See John? Warnock and Charles? The faces of the two could not hide their joy, Tang Huan wrenched his fingers, and said leisurely: "I handed over the two major standards of OpenType and PostScript, PageMaker, Illustrator, and Photoshop to Adobe to operate. Remember, we can't just because we have a first-mover advantage in the field of desktop publishing. The first thing you need to do is to execute an offensive sales strategy, stake your ground, and gain market share. ”

In the original time and space, Adobe, which started with PostScript, from the 1980s when it was founded, most of its profits came from the implementation of the PostScript solution on the printer, that is, the high licensing fee of the RasterImageProcessor.

At this time, Adobe's operation model was still typical of engineer thinking, spitting is a nail, the sales strategy was not flexible, and it completely relied on original technology to break into the market.

The PostScript solution implements a chip solution similar to that of a smartphone, Qualcomm has a large number of 3G patents, and the things sold are also black, and mobile phone manufacturers can only admit it.

However, the market will never lack spoilers, so MediaTek appeared, and Qualcomm could not be comfortable.

The same is true for Adobe's market situation on PostScript.

However, with the rise of RISC technology, many new platforms based on such processors have emerged, and third-party PostScript implementations have become quite common. Naturally, other vendors will no longer be resigned to the high cost of RIP. and the drawbacks of often only running on a handful of specific hardware. Adobe is often one step behind in supporting new platforms.

This passivity is most obvious in the high-end and low-end fields, with the new features provided by the new hardware, printers that achieve higher indicators cannot be implemented by Adobe's timely PostScript solution; Low-end printers can't afford the hefty licensing fees.

Many cheap laser printers simply don't support PostScript, and their drivers don't use PostScript at all.

When you need to use PostScript on such a printer, you can use a free software called GhostScript, which is a type of PostScript interpreter.

GhostScript uses the host computer's CPU to rasterize the result as a large bitmap. Send to a non-PostScript printer, enabling PostScript documents to be printed.

At the same time, GhostScript can also preview PostScript documents on a computer monitor, as well as convert PostScript into raster graphics such as TIFF and PNG or vector files such as PDF.

In the final analysis, it is because with the continuous improvement of the hardware performance of the computer, the CPU is faster, and the memory is larger, Adobe's PostScript implementation scheme is the same as Hanka, and it does not need to be executed with the help of separate hardware, and the host of the personal computer can do it all.

On the other hand. Adobe's monopoly of the printer market through PostScript has sparked discontent from two companies, Microsoft and Apple. So they banded together to try to pull Adobe out of its monopoly position.

Microsoft licensed the TrueImagePostScript interpreter it purchased to Apple; Apple is no longer in lockstep with Adobe, for example, its own printers not only use Adobe's PostScript solution, but also licenses its new font format, TrueType, to Microsoft.

A technical standard mixed up in this field, no matter how successful it is in the first place, will become embattled and precarious.

If Adobe only relies on PostScript to survive and goes all the way to the dark, it is estimated that it will either go bankrupt or be acquired, like most Silicon Valley companies.

Fortunately, Adobe entered the consumer software market in time, launched Illustrator, and coincidentally got its future flagship product, Photoshop.

More importantly, in the 1990s, Adobe, like EA, learned capital operation, bought the competitor's products, stopped when it should be stopped, and merged when it should be, which can be regarded as appreciating the true essence of monopoly means.

Tang Huan, who is familiar with the gains and losses of Adobe's rise, naturally wants to avoid some mistakes.

The current Adobe, backed by Zheru, is not comparable in strength to the shabby situation of the company's start-up stage in the original time and space, and the richness of the product line is innate, so there is no need to kill the chicken and take the eggs on PostScript.

A technical standard, if there is no large number of partners actively following and enthusiastically, then you can only play your own house.

How do you get your collaborators to come forward with all their hearts? The only way to do that is to equalize the benefits.

Tang Huan's policy to Adobe is not to be too dark on the licensing fees of PostScript and OpenType, and to promote it as the main goal.

The implementation of the moderately priced PostScript solution may attract strong competitors to its own laser printers, but the printer market is inherently a pattern of strong players.

The low cost of using OpenType can attract some celebrities to create their own fonts, and they can make a little money through the licensing of font use, which will undoubtedly bring popularity to the entire Fangyuan computer platform.

Adobe's real source of profit should be PageMaker, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

Before, Tang Huan and John? Warnock, Charles? The exchange between Geshke and Geshke was mainly about technology, and now it was a face-to-face lecture that focused on the way of business, and the two nodded their heads as they listened.

……

This annual developer conference in San Francisco. Desktop publishing systems aren't the only ones on the scene. It's just that it's a new product that has been gathering momentum for a long time. This is in the first place, and tomorrow there will be the latest technologies such as databases to be introduced, and Tang Huan will continue to preside.

Although all kinds of entertainment continued, Tang Huan still quit the dinner and went home.

Because during the Qingming period, my aunt Tang Yun returned to the United States from Singapore, and when she visited the tomb, she solemnly worshipped. Tell the ancestors that the Tang family's vein is spreading out.

No matter how busy Tang Huan is, he has to have dinner with the old man and get together with his family.

Aunt Tang Yun was sitting in the study at this time, wearing reading glasses, flipping through the account book and pulling the abacus.

"Didn't I have a calculator for you?" Tang Huan said with a smile.

"I'm not used to it. Besides, my property is just a few restaurants and real estate, it's very simple. Aunt Tang Yun shook her head, "I've been in Asia for so long. I walked around Treasure Island, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other places, and found that the economic situation was really different from before. No wonder your cheap uncle insisted on letting Tang Xuan marry the big family in Baodao and actively invest, and I plan to do so with some of the funds. ”

Seeing Tang Huan smile noncommittally, Aunt Tang Yun took off her reading glasses and snorted, "I know that your net worth is different now, and you don't look down on this little money." ”

"It's hard to know, fly legs are also meat." Tang Huan hurriedly waved his hand.

"You don't have to say anything." Aunt Tang Yun picked up the ledger and shook it, "You are smart, the restaurant in Cupertino opened the latest, and now it is the most profitable, and I don't know how many employees take care of it." ”

"It's nothing, it's just handing over money from the left hand to the right hand, which is also called the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders." Tang Huan replied proudly.

"You have so many ideas, don't forget to set up a special fund for my two good grandsons, one million dollars each." Aunt Tang Yun commanded solemnly.

Tang Huan nodded hurriedly, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, as for being so spoiled.

At this time, Tang Wenmao sent a few documents, so Tang Huan returned to the living room and flipped through them with a teacup.

Carter, who has stepped down from the presidential throne, after recuperating for more than two months, finally thought quietly and was unwilling to be lonely to participate in social affairs, such as agreeing to serve in the Shennong Foundation and coming to meet with Tang Huan immediately.

"This big Buddha, please finally move." Tang Huan laughed happily.

Tang Wenmao nodded and secretly glanced at the document at the bottom.

"Baodao specially sent someone to discuss with me about the itinerary of the business delegation, and Mr. Jiang wants to meet me?" Tang Huan smiled and shook his head, "The factory I opened in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park had an output value of hundreds of millions of dollars last year, and the supporting industries driven by it are in full swing, and he finally can't sit still." ”

Tang Huan finally picked up the last document, and after scanning it twice, his originally smiling face suddenly became cold as frost.

With a snap, the teacup in Tang Huan's hand fell heavily to the ground.

Tang Wenmao was frightened, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart, I knew that the consequences would be very serious, so I put the document at the end.

It has been more than two years since he came to this time and space, and Tang Huan rarely gets angry, after all, he has been a human being in two lives, and most things have already been seen through, and it is not worth making waves in his heart.

But now, Tang Huan finally moved the wrath of thunder.

Aunt Tang Yun heard the noise, walked out of the study, took a look, and then asked the maid to come and clean up, and said lightly: "Your current identity is extraordinary, every move will be watched by your subordinates, and you can't leave behind in your qi cultivation kung fu." ”

Tang Huan snorted, got up and paced back and forth for a while, picked up the document and read it again, and said with a sneer, "These people, that's all there is left." ”

……

According to the plan, Deng Lijun will hold a solo concert for the fifth time at the Hong Kong Lee Stage in mid-to-late April, and then the next stop is Singapore.

But the concerts on the Xiangjiang side began to be prepared, but Deng Lijun couldn't leave the treasure island because she was stuck on the visa issue again.

The root cause of the matter lies in the fact that the relevant authorities on Baodao arranged for Deng Lijun to perform for a month, but her assistant rejected her with the excuse that "Miss Deng is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Children, so it is inconvenient for her to participate in activities with obvious political implications."

In fact, in the United States for more than a year, Deng Lijun has long been brainwashed by Tang Huan. Jump out of the box.

In Tang Huan's words. You're not in the system. If you don't eat the imperial food, why do you always have to be yelled at by politicians?

When the passport turmoil broke out, even if you took care of it a little, you would not be far away from the United States.

Now I find that you have a very high reputation in the mainland, and you plan to keep it in your hands as before, and play the cards well?

According to Tang Huan's meaning, after Deng Lijun returned to Treasure Island last year. In line with the official intentions, the event will be at the end of the year, and the two will not owe each other.

In this regard, Deng Lijun naturally obeyed her words.

Therefore, she acquiesced to the assistant's refusal this time.

Originally, Tang Huan and Mr. Song, who was in charge of the Information Bureau, had a tacit understanding, since she would not go to the mainland, then some of the activities that Baodao labeled her should not be tossed around.

Deng Lijun continues to pursue her musical dreams. Go to Treasure Island as much as you want, and everyone will be safe. Very good.

This refusal to arrange a one-month performance by the labor army should put an end to the matter.

But the reality is that it backfired, and some media on Baodao began to stand on the moral high ground and bombard Deng Lijun with public opinion.

There are even newspapers that have labeled Deng Lijun with a huge amount of property of unknown origin, you are a star who has been out of fashion for more than a year, and you have been sitting in the United States for more than a year, where did you get the capital to donate money to girls' education and set up scholarships on the treasure island?

Especially, how are your two assistants blonde babes?

At first glance, these reports may seem chaotic and shambled, but with a little brain, you can guess that someone is behind it.

Deng Lijun did not respond to these disturbances, and stayed at home to ponder the Chinese-style album she had been preparing.

After Tang Huan saw the document, he only had one feeling that these people were left with this little bit of bullying women.

The labor army performed for a month, and he can really treat people as coolies, and the conditions on the Jinma side are hard, and if you think about it carefully, your scalp is numb, and big men may not be able to bear it.

……

During this trip to the United States, Mr. Song went with He Yici, director of Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, but before leaving, he suddenly received a message from Zheru Baodao Company that the business visit was cancelled.

At that time, Mr. Song was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, Boss Tang Wow, I can guess what you are for, but we can't play the game of being angry at the crown and being red-faced.

There are many factions on the treasure island, and the following people want to ask for credit, so I can't make it clear that I oppose it.

And these bits and pieces, Mr. Jiang, who is not in good health, does not have the energy to know.

On the contrary, he also attaches great importance to your business delegation, and specially asked me to ventilate with you in advance, so that we can have a good conversation during the meeting.

You're picking a picker now, how can I make a difference.

He Yici is just a technical official, naturally he will not understand the thoughts of bureaucrats and politicians, and when he heard that the business delegation was canceled, he was anxious, "How can this be, Acer, Lianhua, Hon Hai...... A large number of companies are waiting to take over the project, how can I explain it. ”

Mr. Song snorted lightly, and said in his heart that no matter how difficult you are to explain to the people below, they don't dare to do anything to you, if I make the top boss dissatisfied, it will only be a matter of minutes to lose the black yarn hat.

Seeing Mr. Song's displeased face, He Yici coughed lightly and regained his composure, "Since the business delegation has been canceled, will we still go to the United States?" ”

"Of course we have to go, otherwise, we won't be able to make a difference." Mr. Song replied angrily.

……

After getting off the plane, Mr. Song did not see Tang Huan, and his personal assistant Tang Wenmao picked up the plane and was in charge of the schedule.

In this regard, Mr. Song didn't feel that he was being treated slowly, who made Tang Fa trace so quickly, saying that he believed it himself.

Besides, this Tang Wenmao is Tang Huan's distant cousin, and he definitely belongs to a figure who is not in a high position but has real power, which should not be underestimated.

After staying at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco's affluent area, Mr. Song had nothing to say, with such a high standard of hospitality, he couldn't find a place to pick and choose.

After Tang Wenmao left, Mr. Song hurried to the newspaper to learn about the local situation.

When the San Francisco Chronicle opened, the headlines were: Wall Street darlings set their sights on new frontiers, and desktop publishing systems sparked an industrial revolution.

Mr. Song understands that this is a new product launched by Tang Huan's company, what are the two major standards OpenType, PostScript, and the three major software PageMaker, Illustrator, and Photoshop, but in addition to knowing how to magically Yunyun, I really don't understand the specific functions.

Mr. Song flipped back to the financial section, and the headline read: New personal computers are on the market, Apple Inc. launches AppleIIe, which has led to a rise in stock prices, and Tang Huan, the third-largest individual shareholder, has filed a document with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report the sale of his shares, according to his spokesman, the move is related to balancing personal financial relationships.

Mr. Song raised his eyebrows, flipped to the entertainment section, and the headline became: MGM, one of the eight largest Hollywood companies, has settled in the dust, and the buyer is a Middle Eastern consortium and billionaire Tang Huan.

Mr. Song gasped and finally flipped to the sports edition, and the headline was interesting: The three major league teams at Oakland Stadium turned out to be a family, and their owners were all Tang Huan.

Mr. Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, "Things are in trouble." (To be continued......)
