Where?"

This question is really difficult to answer directly. At this stage, the relationship between NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange is relatively subtle. In short, under competition, listed companies find that it is more advantageous to trade on the latter platform. .

For example, Seagate, the world's largest hard drive manufacturer, in which the richest man has invested, plans to move to the New York Stock Exchange this year.

Even the New York Stock Exchange ran full-page advertisements in the New York Times for 300 companies that were transferred from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange.

This shows how awkward the relationship between the two stock exchanges is.

Tang Huan pondered for a moment, and then replied: "We are evaluating, and we will listen carefully to the opinions of professionals."

Journalists are well known for their ability to watch and watch. Ever since, a new excitement followed.

The big fat of Zheru Software is not only infinitely attractive to investors, but the stock exchange is also slobbering.

And the media judged based on their own observations: "From Tang's attitude when answering this question, he should be inclined to let Zheru Software go listed on the New York Stock Exchange."

In this way, the Wall Street public relations staff who heard the wind were about to step on the threshold of the richest man.

It’s not hard to imagine that either the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, whoever wins Philosophersoft's listing on its own turf, is equivalent to releasing a signal of decisive battle significance, and then fiercely in A knife was inserted into the opponent's heart.

The richest man was listening with a smile to the utterly flattering power of various people in front of him, and his subordinates reported a news that Microsoft had just launched a very aggressive promotion plan to the market, combining operating systems, office software, and Become a discount package.

"How much discount is there? Is it comparable to free delivery?" Tang Huan snorted disdainfully, "I was about to ask Zheru Software to express its kindness to the open source software community, and it rushed up recklessly."

...

Seattle, Microsoft headquarters, the good friends of Gates and Steve Ballmer are shaking their bodies in a signature way, thinking about Microsoft's development plan.

The spin-off of Zheru Software has made the structure of this field more clear-if you don't overthrow this giant, Gates' dream of software empire is a joke.

After so many years of painstaking efforts, Microsoft and philosophers have established their own product ecosystems. Although they are far less powerful than philosophers, they have already taken shape. There is no controversy.

Novell and other companies are pursuing the same goal through large-scale acquisitions, but unfortunately the results are one level worse than Microsoft.

In contrast, software companies with a single product have become other people's dishes.

The obvious example is that the Lotus software, which used to be Microsoft's **** in the field of spreadsheets, has fallen to the point where it will be acquired by ibm.

Gates and Steve Ballmer were discussing Microsoft's marketing, how to dig a wall from the philosophers, when suddenly the development director called and changed their faces.
