Chapter 1076: Don's Touching Reason

……

How can companies compete for "traffic" in this "Super Bowl". The richest man didn't bother to bother, he only focused on building a decent cheering group for his luxury toy, the Oakland Raiders.

To this end, Tang IT invited celebrities from Silicon Valley to gather at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, the capital of Georgia, to enjoy the first "Super Bowl" of the new century.

This list even includes those opponents in the IT circle who have fought with Tang Huan all over the place.

For example, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McRiney, etc., as for the former congressional hearings, who sensationally said, "Please raise your hand if you have not used Zheru Software products", and then the famous Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale, has long been washed away by the waves and does not know where to beg for a living.

Scott McRiney maintained his demeanor as a gentleman, but Larry Ellison was reluctant to come over to cheer on Mr. The Richest Man, and in the end it was Steve Jobs who stepped in to get it.

In the final analysis, it is because of the strength of Mr. The richest man himself that those opponents who have various dislikes with him are in a dilemma.

If you want to watch Tang Huan's grand event of "an arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops come to meet each other", it means that you are isolated and isolated;

I don't care about loneliness like this, and I can't stand the gossip media on the spotting, so I arrange it with nonsense, "Why did you mix it up so badly, you didn't even get an invitation", "Why did you mix it up so cowardly, you didn't even have the courage to go to the meeting alone" Yunyun.

The bigwigs are beautiful on the surface, but they are also bitter in their hearts!

Take Jobs, who believed that "carrot juice cures all diseases", and was forced to have an open operation, which is an indescribable bitter tear.

The elderly man recovered well after the operation, and no signs of cancer spread were observed, and the whole family was very happy.

However, when Tang Huan returned to the United States from Europe and met Jobs, this guy showed the kind of unhappiness that left a psychological shadow.

"Even if it cuts your faith, and it doesn't cut your brother, is it so awkward, like a husky who has been sterilized?" Tang Huan angrily shook off a document, "Zheru exempted Apple Computer from a hundred patent licensing fees, are you satisfied?" ”

After Jobs read the document in his hand, he turned his resentment into joy and said to himself: "The rope around Apple's neck has finally loosened." ”

The stupid richest man couldn't help muttering: I don't know the hearts of good people, according to your own treatment plan that seems to be spiritistic, the final outcome can only be property, wife, and children, all left to others.

In any case, the matter of "cutting the faith" is completely over, and the lively Jobs completely let go of the knot and lobbied Larry Ellison to the scene of the "Super Bowl".

……

On Sunday, January 30, 2000, the 34th Super Bowl, the finals of the 1999 season of the National Football League, was held at the Georgia Dome, which can accommodate more than 71,000 people in Atlanta.

CNN is headquartered in Atlanta, so it has sent its most capable team to track the news that can be triggered off the field by Tang Huan, the world's richest man, and U.S. Vice President Al Gore.

Today, the Super Bowl has grown into an unofficial national holiday in the United States, second only to Thanksgiving in terms of single-day food consumption, so much so that other sporting events on the day avoid it.

The NBA, for example, only holds one or two games, and it is scheduled at noon local time to coincide with the "Super Bowl" held in the evening.

The main reason why companies are willing to spend millions of dollars for just a few tens of seconds of advertising time.

And the motivation of US Vice President Al Gore to join in the fun is even more obvious, naturally he will continue to "brush his face" in front of the American people for this year's presidential election.

The Georgia Dome was packed. The live TV camera swept over the crowded stands and found the highly demanded presidential candidate.

Al Gore was flanked by two people, California Governor Gray Davis and Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman.

At the moment, Al Gore has not yet identified his running mate to run for the next vice president of the United States. However, there are the most rumors of a possible collaboration between him and Gray Davis and Joe Lieberman.

The series of hook-ups between Al Gore and Gray Davis against Mr. the richest man has long been known by the gossip media, and there is really nothing new to speak of.

Joe Lieberman is a well-known conservative figure in the Democratic~Democratic~Democrat Party, who has publicly criticized the actions of US President Bill Collinton in the "Zippergate" case.

Al Gore and Joe Lieberman are so close to each other to send a signal to the outside world that they are different from Bill Clinton, who has provoked the teeth of conservative forces in American society, and tend to be conservative in order to increase their chances of winning this year's election.

If Joe Lieberman were indeed chosen by Al Gore as his running mate, it would be a record for him to become the first Jewish vice-presidential candidate to appear in a major political party in the United States.

Compared with the Republic~Intraparty competing for the presidential nomination, the Democratic ~ InnerParty, Al Gore has the advantage of being the vice president of the United States, and the family is dominant, so the current momentum is very strong.

The live camera continued to move and soon found Mr. the richest man.

Tang Huan's lineup here is too luxurious, all big names in the IT industry.

On one side is Hewlett-Packard's new CEO and famous professional actress Carrie Fiorina; Benjamin Peng, the new CEO of IBM; Motorola CEO Christofo? Galvin; Intel CEO Craig Barrett; Oracle CEO Larry Ellison; Scott McRinney, CEO of Sun Microsystems, among others;

On the other side is Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer; Microsoft CEO Bill Gates; AOL Time Warner Turner Co-CEO Steve Case; Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon and the man of the year last year, became the man of the year with half the sky's e-commerce.

Then there was Louis Gerstner, chairman of the Board of Management of Zheru; John Chambers, CEO of Fangyuan; Brad Swarberg, CEO of Zheru Software; EA CEO Tripp Hawkins; Yahoo CEO Tim Coogle and many more.

Further down the periphery, there are countless lineups. It can only be said that the top circle of the global IT industry is all in one place! so much so that the live broadcast camera was reluctant to leave for a long time.

In ABC's live room, match commentator Boomer Ishason exclaimed indiscriminately: "If the ball falls here, I don't know how many dollars it will hit?" ”

Sports host Alan Richard Maccles seriously guessed: "I guess there will be more than a trillion dollars!" ”

In the live broadcast room of the cable news network, similar comments are also being made, and even began to analyze the doorways where these big names in the IT field are surrounded by stars and moons around Mr. The richest man sits.

For example, Hewlett-Packard CEO Carrie Feorina sat next to Tang Huan, which was interpreted as a very gentlemanly respect for the female executive by the Silicon Valley leader.

However, the final conclusion can only be that the mystery of distinguishing between high and low status is not impossible, but it is of little significance. The richest man who talked and laughed with Jobs and Gates is obviously reminiscing about the past eventful years with his old friends who worked hard in the IT field.

If you talk too much about these things, you lose their freshness, so everyone quickly turned their attention back to the entertainment attribute of the "Super Bowl".

Before the opening of the Super Bowl and during the intermission, there will also be many pop singers and musicians performing. And this year's event was contracted by Yanle Entertainment Group.

As the first "Super Bowl" of the 21st century, there will naturally be a link to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future.

The opening session of the "Super Bowl" is a celebration of "Great Twentieth-Century American Music", showcasing unique American music styles including gospel, classical, country, rock, etc., performed by the "Queen of Rock" Tina Turner, the Georgia Institute of Technology Band, and the Georgia Choir.

Of course, how could the occasion be without patriotism, American country music singer Faith Hill sang the American national anthem.

It was almost lively, everyone was full of food and drink, and the "Super Bowl" started on time.

Any team will have a cycle of ups and downs, and the richest man's luxury toy, the Oakland Raiders, has completed the team's rebuilding in just two seasons, so the Tennessee Titans are not a "mountain of gold", and the competition between the two is still very strong.

Of course, Mr. The richest man, who is not bad for money, must also reflect the advantage of deep pockets, that is, the Oakland Raiders have a powerful quarterback, Kurt Warner, who can be described as in great shape, and when the second quarter of the game ended, he sent the Tennessee Titans a 9:0 score.

Boomer Ixasson, a game commentator who is also a quarterback, couldn't help but praise: "Kurt Warner's competitive state tonight is really good! I bet the MVP title belongs to him. ”

Sports host Alan Richard McCkeys laughed: "Don was watching the game, and the entire Oakland Raiders players were very excited. ”

"It occurred to me that if the Oakland Raiders ended up winning this Super Bowl, would California Governor Gray Davis, sitting next to Mr. Vice President, go over and congratulate the Oakland Raiders?"

Bumo Ishasson grinned heartlessly and laughed: "I can't guess, I hope that when the game is over, the live camera will not forget to pay attention to it." ”

At this time, the live broadcast camera has fallen on the side of US Vice President Al Gore, for the backwardness of the Tennessee Titans, he maintained a calm and detached demeanor, without a trace of fireworks, which further confirmed that watching the game is fake, with the strong popularity of the "Super Bowl", brushing his face is real.

At this time, a preliminary result has been counted about the ratings of the "Super Bowl", and more than 80 million viewers across the United States have tuned in to watch the game.

This year's Super Bowl, there is also a special feature related to IT technology, that is, the live TV signal adopts the high-definition standard of Zheru to which a lot of technology has been contributed, as well as 5.1 channels.

During the intermission, in the live broadcast rooms of various TV stations, this new viewing experience was mentioned from time to time.

Of course, people are even more impressed by the advertising after pop diva Celine Dion sang a song.

、、、、E-、、、、、、Netpliance、、、…… It's like thousands of horses galloping in, which makes people's brains tingle.

"Trash!" Jobs snorted disdainfully after glancing at the big screen.

The richest man smiled slightly, "Indeed, compared to the "1984" advertisement on the Mac computer 16 years ago, these advertisements are vulgar fans in the 'Super Bowl'. ”

Gates, who still didn't know how many times he had been cut off by Tang Huan, and the aura that had been lost, sighed, "However, these companies have so much money in their hands that they can squander at will." ”

After such a sigh, the game resumed.

In the end, the score between the Oakland Raiders and the Tennessee Titans was fixed at 23:13. This also means that after the reconstruction, the former will usher in a new cycle of prosperity.

It can be seen that US Vice President Al Gore doesn't care about winning or losing the game at all, and after the results came out, he went to the Tennessee Titan to offer a few words of cordial condolences, and then patted his ass and left.

As for California Governor Gray Davis, the live camera finally failed to catch it and disappeared!

The richest man, who was surrounded by reporters, faced the first question very rarely.

"Don, do you remember how many Super Bowls the Oakland Raiders won?"

Tang Huan, who knew everything, looked around in embarrassment after listening to it, but couldn't answer.

"It's the Oakland Raiders who have won so many times that I can't remember clearly, or the Oakland Raiders, it's not Don's true love at all." Everyone laughed.

In the extremely lively atmosphere, an extremely sharp question was suddenly thrown out, "Tang, there is news going viral, you are selling shares in a number of IT companies, including Fang Yuan and Zheru Software. Can you respond positively to that? ”

In an instant, the scene was so quiet that the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. Countless pairs of eyes, staring closely at Mr. the richest man.

Tang Huan's face, which had become refreshed because the Oakland Raiders won the "Super Bowl", darkened.

After a few seconds, he replied in a heavy tone: "I hope that Zheru Software Company can avoid the fate of being judged as a monopoly and being broken up. For this reason, I am willing to weaken my influence in the industry, or retire. ”

Mr. The richest man, who was once known as the strongest man in the century, was suddenly so sad that everyone present was moved.

Just kidding, the Oakland Raiders are not Don's true love; Now it seems that Tang's true love is Zheru Software Company.

In order for this software giant to avoid the fate of being dismembered and torn apart, Tang was even willing to quit the world.

Oops, this sincere emotion is so touching, my nose is so sour.

The reporters blinked their eyes with tears in their eyes, and at the same time recorded this exciting news at a rapid pace.

Jobs, who was standing not far away, looked at Tang Huan, who had forced himself to "cut his faith" very strongly, and after a while, he muttered in his heart: "This guy didn't win the Academy Award for Best Actor, it's too condescending!" ”
