Chapter 0292 tacit affection(1/2)

Tang Huan was speechless about Woz's crash. He tried his best to help him reduce his obsession with flying small private jets, but this low-probability incident still happened, only a while later.

This really fits the saying, human destiny is destined by heaven, but it’s a pity that Woz’s talent in electronic technology is a talent.

However, the impact of this accident is limited to the micro level. After all, Woz has achieved success and gained fame and fortune. His enthusiasm for work is almost entirely determined by his hobbies. His daily activities are all part of the appleii.

However, Mike Scott was forced to take a leave, and the senior personnel changes in Ceo's position were served by Chairman Markura, which had a far-reaching impact.

In addition, Wall Street's reaction is a bit intriguing and even accused her of being a nouveau riche. After being proud, she became frivolous and could share hardships, but she could not share wealth and honor. It is heartbreaking to treat old entrepreneurs like this.

Damn, when did the capitalists who have never known what integrity are, become so humane? Tang Huan is very puzzled.

The staff composition of Apple is relatively complicated. Since the beginning of its business in the garage, it has successively owned a group of old employees with low diplomas, part-time or full-time employees. These people are the groups that have not been allocated for stock interests after Apple went public.

Most of the employees recruited next were talents like EA's current CEO Hawkins, who had high education, and of course they also included some people who had dropped out of school but had very special talents, but there were many people with special attributes such as second-tier students. Because Jobs has been involved in recruitment, his employment standards are relatively unique.

Therefore, as CEO, Mike Scott, is really difficult to manage the company. He is also working hard, and his health is also problematic. He has a temper sometimes irritable and sometimes weird. He suddenly put a strong dose of medicine for Apple's chaos and planned to use a quick knife to cut the mess to deal with it. Tang Huan could also predict it.

As for Mike Scott being on vacation, it is purely a normal state of corporate politics and struggle. Wall Street does not have to worry about eating carrots and eating salty radish. You make such a random statement. It will affect the company's image.

You should know that although the ibm-pc number is called the new generation of 16-bit personal computers, in order to reduce costs, it uses the CPU of Intel8088, which is the shrinking version of Intel8086. The internal registers of the two are both 16-bit. However, the latter's external data bus is 8-bit, which is not a completely 16-bit CPU.

Appleii's upgraded version of Appleii's platform already has a large number of applications, especially Zheru's commercial software, and the performance may not be poor.

Therefore, in actual market competition, ibm-pc does not have the advantage of being a top-up as he thinks. If you want to make money from this field, you have to do it step by step, for example, you have to make the popular Appleiie in the entry-level market.

It is obvious. If Apple is criticized by others and loses its reputation in the market, Tang Huan's expectation of Appleiie to entangle ibm-pc may be greatly affected, which naturally attracted his great attention. Hurry back to Silicon Valley to see what's going on and don't hide any subsequent conspiracy behind it.

Taking advantage of the launch of Appleiie and the opportunity of Apple's stock price rising, Tang Huan sold most of the Apple stocks in his hands and offered to resign as director.

But Markula disagreed. Although Jobs didn't say anything, he also decided to keep him.

In the end, Tang Huan became an independent director, and his relationship with Apple was broken.

So, he got some internal news that the senior personnel changes at Apple were not as simple as the outside world.

Scott, who had a good personal relationship with Markura, planned a board of directors and tried to drive away the founders of Jobs and Markura, who were not doing business, so that Apple would become what he thought was "normal".

Moreover, this operation has also received support from many factions and is in a strong sense of connection.

I have to say that Scott's heart was resentful and seemed to deserve sympathy.

Markura belongs to a hedonistic school and neglects corporate affairs; while Jobs is arbitrary and transfers more and more company resources to the Mac project team.

In addition, three Apple founders, Jobs, Woz, Markula and Zheru founder Tang Huan, have established complex relationships through mutual holdings. Their right to know their decisions often exclude Scott or ignore his opinions.

Just like this year Apple exchanged Apple's shares for Appleiie, Scott disagreed with this, but Appleiie's market performance was very strong, and Apple's stock price also rose a lot, which made him swallow his anger for the time being.

Perhaps because of Woz's fading out at Apple, Scott, who was exhausted but unable to get comfort, saw hope for another world, and with some hints and support, he made a big move.

However, the founder's status is extraordinary. Markura and Jobs joined forces to put out Scott's uprising fire.

And it is said that Jobs was very proud and avenged the revenge that Scott agreed to expel himself from the Lisa project team.

Tang Huan was very troubled about Apple's chaos, so he naturally supported Markula's measures to maintain Apple's stability. What's the point of fighting in the internal battle in foreign enemies?

"The company is now calm." Markura smiled bitterly and handed over a document, "This is a report to be submitted on the special board, you can see."

Tang Huan casually looked through it and found that it was some content explaining the relationship between Apple and Zheru to shareholders.

For example, the two gentlemen agreement to give Asia, especially the Japanese market, to a generation of Fangyuan computers, is essentially just a form. Appleii does not have Han card technology and cannot gain a foothold in this market at all. It is better to give up decently.

Moreover, today, the first generation of Fangyuan computers has not entered the US market through formal channels as agreed.

For example, Appleiie, which is exchanged for Zheru shares in hand, has produced significant benefits for market sales, stock market reactions, company product planning, etc., and is definitely worth the money.

In addition, Zheru not only helped Apple computers expand its market share through killer applications, but also licensed patents for mouse control technology, etc.

In short, for a long time, Philosopher and Apple have benefited each other. There is no question of who takes advantage of whom.

Tang Huan put down the report and smiled knowingly, "It's okay to put it in the clear place, just say it."

"I hope it can be more convincing in terms of patent licensing." Markura looked at Tang Huan earnestly. "The graphics support characteristics of CG Rid and Wordeasy in the operation interface are very eye-catching. Lisa and the Mac project team are also constantly overcoming various difficulties in this field. If you have a conversation, you will undoubtedly promote the R&D progress."

Tang Huan thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay. However, we need to sign a detailed agreement so as not to have disputes in the future and hurt the harmony."

"It seems that the successive lawsuits with Global and ibm make you more cautious." Markura shook her head with a smile.

"How to do it specifically, you can arrange someone to go to Chambers. I won't attend Apple's board meeting in person, and I still have to work hard." Tang Huan said, and stood up to say goodbye.

...

Globally sued his account, and Tang Huan never thought it would be done in one go. He then flew directly to Los Angeles to go to the United States headquarters to check the results - to see the upcoming movies in advance.

Andy Albert led his subordinates to respectfully welcome the big boss into the office.

After Lianmei became Tang Huan's toy, it was highly treated. For example, the company's structure remained stable after the past deficits were not taken into consideration.

This made many people feel a little arrogant, thinking that the boss is a soft persimmon, and they can't help but feel arrogant.

But when they saw MGM's experience after falling into Tang Huan's hands, they were suddenly silent.

A special team composed of seniors in the fields of consulting, accounting, auditing, etc., directly entered the MGM headquarters and began a series of operations that are said to be called "shock therapy".

The shutdown and transfer, the salary was transferred and the job was transferred, and the MGM was repaired hard, and it has not ended until now.

If shareholders are dissatisfied, buy your shares. If employees are dissatisfied, ask you to make a decision, as if you are dissatisfied, you will not give up until you straighten your internal relationships.

Seeing this scene, Yuya Yuya's United American employees suddenly realized that they were too naive. How could a billionaire who climbed so fast be a good man and a trustworthy woman?

Tang Huan glanced and found that David Begelman, MGM's CEO and President, actually came to join in the fun.

This guy is the head of MGM during the time of Cork Kirkirian's power, and he has a professional manager contract for several years, so Tang Huan has not replaced him.

Anyway, the other party was in Colombia for "embezzling public funds" and left a record of the case. If he was not satisfied with his performance at any time, he could easily kick him away.

"The distribution rights of the movie you are interested in have been negotiated." Andy Albert handed over a document.

Seeing Tang Huan start reading, Andy Albert not only smiled bitterly, because several movies on the file were released by Universal Pictures at the beginning, and it was very busy that they successfully intercepted the truth.

This clearly remembers the hatred of the world, and Andy Albert secretly speculated.

Tang Huan focused on watching three movies that were supposed to be released by Universal Pictures: "Thefour Astros" - "Four Seasons", "Oongoldenpond" - "Golden Pond", "Conanthebarbian" - "Conan the Barbarian", among which "Four Seasons" will be released soon.

The theme of this movie is a romantic comedy, with a $6.5 million investment. The box office in time and space was more than 50 million US dollars. How could Tang Huan leave such a high income to Universal Pictures that offended him to publish it?

"We have seen the editing of "Conan the Barbarian" and I'm afraid the camera is too violent." Andy Albert said worriedly and hurriedly.

"You can ask professionals to evaluate it. However, isn't the selling point of "Conan the Barbarian" violence?" Tang Huan said as he turned his eyes to the male lead column, and the actor was Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"By the way, leave "Conan the Barbarian" to MGM to operate." Tang Huan glanced at David Bigeman. "MGM can't always be silent like this."

David Bigelman nodded and sighed in his heart. Although MGM is much larger than United States, it has done nothing for many years and is no longer qualified to compete for favor in front of the boss.

"As planned, "Golden Pond" will not be released until the end of the year, but I believe the quality of this movie will not be problematic." It can be seen that Andy Albert's most optimistic movie is "Golden Pond".

This is not surprising. You should know that the starring of "Golden Pond" is Katherine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, and Jane Fonda.

"The sample of the 007 movie "For Reyesonly" has also been sent." Andy Albert made a special reminder. He knew that Tang Huan was very interested in this subject, and ea was preparing to launch an electronic game after the movie was released.

Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "For Reyesonly, please design the release time of "For Reyesonly" and don't collide head-on with Paramount and Lucas' "Raiders of the Lost Ark". That movie will definitely be an invincible existence this year."

The "007" series of movies can be regarded as the most well-known signature of Lianmei. Of course, Tang Huan doesn't want it to suffer any setbacks. You should know that any failure is a loss of US dollars.

"I have heard of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" too." Andy Albert smiled bitterly, "The best schedules are those, and it's really hard to adjust."

After listening to the reports made by senior executives, Tang Huan glanced at David Bigelman, "I am going to put MGM's movie on the video tape to be released. Japanese manufacturers have already contacted me. They are preparing for production, and you must do your best to assist."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan's eyes fell on Andy Albert. "United States also needs to follow up. For example, those movies that failed box office can recover some costs through video."

Andy Albert quickly nodded and agreed with David Bigelman, for fear that Tang Huan would remember the end of "Gate of Heaven" last year.

After the meeting, lunch, and after a short rest, everyone came to the screening room to see how the sample was effective.

There are two movies in total: "Four Seasons" and "For Reyesonly" - "007's Top Secret".

After meeting with their respective producers, directors and others, the screening began.

...

After seeing the first batch of results of successfully intercepting Hu Global, Tang Huan was naturally very happy. This was just a small interest, and there was a follow-up.

However, because Lin Qingxia went to Xiangjiang and was preparing to film "The Emperor's Flower of Martial Arts", Deng Lijun did not return to Los Angeles, so Tang Huan's joy could only be left to savor it by herself.

So, Tang Huan stopped dragging on the slut. After taking a look at his son, he rushed to the east coast.

Goldman Sachs, the best thug, has already finalized the acquisition of radioshack.

After meeting, the proud John Weinberg and John Whitehead even joked, "Don, there is no new goal, we will take it for you."

"It takes time to digest the things I bought. There is no new acquisition plan for the time being." Tang Huan waved his hand, "Next, just help me do that big thing."

"That's really a troublesome job." As soon as he mentioned this, John Weinberg and John Whitehead felt the pressure and lost the mood of joking.

...

Due to the sudden death of Charlestandy, the top leaders of Tandy Company had huge differences in the direction of their future main business.

Although the normal operation of radioshack has basically not been affected, it is inevitable that he will feel confused and doubtful.

I am just an electronics chain store. I always follow the boss of the leather business. After all, it is not a long-term solution.

So Tang Huan took advantage of the situation and naturally took the radioshack, which was so relaxed that it was unbelievable.

The other party believes that this company, which is born in Silicon Valley, is a professional businessman who works in software and personal computers, is far more reliable than Tandy, which does leather business.
