Gao Xian can be touched to accept the "Jianghu invitation order", which is the "loneliness" in Alfred herhausen's words, which makes him further reflect on his situation.
There is no doubt that Gao Xian not only wants to be re elected president of the Xiangjiang exchange fund authority, but also not only until 1993, but also to 1998, when the Asian financial crisis continues to rage in the "old script". At the same time, the Xiangjiang exchange fund authority will be upgraded to the Xiangjiang monetary authority.
If there is no such ambition, the readers will not agree.
But the question is, in Xiangjiang, where the situation is complex, can people return to their hearts simply by making achievements? It is not impossible for the vast groups benefiting to turn against each other under the provocation of ulterior motives.
Therefore, it is really necessary to strengthen this "Jianghu" influence.
After making up his mind, Gao Xian didn't mind working harder. For example, he temporarily accepted the invitation of "come and play" from little Watson, former CEO of IBM.
In the mid-1950s, little Watson succeeded the CEO of IBM from his father, old Watson. In the next era of mainframe computers, he led the blue giant to the peak. However, because he spared no effort to crack down on his competitors, he attracted the antitrust investigation of the American Ministry of justice, and IBM itself was secretly ready to be split into two parts.
Under great pressure, little Watson did not work in the position of IBM CEO until his death, as his father old Watson did. Instead, he resigned from IBM CEO in 1971 and retired behind the scenes because of a heart attack.
When he was not the CEO of IBM who attracted much attention, Watson Jr. expanded his actual scope of activities. He even accepted the appointment of President Carter, went to Moscow and served as the US ambassador to the Soviet Union until Reagan became the US president in 1981.
However, in the next few years, little Watson did not completely leave the Soviet Union, but had a lot of fun.
Incidentally, in his youth, that is, during the Second World War, little Watson often went to Moscow to engage in business activities, and even learned Russian since then.
From this point of view, it is appropriate for little Watson to serve as the US ambassador to the Soviet Union.
Sir Gao accepted the invitation of little Watson to witness little Watson's luxury extreme game. He personally flew a plane across all time zones within the huge territory of the Soviet Union.
In order to highlight themselves, elites always engage in some image projects. For example, in the "old script", they are keen to climb Mount Everest at a certain time, and then publish books, accept celebrity interviews, and talk about success, so as to shape brands and expand social networking.
However, this luxury game in the elite circle can also be divided into two levels.
Take the climbing of Mount Everest as an example. The next century in the "old script" is already a mature commercial activity. Logistics support is in place, and you can even cheat. Take a helicopter between camps, and make real efforts in the final climbing stage. As long as you hide it, don't be known by outsiders, and plating the gold for successfully climbing Mount Everest.
In contrast, little Watson's luxury extreme sports at this time need to solve too many practical problems.
Money is definitely not worth mentioning. If you care how much you spend, you are not qualified to play.
As the saying goes, you can't do without money, but money is not everything.
Don't forget that this period is still in the cold war stage. The two groups of the Soviet Union and the United States are heavily fortified enemies. Little Watson is an American and a famous American. He wants to fly a plane. He not only has to fly in the Soviet airspace, but also crosses all time zones in the East and west of the Soviet Union. Let alone the problem of more money and less money. The relationship is not so hard that it is impossible.
In fact, little Watson's luxury extreme game was specially approved by the last leader of the Soviet Union who was greatly appreciated by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and American President Reagan. Little Watson can enjoy this exception.
Before the challenge, little Watson even excitedly invited Gao Xian, "Sir Gao, do you want to fly in the blue sky with me?"
Gao Xian certainly won't agree. I'm kidding. How old is little Watson? He's in his seventies. In case of an accident, he won't suffer any loss. Just as the old rich call on the small rich to donate all their assets for charity like himself, it's incomparable.
Of course, sir Gao refused with great skill and without revealing a drop of water, "as a layman, I won't occupy the limited space and affect your record setting grand plan, and I just want to take the opportunity to have a good chat with John."
"You two really should have a good chat." after little Watson laughed loudly, he walked like a tiger and boarded the plane with high morale, and soon soared into the sky.
Gao Xian, along with little Watson's family, IBM executives and Soviet escorts, got on another much more "serious" plane to go to the destination and welcome little Watson's triumphant return.
On the plane, sir Gao and IBM CEO John Akers naturally sat together and had a talk.
John Akers had a correct attitude and laid a very harmonious tone for the conversation between the two. First of all, he thanked goyimi for purchasing Intel shares held by IBM. The price was very interesting and the arrival was quick, which greatly improved the ugly problem of profit data in IBM's financial statements.
It is said that John Akers was unlucky. When it was his turn to take power, the giant blue began to decline irreversibly, which was reflected in the intuitive financial statements, namely the sharp decline in profits.
Take the financial statements for the second quarter of this year, IBM's revenue increased by 12% to $12.3 billion, but its profit decreased by 8% to $1.3 billion.
In this regard, John Akers and even the IBM board of directors were a little flustered and began to find ways to increase revenue, such as selling non important assets that they thought belonged to the periphery, accounting for 20% of Intel's shares.
This business is not easy to do, because Intel is also going downhill at present, and it is not too much to describe it as a matter of life and death. Therefore, it can not be sold at all according to the $625 million on the book. The maximum counter-offer for the capital willing to take over is only $400 million, not to mention the additional requirements such as the time of all cash arrival of IBM.
At this time, when IBM's share price reached its peak a few years ago, Gao Yiyi, who emptied his IBM stock and parted ways with IBM, made a righteous move. He not only gave us $500 million, but also received the account within the same month, which suddenly made IBM's profit statement less ugly, which can be said to solve the urgent problem of burning eyebrows.
As for the additional conditions for the transaction, IBM's support for the platform of Xiangjiang digital expressway is a piece of cake for giant blue, and even good.
John Akers' interpretation of this is that because IBM wants to develop another set of closed personal computer standards, and Sir Gao, who is getting farther and farther away from IBM, intends to make up with IBM because of the construction of Xiangjiang International Digital Center and Xiangjiang digital highway. IBM should take advantage of the situation to re hold the other party with strong financial resources.
Therefore, during the conversation, John Akers invited the first Department of Gaoyi, whether Gaoyi, Gaoyi America or Lehman Brothers, to send representatives to join the IBM board of directors.
Gao Xian doesn't reject this invitation. Now he has plenty of financial resources. He has settled some bottom reading here at IBM. Maybe he can help split IBM and make another profit in a few years.
Besides, we should also give little Watson face. The old man is so old. In order to brush the traffic for IBM, Gao Yi's first Department rejoined the IBM board of directors to enhance the confidence of the outside world in IBM.
