"Vladimir urged me to go back again. The sonorous voice of Anatolian Alexandrovich Sobchak was full of the pride of being looked at and the joy of seeing the light of day.

In fact, when Pu Jing learned last year that he was going to be nominated by Russian President Arychin as Prime Minister of Russia, he wanted to ask his political ~ political mentor to go back to help, and Sobchak was also eager to try.

However, Tang Huan believed that the situation in Russia was still unclear and not necessarily safe at that time, so he suggested that he observe it again, and the result was that when Pu Jing reached the top, it was enough to completely ensure that no force could liquidate the drafter of the "Constitution of the Russian Federation" in the open.

At this time, of course, there is no need for the richest man to block Sobchak's return to Russia.

He held the other party's hand and laughed loudly: "Congratulations, old friend, I can finally keep the clouds open and see the bright moon, and I can make great achievements again." ”

Sobchak said with infinite gratitude: "Don, thank you for taking the trouble to provide me with a shelter that is sufficient to ensure the safety of my family in the past few years. ”

The richest man waved his hand heroically, "I'm the one who cares most about like-minded friends." If you're in trouble, it's my duty to help. ”

Sobchak tentatively said: "Tang has formed a deep friendship with Russia since the launch of the world-famous puzzle game Tetris, and has also actively participated in Russia's economic construction over the years. ”

After taking a leisurely sip of red wine, the richest man said slowly: "I am a businessman, and I like to see more consumers, including the Russian market, using my high-tech products with a sense of accomplishment; Of course, there are also nasty things, such as others bullying me; As for how Russia will develop in the future, I can't compare with those oligarchs who come and go in the Kremlin all day long, and they have super political ~ political thinking ability. ”

Sobchak, whose originally tense waist collapsed unconsciously, couldn't help but smile: "Tang is sometimes incredibly simple. ”

"For friends, it's better to keep it simple. What do you think? The richest man asked calmly.

Sobchak nodded repeatedly, "Of course!" ”

The richest man gently put down the crystal cup, and said with a straight face: "Old friend, before you go back to Russia, I want to give you a few words of advice." ”

Sobchak's face also became serious, "Please speak." ”

"That's your personal safety." The richest man looked into the other party's eyes and said in a deep voice: "The contradictions and conflicts within Russia at this stage are not an exaggeration to describe them as bloody; Localities, in particular, are even more brazen in putting their opponents to death. ”

Sobchak muttered, "Vladimir will arrange the most elite bodyguards for me. ”

"It's not a guarantee of foolproofness." Mr. The richest man reminded earnestly: "After you return to Russia, you will definitely help Vladimir to go to the local propaganda and get in touch with all kinds of people, etc., and the dedication of the bodyguards cannot make up for the carelessness of the protected person." ”

Sobchak nodded, "I see what you mean, I'll always be on my toes." ”

The richest man shook his head slightly, hoping that Sobchak would really listen. You know, I have invested a lot of money in the other party, and I am still waiting to earn it back.

Sobchak laughed, and then invited: "Don, why don't you go to Russia with you." I think that Vladimir should have a lot of questions and would like to communicate with you. ”

"It's cold in Moscow right now, I have to think about it." The richest man, who made a joke, looked at the schedule on the PDA and wondered whether to accept the proposal.

In the 1990s, when Russia implemented "shock therapy" economically, it had very close relations with the West; At present, although everyone is very unhappy because of the default on sovereign debt due to the Russian financial crisis in 1998, it is still a harmonious relationship.

The main reason for this is that Russia now has no capital. NATO's eastward expansion on 12 March last year incorporated the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, three territories that were formerly under the Soviet Union's sphere of influence.

Originally, the period when Russia and the United States were fighting back and forth began with the Russia-Georgia War during the 2008 Olympic Games, which showed that Russia's national strength had greatly increased, which made the United States vigilant; intensified in the Crimean crisis in 2014.

What's more, now that the international oil price has risen, Russia has also begun to have money. And this attraction far outweighs concerns such as "Russiagate".

After thinking about the stakes, the richest man plugged in the stylus on the PDA and said with a smile: "Then I'll go and enjoy the harsh winter in Moscow again." ”

……

Sobchak's family moved back to Russia, and his daughter, Ksenia Sobchak, who had adapted to life in Paris, was very reluctant.

When Ksenia boarded Silicon Valley No. 1, she reluctantly invited Athena to go to Russia with her father Tang Huan.

The eccentric Athena, pointing to the significantly increased number of security assistants on the plane, chuckled: "I heard that Moscow is now the most unsafe metropolis in the world. Seeing that there was none, DAD brought an extra group of people, and I didn't want to join in the fun. ”

Ksenia said helplessly, "Okay, if you can really participate in this year's Olympics, I will definitely come to the scene to cheer you on." ”

I accidentally saw Ksenia, who was called "Russia's Paris Hilton" in the original time and space, and it was so difficult to let go of his girl, Mr. The richest man couldn't help but laugh secretly.

The following is the anti-D part, which will be updated tomorrow and simply ignore it.

……

……

In fact, Louis Pratt, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, is not even sixty years old and can serve for a few more years.

However, in the case of HP founder William Wheatlett is old and frail, and David Puched has passed away, some of HP's insistences can no longer withstand the pressure from the outside world.

Louis Pratt, for example, is very unpopular with investors. Gain, the HP he leads, has performed too steadily and made lackluster profits in the past few years since it entered the Internet wave.

In the past, HP could explain that low-key is its own style; But now Wall Street is not agreeing.

Other houses are in turmoil, how can you take a leisurely stroll!

In this case, Louis Pratt offered to resign this year and abdicate to make way for Xian.

It stands to reason that HP, which is a veteran witness to Silicon Valley, must be full of talent, and it is not a problem to choose a successor from within.

Indeed, a popular candidate has emerged from within HP, with Enlivermore, who has been with HP since 1982 and promoted to vice president in 1995.

To some extent, Enlivermore's entry into the list of CEO candidates is a rebuttal to HP's criticism of the outside world's doubts about its rigid and aging system and its disconnection with the times.

In Silicon Valley, and indeed in the United States as a whole, there are very few female executives.

And Louis Pratt has made a lot of improvements in this regard. Widowed in 1981 and raising two young daughters on his own, he empathized with many popular initiatives to humanize employees, which is also in line with HP's long-standing corporate culture.

It was in this context that Ellivermore worked her way up from a marketing position to a vice president and became a role model for women in the workplace.

If Alivermore does take over HP, it will undoubtedly send a message to the outside world: HP is not holding on to its shortcomings, but has always kept pace with the times.

I have to say that Louis Pratt's abdication to make way for Xian laid out quite painstakingly.

But Wall Street isn't buying it.

Enrichmore has been with HP for almost 20 years, and is naturally deeply influenced by the corporate culture of HP.

What's more, HP's management is still overwhelmed, and Wall Street is unable to exert its most effective influence directly.

Because of this fundamental contradiction of interests. HP didn't do anything else this year, and was busy with the political ~ political struggle within the company.

In the end, Wall Street made a big move.

Didn't HP play the card of Alivermore, a female business executive, then, as you wish, find someone from the outside and parachute a female business executive with a brighter star halo.

As a result, Carifio, who successfully completed the spin-off of Lucent from AT&T, was selected and sent to Silicon Valley.

Just like Carife Oreina, who is a star in the entertainment industry and is favored by Wall Street, she suddenly sat on the altar and became the first female CEO of a company in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which was interpreted by the media as a sign that women broke through the ceiling of the workplace.

It's just that this kind of star-making movement triggered by the company's political ~ political struggle is very expensive.

Carifey Orina used to stay at Lucent very well, but now she has moved to HP, and she must have a compensation. As a result, she was given 65 million restricted HP shares.

In addition, there are 3 million signing bonuses, 1 million annual salaries and annual bonuses of 1.25 to 3.75 times, as well as 36,000 loan assistance, moving allowances, etc., and even personal affairs can be handled with company aircraft.

In short, HP paid a fortune for a big star who was paid more than any previous CEO, including two founders, William Wilytt and David Puckert; If you promote Enlivermore as CEO internally, you will definitely save a lot of money.

Carifey Oreina, who can be described as both fame and fortune, is naturally loyal to the Wall Street benefactor who promoted her, rather than the few remaining agents of the Whalett family's influence in HP.

Mr. The richest man hopes in his heart that HP can resist the harvest of Wall Street's "pig raising and killing pigs"; Even, he quietly supported behind his back.

But helplessly, Louis Pratt did not have the posture of a hero, and after a few rounds of fighting, he was discouraged and lazy and had the idea of retreating; Hewlett-Packard's founding family was a dou who couldn't support him, and in the end, it was Wall Street that seized control of HP.

As John Chambers reminded, after the fall of HP, the Tang IT Kingdom's Fang Yuan and Zheru software will definitely become the next coveted target.

This is also a big reason why, even though the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software has been suspended again, Tang Huan can take advantage of this gap to go to China on the other side of the Pacific Ocean to enjoy the heroic performance of the 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but one of the major reasons why he stayed in San Francisco.

Needless to say, Mr. the richest man is also afraid that at this delicate time, there will be a moth in the middle of the day.

Seeing that Tang Huan immediately understood the meaning of his words, John Chambers asked tentatively: "The anti-monopoly lawsuit of Zheru Software Company has been delayed until the end of the year; But next year is still coming, what will happen then? ”

Although John Chambers is an absolute hardcore confidant, the richest man still has to keep his true intentions against him.

Not for anything else, it's the art of leadership.

What's more, forcing his subordinates to accompany him to "bungee jumping" in the magnificent era is also a bit difficult for strongmen.

Tang Huan replied slowly: "Today, Fangyuan's computer standards have been firmly established, even without the cooperation of Zheru Software Company, it can lead the industry to develop together. ”

"Moreover, the change in name from 'Fangyuan Computer' to 'Fangyuan' is also a reminder to you that the company's business scope should not be limited to the computer field."

"As for Zheru Software, even if the worst outcome comes, it's not a big deal. After all, kingship does not last forever, and we can at least get out of it with our whole body. ”

Savoring the words of the richest man, John Chambers had a complicated look on his face, both the relief of not having to accompany the madman to the cliff, and the possibility of giving up the ambition of hegemony.

Tang Huan, who had all this in his eyes, finally smiled loudly, "No matter what, I won't let my momentary thoughts put my followers in danger." ”

……

Among the many backquarters of the richest man, there is definitely a different form of "eggs are not put in one basket".

Apple Computer, for example, is taking over a series of resources poured into Zheru.

After the iPod was officially launched in October last year, sales exceeded 200,000 units in that Christmas quarter. In the first quarter of this year, sales reached 120,000 units; Sales remained at about the same level for the next two quarters.

There is no doubt that just like the dawn of personal computers more than ten years ago, Apple's Apple-II shined, and in the current digital music market that has been reborn in some chaos, Apple's iPod has achieved a leading role ~ Sau, and it definitely deserves to be a big success. 2k reading web
