Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 849 PC is dead and NC should stand
……

Thunder, rain and dew, could it be God's grace.

As for the established fact that Tang's black hand secretly contributed to, everyone finally accepted it unconsciously and forgot about the Brazilian team for the time being.

After all, from the perspective of fans, although the Italian team and the Dutch team have reached the finals in the history of the Football World Cup, this is the first time they have been put together for a showdown.

In this regard, the richest man has fulfilled the wishes of many people and filled an academic gap in mathematical permutations and combinations, which is very good.

What's more, since entering the 1990s, the Dutch team has always been a top team in Europe, and this final with Italy is quite worth looking forward to.

Of course, Tang Huan, who no longer has the driving force of profit, puts his hands on his shoulders and admires the scenery on the green field in a well-mannered manner.

……

The current Football World Cup has received comprehensive technical support from Tang's IT Kingdom.Therefore, the statistics alone can be said to have reached the level of "what you play is what you get".

For example, the final ticket sales results have already been released-in all 52 games, a total of nearly 390 million people were attracted to pay for tickets and enter the scene to watch the game; on average, the number of people attending each game reached 75000 People, set a historical record in the Football World Cup, absolutely did not live up to FIFA's original bet.

If you take into account the revenue from advertising, peripherals, etc., this Football World Cup has become another world-class sports event that has achieved great success in commercial operations in the United States after the Los Angeles Olympics.

In this regard, the richest man was calm, but Alan Rosenberg, the president of the U.S. Football Association and the chairman of the 1994 U.S. Football World Cup Organizing Committee, could not keep his restraint. Since then, his achievements have been able to operate successfully. Los Angeles in 1984 The Peter Ueberroth of the Olympics is on par, and his name will always be remembered.

Tang Huan didn't bother to sweep away Alan Rosenberg's smug mood, he was busy—although there was only the last match left in this World Cup, but because of this, Mr. Richest had extraordinarily many entertainments.Take the two protagonists of the Netherlands and Italy as examples, both of which have heavyweight guests.

In terms of politicians, the Netherlands has Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers and Grand Prince Willem-Alexander, and Italy has Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi; in business and cultural circles, there are countless figures from all walks of life.

Ruud Lubbers, who is already forming a cabinet for the third time, announced not long ago that he will retire this year.

This person had several brushes during his tenure.Tang Huan heard that after he retired from politics, he did not mean to be idle. He had just accepted an invitation from the world's top public policy school, Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, to serve as a visiting professor.

The Kennedy School of Government~government reflects the influence of the Kennedy family invisibly-the heritage of the old family is here. The richest man has always been envious, but the network can only be patiently accumulated bit by bit.

During the meeting with Ruud Lubbers, Tang Huan sent out an invitation to speak, and the other party readily agreed.

The eldest prince Willem-Alexander is very young, he is less than 30 years old this year, and he is not yet married, so it is easy to entertain him.

Compared with the stability of the Dutch political arena, the Italian Prime Minister's changing back and forth like a revolving door is dazzling.If anyone can sit in this position for three years or two years at a time, he is definitely a capable person with extremely high wrists.Carlo Azelio Ciampi, the last Italian Prime Minister, is an example. He only worked for a year and a few days.

Fortunately, Tang Huan was able to recognize Silvio Berlusconi, a celebrity who was a popular topic in time and space, without an assistant reminding him.

Although AC Milan was cut off by the richest man and the ship queen one step ahead, how could such a savvy man like Silvio Berusconi not be able to find a tool to earn his reputation.

After completing the accumulation step of supporting, Silvio Berlusconi handed over the position of chairman of his business empire to his son on January 1 this year, and began to devote himself to politics. Won the March election and became prime minister for the first time on May 26 - with impressive efficiency.

The richest man admits that Silvio Berlusconi, who is enthusiastic, is quite attractive, but the other party's big mouth is really a bit overwhelming.

Originally, the two of them had only known each other for a while, but not long after this meeting, Silvio Berlusconi was chatting away the people who were responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting, and they were happily discussing the romance. In the past, there was no lack of admiration for Tang Huan's ability to easily control the female shipping king, Italian sex goddess, French Rose, and German tennis queen in Europe. It can be said that the water of the Yangtze River is endless, like the Yellow River. The flooding is out of control.

Who and what have you not seen, Mr. Richest Man?I immediately understood that the other party wanted to establish a personal relationship with me in an alternative yet intimate way.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling person——Tang Huan moved like a cloud and flowing water, picking up the topic that the other party was most proud of, and returning it back courteously until everyone got goosebumps.

Although such entertainment is complicated, it is only a matter of workload and the difficulty is limited.

As a result, Tang's sons seemed to feel that Dad's place was not chaotic enough, so they even abducted the two little princes from England alone, saying that they were going to watch the final together.

The richest man who saw this scene was really a bit big-headed, and he didn't know what Diana was thinking, so he released his two sons-not to mention that the sports that the British royal family likes tend to tend to the so-called aristocratic temperament, but This final has nothing to do with the England team!The Three Meows failed to live up to their expectations. When they played in the qualifiers, they failed to grasp the advantage of the home court. They were tied by the Netherlands and Norway, and then they were defeated at the opponent's home court. In the end, they missed the finals of this Football World Cup.

"Just cheer for the Italian team and beat the Dutch team." Socrates said plausibly.

Tang Huan raised his hand unhappily and gave his son a slap in the face, and scolded with a smile: "The security force is already tense now, do you know how much trouble I have to worry about because of your playfulness? And soon, the British gossip who got the news The media will make your ears callous."

This is indeed the case. Officially invited dignitaries like the Dutch Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers, the Dutch Grand Prince Willem-Alexander, and the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berusconi can openly use Los Angeles and even California And the federal public resources, but the trouble that the children make, it's not easy to follow suit-the media is waiting to pick the thorns.

Fortunately, Mr. Richest has no shortage of security teams, and even has spare energy to support this football World Cup, so Tang Huan specially sent some extra manpower, which is considered to be relieved.

……

7月17日，太平洋时间12点30分，No.15届世界杯足球赛决赛，在容量将近10万人的玫瑰碗球场举行。

Enthusiastic audiences, dignified guests, and media nervously preparing for the battle... made this final battle look perfect.

It is not difficult to imagine that the advertising time on such an ideal occasion, no matter what second, is very precious, and it may not be possible to snatch it if you are willing to spend money. Naturally, the winning bidder cherishes the opportunity and specially designs and spends a lot of money to try to give people an opportunity. Impressive advertising piece.

This is the case with EA, Fangyuan, Zheru Software, and America Online. Even Tang Huan can't find any flaws.

It has to be said that Fangyuan, which is de-computerized, and Zheru software, which is flying solo, both encountered a great platform to promote their new self just at the right time.

The richest man, who was very satisfied with this, became more and more comfortable, talking and laughing happily.

Silvio Berlusconi even smiled in response to the situation at halftime: "Don, your 'i' concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I am greatly inspired."

Tang Huan immediately tasted the subtext of the other party's words, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "The information superhighway construction plan that the United States is promoting has initially shown its positive effect on the entire country. If Italy learns from it, it will definitely become your first Brilliant achievement."

As they were talking, boos suddenly erupted from the entire stadium, which made Mr. Richest Man very surprised—this is halftime brought about by the 0:0 between the Italian team and the Dutch team. Is there anything abnormal?
Soon, Tang Huan realized that it was a commercial that was being played, which caused a commotion.

I saw a scene imitating the Spartacus uprising against Roman rule being played on the screen. The protagonist waved a weapon and shouted impassionedly: "PC is dead, NC is up!"

Mr. Richest Man frowned, looked around calmly, and saw many audiences pointing and talking about it.

Ruud Lubbers joked: "This is a good sign, the Dutch team actually has another cheerleader."

Silvio Berlusconi showed his big mouth style, and directly commented: "I hate grandstanding."

At this point, he was still angry, and turned to Tang Huan, "Tang, how do you feel?"

Looking at the words "Network_Computer" and "Oracle_7i" printed on the large advertising screen, Tang Huan replied flatly: "In the final analysis, it depends on strength."

Silvio Berlusconi laughed triumphantly. "The Don is absolutely right."

The final result of the game seemed to prove that Silvio Berlusconi was qualified to have such confidence - the Oranje did not escape the fate of being second best in a thousand years; the Azzurri won the cup again after 12 years. Become the first unique [-]-star champion.

……

Amidst the cheers, the richest man found a gap and told his assistant with a sullen face: "Go and ask Oracle what's going on with this Network_Computer advertisement. It's so sensational, no one will do it early." Did you notice?"

Not long after, the subordinates came back and reported: "Oracle must have deliberately placed smoke bombs. At the beginning, this advertising space was prepared for its mainstream product Oracle_7. Seeing that Oracle also followed our 'i strategy', Followed the trend and added i to Oracle_7, and it became Oracle_7i. Everyone just laughed, but unexpectedly, a Network_Computer popped up."

Tang Huan didn't reprimand his subordinates for their negligence in collecting intelligence, but waved his hand and ordered again: "Pay attention to the media and market's reaction to this, and report to me on the follow-up development at any time."

The assistant took the order and left, smiling at Mr. Richest Man, who was happily discussing how to arrange a group photo with Tang's sons, and sneered in his heart, "Does Larry Ellison think that Oracle is small and nimble, so he can challenge him by playing cards unreasonably?" What? Lao Tzu’s IT company has carefully prepared so much cash, just to be wary of this.”

……

Larry Ellison, who directed the "PC is dead, NC is here to stay" advertising attack, is now extremely proud - the mainstream media has noticed Oracle's shocking words at the Football World Cup finals, and invariably responded Very high praise, thinking that the "PC is dead, NC is here" advertisement is no less excellent than the "1984" advertisement produced by Apple for MAC computers ten years ago.

"1984" challenged IBM, which was still very powerful at the time. "PC is dead, NC is here to stay" was aimed at the dominance of Fangyuan Computer and Zheru Software in the current computer industry.

The topicality here is too intriguing, and it is in line with the media's appetite for fear of chaos.

No. The 15th Football World Cup has just ended, and reporters from all walks of life rushed to the Oracle headquarters in Redwood City, San Francisco Bay Area, so as to unveil the mystery of "Network_Computer" as soon as possible.

According to the original plan, Larry Ellison also planned to hold a press conference to promote his ideas while the topic was hot, so that the entire IT field could be reshuffled according to his expectations.

Now, with the media flocking in, Larry Ellison has a more vigorous feeling that he is in control.

When the secretary came in to report that the press conference was ready, Larry Ellison, who put down the manuscript, asked casually, "How many reporters are here?"

"There should be more than 500 people." The secretary replied happily: "All well-known media including "Wall Street Journal", "New York Times", "Hua Sheng Dun Post", "Los Angeles Times", without exception All of them were present. In addition, there were representatives from companies such as IBM and Sun Microsystems. I can assure you that Fangyuan and Zheru Software are among these industry representatives."

Larry Ellison laughed out loud with confidence, "That's even better, I just want them to know that a new era has come."
