Rebirth of the Tech Madman

The lobbying of President Reagan was not all smooth sailing. Although the other side has not launched the "Star Wars Plan" of an arms race against the Soviet Union, various combat methods including blockades and sales restrictions have always been tightly integrated one after another. High-tech products can't fall behind. 【For more wonderful novels, please visit www.wuruo.com】

"In fact, the personal computer products of companies such as Apple and Compass are not uncommon in the Eastern European market." Tang Huan smiled and reminded Reagan that his company was treated differently.

"But your Fangyuan personal computer has the strongest performance." Tang Huan's identity is qualified for Reagan to be a "great communicator".

"Actually, a personal computer is just an ordinary consumer product, just like a TV. Could it be that the TV is also included in the restricted sales list." Tang Huan shook his head disapprovingly.

Reagan laughed, "Don, if you don't have a more adequate reason, I think this topic can end here, and the dinner Nancy carefully prepared will begin."

Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn’t help but raised his brows. As the President of the United States, Reagan’s schedule was not generally compact. It was not easy to find such an easy period of time to specifically discuss the issue of lifting the ban on the sale of Fangyuan’s personal computers. Thanks to the help of the first lady, Nancy.

"Well, let's talk about the powerful performance of Fangyuan personal computer." Tang Huan pondered for a moment. "Let me first talk about the desktop publishing system. Its appearance greatly reduces the difficulty of working in news publications, even by one person. I am running a newspaper. Your Excellency will certainly know what such convenience means for freedom of speech."

Reagan thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Tang, I have to say that your reason has convinced me, but it still needs necessary discussions to make a decision."

"Perhaps, I need to hire a special lobbying team in Washington." Tang Huan hissed slightly.

Now that a breakthrough was found, the next meeting became more relaxed, but the atmosphere of the dinner party afterwards went slightly wrong. Ronald Prescott Reagan, the rebellious Ronald Prescott Reagan, the youngest son of Reagan and Nancy, lost his original flavor, and he didn't know where the other party came from.

By all accounts, Ronald Prescott Reagan, the youngest member of the first family in the United States, is not even twenty-five years old this year. In pursuit of individuality, Reagan was energetic and active. There was really no way for the old Reagan to be overly old.

Seeing the real life of the first family, Tang Huan feels interesting. In this state of mind, his enthusiasm was not affected. After the meal, he stood up and said his goodbyes.

When he opened the door of the car, Ronald Prescott Reagan approached and asked with interest. "Tang, I heard that you and Woz, another founder of Apple Computer, sponsored several million dollars for a music festival?"

"There is such a thing." Tang Huan nodded slightly, and asked back, "Why, are you interested in it?"

"Of course." Ronald Prescott Reagan scratched his hair, "but I don't know what to do."

The child was rebellious and rebellious, but he was still honest. After a secret comment, Tang Huan smiled and took out a business card and handed it over. "Then try more, you can go to the organizing committee to observe."

"I must go." Ronald Prescott Reagan happily took the business card.

...

After Tang Huan made arrangements in Washington, he left for New York to visit his uncle Han Anyuan, who had already entered Columbia University to study.

As the center of the eastern United States. Zheru, Fangyuan Computer, and ea have fully established their branches in New York. Tang Huan has a more convenient place to stay here. Han Anyuan, who has just arrived and is unfamiliar with his birthplace, also has a lot of light along with it.

"How about it, are you still used to the environment here?" Tang Huan quipped.

"It doesn't matter whether you are used to it or not." Han Anyuan laughed lazily, "I don't know if I don't come out. Your kid has a good scenery outside."

"Together." Tang Huan lifted Erlang's legs, "If you have nothing else, I will go to discuss business."

"Let's go, I don't have to worry about you here." Han Anyuan waved his hand.

Tang Huan went to the East Coast this time and was really busy. The schedule was fully arranged. The next stop was that he was invited by Tedturner—Ted Turner to visit CNN in Atlanta, Georgia. Headquarters.

I have to say that Ted Turner is a man with a very good story. In 1962, at the age of 24, he inherited the inheritance of his suicidal father. In 1970, he bought a TV station in Atlanta and founded the Turner System-Turner Broadcasting Company. , Began his journey to the media kingdom.

This time, Tang Huan was invited here, but Ted Turner had many goals.

Compared with the traditional three major TV networks, the young cable news network is still very thin, for example, in terms of program sources, it is relatively scarce.

Although there are companies such as Lianmei and MGM producing entertainment programs for it, it is far from enough.

As a result, Ted Turner focused on Lianmei and MGM, especially the latter's huge film library, and started the idea of ​​an overall package acquisition.

In response, Tang Huan just smiled and shook his head. He is not short of money. Moreover, MGM’s largest shareholder is the Kuwait Investment Authority, which has just been reorganized from the Kuwait Investment Commission in London, England this year. It is even more financially strong. There is no need to do such a thing of killing chickens and eggs.

What's more, in the original time and space, MGM suffered a copyright robbery like this, and it was very hurt.

Ted Turner’s impression of Tang Huan was originally that his business strategy was very flexible, but he didn’t expect it to be so rigid now. There was no sign of letting go. In the end he had no choice but to shake his head, "Well, let’s forget about it. Let's talk about the next thing. CNN plans to set up a branch in San Francisco within this year. You, the local snake, can help a lot."

"It's not a problem, everyone supports each other." Tang Huan nodded slightly.

"By the way, I heard your marketing staff say that in addition to the cable transmission data solution, you also have a satellite transmission data solution?" Ted Turner switched to this topic enthusiastically.

Originally in time and space, on August 30, 1995, CNN launched its own news website, which is also known as the first news website on the Internet.

This shows how enthusiastic this media is for high-tech applications.

"This solution was developed to enable Wal-Mart's various branches and headquarters to establish more timely data connections." Tang Huan smiled playfully, "Do you want to use it too? Essentially, it's all data transmission. Let Cable News The text news of the Internet flows between the headquarters and the branches, which is completely achievable. The digital method has such an advantage. After the news release is transmitted from one place to another, it can be edited on the manuscript with the Fangyuan computer. . Far more efficient than fax mode."

"I'm really touched." Ted Turner smiled, "You always have advanced and practical gadgets."

After discussing Ted Turner's needs, Tang Huan asked casually: "To survive and develop in the cracks of the traditional three major television networks, the pressure on CNN is not small, right?"

"In my opinion, this is a driving force to move forward." Ted Turner's face showed pride. "The White House's press interview seat has been won. This is proof."

Tang Huan smiled noncommitantly, "I still admire the news reporting method of CNN, but there is still a lack of an iconic brand established through heavyweight interviews and reports."

"Last year's president's assassination incident was intensively reported by CNN, and the response was good. Isn't this considered a brand establishment?" Ted Turner asked disapprovingly.

"Of course not, because it lacks the live news characteristics that CNN has always advertised." Tang Huan replied bluntly. "After all, the incident happened suddenly, and the cable news network, which was only established recently, was far from doing as well as the traditional three major TV networks at the time due to its shallow qualifications."

"Then, CNN will continue to report on your treasure hunting fleet to search for the Titanic, and it is considered satisfactory." Ted Turner joked, "Of course, if you can find the big ship as you wish, It's even more sensational in news reports."

"But this kind of reporting is not difficult at all. If you switch to other media, you can do the same." Tang Huan unceremoniously expressed his opinion, "If you can do what you can, that means having your own brand. ."

Ted Turner was a little stunned by what Tang Huan said. "Then according to your standards, what should CNN do? Could it be that you have any good suggestions?"

"If the suggestion is good, it depends on what you mean." Tang Huan said leisurely: "What do you think will be the effect of CNN's participation in the live news report of a modern war?"

Ted Turner was dumbfounded for a moment. Then he murmured to himself: "Time magazine is right, you are really a whimsical person."

"Why, don't you think it is too difficult and operability is not high?" Tang Huan shrugged.

"That's not entirely..." Ted Turner pondered for a long time, and then asked, "What is the goal? Don't talk about the Iran-Iraq War, and other conflicts in the Middle East, what happened over there. In the eyes of many people, it is nothing new."

Tang Huan asked Ted Turner to find a world map, and pointed at the bottom right, "This is it."

Seeing Ted Turner's some doubts, Tang Huan explained carefully: "My friend has a lot of business in Argentina, so I learned a lot about the situation there."

"Is it the Greek female ship king Christina?" In an instant, Ted Turner's eyes began to flash with gossip sparks.

"By tracking the privacy of others, CNN cannot compete with the three traditional news networks." Tang Huan knocked on the table angrily.

"You continue talking." Ted Turner hurriedly smiled and made a please gesture.

“In the past 1981, Argentina’s inflation rate reached more than 600%, GDP fell by 11.4%, manufacturing output fell by 22.9%, and wages grew by only 19.2%. In such a severe economic situation, the country’s national politics The satisfaction of the government naturally decreased, and the Federation of Trade Unions received more and more domestic support in Argentina, so it decided to launch a long-term general strike."

Having said this, Tang Huan’s eyes were shining brightly, and he pointed at the map again, “In order to deal with the serious domestic economic situation and social conflicts, the Argentine military and government government headed by President Galtieri has a great possibility. Choosing to divert the focus of the public through the war with the United Kingdom for the Malvinas Islands, with the result of its victory, just like the collective honor brought by the Argentine national team winning the championship at their own door in the 1978 World Cup Sensation, the same as diverting the public’s attention."

"That's it..." Ted Turner's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be distracted.

"Are you listening to me?" Tang Huan knocked on the table again dissatisfied.

"Of course I'm listening." Ted Turner made a haha, concealing the embarrassment just now, "I was thinking, your analysis is so reasonable, I seem to be able to do something in the investment market."

"As long as you want, I can take you to play two games in the international futures market." Tang Huan snorted, "Of course, you have to be willing to take the corresponding capital risks."

"That said, you have already done something." Ted Turner's eyes lit up, "No wonder you are so rich and there are so many ways to get money."

"We can talk about this topic later, let's discuss the possible live news reports of CNN, right?" Tang Huan knocked on the table for the third time ~www.readwn.com~Of course. "Ted Turner, who nodded repeatedly, finally returned his gaze to the map. "If such a war really happens and the cable news network is reporting on the spot, it will naturally be a blockbuster. "

"Then make secret preparations in advance as soon as possible. Even if the war does not break out, you will not be unable to pay for this expenditure." Tang Huan urged a little impatiently.

In the early 1990s in the original time and space, CNN’s live coverage of the Gulf War attracted the attention of the world, and its international reputation has been significantly improved.

Tang Huan felt that he was applying a successful model to help CNN break out of the tacit encirclement of the traditional three major television networks, but Ted Turner was a little bit weak, which really made him unhappy.

After discussing for a while, Ted Turner looked at Tang Huan and asked earnestly, “It’s not profitable that you can’t get it early. As a smart person like you, while helping CNN, it’s impossible not to help yourself. Good thing, you have to tell me honestly, otherwise, I am a little uneasy." (To be continued.)
