Apple's messy housework, Tang Huan was too lazy to get involved too deeply. If this ally really can't hold up the wall, then he doesn't mind abandoning it.

So when Steve Jobs and John. Scully returned to his seat and jubilantly announced that the two sides had reached an agreement, Tang Huan simply congratulated him and got up to leave, giving Marcula room to bargain - he still had a game.

The reason why Tang Huan deliberately brought the Microsoft trio to play cards with him, in addition to the bad taste, was mainly because the process of playing cards with them was very enjoyable.

Bill. Gates, Paul. Allen, Steve. Needless to say, the intelligence and bridge skills of the three Ballmer trio are also crucial to the competitive and aggressive character of the trio, especially Gates, which is still very evident even at the poker table, resulting in an extraordinary intellectual game experience.

As the saying goes, character determines fate, in the original time and space, Microsoft eventually became a software empire, in addition to the ups and downs of the computer age, coincidences, and Gates's character of fighting everywhere has a lot to do with it.

You must know that Gates, who was born in an upper-class family, is a veritable rich second generation, when he was born, his grandmother set up a trust fund of $1 million for him, and later his father bought him a $900,000 house.

Compared with other young Americans who are struggling for loans, rent, and credit cards, Gates' material superiority can be imagined.

But Gates has maintained the fighting spirit of his career, and he has tried his best in the IT field until he has allowed Microsoft to dominate too much. It attracted an antitrust lawsuit from the Ministry of Justice.

In the excitement of all kinds of compliments and sought-after brought by the myth of the three rounds of wealth of Apple, EA, and Fangyuan Computer. Tang Huan needs to cool himself down. Gates and Steve. The trouble that Ballmer and the golden duo have caused at the table can provide a frustration-like experience and insight.

Steve. After Ballmer took the chips handed over by Tang Huan, who had just lost, he said seemingly unintentionally: "Recently, when I purchased entertainment equipment for the company, I found that the home TV game console market has been engaged in a wide range of exaggerated price reductions and promotions that are close to losing money, especially game cartridges, some of which only sell for two or three dollars, shouldn't it be a harbinger of the collective collapse of this industry?" ”

"It's nothing more than the simple law of oversupply at work." Tang Huanyun smiled lightly. "Commodore, Texas Instruments, these manufacturers who use cheap personal computers to impact home TV game consoles, the advertising is still somewhat reasonable, the same price, specifically to buy a machine that can only play games, it is better to buy a personal computer with both learning and game functions. In the final analysis, the threshold of this market is still too low, and everyone will share the soup, and it is a matter of time before it is broken. ”

"The PC industry doesn't have that risk." Sitting across from Tang Huan, Paul. Allen, casually asked.

"Of course not, the personal computer is a tool that will guide the future. Video game consoles are toys that may be playful, and the upper limit of the market capacity of the former is not comparable to the latter. Tang Huan replied firmly. However, there is one problem that we urgently need to help PCs solve, and that is that, in the eyes of many, PCs are more troublesome than they can do. ”

"That's where the software comes in." Gates nodded knowingly.

……

All four of them were energetic madmen, so the game lasted almost until the second half of the night.

However, Tang Huan inadvertently noticed that after getting up the next day, Paul. Allen's complexion doesn't look good.

"Paul, have you had a recent check-up, and your health seems to be a little out of order." Tang Huan, who was moved in his heart, gave Paul. Alan looked at the question for a moment, and then said.

"I'm feeling pretty good, I'm in a good state of mind right now." Paul. Alan replied disapprerovingly, "If you have to talk about the situation, it may be that the weight has been decreasing, and when you go back to Seattle, you will have a physical examination."

"Do you wake up in the morning with significant night sweats?" Tang Huan asked.

"How do you know?" Paul. Alan looked surprised.

"From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this symptom is kidney deficiency." Tang Huan waved his hand, "I'm going to visit a child in the Treasure Hospital today, you can go for a physical examination by the way, and give it away for free." ”

Will Tang Huan be so enthusiastic, Paul. Alan agreed, and Gates and Steve. Ballmer went to Silicon Valley.

……

The child mentioned by Tang Huan is, of course, Betty who has just received radiation therapy, although the little girl is still very weak, but her mental state is still good.

"The effect of the treatment remains to be seen, and it is not optimistic." The doctor in charge confessed to Tang Huan.

"Do your best and let it be the fate of heaven." Tang Huan sighed.

During this time, Tang Huan, who rose to the position of billionaire like a rocket, had relatively subtle psychological activities, almost a bit pretentious, and was a little sensitive to philosophical topics such as the cycle of life and death and all things in the universe. Betty, who was only a few years old and was about to die, naturally touched him very much.

Tang Huan, who was inexplicably emotional, walked around and inspected the medical projects and laboratories funded by the Shennong Foundation again.

Among them, Robert. Gallo has achieved remarkable results in the diagnosis of HIV, and Viagra is almost ready to enter the official use link and start to absorb money.

On this day, Tang Huan was listening to the progress of using his own computer technology in medical testing equipment, just in time for the recruitment interview of his medical institution.

After watching coldly for a while, and seeing that he didn't find anything boring, Tang Huan left through the side door. When he walked to the parking lot, a conversation between a Chinese man and a woman caught his attention.

……

"Huijia, how was the result of the interview?" The man asked.

"There are so many people coming in to apply for jobs that my interview is not until the afternoon. What about you? The woman asked rhetorically.

"Yanle Entertainment Group is very appreciative of my graduation short film, but we have to wait for the results. I can sense that they seem to be more interested in Chinese people with American film education and working backgrounds. The man replied with a smile.

……

"This is a Chinese who is studying directing." Tang Huan, who had this thought flashing in his heart, suddenly became interested, he was indeed asking his subordinates to pay attention to talents in this area.

After getting in the car. Tang Huanxing ordered the assistant as far as he went. Invite the Chinese man and woman over to talk.

When I met the man. Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said in his heart, "Isn't this Ang Lee!" The one next to him is Lin Huijia. It seems that his industry is really influential, and it has begun to attract many elites to take the initiative to invest. ”

"Mr. Tang?" Li An was even more surprised, and asked uncertainly.

Tang Huan bowed slightly, "I overheard, you guys are here for an interview, can you show me your resume?" ”

As soon as I heard this. Li An hurriedly sent the information of himself and Lin Huijia to Tang Huan respectfully.

Lin Huijia received her master's degree in microbiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is about to graduate with a Ph.D.

In addition to receiving a bachelor's degree in theater from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Ang Lee went to New York University's Graduate School of Filmmaking in 1981 to pursue a master's degree.

His two short films, "ShadesoftheLake" and "FineLine", "The Dividing Line", also have corresponding self-introductions.

"My medical lab is in need of a highly qualified researcher like Miss Lin." Tang Huan, who smiled slightly, returned the information to Ang Lee, and after encouraging a "good interview", he asked the driver to start the car and left.

Li Ang looked at the Mercedes Benz in the distance. Scratching his head, he muttered in confusion. "Why did Mr. Tang just praise you, but leave me out?"

……

Tang Huan, a billion-dollar Silicon Valley nouveau riche, in addition to showing his local tyrant spirit by holding a banquet that caused a sensation in San Francisco, also has many tricks to share his success benefits with others, which has become a topic of conversation in the outside world.

For example, Tang Huan chartered a Concorde with the number 208 from Air France to carry out a weekly flight between San Francisco and Hawaii for his subordinates on vacation.

Although Concorde has the advantage of supersonic speed, it has been resisted by various kinds because of the noise problem, and has not been killed in the civil aviation market of the Atlantic route as expected, and has to adopt a variety of flexible business methods, and rich charter planes like Tang Huan are the most popular.

The Air France Concorde flies between Paris and New York, crossing the Atlantic in about three and a half hours, twice as fast as a regular subsonic airliner, making it an exceptional travel experience.

Of course, the Concorde is also quite expensive, with a round-trip flight between Paris and New York costing $3,900, at least 20 percent more expensive than the first class of a regular subsonic airliner.

Because the Concorde can cruise faster than the dawn line, it can catch up with and surpass the Earth's rotation.

In other words, on the westbound route from San Francisco to Hawaii, the arrival time would be earlier than the departure time in San Francisco local time, so that you could see the unique image of the sun rising in the west.

Novelties like these rejoice employees who receive Hawaii vacation benefits, while others salivate with envy and are motivated to win such rewards in the future.

Tang Huan let his subordinates take turns to take happy vacations, and he sat in Silicon Valley to deal with various affairs.

He continued to take advantage of the situation to enhance the cohesion of his company, but Gates took another slap in the face. Allen, after being examined at Treasure Hospital, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease.

This disease is a cancer in which lesions spread in an orderly manner between the lymph nodes, and it requires radiation therapy, and with the right measures, the chances of survival are still very high.

But the immediate effect of this accident was that Paul. Alan had to say goodbye to his current job, and Microsoft would lose an important leader.

Gates, who got the news, was stunned at the time, Microsoft was at a critical stage of development, but he was going to lose his right-hand man in his career, how could this be good.

Tang Huan's direct reaction was not only like this, but also secretly called the evil sect.

Previously, Apple's co-founder Wads suffered a crash and walked away before the ghost door closed; Now co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, Paul Brown. Alan has cancer again, and life and death are unpredictable.

Could it be that these co-founders have fallen under some spell? Otherwise, how could an accident happen so coincidentally? (To be continued......)
