Tang Huan was about to ask what was going on, when the door of the ward slammed open, and a little girl staggered out, falling to the ground when the general hit him.

"Does it hurt to fall?" Tang Huan hurriedly bent down to ask, and at the same time noticed that the other party was very thin, so that the eyes on his small face became bigger and bigger.

Some timid little girls shook their heads and said nothing.

Deng Lijun, who moved quickly, gently helped the little girl up, helped her tidy up the hospital gown, and wiped the tears on her little face with a handkerchief.

"This kid is so thin." Deng Lijun whispered pityingly.

"Thank you." The little girl's mother chased after her, explaining apologetically, "Betty ran out while I wasn't looking." ”

"It's okay." Tang Huan waved his hand, squatted down to look at Betty, and asked gently, "Your name is Betty, how old are you this year?" ”

"Five." With her mother by her side, Betty was a lot bolder, and while answering, she looked at Tang Huan curiously.

"Can you tell me, why didn't you listen to your mother?" Tang Huan smiled and continued to ask.

"I don't want my mom to cut my hair." Betty fiddled with a strand of her hair, her little face full of stubbornness, "If you don't have hair, you're not pretty." ”

Tang Huan looked at Betty's mother inquiringly, but the other party only shook his head with tears in his eyes.

The accompanying hospital supervisor whispered in his ear: "Betty has leukemia ......"

Tang Huan nodded suddenly, and his heart, which had been busy with various calculations all day long, was suddenly touched. Although he is also a human being in two lives, he has his own unique understanding of life. But it is not yet possible to achieve complete detachment.

"Betty. Don't listen to your mother. That's not right. Tang Huan gently touched Betty's hair, "Actually, it won't be ugly without hair." If you don't believe me, I'll cut your hair with you. ”

"Really?" Betty reached out and touched Tang Huan's head.

"Of course." Tang Huan nodded seriously, "Now I'll cut your hair to show you." ”

There were two beds in the ward, and Betty pointed to one of them and said, "This bed is mine, and the big sister of that bed has been discharged." ”

"Just listen to mom and doctor. You'll be discharged from the hospital soon, too. Tang Huan took Hasbro's latest toy, My Pony, from his subordinates and handed it to Betty, "I'll give you a Christmas gift to see if you like it." ”

Betty excitedly opened the box and immediately cheered.

Tang Huan smiled with relief, sat down on the chair brought by the nurse, and began to cut his hair.

Betty put down the toy and stared at Tang Huan without blinking, witnessing the birth of a bald head.

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Tang Huan lowered his head and let Betty touch it a few times. "The other brothers also want this hairstyle."

And so. Tang Huan's assistants also removed three thousand troubles in front of Betty one by one.

Seeing that there were so many people with her, Betty had no resistance, and was happily cut off by the nurse.

Before leaving, Tang Huan held Betty's little hand and said, "If the doctor allows, let's spend Christmas together, okay?" ”

"Are these brothers together?" Betty looked at Tang Huan's bald assistant one by one.

"No problem." Tang Huan smiled and nodded.

……

After getting in the car, Deng Lijun touched Tang Huan's smooth scalp and smiled, "Your image has changed a lot, it won't affect the next activities." ”

"It's just a hairstyle, what's all the fuss." Tang Huan also touched his smooth scalp and sighed with emotion, "People must always be in awe." Everyone is equally powerless in the face of life and death, and we are no different from Betty. ”

Deng Lijun, who thought so, took Tang Huan's hand and said softly: "So, I am very content with everything I have now." ”

……

Tang Huan's bald image is still very shocking. Hawkins was surprised for a moment.

"I've heard that Atari's video game E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is selling well?" Tang Huan calmly touched his bald head and asked casually.

Atari had picked a good time to launch the video game E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial just before Christmas, and had already sold hundreds of thousands of copies and tens of millions of dollars in sales. Looking at this momentum, it is only a matter of time before more than 1 million copies. ”

Tripp. Hawkins nodded with a complicated face, "On the surface, the market is selling well, but most of the reviews about this game are negative, and Atari has no reaction, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for this company." ”

Steve? After spending more than $30 million and painstakingly obtaining exclusive authorization to develop the arcade and console game for the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," Ross hired Howard Scott Warshaw for $200,000 and a free Hawaiian vacation. Scott. Warsaw was responsible for the level design and programming of the video game.

Hurry up and make money, Steve? From the very beginning, Ross made a wishful thinking to take advantage of this year's movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" to sweep North America and make a lot of money by getting the video game of the same name on the Christmas schedule.

As a result, the development time frame for the E.T. Extra-Terrestrial video game was quite tight.

You know, Howard. Warsaw's famous Raiders of the Lost Ark video game took seven months to develop, leaving the E.T. Extra-Terrestrial video game to develop just about two months.

What's even more exaggerated is that the arcade version of the E.T. Alien game was also on the agenda at the same time.

In this case, Howard. Warsaw can only rush to work, and it is already very good to be able to produce the finished product within the stipulated time. As a result, the game ideas and programming implementations he took for granted were not accepted by players, and Atari ignored these reactions and did not take any public relations measures to remedy them.

The reason for this is not unrelated to the internal operating mechanism of Warner.

Paid a high price to buy the movie "E.T. Aliens" arcade and home console video game license, is the owner Steve Brown. Rose's idea, and Atari CEO Ray? Casa disagreed.

But this old man, before the announcement of the earnings report that triggered the decline in Warner's stock price, sold his shares, which led to an investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission on alleged insider trading, and had to resign, so Atari's operation was not so smooth.

After taking a sip of tea, Tang Huan slowly spoke, "The production plan for the "E.T. Aliens" video game cartridge is 5 million sets, is it really fake? How many Atari 2600s are on the market, and Atari executives don't count them? ”

"They're not sneaking their sights on our Little Overlord console platform." Tripp. Hawkins snorted disdainfully, "The Atari 2600 version of the E.T. Aliens video game has obvious traces of rush, and the platform version of the Little Overlord game console is even more miserable. ”

"It seems that the drop in the stock price has made Warners start to make a desperate bet, putting all the treasure on the E.T. Extra-Terrestrial video game, hoping that it will bring in significant financial data." Tang Huan frowned and analyzed.

"That's how it should be." Tripp. Hawkins nodded, "Ray? After Casa stepped down, Warner had not yet had time to pick a successor, and now Atari was headed by assistant CEOs, and the gang was so aggressive and intriguing in the operation of the E.T. Alien video game that it was likely that they were desperate to curry favor with Warner headquarters in order to get a promotion. ”

"If Atari keeps going down this path, it's really dangerous." Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, "Father and mother are married, everyone takes care of everyone, let it go, EA's stock price is also falling, and I, the richest man in the United States, am in an unstable position." ”

"Fangyuan Computer is about to IPO, and the first throne can't run, it's none other than you." Tripp. Hawkins complimented, and then said with some concern: "The matter of the land has finally been negotiated, but now that the market situation is so uncertain, do we still want to continue to operate?" ”

"Of course it continued." Tang Huan laughed, "You said it, Fangyuan Computer is about to IPO, and I can still have less funds to support EA." ”

At present, Zheru, Fangyuan Computer, EA, plus an Apple company, are all settled in the small Cupertino, which can't help but seem a little crowded, and Tang Huan hopes that his industry can go out and spread out, so he has been planning to let EA, Fangyuan Computer and other companies move.

Impressed by the vastness of Google's headquarters in the original time and space, Tang Huan asked EA to find a new headquarters in Silicon Valley or the San Francisco Bay Area, which must be large enough to accommodate his next plan for EA.

But the large territory also means that there are more taxes to pay, and Tang Huan hopes that EA can be taken care of like Google.

There are so many factors to consider, which makes it quite difficult for EA to move the nest, and it is only now that it has come to fruition.

"RedwoodCity ticked all the boxes." Tripp. Hawkins took out a few maps and pointed them to Tang Huan, "This is next to King's Road, and it has the only deep-water port south of San Francisco in San Francisco Bay. ”

"It's a good location." Tang Huan looked at it and nodded.

While chatting, his subordinates reported, the editor-in-chief of Time magazine's San Francisco division, Michael? Moritz came to visit.

Michael? Moritz is an old friend, and when Tang Huan was selected as the Person of the Year last year, he was in charge of the interview.

Tang Huan, who got up to greet him, quipped: "Michael, aren't you here to tell me that I was also selected as the Person of the Year by Time magazine this year, right?" ”

"Of course not." Michael? Moritz pointed to Tang Huan's bald head and laughed so hard that he almost knocked over the coffee, "But it's almost the same, we chose the personal computer as the person of the year this year." (To be continued......)
