Chapter 950 The first call of the Iridium system

"It's a narrow strip of water between China and China. It's much faster and more convenient to travel between the two places than to the United States." Sun Zhengyi replied: "So, I have made a few trips in the past few years, and I deeply feel that although it is still in its infancy, , but the potential is immeasurably huge.”

After being generally affirmed, Sun Zhengyi mused: "At present, the Internet's service targets in China are mainly government agencies, especially in the field of foreign trade. Most of the manufacturers that provide related solutions are local startups. SoftBank is contacting , on the one hand, to cultivate a foundation of mutual trust, and on the other hand, to gain a deep understanding of targets worthy of investment.”

Tang Huan nodded, "At this stage, computers and the Internet have a good atmosphere in China's major universities, so in just a few years, a social class will appear there, consisting of millions of highly educated people. IT application driving force composed of young people."

"Although latecomers have many shortcomings including weak foundations, they also lack some vested interests in the process of accepting and applying new things."

"In my opinion, the prospects for e-commerce in China are even better than those of the much more developed economies today."

Sun Zhengyi humbly asked for advice: "There are so many companies doing e-commerce through the Internet in the United States. Which one is Tang more optimistic about?"

"It should be Electronic Harbor and Amazon that can go further." Tang Huan mused: "The auction platform quickly established by the former is undoubtedly the most in line with the current understanding of the Internet C[-]C application model; the latter does not have business planning. Anxious to make profits immediately, but to steadily cultivate a self-centered B[-]C application model, although it has been criticized by shareholders, it is a long-term solution."

……

The two were chatting about the topic of e-commerce. The assistant came over and reported softly: "Boss, Motorola would like to confirm your schedule to attend the official commercial launch ceremony of the Iridium satellite system on August [-]."

The richest man nodded slightly, "No matter how busy you are, you still have to show off."

Although he is not optimistic about the prospect of the Iridium system, Tang Huan still actively participates in order to learn valuable experience and lessons.

Compared with the original time and space, the official commercialization of the Iridium system was slightly earlier, thanks to the assistance of the Tang IT Kingdom.

For example, in terms of terminal equipment manufacturing, in addition to Motorola itself, there are also Fangyuan Company and Kyocera.

The assistant reminded: "Boss, US Vice President Al Gore will also attend the ceremony that day."

Tang Huan put the teacup on the table, and asked indifferently, "So what?"

"Yes." The assistant agreed clearly: "I will give Motorola an affirmative reply."

……

Looking at the back of the assistant leaving, Sun Zhengyi asked with concern: "Don, I understand that US Vice President Al Gore publicly sided with the Department of Justice in the United States of America v. Zheru software company monopoly case. Is there any particular trouble?"

"It's not a big deal, it's nothing more than being driven by ambition, this Mr. Vice President is not so stable." Tang Huan snorted, and casually talked about the secrets of American politics that he had mastered.

The heroine of U.S. President Bill Clinton's "Zippergate" incident, Monica Lewinsky, met Linda Tripp after being transferred from the White House to the Department of Defense, and they became her best friend and they talked about everything. Among his close friends, he mentioned various indescribable things with US President Bill Clinton.

Or to put it another way, the workplace is in trouble, and you know people well but don’t know their hearts.

What Monica Levinsky didn't know was that the monstrous secrets she confided to her best friend were secretly recorded in their entirety and became one of the conclusive physical evidences of the current scandal.

At first, Monica Lewinsky, like Bill Clinton, flatly denied any illicit relationship between the two.

But this kind of separation, how can I stand up to my best friend betraying me?
Linda Tripp turned over the tapes, and Monica Lewinsky was about to be charged with obstruction of justice.

Just this past July 28, Monica Lewinsky was granted immunity at the cost of honestly confessing and testifying.

In order to protect himself, Monica Lewinsky produced the most lethal evidence, that is, a skirt with "traces" left as a "souvenir".

As a result, no matter how eloquently Bill Clinton defends his case, it will all turn into a ridiculous lie when the DNA identification results come out.

Al Gore previously strongly defended Bill Clinton regarding the "Zippergate" incident, but now he is quite critical of it.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

Bill Clinton's elaborate lie that involved Al Gore.However, the US vice president was still ambitiously preparing to participate in the 2000 US presidential election, but now he is "ambiguously" standing on the wrong team, which immediately gave his competitors a big excuse to attack.

This subtle change in attitude immediately affected the friendly and cooperative relationship between Bill Clinton and Al Gore.

The richest man summed it up bluntly: "With Al Gore and Bill Clinton at odds, it will be difficult for him to obtain delegated power from the president."

Masayoshi Son sighed: "I hope that in two years, the vice president of the United States will not appear on the list of candidates for the presidential election of the United States."

Tang Huan laughed noncommittally, and then said: "After seeing the United States of America sue Zheru Software Company for monopoly, the European Union and Yiyiyi have signs of joining in the fun. You should spare time to help Masako, do some research and PR work."

"There is no shirking the responsibility." Son agreed with enthusiasm.

……

On August [-], [-], Christopher Galvin, chairman and CEO of Motorola and the third generation of the Galvin family, personally presided over the much-anticipated official commercialization ceremony of the Iridium satellite system. The atmosphere started enthusiastically.

The enthusiastic reporters never forgot to closely follow every move of Tang Huan, the world's richest man, and US Vice President Al Gore.

You know, after Al Gore openly sided with the Department of Justice in the monopoly case against Zheru Software Company by the United States of America, this was the first time that he and Tang Huan appeared together in public.

As a result, the reporters were not disappointed. From the moment they entered the public eye, the two men did not have any form of interaction, not even the most basic eye contact.

Obviously, the relationship between the world's richest man Tang Huan and US Vice President Al Gore has openly broken down without any hesitation!
Christopher Galvin, who looks like a son of a family, is very embarrassed by this situation.

According to the original plan, a business leader with a pivotal position in the high-tech field and a political figure with a long-term enthusiasm for the high-tech industry would definitely be the perfect VIP combination at the official commercial launch ceremony of the Iridium satellite system.

Unexpectedly, in just over a month, the situation changed suddenly, and the relationship between them took a sharp turn, deteriorating to the point where they looked at each other so disgustingly, which also made the atmosphere of the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system , becoming weird.

Christopher Galvin, who was afraid that the conflict would suddenly erupt at a certain time point that could not be taken care of, causing a mistake on this important occasion, found a gap and whispered to Mr. Richest Man: "Don, everyone is paying attention. Character, show your bearing, don't make it so stiff."

"I don't have the temperament of a gentleman like you." Mr. Richest Man replied calmly: "Someone wants to step on me to achieve their own goals. Do you want me to bend down and accompany you with a happy smile at the same time?"

Christopher Galvin shrugged with a wry smile, "We have been friends for many years, of course I am on your side, but I feel that there is no need to make it so obvious and let the media see it as a joke."

Tang Huan patted the other party's shoulder, "Don't worry, I know the priorities, and I won't let the extremely important official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system become a farce."

Christopher Galvin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I will find a suitable opportunity later to mediate and let you sit down together and have a good talk to see if there is any misunderstanding."

The richest man showed a playful look on his face, and nodded noncommittally.

In any case, Tang Huan made a statement to control his emotions, which relieved the pressure in Christopher Galvin's heart a lot.

Next, he found another opportunity to persuade Al Gore in a similar way, but the other party innocently stated that he had done nothing wrong, and that Don was the one who took the initiative to demonstrate.

Christopher Galvin immediately understood completely: the relationship between the two has become a deadlock, there is no need to waste feelings and pretend that the peace is old.

That's fine, you can do whatever you want, as long as it's not on this occasion, just fight with your hands!
The situation went as expected by the Chairman and CEO of Motorola. Although outsiders could see that the relationship between Tang Huan, the world's richest man, and US Vice President Al Gore was very different, they behaved very professionally on this occasion. , maintaining the tacit understanding of each other not to offend each other, and all aspects, including the speeches, were carried out smoothly and orderly according to the plan.

Until the climax of the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium satellite system came, Christopher Galvin announced enthusiastically: "What follows will be a historic moment, and the Iridium satellite system will usher in its first Phone call. We invite a heavyweight guest to open this great chapter."

Al Gore looked at the Iridium terminal phone placed on the table with a smile, thinking in his mind that when the first call on the Iridium system was dialed later, he and his wife Tipa Gore would be there. What are they talking about under the spotlight?

After hearing Christopher Galvin's confession to arouse the mood of the scene, Al Gore checked his cuffs one last time, then strode forward.

Suddenly, the press conference was eerily quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the heavy breathing of some people, although they tried their best to suppress it.

Al Gore was puzzled and quickly looked around, feeling shocked and angry.

Gein, he saw that Tang Huan was striding forward towards the table where the Iridium terminal phone was placed, and he wanted to arrive first because of his posture.

Before he had time to think about it and to maintain his demeanor, Al Gore almost trotted towards the Iridium terminal phone.

Seeing this unexpected situation, Christopher Galvin was at a loss and his head was pounding. He almost blurted out, "Don, you promised me to control your emotions at the scene. And according to the plan, the Iridium system The first call was made by U.S. Vice President Al Gore. What are you going to rob?"

Compared to the confusion of Motorola's chairman and CEO, all the reporters present looked excited and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

As expected, our patience is worthy of it, and the fun is finally here!
As the temperature of the scene rose steadily, the richest man walking in the car and the Vice President of the United States with messy steps came to the table almost at the same time, and stretched out their hands almost at the same time... But just a millisecond away, the Iridium terminal phone , fell gently and skillfully into the former's hand.

Tang Huan showed a meaningful smile on his face, and said: "In a few days, it will be my birthday. Since the communication function of the Iridium system can reach all directions, it is just for me to take advantage of its magic and convenience. Calling friends for birthday celebrations."

Christopher Galvin, who had regained his composure, hurried over and smoothed the field to cover the shameful US Vice President Al Gore's exit. He also eased the awkward atmosphere and continued what Tang Huan, the world's richest man, had said: " It’s true, Tang’s birthday is about a week away, so we should prepare in advance.”

No one in the audience agreed.

Do you think we are blind or naive?Finding steps with such a pale excuse!
Tang Huan just wanted to slap Al Gore in the face.

However, we love it!
Haha, breaking news, here it is!

By the way, I wonder where the first call from the Iridium system will be made by the richest man?

Will they celebrate the victory directly on the spot?

If so, the fun will be great!
……

The continuous silence at the scene made the dialing sound of the Iridium terminal phone particularly clear.

……

"The White House? This is Tang, please transfer to Mr. President."

……

"Number [-] Downing Street? I'm Tang, please transfer Mr. Prime Minister."

……

"Elysee Palace? This is Tang, please transfer Mr. President."

……

"The Kremlin? This is Don, please transfer Mr. President."

……

……

"The Prime Minister's residence? This is Tang, please transfer to Mr. Prime Minister."

……

The richest man is indeed calling for friends!
In about 10 minutes, he used the Iridium terminal phone to make a circle from west to east around the world, and made a total of six calls.

Even the United Nations cannot achieve such efficiency!

Sure enough, it reaches all directions!

Al Gore, the vice president of the United States, was livid.

Christopher Galvin, Chairman and CEO of Motorola, was stunned.

The rest of them are beyond description.
