Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Tang Huancai was too lazy to get involved in these messy housework at Apple. If this ally is really muddy and can't support the wall, then he doesn't mind abandoning it like a shoe.

Therefore, when Jobs and John Sculley returned to their seats and beamingly announced that the two parties had reached an agreement, Tang Huan simply congratulated him, then got up and left, leaving room for Markkula to bargain—— There is a game.

The reason why Tang Huan specially brought the Microsoft trio to play poker with him was that besides the bad taste, the main reason was that the process of playing poker with them was very enjoyable \u003ctype=\u0026;text/;\u003ereads();\u003c/;.

Needless to say, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Steve Ballmer's IQ and bridge accomplishments, the key lies in their sense of competition and combative personality, especially Gates, even if On the table, it is still very obvious, which can bring an extraordinary intellectual game experience.

As the saying goes, character determines destiny. In the original time and space, Microsoft eventually became a software empire. In addition to the turmoil and chance coincidences in the computer age, it has a lot to do with Gates' character of fighting everywhere.

You know, Gates, who was born in an upper-class family, is a veritable rich second generation. When he was just born, his grandmother set up a trust fund of 1 million US dollars for him, and later his father bought him a house worth 900,000 US dollars. .

Compared with other young Americans who are struggling with loans, rent, and credit cards, Gates' material superiority can be imagined.

However, Gates has always maintained his fighting spirit in his career, and tried his best in the IT field until he let Microsoft dominate too much, which attracted an antitrust prosecution from the Ministry of Justice.

In the midst of all kinds of compliments and enthusiasm brought by the three rounds of wealth myths of Apple, EA, and Fangyuan Computer. Tang Huan needed to cool himself down. The troubles caused by the golden combination of Gates and Steve Ballmer at the poker table can provide experience and insights similar to frustration.

After Steve Ballmer took the chips handed over by Tang Huan who had just lost, he said seemingly unintentionally: Recently, when I was purchasing entertainment equipment for the company, I discovered the home video game console market. I have been engaging in large-scale Exaggerated price cuts that are almost at a loss, especially game cassettes, some of which only sell for two or three dollars, shouldn’t this be a harbinger of the collective collapse of this industry?”

It's nothing more than the simple law of oversupply at work. Tang Huanyun smiled lightly, Manufacturers like Commodore and Texas Instruments, which are using cheap personal computers to attack home video game consoles, still have some sense in their advertisements. For the same price, buying a machine that can only play games is worse than buying a personal computer with both learning and game functions. In the final analysis, the threshold of this market is still too low, and everyone comes to share the profits. It will be a bad game sooner or later matter.

The PC industry doesn't have that kind of risk.

Paul Allen, sitting opposite Tang Huan, asked casually.

Of course not. Personal computers are tools that will surely guide the future, while video game consoles are toys that may be frustrating. The upper limit of the market capacity of the former is not comparable to that of the latter. Tang Huan replied firmly, However, we are now There is one problem that PCs need to help solve, and that is that, in the eyes of many people, PCs are more trouble than they are good for.”

This needs to rely on software to function. Gates nodded as if realizing something.

...

All four of them are high-energy madmen. So the game lasted almost into the second half of the night.

However, Tang Huan inadvertently noticed that after getting up the next day, Paul Allen didn't look very well.

Paul, have you had a physical examination recently? There seems to be something wrong with your health. Tang Huan, who was moved in his heart, asked Paul Allen about it. Then said so.

I feel pretty good, and my mental state is pretty good now. Paul Allen replied disapprovingly. If I have to talk about the situation, it may be that I have been losing weight. I will go for a physical examination after I return to Seattle,

Did you have obvious symptoms of night sweats when you woke up in the morning? Tang Huan asked.

How do you know? Paul Allen looked surprised \u003ctype=\u0026;text/;\u003ereads();\u003c/;.

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this symptom is kidney deficiency. Tang Huan waved his hand, I'm going to Baozang Hospital to visit a child today. You can go for a physical examination by the way. It's free.

Tang Huan was so enthusiastic, Paul Allen agreed, and Gates and Steve Ballmer went to Silicon Valley.

...

The child Tang Huan mentioned was, of course, Betty who had just received radiation therapy. Although the little girl was still very weak physically, she was still in good spirits.

The effect of the treatment remains to be seen, and we cannot be optimistic. The doctor in charge confessed to Tang Huan.

Do your best and obey the destiny. Tang Huan sighed.

During this period of time, Tang Huan, who rocketed to the position of a billionaire, had subtle psychological activities, almost a bit hypocritical, and was a little sensitive to philosophical topics such as life and death, reincarnation, and everything in the universe. Betty, who was about to die at a young age, naturally touched him especially.

Feeling inexplicably moved, Tang Huan wandered around and inspected the medical projects and laboratories funded by the Shennong Foundation.

Among them, Robert Gallo has achieved remarkable results in the diagnosis of Viagra, and Viagra can almost enter the formal use and start attracting money.

On this day, Tang Huan was listening to the progress of using his own computer technology on medical testing equipment, which happened to catch up with the recruitment interview activities of its medical institutions.

After watching with cold eyes for a while, Tang Huan left through the side door when he saw nothing tricky. When he walked to the parking lot, a conversation between a Chinese man and woman caught his attention.

...

Hui Jia, how was the result of the interview? the man asked.

There are too many people applying for jobs. My interview will be in the afternoon. What about you? the woman asked back.

Yanle Entertainment Group appreciated my graduation short film very much, but we still have to wait for the results. I can feel that they seem to pay more attention to Chinese with American film education and professional background. The man replied with a smile.

...

This is a Chinese who studies directing. Tang Huan, who had this idea flashed in his mind, suddenly became interested. He was indeed asking his subordinates to pay attention to this talent.

After getting in the car, Tang Huanxing told his assistant wherever he went. Invite that Chinese man and woman over for a chat.

When meeting with that man, Tang Huan couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said to himself, Isn't this Li An! The one next to him is Lin Huijia. It seems that his business is really influential and has begun to attract many elites. Take the initiative to vote.

Mr. Tang? Li An was even more surprised. Unsure of what to ask.

Tang Huan nodded slightly, I overheard that you are here for an interview, can you show me your resume?

Upon hearing this, Li An quickly sent the information about himself and Lin Huijia to Tang Huan respectfully.

Huijia Lin received her MS in Microbiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is about to graduate with a Ph.D. and belongs to a top student.

In addition to obtaining a bachelor's degree in drama from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Ang Lee went to the New York University Film Production Institute in 1981 to study for a master's degree \u003ctype=\u0026;text/;\u003ereads();\u003c/;.

The two short films he shot -Shady Lakeside and -Boundary Line also have corresponding self-introductions.

My medical laboratory is in need of high-quality researchers like Ms. Lin. Tang Huan smiled slightly and returned the information to Li An. After encouraging him to have a good interview, he asked the driver to start the car and left.

Li An looked at the Mercedes-Benz going away, scratched his head, and muttered inexplicably, Why did Mr. Tang just praise you, but left me out?

...

Tang Huan, a Silicon Valley nouveau riche with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, not only showed his aura of local tyrants by hosting a sensational banquet in San Francisco. There are also many tricks to share the benefits of success with others, which has become a topic that the outside world talks about.

For example, Tang Huan chartered a Concorde 208 from Air France. There is a weekly flight between San Francisco and Hawaii, which is specially used to take the subordinates who are on vacation.

Although the Concorde has the advantage of supersonic speed, it was boycotted due to the noise problem. It did not make a big splash in the civil aviation market on the Atlantic route as it wished, so it had to adopt a variety of flexible operating methods, and people like Tang Huan Regal charter is the most popular.

The Air France Concorde operates flights between Paris and New York. It takes about three and a half hours to cross the Atlantic Ocean, twice as fast as an ordinary subsonic airliner. Have an extraordinary travel experience.

Of course, the cost of flying Concorde is also quite expensive. The round-trip ticket price between Paris and New York has reached 3,900 US dollars, which is at least 20% more expensive than the first-class cabin of an ordinary subsonic airliner.

Since the cruising speed of the Concorde can be faster than the moving speed of the morning and evening line, it can catch up with and surpass the rotation of the earth.

In other words, on the westbound route from San Francisco to Hawaii, the arrival time can be earlier than the departure time based on San Francisco local time, so that you can see the unique scene of the sun rising from the west.

Novelties such as these make employees who receive Hawaii vacation benefits rejoice, while others salivate with envy and scramble to win such rewards in the future.

Tang Huan asked his subordinates to take turns to take happy vacations, while he sat in Silicon Valley to handle various affairs.

He continued to take advantage of the situation to enhance the cohesion of his company, but Gates suffered another sap. His good friend and co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen, was diagnosed as Hodge after an examination at Treasure Hospital. King's disease.

The disease, a cancer in which the lesions spread in an orderly manner between lymph nodes, requires radiation therapy and, with the right measures, the chances of survival are high.

But the direct impact of this accident is that Paul Allen has to say goodbye to his current job, and Microsoft will lose an important leader.

Gates was stunned when he got the news. Microsoft was at a critical stage of development, but he was about to lose his right-hand man in his career.

Tang Huan's direct reaction was not only true, but also called evil.

Woz, the co-founder of Apple, suffered a crash and walked away before the gate of death; now Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft, has cancer again, and his life and death are unpredictable.

Could it be that these co-founders are under some spell? Otherwise, how could such an accident happen by such a coincidence. (to be continued)
