Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 738 Anxiety about Panic Buying
……

Tang Huan deliberately kept a low profile in the stands. The French Open at this stage has attracted more celebrities to watch the match, distracting a lot of attention from the media. As long as he deliberately mixes with the crowd, he will still It can be quiet.

"Michael, you are doing well, I like you!" The richest man wearing big sunglasses pressed the brim of his tennis cap, and then praised Zhang Depei who was sitting beside him.

Zhang Depei, who is only 16 years old this year and has a very immature face, replied a little embarrassedly: "The boss praised the prize, and he was eliminated in the third round. It's a shame."

Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, and didn't say anything more, so as not to add unnecessary pressure to the fledgling young man.

In 1987, that is, last year, 15-year-old Zhang Depei won the US National Junior Tennis Championship; this year, he officially entered the professional tennis world.
Every year, the Organizing Committee of the French Open will issue several wild cards to those potential players who do not have enough points and are not eligible to participate in order to accumulate experience. This is how Zhang Depei came to the Roland Garros court this year and was accepted. In the first group of the No. [-] seed, Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia.

As a fresh newcomer, it is normal for Zhang Depei to be eliminated in the first round of head-to-head fights among 128 contestants, but he made it to the third round and finally lost to the respected "Tennis Emperor" John Depei. Photographed by McEnroe.Although the opponent no longer has the bravery of the No.1 men's tennis player in the world a few years ago, his strength is still not to be underestimated, and Zhang Depei still fought hard for three sets before stopping at the French Open. on footsteps.

Tang Huan was very satisfied with this result, so he specially called the opponent to watch the game with him as a sign of encouragement.

With so much attention on the finals, before the official start, the organizers couldn't help being a little bit verbose, but it also further aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.

But when the game started, people shattered their glasses, and the previous hype turned into a one-sided massacre - Steffi Graf beat his opponent Natasha with two consecutive 6:0 Zvereva didn't have any power to parry, and the whole game ended in just 32 minutes. The host said incoherently that this final created a record for the shortest time.

Many spectators were a little bit unsatisfied, but the game was really finished so cleanly.

Natasha Zvereva, who appeared as a dark horse, made people feel a bit sorry for her performance, but it was not a disadvantage. At least in terms of prize money, although Steffi Graf took away the champion's 1436390 French Francs, but Natasha Zvereva also received 731700 French francs for the runner-up.

The Western media is full of malice, and this is also evident at this time.While they were praising Steffi Graf's domineering style as a queen, they still did not let go of Natasha Zvereva. They did not know how to find out the information. The 17-year-old Belarusian girl asked to keep the competition bonus. , set a precedent for Soviet athletes, and then became the best talking point for the opposing camps in the Cold War to spit on each other.

The life of the Soviet Union is getting more and more difficult. The withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan on May 5 this year shows the weakening of its strength; the pressure of people's daily life has even been transmitted to the athletes.

Naturally, these quarrels have nothing to do with Tang Huan.He held a private small party for Steffi Graf to celebrate, and handed over an exquisite gift box with a smile, "I will give you your birthday gift in advance so that we will not be too busy and miss it."

Although Steffi Graf is majestic on the tennis court, in daily life, she is an introverted and even shy girl.

But it is also because of this that Steffi Graf was able to maintain a high degree of focus on his tennis career. He was able to endure boring training and tight schedules at a young age, and won one victory after another without distraction.

"Thank you..." Steffi Graf happily took the gift and held it in front of her chest. Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped with a blushing face.

Tang Huan found it interesting, so he teased, "At this moment, don't you want to say something to me?"

"I also want to give you a present..." Steffi Graf said softly, but stopped talking.

At this time, Monica Bellucci, who is the most knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and unrestrained among the four golden flowers of Jiade, Italy, and France cultivated by Tang Huan, came over with a smile and interjected: "I'm so anxious, let me tell you , she wants to give herself to you as a gift."

Tang Huan, who knew the elegance from the sound of the piano, smiled, "It's only three weeks before the next Grand Slam—Wimbledon Tennis Championships. I'm afraid it will affect your performance on the spot."

Monica Bellucci squeezed Steffi Graf's red cheeks, "See if you don't give out gifts, it will affect the performance on the spot. Why did she play in the final of the French Open So domineering, creating a record for the shortest time, isn't it because there is a fire in my heart, holding back!"

Steffi Graf couldn't stand Monica Bellucci's blatant teasing, and turned away shyly.Monica Bellucci refused to let go and followed.

Tang Huan turned his head, glanced at Celine Dion, the karaoke-obsessed Mai Ba, with a smile, and then waved to Sophie Marceau, who then sat down obediently.

Among the four little lolita raised by the richest man, Celine Dion is the most enthusiastic and pungent, Monica Bellucci is the most knowledgeable and witty, Steffi Graf is the most well-behaved and sensible, as for Sophie Marceau, There is romance, but it is also a bit naive. In order to transform into a literary film that is popular in Europe, it was almost abducted.

The literary and artistic films here are often inseparable from women and sex. They may be deep enough, but they are not as popular as Hollywood. Tang Huan will definitely not allow peaches to be picked so worthlessly.

Sophie Marceau was not a betrayal, but she was a bit disobedient, so she was arranged by Tang Huan to go to university, so her career development was a little quiet, but after finishing her studies, she quickly became active in the circle Woke up.

This is mainly due to her participation in "Le Grand Bleu" written and directed by Luc Besson - "Blue Sea and Blue Sky". Interactive stories are not so exaggerated as "literary".

Luc Besson is naturally a registered figure with Tang Huan. As early as 1983, when he directed his first feature film, the black and white science fiction film "Le Dernier Combat" - "The Last Battle", he entered the Tang system.

However, it was not until 1985 when he directed "Subway" starring "French No. The trust of local producers including Mongolia.

Under such a favorable situation, the semi-autobiographical "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" was able to operate, but for a literary film, the shooting scenes involved France, Italy, Greece, the United States, Peru, the U.S. Virgin Islands, etc. In many regions in Europe, North America, and South America, the cost is as high as 8000 million French francs. The risk is a bit high. If it is not for the support of the richest man, Gaumont may not be willing to participate.

In the end, "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" became the opening film at the Cannes Film Festival in France in May this year. Too successful has become a screen image of a young girl who is shackled.

Looking at the "sandwich biscuit" made by himself and Monica Bellucci, Tang Huan said slowly: "Because of the different tastes of the audience, the response of "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" in Hollywood may be a little cold, so you have to have a psychological Prepare."

"I know." Sophie Marceau replied sweetly, she is not so naive now, and naturally understands that more things need to be followed in steps, not to mention that "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" has benefited herself a lot in France.

Tang Huan nodded and continued: "Luc Besson submitted a project called "Nikita" - "Nikita", I recommend you to be the heroine. It's just that this is a killer role, There will be a lot of action scenes, and you will have to suffer a bit."

In the original time and space, Luc Besson and James Cameron had a similar habit, that is, the heroines of the films they directed often became wives in the end.

Of course, Tang Huan couldn't let them develop such problems in this time and space—first, the heroine of "Terminator" was replaced by Jodie Foster, who was still in college at the time, and now the heroine of "Nikita" The protagonist has been replaced by Sophie Marceau——if you want to "use public equipment for private use", you have to give priority to yourself, right?
"There is no problem." Sophie Marceau happily posed a pose, "During college, I practiced it specially."

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan smiled gratifiedly.

At this stage, Celine Dion is the queen of French; Steffi Graf is the queen of tennis; Monica Bellucci, who is proficient in English, French, Italian, and even Spanish and German, is a A supermodel who is popular in Europe and the United States is still "shocked" from time to time, and Sophie Marceau, who became famous overnight, lacks a solid background.

The richest man took great pains to make such an arrangement, which is worthy of Sophie Marceau's hard work in making "sandwich biscuits".

……

After confirming that Steffi Graf is still in a brave state on the tennis court and went to the UK to participate in the Wimbledon Tennis Championships with all his strength to compete for the next Grand Slam, Tang Huan continued his trip to Europe with confidence.His next stop is CERN, headquartered in the northwest suburbs of Geneva, Switzerland, on the French-Swiss border.

The world's largest particle physics laboratory with abundant funds and high-quality personnel is Tang Huan's most satisfied customer. Gein's local area network built here, including a series of technical experiments including WWW services, has achieved great success. achievement.

In front of CERN's representative, Tim Berners-Lee, Tang Huan couldn't help saying: "This will become another birthplace of the world's Internet, and everyone will be remembered forever in history."

Tim Berners-Lee and others were also very excited, and said longingly: "The real promotion of this technology now requires the further increase of bandwidth on the public network."

Tang Huan laughed confidently, "I can guarantee that next year we will be able to use our crystallization of wisdom on a large scale on the west coast of the United States and several regions in Asia."

……

In the name of the Arctic scientific expedition plan, Tang Huan's trip to Europe traveled to most European countries, and even followed the path of the Nordic countries and finally entered the Soviet Union.

Everywhere the richest man goes, he meets with people from the local scientific community, and is captured by the world's mainstream media.Naturally, this momentum reached its peak in the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union surrounded most of the borders of the Arctic. Of course, it will not ignore this extremely large Arctic scientific expedition plan with members covering all countries in the world. However, it is really a bit tight at hand, so it can only increase manpower input to show its presence. .

During his contact with Soviet scientists and engineering technical elites, Tang Huan noticed that their daily life was inevitably affected by the obvious decline of the Soviet Union's national power and the serious imbalance of its economic structure.

Coincidentally, when Silicon Valley One landed in Yanjing in late July, Tang Huan also felt the panic caused by China's current large inflation among the people.

Originally, according to the scheduled itinerary, Tang Huan would not come to China in a flash in the scorching summer, but he accepted a letter from the Soviet Union in private, so he simply sent it to China under the guise of the Arctic scientific expedition plan. Come over - the Soviet Union, which is under increasing pressure, is now eager to repair relations with China, so it tried various channels, and Mr. the richest man who "mouthed all over the world" was arrested.

The little uncle Meng Qingguan who came to pick up the plane sighed in the car, "Nowadays there are rumors that 'prices will rise by half and wages will double'. People's expectations for inflation have grown so rapidly that banks all over the world There was a wave of runs, and all kinds of goods were snapped up."

Listening to the introduction by his uncle Meng Qingguan, Tang Huan's face was obviously worried. In this complexity, he seemed to see the fate of the accumulation of contradictions.

It seems that I will personally participate in the Arctic scientific expedition plan to be implemented next year anyway.
