……

Don't look at the IBM-PC compatible machine in the United States, Japan, Western Europe, these major global markets, squeezed to the point that the living space is getting smaller and smaller, but in some other special areas, it still finds room to survive.

For example, due to the joint sanctions of the Western world, Fangyuan computers are inevitably restricted in the process of entering the Chinese market, and this gives IBM-PC compatible machines an opportunity for partial expansion.

In this case, the demand for a Chinese Simplified operating system on the IBM-PC compatible platform is naturally urgent.

Of course, given the objective status quo of copyright protection in the Chinese mainland market, it is difficult to say how much actual profit the Chinese simplified Chinese version can bring to Microsoft, but this step must undoubtedly be taken.

I have to say that Microsoft's action is blind and the mouse is stepping on the drumbeat. Driven by the 88-year-old Deng Chang's "South~Tour" between January 18 and February 21, China's stagnant reform and opening up began to take a turn for the better, which in turn was bound to attract a number of international companies, at least tentatively sending representative offices, to determine whether this huge market would be reactivated.

However, although the opening of the Chinese market is imminent, it does not mean that everyone will be able to enjoy it immediately.

Looking at Microsoft's management, including Gates, when confirming the news, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh secretly, "If you don't want to understand China modestly, you want to make a lot of money from this market, you take it for granted - wait to see the joke." ”

……

After returning to San Francisco from Seattle, Tang Huan once again inquired about the progress of his industry's efforts to raise awareness of safety precautions, including communication activities with Chinese businessmen.

Mr. The richest man is not just playing lip service, he even gave out a batch of digital monitoring equipment for free, and is responsible for the installation and service in place, which shows how to be generous.

What worries Tang Huan the most is the California high-speed rail, and the project is too conspicuous.

For this reason, when he left for Los Angeles to attend the Oscars, Mr. The richest man specially invited Jerry Brown, chairman of the board of directors of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, to go all the way.

As soon as they met, Jerry Brown happily showed off his achievements, "By 1994 at the latest, California high-speed rail will be profitable." ”

"Of course I do." Tang Huan smiled sincerely. During his tenure as governor of California, Guy Jerry Brown was known for his calculating, so much so that when he arrived in 1983, he left a $5 billion fiscal surplus.

Jerry Brown, who once failed in the Democratic ~ Main Party presidential nomination and Senate qualifications, was quite satisfied with the current position of chairman of the board of directors of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, so he did not participate in this year's Democratic ~ Democratic Party presidential nomination competition as he did in the original time and space, but he naturally turned to the recent hot political ~ political topic - the U.S. presidential primary, "Unexpectedly, on Super Tuesday, it was Bill Clinton who got most of the Democratic ~ Democratic Party's primary nominations. ”

The so-called Super Tuesday refers to the Tuesday of the presidential primaries of the Democratic ~ Main Party and the Republican ~ Party in many states in the United States in February or March of the US election year. Because the results of the day had a huge impact on the election results, and the candidates paid special attention to them, the title of "super" was added.

This year's March 10 is "Super Tuesday" in this sense.

On this day, the incumbent U.S. President George H.W. Bush, although he was strongly challenged by conservative journalist Pat Buchanan in the Republic~Republican Party, he still successfully took the lead and won more than 70% of the primary election support in the United States; In contrast, Bill Clinton is much less impressive, receiving just over 50 percent of the nation's primary support, although he has a clear advantage in the southern states.

Tang Huan heard it, and there was a sour taste in Jerry Brown's tone, after all, he had also competed with this kind of rising star and young and promising attitude before, but he returned home.

"Who let the family have a virtuous helper?" The richest man jokingly comforted him.

Jerry Brown seems to have really balanced his mind, and objectively analyzed: "Although Bush has broken his trust in the promise of not raising taxes, and even Pat Buchanan, a contender in the Republic~ and the party, has clung to this article, but on the whole, the odds of winning are still quite large, and Clinton must work his campaign strategy." ”

"You still haven't noticed the sudden attack." Tang Huan, who has been paying attention to the dynamics in this regard, smiled playfully.

Following the sensation caused by the movie "Assassination of Kennedy", Mr. The richest man has seen how the invisible hand that can influence the direction of the US election is waved.

Just March 12 of this year, Texas billionaire Ross Perrault set up a phone bank in his office, where volunteers could inform interested voters and supporters about ways to help him run for the presidency in front of him.

Ross Perrault, who is still an important shareholder of Nishina and NEXT, has an estimated personal wealth of $3 billion, and it is too easy to play the game of running for president of the United States as an independent candidate.

More importantly, Ross Perrault, in his hometown, Texas, which is also the Republican Party's largest vote base, will definitely obviously divide the support for Bush Sr., and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and I don't know if Bush Sr.'s campaign team is aware of this crisis.

After listening to Tang Huan's words, Jerry Brown savored it carefully and couldn't help but smile: "According to your analysis, this election is really a war full of uncertainties. ”

"Just enjoy it with peace of mind." Tang Huan waved his hand and said: "Since the operation of the California high-speed rail, the flow of people has become more and more dense, and I suggest that the Authority spend at least half a year to focus on safety management." ”

Jerry Brown has always valued the advice of the richest man, but he is still a little hesitant, "If you do this, it will definitely add a lot of money, and it may cause discomfort for passengers." ”

"I think it's well worth the expense. I don't know if you have noticed, with the economic depression and high unemployment, the business environment of high-speed rail is inevitably mixed. Tang Huan explained seriously.

Jerry Brown nodded, "Well, there's nothing wrong with being careful. ”

……

Tang Huan arrived in Los Angeles and accidentally saw the lively scene outside Dorothy Chandler Hall, the venue of the 64th Academy Awards, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, saying in his heart that this really indicates that there will be a "great rule after the chaos".

……

The following is the anti-D part, which will be updated tomorrow morning, so let's ignore it.

……

Mr. The richest man has always emphasized the antelope hanging horns and no trace in the way of speculation, and the invisible hand of Gaine is used with pleasure, but it is also very easy to attract backlash.

During the year-end and New Year period for the next stage, Tang Huan inadvertently found that the invisible hand that seemed to be able to influence the U.S. election had made some moves.

On Christmas Eve, Warner released a film directed by two-time Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone - "JFK", which is based on Jim Garrison's novel "Stalking Assassination" and Jim Maas's novel "Dilemma: The Plot to Kill JFK", which describes the investigation of New Orleans prosecutor Jim Garrison into the JFK assassination, and the facts that were later discovered.

Oliver Stone has continued to make excellent films in recent years, "Field Platoon", "Wall Street", "Born on the Fourth of July" These movies can be described as fame and fortune, so Warner invested him 40 million dollars with great trust; In turn, in order to make the investment seem worthwhile, Oliver Stone hired Kevin Costner, the director and star of "Dances with Wolves", to play the main character, New Orleans prosecutor Jim Garrison.

It is conceivable that it is not so easy to put such a sensitive subject as "Assassination of JFK" on the big screen.

After the first draft of the script came out, "JFK" was harshly attacked by George Radner, a national security correspondent for the Washington Post, and has since been embroiled in a heated debate.

After the release of "The Assassination of John F. Kennedy," many major American newspapers wrote editorials criticizing Oliver Stone in harsh terms for blasphemy and disrespect for historical facts, as well as his accusation that then-Vice President and later President Lyndon Johnson was also involved in the plot to assassinate John F. Kennedy.

For example, Bernard Venroe of the New York Times sings that if Warner can make "JFK Assassination" go far, it will be a Hollywood miracle; In the article, he also called on Warner to do a self-examination.

In another example, the newspaper's Vincent Camby, through a review of the film itself, criticized: "Oliver Stone's style of filmmaking is very casual, a lot of very short, frequent, incomprehensible, one shot after another, mixed with background music, noise, dialogue, and more noise, more dialogue, like sandwiches." ”

There were even media outlets that directly posted an article "Resisting Oliver Stone's Fabricated Facts" to attack "The Assassination of JFK".

Of course, there are also media people who praise "The Assassination of JFK", such as Pat Deauville, a veteran film critic at Washington Magazine, but when he submitted a review, it was rejected by the editor-in-chief, John Rimbert, on the grounds that he did not want to see positive reviews of the film, and he and other editors of the magazine agreed that the film was ridiculous; For this reason, Pat Deauville immediately resigned from his position.

In contrast, Roger Liebert, who has a higher reputation, will be able to make a sound. He praised "The Assassination of Kennedy" in the Chicago Sun-Times, "The success of this film is not that it answers the secret of JFK's assassination, but that it is an attempt to awaken the national spirit that has been fading in people's hearts since 1963." ”

As a director, Oliver Stone is naturally under great personal pressure, and even received a death threat letter after a TV interview.

Sorting out the criticisms of JFK focuses on two main aspects - the accuracy of the description of New Orleans prosecutor Jim Garrison, and the inclusion of artificially mixed footage in the adaptation of the historical expansion.

In response to these criticisms, Oliver Stone wrote a 593-page book, "The Assassination of JFK – A Book About the Film," which included the entire annotation of the script, as well as 97 reviews from supporters and critics, and 340 research notes.

In the midst of this overwhelming controversy, Warner's support for "JFK" can be described as "strong support", saying only that due to the long duration of the movie, which is up to three hours, the number of screenings will inevitably be affected.

The richest man who watched coldly, when listening to the work report of his subordinates, inquired about the relevant details by the way - Warner invested $15 million in the marketing of "JFK"; In the first week of its release, the film tied with "Beauty and the Beast" for fifth place at the national box office, and it was not until the first week of January 1992 that it had a real breakthrough, slowly rising to the global box office of $50 million, while positive reviews were on the rise, and even received 8 Academy Award nominations.

In Tang Huan's view, regardless of how many conspiracies there are in the JFK assassination, as far as the movie itself is concerned, Oliver Stone's directing skills are undoubted.

However, then again, no matter how talented Oliver Stone is, without financial support, the movie would not have been made; Without the greater energy of the invisible hand to lift, the movie must have been drowned in saliva as soon as it was released.

Just as on December 25, 1991, Soviet President Gelbachev announced his resignation and handed over state power to Russian President Karma Chin, at 9:38 on the same day, the Soviet flag was slowly lowered over the Kremlin and replaced by the Russian flag.

Anyway, after watching the movie "Assassination of Kennedy", Mr. The richest man has a psychological shadow about going to Texas, the stronghold of the Republican ~ Party, but the "Silicon Mound", which echoes the "Silicon Valley" in California, is located in its capital Austin, and it is really not good not to inspect it several times a year.

Recalling the arrogance of the Bush family in this year's election, Tang Huan couldn't help but shake his head and smile - the show has just begun. (To be continued.) )
