Chapter 0471: Business Opportunities for Star Wars Projects

It has to be said that the United States occupies a unique advantage in the natural environment, has the largest livable land area, and can be described as a real vast land, and even the area where the Kennedy Space Center is located belongs to the National Wildlife Refuge.

When Tang Huan and his subordinates came here, Sam Walton, his eldest son Robson Walton, second son John Walton, insurance companies, and Motorola and other technology and equipment suppliers had been waiting for a long time.

Although Tang Huan said sorry, in fact, he put the shelf to the fullest, and everyone was used to it, this God of Wealth was qualified for such a courtesy.

With Walmart's rapid growth, Sam Walton, who is in his 60s, could not continue to fly small private jets every week, inspecting stores. In the absence of the developed Internet in the original time and space, it is the best choice to build an efficient satellite communication network.

Sam Walton was moved by Tang Huan's suggestion, but the high cost made him hesitate, and if the actual application effect was not satisfactory, it would be a big loss.

It just so happens that Tang Huan, whose business is spread all over the world, also has an increasingly urgent need for centralized data processing, so the two sides hit it off and shared benefits and risks.

"This base is awesome. John Walton, who was not usually obsessed with flying, hooked Tang Huan's shoulders and pointed excitedly, as if he had become a guide.

KennedySpaceCenter - The Kennedy Space Center is part of the National AeronauticsandSpaceAdministration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the famous NASA, whose director James Bergste came from the headquarters in Washington, D.C., to receive him.

If Tang Huan is just making quick money in the context of the hot market of personal computers and video games, taking advantage of the listing of Apple and EA, then he is really a nouveau riche, especially the recent gloomy video game market. It just proves how lacking in the background of a group of people who have rapidly realized their net worth but their pockets have shrunk sharply.

But when Tang Huan put Fangyuan Computer Company, which has high-end products such as supercomputers, servers, and workstations, on the stage of the New York Stock Exchange, the situation was different.

He is no longer a speculative businessman who runs a personal computer that has yet to prove his worth and a video game that is easily associated with playthings.

In short, Tang Huan went to the big scene to make a stop, the brand of Fangyuan Computer Company. is enough to ensure that he has a decent status as a superior person in the mainstream society, and whoever is unconvinced to say "Cut, isn't he the guy who sells video games", just wait to be slapped in the face.

After meeting James Baggs, the smile in Tang Huan's eyes was a little more, because NASA is a big donor, and it belongs to its own VIP users -- the first batch of Fangyuan laptops priced at more than 10,000 US dollars was purchased 100 units; Fangyuan personal computers only need to MC68000 this high-end model; Fangyuan personal workstations have become the darlings of the order.

Of course. The service relationship is interchangeable, and now it is Tang Huan's turn to become a VIP customer of NASA.

James Baggs personally led Tang Huan and his party to visit the Kennedy Space Center, and there is no doubt that the conditions here are much better than the Jiuquan base where Tang Huan visited when he visited his parents.

NASA's brilliant achievements do not need to be repeated, in the other party's proud introduction, Tang Huan, who has sharp eyes and a keen sense of smell, noticed that bureaucratic habits and laziness are revealed here. The poor maintenance of some equipment and the extravagance and waste of consumables reflect this situation from the side.

"I'll go. It shouldn't have affected the successful launch of my brother's satellite. Thinking of the continuous NASA disasters and accidents in the next few years after the original time and space, Tang Huan couldn't help but muttered to himself. So he took an opportunity and gestured to Sam Walton, who immediately frowned slightly.

Old Sam is also a person who does not rub sand in his eyes, and has a unique way of judging the quality of the work atmosphere.

In fact, after winning the race to the moon through the Apollo program. NASA has lost its direction in a sense, as evidenced by the loss of public attention and interest that would guarantee a high budget approved by Congress.

At this point, NASA obviously does not have the sophisticated calculations of the US military, which can fool Congress into shelling out a lot of money by constantly establishing external enemies.

With this concern. Tang Huan didn't have the heart to appreciate the spectacular scene of the rocket launch, but kept secretly praying that the launch would be successful.

If it fails, the economic loss is secondary, and the key is to delay your own layout. Once time is a resource, once consumed, it can never be replenished.

Fortunately, NASA's luck is not so bad at the moment. Soon, news came from the command center that the communication satellite had entered the predetermined orbit, and the commercial launch mission had been successfully completed.

Tang Huan, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sincerely shook hands with James Beggs to thank him, and then used his private jet, Silicon Valley One, to send NASA's senior executives back to the headquarters in Washington, D.C.

The reason why he was so attentive was because of the rumors that Tang Huan heard from the White House, combined with the information in the original time and space, and was convinced that President Reagan was about to put forward his famous "Star Wars project".

Tang Huan was too lazy to follow the trend and analyze the political impact of this action, he only saw the business opportunities in it, and his high-end IT products needed such sales.

What are the economic characteristics of the Republican Party, which is in the ruling position? That is, it has consistently taken care of the interests of big business groups and big capitalists.

Tang Huan, who finally squeezed into this ranks, certainly did not miss the opportunity in front of him. He has already hired a full-time lobbying team in New York ahead of time, with major PR clients.

This action, which is implicitly in line with the business opportunities of the Star Wars project, is not conspicuous, but only shows that the successful listing of Fangyuan Computer Company is highly motivated and ambitious, and Wall Street likes to see it.

Seeing that Tang Huan was busy non-stop, Christopher Galvin couldn't help but urge: "Aren't you going to visit Motorola's latest communication products, when are you going to Chicago?"

"I left after I visited the FAB2 semiconductor factory in Boston and attended an important product launch. Tang Huan smiled apologetically, "You know, I'm going to personally participate in the filming of a movie this year, so my schedule is very tight right now." ”

"Okay, then wait for you. Christopher Galvin had a request from Tang Huan, so he had to nod helplessly in agreement.

At this stage, the successful cooperation with Tang Huan in the semiconductor field represented by the microprocessor MC68000 has added a lot of points to Christopher Galvin, who intends to take charge of Motorola on behalf of the Galvin family.

The communications satellite that had just been launched, and a lot of the equipment on it was also from Motorola, and this achievement was naturally counted on the head of Christopher Galvin.

Now that Tang Huan has taken a fancy to Motorola's communication products, Christopher Galvin can be described as ecstatic.

You know, Tang Huan is really not bad for money now, and just gave Ted Turner a strategic investment to inject $60 million in cash into CNN for network expansion.

As long as Tang Huan is really interested, he will once again help himself establish prestige in Motorola. (To be continued......)
