After the secret arrangement was made, Tang Huan planned to leave the UK, so that he would not stay here to put a cold fart on his face.

It just so happened that Britain was relying on the prestige of winning the Falklands War, and the next step was to discuss the future of Xiangjiang with China, and now it can be described as a delicate and sensitive period, and Tang Huan, the head of the first consortium in Xiangjiang, just took advantage of this to flash to the side.

As for the trouble of the Xiaobawang game console, I believe that it will not be long before the troublemaker will fall into the quagmire of ripping because the troublemaker exposes his ugly face.

Predicting the possible chicken feathers in the British public opinion circle, Tang Huan couldn't help sneering slightly, "If you want to calculate me, it's just looking for death!" ”

In the past two days, there have always been reporters circling around, Tang Huan has always been too lazy to deal with them, and now he goes to the airport, but he is blocked by these people who see the opportunity.

……

"Don, I heard that the meeting you had originally scheduled with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was suddenly canceled, is there any inside story here?"

"Not a cancellation, but a postponement. As for the insider, you guys think too much. Tang Huanyun replied calmly.

"EA's Xiaobawang game console has been widely criticized for the bad effects caused by bad games on its platform, and it is said that it will also receive huge fines from the government and even be banned from sales. Don, what do you think about this? ”

"Just because EA is the industry leader doesn't mean you can't blame it for the chaos in the video game industry right now. EA also doesn't want to see its own products cracked and become a tool for others to make money without a bottom line. But in the face of the huge energy of greed, EA is also very weak. ”

Tang Huan emphasized solemnly. "If you really want to force accountability, that's what you just said."

Seeing Tang Huan's attitude, he suddenly hardened. The reporters immediately became excited. They asked. "Don, what would you do if that really happened? Will it be like in Xiangjiang, to regain face through the capital war? ”

"You are always used to thinking too much, will I use the legal weapon?" Tang Huan snorted, and with the help of his bodyguards, he squeezed through the crowd and got into the car.

……

Seeing Tang Huan answer. The journalists sighed in disappointment. However, compared to Tang Huan's rejection thousands of miles away a few days ago, this time he finally spoke, so it's easy to do, just give full play to your imagination and literary talent.

As a result, the British media began to use Tang Huan to varying degrees to make fancy articles.

For example, the "Sun" newspaper wrote that after the world's billionaire Tang Huan successfully acquired the century-old British Far East trading firm Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong, he proudly came to London to seek business communication and understanding, but was met with a cold reception from Downing Street. Walked away in disgrace.

For EA, which helped Tang Huan become the richest man in the United States, is about to face a credibility crisis in the UK. Tang Huan had no other way to deal with it except for his hard mouth.

It seems that the Overlord console will suffer a Waterloo in the UK, and it may also be accompanied by a drop in EA's stock price. At that time, Tang Huan's net worth doesn't know what it will shrink into.

In contrast to the gloating and gloating of The Sun, Jimmy. Savile expressed his dislike for Tang Huan even more clearly.

He said directly: "This nouveau riche who has taken shit luck, it is better to get out of the UK with his little overlord game console, so as not to teach our next generation badly." The technology that Britain really needs should be a great invention with a noble purpose, like BBCMicro. ”

People in the entertainment industry, it doesn't matter if they are ugly, they are afraid that they will be featureless and unable to leave an impression on the public.

Jimmy. An ace host like Savile, of course, is well aware of three of them, and he used this kind of maverick who angrily denounced the unscrupulous businessmen to once again win himself a full house, and his popularity skyrocketed.

In addition to many parents who have been fooled into calling and sending letters, a statement to Jimmy. In addition to Saville's admiration, even the relevant authorities in the United Kingdom said that they are aware of the negative social impact of the current video game and are considering what measures to take.

……

After Tang Huan arrived in New York, USA, he first met his uncle Han Anyuan, who had returned safely from the Falklands.

The other side is busy writing a book about his experience as a war correspondent, and the publisher has even agreed in advance. At the same time, Columbia University also invited him to give a speech, and the response was quite enthusiastic.

It can be said that Han Anyuan is also a well-known figure at present.

"It's okay, uncle, it's a good mix now." Tang Huan quipped, "By the way, don't you have beautiful followers to sort out the manuscript for you?" ”

"Of course." Han Anyuan admitted calmly, "But I feel that people here are complicated, so I politely declined." ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Huan, who was really blindfolded, couldn't help but laugh, "What are you doing so carefully, if you really get into trouble, I'll wipe your ass when the time comes, money is endlessly attractive here." ”

"Get out! Dare to make fun of the elders, be careful that I smoke you. Han Anyuan scolded with a smile.

"What about Lu Xiaohu and Zheng Gang?" Tang Huan, who waved his hand to say goodbye, asked casually.

"Where are the two of them who can stay idle, after returning to the United States, they first went to your treasure hunting fleet to play for a while, and then returned to Xiangjiang two days ago."

After Han Anyuan straightened out the manuscript, he continued: "The matter of the book will be dealt with soon, and I plan to take the time to return to China and bring back some of the experience I have gained this time." Do you want to go back and see the old man together? He's retired now, but he's very idle. ”

"Let's look at the itinerary, my console business has a little trouble in the UK and needs to be dealt with." Tang Huan replied with a deep groan, "When the time comes, you can go by yourself, I have a private jet, which is more convenient." ”

The two nephews had a few drinks, and after talking, Tang Huan came to the branch and asked about the arrangements for participating in the COMDEX spring exhibition.

With the entry of IBM, a giant that is almost equal to computers, last year, the personal computer is now a new product in the United States, and even remote farms can see personal computers that provide statistical help.

And so. COMDEX, a specialized computer exhibition, has also flourished rapidly. This year, except that it is the same as last year. In addition to the spring and autumn exhibitions, we are also trying to increase the number of European exhibitions in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

For this exhibition, Tang Huan's company is already familiar with it, and he, the boss, doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Tang Huan's main focus is on the macro industry dynamics, what new technologies, new applications, and new competitors have emerged.

There is also how Tang Huan will speak at the COMDEX forum, after all, not only COMDEX is becoming more and more influential. Tang Huan's position is also increasing in importance, and he must prepare carefully.

It is worth noting that Shi Chongtang, as the global vice president of the group, participated in this event for the first time.

This high-level personnel change was specially arranged by Tang Huan, and Shi Chongtang has almost exercised, and it is time to be promoted to the US headquarters and create a core of power for Chinese executives.

Especially in the second half of the year, when Fangyuan Computer was in full swing for the listing, various interests were intricately disputed, and Tang Huan needed to join a new pole to check and balance.

As for the position in the Asia-Pacific region vacated by Shi Chongtang. Zhou Weikun of Zheru Xiangjiang Company was naturally on top.

When he saw Hawkins, although the other party acted according to Tang Huan's advance arrangement. But it is not without regret that "the license to adapt the video game of "E.T. Alien" was snatched away by Warner at a high price. ”

It's no wonder that Hawkins is a little depressed, and now the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is a hot mess, and it's a pity to give such a good genre to others.

"Warner has fully licensed the E.T. Extra-Terrestrial video game adaptation in full compliance with the $30 million default clause. Such a generous offer, partly because of the value of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" itself, and on the other hand, because of Steve? Ross wanted to win over Spielberg. EA has no need to resist Warner's imperativeness, as long as it achieves the goal of weakening the opponent's financial strength. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled playfully, "Actually, you can think about it from another angle, how much benefit Atari's "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" video game project has to produce in order to earn back this investment. ”

"The movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is very popular now, and with this popularity, as long as Atari develops it seriously, it shouldn't be a problem to make a lot of money." Hawkins still seemed unwilling.

"Judging from the general atmosphere of the entire video game industry, as well as Atari's impetuous performance, the E.T. Alien video game project is difficult to work on."

Tang Huan smiled weirdly, "Atari is definitely going to launch the video game "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" before Christmas this year, and now it's almost July, and it will only take half a year to develop when it's full, if its development cycle is further compressed, what do you think will happen?" ”

"In a hurry." Hawkins laughed knowingly, and then changed the conversation and said: "The development of video games on the personal computer platform has finally paid off, and it can be used as an excuse to miss the license of the "E.T. Extra-Terrestrial" video game adaptation, and explain it to Wall Street. ”

"These are the little things." Tang Huan sighed softly, "The bad influence of bad games is getting bigger and bigger, and we must find a way to take back control of the game hardware platform." ”

"Perhaps, the second-generation Xiaobawang game console, which has been secretly striving for excellence, is time to go out of the mountain." Hawkins eagerly suggested: "And that ever-improving royalty system." ”

"The system performance of the second-generation Xiaobawang game console is definitely epoch-making, but its cost is still problematic; And the royalty system also seems to be overbearing in the eyes of discerning people, and the United States may not buy it. Maybe when the situation in the industry deteriorates a little more, everyone's financial road is almost cut off, and the timing will be better. Tang Huan shook his head.

After listening to Tang Huan's analysis, Hawkins rubbed his nose and found that in addition to his talents, his patience was much worse than that of his boss.

The two were discussing, Andy, president of Luen America? Albert called, and said in a worried tone: "Don, we seem to be in a little trouble. ”

"What's the matter, is there an extra zero in the box office statistics of the summer file?" Tang Huan quipped.

"It's not this year's movie, it's about "007" that will be released next year. James. Bond actor Roger. Moore, after the contract expired, was not ready to renew the contract, and the crew of "007" had to look for a new successor. ”

Andy? Albert sighed, "Originally, this change was nothing, but Warner suddenly invested in a "007", and it has been confirmed, the director is Irving, who once directed "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back". Kershner, the actor is James. Bond's first actor Sean. Connery, which will be launched in the second half of the year and released next year, looks like he is in the ring, which makes the situation a little complicated. ”

Hearing this, Tang Huan sneered disdainfully. Warner, an old enemy, is planning to give himself a two-sided attack, not only grabbing the "E.T. Extra-Terrestrial" video game adaptation license in the field of video games, but also launching a strong copycat version of "007" to compete for the box office.

Tang Huan thought for a moment and did not include James. There are now two knockoffs on Bond's official film list, namely the 1954 black-and-white TV movie "CasinoRoyale" - "Gambling City Spy Blood", starring Barry Nelson - Barry. Nelson, and the 1967 comedy film CasinoRoyale, starring David Niven. Niven.

Originally, there was a third knockoff in the original time and space, that is, Sean. "Cruise Missile" starring Connery. According to the time calculation, Warner should invest in this movie.

It seems, Steve? Ross is pretty rich now. Since you are not going to save money for next year's winter, and you will find death to calculate me, then my brother will give you bloodletting, this trick has been practiced very easily by Yihe.

"Octopussy – What's the budget for Octopussy?" Tang Huan asked lightly.

"$27.5 million." Andy? Albert replied as soon as he opened his mouth.

"In response to Warner's investment in '007', you immediately disclosed that 'Octopus' has a budget of $35 million and will use state-of-the-art special effects to present the most innovative audio-visual experience to the audience." Tang Huan commanded in a deep voice.

"$35 million?" Andy? Albert was taken aback by this number and asked rhetorically.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.

Andy? Albert has already been put out of the psychological shadow of "Heaven's Gate" with an investment of $44 million, and his wariness of big-budget movies is not ordinarily strong.

Previously, the "007" with the highest budget was "Moonraker" released in 1979 - "Space City", which reached $34 million, but I didn't expect Tang Huan to refresh this record again as soon as he opened his mouth casually. (To be continued......)
