Rebirth of the Tech Madman
Chapter 559 Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish
For Pacific Telecom, an old-fashioned telecommunications company with assets worth tens of billions of dollars, the process of listing on the New York Stock Exchange was a matter of course, and all participants made money. ●⌒Novel,
Steve Case was sitting in a corner, staring curiously at the direction of a lounge. After Tang Huan finished his speech, many people, especially Arabs and Japanese, came and went there frequently, as if they were Grab something good.
At this moment, Daniel Case, Steve Case's older brother, came over and said in a low voice, Get ready, we'll see Don later.
Okay. The refreshed Steve Case repeatedly agreed, but he still didn't forget his curiosity, and his eyes pointed to the direction of the lounge, What are people doing over there?
They are buying the top membership cards of the Pebble Beach Golf Course. Daniel Case replied with a strange look on his face. The bank bought 12 on heels, and in the end Mitsubishi Bank bought 18 at once, as if they were fighting against each other.
Then how much is this top membership card? Steve Case became even more curious.
One million US dollars. Daniel Case sighed a little, Looking at how these Japanese spend a lot of money, it is likely to sell 100 copies tonight.
That's 100 million dollars! Steve Case gasped, his face full of disbelief.
I don't quite understand the thinking of these people, but the facts are like this. This is Tang's brilliance. Daniel Case shrugged, and then motioned for his brother to stop talking. Tang Huan had already come.
...
Tang Huan chatted with investment banker Richard Brown, the husband of San Francisco Mayor Diane Feinstein, about the torch relay ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games. At this time, two white youths greeted him.
Glancing at the older one, Tang Huan asked with some uncertainty, Are you Daniel Case from San Francisco's Hambqquist Investment Bank?
Exactly. Daniel Case, who was just about to introduce himself, nodded happily, unconsciously deeply impressed by Tang Huan's charisma. The other party is a Silicon Valley tycoon who manages a lot of things every day, and he even remembers himself, an ordinary investment bank manager.
Humberquist was the company that was in charge of Apple together with Morgan Stanley. Tang Huan was naturally impressed because of its innovative financing concept. And then took care of the other party's business several times.
Your company has always been interested in the high-tech development of Silicon Valley,
What project are you working on recently? Tang Huan asked casually with a smile.
I previously invested in an online service company called Atari 2600 to provide network support, but the North American home video game console market has taken a sharp turn for the worse, causing it to lose its main business. Currently looking for a way out. Daniel Case raised his hand and introduced the younger brother beside him, This is Steve Case, my brother, who is working as a marketing manager.
Tang Huan sized up Steve Case, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked, No one can guarantee that venture capital will be 100% successful. What do you think of the current situation?
Daniel Case brought his younger brother Steve Case to this dinner, of course, for the purpose of taking chances, but he didn't expect immediate results. Tang Huan being able to call him by his name directly was already a great surprise.
Seeing that the richest man in the United States suddenly showed interest in talking with Steve Case, Daniel Case held back his excitement, and quickly gave his younger brother a look, signaling him to behave well.
In fact, the brothers Daniel Case and Steve Case, although they are young, are not simple characters.
Their father is a lawyer and their mother is a teacher, and their family conditions belong to the well-to-do middle class in Hawaii. Its growth environment is still very favorable.
Steve Case showed an admirable business acumen when he was in elementary school. He and his brother Daniel Case made juice from limes from the backyard and sold them at stalls for $2 a glass. point. And when the adults actually buy it. Often paid in nickels, no change required.
It can be said that the two brothers realized the mystery of high profits very early.
Afterwards, the two brothers continued various small businesses, such as greeting cards, which did not necessarily make a lot of money. But he has really developed excellent abilities after being busy.
Facing Tang Huan's special attention now, Steve Case, who remained calm, expressed his thoughts in a concise manner, AOL's ongoing trials of various service functions have shown that the prospects for network applications are infinite. It lost the business of the Atari 2600, but it can turn its service target to the personal computer industry, which is developing fiercely. I believe there will be manufacturers who need similar online services.”
Operating a business profit model needs to be explored online online services. It requires broad thinking, high enthusiasm, tenacity, and decisive execution. Tang Huan, who nodded slightly, looked at Steve Case with a smile, It can be seen that you are very interested in the field of online services, and the conditions in all aspects are good. Would you like to come to America Online to work so that you can use your ability?
Steve Case was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, and replied sheepishly, I'm not prepared for this. I originally planned to get the right venture capital from you.
These are irrelevant. If our shareholders are willing, they can merge it into AOL. Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, and then asked his assistant to arrange it. After all, such a trivial matter is not worth his energy. up.
...
The successful listing of Pacific Telecom opened the prelude to the listing of Little Bell companies. Faced with this gluttonous feast of wealth sharing, the media naturally want to write a lot.
Moreover, it is said that at the banquet on the day when Pacific Telecom was successfully listed, the Pebble Beach golf course that Tang Huan had just bought not long ago actually sold more than 100 top membership cards worth 1 million US dollars.
Such a gossip made many people marvel again. Tang Huan, a nouveau riche, has an exaggerated ability to amass money.
However, Tang Huan did not respond positively to the news. You are willing to debate. It's just casual, the more mysterious the rumor, the more popular the top membership card of Pebble Beach Golf Course will be.
But facing the gossip about Nancy, the first lady of the United States, Tang Huan couldn't deal with it so vaguely.
After dealing with some things in New York, including the listing of Pacific Telecom. Tang Huan then visited the White House. This itinerary expresses many meanings.
For example, don't look at some media represented by the New York Post. Recently, Tang Huan has been blackened a lot, and he can't wait to make him a liar with no integrity at all. However, the official attitude of the United States is very clear, and they will not participate in and care about these unnecessary hypes by the people.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Tang Huan, who has a handle, is much cuter than the impeccable richest man in the United States. This is called checks and balances. The disturbance after removing this essence is nothing but farce.
Therefore, the White House remained open to Tang Huan, and soon met Nancy, as well as Helena O'Brien, wife of US Secretary of State George Pratt Schultz, because the other party wanted to know more A truer picture of China. To avoid losing the dignity of the world's number one power under the magnifying glass of the media during the upcoming state visit.
Tang Huan can be regarded as a friend of middle-aged and elderly women, and they talked about everything in detail, and the topic inevitably fell on him during the period.
Logically speaking, everyone is a decent person and should know what it means to respect personal privacy, but the old ladies who cooperate with their husbands all day long and are busy with the same political show are curious.
The membership fee is an advance payment, and the income is not as exaggerated as described by the media. Tang Huan explained it lightly.
I've also watched the movie Love to Protect Flowers. You did a great job. Nancy praised. How is your relationship with Teresa Deng, the heroine who plays the leading role?
Listening to these boring questions, Tang Huan couldn't help feeling dizzy, but fortunately, rescuers came. Reagan took time out to see him.
Recently, it seems that the media has attacked you to the bone. Would you like me to help you restore your reputation, such as arranging a position as a consultant on this visit to China? Reagan asked playfully.
Thank you, Mr. President, for your kindness. Tang Huan shook his head and replied directly, This visit, Baodao will be an important topic. And I still have a lot of business there, so I don't want to be affected unnecessarily.
Since that's the case, then don't force it. Reagan nodded clearly, I heard that there are many idioms in China. Please tell me a few, so that I can help communicate when the time comes.
Tang Huan pondered and said: That's true. For example, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish...
After listening to the explanation, Reagan couldn't help admiring, Chinese culture is really extensive and profound, and this translation must be carefully selected.
Although Reagan had a strong ideology, it is easy to understand how much he attached importance to this visit after considering Sino-US relations in the context of the current Cold War.
After Tang Huan helped the great communicator do some off-stage homework, he took a break and talked about a purpose of coming to the White House this time, I heard that the space shuttle 'Challenger' was launched on February 3 this year. After the launch, the satellite Western Union Star-6 was not successfully put into the correct orbit, and NASA plans to try to recover it after the launch of the space shuttle 'Discovery' later this year. Even if it succeeds, Western Union Star-6 will need maintenance It can be put into normal use only after that. I intend to buy this nearly scrapped satellite and hand it over to a satellite company I established in Asia for operation. I wonder how it will work?
I have to wait for my staff to give an assessment before I can give you a formal answer. Reagan said very seriously.
Tang Huan nodded slightly, I have another matter that I want to discuss with Mr. President, which is about the Funan battlefield in the Indochina Peninsula of Asia.
...
After a meal at the White House, Tang Huan flew back to San Francisco directly from Washington, and specifically explained to John Jobs.
During Reagan's visit to China this time, Tang Huan will not be accompanying him. Instead, John Jobs will represent the commercial interests of Fangyuan Computer Company. He himself will take advantage of the rising trend of Sino-US relations at his own pace.
While discussing the details, the general manager of the Golden State Warriors, Franklin Miyuri, came over and reported: Michael Jordan, the one you fancy, is still planning to participate in this year's NBA draft. I'm a little confused. gone.
Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help being a little stunned. You know, Franklin Millie is also a well-known radio and TV producer in the San Francisco Bay Area. He can speak well, but he can't fool a young man in his early twenties?
Isn't it good to be directly targeted by the Golden State Warriors? What do you think is Michael Jordan's plan? Tang Huan asked curiously.
When Franklin Millie was the owner of the Golden State Warriors before, due to poor financial resources, the team's performance was not good, and they couldn't even make it to the playoffs.
But after the introduction of Tang Huan as the sponsor, the Golden State Warriors have obviously improved. Although they are still far from the championship, they will not miss the playoffs after all, and they have retained the popularity of the city heroes in the San Francisco Bay Area.
But also because of this, in the NBA draft process, the top picks belonged to the teams that did not make the playoffs that year, while the Golden State Warriors' selection priority was lower.
Although NBA teams can trade draft picks in the same way as trading players, Tang Huan doesn't like the uncertain factors, which makes the Golden State Warriors directly sign Michael Jordan.
I guess Michael Jordan is worried that he has not passed the draft, that the contract is not guaranteed, or that someone with ulterior motives is lobbying him behind his back. Franklin Miyuri shrugged helplessly, Michael Jordan is a very good man. My opinion, I can't hold it down either, if you, the boss, come forward and ask yourself, I'll put him in the hotel for the time being.
That's fine, you bring someone here and let me have a look. Tang Huan nodded.
Soon, the well-known Michael Jordan appeared in Tang Huan's office.
If I'm optimistic about you, isn't it worth the so-called guarantee of the NBA draft? Tang Huan asked directly while looking at Michael Jordan with great interest.
Michael Jordan's big black face turned purple at that time, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
The Golden State Warriors have been able to make it to the playoffs in the past few years, and their background is quite good. I also intend to continue to increase investment and support it to compete for the NBA championship, which can completely satisfy your personal pursuit of honor.
Having said that, Tang Huan pondered for a while, Let me introduce another commercial contract to you. I also have shares in Nike, so I can definitely decide to ask you to be a product endorser.
