Reborn Capital Madman

After years of rapid development, personal computers have changed from "toys" in the eyes of professionals to "productivity tools" that are widely recognized. The value of the entire industry has exceeded the 10 billion dollar mark, but it is not

Any company can naturally win the favor of corporate users like ibm. For example, Apple Computer's attempt to enter the commercial market through the third-generation Apple computer priced at more than 9,000 US dollars failed.

This reality further makes the market range between personal computers and small computers appear "blank", and user needs are objectively placed there, who can capture it with a sensitive sense of smell and take the lead in taking out mature and available products to

, Then this piece of cake is almost exclusive. After others wake up and come to compete for food, the leading position in the industry has been established.

Gaoxing Technology and Howard Hughes cooperate on servers and workstations according to this idea, and one provides technical achievements and the other provides local resources in the United States. Just like Gao Xian sold Huanyu's personal computer business to ibm, it opened up and seized the market.

The speed must be unstoppable, which is more in line with the current development situation than Michael Blumenthal's thought of Bora.

In addition, Gao Xian began to layout the server and workstation, and secretly maintained the personal computer standards he gave to ibm. If ibm really launched another set of personal computer standards, then the general technology used by the server and workstation can reduce the dimensionality to high

The personal computer standard, competing with the new ibm personal computer standard.

For example, the bus technical specifications of servers, workstations and personal computers are the same. One of the differences in the specific implementation is that servers and workstations use 32-bit and 16-bit bandwidth, and then the 16-bit bandwidth bus is first made.

The technology is reduced to those compatible machine manufacturers that hold the Gao personal computer standards, which is enough to compete with ibm.

The graphics workstations in the workstation product line are more intuitive and technical reference. After all, the graphics card components of personal computers will be a powerful booster to the development of personal computers for a long time in the future.

The location where Howard Hughes CEO Michael Blumenthal was led by Zhou Wenyao to visit is not a R&D department or laboratory with a dull atmosphere to the outside world, but a more vivid and specific application.

Scene.

The first stop is the data research department of Gaoyi United Corporation. Some analysts here are already using the backend as server and the front desk as personal computer or workstation platform to handle some of the work.

Zhou Wenyao mentioned in his introduction, "President Li Gen's tax reduction plan is also a tax reform, involving many complex calculation caliber adjustments. Our application software department aims at this new market demand, in servers/workstations/

A system has been developed in the architecture of personal computers, which has good user response and promising market prospects.”

Michael Blumensal nodded in admiration and joked, "I should have thought that Sir Gao would have the moon first."

Gao Xian smiled and said, "Okay, then go and see another successful application case that is not 'being close to the water and get the moon first'."

So, they went to the movie special effects company that Gaoxian invested in for George Lucas.

"You have heard of the Hollywood blockbuster "Raiders of the Lost Ark" released this summer. Many of the special effects in it were completed on our graphics workstation platform." Zhou Wenyao introduced.

Because Gao Xian wanted to make the diplomat He Fengshan issued a visa to Jews who wanted to escape from the clutches of Germany during World War II, Michael Blumenthal made a movie in recent years.

I had a little understanding of the dynamics of this circle, and he immediately said with amazement: "The preparation of the server workstation product line has been continuously improved beyond my expectations. The space for Howard Hughes to play is how to quickly promote the product in full swing

Going to the market.”

Zhou Wenyao did not leave Michael Blumenthal's room to play, and continued: "In the early stage of comprehensive marketing promotion, in order to completely dispel users' doubts, we can learn from the successful experience of large-scale computers and temporarily rent and sell them on behalf of others, but

This requires technical service departments to increase their investment."

Michael Blumenthal looked helpless, shrugged, and joked: "Paul, if you continue to say this, I'm embarrassed to speak up when discussing the Howard Hughes Company and the distribution of benefits of Gaoxing Technology.

”

Gao Xian, who was mainly accompanied by the tour with face, was amused. Seeing that he had no objection, he waved his hand and said, "I'm going to meet Charles Bludone, CEO of Bay Western Industrial Company, and you can discuss it."

...

Recently, it may be because of the significant increase in work pressure. Charles Bludorn is not in good health, and has a heart problem with the same old problem as Charles Dondy.

In this era, many business executives have heart disease, which may be related to their living habits. Workaholics, such as cigars, espresso, spirits, etc., are enough to be cool, but in the end they can't bear it.

.

Charles Bludoen asked Gao Xian to discuss matters, for nothing else, just to let Paramount and Sega use cash to help.

Among the top 500 Fortune, which is ranked by annual sales revenue, Bay Western Industrial Company, which almost squeezes into the top 50, is a typical diversified business enterprise, with investment areas including movies, video games, records, and publishing.

,Auto parts, machine tools, mining, sugar industry, real estate, textiles, clothing, etc., many of them have become the hardest hit areas under the current severe recession of the United States economy.

Just use the data of Fortune 500 data to see some problems. Last year when the US economic recession came out of a small V-shaped shape, that is, in 1980, the annual sales revenue of Gulf Western Industrial Company was more than 5 billion US dollars, but

The profit is only more than 220 million US dollars, which is equivalent to being seven behind in the rankings. It is also trying to diversify its operations a little more than half of the Coca-Cola company.

This year, the U.S. economic recession has become more serious, and the disadvantages of diversified operations of Gulf Western Industrial Corporation have become more and more obvious.

Of course, not all the investments of Gulf Western Industrial Company are full of hidden dangers. For example, Gao Xian has a veto on his right to speak and then "guids" Paramount, and Sega, who has been in the interests of Paramount, have always been

They are all stable sources of wealth with golden light, which has also become the reason why Charles Bludoen wants to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall.

After meeting, Charles Bludoen went straight to the topic and said, "Sir Gao, the overall situation of the Bay West Industrial Company is hidden in a crisis. I need Paramount to get cash to help."

Gao Xian did not immediately give an answer of agreement or denial, but tentatively said: "I want to hear first what measures you have taken from the entire level of the Bay West Industrial Company."

"Don't worry, Sir Gao, I won't hollow out Paramount in a shortsighted manner." Charles Bludoen, a slightly tired, waved his hand, "The measures are nothing more than just those, reducing operating costs, laying off employees, and selling the loss-making business.

If you can’t sell it, you can’t sell it. Fortunately, the investments of Bay Western Industrial Company in overseas are much better than those in domestic investments.”

Gao Xian nodded as soon as he didn't just tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. "In this way, Paramount and Sega will first take out $40 million in cash to support the turnover of Bay West Industrial Company. The subsequent assistance depends on the specific situation next year.

Let's settle again."

"You also know that the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" made a lot of money. The box office in North America alone was more than 200 million US dollars, and it is definitely a box office champion this year, but this kind of money must be earned with the momentum, so the sequel must be ready.

The budget has been set."

"But don't worry, I support Paramount to continue to assist Gulf Western Industrial Company in order to deal with the current hidden dangers."

Seeing Gao Xian promised so happily, Charles Bludoen breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir Gao, I am loyal enough. I thought it would take some more minutes."

Gao Xian laughed loudly, "I can see that you are actively preparing a complete set of response plans instead of just giving Paramount blood transfusions. So what reason do I have to object?"

"In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there were many hidden dangers in Hong Kong, Gao Yi could also provide some assistance to Bay Western Industrial Company."
