Thanks to the explosive spread of information in the Internet era in the original time and space, as well as the memories of some elites in his mind, Tang Huan has become numb to the performance of the President of the United States, and the biggest difference between politicians may be the level of their acting skills.

Of course, actors must also have their own characteristics, otherwise they will all become awl faces like plastic surgery, and there will be a danger of being lost to everyone.

Carter has created a domestic image that seeks to reinforce his approachable qualities, such as appearing in public, dressing and speaking informally, holding occasional press conferences, and avoiding presidential pomp, echoing the image of a "redneck" businessman who grew peanuts and bought and sold fertilizer before he was elected governor of Georgia.

In addition, Carter had an 11-year naval career, during which he served in the Pacific Fleet's conventional submarine "Pomfret", and he served with the ship in the Pacific waters and made several trips to Chinese ports.

Despite his military experience, Carter was relatively moderate diplomatically, except for this boycott of the Moscow Olympics because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Therefore, Carter's "softness" during the Cold War did not please politicians, coupled with inflation and high unemployment during his tenure, as well as the hostage crisis in Iran, which led to the gradual loss of popular popularity, and the upper and lower levels were not good, so he naturally could not be re-elected.

But in any case, Carter's mild style did make Tang Huan a lot easier when dealing with him, for example, the customized version of the Xiaobawang game console that was planned as a gift was finally successfully brought into the banquet hall and placed on the table.

When the sound module was enhanced, the hardware architecture of the first-generation Xiaobawang game console was completely fixed. Thus it is possible to play some tricks. further attract consumers.

Tang Huan, who has long been familiar with the marketing of electronic consumer products. Instructing the production of a batch of custom versions on the basis of the 1980 version just launched in the middle of this year is actually a bit of a gimmick in the main chassis.

For example, plexiglass is used in some directions to allow you to see the circuit board inside, and more LEDs have been added.

When the game console is powered on. There's a kind of mystery that science fiction describes.

Carter, who is said to have an IQ of 175, participated in the research of the first nuclear-powered submarines in the United States in the late 1950s, later in his naval career. He is an expert in nuclear reactor technology, so he is not blind to technical products.

"That's what the Soviets were fascinated by by this gadget?" asked Carter with interest.

"Regardless of the hardware specs, it is similar to today's PCs, but with clever software coding, it can make a lot of interesting designs. Tang Huan smiled, "Mr. President, in addition to his busy schedule, he might as well combine work and rest and spend fifteen minutes of his time." Play the game inside. Millions of consoles have been sold, and the player base is at least a few million. Mr. President, I might be able to find common ground with more people. ”

Because of the boycott of the Moscow Olympics, Carter did not ask the Fangyuan computer, which was advertised by Tang Huan in more than ten languages, but happily accepted the Xiaobawang game console.

Seeing that Tang Huan didn't forget to deliberately sell products no matter where he went, Steve Ross couldn't help frowning, thinking in his heart, "No wonder Atari was crushed by the little overlord, the other party didn't play cards according to common sense at all, and when the reporters published the report on tonight's banquet activities, it was just another advertisement for nothing, and its attraction to customers can be imagined, it seems that it is necessary to have a meeting between Ray Casa and Atari." ”

After Tang Huan returned to his seat, he noticed Steve Rose's tailgating gaze, so he raised his glass with a smile and gestured.

"Little one, you should be proud first. Steve Rose snorted to himself.

Since everyone was destined not to have a good time together, Tang Huan naturally didn't really care about Steve Rose's feelings, and he took an opportunity to talk to Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles, who accompanied Carter.

Bradley, 53, who is also a Democrat, is extraordinary in that as a black man, he has managed to get the position of the top executive of a metropolis like Los Angeles.

During Bradley's 20-year tenure from 1973 to 1993, a lot changed in Los Angeles, and a lot happened, like the 1984 Olympics.

Bradley's political record was quite successful, but he narrowly missed out on his poor handling of the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

Tang Huan's relationship with Bradlilah is nothing more than to give Deng Lijun a retreat reward to promote cultural exchanges, and the other party is naturally happy to send personal favors.

When the banquet was over, everyone dispersed, and Lin Qingfang, who sat in the back seat with Tang Huan, said with admiration: "You are so amazing, you can talk and laugh so much when talking to such a big person, I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out." ”

"Is it better now? I'll touch it. Tang Huan reached out and touched Lin Qingfang's chest with a shy, and his hands were immediately full of softness.

"Take advantage of others. Lin Qingbian slapped Tang Huan's hand hard, but then his eyes widened, because his soft lips had been covered by the man's big mouth.

Lin Qingbian gritted his teeth tightly, pushed Tang Huan away with all his might, and scolded in shame: "It stinks to death." ”

Tang Huan wiped his mouth helplessly and muttered: "It's not a kiss scene in a movie, what are you doing with your teeth so tight, you almost bit off my tongue." ”

"Well deserved. Lin Qingbian looked sideways at the night view of Los Angeles outside the car window and smiled secretly.

……

Back at his aunt's residence in Los Angeles, Tang Huan remembered that he hadn't talked to the elderly for a while because he was flying around, so he looked at the time, picked up the phone and dialed it in Singapore.

Tang Yun, who was accompanied by Lin Fengjiao, was in a good mood, and even Tang Huan, who was filial, was very happy. But when he picked up a copy of the latest Wall Street Journal. I couldn't help frowning a little.

As one of the fastest-growing companies in Silicon Valley. Zheru will naturally be analyzed and commented on by economic newspapers, but you can praise it, what are you doing with digging so deeply, and you can turn out Zheru's recent move of registering hundreds of patents one after another.

These achievements are mainly related to the second-generation Fangyuan computer and the Xiaobawang game machine, Tang Huan originally planned to accumulate grain, slowly become the king, and use more than a year to quietly make technical reserves, but now it is revealed to the world. Doesn't this expose the target and startle the snake, and I don't know if Cupertino found out about this report.

Tang Huan pondered for a while, Deng Lijun's concert was going on well at both stops, and the places that should be done have been done in place, so there is no need to worry too much, let's move our attention back to Silicon Valley first.

In this way, the next day, after Tang Huan and Deng Lijun explained themselves, they hurriedly returned to Cupertino in Silicon Valley from Los Angeles.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the company, Tang Huan found out that Chambers was receiving two financial reporters. Talking about the rise of Zheru and the way to success, this kind of public relations activity is naturally in the limelight by subordinates.

I looked at the documents in the office for a while. Chambers ran to report to Tang Huan with sweat on his forehead, "Our 386 plan seems to have leaked the news, and the interview with the Wall Street Journal arranged by McKenna a few days ago did not mention the patent at that time, so why did it suddenly break out." ”

"Maybe the other party also found out by accident. Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "If someone mentions this matter again, they will push it to Apple Computer, and at the same time pull IBM out to share the concern, at present, R&D is in a critical period, and I hate these external interferences the most." ”

"I see. Chambers nodded, and then a smile appeared on his face, "You mentioned the Fangyuan computer in front of the camera at the Olympics, which made Apple very dissatisfied, saying that if it was replaced by an Apple computer, it would attract the attention of many investors." ”

"We paid for the advertising ourselves. Tang Huan cut off disdainfully, "It seems that I still have to go to Apple to have a look, don't have any moths." ”

When he arrived at Makulla's office, he happened to meet Kutch, the director of the Lisa project, who gave him an ultimatum, "Mike, if Jobs comes to my territory again, then you can ask another master, and I will not do this project director." ”

"Steve Jobs is sometimes like an impulsive kid and you can't afford to be angry with him. Makula comforted, her brow furrowed into a pimple, "You give me some time, and I will definitely help you smooth out the relationship between the Lisa project team." ”

"Okay, then I'll be patient a little longer. After pouring the bitter water, Kuchi left with a grunt.

Makula looked at Kuqi's back as he left the office and sighed helplessly, "Now the relationship between Jobs and Kuchi in the Lisa project has reached the point where it is incompatible, which is really uncomfortable." ”

Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders, "Kuqi is from Hewlett-Packard, and he obviously clashed with Jobs in the hacker style in terms of his way of working, and it was only a matter of time before something went wrong. ”

"In this case, the dispute must be resolved as soon as possible, the Apple III project has failed, and the Lisa project cannot be further mishandled. Makula muttered to herself.

Tang Huan was not interested in interfering in Apple's internal personnel relations, and he opened his mouth to raise the question he was concerned about, "How are the preparations for listing progressing?"

"It's finally on track, and investment bankers are offering a new subscription price of $18 per share. Makula smiled pleasantly, "What do you think of the price?"

"I think I'll have to pay at least $20. Tang Huan shook his head, and then smiled slyly, "But this difference is only Apple cares, it is nothing more than that you get less IPO, and Wall Street bankers will take more of it, as long as the final closing price is high." ”

"So, you think the price is low? Macoola muttered, "We're going to have some PR activities anyway, let's see how it goes." Don, you're so famous now, even the president wants to see you, you can't be lazy in publicity. ”

"Do your best. Tang Huan laughed, looking at Makura's appearance, the Apple board of directors should have been calm recently, and now he is finally quiet.

He chatted with Macura for a while, and the other party revealed a message. The monthly sales of the Apple II have exceeded 20,000 units. But there are also troubles. "Woz's men are also not worried and often have trouble. Especially when the Apple III was introduced to the market, Robert planned to completely replace and discontinue the Apple II within six months, but the result was a feather and caused internal conflicts. ”

Seeing that Makura, a good old man, was a little anxious, Tang Huan finally couldn't hold back the gag order he gave him, and kindly suggested, "Mike." You're too lazy, and Scott can't hold back the unruly Jobs, it's time for Apple to consider picking a new CEO. ”

"Let's wait until we go public, and then the company will be more attractive to senior talent. Makula seems to agree with the suggestion.

Tang Huan bowed his head silently, he could expect that after Kuqi came to sue just now, no matter how good Macura was, he would be unbearable with Jobs and transfer him out of the Lisa project team. Even overhead will be an indispensable means. The relationship between the two was originally like that of father and son, and there will inevitably be dislikes, and it is estimated that Jobs will also learn the essence of corporate politics from this loss of power.

As for Scott, Macura should still be more reliant than disappointed in him.

Each goes back to his own house, and each finds his own mother. After making sure that Apple's side was calm for him, Tang Huan got up and said goodbye and left.

On the way, Tang Huan began to ponder some possible consequences after the media vaguely revealed Zheru's research and development plan.

He is a little unsure, IBM's personal computer research and development project team, must have maintained the attention to the current hardware and software leaders in the field of personal computers, Apple and Zheru, if you don't know what the other party will analyze, after all, everyone is also a technical elite.

Tang Huan came to the door of the company and happened to meet Kogan and Hawkins.

It turned out that after the Oakland Raiders were successfully acquired, they followed Tang Huan's instructions and made some changes.

Hearing that Tang Huan was back, he naturally couldn't hold back his excitement and came over to show his skills.

Before AlDavis was kicked out, his control over the Oakland Raiders was not ordinarily strong.

Originally, the Raiders jersey was black and gold, and the helmet was black and white, with no team badge on it.

When AlDavis became head coach and manager, he changed the colour scheme to silver and black, and added the team badge to the helmet.

And the team emblem is a shield with "Raiders" written on the top and crossed swords.

Now that the Oakland Raiders have changed owners, Tang Huan naturally wants to carry out an operation to erase the AlDavis brand, including details such as changing the color of the team's jerseys.

Boss Tang had a big brain, and without hesitation, he made a decision, and set the colors to Chinese red, local tyrant gold and white, and the team logo pattern became a tiger - the Oakland Raiders belong to the West Division of the major leagues, so the East Green Dragon and West White Tiger.

It can be said that Tang Huan gave full play to his bad taste.

Calling a few vice presidents at home, Tang Huan first went to see the Oakland Arena - now renamed EA Arena, and they could see EA's huge billboard from a long distance.

"Isn't this too ostentatious?" Tang Huan asked hypocritically.

"Well, we gave real money. Hawkins looked right.

The reason why Kogan and Hawkins are in a hurry to bring Tang Huan over for inspection is mainly to finalize the overall situation and stabilize the team's morale, because the preseason is in the coming August.

This acquisition not only suddenly attacked AlDavis, but also made Tang Huan's side a little unprepared, so he did not adjust the players and head coach, but appeased.

The current head coach of the Oakland Raiders is TomFlores, the original quarterback, who is the first Hispanic head coach in NFL history.

Tang Huan publicly reaffirmed TomFlores' position as head coach and gave him the position of assistant manager, who was in charge of the team's overall affairs when manager Kogan was too busy.

With the respect of the new boss, TomFlores is naturally a big show of loyalty.

The NFL is the same as the NBA, the league has set a ceiling on team investment, and it is a "hard" ceiling with no room for error, but for the previous team, the so-called ceiling is too far away, Tang Huan slightly increased his investment, and everyone was settled.

After all, regardless of the relationship between these people and AlDavis before, but just from the fact that AlDavis is clamoring to move the team out of Auckland, it can be guessed that he is not very happy with the team's current financial situation.

Tang Huan, the big boss who is not bad for money, gives a very simple principle of employing people at this stage, everyone will have candy to eat if they work hard, if they still hook up with AlDavis to make small moves, then I'm sorry, get out of here.

In fact, Tang Huan's mallet picked up a big bargain.

It was this team that won the Super Bowl in the new season, and then Al Davis forcibly moved the team from Oakland to Los Angeles, and then moved back to Oakland in the 1990s after finding that it was still not going well.

Although he didn't know that he had taken a big advantage, Tang Huan was already satisfied with all of EA's current publicity platforms.

In his view, consumer electronics should not only be limited to the product level, but also form their own social culture and other ecosystems.

In the previous life, Blizzard integrated games such as World of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Hearthstone on a single Battle.net platform, and other game companies did the same, and their purpose was nothing more.

It would be naïve to think that technology alone can sell products from beginning to end.

Just as QQ in the previous life did not rely on technology to win, but used various means to "stick" users, thus creating its own platform, in real operation, there are many ways to win. (To be continued......)
