Chapter 0174: The Prototype of E-Commerce
Sure enough, Tang Huan's answer immediately made Ivanov very impressed.
The Moscow Olympics cost a total of $9 billion, and such a grand event must not let the Americans mess with it, and the ice must be broken at all levels.
And the Chinese entrepreneur in front of him seems to be a good target.
In addition, this person was born in the Dragon Kingdom, and he was able to break the deadlock brought about by the West while taking into account the easing of the situation in the East.
I just don't know what the other party wants, so it must be nothing more than commercial interests.
Sure enough, Ivanov found out in the following conversation that Tang Huan always inquired about the Soviet Union's needs for personal computers.
Ivanov had a relaxed smile on his face, "We have a planned economy there, and as long as your products are good enough, you can win large purchase orders." ”
"Of course I'm confident in my product, and it's based in Southeast Asia, so there will be a lot less restrictions on trade." The corners of Tang Huan's mouth curled, and he said meaningfully.
A shrewd businessman, Ivanov was commenting in his heart, but he was also assuring Tang Huan that he would provide him with the convenience of business investigations
When Tang Huan said goodbye, he got a quite satisfactory result, but Christina was a little unhappy about this, she was deceived into marriage by the Soviet Union, and she was naturally disgusted that her current man had anything to do with the Soviet Union.
Tang Huan smiled, "These bosses are arguing for fame, and we little fish just take this opportunity to do some small business, you won't have to get along with money, otherwise you can think about it from a different angle." We make Soviet money. If you don't earn it, you don't earn it for nothing. ”
"That's just as well." Christina was coaxed to be happy. And Tang Huan's next ploughing of Nanyang was also much smoother, and the female ship king's throat was almost hoarse.
Tang Huan, who had sorted out all aspects of the work, boarded his private jet the next day and prepared to start his trip to Europe.
However, he received a very unexpected news and had to stop in Florida to see his salvage fleet.
Following Tang Huan's instructions, Fisher led a new team to continue salvaging in the sea where the wreck of the Lady Atoka was found, not for the scattered treasures that had already outweighed the losses. Rather, it was to familiarize themselves with the new equipment and adapt the new Chinese crew members such as the one found by Tang Huan to the working environment.
Then, Tang Huan would give the location of a colonial-era Spanish warship sunk in the sea area and begin the actual salvage.
But sometimes God makes some surprising jokes, and this team of newcomers and veterans unexpectedly discovers another wreck of the Lady Atoka, and finds a large number of gems measured in kilograms.
After Tang Huan saw these salvaged items, he couldn't help but say with emotion, "We don't produce gemstones. We are just porters of nature. ”
Christina's obsession with gemstones returned, and she grabbed handfuls after handful. Attentively appreciating.
"It seems that we have mainly used these treasures that were barbarized in the colonial era for public welfare, and have been appreciated by the heavens, otherwise how can we explain that luck has befallen us again so quickly."
Tang Huan gave a speech with great righteousness and awe, making these subordinates feel that they were not just employed by the boss, but engaged in a great and sacred work.
In order to deal with these gems, Tang Huan delayed his trip for a few days, and the proceeds naturally went back to the Shennong Fund, after all, the cost of a project like HIV research can be described as a waste of money.
Moreover, he didn't have much greed in the first place, and even if he did, he was dispelled by the awe of this kind of luck that came again, this matter was too evil, and my brother still spent the money he earned seriously.
Tang Huan told Christina what he was thinking, and the female boat king was not so fascinated.
Next, the schedule of the European trip returned to normal, and Tang Huan's first stop was the United Kingdom.
Tang Huan played with Christina for two days, and then sent the other party to watch a professional women's tennis match, while he got down to business and went to Leigh's voice, the parent company of Leigh's TV.
Actually, Leigh's call is just a misnomerical translation, and the original name Rediffusion is more accurate, given the mixed business of the old British company.
In the early 1920s, Leigh's voice was mainly used for radio broadcasts in remote areas of the United Kingdom where radio signals could not be received by radio stations, and later in the 1950s, it also operated television stations, television rental and sales businesses.
The business scope of the "Voice of the Beauty" cable radio station has also slowly expanded from the British mainland to overseas colonies such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Barbados, and Thailand.
Rei's TV, which transmits programs through radio waves, was founded during this period when its predecessor, Rei's Reflection, which relied on cables to transmit programs.
Now, Li's voice has long diversified its operations, such as cabin simulators, and the status of radio and television is not so important, otherwise it would not have sold Li's TV directly to an Australian consortium because of the failure of its investment in Canada.
Therefore, Rediffusion's name is more accurate, and its current CEO, Michael Aldrich, is also known as Michael? Aldrich is a celebrity.
Last year, this guy invented online shopping, the prototype of e-commerce, and also combined television, computers, and telecommunications network technology to invent Teleputer.
Naturally, under the leadership of this CEO, Rediffusion got involved in this business, and even changed the company's name to Rediffusion Computers in 1981, which makes people think that it completely changed careers to start a computer business.
For e-commerce before the advent of the Internet, Tang Huan can be said to be very curious, and even almost forgot the real purpose of this trip, that is, to take over the TV of Li, which intends to take over Xiangjiang.
Aldrich promised to consider this request of Tang Huan, who has a deep background in Silicon Valley, and then turned his interest back to the application of IT technology.
Through the conversation, Tang Huan finally confirmed that the so-called online shopping now basically refers to the B2B model, and for large manufacturing companies such as automobiles, this platform will bring great convenience to it and many suppliers.
Discussing this kind of application, which has been extremely mature in the Internet era in the previous life, Tang Huan's casual words can make Aldrich shake in his heart, and finally he has to admit with admiration that Silicon Valley is indeed the most developed IT technology.
Hearing this compliment, Tang Huan just smiled slightly, and at the same time thoughtfully, the current set of things that Aldrich is engaged in is obviously more suitable for use with ERP for enterprises.
The specific height of SAP's ERP development will not be known until the next stop goes to Germany. (To be continued......)
