While Tang Huan was planning for the layout of his IT applications in the consumer market, the progress in the commercial field was also significant, and the computer information management system division of Zheru Company, including ERP system, had been spun off and became a wholly-owned subsidiary called PeopleSoft, which was mainly engaged in IT services.

That's not the point, the point is that PeopleSoft has already secured access to a world-class accounting firm, Arthur Young & Company.

At present, the pattern of this field has not yet reached the final stage of the world's four largest accounting firms, but the eight largest accounting firms.

These include: Arthur Andersen, Arthur Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Whinney, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, ToucheRoss, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The reason why the cold mainframes and minicomputers from IBM, HP, DEC and other companies can play a high role in the business processing of various enterprise users is not unrelated to the efforts of the manufacturers' own service departments.

For example, the blue giant has close ties with Arthur Andersen, the number one at this time, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The main business of these accounting firms is to provide audit, tax, transaction, consulting and other services to various enterprises, and PeopleSoft needs consulting services.

PeopleSoft has already co-opted a few smaller firms. to further complement their own strength in the professional field. But nowhere near as helpful as working with Arthur Young.

Before. PeopleSoft's business is mainly to sell its own products - various information management systems, the most powerful and complex of which is ERP.

Now, PeopleSoft is looking to take it to the next level, offering high-end IT solutions, and even lobbying companies to outsource their IT services for the first time.

Louis Gerstner, who performed well at McKinsey & Company and American Express, contributed greatly to these developments of PeopleSoft, and Tang Huan couldn't help but praise them.

"What about Seeq? I guess Gordon Campbell will come to his senses. Louis Gerstner specially reminded Tang Huan of this matter.

"It's as long as it can be delayed. Tang Huan smiled slightly, "The development of the personal computer market is very fast, and in another half a year, it is estimated that IBM-PC/AT will be fully distributed in the market, and the IBM-PC motherboard compatible chips developed by Gordon Campbell and others will fall in value, even if they can find a way to produce and sell, it will take at least half a year." The market timing has been lost again and again, and the tide of IBM-PC compatible machines that it may trigger has basically disappeared. ”

"I guess it's time. There will be a larger split at Seeq. Louis Gerstner shook his head.

"The hearts of the people are scattered, and it is useless to force them to stay. Tang Huan didn't care. Even if the "Intel Gang" in Seeq rebelled en masse, the EEPROM technology has been digested, and it is the same with or without them.

The two discussed all the way, and soon arrived at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, where there was a reception for the executives of Arthur Young.

The big accounting firms in Europe and the United States generally have a long history.

Take, for example, Arthur Young & Co., which was founded in Chicago in 1906 by Arthur Young, an American, and in 1924 began an alliance with BroadsPaterson & Co., Bird Paterson, a prominent firm in the British market.

In 1979, its European office merged with several of the larger local firms to become a member firm of Arthur Young International.

At the end of the 1980s, Ernst Whitney acquired Arthur Young to form Ernst & Young, one of the Big Four accounting firms.

Until the SEC uncovered the conflict of interest between audit services and advisory services for accounting firms, consulting services were a lucrative business for both Arthur Young and PeopleSoft.

The difference between the two is that Arthur Young is stronger in the professional field, while PeopleSoft is stronger in the IT field.

The ultimate purpose of providing consulting services is to sell its own IT products such as information management systems and general business modules similar to various middleware based on JAVA in the original time and space.

Tang Huan emphasized at the reception that PeopleSoft's consulting services are not aimed at stealing business from accounting firms, but mainly to actively adopt their own IT solutions for the purpose of expanding large enterprise customers.

To put it more bluntly, PeopleSoft wants to grab business, but also to grab business from IBM, HP, DEC and other companies.

……

After Tang Huan got into the car with a smell of alcohol, the secretary told him that Lin Qingbian had just called and said that he had returned to San Francisco.

Tang Huan immediately understood that Lin Meiren needed her own comfort, so hurry over.

Because the release time of the first "Real Estate Storm" of "Senior Sister Heroic" did not catch up with the deadline for the Golden Horse Awards last year, it had to be classified as this year's Golden Horse Awards.

And the second "Money Empire" has been released recently, which has invisibly played a role in shouting and cheering, which suddenly made Lin Qingfang and her team hot, and the nomination was soft, and Lin Qingfang's thoughts about the Golden Horse Awards naturally became inevitably strong.

But the actual situation of the Golden Horse Awards is that since "The Story of Time" started the "New Film Movement" on Treasure Island in 1982, those works with heavy themes and thought-provoking will be favored.

To put it bluntly, the more tragic the storyline, the greater the hope of winning the award.

For example, the best feature film and best director of this year's Golden Horse Awards belong to "The Story of Xiao Bi", the best actor is Sun Yue in "The Wrong Car", and the best actress is Lu Xiaofen in "The Day of Watching the Sea".

As a result, Lin Qingfang tragically had no gains, coupled with the fact that there were many people who were popular, and all kinds of gossip came to her face, she couldn't stand it anymore and quickly hid in the United States.

"So you want to win the award and be recognized?" Tang Huan quipped: "Or, I'll give you another idea?"

Lin Qingbian glanced at Tang Huan angrily, "Look at your shapeless appearance, it must be a bad idea." ”

"Of course not. Tang Huan leaned over and whispered: "I think, maybe you need to understand life, which may bring a breakthrough and leap in acting skills." ”

Lin Qingfang's eyes lit up when he heard it, "How do you understand life?"

"For example, make a villain and experience what it's like to be a mother. Tang Huan replied solemnly.

"And it wasn't a bad idea. Lin Qingbian blushed and waved his hand. (To be continued.) )
