Rebirth of the Tech Madman

As soon as Tang Huan arrived in London, England, he received a message that the meeting with the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had been postponed.

Brother is always busy, and the itinerary was planned at least a week in advance. Why did you say you disappeared after I flew all the way to England? If I had known this, I might as well go to Spain to watch the World Cup. Tang Huan was very pleased Unhappily muttered in my heart.

I only need half an hour to meet, or a purely private meeting. In short, I can't make a trip for nothing. Tang Huan ordered his subordinates to contact the Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street.

Tang Huan flipped through the documents while waiting for a reply, but the result he got was that the other party said vaguely, It's not convenient.

What do you mean? Tang Huan frowned immediately, did he want to air himself and exert some pressure.

He immediately patted the table angrily, and reprimanded: How do you do things? Why is the information delivered to me bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste? Can't you explain the reason for the inconvenience?

Downing Street made such an arrangement on purpose. Although we can see it, we can't do anything about it for a while. The subordinate said aggrievedly about the details of the matter.

You mean to say that the other party wants to play us on purpose, right? Tang Huan narrowed his eyes, Then you all should cooperate and run around a bit to find out the reason.

After his subordinates left, Tang Huan said to himself, Is there any place I want to go to the British? Otherwise, why are they so confident in planning to pinch me?

After thinking of this, Tang Huan took a closer look at the report, game consoles, computers and peripheral equipment software video recorders... Sales have been increasing steadily, and they have not been affected.

As for movies, many movies headed by et aliens also landed in British theaters as usual.

I just flew over from Xiangjiang, and there is nothing serious about it.

Tang Huan was suspicious, when his subordinate finally brought back the answer, and brought over a stack of newspapers from the last week. At the top is The Sun.

It turned out that because of the bully game console that was so popular in the tree, since its hardware platform was cracked, ea has followed suit like Atari to Atari 2600. Lost full control over their own products.

Not only are manufacturers taking advantage of loopholes to produce illegal compatible machines, which are sold to Eastern Europe and Latin America, but also many notorious video games have emerged.

a mouse poop,

A bad pot of porridge is used to describe the bad influence caused by these black sheep. It couldn't be more appropriate.

Of course ea is unwilling to see this situation, but there is no way to do it. Who has driven the video game industry in the North American market into a collective madness.

The Little Overlord game console and Atari 2600, which occupy an absolute market share, have now fully opened their hardware platforms, but let those who are ready to use this free environment to make money raise their glasses and celebrate with joy.

Especially after Atari lost the lawsuit to Activision, the law did not guarantee the equality of its Atari 2600 hardware.

In short, they just want to divide the land from local tyrants, what can you do? The general trend of people's hearts. Nothing more than that, EA and Atari can only recognize each other by pinching their noses.

The bad influence of these bad games has spread to Europe, and some elites in the UK are the first to respond to it.

For example, the famous host of the BBC, Jimmy Savile, lashed out at the show, and even put the responsibility directly on EA.

The British Broadcasting Corporation's ;of the and Pop Music Rankings are self-evident in the music industry, and Jimmy Savile is the ace host of this ace program.

Jimmy Savile's exaggerated style and skinny figure every time he's on the show. Withered face, silver hair like a pot lid buttoned on his head like a helmet, a bright waterproof tracksuit with dazzling jewelry, and a huge cigar in his mouth. It can be described as incomparably coquettish, which is extremely impressive.

Jimmy Savile, who was born in poverty, was originally a coal miner, but injured his waist in an accident in the 1950s, so he turned to tour various small bars and became more and more popular.

By the late 1950s. Jimmy Savile has become the head of 45 dance halls across the UK, and can be said to be the originator of British DJs.

After entering the 1960s, Jimmy Savile appeared in front of the public for the first time as a radio DJ, and even joined the BBC in 1964, and has since become popular throughout Great Britain.

Jimmy Savile has hosted more than 200 programs since the BBC launched the first issue of Pop Music Rankings in the New Year's Day of 1964. His distinctive rap voice and Dada style outfits have become the bright scenery in the program .

In 1975, Jimmy Savile appeared in the programs of ;;it and Let Jimmy Get It Done as the uncle country uncle of all British children.

At the height of the show's ratings, nearly 20,000 kids a week wrote in asking Jimmy Savile to fulfill their wishes, like meeting their favorite football player or being able to sing with their favorite band etc.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jimmy Savile is the king of entertainment hosts in this era, the top idol, and the business card of the BBC.

More importantly, Jimmy Savile is also enthusiastic about charity and very generous. It is said that up to 90% of his income is donated. He raised tens of millions of pounds to build hospitals and schools, and many charitable projects are related to helping young people.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Jimmy Savile is Saint Savile.

Due to Jimmy Savile's huge social influence, he is very close to the British royal family and successive prime ministers.

For example, the current British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is a good friend of Jimmy Savile. He could kick off his shoes at Thatcher's house without notice, sit in front of the fireplace, and watch Christmas programs with Mrs Thatcher.

It is such an extremely energetic uncle of the country, who sternly accused, EA's Xiaobawang game console has affected the healthy growth of our British children. The consequences of public opinion caused by it must not be underestimated.

Especially when Tang Huan had just severely damaged the interests of the British Far East commercial interest groups, Britain, which had withdrawn from the quagmire of the Falklands War, was trying to make amends. It's just that the dog bites the hedgehog and has no way to bite, so he pretends to be kind and prepares to coordinate with Tang Huan.

Now Jimmy Savile has made such a fuss, no matter its motivation is for fame, or it is secretly instructed by other interest groups. They will undoubtedly give Britain a high-sounding excuse.

As for the bad games that EA wants to complain about, they are not developed by themselves at all, but the sentence Is the Xiaobawang game console your EA? can force EA's mouth to be blocked.

Gein, Britain just needs an excuse.

In fact, even if the interests of Xiaobawang game consoles in the UK are completely lost, it will not have a serious impact on Tang Huan. What's more, this incident is still in the initial stage of fermentation, and it is still unclear to what extent the interests will be lost in the end. .

However, this sign is not good. You know, Tang Huan also has computers and peripheral equipment software video recorders and other products. They can all be used as targets. Although he is not worried that Britain dares to beat him with open flames, toads jump on their feet and don't bite people.

In terms of Tang Huan's behavior style, of course he had to find a way to nip the unfavorable factors in the bud.

Seeing Tang Huan silently flipping through the newspaper, his subordinate added cautiously: The Prime Minister's Office revealed that in view of EA's ineffective supervision of its own products, the relevant British departments will make a fine decision before this problem is resolved. Prohibit the sale of the Xiaobawang game console in the UK.

Very good, courtesy first, soldiers later. Tang Huan snorted coldly, Maybe it can become a bargaining chip of sufficient weight.

In addition to the Sun newspapers that are afraid of chaos in the world and are fighting for sales. The BBC is also contributing to the flames, which is a bit strange. After all, this media organization has no need for such a business war.

Every household or business in the UK is required to buy a one-year TV license to ensure the BBC has enough money to educate, inform and entertain the public, at a cost set by the government.

It is because of this special source of funding. The BBC program does not contain any commercial breaks.

And in theory, the BBC program producers are not motivated by any commercial interests.

But this is only in theory. How could the BBC be completely indifferent? In fact, it still needs to face pressures such as politics and so on.

To a certain extent, there is actually a conflict of interest between us and the BBC. Tang Huan smiled sarcastically, I remember that the BBC is actively promoting a project called; puter; The purpose is to promote their products in the education system; personal computers, Fangyuan Apple Commodore Texas Instruments and other personal computer products, and even the Xiaobawang game console with early education functions are all competitors, and they have quite an advantage.

In fact, the United Kingdom has made quite a lot of achievements in the initial stage of the personal computer field. For example, around Cambridge University, more than ten personal computer companies including Aikon Computer have emerged.

And with so much money crowdfunded from the public every year, the BBC certainly has to do something, so as early as the early 1980s, it began to pay attention to the industrial revolution that microcomputers might trigger, which has a great impact on the future of the British economy and society. impact on life.

Because it received half of the funding subsidy from the government, the British Broadcasting Corporation ambitiously launched; puter; planning, research and development; standard personal computers, and the British local Aikon computer uses; 6502 microprocessor personal computer technology , favored by the BBC.

By December 1981, the scheme was coming to fruition, with the BBC launching the ;a and ;b; standard PCs, priced at £235 and £335 respectively.

The wish of the BBC is good, but don't forget that the current personal computer industry is a tragedy that cannot be described.

In the price range of around US$500, In addition to facing the competition of similar products from the UK such as ZX, there are also a group of more excellent products from the United States, including Commodore's 64. product competition.

It has to be mentioned that the tandy computer, an old brand in this kind of products, also came to join in the fun with a brand-new attitude.

Originally, after Tang Huan acquired this electronic chain store, he planned to let its personal computer product tandy computer die naturally, and even transferred its project leader to Silicon Valley so that its team could be completely integrated with other project teams. inside.

But what makes Tang Huan dumbfounded is that the tandy computer, known as a garbage computer, has gained a new life in Silicon Valley by adopting the Fangyuan computer architecture.

Due to the use of the z80 microprocessor completely shrunk to 8-bit isa bus in the special economic zone of mainland China and other effective measures to reduce costs, the price of the new tandy computer has easily reached the range of 500 US dollars.

Coupled with the various entry-level Zheru software and trial versions of EA games that are installed for free, the competitiveness of the tandy computer is impressive.

Seeing that there was also a cheap personal computer competitor of the Xiaobawang game console in his own product lineup, Tang Huan simply dumped it to his subordinates to arrange business strategies, instead of forcibly suppressing it as planned before.

Gein Tang Huan also understands that existence is reasonable, and junk computers below $500 are equivalent to no-name personal computers of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan in the original time and space. There are indeed a considerable number of customers who are willing to use It was bought as a toy and brought home.

Since the subordinates have tossed out such products that do not lose money, don't kill them, and continue to toss during the term of office, maybe they can play an unplanned role.

Tang Huan's indifference, invisibly added a more powerful competitor, which caused the BBC's displeasure, which is not surprising.

After smoothing out the hidden complex relationship with his subordinates, Tang Huan looked at the photo of Jimmy Savile in the newspaper and couldn't help feeling angry, What a pious guy, when is it your turn to come out and pretend to be the Virgin?

Tang Huan waved his hand, called the most capable assistant, and said in a deep voice: Find a private detective to investigate this guy secretly, especially pay attention to the scenes where he contacts underage girls in residential hospitals, schools and other places, I want photos like this Evidence. To be continued.
