Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Regarding the fact that Netscape submitted an antitrust complaint to the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice, the reaction of the richest man can only be described as response.

However, this matter is not enough to cause trouble for his elder brother - he immediately put down the affairs in hand and went back home.

Tang Huan just gave a few instructions:

First of all, focus on attacking the oracle in the noise alliance - this insidious guy hiding behind, has two fronts, namely the hardware nc and the software database.

With the coming of the summer vacation this year, in addition to the usual Hollywood blockbusters, there are also unusually hot PC promotions. The spearhead is directed at nc, vowing to force the other party into the corner of electronic waste.

In the war on the database, it is not enough to rely on cost performance.

Gein, the ecological chain of the database is roughly divided into several levels.

At the bottom are databases such as ebase, oracle, sybase, and db2, or database management systems, which belong to the back end of the application architecture.

The immediately upper layer is various programming languages ​​such as c/c++, pascal, and basic—although the relational database management system has a standard configuration language such as sql, its operation target is mainly for the database The various objects in it are definitely not comparable in function to programming languages ​​​​that can control more computer resources.

The development tools that support these programming languages ​​are the front-end relative to the back-end database, and they also have a fashionable name-visual rapid application development.

Zerone_development_workshop of Zheru Software, microsoft_visual_ of Microsoft, etc. are all popular visual rapid application development tools at this stage.

However, those database vendors that developed from the mainframe platform often do not have such visual rapid application development tools—at most, they provide a reporting tool to display the data from SQL queries in the form of tables.

Take sybase as an example, in order to make up for this short board, it acquired a visual rapid application development tool, and after a little packaging, it launched powerbuilder.

Oracle also has shortcomings in terms of visual rapid application development tools.

The top layer of the database ecological chain is an information management system that directly interacts with operators through a software graphical interface, such as financial computerization, invoicing, human resource management, etc.

As for the companies that provide such specific informatization solutions, there are countless, such as PeopleSoft, which flew out from Zheru alone, and SAP, which originated in Germany, are well-known for a long time.

Obviously, what kind of database these companies support has a decisive impact on the market share of ebase, oracle, sybase, and db2.

Tang Huan's request to focus on Oracle's database business is to start from the two aspects of visual rapid application development tools and information management systems-to beat a snake and hit seven inches, but that's all.

Next, Netscape can't let it go—it's just that it can't do it in a trace, so as not to pretend to be a poor opponent and further sympathize with it.

Tang Huan's request was - didn't Netscape want to enter the enterprise Internet market? Then let it have no chance to cross the threshold at all, and can only lie on the browser market, and eventually starve to death!

In addition, for the self-satisfied noise alliance, it is also necessary to find opportunities to disintegrate it.

This aspect is not so easy to operate compared to picking up the guy and attacking head-on. Gein, there must be a complicated exchange of interests involved, and there is even a potential risk of destroying the existing Tang's it ecosystem.

After all, the noise alliance was able to take shape, to a certain extent, because its members belonged to those who were eliminated by Tang it—now they are drawn together,

The previous concerns about difficulty getting along and indigestion still exist.

However, everyone understands that the disintegration of the noise alliance will not be achieved overnight, so there is still some patience.

...

The richest man was discussing diplomatic relations in the IT world on a conference call, and the secretary reported that Kisinger had already contacted him.

Tang Huan approached Ji Xinge not because he wanted the other party to give advice to the current chaos in the software industry, but for other things.

In fact, Tang Huan is a long-term client of the former US Secretary of State—Kissinger’s achievements are not limited to the well-known special envoy in the process of establishing diplomatic relations between China and the United States, he has also participated in many other major international affairs of the United States , what about the Vietnam War, the Bangladesh War, the East Timor War, the Fourth Middle East War, and the Chilean Augusto Pinochet military coup in Latin America, US-Cuba relations, the Argentine military dictatorship, and the Rhodesian Bush War in Africa etc.

Kissinger, who was not involved in the Watergate Incident after the death of former US President Nicholson, can be said to be the most active and influential former member of the cabinet team.

Many multinational corporations, including Zheru and Fangyuan, cannot avoid listening carefully to the opinions of senior people like Jixinge when evaluating the impact of international political relations on business activities.

The richest man clicked the button, connected with Kisinger, and after a few simple greetings, he turned to the main topic and said: Dr. Henry, there is something that needs your professional help - the series of movies 007 will be produced again. The next work is coming, and the producer wants to catch the heat.

Despite his age, Ji Xinge still had a clear mind and a quick response. He immediately took up the conversation with a smile: Isn't the scriptwriter interested in the fact that China is about to resume exercise of sovereignty over Xiangjiang?

The doctor's guess is right. Tang Huan also smiled, You also know that there is no need to take commercial risks to test some political bottom lines. I hope that the doctor can give them some authoritative opinions.

After the success of goldeneye -- Golden Eye, the producer of 007 naturally had some ambitious breakthroughs in themes, in order to attract more people's attention.

Mr. Richest Man didn’t have time to give advice to his subordinates, how to do it in practice so as not to cross the line, and it’s easy to follow the truth, so he simply asked Kissinger, a veteran actor on the international diplomatic stage, to check it out——Can you invite such a person? The participation of a big celebrity in the production will naturally benefit the hype of the film, and the consultant fee does not matter, and it can further promote the sweet love between the two parties, no!

When Jixinge heard that there was a business coming to his door, he was very happy, and he also showed a very strong interest, and immediately agreed with all his heart: Don, don't worry, I will definitely help 007, and make sure that it will not affect the box office. political scale.

Of course I believe in the authoritative level of the doctor. After complimenting the other party a few words, Tang Huan turned to chatting about the many countries he encountered that rushed to award him awards.

In this matter, the United Kingdom, which has a certain result, released the wind to the outside world, and other countries are still communicating, so they are all in the stage of secret and unannounced, so as not to be caught by the media and cause side effects.

After learning about these situations, Kissinger praised with emotion: This phenomenon shows that Tang's contribution to the world has been highly recognized by those countries. It is really gratifying.

Think about it too, as long as the sensitive loyalty issue is not involved, who can control how many kinds of national honors the richest man reaps?

...

After the conversation with Ji Xinge was over, Tang Huan picked up a document on his desk, made some comments, then called his assistant, and ordered: The name of the latest 007 movie, there was a mistake in the fax process. ——I think there are mistakes, and the current name is pretty good, so let’s keep it; as for other aspects, we should further collect professional opinions and polish it carefully.”

The latest 007 is scheduled to be released next year. In the story design, the media tycoon will be made into a villain who tries to control the world and deprive human freedom. Therefore, the title of the film refers to the format of the Beatles song tomorrow_never_knows , defined as tomorrow_never_lies, which translates as tomorrow will never lie, and this tomorrow refers to the newspaper of the same name in the movie.

As a result, in the process of passing the relevant documents on and off, no one knew who was so careless and turned tomorrow_never_lies into tomorrow_never_dies.

The richest man doesn't bother to pursue the issue of work attitude anymore, just think that this movie is a fate to be called tomorrow_never_dies - Tomorrow's Empire.

Although additional checks based on reducing political risks may cause schedule delays, Daheng Tang doesn’t care too much. Anyway, “Titanic” will catch up with the summer schedule in 1997, so “Tomorrow’s Empire” will be released by the end of next year. Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise because of avoiding its edge.

Tang Huan continued: In addition, they want to invite a well-known Chinese actress to be a Bond girl, so they don't have to worry about Lin Qingxia anymore. One is that she has acted in 007 before, and the other is not very interested. ——Anyway, DreamWorks can provide a lot of room for choice, and there is still time, so choose slowly.”

...

After the affairs at hand were almost handled, the richest man got on Silicon Valley No. 1 and came to Russia.

His visit this time was ostensibly to communicate about Russia awarding him a national honor, but in fact it was mainly to help someone change circles.

This year, not only the United States is busy with the quadrennial general election, but Russia is also undergoing power changes at various levels.

Take Russia's second most populous city - St. Petersburg as an example, under the changing situation, some families are happy and others are sad.

Unfortunately, the former mayor, Anatoly Alexandrovich Sobchak, was defeated by his political opponents in the election with a small margin of 1.2%. A capable follower, Putin suddenly lost room for advancement in his official career.

Sobchak's defeat cannot be entirely attributed to the incompetence of himself and the team, it can only be said that he is still a bit inferior in experience.

Don't naively think that the campaign is as perfect as its concept describes; in fact, human beings can play bad everything that is originally good.

On the one hand, the campaign advertises that whoever has the ability to do things for everyone's well-being will win the most votes; on the other hand, it is to see who has fewer scandals and is relatively less annoying.

In the Internet self-media era that was developed 20 years later, the well-known mutual slander between Hillary and Trump is the most vivid example.

During the years when Sobchak served as mayor of St. Petersburg, it was the craziest stage of Russia's privatization. The interest entanglements involved are countless-as long as he does something, he will fall into the trap, and then become a cannonball attacked by political opponents in this year's election.

Under such circumstances, whoever is the most vicious and unscrupulous will have the last laugh and enjoy the fruits of victory.

As Sobchak's right-hand man, Putin was able to enjoy the glory of one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven before, but now he also has to suffer the bitter fruit of the tree falls and the monkeys scatter.

In other words, there is no room for Putin in St. Petersburg now, and there is no way to continue to mess around. Even Sobchak may be in trouble.

The reason is obvious-in the process of privatization in Russia over the years, who dares to say that he has not reached out and is clean and flawless?

There have been rumors that Sobchak is very likely to be liquidated by the political opponent who came to power next.

This year, Sobchak is almost 60 years old. Of course, he can only seek self-protection, not self-improvement; but Putin is only 3 years older than Tang Huan, only 44 years old, which is the golden age of his career.

Therefore, at this time, Putin has no choice but to change circles and start messing around from the beginning. But water flows to low places, people go to high places, his next stop can only be Moscow.

In this case, let's go to the relationship.

Through his own connections, Putin got a job as a deputy director of the Russian President's Property Management Office, doing some chores. For example, transfer some domestic and foreign assets from the Soviet era to Russia.

You know, Putin used to be considered the No. 2 man in St. Petersburg, but now he is an errand runner, so one can imagine the loss in his heart.

A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Mr. Richest Man, who is anxious and righteous, is here this time to help Putin frame his work achievements, so that he can enter the inner circle of Russian President Karma as soon as possible.

When they met, Tang Huan not only noticed Putin's depression that he tried to hide, but also noticed Sobchak's sick face, so he asked a special question.

Sobchak sighed, I went to the hospital for a diagnosis, a heart attack.
