Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 252: Picking a Less Unlucky Name

The failure of Heaven's Gate is a thing of the past, and the original business strategy of United Artists, especially in the field of movies, has been proved to be effective, which must be inseparable from the hard work of everyone. So, from now on, everyone will Let go of the burden of thought, and move forward from the new starting line. Sitting in the conference room of the United Artists headquarters in Beverly Hills, Tang Huanru, with a gentle attitude, summed it up, and then accompanied by Andy Albert, Get up and leave.

When the boss left, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, the expressions on their faces couldn't help but relaxed, and followed their respective circles, and returned to their corresponding posts.

The haze that has been hanging over the entire United Artists recently, making people feel uneasy all day long, has disappeared.

The comments about the boss also slowly spread.

For example, although the person is very young, he is not domineering, and is very stable. It is clear that professional people do professional things and respect Hollywood's operating rules.

Compared with Pan Am's tough approach of completely reforming United Artists, Tang Huan's feeling to everyone can only be described as spring breeze.

However, Andy Albert was not so relaxed. On the contrary, he became more anxious.

In other words, although the two parties have been in contact with each other in private before, Andy Albert is also looking forward to the rapid appearance of the new boss, so as not to be fired by the old boss to take responsibility for the failure of Heaven's Gate Squid, but according to his prediction, even if Pan Am completely abandons the film business is the general trend, at least it will have to wait until next year for a clear result.

Unexpectedly, the reality is. Pan Am got rid of United Artists cleanly, and Andy Albert has the deepest experience of John Beckett's strength and difficulty. How could this transaction be so calm and calm.

The only explanation is that John Beckett met an opponent whose strength at least matched him, so he obediently submitted, and Tang Huan's appearance of being harmless to humans and animals at the meeting was just a disguise.

Will such a boss who is so sophisticated and obviously not commensurate with his age keep his promise to let himself sit down as the president safely?

After all, it is a ruthless practice of intrigue and ruthlessness in the market. There is no moral at all.

Is it possible that people are already secretly looking for a new successor, and keep themselves in the dark, acting as a temporary transitional role?

John Beckett had some pessimistic thoughts in his mind. Respectfully let Tang Huan to his president's office.

Computerization of the company's office processes,

It's about to be caught. After Tang Huan pondered, he began to order, Sort out all the copyrights of Lianmei as soon as possible. Give me a clear and unmistakable memo.

John Beckett nodded in agreement. As long as they are assigned work, it means that they will not be kicked away immediately.

Your work throughout 1979 was quite effective, so if you have any thoughts about the future, you might as well tell me and let me hear. Tang Huan encouraged with a smile.

Hearing this, John Beckett couldn't help but feel happy. Isn't this an opportunity to perform, and I have already prepared for it.

...

After the acquisition, middle and high-level communication is essential. In this way, Tang Huan stayed in Lianmei for a while, and he was able to see his son by the way.

As Tang Huan's power grew day by day, Deng's mother could no longer criticize his behavior, which made Tang Huan no chance to play tricks.

Deng Lijun came back a few days ago, but her schedule with Tang Huan was staggered.

When Deng's mother heard her daughter say that she had already bought a residence in Xiangjiang, and that the whole family could live together after the decoration was completed, she couldn't help but feel happy, and she confirmed it after seeing the actual uncle.

Whenever Tang Huan was free, he would play with the two little guys happily, and he was in a good mood. This relieved John Beckett a lot of pressure, but he did not dare to relax his work, and tried his best to let The subordinates sorted out the documents required by the boss as soon as possible.

Looking at the list of copyrighted works of United Artists, Tang Huan nodded secretly. As expected of one of the eight major Hollywood companies, he has a bit of a fortune.

Seeing that Tang Huan's eyes stayed on the movie 007 for the longest time, John Beckett quickly introduced, The twelfth part of this series is currently being filmed and is expected to be released in the middle of next year.

So, if you want to adapt it into a video game, then you have to hurry up now. Tang Huan nodded, You take out a copy of the copyright file of 007 and let EA have a look.

John Beckett nodded yes, and at the same time pondered in his mind, it seems that the boss's plan that one plus one is greater than two has started.

In addition, you should make preparations to set up a joint venture film and television company for Asia, with its headquarters in Xiangjiang. Tang Huan put down the documents in his hand and pondered for a while, Most of the shares are reserved for other partners, and the specific operation Let the people over there be responsible too.

Although he didn't know why, seeing that Tang Huan didn't want to continue explaining, John Beckett didn't ask too much. At this stage, working honestly is the most important thing.

Tang Huan felt that he already knew the situation of Lianmei, so he planned to leave. As for the rest, let Kegan coordinate.

However, what made Tang Huan quite speechless was that since the start of the game, the Oakland Raiders' performance has been unexpectedly good, and Kogan was so happy that he scratched his head and was unwilling to take care of other work.

...

At the 3 headquarters in Marlborough, Massachusetts, in the eastern United States, the directors sat around their desks, waiting for Robert Metcalfe to bring the supposedly promising collaborator.

This guy named Tang Huan has a lot of airs, and he keeps saying that he will come to meet and cooperate with him in person, but he keeps breaking the appointment.

Have you heard that this helper from Robert Metcafra has just bought a company in Hollywood. A director was really bored and talked about gossip.

Are companies in Silicon Valley so rich and powerful? Others were surprised.

He sells personal computers dishonestly, what is he doing in Hollywood? Is he burning too much money? Some people are also puzzled by this. Even disdain.

It may be that there is so much money that I don't know how to spend it. The director who broke the news earlier shook his head approvingly. And he bought a Major League Football team.

In this way, the personal computer industry is really full of business opportunities. A young man in his twenties who has seized the opportunity has become so beautiful. Everyone couldn't help but start to envy.

At this moment, Robert Metcalfe walked into the meeting room alone.

Where's that Tang Huan? Someone asked in surprise.

He had something to do temporarily, so he changed his itinerary and went to England. Robert Metcalfe shrugged helplessly.

It's too much to let us dove again. Isn't it great for a big company? The directors of 3 were angry together.

Here are the files he telexed, you might as well take a look. Robert Metcalfe put the folder in his hand on the table and pushed it over.

Isn't it just a few orders? Pan American Company, Stanford University, and Oxford University and Cambridge University in the UK, these activities are really strong... Everyone chattered.

I hope everyone can calm down. Only in this way can we ensure quick thinking. Robert Metcalf opened his mouth lightly. Obviously, these orders at least show that the application fields of the second-generation Fangyuan computer include at least universities and the financial industry.

It's not a solution that the two sides can't see each other like this. Why don't we go to Silicon Valley to find him next time. A director weakly put forward his suggestion, which made everyone's expressions very exciting.

...

Tang Huan was almost certain that he really didn't get along with 3, and he planned to set off to meet at the other party's headquarters. As a result, something important happened again, and the itinerary had to be changed again.

Michael Aldridge from Li Yingsheng has a message. The transaction of shares in Li's Television seems not that simple. For example, Xiangjiang officials do not want to see both TV stations fall into Chinese hands, which makes Li's Yingsheng a bit embarrassed. Then send a representative to visit the British parent company of Li TV to communicate on this matter.

Tang Huan was speechless for this group of people to make such a ridiculous episode, but he couldn't ignore it. History has taught a truth countless times, and villains are the easiest to do bad things.

First, Tang Huan let Xiangjiang's Zhou Mi start his activities, and then he set off for England to persuade the board of directors of Li Yingsheng.

In fact, without Tang Huan's intervention, Li Yingsheng could have entrusted British banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered in Xiangjiang to carry out business matching, and the consortium from Australia, a place with a long history with the United Kingdom, naturally Is the most ideal transaction object.

Facing the directors of Li Yingsheng who have made a mess of diversified operations, Tang Huan just made a comparison and said flatly: If you sell Li's TV to the Australian consortium, in addition to money, you will also get money. What? If you sell it to me, you will get an additional powerful e-commerce partner, which will undoubtedly add an insurance to the company's future.

By the way, Tang is also the boss of Hollywood now. It might be a good home for Li's TV to be in his hands. Michael Aldridge added with a smile on the side.

Actually, the situation of Canadian Laundry is not that bad. We don't need to sell Li's TV in such a hurry. A director gave his opinion.

But the decline is obvious, isn't it? Michael Aldridge sneered, Do we have to wait until the worst happens before taking action? At that time, in a hurry, can Li's TV sell a suitable one? The price is hard to say. Since sooner or later you have to shrink the business, why not act sooner and take your time.

According to the development of the historical track, the first change of hands of Li TV will have to wait until March 1981, and the reason why it is brought forward to the present is that Tang Huan's early warning made Michael Aldridge start to promote this matter early.

The reason why this guy is so positive is very simple and straightforward. He wants to cut off Li Yingsheng’s industries that have little connection with each other and have average profitability, so as to concentrate resources on developing his e-commerce. At that time, personal power It will also rise with the tide.

Xiangjiang is such a small place that accommodates two wireless TV stations. It's really a bit reluctant, and Li's TV has been crushed by TVB, so it's not an exaggeration to say that it is a money-losing product.

therefore. From Michael Aldridge's point of view, since Tang Huan wanted Li's TV, he should make good use of it.

Hearing Michael Aldridge's analysis of the situation, the directors all nodded, feeling quite reasonable.

Tang, if we sell Li's TV to you, and Xiangjiang is not happy to see you buy Li's TV, what will you do then? A director asked worriedly, which caused everyone to be upset. They all glared at him angrily, what do you care about so much. What if people back off.

Thank you for your concern. I think I will have a gentle way to solve it, and I won't embarrass Li Yingsheng. Tang Huan smiled slightly, with firm confidence in his tone.

That's good. The person who asked the question just nodded. At the same time, he stared back dissatisfiedly at those who had disliked him just now. After all, who has a problem with IQ? Didn't you see how deeply I thought about the problem?

Tang is a billionaire. These small problems can be solved through our own channels, so we don't need to care about them. Michael Aldridge laughed, Then it's decided. The buyer of Li's TV is Tang.

Amidst the applause, Tang Huan got up and signaled, and it was announced. From a business point of view, Li's TV belongs to him.

Don. I heard that the Hollywood company you bought is United Artists. Isn't the movie 007 the work under its name, and it seems that the latest one is being filmed. Can you let us visit the shooting scene? The one who was particularly concerned just now The director, what would Tang Huan do if Xiangjiang made things difficult for him, said enthusiastically.

Of course. The crew is currently filming in England, and I was going to inspect it. Tang Huan readily agreed.

It's normal for this person to be so enthusiastic about 007. Rich people prefer to hunt for novelties. Besides, Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets. The 007 movie, which has a considerable reputation and word of mouth, has naturally become a special meaning.

In fact, it is also a kind of good luck that 007 can fall into the hands of United Artists.

The British writer, Ian Lancaster Fleming, created the James Bond series of novels based on his espionage experience.

Later, the producers, Albert Romero Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, Harry Salzman, jointly purchased the copyright of the film adaptation of the novel in 1961, and founded the instant production company, which was established in the United With the financial support of Midea, film production began.

I don't know what kind of thinking came out of it. In 1975, Harry Salzman sold his share of the rights to United Artists.

Since then, 007 has been firmly controlled by United Artists.

In 1981 in the original time and space, MGM bought United Artists, and the ownership of 007 also changed accordingly.

But now, Lianmei has become Tang Huan's entertainment toy, and 007 is naturally not a problem.

For example, after meeting producer Albert Broccoli and director John Glenn, Tang Huan proposed product placement in the 007 movie more than ten years earlier than the original time and space. Naturally, the first to bear the brunt was The second-generation Fangyuan computer and Xiaobawang game console.

Tang Huan's tone was very gentle, but his attitude was very firm. After Albert Broccoli and John Glenn looked at each other, they readily agreed. Although it was against the rules, it was not a big deal. This high-tech product It is still very easy to arrange an opportunity to show his face, and there is no need to disobey the new boss who has been appointed as a three-time boss.

During this period, Li TV's business transaction procedures have been completed, and Tang Huan waits for Xiangjiang officials to jump out to oppose this transaction in a blatant manner. If the other party dares to do so, he doesn't mind taking it back with a slap .

In the original time and space, Li's TV equity was changed for the second time. After Qiu Degen replaced the Australian consortium, he changed its name to Asia Television.

I don't know if this TV station didn't choose a good name. It's unlucky. Even the headquarters building can catch fire. In the end, it even lost the photo and had no way out.

Therefore, although Tang Huan thinks that the name Asia TV has a very good intention, he still needs to avoid it and finally call it Media Asia TV.

In this way, Tang Huan also marked this toy with his own label, and sent his opinion back to Xiangjiang, while he came to Paris to visit Christina.

After careful preparations, a work of Queen Ship King's attempt to transform the industry has been completely completed, and a new company, the Olympus Group, has been formally established in Paris, operating Xiaobawang game consoles and Fangyuan computers, as well as other it services and products , the business scope covers Europe and Latin America, and also set up a factory in Greece, which can be regarded as a perfect cooperation with Tang Huan.

Is there any help from the company? Tang Huan gave Christina a pulse, and after knowing it well, he asked.

Of course I want to invite you, a technical idol, to encourage the enthusiasm of the employees. After being pregnant, Christina has always cared about maintaining a happy mood as much as possible. Now that she has made new progress in the layout of the family business, it is even more The face is full of spring breeze.

It's a matter of duty. Tang Huan nodded and agreed with a smile, You also help to pay more attention to France's high-tech industrial policy. I plan to build an advanced fab here. You know, the Gallic Rooster that quit NATO, in Technical communication is relatively flexible, which is very important to my layout.” (To be continued..)
