Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 771: The most unlikely run

...

From the perspective of God that takes the overall picture, in this era of rapid change, the reason why ibm is in trouble is mainly because the successful operation that once put itself on the altar has formed a constant inertia for decades. Completely restrained.

At this time, ibm needs to emerge a decisive ZTE overlord, break the old rules and bad habits, and keep pace with the times.

It is a pity that ibm is not controlled by a certain family. Even Watson, the old man, had very few shares in his hands. The reason why he was able to monopolize the power was because his founder had the ability to make Wall Street trust him; and succeeded. Watson’s young man, to a large extent, has been swayed by his father.

In the future, the Watson family gave up the throne as the top leader. Frank Cary, John Opel, and John Axe were all professional executives trained from within ibm.

Wall Street, accustomed to "raising pigs and killing pigs", might have a sense of mission for a pig, even if the breed is absolutely excellent? What's more, another big fat pig, Fangyuan, is fully qualified to replace it.

Little Watson was still alive, and he was able to exert influence with Frank Cary and others in the posture of Emperor Tai, but it was not right at all, and there was only one result—it didn't help.

The current ibm chief executive officer John Ax, naturally cannot be an incompetent person. After he took office, he focused his energy on reforming the bureaucratic abuses inside IBM. But he himself is an ibm-trained executive, a native of ibm, a fan of the authorities, and even some urgent problems that need to be solved. In his view, it is normal and there is no need for change. The so-called change inevitably becomes A pot of raw rice.

Because of this kind of thanklessness, John Ax was under a lot of pressure, including Frank Cary, the former CEO of ibm. In their view, the first problem ibm should solve is how to defeat the opponent.

Tang Huan, who once offered the "split" strategy "kindly", can also jump out and continue to gesticulate, "Idiots, at this time ibm needs to airborne a visionary and ruthless person from the outside to become the leader, or else, even cut expenses. Reducing costs can only be done on paper. Aside from anything else, that has become a very cumbersome lifelong employment system, which native ibm executive has the courage to abolish."

Obviously, the richest man can only help ibm rebirth when he is full, and it is in his best interest to dismantle this old monster that is not so good.

Of course, the shrewd Wall Street may also find a panacea for the ill ibm, and Tang Huan can only watch it "optimistically".

In fact, when the once invincible blue giant was about to fall down, Tang Huan did not have the joy that his subordinates imagined. Gein must consider that the next standard personal computer will become a real one. What should I do in the mainstream era of the world.

History is the best teacher.

Not alarmist, ibm's yesterday and today are very likely to be Fangyuan's tomorrow-an industry monopolist on the cusp of public criticism.

No matter how many commendable glory you have cast, being in this position is itself a sin.

Regarding his brainchild, Tang Huan is naturally full of sentimental sense of mission, hoping that he can also achieve a century-old cause instead of the greedy demand of Wall Street.

However, there can be no simple answers to such questions, and there is no rush, and now Tang Huan still has a lot of trophies from "Black Monday" to deal with.

...

Recently, Yang Shoucheng has just changed a decent car-a Rolls Royce. He used to prefer Mercedes-Benz, but when HSBC took over all assets in the past few years, he was run by the other side. He was no longer worthy to sit. Only successful people. With the Mercedes-Benz owned, it left a psychological shadow and no longer favored this brand.

After taking a sip of cigar comfortably, Yang Shoucheng looked at the Rolls-Royce with satisfaction, feeling that the scenery of the past is finally back, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "You have to change to a nice license plate if you have a chance."

The younger brother in charge of carrying the bag jokingly said: "When the Hong Kong government auctions the license plate again, the boss also buys a single-digit license plate like Sir Shao and Tang's richest man."

"Do you want others to ridicule me about how high the sky is?" Yang Shoucheng cursed with a smile, and then asked, "Is all notices in place?"

"Everything is ready, I'm leaving you to be a shareholder." The little brother opened the car door swiftly.

"Then let's go." Yang Shoucheng's face was straight, and he ordered in a deep voice.

...

The destination of this trip was the HSBC Headquarters in Central on Hong Kong Island, but after driving less than half of the distance, it was blocked on the road.

After Yang Shoucheng raised his hand and looked at the watch, he frowned and complained: "This road is not blocked on weekdays. Maybe another provincial and Hong Kong flag soldier robbed a gold shop."

"I'll go ahead and see what's going on?" The little brother volunteered to get off the car and trot to the front.

Yang Shoucheng squinted his eyes and kept deducing the plan in his heart. After a short while, he heard the panting little brother pull the car door to report: "Boss, it will be open to traffic soon. Someone jumped out of the building and the police are dealing with it."

"Then get in the car and wait for a while." Yang Shoucheng nodded slightly.

"Boss..." The pale little brother said hesitantly: "Or, I'll blow the hair outside first. When I rushed over, I just saw the person jumping downstairs. I didn't expect it. The voice would be so Big, brainy..."

Having said that, the little brother retched several times, obviously not wanting to mention the scene again.

"Things that are not promising, get in the car quickly." Yang Shoucheng snorted, and threw a newspaper over, "Look at this, since the stock market crash occurred, on which day no one has jumped off the building? If you are too scared to stand it, just Spit on it."

"I would rather use a newspaper to block my mouth than to get the car dirty." The little brother got into the car groaningly.

...

Rolls-Royce stopped steadily, Yang Shoucheng picked up the leather bag cautiously, got out of the car, and walked slowly towards the door of the HSBC Building.

When passing by the two famous bronze lions, he deliberately stopped for a moment and sneered playfully: "Steven, Shidi, you may be moving again. Also, Stephen, my boss said , The way you yell is so ugly!"

After entering the business hall, Yang Shoucheng casually found a free window and walked over, took out a folder from his purse, handed it over and said indifferently: "Withdraw money."

Just after reading the first few deposit receipts, the dignified female salesperson immediately became nervous, "Sir, your business needs to go through a special process, and I have no corresponding authorization at this window. Before you came, did you not contact the manager to make an appointment? ?"

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is here to play the game, how can you obey the procedures you set honestly and stubbornly." Yang Shoucheng, who joked in his heart, said calmly, "I have already called, and the answer I got is , Just come to the window to handle it today."

"How is it possible." The female salesperson blurted out.

"You mean, am I lying?" Yang Shoucheng's face suddenly sank.

"You misunderstood, I didn't mean that." The female salesperson quickly apologized, "Wait a moment, I will report to the manager right away."

Almost after turning around, the manager appeared, but he was only sweating, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Yang, which manager did you contact before?"

"I don't remember so much." Yang Shoucheng opened his eyes impatiently, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to spend money."

At this time, a dozen sturdy men in black suits and sunglasses stood behind Yang Shoucheng. The brand-new password boxes they carried were even more eye-catching.

Others in the business hall have noticed this scene and started to whisper.

...

"Why, is this going to shoot the new "God of Gamblers" and "The True Colors of Heroes"?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"It should not be. You didn't see that person. It's not Zhou Runfa at all."

"Now that Zhou Run's pay is so high, it is possible for the film company to change to a new person."

...

Glancing at the security personnel standing in the distance, waiting in full battle, Yang Shoucheng urged his nostrils in the sky, "What do you mean by letting me just wait like this?"

"We are reporting to it." The manager smiled and brought the aromatic coffee. "Or, let's talk to the VIP room."

"If you go to the VIP room, wouldn't the noise that come out be too small." Yang Shoucheng muttered in his heart, and unceremoniously refused: "I just like the openness here."

...

In the office of the chairman of HSBC's board of directors, Pu Weishi is anxiously awaiting news from the United States.

The outside world may not realize it yet, but the HSBC executive has a mirror in his heart. Starting from "Black Monday", the major global stock market disasters that have raged around the world have dragged HSBC into the quagmire.

One of the main reasons is that HSBC, as the behind-the-scenes planner, spent tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the previous acquisitions of several major listed companies of Qinhe.

The situation of the other partners is better to say. After all, they are all consortium-level bosses and have enough background to back up, but Liu Luanxiong is in trouble. This savvy guy refuses to use his own side to borrow money at the critical stage of the war However, I was only willing to be a trader of HSBC, which made HSBC’s precious cash disappear with the plummeting Hang Seng Index, turning it into a big bad debt.

Until now, Pu Weishi is still sighing up to the sky: only a small step away, Qinhe will actually lose control of Xiangjiang Electric Light, Milk International, Oriental Hotel, Qinhe Infrastructure. However, God refuses the beauty of adulthood!

What worries Pu Weishi more is that Tang Huan, who is hidden behind Qinhe's first line, seems to have not been greatly affected in this global stock market disaster, and even has spare capacity to retaliate, such as Ocean Bank of America.

Finally, the New York side sent back a message overnight: At least 40% of the shares of Ocean Bank of America were concentrated in the hands of a mysterious investment company, making it the second largest Ocean Bank of America under HSBC. Shareholders, and the other party has formally issued conditions, either to launch a full-scale acquisition or reorganize the board of directors.

The "three benches" strategy covering Asia, Europe, and the Americas is the core of HSBC’s international transformation. However, the sphere of influence in Europe and the Americas has long been divided. Outsiders are not welcome to grab food, and even HSBC’s hometown, the UK, is also like this.

If HSBC wants to settle in these places where the business environment is already perfect, it can only find a soft persimmon who has nowhere to go, take advantage of it, and try to seduce it slowly, and there are rare opportunities. This is the case with Ocean Bank of America.

Since the removal of various legal obstacles in 1980 and the acquisition of 51% of the shares of Ocean Bank of America, HSBC has invested billions of dollars in this mismanagement of money-losing goods.

After spending so much effort, the only goal is to wait for the opportunity to completely acquire Ocean Bank of America, and eventually merge it and become HSBC in the United States.

But now suddenly there is a spoiler who beats snakes and seven inches, which is really disgusting!

Pu Weishi just exploded a foul language, and the British side also tried his best to send a confirmed message: Midland Bank, the youngest of the four major British banks, was called by Lidi to an investment company underneath, The bargain hunter acquired 14.9% of the shares, and the two parties have already begun relevant negotiations.

"This is definitely deliberate." Pu Weishi slapped the table angrily.

The British Midland Bank is to Europe, and the American Ocean Bank is to the Americas. Both are an indispensable part of HSBC's "three benches" internationalization strategy. In particular, the former also has the special significance of HSBC's ability to "return home in good shape".

Since 1981 ~www.wuxiaspot.com~HSBC tried to acquire Royal Bank of Scotland and was rejected by the British Monopoly and Merger Commission. HSBC has been cautiously looking for the next target, and Midland Bank has almost become the best choice. Staying focused at all times, I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would suddenly come out in the middle of the road. 》≠miào》≠bi》≠gé》≠,

"This should be Tang Huan's handwriting, otherwise others will not be as deliberate as here." Pu Weishi said to himself in annoyance.

At this moment, the subordinates ran to bother him with no expression, "There is a customer in the business hall below, and he wants to withdraw 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash immediately."

Hearing this, Pu Weishi was shocked and cursed: "What do you do for food, why don't you keep paying attention to such an important large account?"

"What the other party brought is a pile of deposit receipts and related authorization documents." The subordinate replied weakly: "Now he is making a noise in the business hall, and no one can deal with it."

"A group of rice buckets!" Pu Weishi smiled furiously, "Why, do you need me to come out in person?"

The subordinate did not say a word, but the expression in his eyes clearly meant that: "Don't hold the air, 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash is enough for the HSBC executive to meet any unknown person in person."

"This is definitely a series of conspiracies." Pu Weishi gritted his teeth and walked out angrily.
