After the rise of Star Entertainment, with money in hand, Wu Ming found a headhunting company and asked them to contact Michael Ovitz.

At first, Michael Ovitz naturally rejected Wu Ming's acquisition request, after all, although CAA was not as brilliant as it was at the peak of later generations, it was already a small achievement.

It wasn't until Wu Ming said some of CAA's business strategies exactly and threatened Michael Ovitz that if he didn't want to, then Wu Ming would spend a lot of money to smash another agency to fight against him, that Michael Ovitz showed a hesitant look.

Then, Wu Ming said that he would spend $20 million to acquire 70% of CAA's shares, and the remaining 30% would still be left to them, and CAA would still be managed by them, and he would not interfere.

Michael Ovitz agreed to Wu Ming's acquisition proposal with difficulty.

After Wu Ming acquired CAA, he kept his promise and did not change their position, and told them some of CAA's business strategies in the future, and later took them to make a lot of money by speculating in oil futures, and now Michael Ovitz has completely surrendered.

The remaining two people couldn't help but boil their blood when they heard Michael Ovitz's bold words, and they looked excited.

When Wu Ming saw it, he smiled and said, "Charles, Mark, it seems that you can't wait!"

The young man who was called Charles by Wu Ming touched his head, showed an embarrassed look, and said: "It's really a little, after all, watching other companies' software attack cities in the market, and we can only watch it, it's really a little anxious." ”

Another young man named Mark smiled wryly, "I'm so sorry, Charles. It's our Star Computer that is dragging you down. ”

After the research of the A8 chip, Wu Ming decided to enter the personal computer industry and the software industry.

Later, with Yu Youcheng's connections in the United States and the help of headhunters, coupled with the lure of high salary, he successfully pulled a computer development team and a software development team.

Then "Star Computer Company" and "Polaris Software Company" were founded.

However, Wu Ming could not stay in the United States for a long time, so he had to find two people at the helm to manage the two companies.

After some flashbacks, he locked on Charles Simeone and Mark Hurd.

Charles Simeone was the chief architect of Microsoft Corporation, and single-handedly established Microsoft's programmer management system, and Microsoft's software such as Windows, Word, and Excel were successfully developed under his leadership.

It can be said that Microsoft has been able to develop into the giant of later generations, and Charles Simeone can be said to have contributed a lot.

And Mark Hurd is not a simple figure, he has served as the CEO of the cash register company NCR, Hewlett-Packard and Oracle in his later life.

While at NCR, it took him a year to increase NCR's net profit almost fivefold, from $58 million to $285 million.

Later, under his leadership, Hewlett-Packard replaced Dell as the world's largest computer seller, with revenue exceeding $100 billion for the first time, and also replaced IBM as the world's largest technology company.

Regarded by many as the best business leaders in Silicon Valley.

At first, Charles Simeone was reluctant to accept Wu Ming's invitation.

After all, you're a game developer, and you're in the computer software industry to join in the fun. Later, in order not to be bothered by Wu Ming, he didn't even answer the phone.

In order to subdue this bull, Wu Ming had to write a letter to him about some theories invented by Charles Simeone that he had read in the book in the future.

After receiving the letter, Simone was shocked that some of the views and ideas in it coincided with him, and they were even more advanced. After all, it was all invented by him in the future.

After that, Charles Simeone often called Wu Ming to exchange software knowledge with him. Because he couldn't enjoy talking on the phone, he actually ran to Xiangjiang to find him in person.

In order to attract this bull to join, Wu Ming also said the advanced theories put forward by many other people in his previous life.

Last month, Simeone finally decided to join Wu Ming's Polaris Software. Currently, he is leading a group of people to develop the operating system "Polaris 1.0" for the sister company Star Computer.

Mark Hurd, on the other hand, was an easier time to invite, as he was just starting to work at NCR. was tempted by Wu Ming's position as CEO, and immediately abandoned his original job and joined Star Computer Company.

Charles Simeone waved his hand and comforted, "Mark, I didn't think you would drag us down. I should say I'm looking forward to the high-performance PC you're working on. After all, that's what leads to more advanced software. ”

Mark Hurd nodded, indicating that he didn't mind.

Wu Ming also smiled and said, "I won't let you wait too long, Charles." This time I'm going to stay in the United States and leave at Christmas. Except for the occasional visit to Star Investment, I will spend the rest of my time developing Polaris 1.0 with you. ”

Hearing this, Charles Simeone immediately showed a look of ecstasy on his face, and laughed loudly: "That's great! With the addition of you, a programming genius, Boss, our development efficiency will definitely be much faster." I'm sure I'll have Polaris 1.0 in two months. ”

Mark Hurd also sighed: "It's a pity that you don't know how to develop computers, boss, otherwise our computers would have been launched earlier!"

Wu Ming smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think that a child of my age can learn the knowledge of those electronic hardware?"

Mark Hurd paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's really boss, you're too mature, I forgot that you were still a child." But boss, you're right, a genius like you can appear in programming. But there's so much to learn about hardware, and you have to be in your teens at least to become a qualified developer.

After pondering for a while, Wu Ming asked, "How is the development progress of your computer now, and how long will it take to complete the development?" IBM's personal computers will be launched in the second half of next year, and we will have to seize the market as soon as possible before then. ”

How strong the giant IBM is, Mark Hurd naturally knows very well.

After thinking about it, Mark Hurd replied: "Because the system was developed by Charles and others, we only need to be responsible for the hardware side, so it will take about half a year." ”

Hearing this, Wu Ming said with a smile: "That's good, when the time comes, with the performance higher than that of Apple computers, plus a few software I developed, I believe that our Star Computer will definitely be able to occupy a place in the personal computer market." ”
