Coquettish Rebirth

That's right, buy dec!The acquisition of the world's second largest computer company by a Chinese company will bring a giant that is staggering like IBM under its command!Utilize the powerful technical level of the world's second dec to promote the vigorous development of China's high-tech industry! dec, made in China!How exciting and provocative does that sound?

Maybe the young people in later generations don't know how good this dec company is, but Jia Hongjian knows it!This dec company can be said to be the only computer company in the world that can rival ibm 10 years ago!You must know that more than ten years ago, IBM had just spread the leftover PC personal computer project to the entire industry, which led to a large number of computer companies getting rich. It can even be considered that Microsoft is relying on IBM's fingers The space in the PC market in the head gap is gradually getting bigger!And when ibm dominates the global computer market, the only company that can fight ibm is dec!

Especially in the mid-to-late 80s, when IBM, the blue giant, was in trouble, it began to find that it seemed a wrong decision to spread PCs to other manufacturers.From the perspective of the outside world, when the blue giant IBM starts to falter, that is the biggest opportunity for Dec!The dec company itself was founded in the 50s. If the name is translated into Chinese throughout, it is Digital Equipment Company.

And what amazing thing did this dec company do?They connected the monitor and the computer for the first time. It can be said that they invented the first minicomputer for human interaction!With just such a feat, they can be honored as the ancestors of all brand machine manufacturers in the 90s and even the 21st century!

In the U.S. IBM is the giant in the mainframe market, and they are responsible for the architecture of various large computers and servers.After all, there were few personal computer users in the past, but there were many institutional users, so the rapid development of IBM is simply inevitable.It is very difficult for dec to catch up with ibm in the personal computer market, that is, after 30 years of catching up, as personal computers became popular in the United States in the 80s, dec gradually caught up with ibm.

And dec has caught up with ibm, this is still an opportunity to face the challenge of ibm!We must know that in 81, the US personal computer market had a market share of almost 5 million US dollars, which is compared with later generations.It's outrageously small.But in those days, it was still a passable "dessert".Such a dessert seduced IBM's mind, and IBM thought that anyway, the field of personal computers has been cultivated by Dec for so many years.Already has some scale.as a giant. Of course ibm should go down the mountain to pick peaches!

But at this time dec encountered its own decision-making mistakes, allowing ibm to dominate the personal computer market for a whole year!Next, dec company ushered in a reorganization, and then.They continued the strategy of the late 70s and continued to launch the Vax series of computers. what is vax?Simply put, it is an online system! The pc system developed by ibm is a stand-alone machine without a network. A machine is a machine. Even if these machines are connected with a network cable, there is no suitable communication protocol for communication.However, the computer developed by dec company has a built-in "network card" and a communication protocol developed by dec itself, so that the machines can cooperate with each other.

For example, this vax can make a shared setting similar to "network shared folder", and it can also allow multiple machines to share a printer in the network, and automatically queue up for printing!And these things, the ibm machine can't do it!

As a result, of course, the vax machine was very popular in the business world, and the result was that the PC market was once monopolized by dec, and at this time Jobs was just proposed to Apple. It can be said that dec was in the United States. For a time, the master was lonely. a rival! IBM's profits dropped rapidly due to the impact of dec, and even Wang An Computer Company, the most famous Chinese computer company in the North American market, was also affected by dec.

At this time, with Dec's great strides forward, IBM stepped into a trap set by itself because of greed!In desperation, ibm gave up the pc personal computer market, but the various financial crises that followed further spread within the ibm system. For a time, ibm, the world's largest computer company, was like Aka IBM, an invincible god of war like Lucy, actually started to lose money in an all-round way!

到了1987年，曾经在ibm面前就跟芝麻粒一样大的dec公司，终于成长到了ibm五分之一的市值。这按照2012年的市值来等效计算的话，ibm市值2000亿美元，而这dec就相当于是400亿美元的市值规模！400亿美元的市场规模等于什么？等于英特尔的一半市值左右！然后等于显卡公司nvidia的5倍，等于amd的20倍！等于索尼集团的2倍！甚至等于2012年时期诺基亚的4倍市值！

Such a dec computer that is constantly expanding, compared with the blue giant ibm that is mired in the mud, and other companies such as Wang An Computer that are also mired in the mud, the industry once believed that this dec company is the future ibm, the successor to ibm After that, America's second giant computer company in the category of invincible!You know, this computer company is different from others. It is not an invincible giant that can purchase other people's PUs and produce mainframes by itself!

And such a giant company has now entered a predicament of being acquired by Compaq, but even so, according to Jia Hongjian’s memory, their acquisition transaction amount is still very high——Compaq’s acquisitions in history After purchasing dec, it took nearly 100 billion US dollars to complete the acquisition!The sensation that this kind of acquisition caused in the industry back then can basically be equivalent to the fact that the market value exceeded 06 billion U.S. dollars in 5. As a result, Nokia was frequently rumored to be acquired five years later!

If Huaxia Hi-Tech acquires Dec Computer, what kind of rush is this?That is basically equivalent to a domestic mobile phone company—for example, Xiaomi, and then suddenly announced that it would acquire Nokia’s mobile phone business.The shock that this brought to the world and China was basically the shock that Huaxia Hi-Tech wanted to acquire dec!It's not only that, after all, in this era, China is far inferior to the China of later generations!

That's right, even such an acquisition, needless to say, is a huge gimmick if the acquisition is successful, and even as soon as the acquisition is announced, it is enough to make the whole world pay attention!After thinking of this, Jia Hongjian stubbed out the cigarette in hand, took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth.At that time, Ye Jing was so anxious that she couldn't take it anymore, "How about it, have you figured it out yet?"

"I figured it out," Jia Hongjian nodded, "acquire dec!" "What?" Big eyes! "Dec? The dec in the United States? Hung-chien, where do we have so much money? Their market value is still more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. Even if we go bankrupt, we can't afford it! It's not 100 billion yuan!"

Yes, Ye Jing is right.The current Huaxia Hi-Tech's working capital is indeed only 100 billion, and this 100 billion is still used to prepare for the future wave of layoffs. "We still have Sherlock Holmes. The market value of Holmes is almost 100 billion now? Of course, I don't mean to sell this hen that lays golden eggs. Next, we also have the music pod system. Add these two Together, plus these industries in China, even TV stations, the automobile industry, and even Jianlibao... If you add these things together to find a syndicated loan from banks, if you say that the loan is [-] billion U.S. dollars, can you get it? ?”

When she heard Jia Hongjian's words, Ye Jing was dumbfounded!One must know that Jia Hongjian never took out loans in the past. In the past, he used cash whenever he could. Who would have thought that he would use loans now?Well, although the loan is indeed feasible, will the acquisition of dec be too stressful?You must know that Dec's business is not very good now, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, how much money does Dec need?Can't you say that you won't inject funds after you buy it?The amount of repayment of the loan after the end is absolutely staggering, so will the operating pressure be too great?

Although there were all kinds of doubts in her heart, looking at Jia Hongjian's firm eyes, Ye Jing felt that she might not be able to convince Jia Hongjian, so she came up with an idea - "This matter is so big, we always have to talk to you Let's discuss it with my parents? I can't make it clear on the phone, let's go back to Shanghai? How about going to Shanghai to contact my parents in person?"

In this regard, Jia Hongjian also agreed with Ye Jing's statement.After all, it would cost 100 billion U.S. dollars in one go, and his parents must be crazy.Generally speaking, according to his understanding of his parents, it is impossible for his parents to agree to such a thing on the phone. Hung-chien reluctantly agreed only after he produced a detailed report.

Ever since, the two of them flew all the way back to Shanghai in the last few days of the end of 97.After arriving in Shanghai, Jia Gang and Su Ping drove to pick up Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing in person.As soon as she got in the car, Su Ping couldn't help but asked, "Hung Chien, why did you think of buying that dec company? Our family can't eat this company now? Even if we eat it, it won't be able to digest it well? "

Hearing what Su Ping said, Ye Jing turned her head and wanted to agree, but who knew that at this juncture, she heard Jia Hongjian's answer like this - "Who said it was time to digest the dec?" What?What does he mean by buying it and reselling it?Otherwise, if you keep it for yourself, you will always have to digest it?After all, Dec was poorly managed before!What exactly does Jia Hongjian mean?
