Rebirth of the Tech Madman

From the jaw-dropping expressions on the faces of Tang Huan and Ted Turner, you can see that this sudden accident had a huge impact on them, just like a nail was pierced in the sole of their feet when they were doing business.

"Damn it." Ted Turner threw the binoculars away with anger.

Tang Huan, who was the first to calm down, told his entourage in a deep voice, "Go and see our team members, and then learn about whose boat it is that ruined our good deeds."

It wasn't until the dinner after the game that the details of the accident were fully understood. The ship that made a mess belonged to Rupert Murdoch, and the opponent was unabashedly proud of it.

"It turned out to be this old guy." Ted Turner was furious. "Murdoch and I have become more and more out of touch with each other recently. I didn't expect him to disgust us here."

Tang Huan thought for a while and found that Australia could be called Murdoch's home court.

The media tycoon was born on a farm 30 miles south of Melbourne. After he inherited his father’s business, he won his first victory in Sydney and founded Australia’s first national newspaper, The Australian, laying a solid foundation for his media empire.

If it is torn in Australia, it is difficult to get a bargain.

Therefore, Tang Huan reminded him, "After returning to the United States, I will find a way to find the venue."

Unexpectedly, Murdoch was at the door of his hometown, holding the prestige of a big victory, and his style was quite high-profile, he came over specifically to greet him as his master.

"Tang, you should actually sell Warner's shares to News Corp. I have prepared a very attractive offer." Murdoch showed regret on his face.

"I have reached a business-related transaction with Warner, so I can only apologize." Tang Huan replied lightly.

"Business-related?" Murdoch asked intentionally, "You seem to have always been obsessed with cable networks. Is this also for this reason?"

"Of course." Tang Huan nodded slightly. "You may not have read a paper I wrote. In it, I have analyzed that the future cable TV network and telecommunications network. Both can be connected to the computer network through technical means."

"I don't know how long to wait for this future?" Murdoch laughed mockingly. "Your prediction will have a greater effect on the stock price increase of the company under your name."

"Murdoch, can you stop talking about so many irrelevant nonsense." Ted Turner intervened impatiently, "Your ship, it sank my ship, you have to give an explanation."

"What can I say, isn't it just an accident." Murdoch's eyelids drooped, "Who let it get in the way!"

"Okay. You finally said what you were saying." Ted Turner sneered, "Don't you like fighting very much? How about going to the boxing ring in Las Vegas, how about a fight? National live broadcast! "

"Bull my age?" Murdoch glanced at Ted Turner with disdain, and laughed: "You might as well let Tang play, he has the advantage of age."

Tang Huan picked up an apple from the fruit plate and squeezed it hard, and the whole apple immediately turned into puree.

"Are you sure, if I invite you to the boxing ring, you will agree?" Tang Huan asked with a smile, "I am more than just young."

Murdoch's old face instantly rose to the color of pig liver. After angrily replied "boring", he turned and left.

Ted Turner laughed heartily as he watched the old enemy run away. The previous depression was wiped out.

Tang Huan frowned thoughtfully while wiping his hands.

This post-match banquet is an open public place. The conflict of words just now cannot avoid the eyes and ears of the reporters. What's more, it's still full of gossip, so it will be seen in the newspapers the next day, and the spread is even less. Fourteen hours. It spread from Australia to the United States.

...

"Be sure to invite Barry Diller to CNN." When sending Ted Turner on the plane, Tang Huan specifically exhorted.

Ted Turner nodded for understanding. Then he asked, "When will you return to the United States?"

"It doesn't matter whether I am in the United States or not. It doesn't matter to the media industry such as cable TV. I don't understand." Tang Huan smiled playfully, "However, I can still remotely control my subordinates and give Murdoch to Murdoch in the capital market. Create some trouble."

"Then you must not be merciful." After Ted Turner said angrily, he waved goodbye to Tang Huan.

...

Tang Huan originally planned to take the time to go to Siam again, and Gein Funan entered the dry season from November to April. Large-scale military operations began immediately, and he really couldn't let go of his brother-in-law.

As a result, Christina called with joy, "Our little princess is about to be born, won't you take a look?"

Tang Huan patted his thigh and almost forgot about the event.

Because of the birth experience of the first child, the female ship king became pregnant this time, and her mental state was obviously much more stable. Tang Huan didn't worry about prenatal depression and other issues so much that she ignored it.

This was Tang Huan's first daughter. He couldn't help but feel a little bit particularly happy, and hurried directly from Australia to Paris. When I saw Christina, the other party had already been admitted to the hospital.

"I have already given the baby a name. The girl is called Athena Don Onassis, and the boy is called Plato Don Onassis. What do you think?" the female ship king asked braggingly.

"Yes, the Onassis family includes all the three great ancient Greeks." Tang Huan had nothing to say about the fun of Christina's name.

The female ship king who got the approval, smiled and touched the heads of the two sons who were standing next to her, "After you have younger brothers and sisters, you will be even more enthusiastic. It won’t be like your mother, your parents and elder brothers are gone, you are lonely. It's very."

Having said this, Christina turned her eyes to Tang Huan and thanked her with infinite tenderness, "My dear, since I met you, I have become what I want, and you are my greatest support."

"The childbirth is just around the corner, so don't sigh, so as not to disturb the baby in your stomach." Tang Huan gently shook the female ship king's hand, smiling and comforting.

"Well, with you by my side, I won't think about other things." Christina nodded contentedly. "By the way, I should build a ship for the baby who is about to be born."

The previous ship Gemini went to the battlefield of Falkland Islands for a round. Then I completed the circumnavigation and currently provides cruise service in Miami, USA. Business can only be said to be neither bad nor good.

Seeing that the female ship king had another idea of ​​building a ship, Tang Huan couldn't help laughing.

"The two elder brothers have their own boats. If there is no baby in the belly, they will be unhappy. Honey, don't you think?" Christina shook Tang Huan's hand and began to act like a baby.

Before Tang Huan could answer, the female ship king laughed, "Look. The baby is moving in her stomach to protest, oops..."

"I'm still protesting, this is obviously about to give birth." Tang Huan hurriedly called the doctor.

After Christina was pushed into the delivery room, Aristotle Don Onassis and Socrates Don Onassis, the two little guys, pulled Tang Huan together and asked, "Dad, can you tell mom? Say, don't let us go to kindergarten?"

"Why don't you want to go to kindergarten?" Tang Huan asked with a smile, "I feel this is pretty good, and I can learn how to get along with other children."

The two children grumbled and answered in unison. "Because they are too naive and do not have a common language, which is too torturous."

Tang Huan looked at the early-hui twins suddenly. The heart said it was true.

Although there is no definite evidence, after giving birth to so many twins, Tang Huan can basically come to the conclusion that the wisdom of the many elites in his mind is very likely to be passed on to the next generation in some form, otherwise it cannot be explained. All of the eight sons that have existed are so clever. Correspondingly, the conflict in his mind is also decreasing.

Put these super-intelligent children into their peers. It's not good for anyone.

Thinking of this, Tang Huan nodded. "I can help you, but I have to find another educational solution to arrange for you."

The brothers breathed a sigh of relief. Nodded again and again, "Just don't go to kindergarten, these few months have been too torturous. There are so many little kids who are still running noses, don't mention them too annoying."

Seeing them look like little adults, Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Come on, have a good chat with me, what are you thinking about in your little heads?"

...

Athena Don Onassis and Plato Don Onassis were born safely. The former was quicker, and became the older sister, while the latter became the younger brother.

"It's not easy, I also have a daughter." Tang Huan happily placed Athena's little hand on his palm.

"Look at how beautiful Athena's eyes are." Christina's attention was also focused on her daughter.

As a result, Plato, who was left out on the other side, began to cry.

Aristotle and Socrates, who were watching the excitement, looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Fortunately, we were all the same."

"Mum was wrong..." Christina hurriedly comforted her little son who had known jealousy after only a few days of birth.

...

Things are rare and precious, and this daughter, who is only one in ten miles, really makes Tang Huan reluctant to stay in Paris.

However, for a superior like him, leisure time is not always available, and soon something is put on the desk, waiting to be dealt with.

The first is that Kang Maoda, who has been killing all parties in the cheap computer market, even squeezed out Texas Instruments. Just entering January 1984, there was a major high-level personnel earthquake and the chairman resigned.

Tang Huan's direct response to this was that he could bring an experienced compatible manufacturer to Fangyuan's personal computer, so as not to avoid the Japanese side becoming arrogant and difficult to control.

In addition, it may be able to fulfill the promise to help Warner find a next home for Atari.

The second thing was that Tang Huan was both surprised and dumbfounded. In the videotape format battle between vhs and betamax, he chose to stand on the side of Sony.

You know, the script in the original time and space is not like this.

Tang Huan, who was puzzled in his heart, hurriedly sent more information to Japan, and he understood what was going on.

It turned out that after seeing cable news network and Hollywood film companies represented by United States and MGM have proved the commercial value of video tapes with practical applications, I was moved and planned to develop such a set of things myself. Profit.

There is no doubt that ready-made technical solutions can be harvested directly in Japan.

Regardless of the fact that Japanese cars, home appliances, semiconductors and other products are in the U.S. market, some areas still need to rely on the agency mechanism to enter the U.S. market, just like Nintendo once tried to let Atari represent the U.S. market for game consoles.

If there is no video tape, the video recorder loses its meaning, and the value of the video tape lies in the content of the program recorded on it.

Don't look at Hollywood companies such as United American, MGM, Paramount, and TV media such as American Television News Network, which can make money in the home consumer market by issuing video tapes because they hold the copyright of these programs.

Moreover, in order not to affect mainstream media platforms such as movies and television, the programs on the videotapes are usually not time-sensitive.

If video recorder and video tape manufacturers directly promote their products to the US market, they will face legal risks. At this stage, the US judicial circle has not yet made a clear conclusion on the relationship between video tapes and copyright.

It can be said that there is an invisible market entry barrier. In comparison, American program content providers occupy a more favorable position and have a greater right to speak.

Therefore, the one who has the advantage, with the mentality of picking up the bargain, searched for the target in Japan, and caught a glance at the vhs format, because its video tapes directly have a 4-hour length specification ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the sale of video recorders. The price can be reduced to under $1,000.

These characteristics are simply tailor-made for its subordinates, and the various sports events broadcast, due to the time difference between the east and the west of the United States, need a video tape of this length as a buffer.

In addition, in broadcast-grade video tape products, it also stands on the same starting line as Sony, the old industry standard strong in this field.

But in the process of bargaining, I felt that I was not as servile as I imagined.

After further investigation, it was finally discovered that the new patents of the vhs format, including 4-hour length, broadcast-grade s-vhs, etc., are mostly owned by Epson. As a reward for the original cooperation, they can be used free of charge, but No right to spread casually.

As a negotiating technique, if I didn't get enough benefits here, I turned around and went to Sony.

This was originally just to add a bargaining power, but I didn’t expect that Sony, which was technically dependent and should have a tough attitude, showed a more humble attitude. As a result, all of a sudden, those who wanted to win the autumn wind were drawn into the betamax camp. . (To be continued.)
