Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 66 COMDEX is coming

“If you love him, send him to Las Vegas, because there is heaven; if you hate him, send him to Las Vegas, because there is hell.”

It’s very appropriate to describe Las Vegas in this kind of old-fashioned sentence. In this city, the grotesque and wealthy moments of gambling and wealth come and go all the time.

The first COMDEX was held in this wonderful city, and the exhibition venue was the MGM Grand Hotel.

Of course, the current building is not the MGM Grand Hotel that opened in the early 1990s. It will later be called Bally’s Las Vegas, the Bally House Hotel in Las Vegas.

The MGM Grand Hotel was built in 1973 by Kirk Cocleon, an American aviation giant, American gambling billionaire, and MGM Group’s largest shareholder, at a cost of more than 100 million U.S. dollars.

When 　　 opened, the MGM Grand Hotel was the largest hotel in the world at the time. It was named after the film “The Grand Hotel” filmed by MGM in 1932.

This luxurious entertainment hotel, 26 floors high, has 2084 rooms, a 1,200-seat screening hall and shopping gallery, etc., with its absolute luxury style, it has attracted the attention of the world.

But in the original time and space, a fire in November 1980 severely damaged the MGM Grand Hotel.

In order to participate in this COMDEX, Zheru has booked many rooms in this three-star hotel. This is also the motivation for Las Vegas to actively attract various exhibitions, because such activities can significantly boost the local economy.

……

Lin Fengjiao, who lives with Hu Yinmeng, is being urged to rub his shoulders, “Your man is a black-hearted boss. He calls me as three employees.”

“Resign if you can’t stand it. A talented woman like you still asks for life by looking at others.” Lin Fengjiao pursed his lips.

“I was sold by a greedy old lady, I regret it.”

Hu Yinmeng directed Lin Fengjiao to squeeze the shoulder on the other side, and continued: “Furthermore, if I just resign like this, it seems that I am really a flower vase in which I am not qualified for the job and become a deserter. For the sake of this lady’s credibility, I have to grit my teeth too.”

“You are really a contradiction.” After making a joke, Lin Fengjiao yawned cutely.

Hu Yinmeng glanced at Lin Fengjiao, who was depressed, “I have been in the U.S. for several days. Haven’t you passed the jet lag?”

“Who said no, that’s weird.” Lin Fengjiao nodded appreciatively.

“It’s a fart.” Hu Yinmeng couldn’t help but burst into a swear word, “Yeye shengge, dandan. The waiter helped Jiao weak, when it was Xincheng Enze. You really can’t see it as a sister. Give you a bamboo pole and climb up. Look at your moisturized so that you are more beautiful than Huajiao, and your pink and tender face can be watered with just a pinch.”

Lin Fengjiao blushed and thumped Hu Yinmeng, “I have a low education, and I don’t understand what you are saying.”

Hu Yinmeng turned around, unexpectedly stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Fengjiao’s chest twice, and said with a smile, “Understand now.”

“Female**.” Lin Fengjiao opened Hu Yinmeng’s hand with a smile and cursed, got up and sat aside.

“Frankly explain, it can tire you like this, you have to toss a few times at night.” Hu Yinmeng asked gossiping.

“What are you so curious about?” Lin Fengjiao rolled his eyes at the other side angrily.

“Well, I guessed from your look, you are somewhat unsatisfactory in meeting Tang Huan’s needs.” Hu Yinmeng pointed at Lin Fengjiao and laughed.

“It’s no wonder that you look at how many elites next to Tang Huan are now surrendering their lives for him. Man, with the expansion of power, the demand in that area will increase accordingly. Right now you have to grit your teeth and survive. During this period of leap in Tang Huan’s career, he will become accustomed to it, and he will be less energetic, and you can relax.”

Lin Fengjiao glanced at Hu Yinmeng, “Listening to what you say, it’s pretty straightforward.”

“Of course.” Hu Yinmeng patted his chest boldly, “Sister is an expert in psychology.”

With a noncommittal snort, Lin Fengjiao lay down heavily and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The scenes from when she met Tang Huan flashed before her eyes, and she couldn’t help feeling a little sad.

Lin Fengjiao never denies that she was fascinated by Tang Huan. With the endorsement of Baodao political and business celebrities towards this man, and the reference of Deng Lijun’s gossip boyfriend, she became the other party’s without any worries. captive.

Originally, Lin Fengjiao only thought that he had found a Ruyi Langjun, but this time when he came to the United States, he discovered that Tang Huan’s power far exceeded her expectations. Such an excellent man suddenly gave her a sense of crisis.

After seeing the few white girls who came to help Zheru Company conduct on-site promotion, Lin Fengjiao’s feelings became stronger.

In particular, the vixen named Madonna simply wrote Tang Huan’s intentions clearly on his face. Although he does not understand the English spoken by the other party, the provocative meaning can be recognized without obstacles. of.

Lin Fengjiao was thinking about what was going on, and Hu Yinmeng, who had habitually walked barefoot on the floor for a few laps, gave her a hand, “Let’s go out again, the buildings here are so imaginative and so fun.” .”

“Okay.” Lin Fengjiao, who was in a mess in his head, also planned to change his mood, and agreed happily.

……

At this time, Tang Huan was accompanied by Sheldon Adelson, watching Zheru’s booth in the exhibition site that is about to usher in COMDEX.

In the original time and space, the first COMDEX only attracted 167 exhibitors and 3,904 attendees, but now with Tang Huan’s advice, the appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Adelson, who will become the King of Sands Gambling in the future, has a spirit of adventure hidden in his bones. After reassessing the project prospects, he boldly increased his investment.

According to Tang Huan’s guidance, Adelson provokes dissension and fanfare among several large IT vendors with many contradictions, and the result has been a miraculous effect. IBM, HP, DEC, etc. have all been sacked, and they connected electricity and Motorola. They were all fooled in.

With the lead of several industry predators and Adelson’s timely reduction of fees, small and medium-sized manufacturers, especially companies from Japan, immediately started a new round of registration. Philips, Europe’s Large companies such as Siemens have also increased their participation accordingly.

At present, the number of exhibitors has exceeded 1,000, and the number of attendees is expected to exceed 10,000. COMDEX suddenly changed from an ugly duckling to a white swan. Before it officially started, it became famous.

In this process, although Adelson was found to have used various tricks to break the ground, he didn’t care.

In order to further increase his popularity, Adelson even advertised in newspapers, as long as you bring the newspaper to COMDEX, hotel accommodation can be discounted, and its gambling can be described as unobstructed.

“Tang, I have left you with the best booth location, please be satisfied.” Adelson raised an eyebrow triumphantly, “COMDEX’s influence will definitely make your company famous.”

Tang Huan, who smiled and watched the employees set up the booth, nodded repeatedly, “I appreciate it. If there is any place I need to support in the future, just say it.”

“Then I will take this promise to my heart.” Adelson laughed contentedly, “You can just go around as you please. I still have things to do, so I can’t accompany you.”

……

Tang Huan left his booth and wandered to other areas. With complicated affairs these days, he just used this free time to relax his brain.

But when he saw the company name and LOGO in front of each booth, Tang Huan subconsciously began various calculations.

In the next few years, who among them will become a competitor and who can be a partner.

For example, Intel, it will become an important hardware supplier, and IBM is the biggest competitor.

When passing by the HP booth, Tang Huan paused for a while.

For Silicon Valley, HP has a special meaning. It was co-founded in 1939 by two graduates of Stanford University, William Hewlett and David Packard. The company name HP is derived from the surnames of the two founders, and the order is by flipping a coin. Way to decide.

In the beginning, HP worked in a garage, and three years later, he built the first building of his own.

In 1961, HP shares were officially listed for trading.

In 1962, HP entered the Forbes 500 list of large companies for the first time, ranking 460th. Since then, the ranking has risen year by year.

In this way, with the **** growth, HP has successfully become the representative of the entrepreneurial myth.

Apple, which has a similar entrepreneurial experience with HP, will be worshipped by everyone for the same reason and become an icon of the times.

HP’s first product was an electronic instrument used to test audio equipment—resistance-capacitance audio oscillators.

After 　　, its business gradually expanded to test and measurement products, as well as electronic medical instruments and analytical instruments.

For example, in 1943, HP entered the field of microwave technology with the opportunity to develop signal generators and radar jammers for the Naval Research Laboratory.

In the Second World War, HP was recognized as a leader in the signal generator industry for its complete series of microwave test products.

HP’s business in the computer field began with the development of calculators.

In 1966, HP designed the first computer product HP2116A.

In 1968, the world’s first desktop scientific calculator HP9100A came out.

In 1972, Hewlett-Packard launched the first personal computing tool of epoch-making significance-the HP-35 handheld scientific calculator, and eliminated the engineering slide rule, and at the same time entered the computer field with the HP3000 computer.

In 1979, this year, the former US Secretary of State Kissinger recommended Hewlett-Packard in a meeting with Deng.

Following the original historical trajectory, in 1985, HP became the first high-tech joint venture directly introduced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In 1980, Hewlett-Packard will launch the personal computer product HP-85 for the first time.

By the mid-1980s, HP successfully developed an inkjet printer Epson fell out of the team because it had been holding the stylus printer business and didn’t want to make progress.

It is no exaggeration to say that HP, like IBM, is a frowning opponent. Although it is not as lonely as the Blue Giant, its net operating income next year will reach 3 billion and the number of employees will reach 57,000.

When the philosopher arrived in 1980, Tang Huan was really not sure what height he would develop.

Furthermore, to some extent, being specifically recommended by Kissinger is enough to show that HP is not simple.

For example, one of the two founders of HP, David Packard, once served as the Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States in 1969 for a term from 1969 to 1971.

And another founder, William Hewlett, is also very interesting.

When Jobs was in ninth grade, in order to make a counter, he called Hewlett directly to ask for a part.

It is said that Hewlett was moved by Jobs’ enterprising spirit, so he offered him a summer job.

Since then, Jobs has always held admiration for Hewlett-Packard, believing that it, Disney and Intel are “handed down companies, not just for making money.”

This evaluation is very intriguing. Tang Huan couldn’t help but shook his head when he thought of this.

At this time, he had already moved back to his company’s booth, just in time to see several artists who had been invited to help promote the rehearsal.

And Madonna among them, after seeing Tang Huan, she winks secretly at him from time to time.
