Holding the title of American billionaire, they have to admit on the surface that Tang Huan already exists at the same level. Fortunately, this young man is as humble and polite as ever, but he is not annoying.
In addition, some subtle changes in social occasions are also obvious. For example, celebrities no longer care about the rumors that he is entangled with female stars, and they often flirt with clever smiles.
In this regard, Tang Huanwei is afraid to avoid it.
Why does he like to search for celebrities in primitive time and space from his memory is because, like a listed company that regularly discloses information, his privacy is exposed to the public's field of vision, and his temper can be inferred from those clues, regardless of praise or blame.
As far as women are concerned, Teresa Teng, Feng-Chiao Lin, Brigitte Lin and Angie Chiu are all mature and gentle women, but they are different. Teresa Teng's persistence, Feng-Chiao Lin's persistence, Brigitte Lin's literature and art, and Angie Chiu's tradition can completely follow the general strategy, get along easily, and always take the initiative in their own hands.
It can be said that what Tang Huan needs is order. But none of these people are fuel-efficient lamps. If you get it, you will be in trouble.
……
Along the track of history. The border war between Iran and Tang Huan in the Middle East finally broke out on September 22nd, which was directly related to's personal income of tens of millions of dollars in the oil futures market.
In fact, many smart people have been fired successfully. After all, since April, the border conflict between Iran and Iraq has appeared, even on April 5. Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Aziz was wounded by an Iranian. The various military actions of both sides have long been an open secret. It is not difficult for you to perceive opportunities. The difference between the two is nothing more than the amount and strategy of betting.
Putting down the newspaper, Tang Huan played a joke on himself. I can do it with dignity and only receive a nominal salary of one dollar from the company.
Seeing that all the public relations activities that Xiangjiang wants to attend have been processed, Tang Huan arrived in Singapore on the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 23rd to have a reunion dinner with his aunt and Feng-Chiao Lin. Then began to inspect the factory.
The second generation Fiona Fang computer has adopted many new designs, such as memory chips and memory chips.
Now other types of personal computers. The memory stick is directly welded on the motherboard, which makes it more troublesome for users to upgrade. However, the second-generation Fiona Fang computer can solve this problem through the combination of memory stick and memory stick.
But at the same time, it also increases the requirements for the interface circuit manufacturing process, which can be said that it will affect the whole body. Tang Huan had to go to the scene to know the situation in person.
Of course, he is also actively considering authorizing technical specifications, attracting third-party suppliers, and shifting all kinds of unnecessary costs downstream. At the same time, he can build a larger industrial cluster and unite a group of new allies with related interests.
……
In Bao Dao, the workflow is the same, but the content of inspection is the more important motherboard.
Unlike when I was in Singapore, the attention mainly came from the government. American billionaire Tang Huan's influence in Bao Dao has been reflected in the industry. After more than ten years of time and space, the IT tycoons immediately gathered together, not only expressing their admiration, but also receiving orders for the peripheral parts of the second-generation Fiona Fang computers.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there is a headache in Tang Huan's factory, it is not necessarily him who is worried at first.
While handing out candy to his subordinates, Tang launched a large-scale bidding activity for memory procurement in the second half of the year. Compared with the last time, the purchase amount doubled, reaching1.200 million US dollars, and six major Japanese semiconductors swarmed in.
In this regard, Bao Dao's colleagues can only wait and see, but they can't start. In desperation, they began to join hands to ask the government for various semiconductor industry development support, which made officials fidgety.
Tang Huan ignored the stimulus of this big order to Bao Dao, and seriously received Japanese bidders represented by six major semiconductor manufacturers. Compared with the last time, these guys are obviously much more honest, and they don't care about the offensive and defensive alliance. They just hope to get a slice of tens of millions.
The Japanese are very good at quality and cost control. In their previous lives, when they competed with their American counterparts such as Intel, they dared to directly and openly clamor for a 10% discount forever.
The four companies that won the bid last time, Sharp, AMD, Hitachi and Fujitsu, are the most active, but their production capacity is limited after all, and Sharp and AMD have to undertake the chip production tasks of CPU and second-generation Fiona Fang computer South Bridge, North Bridge, graphics card core and sound card core, so they will inevitably choose from NEC, Toshiba, Panasonic and Mitsubishi.
……
Tang Huanxian asked these guys for details of the bidding and intrigued with each other. When he returned to Bao Dao, he turned his attention to the situation in Teresa Teng.
Treasure Island, abandoned by the United States last year, was gloomy and bleak, so Teresa Teng, who was accused of betrayal because of the fake passport incident, became a punching bag.
However, the world can be very funny sometimes. With the popularity of Teresa Teng's songs in mainland China, Bao Dao had to try every means to win her back to her own camp.
A song "Shanghai Beach" caused a sensation in Xiangjiang, and a song "A Little Dream" was successfully tested in Japan. Especially, seven concerts in North America and Europe were sold out, which made Teresa Teng's music career recover strongly and its reputation in the world Chinese circle rose sharply.
This drastic change in the situation has made Bao Dao's attitude towards Teresa Teng more and more firm since she got off the plane. Has been concerned by the media.
According to Tang Huan's idea. Teresa Teng returned to Bao Dao directly by his Silicon Valley No.1, but she didn't agree, so she arranged her trip in a low-key way and only accepted an interview with a TV station at the airport. After that, all public affairs were handled by two foreign girl assistants with blond hair and blue eyes, and a language barrier blocked most unnecessary social intercourse.
Teresa Teng's last public appearance was at a ceremony in which Bao Dao donated NT$ 2 million for girls' education.
This aloof and generous attitude, which is keen on public welfare, forced some operations that could not get on the table to stop. For example, in the face of the public, all kinds of oaths of allegiance.
However, next month's concert, similar links are inevitable. Tang Huan asked the people who trusted him to take a message, so that Teresa Teng didn't have to worry too much, as long as he didn't wronged himself. You have a 0/0% stake in Zheru/kloc, and you can't go back to America to continue to be a rich sister.
After reading these mainstream media reports on Teresa Teng's strong return to music, Tang Huan threw the newspaper on the coffee table, and his mouth became warped. Show a faint mocking smile.
At this time, the hotel front desk called to report. Gu Long visited.
Because Feng-Chiao Lin went to Singapore to have a baby to avoid the media, Tang Huan simply stayed at the Grand Hotel. Anyway, he has no secrets in Bao Dao, but it's wonderful to stay in this top hotel with deep official background.
Soon, under the guidance of the waiter, Gu Long and Longsheng Wo walked into the guest room.
"Datang, I'm worried that after you become a billionaire in the United States, your status is different, and you may not attach importance to our friends. Now it seems that you are worried. " Gu Long said with a careless smile.
"Identity is just a gimmick, but it is true that I am busy. If I hadn't caught up with a time gap, you really thought I was too arrogant to recognize my old friends. " Tang greeted Gu Long and Longsheng Wo with a smile and immediately told the waiter, "Bring some bottles of XO and some snacks."
Gu Longwen was overjoyed. "You are friends after all, and you know my heart."
"If you have something to say, don't forget it after drinking too much for a while." Tang Huan jokingly replied.
Gu Long scratched his head and smiled. "Jin Yong's" Tianlong Babu "has been made into a video game. Why haven't I read anything about my martial arts novels? I feel a little embarrassed when everyone is talking about it. "
As the saying goes, literature has no first place, martial arts has no second place, and literary heroes are inevitable.
Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help laughing. "Who said nothing happened? It's already under development. My boys need a process of exercise and quality assurance. The progress can't be as simple as you think. The game "Eight Dragons" came out first because Jin Yong and I reached an agreement early. "
"It turned out to be such a thing." Gu Long smiled happily.
After getting this satisfactory answer, Gu Long, a heavy drinker, opened XO and drank heavily. During this period, he mainly talked about some trivial matters in Bao Dao, and finally left drunk.
Looking at the wobbly figure of Gu Long and Longsheng Wo, Tang Huan shook his head and sighed. Just mentioned the 17 Golden Horse Award, which will be announced in more than a month. Feng-Chiao Lin has high hopes for "local villagers". For political reasons, she didn't even get the nomination. I hope she's not too depressed.
……
Needless to say, the Japanese work efficiency, and soon the second round of contact began.
Tang Huan's only requirement is to reduce the procurement cost of memory on the premise of ensuring quality, and the semiconductor industry is characterized by a larger scale.
As a result, NEC and Toshiba, which ranked first, beat Panasonic and Mitsubishi, and won the favor of Tang Huan, each taking the share of orders of $25 million, and the rest were divided up by former partners Sharp, AMD, Hitachi and Fujitsu.
Limited by the production technology level of CPU, its highest running frequency is about 20MHz of the whole 1980, and it will wait until the middle and late stage, so the simplest and rude way to improve the performance of personal computers at present is large-capacity memory.
Executives of many high-tech companies in the United States also habitually think that the price of memory is extremely expensive, and they don't realize that the Japanese semiconductor industry on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is gearing up for an attack.
Tang Huan knows all the details, and uses them to meet the huge memory demand of his products. And his two centralized purchases in Asia. It also sent a signal invisibly. The current trend of the semiconductor industry is very obvious, that is, memory is king, which has stimulated the Japanese to expand their production capacity crazily.
It can be predicted that the upcoming semiconductor war between Japan and the United States will be even more tragic, and Tang Huan is optimistic about it. Anyway, he only has EEPROM investment in this field.
After the acquisition was confirmed, all the losers, including Panasonic and Mitsubishi, were not in a hurry to go home because almost all Japanese companies had other purposes. In other words, I hope to be authorized to produce Fiona Fang compatible machines. That's why I tested Tang Huan's tone after completing the task.
Japan's official purchase of 5,000 Japanese computers can kill two birds with one stone, which not only expresses a positive reconciliation gesture in the trade friction between Fiona Fang and the United States caused by the trade deficit, but also meets the demand of domestic education system for informationization, and also invisibly guides the industrial direction.
As Tang Huan knows, many Japanese companies have started to crack Fiona Fang computers and tried to imitate them, but so far, we haven't seen who jumped out first.
It is not the limitation of patent threshold. Because we can avoid the problem of infringement by developing another proprietary hardware architecture, but if we do this. It is difficult to achieve the goal of 100% compatibility in software.
Japanese Hanka on Fiona Fang computer platform, as well as three key application softwares: spreadsheet CGrid, word processing software WordEasy and database EBase, are powerful. Needless to say, in order to enhance efficiency and prevent piracy, some core codes are also put in read-only memory, and the software and hardware are coordinated one by one, which makes many reverse engineering companies give up halfway.
Everyone wants fakes, just because they have taken a fancy to the big cake of personal computers and want a piece of it. However, if the developed product is still not as good as the original product, or if all aspects are close but it takes too much time, it will not be worth the candle.
It's not that the Japanese are not smart enough, but that they find it is the most cost-effective to get the authorization honestly after comprehensive weighing, but they just don't know what the boss of Fiona Fang Computer thinks and whether he is willing to share some benefits.
Tang Huan almost laughed when I understood the meaning of these guys' words. Does this help me to implement a unified industry standard together?
In fact, Tang Huan has begun to consider authorizing Bao Dao Acer to produce a compatible computer for a generation of Fiona Fang computers, so as to further expand the market share of this hardware platform. I didn't expect these Japanese companies to make a fortune, but I can think about it.
Compared with hardware, the profit margin of software is undoubtedly greater. If Fiona Fang computer, which has become a low-grade product, is authorized to a third party to produce compatible computers, it will devour the original hardware sales, but it will gain more software profits.
Moreover, among these Japanese manufacturers, NEC itself has the ability to independently launch personal computers, but at present it lacks the support of three major commercial software.
In the initial time and space, IBM eliminated other kinds of personal computers by making the IBM-PC standard public, leaving only struggling Apple computers, thus making personal computers and IBM-PC synonymous, which can be described as extremely ruthless.
As for IBM-PC being defeated by its own compatible computer, it is not that the open standard is wrong, but that the PC department that was originally operated independently was greedily incorporated into its traditional management system by IBM, and the idea of selling mainframes was extended to personal computers, which destroyed its foundation.
Tang Huan had already realized this. He hesitated for a moment and gave a vague answer. "It's good to have more partners, but there are still some details to consider."
Hearing this reply, the representatives of various companies were overjoyed. Naturally, they don't have the vision of implementing standards in Tang Huan. They just intuitively think that it is very difficult to share the guaranteed benefits. As a result, they didn't expect each other to have such a clear intention of cooperation.
After everyone looked at each other, they all said, "We really need to consider the details. Mr. Tang might as well go to Japan and discuss with each other on the spot. "
"Yes, my next stop is to visit Japanese companies." Tang Huan nodded in agreement. Next, he will go there to deal with many affairs.
……
Epson's 9-pin printer MX-80 was going crazy, but before its market value was completely drained, Tang Huan urged the R&D team to take out the 16-pin printer. In less than a year, the next generation of products would be upgraded, and the project team members were exhausted to death.
This is not to say that Tang Huan is unfriendly to these Japanese. It's just that MX-80 can print out the output effect of 16x 16 lattice, but the nine stitches need to be typed back and forth twice at odd and even points, which hinders the speed of printing a manuscript and really affects the efficiency.
Now we have developed a 16-pin printer, which theoretically improves the efficiency by half.
Seeing Tang Huan's satisfaction, An Chuan Zhao Ying couldn't help worrying. "There is no need to upgrade the printer from 9 pins to 16 pins. At present, the market share of MX-80 in Japan has almost reached 60%, and the prospect is infinite. It's a pity to be replaced so soon. "
"Then use price strategy to distinguish between mid-range and high-end," Tang Huanwei replied with a smile. The second generation Fiona Fang computer equipped with 16 pin printer is invincible in the office.
However, after Tang Huan came to Taitung's office, he accepted the imitation of Game &; When WATCH developed the handheld game console, this good mood disappeared. He actually saw Nintendo's boss Hiroshi Yamauchi and senior engineer Junping Yokoi, talking and laughing with Shigeru Miyamoto who returned to Japan not long ago.
