With the recent close contact between Tang Huan and the public media, the reporters who are familiar with each other have asked more and more questions.

Soon, someone brought the conversation to video games, "Don, you know what, Atari's video game E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is selling so well, and you don't regret missing out on such a great opportunity?" ”

"Congratulations to Atari for digging a gold mine." After Tang Huan praised his old rival suspiciously, he said calmly: "Maybe I really missed it, but do you know what the box office of the movie "E.T. Alien" is in North America? $410 million. Therefore, we must also be content. ”

"Don, do you mean the box office of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, or is it something that Hollywood is talking about, and you make half of Hollywood's annual revenue?" The other party persistently asked, and the reporters next to him also pricked up their ears.

Everyone pays so much attention to Tang Huan's wealth, because in 1982, he made too much money in Hollywood, and the summer file with the best business opportunities was almost completely divided between his film company and Paramount.

The latter films are "AnOfficerandaGentleman" - "The Officer and the Gentleman" and "Star Trek", while the former films are "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", "Loki 3", "The Poltergeist" and "TheBestLittleWhorehouseinTexas" - "Spring City Flowers", which is twice as many as Paramount, and other films such as "Conan the Barbarian" and "First Blood" also performed well.

Among them, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" alone earned about $200 million in copy rentals, plus contributions from other blockbuster films. Tang Huan earns half of Hollywood's annual income. It spread quickly.

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated. But I can understand the incredulous mood of everyone. Tang Huan did not avoid this question, smiled sincerely, and said thoughtfully: "This phenomenon of one or two companies dominating the style actually shows that the Hollywood industry, which has a long history, has indeed fallen to the bottom, and the entire industry must think about how to recast its former glory." ”

"So. Don, what do you think? Thoughtfully, the reporters hurried to get to the bottom of it.

"Over the past few decades, Hollywood has been almost carved up by big conglomerates. Although this has strengthened the financial strength to resist the risk of box office failure, it has not yet been put in place. The root cause of the problems faced by the film industry is mainly that people's entertainment methods are becoming more and more diverse, and movies are just a choice. So, I personally think that Hollywood needs to be integrated with other media. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan waved his hand. "How do I feel off-topic, shouldn't you ask me about the IPO of Fangyuan Computer. And the computer industry? ”

Amid the laughter, the reporters finally got down to business.

……

With Tang Huan's current popularity, his words and deeds will naturally be sent to the public by the major media as quickly as possible, and then be discussed and analyzed by various kinds to summarize the so-called way to success, or be interpreted and ridiculed to entertain the public.

And those who have a heart can more or less speculate how likely this Silicon Valley nouveau riche is to compete with himself in the future.

……

The American media once again proved their pervasiveness, and they dug up the origin of Tang Huan's bald image.

In this regard, although Tang Huan is a little reluctant, there is no way, the freedom of speech, the media is strong here. What's more, while they gossiped, they also praised him for his humanity by the way.

But what happened next made Tang Huan furious.

A reporter from the New York Post went to the Treasure Hospital, secretly took a photo of Betty, published it, side by side with Tang Huan's bald head, and wrote a very misleading headline - "Is this the daughter of the richest man in the United States?" ”。

There was no doubt that the story was so appealing that the New York Post's newspaper of the day sold out at once.

Tang Huan immediately asked a lawyer to draft a statement on his behalf, condemning the unscrupulous New York Post, unscrupulously disturbing a terminally ill child, putting him in the public spotlight, and deliberately misleading Betty about her relationship.

Founded in 1801, the New York Post is one of the oldest newspapers in the United States, and at the end of 1976, when it was bought by Murdoch, the style of the newspaper changed dramatically, and began to increase the news about violence and sex, as well as scandals and cases, and to attract readers through exaggeration and exaggerated language.

This kind of tabloid style, all kinds of no lower limit is simply commonplace, and Tang Huan's dissatisfaction is cared about - "There is a huge media empire standing behind us, and you have the ability to bite me for such a trivial matter." ”

Tang Huan saw that he couldn't ask the New York Post to apologize, so he stopped talking nonsense and directly sued him in court with a complaint.

Originally, readers were accustomed to the New York Post's inconsistencies, after all, there is more than one yellow newspaper in the United States. But unexpectedly, Tang Huan was more serious.

But because of this, many people began to feel that Tang Huan's insistence was reasonable, and some bottom limits could not be broken, and a tabloid like the New York Post must be beaten.

All of a sudden, saliva flew all over the sky, and the New York Post was stubborn and didn't mean to bow its head at all.

……

In the midst of this tumult of discordant notes, the time came on Friday, January 14, 1983, when the much-anticipated Fangyuan Computer Company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

At this time, the reporters found that these Silicon Valley guys had come up with a new trick. Chambers and other executives knocked in and were replaced by eight middle- and entry-level employees of Fangyuan Computer Company.

Amid the cheers, the bell that symbolized the rolling wealth rang, and the shares of Fangyuan Computer Company began to be sold at a price of $30, and in less than an hour, 50 million shares were sold out.

At the close of the day, Fangyuan Computer's stock price closed at $42, and the entire company suddenly became a behemoth with a market value of more than $20 billion.

And in the days that followed, this upward momentum did not diminish in the slightest, like a small IBM.

This wave of wealth myths has made several veterans who followed Tang Huan become multimillionaires, and as for millionaires, hundreds have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Tang Huan, who holds nearly 40% of his shares, has suddenly skyrocketed by billions of dollars, becoming the world's richest man with a net worth of 10 billion yuan in one fell swoop, and has become more and more of a nouveau riche in Silicon Valley.

The listing of Fangyuan Computer Company has broken and created many jaw-dropping records, especially how the more than $1 billion obtained in the first round of financing will be spent, which makes people scratch their ears and cheeks with curiosity.

So the reporters stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, where Fangyuan Computer Company's investors and media appreciation dinner were held, waiting for Tang Huan to answer questions. (To be continued......)
