"Oh no, VisiOn has suddenly become a sandwich cookie, and IBM-PC has no way to take advantage of the momentum of the graphical user interface. Charles Simeone said admiringly.

"Bringing VisiCorp down is essentially helping Lotus clear the way and continue to grow. Unlike its peers who have a history of developing software for multiple hardware platforms, this up-and-coming company is focused on the IBM-PC platform, at least for now. ”

Louis Gerstner shook his head calmly, "In the camp of IBM-PC software vendors, it is more beneficial for us to compete for supremacy than for one company. Therefore, the side effects of this operation are not easy to assess. ”

"That said, we would like to bless VisiCorp not to let it down. Charles Simone laughed.

In order to expand the router business, Shi Chongtang, who had just visited the four major nodes of ARPAnet, sat very low-key on the side, laughing with the two.

Although Shi Chongtang has not been transferred to the US headquarters from the Asia-Pacific region for a long time, and his qualifications are still young, no one dares to underestimate him.

In order to adapt to the background of the Cold War and survive in an international environment full of political, economic, and technological barriers, Tang Huan set up many companies accordingly.

This mechanism can indeed achieve flexible operation, but how each company coordinates to play the role of one plus one is greater than the sum of its parts.

In addition to the relationship between the company, the various departments within the company are not without contradictions, just like in Fangyuan Computer Company. A personal computer with ever-increasing capabilities. It is a personal workstation that pays more attention to system stability and solves actual business needs. There is friction from time to time.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, Tang Huan didn't expect these subordinates to go against the objective way of the workplace and completely selflessly fulfill each other. What's more, if everyone becomes a monolith, how can he, the boss, be able to control it?

But there is one thing, although Tang Huan doesn't mind the competition between his subordinates, if it affects the work efficiency, then he can't tolerate it.

corresponds to the team of assistants that Tang Huan takes with him wherever he goes. San Francisco has a permanent secretariat, and one of its main functions is to assess which subsidiaries are failing to pass the buck and cooperate when it comes to accomplishing an overall goal.

Shi Chongtang is now holding a sword of Shang Fang, that is, inspecting the support of Zheru software, Fangyuan computer, and EA games for network functions.

There is no doubt that this power control mechanism, which is dormant most of the time, once it is operational, strongly reflects Tang Huan's personal will, and no matter who is appointed, he will not hesitate to become a minister who can transcend the normal process of the group.

Therefore, when Zhuang Menghua and Cai Meier are the two little girls. With the mission of winning the Guinness World Records operation authorization, when I visited the headquarters in Cupertino. Louis Gerstner did not dare to slack off.

"Is the Guinness Book of World Records the most lost book in the library?" Louis Gerstner asked casually as he opened the file.

"That's it. Zhuang Menghua nodded, "At present, the Guinness Book of World Records belongs to Guinness Superlatives Limited, and the next level is Guinness, a leading British wine company, Guinness, but its operation in the United States is licensed to sterlingpublishing. I'm going to take this publishing house first to increase my bargaining weight. ”

Louis Gerstner bowed slightly, carefully looked at the contents of the document, and quickly cleared up Zhuang Menghua's thoughts.

It turned out that Stirling, which didn't mind being targeted by big moneyers, had a large part of its books as technical reference books, so it took a fancy to ZeronePress, which had the potential to become an authority in the field of IT book publishing.

Zheru Publishing House is part of ZeroneEducationandCertified, a part of the ZeroneEducation and Certified, and its position in the whole group is insignificant.

However, with the rise of the personal computer industry, the technical and applied books of Zheru Publishing House quickly became bestsellers, especially the articles written by well-known technology masters such as Tang Huan, which were almost regarded as holy texts, which attracted the coveted of Stirling Press.

However, even if you look at it again, Stirling Press can only wait and see.

Guy has no profit pressure at all, Zheru Publishing House, has no desire to be rigid, and has little interest in any foreign cooperation, as long as it serves the Zheru training and certification institutions well.

When Zhuang Menghua expressed his intention to acquire Stirling Press, the company agreed very happily, but also put forward two conditions, one is to maintain independent operation, and the other is to merge the business of Zheru Press.

After some investigation, Zhuang Menghua felt that it would be a good thing to make Zheru Publishing House more professional, so he came to Louis Gerstner to discuss.

"I have no opinion. Louis Gerstner signed his name casually, and the capital operation of this scale did not see him at all, and wanted to acquire a well-known audit company for the upcoming PeopleSoft.

Even Louis Gerstner secretly speculated that the big boss Tang Huan was letting this little sister practice and accumulate experience.

After sending off the energetic Zhuang Menghua and Cai Meier, Louis Gerstner picked up the Seeq investigation report and frowned again.

After a moment of thought, Louis Gerstner finally decided to report the matter to Tang Huan, because he couldn't see the possible impact of the treatment.

……

In a chain store in Wellcome, Xiangjiang, Tang Huan is inspecting the implementation of information systems, especially the application of ElectronicDataInterchange, or EDI.

Founded in 1945, Wellcome is the oldest and largest supermarket chain in Hong Kong, with hundreds of stores in Hong Kong. From 1964 onwards, it was wholly owned by Dairy Farm International, which was acquired by Hongkong Land in the 1970s and became part of Jardine Matheson, which eventually became a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson.

"That's the benefit of data transfer services. After all, the installed capacity of Xiangjiang is limited, and the telephone line only transmits sound, and the income is limited. Tang Huan casually said to Ma Shimin beside him that the other party had been transferred to the senior class of Xiangjiang Phone. (To be continued......)
