We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

At the end of January, some media photographed newly appointed IBM President Opel appearing on Hong Kong Island and having dinner with Welch, President of Far East Group, at the Peninsula Hotel.

It can be seen from the photos that the two had a very pleasant conversation and laughed frequently during the period.

Two of the world's most powerful technology companies, well-deserved giants in the industry, cannot simply have a meal to connect with each other.

Moreover, Opel, who has just taken office, is very anxious now, and it is impossible for him to come to Hong Kong Island to have dinner with Welch.

IBM is still strong today, but its revenue and profits are not the same.

Not to mention competitors, IBM's product development direction has deviated in recent years.

At this time, Opel visited the headquarters of the Far East Group. He and Welch looked as if they had met at a late date, and they knew with their toes that the two parties must be seeking some cooperation.

The two most powerful companies in the world are going to cooperate, which is very exciting to think about.

The most straightforward impact is that as soon as the Nasdaq opened, IBM's stock rose by more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of about 5%.

Far East Chip also caught up with this wave of market trends, and its stock price, which had already slowed down, also experienced a small increase.

On the other hand, it also shows that Welch moves really fast.

It only took more than a week from the time Luo Nianzhong and the two agreed to hand over the Far East system to the time the two met to discuss the specific details.

There was a lot of speculation about the two companies, and the two giants did not keep everyone waiting.

Due to the profit concessions from the Far East Group, IBM got a free advantage, so various matters were negotiated very smoothly.

On January 31st, the last day of January, Far East Systems and IBM issued announcements at the same time.

Far East Systems will implement a private placement of IBM after its listing. At that time, IBM will become the largest shareholder of Far East Systems with 21% of the shares, and Far East Group will retreat to the second largest shareholder with 15% of the shares.

The two parties will jointly develop the latest Windows system launched by Far East Systems, which will be used in all products that can be used by both parties.

Windows, Luo Nianzhong didn't even bother to change his name.

From the beginning of the development of the Far East System window system, Luo Nianzhong named it windows.

Since you two little guys are not willing to do it, then I will help you make it.

As soon as the announcement from both parties came out, the world was in an uproar, and the happiest person was Wall Street.

Whether it is the stock issuance underwriting of Far East Systems or IBM, both have Wall Street capital involved.

The support of the two giants can basically declare that Windows dominates the field of personal computer operating systems. Whether it is IBM or the soon-to-be-listed Far East Systems, the stock price is bound to rise sharply.

Welch even asked Luo Nianzhong whether he wanted to change the underwriting issuance price. A sharp increase in the Far East System was inevitable, and there was nothing wrong with raising the price.

However, Luo Nianzhong refused. He wanted to benefit Wall Street, so that Wall Street would be more greedy and willing to cling to the Far East and form a protective film for the Far East.

Just like now, before the financing matter has been settled, some media on Wall Street and beautiful countries have begun to say good things for the Far East Group.

A great company that is willing to share and aims to create convenience for human life.

The biggest concern of the media working together this time is whether the Far East System will be renamed in the future, especially the beautiful Chinese media, who regard this cooperation as an IBM acquisition, quite in the spirit of Asan.

Change your name? It's really hard for Opel to answer this question under the current circumstances, because it means declaring sovereignty.

The two sides had just entered the honeymoon period, and Opel acted like this in front of the media, which really ruined the friendly atmosphere.

Although he also wanted to do this, because it would be regarded by the outside world as one of his greatest achievements in running IBM.

It was difficult for Opel to answer, but Welch had no such trouble.

"That is just a name. Far East Group does not need the Far East system to add glory to the name of Far East, because we are brilliant enough."

The sinking of assets is what Luo Nianzhong has always wanted to do, and now that he has such a good opportunity, he cannot let it go.

Just like the mobile phone of Han and Tang Dynasties, why not call it Far East? Because it is no longer needed.

In this cooperation, on the surface, it seems that IBM has taken a big advantage, and it is even suspected of peach picking. It makes no difference that a high-quality company like Far East Systems is giving it to IBM for free.

In fact, this is not the case. In addition to adding a big brother to take the lead in the charge, the Far East Group also won IBM's CPU and analog chip business. This was also the condition Welch offered to IBM.

There is almost no loss for IBM, but it is a big complement to Far East Chip and TI below.

Ordinary people don't know the inside story, but Wall Street capital has already bought shares of Far East Chip in advance.

The fact that the market value of Far East Chip exceeded HK$3500 billion in a few days is the best proof, which made those investors who sold in advance secretly regret it.

……

"Honey, is this really okay? I'm still a little worried.

If someone discovers us, we will be doomed, after all, in a place with so many people..."

"Don't worry, I deliberately chose a time with few people, and I will pay attention, and I will never be discovered. Don't you think this is exciting?"

"Excitement is stimulation, can't it be done at a time when no one is around?"

The two were having a conversation when a voice from the door interrupted their conversation.

"Brother Zhong, sister, you haven't finished putting on your makeup yet? An Ran is getting anxious."

"It'll be ready soon." Luo Nianzhong responded, put on the hat in his hand and looked in the mirror.

When Luo Anran was watching TV last night, there was a scene of Hong Kong Disneyland and she clamored to go.

Originally, Zhao Yazhi meant to take her there when the garden was closed, but Luo Nianzhong, who was holding Luo Anran, thought of today and decided to take her there during the day.

Today is the day that Microsoft goes public. The whole Hong Kong is paying attention to this matter. Disney’s traffic should drop a lot.

Besides, what fun is there in visiting an empty Disneyland alone? There is an atmosphere when there are many people, right?

You can't be the only one shouting during the parade, right? How boring?

Besides, when do you want to go alone? It's different when there are more people. Microsoft's listing now is a good opportunity.

The wheels of history have deviated, but they coincidentally overlap again.

Bill Gates and Paul rejected Luo Nianzhong, but still developed the system for IBM.

But how can their system compare with that of the Far East? The much-criticized IBMpc system was also abandoned by IBM.

After that, the Far East System's siege caused conflicts between the two, and finally they separated directly not long ago.

After the separation, Bill Gates wanted to start over, so he planned to sell Microsoft.

Just as Welch expressed an open attitude towards the name change, Opel will definitely take action.

But Opel was not satisfied with the many names he chose. He accidentally discovered the name Microsoft that was on sale and he liked it very much.
