Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 66 COMDEX is Coming
"If you love him, send him to Las Vegas, because it's heaven; if you hate him, send him to Las Vegas, because it's hell."

Well-worn phrases like these are pretty apt to describe Las Vegas, a city where casino eccentricities and fortunes 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 90s. It will later be called Bally's Las Vegas, the Bally House Hotel in Las Vegas.

The MGM Grand Hotel was built in 1 by Kirk Kerkorian, an American aviation tycoon, American gambling billionaire and the largest shareholder of the MGM Group, at a cost of more than 1973 million US dollars.

When it opened, the MGM Grand was the largest hotel in the world at the time, named after the 1932 MGM movie "Grand Hotel."

This luxurious entertainment hotel is 26 floors high, with 2084 rooms, a 1200-seat screening hall and shopping corridors, etc. It has attracted the attention of the whole world with its absolute luxury.

However, 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 Company booked many rooms in this three-star hotel.This is also the driving force 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, treating me like three employees."

"If you can't take it, just resign. A talented woman like you still earns a living by looking at others." Lin Fengjiao pursed her lips and smiled.

"Sold by a money-greedy old lady, I regret it too much."

Hu Yinmeng instructed Lin Fengjiao to pinch the shoulder on the other side, and continued: "Furthermore, if I just resign like this, it seems that I am really a golden vase, incompetent for the job and a deserter. For the sake of this lady's reputation, I have to grit my teeth and persevere."

"You are really contradictory." After Lin Fengjiao made fun of something, he yawned cutely.

Hu Yinmeng glanced at Lin Fengjiao, who looked delicate and carefree, "I've been in the United States for several days, and you haven't come here with jet lag?"

"Who says no, it's so strange." Lin Fengjiao nodded in agreement.

"It's a fart." Hu Yinmeng couldn't help but swear, "Singing every night, cutting down once in a while. The servant helped her delicate and weak, and it was the time of Xin Cheng Enze. You really can't tell when you are a sister, I will give you a bamboo pole and climb up. Look at you, you are so moisturised that you are like a flower, and your pink and tender face can ooze water when you pinch it."

Lin Fengjiao thumped Hu Yinmeng with a blushing face, "I'm low-educated, so I don't understand what you're saying."

Ignoring Hu Yinmeng's teasing, Lin Fengjiao lay down heavily, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

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

Lin Fengjiao never denied that she was fascinated by Tang Huan, coupled with the endorsement of this man's pursuit of this man by the political and business celebrities in Baodao, and the reference of Deng Lijun's rumored boyfriend, she has completely become the other party's love without any hesitation. captive.

Originally, Lin Fengjiao only thought that she had found a good husband, but this time when she came to the United States, she realized that Tang Huan's power was far beyond her expectations. Such an outstanding man immediately made her feel a sense of crisis.

Lin Fengjiao's feeling became stronger after seeing the few white girls who came to help Zheru Company conduct on-site publicity.

Especially that vixen called Madonna, who clearly wrote her intention to seduce Tang Huan on her face. Although she didn't quite understand the English spoken by the other party, the provocative meaning in it could be recognized without hindrance from.

Lin Fengjiao was thinking about something, when Hu Yinmeng, who habitually walked barefoot on the floor a few times, gave her a hand, "Let's go out again, the buildings here are so imaginative, it's very fun .”

"Okay." Lin Fengjiao, who was in a mess in his head, also planned to change his mood, and readily agreed.

……

At this time, Tang Huan was accompanied by Sheldon Adelson, looking at Zheru's booth at the upcoming COMDEX exhibition venue.

In the original time and space, the first COMDEX only attracted 167 exhibitors and 3904 attendees, but now with Tang Huan's advice, the appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Adelson, who will become the Sands gambling king in the future, has a spirit of adventure hidden in his bones. After re-evaluating the prospects of the project, he boldly increased investment.

According to Tang Huan's instructions, Adelson sowed dissension and fanned the flames among several major IT manufacturers that were full of conflicts. They were all lured in.

With the leadership of several industry giants and Adelson's timely reduction of fees, small and medium-sized manufacturers, especially companies from RB, immediately started a new round of registration enthusiastically, and European Philips, Big players like Siemens have stepped up their involvement accordingly.

At present, exhibitors have exceeded [-], and the number of attendees is expected to exceed [-]. COMDEX has changed from an ugly duckling to a white swan in an instant.

During this process, although Adelson was found to have used various tricks to the point that his integrity was shattered, he didn't care.

In order to further increase his popularity, Adelson even advertised in newspapers, as long as he came to COMDEX with newspapers, he could get a discount on hotel accommodation, and his gambling nature could be seen at a glance.

"Don, I have left you the best booth location, please be satisfied." Adelson raised his eyebrows proudly, "COMDEX's influence will definitely make your company famous."

Tang Huan, who watched the employees setting up the booth with a smile, nodded again and again, "I appreciate it, if there is anything that needs my support in the future, just say it."

"Then I'll keep this promise in my heart." Adelson laughed contentedly, "You can go around on your own, I still have things to do, so I can't accompany you."

……

Tang Huan left his booth and wandered towards other areas.There were so many things going on these days, so he took advantage of this free time to relax his brain.

However, when Tang Huan saw the company name and LOGO in front of each booth, he subconsciously started various schemes.

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

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

When passing by the booth of Hewlett-Packard, Tang Huan paused for a moment.

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

Hewlett-Packard started out in a garage and built its first building three years later.

In 1961, HP stock was officially listed for trading.

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

In this way, with the growth like a snowball, Hewlett-Packard has successfully become the representative of the entrepreneurial myth.

Apple, which has a similar entrepreneurial experience as HP, will also be worshiped by everyone for the same reason and become an idol of the era.

Hewlett-Packard's first product was an electronic instrument for testing audio equipment - a resistance-capacitance audio oscillator.

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

For example, in 1943, Hewlett-Packard entered the field of microwave technology by developing a signal generator and radar jammer for the Naval Research Laboratory.

During World War II, Hewlett-Packard was recognized as a leader in the signal generator industry for its complete line 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 HP9100A, the world's first desktop scientific calculator, came out.

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

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

According to the original historical development track, in 1985, HP became the first joint venture high-tech enterprise directly introduced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

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

In the mid-80s, HP successfully developed inkjet printers, and Epson fell behind because it had been holding on to the business of dot matrix printers and did not 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 Big Blue, its net operating income will climb to 30 billion next year, and the number of employees will reach 57000.

In 1980, Tang Huan was really not sure what kind of height Zheru would develop to.

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

For example, David Packard, one of the two founders of Hewlett-Packard, once served as the Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States in 1969, and his term of office was from 1969 to 1971.

And the other founder, William Hewlett, is also very interesting.

When Jobs was in ninth grade, he called Hewlett directly and asked for a part in order to build a frequency counter.

It is said that Hewlett was so impressed by Jobs' aggressiveness that he offered him a summer job.

Since then, Jobs has always admired Hewlett-Packard, thinking that it, Disney, and Intel are "herited companies, not just for making money."

This evaluation is very thought-provoking. Thinking of this, Tang Huan couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

At this time, he had already turned back to his company's booth, just in time to see that several artists who had been invited to help promote were rehearsing.

Among them, Madonna secretly winked at Tang Huan from time to time after seeing Tang Huan.
