Although Enron's relationship network is complicated, the Tang Clan's high-tech kingdom, which is trying to smash the last ceiling on its head, is not a good person.

After receiving Jerry Brown's distress request, Tang Huan acted quickly and began a high-profile comprehensive inspection of California high-speed rail, and officially announced that Zheru Software would subscribe to a billion-dollar short-term bond for California high-speed rail.

Isn't the Zheru Software Company, which is caught in the monopoly vortex, that it has so much cash reserves that it makes people jealous, and even attracts the voice of discussion about deliberately avoiding taxes.

That's fine. Zheru Software repatriated a billion dollars to the United States to support California high-speed rail.

It can be said that this is the first time that Tang Huan's huge industrial kingdom has openly supported the operation horizontally.

Jerry Brown, who accompanied the richest man on a tour of California's high-speed rail, immediately said: "The funds received from Zheru Software will be mainly used to improve the energy security of the entire system. ”

Many onlookers who were attracted by this movement couldn't understand the doorway in the bustle: Enron, a star company, cooperating with California high-speed rail, should be regarded as a good couple, why is it so stiff?

Observers can only give a specious explanation: after California, which was dominated by hydropower and nuclear power, opened up the energy field, local energy companies such as Pacific Watt Power were suppressed in the face of out-of-state energy companies represented by Enron, and then California high-speed rail, which signed long-term preferential service contracts with local energy companies at the beginning, felt a crisis.

On the other hand, Enron has a wide range of businesses, in addition to electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, etc., it will also penetrate into the financial field, such as in California, it has established a joint venture with the California Pension Fund called United Energy Development Investment. California High-Speed Rail was wary of Enron's ambitions to expand beyond the energy sector, and has responded lukewarmly to the partnership.

Tang Huan didn't bother to comment on this similar comment from the outside world. Now so many people are so bewildered by Enron's gorgeous appearance that it is useless to say more.

Besides, what position do you have, what reason do you have, to "free" guide others in the maze.

The tough posture of Mr. the richest man is to tell Enron: In the past, it didn't matter if you suffered a loss or took advantage of a small cooperation like BesTV, but don't stretch your hand too long! The United States of America v. Zheru Software Inc. Monopoly is just an obstacle in front of the Tang High-Tech Kingdom, and it is not a catastrophe that you can take advantage of the fire.

The world is so vast, you engage in your energy, I do my high-tech, and everyone's well water does not interfere with river water.

But Enron's perseverance, or greed, is still underestimated.

At a later meeting, Enron's chairman and chief executive officer, Kenneth Lai, became entangled with Tang Huan about the matter.

……

After the richest man finished supporting the high-speed rail in California, he had to return his energy to the current focus, the United States of America v. Zheru Software Inc. monopoly case.

To this end, Tang Huan's next trip is to inspect the investment of Zheru Software Company in various states in the United States, such as R&D centers. The implication of this is that the 20 states that followed the Justice Department in suing Zheru Software for its monopoly can only be understood and cannot be understood.

The first stop of the arrangement was Austin, Texas, known as the "Silicon Mound".

Texas did not join the plaintiffs in the United States of America v. Zheru Software Inc. monopoly case, and Tang Huan first came to Texas to increase his leverage for Xiao Bushi, who is seeking re-election as governor this year.

You know, the current IT industry jobs are extremely hot, and many young people are sharpening their heads to drill into it, and Zheru Software's emphasis on Texas means that hiring opportunities have increased.

If this purpose is a bit "virtual", then the other purpose must be "real".

The third son, Neil Bush, plans to set up an educational software company called "Burning Learning" in Austin, and is pulling in investment.

Tang Huan brought his eldest son Jin Chang with him again, anyway, he coped with his studies very easily, so it was better to have more practical experience.

As for the Jin Pavilion who is a fellow of the same mother as Jin Chang, because he is a little naughty, the richest man is too lazy to take him with him and adds to the chaos senselessly.

"That's a $2 million investment in Burning Learning and Educational Software, and you're going to hand it over to Neil Bush." Tang Huan pointed to a document on the table and instructed his eldest son.

"Understood." Jin Chang, who nodded in agreement, opened the document and glanced at it twice, and then said with a smile: "Neil Bush's consulting fee is quite high. ”

"It's all ......like this," the richest man put down his glass and said leisurely, "Saudi Arabia gave three million dollars." ”

Jin Chang's face showed a look of surprise, "In this way, the financing amount of this burning learning and education software company will not be less?" ”

"At least more than $20 million." Tang Huan bowed slightly, "This is the embodiment of the heritage of the Bushi family." ”

According to rumors, the eldest son Bu Shi Jr., the second son Jeb Bush, and the third son Neil Bush will run for governor of Texas, Florida, and Colorado respectively.

Now, he is nearly at the end of his first four-year term as governor of Texas and is seeking re-election.

In 1994, Jeb Bush also launched an attack on the governor of Florida, but the outcome was very different from the big victory of his brother Bush 10, who ran for governor of Texas in the same year, and lost by 2 percent.

This year, Jeb Bush, who has learned the hard way, started his business again and ran again.

As for Neil Bush, he was already destined to miss out on the governor of Colorado, and a scandal in Guy ended his possibility of entering politics.

During the U.S. federal savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Colorado's Sylfrado savings and loan institution was one of the unlucky ones who went bankrupt, leaving behind $1.3 billion in debt.

At the time, Neil Bush was a director of the institution, and as a result, the Federal Office of the Superintendent of Savings was found to have an interest in the bankruptcy case; In addition, Lao Bushi was still in the presidency, and it was in an uproar for a while, and it almost became synonymous with financial scandals.

What investors are collecting debts and protesters are posting caricatures that say "Neil Bush is in a prison cell...... It literally tossed Neil Bush's reputation into the streets.

Although Neil Bush was fined $50,000 and saved him from prison, he was disqualified from running for governor of Colorado.

After ruining his future in the political arena, Neil Bush concentrated on business like his fourth brother, Marvin Bush, and some of the political ~ political resources of the elder Bush were reflected in Neil Bush's extensive travel, just like the financing of the current Burning Learning and Education Software Company, which is quite sought after.

The following is the anti-D part.,Update it tomorrow.,Just ignore it.。

……

Since 1979, when everyone was still in the final stage, Gates and Tang Huan have been dealing with each other for 20 years. He has an experience, that is, as long as the other party takes the initiative to send something, it must be full of deep meaning.

After thinking about it for a while, Gates cautiously and slowly spoke: "Microsoft's current life can only be said to be passable. If you spend billions of dollars to buy Sebes, you will feel like an extra burden. ”

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and said straight to the core: "At this stage, the completeness of Microsoft's product line is second only to Zheru Software, and even stronger than IBM, only the enterprise database field cannot open the situation. ”

"At present, the pace of development of the industry is very fast, and even Oracle, which only does databases in terms of software, has added front-end rapid application development tools in addition to the simple database management system, and aims at ERP directly facing end users."

"Everyone is rapidly integrating resources in depth, and Microsoft is still unhurriedly improving its products and catching up with its peers, and I am afraid it will fall behind more and more."

"The reason why Renke is interested in Saibes is because database vendors covet the ERP industry across borders, so this time I want to ensure that the pattern of the Unix platform will not be controlled by others."

"If Microsoft acquires Saibesi, it will definitely be able to quickly make up for the shortcomings of enterprise-level databases and maintain stable cooperation with Renke by virtue of the same root of MS_SQL_Server products as Saibes. But if this opportunity is missed, what use will Microsoft's not yet powerful MS_SQL_Server be to Renke? ”

After Gates listened with an impassive expression, he glanced at Steve Ballmer, who understood the other party, and then put on his own impatience and asked bluntly: "Don, I have to admit that what you said is very reasonable. However, what reason and position do you have for Microsoft to take the lead in Renke and acquire Saibes? After all, when it comes to relationships, Nishina is your descendant! ”

"You're right, too! Yes, what reason do I have, what position? The richest man laughed, stood up, paced a few steps, and then condescendingly looked Steve Ballmer in the eye and said leisurely, "Okay, Steve, then I'll give you the answer!" ”

"In the case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software, Inc., didn't the Department of Justice think that Zheru Software was so powerful that market regulation was ineffective?"

"Well, if Microsoft acquires Sebes, does it mean that market regulation is still working, and there is still enough competition in the entire industry?"

Steve Ballmer avoided Tang Huan's sharp gaze and muttered to himself, "Isn't this called a monopoly?" ”

Gates scratched his head, tormented by how to choose.

Steve Ballmer got to the bottom of it, and the richest man told his true intentions.

But so what?

This is Tang Huan's Yang Mou on the table! Do you take it, or don't you take it?

If Microsoft timidly refuses, it will be more and more marginalized in the highly competitive enterprise database market, as the richest man just analyzed.

If Microsoft follows the path pointed out by Tang Huan, I believe it will be the right decision, but what is this about? Who is the chairman of the board of directors of Microsoft? Who's the CEO of Microsoft?

Looking at Gates with a struggling look on his face, Mr. The richest man said earnestly: "Bill, our friendship has been almost twenty years!" ”

"Think about it, as long as others don't come to harm me, when have I ever taken the initiative to do something that is not good for others?"

"In the United States of America v. Zheru Software Inc. monopoly case, Microsoft has always adhered to an objective and neutral position when testifying in court, and I am very grateful for this."

"In fact, if you think about it, you will find that Microsoft's acquisition of Sebeth is the best of all three worlds."

"First of all, Sebeth was rescued from a business crisis. Those of us who have worked hard in the IT industry for more than 20 years can be regarded as fulfilling our responsibilities to the entire industry. ”

"Then, Microsoft found the quickest and most efficient way to fill the gaps in enterprise databases."

"Finally, Microsoft's development and growth proves that the entire industry has not been overshadowed by Zheru Software and has lost its competitive vitality."

"How rare it is to make such a win-win thing for all parties! Bill, do you have a reason to say no? ”

Gates, who was stimulated by Tang Huan's "affectionate style", couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Microsoft's acquisition of Sebeth is indeed a multi-pronged victory." But the problem is that you are too domineering, and under the gentle appearance, you don't give people the possibility of refusal at all! ”

As a result, he heard the richest man say step by step: "I may be a bit domineering, but for collaborators, it has always been a win-win situation." ”

"Zheru software first, Microsoft second, this stable industry pattern, what's wrong?"

Gates, who was distracted, smiled bitterly and said, "Don, your suggestion is indeed difficult for me to refuse." It's just that Microsoft can't compare to the wealth of Zheru Software, and if you want to acquire Sebesi, I'm afraid it will feel a little difficult. ”

Tang Huan immediately said in a hurry: "Why don't I help you contact Bank of America and see if it can provide a part of the loan to Microsoft?" ”

"Thank you......" Gates waved his hand in fear, "I think I should be able to solve the problem of funding." ”

"Then act quickly, lest it be too late for change. You know, Nishina still has a bit of a longing for Sebeth! The richest man nodded, then did not linger any longer, and took his leave cleanly.

When Gates sent Tang Huan to the door, he assured understandingly: "I will strictly guard the secret of today's conversation, just if you haven't come!" ”
