Chapter 71: How Much Is the Net Worth Now?

COMDEX became an instant hit, and its influence naturally skyrocketed, and various related reports continued to pay attention to it for a long time, and one of the results was that the fame of Zheru and Tang Huan, who were very popular, spread accordingly.

One of the proofs is that before boarding the flight to Xiangjiang, Tang Huan easily bought a professional magazine that analyzed the development of the personal computer industry in detail this year, which introduced Tang Huan, Jobs and Gates. The entrepreneurial experience of the young people appraised Tang Huan as "the grassroots of personal computer - Apple Computer, the biggest driving force behind the ability to perform commercial computer functions".

Moreover, through seemingly detailed data calculations, the magazine came to a conclusion: the total value of Zheru's series of products on the Apple computer platform has exceeded the Apple computer itself.

Now Apple's flagship product - Apple's second-generation machine, the model is AppleIIPlus, the date of listing is 1978, and the price is 1,200 US dollars.

Zheru's product quotation is: CGird and WordEasy single copy is 100 US dollars each, the display function enhancement expansion card is 500 US dollars, the printing function enhancement expansion card and the printer are a total of 2000 US dollars, and the latest killer application EBase is 500 US dollars.

Because MA is a professional software development tool, it is not included in the statistics.

As for the Fangyuan computer, since it is not sold in the United States, it was directly ignored, and the Xiaobawang game console, which is priced at US$200, belongs to another product category and is not considered.

The selling price of this series of products is 3,200 US dollars, plus the 1,200 US dollars of Apple Computer, so that customers can have a complete and practical package of information-based office solutions within a budget of 5,000 US dollars.

And in this complete industrial chain, it is obvious who is dominant and who is inferior.

Putting down the magazine, Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, the media can't get rid of the nature of exaggeration.

According to this statistical result, Zheru earns more than Apple, but in fact, Zheru's sales are only about two-thirds of Apple's sales.

There are many reasons for this. For example, EBase has just been launched and has not had time to produce obvious benefits, so it is illogically counted.

Of course, it can be foreseen that with the promotion of the market, coupled with the financial and inventory system developed based on EBase, it will definitely become the most important source of income.

For another example, each customer may buy several Apple computers at the same time, and the number of software copies will increase correspondingly, but they often only purchase a printing system, and this also includes an agency price of US$800 for each Epson printer.

Back then, the $2,000 printing system made Jobs unhappy, and Tang Huan had to open a small factory in Silicon Valley to independently produce hardware such as expansion cards. It can be seen that this income was not so smooth. in hand.

To be honest, Tang Huan is very satisfied with the current sales performance.

What's more, compared to the painstaking competition on the CP/M platform where you have to compete naked for a little income, the Apple computer platform has always been a comfortable monopoly.

Compared with two-thirds of the sales ratio, Tang Huan exchanged 20% of Zheru shares for 7% of Apple's shares, which seems to be a bit of a disadvantage, but the value of the shares that can be listed is not ordinary shares. compared to.

And don't forget, precisely because of the cross-shareholding relationship,

The two sides can cooperate so seamlessly.

In addition, based on the communication brought about by this relationship, Zheru gained a lot of experience from Apple, and even the employees of the two companies often communicated in private. Many people who couldn't stand Jobs' temper simply jumped over here.

Regardless of tangible wealth or intangible gains, this deal is extremely cost-effective.

Currently, besides 7% of Apple's shares, Tang Huan's wealth includes 35% of Zheru's shares, 30% of Volkswagen's shares, and 50% of Singapore's joint venture factory. Five shares, and 100% ownership of Baodao Factory, Baodao Subsidiary, Singapore Subsidiary, Japanese Subsidiary, and Xiangjiang Subsidiary.

In addition, all proceeds from Fangyuan Computer and Xiaobawang Game Console should be included.

The advantage that Apple got from Tang Huan was actually only 20% of Zheru's software products.

Calculated in such a detailed way, Tang Huan really put a lot of dishes on his plate.

As for Zheru's remaining 65% shares, aunts Tang Yun and Deng Lijun each hold 10%, Wang Xuehong, Wang Xueling, and Jian Mingren each hold 5%, and Apple holds 20%. Ten percent of the total is reserved for executives such as Simeone, Chambers, and Shi Chongtang to share.

It can be said that while Tang Huan made a fortune, he also balanced the interests of himself and his relatives, friends, and collaborators.

These news reports can only use superficial data to produce an eye-catching result that seems reasonable and well-founded, so as to achieve the purpose of getting readers to buy it, but how do they know that there is a complicated relationship between gains and losses under the surface.

Hu Yinmeng glanced at Tang Huan who was thinking with his eyes closed, and then looked at the photo of Tang Huan in the magazine in high spirits. He couldn't help but come to a conclusion in his heart that the boss was savoring his own success narcissistically.

Thinking of this, Hu Yinmeng secretly wrote a paragraph in his notebook.

Ever since being forced by Tang Huan to write the novel "Shanghai Beach", Hu Yinmeng has gradually discovered that she does have a talent for writing, so she plans to record her inexplicable workplace experience, especially Tang Huan, who is black-hearted. The story of the boss, when my aunt had had enough and said Goodbye that day, she published a book to expose his various ugly faces.

Naturally, Tang Huan didn't know that his female secretary was dreaming of being a literary hero. He looked at the cloud scene outside the plane and began to think about the layout of Xiangjiang.

In Tang Huan's view, when Japanese high-tech companies are thinking of ways to squeeze their heads into the US market, they just let their products fully occupy the Asian market by virtue of their technological and cost advantages.

For example, Xiangjiang, a special place with the economic status of the four Asian tigers, naturally has the material basis for computerized office.

Moreover, apart from Japan, there are almost no market competitors in these regions. Once the demand is successfully stimulated, it means a lot of money.

This kind of water testing has already been started by Xiangjiang's subsidiary, and it has been quite fruitful.

Although Tang Huan has always regarded Xiangjiang as a transit point in his itinerary, because there are more reliable network resources here, such as the manpower arranged by Mr. Zhuang Yinuo and his aunt Han Anlin, the establishment of the company is much easier than other places. It's easy.

So this time when Tang Huan came to Xiangjiang, he could only describe it as sitting back and enjoying the benefits. He only needed to go directly to his office in the Kowloon business district and pick up the documents on the table to read.

With the experience of his previous life, Tang Huan naturally knows the many benefits of mastering the media, not to mention the COMDEX not long ago has benefited him a lot.

For this reason, Tang Huan has been thinking for a long time about Xiangjiang, a special place where Chinese culture was exported in the 1980s.

At present, in the field of wireless TV with a huge audience in Xiangjiang, there are two strong opponents, TVB and Li TV,

According to the historical development, the former will undergo major changes in the power structure. The first chairman of the board of directors, Li Xiaohe, and the first general manager, Yu Jingwei, passed away in 1980, and another major shareholder, Run Run Shaw, will immediately focus on his career. Transfer over and take the opportunity to monopolize power.

Run Run Shaw was the initial shareholder, and he planned to take over early, and TVB hadn't been listed yet, so he didn't have the right opportunity to intervene in this change process.

Li TV, on the other hand, experienced three major equity changes throughout the 1980s.

In 1982, Qiu Degen obtained the equity held by the Australian consortium and successfully took over, and changed its name to "Asian Television" in the same year.

There is no doubt that this goal has plenty of time to plan, and it only needs to wait until 1981, when the first equity change occurs.

Because the British parent company of Lai TV failed to invest in a laundry factory in Canada at that time, it decided to shrink its business in East Asia and sold Lai TV to an Australian consortium.

Thinking of this, Tang Huan opened his eyes, and said to Hu Yinmeng: "When you arrive in Xiangjiang, you should take the time to see how the novel "Shanghai Beach" is going."

Hu Yinmeng quickly closed the notebook, and said "Okay" crisply, she was used to the non-stop working rhythm.

...

When Tang Huan arrived in Xiangjiang this time, someone came to pick him up from the plane. His aunt Han Anlin specially arranged for him to help him with some chores, and the other was to ensure his safety. He was equipped with both civil and military skills.

Of course, Tang Huan accepted this kindness unconditionally.

From a long distance, Tang Huan saw a man with glasses who was always in his forties with a wooden face, and a red-faced man with a wheel about his own age. He was very familiar with them. The former was named Zhou Mi. The latter is called Lu Xiaohu.

Seeing Tang Huan, a faint smile appeared on Zhou Mi's cold face, and he raised his hand as a gesture.

Tang Huan stepped forward quickly, and hugged the two of them separately, his excitement was beyond words, "I haven't seen each other for several years, I really miss me."

Lu Xiaohu, who was smiling foolishly, glanced at the slim Hu Yinmeng behind him, and asked Tang Huan in a low voice, "How much is your net worth now? I stayed in Xiangjiang these days, eating and drinking your food. It was very nourishing, but it never Want to understand this question, but dare not ask Lao Zhou."

Tang Huan, who got into the car, laughed loudly, "Then don't think about it, just eat and drink hard."

Lu Xiaohu scratched his head and smiled, then sat in the driver's seat and asked, "Where should we go first, the company or the villa? By the way, the villa is quite impressive."

Hu Yinmeng interrupted suddenly: "Send me to the newspaper office first."

Tang Huan nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there first, and then we'll go to the company."

"Decree." Lu Xiaohu started the car with a smile.
