Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 1052 Look at this market is still alive

…

Although An Ran’s network of relationships is complicated, Tang’s high-tech kingdom, who is struggling to break the last ceiling on his head, is not a good person.

After receiving Jerry Brown’s request for help, Tang Huan acted quickly and began a high-profile comprehensive inspection of the California high-speed rail, and officially announced that Zheru Software will subscribe to the California high-speed rail short-term bonds of one billion US dollars.

Isn’t the philosophical software company caught in the vortex of monopoly that the cash reserves are so much jealous and daunting, it has even attracted the voice of deliberate tax avoidance.

That’s good. Zheru Software Company transferred one billion dollars back to the United States to support the California high-speed rail.

It can be said that this is the first time that Tang Huan has openly supported the operation horizontally in his huge industrial kingdom.

Jerry Brown, who accompanied the richest man to inspect the California high-speed rail, said: “The funds obtained from Zheru Software will be mainly used to improve the energy security of the entire system.”

Many onlookers who were attracted by this movement couldn’t understand the doorway in the bustle: Enron, a star company that cooperates with the California high-speed rail, should be regarded as a perfect match. Why is it so stale?

Observers can only give specious explanations: California, which used to be mainly hydropower and nuclear power, has opened up the energy sector, and local energy companies such as Pacific Watt have been suppressed in the face of out-of-state energy companies represented by Enron. I couldn’t hold my head up, and made the California High Speed ​​Rail, which signed long-term preferential service contracts with local energy companies in the beginning, feel a crisis.

On the other hand, Enron has a wide range of operations. In addition to electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, etc., it will also penetrate into the financial field. For example, in California, it has established a joint energy development investment company with California pension funds. Joint venture. For Enron’s ambition to expand beyond the energy sector, California high-speed rail is more vigilant, so it reacts coldly to the cooperation between the two parties.

Tang Huancai didn’t bother to comment on this similar comment. Now so many people are bewildered by Enron’s gorgeous appearance, and it is useless to say more.

Besides, what position do I have, and what reasons do I have to give others “free” guidance.

The tough posture of the richest man is to tell An Ran: It doesn’t matter whether you lose or take advantage of a small-scale cooperation like Blockbuster in the past, but don’t stretch your hand too long! The monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation is just an obstacle to the Downs High-tech Kingdom, not a disaster that you can take advantage of the fire to rob.

The world is so broad, you do your energy, I do my high-tech, everyone does not offend the river.

But An Ran’s perseverance, or greed, is still underestimated.

At a meeting at a later event, Kenneth Lay, Chairman and CEO of Enron, entangled with Tang Huan again.

…

After the richest man has supported the California high-speed rail, he has to return to the focus of the moment, the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation monopoly case.

For this reason, Tang Huan’s next trip is to inspect the investment of Zheru Software in various states in the United States, such as R&D centers. The implication here is that the twenty states that followed the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Philosopher Software’s monopoly can only be unspeakable.

The first stop of the arrangement is Austin, Texas, known as the “Silicon Hill”.

Texas did not join the ranks of the plaintiffs in the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation. Tang Huan first came to Texas to increase his bargaining chips for Xiao Bo, who is fighting for re-election as governor this year.

You must know that the current IT industry positions are extremely hot, and many young people are sharpened their heads and drilled into it. The emphasis on Texas by Philosopher Software means an increase in hiring opportunities.

If this purpose is a bit “virtual”, then the other purpose must be regarded as “real”.

Old Bushi’s third son, Neil Bushi, plans to establish an educational software company called “Burning Learning” in Austin, and is investing everywhere.

Tang Huan took his eldest son Jin Chang with him again. Anyway, he was very easy to deal with his studies, so he might as well have more practical experience.

As for Jin Ge, a compatriot with Jin Chang’s milk, because he was a bit naughty, the richest man didn’t bother to take him by his side and made unnecessary trouble.

“This is an investment of two million US dollars for Burning Learning Education Software Company. At that time, you will be responsible for handing over to Neil Busten.” Tang Huan pointed to a document on the table and instructed his eldest son.

“Understood.” Jin Chang, who nodded in agreement, opened the file and glanced at it, then smiled: “Neil Busten’s consultant consulting fee is quite high.”

“It’s all like this…” The richest man put down his cup and said leisurely: “Saudi Arabia gave three million dollars.”

Jin Chang’s face showed an unexpected look, “In this way, the amount of financing for this burning learning education software company will not be less?”

“At least more than 20 million U.S. dollars.” Tang Huan nodded slightly, “This is the reflection of the Bu Shi family.”

Old Bushi and his wife Barbara have four sons. According to rumors, the eldest son Bushi, the second son Jeb Bushi, and the third son Neil Bushi will run for Texas, Florida, and Governor of Colorado.

Now, Xiao Bu Shi has almost completed his first four-year term as the governor of Texas and is seeking re-election.

In 1994, Jeb Boshi also launched an assault on the governor of Florida, but the ending was very different from the big victory of his brother, Boshi, who ran for the governor of Texas in the same year. The second gap is regrettably defeated.

This year, Jeb Busten, who has learned from his painful experience, restarted and ran for the election again.

As for Neil Buten, he is destined to miss the governor of Colorado. A scandal in Gein has ruined his possibility of entering the political arena.

During the U.S. Federal Savings and Loan Crisis from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the Silverado Savings and Loan Institution in Colorado was the hapless one among the many bankrupts, leaving 1.3 billion. Dollar debt.

At that time, Neil Bushi was the director of the agency, and it was determined by the Federal Reserve Supervision Office that he had an interest in the bankruptcy case. In addition, Bushi was still in the presidency and caused a lot of turmoil for a while, and it almost became a financial institution. Synonymous with scandal.

Investors collecting debts, protesters posting satirical portraits that read “Send Neil Busten to the cell”… It just made Neil Busten’s reputation into the street.

In the end, Neil Bushi paid a $50,000 fine to avoid jail time, but because of this he lost his prestige qualification to compete for the governor of Colorado.

After ruining his career in the political arena, Neil Bushi concentrated on business like his fourth brother, Marvin Bushi, and some of the political resources of Lao Bushi are reflected in Neil Bushi. The company’s contacts are extensive, just like the financing of the current Burning Learning Education Software Company, which has been sought after by various forces.

…

After the plane landed, you could see Neil Busu waiting with a big smile on his face.

After the blow, this old man seemed a bit cynical. Compared with the other members of the Bu Shi family, he was not so reserved.

As soon as they met, he was the same age as the richest man, he joked with Tang Huan and joked about Jin Chang who followed behind in bad Chinese, “I’ll introduce you to a beautiful woman later.”

The performance of Neil Busten is not strange.

You know, Lao Bo Shi has a very rich political resume.

From shortly after Nixon’s visit to China to the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1979, the United States established the director of the Liaison Office in the Chinese capital, which is equivalent to the position of ambassador, and Lao Bushi served for two years.

During this period, the brothers and sisters of Neil Bushi have all been to China. In his words, they went to the zoo to watch pandas curiously, and Chinese tourists watched them curiously.

After chatting with Neil Bushi for a few words, Tang Huan asked casually, “Should I introduce a few technical elites to Burning Learning Education Software Company?”

“Of course it’s better.” Neil Bushi nodded happily, and then said with a change of conversation: “Tang, at a banquet for a while, you will meet someone you may hate.”

The richest man raised his brows and asked motionlessly: “Who is that?”

“It’s Kenneth Lay, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Enron.” Neil Busten slapped haha, “You have to be considerate of me. He has to use this event to communicate with you, but I can’t Refused to mediate in the middle.”

Tang Huan nodded, “It’s okay to say something clearly in person.”

…

It is a pity that Neil Busten’s hard work was destined to be wasted, and the talks between Kenneth Lay and Tang Huan quickly fell into a deadlock.

Kenneth Lay put out the rules of survival in the jungle and preached as a matter of course: “The anti-monopoly lawsuit between Zheru Software Company and the Ministry of Justice is now underway, and the situation has become clear. It is very likely to become The second AT&T company. Tang, at this time, you need to cooperate with us Enron to increase your weight.”

The richest man, who secretly complained about “I don’t need a weight like Enron,” said in a clear and clear voice: “I think that the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company’s monopoly case is a precious test of tempering and sublimation.”

Kenneth Leipy sneered without a smile: “I’m afraid that at that time, Zheru Software will be turned into a few rusty iron bumps.”

“That’s not necessarily.” Tang Huanqi calmly said: “Zheru Software Company’s position in this field is irreplaceable. It is prosperous, the entire industry is prosperous; it declines, and the entire industry is declining. The layman doesn’t understand it, so it’s better to add less Reconciliation is good.”

Seeing that the conversation between the two reached a dead end, Neil Bushi hurriedly came out to make a round and suggested with a smile: “The golf course of this club is in a good environment. It’s better for the two of you to play together.”

Kenneth Leppy didn’t move his ass, but glanced at the richest man from the corner of his eyes.

Tang Huan beckoned to his son, and was being entangled by the young daughter of Neil Busch, who had a “famous style Sao (harmony) female” style, Lauren Bush, and the entangled Jin Chang. , Quickly got up and walked over.

“I’m not in the state today, let David accompany him.” After a faint confession, the richest man added: “This kid’s game is played with Tiger Woods, don’t underestimate it!”

Kenneth Leppy stood up with a ferocious face and said to Neil Busten: “There are still things on the company’s side. I won’t stay here any longer.”

After sending away the chairman and chief executive officer of Anron, Neil Bushi came back and shook his head at Tang Huan and sighed, “Tang, you are making a run, I am embarrassed for him.”

The richest man can naturally give his own explanation, “An Ran thinks that Zheru Software Company is deep in the anti-monopoly whirlpool, and it can take advantage of me. To be honest, I also like to take advantage of the fire. After all, the game in the business field is inevitable. But this does not mean that I can accept being robbed by others.”

Neil Busten scratched his head and was speechless.

“Well, I won’t bother too much.” Tang Huan stood up and said goodbye: “I also want to inspect the branches of Zheru Software Company in various states. The itinerary has already been arranged.”

…

Just as the richest man entered the sprint stage with the 1998 midterm elections in the United States, and while he was in various states, there was a big movement in the IT field, that is, Microsoft drove away another competitor, PeopleSoft, and would fall into business difficulties Sybase, the database vendor of China, is in the bag.

Wall Street reacted positively to this Microsoft’s stock price rose sharply in response.

According to the analysis of observers, Gates is very clever.

Originally, Microsoft and Sybase had cooperated to jointly develop the enterprise-level relational database sql_server, but in the end they parted ways because of their differences.

Since then, compared to Sybase’s remarkable performance, Microsoft has not done anything to do with enterprise-level databases.

Now that Microsoft has acquired Sybase, the database product of both parties, which can be called the “same root”, it will quickly make up for the shortcoming of enterprise database.

You know, now. There are so many com websites. Behind each one is inseparable from the enterprise-level database. The market space is too large. Just aiming at the needs of small and medium-sized customers can be full of food.

With the capabilities that Gates has demonstrated over the years, Wall Street has every reason to believe that Microsoft will have a substantial profit point from now on.

At this time, the richest man in Florida was asked by the media: “Tang, PeopleSoft has never competed with Microsoft. Sybase, an important cross-platform database vendor, was snatched away. What do you think about this? ?”

“Of course it is very regrettable.” Tang Huan sighed and spread his hands. “Look, this market is still very dynamic, and the level of competition is still fierce. It is not surprising that PeopleSoft came back empty-handed.”

Ever since, Tangit’s helpless feeling was quickly regarded as entertainment news and moved to major mainstream media.

Watching Tang Daheng’s wonderful performance, many people can’t help but wonder.

Didn’t the Ministry of Justice say that Tang controlled the life and death of the entire software industry through Zheru Software?

It is not a matter of grasping to win Sybeth!

Why is the chain dropped now?
