Chapter 1041: The First Call of the Iridium System

"It's much faster and easier to travel back and forth between China and China than to the United States. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Son replied: "So, I have personally visited it a few times in the past few years, and I feel that although it is still in its infancy, the potential is immeasurable. ”

After the overall affirmation, Son Masayoshi muttered: "At present, the service objects of the Internet in China are mainly government ~ government agencies, especially in the field of foreign trade. Most of the manufacturers that provide related solutions are local start-ups. SoftBank is reaching out to build a foundation of trust and a deeper understanding of what is worth investing in. ”

Tang Huan nodded, "At this stage, the atmosphere of computer and Internet in China's major universities is very good, so in just a few years, there will be a social class there composed of millions of highly educated young people to drive IT applications. ”

"Although the latecomers have many shortcomings, including a weak foundation, at the same time, in the face of new things, in the process of acceptance and application, there are also some fetters in the entanglement of vested interests."

"In my opinion, the prospects of e-commerce in China are even better than those of many developed economies at this stage."

Son asked humbly: "There are so many e-commerce companies in the United States that do e-commerce through the Internet, which one is Tang more optimistic about?" ”

"It should be that E-Harbor and Amazon can go further." Tang Huan groaned: "The auction platform quickly built by the former is undoubtedly the most in line with the current understanding of the Internet C2C application model; The latter is not in a hurry to make profits immediately in terms of business planning, but steadily cultivates a self-centered B2C application model, which is quite criticized by shareholders, but it is a long-term solution. ”

……

The two were chatting about the topic of e-commerce, and the assistant came over and reported softly: "Boss, Motorola wants to confirm your itinerary to attend the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system on August 1. ”

The richest man bowed slightly, "No matter how busy you are, you have to show your face." ”

Although he was not optimistic about the prospects of the Iridium system, Tang Huan still participated actively to learn valuable experience and lessons.

Compared with the original time and space, the official commercial use of the Iridium system was slightly earlier, thanks to the assistance of the Tang IT Kingdom.

For example, in terms of terminal equipment, in addition to Motorola itself, there is also Fangyuan Company, as well as Kyocera in Yiyi.

The assistant reminded: "Boss, US Vice President Al Gore will also be present at the ceremony that day. ”

Tang Huan put the teacup on the table and asked lightly, "So what?" ”

"Yes." The assistant agreed: "I'll give Motorola a positive reply." ”

……

Looking at the back of the assistant leaving, Son asked with concern: "Tang, I understand that US Vice President Al Gore has publicly sided with the Department of Justice in the United States of America v. Zheru Software Co., Ltd. monopoly case. Is there any particular trouble here? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that this Mr. Vice President is not so stable because of ambition." Tang Huan snorted and casually talked about the secrets of American politics that he had mastered.

The heroine of the "zippergate" incident of U.S. President Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, met Linda Tripp after being transferred from the White House to the Department of Defense, and became a close friend who talked about everything, including all kinds of unspeakable things with U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Otherwise, the workplace is deep, and you don't know your heart.

What Monica Lewinsky didn't know was that these heinous secrets she confided to her girlfriend were secretly recorded in full by the other party, and became one of the conclusive physical evidence of the current scandal.

At first, Monica Lewinsky, like Bill Clinton, categorically denied that there was any improper relationship between the two.

But this kind of clearance, where can I stand up to my girlfriends from betraying?

As soon as Linda Tripp handed over the recording, Monica Lewinsky was convicted of obstruction of justice.

Just this past July 28, Monica Lewinsky was granted immunity in exchange for an honest confession and testimony.

In order to protect herself, Monica Lewinsky came up with the most lethal evidence, that is, a dress that left "traces" and was collected as a "souvenir".

In this way, no matter how cleverly Bill Clinton defends, when the DNA test results come out, it will become a ridiculous lie.

Al Gore was a strong defender of Bill Clinton in the "Zippergate" incident, but now he has a lot of criticism.

It's not hard to see why.

Bill Collinton's elaborate lie encircled Al Gore as well. However, this vice president of the United States is still ambitiously preparing to participate in the 2,000-year-old US presidential election, and as a result, he is now "unclear" and is on the wrong side, which immediately gives the contenders a big excuse to attack.

This subtle change in attitude immediately affected the relationship between Bill Clinton and Al Gore's previous friendly and cooperative relationship.

Mr. The richest man concludes bluntly: "With Al Gore and Bill Clinton at odds, it will be difficult for him to get power from the president in the form of a mandate." ”

Son sighed: "I hope that in two years, this vice president of the United States will not appear on the list of candidates for the presidency of the United States." ”

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, and then said: "After seeing the monopoly of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company, the European Union and Yiyi have all signs of joining in the fun. You'll have to take the time to help Masako do some mapping and PR work. ”

"It's a duty." Son replied.

……

On August 1, 1998, Chairman and CEO of Motorola, the third generation of the Galvin family, Christofo? Under the personal auspices of Galvin, the much-anticipated ceremony of the official commercial use of the Iridium system began in a warm atmosphere.

The enthusiastic reporters never forgot to keep an eye on the world's richest man, Tang Huan, and US Vice President Al Gore.

You must know that after Al Gore openly sided with the Department of Justice in the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software, Inc., this is the first time that he and Tang Huan have appeared in public at the same time.

As a result, the reporters were not disappointed, and from the moment they entered the public eye, the two did not have any kind of interaction, not even the slightest eye contact.

It is obvious that the relationship between Tang Huan, the richest man in the world, and US Vice President Al Gore has not shy away from publicly breaking up!

Christopho, a child of a family? Galvin, this scene is very difficult.

According to the original plan, a business leader with a pivotal position in the high-tech field and a political dignitary who has maintained a long-term enthusiasm for the high-tech industry will definitely be the perfect VIP combination at the official commercial launch ceremony of the Iridium system.

Unexpectedly, in just over a month, the situation changed abruptly, and the relationship between them took a sharp turn for the worse, deteriorating to the point of being so disgusting with each other, which also made the atmosphere of the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system become weird.

Afraid that the conflict will suddenly erupt at a certain point in time that cannot be taken care of, making a mistake on this important occasion? Galvin found a gap and whispered to the richest man: "Tang, everyone is a high-profile figure, show your bearing, don't be so stiff." ”

"I don't have a gentlemanly temperament like you." The richest man replied lightly: "Someone wants to step on me to achieve his goal, do you still let me bend down and go at the same time, but also accompany me with a happy smile?" ”

Christopho? Galvin shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, "We've been friends for many years, of course I'm on your side, but I don't feel the need to be so obvious and let the media see the joke." ”

Tang Huan patted the other party on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I know that the severity of the relief will not make the incomparably important Iridium System official commercial ceremony become a farce." ”

Christopho? Galvin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Wait for me to find a suitable opportunity later, mediate a little in the middle, let you sit together and have a good talk, and see if there is any misunderstanding." ”

The richest man had a playful look on his face and nodded noncommittally.

Anyway, Tang Huan made a statement to control his emotions and let Cristofo? The pressure on Galvin's heart was relieved a lot.

Next, he found another opportunity to make a similar persuasion to Al Gore, and the other party innocently said that he had done nothing wrong, and it was Tang who took the initiative to demonstrate.

Christopho? Galvin immediately understood completely: the two of them had become a dead knot, and there was no need to waste their feelings.

Okay, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't have this occasion, just start fighting!

Although outsiders can see that the relationship between Tang Huan, the world's richest man, and US Vice President Al Gore is very unmatched, they behaved very professionally on this occasion, maintaining a tacit understanding that each other's well water does not interfere with river water, and all links, including speeches, are proceeding smoothly and orderly according to the plan.

Until the high ~ tide part of the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system comes, Christopho? Galvin enthusiastically announced, "What will happen to be a historic moment when the Iridium system will have its first call." We invite a heavyweight guest to open this great chapter. ”

Al Gore looked at the Iridium terminal phone on the table with a smile, and thought in his heart that when the first call of the Iridium system was dialed later, he and his wife Tipa Gore would talk about something in front of everyone.

When to hear Christopho? After Galvin had finished selling the ball to arouse the mood of the scene, Al Gore checked his cuffs one last time, and then strode forward.

Suddenly, the press conference was eerily quiet, and you could almost only hear the breathing of some people, who were still slightly heavy despite their best efforts.

Al Gore wondered in his heart, and quickly looked around, and his heart was suddenly shocked and angry. Gain, he saw that Tang Huan was striding towards the table where the Iridium terminal phone was placed, and looking at the posture, he had to arrive first.

Before he had time to think about it, and to keep his demeanor, Al Gore almost trotted towards the Iridium terminal.

See this unexpected situation of Christofo? Galvin, his head booming in confusion, almost blurted out, "Don, you promised me to control your emotions on the spot." And according to the plan, the first call of the Iridium system was dialed by US Vice President Al Gore, what are you going to grab? ”

Compared with the bewilderment of the chairman and CEO of Motorola, all the reporters present looked excited, and their eyes almost popped out.

Sure enough, worthy of our patience, the show is finally here!

As the temperature of the scene continued to rise, the richest man in the car, and the messy vice president of the United States, came to the table almost at the same time and stretched out their hands almost at the same time...... But in a matter of millimeters, the Iridium terminal phone fell into the hands of the former lightly and skillfully.

Tang Huan showed a meaningful smile on his face and said, "In a few days, it will be my birthday." Since the communication function of the Iridium system can reach the heavens and the earth and reach all directions, it just allows me to use its magic to easily call friends for the birthday celebration. ”

Relieved Christofo? Galvin hurriedly rushed over, and while playing a round field to cover the exit of the self-embarrassment of US Vice President Al Gore, he relieved the embarrassing atmosphere and continued the words of Tang Huan, the richest man in the world, and said: "Indeed, there is about a week left, it is Tang's birthday, it's time to prepare in advance." ”

Everyone in the audience echoed it.

Are you blind or naΓ―ve? Find steps with such a pale excuse!

Tang Huan is just going to slap Al Gore in the face.

We love it, though!

Haha, hot news, there it is!

By the way, I wonder where the first call of the Iridium system will go through the hands of Mr. The richest man?

Will you just celebrate the victory on the spot?

In that case, the fun will be great!

……

The continuous silence of the scene made the dialing sound of the Iridium terminal phone particularly clear.

……

"The White House? I'm Don, please transfer Mr. President. ”

……

"Is Downing Street a hobby of 10? I'm Don, please transfer to Mr. Prime Minister. ”

……

"ElysΓ©e Palace? I'm Don, please transfer Mr. President. ”

……

"The Kremlin? I'm Don, please transfer Mr. President. ”

……

"South Zhonghai? I'm Don, please transfer to Mr. President. ”

……

"The Prime Minister's Residence? I'm Don, please transfer to Mr. Prime Minister. ”

……

The richest man is indeed calling friends!

In about ten minutes, he used the Iridium terminal phone to make a total of six calls around the world, from west to east.

With such efficiency, the United Nations cannot do it!

Sure enough, it reaches the heavens and the earth, reaching all directions!

U.S. Vice President Al Gore turned pale.

Motorola Chairman and CEO Christopho? Galvin, dumbfounded.

The rest of the cadres are indescribable.
