"Please." Tang Huan looked at each other with interest. He came to make soy sauce, mainly to avoid Woz being distracted, so that he could finish the rest of the work of the RF card reader in one go, but he didn't expect to get into trouble.

"The second-generation Fangyuan computer will definitely be the focus of your work in the future, it is better to transfer the patents and technology of the AppleII function expansion card to Apple, so that the AppleII can be integrated and developed into subsequent models, so as to extend the product life cycle." Jobs stared at Tang Huan's eyes and seriously said the so-called proposal.

It is no exaggeration to say that when the second-generation Fangyuan computer was fully opened to commercial and individual users in the U.S. market this month, it was immediately bought back by peers for slicing and research.

The literati are light on each other, and it is inevitable that there will be vindictiveness among peers.

But from a technical point of view, everyone is still very convinced by the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

At the same time, in the computer professional media, a consensus was quickly formed that the second-generation Fangyuan computer is a commercial computer, and the cost and price factors make it difficult to popularize it among individual user groups.

In other words, the second-generation Fangyuan computer will not have much impact on the current personal computer market structure in the United States, and its main direction is the blank area of the current price gap between personal computers and small computers.

Whether such a product positioning will be high or low, not on the spot, up and down, and not pleasing has formed two diametrically opposed views.

Conservative people in the personal computer industry believe that the second-generation Fangyuan computer is very likely to be popular or not; In addition to the second-generation Fangyuan computer hardware, people who have also obtained a full set of software for the platform are very optimistic about the functions provided by the second-generation Fangyuan computer. That's exactly what business users expect.

But anyway. The second-generation Fangyuan computer has not significantly squeezed the living space of various manufacturers in the current personal computer market. Naturally, it doesn't seem to be as hated as IBM, which vowed to launch a new generation of cheap PCs.

Calm everyone, so you can calmly look at the second-generation Fangyuan computer, think that it is a good choice for the future development direction of personal computers, and quickly learn from it, so as to deal with the personal computer market chaos that the blue giant is about to cause.

Apple also has a similar idea, but because of its complex relationship with Tang Huan, there is more room for operation.

A generation of Fangyuan computers squeezed the Apple II out of the Far East market, and even fruit knockoffs such as "oranges" and "mangoes" were nipped in the bud. Coupled with Zheru's various AppleII function expansion cards, Apple realized that at the current cost level, the functions of AppleII can still be further enhanced.

As a result, Jobs and others set their sights on a series of AppleII function expansion cards developed by Zheru, if they are directly integrated into AppleII, they can definitely become the functional king of 8-bit personal computers in the American market.

And, with the help of Zheruken, the process will be a breeze.

You know, Apple is a bit lopsided when it comes to new product launches. Apple III failed, and both Lisa and MAC had the ambition to make a graphical user interface mandatory. It is destined to be fruitless in the near future.

The Apple II, which came out in 1977, has not been a new product since the launch of the improved AppleIIPlus in 1978, and it does not even support direct input of lowercase letters, which is obviously a bit old.

Seeing that the time is 1981, Apple should have a new move.

What's more, as a listed company, Apple must also engage in a sub-project, otherwise, it will not be able to explain to investors.

Tang Huan quickly figured out Apple's intentions, isn't it just to launch the AppleIIe in the original time and space two years in advance, but this version of AppleIIe is obviously more powerful, and it will catch up with a fairly good market environment.

The technologies that Jobs asked for were gradually reduced to chicken ribs for Tang Huan, who was already full-fledged, and his software platform no longer mainly relied on AppleII, so it was okay to let it out.

But the question is, what conditions does Apple offer in exchange?

Looking at Tang Huan's smiling expression, Jobs replied depressedly, "Naturally, I bought it with money." ”

Tang Huan laughed and turned his head to look at Makula, "Mike, this proposal is quite constructive, and I am willing to cooperate, but now I am not short of money." ”

"Tang, everyone is their own person, take care of it." Makula, who smiled bitterly, played the emotional card.

"Apple's shares have made you a billionaire, but what benefits does Zheru's shares bring us?" Seeing this scene, Jobs snorted, "The money-making Xiaobawang game console was put by you in your own private company EA, and the relationship between Zheru and EA was given a name for labor output, and Fangyuan Computer is also this model, which is too unkind." ”

"It's all a cliché, and it's boring to talk about it." Tang Huan replied lightly, "And they are all separate products, how to operate is my own business, if you are red-eyed, you don't have to." In addition, the software and function expansion card business, which is closely related to AppleII, has not been honestly sharing benefits with everyone, and it is very considerable. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan glanced at the few people present playfully, "If you feel that you have suffered a loss, sell back the eleven percent of the Zheru shares in Apple's hands to me, and I can also take three percent of my personal shares." ”

"That's what you want in exchange." Jobs slapped the table in annoyance.

"Then you'll find a condition that interests me more." Tang Huan spread his hands indifferently.

"If, as you say, you promise to transfer all the expansion card technology to Apple and help us quickly launch the new Apple II models?" Makula asked thoughtfully.

"That's fine." Tang Huan nodded sincerely.

"It's not appropriate, Zheru's prospects are so good, he sold his shares too early. The company's interests may be detrimental as a result. Scott objected.

"I didn't expect you to have more confidence in Zheru than I do." Tang Huan quipped Scott. Then Masaseki said, "The new model you planned." I'll call it AppleII Enhanced for the time being, after incorporating Zheru's expansion card technology, it is basically the 8-bit version of the second-generation Fangyuan computer, there should be no similar products in the US market, with the current Apple sales network, it is possible to sell a total of millions of units. So, this deal, it's still worth it. ”

Since Don is only willing to accept this condition. So be it, but make sure that our Apple II Enhanced, which is about the same time as IBM's personal computers, preferably no later than the first half of the year. Makula, who invisibly accepted Tang Huan's naming of the new product, slapped the board and confirmed to Tang Huan, "Tang, this request can be done, right?" ”

"With Watts, you have nothing to worry about." Tang Huan laughed.

Scott, who was a cold bystander, could understand the starting point of Macura, who is the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company, for such a decision. But he could not agree with what he saw as short-sighted.

Glancing at Jobs and Wads, who had no objections, Scott snorted coldly in his heart. Apple gave up 11 percent of Zheru's shares, but the three of you still have 3 percent of the shares, which is obviously selfish.

By the way, do you people already have a tacit understanding in advance?

Invisibly, the CEO of Apple began to feel that he and the three founders of the company no longer had the same cooperation as before.

"Then let's do it." Macoola urges impatiently, "The stock market needs Apple to make a substantial move, not just to watch Don's second-generation Fangyuan computer and IBM's personal computer compete fiercely." ”

Tang Huan smiled and bowed slightly, thinking in his heart, it seems that Apple's stock can usher in a new wave of market after the ban period.

……

Tang Huan paid enough attention to the deal between Zheru and Apple, and deliberately set up a project team to deal with it, while he himself prepared to fly to the East Coast of the United States.

But before that, Tang Huan drove to Lin's house, intending to let Lin Qingbian be a companion, but before his ass was hot, he was forcibly pulled out of the door by the other party.

"How do I feel like I was kicked out by you?" Tang Huan asked helplessly.

"It's not that I blame you." Lin Qingbian glanced at Tang Huan, "That girl has always been quick to talk, and she leaked our relationship at home." ”

"Then you should teach your sister a lesson." Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "I'm still going to talk to my uncle and aunt for a while." ”

"If they ask, 'When will we get married?' Lin Qingbian asked angrily, and didn't wait for Tang Huan to speak, and then counted, "Don't think I don't know your colorful life, even if I get on the thief ship and can't get off, I have to tolerate you, but my family is very conservative and not so easy to talk to." ”

Tang Huan rubbed his nose, hugged Lin Qingfang's shoulder, and changed the topic lightly, "Let's get in the car first, and I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Let's talk about it right here." Lin Qingbian was half-pushed and half-pulled into the car by Tang Huan, and then was intoxicated with raindrops of kisses.

"I know you have bad intentions." Lin Qingfang, who was relieved, slapped the man's chest a few times in anger.

Tang Huan smiled and enjoyed a different kind of massage, "It's better for you to move out and live, otherwise it will be inconvenient to meet." ”

"You're beautiful." Lin Qingfang cut off.

"We can decorate a large study room and put the books you want to read...... "Tang Huan, who is persevering, is kind and seductive.

After Lin Qingbian's eyes flashed with yearning, he punched Tang Huan twice hard, "You big villain, you want to coax me again to satisfy your thoughts." ”

"Then let's not talk about it yet." Tang Huan, who was seen through the trick, laughed and talked about the purpose of the trip, "It's about to be the inauguration ceremony of the new president of the United States, I was invited to see the excitement, you can come too." ”

"It's boring, don't go." Lin Qingbian unceremoniously refused.

"It's good to have a long insight." Tang Huan's claws quietly reached into Lin Qingfang's clothes.

"Are you threatening me?" Lin Qingfang, who was flushed, kicked Tang Huan.

"Aren't we negotiating amicably?" Tang Huan lowered his head with a smile and bit Lin Qingfang's small mouth, while he was making up his mind in his heart. It is necessary to break through the fortress of reserve that the opponent has rebuilt because he has not seen him for many days.

"I really can't help you." Lin Qingbian finally relented. "When are you leaving?"

"The ceremony will be on the 20th. Let's go now, and we can play for a few days. Tang Huan, who was satisfied, gently stroked Lin Qingfang's hair.

"It's been too long, and I can't explain it to my family." Lin Qingbian shook his head, "Why don't you get busy first, wait until the 19th, I'll go to Washington by myself, and you can pick me up when the time comes." ”

Tang Huan groaned slightly. I felt that it would be good to have this result now, and I couldn't press it step by step, so I nodded and agreed.

……

Although Lin Qingbian refused to go to the East Coast in advance, Tang Huan still left, and he came to Harvard University to visit Zhuang Menghua.

Some time ago, through a personal relationship, Tang Huan sent Zhuang Menghua to Warren? Warren Buffett's Berkshire? Hathaway Internship.

This time when he came to Harvard University, in addition to caring about whether the other party was adapting as usual, he also wanted to find out some news from the side that was used to corroborate each other.

It turned out that Tang Huan secretly entrusted Buffett to help acquire a shell company earlier. All kinds of related things have been dealt with almost completely. He wanted to hear what Zhuang Menghua actually observed in the microscopic situation.

To Tang Huan's surprise, Chua Meier and Judy? Foster is also here, and it seems that the latter has encountered something unhappy and is being unraveled.

"What's wrong?" After Tang Huan drank the water, he asked casually.

"There was a guy who claimed to be a fan of Judy, and he always mailed her some messy letters, and she was so annoyed that she was about to have a nervous breakdown. No, in the past two days, Judy has felt that someone is following her again. Cai Meier twittered about the cause and effect.

Tang Huan nodded, "In this case, I can only think about it widely." ”

"This is my internship experience, which notes some of the situation of the shell company that I observed." Zhuang Menghua handed over a notebook.

"The attitude is quite serious." Tang Huan praised it, opened it and flipped through it, and then bowed slightly, it seemed that he could start the next step.

"Hey, Boss Tang, don't forget to pay your salary." Zhuang Menghua stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Tang Huan's eyes.

"You little money fan, take it yourself." Tang Huan scolded with a smile and put the wallet in the other party's hand.

"You have a conscience." Zhuang Menghua happily drew two bills and returned his wallet, "Judy is about to go back to Yale University, you can act as a bodyguard to send it off, it can be regarded as an exorcism and evil spirit." ”

"How do I feel like you're going around the bend and calling me ugly." Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, and then his gaze fell on Judy? Foster, "Don't you have a shadow in your psyche, right?" ”

"It's not that serious, I ran here to relax and feel better." Judy? Foster shook his head, "I'll go back." ”

……

Very unexpectedly, when Tang Huan put Judy? When Foster was sent back to her Yale residence, downstairs, he also had a faint feeling as if someone was really spying on the two of them, although it was only a fleeting moment, but it was clear.

"It's wicked." Tang Huan muttered to himself in his heart.

"It seems like we're going to do an experiment to prove something." Tang Huan hugged Judy? Foster, whispered in her ear.

Ice and snow smart Judy? Foster, immediately realizing something, couldn't help but whisper nervously, "Do you also have that strange feeling of being stalked?" ”

"I can't say." Tang Huan patted the other party's back comfortingly, "Let's go back to the car and pretend to be affectionate to see if we can lure the snake out of the hole." ”

This kind of drama on the spot naturally did not bother the two, and soon they walked to the parking lot with a very intimate demeanor, as if a pair of lovers who were reluctant to part wanted to take advantage of the last opportunity before parting to have a good relationship.

After waiting for the car, Tang Huan and Judy? Foster cooperates with various movements to create the illusion that they are doing their own thing. Of course, it is true that there is a different taste for being bumpered with, but unfortunately the atmosphere is not right.

With the slight shaking of the car, the man who was hiding in the shadows finally couldn't bear it anymore, showed his figure, and walked over quickly.

Tang Huan, who found out about this situation, was a little more relaxed when he had been nervous.

I have to say that this guy has always refused to show his head before, and the psychological pressure caused to people is too great.

"That guy showed up, and we worked harder to get his attention." Tang Huan had a sneer on his face, take off Judy? Foster's shoes, with her little feet on the window.

The trick worked, the guy quickened his pace, but just got to the door of the car, and when he wanted to see the good things inside, the door slammed open, causing him to scream in pain and fall to the ground with his face covered.

Tang Huan, who quickly jumped out of the car, mercilessly rewarded the other party's two feet, and angrily asked about its origin.

"Passing by, because I saw the car moving on its own, I came over curiously to take a look." This guy is also clever, arguing and begging for mercy.

Tang Huan stepped on the other party's hand and said teasingly, "What good things are hidden, do you want to show them to us?" ”

This person has never had a chance to resist, and was finally beaten out of anger, and after a desperate pull, a donkey rolled and dodged, but Tang Huan's heartwarming feet followed closely and kicked the man to roll his eyes.

It wasn't until this guy held his head and really begged for mercy that Tang Huan withdrew his foot and searched out a pistol loaded with bullets from his body.

"This is a dangerous person, let's call the police immediately." Tang Huan said to Judy, who had already put on her shoes and walked out of the car? Foster said.

Originally, Judy? Foster wanted to calm things down, but when he saw the pistol that could fire at any time, his face immediately turned pale and he followed Tang Huan's advice. (To be continued......)
