In the midst of a lot of serious news, there are always people who like to mix some lace news into it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I don't know which tendon was twitched, but the BBC adopted a photo sent back from Japan by its reporters, accompanied by the eye-catching title of "The richest man and the emperor's grandson are not in harmony", which instantly caused a huge sensation and became a super-heavyweight gossip report that complemented the "Iran-Contra" in the United States.

I saw that Prince Deren's hand in the picture was stretched out in mid-air, and Tang Huan on the opposite side turned his face to the side and did not give any response, and the embarrassing atmosphere was simply overwhelming.

Why is it so troublesome? The British newspaper The Sun quickly analyzed the answer.

Because the 26-year-old imperial grandson this year, Chun was moved, and he fell in love with the richest man's female secretary and Tian Masako, and then launched a pursuit, which caused Tang Huan's unhappiness, which gave the other party a dismount.

So, this is a veritable jealousy incident.

The current Masako Wada is not an unknown person, she often appears behind the richest man in media reports, and has become the main public relations target for the Japanese side to understand Tang Huan's dynamics, and recently she has often accompanied Princess Diana and the two British princes.

To put it simply, Tang Huan, who will make the world media move for him wherever he goes, has brought his beautiful female secretary to soar in popularity, especially in Japan, as if he is a star.

Now the British "Sun" has taken great pains to associate Masako Wada with that picture, which gives people more and more room for infinite reverie, so that bored people are constantly curious to ask, "What about below?" What's next? ”

Of course, there is no such thing as this, and it is impossible to have it?

For such a choreography, the parties will certainly not turn a blind eye.

After the BBC reported it, Japan's Imperial Household Agency quickly clarified: the scene in the picture was purely a ceremonial accident, and it happened that Tang Huan interacted with someone else, and he immediately apologized to the imperial grandson and had a warm and friendly conversation.

The tone of the spokesman for Tang Huan's office was much more stern, and he directly asked the BBC: What are your intentions in playing tricks with this etiquette? What about your professional qualities? Is it really going down year after year?

When the British "Sun" report came out, the Japanese Imperial Household Agency could not calm down, and immediately issued a sternly worded protest, followed by Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone summoning the British ambassador to Japan.

Tang Huan's public relations team was even more resolute, directly sending lawyers to take the BBC and the British "Sun" to court.

When it was boiling, Charles stood up to help explain: This was indeed an accident, everyone attended a charity event together, and he was on the scene, and Tang Huan was talking to him.

At this point, the BBC and The Sun naturally had only one way to go -- bow their heads and admit their mistakes. However, they are scheming, and some of them have ways to deal with it, and they bite the "work mistakes", and after apologies and loss of money, they will be gone.

Regarding this farce, Tang Huan, who had already preliminarily put an end to the matter of California high-speed rail, just sneered and made a note in the account book.

As for the truth of that photo, it doesn't matter. A royal grandson, it's not a big deal. What's more, the vast majority of Japanese people believe that this is an accident and a misunderstanding!

At this time, Tang Huan was handling the affairs of the bank, sitting with a large group of representatives of Japanese semiconductor suppliers, and the contract texts were placed in front of everyone, and the top was stacked in front of him.

Although the third echelon has been deployed as a spare tire in the supply chain, Japanese semiconductor manufacturers are still the most important suppliers at this stage.

There has been news from the United States that IBM is about to start an operation, and Tang Huan must ensure that in the next 18 months, Fangyuan Computer Company has enough ammunition to fight against him, so he has this purchase order worth more than 500 million US dollars.

What is the concept of this amount?

It is equivalent to the full-year sales of Sony Semiconductor, which ranks at the bottom of Japan, one-fifth of the full-year sales of Motorola Semiconductor, which ranks first in the United States, and one-sixth of the full-year sales of NEC Semiconductor, which ranks first in the world.

It is impossible for Tang Huan to hand over such a large order to one supplier, but to allocate it to several suppliers according to his own risk-benefit model.

The reason why everyone is sitting together with a smile on their faces now is because they are about to finish dividing the fruit.

Of course, there are also people who slander: you have to have such a signing ceremony, Tai Nima can pretend to be forced!

But then again, because of this, even laymen can realize how important Tang Huan's value is.

At the reception later, Tang Huan looked forward enthusiastically: "The personal computer has entered the era of 32-bit architecture, which is the real golden beginning. Graphical user interfaces, video games, graphic animation design, web ...... and so on a wider range of applications, which requires the continuous improvement of Fangyuan computer hardware specifications, which depends on your continued support in the future. ”

……

After a basket of preferential conditions and a round of money for the purchase order, Tang Huan inspected Zheru Japan, Epson, Yamaha, EA Japan, Taidong and other industrial clusters, as well as strategic partners such as Sharp. The most important thing is the technology, capacity, and cost performance of LCD and lithium-ion batteries.

In fact, with the advancement of the digital age, Tang Huan's IT technology is rapidly penetrating into traditional industries, and the recently promoted video wall and VCD are such examples.

For some of these products, the market promotion progress is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

For example, the video wall driven by computer graphics technology has become a hit since the official debut of the Eurovision Song Contest in May this year.

Heungjiang's Media Asia TV and TVB have adopted this product in their studios. Especially through the influence of the 2nd Miss Chinese Contest, it has made those venues that often hold large-scale events flock to it.

The small Kojiang is just a microcosm, and the reaction of the Japanese side is no different.

In terms of video games, Shigeru Miyamoto, who has been packaged as a star producer, launched a new design for the Japanese market earlier this year, "The Legend of Zelda", which has just been released to the US market.

Tang Huan has paid little attention to specific products, but he still paid attention to it this time.

Compared to Shigeru Miyamoto's previous works, The Legend of Zelda is quite difficult to play, but it is still very popular, and has sold more than 1 million copies.

In this, Taidong's operation has contributed a lot. It has created a club of players with more than one million members.

It introduced a preferential policy for The Legend of Zelda, which means that any game purchaser who sends back an authorized card will become a member of the Players Club and enjoy some additional services, such as game cheats, etc.

What is even more special is that The Legend of Zelda, which benefits from this, in turn, attracts the children's group through hints such as in-game rooms, hidden keys, passages, etc.

In Tang Huan's eyes, the results of this kind of game community culture construction really surprised him.

Nowadays, Mr. The richest man has more and more industries, but his energy is limited, and he is worried about enjoying life, so he naturally can't always teach his subordinates how to do it hand in hand as before.

So, while EA sits high on the throne of the industry hegemon, the small companies with minimal constraints and amazing creativity are still very threatening.

How do you build player loyalty? Game culture is a software weapon that naturally becomes the best choice. And Taidong practiced it again in "The Legend of Zelda".

Tang Huan chatted with the relevant team with great interest about such issues, and asked Taidong if he had any game publications of his own.

Now that the industry is getting bigger and bigger, it is difficult to rely on partners such as the magazine founded by Son to take care of it, and in the end, you have to rely on yourself.

As soon as the discussion ended, the assistant sent me a fax from the United States. After Tang Huan glanced at it, he immediately ordered, "Set off for the United States immediately." ”

……

Originally, even though IBM was almost holding back and was about to enlarge its moves, Tang Huan still wanted to go to Funan after his trip to Japan.

Since the death of Le Duan, the supreme leader of Annan's pro-Soviet Union, in July this year, and the succession of the pro-China Long March, the relationship between Funan and Annam has changed dramatically.

With the national economy on the verge of collapse and the Soviet Big Brother's aid in the long run, Annan desperately wanted to get out of the quagmire of Funan. This made the focus of the contradiction in Funan begin to shift.

In this context, Tang Huan planned to go over and actually understand the situation there.

But the fax just sent made Tang Huan have to change his mind. This is because Bank of America, the financial core of the California consortium, is being subjected to a hostile takeover. As a result, Bank of America sent an invitation to Mr. the richest man to meet.

In the years since the outbreak of the Latin American sovereign debt crisis, it is not only the American Ocean Bank, in which HSBC has a stake, has been dragged down miserably, but the American banks also have large amounts of non-performing loans in these third world countries, which in turn has led to a sharp drop in stock prices and has become the target of hostile takeovers.

The initiator of this capital war was the First Intercontinental Bank in Los Angeles, which directly smashed $3.2 billion in a violent manner, and although the Bank of America was in an embarrassment, it did not want to end up like this, so it immediately launched a rebellion.

In fact, Bank of America and First Intercontinental Bank have a long history, and just over 30 years ago, the two sides were one family. It has to do with how they have evolved.

Bank of America was founded by Italian-American banker Amadi Giannini, a powerful man who could compete with the traditional Morgan consortium and amassed a large fortune during his lifetime.

However, after the death of Amadi Giannini in 1949, the financial empire he left behind gradually fell apart under the antitrust laws.

First of all, the insurance business became independent and became the former owner of Pan Am, the first Hollywood company acquired by Tang Huan - United States.

Then, the Intercontinental business was spun off and became what is now the first Intercontinental Bank.

Monopoly is a kind of nature and trend, and due to factors such as the development of the situation and the pursuit of interests, the antitrust bill in the United States often has to be compromised in the end.

Just like the separation of commercial and investment banks in the 1930s, but in the end it was possible to seize the bank securities.

Now, the first Intercontinental Bank, which has developed well, plans to take advantage of the serious illness of Bank of America to take it down and become a family again.

Although this approach seems quite sentimental, the financial world that only talks about profit does not value this, and Bank of America still wants to maintain its original independent position.

……

Tang Huan showed up in the conference room with Louis Gerstner, who was born in American Express.

Alden Clausen, the new CEO of Bank of America, solemnly introduced their arrival to the audience.

In the wake of the mismanagement crisis, Bank of America fired its former chief executive, Sam Amacoste, and asked Alden Clausen, who had just stepped down as president of the World Bank this year, to turn the tide.

In fact, Alden Clausen is a veteran candidate for Bank of America, having previously been CEO of Bank of America, having left that position as president of the World Bank, and now he has come full circle and come back.

In order to save itself, the main measure of the Bank of America was to sell some assets, including a bank founded by Amadi Giannini in Milan, Italy.

The Tang family investment fund managed by Tang Wenmao and Zhuang Menghua helped the female ship king Christina to aim at this goal.

In the process of contact, Bank of America found that Tang Huan was a good candidate for the White Knight, so this meeting took place.

As a fresh fried chicken in a California consortium, Tang Huan is no stranger to the gang in front of him, and first said directly to the point: "I am not familiar with the bank, and my ambition is not big, and the cooperation conditions are mainly the strong adoption of my IT application solutions by Bank of America, such as wealth management business, Visa credit card, etc." ”

This is Tang Huan's true thoughts, the water in the financial field is too deep, especially with many traditional forces with a long history, and they can't break into the door with a fight, as long as they can get satisfactory financing services, as well as speculative returns from clever hands. If the pickled girl becomes a husband and the stock speculation becomes a shareholder, it will add a needless burden.

All in all, the current principle of doing things is that everyone should not violate the river water, and no one should cross the line.

As for Bank of America, which is headquartered in San Francisco, it is mainly because of its status that is not comparable to Standard Chartered Bank that makes Mr. The richest man moved.

The Bank of America, which is deeply wary, gives the opportunity to the White Knights is quite rare. If it misses it, it may have to wait until next year, when the cause of the original time and space has not been determined, and whether there will be another global stock market crash that is unknown.

Alden Clausen replied with an embarrassed face: "On the list of assets to be sold this time, the wealth management business is also among them, and it has been almost discussed with Charles Schwab on the transaction. ”

"You can't even sell Visa, will you?" Tang Huan quipped.

"Not really." Alden Clawson shrugged his shoulders and asked, "There are no more obstacles to the California high-speed rail project, right?" ”

"That's one of my big attractions." Tang Huan, who had this thought flashing in his heart, nodded, and happily gave the other party the answer he wanted, "The funds have basically been raised, even if the federal appropriation is delayed, there will be no problem." I think Bank of America should be able to provide some services. (To be continued.) )
