Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 937

……

"I'm not old yet, and you all want to rebel?" Tang Huan snorted, his eyes stopped for a few seconds on the faces of all Tang's sons, "Without me, wouldn't you be able to rise from the stone like Sun Monkey? Did it pop out of the cracks?"

Jin Chang hurriedly acted like a big brother, diverting the topic for all the brothers, and asked: "Father, you specially called us together. Apart from listening to the teachings, do you have any orders?"

Tang Huan borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "I'm in the United States and I'm really busy, but the financial turmoil in Asia is still raging, especially the Hong Kong Capital Market, the Monetary Authority and our Tracker Investment, and the international Speculators are fighting to a critical stage - so, if you bring a sum of money, it can be regarded as conveying my concerns and stabilizing people's hearts."

"Understood." Jin Chang immediately agreed, "It's just right, I can stop by and visit Master Li."

Li Fuzhao, who once hid in Funan after the "Black Monday" in 1987 due to lawsuits, received a special pardon from the Chief Executive of Xiangjiang for his contributions to Xiangjiang during the Asian financial turmoil, and has now returned to Xiangjiang.

Tang Huan nodded and said: "People have taught you many skills sincerely, and you must respect the teacher and keep it in your heart."

Sitting at the door, Jin Pavilion raised his hand and interjected, "I want to visit Master Li too."

Tang Huan snorted, "You are so capable, you should stay here in the United States and help me share some work."

Jin Ge let go of his hand dejectedly, and muttered, "I knew it would happen."

Jin Chang smiled and comforted his brother, who is a compatriot, "Yanle Entertainment Group is negotiating with PolyGram about the acquisition, and my mother is also assisting in public relations - you can stay and help."

"The boss still knows the importance." Tang Huan pointed to Jinge, "PolyGram has always had a good relationship with us. This time, through Philips, we feel that the traditional record industry will be replaced by emerging digital music, and then we have the intention to quit. The opportunity to concentrate on operating the hardware business must be taken without fail—I have an important layout for digital music, and there is absolutely no room for loss.”

Jinge turned his resentment into joy and said: "It's so important! Then I will definitely watch it closely."

Tang Huan turned his gaze to Jin Ming, who had been praised for his "skills in chasing women" just now, "My third son, the next few years will be a very critical period for our family—you should pay attention to the activities of the Shennong Foundation and others." Spend money to support institutions and maintain a good public image."

The eldest of the twins is always relatively stable and sensible——Jin Ming immediately understood that his father asked him to pay attention to the countercurrent represented by the monopoly of Zheru Software Company in terms of public relations, and its impact on the rising Tang family.

Seeing that the third son understood, Tang Huan turned his attention to Jin Liang and said, "Fourth brother, you have done your duty by helping to look after the situation in South Korea."

Jin Yan laughed softly at the door: "Maybe, the fourth brother is the first one to get married among the brothers."

Tang Huan glared at this troublemaker who is extremely talented in computer technology, and told Jinying, Jinjie and Jinjia said: "Old seventh, old eight, and old eleven, you take the old twelve, help me watch Tighten any sign of trouble on the Internet."

Jin Yan saw that he was the only one being "led", and immediately protested: "Why are the three of them officials and only me a soldier?"

Tang Huan had a threatening look in his eyes, "Then you listen, or don't you listen?"

Jin Yan was like a defeated rooster, and said dejectedly, "Of course! Listen!"

Jin Nian and Jin Fang, who were the same age as Jin Jia and Jin Yan, raised their hands eagerly, and asked crisply, "Then what mission do we have?"

"Your task is also very important!" Tang Huan said with great ease: "You know that the office building of Zheru Software Company is being compelled by the Ministry of Justice to keep any piece of paper with words? Old Thirteen, Old Ten Four, your task is to help me take care of 'Chang'an City', don't let people with ulterior motives spy on our family's secrets, and take care of the younger brothers at the same time!"

"Same as mother, are you the head of the house?" Jinnian and Jinfang said with bright eyes, "Let's leave this task to us."

Tang Huan's face darkened again, and he almost blurted out a question—did you all hear the "weird words" of you brats from your mother who has entered menopause?

After adjusting his mood a little, the richest man coughed lightly, and solemnly concluded: "Remember, from now on, you are my eyes and my hands—only when our father and son are of the same heart, and your brothers are of the same heart, can our family get through this difficult time. Difficulty!"

The members of the Tang family also got up serious, showed the unity and hard work on the sports field, waved their arms, and said in unison: "We are Dad's eyes! We are Dad's hands!"

When a lot of "Tang" were fighting against each other, when the door opened, Lin Qingxia walked in, "I guessed pretty well—you have already finished the meeting."

Jin Yan seemed to have met a savior, pulled Lin Qingxia's sleeve, and called out pitifully, "Mom!"

Lin Qingxia took a look at her youngest son, and praised, "You are quite sensible, and you know how to sit here and guard the door."

Jin Yan's small face suddenly collapsed, and he shouted again, "Mom, I was fined to watch the door, just because of righteousness..."

Tang Huan came over and waved away impatiently: "Go, go, don't be as cheerful as a boy here!"

Jin Ge patted Jin Yan on the shoulder, and then the two brothers fled in despair.

……

After Tang Huan sent away the "sons of Tang", he asked instead, "What do you want from me?"

"It's really not easy to find you now!" Lin Qingxia said complainingly: "The movie "The Matrix" will officially start shooting soon-in order to achieve the best shooting effect, the crew wants to work with you, the creator, Let's have a special chat."

At this stage, Lin Qingxia has not stopped filming, but is very picky about the script, and being able to participate in one movie a year is considered a high-yield.

The richest man does not need a full-time housewife, and Lin Qingxia corresponds to Hu Yinmeng who is in charge of overall management, focusing on the role of producer.

"The Matrix" was written by Tang Huan. The request to put it on the big screen is not only urgent, but also requires the integration of Hong Kong martial arts stunt elements that are becoming more and more popular in Hollywood, so the project fell to Lin Qingxia, who is very popular in the Chinese film industry. on the head.

Tang Huan rubbed his brows, "Now I'm really too busy to take care of things in Hollywood. I even missed the Oscars in late last month. I didn't get to see "Titanic" sweeping all over the world The scene of the big awards."

"Then you should pay attention to it!" Lin Qingxia explained: "The content of "The Matrix" is relatively obscure, no matter what, you have to communicate with the original creator face-to-face to deepen your understanding—unless, you don't care about the success or failure of this project. "

"Now the Internet is a carnival for the whole people, how could I not care about this project." Tang Huan smiled wryly, "Well, let's arrange to meet tomorrow - anyway, it is very convenient to travel between Silicon Valley and Los Angeles by taking the California high-speed rail."

……

For the merger of AOL Time Warner and Turner, Mr. Richest Man even failed to catch up with the hustle and bustle of the 1974th Academy Awards Ceremony, which set the highest ratings record since the 46th Academy Awards Ceremony began compiling ratings data in 70.

Not surprisingly, after the global box office broke through 10 billion US dollars, observers were shocked to numb by 21 million US dollars at a time, and "Titanic", which was not finished until 14 billion US dollars, became the biggest winner——in 11 categories Among the nominations, won include Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Movie Song, Best Editing, Best Original Music, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best The [-] awards, including sound mixing and best costume design, tied the record for the most nominations and the most awards in Oscar history.

Of course, this does not mean that other films have no way out, they have all become decorations at the awards ceremony, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences still has reservations about "Titanic".

For example, in addition to the 11 awards, as well as nominations for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Makeup, "Titanic" has no nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and especially screenwriting awards , thus setting a record for winning the Best Picture Award without being nominated for a screenwriting award.

All in all, no matter how colorful the flowers are, they are all in the balance of the situation.

And James Cameron, who has gained both fame and fortune, couldn't rest at all, and stepped into the ranks of competing for the director of "The Matrix".It was said that it was to make up for the regret of not being able to shoot a "007", but in the end, the director was carefully considered and the project team that had not been decided this year, so he agreed without any resistance.

Although James Cameron is notorious for his harsh working methods on the set, he belongs to Tang Daheng's direct line, and his understanding of "The Matrix" is certainly not comparable to others——"The Matrix" "The project decision makers have taken this into consideration, and have even surpassed the box office appeal.

According to James Cameron himself, in addition to the story of "The Matrix", the martial arts design from Xiangjiang and the lineup including first-class Chinese kung fu stars such as Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Hong Jinbao... all caused him place of intense interest.

During the discussion with James Cameron about the mysterious and mysterious things in "The Matrix", Tang Huan joked: "I don't know if you have noticed, but the commercial return of this project is also very stressful-it will I will finish all the trilogy in one go.”

"Really!" James Cameron came to his senses and slapped his thigh.

The biggest advantage of finishing the trilogy at one time is that it saves a lot of cost, and then once the box office is successful, it will make a lot of money; but once it is messed up, the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in investment will far exceed that of a movie. A normal movie.

Lin Qingxia took the words, and tried to suggest: "Since this is the case, then you shouldn't insist on finishing the "Matrix" trilogy as a whole, make the first one first, and test the waters, how safe it is. !"

The richest man looked around at everyone present and smiled meaningfully, "It's not easy to put together a team with such a complete lineup - it's worth it!"

While everyone was discussing, Jin Yan, who was arranged by his father to pay attention to Internet changes, slipped into the venue quietly, ignored his mother's warning eyes, walked up to Tang Huan, and handed over a book as a gift.

Seeing that it was a newly published "Harry Potter", Tang Huan couldn't help but cursed with a smile, "If you like to read it, go and read it. Why do you come here to show off?"

"Take a look..." Jin Yan insisted, blinking her smart eyes.

Tang Huan shook his head slightly with a smile, and opened "Harry Potter" casually, only to notice that there were two sheets of paper full of printed codes in it.

After a few glances, Tang Huan closed the book quietly, and said to everyone with a smile, "You guys discuss it first."

After finishing speaking, the richest man stood up and winked at Jinyan.

When he came to a secluded place, Tang Huan touched his son's head and asked kindly, "Where did you find it?"

Jin Yan replied excitedly: "When I was scanning on the Internet, I accidentally found it on the computer of the Ministry of Justice."

Tang Huan nodded slightly, and solemnly explained: "Now is very critical and sensitive, and the water is very deep - just pretend you don't know anything; even if you want to study it, wait for a while."

Jin Yan nodded again and again, with excitement shining in his eyes, he assured him: "I understand, I understand, just pretend I didn't come this time."

At this point, Jin Yan took out the printing paper from the book in a serious manner, tore it into pieces, threw it in the sink, and soaked it to pieces, which made Tang Huan laugh.

……

In an office area of ​​the U.S. Department of Justice, Joel Klein, the prosecutor responsible for prosecuting the monopoly of Zheru Software Company, is tirelessly busy.

The software field is too professional and complicated. Zheru Software used this to put the Ministry of Justice in a passive position.

For example, in the argument of integrating programs with functions similar to competitors in the operating system, and using market share and free to attack the opponent, Zheru software companies have always argued that those programs are an integral part of the operating system, hypocritically launching non-integrated and There are two types of integrated versions, but the former is so bad that users not only buy the latter spontaneously, but also send their grievances to the Ministry of Justice.

Fortunately, by inviting computer experts to help, the Ministry of Justice has made a major breakthrough in this area—proving that there are at least 26 types of files in Zheru Software’s operating system, which can be separated without affecting product functions. go out.

In addition, in order to collect evidence, the Ministry of Justice forced Zhiru Software Company not to use shredders and other equipment to destroy documents, and then compiled a mass of information that was enough to overwhelm people.

The reason why Joel Klein did this was to find written evidence that Zheru Software had to pre-install its own products to control hardware manufacturers through various business means outside of technology.

The court was about to start, and Joel Klein counted the states on the document that followed the Ministry of Justice and fought with Zheru Software, an incomparably tenacious and cunning opponent. The number of names had expanded To 20.

It's a pity that California, where Zheru Software is located, has never been able to win over.

However, this year is the year of mid-term elections-the governor of California is about to change, maybe there will be a turnaround?
