Stiff neck, neck pain terrible, this chapter is very awkward at night, I will fix the typo later.

……

A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and having lived in the United States for several years, Mr. Song is familiar with the rules of the game.

The more you can toss, the more it shows that you are capable, and you don't hide that statement.

Now that Tang Huan has been sought after by the media to this point, it can only be said that he is powerful.

Even if the business delegation was canceled and the pigeons of the treasure island were released, no one dared to do anything to others.

Before thinking about progress, thinking about retreating first, the old and spicy Mr. Song decided to find a way back for his trip.

The next day, Tang Wenmao came to Mr. Song with the itinerary to see what he planned to arrange.

"I want to see your boss soon." Mr. Song sighed.

"He's gone to New York and won't be back until a few days." Tang Wenmao replied apologetically.

Mr. Song looked at the itinerary again, all kinds of visits and plays, which can be described as hospitality, but how can he be in that mood.

"Then I'll visit a few friends first." Mr. Song waved his hand helplessly.

"I'll get the car ready." Tang Wenmao politely retired.

……

The person who was regarded as a lifesaver by Mr. Song naturally has a great background, and it is Mr. Jiang's only daughter, Miss Jiang Er, who is currently living in Auckland with her husband, son, and a family of three.

This Miss Jiang Er, who is also the only granddaughter of Mr. Jiang, has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, although she rarely returns to Treasure Island, her identity and influence are very special.

Mr. Song's idea is very simple, find someone who can speak to Mr. Jiang in advance. In case this errand is smashed. It is also good to avoid losing favor.

After the two sides met. We had a great conversation.

Miss Jiang Er's husband, Yu Yanghe, asked Mr. Song what he was doing to the United States on business this time, and Mr. Song took the opportunity to explain his intention.

"You can't complain about people's big tempers, that's the richest man in the United States, and he has added glory to the Chinese." Miss Jiang Er smiled, turned her head sideways and asked her husband, "I'm not wrong, I'm the richest man in the United States." ”

"Him and Daniel? The jury is still out on who Ludwig is the richest. But the richest man in China should live up to his name. Yu Yanghe explained carefully, "Of course, the premise is that his stock price cannot fall." ”

Everyone is a smart person, and Mr. Song's purpose is clear at all, so he didn't mention it much, and chatted about other gossip.

When it was about to be eaten, Miss Jiang Er's son Yu Zhusheng came back with a full set of baseball equipment.

Mr. Song was a little surprised, "Do you like this sport?" ”

"Berkeley University organized a Chinese team, so I participated." Lord Yu replied excitedly.

"That Boss Tang is now a student idol at Berkeley. A lot of people have joined his company, and this kid is also worried about it. Yu Yanghe shook his head with a smile.

Discover Tang Huan's influence. Even Miss Jiang's house was affected, and Mr. Song couldn't help but feel a little tasteless at the dinner table.

……

Seeing that Yu was interested in baseball, Mr. Song took the little boy with him with him under Tang Wenmao's arrangement, watched a game of the Oakland Athletics, and visited the headquarters of Zheru in Cupertino.

It just so happened that their group was in time for the founding ceremony of Adobe.

After watching the excitement, Mr. Song realized that the desktop publishing system mentioned in the newspaper before was operated by this company.

Yu Zhusheng knows a lot about the profession, and he said with admiration: "This desktop publishing system is equivalent to the printing technology of the four major inventions, and Chinese publications have the opportunity to stand on the same starting line as English publications." ”

Listening to Yu's eloquent voice, Mr. Song realized that Tang Huan's desktop publishing system has extraordinary significance in terms of cultural dissemination and economic benefits.

The small building occupied by Zheru, EA, Fangyuan Computer, Adobe, Comprehensive R&D Center, Certification Training Center and other institutions has formed a science and technology community.

Mr. Song was dazzled here, deeply shocked by the huge industry under Tang Huan's name, and at the same time, his desire to see Tang Huan became more and more urgent, but Tang Wenmao's answer was still that he was in New York, which made Mr. Song very crazy.

……

Tang Huan was really busy, and he didn't deliberately treat Mr. Song coldly, of course, by the way, he would be happy to see the other party.

After the official release of IBM-PC, its impact was manifested in various aspects.

For example, although the production capacity of IBM-PC has not yet been fully launched, several dealers have boldly placed orders of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In terms of publicity, IBM-PC finally examined a number of celebrities. Chaplin's character of the tramp in the movie was very well received for his creative advertising, and it also showed that the IBM-PC was indeed very different from the previous products of the blue giant.

In terms of sales channels, IBM-PC, like ordinary electrical appliances, has entered traditional stores and put up eye-catching counters.

These are all real knives and guns on the surface, as well as all kinds of insidious tricks outside the plate.

One of the most loss-making hands is that Intel's processor production capacity is occupied by IBM-PC's Intel8088, and other manufacturers only get a very small amount of Intel8086 quota.

In this regard, Tang Huan is really nervous, although he has been actively stockpiling goods earlier, for example, a batch directly purchased 50,000 Intel8086 and MC68000 from Intel and Motorola, but it can't stand the high consumption, you know, not only the host of the second-generation Fangyuan computer uses this kind of CPU, but also game consoles, digital fax machines, printers and other hardware products are also inseparable from them.

Fortunately, AMD, as the second supplier, has developed a compatible replacement for Intel 8086, which can temporarily alleviate the urgent need, and wait for UMC to do the same. I believe in IBM's plan to draw salaries. It will naturally fall short.

Tang Huan can see it. Tang Dynasty? Estlic saw that it could not match the MC68000 model of the second-generation Fangyuan computer, so he simply asked IBM-PC to concentrate on facing the Intel8086 model of the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

These conventional battles are not worth Tang Huan's attention, and after he told his subordinates to deal with them carefully, he left for New York. Weinberg and John? Whitehead received him together.

No matter how big Tang Huan's face is, it won't make John? Weinberg and John? Whitehead was so flattering because it made them so appealing.

Investment companies naturally like clients to come to them for capital operations. Tang Huan sent such a business to the door.

John? Weinberg and John? Whitehead read the documents separately, his face solemn, and he was silent for a while.

"Why, you think I'm a bit delusional?" Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"Not really." John? Weinberg shook his head and glanced at Tang Huan deeply, "To be honest, Tang, I'm amazed by your ability to raise money. ”

John? Whitehead put the paperwork in order and groaned. "We need to look at it, foreign money coming into this area. Whether it is within the scope of the law. ”

John? Weinberg nodded approvingly, "Moreover, it is unknown whether the other party is willing to sell." ”

"It's because of the difficulty that I came to you, and I can't trust other investment companies." Tang Huanhui gave a top hat without any effort.

"Don't worry, we're only saying that out of caution." John? Weinberg's eyes were blazing, "If this acquisition can be negotiated, it will undoubtedly further enhance Goldman Sachs' prestige on Wall Street." ”

"Yours have patience, though." John? Whitehead smiled faintly and added.

These two are really good partners in singing and harmony, no wonder the guys on Wall Street who watched the excitement were shocked.

After Tang Huan secretly admired, he took out another document and handed it over, "The matter just now has to come step by step, but this acquisition should be completed as soon as possible." ”

"You're really rich." John? Weinberg quipped, took the file, glanced at it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You're going to buy Tandy, isn't that a leather company?" ”

"Tandy also has a personal computer business." John? Whitehead corrected, "But you don't have to buy it, a product that goes the cheap route entirely, and is even jokingly called garbage." ”

Tang Huan smiled and said nothing, John? Weinberg quickly spoke again with a sudden realization, "Don has taken a fancy to RadioShack, an electronics chain. ”

"Channels are king. The pressure from IBM cannot be underestimated, and I have to deal with it positively. Tang Huan explained with feeling.

RadioShack, similar to Suning and Gome, is an extremely famous chain of electronic goods stores, and now there are thousands of stores distributed throughout the United States, Mexico, and even Europe, otherwise Tandy's TRS-80, a personal computer toy of several hundred dollars, would not be able to far exceed Apple, Commodore and other peers in sales.

In the original time and space, RadioShack survived until the era when online shopping was popular, but because of its poor business performance, it was on the verge of bankruptcy and was targeted by Amazon and other e-commerce companies with the purpose of acquisition.

In the beginning, RadioShack and Tandy were two completely different companies, the former was founded in 1921 and started out as a radio equipment, and the latter was founded in 1919 and was in the leather business.

By 1963, RadioShack was in serious debt and the bank was worried that it would not be able to recoup its loans, so Tandy took over RadioShack.

Tandy's boss at the time, Charles Tandy - Charles? Tang Di is very clever and has turned RadioShack into a cash cow.

In 1977, the TRS-80 was officially released, making Tangdi, Kangmaoda and Apple the first industry pioneers to provide a complete host computer instead of various components for direct use.

However, in 1978, 60-year-old Tandy suddenly died of a heart attack. Caught off guard, the entire Tandy company began to be in turmoil. Even the high-level ones for leather and computer products. There is a disagreement about what should be done as the main business.

Even so. RadioShack continued to perform steadily, with the introduction of the TRS-80 ColorComputer in 1980.

RadioShack's TRS-80, priced at only a few hundred dollars, naturally has no way to compare with AppleII in terms of function, but with its price advantage, it is still very popular among amateurs, and its sales are very high, surpassing Apple.

But that's exactly what it is. RadioShack often gives the first impression that the product is waste or junk, so now, its operators are trying to downplay the RadioShack brand and replace it with Tandy.

Tang Huan wants to buy RadioShack now, it is not the best time, after all, its performance has been eye-catching in recent years, but he is very open-minded, and the large amount of cash he has accumulated in his hand is not just to cope with the occasional needs like this time.

Zheru's own sales and service network nodes are currently distributed in large cities. Not even as good as Apple.

It stands to reason that such a layout is almost sufficient. Some tasks are left to the dealer.

But after seeing the appeal of the blue giant with his own eyes, Tang Huan immediately felt the crisis brought about by the gathering of applicants.

Since there are many inconveniences in the network being controlled by people, and it takes time to build, it is better to buy ready-made ones directly.

As a result, RadioShack has become Tang Huan's goal, if he wins this network, with its chain ability, at least small items such as game cartridges, software disks and other consumer goods, can almost be regarded as directly in front of the user's eyes.

After further communication, John? Weinberg and John? Whitehead looked at each other and smiled, and the former said, "We will make a plan for this acquisition as soon as possible, you can wait for good news." ”

……

And John? Weinberg, John? After Whitehead had dinner, Tang Huan hurriedly went to Corporal Lixian to invite Carter to San Francisco, and the position he had prepared for the other party was that of an independent director and vice president of Shennong Fund.

Don't look at Carter's resignation, but his identity is special after all, and it is impossible to really focus all his energy on an organization, and he still has a lot of things to do.

When Tang Huan accompanied Carter to visit the Shennong Fund and introduce measures to him in terms of HIV prevention and treatment, education and other aspects, it happened that Mr. Song also came here to watch the excitement.

Mr. Song, who hid his shock in his heart, took a look at the hole, pulled Tang Huan's arm and said with a wry smile: "Brother, you can't keep hanging me like this, give me a chance to talk about it, otherwise I won't be able to deal with my brother." ”

"I don't dare to snub my brother." Tang Huan nodded, "When I have arranged this big Buddha properly, the two of us will talk about it in detail." ”

……

Mr. Song, who was patient, was finally able to sit down with Tang Huan and talk about things, and quickly went straight to the point, "Brother, the business delegation was canceled very suddenly, and there was no preparation on the treasure island." ”

"What else do you need to prepare for the cancellation?" Tang Huan smiled disappreciatively.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything about it, Mr. Song, who was usually considered a high-ranking and powerful person, had no temper at all, so he cautiously tried to say, "Is there someone on the treasure island who is upsetting the old brother?" ”

"Brother, you're really right, we have a tacit understanding, but Li Jun has been very unhappy recently, she was scolded in the newspaper, and she even went to Xiangjiang to hold a concert, but she was stuck with a small visa, and no one instructed her, is it possible?" Tang Huan is also open and honest.

There are many factions on the treasure island, and the following people want to ask for credit, so I can't make it clear that I oppose it.

And these bits and pieces, Mr. Jiang, who is not in good health, does not have the energy to know.

On the contrary, he also attaches great importance to your business delegation, and specially asked me to ventilate with you in advance, so that we can have a good conversation during the meeting.

You're picking a pick now, how can I make a difference.

He Yici is just a technical official, naturally he will not understand the thoughts of bureaucrats and politicians, and when he heard that the business delegation was canceled, he was anxious, "How can this be, Acer, Lianhua, Hon Hai...... A large number of companies are waiting to take over the project, how can I explain it. ”

Mr. Song snorted lightly, and said in his heart that no matter how difficult you are to explain to the people below, they don't dare to do anything to you, if I make the top boss dissatisfied, it will only be a matter of minutes to lose the black yarn hat.

Seeing Mr. Song's displeased face, He Yici coughed lightly and regained his composure, "Since the business delegation has been canceled, will we still go to the United States?" ”

"Of course we have to go, otherwise, we won't be able to make a difference." Mr. Song replied angrily.

……

After getting off the plane, Mr. Song did not see Tang Huan, and his personal assistant Tang Wenmao picked up the plane and was responsible for the itinerary.

In this regard, Mr. Song didn't feel that he was being treated slowly, who made Tang Fa trace so quickly, and he had to believe it if he said that he had every opportunity.

Besides, this Tang Wenmao is Tang Huan's distant cousin, and he definitely belongs to a figure who is not in a high position but has real power, which should not be underestimated.

After staying at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco's affluent area, Mr. Song had nothing to say, with such a high standard of hospitality, he couldn't find a place to pick and choose.

After Tang Wenmao left, Mr. Song hurried to the newspaper to learn about the local situation.

When the San Francisco Chronicle opened, the headlines were: Wall Street darlings set their sights on new frontiers, and desktop publishing systems sparked an industrial revolution.

Mr. Song understands that this is a new product launched by the company under Tang Huan's name, what are the two major standards OpenType and PostScript, (to be continued......)
