From Tang Huan and Ted. The dumbfounded expression on Turner's face could see how huge the impact of this sudden accident had on them, it was like a nail being pierced in the sole of his foot when he was doing something.

"Damn it." Ted. Turner was so angry that he threw away the telescope.

Tang Huan, who was the first to calm down, ordered his entourage in a deep voice, "Go visit our team members, and then find out whose ship is destroying our good deeds." ”

It wasn't until the post-race dinner began that it became clear that the troublemaker belonged to Rupert. Murdoch, and the other party is unabashedly proud.

"It turned out to be this old fellow." Ted. Turner was furious, "I've been getting worse and worse with Murdoch lately, and I didn't expect him to disgust us here." ”

Tang Huan thought about it and realized that Australia could be Murdoch's home turf.

Born on a farm 30 miles south of Melbourne, the media mogul built his media empire with the launch of Australia's first national newspaper, The Australian.

If you tear it up in Australia, it's hard to get a bargain.

So, Tang Huan reminded, "When I return to the United States, I will find a way to get the field back." ”

Unexpectedly, Murdoch was at the door of his hometown, with the power of victory, and his style was quite high-profile, and he came over deliberately to greet him as the host.

"Don, you should actually sell Warner's shares to News Corp., and I've prepared a very attractive offer." Murdoch had a look of regret on his face.

"I've got a business-related deal with Warner, so I'm sorry." Tang Huan replied lightly.

"Business-related?" Murdoch asked, meaningfully, "You seem to have always been obsessed with cable networks, is that why you?" ”

"Of course." Tang Huan bowed slightly. "You may not have read a paper I wrote, in which I analyzed that in the future, cable television networks and telecommunications networks can be connected to computer networks through technical means."

"I wonder how long this future will have to wait?" Murdoch laughed sarcastically, "Your prophecy." However, it has a greater effect on the stock price of the company under its name. ”

"Murdoch, can you please stop talking so much irrelevant nonsense." Ted. Turner interjected impatiently, "Your ship has sunk mine, you have to give an explanation." ”

"What's there to say, isn't it just an accident." Murdoch's eyelids drooped, "Who let it get in the way!" ”

"Okay, you've finally spoken your mind." Ted. Turner sneered, "Don't you like to fight?" We went to the boxing ring in Las Vegas. How about a fight? Live across the United States! ”

"Is it old to bully me?" Murdoch glanced at Ted disdainfully. Turner sneered, "You might as well let Don play, he has an age advantage." ”

Tang Huan picked up an apple from the fruit bowl and pinched it hard, and the whole apple immediately turned into a puree.

"Are you sure that if I invited you to the boxing ring, you would say yes?" Tang Huan asked with a smile, "I'm not just young. ”

Murdoch's old face instantly turned the color of pork liver. After a stupid reply of "boring", he turned and left.

Look at the back of this old enemy who fled in the wilderness. Ted. Turner laughed heartily, and his previous depression was swept away.

Tang Huan wiped his hands while frowning, thoughtful.

This post-match banquet was an open public place, and the verbal clash just now certainly could not avoid the eyes and ears of the reporters. What's more, this is still a lot of gossip, so it appeared in the newspapers the next day, and the spread spread from Australia to the United States in less than 24 hours.

……

"Gotta take Barry. Diller invited CNN. "Send Ted. When Turner got on the plane. Tang Huan specially admonished.

Ted. Turner nodded in understanding, then turned to ask, "When are you going back to the United States?" ”

"It doesn't matter if I'm in the U.S. or not, and I don't know anything about the media industry like cable TV." Tang Huan smiled playfully, "However, I can still remotely control my subordinates and cause some trouble for Murdoch in the capital market." ”

"Then you must not show mercy to your subordinates." Ted. After Turner said a word in anger, he waved goodbye to Tang Huan.

……

Tang Huan had planned to take the time to go to Siam again, but Gainfunan entered the dry season between November and April, and a large-scale military operation began immediately, and he really couldn't let go of his uncle.

As a result, Christina called happily, "Our little princess is about to be born, why don't you come and take a look?" ”

Tang Huan slapped his thigh, almost forgetting about this big event.

Because of the experience of giving birth to the first child, the female boat king was pregnant this time, and her psychological state was obviously much more stable, and Tang Huan didn't worry much about prenatal depression and other issues, so that he ignored it a little.

This is Tang Huan's first daughter, and he can't help but be a little overjoyed, and hurried directly from Australia to Paris. By the time I met Christina, she had already been admitted to the hospital.

"I've already named the baby, and the girl is called Athena. Tang Dynasty. Onassis, a boy named Plato. Tang Dynasty. Onassis, what do you think? The female ship king asked ostentatiously.

"Yes, the Onassis family has included all the three heroes of ancient Greece." Tang Huan had nothing to say about Christina's interest in naming her.

The female ship king, who was approved, touched the heads of the two sons who were guarding next to her with a smile, "After you have younger brothers and sisters, it will be more lively, you don't have to be like your mother, your parents and brother are gone, and you are very lonely." ”

Speaking of this, Christina's gaze turned to Tang Huan and thanked her tenderly, "My dear, since I met you, I have become a dream come true, and you are my greatest support." ”

"The birth is imminent, so don't be emotional, so as not to alarm the baby in the belly." Tang Huan gently held the hand of the female ship king, smiling and comforting.

"Okay, with you by my side, I won't think about anything else." Christina nodded contentedly. "By the way, I should build another boat for the baby that will be born."

The previous twin ships went around the Falklands battlefield, and then completed a round-the-world voyage, and currently provides cruise services in Miami, USA, and business can only be said to be neither bad nor good.

Seeing that the female ship king moved the idea of building a ship again. Tang Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Both brothers have their own boats, and if they don't have a baby in their wombs, they will be unhappy. Honey, don't you say? Christina shook Tang Huan's hand and began to be coquettish.

Without waiting for Tang Huan to answer, the female boat king laughed, "Look, the baby is moving around in the belly to protest, oops......"

"Still protesting. This is clearly about to be born. Tang Huan hurriedly called the doctor.

After Christina was wheeled into the delivery room, Aristotle. Tang Dynasty. Onassis and Socrates. Tang Dynasty. Onassis, the two little guys, pulled Tang Huan together and begged, "Dad, can you tell Mom not to let us go to kindergarten?" ”

"Why don't you want to go to kindergarten?" Tang Huan smiled and asked, "I feel that this is very good, I can learn how to get along with other children." ”

The two children replied in unison, with bitter faces. "Because they are so naïve and have no common language. Torture the dead. ”

Tang Huan suddenly looked at the precocious twins, and said in his heart that this was really the case.

Although there is no definite evidence, having given birth to so many twins, Tang Huan can basically come to a conclusion that the wisdom of many elites in his mind is very likely to be passed on to the next generation in some form. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the eight sons who have been, all of them are so clever. Correspondingly, the conflict in his mind is also decreasing.

It is not good for anyone to shoehorn these children with extraordinary intelligence into their peers.

Come to think of it. Tang Huan nodded, "I can help you, but I still have to find another education solution to arrange for you." ”

The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again, "Just don't go to kindergarten, it's been too sad these past few months." A couple of little kids who are still snotty, not to mention pestering people. ”

Looking at them looking like little adults, Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Come, have a good chat with me, what are you thinking about in your little heads?" ”

……

Athena. Tang Dynasty. Onassis and Plato. Tang Dynasty. Onassis was born safely, the former was a little more anxious, and he became an older sister and the latter became a younger brother.

"It's not easy, I also have a daughter." Tang Huan happily put Athena's little hand on his palm.

"Look how beautiful Athena's eyes are." Christina's attention was also all on her daughter.

As a result, Plato, who was left out in the cold on the other side, began to cry.

Aristotle and Socrates, who were watching the bustle, looked at each other, and then said in unison, "It's good that we were all the same." ”

"Mom is wrong...... Christina hurriedly comforted her little son, who knew he was jealous only a few days after he was born.

……

Rare things are precious, and this daughter, who is one out of ten miles, really makes Tang Huan happy to stay in Paris.

However, for a person like him, there is not always time to relax, and soon something will be on the desk waiting to be dealt with.

First, in January 1984, a major high-level personnel earthquake occurred in January 1984, when the chairman of the board of directors announced his resignation due to the intensification of conflicts with the board of directors.

Tang Huan's direct reaction to this was that he could bring an experienced compatible manufacturer to Fangyuan personal computers, so as not to make the Japanese side arrogant and difficult to control.

In addition, he may be able to fulfill his promise to help Warner find a home for Atari.

The second thing made Tang Huan both surprised and laughed - in the video tape format battle between VHS and Betamax, RCA actually chose to side with Sony.

You know, that's not the case with the original scripts in the plane.

Tang Huan, who was puzzled in his heart, hurriedly asked the Japanese side to send more information, and he understood what was going on.

It turned out that after seeing that CNN and Hollywood studios represented by Luen Mei and MGM had proved the commercial value of the videotapes with practical applications, RCA was moved and planned to make such a set of things to make a profit.

There is no doubt that ready-made technical solutions can be harvested directly in Japan.

Don't look at Japan's automobiles, home appliances, semiconductors and other products in the U.S. market, but in some areas, it is still necessary to rely on the agency mechanism to enter the U.S. market, just as Nintendo once tried to let Atari represent the U.S. market for FC game consoles.

If there were no videotapes, the VCRs would be meaningless, and the value of the videotapes lies in the content of the program recorded on them.

Hollywood companies such as Luen America, MGM, and Paramount, as well as television media such as Television News Network, have been able to make money in the home consumer market by distributing videotapes because they hold the rights to the content of these programs.

And in order not to affect mainstream media platforms such as movies and television, the programs on videotapes are usually not time-sensitive.

If video recorder and video cassette manufacturers directly push their products into the US market, they will face legal risks -- at this stage, the US judicial circles have not yet reached a clear conclusion on the relationship between video tapes and copyright.

It can be said that there is an invisible market access threshold here. In contrast, program content providers in the United States occupy a more advantageous position and have a greater right to speak.

So, RCA, who felt good about himself, searched for targets in Japan with the mentality of picking up bargains, and fell in love with JVC's VHS format at a glance, because the videotape directly has a 4-hour length specification, and the price of the video recorder can be reduced to less than $1,000.

These features are simply tailor-made for NBC, a subsidiary of the RCA, which broadcasts various sports events, due to the time difference between the east and west of the United States, is in need of this length of tape as a buffer.

In addition, in terms of broadcast-grade video tape products, JVC is also on the same starting line as Sony, an old industry standard powerhouse in this field.

But in the process of bargaining, RCA felt that JVC was not as groveling as he imagined.

After further investigation, RCA finally discovered that the vast majority of the new patents for the VHS format, including the 4-hour length and broadcast-grade S-VHS, belonged to Epson. In return for the original cooperation, JVC can be used for free, but it does not have the right to spread casually.

RCA, who didn't get enough advantage from JVC, used a negotiation technique and turned to JVC's rival Sony.

Originally, this was just to add a bargaining weight, but I didn't expect Sony, which should have a tough attitude because of its technical dependence, to show a more humble posture than JVC, and as a result, RCA, which wanted to fight the autumn wind, was pulled into the Betamax camp.
