Rebirth of the Tech Madman

It's better not to go. I have already accepted a play from Xiangjiang, and the other party is very sincere, and will come to San Francisco to shoot, I have to prepare carefully. Lin Qingxia politely refused, and finally burst into a smile , Even if you fly over, I won't go.

What is Tang Huan looking for you for? Seeing her daughter put down the phone, walked back to the sofa and sat down, Mother Lin asked casually.

Let me accompany him to watch the stock market listing in New York. He said that he is about to earn more than 100 million dollars. I am very excited. I need a friend to accompany me to share the joy of harvest. Lin Qingxia picked up the script and smiled. answer.

More than 100 million dollars? Does Tang Huan use the unit of 100 million to calculate his money? Lin Lixia screamed, jumped over, took her sister's arm and shook it a few times, and asked with starry eyes, Such a spectacular thing, why don't you go and see the excitement.

What's interesting, it's not our own career achievement. Lin Qingxia picked up the script and slapped her sister angrily.

If you marry him and become a family, then it will also become a joint achievement. Lin Lixia muttered dissatisfied.

It's okay not to go. It's okay to date here in San Francisco, but it's too far away in New York. It's not good for a lonely man and a widow. Mother Lin expressed her opinion, If you talk about Tang Huan, a young man, no matter how you look at it It's all pleasing to the eye, that is, if he doesn't smile and talk to you, it feels like he's facing a mountain, and you can't see what he's thinking at all.

Seeing her mother chattering and shaking her head, Lin Qingxia pursed her lips into a smile, then shook the script in her hand, You guys are so noisy, I'm going to figure out the script myself.

Lin Lixia giggled. Bouncing after the past.

What are you doing here? Lin Qingxia sat in front of the dressing table and glared at her sister angrily.

I'm curious, why did you directly reject Tang Huan's invitation. Didn't you all attend the US President's banquet together a while ago? Isn't it all the same excitement? Lin Lixia leaned over, staring into her sister's eyes and questioning.

This time is different. I feel that if I go, it will be dangerous. Lin Lixia pushed away her sister's pretty face, Don't gossip like that, okay?

Well, stop gossiping. Lin Lixia nodded obediently, Tell me, what is danger?

Smelly girl, you have been a ghost since you were a child, and now you are pretending to be so stupid. You want to be beaten. Lin Lixia angrily pressed her sister on the bed, and threatened angrily.

Brother Baoyu, please forgive me.

Lin Lixia yelled, and Lin Qingxia quickly let go of her hand in fright, Don't shout, I don't want to be scolded with you.

Lin Lixia stood up complacently, walked with her hands behind her back, and said old-fashionedly: Miss Lin, you are always avoiding like an ostrich. It is impossible to refuse to face up to the problem. Aunt Qiong Yao's literary movies are not In reality, if Tang Huan is so indecisive and unable to control the situation, how can he make more than 100 million yuan. I can assure you that he will come to you very likely, and he has no way to run away.

Then I will accept my fate. Lin Qingxia snorted angrily, Anyway, I feel more and more that I am like a fish in Tang Huan's net. As long as he wants to catch it, struggling is futile.

Seeing that her sister's mood suddenly became self-pitying, Lin Lixia felt that she was a little too funny, and quickly dropped a sentence, I'm just talking casually out of feeling. Don't take it to your heart, that. Continue to watch your The script ha...

Then, she made a face. Slipped away lightly.

Seeing her sister's funny look, Lin Qingxia burst into a smile, and couldn't help remembering that the two sisters participated in a community charity event organized by Shennong Foundation not long ago, and they were also so mischievous and lively.

Alas, not only I am Tang Huan's prey, but also a Shennong Fund, I don't know how many people have won over to cheer and love it. What men want is this kind of feeling that the stars are holding the moon.

Lin Qingxia shook her head vigorously, and picked up the script again. This is the movie Love Killing that Xiangjiang director Tan Jiaming is preparing to shoot. After watching it, she thought that she might be able to use this to try to change her acting style, so Just took it.

...

However, my sister's little chattering mouth is really effective.

Early the next morning, when Tang Huan actually came to visit, Lin Qingxia was so surprised that she asked, Aren't you in New York?

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Lixia who was sitting at the dining table giggled, making the whole family, except Lin Qingxia, confused.

Seeing Lin Qingxia's face gradually turning red, Tang Huan laughed in surprise, Didn't I fly back here on purpose to invite you to New York together?

You haven't had breakfast yet, let's have some together. Father Lin interrupted and extended an invitation.

Thank you uncle and aunt. Tang Huan nodded with a smile, walked over and sat directly on the empty seat.

Lin Qingxia, who had been robbed of his seat, glared at Tang Huan. He could only bring the table and chopsticks for him, and he had to move the chair himself.

What stock are you talking about, can it really be worth more than 100 million dollars? Lin Lixia, who was sitting next to her, tilted her head and asked Tang Huan curiously.

Father Lin coughed lightly, Don't casually inquire about other people's business secrets.

It's okay. After tomorrow, this information will be released in broad daylight. It's not a commercial secret. Tang Huan waved his hand with a smile.

What a skill. The awe-inspiring Father Lin sighed, and the rest of the Lin family also responded in the same way.

This is called wealth on paper. It is very different from the numbers on the bank passbook. After it goes public, it will definitely rise and fall from time to time. Don't take it too seriously. Tang Huan ate slowly while being modest. breakfast.

Seeing that Tang Huan would rather fly back and forth non-stop between San Francisco and New York, but also personally invite Lin Qingxia to watch the grand event of the stock listing, Lin's father and Lin's mother could not say anything more, they could only let their own The daughter decides for herself.

There is a time difference of several hours between the east coast and the west coast. Let's make it in time. The resigned Lin Qingxia asked, obviously agreeing to the invitation.

It's too late, we'll go public tomorrow, we have enough time. Tang Huan nodded, You can also take a trip along the way.

...

When Lin Qingxia was lured by Tang Huan to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in midtown Manhattan, New York, which is still owned by the Hilton Hotel at this stage, and found that only one suite was booked. Then she became coquettish.

It doesn't matter, just rest separately. Tang Huan, who was innocent, spread his hands with a smile.

That doesn't work either. Hurry up and open another guest room. Lin Qingxia slapped Tang Huan, who was a bit malicious no matter how he looked, with a lady's bag.

There are no more guest rooms. This hotel receives either rich or expensive guests. Therefore, the housing supply has always been in short supply, so I managed to get a suite. Tang Huan began to play tricks, raising his hand and pointing upwards, Don't believe me, The official residence of the permanent representative of the United States to the United Nations is located on the top 42 floors. There is the Grand Central Station of the New York Railway Station and the hotel's own platform. Franklin Roosevelt, Adlai Stevenson, Douglas MacArthur and those American dignitaries all used this platform to travel or stay, even Li Hongzhang, Governor of Zhili in the Qing Dynasty earlier.

Stop lying to me, no matter how tight the housing supply is, you must have a solution. Lin Qingxia pushed Tang Huan.

Just think of it as saving me money. Tang Huan said with a bitter look on his face, Even if the family is big and the business is big, you still have to know how to live.

You deserve it, there are so many hotels, who told you to stay here. Besides, don't you want to make a fortune tomorrow, why are you so stingy? Lin Qingxia chuckled. He began to look at the layout of the suite, then stood at the door of the master bedroom and issued a ban. Then I will live here. If you dare to plot evil, you will be killed.

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, took Lin Qingxia's hand and kissed it lightly, That's it, I'll order food.

Seeing that although Tang Huan behaved intimately, it was still more than polite, Lin Qingxia's uneasy mood finally calmed down. Especially after there was no incident that night, she let go of her vigilance.

...

September 12, 1980. Friday, three months earlier than the original time and space. Apple's stock is finally listed.

Thanks to the reverberation auction, the bankers finally settled on a share price of $22, an increase of $4 from the original price of $18.

Although Tang Huan joined this game by relying on opportunism, the philosophy he created has boosted Apple's performance, making it publicly issued more than the original 4.6 million shares and raising more than $101 million. , which is the most since Ford Motor's stock went public in 1956.

Therefore, in fact, Tang Huan did not share the interests of others. He just took advantage of the wind of Apple's listing to obtain the part that should belong to him from the extra part of the benefits.

Within a few hours, Apple's stock was snapped up, and the people at Morgan Stanley were all smiles, after all, they would get a 7 percent commission on it.

Looking at a group of men in suits and leather shoes, discussing obscure numbers while opening champagne to celebrate, Lin Qingxia, who was dressed up and glamorous, couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is this a secular pursuit different from art?

No matter what, Lin Qingxia is sincerely happy for Tang Huan's achievements. Many commemorative photos have left her smiling like a flower, and there are even intimate shots of each other putting their lips on each other's faces.

In the anticipation of investors, at the close of the day, Apple's stock price rose to 35 US dollars, exceeding the original closing price of 29 US dollars in time and space, and the market value even surpassed the original level of 1.778 billion US dollars. Songdi broke through 2 billion US dollars in one fell swoop.

The myth of wealth created by Apple's listing is more than that. It also made 300 people millionaires and 4 people billionaires.

As if the news had grown wings, it spread all over Wall Street in an instant, and everyone couldn't help but stare at it, and the four billionaires who fell from the sky have become entrepreneurial idols in the minds of countless people.

Jobs, who protected his shares like eyeballs, has a personal net worth of $256 million. This year, he was only 25 years old.

Markkula, the most discerning angel investor, also got a paper wealth of more than 200 million US dollars. This year, he was 38 years old.

Tang Huan, who broke out halfway, made great contributions to Apple Computer by virtue of the spreadsheet software he developed, and received a return of more than 150 million US dollars. This year, his actual age was also 25 years old. But on official documents, it should be younger than this age.

And the inventor of and technology genius Woz. The ranking is closely behind Tang Huan. This year, he was 30 years old.

originally. As the founder of Apple, Woz has more stocks than Tang Huan, so he should not be at the bottom.

But the kind-hearted Woz noticed the unfair distribution of shares within Apple, especially the old people who assembled computers in the garage in the early days, and were ruthlessly ignored.

Among these people, there is Daniel Kottke, the buddy who went to college with Jobs and went to India together.

So Woz launched a Woz Project. Some of the shares under his name were sold at a low price, or even simply donated to these colleagues.

It is precisely because of this that Woz slipped to fourth place.

Mike, we are all rich. Tang Huan laughed loudly, and hugged Markkula vigorously.

Yes, but you still have one, or even two such opportunities, because Zheru and EA have been targeted by Wall Street. Markkula, who looked like a gentleman, patted Tang Huan's shoulder reservedly.

The foundation is too shallow. I dare not be too optimistic. Tang Huan poured two glasses of champagne and handed one to Markkula.

I hope our cooperation can still be as close as before. Makula said beautifully. There seemed to be a faint worry.

IBM entering the personal computer market will be the opponent of all vested interests, and Apple is not alone. Tang Huan stared at the champagne, and said slowly but firmly: However, starting next year, a personal computer standard The battle is bound to unfold, and whoever can't keep up with this beat may mean being out.

After this financing is a big success, the funds needed for Apple's operations will be more secure. I believe that the research and development results of the Lisa project will be released soon. Markkula looked at Tang Huan. At that time, Zheru's software will be needed to fight side by side.

Definitely, definitely. Tang Huan smiled and nodded in agreement, but he sighed in his heart. A graphical user interface might be enough to keep you busy for at least two years.

After Tang Huan finished socializing, Lin Qingxia asked in a low voice, When are we going back to San Francisco?

Wait a minute, I have to deal with an interview with the Wall Street Journal tomorrow. Tang Huan shook Lin Qingxia's soft little hand, Let's have a candlelight dinner tonight to celebrate.

Lin Qingxia nodded helplessly, but in fact, she had nothing to object to.

...

After unconsciously drinking several glasses of red wine in the romantic atmosphere flickering by candlelight, Lin Qingxia suddenly felt a little uneasy, especially after meeting Tang Huan's bright eyes a few times, her ears became even warmer My heart was beating and my cheeks were on fire.

Can't drink any more, Lin Qingxia, who was slightly drunk, warned herself secretly, the man in front of him was very energetic during the day, and his lethality to women was too great, just think about the scene of the two kissing each other on the cheek at that time, and you can understand the subtlety of it .

Tang Huan picked up the crystal glass and said considerately: After drinking this, it's over. You go to take a shower and rest, and I will let the maid clean up. Tomorrow's Wall Street Journal interview venue will be arranged here, and I will explain it to the hotel. a bit.

Lin Qingxia, who was full of eyes, also picked up the crystal cup, Congratulations again, billionaire. Among the Chinese peers, you should be the first, don't you have a special sense of accomplishment?

Seeing Lin Qingxia, who was obviously talking more, Tang Huan smiled playfully, clinked his glass with a ding, and replied slowly: Sharing with someone, especially with you, is the sense of accomplishment.

You are always so secretive in what you do and what you say. Lin Qingxia giggled, raised her glass, and drank it boldly.

Seeing Lin Qingxia get up to take a bath, Tang Huan smiled and drank the wine in the glass slowly.

...

After taking a bath, the feeling of alcohol seems to have eased a little, but the thoughts in my mind are more flexible, and the senses are more sensitive, and even the courage seems to have grown.

While combing her hair, Lin Qingxia experienced this wonderful feeling of being slightly drunk, and a brisk smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

After dealing with trivial matters, Tang Huan walked into the master bedroom gently, came behind Lin Qingxia, lowered his head and sniffed, looked at the flowery face in the mirror, and sincerely praised, It smells so good, so beautiful!

It stinks, go take a shower. Lin Qingxia said coquettishly.

Yes. Tang Huan nodded, kissed Lin Qingxia's shoulder, and walked out with brisk steps.

Hearing the sound of footsteps disappearing at the door, Lin Qingxia couldn't help being stunned for a moment. There seemed to be something wrong with what she just said, and why didn't she reprimand this guy and walked into this bedroom without permission.

The uneasiness in Lin Qingxia's heart became more intense, and the woman's intuition told her that something would definitely happen next.

After a moment of disturbed thoughts, Lin Qingxia bit her lower lip, got up and came to the bed, picked up the phone, and slowly dialed a number.

The line was connected, and then, a familiar male voice came from the microphone.

Lin Qingxia suddenly didn't know what to say and fell silent.

Qing Xia, is that you?

Yes. Lin Qingxia said with a trembling voice, I'm going to get married.

After an oh from the microphone, there was a long silence.

Only got this one-word response, Lin Qingxia suddenly felt that her infatuation in the past was really ridiculous, a line of tears slid down her cheeks.

The man's bathing speed was far faster than Lin Qingxia expected. After hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned off the microphone in frustration, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears.

Who to call, it's mysterious, it's not my first love. Tang Huan, who had already entered the master bedroom, joked. (to be continued)
