Rebirth of the Tech Madman

The company's handover went so smoothly, it's all thanks to everyone here, but there are more serious situations waiting for everyone to deal with.

After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Huan's face turned serious, As a free port of Hong Kong, if the global economic situation is good, life will be comfortable, otherwise, it will be sad. According to my inference, the international trade situation in the second half of the year is not optimistic. While we are busy getting the company straightened out, we also have to prepare for the winter.”

Because Tang Huan secretly burst Xiangjiang's real estate bubble in advance, this negative energy began to be continuously released. It will not wait until the second half of the year to be directly detonated by external political factors as in the original time and space, causing everyone to panic all day long.

This is what Tang Huan likes to hear. After all, he is also on the stage now, and it is better for Xiangjiang to be less chaotic.

It can be said that this factor is under the control of Tang Huan, but the other factors are beyond his reach.

For example, whether the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher will still fall in front of the Great Hall of the People in a historic way, which will cause the Hong Kong stock market to fluctuate, Tang Huan cannot be sure, it can only be decided by God.

However, for this accidental factor, Tang Huan never expects it to be a decisive condition.

There is another more important factor, that is, various signs are increasingly indicating that a new round of international economic turmoil marked by the Latin American sovereign debt crisis will still occur according to historical inertia.

Since the most influential external factors that caused the explosive deterioration of Xiangjiang's economic situation in the second half of the year cannot be avoided, Tang Huan must of course plan ahead.

I hope that all the loan agreements with major banks will be settled before mid-August. The black-hearted Tang Huan made no secret of his intention to drag the bank down.

In his view, with the advantage of information asymmetry at his disposal, the bank's money will not be borrowed for nothing, but will be borrowed after the loan is exhausted. Only in this way can we use our strength to leverage greater future interests and accomplish more achievements.

This is just a briefing, and there is no need to make any resolutions, as long as everyone reaches an ideological consensus.

so. Tang Huan put the matter to an end without much effort, and then prepared to leave for England.

...

This year's American summer, the box office performance of et Aliens shocked the audience.

Since its full release on June 11. et Alien will be held on June 13th, June 20th, June 27th,

It topped the box office list for three consecutive weekends, and the box office revenue is even more exaggerated, with two $12 million and one $13 million, which can be called unprecedented.

And looking at the trend, this is just the beginning. The media reported that the copies of the et Alien movie in green bags were sent to various theaters without stopping, which shows its commercial value. .

Seeing that Tang Huan made a lot of money during this summer vacation, but he was a bit inactive. Warner boss Steve Ross can't help feeling a little impatient.

Just as Steve Ross's temper was getting worse and worse, his subordinates finally did a comfortable thing and found Spielberg, who has been so busy recently.

To be honest, Steve Ross really didn't expect that a children's film with a simple plot like et Aliens would be so popular.

How could such a big bargain be picked up by Tang Huan?

Steve Ross, who was scratching his heart, forcibly resisted the idea of ​​being mad with jealousy, and began to talk to Spielberg about the licensing of the video game adaptation of et Aliens, and he was secretly ruthless. There must be no more opportunities to waste.

Stephen, congratulations on your et Alien being a great success. By the way, I heard that your Haunter also performed well at the box office. Over 100 million is a sure thing.

Steve Ross laughed exaggeratedly, It seems that this year is Spielberg's miracle year.

While Spielberg was dealing with Steve Ross's compliments, he was a little uneasy because he was basically sure that the other party wanted to get the authorization to adapt the video game et aliens.

Now there is a rumor. That's the most recent period, Spielberg has earned $500,000 a day.

This figure may be a bit exaggerated, but Spielberg does earn a lot of money, so he is very grateful to Tang Huan for his selfless support.

However, there is one thing that makes Spielberg more entangled. At the beginning, Tang Huan pre-ordered the authorization of the video game adaptation of ET Aliens with the convenience of film investors. But because of this, ea seemed careless and has been busy with the development of games for the personal computer platform.

Because Tang Huan promised that if a third party is willing to break through the terms and conditions and is willing to offer a price of more than 30 million US dollars to compete for the authorization of the video game adaptation of et Alien, then Spielberg can decide on his own, so Spielberg is very supportive. The grievance of ea disappeared, the big boss respected him so much, what else did he want.

But now that Steve Ross suddenly jumped out, Spielberg couldn't calm down again. The other party won't really be willing to pay 30 million US dollars, right? If this is the case, how should I decide?

Spielberg was at war between heaven and man, and he heard Steve Ross ask: I heard that the authorization to adapt the video game et Aliens is still in your hands?

Not exactly, EA has already reserved the authorization to adapt the video game et aliens. Spielberg added in a deep voice, but it also stipulates liquidated damages, as long as someone is willing to pay more than 30 million U.S. dollars If the price is low, I can decide on my own whether to authorize the video game adaptation of et Aliens.

Interesting rule. Steve Ross snorted disdainfully, I have to say, Tang Huanong's article seems to be very attractive on the surface, but in fact it is that he firmly established the policy at a low price. Locked in the authorization of et Alien to adapt the video game, in the end, it is you who suffer the financial loss.

Spielberg smiled noncommittally. He didn't want to comment on the intrigue in the mall. Anyway, Tang Huan was kind and he had a personal experience.

Do you think my accusation of Tang Huan's hypocrisy is unfounded? Steve Ross smiled slightly, How about this, I will offer 30 million US dollars. You authorize the video game adaptation of et Aliens to Atari When the time comes, look again, Tang Huan won't be so magnanimous anymore?

It has to be said that Steve Ross, the shopping mall hero, has a very deep reputation. He didn't directly say that he wanted to buy the authorization to adapt the video game et Aliens. The current method of soliciting dissension is adopted.

I saw Spielberg's expression on his face. Steve Ross was secretly proud that $30 million was enough to make a person feel suspicious.

In fact, if Steve Ross could read minds and know what Spielberg was thinking, he would definitely spout old blood and pass out.

Steve Ross wants to use 30 million US dollars to buy the et Alien adaptation video game license. To test whether Tang Huan pretended to be magnanimous, Spielberg remembered Tang Huan's other promise, that is, if EA hadn't started the et Alien video game project by the end of the year, then he was willing to pay Amblin $30 million for the company.

Isn't this called temperance? Tang Huan only did not intervene directly in order to admonish the increasingly arrogant subordinates in EA. Otherwise, et aliens must have begun to adapt video games.

After such a comparison, it is judged that Steve Ross is really a villain.

However, Spielberg was a little surprised that someone was willing to bid 30 million US dollars to compete for the authorization to adapt the video game et aliens.

Seeing that Spielberg was silent, Steve Ross raised the price boldly, How about $32 million? You know, for you, this is a complete windfall. Can EA offer this price?

Okay. I agree to the deal in principle. Spielberg nodded.

On the surface, Spielberg seems to be convinced by Steve Ross's attitude of spending money, but in fact, he has other plans.

Judging from EA's current response. Its executives really seem to have no time to take into account the et aliens video game project.

As a result, Tang Huan may really have to pay Amblin $30 million at the end of the year.

Rather than that, it would be better to sell the authorization of the video game adaptation of et aliens to Steve Ross. Anyway, this income will also fall on the name of Amblin Company, and Tang Huan, as a shareholder, not only Don't lose your bet embarrassingly. You can also share the profits together.

Such a multiplicity of actions, why not do it, Spielberg feels that he has a clear conscience.

Agreed in principle? Steve Ross asked with flickering eyes, Could it be that you have other requests?

Yes. Spielberg nodded emphatically, I want to retain the right to art direct the video game adaptation of et Aliens.

Speaking of this, Spielberg sighed, Although I am not familiar with the video game industry, I have also heard that the quality of video games is now uneven, and there are even games such as pornographic massacres of Indians. Of course, I'm sure Atari wouldn't do that, but I have other artistic requirements.

Steve Ross nodded slightly with an understanding face, and said grandly, No problem, then do as you say.

It has to be said that Steve Ross has always spent a lot of money on those who are useful.

In the original time and space, celebrities such as Barbra Streisand Spielberg were all attracted by Steve Ross at a high price.

But after Tang Huan was born, Steve Ross used these tricks against Spielberg, and the effect was obviously greatly reduced.

When Spielberg said goodbye and left, Steve Ross looked up to the sky and laughed, although he didn't expect to defeat Atari's number one rival ea , but it can severely defeat the opponent, and at the same time strengthen Atari's strength, which is already a rare best of both worlds.

Furthermore, his spending a lot of money was not spent in vain, and Spielberg wanted this kind of favor to praise him.

Steve Ross started from inheriting the funeral home business run by his father-in-law, stepped into the parking lot industry, and finally extended his business field to Warner.

This foundation was established step by step by Steve Ross, who galloped between Wall Street and the Mafia with his flexible wrist and extraordinary wit, completing various intricate negotiations.

During this period, Steve Ross has encountered countless opponents, but no matter how difficult the opponent is, he can find a way to deal with it.

But Tang Huan, a Silicon Valley nouveau riche and a lucky man in Hollywood, made Steve Ross extremely dizzy.

Tang Huan, who was born in a first-class prestigious school, is engaged in the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley. His down-to-earth and successful entrepreneurial journey has won the admiration of countless young people, and his outstanding eloquence has won the favor of Wall Street.

This kind of success, which is like divine assistance, makes Steve Ross and his like, who have climbed to the status of master through various intrigues, inevitably feel bitter in their hearts.

What's even more exaggerated is that, strictly speaking, ea, which is firmly on Atari's head, and United Artists, which has been in constant friction with Warner, are all Tang Huan's side jobs.

Whenever he thinks of this, Steve Ross, who feels more and more at a disadvantage, can only describe it as embarrassing.

Now, by snatching the authorization to adapt the video game ET Aliens and sniping EA, Steve Ross was naturally overjoyed and lost his composure.

Don't think I only have this trick. Steve Ross, who slowly suppressed his smile, said to himself, then picked up the phone and asked the assistant, Is Ervin Kershner here yet?

Sir, he called just now and said he is still on the way and needs to wait for another half an hour. The crisp female voice replied.

Steve Ross put down the phone, a look of ruthlessness flashed across his face, It's not only United Artists who can produce 007, Warner can too.

It turns out that Warner recently invested in an unofficial 007 movie, which is the never say never and cruise missile in the original time and space.

Because of copyright reasons, Cruise Missile has been in constant trouble. It was not until this year that the lawsuit was completely settled, the dust settled, and the project could be officially approved.

And Warner, who has been coveting United Artists' exclusive access to 007, made an investment without hesitation, and chose the director of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back; Kershner Erwin Kershner to direct, and invited Sean Connery, the first actor of James Bond, came to play the leading role.

Obviously, Warner, who was attacking in two directions, planned to give Tang Huan a look. To be continued.
