Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"With an investment of 44 million and an income of less than 3.5 million, this gap is really frightening." Hawkins commented on the latest summary of "Heaven's Gate", with a look of worry on his face.

"Afraid? Don't dare to buy it?" Tang Huan smiled slightly, "In my opinion, the main responsibility of Lianmei’s crisis lies with Andy Albert. He is too superstitious about Michael Cimino in "Deer Hunter". The achievements in this movie have been achieved, and Michael Cimino also lived up to this trust, like a conceited hacker, adding new features to the programs he developed without restraint. "The Gates of Heaven." "The first edited version lasted 5 hours and 25 minutes. Even if it was compressed to more than 3 hours in the end, the impetuous audience was not interested in watching it at all."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan extended the topic, "Current video game development can be said to be still in the workshop stage. With the gradual strength of the hardware platform, the scale of work will increase accordingly, and then we will meet Hollywood. The risk of this kind of large-scale production is a problem."

"I should really think about this situation in advance." Hawkins nodded his head and taught him, "Since Andy Albert is so dereliction of duty, after we successfully acquire Lianmei, shall he continue to serve as agreed?"

"It's better to keep the promise, at least to see his follow-up performance. After all, Hollywood is very deep. We laymen need consultants and abide by other people's rules of the game." Tang Huan slightly nodded, he said to Sony in the original time and space. The initial embarrassment after the acquisition of Columbia and Panasonic's acquisition of Universal is a lingering fear.

"What's more, what Andy Albert thought at the beginning. There is a certain truth." Tang Huan picked up the information on the table and shook it. "Deer Hunter has a budget of 15 million. It has a box office of 49 million and continues to receive positive reviews. It won 5 awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Editing and Best Mixing of the year. To describe it with fame and fortune. But this time, he obviously didn't control the creative ambition of this guy like Michael Cimino."

Tang Huan shook his head with regret, and said, "I believe that the lessons learned this time. Hollywood studios and investors will further restrict the director's control of the film so that he can occupy himself in the entire shooting process. Complete dominance, we just have to learn something, no one will criticize us laypersons for the operation of Hollywood companies, so that we can reduce the business risk to a certain extent, at least it will not happen like "Heaven's Gate" It's a tragedy of no return."

"As long as it doesn't become a burden." Hawkins, who was suddenly cheerful, smiled lightly.

"If it becomes a burden, then we would be too incompetent." Tang Huan showed an intriguing expression on his face, "Did you forget. The "007" series of films belong to Lianmei, and the value of its video game adaptations should not be underestimated. "

"Really so." Hawkins, who suddenly realized it, lifted his spirits. "Then shall we take the initiative to contact Pan Am, or wait for them to find the door by themselves?"

"You can't act too eagerly." Tang Huan groaned for a while, "Just keep paying attention during this period of time."

In the next time, the two turned to talk about the current situation of the game industry in Japan. In the end, it didn't take long for Woz, who had just obtained the pilot's license for the plane, came excitedly, planning to take Tang Huan to visit his high-end toy that he had just acquired.

Now Woz, with the economic strength of a billionaire, has become more arbitrary and free in his work. In fact, he has germinated the idea of ​​quitting Apple, but he has never found a suitable excuse.

The reason for this is mainly because Apple's interpersonal relationships and working environment make Woz bored.

He and Jobs are indeed friends who have known each other for many years, but they are obviously close together, and there is a big gap between them.

This knot had already occurred in 1975. Jobs, who was still working at Atari at the time, told Woz that his boss Bushnell proposed an item to design a single-player version of "Bumpy Pinball Table" within four days. "The challenge of the game.

At that time, there was no record showing that a game could be completed in such a short period of time, but Woz liked to challenge such technical limits, so he took this task and worked with Jobs for four days and four nights. Finally, With 45 chips, the game called "Brick Breaking" was completed.

In terms of remuneration, Jobs said to Woz like this, the remuneration for the entire work is 700 dollars, and he splits half of it to Woz.

However, in fact, Atari company calculated the remuneration on the condition of "how many chips can be used less", and Jobs took away about several thousand dollars in private.

There is no impermeable wall, not to mention that everyone lives in a circle. A year later, Woz learned the truth about this. He was naturally very sad and even cried.

The second major knot was that when Apple was founded, Jobs asked Woz to put the Apple computer he designed as the company’s property to operate. This caused Woz’s father’s dissatisfaction that the shares were unfair and almost The gang broke up, but fortunately, it didn't stop at the end.

It doesn't matter who is right and who isn't right here. It is obvious that at the beginning of a business, marketing and technology are indispensable, and no one can do without.

Without Jobs' perseverance, Woz's Apple computer might end up in the end, but it was a toy for hackers to prove their superb technical level, and it was in the pile of countless similar design samples in the initial wave of personal computer development.

The crisis in the early days of Apple's founding passed in this way, but it is clear that the relationship between the founders can no longer be such a pure friendship.

When Markkula pulled Scott from National Semiconductor to manage the company, Woz, who was as bold as Jobs, was also strictly controlled.

Woz once privately brought his famous "blue box" for free stolen long-distance calls into Apple as a project and asked a friend to do research.

Until now. The long-distance telephone business in the United States is still under the monopoly of at&t. The cost of a call from San Francisco to New York is $1.35 per minute.

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of retaliatory action will be launched once at&t learns about such huge economic benefits.

So after Scott learned of the situation, he went into a rage. And Woz did not have a duck like Jobs's boiled---mouthed hard, he admitted his mistakes obediently, but he would definitely be upset that he couldn't use his talents unrestrainedly to play pranks.

All of the above, plus before and after Apple's listing. Those old employees who followed from the garage did not get the share they deserved, which made Woz tired of the current Apple.

As a result, Woz is now a little contemplative of being an **** hermit, and basically no longer cares about company affairs. Anyway, he doesn't need money, and he has capital for all kinds of business.

Tang Huan and Markkula bought a business jet, while Woz chose a well-known model from Beech Aircraft Company-"" or "Rich", a piston engine aircraft that can make Woz Enjoy the joy of self-driving.

Tang Huan is not very disappointed. At the same time, he wanted to change his mind, so he drove to the Scotts Valley not far away with Woz. Woz's high-end toys are parked here in the Sky Garden Airport.

"Tang, let's go and feel the feeling of flying freely." The fully equipped Woz urged Tang Huan to take his private plane together.

In the original time and space, Woz had a crash at the beginning of next year, causing him to lose his memory for a while.

In view of this, how can Tang Huan dare to believe Woz's driving skills, his head shook like a rattle, waved his hand repeatedly, and politely declined, "I can't take this small plane, and I will have symptoms of discomfort."

The honest Woz believed it was true, and shook his head regretfully, "Then you can admire my skills on the ground."

"You must drive according to the operating regulations, safety first." Tang Huan kindly exhorted.

As a friend, he can only do this. After all, the crash is an accident.

Just like the Gulong who was specifically called to Xiangjiang some time ago, still following the historical trajectory, ran back to the treasure island and went to the Yinsong Pavilion incident, which is simply incomprehensible.

Unless the matter is opened up, even if people are locked up for a period of time, they may not escape the catastrophe.

It is impossible for Tang Huan to reveal the old ways of the former approach, and the latter approach is also infeasible.

Moreover, Woz, who has always regarded himself as a hacker in computer technology, enjoys a high-end product that integrates technology into one. The feeling of flying in the sky like a bird in the air is really wonderful. Words make people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

Fortunately, this flight was safe and sound. After the addicted Woz, he returned to the ground contentedly, hugged the one who was flying with him with a red face, and turned around in excitement.

Woz met his first wife while working at Hewlett-Packard, but the marriage ended peacefully recently and Alice got a big house.

The Canty in front of him is an employee of Apple, and Woz has just found the second spring.

The new girlfriend is beside him. No wonder the hormones are over secreted, and he has taken his billionaire as an audience. Tang Huan, who is knowledgeable and interesting, clapped and laughed in concert.

After Woz finished showing the majesty of a man in front of Kandy and everyone sat down and started to rest, Tang Huan asked casually, "Stephen, what's new in Apple's work recently?"

"It's the same, it's not challenging." When it comes to work, Woz is obviously listless.

Tang Huan smiled slightly. Hackers like Woz need the fun of invention, and Apple, which is fighting each other internally, cannot provide this opportunity.

"I want to use the combination of computer technology and wireless communication to develop an item code recognition system recently. If you are interested in playing it, it is very interesting." Tang Huan issued an invitation.

On the one hand, he really has this need, and on the other hand, he also wants to use this method to divert Woz's attention, so as not to always worry about flying the private plane himself. This man's driving skills seem to be a little frizzy.

Sure enough, this move aroused Woz's interest, and he nodded willingly.

Seeing to help Woz pick up girls and finish the scene. Tang Huan didn't plan to continue making light bulbs. Get up and say goodbye. Planning to go to the set to see Lin Qingxian, he was stimulated by the crooked energy of Woz and Kandy.

...

With Tang Huan's assistance, Tan Jiaming's filming activities in the United States are much more convenient.

Since DreamWorks may be bought and licensed to operate in Europe to broadcast, the entire "Killing" crew has worked harder and more serious.

However, this movie is relatively simple after all, and no matter how slow it works. It will be over now, and Lin Qingxian, who has completed her part, feels quite rewarding.

Tang Huan’s detective team caught up with the closing of the crew and naturally wanted to entertain everyone. Lin Qingxian was persuaded to drink two glasses of wine, her pretty face blushed, and she was so bright.

As a director, Tan Jiaming will inevitably plan carefully, although he borrowed Tang Huan's light and saved some money. But he didn't dare to be careless, after having a lively meal. I was ready to go back home and fly back to Xiangjiang.

"I'll see you." Tang Huan smiled and took Lin Qingxian's hand and got into the car.

"It's all to blame. I have let people drink an extra glass of wine, and now they are a little dizzy." Lin Qingxian leaned softly on the back of the chair, annoyed.

"What are you afraid of? I will be your bodyguard. It is absolutely safe and foolproof." Tang Huan smiled, refusing to admit his ulterior motives.

"It's even more dangerous if you are there. It's not that it's not unwilling to steal from guards." After Lin Qingxian smiled sweetly, she closed her eyes slightly and dozed in a daze.

After waiting for a while, the car stopped, and Lin Qingxian woke up after hearing Tang Huan say "there is a place", and immediately found that this is not her home.

"Didn't you say, take me home?" Lin Qingxian asked in surprise.

"That's right, this is my home, and of course it is also your home." Tang Huan smiled rudely, leaned down, and picked up Lin Qingxian's soft body.

After realizing that she had been coaxed by Tang Huan, Lin Qingxia beat the hateful man a few times in shame.

Tang Huan stood in front of the car playfully and gave Lin Qingxia a deep kiss. After a while, he moved his mouth away.

Lin Qingxian, panting, blushed and urged, "Hurry up, don't mess around here."

"This is a private residence. What are you worried about?" Tang Huan smiled and shook his head, holding Lin Qingxia into the living room.

"Is no one in your house?" Lin Qingxia asked worriedly.

"Aunty has gone to Singapore. We are a two-person world." Tang Huan strode into the bedroom, placed Lin Qingxian gently on the bed, and began to disarm quickly.

Lin Qingxian, 26 years old this year, can be said to be both physically and mentally acquainted. Since being reclaimed by Tang Huan, it is only by nature that he has refrained from this man in a reserved and literary manner, but once Tang Huan has broken through the barriers, he will only be disarmed and surrendered. Fortunately, letting his man do as he pleases with shame in front of him can show that the heart has a problem.

Tang Huan was preparing to hit a birdie, Lin Qingxia suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and said, "I remember, I need to call home to report."

"It's never too late to call again." Tang Huan held Lin Qingxian dumbfoundedly.

"No, it doesn't matter if you have the strength to toss you up soon." Lin Qingxian resolutely got up and went to get the phone on the bedside table.

Seen from the back, Lin Qingxian's graceful curves almost made Tang Huan bleed. Before Lin Qingxian could answer the phone, Tang Huan couldn't bear it, and then gently pasted it.

Lin Qingxian snorted, frowned, and then stretched out, turning her head to cast a charming look at Tang Huan.

At this time, the phone was connected, Lin Qingxian endured the throbbing in her body, said calmly, "I have something to do today, I won't go home", then answered the confirmation from the other side of the sentence, and hung up the phone in a hurry. .

...

The next day, the refreshed Tang Huan did not rush to the office. Instead, he stayed at home with Lin Qingxia. You and I were so tired all morning. They started cooking together and had lunch together, because the work was tight. His nerves were completely relaxed.

Stealing a floating life for half a day can only reach this level.

Soon, Tang Wenmao called to report that the laboratory funded by the Shennong Fund had achieved clear and unmistakable results. The team led by Robert Charles Gallo confirmed the resulting cases and was preparing to cooperate with the United States for Disease Control and Prevention. The center communicates this matter.

"Then follow the normal process. The Silicon Valley has been busy recently. I won't be specifically involved in this matter for the time being." After the order was over, Tang Huan, who put down the phone, thoughtfully. It was revealed that the time of confirming the case was more than half a year earlier than the original time and space, and it was a good deed.

Lin Qingxia, who had cleaned up the room, sat next to Tang Huan and shook his arm and said, "Send me home."

"You don't like being alone with me so much." Tang Huan smiled and took Lin Qingxia into his arms and kissed her on the forehead.

"No." Lin Qingxia's face showed a twisted look, "You are so busy, I don't want to delay your time to do business, and the bones were broken by you last night, so I should go home and rest."

"I don't know if you are considerate~www.wuxiahere.com~ or dissatisfied with me." Tang Huan shook his head helplessly, "Then I will take you home."

"This time, you really send me home." Lin Qingxia naughty stretched out her finger to make Tang Huan pull the hook to assure.

"Of course, I can't take you back again." Tang Huan was amused and laughed.

"Then go quickly." Lin Qingxian pulled Tang Huan and urged.

...

After sending Lin Qingxian home, Tang Huan came to Cupertino's office vigorously, and it happened that Chambers came to discuss the feasibility of purchasing additional insurance for employees.

This discussion was caused by the high-level fire that occurred in the dex venue and MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas a few days ago. The philosopher engineer who provided on-site support services for the hotel information management system was caused by the chaotic scene. Got hurt. (To be continued...)
