Chapter 0172 Private Jet Silicon Valley One

Tang Huan's vigorous cultivation made Christina extremely satisfied, so the next day she finally became a little reserved in public and began to carefully calculate her menstrual period.

As for the itinerary from San Francisco to Seattle, naturally everything is arranged by Christina's men.

Tang Huan can't remember how many times he has taken the Boeing 747 in the past year, but he has become accustomed to it anyway.

However, this dull feeling is obviously not comparable to the satisfaction of owning a private jet that belongs to you.

The Boeing 747, also known as the "jumbo jet", is also known as the "Zhubao Passenger Aircraft". It also has the reputation of "Queen of the Sky".

At first, Tang Huan was not interested in these comments, but now it is obviously different. He circled around the plane and looked around the plane, and the more he looked, he couldn't help but nodded and praised, "It turns out that there is a kind of queen style."

As a toy of a rich man, luxury cars are no longer a problem; although there is no yacht, he has a salvage fleet, which is obviously more taller. Now with this private jet that has officially entered service, Tang Huan couldn't help but think in a high spirit that he should be considered as having all five poisons.

"Dear, give this plane a name as soon as possible." Christina finished her suggestions excitedly, and then she gave an idea, "Why call it Tang Huan, okay?"

"No momentum." Tang Huan shook his head, and he turned his head and asked Christina, "You know what the US President's special plane is called."

"Of course, Air Force One. Could it be that you also want to imitate a name like No.1." Christina's eyes showed a deep sense of interest.

"Smart. That's the idea." Tang Huan smiled. "Look. I started out in Silicon Valley and my career is also rooted in Silicon Valley. In order to express my memorial significance, I called this plane Silicon Valley No. 1, isn't it just right?"

"Dear, you are always so creative. The name of Silicon Valley is indeed more impressive." Christina, who looked admiring, offered a fragrant kiss as if no one was around, expressing her admiration.

This pair of men and women with great wealth are not afraid of the name "Silicon Valley No. 1" to attract criticism.

Although the pilot Tang Huan found from Hong Kong Cathay Pacific has not yet been in place, Christina has already thought about it, and some pilots have already become familiar with the plane.

In fact, Tang Huan's many memory hodgepodges naturally included the captain's part. The foundation for flying the plane was still very solid, but he didn't have to make himself work so hard.

Next, Tang Huan had to go through a series of handover procedures with Boeing, so he went to visit Microsoft.

At this time, Microsoft was not a joint-stock company, but a partner company. There were only a few dozen people in total.

It can be said that if you develop according to Microsoft's current model and don't embrace ibm's thighs, it may eventually become as indifferent as most other companies in this period.

It can be seen that opportunities and noble people are really too important, and it is not difficult to understand the mood of some people to admire Feng Shui after they become famous.

While meeting Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Tang Huan also found another familiar face - Steve Ballmer. Although the other party had not turned into a bald head for Microsoft's efforts, Tang Huan still recognized him at a glance.

It seems that in this time and space, Gates, who was deeply stressed, invited Ballmer out in advance. Tang Huan muttered to himself that he was naturally very familiar with such a famous IT boss in his previous life.

As early as the first year of Harvard University, Ballmer established a deep friendship with his classmate Gates. The two were also friends with bridge cards. Such a close friend relationship was also the main reason why Tang Huan never had the idea of ​​attracting each other.

Later, Gates dropped out of school in his second year of college and left Harvard University to establish his own software company, Microsoft, while Ballmer continued his studies.

In 1977, after graduating from Harvard University, Ballmer worked as a product assistant at Procter & Gamble for two years, and then went to Stanford Business School to pursue a master's degree in business administration.

In the original time and space, on June 11, 1980, under Gates's deception, Ballmer dropped out of school like a best friend, left Stanford, and joined Microsoft. He became its 24th employee, and the first business manager hired by Gates.

In order to win over Ballmer, Gates initially promised that he would get an annual salary of $50,000, which is exactly one percent of the company's capital.

When Microsoft changed to a joint-stock company in 1981, Ballmer owned eight percent of the shares, the first employee to become a billionaire through only the equity rationed by Microsoft.

Of course, friendship cannot withstand the impact of long-term conflicts.

In July 1998, Ballmer was promoted to president and became CEO in January 2000. In 2008, Gates officially took over the power of Microsoft.

During this period, as the founder and with supreme prestige, Gates could naturally point fingers at the company. For example, the widely criticized operating system Vista wasted while wasting Microsoft resources, and also missed the best opportunity to compete with Apple and Google.

Ballmer has to take on these charges. Even though he began to change Microsoft's business strategy, the ship turned around and made slow progress. He completely lost the trust of the board of directors and had to retire in disgrace.

At the end of this series of corporate power struggles, Ballmer actually broke up with Gates.

Fortunately, as the longest employee of Microsoft, Ballmer has not gained nothing. The more than $20 billion in assets he owns is enough to make up for his injured heart.

Among the rich people who left Microsoft, each has their own pursuits. Simeone paid tens of millions of dollars to travel in space, while Ballmer spent $2 billion to defeat all competitors at the time and gained ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers from Donald Sterling, who was suspended for life by the NBA.

Looking at the two close brothers Gates and Ballmer in front of him, Tang Huan couldn't help but take a look at the corner of his mouth.

He remembered a rumor that these two guys have a habit at this age, that when they encounter difficulties and think hard, they will sit on chairs and sway their bodies. The difference is that one is front and back and the other is left and right.

Think about it, how intoxicating the scene would be when these two big names cooperated so well during the meeting.

Seeing that Tang Huan was very concerned about Ballmer, Gates introduced: "This is my college classmate Steve Ballmer, who is currently serving as a manager."

Tang Huan's current status is better than that of the other three big names. Naturally, there is no need to put his posture too low, and he soon started talking from all over the world.

In Tang Huan's view, as the two leading hardware and software in the current personal computer market, ibm cannot cooperate with Apple and Zheru. The historical trend will basically not change, and Microsoft will definitely benefit from it.

Since that's the case, it's better to make some layouts early.

ps: It’s the first day of the Lunar New Year soon, Happy New Year!
