Chapter XXVII: The Beginnings of a Business Empire
It was already past twelve o'clock when the military sent Sister Lan and the three of them home, Tang Yi looked at Sister Lan who was limping with amusement and asked, "What's wrong?" Bitten by a wolf? ”
Bao'er held her mother's hand, tears were rolling in her eyes, Tang Yi was busy with her face, and said, "Bao'er, help your mother into the house to rest." "Now that Bao'er is getting older, if she is too fierce to Sister Lan in front of her, I am afraid that the little girl will ignore her.
Junzi stepped forward and told Tang Yi about Xia Dayong's blackmailing of Sister Lan, and said: "Brother, Zhuo Dayong's little rabbit cub has no future, and it will wilt if he scares a few words, I'm afraid that Zhuo Dajun will come out and cause trouble for you, I heard that Zhuo Dajun is also the master of using knives and guns?" ”
Tang Yi couldn't help but touch his lower abdomen, although what made him strange was that the scar was very shallow, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't look closely, but the wound was extremely deep at that time.
After the army left, Tang Yi sat on the sofa and drank tea and pondered about Zhuo Dajun, Zhuo Dajun was robbed and seriously injured to get in, even if he was outstanding inside, it should take a few years to come out.
Tang Yi picked up the mobile phone and was about to dial Chen Fangyuan, but he remembered Chen Fangyuan's red-faced Wang Huijuan, her lover Lu Jian is the prosecutor of the provincial court who is responsible for managing all the prisons, so that Chen Dahe came forward to speak thoroughly, and there is no problem in pressing Zhuo Dajun in it all his life, it is best to find the most basic staff to do this kind of thing, it will not involve too many people and things, and it will not be shaken out, but think about it carefully, what if Wang Huijuan's lover finds out about the drama between Chen Fangyuan and Wang Huijuan? If Lu Jian is the kind of person with a strong surname, I am afraid that he will shake this matter out with Chen Fangyuan's jade.
was hesitating, Bao'er jumped over and sat next to Tang Yi, as before, the small body sat straight, picked up the newspaper under the coffee table to read, Tang Yi smiled slightly, touched her beautiful bow, and put the phone down, anyway, he is also Bao'er's biological father, give him a chance to come out and change, if he really doesn't know how to grasp it well, he doesn't have to bother with him, there are thousands of ways to concoct him, but for Bao'er's sake, try not to let his end be too miserable, But no matter what, this matter has to be kept a secret from Bao'er for the rest of his life.
picked up the tea and took a sip, secretly leaned over to read the newspaper in Bao'er's hand, but saw that Bao'er was staring intently at the title "Interim Regulations of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Political Axe on the Selection and Appointment of Party and Government Leading Cadres", Tang Yi almost squirted out a sip of tea, grabbed Bao'er's hair, and said with a smile: "Future leader, go to sleep!" ”
Bao'er grinned, jumped off the sofa, hugged Tang Yi and kissed her, and ran to her room, but Tang Yi shouted, "Bao'er, do you want to sleep in your uncle's bed tonight?" These words, Bao'er didn't go up to the second floor one step, but Tang Yi was a little embarrassed.
Bao'er stopped, hesitated, and replied pitifully: "Don't." Ran into the room, Sister Lan had just changed into a set of loose clothes, and was twisting her soft little waist in front of the mirror, but when she saw Bao'er close the door, she ran over with a smile and hugged herself and kissed her, and asked strangely, "What are you doing?" ”
Bao'er ignored her anymore, climbed onto the small bed by herself, pulled on the beautiful pink quilt, and closed her eyes.
Tang Yi knew that at the beginning of this year, the 20-month intellectual property negotiations would come to an end, and from this year onwards, the new term intellectual property rights would gradually be accepted by the Chinese people, but unlike Hong Kong, Macao and Western countries, the Chinese people still did not form the shameful values of piracy, in fact, it was mainly because of economic reasons, just say the things on the computer, the system, all kinds of software games, If you use all the genuine ones, I really don't know how many families can afford it.
Turning to the fourth edition, a piece of news attracted Tang Yi, Nokia intends to establish the first joint venture for the large-scale production of GSM system equipment and mobile phones in China, Tang Yi immediately thought that if this joint venture settled in the Anton Economic Cooperation Zone, then Anton's reputation can be said to be played out immediately, but it is impossible to think about it, sighed softly, put down the newspaper, and suddenly thought, Nokia, now is not the Nokia at the beginning of the century, 90 years, Nokia is on the verge of bankruptcy, sell most of the subsidiaries, After only five years of painstaking operation in the mobile phone business, it is only now making small successes, but GSM has just started, and although Nokia is on the rise, it is also far from Nokia, which is in the top ten in global brand value and top 100 in assets more than ten years later.
Well, do you want my mother to talk to Nokia's decision-makers, today's Nokia and Motorola's fight in the global market has just begun, and they are still at an absolute disadvantage. As long as my mother does not interfere in the company's affairs, Nokia will develop on the original track, and Nokia, with huge financial support, will beat Motorola faster to become the king of the global mobile phone market.
Just thinking about it, the mobile phone suddenly rang, Tang Yi took it and saw that it was Yanjing's number, and said with a smile after picking it up: "Wife? ”
"You kid, do you want to go crazy with your wife?" It was a slightly majestic voice on the phone, somewhat familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"I, Peng Zhanshan of the Academy of Military Sciences."
Hearing that the other party reported his home to Tang Yi was a little embarrassed, Dean Peng and Tang Yi had met a few times, and he was a very strict old man, and he didn't like to joke much.
Tang Yi hurriedly apologized, but Dean Peng smiled and said, "I called to tell you that the Red Star Project has been successful." ”
Tang Yi was stunned, and then said in surprise: "Really? "The Red Star Project is a secret plan for the military to develop a system based on the information provided by Tang Yi, although the progress is a little slow, but Tang Yi still can't help but be a little excited when he hears the news.
Dean Peng was in a good mood and said with a smile: "In addition to informing you of the good news of this great hero, there is another thing I am looking for, that is, the most original product of Red Star, Red Star No. 1, I wonder whether to hand it over to a private software company for the research and development of a civilian production system, after all, you are the source code provider, and we also have to refer to your opinions." ”
Dean Peng went on to explain to Tang Yi that the Red Star No. 1 was actually the earliest graphic system written by the R&D team according to the source code and concepts provided by Tang Yi.
Tang Yi hesitated and asked, "Leaking the source code of Red Star One won't have any impact on the Red Star system, right?" Immediately, he knew that he was asking nonsense, and if there was a possibility of leaking secrets, how could Dean Peng hand it over to private enterprises.
Sure enough, Dean Peng said it was okay.
Tang Yi's heart moved, and after a little pondering, he smiled and said, "Dean Peng, you know that my mother is doing business in the United States, right?" ”
"I've heard a little."
Tang Yi said: "I think so, even if the Red Star No. 1 is handed over to domestic private enterprises, with the current domestic software development efforts, I am afraid that it will be a flash in the pan, not to mention the lack of domestic software talents, let's say that foreign PC merchants, they will not rest assured that they will use the domestic system, even if they are provided with source code, but as long as there is similar software in the United States, they are bound to abandon our products." ”
Dean Peng sighed and agreed with Tang Yi's analysis.
"So I think I will simply hand over the Red Star No. 1 to my mother, she is a major shareholder of Cisco, and has a very good relationship with Cisco President Chambers, if Chambers is willing to help, it is fully capable of poaching a large number of software talents, establishing a software company that can continue to run, and with Cisco's strategic partnership with IBM, Apple and other PC vendors, it should not be a problem to bind Red Star to PC sales. I believe that in the foreseeable future, the Red Star series products will definitely occupy a place in the global production system. ”
Dean Peng thought about it for a long time and said: "If it is handed over to the American company, I need to report to the Military Commission, of course, without your source code, there will be no Red Star One, and Red Star One and our official version of the Red Star Rice System are two completely different products, I will carefully explain to the Military Commission." ”
Tang Yi said with a smile: "Yes, yes, in addition, Dean Peng, if you agree to hand over the Red Star No. 1 to my mother, I believe she will not take advantage of the country in vain, and she should be able to come up with 10 to 20 million US dollars to fund the research and development of the Academy of Military Sciences." "Now the domestic military industry is a painful transition period, because the state wants these military enterprises to be responsible for their own profits and losses, many military enterprises research institutes have been forced to close, of course, the military academy will not encounter this dilemma, but the domestic economy has just developed rapidly, and the annual research funds are indeed a little tight.
Dean Peng smiled and said, "Little guy, coercion and temptation, wait for my news!" ”
…… The next day, Dean Peng called, and the Academy of Military Sciences agreed to transfer the source code of Red Star No. 1 at a price of 10 million US dollars, Tang Yi smiled slightly when he heard it, he had long expected it, but 10 million US dollars to get the source code of Red Star, how much of a bargain Tang Yi really couldn't calculate.
According to the programming concept of the new century, the computer experts of the Academy of Military Sciences have jointly created a graphics system! How can it be comparable to www.xstxt.org, Apple, Compaq and other largest PC companies to get the new system and PC binding sales negotiations, now IBM and other PC companies, has been very jealous of Microsoft's strong monopoly, the two sides divide and make trouble, now there is one more choice, those PC companies are not rushing? Not to mention the business opportunities that the new graphics system brings to them.
Don't look at Red Star is just a step ahead, but this is this step, it will drive other software companies to develop software with Red Star as a standard, computer and other digital industry predators are fighting for this standard, the winner monopolizes the market, the loser has to reformulate the corporate strategy, the heavy blow it brings can be imagined, as for this standard battle, if Red Star really wins, it will undoubtedly give Microsoft has been secretly developing windows95 a fatal blow.
And with the support of strong talents, Red Star Software will continue from generation to generation, Tang Yi even has a development strategy for the next twenty or thirty years of his mother's business empire in an instant, if his mother's investment in Nokia is successful, then even if he has an unpredictable future, his mother's business empire can develop at a high speed.
Thinking about Tang Yi is a little enthusiastic, thinking that in the twenties and thirties of the new century, it will be the era of mobile phone computerization, the most powerful mobile brand and PC software companies close together, the future mobile phone and mobile software market is bound to be shrouded by the wings of Huayi Group falling from the sky.
Tang Yi excitedly drank a few large sips of herbal tea, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Xiao Jinhua's number.
"Son, haven't slept yet?" Xiao Jinhua's kind words rang out.
Tang Yi smiled: "Mom, I have something to hand over to you, I can't mail it, I will go to Seoul in a few days, let's see you in Seoul!" ”
"Seoul? Emergency? Can Ruth transfer it to me, I have something to do in the next few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave, Ruth is in Seoul to carry out the expansion plan of the Grand Hotel New York in Asia. ”
"No, I have to talk to you face to face." Tang Yi's answer was categorical.
Xiao Jinhua Gege laughed: "Silly boy, do you miss your mother?" Then I'll fly to see you tomorrow. ”
Tang Yi was a little helpless: "I'm going to Yanjing tomorrow to get the documents." ”
Xiao Jinhua smiled slightly: "Then I'll be there at night." ”
Hanging up the phone, Tang Yi gradually calmed down, he knew that his expectations were just the most ideal state, but the future was full of difficulties, let's talk about Microsoft, who is at the helm of it? Red Star Software and Microsoft Fight? The odds aren't really big. Maybe a surprise win in the early stage can cause some blows to Microsoft, but when Microsoft recovers and reformulates its strategy, Red Star's situation must be very difficult.
However, Tang Yi never thought that Red Star would monopolize the system market like Microsoft, as long as he could get a piece of the pie.
The worst thing is the fiasco of Red Star, and the loss is only tens of millions, which is insignificant compared to the possible benefits.
Well, the name of the red star is going to be changed, and it is obviously red.
Tang Yi was thinking wildly, but he fell asleep on the sofa, and in the middle of the night, Sister Lan secretly covered him with a blanket, Tang Yi wanted to reprimand her at that time, why didn't she wake up and go to sleep? But seeing the funny scene of Sister Lan taking a few steps back and almost falling down after she opened her eyes, Tang Yi shook his head, threw the blanket to Sister Lan, and went upstairs to sleep.
Sister Lan hurriedly ripped off the blanket covering her head, and looked at Tang Yi's back with a burst of annoyance, no matter how big an official she was, the black-faced god still liked to bully people so much.
…… The next day, Tang Yi flew to Yanjing early in the morning, and rushed back to Anton after getting the source code, Xiao Jinhua arrived at seven o'clock in the evening, Tang Yi and his mother discussed secretly in the study for three hours, and explained his plan to his mother in detail, but Xiao Jinhua smiled and said: "There is no chance of winning against Microsoft, but you can rest assured, I will use this piece of golden lump." ”
Tang Yi nodded slightly, knowing that his mother has been holding billions of dollars in the past few years, and she is no longer the mother she was a few years ago, but her understanding of the business battlefield is not much better than herself. I just provide a big idea, and as for the specific mother, I naturally know it, so I don't have to worry about it.
Sister Lan and Aunt Li have been waiting for Xiao Jinhua and Tang Yi to eat, Xiao Jinhua went downstairs and hurriedly apologized to them, and praised Sister Lan's good craftsmanship during the meal.
Tang Yi smiled: "Mom, you can't eat authentic Chinese food, right?" Is this craft also applauded? I'll cook you a few dishes later. ”
Xiao Jinhua knocked Tang Yi on the head with chopsticks: "The bigger you are, the more you don't understand humility!" Tang Yi was embarrassed, but Sister Lan almost laughed, and hurriedly lowered her head to pick up the rice, not daring to look at the embarrassment of the black face.
After eating, Xiao Jinhua ran to Bao'er's room to tease Bao'er, Bao'er was cute and beautiful, and her mouth was sweet, so she coaxed Xiao Jinhua to hug Bao'er and kiss her, and even turned around and asked Tang Yi to give him a good grandson quickly.
In the end, Xiao Jinhua took off the diamond necklace around his neck and tied it to Bao'er's neck, and looked at Sister Lan's eyes straight, the brilliant blue diamonds had never been seen in TV magazines, and Sister Lan's apricot eyes were like silk, and she almost fainted.
Tang Yi frowned: "Mom, Bao'er is still young, why are you wearing a necklace for her?" ”
Xiao Jinhua glared: "I like Bao'er, what's wrong?" ”
Tang Yi said helplessly: "You are doting, wearing a necklace at such a young age will become vain!" ”
Xiao Jinhua pouted: "What's wrong with a girl's vanity?" Our Tang family's big house is not vain. ”
Tang Yi was so angry that he couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to contradict his mother, so he muttered in a low voice: "I won't give gifts, look at other people's little sisters, how good it is to send a piece of jade, what are you doing!" ”
Xiao Jinhua glared at Tang Yi and said, "If you have a daughter-in-law, you forgot your mother, right?" Tang Yi was speechless.
Bao'er took off the necklace and returned it to Xiao Jinhua, saying, "Grandma, I don't want it." ”
Xiao Jinhua smiled: "Why? ”
Bao'er glanced at Tang Yi timidly and said, "Uncle doesn't like it." ”
Xiao Jinhua smiled: "Does that Bao'er like it?" ”
Boa looked at the beautiful diamond and shook her head.
Xiao Jinhua pinched Bao'er's little face and said, "Don't be afraid of him, is it okay to take Bao'er to the United States with Grandma Ming?" In the future, you will study and go to school in the United States, play with grandma, and grandma will buy you whatever Bao'er likes, okay? ”
When Bao'er heard this, she pouted, broke free from Xiao Jinhua's arms, ran behind Tang Yi, poked out her little head and said, "Bao'er wants to be with her uncle, so she won't go to the United States, grandma is not good, she is dead." ”
Xiao Jinhua giggled and shook his head gently: "This kid is so good." ”
Tang Yi sighed: "Mom, if you're really bored, you can move in together, and the business over there will be taken care of." ”
Xiao Jinhua shook his head, seeing that his mother was a little depressed, Tang Yi said a few words in Bao'er's ear, Bao'er ran over with a smile and hugged Xiao Jinhua to make love, Xiao Jinhua picked up Bao'er, but turned around and glared at Tang Yi, and said: "Mom doesn't eat the food that comes from me, I'll stay for a few days, see if Bao'er is close to you or with me when I leave!" ”
Tang Yi rubbed his nose helplessly, with himself, his mother would always become a big child.
Xiao Jinhua left Anton the day before Tang Yi was ready to go to Seoul, and she was radiant when she left, who had enjoyed a few days of heavenly pleasures, Bao'er was really coaxed by her grandmother to be inseparable from her, and sent her away with red circles, although Xiao Jinhua was also uncomfortable, but he still made a victory gesture to Tang Yi, which made Tang Yi depressed and helpless.
After dinner, Tang Yi just went upstairs when he received a call from his mother, who was waiting for the flight at Yanjing Airport, and said with a smile: "It's true, I forgot that necklace in Bao'er's room, it seems to have been put in a drawer that day." Tang Yi was stunned, and said, "Then I'll send it to you, and you will leave a day later." ”
Xiao Jinhua said: "Forget it, I came in a hurry, I didn't bring a gift to Bao'er, so I should give her a gift." ”
Tang Yi was surprised, if he gave Bao'er by himself, he would naturally not feel distressed, but in the eyes of others, Bao'er is just the daughter of his nanny, although there is a relationship with the little sister, but it is really unreasonable to give such a heavy gift, after all, my mother just doesn't like luxury anymore, every time she goes in and out of the most high society, can the necklace she wear be worse?
Xiao Jinhua seemed to know Tang Yi's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You think it's a necklace worth hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars, right?" ”
Tang Yiqi said: "Otherwise, how much is it worth?" ”
Xiao Jinhua said: "It's just a few thousand dollars. ”
Tang Yi smiled dumbly and said, "Mom, is your stingy reputation famous on Wall Street?" ”
Xiao Jinhua chuckled: "Who said that?" My necklace is a high imitation, who would dare to say that it is a fake when I wear it? Does any connoisseur dare to come up close and verify? ”
Tang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Mom, you yourself are a famous brand." ”
Xiao Jinhua smiled proudly: "Son, what you said is right." ”
Tang Yi said again: "But Mom, don't be too stingy, why do you keep so much money?" ”
Xiao Jinhua was silent for a moment and said, "The only jewelry your father left me was a jade bracelet, and it was also the only genuine piece of my jewelry. ”
Tang Yi sighed softly and couldn't speak anymore.
...... "Secretary Tang, Secretary Tang." Sister Lan shouted anxiously downstairs.
Tang Yi, who was immersed in sadness, frowned, got up and went downstairs, walked to the corner of the stairs, and saw Sister Lan holding the blue necklace in her hand at the staircase on the first floor, with a pretty face of sincere fear, as if she was holding a hot potato in her hand.
Tang Yi frowned and said, "What are you shouting, it's for Bao'er, you can take it first." He didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned to go upstairs.
Sister Lan looked at the necklace in her hand blankly, and her apricot eyes gradually blurred.
