Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"Do you know what I want?" Jobs kicked the ball back knowingly.

Tang Huan smiled and said, "Isn't it just re-taking the charge of Apple Computer, so that people all over the world are so surprised that their jaws fall to the ground."

"I didn't think so much, but I felt that it would be a shame if Apple really fell into the abyss." Jobs pretended to defend, showing a nonchalant look.

"Now, Apple's products do not have the price-performance ratio of popular eyeballs, nor the stunning features of nostalgia, and there is almost no merit-it is not bad luck, who is bad luck?" Tang Huan said. While watching Jobs, "If you really take charge of Apple again, what will you do to return to the sky?"

Speaking of this, Tang Huan joked: "Is it possible to embrace nc and become a gravedigger for pc? If so, it would be a feat!"

"I know, you don't regard nc as a real opponent." Jobs replied solemnly: "Moreover, our understanding of pc has similarities, that is, it has a lot of room for development."

"If this is the case, why don't you take action?" Tang Huanwan said, "At present, Apple's stock price has been falling all the way, which is a good opportunity to lie in an ambush."

"The problem is, I don't want to take a hostile takeover and return to Apple Computer; but I can't think of another way." Jobs showed a distressed look on his face, "So, I came to you to see if There is no reference to choose from."

Tang Huan didn't break Jobs' mentality of "being a watch and building a memorial". After thinking about it for a moment, he turned to ask: "Then next company, what do you plan to do?"

Jobs directly replied: "You also know my business philosophy, that is,'software and hardware come from one company.' Although the software business of next company is still passable, it is farther and farther away from my original vision."

"So, if the conditions are right, I want to sell Next."

"Why, Tang, are you interested in next company?"

"I don't have so much time. Haven't I ever asked about the next company's affairs in these years?" Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand. "I'm thinking, I don't know if it's a coincidence. , Next and Apple are complementary to each other."

"Apple's latest version of the operating system system_8, originally supposed to announce the research and development results in March of this year, but the appointment was missed."

"As far as I know, the reason is that system_8 is developing and stuffing new features at the same time, which eventually leads to the collapse of the product's project management."

"I dare to pack a ticket. Under the dilemma that Apple is currently in, there is basically no possibility of recovery for system_8."

"In this way, if Apple wants its hardware products to run as expected, it has only one way to go by outsourcing the operating system."

"Don't you think the way the two companies merge and Apple will'please' you back is meaningful enough?"

Jobs immediately slapped his thigh, "I like the opportunity Tang described."

"But..." Tang Huan coughed slightly, interrupting Jobs's imagination, "It is not difficult to imagine that even if the operating system is outsourced, Apple has multiple options. For example, after you, Jean-Louis Garcy, who took charge of the mac department, After leaving Apple, I also took away a group of people, and created a company called'be', which was dedicated to multimedia applications and developed an operating system called'beos'-as far as I know, the performance is excellent. "

When he heard the name Jean-Louis Garcy, Jobs's face suddenly became gloomy.

Gein, when he fought with John Sculley, he once regarded the other party as a trustworthy person who can be drawn to, and even confided his plan to launch a coup to seize power.

As a result, they turned their heads, informed John Sculley, and got the position of the head of the mac department that was vacated after Jobs was driven away.

Now, I didn't expect the two to have a conflict with each other on a narrow road.

"Yes, thanks to the deep relationship between me and Jean-Louis Gassi and Apple, the two operating systems nextstep and beos should be prioritized as selection targets." Jobs said slowly: "But compared to Jean-Louis Garcy, Apple must be more reluctant to accept me."

"It must be admitted that you want to use a'gentle' way to regain the management rights of the company you created. The many benefits including the regaining of the hearts and minds are too numerous to list." Tang Huan muttered: "The more it is, the more it is. It should be carefully planned. My suggestion is that nextstep should pay more attention to the support of Apple’s powerpc architecture, and at the same time, patiently observe Apple’s developments and wait for opportunities to intervene."

"Of course, I can also contribute a little to the side."

"Then what do you want in return?" Jobs asked bluntly.

"No need-your friendship, I already have it." Tang Huan smiled slightly. "The development process of nextstep in technology and the relationship with philosophers in the past few years are clear to everyone. In addition, I am just like you. I have a special feeling for Apple."

After thinking about it for a while, Jobs chose to trust Tang Huan's explanation of motivation. After all, Apple has always been a foil for these years, and there is not much threat to speak of-perhaps it is precisely because of this that it has the value of existence in front of the powerful Fangyuan personal computer.

…

After dismissing Steve Jobs, who had been thinking about it, Tang Huan took a look at the summary of the work of this Spring Developer Conference of Philosophers.

Similar to the launch of the three musketeers of website development—dreamweaver and fireworks, the operating system has begun to officially supply OEM versions to computer manufacturers.

It can be said that before this year's ipo, Zheru Software has a "pragmatic" layout in terms of products, and it has all been put in place.

It is very interesting to hit the Wall Street of it companies such as Lotus, Apple, and Microsoft. It is preparing to turn August this year into a Silicon Valley-themed feast-by then, Zheru Software, which was split last year, and Netscape, which was also established last year, will be listed on the Nasdaq all the way.

In Tang Huan's view, the value of Zheru Software is the same as that of Lucent, which is being spun off from AT&T. It is full of gold. Ipo is not a question of how much financing, but how to set a record of money, so there is no need to worry about it.

As for Netscape, there may be an amazing performance, but that's all.

After listening to Brad Svolberg's report, Tang Huan asked about the recent activities of the professional rescue team funded by the Shennong Foundation.

Just at 9:02 am on April 19 this year, a bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in the downtown area took place in Oklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma. A total of 168 people were killed and more than 680 were injured. 324 buildings in 16 blocks were damaged or destroyed. 86 vehicles were burned or destroyed by shock waves, shattering the glass of 258 nearby buildings. A total of at least $652 million worth of damage was caused, which shocked the United States.

The Oklahoma City bombing was the most serious terrorist attack on the United States so far-of course, this was before the September 11 attacks in 2001 in the original time and space.

Unlike the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that was planned and launched by foreigners, the Oklahoma City bombing was committed by the United States itself.

Only 90 minutes after the explosion, the Oklahoma State Patrol stopped the culprit of driving an unlicensed vehicle, Timothy James McVeigh, and arrested him on suspicion of illegally carrying a gun. Other accomplices were also picked up-the efficiency of solving the case is amazing.

According to Timothy James McVay’s account, this veteran who had participated in the Gulf War hated the federal government. He believed that the Ruby Ridge incident in 1992 and the Waco tragedy in 1993 were mishandled, so he was in the Waco tragedy. On the day of the end of the two-year anniversary, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which has 14 federal agencies including the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Administration of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms, and Explosives, and the Social Security Administration , Launching a long-planned attack.

Built in 1977, this nine-story building named after a federal judge of the same name also has a children’s day care center—19 children out of 168 victims, 15 of them are in this children’s day care center in.

Firefighter Chris Field holding a photo of the baby Berry Almon who died in a nearby hospital not long after was reprinted by the world and became a symbol of the bombing.

The professional rescue team of the Shennong Foundation, with long-term battles and experience, rushed to the scene of the incident as soon as possible. At around 19:00 that evening, rescued a 15-year-old girl from the bottom of the collapsed building. This was also the day of the incident. The last survivor rescued.

At the same time, medical experts from the Shennong Foundation’s professional rescue team joined the victim identification team and used X-ray scans, dental examinations, fingerprint recognition, blood tests, and DNA tests to park in a temporary morgue set up at the scene. The remains of all 168 victims were identified.

In recent years, the research institutes funded by the Shennong Foundation have made outstanding achievements in genetic engineering. Therefore, they have provided the most secure identification technical support in DNA testing.

It is precisely because of this accuracy that a broken leg was found to be inconsistent with the identified victim, and there was a speculation that there might still be the 169th undiscovered victim.

Rescue is a very dangerous job. For example, a nurse died because he was hit in the head by earth and rocks.

In the process of visiting his professional rescue team, the richest man expressed his high respect to all members including the search and rescue dogs, and also reaffirmed the value of high-tech by the way.

But that's all. The harm has been caused, especially those innocent children—for the government, it is nothing more than being slapped with a whip, passively introducing targeted prevention policies, and they may even be taken. Come as the promoter of a certain political goal.

…

The richest man was busy outside, and a small situation suddenly appeared at home-some of the little guys among the sons of Tang had symptoms of discomfort.

According to the family doctor’s diagnosis, the media has scared the children with the brutal images in the overwhelming reports of the deaths of many children. They are symptoms of mild post-traumatic stress and stress syndrome, so they can be guided.

The richest man who breathed a sigh of relief couldn't help being a little speechless-isn't it just because the media has exaggerated that his children are so vulnerable?

With this doubt, the richest man immediately funded a study that included 50,000 students to provide psychological services. UU reading www.uukanshu.com found that even if there is no connection with the victims of the bombing, there are still many junior high schools. And high school students, deeply shocked by the incident, have some problems; in contrast, those students who are connected to the victims of the bombing have a much worse situation. Many people have post-traumatic responses. Exciting obstacles.

Tang Huan shook his head, but no matter what, the money has already been spent, so you might as well propose a proposal on this basis. This is also a rare opportunity to exert political influence.

…

In fact, in addition to this expectation, the richest man has already planned to exert his political influence.

This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In May, relevant countries have successively launched massive commemorative activities to showcase their historical contributions.

Among them, although the United States, Britain, and France are the protagonists, Russia will hold a grander celebration. At the same time, Karma will invite the heads of state of more than fifty countries to watch the military parade.

In response to this theme, Tang Daheng specially arranged for the production of two films-"The Wind Whisperer" and "The Fall of Xiangjiang", directed by Wu Yusen and Wang Jing respectively.

Among them, the former is invested by Twentieth Century Fox, while the latter is a form of independent investment.

In view of the creativity of these two occasions, the corresponding original time-space movie either failed or simply could not be put on the stage. Tang Daheng must arrange for manpower to optimize it.

The main problem with "The Wind Whisperer" at that time was that it was untimely catching up with the anti-terrorism trend of "September 11" and the high production cost. As for the film itself, it was normal for it to be complained.

However, "The Fall of Xiangjiang", which was viewed as a "restricted film", needs major changes so as not to ruin the good intentions.
