Chapter 27 The embryonic form of a commercial empire
It was past twelve o'clock when Zi sent Sister Lan and the others home. Tang Yi looked at the limping Sister Lan in a funny way and asked, "What happened? Was he bitten by a wolf?"
Bao'er held her mother's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. Tang Yi hurriedly straightened his face and said: "Bao'er, help your mother go into the house to rest. Now that Bao'er is getting older, he won't behave in front of her anymore.
If he is too harsh towards Sister Lan, he is afraid that the little girl will ignore him.
Junzi stepped forward and told Tang Yi about Xia Dayong's blackmailing of Sister Lan, and then said: "Brother, that little brat Zhuo Dayong has no future. He will wilt after just a few scare words. I'm afraid that Zhuo Dayong will come out to help you."
To cause trouble, I heard that Zhuo Dajun is also the master of swords and guns?"
Tang Yi couldn't help but touch his lower abdomen. Although what surprised him was that the scar was very shallow and couldn't be seen without looking carefully, but the wound was extremely deep at that time.
After Junzi left, Tang Yi sat on the sofa, sipping tea and thinking about Zhuo Dajun. Zhuo Dajun went in for robbery and serious injury. No matter how outstanding he was inside, it would take him a few years to get out.
Tang Yi picked up his cell phone and was about to call Chen Fangyuan, but he remembered Chen Fangyuan's beauty Wang Huijuan. Her lover Lu Jian was the prosecutor responsible for managing all prisons in the provincial court, and asked Chen Dahe to come forward and tell the truth.
There is no problem keeping Zhuo Dajun in there for the rest of his life. To do this kind of thing, just go to the lowest level.
The staff are the best. They won’t involve too many people and things, and they won’t be exposed. But if you think about it carefully, what if Wang Huijuan’s lover discovers the drama between Chen Fangyuan and Wang Huijuan one day? What if Lu Jian is a temperament?
A strong-willed person would probably die together with Chen Fangyuan and expose this matter.
Just as he was hesitating, Baoer ran over and sat next to Tang Yi. As before, he sat upright, picked up the newspaper under the coffee table and read it. Tang Yi smiled slightly, touched her beautiful bow, and
Put down the phone. No matter what, he is also Bao'er's biological father.
, give him a chance to change. If he really doesn't know how to take advantage of it, he won't have to worry about him. There are thousands of ways to deal with him, but for Bao'er's sake, try not to let him end up too badly.
It's miserable, but no matter what, this matter will have to be hidden from Bao'er for the rest of his life.
Picking up the tea and taking a sip, he secretly leaned over to read the newspaper in Bao'er's hand. He saw that Bao'er was staring attentively at the title, which was "Interim Regulations of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government on the Selection and Appointment of Party and Government Leading Cadres." Tang Yi almost spit out his tea after a sip of tea.
He came out, grabbed Bao'er's hair, and said with a smile: "Future leader, go to sleep!"
Bao'er smiled. He jumped off the sofa, hugged Tang Yi, kissed him, and ran to his room. However, Tang Yi shouted: "Bao'er, do you want to sleep in uncle's big bed tonight?" These days?
, Bao'er didn't even go up to the second floor, but Tang Yi felt a little uncomfortable.
Baoer stopped, hesitated, and replied pitifully: "No." Then he ran into the room. Sister Lan had just changed into a set of loose clothes. She was twisting her soft little waist in the mirror.
Looking left and right, he saw Baoer closing the door, running over to him with a smile, hugging him and giving him a kiss, and asked strangely: "What are you doing again?"
Baoer ignored her and ignored her. He climbed into the crib, pulled up the beautiful pink quilt, and closed his eyes happily.
After Bao'er left, Tang Yi picked up the newspaper and glanced at reports about Sino-US negotiations on intellectual property rights. Tang Yi knew that at the beginning of this year, the twenty-month intellectual property negotiations would come to an end.
, starting from this year, the new term intellectual property has gradually been accepted by the Chinese people.
But unlike Hong Kong, Macao and Western countries, the Chinese people have not yet formed the value of piracy being shameful. In fact, it is mainly due to economic reasons. Let’s talk about things on computers, operating systems, various software games, I don’t know if all of them are genuine.
How many families can afford it.
Turning to the fourth page, a piece of news attracted Tang Yi. Nokia intends to establish the first joint venture in China to mass-produce GSM system equipment and mobile phones. What Tang Yi immediately thought of was that if this joint venture settled in Anton Economic
In the combined area, it can be said that Anton's reputation will be beaten out immediately, but thinking about it, it is absolutely impossible. He sighed softly, put down the newspaper, and suddenly thought of
, Nokia, now is not the Nokia of the beginning of the century. In 1990, Nokia was on the verge of bankruptcy. It sold most of its subsidiaries and only retained the mobile phone business. After five years of hard work, it has achieved some success now, but GSM has just started.
, although Nokia is on the rise, it is still far from Nokia, which will be among the top ten in global brand value and top 100 in assets more than ten years later.
Well, do you want Mom to talk to Nokia's decision-makers? The current battle between Nokia and Motorola in the global market has just begun, and they are still at an absolute disadvantage. If Mom is willing to inject capital, Nokia's decision-makers would be eager to come, right? And as long as
My mother does not interfere in the company's affairs, and Nokia develops on its original track. With huge financial support, Nokia will defeat Motorola faster and become the king of the global mobile phone market.
Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone suddenly rang. Tang Yi took it over and saw that it was a Beijing number. After picking it up, he smiled and said, "Wife?"
"You kid, do you miss your wife so much?" There was a slightly majestic voice on the phone. It was a bit familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was for the moment.
"I am Peng Zhanshan of the Academy of Military Science."
Tang Yike was a little embarrassed when he heard the other party announcing his family name. Dean Peng and Tang Yi had met several times. He was a very serious old man who didn't like to joke around.
Tang Yi apologized hurriedly, but Dean Peng smiled and said, "I'm calling to tell you that the Red Star Project has been successful."
Tang Yi was startled, and then said in surprise: "Really?" The Red Star Project is a secret plan for the military to independently develop an operating system based on the information provided by Tang Yi. Although the progress is a bit slow, Tang Yi still restrained himself after hearing the news.
I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Dean Peng was in a good mood and said with a smile: "In addition to informing you of the good news about this great hero, I also have another thing to do, which is Red Star's most original product, Red Star No. 1. I'm wondering whether it should be handed over to a private software company.
When conducting research and development of civilian operating systems, after all, you are the source code provider, and we must also refer to your opinions."
Dean Peng then explained to Tang Yi that Red Star One was actually the earliest graphical operating system written by the R&D team based on the source code and concepts provided by Tang Yi. On this basis, after nearly a year of research and development, the official version
The Red Star operating system was launched.
Tang Yi hesitated and asked: "Leaking the source code of Red Star One will not have any impact on the Red Star system, right?" Then he knew that what he was asking was nonsense. If there was a possibility of leakage, how could Dean Peng hand it over?
To private enterprises.
Sure enough, Dean Peng said it was okay.
Tang Yi was moved in his heart. After thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and said, "Dean Peng. You know that my mother is doing business in the United States, right?"
"I've heard a little bit about it."
Tang Yi said: "This is what I think. Even if Red Star One is handed over to domestic private enterprises, with the current intensity of domestic software development, it will only be a flash in the pan. Not to mention the lack of domestic software talents, let's talk about foreign PC merchants. They are not
They will feel comfortable using domestic operating systems, even if we provide them with the source code. But as long as similar software is available in the United States, they will inevitably abandon our products."
Dean Peng gave a gracious expression and approved Tang Yidi's analysis.
"So I think we should simply hand over Red Star One to my mother. She is a major shareholder of Cisco. She has a very good relationship with Cisco CEO Chambers. If Chambers is willing to help, she is fully capable of poaching a large number of software talents.
Establishing a software company that can continue to operate, and relying on Cisco's strategic partnership with IBM, Apple and other PC manufacturers, it should not be a problem to bind Red Star to PC sales. I believe that in the foreseeable future, Red Star series products will definitely
It will occupy a place on the global operating system."
Dean Peng thought about it for a long time and said: "If it is handed over to an American company, I need to report it to the Military Commission. Of course, without your source code, there would be no Red Star One, and Red Star One is completely different from our official version of the Red Star operating system."
Two completely different products. I will carefully explain it to the Military Commission."
Tang Yi smiled and said: "It should be, and Dean Peng, if you agree to hand over Red Star One to my mother, I believe she will not take advantage of the country in vain, and she should be able to spend one thousand to twenty million US dollars."
, to fund the research and development undertakings of the Academy of Military Sciences." Now the domestic military industry is
It is a painful transition period, because the state requires these military industry companies to be responsible for their own profits and losses. Many military industry companies' research institutes have been forced to close. Of course, the Academy of Military Science will not encounter this dilemma. But the domestic economy has just developed rapidly, and every year
Research funding is indeed somewhat tight.
Dean Peng chuckled and said: "Little guy, just wait for my news with coercion and inducement!"
Dean Peng called the next day. The Academy of Military Science agreed to transfer the source code of Red Star No. 1 for 10 million US dollars. Tang Yi smiled slightly after hearing this. He had expected it, but it was only 1,000 US dollars.
Tang Yi really can’t calculate how much advantage he gained by getting the source code of Red Star for US$10,000.
Based on the new century programming concept, computer experts from the Academy of Military Sciences teamed up to create a graphical operating system! How can it be comparable to windows95? However, Microsoft's windows95 did not officially come out until seven or eight months later. Before WIN95 came out, there were
Enough time to set up a software company and work with IBM
, several of the largest PC manufacturers such as Apple and Compaq have concluded negotiations for new operating systems and P-binding sales locations. Now PC manufacturers such as IBM are very afraid of Microsoft's strong monopoly.
Given a choice, those PC vendors are still not flocking to it? Let alone the business opportunities that the new graphics operating system brings to them.
Although Red Star just took a step ahead, this step will drive other software companies to use the Red Star operating system as the standard when developing software. It is this standard that the giants in the computer and other digital industries compete for, and the winner will monopolize the market.
The loser will have to re-formulate corporate strategies, and the heavy blow it will bring can be imagined. As for this standard battle, if Red Star really wins, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Microsoft, which has been secretly developing Windows 95.
.
And Red Star Software, with the support of strong talents, will continue from generation to generation. Tang Yi even instantly has the development strategy of Mom's business empire in the next 20 to 30 years. If Mom's investment in Nokia is successful, it will be unpredictable.
In the future, Mom’s business empire can definitely develop at a high speed.
Thinking about it, Tang Yi got a little excited. Thinking about the 20s and 30s of the new century, it will be an era of computerization of mobile phones. The most powerful mobile brands and PC software companies will work hand in hand. In the future, the mobile phone and mobile software market will definitely be dominated by Huayi.
The group was enveloped by wings falling from the sky.
Tang Yi drank a few gulps of herbal tea excitedly, picked up his cell phone and dialed Xiao Jinhua's number.
"Son, are you still asleep?" Xiao Jinhua's kind words sounded.
Tang Yi smiled and said: "Mom, I have something to give you. It cannot be mailed. I will go to Seoul in a few days. Let's meet in Seoul!"
"Seoul? It's urgent? Can you transfer it to me from Ruth? I have something to do in the next few days and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. Ruth is in Seoul to carry out the Asian expansion plan of the New York Hotel."
"No, I have to talk to you face to face." Tang Yi's answer was decisive.
Xiao Jinhua giggled: "Silly boy, do you miss your mother? Then I will fly to see you tomorrow."
Tang Yi felt helpless: "I'm going to Beijing to get documents tomorrow."
Xiao Jinhua smiled slightly: "Then I'll be there in the evening."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yi gradually calmed down. He knew that his expectation was only the most ideal situation, but the future was full of difficulties. Let's talk about Microsoft. Who is its helmsman? Red Star Software and Microsoft are fighting? The odds of winning are actually not good.
Not much. Maybe a surprise victory in the early stage can cause some blow to Microsoft, but when Microsoft calms down and re-formulates its strategy, the situation in Red Star Land will definitely be very difficult.
However, Tang Yi never thought that Red Star would monopolize the operating system market like Microsoft. As long as it could get a piece of the pie, it would be enough.
The worst thing is that Red Star failed miserably, and the loss was only tens of millions. Compared with the possible benefits, this little risk is insignificant.
Well, the name Red Star needs to be changed, as it obviously has a red color to it.
Tang Yi was thinking wildly, but fell asleep on the sofa. In the middle of the night, Sister Lan secretly covered him with a blanket. Tang Yi wanted to scold her at that time. Why didn't he wake up and go to the room to sleep? But he saw
After opening his eyes, Sister Lan was so frightened that he took a few steps back and almost fell down. Tang Yi shook his head, threw the blanket to Sister Lan, and went upstairs to sleep.
Sister Lan hurriedly pulled off the blanket covering her head. Looking at Tang Yi's back, she felt angry. No matter how high an official he was, the black-faced god still liked to bully people.
The next day, Tang Yi flew to Beijing early in the morning and rushed back to Anton after getting the source code. Xiao Jinhua arrived at Anton at around seven o'clock in the evening. Tang Yi and his mother had a secret discussion in the study for three hours.
Xiao Jinhua explained his plan to his mother in detail. But Xiao Jinhua smiled and said: "There is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with Microsoft. But don't worry, I will put this piece of gold to good use."
Tang Yi nodded slightly. He knew that in the past few years, my mother had held billions of dollars in her hands. She was no longer the mother she was a few years ago. However, her understanding of the business battlefield was much better than hers. She only provided a big land.
Conception, as for the specific operation, my mother naturally knows it well, so I don’t have to worry about it myself.
Sister Lan and Aunt Li had been waiting for Xiao Jinhua and Tang Yi to have dinner. Xiao Jinhua came downstairs and apologized to them. During the meal, he even praised Sister Lan for her good craftsmanship. Sister Lan felt so beautiful and had a sweet smile on her face.
Tang Yi laughed: "Mom, you can't eat authentic Chinese food, can you? Is this a good job? I'll cook some dishes for you later."
Xiao Jinhua hit Tang Yi on the head with chopsticks: "The older you get, the less humble you are!" Tang Yi was embarrassed, but Sister Lan almost laughed out loud and hurriedly lowered her head to eat, not daring to look at the black-faced expression in embarrassment.
After dinner, Xiao Jinhua went to Bao'er's room to tease Bao'er. Bao'er was cute, beautiful, and had a sweet mouth. Xiao Jinhua coaxed Xiao Jinhua into hugging Bao'er and kissing him nonstop, and even asked Tang Yi to give birth to him quickly.
A good grandson.
In the end, Xiao Jinhua took off the diamond necklace around his neck and tied it around Bao'er's neck. Sister Lan's eyes were so wide open when she looked at it. The dazzling blue diamond had never been seen in TV magazines. Sister Lan's almond-shaped eyes were like silk.
I almost feel like fainting.
Tang Yi frowned: "Mom, Bao'er is still young, why are you wearing a necklace for her?"
Xiao Jinhua stared: "I like Bao'er, what's wrong?"
Tang Yi said helplessly: "You are doting on me. If you wear a necklace at such a young age, you will become vain!"
Xiao Jinhua curled his lips: "What's wrong with a girl being vain? We came from the Tang family's eldest house, so it's not like we can't afford to be vain."
Tang Yi was so angry that he didn't dare to contradict his mother, so he muttered in a low voice: "I don't even know how to give gifts. Look at my little girl, how nice it is to give her a piece of jade, what are you doing!"
Xiao Jinhua glared at Tang Yi and said, "You have a wife and you forget about your mother, right?" Tang Yi was speechless.
However, Bao'er took off the necklace and gave it back 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 laughed: "Does Bao'er like it?"
Bao'er looked at the beautiful diamond and shook his head.
Xiao Jinhua pinched Bao'er's little face and said, "Don't be afraid of him, okay? Grandma will take Bao'er to the United States. From now on, you will go to school in the United States and play with grandma. If Bao'er likes, grandma will buy it for you, okay?"
"
Upon hearing this, Bao'er pouted, broke away from Xiao Jinhua's arms, ran behind Tang Yi, stuck out his little head and said: "Bao'er wants to be with his uncle, so he won't go to the United States. Grandma is not good, she is necrotic."
Already."
Xiao Jinhua chuckled and shook his head gently: "This kid is really good."
Tang Yi sighed: "Mom, if you are really bored, just move in together and let someone take care of the business over there."
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 smiled and ran over to hug Xiao Jinhua and make love. Xiao Jinhua picked up Bao'er, but turned around and glared at Tang
He glanced at her and said, "Mom, I won't eat the food you brought me. I'll stay here for a few days and see if Bao'er will kiss you or me when I leave!"
Tang Yi rubbed his nose helplessly. When he was with him, his mother would always become a big kid.
Xiao Jinhua left Anton the day before Tang Yi was going to Seoul. After enjoying the family happiness for a few days, she was radiant when she left. As expected, Baoer was so coaxed by her grandma that she was inseparable from her and sent her away with red eyes.
, although Xiao Jinhua also felt uncomfortable, he still made a victory gesture to Tang Yi, which made Tang Yi depressed and helpless for a while.
After dinner, Tang Yi just went upstairs when he received a call from his mother, saying that he was waiting for the flight at Beijing Airport. He smiled and said: "Fake it, I forgot that necklace in Bao'er's room. I think I put it in that day."
drawer."
Tang Yi was startled and said, "Then I'll send it to you, and you can leave one day later."
Xiao Jinhua said: "Forget it, I came in a hurry and didn't bring a gift for Bao'er, so just treat it as a gift for her."
Tang Yi was surprised. If he were to give Bao'er a gift, he would naturally not feel bad. But in the eyes of others, Bao'er is just his nanny's daughter. Although he has a relationship with his younger sister, it is really unjustifiable to give such a heavy gift.
, after all, no matter how much my mother doesn’t like luxury, and she lives in the highest society every day, what else can be wrong with the necklace she wears?
Xiao Jinhua seemed to know what Tang Yi was thinking, and said with a smile: "You think that's a necklace worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, right?"
Tang Yi asked curiously: "How much is it worth?"
Xiao Jinhua said: "It's just a few thousand dollars."
Tang Yi burst into laughter and said, "Mom, are you famous on Wall Street for being stingy?"
Xiao Jinhua chuckled: "Who said that? My necklace is a high imitation. Who dares to say it is a fake when it is worn on me? Is there any connoisseur who dares to get close to verify it?"
Tang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Mom, you are a famous brand yourself."
Xiao Jinhua smiled proudly: "Son, you are right."
Tang Yi added: "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 is a jade bracelet, and it is also the only authentic piece of jewelry I have."
Tang Yi sighed softly and was speechless. Sister Xia Lan shouted anxiously.
Tang Yi, who was immersed in sadness, frowned, got up and went downstairs. When he walked to the corner of the stairs, he saw Sister Lan holding the blue necklace at the stairs on the first floor. Her pretty face was frightened, as if she was holding a hot potato.
.
Tang Yi frowned and said, "What are you shouting about? It's for Bao'er. You can keep it first." He didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore and turned around to go upstairs.
Sister Lan stared blankly at the necklace in her hand, her almond-shaped eyes gradually blurring.
