Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 1039: Receiving Polygram's layout of digital music

...

After testifying in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of the District of Columbia and after his cuteness, Tang Huan, in order to clean his ears, directly boarded the Silicon Valley One, flew across the Atlantic Ocean, and came to Paris, France, to watch the final of the 16th FIFA World Cup. Take a moment to relax, and at the same time come to Europe to deal with matters that must be personally presented.

As a result, the richest man had just heard a report on the current situation in Russia, and the assistant cautiously sent a newspaper fax.

Seeing US Vice President Al Gore's wild rhetoric about the United States of America v. Philosopher Software Corporation's monopoly case, Tang Huan's face immediately turned from sunny to dark.

After taking the fax and scanning her eyes, Christina, the queen of ships, cut her disdainfully, "Politicians can turn faces faster than our women!"

Having said that, she teased her man again, "By the way, I remember, didn’t you say before that Al Gore is the American vice president who knows it best? But now, why does he suddenly it to you? Representatives of the field, the relationship suddenly cooled down to the point of becoming an enemy?"

"How would I know that he suddenly had a gasp because of what?" The richest man said irritably, "The representative of the IT field... It is because of this that the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company is like a tarsus. Like maggots, you can't get rid of it!"

The queen of ships no longer teased the richest man, but pointed to the core of the problem and speculated: "As the saying goes, it is not profitable to get early. Then, what advantage should Al Gore do for you, this will not hesitate to tear his face with you."

"I can let the dignified American Vice President ignore it. I am sure that the picture is not small." Tang Huan nodded in agreement. "As early as January this year, there was a rumor that Al Gore might represent the Democratic Party. , Competing for the US presidential election for two thousand years. However, he himself has never made any positive response to this."

"It now appears that Al Gore should start preparations. Otherwise, he will not commit a lot of trouble to brush his presence through the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation Monopoly Case."

Christina curiously hypothesized: "If Al Gore wins the next general election like the American Vice President Boss ten years ago, what will happen to the United States of America v. Philosopher Software Corporation's monopoly case?"

"Of course it's worse." The richest man snorted. "Some of my political consultants have analyzed not long ago that Al Gore's political philosophy is getting closer and closer to populism."

"If he comes to power, he will only cut down the towering tree of Zheru Software Company for the sake of politics and governance."

The ship queen blinked and continued to ask, "How about Al Gore's political and governance background?"

"In all fairness, the current U.S. Vice President has accumulated remarkable achievements in all aspects." Tang Huan smiled bitterly. "Al Gore is trusted by Bill Clinton. He is the most important adviser to the White House and even the No. One wife, Hillary Clinton, is in a competitive relationship."

"From an external point of view, in addition to catching up with the big bull market, the unemployment rate has repeatedly set the lowest record in history. Bill Clinton will leave a considerable amount of government. Governing legacy."

Christina thought for a while and reminded: "I remember, tci, the largest cable TV operator that almost bought Atlantic Bell, also fell into a monopoly dispute because of its dominant cable network. Its controlling shareholder and CEO John Before Malone stepped down, he was severely accused by Al Gore."

Tang Huan pondered: "According to you, Al Gore has tasted the sweetness and experience?"

"So what can it be?" The female ship Wang Yanran smiled: "Although John Malone is recognized as an extremely difficult business man, the longer you get along with the world's richest man, the more you can experience the unpredictability. ."

The richest man smiled as he was complimented, and took the female ship king's hand, "Old couple and wife have been so many years, you still don't know my foundation?"

...

On July 12, 1998, the final of the 16th FIFA World Cup was held in Paris. The host French team played against the Brazilian team of the Samba Army.

Since in the last U.S. Football World Cup, the richest man was able to have a good market after the official operation of the Major League Soccer in his sports industry, so he calmly compared Brazil with the host United States team. The team sacrificed upset so that the U.S. team could play another round. Therefore, in the final of this World Cup, there was no such thing as an unprecedented host and defending champion's gimmick.

One historical record is missing, Tang Huan has nothing to be embarrassed about, because it is so worth it!

In the final stage of the French World Cup football match, many statistics have been basically set.

For example, the total number of spectators in the stadium was nearly 2.8 million, with an average of less than 44,000 per game. In contrast, the last World Cup held in the desert of football in the United States had nearly four spectators. Millions, the average is almost 70,000 per game.

You know, this data was generated gorgeously when there were eight more participating teams in the French World Cup than in the United States.

Thanks to this shareholder enthusiasm, the Major League Soccer market is prosperous. Although it is not as good as Major League Football, Major League Baseball, and nba, it can be said to have gained popularity and wealth.

Besides, anyway, in the final of this football World Cup, there will be similar scenes that are unclear.

It is nothing more than a secret exchange between the countries of the means and the bargaining chips. For example, France has graciously forgiven Brazil's US$300 million debt, which cannot withstand scrutiny, and should be on the way.

Face engineering is everywhere.

In the traditional sense of Western Europe, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy have long embedded the jewel of the World Cup champion in their crowns. Only France has not yet received such a honour.

From the perspective of those in power, if this territory can be filled in, then the richness of political returns is self-evident.

At the French Stadium where the final was held, there were no empty seats; French President Jacques Chirac, Joao Avilanger who retired from the seat of FIFA President this year, and the new FIFA President Sepp Blatt , Tang Huan, the world’s richest man, and other heavyweights, all appeared...

This grand occasion itself has already faintly explained how much France expects to be able to win the Hercules Cup tonight, and may even be ready to cheer.

Of course, any prerequisite for operation must have corresponding strength to base it.

For example, at the next Korea-Japan World Cup football match in the original time and space, amidst a lot of criticism, to get rid of the Italian team and the Spanish team and enter the semi-finals of the South Korean team, first of all it is not the mud that can't support the wall. The number of times someone has reached the World Cup finals shows the problem.

In the final stage of the Football World Cup, the number of participating teams increased from 24 to 32, but the "should come" have not come yet!

Let's talk about the current host French team. Although Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet are still inexperienced rookies, the lack of top strikers to guarantee goals, which leads to the performance of the striker, which is not flattering; but The midfield and defense are very strong. In the six games so far, excluding the penalty shootout against Italy, only two goals have been conceded, and the number of goals conceded is the least among the participating teams.

With such a foundation, when the time comes to say that the French team has long been a champion, it is justified.

When Tang Huan greeted French President Jacques Chirac, he truly said: "I wish the French team a perfect championship tonight!"

Jacques Chirac said with a beaming eyebrow: "Tang, it's too busy now. The day after tomorrow I will arrange a special time to have a detailed meeting with you at the Elysee Palace."

...

After the start of the much-anticipated final, the French team exceeded the expectations of many pre-match analysis experts. It was still the same as the previous games. The attack was on the whole line and the Brazilian team was a little dazed. The two forwards Bebeto and Ronaldo could barely touch the ball, and it was not until the twenty-fourth minute that he made his first threatening goal.

Just when people were still wishful thinking that the Brazil team was in control of the rhythm, in the 27th minute, in the second group match between France and Saudi Arabia, Zida was sent off by a red card for maliciously trampling on the opposing player. Inside, received a corner kick from Pettit, avoided Leonardo's defense, and took the lead with a powerful charge for the French team.

"Pretty!" The richest man who applauded, muttered to himself, "I am here today to watch your wonderful performance, not Ronaldo who mysteriously became a soft-footed shrimp again."

After the French team took a one-to-zero lead, the popularity of France was like a rainbow, and the offensive waves were higher than the waves. Those who were optimistic about the Brazilian team finally realized that the Samba Army was in trouble again.

In the forty-sixth minute, Givals created a corner kick opportunity, Djokaf opened and Zidane headed for the top, adding another point for the French team.

So hearty!

so perfect!

The French Stadium, which accommodated 75,000 people, suddenly boiled!

The female ship king Christina also exclaimed: "The 3.5 million euro transfer fee to Bordeaux Football Club was really worth it!"

Tang Huan laughed, "Look, this game will only be more lively!"

In the 68th minute, Desailly was shown a second yellow card and sent off for a foul with a shovel grabbing Cafu. The French team lost one man on the field.

This sudden change, which seems to be a turning point, did not bring actual benefits to the Brazilian team. The French team on the opposite side still has a strong midfield and defensive line. Apart from relying more and more on personal breakthroughs, nothing has been achieved; In the 90th minute before the end, the French team scored the third goal in a quick counterattack.

In this regard, the Samba Army was defeated, and the Gaul Roosters won!

Watching the French team captain Deschamps raise the Hercules Cup, the richest man who was completely rested by watching this wonderful final can not help but said with emotion: "Strength alone is not omnipotent! U.S. Vice President Al Gore's mouth Guns, although they don’t seem to matter, they must not be ignored if they are to be guarded against infractions!"

...

Tang Huan came to Europe this time, in addition to relaxing his body and mind, he still had a lot of business to do.

Seeing that Zheru Software Company was sued by the Department of Justice and 20 federal states in the United States, and the European Union was also a little bit ready to move, the richest man had to take precautions.

The prime minister of a book is changed too frequently, so the public relations target is below; in the EU, Germany and France are the dominant players, so the lobbying direction must find the upper hand.

During the meeting with French President Jacques Chirac, who was still immersed in the great joy of the successful hosting of the French Football World Cup, Tang Huan took the initiative to bring up the ongoing United States of America v. Philosophy Software Corporation monopoly case.

Jacques Chirac heard the sound of the piano and smiled elegantly: "France should be the largest investment place for Philosopher Software in Europe, right?"

"Not only the biggest, but also the most important!" The richest man nodded, "And this trend will not change."

Jacques Chirac shrugged and asked, "Then what reason do I have for not paying attention to the concerns of Philosopher Software?"

Tang Huan happily complimented: "After waiting for the next century two years later, looking back at the decision of the President, you will definitely find that it is extremely wise and correct!"

...

The next stop of the richest man is naturally another European Union dipper, Germany.

In the process of the reunification of the two Germanys, the current German Chancellor Helmut Kohl~www.wuxiahere.com~, who plays a key role, is busy with the upcoming elections, and the prospects are not very optimistic.

After all, although the results of the reunification of the two Germanys are brilliant, West Germany has since been dragged down by the burden of East Germany. A series of problems have been exposed in these years, and the people naturally have to calculate the account to Helmut Cole. on.

When Tang Huan visited the dignitaries here, he deeply felt the "Mr. Bitch" style's preference for anti-monopoly politics.

Although the richest man was unavoidably disappointed, he was not anxious and panicked. Anyway, no matter how strong Germany is, the EU is not its "one word", and there is still a lot of room for operation.

...

This matter was temporarily put aside, Tang Huan then visited the Philips headquarters, and formally signed a pledge for Yanle Entertainment Group's acquisition of PolyGram.

As the dust settled on this transaction valued at more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, the world's largest music group was born!

The various media who received the news naturally started to be surprised again.

Although PolyGram's performance started to be a bit weak, it was not so bad that it caused Philips to break his wrist and stop the loss.

The main reason is that new changes such as digital music and Internet music have left the traditional recording industry in confusion.

At the same time, Philips has made a major change in its business strategy, that is, focusing on the traditional advantage of hardware products, so it has turned to Polykin, which has an unknown direction, before digital music has a greater impact on the traditional recording industry. , Once sold.

Unlike Philips, which is afraid to open up new battlefields and is conservative in operating digital music, the richest man has already made a plan.

He said enthusiastically at the press conference: "The traditional recording industry must face up to the general trend of digital music. Yanle Entertainment Group will work hard to explore a new direction for the industry that can still guarantee revenue!"
