Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Don’t worry about it, everyone. I’m too busy today. I’m back late. I haven’t finished writing yet. I’ll upload it first and upload it completely later. I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone! bow! Watch it tomorrow morning, I stay up late to finish this chapter.

...

In fact, with the undertaking of government and military projects, Tang Huan’s companies began to be investigated by intelligence agencies, including the FBI. This was the intention of the question, and there was no fuss.

These investigations are conducted in secret, in public, in consultation with third parties, and even in direct doorsteps. Tang Huan once accepted telephone inquiries from FBI investigators. Some of the questions were even more "interesting", such as whether there was a history of drug use, and how many times he hid it.

Only with the public listing of Fangyuan Computer Company and Tang Huan as far as possible to get rid of the responsibilities of daily management of the enterprise, such harassment began to disappear.

After slowly drinking the cup of hot milk, Tang Huan slowly ordered: "In this way, you stay calm and do whatever you need to do; let the little girl come out to help temporarily from Goldman Sachs; in addition, EA's business volume in Japan It is very large, and it also includes real estate projects such as theme parks. It has ample operating space and can be further protected by its subsidiaries."

Zhuang Menghua, who graduated from Harvard Business School, has had a good experience in the past few years, enough to be an important task.

Tang Huan intends to let himself stand in the bright spot further free from concrete work, and attract the attention of those who have the intention as much as possible, so that the trusted henchmen can handle the work in the dark more freely.

In fact, he has nothing to be afraid of. The businessman is chasing profit, and everyone understands the tricky things. The two brothers, Nelson Hunter and William Hunter, have caused the silver futures market to collapse, and there is no prison in the end. Disaster, this is a major feature of American ecology.

The point is that as long as you have value, someone welcomes you. Mark Rich insisted on doing oil business with Iran, breaking the US trade embargo, and finally had to flee to Switzerland. But that's all. In the original time and space, people were still alive and kicking into the 21st century, and they were buried in Israel after their death.

Tang Huan, who masters information asymmetry, sees through the rules, and controls enough resources. Gao Wujian is very calm, and Tang Wenmao's close subordinates can't understand it.

After Tang Wenmao left, Tang Huan couldn't go back to sleep in anymore, and started a day's work.

At lunch, my little cousin Meng Jing came over. She had just entered college this year, and Tang Huan was not worried about this wild girl, so she arranged to go to Stanford University nearby, with a caregiver.

"After going to college, I can finally breathe the air of freedom." Tang Huan joked, because the high school management that Geyin had studied before was very strict, which caused him many complaints.

"That's the same thing." Meng Jing took a sip of juice, and then answered indifferently.

The two were chatting about interesting things on campus, and Spielberg and George Lucas came over with drinks.

"Two, rare guests. And they still show up at the same time." Tang Huan said somewhat unexpectedly: "You didn't make a special trip to Cupertino to taste our restaurant's food."

Tang Huan is really surprised. These two are busy people. In addition to producing this summer's "Back to the Future", Spielberg is also directing a movie called "The Purple"; George Lu On Cass's side, the divorce lawsuit with endless quarrels alone was enough to make him suffer.

Speaking of which, George Lucas and his first wife Marcia Lucas are also like-minded. They are a film editor. In 1974, he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Editing with the small-cost and fresh work "American Style Painting" that was so popular at the box office.

After that, Marcia Lucas also served as the editing supervisor of "Taxi Driver" starring Robert De Niro and Judy Foster, who won the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival. George Lucas won the 1977 Oscar for Best Editing Award for "Star Wars".

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. This pair of life partners and business partners is now going to fly together.

"The restaurant here is really not like a staff canteen. The standard of food can be compared to the professional restaurants outside." George Lucas smiled and complimented.

Tang Huan estimated that there must be something wrong with these two people running over, but he didn't ask in a hurry. Just beckon them to sit down.

It was Spielberg who explained first, “George’s cash flow has been tight recently, so he plans to sell some of the computer businesses of Lucasfilm. I want to ask Don if he’s interested.”

Among the series of companies created by George Lucas, the most familiar one is IndustrialLightandMagic, which deals with visual effects. In fact, SkywalkerSound, which deals with sound effects, is also backed up by SkywalkerSound. Games LucasArts-Lucas movie games, etc.

Listen to Spielberg saying that George Lucas is going to sell some companies to cash out. Tang Huan immediately heard the sound of the piano and elegantly guessed that George Lucas was affected by the divorce lawsuit, and the income of "Star Wars" could not continue to be strong, which caused his cash flow to be so tight.

It must be pointed out that if there is no agreement for these celebrities in the United States, the cost of divorce is often very high.

Take Robert Noyce, one of the founders of Intel. Because of an extramarital affair, his original wife filed a divorce lawsuit with him in a California court and directly divided half of the family property worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

George Lucas' current situation is so embarrassing, he must have the wealth, but cash is another matter.

Tang Huan estimated that George Lucas had not yet reached the point of selling Industrial Light and Magic, so he asked curiously, "Which departments or subsidiaries is George going to sell?"

"Computer department." George Lucas replied: "At present, it has two main components. A team is responsible for the development of custom computers that can digitize the images on real-life motion pictures and incorporate cool special effects; in addition, A team focused on computer animation production."

"I'm going, isn't this the predecessor of Pixar Animation Studios!" Tang Huan reacted immediately, and wondered to himself, "Why hasn't Steve Jobs been online with this money-losing goods?"

Then he was a little surprised. George Lucas was so troubled by the divorce lawsuit that Jobs was not much better, and the lawsuit was also plagued-Apple was preparing to sue him for digging his own wall.

In other words, Jobs has not had time to spare time to take care of other things.

To be honest, Tang Huan is not very interested in this transaction. Gein's industry has basically taken shape in the fields currently involved. It has also gone through a stage of barbaric expansion, and now the focus is on "practicing internal strength."

DigitalDomain-Digital Domain is D2. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has surpassed Industrial Light & Magic for its accomplishments in visual effects and computer animation.

If you have to find a factor that can impress Tang Huan. It may be talent.

However, his company has already made a name for himself, and talents in the IT field often take the initiative to come to the door; as for the relatively scarce artistic and creative talents, they have also recruited a lot.

For example, John Lasseter, who was fired by Disney, turned his head and entered D2 work happily after he was frustrated.

In this way. The computer department of Lucasfilm, whether it is technology or talent, cannot generate the attraction that Tang Huan has to take action.

You know, in the original time and space, the Pixar animation studio in Jobs's hands, before the release of "Toy Story", had always been a money-loser. And the success of "Toy Story" comes with a certain coincidence, when Disney did not plan to release it online in cinemas.

It is estimated that only Jobs, a paranoid, would spend tens of millions of dollars at his own expense to sustain the survival of Pixar Animation Studios tenaciously, but that almost couldn't stand it. Sell ​​it before "Toy Story" is released.

Seeing that Tang Huan didn't express his opinion immediately, George Lucas couldn't help feeling cold. It is estimated that this time he will have to go for nothing.

Lucasfilm's computer department is not unpopular, but willing buyers have been hesitant.

The main reason is that under the leadership of Tang Huan, the barriers to entry in the rapidly developing computer industry at this stage have begun to rise, and non-professionals who want to make quick money may just get in and disappear. For non-mainstream computers like the computer department of Lucasfilm, the prospects are too confusing.

In this case, the highest price George Lucas received was only $5 million, which was far from his expectations. So much so that Edwin Cartem and Elvi Smith, the heads of Lucasfilm's computer department, plan to spot the market and buy the company, and then bring in a strong investor and continue to operate.

George Lucas must raise enough cash flow within a limited time. Seeing that there is not much time left for himself to raise money. He intends to sell at a loss.

After learning about this, Spielberg suggested that George Lucas should take the initiative to contact Tang Huan. The richest man has always been concerned about the combination of computer technology and creativity, including art, and sparks that may erupt, maybe Lu The computer department of Cass Films will be able to get into the eyes of others and get a satisfactory quotation.

that's all. George Lucas, who had no other choice, was moved by the words and decided to follow the enthusiastic Spielberg to try his luck at Tang Huan. But judging from the reaction of the other party, it seems to be nothing.

Seeing this, Spielberg also felt a little embarrassed. He was about to try to persuade him. Meng Jing, who was sitting next to Tang Huan, muttered in Mandarin: "Can you be so stingy? Something that was tested in the movie "Star Wars". After all, it won’t be too bad. Even if you don’t need it, you can’t keep it for others. Anyway, you don’t need money.”

"You little prodigal daughter..." Tang Huan laughed out loud when he was amused by his little cousin, but the phrase "I don't need it or keep it for others" made him feel moved.

Sometimes, it must be admitted that "it’s because of people." Edwin Katem and Elvi Smith, the current heads of Lucasfilm’s computer department, are the same for the Pixar animation studio in the original time and space. The author was kicked out because of the contradiction with Jobs, and then deliberately removed from the history of Pixar Animation Studios, but the credit cannot be erased.

For these two people alone, it is worth buying the computer department of Lucasfilm, and at the same time selling the favors of George Lucas and Spielberg.

Now Warner’s boss, Steve Rose, and Universal Pictures’ President Sid Hinberg, are all trying to win Spielberg in various ways, and he can’t just let it go.

More importantly, it controlled the
