"I used to live a simple life between school and home, and occasionally participated in public welfare activities organized by the Shennong Foundation to enrich my life. But now you have been dragged into the water in a daze, and you have taken over a lot of things. Now, everything is as you wish. Lin Qingfang glanced at the man beside him.

"I'm also helping you plan for the future, and if you can't break the bottleneck in acting for a while, you can re-examine the industry from the perspective of filmmaking." Tang Huan replied lightly, while rubbing his palms gently.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to arrange Lin Qingfang to Amperin Entertainment Company, he had more excuses to date the other party, which can be said to be more than one stone.

Of course, this has gradually formed a clear situation, the women next to Tang Huan have all been exposed to fields other than their own work, and the benefits brought by this can only be said to be self-evident.

behaved intimately with Tang Huan in public, Lin Qingbian was still not used to it, and quickly slapped away the man's big hand on his waist, "You are busy, I'll go back and prepare well, working with these people in Hollywood, it's very stressful." ”

"Relax, and don't forget, your man is the real boss." After Tang Huan comforted and encouraged him, he asked someone to send Lin Qingfang to San Francisco.

……

Not long after Tang Huan returned to the office, the lawyer who handled the treasure in Florida reported the news that Vice President Bush was about to visit the museum the next day.

In other words, this will be a very obvious signal to resolve the treasure dispute, and Tang Huan must show up.

The proceeds of this treasure were distributed to Florida more than the last two times. So the other party is not in law. Or in action. are firmly on Tang Huan's side, otherwise the fleet would not have started salvage operations so unscrupulously.

At present, various treasures are displayed in the museum for a limited range of visits, including members of all ranks, even the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Under the condition that the federal government could take 30% of the proceeds, American politicians gradually reached a tacit agreement that this huge wealth should remain at home, as for the feelings of Spain, which was still actively gaining international recognition and paying for the mistakes of World War II. Then it can only be haha.

Don't forget, this is the era of the Cold War, the strong are respected, the boss I need this money to save the rivers and lakes, otherwise, how can I resist the danger from the east for you.

Tang Huan naturally hopes that this matter will be resolved quickly, and with this precedent, then if he encounters a similar situation in the future, he will all be on his side in terms of legal principles.

So after getting the news, Tang Huan didn't say a word. I'm ready to leave for Florida.

At this time, Chambers came over with a wry smile.

Originally. Zheru has been relatively smooth in the process of selling his system to Wal-Mart, but he is stuck on the price of the whole project. Walton is notoriously meticulous, this old man is trying his best to keep down the cost, Chambers has nothing to do, and hopes that Tang Huan, the ultimate boss, will come forward and PK with the other party.

In fact, although IBM has been harassing the second-generation Fangyuan computer with a patent lawsuit, the second-generation Fangyuan computer has long been inconspicuous, reaching a monthly shipment of 8,000 units in the US market.

Wal-Mart's business is not indispensable, but according to the results of the demonstration effect brought by model customers during this period of time, this hard bone really has to be gnawed.

Because after the microcomputer database information management system, Zheru and Fangyuan have launched a new field of application solution, the second generation of ElectronicCashRegister, the electronic cash register system or ECR, which needs to actively develop Wal-Mart's retailer customers.

With the establishment of commodity barcode specifications in the 1970s, IBM took the lead in the field of ECR to launch the 3650/3660 transaction system, that is, a host controls up to 128 IBM3653/3663pointofsale - POS terminals.

For the first time, the system has achieved server/client architecture, point-to-point transmission, LAN synchronous backup and remote initialization in the commercial field.

By 1974, ordering and cashier systems using microprocessors Intel 8088 appeared in some McDonald's restaurants, but each terminal was independent.

Now, Tang Huan has advanced this set of technology application solutions to the second generation, serving as a second-generation Fangyuan computer host for POS terminals, plus small customer displays, cash registers, cash drawers, scanners, printers, POS keyboards and other surrounding equipment, forming a practical and powerful integrated system.

This business is very long-lived, in the original time and space, even in the 21st century, you can still see IBM products in supermarkets of all sizes.

And Zheru and Fangyuan's marketing team are launching a sales offensive against retail companies like Walmart.

Obviously, if a few influential companies have adopted such a system and achieved good management results, then other practitioners have no choice but to follow suit and compete for procurement.

In 1979, Wal-Mart, whose total sales exceeded $1 billion for the first time and grew at an astonishing rate, naturally became the first target of tackling key problems.

"Guess Sam? Walton treats us as if we were his suppliers, and three offers have already been rejected. "Chambers

"It's so domineering." Tang Huan couldn't help but be a little funny, and said in his heart that Shennong Fund had already bought Wal-Mart shares, and from a certain point of view, I am also your shareholder, which is too shameless.

"Make another plan, I'll take the team to talk to Sam? Walton talks. Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "By the way, how is the AFL-CIO going?" ”

AFL-CIO stands for American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, which is the largest labor union organization in the United States, with nearly 10 million members.

And with the microcomputer database system of the barcode technology. Not only can it identify the product. It can also manage the manager's profile, bank account, and other goals. Tang Huan naturally fell in love with this potential customer.

"It's okay to talk about it, but it still needs to be leveraged by interaction at the highest level." Chambers spread his hands, "So, I have to ask you to come forward again." ”

"Okay, let's put it all on my itinerary." Tang Huan glanced at the calendar and said thoughtfully.

……

Tang Huan's trip to Florida this time is becoming more and more low-key, even if this windfall does not belong to him, he has the right to control his reputation. Therefore, it is unrealistic to completely transcend the conflict of interests, and in order not to provoke criticism, it is better to make a fortune quietly.

The well-guarded exhibition hall can be called resplendent and jeweled.

This magnificence, of course, does not come from the decoration of the room, but from the abundance of gold and silver jewelry.

All the exhibits are placed on the ground floor, mainly because there are so many of these gold, silver and precious metals that if they are placed upstairs, they will overload the floor slabs, which may create a risk of collapse.

This reason seems exaggerated. But that's just the way it is, and the results of the looting of the colonial era are so staggering.

It is limited to the public. There were very few people in the exhibition hall, so Tang Huan could easily see everyone's breathtaking and dizzying expressions.

Presumably, those members of parliament who have visited here are not calm.

Tang Huan walked around casually, all kinds of exaggerated gold nuggets and silver ingots could no longer arouse his interest, and those brilliant gems had some attraction.

There are probably many people who think the same way, including two young white men who look like a couple, stopping in front of a glass case and admiring the various natural gems inside.

As Tang Huan approached, a man on the other side looked over, and just happened to take a look at Tang Huan, and the two couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.

"This isn't George W. Bush." Tang Huan muttered in surprise in his heart, and his eyes swept to several other people, seeing that it was Bush Jr.'s wife Laura? Wales, his younger brother, the future governor of Florida, Jeb? Bush, the rest of the woman should be Jeb? Mrs. Bush too.

Tang Huan thought about it for a while, and then suddenly it dawned on him that with the success of George H.W. Bush's election for vice president in 1980, his family moved from Houston, Texas, to Miami-Dade County, Florida, which is not far from here. Besides, isn't Bush Sr. coming tomorrow?

"You're Don from Silicon Valley?" Bush Jr. asked tentatively.

That's right, now Tang Huan has become an iconic figure in Silicon Valley, if you associate Silicon Valley with Tang, it can only point to one person, Tang Huan, who was praised by Wall Street with a net worth of $2 billion.

"It's me." Tang Huan nodded, and then pretended to be curious and asked, "Are you?" ”

"George? Bush. After Bush Jr. finished introducing himself, seeing the puzzled look on Tang Huan's face, he continued bluntly: "My father is the current vice president. ”

For Tang Huan and George W. Bush, some conventional habits are not important, and revealing their origins is not a show off, but a frank performance, not to mention that everyone will meet tomorrow.

Seeing Tang Huan suddenly nodding his head, Bush Jr. introduced the other people around him.

At present, the Bush family is still in the stage of accumulating strength, and the elder Bush, as vice president, is extremely low-key and tries his best to cooperate with Reagan's work.

During his eight years as vice president, George H.W. Bush attended many large and small public occasions, including a number of state funerals, which were used by the media as comedy material.

But this is how Bush Sr.'s connections have been accumulated step by step and passed on to the next generation.

After losing the 1978 race for the Texas Congress, George W. Bush continued to run the oil industry and became a partner or president of several companies, including Arbusto Energy, which he founded, as well as Spectrum7 and HarkenEnergy.

And Jeb? In 1980, Bush helped his father George H.W. Bush run for election and began to get involved in the political arena to accumulate experience for his later political career.

In short, the father and son of this family are accumulating for the goal of becoming the first family in the future.

"After hearing the news that the vice president is coming. I've come to arrange the entertainment. Tang Huan raised his hand and made a gesture. What's not thoughtful here. Please also give us your valuable comments. ”

"We're just visiting, but we don't have the ability to give advice." George W. Bush shook his head and smiled, "But I think everyone must be very curious about the treasure hunting ship that can find such a huge treasure." ”

After Bush Jr. was modest, he still betrayed a favor and confided in him.

Since he met these people by chance, Tang Huan naturally tried his best to keep them. After entertaining him, the other party stayed down the river.

Before he quit drinking, George W. Bush behaved very heroically at the dinner table, clinking glasses with Tang Huan again and again, and quickly became a pair of friends with wine and meat.

This is not surprising, both sides have a lot of use value, and under the intention of friendship, it is natural to hit it off.

Tang Huan soon discovered that Bush Jr. really did not dare to compliment him in some aspects of his intellectual performance. But his brother Jeb? Bush is quite gifted in politics.

……

The next day. The elder Bush drove lightly and simply as promised.

Tang Huan personally served as a guide, leading him and his staff around the museum, and frankly explained the effectiveness of everyone's candy distribution plan.

The elder Bush was noncommittal about this, and instead asked with great interest what the treasure hunting fleet was like.

Tang Huan was naturally prepared, and after answering "It's just time to rest today", he took them to the beach and got on the boat to visit.

The level of technology and equipment of the Fisher treasure hunting fleet made everyone's eyes shine.

After listening to an explanation of how satellite phones, GPS, sonar, undersea cameras, diving robots, and personal computers that perform statistical programs work together, Bush Sr. quipped, "How can I feel like I've come to a warship? ”

Tang Huan replied with a tactful expression, outsiders just watched the excitement, but they didn't know that these technologically advanced equipment were piled up with a large amount of money.

The elder Bush laughed disapprovingly, "Don, I've heard of your ubiquitous and watertight method of selling computers. When most of the media reported on the discovery of this treasure, they mentioned how your second-generation Fangyuan computer helped with statistics. Almost all the media in the United States are advertising for you, and this equipment investment is used as advertising money. ”

For this, Tang Huan really can't deny that the popularity of the second-generation Fangyuan computer has indeed benefited from this.

"I heard that the four major leagues have been moved by your sales team, and they plan to use the second-generation Fangyuan computer to count the event data." George W. Bush added with a smile on the sidelines.

"I didn't expect you to follow the dynamics of the major leagues, when you have time, go to San Francisco to watch a game, I have two teams, one in the major football league and the other in the major league." Tang Huan glanced at George W. Bush and sent out an invitation.

"Then make an appointment to watch a baseball game together." George W. Bush readily agreed.

Seeing that the other party was so happy, Tang Huan was not too surprised.

You must know that every move of these characters is often not useless.

Originally, George W. Bush bought a part of the Texas Rangers baseball team and served as a co-manager of the team for five years.

During this time, he handled public relations on behalf of the team and also managed the construction of the new stadium.

George W. Bush is actively involved in the team's training program and is often involved in team games, watching them with fans.

It can be said that Bush's relationship with the Texas Rangers team has gradually increased his media exposure and fame, and he has gained more and more support from the public and business groups, thus laying a solid foundation for his future candidacy for Texas governor.

When sending Bush Sr. and his entourage away, Tang Huan quietly said to Bush Jr.: "Although the treasures in front of me cannot be disposed of and traded for the time being, my fleet has also found a lot of natural gems in the first two treasure hunts, and they are now placed in the bank in San Francisco. ”

Hearing Tang Huan say this, Bush Jr. smiled and bowed slightly.

……

Everyone has their own way to succeed, but basically there is one thing in common - hard work, Sam, the founder of Wal-Mart? Walton is like this, whether in life or in career, he has maintained a strong fighting spirit.

Sam? Walton often flew his own twin-engine plane, running from branch to branch and spending at least four days a week, sometimes even six, on such visits. Before the morning meeting on weekend mornings, he usually goes to the office at 3 o'clock to prepare the relevant documents and materials.

In the 1970s, Sam? Walton visits each store at least twice a year, and he is familiar with the managers and many of the employees at each of them, listens attentively, and often gives some of his own opinions directly.

Entering the 1980s, Sam? Walton is in his 60s, but he still works at 4:30 a.m., thinking and planning in a quiet environment, and occasionally visiting a distribution center at 4:00 a.m. to have breakfast coffee with employees.

As the company grows bigger, Sam? It was no longer possible for Walton to visit every branch, but he still ran as much as he could.

Tang Huan met such a scrappy and very picky old man at Walmart's headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.

When the other party still shook his head after reading the plan, Tang Huan said lightly: "The second-generation ECR solution we developed is definitely in a leading position in the industry. (To be continued......)
