Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

In fact, in addition to the time advantage that Tang Huan has the advantage of getting the first move with his foresight, he also has another time advantage, that is, those big guys who can truly be worthy of his wrist tend to be old-fashioned and even obey the nature. Let go one step in advance regularly.

Recently, there has been such a person-Time Warner CEO Steve Rose, because of complications of prostate cancer, treatment was ineffective, bid farewell to the world, at the age of 65.

Compared with the average life expectancy of American elites, Steve Rose is definitely considered "died young", and he immediately poured out the position of Time Warner's top leader after countless intrigues.

You know, this media giant, hailed by analysts as the product of a perfect cross-industry marriage, can only be described as the success of the resource integration process after the merger, so that it has become the world's largest in just two or three years. , The most profitable media group.

The departure of Steve Rose, a business man, is equivalent to proclaiming the end of an era, and the richest man is quite embarrassed about this.

The grievance between the two began with the fierce competition between Atari and ea in the field of home video game consoles; with the collapse of the North American video game industry in 1983, the golden age of one-year sales of billions or even billions of dollars ended. Warner was dragged down by the serious loss of Atari and complained, so Steve Ross bit his head and came to Tang Huan to solve the problem. The two sides ended the conflict, and the well water kept a safe distance from the river, and it has been maintained to this day. .

"Steve Rose still failed to survive until 1994 and watch the 15th World Cup in the United States." Tang Huan shook his head regretfully.

Steve Rose has played an important role in the promotion of football in the United States in addition to Hollywood and Wall Street.

As we all know, in the United States, the most successful professional commercial game is football; followed by baseball, the NBA basketball that the Chinese are familiar with, and it also competes with ice hockey for third place; as for football, it is compared to the majors in Europe. The degree of development of the league is not an exaggeration to describe it as a desert.

As early as 1971, Steve Rose participated in the creation of the New York Cosmos team. From all over the world, the Internet includes Brazilian "ball kings" Billy, John Cruyff, and Franz Beckenbauer. Many famous players have become the strongest team in the North American Football League, winning a total of 5 championships.

However, in the face of fierce competition from the "Big Four" of the National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, and National Hockey League, it is not easy for the North American Football League to get ahead.

Also in 1983, when the North American video game industry collapsed, the New York Cosmos team suffered a serious loss due to insufficient income. The team was weakened and its performance plummeted. It was disbanded in 1985 and only the football school was retained.

Even more tragic is that the North American Football League, which was founded in the 1970s and the only professional football league in the United States, closed down in 1984. The commercial promotion of football in the United States suddenly fell into a trough, so that when Colombia gave up hosting the 1986 World Cup football game due to the economic crisis, the United States could not compete with Mexico, which was rebuilt after the capital earthquake.

Fortunately, the active running of rich people like Steve Rose did not go in vain, and FIFA was also reluctant to give up the huge commercial market of the United States, so under great pressure, at the Zurich meeting in Switzerland in 1988, the 1994 The right to host the World Cup in 2015 was given to the United States, which no longer has any professional football leagues.

In the original time and space, in the 1994 World Cup in the United States, the average attendance was very high, approaching 69,000 people per game. Four years later, the level of success was not comparable to the French World Cup, which expanded from 24 teams to 32 teams.

It is a pity that Steve Rose not only let Time Warner go in this way, but also gave up the 1994 World Cup football game in the United States and the bullish results of football in the United States to others.

Tang Huan's sports industry is actively participating in the creation of the latest national professional football league-Major League Soccer. Depending on the progress, it will be done next year.

As for the football club, Tang Huan intends to put it in Los Angeles, which has a much larger population than San Francisco, and even named it as Los Angeles Galaxy.

As for the players, it’s better. The two major clubs in Europe, AC Milan and Chelsea, will inevitably retire a group of top stars, follow the predecessors like "Ball King" Pele, and go to the United States to promote football without delay in attracting money. , Come happily.

Tang Wenmao said: "When Steve Rose was alive, he had a lot of friends. When the New York Cosmos team was the most prosperous, Barbara Streisand, Phil Collins, Mick Jagger, Robert Redford, Mohamed Ali , Quincy Jones, Andy Warhol, Henry Kissinger, Stephen Spielberg, etc., countless celebrities, are all guests, and considering their deep Jewish background, the funeral specifications are affirmative Can't be low."

"In addition, in recent years, Ted Turner has always been interested in Time Warner, and Time Warner’s response is also proactive. The chances of a successful marriage between the two parties are extremely high. De Turner has one less competitor on the board."

"Time Warner's top position is not so easy to grab, and Ted Turner can't even catch Barry Diller, the CEO. I really don't expect him to reach the top as he wants." Tang Huan shook his head and turned to Asked: "By the way, didn't you come to tell me about McCaw's Cellular Phone Company?"

"As you expected, McCaw Cellular Phone Company failed to survive the severe winter of the mobile phone industry accompanied by the economic recession, and its stock price fell to $20, less than half of the peak period."

Tang Wenmao quickly returned to the subject and preached: "Before, Craig McCaw sold 33% of McCaw Cellular Telephone Company to AT&T for US$3.8 billion in order to gain support from the other party; now, AT&T The company simply bought out McCaw's Cellular Phone Company for US$11.5 billion. However, although Craig McCaw sadly quit the company he founded, the McCaw family received US$2.6 billion from the huge transaction. , It's worth it."

"Typically you can beat the country, you can't sit in the country." Tang Huan snorted disdainfully, "It is not impossible to cooperate with a large company like AT&T, but you must have matching wisdom and skills. Okay, I was picked directly by others."

"In this way, Datang Mobile Communications Company is directly competing face-to-face with AT&T." Tang Wenmao reminded without worry.

"We are not the only competitor of AT&T. What's to be afraid of?" Tang Huan waved his hand disapprovingly. "Datang Mobile Communications' ally has Pacific Telecom in the country and mci in the United States. There is a loophole. Besides, the economic recession of this cycle is about to pass. The resurgent market will provide enough room for everyone to survive."

Speaking of it, Bush, who was defeated in the U.S. election, was really wronged. Not long after the election results came out, the latest economic data showed that the severely declining U.S. economy began to show signs of improvement. No wonder the Republican Party jumped up and down. Not convinced.

In fact, although the Democrats won the U.S. election and ended the Republican Party’s 12 consecutive years in power, Bill Clinton’s data was only 43% compared to the majority of the popular vote when Reagan and Bush Sr. won. , More than half of the distance is still not a small distance.

This phenomenon shows that the current American society and politics is still dominated by conservatives, and Bill Clinton’s governance path may not be smooth.

However, the necessary political promoters for the development of Internet commerce are still in place unaffected. After all, the drive for interests can no longer be stopped.

After understanding the situation, Tang Huan got up and said: "There was originally a meeting with the Bush family, but now there is an extra funeral for the great figure Steve Rose. Some are busy. Go, take advantage of this gap. , How about going to see "The Bourne" starring Li Lianjie?"

As soon as he got downstairs, Tang Huan saw Jin Jie and Jin Yan, holding the pizza box and hurriedly walking back.

"Why, are you not going to have dinner?" Tang Huan scolded: "You are at your age when you are growing up, so you can't be picky eaters."

The youngest Jin Yan replied in a panic: "Brother Jinying and Jin Jia said that this is a treat for everyone."

Tang Huan frowned and asked, "What are you tossing about recently, why did I hear that it seems to be occupying an office?"

"How dare to occupy, we have discussed it, and temporarily borrow the Internet access point there for a few days for technical research." Jin Jie winked Jin Yan quietly and took the conversation to explain.

"The pizza is getting cold. Dad, I won't tell you more." Jin Yan turned his head and ran away.

"How do I feel that these bear kids are sneaking in and don't seem to be doing good things." Tang Huan muttered to himself looking at the backs of Jinjie and Jinyan.

"Children at this age have already begun to have little secrets." Tang Wenmao smiled: "What's more, our little sons of the Tang family are all precocious. After returning from Europe this time, Jin Chang and Jin Ge have already taken the initiative to go to the sports club below. , Find an errand, and get serious about it."

Towards the end of the year, official duties became more and more onerous, and Tang Huan didn't bother to pay too much attention to the mischief of these little gangsters. He nodded, and as the driver opened the door, he got into the car.

...

In this version of "The Bourne Duty", in addition to Li Lianjie playing the leading actor, Zhong Chuhong also played a key role of the CIA agent, although she did not have many scenes. It was her first time to test the waters in Hollywood.

In recent years, Zhong Chuhong has been a bit "lazy" in accepting plays. The reason is that Xiangjiang's film industry has a tendency to be broken, commercial films are a bit boring, and the market has the final say-the big ticket warehouse on Baodao, more Lin Qingxian and Wang Zuxian are willing to see female artists from Baodao appear on the big screen. For this reason, they are overwhelmed with work.

In fact, Lin Qingxian is also picking films, such as his admiration for the King of Sunglasses, but in the entertainment industry, some friendships are always unavoidable. For example, he declined this year and starred in "The Legend of the Deer and the Dragon II: Shenlong Cult".

As a result, this one was piled up with Zhou Xingchi. Movies with popular celebrities such as Lin Qingxian, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Jiaxin, etc., on Treasure Island surely attracted more money than the "Deer Tripod" that was released two months ago, with the box office approaching NT$100 million.

It can be said that now I want to be an actor rather than a star suitor. I am a bit alienated from the impetuous entertainment circle of Xiangjiang. Besides, as a confidant of the richest man, there is no financial pressure. Zhong Chuhong, who is straightforward, is even more lazy to socialize. His latest Hong Kong film is "Across the World" which was released last year and directed by Wu Yusen, and it is also the two leading actors of Zhou Runfa and Leslie Cheung. They used favor together to draw her in. Crew.

"The Bourne Shadows" has already arranged the schedule before Christmas, and Tang Huan came over and watched it directly.

Jet Li's fierce fighting moves on the screen made the knowledgeable richest man nod and said to his heart-this is definitely a unique feature of Hollywood.

...

Jinjie and Jinyan have dealt with their father's interrogation~www.readwn.com~ they found Jinying and Jinjia out of breath, and asked eagerly: "How is it?"

Jin Jia strained her face, and replied murderously: "This is the last stronghold of the other party, we must completely kill them!"

"We are currently on the military network. We must fight quickly to avoid being discovered and causing trouble." Jinjie reminded: "On the road just now, we met Dad."

"What are you afraid of? I missed the sky, and my dad will make it up." Jin Yan smiled and put the two pizzas into Jin Ying and Jin Jia's hands, not at all like a good baby.

While eating pizza, Jinying confidently pointed to a large number of monitor screens and said, "With our brother's technology, how could it be discovered?"

"That's right." He wiped his greasy hands, jumped on the chair, knocked on the keyboard, and joined the battle group.

Jinjie shook his head, and quickly sat down in his seat, so as to end this secret hacker war that had been going on for several days as soon as possible.

...

Tang Huan was busy outside. Tang Wenmao suddenly hurried over and reported in a low voice: “It’s broken. I don’t know what happened. Jinying, Jinjie, Jinjia, and Jinyan were involved in a hacker intrusion into the military’s network. After investigating the incident, the FBI locked the names of their four brothers based on the access records of the computer room."

"I have a hunch that these little things are causing trouble." Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, "Isn't it rough over there."

"Of course they dare not." Tang Wenmao nodded, "However, it is better to say hello from above on this matter."

The richest man thought for a while, picked up the phone, dialed out, and said: "...The dog is stubborn and has caused some trouble, please Haihan..."
