Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

The box office hit movie "Rising Clouds", the collateral effect can not be limited to the electronic game of the same name, helping ea to return to the US market to get a good start.

For example, the episode, "Takemy Breathaway" sung by Deng Lijun-"Take My Breath", once released, quickly boarded "billboardhot100"-"Billboard Hot 100".

Now Deng Lijun, in addition to becoming a big hit in the Japanese music scene, has also been recognized by the mainstream in the United States.

In this song "Take My Breath", Deng Lijun not only maintained a high level of style and technology as always, but also devoted his sincere feelings to make this love song classic and perfect.

When the music plays in the movie, the heroes and heroines-the US Navy f-14 fighter pilot played by Tom Cruise and the flight school instructor played by Kelly McGillis, the love between each other becomes more and more romantic. .

The great success of "Top Rising Clouds" also led to popular sales of peripheral products such as Ray-Ban sunglasses and g-1 flight jacket. Among them, the sales of Ray-Ban sunglasses soared by 40%, which brought additional revenue to the film.

I have to say that Tom Cruise is very successful in playing handsome.

In addition, the wonderful shots in "Rising the Clouds" also made Zheru's other high-tech product, the cabin simulator, shine, attracting numerous consultations from civil aviation companies and pilot training institutions.

Of course, this kind of product is not the first to be created by Tang Huanlai, but he can use the technical reserves he has developed to do better, so that he can easily control it so that he also introduced this technology into the field of video games by the way, and released the arcade version. "Flight Simulator".

In the past few years when the home video game console business completely collapsed, the impact of arcade machines in the North American market is not fatal, and it is still alive and well. This makes the Cassidy arcade machine a great tool for ea to maintain its presence in the North American market.

Different from home video game consoles, when a product model is determined, millions of units are sold at every turn, which makes hardware improvements have to be cautious; arcade machines can almost arbitrarily display their creativity in hardware design, and ea is dedicated to "Flight Simulator". 》We have customized 50,000 sets of expensive Cassidy arcade motherboards.

As a result, the "Simulated Flight" with a test-water nature, after the initial experience, the product was sold out, and the popularity even caused significant fluctuations in the supply of coins in certain areas, which attracted the attention of banks and governments.

After getting the report of this unexpected situation, Tang Huan realized that "Need for Speed" should be ready to debut.

However, Tripp Hawkins’s idea is slightly different. He hopes that this game will be introduced to the market with the next generation of home video game consoles-the third-generation Cassidy game console, so as to be a flagship game to drive the console’s development. sell like hot cakes.

Tang Huan did not force each other, he still believed his subordinates' grasp of the specific business, but still reminded: "You plan to make the three-generation Xiaobawang game console officially unveiled next year, maybe the timing is not right."

"Could it be that Zheru has made any new breakthroughs in video acceleration. Should the prototype worthy of alternatives have to be adjusted?" Tripp Hawkins asked suspiciously.

It has been four years since the second-generation Xiaobawang game console was released in 1983, and the outside world has speculated on ea’s next-generation home TV game console, the third-generation Xiaobawang game console, for a long time, such as the processor will Upgraded to a 32-bit architecture, the storage medium becomes a cd-rom with a proprietary copyright protection function, and 2d video acceleration technology is fully introduced.

Speaking from facts, these prophetic emperor’s remarks are still quite ridiculous, but it doesn’t mean how clever they are. Because Gein uses high-standard hardware platforms to crush competitors and continue to expand the market, they are already in the game software. To achieve the level of "content is king" is an inevitable choice.

The 32-bit architecture of the third-generation Xiaobawang game console, whose mission is to give those other 16-bit home video game consoles that follow the second-generation Xiaobawang game console a sap, is already ready, but certain external factors must be considered.

Tang Huan pondered: "According to the assessment, with the signing of the US-Japan semiconductor trade agreement and Intel’s complete abandonment of the dynamic random access memory business, coupled with the vigorous development of personal computers, next year the US market will definitely have significant memory problems due to the imbalance between supply and demand Price volatility, this is an extremely dangerous factor that is difficult to control and extremely dangerous for Cassidy game consoles that are trying to control the cost of hardware production as much as possible."

Tripp Hawkins was startled at hearing, "Will our production base in Asia be affected?"

"I'm afraid it will inevitably be affected more or less. After all, the Japanese have already grabbed almost the market share, and it's time to reap." Tang Huan waved his hand and said with reassurance: "But don't worry, I am here. A new long-term supply agreement has been won. The production of the second-generation Xiaobawang game console should not cause problems, but if the third-generation Xiaobawang game console is launched, the high-end dynamic random access memory required will inevitably become an obvious constraint. Cost short board."

"Wait a little longer." Tripp Hawkins thought for a while, and finally said: "At that time, the other 16 home video game consoles should also pop out, just to catch them all in one go."

Seeing that the other party was persuaded, Tang Huan nodded with satisfaction and solemnly exhorted: "The prediction of the possible price increase of dynamic random access memory must be strictly kept secret. It may affect the current personal computer market war."

Tripp Hawkins, who was born in Apple, has devoted all his attention to video games in recent years, but the stakes in the personal computer can still be seen.

He immediately smiled and said: "It is said that the ibm-pc compatible computer camp will soon launch a 32-bit personal computer using the intel80386 microprocessor, and the ps/2 of ibm is also about to be completed. The products in the new stage of launch are in the zero The supply of parts must be very sensitive, and it is estimated that there will be a good show at that time."

"Ibm is not a general, I hope they won't wake up too early." Tang Huanyun smiled calmly.

He will not put the hope of defeating the opponent completely on such a change, so his mentality is also very peaceful.

At this time, the assistant came to report, "Boss, time is almost up, we can start."

"Let's go, Tripp, let's go and celebrate "Rising Clouds" together." Tang Huan stood up and said.

...

The film "Rising Aspirations", released on May 16th, had a final North American box office close to 180 million U.S. dollars. If not unexpected, it will be the biggest winner this summer.

However, it needs to be pointed out that the box office distance of "Rising Clouds" is 200 million US dollars, which cannot be ignored. This is the same as the previous years of "Back to the Future", "Indiana Jones", "et Aliens", Summer box office champions such as "Star Wars" are simply incomparable.

Anyway, it is a period of weakness in Hollywood, and the market has really fallen to the bottom, and it is not known whether it has reached the bottom.

In order to bring the audience back to the movie theaters, Hollywood companies are still struggling, and even continue to introduce new elements from the outside to please the public.

For example, Twentieth Century Fox received the distribution rights for an Australian comedy film ""dundee"-"Crocodile Duncan"; Columbia Pictures discovered the American Kung Fu film "thekaratekid"-"The Kid Is Difficult", which learns karate. "After getting a box office of 90 million US dollars in 1984, the sequel was launched this year while the iron was hot. It was released on June 20th, and the limelight is catching up with "High Aspirations".

Under this circumstance, Tang Huan brought Hong Kong movies to Hollywood according to his own plan, which can be said to be a hit and run smoothly.

Of course, this has become more and more commendable in the original American style of "High Ambition".

But Tang Huan's fancy "High Aspirations" is not here, but the hidden public relations achievements behind it.

Needless to say, "High Aspirations" is a collaboration between Tang Huan and the US military, and even because of this relationship, some Hollywood staff in the project team withdrew.

The US military provided a complete set of resources, including the Penguin aircraft carrier and the F-14 fighter squadron, to assist in the filming of "High Aspirations."

Obviously, no matter how willing the US military is to help, it is impossible to mobilize these equipment in vain. Tang Huan still needs to give people money.

For example, in order to get those fighter planes to take off, the richest man paid $7,800 an hour to cover various costs including fuel.

For another example, director Tony Scott felt that the take-off and landing shots of the aircraft on the deck of the aircraft carrier were affected by sunlight, and the effect was not good, so he asked the commander to adjust the direction of the aircraft carrier. As a result, he paid another $25,000 for these five minutes.

Don't be too expensive, this is already a friendly price; if you change to someone else, even if you have money, you won't serve it!

In addition, in order to shoot real aerial images, the crew of "Rising the Clouds" borrowed Tang Huan's Learjet business jet for short-distance traffic in the United States, and simultaneously mobilized six cameras to capture every move of the fighter group.

Fortunately, Zheru’s cabin simulator can come in handy, solve many practical problems, and improve the quality of special effects, and thus control the film shooting budget within 15 million U.S. dollars, which has made considerable profits now.

The idol role played by "Rising Aspirations" has played a positive role in the American conscription that cannot be ignored. The U.S. Navy has personally admitted that the number of young people applying for U.S. military pilots has increased by 500%.

This is the result of the cooperation between Tang Huan and the U.S. military. It can be said that everyone is happy and ends perfectly.

The richest man was of course very satisfied. At the celebration banquet, he enthusiastically gave a toast, affirming his achievements, and thanking for his hard work.

Just as Tang Huan was about to end this session, his elbows and arms were transformed. A guest attending the banquet rushed out and smashed the pastry plate in his hand while shouting loudly: "Tang Huan, you ambitious. Guys, do you think you bought the entire California Don Golden State? Don’t want to build a California high-speed rail."

Although Tang Huan’s dignity and dignity spent the past few years enjoying the joy of a man, he did not throw away his kung fu, and immediately dodged in response; the bodyguards and banquet security guards who had reacted rushed forward, rushing forward. Subdued that guy.

This celebration banquet also came with the intention of media public relations, and many media reporters came to record the shocking excitement quickly.

In the whispers and strange eyes, Tang Huan tidied his shirt calmly. It didn't seem to be a little bit of fireworks, but in fact he was extremely annoyed.

He thought bitterly to himself: "I'm in New York on the east coast of the United States. You can come all the way from the west coast of the United States and hit the place! Do you really think that this kind of petty tricks can stop me? Huh?"

Although the troublemaker was subdued on the spot, the bodyguards certainly didn't want their boss to stay in this place of right and wrong, and quickly hurried forward to protect Tang Huan from leaving the scene.

"Find out the origin of that person and try to do a good job in media public relations." Tang Huan commanded calmly.

"We have already acted like this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the assistant immediately replied.

In fact, the banquet is so big, it can be described as a mixture of dragons and snakes, and the effect of media public relations is really limited. ⑧☆miào⑧☆bi(.*)gé⑧☆.＄.

As a result, on the second day, the old enemy "New York Post" immediately reported that at the celebration banquet of "High Aspirations", how the richest man in the United States was protested; and it also started another unpredictable farce. A report "Tang Jinzhou, don't want to build a California high-speed rail! "Let’s comprehensively sort out the disputes over interests caused by California's high-speed rail.

In this title, Tang Jinzhou's name is particularly dazzling, it is easy to make people think about it, and then build up hatred.

The news of Tang Huan's promotion and investment in the California high-speed rail project was spread during his participation in the Hannover Industrial Exhibition in Europe. As for the conflict of interest, it was due to the background of the midterm elections in the United States.

The mid-term elections in the United States refer to the US general elections held two years after the end of the US presidential election, which is held every four years, just near the midpoint of the four-year presidential term.

The significance of this year is not trivial, because in addition to the 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 100 seats in the Senate in the U.S. Congress, 36 out of the 50 U.S. states will have governor elections. In addition, states need to be elected. Legislative officials and county officials.

Since voters will change their voting goals in the mid-term elections based on the president’s performance for more than a year in office, the mid-term elections can be regarded as the president’s mid-term examination and may affect whether the new president can be re-elected in the next term.

In short, the mid-term elections in the United States will affect the adjustment of many sets of power structures from the federal to the local level, and this year is such a year. Furthermore, some people use the California High Speed ​​Rail as a bargaining chip in order to win.
