Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Seeing John Warnock and Charles Gershke couldn't hide the joy on their faces, Tang Huan wrung his fingers and said leisurely: I will hand over OpenType, the two major standards, pagemaker, and the three major software to the operation. ⊙4⊙5⊙Chinese∙∽↗, remember, we can’t be superior just because we have the first-mover advantage in the field of desktop publishing. The first thing you need to do is to implement an aggressive sales strategy, staking the land and grasping the market share.

In the original time and space, relying on the company that started, the vast majority of its profits from the beginning of the 1980s came from the realization of the solution on the printer, that is, the high licensing fee of the raster image processor.

In this period, the mode of operation is still a typical engineer’s thinking, spitting out is a nail, the sales strategy is not flexible, and it relies entirely on original technology to enter the market.

The scheme realizes a chip solution similar to that of a smart phone. Qualcomm has a large number of 3G patents, and the things it sells are also black, and mobile phone manufacturers can only recognize it.

However, the market has never been short of spoilers, so MediaTek appeared, and Qualcomm couldn't be at ease.

The above market situation is roughly the same.

But with the rise of technology, many new platforms based on this processor have emerged, and third-party implementations have become quite common. Naturally, other manufacturers will no longer be obediently expensive. And the downside that it usually only runs on a few specific pieces of hardware. It is also often a step behind in supporting new platforms.

This kind of passivity is most obvious in the high-end and low-end fields. With the new features provided by new hardware, printers that achieve higher indicators cannot be realized in a timely manner; while low-end printers cannot accept expensive licensing fees. .

Many cheap laser printers simply don't support it, and their drivers don't use it at all.

When it is necessary to use it on such a printer, a free software called , which belongs to a type of interpreter, can be used.

Use the host computer's CPU to rasterize the result as a large bitmap. Send to a non-printer to print the document.

At the same time, the document can also be previewed on the computer monitor, and converted into raster graphics such as png and vector format files such as pdf.

In the final analysis, it is because as the hardware performance of the computer continues to improve, the cpu is faster and the memory is larger, the implementation plan is the same as that of the Hanka, and it does not need to be executed by a separate hardware, and the mainframe of the personal computer can do it all.

on the other hand. By monopolizing the printer market, it caused dissatisfaction between Microsoft and Apple.

So they joined forces to try to pull them down from their dominance.

Microsoft licensed the interpreter it bought to Apple; and Apple no longer kept pace with it. For example, its own printers did not only use the solution implementation, and licensed its new font format truetype to Microsoft.

If a technical standard is mixed into this field, no matter how successful it was at the beginning, it will become besieged and precarious.

If you only rely on living, if you go all the way to the dark, it is estimated that like most Silicon Valley companies, it will either go bankrupt or be acquired.

Fortunately, it entered the consumer software market in time, launched it, and got the future flagship product by chance.

More importantly, those who entered the 1990s, like EA, learned capital operations, bought the opponent's products, stopped what should be stopped, and merged what should be merged, which can be regarded as a taste of the true essence of monopoly methods.

Tang Huan, who is familiar with the gains and losses of the road to rise, naturally has to avoid some mistakes.

Now, relying on Zheru, the strength is not comparable to the shabby situation in the start-up stage of the company in the original time and space, and the richness of the product line is inherent, so there is no need to kill chickens and eggs on the Internet.

If a technical standard does not have a large number of partners to actively follow and support it, then it can only be played by itself.

How to make the collaborators rush forward sincerely? The only way is to share interests.

The policy given by Tang Huan is not to be too dark about the licensing fee with opentype, and the main goal is to promote.

The realization of a moderately priced solution may attract strong competitors to its own laser printers, but the printer market has always been a pattern of strong players.

The low cost of using opentype can attract some celebrities to create their own fonts, and they can make a little money through the authorization of fonts, which will undoubtedly bring popularity to the entire Fangyuan computer platform.

The real source of profit should be pagemaker, , and these three major software.

In the past, Tang Huan, John Warnock, and Charles Geschke mainly exchanged technology, but now they focus on face-to-face instruction on business management, and the two nodded their heads incessantly.

...

The annual developer conference in San Francisco. It wasn't just desktop publishing that showed up. It's just that it is a new product that has been waiting for a long time. This is the first place. Tomorrow there will be the latest technologies such as databases to be introduced, and Tang Huan has to continue hosting.

Although various entertainments continued one after another, Tang Huan still declined the dinner and went home.

Because of the Qingming period, my aunt Tang Yun returned to the United States from Singapore, and when she visited the grave, she paid her respects solemnly. Tell the ancestors that Tang's lineage has branched out and scattered Ye Yunyun.

No matter how busy Tang Huan is, he still wants to have dinner with the old man and have a family reunion.

Aunt Tang Yun was sitting in the study at this time, wearing reading glasses, flipping through the ledger and scratching the abacus.

Didn't I prepare a calculator for you? Tang Huan said with a smile.

I'm not used to it. Besides, my business is nothing more than a few restaurants and real estate. It's very simple. Aunt Tang Yun shook her head, I've been in Asia for so long. After walking around Ma and other places, I found that the economic situation is quite different from before. No wonder your cheap uncle insisted on letting Tang Xuan marry a rich family in Baodao and actively invest in it, and I plan to use some of the funds to do the same.

Seeing Tang Huan's noncommittal smile, Aunt Tang Yun took off her reading glasses and snorted, I know you have a different wealth now, so you don't care about such a small amount of money.

Impossible, fly legs are also meat. Tang Huan quickly waved his hands.

You don't mean what you say. Aunt Tang Yun picked up the account book and shook it, You are clever, the restaurant in Cupertino opened the latest, but now it is the most profitable, and I don't know how many employees care about it. there.

It's nothing, it's nothing more than handing over the money from the left hand to the right hand, which is also called the fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields. Tang Huan replied triumphantly.

You have so many ideas, don't forget to set up a special fund for my two good grandsons, one million dollars each. Aunt Tang Yun ordered seriously.

Tang Huan nodded quickly, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, why should he be so pampered?

At this time, Tang Wenmao sent several documents, so Tang Huan went back to the living room and started to read them with a teacup.

Carter, who had already stepped down from the presidency, after more than two months of recuperation, finally calmed down and took part in social affairs unwilling to be lonely. For example, he agreed to serve in the Shennong Foundation and wanted to come over to meet Tang Huan immediately.

This big Buddha, please move it at last. Tang Huan laughed happily.

Tang Wenmao nodded, and secretly glanced at the bottom file.

Bao Dao specially sent someone to discuss with me about the itinerary of the business delegation. Mr. Jiang wants to meet me? Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, The factory I opened in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park last year had an output value of several billion US dollars, and the supporting industries driven by it are developing in full swing, and he finally can't sit still.

Tang Huan finally picked up the last document, and after glancing at it twice, his smiling face suddenly became as cold as frost.

With a bang, the teacup in Tang Huan's hand fell heavily to the ground.

Tang Wenmao was terrified. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced. I knew that the consequences would be serious, so I put the document at the end.

Having been in this time and space for more than two years, Tang Huan seldom gets angry. After all, he has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he has already seen through most of the things, so it is not worth his troubles.

But now, Tang Huan finally got angry.

Aunt Tang Yun heard the noise, walked out of the study, took a look, and then asked the servant to clean it up, and said lightly: Your status is extraordinary now, and your every move will be watched and observed by your subordinates. You can't let your energy-raising skills be left behind. .”

Tang Huan hummed, got up and paced back and forth for a while, picked up the document and read it again, and said with a sneer, This group of people only have so much to do.

...

According to the plan, Deng Lijun will hold her fifth solo concert at the Hong Kong Lee Stage in mid-to-late April, and her next stop will be Singapore.

But preparations for the concert here in Xiangjiang began, but Deng Lijun couldn't leave Baodao because she was stuck again on the visa issue.

The root of the matter is that relevant authorities in Baodao arranged for Deng Lijun to perform for a month, but her assistant refused with the statement that Ms. Deng is a UN Children's Goodwill Ambassador, and it is inconvenient to participate in activities with obvious political significance.

In fact, during more than a year in the United States, Deng Lijun was brainwashed by Tang Huan. Jump out of those so-called rules and regulations.

In Tang Huan's words. You are not part of the system. If you don't eat imperial food, why do you always have to be yelled at by politicians?

When the passport turmoil breaks out, even if you take care of it a little bit, you won't be dejected to flee to the United States.

Now you find that you have a very high reputation in the mainland, and you plan to hold it in your hands as before, and play it as a good card?

According to Tang Huan, after Deng Lijun returned to Baodao last year. In line with the official intentions, until the end of the year, the activities will be done with utmost benevolence and righteousness.

In this regard, Deng Lijun naturally obeyed.

Therefore, she acquiesced to the assistant's refusal this time.

Originally, Tang Huan and Mr. Song, who was in charge of the Information Bureau, had a tacit understanding. Since she would not go to the mainland, then Baodao would not toss about some activities that labeled her.

Deng Lijun continues to pursue her music dream. Go to Baodao for whatever you want, and everyone is safe and sound. Good.

This refusal to arrange a one-month performance for the labor force should have put an end to the matter.

But the reality is that things backfired. Some media in Taiwan began to stand on the commanding heights of morality and bombarded Deng Lijun with public opinion.

Some newspapers even labeled Deng Lijun as a huge fortune of unknown origin. You are a star who has been out of business for more than a year, and you have been living in the United States for more than a year. Where can you get the capital to donate to girls' education and set up scholarships in Baodao?

Especially, why are your two assistants blonde babes?

These reports seem messy and messy at first, but as long as you think about it a little, you can guess that someone is stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

For these disturbances, Deng Lijun did not respond, and stayed at home thinking about the Chinese style album that she had been preparing.

After Tang Huan saw the document, he had only one feeling that this group of people had only a little chance of bullying women.

Lao Jun performed for a month, and he could really treat people as coolies. The conditions on the Golden Horse side were hard. Thinking about it, his scalp was numb, and even big men might not be able to stand it.

...

During this trip to the United States, Mr. Song accompanied He Yici, the director of the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, but before leaving, he suddenly received a message from Zheru Baodao Company that the business visit was cancelled.

At that time, Mr. Song was dumbfounded, and said to himself, Boss Tang, I can guess what you are doing, but we can't play the trick of being angry at the crown.

There are many factions on Treasure Island. If the following people want to claim credit, I can't clearly express my opposition.

Moreover, Mr. Jiang, who is not in good health, doesn't have the energy to know about these bits and pieces.

On the contrary, he still attaches great importance to your business delegation, and specially asked me to communicate with you in advance, so that we can have a good conversation during the meeting.

Now that you've clicked the pick, how can I deal with it.

He Yici is just a technical official, so naturally he doesn't understand the thoughts of bureaucrats and politicians. When he heard that the business mission was cancelled, he was anxious at the time, How could this happen? Acer, Lianhua, Hon Hai...a bunch of companies, How can I explain what I'm waiting for to pick up the project.

Mr. Song snorted lightly, thinking that no matter how difficult you are to the people below, they will not dare to do anything to you. If I dissatisfy the immediate superior, it will only take a few minutes to throw away the black hat.

Seeing the displeasure on Mr. Song's face, He Yici coughed lightly and regained his composure, Since the business delegation has been cancelled, shall we still go to America?

Of course I'm going, otherwise, we won't be able to do business. Mr. Song replied angrily.

...

After getting off the plane, Mr. Song did not see Tang Huan. His personal assistant Tang Wenmao picked him up and was in charge of the schedule.

In this regard, Mr. Song didn't feel that he was being treated slowly. Who made Tang Huan make such a fortune so quickly?

Besides, this Tang Wenmao is Tang Huan's distant cousin. He is definitely a person with a low position but with real power, so he should not be underestimated.

After checking into the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel in the affluent area of ​​San Francisco, Mr. Song had nothing to say. With such a high hospitality standard, he couldn't find a place to pick it up.

After Tang Wenmao left, Mr. Song rushed to the newspaper to learn about the local situation.

When I opened the San Francisco Chronicle, the headline was: The darling of Wall Street targets new areas, and the desktop publishing system triggers an industrial revolution.

Mr. Song understands that this is a new product launched by Tang Huan's company, the two major standards of opentype, and the three major software pagemaker,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and the three major software pagemakers, but apart from knowing how miraculous it is, I really don't know the specific functions.

Mr. Song then turned to the financial section, and the headline read: New personal computer products are coming out one after another, and Apple’s launch drives up the stock price. The spokesman claimed the move was about balancing personal financial relationships.

Mr. Song raised his eyebrows, turned to the entertainment page, and the headline changed to: The ownership of MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood companies, has been settled, and the buyer is the Middle East consortium and billionaire Tang Huan.

Mr. Song gasped, and finally turned to the sports page. The headline was very interesting: The three major league teams in the Oakland Stadium turned out to be a family, and their owners were both Tang Huan.

Mr. Song wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself: This is troublesome. (To be continued...)
