"If you love him, send him to Las Vegas because it's heaven, and if you hate him, send him to Las Vegas because it's hell. ”

It's fitting to describe Las Vegas in clichéd sentences, a city where gambling and fortune come and go all the time.

The first edition of COMDEX was held in this wonderful city, and the exhibition venue was the MGM Grand Hotel.

Of course, the current building is not the MGM Grand that opened in the early 90s, and it will later be known as Bally's LasVegas, or Bally's House Las Vegas.

The MGM Grand Hotel was built in 1973 by Kirk Cockline, the American aviation giant, the American gambling billionaire and the largest shareholder of the MGM Group, at a cost of more than $100 million.

At the time of its opening, MGM Grand was the largest hotel in the world at the time, named after MGM's 1932 film "Grand Hotel".

This luxurious entertainment hotel, with 26 floors, 2,084 rooms, a 1,200-seat screening hall and shopping promenade, has attracted the world's attention with its absolute luxury.

However, in the original time and space, a fire in November 1980 hit the MGM Grand Hotel hard.

In order to participate in this COMDEX, Zheru Company booked a number of rooms in this three-star hotel. This is what motivates Las Vegas to actively attract exhibits, as such events can significantly boost the local economy.

……

Lin Fengjiao, who lived with Hu Yinmeng, was being urged by the other party to rub his shoulders, "Your man is a black-hearted boss who treats me as three employees." ”

"If you can't stand it, quit, a talented woman like you still uses other people's eyes to beg for a living. Lin Fengjiao pursed her lips and smiled.

"I was sold by a greedy mother, I regret it. ”

Hu Yinmeng commanded Lin Fengjiao to pinch the shoulder on the other side, and continued: "Besides, if I resign like this, it seems that I am really a vase of gold and jade, and I am incompetent to work as a deserter, for the sake of Miss Ben's reputation, I also have to grit my teeth and survive." ”

"You're really a contradiction. After Lin Fengjiao teased, she yawned cutely.

Hu Yinmeng glanced at Lin Fengjiao, who had a delicate look, "It's been a few days since you came to the United States, and you haven't had a jet lag?"

"Who's to say it's not, it's weird. Lin Fengjiao nodded thoughtfully.

"It's a. Hu Yinmeng couldn't help but burst into a foul language, "Sing every night, and fight every day." The waiter helped up the delicate and weak, and it was the time of the new inheritance. You really can't see it, give you a bamboo pole and climb up. Look at you are moisturized so that you are more delicate than flowers, and your pink and tender face can come out of the water with a pinch. ”

Lin Fengjiao blushed and slapped Hu Yinmeng, "I have a low culture, so I can't understand what you say." ”

Hu Yinmeng turned around, unexpectedly stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Fengjiao's chest twice, and said with a smile, "Now I understand." ”

"Female ruffian. Lin Fengjiao smiled and scolded Hu Yinmeng's hand, got up and sat aside.

"Honestly, if you can be tired like this, you have to toss a few times at night. Hu Yinmeng asked with gossip on his face.

"Why are you so curious?" Lin Fengjiao gave the other party a roll of the eyes angrily.

"Yes, I guessed from your look that you are a little unsatisfactory in meeting Tang Huan's needs. Hu Yinmeng pointed at Lin Fengjiao and laughed.

"It's no wonder, look at how many elites are now serving him next to Tang Huan, man, with the expansion of power, the demand for that aspect will increase accordingly. Now you have to grit your teeth, survive this period of Tang Huan's career leap, he will get used to it, not so high-spirited, you can relax. ”

Lin Fengjiao glanced at Hu Yinmeng, "Hearing you say this, it's quite a good thing." ”

"Of course. Hu Yinmeng patted his chest heroically, "Sister is an expert in psychology." ”

Snorting noncommittally, Lin Fengjiao lay down heavily, looking at the ceiling in a daze.

The scenes since she met Tang Huan flashed in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Lin Fengjiao never denied that she was fascinated by Tang Huan, coupled with the endorsement of the political and business celebrities on the treasure island for this man's pursuit attitude, as well as the reference of Deng Lijun's rumored boyfriend, she completely became a prisoner of the other party without any worries.

Originally, Lin Fengjiao only thought that she had found a wishful husband, but this time when she went to the United States, she found that Tang Huan's power was far beyond her expectations, and such an excellent man suddenly gave her a sense of crisis.

After seeing the few white girls who came to help Zheru Company carry out on-site publicity, Lin Fengjiao's feeling became stronger and stronger.

Especially the vixen named Madonna, who simply wrote the intention of seducing Tang Huan clearly on his face, although he couldn't understand the English spoken by the other party, but the teasing meaning in it could be recognized without any obstacles.

Lin Fengjiao was thinking about her thoughts, and Hu Yinmeng, who habitually walked barefoot on the floor a few laps, pulled her, "Let's go out for a walk again, the architecture here is too imaginative and fun." ”

"Okay. Lin Fengjiao, who was in a mess in her head, also planned to change her mood, and happily agreed.

……

At this time, Tang Huan was accompanied by Sheldon Adelson and watched Zheru's booth at the exhibition site that was about to usher in COMDEX.

In the original time and space, the first edition of COMDEX only attracted 167 exhibitors and 3,904 attendees, but now with Tang Huan's advice, the face has changed dramatically.

Adelson, who will become the future gambling king of the Sands, has a sense of adventure hidden in his bones, and when he re-evaluated the prospects of the project, he was very bold to increase his investment.

According to Tang Huan's instructions, Adelson sowed discord and fanned the flames between several contradictory IT manufacturers, and the result was miraculous, IBM, HP, DEC, etc. were all tricked, and even General Electric and Motorola were fooled.

With several industry predators taking the lead, coupled with Adelson's timely reduction of fees, small and medium-sized manufacturers, especially those from Japan, immediately started a new round of registration, and large companies such as Philips and Siemens in Europe also increased their participation accordingly.

At present, the number of exhibitors has exceeded 1,000, and the number of attendees is expected to exceed 10,000.

In the process, Adelson was caught using all sorts of tricks to the point of shattering the discipline, but he didn't care.

In order to further increase his popularity, Adelson even put an advertisement in the newspaper that if you bring the newspaper to COMDEX, you can get a discount on hotel accommodation, and its gambling nature can be described as unobstructed.

"Don, I've left you with the best booth spot, be satisfied. Adelson raised an eyebrow triumphantly, "COMDEX's influence is sure to make your company famous." ”

Tang Huan, who looked at the employees arranging the booth with a smile, nodded again and again, "I appreciate it, if there is anything I need to support in the future, just say." ”

"Then I'll take this promise to heart. Adelson laughed contentedly, "You can go around by yourself, I still have something to do, and I can't accompany you." ”

……

Tang Huan left his booth and wandered towards other areas. These days are complicated, and he just takes advantage of this leisure time to relax his brain.

However, when he saw the company name and logo in front of each booth, Tang Huan subconsciously started various calculations.

In the next few years, who among them will be the contenders and who will be able to pull in the partners.

Intel, for example, will be a significant hardware supplier, while IBM will be its biggest competitor.

When passing by Hewlett-Packard's booth, Tang Huan paused slightly.

For Silicon Valley, HP has a special significance. It was co-founded in 1939 by William Hewlett and David Packard, two graduates of Stanford University, and the company name HP is derived from the surnames of the two founders, and the order is determined by the flip of a coin.

HP started out in a garage and built its first building three years later.

In 1961, Hewlett-Packard shares were officially listed for trading.

In 1962, Hewlett-Packard entered the Forbes 500 list of large companies in the United States for the first time, ranking 460th. Since then, the rankings have risen year by year.

In this way, with the snowballing growth, HP successfully became the representative of the entrepreneurial myth.

And Apple, which has a similar entrepreneurial experience to HP, will also be worshiped by everyone for the same reason and become an idol of the times.

HP's first product was an electronic instrument used to test audio equipment, the resistive capacitance acoustic oscillator.

Since then, the company has expanded its business into test and measurement products as well as electronic medical and analytical instruments.

For example, in 1943, Hewlett-Packard entered the field of microwave technology by developing signal generators and radar jammers for the Naval Research Laboratory.

During World War II, HP was recognized as a leader in the signal generator industry for its complete line of microwave test products.

HP's business in the computer field began with the development of calculators.

In 1966, HP designed the first computer product, HP2116A.

In 1968, the world's first desktop scientific calculator HP9100A introduced.

In 1972, HP introduced the HP-35 handheld scientific calculator, the first epoch-making personal computing tool, and eliminated the engineering slide rule, while entering the computer field with the HP3000 computer.

In 1979, that is, this year, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recommended Hewlett-Packard in a meeting with Chief Deng.

According to the original historical trajectory, in 1985, HP became the first joint venture high-tech enterprise directly introduced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In 1980, HP would launch the HP-85 for the first time in the personal computer.

By the mid-80s, Hewlett-Packard had successfully developed inkjet printers, and Epson had fallen behind because he had been holding on to the dot matrix printer business.

It is no exaggeration to say that HP, like IBM, is a frowning opponent, although it is not as alone as the blue giant, but its net operating income will climb to 3 billion next year, and the number of employees will reach 57,000.

In 1980, what kind of height Zheru would develop, Tang Huan was really not sure.

Moreover, to a certain extent, being specially recommended by Kissinger is enough to show that HP's various things are not simple.

For example, one of the two founders of Hewlett-Packard, David Packard, served as Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States in 1969 from 1969 to 1971.

And the other founder, William Hewlett, is also interesting.

When Steve Jobs was in the ninth grade, he called Hewlett directly to ask for a part in order to make an frequency counter.

It is said that Hewlett was moved by Jobs' aggressiveness and offered him a summer job.

Since then, Jobs has always admired Hewlett-Packard, believing that it and Disney and Intel are "heirloom companies, not just to make money".

This evaluation is very intriguing, Tang Huan thought of this, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

By this time, he had already turned back to his company's booth, just in time to see several artists who had been invited to help with the promotion were rehearsing.

And Madonna, one of them, secretly threw a wink at him from time to time after seeing Tang Huan.
