This trip to Asia, although the itinerary was a little protracted, Tang Huan stook a lot of land, recruited talents, gained a lot, and also sought sexual happiness for himself by the way, which can be described as worthwhile.

As soon as Tang Huan entered his office and sat down, Simone and Chambers followed him to report on the company's recent situation.

Generally speaking, the company's internal morale is stable, the work progress of each project team is very good, and the external competition with competitors in various product lines is fighting-for-tat, and the hegemony of application software on the two major platforms of Apple and CP/M has become obvious because of this chaotic war.

Chambers laughed and told an anecdote that Rubinstein actually went to Apple to talk to Jobs about cooperation, only to get a "shit" reply, this guy was a thief, and went to Macura again, and in the end it was fruitless.

Tang Huan sneered, "My position on Apple's board of directors is beyond the imagination of these clowns. ”

"It's becoming clear that Apple is the brightest hardware vendor, we're the largest independent software vendor, and CGrid and WordEasy have been the best-selling software in computer magazines for months." Chambers counted them with his fingers.

This is just a temporary appearance, it is okay to use it verbally to build momentum, but in the heart there is absolutely no pride and complacency. I'll assume that you'll get the idea. Tang Huan poured a basin of cold water on Chambers head-on.

"If HP and IBM launch their own branded PCs next year or the year after, customers will naturally believe in the strength of their brands and adopt their computers, while our software products will take time to adapt to changes in the underlying hardware architecture, which will undoubtedly create an opportunity for the market to reshuffle, and if you don't do it well, it means life and death."

Chambers immediately became serious, glanced at the banner on the wall, "Zheru is only 18 months away from bankruptcy," and said, "When I go back, I'll have to ring the alarm bell for the marketing and service staff." ”

I have to say that subordinates like Simeone and Chambers, who are both capable and compatible with Tang Huan, are too worry-free for him.

"If you have free time, go to Apple more often, first, to understand their project progress, and second, to pay attention to their gains and losses in the process of preparing for listing, so that we can learn from them." Before Simone and Chambers said goodbye and left, Tang Huan specially advised.

……

As soon as Tang Huan finished reading the two documents, Fan Ning, the butler of the female ship king, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Tang, I followed your tips and operated silver futures, and the income is not bad, this is my report, please take a look." Fanning seemed more respectful than before.

Tang Huan waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down, while he took the document and read it.

Fan Ning, who was assigned to the futures market, had a very serious work attitude, and there was no trace of perfunctory documents in the documents, Tang Huan nodded secretly.

It's a pity that I don't have that much spare money at the moment, otherwise I can make diversified investments.

"Mr. Tang, my master thinks my current investment work is quite interesting, so he allocated another three million dollars to participate together, can you continue to give me some advice." Fanning asked wistfully.

Tang Huan finished reading the report before replying, "Your ship king family has a lot of spare money, so continue to invest in silver, remember to withdraw before the end of the year." ”

Fanning nodded, "So are there any other investment projects besides silver?" ”

Tang Huan glanced at Fanning strangely, "Don't you watch the news, Iran in the Middle East has been so turbulent this year, I believe that there will be greater changes soon, and the price of crude oil will definitely be affected and soar, since you have spare money, then invest." ”

"That's all?" Fanning asked rhetorically, slightly disappointed.

"I can only analyze this information, be content, it's good to make money." Tang Huan nodded solemnly, then waved his hand, signaling that the other party could leave.

He was just a little jealous of the so-called Onassis curse, so he sent the housekeeper of the female ship king farther away, but he didn't expect the other party to work seriously, Tang Huan shook his head helplessly.

……

As soon as Fanning was dismissed, a call came from the front desk to say that a man who called himself Sheldon Adelson wanted to meet him about the COMDEX exhibition.

"Please ask him to come up." Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and ordered, it just so happens that he also has some ideas about the exhibition, so let's talk to the future Jinsha gambling king.

Sheldon Adelson was born in Boston in 1933 to a Jewish family.

At the age of 12, Adelson borrowed $200 from his uncle, rented two stalls, and started his business selling newspapers on the street.

At the age of 30, Adelson moved to New York to work in the media advertising business.

In 1979, Adelson found that investment magazines could make money by holding exhibitions, so he founded a computer supplier exhibition in Las Vegas, known as COMDEX, through a computer magazine he invested in.

In his previous life, when Adelson accumulated wealth at its peak, he was second only to Gates and Warren Buffett, in third place.

However, this person has not yet developed, he is just an ordinary shrewd businessman, and in the face of the imposing big boss Tang Huan, he has to consciously lower his posture.

According to the original historical trajectory, with the vigorous development of the computer industry in the 80s, coupled with Adelson's invitation to celebrities such as Gates and Steve Jobs to give speeches, and stirred up the atmosphere of the exhibition, COMDEX soon became the world's largest computer exhibition.

After the success of COMDEX, Adelson turned his money-making brain to the hotel and the Bo-Cai industry that provided the exhibitors with accommodation.

In 1989, Adelson bought the old Sands Hotel & Casino for $128 million and built the Sands Exhibition Centre. It was the first exhibition center in the United States to be invested and owned by an individual, and in this way, Adelson stepped into the game industry, which he was not familiar with.

In 1991, Adelson began the idea of replicating the water capital of Venice, Italy, into the desert of Nevada, USA.

To this end, he spared no expense in bringing in architectural historians and painters to design the hotel. The hotel has a 4-kilometre indoor canal and the famous Canal Square on the banks of the river.

In 1995, Adelson sold his COMDEX exhibition company to Masayoshi Son, the president of Japan's soft bank, for $860 million for the Venetian Resort's investment plan, and then took out a loan and invested $1.5 billion to blow up the original Sands Hotel & Casino and rebuild it.

From these sources, Tang Huan immediately deduced that Adelson was an adventurous businessman.

It's easy to deal with such a person, paint a clear picture of the glittering prospects, and as long as he approves of it, he will automatically rush forward.

As Chambers previously analyzed, Zheru is now the largest independent supplier of personal computer software, and Adelson is more serious, so it is natural for him to pay a visit in person.

Historically, the first edition of COMDEX had a modest performance, attracting only 4,000 visitors, which can also be analyzed from Adelson's introduction to the preparation of the exhibition.

Tang Huan is naturally not satisfied, and he plans to take advantage of this exhibition to release new products and expand the influence of products.

Seeing Tang Huan frowning, Adelson cautiously asked, "Could it be that Mr. Tang has other opinions?" ”

"According to your planning plan, it is estimated that the effect of this exhibition will be very average." Tang Huan said bluntly.

Adelson smiled awkwardly, "After all, it's the first one, and it will definitely get better in the future." ”

Tang Huan shook his head, "Don't make excuses, just like the first impression between people, the reputation of the first exhibition is not good, and more resources will have to be spent to redeem it in the future." The gains outweigh the losses, so why not go all out to run the first session. On the other hand, if you are determined to make this session a success, I am willing to hand over the ten years of exhibition fees to you in one lump sum. ”

Adelson's eyes flickered, "It seems that Mr. Tang has a better suggestion for COMDEX?" ”

Tang Huan stood up and paced two steps, "I think, first of all, you should not limit the audience of the exhibition to the professional field, you can treat it as an entertainment event and let the public participate. Secondly, manufacturers can be encouraged to release new technologies and products at the exhibition to improve the style of COMDEX. Finally, diversify your promotional tactics, such as inviting industry celebrities to give speeches, and inviting bands and models to perform to cheer up, in short, to build momentum in line with the goal of the world's largest computer show. ”

Adelson's eyes lit up, "Mr. Tang was able to think of so many ideas, but he is really a genius, I immediately went back to adjust the plan." If Mr. Tang is free, he might as well be a consultant for the exhibition. ”

"Yes." Tang Huan nodded happily, filled out a check and handed it over, "This is half of my advance payment, I hope COMDEX will enter the state as soon as possible, and my new product is still counting on a stunning debut." ”

Adelson accepted the check with a smile, "To show my gratitude to Mr. Tang, I will leave the best booth for Zheru." ”

Seeing Adelson leave happily, Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly came to his senses, I am calling the future "Jinsha Gambling King" as a little brother.
