In fact, in addition to Tang Huan's time advantage of being the first to strike with his foresight, he also has another time advantage, that is, those big guys who can really be worthy of wrestling with him are often dying, and even obey the laws of nature and die one step ahead of schedule.

Recently, there was such a person - Time Warner CEO Steve? Rose, because of complications from prostate cancer, was ineffective and said goodbye to this world at the age of 65.

Compared to the average life expectancy of the American elite, Steve? Rose can definitely be regarded as "dying young", and suddenly vacated the position of Time Warner's number one position that was obtained after countless intrigues.

You must know that this media giant, which has been praised by analysts as the product of a perfect cross-industry marriage, has become the world's largest and most profitable media group in just two or three years.

Steve? The departure of Ross, a business tycoon, is equivalent to announcing the end of an era, and the richest man is quite embarrassed about this.

The feud between the two began with a bitter rivalry between Atari and EA in the field of home video game consoles; With the collapse of the North American video game industry in 1983, ending the golden age of billions or even billions of dollars in annual sales, Warner was dragged down by Atari, which was seriously loss-making. Ross stubbornly came to Tang Huan to solve the problem, and the two sides ended the conflict, and the well water did not violate the river water and kept a safe distance, and it has been maintained to this day.

"Steve? Rose still didn't make it to 1994 to watch the 15th World Cup in the United States. Tang Huan shook his head regretfully.

Steve? In addition to Hollywood and Wall Street, Ross also played an important role in the promotion of football in the United States.

As we all know, in the United States, the most successful professional business game, the first to promote rugby; Then there is baseball, which is well-known as NBA basketball, and it has to compete with ice hockey for the third place; As for football, compared to the degree of development of the major European leagues, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a desert.

Back in 1971, Steve? Rose co-founded the New York Cosmos, and brought many famous stars from all over the world, including Brazilian "football king" Pele, John Cruyff, Franz Beckenbauer, etc., to become the strongest team in the North American football league, winning a total of 5 championships.

It's just that in the face of the fierce competition of the "Big Four" of the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, and the 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 suffered serious losses due to insufficient income, and then weakened their strength, and their results plummeted, and they announced their disbandment in 1985, leaving only the football school.

Even more tragically, the North American Soccer League, the only professional soccer league in the United States founded in the 1970s, collapsed in 1984. The commercial promotion of soccer in the United States fell into such a low ebb, that when Colombia abandoned the 1986 World Cup due to economic crisis, the United States failed to compete with Mexico, which was in the process of rebuilding after the earthquake in the capital.

Good thing, like Steve? The active campaigning of these rich people in Ross was not in vain, and FIFA was reluctant to give up the huge commercial market of the United States, so under great pressure, at the Zurich Conference in Switzerland in 1988, the right to host the 1994 World Cup football tournament was given to the United States, which no longer had any professional football league.

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

It's a pity, Steve? As soon as Rose left, he not only let go of Time Warner, but also gave up the 1994 U.S. World Cup and the bullish results of football in the United States to others.

Tang Huan's sports industry is actively involved in the creation of the newest national professional soccer league, Major League Soccer, and it will be done next year, depending on how it goes.

As for the football club, Tang Huan plans to put it in Los Angeles, which has a much larger population than San Francisco, and even has a name, it will be called the Los Angeles Galaxy

As for the players, it's even better, the two major clubs in Europe, AC Milan and Chelsea, inevitably retire a group of top stars, follow the predecessors like the "football king" Pele, and go to the United States to promote football without delaying and absorbing money, and they are happy to come.

Tang Wenmao said: "Steve? When Ross was alive, he traveled extensively, and when the New York Cosmos team was at its most prosperous, Barbra Streisand, Phil Collins, Mick Jagger, Robert Redford, Muhammad Ali, Quincy Jones, Andy Warhol, Henry Kissinger, Steven Spielberg, etc., countless celebrities were all guests, and considering his deep Jewish background, the funeral must not be of a low standard. ”

In addition, in recent years, Ted Turner has been interested in Time Warner, and Time Warner's response can be called proactive, and the two parties have a very good chance of a successful marriage. Steve? Rose's death has left Ted Turner with one less competitor on the board. ”

"Time Warner's number one position is not so easy to grab, and Ted Turner can't even hold Barry Diller as the CEO, and I really don't think he can make it to the top." Tang Huan shook his head and asked instead, "By the way, didn't you come to tell me about the McCaw Cellular Phone Company?" ”

"As you might expect, McCaw Cellular didn't survive the recession that accompanied the mobile phone industry's winter, and its stock price fell to $20 at one point, less than half of its peak."

Tang Wenmao hurriedly got back to business: "Previously, Craig McCaw sold 33% of the shares of McCaw Cellular Telephone Company to AT&T for $3.8 billion, in order to get the support of the other party; Now, AT&T has simply bought out McCaw Cellular for $11.5 billion. But while Craig McCaw dropped out of the company he founded, the McCaw family got a share of $2.6 billion from the deal, which was worth it. ”

"Typically, you can fight the country, but you can't sit on the country." Tang Huan snorted disdainfully, "It's not impossible to cooperate with a big company like AT&T, but you also have to have matching wisdom and skill, now it's okay, the peaches were directly picked by others." ”

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

"AT&T's competitors are not the only ones, so what is there to be afraid of?" Tang Huan waved his hand disapprenously, "Datang Mobile Communications Company's allies have Pacific Telecom in the local area and MCI in the United States, and there are no loopholes. Moreover, the recession of this cycle is about to pass. The recovery of the market will provide everyone with enough room for survival. ”

Speaking of which, the elder Bush, who lost in the US election, was really wronged, and not long after the election results came out, the latest economic data showed that the US economy, which was in serious recession, began to show signs of improvement, no wonder the Republican ~ Republican Party jumped up and down and was not convinced.

In fact, although the Democratic ~ Main Party won the US election, ending the Republican Party's 12 consecutive years in power, compared with the previous Reagan and Bush victories when more than half of the popular vote support, Bill Clinton's figure is only 43%, which is still far from more than half.

This phenomenon shows that the current American society and politics~governance are still dominated by conservatives, and Bill Clinton's road to governance may not be a smooth road.

However, the political ~ political promoters necessary for the development of Internet business are still ready unaffected, after all, the profit drive can no longer be stopped.

After understanding the situation about the same, Tang Huan got up and said, "There was already an important meeting with the Bush family, and now there is an extra Steve?" The funeral of a big man like Ross is busy. Let's go, take advantage of this gap to take a look at "Spy Shadows" starring Jet Li? ”

As soon as he arrived downstairs, Tang Huan saw Jin Jie and Jin Yan, holding the box of pizzas, and hurriedly walked back.

"Why, aren't you going to eat dinner?" Tang Huan opened his mouth and reprimanded: "At your age, it's the time to grow your body, so you can't be picky eaters. ”

Jin Yan, the youngest, replied in a panic: "Brother Jin Ying and Jin Jia said that this is a snack for everyone. ”

Tang Huan frowned and asked, "What have you been tossing recently, how did I hear that it seems to have occupied an office?" ”

"How dare we occupy it, we have discussed it, and temporarily borrow the Internet access point there for a few days for technical research." Jin Jie quietly gave Jin Yan a look, and then took the words and explained.

"The pizza is going to be cold. Dad, I won't talk to you more. Jin Yan turned his head and ran away.

"How do I feel that these bear children are sneaky, not like they are doing good deeds." Tang Huan looked at the backs of Jin Jie and Jin Yan and muttered to himself.

"At this age, children are already starting to have little secrets." Tang Wenmao said with a smile: "What's more, the little sons of our Tang family are all precocious, after returning from Europe this time, Jin Chang and Jinge have taken the initiative to go to the sports club below to find an errand and practice seriously." ”

At the end of the year, the official duties became more and more heavy, and Tang Huan didn't have the heart to pay too much attention to the naughty mischievous mischievous of these little people, nodded, and followed the driver to open the car door and get into the car.

……

In this version of "Spy Shadows", in addition to Jet Li playing the leading role, Zhong Chuhong also played a key CIA agent role although there are not many scenes, which can be regarded as a test of her waters in Hollywood.

In recent years, Zhong Chuhong has been a little "lazy" in taking on dramas, the reason is nothing more than that the film industry in Xiangjiang has a tendency to be played bad, commercial films are inevitably boring and boring, and the market has the final say - Baodao, a big box office, is more willing to see female artists from Baodao appear on the big screen, Lin Qingbian and Wang Zuxian are overwhelmed with work for this reason.

In fact, Lin Qingbian is also picking films, such as the admiration of the king of sunglasses, but in the entertainment industry, some people always can't avoid it, so he couldn't refrain from it this year and starred in "The Legend of Deer and Ding II: Shenlong Sect".

As a result, this one piled up Zhou Xingchi. The movies of popular stars such as Lin Qingbian, Qiu Shuzhen, and Li Jiaxin really attracted more money than "The Deer and Ding Ji" released two months ago on Baodao, with a box office approaching NT$100 million.

It can be said that now I want to be an actor rather than a suitor of stars, and I am a little alienated from the current impetuous entertainment circle of Xiangjiang, not to mention that as a confidant of Mr. The richest man, it is impossible to have financial pressure. Zhong Chuhong, who has a straightforward temperament, is even more lazy to socialize, and her latest Hong Kong film is "Across the Seas" directed by John Woo released last year, and it is also the two leading actors, Zhou Yunfa and Leslie Cheung, who used favors together to pull her into the crew.

"Spy Shadows" has already arranged the schedule before Christmas, Tang Huan came over and watched the finished film directly.

Jet Li's sharp fighting moves on the screen made the well-informed Mr. the richest man nod his head pleasantly, and said in his heart - this is definitely a unique feature of Hollywood.

……

After Jin Jie and Jin Yan finished dealing with their father's interrogation, they found Jin Ying and Jin Jia out of breath, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" ”

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

"We are currently in the military network, and we must fight quickly, so as not to be discovered and cause trouble." Jin Jie reminded: "On the road just now, we met Dad. ”

"What are you afraid of, I stabbed the sky out, and my father will make up for it." Jin Yan smiled and put the two pieces of pizza in the hands of Jin Ying and Jin Jia respectively, not at all like the good baby just now.

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

"Yes." Jin Yan, who echoed a sentence, wiped his greasy little hands, jumped on the chair, tapped on the keyboard, and joined the battle group.

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

……

Tang Huan was busy outside, Tang Wenmao suddenly came over in a hurry, and reported in a low voice: "It's broken, I don't know how to do it, Jinying, Jinjie, Jinjia, and Jinyan were involved in an incident of hackers intruding into the military network. ”

"I have a hunch that these little things are causing trouble." Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, "There's no roughness over there." ”

"Of course they don't dare." Tang Wenmao nodded, "However, in this matter, it is best to say hello from above." ”

The richest man thought about it, picked up the phone and dialed out, and said, "...... The dog is stubborn and has caused some trouble, so please ask Haihan to ......" (To be continued.) )
