As soon as Tang Huan arrived in London, England, he received news that the meeting with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had been postponed, and the time was undecided, so he almost said that it had been canceled.

"Brother is also a good day, and the itinerary is planned at least a week in advance. Why didn't you wait until I flew all the way to England before you said you couldn't see it? If I had known this, I might as well go to Spain to watch the World Cup. Tang Huan muttered unhappily in his heart.

"All I need is half an hour to meet, or a purely private meeting, and I can't make a trip in vain." Tang Huan instructed his subordinates to contact the Prime Minister's Office on Downing Street again.

Tang Huan flipped through the documents while waiting for a reply, but the result was that the other party said vaguely, "It's inconvenient." ”

"What do you mean?" Tang Huan immediately frowned, did he want to dry himself and exert some pressure?

He slapped the table in annoyance and rebuked: "What are you doing, why can't the information be sent to me little by little like squeezing toothpaste, and then explain the reason for the 'inconvenience'?" ”

"That's what happened on Downing Street, and although we can see it, we can't help it for a while." The subordinates said aggrievedly about the details of the work.

"You mean to say that the other party is going to play us on purpose, right?" Tang Huan narrowed his eyes, "Then you can cooperate, run errands again, and inquire about the reason." ”

After his subordinates left, Tang Huan muttered to himself, "Do I have any place to ask for the British now?" Otherwise, why would they be so confident in trying to pinch me? ”

After thinking of this. Tang Huan deliberately took a closer look at the report, game consoles, computers and peripherals, software, and video recorders...... Sales are rising slowly, but they are not affected.

As for the film aspect. Many films, led by "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", have also landed in British theaters as usual.

I flew over from Xiangjiang, and there was no big deal over there.

Tang Huan was suspicious, and his subordinates finally brought back the answer, and brought over a stack of newspapers for the last week, the top of which was "The Sun".

It turns out that the roots are caused by the little overlord game machine that is big in the tree. Since its hardware platform was cracked, EA has lost full control of its own products, just as Atari did with the Atari 2600.

There are not only manufacturers who exploit loopholes to produce illegal compatible machines. Sold to Eastern Europe and Latin America, there are also a number of notorious video games.

A rat droppings, a spoiled pot of porridge, is used to describe the bad effects caused by these black sheep. Couldn't be more appropriate.

EA certainly doesn't want to see that happen. But there is no way, who has let the video game industry in the North American market collectively go crazy.

The Xiaobawang console and the Atari 2600, which occupy an absolute share of the market, are now fully open to the hardware platform, but those who are ready to use this free environment to make money will raise a glass and rejoice.

Especially after Atari lost the lawsuit to Activision, the law does not guarantee the exclusivity of its Atari 2600 hardware platform, so it is logical that the Xiaobawang game console will follow in its footsteps.

In short, people want to fight local tyrants and divide the land. What can you do? The general trend of people's hearts and minds is nothing more than this. EA and Atari could only pinch their noses and admit it.

The bad effects of these bad games have spread to Europe, and some elites in Britain have been the first to react.

For example, the famous BBC host Jimmy Savile. Savile reprimanded him in the show, and even directly put the responsibility on EA's head.

BBC's "TopofthePop" - "Pop Music Charts", the status of the music industry is self-evident, and Jimmy Pop. Savile is the ace host of this ace show.

Every time I'm on the show, Jimmy. Savile's exaggerated style - a thin figure, a shriveled face, a pot-like silver hair buttoned like a helmet on his head, a colorful waterproof track and field uniform with dazzling jewelry, and a huge cigar in his mouth, can be described as "extremely coquettish", giving people a very deep impression.

Jimmy, who came from a poor background. Originally a coal miner, Savile injured his back in an accident in the 1950s, so he turned to touring small bars and growing in popularity.

By the late 1950s, Jimmy. Savile has become the head of 45 dance halls across the country and can be said to be the originator of British DJs.

In the 1960s, Jimmy . Savile first appeared in the public eye as a radio DJ, and in 1964 he joined the BBC, and since then he has been popular throughout Great Britain.

Since the BBC's first issue of the Pop Charts on New Year's Day 1964, Jimmy Brown. Savile has hosted more than 200 episodes, and his unmistakable rap voice and Dadaist style have become the highlight of the show.

By 1975, Jimmy. Savile appeared in the "JimllFixIt" program "Let Jimmy Fix It" as the "Uncle of the Country" - the uncle of children all over the UK.

At the show's peak ratings, almost 20,000 kids would write letters a week asking for Jimmy. Savile fulfills their wishes, such as meeting their favorite football players, or being able to sing with their favorite band, etc.

It's no exaggeration to say that Jimmy. Savile is the supreme king of entertainment programs in this era, a top idol figure, and the business card of the BBC.

More importantly, Jimmy. Savile was also a philanthropist, and was so generous that he is said to have donated up to 90 percent of his income. He has raised tens of millions of pounds to build hospitals, schools and many charities related to helping young people.

Therefore, in the eyes of many, Jimmy. Savile is the "Sage Savile".

Thanks to Jimmy. Savile has a huge social influence, which makes him and the British royal family. and successive prime ministers, all very close.

For example, the current British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is Jimmy. A good friend of Savile. He could have kicked off his shoes at Thatcher's house without seeing him. Sit in front of the fireplace and watch the Christmas program with Margaret Thatcher.

is such a highly energetic "national uncle", who righteously accused, "EA's little overlord game machine has affected the healthy growth of our British children," and the consequences of public opinion caused by it should not be underestimated.

In particular, Tang Huan had just seriously damaged the interests of British Far East business interests. Britain, which had already recovered from the quagmire of the Falklands war, was trying to make amends, but it was suffering from a dog biting a hedgehog - there was no way to put it into its mouth. made a kind appearance and prepared to coordinate with Tang Huan.

Now Jimmy. Whether Saville's motive is to become famous or to be secretly instructed by other interest groups. will undoubtedly give Britain a high-sounding excuse.

As for EA's desire to give in - those bad games are not developed in-house at all. But a sentence of "Xiaobawang game console is not your EA's" can forcibly block EA's mouth.

Guy, Britain just needs an excuse.

In fact, even if the interests of Xiaobawang Game Machine in the UK are completely lost, it will not have a serious impact on Tang Huan, not to mention that this incident is still in the initial stage of fermentation, and it is difficult to determine how much interest loss will be caused in the end.

However, this is not a good sign. To know. Tang Huan also has computers and peripheral equipment, software, video recorders and other products, which can be used as targets. Although he was not worried that Britain would dare to beat himself with open fire, the toad jumped on the surface of his feet - not biting people.

In terms of Tang Huan's style of acting, of course, he has to think of ideas to nip unfavorable factors in the bud.

Seeing Tang Huan silently flipping through the newspaper, his subordinates cautiously added: "The Prime Minister's Office has revealed that in view of EA's poor supervision of its own products, the relevant departments in the UK will make a decision to impose a fine, and before this problem is resolved, the Xiaobawang game console will be banned from being sold in the UK." ”

"Very good, salute before soldiers!" Tang Huan snorted coldly, "Maybe it can become a bargaining chip with enough weight." ”

"In addition to newspapers like The Sun, which are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and strive for sales, the BBC is also adding fuel to the fire, which is a bit strange, after all, this media organization has no need to wade into the muddy waters of this kind of business war."

Every household or business in the UK must buy a one-year TV licence to ensure that the BBC has enough money to "educate, inform and entertain" the public, at a cost set by the government.

It is because of this particular source of funding that the BBC's programming does not contain any commercials.

And theoretically, BBC producers are not driven by any commercial interests.

But this is only theoretical, how can the BBC be completely free from cannibalism, in fact, it still needs to face pressure such as politics.

"To some extent, there is a conflict of interest between us and the BBC." Tang Huan smiled sarcastically, "I remember that the BBC was actively promoting a project called BBCComputerLiteracyProject, which aimed to promote their BBCMicro personal computer in the education system. The personal computer products of Fangyuan, Apple, Commodore, Texas Instruments and other companies, and even the Xiaobawang game console with early education function, are all competitors, and they have quite advantages. ”

In fact, the UK has also made great achievements in the initial stage of the personal computer field, for example, around the University of Cambridge, there are more than ten personal computer companies, including Aikang Computer.

With so much money being "crowdfunded" from the public every year, the BBC certainly had to do something, so as early as the early 1980s, it began to pay attention to the impact of the industrial revolution that could be triggered by microcomputers on the future economy and life of Britain.

Because it received half of the funding from the government, the BBC ambitiously launched the BBCComputerLiteracy Project to develop the BBCMicro standard personal computer, and the British homegrown Akon computer technology used in the MOS6502 microprocessor personal computer was favored by the BBC.

By December 1981, the scheme came to fruition and the BBC launched the Model A and Model B BBCMicro standard PCs, priced at £235 and £335 respectively.

The BBC's intentions are good, but don't forget that the current PC industry is not a fierce competition that can be described as fierce.

In the $500 range, BBCMicro has to compete not only with similar products from Sinclair Research in the UK, but also from the United States, including Commodore64, from a number of better products.

It has to be mentioned that the old powerhouse of such products, Tandy Computer, also came to join in the fun with a new attitude.

Originally, after Tang Huan acquired the electronics chain RadioShack, he planned to let his personal computer product Tandy Computer die out naturally, and even transferred his project leader to Silicon Valley without bloodlessness, so that his team could be completely integrated into other project teams.

But what made Tang Huan cry and laugh was that Tandy Computer, known as a junk computer, was actually reborn in Silicon Valley by adopting the Fangyuan computer architecture.

Thanks to measures to reduce costs, such as the Z80 microprocessor, the completely reduced 8-bit ISA bus, and production in the Chinese mainland Special Economic Zone, the new Tandy computer easily reached the $500 range.

Coupled with the free introductory version of the software and demo EA games, Tandy's PC is impressively competitive.

Seeing that there was also a cheap personal computer competitor with a Xiaobawang game console in his own product camp, Tang Huan simply threw his subordinates to arrange business strategies, and did not forcibly suppress them as previously planned.

Guy Tang Huan also understood that existence is reasonable, and the "junk computer" under 500 US dollars, to the corresponding extent, is equivalent to 2000 to 3000 yuan of miscellaneous personal computers in the original time and space, and there are indeed a considerable number of customers who are willing to buy it as a toy and go home.

Since the subordinates have developed such products that do not lose money, then don't stifle them, let them continue to toss, maybe they can play an unplanned role.

Tang Huan's indifference is to add a more powerful competitor to BBCMicro, which is not surprising that it has caused the BBC to be unhappy.

After smoothing out the complicated relationship hidden in it with his subordinates, Tang Huan looked at Jimmy. Savile's photo couldn't help but be on fire, "What a sanctimonious so-called national uncle, when will it be your turn to jump out and pretend to be the Virgin." ”

Tang Huan waved his hand, called his most powerful assistant, and commanded in a deep voice: "Find a private detective to secretly investigate this guy, especially pay attention to the scenes where he has contact with underage girls in residences, hospitals, schools and other places, I want photos to prove this."
