"Just go with the flow." Tang Huan casually humbled and greeted the other party warmly.

RadioShack is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, the home of the Bush family's oil business.

After losing his bid for the Texas House of Representatives, George W. Bush is in a period of trying to make a breakthrough in business.

Now he took the initiative to come to the door uninvited, definitely in order to further consolidate the friendship between them and show the friendship of the landlords.

Walking the rivers and lakes, some people rely on a skill, and some people fight for connections. Both Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. have obviously done an excellent job in the latter.

Originally, since he ascended to the presidency, Bush Jr.'s intelligence level has been the focus of many media and rumors, and some people even simply think that Bush Jr.'s IQ is too low.

The most powerful evidence of this is, of course, the grammatical and pronunciation mistakes and incoherent manner in which George W. Bush made the subject of ridicule on the television talk show "Weekend Night Live."

But in reality, George W. Bush is not the first U.S. president to be subjected to such critical treatment.

Regardless of Bush Jr.'s IQ, there is no doubt that his emotional intelligence is absolutely sufficient, you must know that Bush Sr. and George W. Bush both generations attended the same university, Yale University, and both were members of the Skull and Bones Club. If people are really idiots, they can't play it.

Of course, although the media has not yet broken out, Tang Huan knows that during the period after George W. Bush's military service and before he got married, he did have some criminal records. These included "drinking too much" and living a debauched life, and he was arrested in Maine for drunk driving and fined $150. Revocation of local driver's license for two years.

However, this does not show from another side that Bush Jr., who was born in a famous family, was quite real in terms of being a man when he was young.

At the very least, Tang Huan is now very casual in the process of dealing with Bush Jr., and he does not have to deliberately maintain the so-called etiquette of the upper class.

The same is true for the other party, Tang Huanzheng and John? Roach was talking about things. He burst into the office.

So, Tang Huan simply asked people to find two bottles of red wine, turning the formal official negotiation into a relaxed party chat. Don French and Steve Leininger, two other important figures in RadioShack, were also called.

When the former was working as a purchasing manager, he was moved by the sight of MITS's Altair computer, and began to design similar products on his own, and tried to convince John? Roach. Let RadioShack enter the PC space.

The latter is a technical master poached from the national semiconductor company. Under the strict cost constraints, the TRS-80 was developed as an inexpensive personal computer.

In fact, how could RadioShack not know about the industry's disdain for the TRS-80 series of computers, and the unceremonious "garbage" title.

John? Roach and others tried to reverse this public image, but were powerless because the parent company, Tandy, did not agree to invest too many resources.

Although the TRS-80 series of PCs seems to be quite popular in the market, its profits are really not satisfactory. In the overall revenue of RadioShack, the proportion is not large.

And the TRS-80 series of personal computers that cost a few hundred dollars. It's a well-deserved bargain on the microcomputer market, but it's pretty much the most expensive item on the RadioShack shelves.

The data on the report is not good-looking, and the risk is still so great, and the top bosses naturally don't want RadioShack to get bogged down in the highly competitive PC market, and it is better to return to the old business.

You know, back in the mid-1970s, RadioShack had more than 3,000 branches.

Although most of them are small, they have reached the level of going deep into the grassroots in terms of layout, and the general public is basically used to buying what they need in RadioShack, and the overall sales and profits are not bad.

The difference in business philosophy prompted RadioShack to switch to the arms of the new owner, and Tang Huan also understood what these people wanted.

In fact, in the original time and space, after the IBM-PC was launched, the miscellaneous army like TRS-80 could not bear it for two or three years, even if it was changed to use the IBM-PC standard to design computers, it would not help, after all, an industry could not always be in the pioneer era.

Therefore, it is impossible for Tang Huan to continue to waste resources on the congenitally deficient TRS-80 series computer as RadioShack wishes.

Of course, this real idea, in terms of specific statements, will not be directly revealed, he is taking a roundabout route.

"For the software application of TRS-80 series computers, I will specially arrange Zheru engineers to provide upgrade support. At the same time, it should also be feasible to design a network adapter to provide an extended function to connect to the second-generation Fangyuan computer. Steve Leininger, you go to the Zheru headquarters in Silicon Valley to take care of this. ”

In between different voices, Tang Huan invested the follow-up resources of the TRS-80 series computers, limiting them to the level of software functions and limited new hardware features, and at the same time transferred Steve Leininger, the core figure of TRS-80 technology, away.

Perhaps, Silicon Valley is the real place where this person's talents can be brought into play, and the other party happily agreed.

"When I passed by a few RadioShack branches, I noticed a common and interesting phenomenon, many children who are very curious about electronic products gather there to play, and they don't even leave until their parents come to collect them." Tang Huan said with a twist.

"I'll let the following rectify these irregularities." John? Rocky hurriedly replied.

"No, that's fine." Tang Huan waved his hand. "I would suggest setting up a small showroom in the various branches of RadioShack. So that users can understand our products, such as the second-generation Fangyuan computer and Xiaobawang game console. ”

John? Luo Qi and the others nodded clearly, they understood that Tang Huan bought RadioShack for this huge and complete sales network, and now he naturally had to take some actions to quickly take advantage of this advantage.

"Also. The sales and rental of video recorders will also start soon, with film and video tapes sourced by MGM and Luen America. Don French, this matter needs you to go to Hollywood to find out the details. ”

Unconsciously. Tang Huan dismantled two of RadioShack's iron triangles.

He picked up his glass and took a sip, "Overall, RadioShack operates independently, but it also actively coordinates with Zheru and EA's service centers in major cities. As for the current priority. It is to popularize information-based office as soon as possible. ”

Obviously. Tang Huan hopes that RadioShack will follow the business route of Suning and Gome in the original time and space, and stop getting involved in unrelated business fields too much, and the various products he has launched step by step are enough for them to be busy.

Waiting for the spirited John? After Roach, DonFrench and Steve Leininger said goodbye and left, George W. Bush quipped, "Don, your computer is amazing, it can make treasure hunting more efficient." Texas oil tycoon Jack Grim plans to go to sea in search of the Titanic. It turned out to be unsuccessful both times. I heard he's preparing for a third operation following the high-tech search mode of your treasure hunting fleet. ”

"Ships sunk for different reasons. The wreckage formed on the seabed is not the same as other traces, embodied in the computer, that is, the programming of different mathematical models, and then according to the input data again and again, give the results that will help the treasure hunt, this is what you call the magic. ”

Tang Huan explained as in-depth as possible, and then smiled playfully, "However, no matter how carefully prepared in advance, it also depends on whether Lady Luck will favor the treasure hunter." ”

"It's also true, treasure hunting is more about luck than detecting oil fields." George W. Bush used his own experience to make a comparison.

"By the way, I'll introduce you to a treasure hunt ship from the military, do you want to take it?" Bush Jr. suddenly changed his words and said in a low voice.

Tang Huan squinted his eyes slightly, originally thought that the other party was simply to set up friendship, but he didn't expect that there was another purpose.

"There's no trouble here, is there?" Tang Huan asked cautiously.

"You don't have to be so careful, just help the military find the two nuclear submarines that disappeared many years ago, as long as you sign the confidentiality clause and strictly abide by it." Bush Jr. waved his hand aggressively, "The military mainly wants to see people alive and corpses when they die, and find out the truth about the wreck, especially they are worried that the nuclear reactor in the submarine will fall into the hands of the Soviets." ”

"It really scared me just now, thinking that I was going to be requisitioned to carry out some dangerous mission." Hearing that this was the case, Tang Huan made a relaxed demeanor and smiled, "I believe that the members of the treasure hunting fleet are very willing to accept this new experience. However, be sure to agree on a deadline in advance. You know, my fleet is also preparing to go to the Atlantic Ocean to find the Titanic. ”

Bush Jr. was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "In this way, isn't Jack Grim going to be disappointed for the third time, but he has boasted about Haikou in the newspapers and has been in the limelight." ”

"That's not necessarily, it all comes down to seeing who Lady Luck will favor." Tang Huan shook his head, but he was muttering in his heart, in the search for the Titanic project, he can definitely find a quasi, those who also want to brush up their reputation, it is better to wash and sleep as soon as possible.

……

George W. Bush, who was quite influential in Texas, gave Tang Huan a warm reception, and some shadows of gentleness faintly emerged.

During this period, the two couldn't help but talk about business experience.

Because his family has quite a strong foundation in the oil industry, Bush Jr. naturally inherited his father's business and became a partner or president of several companies.

"The overall oil market is not optimistic." Tang Huan shook his head, "As far as I know, the world's top Asian and Greek oil tanker companies have sought industrial transformation one after another. ”

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, and the impact of the Iran-Iraq war on the world's oil supply relationship cannot be ignored." George W. Bush frowned. Somewhat puzzled.

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, and said in his heart Who knows, but he has suffered the most. There is no doubt that it must be the Soviet Union, and without this important foreign exchange income, even the purchase of grain will become a problem in a few years.

If there is no shady thing in this, then it can only be explained by agnosticism.

Don't look at Tang Huan as a layman in the oil industry, but the speed at which he has accumulated wealth is obvious to countless people and they sincerely admire him, and Bush Jr. naturally attaches great importance to his opinion in his heart.

What's more, in terms of Tang Huan's current business status. Industry differences are no longer so important, that is, to the point where one law can be used for all laws.

"Be careful, or you won't have anything to do." George W. Bush struggled for a while. Finally, he smiled freely.

Tang Huan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your previous failure to run for the Texas House of Representatives may not have anything to do with your public popularity, so it is better to take advantage of this dormant time." Create a personal public image. In order to make a comeback. ”

"And in what way?" Bush Jr., whose heart was moved, asked with great interest.

"For example, you can start with sports and buy a major league team to play with." Tang Huan waved his hand, "Look at me, I already have three teams in my hands." ”

"I'm not as rich as you." George W. Bush shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he didn't hear it.

……

Soon, details came out of the military project that George W. Bush had contacted. They searched for two attack nuclear submarines, the Thresher Shark and the Scorpio, that sank and disappeared in the 1960s, in order to find out the cause of the wreck. And whether it is related to the USSR or not.

In fact, the military has found a man named Robert? Ballard's client, but the reputation of Fisher's treasure hunting fleet was too great, so the military decided to add another insurance, so they found an intermediary to find out.

found that this task was really as Bush Jr. said, there was nothing to be bored, as long as it was kept secret, Tang Huan readily agreed. With a little incense, it will be more convenient to use GPS in the future.

……

After thanking George W. Bush again for his thoughtful hospitality, Tang Huan left for London, England, to meet Charles.

What is called a woman fickle, Charles can be regarded as a thorough understanding, and the real estate and team that Christina introduced with great effort, in addition to the latter, the former's requirements are often changed by the other party inexplicably, which makes the crown prince feel miserable, doesn't he just want to earn a little intermediary fee, how can it be so difficult.

However, it cannot be said that Charles did not have other thoughts, and the treasure that Christina found, whether it was the part of the antiquities or the part of the pure gold and silver wealth, he wanted to keep it in England.

Charles's extra calculation is that if he can perfectly resolve this civil dispute that has made the whole of England public opinion noisy for a long time, it will undoubtedly greatly improve his public prestige, and naturally it can also add a lot of luster to his upcoming wedding ceremony.

As for the real estate and teams used in exchange, no matter who they belong to, these fixed assets cannot run out of the UK, it is nothing more than a change of housekeeper, and the other party has to invest extra money every year to maintain it.

Therefore, from a macro level, it is safe to make money and not lose money.

However, Charles, who had exhausted his calculations, couldn't stand Christina's inconsistency, so he had to repeatedly urge Tang Huan to come.

It is still a business negotiation between men that can be done cleanly and neatly, and never drag the mud and water.

Sure enough, after Tang Huan arrived, he started to do things and acted resolutely, and his first stop was to go to Chelsea Club.

The owner of this team, Brian, a representative of the Mills family? Mills finally decided to let go, and after Charles's mediation, the members of the club's board of directors, led by Chelsea Viscount Charles Cadogan, also stopped all kinds of noise and waited for a local tyrant to come as a savior.

After going around Stamford Bridge, Tang Huanxin said, it is really strange to have such a good location of real estate, but it was crippled by you.

You know, AC Milan, which you want to get into the bag, doesn't have a stadium of its own.

After the matter is completed, it will definitely be a good wealth preservation project to pull a few real estate development experts from the Xiangjiang side and jointly make use of these resources, and it can also be used as a top social tool like Abu in the original time and space.

How miserable are Chelsea now? Let's put it this way, as long as you repay the bank loan and pay the salary arrears, Brian? Mills is willing to make you the new owner of the club.

In addition, the team is currently in danger of slipping from the second division to the third division.

Whoever makes the gentlemen of the board like to debate endlessly, and do nothing at all, everyone can't go hungry and play football.

Since Charles really created the conditions, Tang Huan did not hesitate and went straight to the essence of solving the problem.

Preferred, Brian? Mills had to hand over his controlling stake before he could make a follow-up.

By this time, Brian? Mills is also scheming and grinding for the club's benefit, and the resumption of the resumption of the expansion of the stadium, which has been halted.

Tang Huan stretched out his hand impatiently, "What about the share documents." ”

Under pressure from America's richest man, Brian? Mills closed his mouth and obediently signed, completing the transfer of ownership.

With a wave of his hand, Tang Huan handed over a check to the bank representative who had been waiting beside him from beginning to end, and the other check was used by the club's finance to pay his salary.

Then, Tang Huan called all the directors, members of the coaching staff, players, administrative staff, etc., together, and said a few words concisely, "I am used to talking in person, the relegation is successful, and everyone will have a good life next season, otherwise, you know." ”

After waiting for the car, Charles, who had already received the intermediary fee, praised with a smile: "I really don't know what these people did before, or your way is straightforward, and the eyes of the coach and players have become vivid and less lifeless." (To be continued......)
