Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 328: The magical effect of Gerstner

Boss Tang is not arrogant and arrogant. He is really rich now, instead of paper wealth like bubbles blown out by stocks.

Christina's family capital structure, with the assistance of Tang Huan, has been adjusted with initial results, and is trying to build a new consortium center in Paris.

As for the industrial structure of San Francisco-Los Angeles, Silicon Valley-Hollywood, and technology-entertainment operated by Tang Huan in California, it has already taken shape and is beginning to emerge.

This is the macro aspect, and the changes in the micro aspect are even more the same day by day.

Take Tang Huan’s personal income as an example. In addition to stock dividends, job remuneration, copyrights of works, etc., the profit scale of secretly speculative operations in the capital market has even made Tang Huan more and more jealous. .

As this profit-making model gradually formed a system, the intelligence gathered by his subordinates was compared with the memories of hundreds of elites in Tang Huan's mind, coupled with professional capital operations, resulting in a huge profit for every speculation.

"None" "Wrong"

Tang Huan does not want to attract attention, so he must control the scale of speculation, and spread this part of his assets, throwing them into the team, TV stations and other money-losing departments or traditional industries run by his own women.

It is with such confidence that Tang Huan is now a well-known venture capitalist and angel investor in Silicon Valley.

Since he has taken a fancy to the prototype of Gemina's multimedia platform, Atari will not be allowed to make trouble, and throwing money is the most powerful way to fight back.

According to Tang Huan's idea, Jermain's team was first trained in a circle, and when the sensitive time limit for peer competition to avoid is almost reached, it was pulled over and assimilated.

Compared with the elimination of a future market competitor. It can also strengthen its own technical strength. It's nothing to waste some money right now.

After all. Rekasa, the Atari’s, is just a wage earner from Warner and its owner Steve Ross. He really wants to fight for wealth. How can he be as confident as a big boss like Tang Huan, he is destined to be destined to be With a big bully and a small place, he retreats and retreats.

In fact, although Atari was robbed of the throne of the boss by Tang Huan's ea, its second-place market position still allowed it to make a lot of money. Won the favor and value of Warner.

This is due to Tang Huan's intervention out of thin air, not relying entirely on plundering to occupy Atari's space, but expanding the space of the entire video game industry.

For example, more than half a month after the release of "", its video game derivative "007" was officially released by ea. The response from dealers and users was very enthusiastic, which can be said to be a good example of success for the industry and let everyone more After a way of making money, Atari quickly followed.

After "Indiana Jones" won the first weekend box office, "Superman 2" and "" stole the limelight in the middle. By the fourth weekend of July 5, "Indiana Jones" once again occupied the top spot in the box office. And it's still a jaw-dropping amount of more than 10 million dollars.

What this phenomenon means, even laymen can understand that the commercial performance of "Indiana Jones" will be a mess, and it will continue to be shown in cinemas until all the value is drained.

With ea's successful example of operating the "007" video game, and with "Indiana Jones" so beautiful, Atari began to talk about licensing.

Paramount, the identity issuer, didn't get the first month from the water, and in this respect gave Sega benefits, but gave it to Atari.

It has to be said that Paramount’s boss, Charles Bludon, has not managed to integrate the company’s resources under his name to give full play to the advantage of one plus one greater than two. In the face of this rare video game market, Many opportunities were missed.

With the leadership of industry leaders ea and Atari, everyone seems to see the infinitely bright prospects of the cross-field development of Hollywood and Silicon Valley, entertainment and technology, and the turmoil of capital has become more irresistible.

Tang Huan could only smile bitterly at this madness. Strictly speaking, he also played a role in fueling the flames.

This is the general trend, and the individual is extremely insignificant in front of it.

But Atari, which is also a top-tier player in the industry, either followed ea's **** and followed suit, or jumped in front of ea and robbed Tang Huan. The reality was that Tang Huan was too disappointed.

Don’t you realize that the market develops disorderly and there is no mechanism of checks and balances, everyone will be finished together, and it’s still very hard to see.

If ea is in a trough, I still have mature and stable philosophers and Fangyuan Computer, and you will use Atari as a bargaining chip, just by burning money to open factories and R&D centers in Silicon Valley, and the qualifications involved in the personal computer field, basically Unable to keep a foothold.

In Tang Huan's view, Atari and ea are fighting each other in the market, and they must tacitly jointly crack down on speculators who break into this industry. Upgrading the existing hardware platform is one of them, so that more customers can get access to it. A better gaming experience, so as to abandon those shoddy goods.

But what Atari is doing now is not at all the awareness of the industry leader. Like other followers, it expands brutally while staring at ea to figure out how to make money.

In order to improve the anti-risk ability against the Great Depression of the industry in the future, Tang Huan instructed ea to increase resources to develop the personal computer platform in addition to the home machine, arcade machine, and handheld platform. In fact, it only includes Apple computers and Fangyuan computers, and even Some projects were outsourced to software developers of these two hardware platforms.

The biggest beneficiary of this move is undoubtedly Apple Computer, because the basic model of the second-generation Fangyuan computer with a memory capacity of 64kb has been reduced to about US$3,000, and there is basically no room to continue.

Only after the licensing of compatible machines is released and the cost of common parts comes down, will it continue to approach the low-end market.

Obviously, no one will spend $3,000 to buy a second-generation Fangyuan computer that focuses on commercial use to play games. App is currently the most suitable hardware platform.

With so much help from Tang Huan, Apple has become the focus of ibm, and the two are fighting to the death.

Especially Jobs opened up taunting skills. Stabilize the hatred. Often irritated Don Estelic to pinch him in the air.

It’s time for the media to report on the personal computer industry. Photos of Jobs and Don Estelich are often listed together, as if they were the absolute protagonists of this personal computer war.

It is in this situation that the media has inadvertently omitted the monthly shipment of the second-generation Fangyuan computer at an alarming rate of over 10,000 units.

At present, the front desks of many hotels in North America are equipped with second-generation Fangyuan computers, printers, card readers, digital fax machines and other equipment. This is regarded as the most representative application field of Fangyuan computers.

The second-generation Fangyuan computers connected via Ethernet have further aroused the interest of large companies and institutions.

After a period of time after the launch of Yipeng r workstations and servers, the second-generation Fangyuan computer will have its own back-end server, and its application field will undoubtedly increase further.

As the saying goes, plant a plane tree. Attracting the golden phoenix, Tang Huan is now more and more relaxed in recruiting senior talents.

For example, the original CEO of ibm in the 1990s, who created the miracle of "making the elephant dance"-Louis Vincent Gerstner, rushed over.

Gerstner, born in 1942, has a remarkable professional resume. After obtaining an MBA degree from Harvard Business School in 1965, he entered McKinsey Management Consulting Company directly.

This company is very famous, and the companies under Tang Huan's name have hired their consultants to provide services.

Gerstner spent 13 years at McKinsey and became McKinsey's youngest partner at the age of 28. At 33, he became the youngest director of McKinsey.

By 1978, Gerstner was taken by McKinsey's customer-American Express. Please go to serve as executive vice president.

The current president and chief executive officer of American Express is James Robinson III. This person often gives his subordinates the promise of "you take my seat". As a result, he did it from 1977 to 1993 in the original time and space.

In the 1980s, American Express developed its credit card business very successfully, and it was also actively expanding its investment banking business.

Just this year, American Express spent US$9.3 billion to buy Hilson LeBrodis, the second largest securities firm in the United States after Merrill Lynch.

The president of this company, Sanford Will, also got the promise of "passage" from James Robinson III. However, in the original time and space, after the old man realized that he had no such hope, he patted his **** and left in 1983. Up.

In fact, this is the tricks and transactions in the market, and there is no talk about who is right and who is wrong.

Anyway, during the tenure of James Robinson III, American Express had a good momentum of development. Otherwise, Tang Huan would not buy the shares of American Express through Shennong Fund and cut off the Hu of Warren Buffett.

When Gerstner found out that Sanford Weill had also received the promise of "passage" from James Robinson III, one can imagine the loss in his heart.

In the original time and space, this workaholic has endured until the end of the 1980s. Although his position has been promoted, he has reached the ceiling.

In this time and space, through the Shennong Foundation, Tang Huan could naturally understand the big moves of American Express, so he asked the headhunting company he cooperated to try to contact him, so he hooked up with the other party.

Needless to say, Tang Huan likes to appoint celebrities in the original time and space, and the bigger the card, the better, because doing so saves worry, there are obvious traces of the opponent's temperament, temper, ability, ethics and so on.

For example, Tang Huan recruited Simone, Chambers, and Hawkins in Silicon Valley. They are now multimillionaires in the paper sense, but the three of them still work hard and resentfully like old scalpers, and Gerstner also belongs to this. Kind of good subordinates.

There is one more thing I have to mention. Hawkins, who is in charge of ea's daily affairs, is a relatively late follower of Tang Huan, but the wealth he gets has surpassed the first two.

Regarding this kind of "unfairness," Tang Huan said directly, "Don't worry about temporary distribution. The next target for listing is Fangyuan Computer, and then everyone can divide the results again."

And the next situation was what Tang Huan hoped to see. These people didn't have any grudges, and they were still cooperating very well, which is really commendable.

Tang Huan has always liked Gerstner because of his poor background and simple background, and his tough working style is what Tang Huan’s team members need.

In other words, with the expansion of Silicon Valley's foundation, Tang Huan increasingly needs a black-faced prime minister with iron and blood to deal with some tasks that he scruples about the image of a leader instead of direct instructions.

In addition to the division of labor, Gerstner's arrival can be regarded as a timely rain.

With the gradual increase of various information management systems developed around the database ebase, Zheru has penetrated deeper and deeper in the application field of erp, and the business knowledge required by it in terms of finance, management, etc., has also been separated from the technology of Zheru Old business.

Especially the scale of this department has expanded so fast that Tang Huan has even deliberately established an erp company similar to the German sap.

Gerstner, who has 13 years of McKinsey and 3 years of work experience in American Express, fits the standard in Tang Huan's mind.

Of course, Tang Huan also has a bad taste that cannot be declared. If he can follow the historical development track and export Gerstner to ibm in the future, then the fun will definitely be small.

For these reasons, Tang Huan showed great enthusiasm for Gerstner's arrival, and took him to visit, hold meetings, watch golf, and even play golf for several days, so as to actively interact with him on different occasions~www. readwn.com~ Deepen mutual understanding.

After the communication was over, Tang Huan asked Gerstner to serve as the vice president, temporarily managing the erp department and responsible for the disciplinary supervision of the entire consortium.

It goes without saying that Tang Huan will look at Gerstner's specific work performance before deciding how to load him.

During this period, Judy Foster took the initiative to come to the door.

Seeing the other person wearing big sunglasses and walking cautiously, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh, "You have all dropped out of school, and now there are paparazzi chasing you?"

"It would be great if I could get rid of these troubles so easily. I can't be quiet at home." Judy Foster sighed sadly. "I heard that you are in San Francisco. Boss's light, take a break."

"Didn't you work in France? Why don't you go to Europe to avoid the limelight?" Tang Huan asked sympathetically. (To be continued...)
