Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

"It's the news you leaked out?" Tang Huan asked with a frown as he watched the leader of this escape from Romania-Constantine Panayit.

Under the pressure of the sharp gaze of the richest man, Constantine Panayt, who had been talking for a long time, finally replied: "Please understand that people in difficult situations like us need the attention of the Western mainstream media. Okay. Put yourself a protective suit of public opinion..."

"I'm not in the mood to listen to you, a profit-seeking guy. I know exactly which media has given you benefits." After interrupting the other party in disgust, Tang Huan pointed to a portfolio and said: "Hurry up and take me to cash it out. I'll leave for your reward. If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, I will send you back to Romania, as well as your wife, and your whole family."

Hearing such a stern warning from the richest man, Konstantin Panayit was so scared that his forehead sweated and his face paled. If Gein was really retaliated by the other party in this way, then he who was thrown back to Romania would be judged to be worse than dead.

Carefully picked up the portfolio, and after reading the contents carefully, Konstantin Panayt said with a flattering smile: "Don't worry, with these foundations, my life will be quite secure. Dare to cause trouble out of bounds."

"It's useless to say more, I just look at your actions." After Tang Huan snorted coldly, he waved to the other party to get out.

...

After a while, Nadia Komanech walked in, accompanied by Nelkin. Able to escape to France safely and meet a trustworthy acquaintance, the former gymnastics queen, finally calmed down completely from the panic all day long.

Tang Huan looked at Nadia Comaneci, and the opponent was just over 28 years old and four years younger than Neeligin, but he was so haggard that he looked much worse than the latter. Fortunately, the foundation was still intact. After careful conditioning, it should be able to restore the original style.

"Tang, thank you for your selfless help." Nadia Comaneci thanked me very gratefully.

"Nothing can bring me a sense of accomplishment more than helping an outstanding lady get out of trouble." Tang Huan smiled slightly and said the truth.

However, he didn't point out another main reason for wading in this muddy water.

Needless to say, Nadia Comaneci, who fled Romania, is a model of "turning to the light" that the Western media loves to see, and the richest man at this stage needs to promote this to give himself a cover-anyway, Eastern Europe There is a pattern that is about to be overturned, it is better to take the waste and use it. In the future, there is no ambition, but a pair of knees.

"Just now, I met Constantine. He said goodbye, saying that everyone would rush to the United States in batches." Nadia Comaneci tentatively said: "Originally, we agreed to go to the United States together. When we got there, he would serve as My manager."

"It's almost the same as a tool for collecting money." Tang Huan, who took out a portfolio from the drawer, said lightly: "Look, what did this shrewd guy have done in the short time he arrived in France? ?"

Nadia Comaneci, who looked suspicious, immediately flushed with anger after reading the information, "I didn't expect Konstantin to be so overly, but because everyone was a friend who lived and died together, he escaped."

"This is the answer to that sentence, knowing people, knowing the face and not knowing the heart." Tang Huan commented leisurely.

"Tang, I'm very sorry, it's because of my relationship that I have added so much trouble to you." Nadia Comaneci, who felt more and more impermanent, looked sad.

"It doesn't matter. If there are more lice, I'm not afraid of biting. I was spotted by the media." Tang Huan shrugged indifferently. "It's you, it's unnecessary to put a lot of pressure on it. Hunting strange. The media in China will hold a magnifying glass to observe the subtleties of your clothes, speech, behavior, etc., and then exaggerate them. This is completely different from the attention you received when you were an Olympic champion. "

"I will work hard through this difficult time." Nadia Comane said bitterly: "Tang, you will continue to help me, won't you?"

"Of course." Tang Huan nodded naturally. "The first step we need to do is to relax and recover to cope with the gymnastics performance when we meet with the media and the public."

...

When Nadia Comaneci fled Romania, the situation in Romania was already undercurrent.

On December 16, a fierce clash between the police and local residents occurred in Timisoara, Romania. As a result, the former shot and caused several casualties. This triggered a large-scale tour and demonstration in Romania. Event, and there was a rumor that "the Timisoara incident killed nearly 10,000 people"

On December 21, Romania’s supreme leader Nicolas Ceausescu mobilized nearly 100,000 people to participate in the rally and tried to guide people to revisit the Timisoara incident through speeches.

As a result, during the course of the speech, someone in the back row lit firecrackers, causing great chaos on the scene; at the same time, loud horns screamed, and the security department was shooting at the crowd. A "revolution" had begun - and so, A "revolution" broke out under the nose of Nicola Ceausescu.

On December 22, the opposition and opposition forces within the ruling group in Romania formed the "Conference Council of the National Salvation Front."

Realizing that Nicola Ceausescu had gone, they and his wife Elena Ceausescu tried to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the presidential palace by helicopter, and finally landed in the northwest of the Romanian capital Bucharest.

However, all of this was broadcast to the world by the Romanian national radio station, which had been turned away.

In the early morning of December 23, Ceausescu and his wife were arrested by the army supporting the "National Salvation Front Council".

On December 25, the Western Christmas Day, the Ceausescu and his wife were executed in a clearing in front of the toilet in the barracks in Dombovica County in southern Romania.

What is even more exaggerated is that the film of the interrogation and shooting process quickly circulated in France and other European countries, and even Romania’s own TV station was also broadcast.

The family members of the Ceausescu and his wife are naturally not immune, including their youngest son, the third prince who used to scold Tang Huan at the 1988 Seoul Olympics-Niku Ceausescu. , Was locked up in a barracks near Bucharest, and was taken to Romanian national television to show the country.

In this way, Nicolas Ceausescu's 25-year rule disappeared.

...

Tang Huan, who was watching with cold eyes, was rushing to the end of the year to see the bloodiest drama in this great change in Eastern Europe. In addition, the occupation of Panama by American soldiers is not generally good-looking.

Regarding all these events one after another, apart from "the world is impermanent", the richest man really doesn't know what to say.

Nadia Comaneci, who is now in the United States, has escaped. Through the CNN and other pro-Tang media, she is subtly promoting the charitable deeds of the richest man and is working hard to return to sports.

Of course, the lace news surrounding Tang Huan and Nadia Comaneci has never been interrupted. Invisibly, it has distracted the attention of the previous media on politics and governance.

When Tang Huan arrived in London in January 1990 to start negotiations on the acquisition of Jaguar, there were still reporters from the Sun newspaper who came forward and asked: "Tang, now you and Nadia Ko What is the relationship with Manech?"

Without a wink from the boss, the bodyguard unceremoniously took him away.

The other party shouted reluctantly: "You can't treat me like this..."

The assistant who motioned in disgust to drive this guy further away, said sarcastically: "You should thank us for our help. After you go back, you have a new rumor gimmick."

Tang Huan naturally didn’t bother to pay attention to these boring noises. During the brief exchanges between the airport and the media, he solemnly stated, “I didn’t buy Jaguar for a dog like the rumors, but really became interested in this company. ."

"In my opinion, the application of computer technology will be more and more integrated with traditional fields. As the most important means of transportation, the automobile is an extremely important platform. The current global automobile industry mergers and acquisitions have just given My opportunity to enter this traditional field."

"Buying Jaguar is only the first step, and then I should start other investment plans in Europe to promote the wider application of computer technology."

Regarding the statement of the richest man, the media interpreted it from two aspects.

First of all, the British no longer have to "glass hearts"-Tang Huan officially clarified that the model of the British automobile industry-Jaguar, of course, will not be compared with a dog. I believe this friendly signal can remove a lot of unnecessary entanglements.

Secondly, the richest man in an enemy country seems to be launching a sweeping mode in Europe. Next, everyone is likely to see the spectacular sight of "buy, buy, buy".

Britain, which has been waiting for a price among GM, Ford, and the richest man, happily accepted this trend, and was ready to wait for the three "high, rich and handsome" to distinguish between the high and low, and then the "girlfriend" style The scenery is sold at a good price.

In fact, the reason why Jaguar is so miserable now is the first reason to bear the brunt of the irony-financial strategy mistakes.

For a long time, the United States has been Jaguar's largest consumer market in the world-its sales in the United States: 15,815 in 1983; 18044 in 1984; 20,528 in 1985.

It is not difficult to see how strong the growth momentum of Jaguar in the US market is. Jaguar estimates that about 75% of potential consumers live in the United States.

However, everything has two sides. The more important the US market is, the greater the pressure that Jaguar will face in international payments.

As we all know, Britain, the former “empire that never sets,” has a soft spot for maintaining the strong position of the pound, and is determined to remain committed. But after the Plaza Agreement was signed in 1985, the U.S. dollar entered a fast track of significant depreciation against other currencies.

Where the UK can compare to the bullish Japan, its domestic companies are very sensitive to this trend of "less and less valuable".

In this way, Jaguar adopts a strategy called forward hedging, which hedges 50% to 70% of the U.S. dollar return in the next 12 months.

The shrewdness of British businessmen is beyond doubt, and it is not as good as Japan's "durability." What's even worse is that the "Black Monday" of 1987 upset the global financial market, and Jaguar's old and serious move turned out to be a blow.

In the financial dilemma, Jaguar still has a huge demand for cash.

Gein, Jaguar faces a very difficult problem, that is, a single product. All its sales depend on two models-the three-generation xj-6 developed and put on the market in 1968 and the xj-s developed and put on the market in 1975.

In contrast, Japanese automakers have shorter production and development cycles, and German luxury cars have higher safety and product diversity ~ www.readwn.com ~ Jaguar must change the situation of single product.

Ever since, starting from the mid-1980s, when life was the best, Jaguar gave a lot of money.

First of all, after spending 7 years and 200 million pounds, Jaguar finally successfully launched a new model in October 1986, which is a completely innovative model since the xj-6 model in 1968.

In addition, in July 1985, Jaguar decided to automate the renovation of its production plants, and this transformation, which cost 500 million pounds, will last from 1985 to 1990.

In 1985 and 1986 alone, Jaguar spent 37 million pounds on the engine development center, and when it was completed in 1988, it spent a total of 55 million pounds.

That is, in this year, in order to ensure the necessary cash flow, Jaguar had to cut expenditures, and at the same time announced that in the next two years, expenditures will be less than 100 million pounds, and implement cost control plans to reduce operating costs by 50 million pounds.

The reason for this is that Jaguar's earnings have fallen sharply. In 1987, profits fell by 18%, and in 1988, profits fell by 53%.

To make matters worse, the future prospects of the US market are still not optimistic, and Honda, Nissan, and Toyota have joined the competition of high-end US cars one after another, and Jaguar directly defeated the price barrier.

Jaguar, who is troubled at home and abroad, is so miserable now.

Although everyone knows that as long as the money is in place, this veteran car company should not be difficult to regain its vitality. But who is willing to take such a large amount of money at unpredictable risks?

GM and Ford have thrown out the olive branch, but the conditions are not good, and the richest man, who has no background in the automotive field, is extraordinarily amiable and lovely in the eyes of the British.
