Two days later, because Wu Ming had promised that there would be no change in management without major mistakes, EMC and Shugart Technologies agreed to the acquisition proposal.

EMC is now not well-known at all, so Wu Ming spent only $3 million to acquire an 80% stake in EMC.

At this time, Shugart Technology Company was already famous for manufacturing the industry's first 5.25-inch hard drive.

So Wu Ming spent a full $10 million to acquire 80% of the shares of Shugart Technologies. And changed the name of Shugart Technologies to Seagate, which he is more familiar with.

On this day, Wu Ming took Mark Hurd, Charles Simeone and the heads of the two companies, Richard Egan and Alan Shugart, to meet.

When they met for the first time, although the other party had heard of it, they still admired Wu Ming for being able to make such a big career at such a young age.

Wu Ming smiled and said eloquently: "Today, I invited the two of you here to tell me my future plans for EMC and Seagate. ”

Immediately, Wu Ming told Egan and Shugart about his plans for EMC's high-end storage and Polaris' Access database, Seagate's hard disk and Star Computer.

Richard Egan and Alain Shugart pondered for a while, looked at each other, and said in unison: "If it is really as you say, then we can really succeed." ”

Then Richard Egan touched his chin, and then said without saying anything, "But will your plan really succeed?"

Alan Shugart also looked hesitant and agreed: "Yes, after all, Apple II dominates the world in the personal computer market now, and the development of Star Computer has not even been completed, and it will be too difficult to fight a world in the future." ”

Wu Ming smiled slightly and said: "The CPU of the Star Computer will use a reduced instruction set ARM8 chip, and the performance is close to that of a 16-bit complex instruction set CPU. It has a RAM of 16KB that can be expanded to 64KB. It also has built-in Wordeasy, Excel, and Access three office software, and four games such as "Great Wall Cube", "Snake", "Tank Wars" and "Bubble Dragon" are installed at the same time. But he costs only $600. Do you think Star Computer will be welcomed after it goes public?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Wu Ming's description, a computer that always has so many features, but it only costs 600 dollars, which is more than half cheaper than Apple's computer.

Once listed, there is a real possibility of triggering a rush to buy.

Alan Shugart stammered a little: "If you include the cost of office software and games, then Star Computer has almost no profit at all!"

When Wu Ming heard this, he smiled and said: "You also said that there is almost no profit, office software and games were originally developed by my company, except for this part of the cost, the profit is still relatively large." As long as our computers occupy the market and make a name for themselves. Are you afraid that you won't be able to make any money?!"

Everyone understands Wu Ming's thoughts, Wu Ming just wants to make money at a low price. First use the low-cost first-generation computer to beat the reputation of Star Computer and Polaris Software. The second generation of computers was launched, and the wallets of customers began to be harvested.

However, everyone agrees with this strategy, after all, Star Computer is a late entrant, and if you want to develop rapidly, you must pay some tuition.

After that, Wu Ming and the five of them had a careful discussion on the joint development of the four companies. It wasn't until evening that everyone went home satisfied.

……

On this day, Wu Ming was on Polaris and Charles Simeone, leading everyone to develop the Access database.

"That's how it should be!"

Wu Ming swiped around the computer screen, and then kept tapping on the keyboard.

Charles Simeone shook his head and retorted, "No, no, it should be me." ”

Then Charles Simeone snatched the keyboard and worked on it.

The other programmers could only stand awkwardly and watch Wu Ming and Charles Simeone fight back and forth.

It should be said that Charles Simeone deserves to be a superstar of the future, even if Wu Ming has the advanced theories of later generations, he is often argued by him in some aspects.

Now the two are arguing over a section of the Access database.

At this time, Michael Ovitz walked over with a young man in his thirties.

Michael Ovitz walked towards Wu Ming with a smile on his face and shouted, "BOSS, what you confessed ......"

Before Michael Ovitz could tell the story, Wu Ming waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Michael, you sit aside and rest for a while, and when Charles and I are done talking, I'll come to you. ”

After speaking, Wu Ming turned his head and continued to discuss the question just now with Charles Simeone.

Michael Ovitz could only walk towards the next lounge with a depressed face.

The young man burst out laughing, looked at Michael Ovitz, and joked, "Michael, it looks like we're not here at the right time!"

Ovitz smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Yes, I didn't expect the boss to have such a side, I haven't seen him so serious." ”

Isn't it, Wu Ming usually looks like a hanger, and it is relatively rare to look serious. Not to mention the appearance of being so committed to work.

Sitting in the break room, Michael Ovitz and the young man talked.

Ovitz picked up a cup and drank some coffee, and asked hesitantly, "Lang, have you really decided?"

The young man, whom Michael Ovitz called "Lang," smiled and replied, "Of course, this is a great opportunity for me. I want to hold on tightly, but I can't let it go easily. ”

"Lang", whose full name is Ron Meyer, is one of the five founders of CAA, along with Michael Ovitz.

People who are very familiar with Hollywood should know this person. This man and Michael Ovitz are two of the most capable of the five founders of CAA.

Under the leadership of the two of them, CAA stood at the top of Hollywood step by step. It's just that the two of them jumped ship to Disney and Universal in 1995 one after another.

After Ron Meyer left for Universal, he became chairman and CEO of Universal Pictures for 18 years, making him one of the longest-serving directors of a major Hollywood studio.

During his administration, Universal Pictures produced blockbuster films such as Jurassic Park, The Mummy, Despicable Me, Snow White and the Huntsman, Teddy Bear, American Pie, Spy Movie, Fast and Furious, Pitch Perfect, and many more.

In addition, he also pushed Universal Pictures to buy DreamWorks, which will only lay golden eggs.

Later, after leaving Universal Pictures, he was promoted to vice president of NBCUniversal, one of the three largest commercial broadcasters in the United States.

It can be said that Ron Meyer's talent is really outstanding.
