"This guy's tone is really strict." Tang Huan, who muttered in his heart, although he was stupid, there was no way, he couldn't pry open the other party's mouth with pliers.

At this time, Bush Jr., who was sitting on the side, played his special role, and in a sarcastic tone, he unceremoniously provoked: "The plan in everyone's hearts must have been very clear, why waste each other's time in secret, it is simply a loss of identity!" If Tang really enters, what will General Electric do, will it be a lose-lose situation? It is better to reach an agreement now that is beneficial to both parties. ”

Jack Welch snorted awkwardly, he also couldn't do anything about the eldest young master of the Bush family, but fortunately, from the other party's words, he heard a little bit of Tang Huan's intentions.

"RCA was founded by General Electric, and it was forced by antitrust pressure to stand on its own and separate for more than half a century, and now it is time to return to the arms of General Electric." Although Jack Welch made his attitude clear, the reasons given were only empty righteousness, and the actual interests were still hidden.

"I understand GE's feelings." Tang Huan bowed slightly, "RCA's stock price continues to fall, the board of directors is pessimistic, the next year, will be the best time for GE to acquire, I am happy to see it." ”

Seeing that Tang Huan saw the situation so thoroughly, Jack Welch understood the other party's determination to take the opportunity to take some benefits, otherwise, a casual move in private, not to mention letting General Electric's plan fly chickens and eggs, at least it would greatly increase the acquisition cost. From this point of view, it is really a combination of two benefits, and a division of two harms.

I have to say. With Tang Huan's current strength. It is qualified to ask a century-old company like General Electric to make a gesture of compromise. to respect his interests.

"So, what part of RCA's business is Tang interested in?" Jack Welch asked tentatively.

"NBC should be GE's main target, and I wouldn't have an idea about it." Tang Huan smiled slightly, did not rush to answer, but first sent a free favor to pave the way for the negotiation atmosphere.

"RCA and Columbia Pictures formed a joint venture in 1981 to specialize in the international distribution of home videotapes, called RCA Columbia Pictures United International Video, although it has only been around for more than three years. But when combined with RCA records, it should get you interested. Jack Welch reciprocated with a peach.

Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, "General Electric definitely has no interest in the videotape and record business, if you want to throw them out as a burden, I don't mind helping to deal with it." ”

"I almost forgot,Your Xiaobawang game console and VHS home video recorder,Through the infrared remote control and A-V terminals, these device interaction standards,Forcing traditional TVs to update in technology,Isn't it the next step to enter the field of consumer electronics? I'd like to be an adult beauty and even put GE in the home appliance business. It will be given to you along with RCA's consumer electronics business. In addition, I can also give you the RCA trademark to use for free. Like General Electric, it has a huge brand appeal in the United States and even in the world. Jack Welch continued to sell good with rhetoric.

"In RCA's business, consumer electronics has lost the most money, do you really plan to let me take over? Even if I want to enter the home appliance field, there is a better way to start than this. Besides, RCA's factory in Treasure Island has a very difficult environmental pollution problem. Judging from the results of the current investigation, it is not easy to pay compensation for personnel, remediation of contaminated water and soil, and other legal risks in the future. In this case, it is difficult to conclude how high the gold content of RCA's trademark is. Tang Huan shook his head with a smile.

"I've learned that you have a prominent position in the computer industry on Treasure Island, and you must have won a lot of resources because of it, so there must be many ways to deal with this trouble. In addition, the reason why I gave you GE's home appliance business is also to compensate. Together, these two occupy a position that cannot be ignored in the industry. Jack Welch waved his hand heroically, with a kind of subtext of "you see, how thoughtful I am for you."

Tang Huan's face showed a playful expression of "Are you and I an idiot?" on his face, "Since Mr. CEO took office, he has implemented organizational reengineering within GE, and the home appliance business must have been included in the external scope that has been cleaned up." Can you not send such a favor to me here? ”

Jack Welch's face froze, and he almost guessed the direction of Tang Huan's goal in his heart, and immediately coughed lightly, and said slowly: "The land, buildings and other fixed assets of the RCA laboratory, as well as the authorization of scientific research results, will be retained by General Electric. Don: If we want to, we can reach a broad agreement on licensing the technology. But only if you cover the operating costs of RCA Labs for the next five years and assist in its transformation. ”

RCA Lab's major scientific research achievements are numerous, the most well-known are the color televisions of the 1950s and the liquid crystal monitors of the 1960s, which are one of Tang Huan's hunting targets.

Seeing that the other party was quite protective of food, Tang Huan replied lightly: "Then you transfer all the government contracting projects of RCA to me." ”

"It's not possible, and Lockheed is equally interested in RCA's government services business in Philadelphia." Jack Welch began to show his toughness and did not hesitate to say no to his face.

"You obviously treat me as a good money boy, and as soon as you touch the core interests, you will push me out while asking me to pay generously." Tang Huan shrugged.

"I can give you RCA's semiconductor business." Jack Welch slowed down, "That's just something about your business counterpart, isn't it?" ”

"But I don't need to." Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, and said in a nouveau riche manner: "If General Electric's acquisition of RCA is not so abundant, I don't mind contributing a little or two, and then we will discuss how to distribute these assets." ”

"I don't need it either." Jack Welch's eyes widened.

"Unity is strength, and you need it." Tang Huan insisted on Mao Sui's self-recommendation.

A veteran hitter of the Morgan consortium and a popular kid of a California consortium. They looked at each other for half a minute.

In the end, George W. Bush waited impatiently. He shouted, "Do you two want to talk about it?" Everyone said that they would go to golf in a while. ”

In the final analysis, Tang Huan is a spoiler who makes trouble without giving candy, and Jack Welch is jealous. Reluctantly, he relented first and said, "Okay, let's discuss it again." ”

I have to say that no matter how the game and compromise between Tang Huan and Jack Welch are, it will be a sad one for RCA. The former world's largest company has been reduced to the point of being slaughtered by others and discussing two deals without knowing it.

……

December 19th. The Sino-British Joint Declaration was officially signed, and the dust settled, and Hong Kong entered a transitional stage. From top to bottom, from large to small, groups from all walks of life have also begun to be busy with their new goals.

For example, Jin Yong was at the headquarters of "Ming Pao", discussing recent affairs with Dong Qiao and other right-hand men.

Jin Yong, who set off a famous controversy in the 1960s, visited the mainland in 1981 and 1984 respectively, and was received and held talks at the highest level.

As Hong Kong officially entered the transitional stage, the establishment of the Basic Law Drafting Committee was also on the agenda. Jin Yong will become one of the committee members. In other words, he entered politics. Under the distraction of energy, "Ming Pao" naturally has to explain.

While they were discussing, a staff member of the "Ming Pao Weekly" department cautiously walked up to his supervisor and whispered a few words and handed over an envelope.

Jin Yong quickly noticed the abnormal movement, and asked casually, "What's wrong?" ”

"A paparazzi said that he secretly took a few photos of the retired Baodao female star Lin Fengjiao, who suddenly appeared in a low-key manner and drank tea with friends." The other party, who carefully recognized the photo, hurriedly replied.

"This kind of thing is also worth reporting here?" Jin Yong showed a disapproving look on his face.

"This paparazzi moved quickly, and he also took a frontal photo of a pair of twins, which is said to look almost the same as the richest man carved out of a mold, which just confirms the scandal between them a few years ago."

The subordinate handed over the photo and added, "If it's true, it's explosive news." Deng Lijun is about to hold the last concert of her world tour in Shanghai, China. The reason why she was able to have such an opportunity was not because Tang Huan was able to match. Once this matter is exposed, it may be a big gossip about vinegar and sea shengbo. ”

"I see, you don't have to wait for the newspaper, you start gossiping yourself." In the laughter, Jin Yong shook his head, took the photo and looked at it, and his face immediately became serious.

After a long while, Jin Yong passed the last photo to Dong Qiao, and asked suspiciously, "Are the people in these photos real or fake?" ”

"It shouldn't be wrong, the other people in the photo are not unknown, and Lin Fengjiao is a big star on the same level as Lin Qingjiao after all......" Speaking of this, the director of "Ming Pao Weekly" was stunned for a moment, and then continued with a strange face: "The scandal between Lin Qingbian and Tang Huan also has noses and eyes, this is really a big scene, we may have picked up a treasure." ”

"Let's get here first, adjourn." Jin Yong waved his hand impatiently, and then left Dong Qiao to order: "You go and contact that paparazzi in person and buy all the photos and negatives." ”

"You mean, you're going to have Ming Pao Weekly publish these photos?" Dong Qiao tactfully persuaded: "With all due respect, although these themes are hot enough, I am afraid that they do not match the style of our publications. ”

Of course, Jin Yong heard the meaning of Dong Qiao's words, although this set of photos can attract people's attention, but revealing people's privacy is also a matter that offends people and must consider the cost of public relations, not to mention that it is still related to Tang Huan.

Not to mention anything else, the other party's enterprises bring a lot of income to the "Ming Pao" series of advertisements every year, and they can't afford to lose a lot of money because of this kind of unworthy move.

If it really provokes people, even if "Ming Pao" has a pen to protect itself, it may not be able to withstand the wrath of thunder.

The literati are not really immortal, they do not eat the fireworks of the world, and in the fiercely competitive environment of the Xiangjiang newspaper industry, it is difficult to withstand those scheming business methods.

"I'm certainly not that short-sighted." Jin Yong sighed, "You also said that the competition in Xiangjiang Newspaper is fierce. Even if we reject the paparazzi, the other party can switch to another family. And there will definitely be media outlets that will unscrupulously publish it in order to get to the top. Deng Lijun's solo concert in the mainland is still quite significant and should not be affected by these unexpected factors. ”

Dong Qiao suddenly realized, "What you mean is that I will buy all these photos and negatives and return them to the parties." ”

"That's about it." Jin Yong nodded, and when Dong Qiao was about to go out, he said, "Save if you can." ”

"Oh, the boss wants to be a good person and sell favors, but he also makes the old mistake of being stingy, and this thing is really not easy to do. Jin Yong and Zha Liangyong are always so contradictory! Dong Qiao, who was muttering all the way, soon saw the paparazzi with an ordinary appearance and an occasional obscene look.

"Young boy, what do you call it?" Dong Qiao sat down on the main seat with a golden knife and asked directly.

"Just call me Ah Wei." This person seemed to be waiting a little anxiously, and urged repeatedly: "You have already seen the photos, do you want to buy them?" Give me a good word, if it doesn't work, I'll go see someone else. ”

"Is that all you have pictures of?" Dong Qiao asked unhurriedly.

"Yes, that's what you see." Ah Wei nodded impatiently.

"Did you bring the negatives?" Dong Qiao stared at the other party and stretched out his hand to ask, "How much are you going to offer?" ”

Ah Wei took out the film from his bag and said hesitantly, "100,000." ”

Dong Qiao laughed, "Young man, I don't think you're really a paparazzi, it's the first time you've done this, right?" I don't know much about the market. I can only give you a maximum of 10,000. ”

"It's too little, and you don't look at who is in the photo?" Ah Wei, who was greatly disappointed, immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, "Don't coax me, I have already consulted several newspapers by phone before I came, and "Ming Pao" is just the first stop." ”

"You are still not convinced if you don't know what to do. Do you think anyone would really pay an outrageous price for such a picture? Dong Qiao slammed the photos on the table, "Gossip also has to be a matter of rules, you even secretly took pictures of such a young child, it's very taboo." The privacy of the rich is not so easy to entertain and consume. Besides, do you know how powerful the people you want to involve are? ”

"So what? I'll take care of him. Ah Wei stiffened his neck, "Since you are so stingy, then I'll go find someone else." ”

Dong Qiao didn't know where to dig out a newspaper, snapped it, fell on the other party's body, and taught him a serious lesson: "Have you seen this news, a theater is about to merge into the DreamWorks Theater Line, and as a result, several people almost lost their lives in order to fight for shares." Young boy, the sky in Xiangjiang has changed, the British have no heart to manage it well, and the current security situation is not optimistic. If you ask for money so recklessly, and be careful of getting angry, it is better to take the money in peace. After all, if you have money, you also need to have a healthy body to enjoy, right? ”

Ah Wei, who had read the news, slowly put down the newspaper, his face was red and white for a while, and finally pleaded in a low voice: "In the current world, there is nothing that does not increase in price, life is sad, I was also forced to have no choice, so I thought of this trick to make money." You can add a little more. ”
