Chapter 0915: Cracks are inevitable under interests
……
The appearance time of "Decryption Storm" is a bit "coincidental", especially compared with the previous release of the "007" series, which was almost arranged in the summer file, but this year it was moved back to the Christmas file, which seems to confirm the conspiracy theories complained about by the anxious France. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this regard, Lianmei, who was busy counting the silver, explained it very calmly - the reason why the release time of "Decryption Storm" did not follow the convention was because it considered avoiding "Jurassic Park" and "The End of the World"; And the facts have proved that this schedule adjustment is very correct.
The media that followed the report generally agreed that "Decryption Storm" alluded to the French political scene incompletely, which is purely a coincidence, after all, it cannot be consumed with "Jurassic Park", and "Jurassic Park" and Warner's "The Outlaw" do control this year's summer file.
It can only be said - France, who let you catch up!
In fact, "Decryption Storm" still follows some conventions in recent years.
For example, the world premiere was held in London, where the richest man accompanied Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales, and attracted an overly enthusiastic British press.
Gain, the star couple hasn't been seen together in public for a long time.
It is rumored that there is a problem in their marriage.
In addition, their performance is not so gregarious - the fact that the prince is having an affair is almost a certainty; The princess, on the other hand, kept the two little princes under strict control so that it was not easy for Queen Elizabeth to see her grandson, and her actions in public life became more and more radical.
This year in particular, Diana traveled to Funan, where countless landmines were left behind during the war, causing a large number of civilian casualties, and even after the war ended, people still often suffered misfortunes. The photo of her wearing a steel helmet and standing in front of a minefield has become a major focus of international public opinion; The call for a worldwide ban on the use of landmines is considered to be over-the-top and interfere in politics~governance.
Tang Huan looked at the fairy tale combination of princes and princesses who once envied the world, and was quite speechless - if you don't enjoy the royal life that is pampered and respected, what is the seven-year itch. Outsiders really can't figure it out!
The biggest difference between the current situation and the original time and space is that Diana was told by the richest man, so she did not retaliate on the relationship between men and women, but frantically brushed up her prestige, making her husband, who succeeded to the throne far away, more and more unprecedented, and then made Queen Elizabeth feel that she was too active and a little inappropriate.
However, after Tang Huan exerted his influence, there was also a small trouble. That is, Diana and Christina are getting closer and closer. The intimacy of the female ship king, who owns a castle in the United Kingdom, and the princess of Wales in and out of the upper class venues, has led to lace news.
Fortunately, Diana, an alien member of the British royal family, should have a much more optimistic outlook than the original time and space, and her value is of course self-evident.
Charles seems to be quite satisfied with the current state of non-interference with each other, and one proof of this is that he is very interested in "Decryption Storm", the latest "007".
……
James Bond, the British calling card fictional character, is getting more and more awesome - good!
The plot revolving around the arms purchase case is full of twists and turns - good!
The action scenes with oriental kung fu elements are pleasing to the eye - good!
Playing the role of an arms agent, the fat man of the leader of the Green Gang, behaves insidiously and ruthlessly - good!
……
Tang Huan deliberately called Hong Jinbao, who played the villain, to the front, and said a few words to Charles, who was full of appreciation, and quipped: "It seems that it is easier to impress the audience by playing a bad guy." ”
……
After attending the APEC summit in Seattle, Tang Huan didn't rest much and came to Europe, and he also had urgent matters to deal with.
The trouble of "Decryption Storm" is not counted, and with this momentum, the party concerned, France, does not dare to stumble over the release of the film by covering its ears and stealing the bell, otherwise, it will be equivalent to not admitting itself.
The main purpose of this trip is to find a suitable foothold in Europe for Fang Yuan and Zheru's large amount of cash, which can be regarded as a tacit tax avoidance method within the rules.
More than a year has passed since the "Black Wednesday," the symbol event of the turmoil in the European financial market, and the international hedging funds that were making waves have all died down contentedly, and the situation has basically returned to calm.
As for the United Kingdom, which had to withdraw from the European monetary exchange rate system when the pound was sniped and had no power to fight back, it did usher in a turning point out of the economic trough, and when it came to policy again, it did not have to be constrained by the European economic order dominated by Germany.
At the beginning of this year, the Bank of England lowered it to 6%, the lowest level since 1978, according to the actual situation in the United Kingdom, and also played the desired leverage.
In addition to the calm of financial markets, the countries of Western Europe have taken the lead in adapting to the general trend of global economic integration since the end of the Cold War -- on 1 November this year, the Treaty of Maastricht entered into force, the European Union was formally established, and the three major European communities were integrated into the European Union, while developing a common foreign and security policy and strengthening cooperation in judicial and domestic affairs.
With the real flow of capital and a more attractive tax policy than in the United States, it is time to adjust the philosophical and square finances.
Hegemony is hegemony, no matter how much you pull the foil, you will behave like a spring breeze and rain, but after a long time, others will inevitably be dissatisfied with the division of interests, and they will have rebellious thoughts.
Just as the state maintains a sufficiently deterrent army, Zheru and Fang Yuan have eye-watering cash reserves, and as long as there is a real threat, technological catch-up, market suppression, asset acquisition, and so on, can be calmly used.
With the various uncontrollable variables brought about by the Internet, the possibility of using this weapon has become more and more great, and Zheru and Fangyuan, who are focused on the global market, have an increasing need to find a "good home" for their income outside the United States.
After the richest man went around the UK, he went to Ireland next to him "happily" in the eyes of the outside world.
As a result, this small country, which has been struggling to develop its high-tech industry, has been greeted with hospitality from President Mary Robinson, President ~ President Albert Reynolds to local officials in Dublin.
Soon after Tang Huan pointed out the country in Ireland, completed the inspection, and left with a bunch of cooperation agreements, some financial industry observers pointed out that Fangyuan Computer Company's cash deposits in Irish banks reached 10 billion US dollars, which attracted all kinds of discussions, full of admiration for the world's most valuable company.
……
After returning to the United States for a few days of rest, the richest man went to Lanai, Hawaii, on Silicon Valley One, this time for personal matters - to attend Gates's wedding.
Tang Huan deliberately brought his older son to join in the fun, and Jin Chang and Jin Ge were helping their mother start a world tour, so the task fell to Jin Ming and Jin Liang.
Unlike Jobs, Gates was born in an elite family in the United States, and his father Gates Sr. was a famous lawyer.
There are so many differences.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that Gates's wedding, like Jobs, will not have some so-called personality elements that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and it is very traditional - at the very least, it will not force the guests to eat some tasteless vegetarian food, and toss and go hungry.
If I have to sum up one thing in common, it is that Gates and Steve Jobs both married a young wife, and the bride Melinda is almost 10 years younger than him.
After the meeting, the richest man presented a set of precious Chinese antique porcelain as a gift.
Gates happily accepted it and personally arranged a place for Tang Huan to stay.
Although the wedding was private, it was not open to the media, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the actual level of excitement as a crowd of guests - Microsoft's network alone contributed a lot, and its momentum was not comparable to that of only one NeXT company's Steve Jobs.
In Tang Huan's view, the scene in front of him is more like a high-end social banquet dressed in a festive coat, which is also in line with the style of the elites.
It's just that there are almost no connections worthy of the richest man taking the initiative to go up and talk, and he himself has become the center of public relations.
In order not to steal the limelight of the host, and at the same time to calm down, Tang Huan went to the hotel's fitness room, played table tennis, and listened to his subordinates tell some interesting stories about the wedding with Jin Ming and Jin Liang from time to time.
Rao is like this, and there are still some well-intentioned people around him, who take turns to fight with Mr. the richest man on the spot and manage the relationship.
Of course, the level of confrontation is not very intense, no one really cares about winning or losing, and the interesting loss of the goal adds a lot of joyful laughter.
Just as he was having fun, Gates, dressed in a formal suit, walked over and stopped to watch with interest.
"Don, we've been here before." Gates suddenly suggested.
Tang Huan laughed, "You, the groom, should keep your strength and deal with the bride." ”
"It doesn't matter." Gates, who insists on insisting, is quite playful.
However, it is not difficult to understand the experience of this guy in the 1970s, when he was 20 years old, driving a sports car and being fined by the police for speeding; Now he is just getting older, a little more restrained, once his heart is itchy, he insists on going his own way, which also reflects the temper he has cultivated after many years of arbitrariness within Microsoft.
"Well, I hope you don't get rid of your pretty shirt." The richest man, who was a little disappreciative in his heart, nodded and agreed.
Originally, everyone, including Tang Huan, thought that this was just a casual play to help digest the high-calorie food ingested into the body.
As a result, I didn't expect Gates to be extremely serious, picked up his arms, and murderously poured a 5:0 directly on Mr. The richest man, who didn't seem to notice that his shirt was soaked with sweat.
Tang Huan, who raised his eyebrows, took the table tennis ball thrown by Jin Ming, and said playfully: "Bill, don't forget, table tennis can be regarded as a talent of my race. ”
The audience was amused by Mr. The richest man, but Gates replied with a stiff face: "I'm also good at table tennis, so I'm just going to ask for advice." ”
As you can imagine, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Tang Huan, who got serious, divided the self-righteous Gates by two and taught him a straight set.
As Gates, the owner, had a gloomy face and threw away, the other people who watched the excitement also dispersed in a hurry.
Jin Liang snorted disdainfully, "What kind of person, you can't afford to lose, so don't take the initiative to come up and play." Besides, Dad has already reminded him that he can't deliberately lose in public, so what's the matter with spreading the word? It was as if I was afraid of him. ”
Seeing that there were still some idlers left in the venue, the richest man smiled casually and said, "It's just a coincidence, it's not a big deal." Bill's sense of competition has always been strong. It is said that after his family finished eating, he had to play a game to decide who would wash the dishes. Let's try it when we get home this time. ”
Jin Liang, who reacted, made a grimace and stopped complaining.
It's just that when he got on Silicon Valley One and returned to San Francisco from Hawaii, Tang Huan finally said the truth with emotion: "Time shifts and things change, people's minds change - Gates and Microsoft will no longer bow down to me like before." ”
Jin Ming continued: "Now there is an alarmist argument in private that Fangyuan Computer Company is more powerful than IBM's monopoly on the computer industry at the beginning, and with Zheru, it is enough to control the entire IT field. Under this conflict of interests, it is normal for Gates to completely transform into an adversary. ”
Jin Liang also expressed his opinion: "Microsoft's product line has been perfected to almost all fields - in terms of operating system, in addition to launching Windows_NT server and workstation versions this year, it has also released Windows3.11_for_Workgroups on the basis of Windows 3.1; In addition, after entering the desktop database market through the acquisition of FOXBase, it is still in R&D SQL_Server and covets the enterprise database market. ”
"It can be said that if Microsoft wants to develop further, it can only increase the product share of the Fangyuan computer platform, that is, directly compete with Zheru Software for users."
"This time, Gates argued with you through the original ordinary table tennis game, which should have wanted to get rid of the subtle and weak inertia that has been formed for a long time."
"After all, all of Microsoft's products -- operating systems, spreadsheets, word processing, databases, programming tools, and so on, are not technically superior to similar software of Zheru, and can only be used to regain their disadvantages through market operation means."
"You little things who talk the truth, you must have peeked at my files." Tang Huan laughed loudly, "Actually, I already feel the sense of crisis in IBM. However, how to deal with these opponents is my job, and it can be said that it is my destiny - you should study hard and wait until you graduate from college before appearing. ”
