……

Tang Huan's affairs in Los Angeles are, of course, first of all Hollywood, and after watching Lin Qingfang's "Mulan", he deliberately paid attention to cartoons. After the change of www.biquge.info new management led by Michael Eisner, the direction of Disney's business has tended to return to the old business.

At present, everyone is stuck in the quagmire of the movie recession, and Tang Huan is completely nastyly dragging Disney who wants to jump out. Relying on the new production mode brought about by computer animation technology, he has already begun to cut off the other party, and at this time he is enjoying the robbery of "whoframedrogerrabbit" - "Who framed Roger Rabbit".

It is a combination of live-action and animation, with Spielberg as the producer. As powerful as D2, it also took ten months to complete all the special effects production.

"Roger's wife, Jessica, is it designed to be too sexy?" After the movie, Tang Huan frowned slightly and asked, but the people who were not prepared for it did not react.

But Tang Huan immediately laughed loudly, "Of course, we are not Disney, so there is no need to dwell on this issue." ”

Spielberg shook his head and smiled wryly at this surprise, and said instead: "Back to the Future II is almost ready, where is the 2015 scene in the movie filmed?" ”

"Back to the Future" was a huge hit, and after becoming the box office champion in 1985, shooting a sequel was a sure thing.

The slightly troublesome thing is that Tang Huan, who rarely explicitly interferes with Hollywood film production, put forward a formal request this time that the scene in 2015 must show the scientific nature of the prediction.

This stumped the main creative team, these art experts are not good at and hate to predict the future seriously, especially the current screenwriters are often pessimistic about the future, this tone is not in line with "Back to the Future" at all.

They can understand the subtext of Tang Huan's request, that is, in the scene of the movie in 2015, there must be elements of this big boss's high-tech main business, after all, this opportunity to show is too rare.

But the problem is that the screenwriter doesn't know what elements to add in his head other than the personal computer, and he has no idea what the personal computer will look like in the future.

Fortunately, Tang Huan is a reasonable person and took the initiative to say that he would provide relevant assistance. Now, Spielberg is asking him to make good on his promise.

"At EA Campus in Redwood City in the San Francisco Bay Area, a small city of the future has been built, and a short film has just been delivered, so we can see it in advance." Tang Huan clapped his hands proudly and motioned to his subordinates to clear the scene a little so that they could play the film, after all, this can be regarded as a trade secret.

Then, Spielberg's mouth opened wide in shock.

Screenwriters can't figure out what the future of personal computers will look like, and the answer is given in the short film.

People hold personal computers as thin as a book to look up information, do designs, watch movies, play games...... You can even make phone calls, take photos, and pay bills from your PDA......

In addition, there are high-tech products such as voice-activated home theaters and huge outdoor displays, which appear in the lens.

"Have these devices been developed?" Spielberg subconsciously muttered to himself, and then self-denied: "No, they should all be models." ”

"It's a model now, and it may be a real thing in a dozen years." Tang Huan said playfully.

It took a while for Spielberg to come to his senses. He said anxiously, "If I can, I'd like to go to Redwood City right away." ”

"Of course there is no problem." Tang Huan bowed slightly, "However, I won't accompany you." I would also like to personally accompany President Reagan and his wife on a tour of Fox Plaza. ”

……

When Tang Huan bought Twentieth Century Fox from Malvin Davis, he also brought a number of assets other than movies, such as Pebble Beach Golf Course, Aspen Ski Company, Los Angeles Century City, etc.

Fox Plaza is a 150-meter-high, 35-story skyscraper in Century City, Los Angeles, which began construction in 1985 and was fully completed and put into use this year.

Naturally, Fox Plaza would become the administrative headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox. Further, Tang Huan plans to build it into the headquarters office of all entertainment industries under his name.

Even so, the more than 90,000-square-meter Fox Plaza still has a lot of space left and needs to be rented out.

It just so happened that Tang Huan heard from First Lady Nancy that she was looking for a private office for her husband, so the 34th floor of Fox Plaza was recommended.

Hollywood played an important role in the Reagan couple's career, so Fox Square was to Nancy's taste, and she wanted to visit Los Angeles on the spot.

This is an excellent opportunity to add value to his real estate, and the richest man is very conscious of not having to be urged too much by his subordinates, so he personally went out for public relations.

"The special elevator goes straight to the 34th floor, and there are not many people who can use it, and I am one of them." Tang Huan talked and laughed and introduced from the perspectives of safety, privacy, comfort and convenience.

Seeing that his wife was very satisfied, Reagan happily said to Tang Huan: "Then we will be neighbors from now on." ”

The president's mood has not been so cheerful for a long time, because the "Iran-Contra" scandal that erupted in early November last year was compared by the media to Watergate - when President Nixon was forced to resign and become the first president in U.S. history to resign during his term of office - and he may follow in his footsteps if not handled properly.

You know, now that the House of Representatives and the Senate are in the hands of the Democratic Party, it is too simple for political opponents to grab Reagan's pigtails. At the beginning of this year, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives set up two special investigative committees.

Fortunately, several people involved would rather go to prison than insist that Reagan did not know; In addition, William Cassie, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who was involved, had a brain tumor and would choke at any moment; At the same time, important documents were almost destroyed, and the actions of the Special Commission of Inquiry were not really progressive.

At this time, Reagan sat comfortably in the latest massage chair, revealing the kind of stealing half a day away from the whirlpool of Washington's politics and politics.

This rare opportunity to relax was also given by Tang Huan - the California high-speed rail is about to break ground, and the president and his wife were invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

Although he now lives in the White House, it does not mean that Reagan does not have his own private property. When he retires, he'll be back on a ranch near Santa Barbara, California.

In other words, Reagan, who served two terms as governor of California, had his home in California.

As a result, Reagan was very concerned about how much of his political legacy in California he could leave behind. When California high-speed rail became a bargaining chip between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, he personally supported the project and gave the green light all the way to federal funding.

Now, the California high-speed rail has finally eliminated all kinds of obstacles to start construction, and Reagan, who was invited, didn't say a word, and immediately came to brush up his reputation.

……

California's high-speed rail, which costs more than $30 billion, has undoubtedly received a nationwide level of attention, with the day of the groundbreak, a large number of media outlets, and the California High-Speed Rail Authority doing its best to do public relations.

Among the entire California high-speed rail project, Tang Huan is of course interested in the 820 kilometers that connect San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Los Angeles, which is also the first phase of the project. From San Francisco to California's capital Sacramento and Los Angeles to San Diego, in the extreme southwest corner of the continental United States, don't expect him to do the same.

Due to the different construction conditions in different places, the entire California high-speed rail project is divided into 10 sections and is progressing in parallel.

This is also very much in line with Tang Huan's proposition, because of the obvious inflation in recent years, the richest man is not willing to be dragged down by this project, no matter how rich he is.

In particular, when the Japanese side showed an almost flattering attitude of cooperation, which brought more room for financial maneuver, the California High-Speed Rail Authority acted more and more decisively, and the speed of the California high-speed rail project appeared to be rare in the West.

In the final analysis, when the California high-speed rail project has eliminated political resistance, money has begun to exert its due energy in the world of capital.

All 10 sections will start construction this year, with the relatively sparsely populated Merced-Fresno section in central California at the top of the list.

When the special plane carrying President Reagan and his wife, Tang Huan, the richest man in the United States, and Jerry Brown, chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, landed at Merced Airport, reporters who had been squatting there for a long time rushed up.

Although the occasional questions that pop up are more acute, everyone is in a very good mood and they don't bother to deal with it.

Of course, Tang Huan, the most powerful promoter, has become the target of various contradictions caused by California high-speed rail.

For example, a reporter asked: "Tang, do you know, some people have recently reported that the California high-speed rail has a very rough attitude in terms of demolition. ”

"As far as I know, the construction of high-speed rail in California is well funded, and every demolition compensation contract is signed with the interests of all parties taken into account as much as possible. The attitude you mentioned is very rough, are you sure you are not preparing a joke for the upcoming April Fool's Day? Speaking of this, Tang Huan also specially asked Jerry Brown, "Is there anything else I don't know?" ”

Jerry Brown stared at the reporter with his nostrils turned into the ground, "The California High-Speed Rail Authority is not short of money, and the person who thinks we have a very rough attitude might as well stand up and communicate and see if his appetite is too big for us to feed." ”

In the midst of the laughter, a reporter finally asked a serious question, "Merced is known as 'Gatewaytoyosemite' - 'Yosemite', and from here is the famous Yosemite National Park about two hours to the east." Can California High-Speed Rail's commitment to environmental protection really be implemented? ”

"We have emphasized more than once that California high-speed rail is not a short-term project, and the design for the prevention of sudden natural disasters such as earthquakes is the best proof of this." Tang Huan replied with a serious attitude: "I myself attach great importance to environmental protection, and California high-speed rail is not hesitant to invest in this regard. ”

"We should see more positive, positive benefits from California high-speed rail." Jerry Brown continued, "When California's high-speed rail is operational, it is expected to create 990,000 jobs within 15 years, or an average of 66,000 per year. In poor and backward areas like Merced, which is poor and backward in California, there is a great opportunity for economic development. For example, to attract more tourists to Yosemite National Park. And, as more people adopt California high-speed rail instead of private cars for intercity travel, isn't the environmental impact of it worthy of extraordinary recognition? ”

……

The step-by-step groundbreaking ceremony is not necessarily as wonderful as the various fancy questions thrown by reporters.

Finally, someone began to discuss a question: since Tang Huan emphasized that California high-speed rail is not a project for quick success, that is, it means that commercial interests are not the first driving force for the richest man to actively promote, what is the most fundamental starting point?

Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders and said leisurely: "You may have heard that the market value of Fangyuan Computer Company has exceeded 100 billion US dollars. As you could have instinctively thought, my net worth has gone up again. How should this wealth be spent? Build a super-mansion or a museum to display all kinds of curiosities? My choice is California high-speed rail that can serve more people. ”

In the warm applause, Tang Huan raised his hand and invited: "After this groundbreaking ceremony, I will go to New York to ring the bell for the New York Stock Exchange." If you are interested, you can follow me on Silicon Valley One and fly to the East Coast of the United States. ”

It doesn't matter if Tang Huan opened his mouth, when Silicon Valley One took off from Los Angeles, it carried 30 heavyweight media personalities, and even held a unique air cocktail party.

When the richest man appeared on the New York Stock Exchange the next morning, there were hundreds of reporters. Even the high-grade black of the "New York Post" muttered that Tang Huan had come to New York to show off again, and at the same time held the camera to take pictures of Tang Huan's high-spirited scene of ringing the bell.

No matter how sarcastic the hostile media is, Tang Huan has the ability to make them stinky - if you don't come, then you will be out of the mainstream.

Now the market value of Fangyuan Computer is more than $100 billion, almost double that of Exxon, the oil giant with a market value of more than $50 billion, which ranks second.

Although the launch of the latest generation of personal computers, the PS/2, has added some popularity to IBM, the blue giant has been squeezed into third place, and may be overtaken by General Electric, which ranks fourth and has a market value of more than $40 billion, at any time.

There is no doubt that if we turn a blind eye to the glittering computers, then media outlets like the New York Post are really killing themselves. (To be continued.) )
