Chapter 0857: Oil Wars, Media Wars, Cyber Warfare
……
No matter how the remedy is arranged, "The Silence of the Lambs" will definitely not be eligible for the 1990 Oscars, and can only wait for the next one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jodie Foster didn't dwell on this, and after figuring out the ins and outs, she put it down.
After being tired of it for a while, seeing Jodie Foster pick up his coat and leave, Tang Huan couldn't help but be stunned, "Why don't you stay for a while when you come from afar?"
"Thank you for the convenience of California high-speed rail, I didn't feel that far away when I came from Los Angeles. Jodie Foster smiled and put on her coat - smart women know how to keep themselves fresh with men.
"Then we'll have to have a meal together. Tang Huan looked at the time, "Take a look at Jinchang, Jinge, Jinming, and Jinliang's participation in the event, maybe these performances can help you, a cutting-edge director, to learn more about talented children." ”
Jodie Foster didn't refuse, and shared a car with Tang Huan to a retirement community funded by the Shennong Foundation, and saw a group of young boys and girls in bright green vests from a distance, helping to distribute supplies in style.
"Your twins don't look like they're only ten years old. Jodie Foster complimented heartily.
"Abnormal IQ does produce all kinds of troubles......, including how to fit in with the peer group," Tang Huan said with the same feelings.
"But you're still having fun, aren't you?" said Jodie Foster.
"Of course. Tang Huan laughed, "The traces of my existence in this world depend largely on them to maintain and inherit, and those ideals that are destined to be unattainable in this life must fall on them." ”
Seeing the man staring at him playfully, Jodie Foster cut off, "I don't have the psychological preparation to have children, especially when I think that my children will have so many half-siblings, I feel pressure for them." ”
The two equally intelligent men and women were arguing back and forth, and an unlicensed silver Mercedes stopped not far away - as soon as the door opened, Jobs got out of the car, looked around for a while, and finally locked his eyes on a teenage girl.
Jodie Foster, who noticed this, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is he doing?"
Tang Huan shrugged, "Obviously, he is visiting his daughter, Lisa. ”
Jodie Foster's gaze also turned to these children again, and suddenly said, "The parents of these children who participated in the event together are probably not from a simple background." ”
Tang Huan smiled faintly, "The social circle of adults will inevitably affect children, and it also responds to the old saying in the East - the right door." ”
At this time, Jobs, who was a little impatient, waved his hand at his daughter. Lisa reluctantly walked over, and the two seemed to have an awkward argument without saying a few words.
Jodie Foster's rare gossip fire burned, "The relationship between this father and daughter doesn't seem to be harmonious?"
Tang Huan replied uncertainly: "Now Lisa should be living with her biological mother Chrisan Brennan, and her relationship with Jobs is naturally weaker. ”
The two watched from the wall here, while Jobs opened the car door and urged his daughter to get into the car. As a result, Lisa took several steps back, which angered Jobs.
Jin Chang, Jin Ge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang, who had been observing for a while, ran to Lisa's side in time.
The eldest brother Jin Chang was the first to speak: "Mr. Jobs, we know you as a big celebrity, but please don't disturb our work." ”
"A bunch of little kids, moving things here, even if it's work?" Jobs pouted disdainfully, "Boy, get out of the way, don't bother me talking to my daughter." ”
"Then you can't force Lisa. Jin Chang waved his hand unequivocally, forming an obvious formation with Jin Ge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang, protecting Lisa as she retreated.
Jobs was obviously stunned by this concerted play, and after a while, he reacted and shook his fist angrily, "Nosy stinky boy, tell me, where is your adult?"
Jin Chang grimaced and raised his finger, "Over there, hurry up and find it." ”
Tang Huan, who was watching the show from the car with the window rolled down, shook his head with a smile, opened the door and got out of the car, and greeted: "Steve, get along with the child, but be patient." ”
"I guessed it's your stinky boy. Jobs snorted, "Since we met, let's go for a walk together." ”
"Well, I can tell you a little bit about what makes this retirement community special. Tang Huan nodded, "The high-tech equipment installed here is secondary, and the key is the implementation and implementation of scientific management methods." ”
Now Steve Jobs, the level is still stuck in the eyes only staring at the computer - at first the next computer sales were not good, so this year quickly launched a new model, added a 2.88MB disk drive, and the original "only sell computers directly to students and educational institutions" sales model, converted into a dealer model, and reached an agreement with Businessland, by a more professional party responsible for selling NEXT products throughout the United States, but there has also been a more obvious improvement.
More importantly, Jobs, who enjoyed it, did one thing, that is, touted the NEXT computer as very fashionable, which can be said to have reached a new level of losing money and making money, and fooled another shareholder, RB's Canon, and injected another $30 million as working capital.
I have to say that Jobs is still in the growth period - using the company's fancy losses to achieve his own unique image, and then he has no patience to listen to Tang Huan's long-winded things in the industrial ecosystem outside the computer.
Moreover, it seemed that Jobs was a little troubled, frowned frequently, and finally suddenly interrupted Tang Huan's words, and said thoughtlessly: "Tang, I'm ready to get married." ”
Tang Huan was slightly stunned, congratulated with a smile, and then quipped: "You shouldn't have premarital depression?" ”
As an adopted child, Jobs's inner views on marriage and family are inevitably complicated, and the richest man is really unsure.
"But I'm still not sure if I like Lauren Powell more or Tina Ryders more. Jobs had a look of distress on his face.
Tang Huan almost laughed when he heard this. You know, Jobs has been living with Lauren Powell for a while, and he still misses his ex-girlfriend, and he doesn't know how his current girlfriend feels.
"Don, you're a top master of the flowers, can you give me some advice?" Bush stared at Tang Huan and asked very seriously.
This kind of private topic that is easy to offend people is really not easy to comment on. Tang Huan touched the beard on his chin and thought about it.
Jobs's love life can be called colorful, his girlfriend has basically never been broken, and from the stage before and after he was expelled from Apple, Tina Ryders was by his side.
During this period, Jobs experienced some personal changes - his adoptive mother died, and then he was understood by his adoptive father and recognized his biological mother and sister, while his biological father was ignored, which solved the philosophical question of "who am I".
Tina Rides and Jobs, who smell the same thing, naturally during this time period, are incomparably closer to each other in terms of heart.
But the problem is that neither man nor woman can control their emotions very well, and in the end it ended with Lao Yan flying apart, and the more scheming Lauren Powell quickly filled the position through a chance encounter.
Recalling the impression of a few short gatherings, Tang Huan slowly opened his mouth in the gaze of Jobs's "Hurry up but don't fool me", "Since you are going to get married, you must consider the stability of the family." First of all, Powell is your favorite type - beautiful and slender blonde beauty, and approachable, no lack of humor, well-educated, smart and not conceited, independent ~ strong, strong enough to withstand the pressure of the outside world to observe celebrities with a magnifying glass, but also willing to make changes for his lover and family, and confident enough to have a fairly secure sense of security, not too restrictive to men, and at the same time to know how to deal with all kinds of troubles that you get into from time to time, such as your daughter Lisa. ”
Looking at Jobs, whose mouth was getting wider and wider, Tang Huan finally concluded: "More importantly, on the basis of the above, Powell and you have some common hobbies, such as organic food, and can pursue the otherworldly and sunny snow you like with you in real secular life." ”
"Hell. Jobs rubbed his chin and muttered, "Why did you observe so carefully, maybe you also became interested in Lauren." ”
"Fart. Tang Huan scolded with a smile, "What do you think I rely on to manage hundreds of thousands of people? Without excellent knowledge of people, why do I run a huge industry and sit on the throne of the richest man? Is it a simple technical talent? If that were the case, it is estimated that I would have ended up like you and would have been kicked out of my own start-up company." ”
Jobs didn't feel the slightest annoyance at being exposed, and he said with a smile: "I went to Hawaii with Lauren for a vacation first, and then got married when I came back." When the time comes, I hope to have you as the best man. ”
"Do you want the media to start a new round of overwhelming sarcasm about me?" Tang Huan cut off.
Jobs, who has long been without "buddies", hurriedly explained: "The wedding will definitely be a small-scale private event, and there will never be media harassment." ”
Tang Huan thought for a moment, and then put forward the condition: "This errand is not good, unless you allow me to broadcast the wedding live through AOL, such as posting some pictures, texts and other things on my exclusive page." ”
Jobston was a little messy, "Don, don't you think you're very conflicted? You hate gossip yourself, but you make gossip around me!"
"It's not gossip, it's operation. Tang Huan emphasized solemnly.
"Okay, but I can only post a maximum of three photos. Jobs reluctantly agreed.
"Then I'm going to think about the schedule. Tang Huan pondered, "The economic situation of RB has made the IT market a little unpredictable, and I have to go to the field to investigate." ”
"Count you ruthless. Jobs made a foolish concession.
……
Although the exact date of Jobs' wedding has not yet been set, the Gulf War has come as scheduled.
On 12 January 1991, the United States Congress authorized the military to expel Iraq from Kuwait.
Shortly thereafter, other countries supporting the Kuwaiti royal coalition also authorized their own armies.
On January 17, after the ultimatum of UN Security Council Resolution 678, the multinational coalition began carrying out large-scale, high-intensity air strikes known as Operation Desert Storm — using weapons such as guided bombs, cluster bombs, air bombs and cruise missiles, carrying out thousands of attacks per day.
In retaliation, Iraq fired eight Scud missiles at Israel the next day in an attempt to drag the other side into the war and force other Arab countries to withdraw from the war. But this strategy did not succeed. Israel did not join the coalition, and all Arab countries, with the exception of Jordan, which remained neutral, remained in the coalition.
On 29 January, Iraq occupied the Saudi Arabian city of Kafji with tanks and infantry. As a result, the Iraqi army was driven out by U.S. Marines and Saudi Arabian forces with strong air coverage just two days later.
Developments suggest that Saddam Hussein, who played with fire, reaped the consequences.
Under the heavy air strikes, Iraq's air force and air defense facilities, as well as command and communications facilities, were destroyed with precision in place.
Saddam Hussein also had the common problem of tyrants, that is, they liked to command their own armies in every detail, so that the initiative of the small army was almost completely lost. As a result, the Iraqi army, whose command system is paralyzed, is almost blind and deaf, and is simply unable to make an effective counterattack.
But that's not all, the third and greatest objective of this air war is to strike military targets in Iraq and occupied Kuwait — power plants, communications facilities, ports, oil refineries, railways and bridges, and even two nuclear power plants — have all been attacked.
On February 22, Iraq, battered and swollen, agreed to a cease-fire agreement proposed by the Soviet Union. That is, Iraq will return to its pre-war position and a complete ceasefire within three weeks, and the United Nations Security Council will observe the withdrawal and ceasefire; however, the United States rejected this proposal, saying only that the Iraqi troops withdrawn from Kuwait will not be attacked, but within 24 hours.
Saddam Hussein's delaying tactics were immediately declared unsuccessful.
On 24 February, the U.S. military began a three-pronged land operation known as the "Desert Sabre."
Among them, the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions of the US Army, with the cooperation of the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Armored Division, attacked Kuwait from the east.
On 27 February, US President George W. Bush announced that Kuwait had been liberated.
This war, in addition to the oil war, is also a media war, and even a refreshing cyber war - the major online service platforms in the United States have distinguished themselves in this time-sensitive information dissemination and sharing activity. (To be continued.) )
