Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 230 The Influence of Billionaires
……

As the saying goes, "Sake is a celebrity, money touches people's hearts." Apple, which came out of the garage, went from its establishment to its listing in only four to five years, and as a result, 300 millionaires and 4 billionaires were created in one fell swoop. , this is undoubtedly a perfect idol for those who want to work hard on their own to achieve their dreams of wealth.

This is compared to an individual. Don't forget, Apple has also been favored by venture capital, and those investors have made a lot of money accordingly.

Xerox used the condition of visiting PARC in exchange for an investment of 100 million US dollars in Apple, and obtained a return of 3000 million US dollars, a 30-fold increase in value.

The famous venture capitalist Arthur Locke invested US$5.67 in Apple. When Apple went public, the stock he held soared to US$1400 million, an increase of nearly 250 times.

As for investors such as LF Rothschild Untenberg, Towbin and BrentWood Associates, the returns are also very impressive.

In stark contrast to this is Ronald Wayne, that is, Ronald Wayne. Before Markkula joined Apple, Apple was a partner company. He, Jobs and Woz were the original founders.

Because the audacious Jobs took out a loan in the name of Apple, Ronald Wayne had a deep sense of fear.Looking at how unstable Jobs and Woz are now, you can easily imagine how unreliable they were a few years ago.

It is said that Ronald Wayne still had some private money at that time, but once the partnership company closed down, he would also go bankrupt.

So Ronald Wayne, after careful consideration, made the decision he thought was the safest - to withdraw shares, and Jobs readily agreed.

If Ronald Wayne could withstand the pressure and persevere until now, he would probably be a billionaire, but if there is no if, this has obviously become a regrettable negative teaching material.

The power of role models is infinite. It is self-evident that the success of entrepreneurs and investors in Apple has shocked Silicon Valley. Such a wonderful wealth myth attracts talents and capital, which is a matter of course.

Apple naturally wanted to celebrate its successful IPO, and Tang Huan also had fun with the people on his site, and began to give out red envelopes, but in a special way.

Because the second-generation Fangyuan computer has a built-in clock chip, it is easy to program the random number generator to generate pseudo-random numbers, so Tang Huan asked his engineers to make an electronic red envelope game and install it on the second-generation Fangyuan computer. It is placed in the entertainment area of ​​the company for employees to try their luck.

The gameplay is very simple, with a total prize pool of 20 US dollars, the smallest red envelope is 10 US dollars, and the largest red envelope is 100 US dollars. With your internal employee number, everyone has one chance every day until the distribution is complete.

It is said that several cute girls in the administrative department were very lucky and received red envelopes worth US$100 each, which attracted many otaku engineers to yearn for them, which in turn made the company's atmosphere even more lively.

It is impossible for Tang Huan to pay too much attention to how happy these people are. He asked all the projects for two days in a row, because for him, Apple has nothing to do except the status of a spare tire and an ally. The use value is great, and if we stick to the Apple II platform, it will be a tragedy, and it is time to fully exert our strength.

While Tang Huan was working hard at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, the sensational effect of the wealth myth created by Apple's listing continued to ferment.

Now, The Forbes 400, the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans, has not yet come out, but it is said that Jobs is already the youngest billionaire among the top 40.

However, some people are skeptical about this. Although this is true in terms of paper wealth alone, Tang Huan still controls two companies with a strong ability to absorb money, especially EA. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day.

Moreover, after careful inspection, the financial experts gradually discovered that the company under Tang Huan's name has a relatively complicated layout, and people can't figure out the way of it for a while, because at the very least, there is a company that operates Fangyuan Computer , has been ignored by everyone.

But to sum it up in one sentence, it is definitely true. Tang Huan is running an IT enterprise group with great potential, and the maturity and sophistication of his methods cannot be compared with Jobs, who is sometimes very unreliable. His personal net worth is definitely far more than 1.5 million US dollars.

As this view spread, some interesting changes in various aspects began to take place.

For example, in Europe, the other party to the contract on the Soviet purchase order was unified into the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and even the First Deputy Minister Yuri Leonidovich Brezhnev inspected the small office and passed the Nellie Kim conveyed to Tang Huan the intention of further cooperation between the two parties.

In addition, Christina can't continue to quarrel in England, because the "Sun", which is in a lawsuit, suddenly persuaded and privately requested an out-of-court settlement. It is said that it was Murdoch's instruction. After London, it has now moved to the United States. Its vision and height of seeing problems are obviously beyond the imagination of the subordinates of "The Sun".

Originally, the whole of the UK had always been sitting on a small bench, eating melon seeds, and laughing while watching this farce. Those celebrities who had been hacked by the "Sun" secretly cheered for Christina.

However, the evaluation of the female ship queen is not high as always. It boils down to ambition, talent, wealth and self-willedness.

But as the latest news from Wall Street spread to London, people began to fall silent. No matter how entangled the relationship between Christina and Tang Huan was, the fact that the chosen lover had become a billionaire now showed that It is meaningful to understand the crazy act of the female ship king who spared no expense to give Tang Huan a Boeing-747 as a private jet as a gift.

If two billionaires become a family, what miracles will happen next? It’s really exciting.

Christina called Tang Huan and asked, "Should we just let the "Sun" go like this?"

"Your anger should have almost dissipated, so why not just take this step and come to an end." Tang Huan immediately gave a suggestion, and at the same time smiled bitterly in his heart. The vitality of "The Sun" is not ordinary tenacious, it is better to see it Just take it.

"Then I'll listen to you." Christina agreed, and at the same time said a little sullenly: "Recently everything is going well, but the acquisition of AC Milan is not successful, which makes people unhappy."

Hearing this complaint, Tang Huan couldn't help but smile. Christina, the third largest shareholder of AC Milan, really has no sense of existence. The future football champion Diego Maradona has already been bought. Brought into AC Milan, which is playing in the Italian second division, had to still be placed in the Argentine youth club.

"Catching big fish with a long line is also a kind of fun. You should calm down, and there will definitely be a chance for you to be the savior in the future." Tang Huan hurriedly comforted, "Your biggest task now is to take good care of the child in your stomach. The mission of family continuity."

"I know." Christina thought of something interesting and suddenly laughed, "Dear, I don't dislike the small village where the treasure was found. It has become too noisy because of more and more people hunting for treasure, and I plan to deal with it. Why not drop that residence? After hearing the news, someone actually started selling the castle to me."

"Who made you so lucky to get a treasure? The British are trying to keep this wealth from you." Tang Huan laughed, "If you like it, buy it. Well, not counting those ancient Roman gold coins that are regarded as cultural relics, the remaining gold and silver artifacts are also troublesome to deal with. If they can be exchanged for real estate, it would be a good choice. At that time, children will have a castle as an amusement park gone."

Christina was coaxed by Tang Huan to giggle, and asked coquettishly, "Honey, when are you coming to Europe?"

Tang Huan pondered for a while, "It should be soon. The computer I specially developed for Stephen Hawking is basically finished, and I will send it over in person."

After receiving Tang Huan's assurance, Christina reluctantly put down the phone.

……

With the pursuit of the outside world, more and more media asked for interviews. Tang Huan was overwhelmed by the disturbance, and planned to leave for Xiangjiang to hide for a while, and there were many things to deal with there.

As the traditional Chinese festival Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Tang Huan asked the people below to prepare for a large-scale celebration party very early to boost the morale of employees in Greater China.

Lin Qingxia has been reluctant to come out to meet each other recently, but she was very affectionate when talking on the phone. Tang Huan understood that she needed some time to adapt to the identity change, so he was considerate and did not force her. After telling her her itinerary, she took the train. airplane.

When he arrived in Xiangjiang and returned to his villa in Kowloon Tong to beat the jet lag, he happened to see Guan Zhilin trying on the newly bought clothes.

"Brother Huan, the "South China Morning Post" said that there is a new Chinese billionaire named Tang Huan in the United States. It must be you." Seeing Tang Huan's return, Guan Zhilin, who was overjoyed, rushed forward.

"So what, are you still disobedient? I have arranged for you to go to school in the United States, why have I not seen you for so long?" Tang Huan asked displeasedly.

"Brother Huan, I can't blame others. My dad has already made an agreement with Li's TV. I can only wait to sign the contract. There are also many aunties who persuade me to sign up for the next year's Miss Xiangjiang election, which makes me at a loss. "Guan Zhilin shook Tang Huan's arm and explained repeatedly.

Hearing these messy reasons, Tang Huan couldn't help rubbing the center of his eyebrows. Guan Zhilin's parents, Guan Shan and Zhang Bingqian, were once famous movie stars in Xiangjiang, so they naturally met many friends in the circle, such as the famous "long-legged sister" Ye Feng , is Guan Zhilin's godmother, as for Wu Siyuan and his wife, that relationship is not to mention.

These old fried dough sticks in the entertainment industry basically don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. Tang Huan doesn't want Guan Zhilin to be contaminated with the habits of these people too much, which is one of the reasons why he plans to send her to the United States for further studies.

But the immediate result is still an entangled situation.

Tang Huan thought about it again, after all, Guan Zhilin was only 18 years old, no matter how mature her thinking was, there was a limit, so it was really hard for him to scold her too much.

After snorting, Tang Huan sat on the sofa and looked Guan Zhilin up and down. I haven't seen her for a while. The other person's attire has obviously matured a lot. He couldn't help but say, "No wonder Cai Jiguang didn't let you serve as "Applause" The heroine, which also matured too quickly."

In the original time and space, the first movie Guan Zhilin participated in was "Goodbye Jianghu" filmed in 1982. The leading actor Zhou Runfa played a killer, and the heroine reporter Ke Peilin was Guan Zhilin. The urban white-collar dress was very eye-catching.Now, Guan Zhilin is almost like this image.

"That's not because you teach well." In front of Tang Huan, Guan Zhilin has always been shameless, "I just used this image to shoot an advertisement, and others said it was good. How about I take over Miss Hu's class and be your secretary?" , very well matched."

"What's the use of just having an image? Hu Yinmeng also received a college education, so what can he do to make up for the difference in ability?" Tang Huan couldn't help being a little amused.

"I can make up for it in other ways..." Guan Zhilin giggled.
……

Zhao Yazhi, who has become more and more famous recently, not only has not lost her popularity, but her star halo has become more and more dazzling.

The costume martial arts film "Heroes Without Tears", which she participated in last year based on Gu Long's original novel of the same name, has received good responses since its release at the end of July.

Shaw Brothers' Gu Long movie has an excellent cast, directed by Chu Yuan, and starring Er Dongsheng, Fu Sheng, Zhao Yazhi, Bai Biao, Gu Feng, and Yue Hua. It is indeed very eye-catching.

And Die Wu, played by Zhao Yazhi, was specially arranged to perform a dance in the movie. With Zhen Ni's singing, it can satisfy the appreciation level of some audiences.

However, it is impossible for everything in the world to be perfect and perfect, so Zhao Yazhi encountered troubles.

Zhao Yazhi's ex-husband found out about Zhao Yazhi's ex-husband and immediately caused trouble.

"You Zhao family, don't bully people too much, thinking that you can ignore my feelings because you have found a big backer?" Huang Hanwei glared at Zhao's mother angrily.

When the other party approached, Zhao Yazhi hugged her son, was pushed into the bedroom by her family, and hid, but the kind-hearted she felt that things on her side were not done according to the rules.

Therefore, after hearing Huang Hanwei's questioning, Zhao Yazhi felt quite guilty.

"Azhi is becoming more and more popular now, if I expose this matter, think about it for yourself, what will be the consequences?" Huang Hanwei continued to threaten.

"You've said so much, it's nothing more than putting pressure on Azhi, anyway, you have been doing this all the time, in order to achieve your own goals, you also use the tricks of intrigue in the market with your wife, and never take into account the relationship between husband and wife "Mother Zhao has been mentally prepared since she made the decision, so now she is just watching Huang Hanwei calmly, "Tell me your purpose and see if we can satisfy your appetite."

"You said it yourself, I didn't force you." Huang Hanwei laughed triumphantly, "Aren't you rich? If you have money, you are great. Let's use money to talk."

"Don't forget, you are also a rich man, and you spend a lot of time and wine, so there is no need to make yourself so sad." Mother Zhao said lightly, "Since the matter can be resolved, how much do you plan to ask for? "

"1000 million. Didn't the South China Morning Post say that he has already been worth over [-] million US dollars? He shouldn't mind this small amount of money." Huang Hanwei said viciously, "As long as you agree, I don't mind that cheap son. Go find a woman to have a baby, haha..."

"Your ugly face has finally been revealed without any scruples." Although she had been prepared all along, after hearing these words, Zhao's mother still couldn't help but turn livid with anger.

Zhao Yazhi, who was hiding in the room with his son in his arms, wept sadly. The little guy stretched out his little hand for no reason, and wiped his mother's face back and forth.

"I'm a highly educated person, but don't force me to speak foul words." Huang Hanwei raised his chin with a sneer, "Well, this deal is kind."

"The lawyer will be here soon, and he will discuss it with you carefully, so that you can see what it means to be a man." Mother Zhao closed her eyes slightly, not wanting to take another look at the other party.

"Hehe, this tea tastes good." Huang Hanwei picked up the cup in a self-righteous manner, not taking the embarrassing silence that followed at all.

Fortunately, after a while, Luo Yinggan rushed over with two assistants, a man and a woman, breaking the boring deadlock.

"Lawyer Luo, you are here. This guy is here to blackmail you, and he wants 1000 million." Seeing Luo Yinggan, Mother Zhao felt as if she had met a savior.

On the contrary, Huang Hanwei showed a look of apprehension on his face. Ever since he made trouble with Zhao Yazhi's crew and studio according to the usual practice, he was targeted by the other party. He was sued every now and then, ranging from personal morality to commercial violations. After being exposed to the ground, the company's operations have come to a standstill, so he has no choice but to admit it.

However, in order to get the money, it is worth overcoming this psychological shadow, and it seems that Zhao Yazhi's use value is a hard currency, and he is fully hopeful to achieve his goal.

"Mrs. Zhao, please don't worry. I'll just leave the rest of the matter to me." Luo Yinggan comforted Zhao's mother, and then his eyes fell on Huang Hanwei, "Mr. Huang, why don't you go to my lawyer's office to talk further."

"No need, let's talk here first, so as not to waste a trip if we can't reach an agreement." Huang Hanwei snorted without moving his buttocks.

"Okay." Luo Yinggan smiled calmly, "Mr. Huang, as far as I know, you have never paid child support. In this case, the actions taken by my client make sense. of."
