In fact, when he saw that Tang Huan's Zheru company was so effective in product research and development, it was not only Jobs who secretly had the idea, but Makula was also not calm.

Before becoming the founder of Apple, Macura, who was born in Fairchild Semiconductor, was Intel's memory sales business manager, and his vision for company management was not bad.

Therefore, compared with Zheru, who operated in an orderly manner under the command of Tang Huan, the shortcomings caused by Apple's chaos, especially the failure of the Apple III project, made him feel more and more uneasy.

The cliques on Apple's board of directors are trying to change Apple's current power structure, and the ultimate goal is to create an orderly corporate system to make more money, which is undoubtedly beneficial to the company as a whole.

But the ass decides the head, and no matter how high-sounding those people are, Macoola is unlikely to give himself the power of his founder. Improving the order of the company can also be done under his leadership, isn't it? Like the Lisa project, which has become conflicted because of the struggle for leadership.

The more Macula realized Apple's troubles, the more fortunate he was in his heart, thanks to an ally like Tang Huan, who could lend a helping hand at a critical moment.

With the cooperation of Zheru's new products, Apple's relevant departments naturally know how to do it, and with the positive feedback from the market, investors have also recognized this major good news, and the preparations for Apple's stock listing have re-entered the normal track.

Tang Huan originally thought that this was the case with Apple, and what he needed to do next was nothing more than when he needed to publicize. Brush your face with it.

But things are unpredictable. There will always be some unexpected vignettes that jump out to make trouble.

Like what. The news of Japan's official purchase of 5,000 Fangyuan computers spread to the United States, and Apple's shareholders became aware of it.

Separated by the Pacific Ocean, Japan and the United States have close business exchanges, and Apple and Japan have a long history.

The first edition of the West Coast Computer Faire was held in 1977, when Jobs and Watts exhibited the newly designed Apple II, which Jobs fooled into giving to Satoshi, a textile manufacturer from Mizushima, Japan. And made it the first authorized dealer in Japan.

Regardless of the sales effect, the connection was indeed established very early.

But with the popularity of Fangyuan computers in Asia in the past year, which can support Chinese and Japanese, Apple II has been squeezed out, and Makula and Jobs know this.

But they don't care much about the Asian market, so they don't take it to heart, North America and Europe are Apple's main battlefields, what can Asia do if it is given to Tang Huan, anyway, he promised that Fangyuan Computer will not enter the American market.

However, the news of selling 5,000 Fangyuan computers in one go. It's hard to get your imagination flowing, and the subtle atmosphere in the board room illustrates that.

Tang Huan, who was pulled over again, was very unhappy. He's busy.

"Don, I didn't know you were selling PCs too, that's so surprising. Robert sneered, "Don't you think that doing this will hurt Apple's interests?"

"It's so strange for you to speak, so many people selling personal computers in the market are harming Apple's interests, why are you always staring at me? My Fangyuan computer has its own intellectual property rights. What's more, I communicated with Makula as early as last year that they only sell in Asia and do not enter the American market. Tang Huan explained impatiently.

Seeing that Macula nodded, Robert's momentum suddenly weakened, and he said in a muffled voice: "How many computers have you sold in Asia, bring us the report." ”

"The PC hardware is operated under the structure of another company, so there is no obligation to account for it. However, if you are too busy to find yourself, you can read the report of the Zheru. Tang Huan unceremoniously refused.

However, Tang Huan is not blindly brute, he bullied these guys for not understanding the situation in the East, and said in a slow tone: "Hasn't Jobs been to India, he should have an understanding of the economic development in Asia, and Japan is developing well, and personal computers can barely be regarded as having a market application environment." I have inquired clearly, this order of 5,000 computers is completely an accident, and it is just a statement made by Japan in the trade friction. The pie that fell from the sky happened to fall on my head, and it was hard to find. ”

It's a pity that Tang Huan's bitter words still can't let some people go, they always suspect that Tang Huan stole Apple's technology, sought personal gain in Asia, and took advantage of Apple, otherwise this pie with an order of 5,000 units may fall on Apple's head, Robert's performance can illustrate this point in his thinking, "Why did the Japanese official single-handedly hit the Fangyuan computer? You bring the Fangyuan computer over for us to see,"

"At last year's COMDEX, Fangyuan Computer has already been unveiled, and it is your loss that you have not seen. Tang Huan slapped the table with a cold face and glanced at everyone present, "Everyone, can you broaden your horizons, the most important thing now is to prepare for the stock listing." Also, I've heard that IBM is already working on a personal computer, and you should know what that means. If you are still so indiscriminate, then everyone will break up, and I am too lazy to serve you. ”

Seeing Tang Huan being furious and getting up to leave, Macura hurriedly stopped him, "Tang, look at your violent temper, why bother, everyone is just curious, and has no other meaning." ”

What a good man, after Tang Huan praised it in his heart, he pretended to sit down again.

If it weren't for Makula centering and thin mud, Tang Huan would really be able to walk away. With the controversy of personal computers, Zheru will have to part ways with Apple sooner or later, and now that he has hardened his wings, he naturally doesn't need to compromise and get used to the stinky problems of these guys in front of him.

"Now the monthly sales volume of Apple computers is close to 20,000 units, and even if you receive an order for 5,000 units from Japan, the gap is still not small. Makula laughed and made a joke, enlivening the atmosphere of the scene.

"yes, this order is enough to digest for a while. Tang Huan skillfully hid his strength.

Forced by the current situation that Apple still needs Zheru's products to decorate the façade, the board of directors finally no longer entangled in this matter, but Tang Huan understands in his heart that since the suspicion has arisen, it will take root, and the honeymoon period between himself and Apple is about to pass, and they may have to go their own ways after Apple's stock is listed, especially if the second-generation Fangyuan computer is to be promoted to the US market one step ahead of IBM next year, it will make the two sides centrifuge from Germany.

Naturally, there will be no permanent allies in the mall, only interests will be forever.

The corners of Tang Huan's mouth curled slightly, and after listening to the two topics calmly, he got up and said goodbye, "I am going to attend the opening ceremony of the Moscow Olympics this month, so I have to hurry up and deal with the company's affairs, and I will not accompany you." ”

Watching Tang Huan's back out of the conference room, Robert's nose was about to be crooked, "Look at his arrogant appearance." ”

Makula smiled and expressed a different opinion, "Tang is a star now, so there is another channel for listing publicity." ”

As soon as he heard this, Robert was stunned, looked around at everyone, and saw that they were all deeply appreciative, so he couldn't help but wilt down immediately.

……

Tang Huan didn't fool these people on the Apple board of directors, he did have a lot of official and private matters to deal with.

Seeing that he entered the second half of 1980, the little Lolita Celine Dion, which he first collected, should also enter the music scene according to the historical trajectory.

There is no doubt that in the original time and space, Celine's trajectory of fame made sense, first debuted in her hometown of Quebec, Canada, and only after she had a place in the French music scene did she develop in the fiercely competitive United States. And the talented agent René Angélil, René Angeli, also played a very important role in the whole process.

In this time and space, Celine was taught by Tang Huan to be no longer a little girl who has never seen the world, after training in a professional school, she also has a good English foundation in language, and she is half a child star.

But Tang Huan still feels that it is safest to maintain the original development route of surrounding the city from the countryside and starting from his hometown, and the veteran agent René Angeli is also an indispensable help, after all, he is most familiar with the French-language music scene in Quebec.

Back in the 1960s, René Angeli, who was in his 20s, formed a band and made a name for himself in the area.

After the band broke up, René Angeli and his good friend Guy Cloutier switched careers to become music producers and managers, with two of the most successful Quebec stars, René Simard and Ginette Reno.

However, in 1981, Rennie Angeli and Guy Cloutier parted ways and went their separate ways, and as early as this year, he lost his position as Ginette Reno's agent, lost his cash cow, and his career fell into a slump.

In view of Rennie Angeli's outstanding ability, Tang Huan really has to reuse this person, but some precautions must be in place, because the unspoken rules in the entertainment industry are really ubiquitous regardless of region.

For example, Guy Cloutier, a good friend of René Angeli, was later charged with sexually abusing René Simard's sister who was also a singer, Nathalie Simard, who was a minor at the time, and sentenced to three years and six months in prison. (To be continued......)
