To be honest, Tang Huan is not satisfied with the acquisition target of Hasbro, because its toy audience is relatively young.

However, other traditional toy manufacturers are currently rushing to be the trendsetters in the video game industry, especially after Mattel disclosed ea's movements in the capital market in order to resist possible hostile takeovers, and all traditional toy companies have a bullish market, and their mentality is also different. Then it changed, and I felt how amazing I was.

If ea plans to enter the field of traditional toys, if you don't want to be taken advantage of, there are really not many choices. Therefore, Hasbro, which is in a difficult situation, has become the first choice.

As far as Hasbro's existing management is concerned, its headquarters is located in Providence, Rhode Island, in the northeastern United States. Even if it is acquired, it can be regarded as the real sky high and the emperor far away. Objectively speaking, it is more credible.

Of course, the so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, only in terms of geographical distance from Silicon Valley, Providence, founded in 1636, is one of the oldest cities in the United States, and Brown University, one of the Ivy League schools, is located Here, its economy is actually very developed.

After Hasbro fell into the embrace of EA, the immediate benefit is that the accumulated debts of 4☆, w△ww. are paid by someone, and there must be sufficient funds for future development.

As the saying goes, if you eat people's mouths softly and take others' hands short, Tang Huan received the highest standard of hospitality.

His trip was not empty-handed. Instead, they brought a batch of Fangyuan computers.

Obviously. Like United Artists in Hollywood. Although Hasbro has been decentralized, its information management must keep up. In other words, its supervision has been strengthened.

Stephen Hasenfeld, who was questioned about his ability and qualifications before, is 39 years old this year. Under his leadership, Hasbro, which was originally time and space, grew at an astonishing speed in the 1980s. It surpassed Mattel for a while, and dwarfed even Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and the Walton family's Wal-Mart.

Sadly, Stephen Hassenfeld passed away untimely in the late 1980s.

For this point, Tang Huan had to show enough respect to Stephen Hasenfeld, who is now down and down, so everyone got along far better than expected.

Now Hasbro's profit mainly depends on Mr. Egghead. As for the special forces, due to the impact of the anti-Vietnam War, they have not slowed down until now.

Acquired TV program companies, such as children's programs produced by them. It has a good influence.

But this is also where Tang Huan is secretly dissatisfied. It is obvious that the toy audience is too young. Fortunately, he is not short of money now. Through continuous investment, Hasbro can reach its goal in the next few years. requirements, thereby supporting EA through the inevitable collapse of home video game consoles in North America.

After listening to various reports, Tang Huan said: Judging from the operation effect of the toy brands acquired by Hasbro in the past, the multi-brand strategy is still very successful. It is somewhat similar to the production model of a film company. It wins with one stroke. Therefore, I feel like we can continue to build on that.”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan looked at Stephen Hassenfeld with a slight smile, and waved his hand generously, If Hasbro has any promising targets, feel free to report them, and I will support you.

If you have money, you are an uncle, you can buy it if you want, Stephen Hasenfeld, who smiled wryly in his heart, nodded repeatedly.

The sluggishness should come to an end here. It's time to redesign and put it on the market. Tang Huan pondered that in the original time and space of the 1980s, the comeback of the special forces toy may not have nothing to do with Reagan's tough policies. Inevitably, the Star Wars program generated interest in military-themed toys enough to offset the depression caused by anti-Vietnam War sentiments that arose years earlier.

We have enough resources to develop comprehensively in the fields of toys, animation, traditional games, and video games. The future industry trend is bound to be so cross-field. Any product in movies, video games, and animation will win a lot in the market. After the success, there will inevitably be related peripheral economic effects. Tang Huan analyzed confidently, and everyone nodded, and fully understood the real purpose of ea, a local tycoon, in buying Hasbro.

Now Hasbro's peers are focusing their energy on video games, and Hasbro just took advantage of the opportunity to aggressively expand the traditional field. Tang Huan's eyes fell on Stephen Hassenfeld, I said before Yes, supporting your acquisition of good projects is not empty talk.

I will definitely start the investigation as soon as possible. Stephen Hassenfeld nodded again.

I've brought several plans. Tang Huan waved his hand, and the assistant brought a stack of documents.

Undoubtedly, Tang Huan took out Hasbro's masterpieces in the original time and space: My Little Pony, Transformers, and The Valiant.

The original manuscript of My Little Pony was designed by American illustrator and designer in 1982, and completed in cooperation with sculptor Charles and manager Steve.

When the patent application for My Little Pony was successful in 1983, he was already working at Hasbro.

Therefore, the operation of My Little Pony is very simple, just follow the prescription and find someone directly, and the marketing promotion should not have too much time limit.

The operation of Transformers is relatively complicated, but it has a deep relationship with Hasbro from the beginning.

As early as 1970, Japan's takara company bought the right to use Hasbro's leading product dolls from Hasbro. Because Japanese children didn't like toys like soldiers and soldiers at that time, takara company changed to a new look. It became the Biochemical Human Transformation series.

In 1974, Takara improved Biochemical Man to MSI Superman. That is, a group of movable minifigures with transparent bodies, silver-plated heads, and a height of about one centimeter. And created a series of stories for it. Released in comic form.

certainly. At this time, MSI Superman has nothing to do with deformation and robots.

Until 1982, the MSI Superman series began to add the role of robots, expressing the previous humanoid technology in the form of robots, and launched the MSI Robot series, some of which can be easily transformed into vehicles such as aircraft. tool.

In Tang Huan's view, the popularity of any product in the market is inseparable from the general trend.

When Hasbro introduced the MSI Robot series under the name of Transformers in 1984, it was in publicity and promotion strategies. Let Marvel Comics create related comics. And produced the cartoon album Transformers.

In terms of science fiction concepts, the great success of the movie E.T. Alien released in 1982, and Reagan's Star Wars Project speech in 1983 may have played a certain role in promoting it.

In other words, even if a mature Transformers toy can be put in front of consumers now, apart from novelty, it may not lead to popularity.

Therefore, the operation of Transformers is relatively complicated, but it is indeed possible to do preparatory work now.

As for Valentine Heroes, it is based on Hasbro's existing toys, an improved version of the Big Heroes series.

After these documents have been circulated. There is only one thought in everyone's mind, this is really a big deal. Not to mention comics and cartoons, there are clear copyright requirements.

In addition, isn't EA's acquisition of Hasbro to help it develop the video game market? Why is the computer mentioned in the plan?

When Stephen Hasenfeld raised questions on behalf of everyone, Tang Huan smiled lightly, Don't worry, my computer is enough to provide practical functions and improve work efficiency.

Now the second-generation Fangyuan computer is relying on the database-centered information management system to drive market demand, but it has not done anything in graphics and image processing, so it is natural to take this opportunity to develop this field.

Since people nowadays don't know how to tap the potential of personal computers, Tang Huan naturally has to take on the responsibility of a pioneer officer. With such a chain of development, the technological hegemony in the open and in the dark will naturally come to an end. It was formed.

But the people in front of them obviously couldn't understand the significance of these layouts, and Tang Huan didn't need to explain them in detail.

In addition, I have a good way to reduce production costs. I can go to a special zone in mainland China to open a factory. Tang Huan made a confident gesture, I will do the endorsement, it is absolutely safe.

Compared with high-tech industries such as computers, toy production does not require so high quality workers, and can provide a large number of job opportunities.

You know, with the return of a large number of educated youths there, the employment pressure is increasing. Therefore, there is nothing that can help ordinary people more than job opportunities.

Under Tang Huan's humble and gentle appearance, there is an undeniable strength. Hasbro's management team headed by Stephen Hassenfeld quickly became obedient.

Any acquisition is not a simple purchase and everything will be fine. If it cannot be digested and integrated, it will lose its meaning.

When Tang Huan came to Hasbro's headquarters, he was most concerned about this point. After all, Stephen Hasenfeld's excellent management ability had been proved in the original time and space, but because of the previous troubles, he took it under his account by chance.

Seeing that the communication with Stephen Hassenfeld was free of any knots, Tang Huan stopped staying and set off across the Atlantic to Paris, France.

While reading the newspaper on the way, Tang Huan couldn't help sighing for Las Vegas. The media were still reporting on the safety issues caused by the fire there, and its tourism industry was destined to experience a recession.

Speaking of it, Las Vegas is really tragic. After the fire at the MGM Grand Hotel on November 21, 1980, it was 90 days later. That is, February 10 this year. There was also a fire at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Fortunately, the firefighters have previous experience. The fatality rate of toxic fumes was greatly reduced, and only 8 people were killed, and the cause of the accident was arson by a guy named .

Now, MGM's current boss, Kirk Kerkorian, has a brother and sister for company.

...

Christina is about to give birth, this wealthy daughter, her parents and elder brother have passed away, it is inevitable that there will be no greetings from close relatives at this time. This kind of emotional need has little to do with coquettishness, and Tang Huan really can't just ignore it.

After seeing Tang Huan, Christina really showed a vulnerable side, holding Tang Huan's hand tightly, and said with red eyes: Honey, I thought you wouldn't come.

How is that possible, but I was really busy before. Tang Huan smiled gently, bowed his head and kissed Christina's face.

Honey, how does it feel to have a net worth of 2 billion dollars? Christina was coaxed into a good mood. Holding Tang Huan's hand, he asked coquettishly.

About this question. Many people have made fun of Tang Huan, but his answers are different almost every time, which seems to indicate that his state of mind has changed over time.

I'm used to it, I just hope to be worthy of your favor. Tang Huan launched a tender offensive, making the pregnant woman, the ship queen, smile.

My dear, you are so outstanding. I believe that our child will definitely grow up to be the most honorable and outstanding person in the world in the future. Christina announced proudly.

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, and to tell the truth, even though he has climbed to the current high position as a grassroots, he still doesn't like all kinds of elite theory, but many people around him hold such thoughts , He was powerless to refute anything.

...

What Christina needs from Tang Huan is spiritual and emotional comfort. As for the material aspect, there will naturally be housekeepers and servants busy, and it doesn't look like living in a hospital at all.

After Tang Huan coaxed Christina well, he took the time to inspect the construction of the wafer factory. Its technical strength mainly came from Silicon Valley in the United States, SGS in Italy, Thomson in France, etc., and investors included Tang Huan, Christie Na, Temasek, the royal family of Kuwait, etc.

The current mainstream wafer size is 200 mm in diameter, which is 4 inches. This is limited by the current objective conditions, and it is impractical and thankless to seek a breakthrough.

In terms of semiconductor technology, it is possible to take a step forward. Tang Huan directly chose the latest breakthrough technology of 1.5 microns, naturally for the production of CPU architecture.

The technical issues involved here are too complex. Wearing a safety helmet, Tang Huan squatted in the factory for a few days, until Prince Fahd, who happened to come to Paris, invited him to a banquet, and then it came to an end.

Although the royal family of Kuwait may not necessarily understand its specific industrial status for top-level technological products such as fabs, it has a clear understanding of its value, especially the attention and support given by the French government, which has become an endorsement invisibly.

Therefore, the royal family of Kuwait is very satisfied with this investment, and Prince Fahd directly promised as a representative that if the project is short of money in the future, it will be ok with just one phone call.

In the final analysis, Tang Huan's net worth soared to 2 billion U.S. dollars recently, which has become the highest rating of investment credibility.

Tang Huan naturally welcomed this, and suggested that the two sides could establish a permanent office and establish a closer liaison mechanism.

The reason why Tang Huan cooperates so openly is because he has long seen through that small countries like Kuwait and Singapore, due to their inherent insufficiency in size and population, no matter how much wealth they have, they must try their best to be cautious in terms of the rules of survival. I am too worried that the tail will not be lost, but the way of communication that makes things happen because of people is more important.

In other words, as long as you have a good relationship with the superior, other problems can be easily solved.

...

When Tang Huan was with Christina, he would draw some stick figures for a smile, including some traditional Chinese flowers, birds, fish and insects.

I don't know if it's too attractive, but the baby in Christina's womb finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and was about to be born, while Tang Huan was allowed to wait outside.

For special customers like Christina, the hospital has long been prepared to take all kinds of emergencies into account, and the subsequent natural delivery process made everyone completely relieved.

Looking at the pair of mixed-race children, Tang Huan couldn't help feeling a little more fresh, and murmured in his heart, he could be regarded as having planted seeds in Europe.

Unfortunately, there is no Athena. Tang Huan said to himself.

Christina, who was in good condition after giving birth, took up the conversation, Honey, do you like your daughter too? Let's continue to give birth.

Tang Huan shook his head with a wry smile, A child's coming into this world is just the beginning, and the next education is even more important. Are you sure you can take on more responsibilities competently?

Of course. Christina replied confidently, Now there is a proof that I have already named my two children, named Aristotle Don Onassis and Socrates Don Onassis. Narcissus.

It is the names of famous people like Aristotle and Socrates. The imagination of Westerners in this aspect is really not flattering.

Tang Huan just thought of this, only to hear Christina continue: I also thought of Chinese names for them, didn't they include Tang and Jin, so they were called Tang Jinlong and Tang Jinfeng. They are dragons and phoenixes, they are outstanding enough.

Seeing Christina's smug look, Tang Huan felt the black lines on his forehead, but he had nothing to say.

After all, the fact that the Queen of Ships has learned Chinese culture to this extent shows that she has worked hard.
