……

Due to the failure of the hard disk of the IBM-PC/AT, Don? Estlic's deliberate monopoly on Intel80286 to seize the market opportunity was lost all at once.

As a result, the pattern of the personal computer market has almost been finalized, that is, the Fangyuan personal computer standard, which occupies two-thirds of the market share, is at the top of the list, while the IBM-PC standard is in the second place, and it is constantly slipping, and the industry dominance that the blue giant is accustomed to grasping in his hands is gradually drifting away.

Fortunately, the Apple threat below is very limited, and although the MAC has been lively for a while, the flashy nature is quickly revealed, and it cannot form a substantial threat to the IBM-PC.

As for other types of personal computer platforms, they will not disappear, such as BBCMicro in the United Kingdom and NECPC-9800 in Japan; If you don't want to keep the original brand, but choose to support one of the camps, such as Tangdi, Osborne, Atari, AppleIIGS, etc., they will change their lineage and embrace Fangyuan's personal computer standards.

The company that stands on the side of IBM-PC is the most representative of Compaq, but it and some IBM-PC compatible machines made by unknown workshops are essentially uncontrollably snatching the meat from the mouth of the blue giant.

More importantly, these savagely expanding companies on the IBM-PC platform are like scattered sand, while Fangyuan personal computers are in order, forming a joint force that can determine the direction of the industry.

Take the recent annual Spring Developers Conference as an example, and the popularity is high, with various alliance manufacturers discussing the multitasking capabilities and multimedia features of the three generations of Fangyuan PCs. It is also looking forward to the 32-bit journey of the four generations of Fangyuan personal computers.

Of course. Fangyuan personal computer and IBM-PC two major standards outside the competitive landscape. There are also some fish that have slipped through the net, mainly in the field of low-end and cheap computers, such as Kangmaoda, which beat Texas Instruments and had the last laugh, and local brands in Europe represented by British iKang computers.

However, it is foreseeable that these increasingly niche hardware platforms will not be too long away from being swept into the dustbin of history.

Tang Huan is very satisfied with the current step-by-step work of Fangyuan Computer Company, but he also pointed out to his executives that IBM is not the ultimate opponent. Its success is also conservative, and its failure is also conservative, and this kind of business style that does not want to change is destined to fail to adapt to the ever-changing personal computer industry.

What Fangyuan Computer needs to guard against is that new forces may take advantage of the opportunity of changing the rules of the game to seize the market by virtue of some emerging technology fields, such as 32-bit personal computers, devices that are more suitable for the network environment, etc.

Compared with Apple, which doesn't grow up like a bear child, Tang Huan single-handedly trained Fangyuan Computer Company. I don't know how many times it is mature and stable, and there is no need to say good things twice. Just click on it.

It was at this time that the Intel faction of the semiconductor company Seeq. In Gordon. Under the leadership of Campbell, the news of the rebellion and exodus came.

Louis has been in charge of following up on Seeq. Guo Shina, after the report, asked Tang Huan's opinion, "Or, on behalf of the board of directors, I will go to the strong pressure?" ”

"It doesn't have to be that way." Tang Huan waved his hand, "Delayed until now, Gordon. The IBM-PC-compatible chip that Campbell made has lost the opportunity to make waves. They want to leave Seeq because they want to develop the next generation of IBM-PC/AT compatible chips without restrictions. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and Silicon Valley is a place that advocates freedom, so let them go. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled sarcastically, "If they really make a name for themselves, they will buy it when the time comes." ”

"Then I'm going to rearrange the leadership of Seeq." Louis. Guo Shi Na nodded in understanding, got up and left, while Tang Huan fell into deep thought.

Some general trends are objective and unshakable, just like the semiconductor industry, which is investing more and more, will inevitably have a division of labor in design and manufacturing.

In the original time and space, Gordon. Campbell rose up in response to the traditional "vertical integration" model of the semiconductor industry and put forward the concept of "fabless semiconductor company + wafer foundry" model, which was quickly accepted by the entire industry and became a major trend in the development of the semiconductor industry.

The most well-known examples of its success are TSMC, which provides wafer foundry, and NVIDIA, ATI, which provides fabless semiconductor design solutions for graphics processing chips.

In fact, this is also the node where the rules of the game have changed that Tang Huan has constantly emphasized. At that time, all kinds of cheap products will emerge one after another, threatening the unique chips such as display, audio, and network in their hands that are in a state of muffled wealth.

And this threat that will inevitably appear in the next three years is estimated to be only Tang Huan will be aware of.

However, for this upcoming revolution in the semiconductor industry model, Tang Huan did not take too many actions except for asking his subordinates to do research and evaluation. In his opinion, too much interference will disturb the mediocrity and mess up.

……

In addition to dealing with official duties, Tang Huan also cares about family trivialities, because his sons are becoming more and more capable of being demons, and the education problem makes his aunt Tang Yun and several women extremely headaches.

I have seen Deng Lijun, Lin Fengjiao, and Zhao Yazhi tortured by their sons with a "why" and a "shouldn't", and Lin Qingfang, who was about to give birth, was a little stunned.

She asked Tang Huan worriedly, "Will our children be so difficult?" ”

"You have to see how cute they are." Tang Huan shook his head with a smile.

In the face of a large number of children with extraordinary intelligence, he was able to cope with it freely, and was able to calm the scene, first directly came to a negotiation of equal dialogue, and then decided that the education link before middle school should be completed by hiring a tutor.

In fact, these little guys born with a golden key need to learn how to respect people and improve their emotional intelligence by extension.

……

After being the head of the kindergarten for a few days, Tang Huan was about to follow the plan. Departure for Asia. James. Cameron ran to the door. Invite him to enjoy a sample of the movie "The Terminator".

Compared with the budget of only 6.4 million US dollars in the original time and space, this version of "The Terminator" has received strong support in terms of investment, reaching 12 million. For Cameron, it's like a pie falling from the world.

In return for "the death of a confidant", James. In addition to filming "The Terminator", Cameron also shot from the perspective of the demander. Helped D2 achieve a huge improvement in special effects, saying that it surpassed George. Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic is no exaggeration.

This achievement is of great significance, and D2 has formed a complete set of special effects solutions including computer software and hardware.

With its own system of computer special effects, D2 has first benefited DreamWorks, which has relatively low labor costs, such as the mythological TV series "Eight Immortals Across the Sea", which has been invested in and produced by D2, which will be broadcast simultaneously on Chinese TV stations in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Canada for the first time in history.

To reward James. For Cameron's special contribution, Tang Huan also personally approved $500,000 to the other party.

"How did I hear the head of Orion Pictures mention that your Terminator is very horrific and violent. The rating of the movie is nerve-wracking. Tang Huan asked casually in the car.

"No, it should be described as gorgeous. is more appropriate. "James. Cameron tried to explain.

Since the investment has been nearly doubled, the visual effects of the movie "Terminator" naturally far exceed the version in the original time and space.

Another difference is that she plays the heroine, Sarah Connor, the target of the Terminator T-800 pursuit. Connor's actress, replaced by Judy. Foster.

Affected by the assassination of U.S. President Ronald Reagan, Judy . In order to avoid the problems caused by the large number of reporters interviewing his personal life, Forster had to apply to Yale University for a semester off, which ended up ending in a year of restudy, or he would have graduated with a bachelor's degree this year.

From this, Judy. Foster's confidence in his acting career was greatly hit, and when he took over the filming of "The Terminator", he was quite hesitant, but due to Tang Huan's warm invitation, he agreed.

In this way, in terms of popularity, the cast of "Terminator" is very strong.

At the test screening, Arnold. Schwarzenegger and Judy. Foster, as well as playing the role of protecting Sarah. Connor's Human Resistance fighter Kyle. Rhys's Michael. Bean is all there.

and Judy. After Foster hugged for a while, Tang Huan turned his head and quipped. Schwarzenegger, "Mr. World, in the game theme park built by EA, the most conspicuous area of "Conan the Barbarian" is your statue. ”

"I went to see it secretly." Arnold with a strong Austrian-German accent. Schwarzenegger, succinctly replied.

In 1983, the bodybuilder officially received his status as a U.S. citizen. At the same time, he earned his bachelor's degree from Wisconsin State University.

At this stage, its most successful performance in movies is naturally "Conan the Barbarian", which MGM is responsible for distributing, and now it has taken over the filming of "The Terminator", which can be said to have a deep relationship with Tang Huan's Hollywood company.

After the pleasantries, the movie began to be screened soon after, and the plot was basically the same as the original version, but the special effects were really the same as James. Cameron's words are so luxurious that you almost lose sight of the violence and horror in it.

Watch as the Terminator has only the upper body left, but still crawls towards Sarah. Connor, trying to put an end to it, Tang Huan said: "This sample film is really enjoyable to watch, but I won't help you put pressure on Orion, I believe in their professional ability to grasp the scale and rating of the movie." ”

Seeing that Tang Huandao broke his mind, James. Cameron shrugged his shoulders helplessly and replied depressedly, "Well, I'll listen to them further on the clip." ”

Tang Huan smiled slightly and reassured: "I can understand that every time the director gives up a shot, it is like a piece of code from a programmer being marked and discarded, which makes me feel uncomfortable, but "Terminator" can win more viewing opportunities. ”

See James. Cameron listened, Tang Huan changed his words and asked, "How do I feel that in the movie, the Terminator doesn't seem to speak much?" ”

Judy. Foster chuckled, "In the whole movie, he only has 18 lines, which adds up to a total of 65 words." ”

"I could have had one more, but because I had a hard time pronouncing the 'Ill' in 'Illbeback' at first, I wanted to ask the director to change it to 'Iwillbeback', but he ruthlessly refused." Arnold. Schwarzenegger added.

"But you still said 'Illbeback' without any problems." Tang Huan laughed, and then said playfully: "Mr. World, please believe me, this line will become a sign, and you will say it many times in the future." ”

……

The box office of the movie "Protecting Flowers" in Xiangjiang reached 35 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Baodao exceeded 50 million New Taiwan dollars.

The first stop of its "15th Anniversary Concert Tour" was held at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong, and the tickets were sold out early, with a total of more than 100,000 visitors.

According to the plan, the next stops of the "15th Anniversary Concert Tour" will be Singapore and Malaysia. Businesses from all walks of life, including nightclubs, in the Singapore and Malaysia areas immediately heard the news and couldn't wait to send special personnel to Xiangjiang to inquire about the news at the Peninsula Hotel where Deng Lijun was staying, trying to invite this red and purple singer to come to the "show" to take the opportunity to improve her style and drive popularity.

But what disappointed them was that Deng Lijun politely refused all on the grounds that the schedule was too tight.

These people were not reconciled, so they waited in the restaurant, trying to find a turnaround, but there were many people with the same thoughts, and a group of peers were invisibly gathered, and they unconsciously exchanged information during the greetings.

……

"This Miss Deng has such a big shelf, we are already very sincere, and bid $4,000 to invite her to attend the opening ceremony, but they directly refused."

"Che, do you know how much our Kuala Lumpur Golden Horse Nightclub costs? The daily salary is $12,000, but it is not unsuccessful. ”

"What is $12,000, the condition given by our Apollo nightclub in Singapore is $20,000, plus airfare."

……

At this time, a manager from Baodao interjected with disdain, "Your news is really closed enough, Miss Deng has already consciously reduced such business attendances, haven't you read the newspaper, people's net worth is more than 100 million US dollars, you open your mouth and close your mouth 10,000,000 US dollars, as if it is a lot, show sincerity to play the emotional card, you know?" ”

"That's right, the richest man in the world is really interesting to his own woman."

"Hehe, it is estimated that there are many women who are even more eager to fall in love with the richest man in the world."

……

These guys were chewing on their tongues, and the little brother who was in charge of finding out the news came to report out of breath, "Miss Deng got in the car and went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, it is said that she is going to attend the celebration dinner for the relocation of the headquarters of Qinhe Group. ”

Hearing the news, everyone looked at each other and blurted out in unison, "It seems that people still have face!" (To be continued.) )
