Back To 1995: Chapter 28 rookie
Chapter 28 Rookie
Suddenly heard that Wang An Company wanted to send someone to double-click the company, Song Yang felt a little confused.
For the technology industry, Wang An and the company he established are absolutely impressive, able to compete with IBM, and even suppress the existence of the other party.
Wang An Company has enough legends to appear, but what can be remembered is often a tragedy. The final ending of Wang An Company is a tragedy, rising suddenly like a comet, but falling like a meteor.
Song Yang heard the rumors about Wang An Company in his previous life, and when the media reported it, most of them were that Wang An was self-willed in his later years, unwilling to let Wang An Company localize in America, and there were major errors in the judgment of personal computers.
Of course, what is regretted by countless people is that Wang An insisted on making Wang An Company a family company and handing Wang An Company over to the Wang family instead of professional managers. This led to the final bankruptcy of Wang An Company and made Wang An I The famous name has disappeared, and this incident seems to have become a proof that the family business is not sustainable!
But all of a sudden, he heard the name of Wang An Company again. How could he not make Song Yang suspect that Wang An had filed for bankruptcy a few years ago, and it was rumored all over the world at that time.
"Wang An Computer Company established by Wang An?" Song Yang asked Irene uncertainly.
Irene nodded affirmatively, but her face was also full of surprise. After all, she was at the Houston Business School and had studied the classic MBA case of Wang An Company, which had always been regarded as a typical failure, but now Wang An Company has It suddenly appeared again, which also surprised Irene.
"Now Wang An Computer has been renamed Wang Anqiu, and the president is Jotus. Now Wang An's global employees have exceeded 20,000, and the annual revenue has exceeded 3.5 billion dollars..."
Irene talked to Song Yang about the collected information, let alone Song Yang who was stunned, even Irene was a little at a loss. This Wang An company is completely different from the bankrupt Wang An that the media reported in my impression. The difference completely overturned Irene's imagination.
Song Yang grabbed the information in Irene's hand, even if it was only collected temporarily, it was shocking enough.
It took more than half an hour for Song Yang to read through the thin pages of information, but he couldn't calm down. The media's reports are all selective, or only report the news that he wants to report, and what happens next , but they are unwilling to report, or they don’t care.
Thinking about it, I know that Wang An’s company collapsed so fast that countless people are sighing. Wang An shouldn’t have handed over the company to his son. As a result, decades of painstaking efforts were ruined, but what happened after that? ?
After Wang An's company filed for bankruptcy, where did the Wang family go? Is the Wang family who succeeded Wang An really so miserable? The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the broken boat still has three catties of iron. The Wang family on the list of the top ten richest people in Liga, even if they went bankrupt, the Wang family still controlled amazing wealth, but they disappeared completely.
None of these media reported anything, they only reported that the company under Wang An's management collapsed suddenly because of the bad habits of the family system, but after only three years of bankruptcy, Wang An's company stood up again in another way, However, it did not return to the public eye, and there was no media report, which made Song Yang's impression of Wang An's company still remain before bankruptcy.
"Jotus?!"
Song Yang looked at the profile of the current president of Wang An Company, Jotus, and couldn't help sighing, this is a real genius.
Qiao Tusi was ordered to be in crisis, and once he took over the position of president of Wang An Company, he found that Wang An Company couldn't continue to play. In order to protect the remaining capital of Wang An Company, Qiao Tusi directly filed for bankruptcy , and then began to rebuild Wang An in the ruins.
Now Wang An has long stopped selling computers, but has transformed into a network technology service company based on the computer word processing and email automation technologies left over from Wang An’s computer era, mainly selling software and providing technical services. Life is prosperous, with an annual revenue of 3.5 billion US dollars. Even if it has not reached the peak period of Wang An Computer, it is amazing enough, but it is much more low-key than before.
"Contact Wang An Company for me!" Song Yang is now a little more interested in Wang An Company, and wants to know what this company, which once shined in the global technology industry, wants to do.
Wang An’s company quickly responded, and they were obviously very active in cooperating with Double-click Company this time.
Song Yang originally thought that this time Wang An Company would send an executive to talk to Double-Click Company, but what he didn't expect was that Jotus actually rushed to Houston in person, which made Song Yang choked up. Surprised.
Jotus did not meet Song Yang in the office building, but chose a private baseball field.
Song Yang, Gallo, Greg, and Irene drove to the rich area of Houston. Compared with the middle-class community where Greg lives, the rich area is basically single-family villas with gardens and swimming pools. There are also several estates of impressive size.
Of course, the rich area naturally has the unique community resources of the rich area, such as bars, high-end restaurants, museums, theaters, hospital health centers, golf courses, etc., and one of the best private schools in Houston, and the most important point, here Safe enough!
The entire rich area is almost a city of its own, and you can enjoy the best resources in Houston and even America without leaving the community.
Gallo, who was driving the car, saw the community in the rich area, and his lips began to tremble again, "Song, if you didn't reject the 20 million, we would still be living here today!"
Gallo, who was talking nonstop, made Song Yang's forehead ache a little. This guy Gallo has babbled for countless times, "Shut up, I'll let you live here sooner or later, now drive your car!"
Mumbling a few words in a low voice, seeing Song Yang who looked a little unhappy, Gallo still drove the car honestly.
The car came all the way to a private gymnasium. There are many large buildings here, golf courses, horse farms and other high-end sports venues are all available. Only in the rich area can a stadium of this size be provided. Chotus chose that A baseball field is also in this stadium.
After entering the stadium, Song Yang and the others were taken to a baseball field. At the moment, on the baseball field, several stadium staff were practicing with them. A middle-aged man was waving a baseball bat. There were several people in suits and leather shoes standing around the field. The people from An Company are also looking at Song Yang at this moment.
The middle-aged man on the court found Song Yang and the others present, and waved to Song Yang. Song Yang said to Greg and Irene, "Stay here and wait for me!"
"I heard that you are from the baseball team?" As soon as we met, Jotus asked about Song Yang's baseball team with great interest.
Song Yang looked at Qiao Tusi in front of him. He was tall and looked a little serious. His words were flat but his expression showed confidence. Indeed, if he was not confident, how dare he take over the messy Wang An Company.
"Pitcher, the best pitcher in the entire Houston high school!" Song Yang said directly, since he quit the baseball team anyway, no one can refute whether he is the strongest.
Jotus couldn't help laughing, took the equipment from the stadium staff and threw it to Song Yang, "Play a few **** with me!"
Song Yang twisted his neck, put on the training clothes, and started to confront Jotus. Jotus was already middle-aged, and Song Yang thought that he would be easy to take down, but when they actually fought, Song Yang felt a little Uncomfortable, although Jotus is not very flexible, but he is powerful and obviously rich in experience, Song Yang feels that he has encountered a tough problem.
After playing a few rounds, Song Yang was already sweating, and Jotus was not much better, but Song Yang finally relied on his youth and managed to score more than Jotus.
"Have you ever practiced baseball?" Song Yang couldn't help asking Jotus after taking off his protective gear.
Jotus, who hadn't been so happy for a long time, smiled when he heard Song Yang's words, "I once entered the training camp of the New York Yankees baseball team and received an invitation from the American Major League Baseball!"
Song Yang's face turned dark when he heard this, and he couldn't help cursing inwardly that Jotus was not a good bird, he pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, played semi-professional baseball, and even ran over to attack him, a young man. Do not talk about martial arts.
Jotus took off his gloves, sat down with Song Yang under the parasol, pushed a glass of wine in front of Song Yang, and then looked at Song Yang suspiciously, "Song, can you be allowed now?" Have a drink?"
Listening to Jotus making fun of his age, Song Yang knew that this guy was a black-bellied person.
Seeing Song Yang's gloomy expression, Jotus laughed again, and pushed the wine glass in front of Song Yang, "Song, you are curious, why am I here?"
Outside the stadium, Gallo, Grek, and Irene were all looking at the two sitting under the parasol. Seeing Jotus laughing from time to time, it seemed that the two had a good conversation.
Song Yang did not deny it, nodded and said, "I was really surprised to hear the call from Wang An Company!"
Jotus also sighed, no matter who mentions Wang An Company, it is probably a sigh.
"Wang An Company has changed now, and all hardware industries have withdrawn."
"Song, you also play baseball, do you know how to rebuild a baseball team?!" Perhaps because of playing baseball together, Jotus, who has always been taciturn, rarely talks a lot when facing Song Yang.
Jotus was suddenly dragged into the baseball, Song Yang didn't react for a while.
Seeing Song Yang's expression, Jotus passed on his experience to Song Yang, "When you are airborne to a team, become the owner of a team, and want to rebuild a team, the best way is to buy "Rookie players", so that since they can make up for the team's weaknesses, there is still room for appreciation!"
"So, the Double-Click Company is the "rookie"?" Song Yang was thoughtful, and Jotus brought Song Yang to another field. He is no longer a "player" but a "team owner". The team is very weak, but in the eyes of Telephone and Telegraph Group, Jim of Netscape, Jotus and others, Song Yang is a "rookie" in the industry.
Jotus snapped his fingers and asked Song Yang, "So, is Double-Click Company willing to join Wang An Company's team?!"
Keep asking...
