Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Please tell me. Tang Huan looked at the other party with interest. He came here to make soy sauce, mainly to prevent Woz from being distracted, and to finish the rest of the work on the radio frequency card reader in one breath, but unexpectedly, he still caused trouble.

The second-generation Fangyuan computer will definitely be the focus of your future work. Why don't you transfer the patent and technology of the function expansion card to Apple so that it can be integrated and developed into a follow-up model, so as to extend the product life cycle. Jobs stared at Tang Huan eyes, earnestly stated the so-called proposal.

It is no exaggeration to say that when the second-generation Fangyuan computer was fully opened to commercial and individual users in the US market this month, it was immediately bought back by colleagues for slice research.

Literati look down on each other, and vindictiveness is inevitable among colleagues.

But from a technical point of view, everyone is still very convinced of the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

At the same time, in the professional computer media, a consensus was quickly formed that the second-generation Fangyuan computer is a commercial computer, and the cost and price factors make it difficult to popularize among individual user groups.

In other words, the second-generation Fangyuan computer will not have much impact on the current US PC market structure. Its main direction of attack is the blank area of ​​the current price gap between PCs and minicomputers.

Whether this kind of product positioning will be too high or too low to please everyone has formed two diametrically opposed views.

▲, ww♀w. Conservative people in the personal computer industry believe that the second-generation Fangyuan computer is very likely to be well-received; while those who have obtained the full set of software for the platform in addition to the second-generation Fangyuan computer hardware are very optimistic. On behalf of the functions provided by the Fangyuan computer. Just what business users expect.

But anyway. The second-generation Fangyuan computer has not significantly squeezed the living space of various manufacturers in the current personal computer market. Naturally, it will not be as hated as ibm, which promises to launch a new generation of cheap personal computers.

Everyone who is calm, can therefore calmly look at the second-generation Fangyuan computer, thinking that it is a good choice for the future development of personal computers, and quickly learn from it, so as to deal with the chaos in the personal computer market that Big Blue will soon cause.

Apple also has a similar idea, but because of the complicated relationship with Tang Huan, there is more room for manipulation.

The first generation of Fangyuan computers will be squeezed out of the Far East market, and even counterfeit products such as oranges and mangoes will be wiped out in the bud. Coupled with Zheru's various function expansion cards, Apple has realized that at the current cost level, the functions of the mobile phone can still be further enhanced.

Therefore, Jobs and others focused on a series of function expansion cards developed by Zheru.

If it is directly integrated into it, it can definitely become the functional king of 8-bit PCs in the US market.

Moreover, as long as Zhe Ru is willing to help, this process will be completed easily.

You know, now Apple is a little sluggish in terms of new product launches. Failed, both Lisa and Yau ambitiously made a GUI a must. It is destined to have no results in the near future.

The one that came out in 1977, since the launch of the improved model Appleplus in 1978, no new products have appeared, and it doesn't even support direct input of lowercase letters, which is obviously a bit old.

Seeing that the time has come to 1981, Apple should have a new move.

What's more, as a listed company, Apple must also carry out substantive projects, otherwise, there is no way to explain to investors.

Tang Huan quickly figured out Apple's intentions. Didn't it just want to launch the original version two years earlier, but this version is obviously more powerful, and it will catch up with a fairly good market environment.

For Tang Huan, who was already full-fledged, the technologies that Jobs asked for were gradually reduced to tasteless. His software platform was no longer the mainstay, so it was all right to let them out.

But the question is, what terms does Apple offer in exchange?

Seeing Tang Huan's half-smile expression, Jobs replied gloomily, Of course I bought it with money.

Tang Huan laughed, and turned to look at Markkula, Mike, this proposal is very constructive, and I am willing to cooperate, but now I am not short of money.

Tang, we are all our own people, let's take care of them. Markkula smiled wryly, playing the emotional card.

Apple's shares have made you a billionaire, but what benefits have Zheru's shares brought us? Seeing this, Jobs snorted. Putting it in his own private company EA, and giving the relationship between Zheru and EA a name of labor export, and Fangyuan Computer is also in this model, which is too unkind.

This question is a cliché, and it's meaningless to talk about it in general. Tang Huan replied flatly, And they are all separate products, how to operate them is my own business, if you are jealous, there is no need. In addition, the closely related software and function expansion card business has been honestly sharing benefits with everyone, and it is very considerable.”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan glanced at the few people present playfully, If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, you can sell back the 11% of Zheru's shares in Apple's hands to me, and the personal 100% Three, I can accept it too.

That's the quid pro quo you want. Jobs patted the table angrily.

Then you should find a condition that is more interesting to me. Tang Huan spread his hands indifferently.

If it's as you said, you agree to transfer all the expansion card technology to Apple and help us launch new models quickly? Markkula asked thoughtfully.

Of course it's not a problem. Tang Huan nodded sincerely.

It's not appropriate, Zheru has such a good prospect, selling shares prematurely. The company's interests may be damaged as a result. Scott raised an objection.

I didn't expect you to have more confidence in Zheru than I do. Tang Huan joked about Scott. Then he said seriously: The new model you are planning. I will call it the enhanced model for the time being. After incorporating Zheru's expansion card technology, it is basically an 8-bit version of the second-generation Fangyuan computer. There should be no such model in the US market. Similar products can be compared, and with Apple's current sales network, it is very possible to sell a total of millions of units. Therefore, this transaction is still worthwhile.

Since Tang is only willing to accept this condition, then so be it, but we must ensure that our enhanced version will be launched around the same time as IBM's personal computer, preferably not later than the first half of the year. Markkula, who named the product, made a final decision and confirmed to Tang Huan, Tang, can this request be fulfilled?

With Woz here, you have nothing to worry about. Tang Huan laughed.

Scott, who looked on coldly, could understand Markkula, who is the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company, the starting point of such a decision. But he cannot agree with this short-sighted approach in his view.

Glancing at Jobs and Woz, who had no objections, Scott snorted coldly in his heart. Apple gave up 11% of Zheru's shares, but the three of you each keep 3% of the shares, obviously with selfish intentions.

By the way, do you people already have a tacit agreement in advance?

Invisibly, this Apple employee began to feel that he and the three company founders no longer had the seamless cooperation they had before.

Then act quickly. Markkula urged impatiently, The stock market needs Apple to make substantive moves, instead of just watching from the sidelines that Tang's second-generation Fangyuan computer and IBM's personal computer are in full swing.

Tang Huan nodded slightly with a smile, thinking in his heart, it seems that Apple's stock will usher in a new wave of market prices after the lifting period.

...

Tang Huan paid enough attention to the deal between Zheru and Apple, and specially set up a project team to handle it, while he himself was preparing to fly to the east coast of the United States.

But before that, Tang Huan drove to Lin's house, intending to have Lin Qingxia as a companion, but before his butt was hot, he was forced out of the house by the other party.

Why do I feel that I was kicked out by you? Tang Huan asked helplessly.

I'm not blaming you. Lin Qingxia gave Tang Huan a blank look, That girl, Lixia, has always been quick to talk, and she left out our relationship at home.

Then you should teach your sister a lesson. Tang Huan shook his head dumbfoundingly, I'm going to chat with my uncle and aunt for a while.

If they ask, when will we get married, how do you answer? Lin Qingxia asked back angrily, and without waiting for Tang Huan to answer, she scolded, Don't think I don't know about your colorful life , even if I get on the pirate ship and I can’t get off, I have to tolerate you, but my family is very conservative and not so easy to talk about.”

Tang Huan rubbed his nose, put his arms around Lin Qingxia's shoulders, and changed the subject evasively, Let's get in the car first, and I have something to discuss with you.

Let's talk about it here. Tang Huan dragged Lin Qingxia into the car with half push and half push, and then she was fascinated by the raindrops of kisses.

I knew you had bad intentions. Lin Qingxia, who had recovered from her senses, beat the man's chest a few times coquettishly.

Tang Huan enjoyed a different kind of massage with a smile on his face, Why don't you move out, or it would be inconvenient to meet you.

You are so beautiful. Lin Qingxia snapped.

We can specially decorate a large study room with the books you want to read... the persistent Tang Huan tempted.

After Lin Qingxia's eyes flashed with longing, he punched Tang Huan hard again, You are a big villain, and you want to coax me again, so as to satisfy your mind.

Then let's not discuss this topic for now. Tang Huan, who had seen through the trick, laughed, and talked about the purpose of the trip, The inauguration ceremony of the new president of the United States is coming soon, I was invited to watch the fun, and you come on.

It's boring, I won't go. Lin Qingxia refused politely.

It's good to gain some insight. Tang Huan's claws quietly penetrated into Lin Qingxia's clothes.

Are you threatening me? Lin Qingxia kicked Tang Huan with a flushed face.

Aren't we negotiating amicably? Tang Huan lowered his head with a smile, and bit Lin Qingxia's small mouth, while making up his mind. It is necessary to break through the reserved fortress that the opponent has rebuilt because he has not seen him for many days.

There's really nothing I can do about you. Lin Qingxia finally gave in. When are we leaving?

The ceremony is on the 20th. We're leaving now, and we can play for a few more days. Satisfied, Tang Huan gently stroked Lin Qingxia's hair.

It's been too long, and my family and I can't explain it. Lin Qingxia shook her head, Why don't you go ahead and wait until the 19th, and I'll go to Washington by myself, and you can pick me up when the time comes.

Tang Huan pondered for a moment. I feel that the result is not bad now, and I can no longer press it step by step, so I nodded and agreed.

...

Although Lin Qingxia refused to go to the east coast in advance, Tang Huan still set off. He came to Harvard University to visit Zhuang Menghua.

Some time ago, through personal relationship, Tang Huan sent Zhuang Menghua to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway for an internship.

This time at Harvard University, in addition to caring about whether the other party is adapting as usual, he also needs to inquire about some information for mutual confirmation from the side.

It turned out that Tang Huan secretly entrusted Buffett to help acquire a shell company earlier. All related matters have been dealt with almost. He wanted to hear the microcosmic situation that Zhuang Menghua actually observed.

To Tang Huan's surprise, Amy Chua and Judy Foster were also here. It seemed that the latter had encountered something unhappy and was being resolved.

What's wrong? Tang Huan asked casually after drinking the water.

There is a guy who claims to be a fan of Judy, who always mails her some messy letters, which annoys her almost to a nervous breakdown. No, Judy feels that someone is following her again these two days. Amy Chua chirped about the ins and outs over again.

Tang Huan nodded, In this case, we can only think broadly.

This is my internship experience, which records some of the situation of the shell company I observed. Zhuang Menghua handed over a notebook.

The attitude is quite serious. Tang Huan praised, opened it and flipped through it, then nodded slightly, it seems that the next step of the plan can be started.

Hey, Boss Tang, don't forget to pay your salary. Zhuang Menghua reached out and shook Tang Huan's eyes.

You little money addict, take it yourself. Tang Huan cursed with a smile, and put the wallet in the other party's hand.

You have a conscience. Zhuang Menghua happily drew two banknotes, and then returned the wallet, Judy is going back to Yale University, you can act as a bodyguard to send it, it can be regarded as exorcising evil spirits.

Why do I feel like you're going round and round and calling me ugly? Tang Huan shook his head dumbfounded, and then his eyes fell on Judy Foster, You don't have a psychological shadow, do you?

It's not that serious. I ran here to relax and feel better now. Judy Foster shook her head, I'll go back now.

...

Surprisingly, when Tang Huan sent Jodie Foster back to her residence at Yale University, just downstairs, he also had a faint feeling that someone was really spying on the two of them, although Just fleeting, but very clear.

It's really wicked. Tang Huan murmured to himself.

We seem to be doing an experiment to prove something. Tang Huan hugged Judy Foster and whispered in her ear.

The smart Judy Foster immediately realized something, and couldn't help asking nervously in a low voice, Do you also have that strange feeling of being followed?

Not sure. Tang Huan patted the other person's back comfortingly, Let's go back to the car and pretend to be intimate, and see if we can lure the snake out of the hole.

Naturally, the two of them couldn't be troubled by this kind of play on the spot, and soon they walked towards the parking lot in a very intimate manner, as if a pair of lovers who were reluctant to part ways wanted to take advantage of the last chance before parting to have a good time.

After getting into the car, Tang Huan and Judy Foster cooperated with each other to create the illusion that they were accomplishing something good. Of course, being bumped and touched really has a different taste, but the atmosphere is not right.

With the slight shaking of the car, the person hiding in the dark finally couldn't bear it anymore, showed his figure, and walked over quickly.

Tang Huan, who had been tense all the time, relaxed a little when he discovered this situation.

It has to be said that this guy refused to show his face before, and the psychological pressure he caused was too great.

That person has appeared, let's work harder to attract his attention. With a sneer on his face, Tang Huan took off Jodie Foster's shoes and placed her little feet on the car window superior.

This trick really worked, the guy quickened his pace, and just got close to the car door, and when he wanted to watch the fun inside, the car door opened suddenly, causing him to cry out in pain, and fell to the ground covering his face.

Tang Huan, who jumped out of the car quickly, rewarded the other party's two big feet without mercy, and asked his origin angrily.

Passing by, because I saw this car moving by itself, I came over curiously to have a look. This guy was also clever, begging for mercy while he was sophistrying.

Tang Huan stepped on the opponent's hand, and said teasingly, Is there something good hidden, do you want to show it to us?

This person had no chance to resist, and was finally beaten out of anger. After pulling his hand desperately, a donkey rolled and avoided, but Tang Huan's warm feet followed closely, kicking the person until he rolled his eyes.

It wasn't until the guy hugged his head and really begged for mercy that Tang Huan withdrew his feet and found a loaded pistol from his body.

This is a dangerous person. Let's call the police. Tang Huan said to Judy Foster who had already put on his shoes and got out of the car.

Jodie Foster originally wanted to calm things down, but when he saw the pistol ready to fire at any time, his face turned pale immediately, and he followed Tang Huan's suggestion.
