Rebirth of the Tech Madman

In the European and American music scene with mature business mechanisms and huge competition pressure, musicians need not only talent, but also a keen sense of fashion and even political sense if they want to stand out.

At the third San Francisco Music Festival held in September, Deng Lijun felt the suffering of the people she learned during her personal visit to Africa, and launched a charity initiative, which received positive responses from American musicians and Silicon Valley music lovers.

However, it was the musicians in the UK who were the first to grasp the pulse of the times after learning about the turmoil, and took the first step to act.

In addition, the British Broadcasting Corporation reporter Michael Birke issued a report on the famine in Ethiopia in October, which also imperceptibly promoted the progress of this matter.

The specific result is that Irish singer Bob Geldof served as the convener, bringing together dozens of popular artists, and under the name of Bandaid, they jointly recorded the single dotheyknoit\\'sv.

Bob Geldof's assurance that every penny spent on the album will be put to good use, plus the Did They Know It's Christmas influence is growing day by day. That puts the UK government, which has refused to waive VAT on the single, in an awkward position. The public continued to put pressure on Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and finally the British government had to return the tax collected to donate to charity.

After such a toss, how much commotion is caused. One can imagine. American musicians can't help but feel sour. We were the first to discover this hot spot, but the limelight was taken away by our British counterparts. As a result, a consensus has quietly been reached that American musicians will come up with a more influential charity song than do they know it's Christmas.

Release of the video game Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the United States. Of course, the introduction of the background of the times is indispensable. After all, the player's goal is to unify the world and save the people from suffering.

And the magnificent dawn of the hero at the beginning, in the middle part, well reflects the artistic conception of the suffering of the people. For American musicians who are eager to defeat their British counterparts, it can be described as an inspiration, otherwise it would not be just for the sake of Original soundtrack, go pay high prices for games.

No matter how lofty and great the goal is, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Although many participants, including Michael Jackson, were drawn to Warner Records under their own control very early. But Tang Huan, who has seen through this point, did not mix it up. He just asked the record company to cooperate and adjust the best recording studio, and opened the door to convenience in recording, distribution and other links, so as to reduce the time required for the song to come out. , he left for Washington to visit the White House.

In this year's U.S. general election, Reagan has a very obvious advantage over his rival former Vice President Walter Mondale, with 5 to 405 in the popular vote and 525 to 3 in the electoral vote. It's a big win,

There is no suspense.

But in the end he only won 3 electoral votes from his hometown of Minnesota and the capital Washington, DC, setting a record 525:3 electoral vote gap, but he still won 4 votes. Reagan was re-elected. Mundell quit politics, returned to the legal profession, and started his old business.

In fact, although Reagan won the nomination of the Republican Party without any suspense, he was the same as other competitors in the subsequent public campaign. The performance was not flawless, and even made a lot of mistakes.

The most famous gaffe was when he was about to give a speech on the radio, and he didn't realize that the broadcast had started and joked: My dear American people, I am very pleased to tell you that today I signed a bill that will Russia will be outlawed forever, and we'll start bombing in five minutes.

This was a bit too much fun, and in addition to attracting a lot of criticism, it was even adapted as a dance song Five Minutes by American musicians for public entertainment and consumption.

But in the end, Reagan won by a landslide. The reason for this is nothing more than that although he looks like a militant externally, internally he has resolved the economic issues that voters are concerned about.

When Reagan took office in early 1999, the U.S. economy was facing double-digit inflation, which made economic planning quite unpredictable, and bank interest rates of 20% made it difficult for most people to take out mortgages; at the same time, nearly 1 million people were unemployed. The average hourly wage of workers has dropped by 5% compared with 5 years ago, while the top personal tax rate imposed by the federal government is as high as 67% on average.

In this complicated situation, Reagan began to implement a tax cut bill of an unprecedented scale in the history of the United States in 9 years, and carried out comprehensive tax cuts, which not only greatly reduced the income tax rate, but also eliminated many loopholes in the tax system.

This move is naturally popular, but in terms of solving double-digit inflation, Reagan supported the Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker's plan to achieve the goal of reducing the money supply by raising bank interest rates, in order to match the tightening of the money supply with a comprehensive cut. Taxes to stimulate business investment.

As a result, the U.S. economy began to decline sharply from July 1992, almost breaking the record of the Great Depression. It did not reach the bottom until July 1992, and finally began a dramatic and robust recovery in 1993. The originally high unemployment rate also dropped back to the figure in the early 1994 in the middle of 1994, and continued to decline.

Of course, there are also opponents who believe that the strong recovery of the US economy. It did not benefit from the tax cuts advocated by the Reagan administration and the creation of more job opportunities; it was due to the policy of Reagan's policy of investing heavily in the military industry, which led to a substantial increase in government spending, which in turn produced a pulling effect.

There are even some perspectives. The Reagan administration’s blind cat encountered a dead mouse, and it caught up with the rapid rise and rapid development of Silicon Valley’s high-tech industry. After all, under the background of this obvious economic decline, new computer companies represented by Fangyuan and Apple have sprung up suddenly. Call it a miracle.

It not only made a lot of money for itself. It also played a significant positive role in promoting the whole society. For example, some of the chaos in the transitional period accompanying the comprehensive tax reform implemented by the Reagan administration was greatly assisted by the popularization of Fangyuan personal computers, spreadsheet software, and microcomputer databases.

The continuous record high market value of Fangyuan Computer Company reflects the recognition of its value by the economic circles. Even others had no way to raise funds and had to resort to junk bonds; while Tang Huan was here, banks were crying and rushing to provide loans.

No matter how others talked about it, Tang Huan knew it well. Reagan released all kinds of restrictions since Roosevelt's New Deal, allowing the market to gain unprecedented freedom, and he benefited a lot economically. It is natural to hope that the other party will be re-elected for another four years, and this favorable situation has continued. Comparing your heart with your heart, I believe that others intend to do the same.

During this visit to the White House, Tang Huan not only congratulated Reagan on his successful re-election, but also responded to his special request to ask Robert Charles Gallo, director of the HIV laboratory under the Shennong Foundation, to report the results of the research on this disease in person.

Gein Reagan has come under increasing pressure in domestic affairs and has been criticized for not quickly dealing with the HIV epidemic that is currently rampant. After the White House first discussed the disease in October 1992, it has not announced a response until now.

When I heard that Robert Charles Gallo, who was the first to enter this field to carry out research, confirmed that HIV can also be transmitted through blood transfusion, breastfeeding and other channels. Reagan, whose policies on AIDS and gay rights had been controversial, frowned.

You know, he once stated in a public speech that he believes that science plus moral restraint is the best way to avoid AIDS. But before the conclusion of this transmission route. The mentioned invincible in the normal link, how to break

Tang Huan interjected and said seriously: Mr. President, aside from those disputes over attitudes, it is undeniable that HIV has become the number one killer threatening public health. The momentum of its spread is worrisome, but the public's understanding of it is There are very few, and even if there are some, they often stay at the level of prejudice. If Mr. President handles this initial stage properly, I believe that after the end of the next four-year term, he will leave a valuable political asset. After all, human beings Fighting against HIV is destined to be a long-term process. And the United States took the lead in setting an example, and other countries will follow the rules of Xiao Guicao.

Reagan nodded solemnly, In the first half of next year, the White House will definitely give a clear response. You, the leading non-governmental medical groups, have made significant contributions that are admirable.

After the report was over, Tang Huan signaled with his eyes that Robert Charles Gallo went out with other White House staff, while he stayed and used the brief gap later to talk about some other topics with Reagan.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Tang Huan went to meet with the first lady Nancy again, and confirmed with her that he would attend the presidential inauguration in January next year. Then he left, left the White House, and came to New York to meet with Bush Jr. They bumped their heads.

One of the first orders of Reagan's first term was to end the federal government's control of oil prices in order to restore the domestic market momentum in oil production and exploration in the United States. For the Bush family, which has been engaged in the oil business for a long time, this is naturally a good opportunity for development.

It is a pity that the overall price of oil in the world has fallen at this stage, and Bush's oil companies have all suffered losses. Instead, they have made a lot of money from some side jobs given by Tang Huan.

Tang Huan was establishing Media Asia Satellite Holdings Co., Ltd., headquartered in Xiangjiang, and Bush Jr. followed suit.

This time in New York, Tang Huan planned to meet another participant, General Electric. Although its CEO, Jack Welch, has relentlessly carried out organizational restructuring since he took office in 9 years, substantially laying off employees, selling or closing those businesses with poor performance and no need to keep them, but he is very impressed with the cooperation with Tang Huan. showed great interest.

In order to save launch costs, you don't have to worry that the risk is too great and the loss outweighs the gain if you hand over the Huanya-1 to China for launch. Jack Welch said with some disapproval.

Bush Jr. chuckled, Even if the launch fails, it can somewhat explain how likely China's strategic missile Dongfeng-5 is to hit the continental United States.

It has to be said that Tang Huan just wants to promote China's commercial satellite launch business, but others obviously have more ideas. But because of this, Tang Huan's plan went basically smoothly.

I have insured for Media Asia One, so I don't need to worry too much, at most I wasted some time. After Tang Huan answered relaxedly, he turned to ask: The situation of rca is getting worse and worse. I heard that General Electric intends to come to the rescue.

Another purpose of his contact with Jack Welch was to understand General Electric's attitude towards the troubled rca.

This old-fashioned company, which was once so brilliant that it became the world's largest company, first failed in its diversified operations in the 1970s, and then its video disc research and development project could not compete with home video recorders and laser discs. It spent 600 million US dollars in vain, and finally introduced Sony temporarily His advanced home video recorder technology is at a loss again, and his strength can only be described as lost and declining.

The recent severe environmental pollution scandal at the Baodao factory has put rca's reputation on the ground again, and the prospect is already besieged on all sides.

Tang Huan needs to know how determined General Electric is to take back the rca that was released, and what assets it will keep after it is really taken back. He is really worried that the other party will not let go of rca's broadcast and television equipment and technology. To be continued.
