Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 71



Chapter 71 What is your net worth now

COMDEX became popular, and its influence has naturally risen. Various related reports have continued to pay attention to it for a long time. One of the results is that the popular Zheru and Tang Huan have spread their fame.

One of the proofs is that before boarding the flight to Xiangjiang, Tang Huan easily bought a professional magazine that conducted a detailed analysis of the development of the personal computer industry this year. It introduced Tang Huan, Jobs, and Gates in detail. The young people’s entrepreneurial experience commented on Tang Huan as “the grassroots of personal computers-Apple Computer, the biggest driving force behind the functions of commercial computers.”

And, through seemingly detailed data calculations, the magazine has reached a conclusion: The total value of a series of products on the Apple computer platform by Zheru has surpassed that of the Apple computer itself.

Now Apple’s main product-Apple IIPlus, the model is AppleIIPlus, the listing date is 1978, and the price is 1,200 US dollars.

Zheru’s product price is: CGird and WordEasy are each for a single copy of 100 US dollars, the display function enhanced expansion card is 500 US dollars, the printing function enhanced expansion card and printer total 2,000 US dollars, and the latest killer application EBase is 500 US dollars.

Because MA is a professional software development tool, it is not included in the statistics.

As for the Fangyuan computer, since it is not on sale in the United States, it is directly ignored. The Cassidy game console, which is priced at $200, belongs to another product category and is not considered.

The selling price of this series of products is 3200 US dollars, plus Apple Computer’s 1200 US dollars, so that customers can have a complete and practical package of information office solutions within a 5,000 US dollars budget.

In this complete industrial chain, it is obvious who is in the first place.

Putting down the magazine, Tang Huan couldn’t help but laugh. The media can’t get rid of the instinct of hype.

According to this statistical result, Zheru earns more than Apple, but in fact, Zheru’s sales are only about two-thirds of Apple’s sales.

There are many reasons for this. For example, EBase was just launched, and it was illogically counted before it had time to produce obvious benefits.

Of course, it can be foreseen that with the promotion of the market, coupled with the financial and invoicing system developed based on EBase, it will definitely become the most important source of income.

Another example, each customer may buy several Apple computers at the same time, and the number of software copies increases accordingly, but they often only purchase one printing system, and there is also an agency price of $800 per Epson printer.

At the beginning, the $2,000 printing system caused Jobs’ displeasure. Tang Huan had to open a small factory in Silicon Valley to independently produce hardware such as expansion cards. It can be seen that this income is not so smoothly earned. In your hands.

To tell the truth, Tang Huan is very satisfied with the sales performance he has now.

What’s more, compared with the hard work of fighting for some revenue on the CP/M platform, the Apple computer platform has always been a comfortable monopoly.

Compared to two-thirds of sales, Tang Huan took 20% of Zheru’s shares in exchange for 7% of Apple’s shares, which seems to be a bit of a loss, but the value of the shares that can be listed is not the value of ordinary shares. Compared to.

And don’t forget, it is precisely because of the cross-shareholding relationship that the two parties can cooperate so seamlessly.

In addition, based on the communication brought about by this relationship, Zheru gained a lot of experience from Apple, and even the employees of the two companies often communicated privately. Many people who could not stand Jobs’ temper simply jumped over.

Regardless of tangible wealth or intangible gain, this transaction is extremely cost-effective.

At present, Tang Huan’s wealth includes not only Apple’s 7% shares, but also Zheru’s 35% shares, Volkswagen’s 30% shares, and Singapore’s joint venture factory 50%. Five shares, as well as 100% ownership of the Treasure Island Factory, Treasure Island Subsidiary, Singapore Subsidiary, Japanese Subsidiary, and Xiangjiang Subsidiary.

In addition, all revenues from Fangyuan Computers and Xiaobawang game consoles should also be included.

The advantage that Apple took from Tang Huan was actually only 20% of the software products of Zheru.

Calculating so carefully, Tang Huan actually drew a lot of dishes on his plate.

As for the remaining 65% of Zheru’s shares, aunt Tang Yun and Deng Lijun each account for 10%, Wang Xuehong, Wang Xueling, and Jian Mingren each have 5%, Apple has 20%, and finally Ten percent of the total is reserved for executives such as Simone, Chambers, and Shi Chongtang to share.

It can be said that when Tang Huan made a fortune, he also balanced the interests of his relatives, friends, and collaborators.

These news reports can only use superficial data to come up with an eye-catching result that seems to be justified and well-founded, so as to achieve the purpose of making readers buy it. But how do they know the complicated pros and cons of mistakes under the surface?

Hu Yinmeng glanced at Tang Huan, who was thinking with his eyes closed, and then looked at the photo of Tang Huan’s vigorous spirit in the magazine, and he couldn’t help but come to the conclusion that the boss was narcissistically savoring his success.

Thinking of this, Hu Yinmeng secretly wrote a paragraph in his notebook.

Since being forced by Tang Huanqiang to write the novel “Shanghai_Beach”, Hu Yinmeng gradually discovered that she did have a talent for writing, so she planned to record this inexplicable career experience, especially Tang Huan, a black heart. The deeds of the boss, waited for the grandmother to endure enough that day, after SayGoodbye, she published a book to expose his ugly faces.

Tang Huan naturally did not know that his female secretary was dreaming of being a writer. He looked at the scenery of the clouds outside the plane and began to consider the layout of the Xiangjiang River.

In Tang Huan’s view, when Japanese high-tech companies thought of ways to sharpen their heads and squeeze into the US market, they just let their products take advantage of technology and cost advantages to fully occupy the Asian market.

For example, Xiangjiang, a special place, has the economic status of the Asian Four Little Dragons, and naturally has the material foundation for computerized office work.

Besides Japan, these regions hardly have any market competitors. Once the demand is successfully stimulated, it means that financial resources are rolling in.

This kind of water test has already been operated by a subsidiary of Heung Kong, and it has been quite rewarding.

Although Tang Huan has always regarded Xiangjiang as a transit point on the itinerary, because there are more reliable network resources, such as father Zhuang Yinuo and the manpower arranged by his aunt Han Anlin, the establishment of the company is much better than other places. Feeling comfortable.

Therefore, Tang Huan’s visit to Xiangjiang this time can only be described as sitting and enjoying his success. He only needs to walk directly into the office in the Kowloon business district and pick up the documents on the desk to read it.

With previous life experience, Tang Huan naturally knows the many benefits of mastering the media, not to mention that COMDEX not long ago has benefited him a lot.

For this reason, Tang Huan had a long abacus for Xiangjiang, the special place of Chinese cultural output in the 1980s.

At present, in the field of wireless TV with a huge audience in Hong Kong, the two powers are opposed, TVB and Lai TV,

According to the historical development, the former will undergo major changes in the power structure. The first chairman of the board of directors, Li Xiaohe, and the first general manager, Yu Jingwei, both died in 1980, and another major shareholder, Run Run Shaw, immediately focused on his career. Transfer over and take the opportunity to monopolize the power.

Run Run Run was the initial shareholder, and he planned to take over early, and TVB has not yet been listed, so there is no suitable opportunity to intervene in this change process.

It is Li TV, which has undergone three major changes in ownership throughout the 1980s.

In 1982, Qiu Degen acquired the shares held by the Australian consortium and successfully became the master. In the same year, he changed his name to “Asian Television”.

There is no doubt that this goal has ample time to plan, and only needs to wait until 1981, when the first equity change occurs.

Because the British parent company of Li’s TV failed to invest in a laundry factory in Canada at that time, it decided to shrink its business in East Asia and sold Li’s TV to an Australian consortium.

Thinking of this, Tang Huan opened his eyes and said to Hu Yinmeng: “After you arrive at Xiangjiang, take the time to see how the “Shang_Ban” novel has reacted.”

Hu Yinmeng hurriedly closed her notebook and promised “OK” crisply. She has become accustomed to the non-stop working rhythm Tang Huan came to Xiangjiang this time, and someone came to pick up the plane. It was aunt Han Anlin specially. The helpers arranged here are first to help him take care of some chores, and second to ensure his safety, both civil and military, and it can be said that they are complete.

Of course, Tang Huan accepted this kindness unconditionally.

A long distance away, Tang Huan saw a man with glasses in his forties who always had a wooden face, and a red-faced man with axles who was about his age. He was very familiar with him. The former was called Zhou Mi. The latter is called Lu Xiaohu.

After seeing Tang Huan, Zhou Mi’s cold face showed a faint smile, and raised his hand to beckon.

Tang Huanji stepped forward and hugged the two bears separately, and his excitement was overwhelming. “I haven’t seen each other for several years. I really want to kill me.”

Lu Xiaohu, who was smiling happily, glanced at the slim Hu Yinmeng behind, and asked Tang Huan in a low voice, “How much is your net worth now? Staying in Xiangjiang these days, eating your food, drinking yours, it is very moisturizing, but never I want to understand this question, but I dare not ask Lao Zhou.”

Tang Huan got into the car and laughed, “Then don’t think about it, just eat and drink hard.”

Xiaohu Lu touched his head and smiled, and sat in the driving seat and asked, “Where to go first, the company or the villa? By the way, the villa is so impressive.”

Hu Yinmeng suddenly interjected: “Send me to the newspaper first.”

Tang Huan nodded, “Okay, take you there first, and then we will go to the company.”

“Take the order.” Lu Xiaohu laughed and started the car.
