Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 218 The Direction of World Brands

If you think that Tang Huan only occupied such a small space in the newspaper, you would be underestimating the media's ability to fuel the flames.
Following yesterday's photo report, the British "Sun" placed a photo of Tang Huan and Nelligin talking and laughing together in a prominent position, next to a photo of Comaneci looking lonely after missing the women's gymnastics individual all-around gold medal.This is the highest state of arranging lace news, which can be described as rich in pictures and texts.

Moreover, he is very professional, and has figured out Tang Huan's background: the boss of a company in Silicon Valley, the designer of the Xiaobawang game console that is popular in Europe, and has close contacts with a super rich woman in the world.

For further detailed reports, please see the same page tomorrow.

Let me rub it, and I have a foretelling of what will happen next, and let's listen to the breakdown below.Tang Huan had already guessed that "The Sun" would definitely make fun of him and Christina tomorrow.

Murdoch is awesome. He has the most thorough understanding of industry rules. As long as he pleases readers and gains a monopoly on public opinion, he is not afraid of other troubles.

But no matter how these newspapers that entertain to death jump up and down, in the Soviet Union, they are limited to foreign-related hotels and other places. If they want to disrupt the reports of the Moscow Olympics by the way, it is probably not far away.

After Tang Huan finished breakfast, he was noisily blocked by reporters as soon as he walked out of the hotel.

This is not surprising. After Tang Huan attended the banquet last night, he walked through a special passage to avoid the media's gaze. He let their questions stay in his stomach for the whole night, and he was naturally itchy.

Due to yesterday's accurate prediction of Heimadavydova, Tang Huan has now become a star audience, and even the mainstream media of the Soviet Union appeared. The polar bear, who is very deep, noisy, and disturbed, wants to find an influential third-party commentator to justify his name.

"Good morning everyone, have you had breakfast?" Tang Huan greeted the uncrowned kings in front of him gently.

After these reporters snorted a few times, they directly asked him to predict the results of today's individual women's gymnastics event, as if they could compare and discover whether there was any shady scene in this Olympic Games.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, whoever has the information of the contestants, let me just talk about it." Tang Huan can be said to be doing his part.

As soon as the words were spoken, a sports reporter from the Soviet Union handed over a few forms, and it seemed that they were already prepared.

Tang Huan flipped through it pretendingly, and then said: "According to the performance of the women's team and women's individual all-around, Natalia Shaposhnikova got full marks in the vault, and she should be the gold medal in the vault. For the same reason, Max Signauk and Nadia Comaneci may have the last laugh on the uneven bars and balance beam respectively. As for the floor exercise, it will be the last time in their careers Nelligin and Nadia Comaneci, who are participating in the Olympics, I am sure that both of them will give the best performance together."

Seeing that everyone listened carefully and remembered carefully, Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, "Don't rely on this to bet, you won't be responsible for whether you win or lose."

These words made everyone smile knowingly. One reporter was eager to gossip and asked curiously: "Today, the women's gymnastics competition is over, and the activity of giving roses will also come to an end, right?"

After complimenting the other party for the good question in his heart, Tang Huan didn't answer the question directly, "There is no feast that never ends. To commemorate the wonderful performance of the athletes, I will set up a dinner tomorrow to entertain them who have worked hard and give prizes at the same time. "

"What prize?" This person's eyes lighted up. Tang Huan made such a generous offer. It is estimated that this prize will not be easy.

"Temporary secrecy." Tang Huan waved his hand, turned and got into the car.

During today's technical speech, the students also became interested in Tang Huan's ability to predict Heimadavydova so accurately. He snapped his fingers and replied calmly, "This is actually based on data and a certain algorithm. , the obtained results can be realized through the program of personal computer.”

Next, Tang Huan took advantage of the opportunity to use mathematical concepts such as binary trees, etc., and expanded from the coding link to talk about software engineering.

In the 1960s, after the success of IBM's mainframe System/360, many countries copied it. For example, the products in the Soviet Union were ES EVM series computers.

However, the development process of IBM System/360 can be said to be the biggest gamble in the history of computer development. The billions of dollars that Watson spent at that time is no longer the focus. How the tens of thousands of engineers it mobilized to work together is an unprecedented problem in the industry. Problems people have encountered.

Project manager Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., that is, Frederick Brooks, based on the development experience of this project, wrote a classic book called "The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering" or "Man-Month Myth: The Way of Software Project Management", which is used to describe a milestone in the history of human engineering and the development experience of large and complex software systems, and was first published in 1975.

Those copycats may not be able to comprehend the essence of this.

Now the importance of project management and software engineering has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the concept of Capability Maturity Model——CMM, the capability maturity model, has not yet appeared. Various developments, including the field of personal computers, are mostly individuals working alone heroism.

You must know that several people jointly develop a program, and dozens or even hundreds of people assist in the development. The working mode is not a concept, and the former can only be regarded as a small workshop.

Under the guidance of Tang Huan, Zheru has long been familiar with the operation of the development department. Simeone’s Hungarian coding standards have appeared in advance. These are also mature and reliable software products, especially when they become more and more complex. The database EBase, the key to continuous success.

So when Tang Huan talked about this topic, he was not generally convincing. When he saw that the time was almost up and he was about to leave to watch the game, the audience in the audience who were eye-opening, let alone the reluctance, kept talking. Crowd ahead to get the tech icon's autograph.

……

After Tang Huan sat down in the seat of the Lenin Central Stadium, the camera specially gave him a shot. Tang Huan smiled and waved, showing the demeanor of a star audience.

Tang Huan still doesn't know that his prediction this morning has already appeared on TV and radio, and under various intentional or unintentional hints, the message audience has similar thoughts. The results of the competition are always questionable, so today Just compare it with the prediction of the third party to see if there is any shady story in the legend.

Without the interference of unexpected factors, history will naturally follow the original track, and Tang Daxian is destined to hit every shot.

Natalia Shaposhnikova won gold on the vault, Max Signauk on the uneven bars and Nadia Comaneci on the balance beam.

And I don't know why these three athletes broke out, and they scored 10 points one after another. The TV station broadcasting it at that time was incoherent. How could it be possible to predict so accurately? Are these referees flattering?
In the women's individual floor exercise competition, Nadia Comaneci, who came in second, scored 9.900 points, and Nie, who came in fifth, scored 9.950 points. Li Jin, who scored [-] points at once, was at the top of the list.

Then a magical scene happened. Nadia Comaneci's score of 9.900 turned into 9.950, and she was tied for first place with Nelikin.

Is there something shady here, or is there something shady?
When all the games were over, the reporters did not flock to the athletes, but surrounded Tang Huan, making him tell the secret of such accurate predictions.

Facing the broadcast camera, Tang Huan replied seriously; "Of course I'm not so smart. It was my Fangyuan computer that told me after careful calculation."

Before the reporters could figure out what was going on, Tang Huan answered the question repeatedly in more than a dozen languages, including Mandarin, Japanese, French, and German, after English, and finally shrugged his shoulders innocently and asked, "You understand."

To hell with it, we don't get it, but the TV station does, damn it, give this guy a free ad, at least all over Europe.

Tang Huan waved his hand and left without leaving a cloud. The helpless reporters had no choice but to follow the usual procedures to interview the athletes, asking them how they felt about their performance today.

Everyone seemed to be in a happy mood, and a little girl said without holding back: "Everything is fine, now I am looking forward to Tang Huan's big meal and prizes tomorrow."

"What prize?" Suddenly a breakthrough was discovered, and the reporter quickly asked.

"I heard it is a pure gold rose brooch, and the medal winners are gold medals of different sizes." The other party replied casually.

There are so many tricks for rich people. The reporters who heard the news couldn't help but envy the good luck of the athletes in front of them, but they also gradually understood that Tang Huan seemed to be doing marketing and advertising by making such a fuss. .

Even if they see through, so what, they still have to hand over this news as a hot topic.

When the time came to the next afternoon, Tang Huan's hype reached its peak.

Zheng Yutong, the owner of Xiangjiang Chow Tai Fook Jewelery, brought his eldest son Zheng Jiachun, starry night and thousands of miles away to deliver Tang Huan's custom-made gold jewelry.

It took only a week to complete this order, and one can imagine the hard work involved. Zheng Yutong really worked his ass off for this opportunity to show his face right now.He also specially brought reporters, intending to record this grand event and take it back to Xiangjiang for advertisement.

Tang Huan, like Zheng Jiachun and the rich second generations of Xiangjiang, has known each other for a long time, but not as familiar as Mr. Huo, but Zheng Yutong met for the first time.

After settling the two men, Tang Huan welcomed the biggest guest of the banquet, Samaranch, and announced the official start of the event.

Both the rose brooch and the gold medal have Zheru's logo. The pattern on the gold medal has evolved from Zheru's simple bird logo into a lifelike phoenix, which is of great artistic value.

Tang Huan was very satisfied with the workmanship and quality of these accessories. Needless to say, those athletes who were busy training all day could only be described as elated.

Looking at the smiling faces of these young girls, Tang Huan couldn't help but mutter in his heart, some of you might be asked to hand in your handover after returning to China, so hurry up and be happy for a while.

However, if I made such a big noise this time, then at the next Olympic Games, my brother's ass will sit on the side of my compatriots, and no one will be able to babble.

The entire prize distribution process is very simple. The rose brooches are signed by the athletes themselves, and the gold medals are presented by IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch and Tang Huan together.

Samaranch, who had never known Tang Huan, was also weird, and deliberately left Nadia Comaneci and Neligin to him.

No matter how much the western media play up the gossip, at least until now, brother is innocent.

After Tang Huan muttered something in his heart, he laughed frankly, asked for a hug from Nadia Comanech and Nelligin respectively, and then presented the largest gold medal and put his business card on it , said sincerely: "If you find that the gold medal has quality problems, you can call the above phone number and ask for a replacement."

This episode added a lot of joy to the banquet.

After the feast that the athletes were looking forward to began, Tang Huan raised his glass to thank Samaranch for taking time out of his busy schedule to support him.

Samaranch nodded with a smile, "Don, you advertised your product in more than ten languages ​​through the broadcast yesterday, which shocked the whole world, and the media talked about how you took advantage of it."

"It's just a small step in the direction of a world brand by opportunism. It's hard to be elegant." Tang Huan smiled calmly.

"You can see it." Samaranch glanced around. "The global partnership plan should have an outline soon. Maybe you will choose to try it out first. You have to know it in your heart."

"That's natural. Don't worry, we will follow the formal procedures. I am willing to pay several million dollars for this license fee." The 1988 Seoul Olympics began to go to the world. This routine can’t go wrong, so it’s natural to copy it.

After chatting for a while, Samaranch got up and left. A busy person like him naturally couldn't stay here forever.

Tang Huan glanced at Nadia Comaneci, no matter whether the rumor about the relationship between the other party and the rich and powerful in Romania is true or not, it is better to keep a distance at the moment.

So he changed the chatting partner to Nelligin, and the other party also assisted in the related activities of this banquet, and thanking him is also the meaning of the question.

"From now on, you should be officially retired." Tang Huan asked casually.

"Yes." Neelkin nodded, with a hint of melancholy on his face.

"After the Olympics, have you made any official arrangements for your work and life?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, Tang Huan stretched out his hand and wrenched his fingers and continued: "Let me make a guess. You have to return to Belarus immediately to accept the national award. Get a bunch of medals, go to university, get an administrative job at an official sports body."

"What did you do to us..." Nelikin had a very surprised look on his face, and for a moment he didn't know what words to use to describe it.

"Is it an accident that I know the rules and regulations of your country very well?" Tang Huan laughed, "It seems that this procedure is quite universal."

Neelkin thought for a while, then nodded with deep approval, "It seems to be true. However, what you just said is just the best situation. Maybe I will become an ordinary housewife."

"How is it possible, you are too humble, you are a meritorious athlete." Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, "Don't forget, you are a sports star, no matter what type of star, there is the accompanying influence , will naturally have some value in the eyes of politicians and businessmen."

"I suddenly feel very confident, and it seems that the future is not so confused." Neelkin smiled.

"Actually, you are not the type of athlete who is astonishingly talented." Seeing that Nelligin nodded calmly, Tang Huan smiled appreciatively, and continued, "So, your successful experience is more universal and easier to promote And those future administrative positions will obviously waste your talents. You should engage in counterpart work in your field, and not limited to the framework of Belarus or even the Soviet Union, and go to international positions, such as national team coaches, or FIG referees. "

"What you said is too far away, I haven't thought about it." Nelikin lowered his head in embarrassment.

Tang Huan, who likes to paint big cakes for others, saw that Nelikin was a little depressed, so he changed the topic and said: "My company plans to set up an office in Moscow and needs a well-known person to take care of local public relations affairs. I am more inclined to hire you for this position."

"I'm not qualified for this job." Neelgin hastily declined.

"Actually, it's just using your celebrity effect to advertise Fangyuan Computer in the Soviet Union. The main reason is that your rules here are different. I guess the way of advertising spokespersons won't work. That's why you turned such a corner. It's not what you imagined. It's so difficult." Tang Huan explained patiently.

"This can be used as a part-time job. You can still have time to go to college. I can help you arrange it. Some things can be easily solved with money." Tang Huan made a gesture, "The prestigious university here in Moscow is rich in gold." It goes without saying that no matter what the end result of that part-time job is, at least if you finish university, your career development will have a different prospect. After all, this is Moscow, the center of the entire Soviet Union, which cannot be compared with Minsk, Belarus. "

Nelikin sighed, with a distressed look on his face, "I need time to prepare. Everyone here has organizational connections, and the flow of personnel cannot be so random."

"No problem." Tang Huan snapped his fingers, "You handle it slowly, I will implement some things in advance, just put my heart in my stomach, I will not break my promise and get fat. Besides, if there is no such thing as Moscow At the same time, my company can still be regarded as a multinational company and a world enterprise."
