Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"In the foreseeable next few years, the status of software will only become more and more important. Don Estelitch made timely adjustments, indicating that he is still very sensitive to the development trend of the personal computer industry." Tang Huan Nodded, "How is the troika he built for the ibm-platform now?"

Regarding the opponent of Giant Blue, Tang Huan showed magnanimity and respect, and did not wait to pull up his sleeves and punch together like his subordinates. This is determined by the status of the business leader.

"After they received ibm's almost nanny level care, the product's function and quality have made great progress, and a new version will be unveiled a few days later."

Speaking of this, Simeone shook his head in distress, "After all, it is impossible for our software research and development to do our best on the ibm-platform to make wedding dresses for them, so the gap is difficult to bridge. And many engineers believe that ibm-development software is destined to have no future. Once "None" and "Wrong" are transferred to the project team there, complaints will be heard."

This is really a problem. Excellent software functions must first of all serve their own hardware platforms.

Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "Anyway, ibm-software development, we can't give up, because this is a gesture of showing strength, proving that Zheru software can appear on any mainstream platform users want."

Looking around the crowd, Tang Huan smiled slightly, got up and wrote a few strokes on the blackboard, "I want to explain to you a concept, that is the entrance. The reason why the category of personal computers appeared in microcomputers is mainly because it can reach thousands of homes. Ten thousand households. And every such device is an entrance."

"Users work, study, and entertain at this node. Over time. A habit will be formed. We can find ways to make users willingly pay for our products, but we cannot ignore their habit. Because, This can be regarded as a kind of life experience and learning accumulation. No one is willing to learn and master the same thing from scratch repeatedly."

Tang Huan, who returned to his seat again, raised his hand and made a gesture, “It is difficult to cover all the nodes in our own Fangyuan computer. But software, a special intellectual product, can become the most extensive entrance. What kind of hardware platform users first think of is that when our various software is best used, the value of the portal will be reflected. Especially with the popularization of the Internet, its meaning will become more important."

All of you here are elites of thousands of choices. Although they have not been baptized by concepts such as portals, Weibo, and smart phone apps in the Internet era, there will be no obstacles to understanding Tang Huan's thoughts.

Everyone carefully tasted Tang Huan's point of view, and the more you pondered, the more you realized that the boss had a thorough understanding of the industry rules. I am afraid that no one in the industry can match this level.

Simeone, who was full of admiration, made a statement, "I will appease the disappointment of the boys in the project team when I go back."

"There is one thing that needs to be taken into consideration. The functions on ibm- can't be better than our own computer, otherwise. That is really turning the cart before the horse." Tang Huan laughed and joked.

After discussing the topic of "entrance" and the PC market for territory for a while, Tang Huan asked, "Does Don Estelic have any other actions?"

"He is still developing the application field of ibm-, and he has recently focused on video games." Hawkins answered first, "but the effect should not be great. After all, the current price of ibm- is not up to the level of Apple's app, especially now Kang Maoda The **** computers in the low-end market stir up the wind and rain, making ibm- as a gaming platform more and more without cost advantage at all."

"The current situation in the video game market is really chaotic. In addition to those completely cross-field manufacturers entering this field, relatives like personal computers also come to join in the fun." Tang Huan shook his head with emotion.

It has to be said that once capital loses its rationality and becomes crazy, it is like a wild horse that has taken off its rein, and it is difficult to control it again.

Regarding the trend of this wave of market, let alone Tang Huan's idea of ​​not saving the market, even if similar thoughts occasionally flashed through, he would deeply feel that in the face of the general trend, any resistance is futile.

The dead daoist does not die the poor dao, as long as ea is prepared for a rainy day and does not make mistakes, he can pass the level safely.

Tang Huan could not express these thoughts and could only hold it in his heart. So after he waved his hand, he dumbly asked about the next topic, the preparations for the exhibition, because the venue in the first half of the year was not in the west. Las Vegas, but New York on the east coast.

Compared with everything before, he had to do everything himself. Now like this kind of affairs, Tang Huan only needs to sit and listen to the report. The only thing that needs to be brainstorming is the few speeches he wants to use.

In the following time, Zheru requisitioned the Silicon Valley One to travel between San Francisco and New York to set up an air corridor for the Silicon Valley and the field. As a result, other companies were not less exposed, and their exhibits were also transported by the extremely powerful Boeing 747. -200 has been consigned to the past, and it has gained favor. Needless to say.

In response, Tang Huan just said lightly, "Silicon Valley One will naturally serve Silicon Valley as much as possible."

After showing this kind of high spirits casually, Tang Huan, who has basically been staying in the R&D center, asked about the progress of many R&D projects one by one, such as the various systems developed for servers/workstations using Yipeng r processors. The most important.

Tang Huan hid in Silicon Valley and immersed himself in his own business. MGM President David Beagleman and United American President Andy Albert became anxious and ran over from Hollywood one after another.

After a violent storm of rectification, MGM’s stubborn illnesses were removed one by one, and all traces of the Kirk Kirkrian era disappeared.

Now even if the veteran gambling king takes MGM back, he can't control it.

However, this kind of "shock therapy" inevitably hurts the bones, and even loses the hearts of the people.

In fact. Kirk Kirklian, who holds 40% of the shares. Before MGM was shot. There was an idea of ​​privatizing MGM, but it ended in failure.

However, Tang Huan gave ample reasons. After sternly repairing MGM, many shareholders who were optimistic about the recovery of the US film industry sold their shares pessimistically.

Coupled with Tang Huan's intentional acquisition, Kirk Kirklian's privatization concept, after he withdrew from MGM, has made significant progress ironically.

Although it is still a long way from the goal of privatization of MGM. But the current distribution of MGM’s shares is much clearer, and it won’t be unreasonable when someone doubts that it is controlled by the Mafia.

In fact, Tang Huan did not really intend to privatize the Lean Camel, which is bigger than MGM. On the contrary, the relatively small-scale Lianmei is actually considered to be privatized.

Tang Huan’s goal of reorganizing MGM’s shares is to simplify the shareholder structure, and it will continue for a period of time, so that when something really happens, various phenomena of inability to contribute to work emerge endlessly.

In the original time and space, MGM was completely finished. In addition to being abused by Kirk Kirklian, it is also because of being played by capital.

Tang Huan didn't want to spend some time after MGM made money under his guidance. There are worms left in the majority shareholders.

MGM’s reforms will continue, but the intensity of adjustment will definitely be much lower than before. After all, some goals have been achieved.

Before David Beagleman came to MGM, he left a professional taint of embezzlement of public funds at Columbia Pictures, so he was not secure in the position of MGM president, especially regardless of his former boss Kirk Kirkley. Ann, as well as the current boss Tang Huan, are very strong, not to mention the oppressive feeling in his heart.

Hearing that Tang Huan had returned to the United States, David Beagleman hurried over to report to his work.

After some adjustments by the professional team appointed by Tang Huan, MGM is currently divided into three parts: mg-MGM traditional business,-MGM TV,-MGM home entertainment.

This is what MGM has left after Kirk Kirklian’s big sale of location venues, recording studios, and even props, furniture and other assets in the 1970s.

At the request of Tang Huan, David Beagleman has recently been mainly busy with MGM Home Entertainment, and has quickly put the video tape business on track.

I have to say that David Beagleman is still quite capable. Tang Huan nodded in deep satisfaction, affirming the other party's work results.

Hollywood’s waters are very deep, and the profits of some movies can be unconsciously reduced by many times. The personal behavior of embezzling public funds is more pediatric than group cheating.

Tang Huan was too lazy to pay attention to David Beagleman's past, as long as the other party can handle the things he has given him now, it will become a more capable president candidate, let's talk about it slowly.

"MGM has finally got a new look now, so let's start with little by little. First, grab the distribution business that was lost before, so that the production of movies and TV can be resumed." Tang Huan, who closed the file casually. , Faintly instructed, "MGM’s previous blockbuster filmmaking tradition, I will re-establish it at an opportunity."

Hearing these last words, David Beagleman couldn't help but feel refreshed. It seems that his career has the hope of recasting glory.

After dismissing the beaming David Beagleman, as if the two had made an appointment, Andy Albert, the president of United States, appeared happily.

The reason why the other party's mood is so high is naturally because after the fiasco of the "Paradise Gate" project last year, Lianmei has recently begun to have a strong recovery momentum.

After evaluating the release film ""-"Four Seasons" selected by Tang Huan, Andy Albert felt that this small-cost romantic comedy with a budget of 6.5 million US dollars was not bad, plus Tang Huan's instructions to "go dim sum", He added a little effort to the release.

As a result, the subsequent box office performance of "Four Seasons" not only stunned him, but also shocked the industry to shatter countless glasses.

The release date of "Four Seasons" is Friday, May 22. As a result, the box office of the first weekend reached more than 12 million US dollars on May 24, and the box office of the second weekend reached 7.5 million US dollars on May 31. The box office of the third weekend On June 7, it broke through 7 million U.S. dollars, ranking first in the US box office for three consecutive weeks.

The box office of more than 12 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend was the highest weekend box office of the year at that time, and was comparable to the blockbuster movie "Indiana Jones" that was released in the middle of this month.

Seeing that the release time is almost a month, the box office of "Four Seasons" is expected to exceed 60 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the shooting budget of 6.5 million U.S. dollars, it is really jealous.

Originally, Andy Albert thought that Tang Huan was because Universal Pictures took the initiative to provoke the copyright lawsuit with ea, and then he took a pity and intercepted several films released by the other party.

Now it seems that countermeasures are certain, but anger may not necessarily be seen.

The boss is extraordinary, no matter what business he is doing, his vision is extremely accurate.

Andy Albert was already quite young, and the more he thought about it, the more he admired, and at the same time, he couldn't help but become more afraid.

But in any case, as long as this success happened within one's own tenure, then the credit can be shared, and the major failure of the previous movie "Heaven's Gate" that had no return in his career, also has the opportunity to make up for himself.

Tang Huan didn't pay much attention to the amazing performance of the dark horse in "Four Seasons". After entering Hollywood, the first thing he must do is to gain a firm foothold, and this requires firm footing.

The last Monday in May every year ~www.readwn.com~ is a legal holiday in the United States-Memorial Day. Officially, it is to cultivate patriotism, while in the private sector, it is regarded as the official start of summer.

Since 1975, Spielberg's blockbuster "Jaws" was successfully operated by Universal Pictures, and the concept of summer files began to appear.

The box office of this period of time, the income of a weekend may be several times higher than that of the off-season, and the competition will naturally become more fierce.

Only after such a baptism can it be considered a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Therefore, Tang Huan is more concerned about how his own production and distribution of "007" will perform in the summer files of strong players like Lin.

Speaking of this aspect, Andy Albert made no secret, and directly admitted that his skills were not as good as others. "According to the previous test screenings and the first weekend box office, we must not be able to compare with "Indiana Jones". Than that." (to be continued...)

Chapter 0320 has a firm foothold in Hollywood:
