Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 229
"So what, it's up to you." Lin Qingxia snorted coldly.

"I don't care, I just care about you." Tang Huan put his hand on Lin Qingxia's shoulder disapprovingly.

"Can you let me stay here alone?" Looking at Tang Huan's hand, Lin Qingxia's tone softened a bit.

"What do you think?" Tang Huan smiled gently.

Lin Qingxia, whose inner demon still exists, asked stubbornly, "In your heart, do I have a body that is passable, but in fact I am ridiculously childish and clumsy?"

"You're just cute and stubborn. Let me help you get through this level, so you won't be so sentimental and needlessly entangled like in Qiong Yao's novel." Tang Huan smiled wickedly, his eyes brightened even more.

……

Lin Qingxia, who is 26 years old this year, has already matured physically and mentally. A thought suddenly flashed in her heart. Not only could she not continue her image as a girl in literary films in her career, but her whole life had also changed. She was a real woman, and the premonition of the danger of this trip was verified.

Because of the emptiness and confusion caused by the departure of the jade girl and the farewell to the past, all the defenses Lin Qingxia had set up for herself were completely shattered, and there was no room for other thoughts in her mind, let alone the ones she had fought before. That phone is gone.

……

After waking up the next day, Lin Qingxia not only had complicated thoughts, but also burst into tears unconsciously. She quickly turned around and began to recall the details of the years since she entered the entertainment industry.

I don’t know if it’s because of the intimate relationship, but most of the images that impressed Lin Qingxia the most were the time spent with Tang Huan in the past year. As for that person, he has become a simple person related to first love. Label.

Suddenly feeling a damp heat on her face, Lin Qingxia opened her eyes and saw a smiling Tang Huan.

"You are a puppy." Lin Qingxia coquettishly slapped this confident man who seemed to have everything under control.

"The puppy is so understanding, is there any reward?" Tang Huan joked.

"Do you want a bone?" Lin Qingxia smiled and pinched Tang Huan's nose.

"No, I want to eat steamed buns." Tang Huan stuck out his tongue.

"Bad guy." Lin Qingxia pinched this rascal and domineering man with a blushing face, and asked in a whisper, "Answer me honestly, when we met for the first time in Hawaii last year, what were you thinking? of?"

"At that time, I had only one thought, even if I tried my best, I would let this beautiful woman stay away from the disturbances of the world, and never worry about it again." Tang Huan poured down the ecstasy soup vigorously.

This confession without much technical content immediately made Lin Qingxia confused.

……

"Wall Street Journal, when will you arrive?" Lin Qingxia gently buttoned Tang Huan's shirt cuffs.

"Ten o'clock." Tang Huan stood tall and admired Lin Qingxia's busy figure in the mirror.

"You can wear a tie yourself, I don't know how to do it." Lin Qingxia fiddled with the tie for a long time, and finally gave up, covering her mouth, giggling in embarrassment.

"You can learn slowly." Tang Huan smiled playfully and murmured in his heart, Deng Lijun and Lin Fengjiao have both learned this lesson, and you can't escape either.

"I'm stupid, I can't learn." Lin Qingxia waved her hands repeatedly.

"Then let me set an example for you." Tang Huan pushed Lin Qingxia to sit in front of the dressing table, picked up the comb, and pulled Lin Qingxia's hair.

"Can you do it? At least you have to match my face shape." Lin Qingxia's tone showed obvious distrust.

"Don't worry, baby-faced, oval-shaped, oval-shaped, it doesn't matter." Tang Huan laughed confidently.

"You bad guy." Lin Qingxia grabbed Tang Huan's hand and took a bite.

……

After the "Wall Street Journal" people arrived, Tang Huan was slightly taken aback. With his sharp eyes, he immediately noticed that the other party seemed to be divided into two factions. What's the situation?
As a new billionaire, Tang Huan naturally didn't need to be petty and hide it, so he frankly expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Don, your powers of observation are astonishing." A man in his early forties offered his hand, "Let me introduce myself, Robert Bartley, the editor-in-chief of the Wall Street Journal."

It turned out that it was the news section of the Wall Street Journal that made an appointment with Tang Huan for the interview, and it and the editorial section were two separate departments.

But because in just one day, many people couldn't wait to express their views on the myth of wealth created by Apple's listing to the editorial page of the "Wall Street Journal", and Tang Huan was the most eye-catching among the four billionaires, so The editorial board pushed in.For this reason, the people on the news page were a little unhappy.

"Mr. Robert Bartley, hello, it's really surprising that you can come here." Tang Huan began to be imperceptibly cautious while shaking hands with the other party.

You must know that Robert Bartley is not a simple person. He is the promoter of the birth of the supply-side school of economics. As early as the 1970s, he met Robert Alexander Mundell, the founder of the supply-side school-Robert Alexander Mundell, The latter won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1999 in the original time and space, and was even known as the "Father of the Euro".

In the 1970s, Robert Mundell was still an unknown person, but he had extraordinary insights.In his view, "the only economy is the world economy." When the United States imposes economic sanctions or sets up trade barriers on other countries, it will eventually punish itself.

Due to the prevalence of Keynesianism for many years, emphasizing that competition is everything, Robert Mundell's thought can be said to be a kind of heresy, but Robert Bartley has actively accepted it.

At this stage, a major problem in the US economy is inflation.

The mainstream view is that inflation is just an increase in prices. When prices are adjusted, inflation will disappear like a nightmare.

However, Robert Bartley and the supply-side economists proposed that inflation is caused by the money supply, which means that measures such as lowering tax rates and encouraging production must be used to curb inflation.

In the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, Robert Bartley frequently pushes these theories.

Some critics and scholars embraced the idea, while many others were skeptical.They believed that Robert Bartley had fallen into the trap of old free-market theory, and that the solutions proposed in the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal were not only dangerous but destructive.

As a result, after Ronald Reagan came to power in 1981, he formulated an economic recovery plan based on supply-side theory, and since 1983, the US economy has recovered moderately. And the hero of the revival of the party.

In Tang Huan's view, the supply-side approach can be roughly summed up as tax cuts, stimulating demand, and stimulating consumption.

During the Reagan administration, the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States was obviously widening, but both the upper class and the lower class got enough benefits to shut up, so it became a classic case.

But don’t forget that the United States is a superpower. It can play whatever it wants, such as asking Japan to sign the Plaza Accord to increase the value of the yen. If you really think that the United States can rely on simple panaceas to slow down, then It's a bit biased.

In any case, Robert Bartley promoted the views of the supply school on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, and they were indeed adopted by Reagan. It can be said to have changed an era and made the media's aura even greater.

But on the other hand, Robert Bartley's pen is also extremely lethal.

In 1979, Robert Bartley wrote an editorial titled "Chappaquiddick Island and Credibility," which questioned the morality of Edward Kennedy, who was preparing to run for president, thus influencing the candidate from Massachusetts. Congressman's chance to become the second Kennedy in the White House.

In 1984, Robert Bartley edited and published an editorial, pointing out that the company of the deputy leader of the Democratic Party, Geraldine Ferraro, might be connected with a crime. It was rumored that the news editor of the Wall Street Journal had refused to publish the news.

In 1988, Robert Bartley's editorial accused Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis of not releasing his medical records because his entire family may have a history of schizophrenia.

When Clinton came to power, Robert Bartley exposed him to the spotlight again, sharply criticizing the Whitewater Development Company case, the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, and Clinton bringing many old Arkansas ministries into the White House.

Robert Bartley's verbal criticism, the most well-known one to the public, was his attack on Vincent Foster, the White House's deputy lawyer and partner in the law firm set up by Hillary Clinton.

June 1993, from "Who Is Vincent Foster?" , Robert Bartley questioned Vincent Foster's role in the White House.

A month later, Vincent Foster, who was overwhelmed by public opinion, committed suicide. A note in his briefcase read: "The editor of the Wall Street Journal lied without conscience."

It is no exaggeration to say that Robert Bartley, the bitter leader of the Democratic Party, has a greater political influence than his news influence.

For such a ruthless character whose bite would last a lifetime, Tang Huan had to be extremely careful.

As for the sharp distinction between the news page and the editorial page of the "Wall Street Journal" in front of you, it is because Robert Bartley often makes the views of the editorial page and the news page contradictory.

However, Bartley, who had a free ride, also knew how to advance and retreat. He asked his colleagues from the news page to interview first, while he listened quietly from the sidelines.

Because the potential of Tang Huan's two companies in the United States, Zheru America and EA, is not inferior to that of Apple, they have become a hot topic pursued by the "Wall Street Journal" news page.

Regarding the issue of listing, Tang Huan did not shy away from it, saying that he is looking for opportunities for EA, but obviously the foundation is still shallow at present, so we need to wait patiently.

Compared with the news page colleagues' purpose of disclosing Tang Huan's wealth, Bartley's topic was slightly off-topic. He discussed the emerging trend surrounding personal computers based on Tang Huan's article published some time ago about what personal computers can do. How much market demand will be generated by the industry, how many types of new careers and employment opportunities will be provided, etc.

As expected of an advocator of the supply school, the topics involved are so layered. It is estimated that he came here for this fledgling field, with such an accurate professional sense.

As long as personal privacy is not involved, Tang Huan doesn't mind talking about everything. He raised his legs and talked about tens of thousands of financial calculations on Wall Street from the spreadsheet software CGrid to the word processing software WordEasy to many writers like Bartley. Speaking of the impact of the database EBase on traditional industries, he even predicted the possible challenges to the traditional economic order from online electronic banking after the current network is further improved.

Bartley listened quietly. As for the others, they all looked up, with a look of admiration in their eyes.

"It can be seen, Tang, that you are an entrepreneur with high fighting spirit, a salesman with outstanding eloquence, and an engineer with meticulous thinking. You are really amazing." Bartley put away the pen and paper, and praised sincerely.

After taking a few more photos, Tang Huan smiled and shook hands with Bartley and others and said goodbye, "If it is convenient, you are welcome to visit Zheru and experience the rise of an emerging industry up close."

……

"Since the interview is over, can we go back to San Francisco?" The lazy Lin Qingxia asked while leaning against the door.

"Don't worry, I still have to inspect the branch here." Tang Huan shook his head with a smile.

"Really?" Lin Qingxia asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's a lie." Tang Huan laughed, "I want to accompany you here to play carefree all day."

"There is not a word of truth in his mouth." Lin Qingxia, who was a little embarrassed by the teasing, raised his fist and hit Tang Huan several times.

Tang Huan took Lin Qingxia's hand and sat down together, picked up a travel brochure and shook it, "Let's pick out a few tourist attractions."

Lin Qingxia nodded obediently, pointed at the Empire State Building and said, "Let's go here first."

The top floor of the Empire State Building has always been the location for many film and television productions, including famous classic movies such as "King Kong" and "Sleepless in Seattle".

However, "Sleepless in Seattle" has not been filmed yet. As for the most recent "King Kong", it was the 1976 version, and the gorilla climbed up the World Trade Center, so there are only the 1933 version of "King Kong" and "Jade". Movies such as "Alliance" can be used as talking points.

In fact, Tang Huan took Lin Qingxia out for a trip mainly for shopping.

After all, this world is bound to be secular. A celebrity like Lin Qingxia must pay attention to face. Naturally, Tang Huan will not wrong his woman.

What's more, relying on Boss Tang's financial resources, he won't lose his character and deceive himself by saying, "The person who loves you is not willing to spend money for you, but willing to spend time with you." Just browse through the various luxury stores on Fifth Avenue.

So, when the two returned to San Francisco and Tang Huan sent Lin Qingxia home, the other party had an extra suitcase.

Tang Huan just stood at the door, said hello to Mother Lin, and then found an excuse to sneak away. After all, he ate his daughter and felt a little guilty.

A gentleman does not deceive the darkroom. I am really ashamed that I did not do it.

In fact, Lin Qingxia was also a little timid. The Lin family's tutoring had always been very strict, otherwise she would not have gotten engaged to Qin Xianglin, who she was dating, at this time in the original time and space.

"Why did it take so long?" Mother Lin asked with concern.

"Tang Huan has an interview to deal with, and he stopped by the local tourist attractions by the way, so it was delayed for a while." Lin Qingxia quietly observed her mother's face, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no suspicion.

"I'm going to change clothes, and I'm a little tired, take a rest." Lin Qingxia took a chance and slipped into her room.

Lin Lixia, who had been watching secretly for a long time, picked up a newspaper and followed with a smile.

"Sister, it was clearly stated in the newspaper that Tang Huan really earned over [-] million US dollars at one time." Lin Lixia shook the newspaper in her hand.

"What's that? There are two more than 2 million US dollars in front. Keep a low profile and don't show off." Lin Qingxia said lightly while opening the suitcase and sorting out the items inside.

"The tone is wrong, is this trying to keep Tang Huancai from revealing himself?" The sharp-tongued Lin Lixia muttered, her eyes accidentally fell on the side of the suitcase, and she couldn't help but muttered to herself, "So What a wonderful thing, sister, are you selling yourself?"

Lin Qingxia, who is not an actor, is one of the few celebrities who has become famous in one fell swoop.

她从1974年到1979年的5年时间里，拍摄了50左右部的电影，尤其在1976年，一年就参演了不下于12部电影。

Naturally, most of these films are romantic literary films, regardless of their artistry, as far as the box office is concerned, you can tell whether it is good or bad from the invitations sent out by the producers.

Such hard work has not only enabled Lin Qingxia's film achievements to reach the first of her two career peaks, that is, the classic screen beauty image in the 1970s, but also earned a lot of money. Now the whole family can come to the United States, which shows that this economic change.

Therefore, the Lin family is living a good life, and even her sister Lin Lixia is quite knowledgeable. When she sees the dazzling array of luxury goods in the suitcase, she can tell the origins of most of them, and even if she doesn't recognize the rest, I can also make a comparison in my mind, which is why I am so surprised.

"This is for you, so you don't have to run the train with your mouth full." Lin Qingxia slapped her unrestrained sister, picked up a small gift box, and stuffed it into her hand.

"You have a conscience." Lin Lixia, who was smiling happily, was not in a hurry to see the gift and continued to explore her sister's secrets.
