Rebirth of the Tech Madman

As a serious newspaper, "The Times" naturally has to use data to speak. Its findings are that the back cover content of the program files used for this more than one-hour wedding is the same, and it can be clear on live TV. The display time of the Recognition Fangyuan computer reached three minutes.

As the content of the ceremony, music and reading accounted for a large part, even if it is sacred and great to inspire the enthusiasm of the Chinese people, it is unavoidable to be a little dull. The members showed up and gave close-ups of the exquisite reliefs in the church and so on.

In the link to show the royal style, this back cover has repeatedly become the protagonist, and its meaning is really intriguing.

Is this a carefully planned advertising campaign? Perhaps the result is not important, because the 7.5 billion, or even more, viewers who watch live broadcasts all over the world have already remembered the name of Fangyuan Computer. It is the price that the beneficiary company paid for successfully lobbying the royal family, and it should be announced to let the public know.

We can’t blame the British for staring at the money so much. You must know that in the current poor economic environment, the British royal family spent a total of 30 million pounds in order to create this world wedding. Among them, the bride’s exquisite milky white taffeta The silk mopping skirt is inlaid with more than 10,000 hand-sewn pearls.

To put it mundanely, the so-called fairy tale weddings are piled up with real gold and silver every minute and every second.

Therefore, the British royal family's celebration of the century is not a gathering of people who are one-sided and one-sided. Many opponents questioned its extravagant and wasteful ethos of disregarding the suffering of the people.

Due to Yulu force, Charles and Diana performed the unprecedented royal kiss. Before starting their honeymoon in a split-top convertible carriage. A spokesperson was commissioned to make a statement. This is a collaboration that resulted from joking and received a total of 20 million U.S. dollars, of which at least half will be used to help people with employment difficulties.

When various media were chasing and blocking Tang Huan, who had just met Mrs. Thatcher at the Prime Minister’s residence in Downing Street, Boss Tang confirmed with Charles’s rhetoric: “We made a joke and made a bet, as long as Fangyuan computer can be on TV. For the live broadcast, I was willing to pay 100,000 U.S. dollars every second for this, so His Royal Highness, who is enthusiastic about charity, helped me, but the length of time seemed a little unexpected."

Looking at the expression "I was robbed by Charles" on Tang Huan's face. The reporters laughed loudly, so the newlyweds, the crown prince and his wife who went on their honeymoon, were given more blessings, which can be described as a higher level of prestige; while Tang Huan and Fangyuan Computer successfully grabbed the headlines of the next period. It has been widely reported, and there is no lack of ridicule that "nouveau riche is willful".

In order to dilute the commercial flavor of this transaction, the British royal family deliberately arranged a meeting between Tang Huan and the queen.

Tang Huan didn't care too much. He brought a group of Xiaobawang game consoles as gifts, as well as some traditional board games made by Hasbro, and went to Buckingham Palace casually.

The royal family did not use cumbersome etiquette to elevate their status. Instead, Tang Huan saw the queen almost without any delay. After all, a rich billionaire is not so foolish.

Elizabeth II has always paid attention to maintaining the orthodoxy of the royal family, and its public image is often dignified and solemn, and even at Charles's wedding, he did not laugh.

But people have emotions. This queen can't keep her face sullen and hold her air in private. She can still show a kind side in informal occasions.

Therefore, in this short meeting, the atmosphere was not as boring as expected, but it was limited to this, still with traces of formulation.

After Tang Huan had dealt with this errand, he planned to leave for the United States, but he did not expect to be surrounded by a group of reporters who seemed to be beaten up at the hotel entrance.

…

"Tang, what is the relationship between Judy Foster and you?"

"Don, you and Judy Foster look very close. Is she your girlfriend?"

"Tang, where is Judy Foster currently, is she hidden by your golden house?"

…

Listening to the messy questions, Tang Huan frowned.

At this time, an entourage ran back sweating profusely and handed a copy of The Sun.

Tang Huan glanced at it. Feelings, the all-pervasive tabloid newspaper, became more powerful again. When he took Judy Foster on the plane to the United States at the airport, he felt that he had escaped the American prison girl quietly. Under excitement, he couldn't help but get overwhelmed. I hugged myself and kissed two, and the result was captured by others.

The Tianluodinet of The Sun is simply better than spy surveillance, Tang Huan whispered helplessly.

However, when a guy squeezed up and yelled "I am a Sun reporter" regardless of the obstruction of his entourage, Tang Huan hurriedly slammed the newspaper onto the opponent's face and warned: "I would like to advise you. It’s better to pay attention to the bottom line when doing things. After this big change, a little girl who has been harassed by you is on the verge of collapse. Now she doesn’t even have the right to escape?"

Tang Huan had kung fu in his hands, and in annoyance, he forgot to control his strength. The newspaper was almost "pumped" on the bridge of the reporter's nose, and his nose bleeds suddenly.

"I hit someone, I was injured, I invite a lawyer to sue you..." This guy's voice suddenly rose an octave, because he felt that he was about to make a sensational news, his accent was filled with endless joy, and he completely lost his voice.

Seeing this, Tang Huan couldn't laugh or cry, and cursed in his heart that even if the unemployment rate in the UK is high, you don't need to be so dedicated.

Realizing that the scene is going out of control, Tang Huan's entourage can be anxious. It is the first time they have encountered such a rogue.

One of the black security assistants punched the guy who was making trouble with his throat to the ground and opened a passage in front. The others immediately escorted Tang Huan into the car and rushed to the airport.

Tang Huan got on the plane, and as soon as he left, there was a feather on the London side.

The British had just finished talking about this Silicon Valley nouveau riche's heroic spirit, and the "Sun" concocted the news that Boss Tang rushed to the crown and smashed the beauties, and the newspaper also announced that it intends to pursue legal responsibility. .

Suddenly. Another round of public opinion carnival began. I don't know how much GDP has been promoted.

…

Tang Huan didn't bother to continue paying attention to such boring things. A lawsuit of such a degree, besides continuing to win eyeballs, what meaning is there, the subordinates will naturally deal with it.

When the Silicon Valley One stopped in New York, the entourage brought a few newspapers.

Tang Huan flipped through it at random, and was quickly attracted by an article in The Wall Street Journal entitled "How effective are the advertisements watched by 7.5 billion people at the same time?"

Judging from the results of the street survey, "Have you heard of Fangyuan Computer" accounted for 95% of the affirmative answers.

Among this group of people, the correct answer to "Do you know what Fangyuan computer is" reached 99%.

As for "Will you buy a computer with a radius of at least US$3,000". Affirmative replies accounted for 30%, and those that would be considered accounted for 30%, and even uninterested replies accounted for 30%. As for the remaining proportion, it was an indifferent attitude.

In the end, this report jokingly made an arithmetic problem, multiplying 7.5 billion visits by 30% of the purchase intention rate, and then multiplying it by the unit price of US$3,000 per unit, and the final result was US$675 billion.

The editor commented in a very jealous tone, "Tang's public relations activities are really worth it," and then turned to joking. "I just don't know how much water there is in this number."

Tang Huan put down the newspaper and smiled faintly. There is no way to estimate the amount of water, but there is good news in front of him, that is, the Fangyuan Computer Standards Alliance he promotes is almost bargaining, and it is waiting for a formal meeting.

…

Wednesday, August 12, 1981.

In the original time and space, this day is the time to market.

In this time and space, Tang Huan, full of evil tastes, set the technology conference of the Fangyuan Computer Standards Alliance on this day.

Originally, this alliance was still arguing on certain issues, but at the world-watched British royal wedding ceremony more than ten days ago, after the phantom of Fangyuan Computer was looming in front of 7.5 billion viewers around the world, everyone gradually calmed down.

Regardless of whether the advertising method is too upstart or not, no one dares to underestimate the effect after spending big money.

And I don’t know if it happened that during this period, the second-generation Fangyuan Computer successfully entered the office equipment procurement directory of the US tax department.

The official reason is that the second-generation Fangyuan computer has almost perfectly solved the current tax calculation problem under adjustment, and it is sufficient to meet the needs of business changes in the future.

Seeing Fangyuan Computer received such an order, the colleagues in the industry were thumped with jealousy.

After Reagan came to power, he vigorously promoted the tax reduction policy, which naturally generated new data calculation needs. Why did he not realize this business opportunity?

As a result, Fangyuan Computer picked up a huge bargain.

The benefits of dominating the application market in a certain field have gradually been known in the personal computer industry.

Before, Apple Computer successfully entered the field of education, it is a clear proof.

Now, Fangyuan Computer followed closely behind and got a long-term meal ticket.

After all, the performance of personal computers is limited. It is not easy to find such a suitable application field. It is just that you have fast hands and slow hands. If you miss this village, there will be no such shop.

But I don’t have a product that balances the performance, functionality, cost, and performance. Seeing others conquer the market, it’s nothing.

As a result, manufacturers interested in licensing the second-generation Fangyuan computer-compatible computer coincidentally reduced their entanglement and began to look forward to the finalization of this technical alliance, so that everyone can quickly start to make money.

Among the authorized vendors, the Asian region accounts for the vast majority. Japan has companies such as Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, Kyocera, etc., South Korea has Samsung, and Treasure Island has Acer. As for the United States, there is an absolute heavyweight participant. HP.

When Woz developed the Apple computer, he was an engineer at Hewlett-Packard.

After Jobs encouraged Woz to set up a company specifically for this research and development result to operate, Woz once honestly took his own work and went to HP to ask if he was interested in it. After evaluation, the other party believed that it had no practical and commercial value. Rejected amicably.

But when Woz asked HP for instructions on whether this work can be licensed to other companies to operate, he got a reply similar to "please do it yourself".

As a result, in the next few years, Apple Computer developed rapidly, until it was successfully listed on the Nasdaq, composing a myth of wealth that made people enthusiastic, and even reinterpreting the story of HP’s “garage entrepreneurship” back then. , Become an idol of fame and fortune.

Watching an opportunity to make a fortune and slipping away at his own hand, this Silicon Valley big brother, no matter how painstakingly managing the “HP culture” he emphasizes, he cannot pretend to be calm and unrestrained. care.

What's more, compared with the mid-1970s, the development prospects of the personal computer industry have gradually become clearer, and it has entered the 16-bit stage, and it can no longer be said to be a useless toy.

Big Blue's entry into the personal computer industry is the biggest recognition of this type of product.

A veteran company like Hewlett-Packard naturally has a complete product line, and even launched the hp85 product in the personal computer category in 1980.

However, this kind of equipment similar to the oscilloscope in the laboratory is mainly used with HP's own minicomputers and is provided to engineers. The scope of application is very narrow, which is very different from the general meaning represented by Apple computers.

There is no doubt that HP is fully capable of designing a set of personal computers with an exclusive architecture. However, due to the initial contempt for this market, the direction of research and development is somewhat biased.

Starting off again, HP also has this capital. But under the premise of desperately working hard, even after a year, HP can't say that it can do better, and the market is not waiting for others.

It happened that Tang Huan pulled in people everywhere to form the Fangyuan Computer Standards Alliance, and HP joined in.

In the final analysis, HP's executives, like ibm's executives, subconsciously underestimate personal computers, so Big Blue doesn't care about setting up a department for personal computers outside of its own system, while the Silicon Valley big brother is targeting second-generation Fangyuan computers. There is no psychological burden on using doctrine.

HP's position in Silicon Valley is still very special. Its joining has significantly increased the gold content of the Fangyuan Computer Standards Alliance by a level.

Just like the introduction of Giant Blue, the industry has become more certain that the future is brighter and customers believe that personal computers are reliable. HP’s cheering on the stage has driven other vendors who are still waiting and see, naturally, that the Fangyuan Computer Standards Alliance should be very promising. of. (To be continued...)
