Chapter 417: The Decline of the Computer King

"I'm sorry, we are indeed a place to talk about business, but if we don't have a good attitude, we won't accept it. Xiao Chen is also a little tougher, although the company is small, but the boss behind it is very awesome, so he naturally doesn't have to be like a pug, begging those people to come to him.

And at first glance, that person looks like a bodyguard, not even an assistant, what kind of thing is he!

Xiao Chen obviously forgot that in fact, his status was not high before, but now, he has met a promising boss like Lin Qi, and he will naturally be prosperous in the future.

The bodyguard obviously didn't realize that the other party would be so polite, after all, he used to follow his master majestic, and now he met a person who didn't pick up, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"Ah Liang, how many times have I said that you should be polite to people, otherwise we will lose our popularity in the future. Just when Ah Liang was about to go crazy, a very familiar person Xiao Chen appeared behind the bodyguard, Xiao Chen froze at that time, he thought for a long time, who is this person, in short, it is definitely the most popular Xiaosheng recently.

"Are you Zheng Shaoqiu?" Xiao Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, of course, this is not because Zheng Shaoqiu is too handsome, but because Zheng Shaoqiu is too famous, the prince charming in the minds of many women. The current Zheng Shaoqiu's popularity is probably about the same level as the later Four Heavenly Kings.

Xiao Chen couldn't think of a reason for this big name to give up his development in Hong Kong. went to the Humen Film and Television Base in the mainland and visited him as a small company.

"I wish there was a private place now. Zheng Shaoqiu's mental state is not very good, and he seems to be in a hurry.

Then Zheng Shaoqiu came to the meeting room under the leadership of Xiao Chen, and then Zheng Shaoqiu told his own affairs, and it could be seen that he was really in a hurry to solve this problem, otherwise he would not even tell others about such a secret matter.

It turned out that this Zheng Shaoqiu actually divorced Feifei, at the beginning, Zheng Shaoqiu could be described as a cream student, how could it be that a bunch of good-looking stars didn't pick, but they fell in love with Feifei?

In fact, it is different from the rumors that the two fell in love with each other and got married, but because Fei Fei already has huge energy in the circle, can take Zheng Shaoqiu to develop, and can also block him in one sentence. When Zheng Shaoqiu was young, he thought about it for a while, but he still focused on his career and chose to marry Feifei.

Speaking of this, Zheng Shaoqiu felt a headache.

Continuing to tell, he doesn't dislike Feifei, it's just that Feifei's desire to control is too strong. Even if he has a lot of words with a female star, or plays a couple with a certain actress for acting needs, she will be jealous. originally thought that after getting married and having children, Fatty would be able to relax his control over him, but it turned out to be even more intense, using various bans or other warnings to beat and pinch him.

Including, Zhao Yazhi was also constantly harassed by fat and vicious words because of her partner with Zheng Shaoqiu.

Zheng Shaoqiu, who couldn't bear it, made a resolute decision to divorce in a fit of anger.

And after this decision, the public opinion in the entire circle was quickly controlled by Feifei, and one-sidedly attacked Zheng Shaoqiu for messing with flowers and grass and living up to Feifei. Moreover, many insiders who have a better relationship with Feifei have silently reached a ban agreement and will not ask Zheng Shaoqiu to film again.

"So, you can't stay in Hong Kong anymore. Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.

"That's right!" Zheng Shaoqiu said with a wry smile, "After the divorce, most of my property was given to Feifei, which belongs to going out of the house. And my daughter awarded me that even if it was for my daughter, I had to find a job. ”

"Wait, Mr. Zheng, your card is too big, I'm afraid that in a while, Humen Film and Television Base will not be able to find a play that matches your value!" Xiao Chen said.

"Can you give a supporting role? Isn't this the territory of your new entrepreneurship department? There are 200 million big productions every year!" Zheng Shaoqiu couldn't help but say with envy.

I think that at the beginning, Zheng Shaoqiu was still Mr. Lin's tenant, if Mr. Lin was not so developed at the beginning, he decisively hugged his thick legs, how could he let Fat Fat handle it to such a point now.

"Well, long-term cooperation, I guess you may not be willing to. We'll sign a short-term agreement, and I'll give you some work to do in the studio. The commission will be 10%, and when you don't want to continue to cooperate, you will be notified of the termination. There are no liquidated damages in the contract, and there will be no restrictions or restrictions on you. After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen came up with the best way to cooperate.

After all, the positioning of Nova Entertainment is to tap cheap mainland stars. Instead of expensive Hong Kong stars, with the current financial situation of Nova Entertainment, all the funds are not enough to pay the signing fee of a superstar's brokerage contract.

Therefore, running errands for a star like Zheng Shaoqiu to find work can only be regarded as the company's short-term business.

……

It's 1987, and it's almost October, and the decline of Wang An's computer company, although since the mid-80s, the popularity of PCs has been doomed.

But the dilapidated image was still after the stock market crash in October 87. This stock market crash is for some well-developed technology companies, even if the stock price plummets, it will later rise back and be able to hit new highs.

However, a broken ship like Wang An's computer not only did not recover later. Even as the company's performance got worse and worse, it continued to lose money, and eventually had to file for bankruptcy protection.

Of course, although Wang An Computer Company lost to the general trend, it is definitely not a weak player. Even, paperless office originated from Wang An's word processing machine. Later generations of computer office also borrowed some concepts from word processors. However, the popular personal computer is a general-purpose production tool, while the Wang An computer is a special-purpose computer with a narrow purpose.

Users who buy Wang An Computer Company products still need to buy personal computers from other companies. However, users who have purchased a personal computer do not necessarily need to buy Wang An's word processing machine, even if it is for printing, they only need to add a printer to the computer. This is also the reason why Wang An Computer Company failed!

Wang An Computer Company is actually quite powerful in terms of technology. Able to develop and produce CPU, hard disk, operating system, word processing software, printer...... It's just that his system is a special technology for Wang An's word processor series products, rather than a general technology with good compatibility and an open platform.

Even the later Microsoft king Bill Gates said that if Wang An could complete the second strategic transformation he set at that time, maybe there would be no Microsoft today, which shows how strong Wang An's personal strength and the company he established are, but even so, their Wang family is still going bankrupt, and the reason is naturally Wang Lie, the second chairman.

Wang Lie, as Wang An's eldest son, has been accustomed to a life of fine clothes and food since he was a child, and he has no sense of crisis, so naturally he has no success in his studies, what he can't do, and what he can't eat. And Wang An's most wrong decision was probably to make Wang An's computer company become a family-style management model, and he directly supported his son Wang Lie to the throne, which accelerated the company's downfall.

Lin Qi did not consider acquiring or cooperating with Wang An's computer company before, because the word processing machine produced by Wang An's computer company was currently the most mainstream word processing machine in the world and the mainstream equipment in the American office at that time. Due to its large number of ownership, the penetration rate in U.S. offices is even greater than that of Pangu computers, PCs, and Apple computers combined for office use.

In the heyday of Wang An's computer, it was the 146th super company among the 500 large enterprises in the United States, and Wang An was known as the top ten richest people in the United States, and the Chinese world was also the super-rich second only to Lin Qi. With Wang An's pride, it is difficult to succumb to Lin Qi.

If Wang An's personal health is still healthy, he can have the energy to govern the company. Perhaps the company will be able to reposition its product line through a series of adjustments, even if it is downsized, without going bankrupt.

However, in 1985, Wang An was diagnosed with cancer, and the torture of the illness made him a little unable to manage the company. It is precisely because of this that Wang An supported his mediocre son Wang Lie to serve as the chairman and general manager of the company.
