You know, not long ago, on the night of December 8, 1980, the famous British Beatles musician John Lennon, that is, John? Lennon, who was shot dead in front of his apartment in New York by so-called fans, was only 40 years old. Foster couldn't help but think about the worst.

After interrogation, this guy's name is Edward Richardson, that is, Edward? Richardson, did you stalk Judy on the Yale campus? Foster, and planned to pick an opportunity to shoot the star, but the idea of her being "too pretty" was shaken by the idea that she was "too pretty".

That is, the person's indecision to make Judy? Foster escaped.

More so Judy? Foster was frustrated that the other party was not the same person who had been harassing her by mail lately.

But anyway, Judy? Foster hopes that this matter can be controlled within a certain range to minimize the impact on her normal life. Once known by the media, there will be no peace.

"I think you should take another vacation." Tang Huan gave Judy? Foster suggested, "And it's best to have your family with you." ”

"I'll think about it." Judy? Foster nodded, "You'd better hurry to Washington." ”

The other party's maturity is far beyond her age, and Tang Huan didn't ask her how she would deal with it, after all, her itinerary had been planned for a long time, and it was not easy to disrupt it.

……

After receiving Lin Qingfang, Tang Huan didn't have to make any excuses this time, and directly dragged the beauty and lived in the same room of the Washington Hilton Hotel in pairs, and the next absurdity can be imagined.

As the saying goes, men conquer the world to win women, and women conquer men to win the world.

Although Lin Qingbian would not have thought of this. But she saw that Tang Huan was so obsessed with herself. I can't help but rejoice in my heart. As for those worldly troubles, they have long been thrown out of the clouds.

In addition to the charter king, Robert? Except for Bartley and other acquaintances, Tang Huan did not take this opportunity to deliberately make friends with political and business celebrities, so he was very relaxed.

Although it is the era of the Cold War, after all, 911, official residences such as the White House, and nearby areas have not happened in the original time and space. It is still quite open to the inside of the United States.

Therefore, there are more and more attractions to visit, and Tang Huan used his knowledge to conquer Lin Qingfang again.

Carter, who stepped down, went to pick up the hostages released by Iran, and Tang Huan did not find a chance to discuss with the other party about coming to Shennong Fund on an errand, which was a little regrettable.

The presidential inauguration ceremony is an American blockbuster, and after watching the excitement, everyone can do whatever they want.

Lin Qingbian was coaxed by Tang Huan to agree to come out and live alone, which was the biggest gain of this trip. The rest was not put in his eyes.

After Tang Huan sent away Lin Qingfang, who had once again been broken by himself and the fortress of reserve, he got up and came to the 3COM headquarters. The other party was released several times in a row, and he was a little unhappy.

These shareholders are forcing Robert? Metcalfe made a military order to grow 3COM's assets to $60 million within a certain period of time, and recruited an executive from HP to serve as CEO. Metcalfe's power can be described as painstaking, and it also illustrates the psychology of these people's "thirst for money".

For greedy people, there is no more effective way to discuss it than by directly presenting benefits.

Tang Huan, who had been prepared for a long time, said unashamedly: "DEC's small computer, the price is several times that of the second-generation Fangyuan computer, but the number of network cards in the main chassis is not this multiple. So, without me going into too much detail, you should also understand who it is more cost-effective to work with. ”

Seeing that these people nodded frequently, Tang Huan began to talk about reliable topics seriously, "The second-generation Fangyuan computer will use server/customer technology on the infrastructure of operating systems and databases, so that the concept of lower-cost personal computers and network assistance can be perfectly combined. ”

Tang Huan's achievements and eloquence are added together, which is extraordinarily persuasive. And the shareholders of 3COM also forgot their previous vigilance and resentment, and completely surrendered with a smile.

After getting rid of these non-technical mallets, Tang Huancai and Robert? Metcalfe talks about the actual operation, "You're mainly responsible for promoting industry standards, I'm in charge of the practical application, and the most attractive software function for business users right now is probably the database-centric information management system." ”

To this, Robert? Metcalfe has no objection and has agreed on the production of network cards and hubs, as for the more basic technical communication such as communication protocols, because it is too complicated, it is beyond the scope of this discussion.

According to Tang Huan's meaning, when IBM's personal computer was launched, the network function of the second-generation Fangyuan computer should reach the level of actual use.

……

After the 3COM is enveloped, Tang Huan is ready to start the final step of EA's backdoor listing, which began to be implemented in the United States as early as 1934, and after decades of development, it has now become very mature.

Moreover, in the past few years, the economic environment in the United States has been not good, and many listed companies have reduced their revenues and their market value has fallen sharply, which has created many opportunities for other private companies to use their "shells" to achieve the purpose of going public.

Compared with Apple, which had a successful IPO before, he had gone through cumbersome procedures such as hiring auditors and contractors, printing a large number of prospectuses, and listing hearings, Tang Huan, who absolutely controlled EA, naturally chose more, and when he was vague about the outside world, he decided to use the most time-saving and labor-saving listing method.

You must know that the current wave of video games in the United States is irrationally fanatical, and if you miss this village, there will be no such store, and EA, which is obviously worse than Apple, if you want to take the path of IPO, you can only say that you can't afford it, and you must exchange space for time and interests for progress.

So, Tang Huan, who deeply understood that it was impossible for one person to make all the money, naturally used the method of equalizing benefits as usual.

Let Warren? It is naturally not difficult for an investment master like Warren Buffett to help make a good "shell", as for injecting EA's assets into the "shell". Tang Huan is looking for Goldman Sachs to carry out specific operations. And some related news. In particular, it is issued in the name of EA and is about to be disclosed.

This action can be regarded as a Lunar New Year gift from Tang Huan to himself, and by the way, Warren, who has always been shy away from investment in the high-tech industry? Warren Buffett, see your own means.

As a result, when Tang Huan was talking about this in New York, his other toy Fisher salvage fleet stabbed the hornet's nest. Fisher reported that they had found their target. And after turning the day, this news spread all over the United States as if it had grown wings, and became the third major hot topic of public opinion after Reagan became president of the United States and the Iranian hostage crisis was resolved.

In fact, Tang Huan had a clear understanding that he was able to successfully find the treasure of the Lady Atoka.

Originally, this deed has become an inspirational story of the American version of the iron pestle grinding into a needle, and the relevant information has also been known through long-term ownership lawsuits, the Fisher Maritime Museum, etc., so that he can find one by one.

But the new target now does not fall into this category. Although Tang Huan was confident that he would find it, he didn't expect it to be so fast. I don't know if it's Mel? Fisher, the treasure hunter, has exploded.

When Tang Huan arrived in Florida, he found that the matter had been widely reported by the media. I can't help but be a little angry.

You must know that the Lady Atoka is a merchant ship, and whoever finds it is his, as long as you have the capital to afford a legal ownership lawsuit.

But the newly discovered ship, the Virgin Mary? The Liberation, on the other hand, has a clear affiliation and is a large Spanish warship in history.

If this matter is still in a secret state, Tang Huan thinks that it is possible to deny the identity of this ship through some private operations.

In Spain, there are many museums that preserve the records of the Age of Discovery, and even if a shipwreck is shipwrecked, its crew list, cargo list, route, sinking location and other information are archived for future generations to study.

Now that everyone knows about this matter, I believe that the identity of this ship will soon surface, and it is difficult to deny that there is no buffer time to be sloppy.

Seeing Tang Huan frowning, Mel? Fisher and the other sailors were not stupidly happy either, realizing that their hard work was most likely to have made a wedding dress for someone else.

At this time, the lawyer who arrived said his reasoning, "Our side must be tight-lipped on our side, it should be the leaked news from the Florida side." ”

"It's not important to pursue this anymore." Tang Huan sighed, picked up the record of the items initially discovered, and flipped through them.

17 boxes of gold bricks, more than 100 gold cigarette cases, a gold-handled sword, a gold watch, six pairs of diamond earrings, a diamond ring, seven cases of agate jadeite, as well as countless Spanish gold coins, sterling silver nuggets, silver ore, various silver items and several large chests of gems of various colors.

In addition, there were cocoa, blue dye, and several large boxes of Chinese fans, the latter of which must have been sent to Mexico by the Philippine treasure ship across the Pacific Ocean.

Even if he knew from the information in the original time and space that this was a giant treasure ship worth 2 billion pounds, Tang Huan was still stunned.

Playing with some small objects that were salvaged, he couldn't help but admire, "People hundreds of years ago can really be looted." ”

"What now?" Mel? Fisher asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, no matter what, we should still be able to take a hard fee." Tang Huan replied lightly, "Wait and see." ”

After sending the rest of the crew away, Tang Huan left Mel? Fisher consulted with his lawyer about the relevant legal issues and deduced the possible next developments.

But the waves have risen, but it is so easy to quiet down, and the media are flocking to find out the secret of Fisher's repeated treasure hunting successes, Mel? Fisher already had a lot of experience in dealing with it, so Tang Huan pushed him out, and he hid behind and watched coldly.

……

"Mr. Fisher, someone has already deduced from historical sources that the treasure ship you found was a large Spanish warship hundreds of years ago, is that right?"

"I can't fully confirm it yet, and I can't give you a positive answer."

"How is it possible, you must have done your homework before you went to that location to salvage."

"What's so strange about this, there are at least a few hundred shipwrecks in this area, and who can say for sure, it's the ship you mentioned."

"Mr. Fisher. In just one year. Your fleet has already made two major discoveries. Plus now this time, I'm afraid it can't be described as lucky, there must be some secrets in it, please disclose some. ”

"You can really embarrass me, then let's talk about it, I think it should be because of the preparation and advanced equipment."

"That's a secret weapon, what equipment is used?"

"It's still a lot. Examples include satellite phones, GPS, sonar, undersea cameras, diving robots, and personal computers that perform statistical programs. ”

"How do you feel like you're about to catch up with the warship, can you let us take a tour?"

"Well, if you promise not to take pictures, I can promise to take you to see it."

……

See Mel? Fisher took the reporters away, Tang Huan shook his head, feeling that he was no longer suitable to stay here, it was better to hurry back to New York, anyway, there was already an established procedure for this kind of thing to be handled by this group of people. No need for his intervention.

As it turned out, Tang Huan was prescient.

The swift action of the Florida District Court announced. Shennong Fund has the right to dispose of this batch of property, which means that Fisher can lead the fleet to salvage this batch of goods, which is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

First of all, the media swore that they had found the reason for the success of Fisher's salvage fleet, which was the use of a large amount of high-tech equipment.

But the other party didn't allow them to take pictures, and the reporters finally got permission to shoot the Fangyuan computer used for data statistics, as well as the Xiaobawang game console that the crew entertained in their spare time.

Obviously, Fisher entrained the private goods and let the media do free advertising.

In addition, Texas oil tycoon Jack Grim was also shot while lying down, and you declared so high-profile that you must look for the silent position of the Titanic, but how come there has been no news until now? Let's learn from Fisher how to use high-tech equipment.

Then, historians came to the fore and concluded that the wreck found by Fisher's salvage fleet was a large warship that had been ordered by King Charles III of Spain to transport the treasure to the Spanish mainland, and that the value of the treasure was estimated to be billions of dollars.

Then, the voice of the political plane emerged.

In Washington, Spain's ambassador to the United States declared that only Spain was the sole owner of this "golden ship under the sea."

Under the terms of the 1902 treaty between the United States and Spain, Spain had ownership of the Spanish shipwreck in U.S. waters, so it was already certain that the ship belonged to Spain.

The wreck was the undersea grave of the Spanish crew who were killed, and the contents on board belonged to Spain, so Spain had full control over the wreck.

France also claimed partial disposal rights, because when it sank, King Charles III of Spain was at war with the British, all the warships were on the front line, and Spain had to charter the ships of the French West India Company to transport strategic supplies.

So, the wreck was actually a French ship, and the crew was all French, with only a few top management being Spaniards.

Look, this is the tearing war caused by the leaked news, and it will definitely not stop if it doesn't go through for a while, Tang Huan, who is concerned about the development of the situation, shook his head and sighed again and again.

Obviously, on the cusp of this kind of public opinion, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and let the lawyers of Florida and Shennong Fund charge forward in order to test the true attitude of the relevant parties.

So Tang Huan decided that he should first promote the backdoor listing of EA, and at this time there were rumors on Wall Street that the largest video game supplier in the United States had already reached the final stage of listing, and it was Goldman Sachs who took on the good business of the asset portfolio of new and old companies.

The employees of Zheru, EA, and Fangyuan Computer under Tang Huan's name received an internal letter with the title "New Year's Gift from Tang to Everyone", which contained a personal job number and a few strings of numbers.

Everyone's hearts are pounding, this is EA's stock options, I really love the Chinese New Year, this is the second additional benefit.

When the hearts of his subordinates were happy, Tang Huan and his team roamed around Wall Street. With the experience and connections of Apple's previous IPO, combined with the memories of his past life in his mind, he can be considered to be at ease.

When the reporters took the opportunity to catch Tang Huan, in addition to the listing of EA, they naturally inevitably asked some irrelevant questions, "The Shennong Fund you founded has found a huge treasure and caused diplomatic disputes. ”

I naturally hope that Spain and France will go as far as they can, and Tang Huan, who muttered a sentence in his heart, replied against his will, "I didn't expect the decision of the Florida District Court to cause such controversy, and I hope that a solution acceptable to all parties will emerge as soon as possible." ”

"Fisher thinks that the key to the success of the treasure hunt fleet is the use of advanced equipment, don't you think?" Obviously, the reporters wanted to get more gossip from Tang Huan.

"In addition to using more technology, we should also look at history." Tang Huan laughed and changed the topic, "For example, when I was in college, I liked history very much, and I just tried to write a book called "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers", and I would like you to advertise it on my behalf." ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Tang to be so knowledgeable, in addition to being proficient in technology, he is also quite accomplished in history." The reporters flattered them very unkindly and hypocritically, and then finally returned to the main topic related to the backdoor listing, "You didn't predict how much your net worth will reach after EA goes public?"
