Chapter 46 Three fires, the curly-haired man makes another appearance
High-end CEOs often only use simple business warfare methods.
Such as a hammer.
Of course, in the face of figures like Crazy Qiao and Owen Jacobs, Zhao Song would not be able to do the great work of a general manager with a hammer like the chairman of CEFC Trust.
The hammer in his hand is the hammer of money!
No matter how many rounds the auction goes on, Zhao Song will kill several camps in the first round.
He will not underestimate the shamelessness of Americans. The possibility of cooperating with other camps at the auction was something Apple did in the previous life. What is even more shameless is that Nortel agreed!
This is an auction three years earlier than in the previous life. This is because Zhao Song and Tesla's huge investment in wimax exacerbated the pace of Nortel's collapse and completely changed the auction pattern.
The rpx alliance, the fifth camp that was originally the weakest, became one of the strongest with the addition of Tesla. The leaders of the fourth camp also changed from Ericsson and BlackBerry to Microsoft and EMC.
The remaining three camps remain unchanged: Google, Apple, Qualcomm, and Intel.
This will be a war without smoke, a pursuit of human nature, a collision of IQs, and an excellent opportunity for those 'rhythm masters' to show their abilities.
The dramas performed in it are all about open and covert fighting, intrigues, and even love-hate entanglements. Every step of the change may be exciting, exciting, and make people's blood rush.
The above is the acting of TV and novels.
The most real business war is not an undercurrent, but a blatant one!
"If I can't defeat you, I will join you and then destroy you; look at the essence through the phenomenon, and there will be no boats but also people."
On June 3, 2008, Tesla of America announced that Alan Eustace was promoted to the company's North American intern president.
So after the departure of David and Rong Zhao four years ago, the last piece of the puzzle of Tesla’s solar system management team finally arrived.
Allen will also work with Liu Cong from South America, Jiang Fanke Lanqi from Africa and Europe, and Ding Tao from Dahua District, with Zhao Song as the center, to continue to lead the behemoth Tesla to continue sailing.
As a new official, Allen chose Microsoft as his first choice.
On June 4, accompanied by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Allen visited the Microsoft Development Department and spent ten minutes experiencing the new operating system.
That afternoon, in the small town of Redmond, Seattle, witnessed by countless reporters, Allen and Ballmer signed a strategic cooperation agreement. According to the agreement, three months later, Tesla's full range of computer products will be the first to be launched.
Install Windows 7 computer products.
When he heard the news, Zhao Song was fighting with Bill and Nancy about the landlord.
But Crazy Qiao, Owen, and Wen Jing frowned in another place.
It's not over yet!
Allen's second fire was the stock market.
This time the target is Yi Anxin.
For this data storage technology company whose annual revenue is less than a fraction of Tesla, Allen didn't even bother to say hello. Through some extreme operations by Liao Yingzhu, he raised E Anxin in the tumbling stock market, causing an uproar.
!
Bald Bei came forward, Page took a stand, and even Bill, who had just finished fighting the landlord, cursed Zhao Song in public.
EMC's customers have also expressed their uneasiness in various media outlets.
However, Tesla made no statement.
In Zhao Song’s words, Dell can acquire it, so why can’t Tesla!
Amid the commotion, someone finally noticed something unusual in Washington, and then there was silence...
…………
"Tesla's data center is under the supervision of Washington. If possible, they would like all the data storage in the United States to be under their noses!"
Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, it is obvious that Wen Jing has a firm grasp of this skill.
It was the same cafe that was reserved, and she, Crazy Qiao, and Owen got together again.
"What's more, there must be insider trading involved!"
While talking, Wen Jing took out a K-line chart, Yi Anxin's.
Next to the K-line chart, there are also a few scattered transaction data.
"That madwoman's trading was very covert, but I still got a few pieces of data. Pay attention, when Yi Anxin started to get off the market, she started to spend a lot of money on the market, and the spokesperson in Washington came out to express her intention to acquire it.
'Before the evaluation, we started to rush for funds again regardless of losses! "
Crazy Qiao’s expression was solemn: “People in Washington are cooperating with him! Someone inside is profiting from it!”
"That's right!" Old Fox Owen said with a wry smile, "And if this acquisition succeeds, Tesla will have one less competitor in Nortel's auction. If the acquisition fails, EMC will also exhaust the funds to prepare for the auction."
Crazy Qiao nodded, looked at Wen Jing and said, "You should also take out the K-line chart of the other company."
Wen Jing shrugged and took out another chart calmly.
That's a Tesla.
"..."
"Another historical record..." Irving sighed, "all the hot money in the stock market is concentrated there."
"There must be something we overlooked." Crazy Joe muttered to himself.
"Maybe... I know a little bit," Wen Jing took out a few old newspapers, on which she circled all the news about Tesla.
"In March 2005, Tesla officially launched the Simple Storage Service (s3), allowing other websites and developers to store files, photos or videos on Amazon's servers."
"A few months later, the Elastic Compute Cloud (ec2) was publicly tested, allowing developers to run their own programs on Tesla's servers. As soon as the trial was opened, developers poured in quickly, and the first batch of servers were quickly occupied.
Full."
"..."
Owen Jacobs smiled bitterly and shook his head: "At least a year ago, I discovered that the founders of every startup company I met seemed to have told me that they were building their own systems on Tesla servers.
…”
Having said this, Irving turned to look at Crazy Qiao and sighed: "If there are no accidents, once Tesla's share price does not rise as expected, they will definitely disclose the company's profits on the stock market as they did four years ago."
"Another business that exceeds 5% of total revenue?" Crazy Qiao muttered, "A computer company has carved its own way in the IT industry where there are so many strong people?"
Owen: "We have to do something!"
After saying that, he and Wen Jing looked at Crazy Qiao.
"Watch what I do?"
Crazy Qiao asked with a frown.
"Alan Eustace announced in his latest public appearance that the company will hold a press conference on June 12. He promised all Tesla fans that Zhao Song, who has been around for a long time, will be invited to the scene to host the event in person.
A press conference!"
Wen Jing said calmly: "If there are no accidents, the product released will be that mobile phone!"
Crazy Qiao lowered his head, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth: "I still need time. In addition to Apple's patent dispute with Tesla, four years ago, that kid poached a lot of people when I just returned to the company to deal with the chaos.
Talented staff...
So, I still need time! "
"We have no time," Owen said, "Liao is collecting money in the market to provide more funds for Zhao. If we can't stop them, then find a way to find more people to join forces!"
"Not enough!" Wen Jing looked away from Zhao Song's face in the newspaper, shook her head and said: "Think about the launch of the new tpod. It will take a full fifteen days from the 12th to the 27th of the auction, which is enough for Tesla to get it.
All the alliance’s funds were instantly wiped out.”
Now that the stock market is collapsing, the alliance can indeed play a role in pooling funds, but how effective can it be in the face of Tesla's new product launches?
Don’t forget, that’s a product that the best product manager in the world spent four years brewing.
…………
"Boom~"
Arriving at Tesla Park, the curly-haired Irishman parked his beloved Honda Prince at the designated spot.
An experience four years ago allowed him to buy his favorite digital products and achieve half of his financial freedom. The other half was the appreciation of the Tesla stock he had been holding.
Today, he is a senior fan of Tesla and also a personal fan of the world's richest man.
The flower grower is different from the American entrepreneur. When fighting, he is arrogant and domineering and refuses to give in. But at ordinary times, he is restrained and low-key, and there is no gossip about him.
Tesla will not render its founders as heroes full of personal heroism like Apple, Google, and Amazon, but will respect every contributor and creator.
Just like this new product launch, Tesla promoted it like this:
When the best product managers in the world issue a requirement, it's a group of people trying to get it done.
They are all ambitious young people in their 20s and 30s who are keen on trying new technologies.
