Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Prince Fahd is currently busy reorganizing the predecessor of the Asian Olympic Council in the original time and space-the Asian Games Federation. The interest relationship involved by dozens of members, the degree of trouble in coordinating, is not hesitating in diplomatic games, he and Tang Huan, the trapeze, shuttles from place to place.

To be honest, Tang Huan did hang a number with Prince Fahd, which impressed him quite deeply, but for the Kuwaiti royal family, it was limited to a young and promising high-tech company boss.

However, when Apple successfully went public, Tang Huan, as a non-founder, was listed as one of the four billionaires. In the eyes of those who care about this world pass, the value and meaning are obviously different.

You know, in 1913 before the First World War, Kuwait was an autonomous province of Iraq under the Ottoman Turk Empire. During World War I, the British occupied Kuwait and promoted it in 1961, but Iraq never did Recognize Kuwait.

Today, Kuwait, which has only been in the past 20 years, naturally hopes that through various activities, while gaining wide recognition, it also guarantees the appreciation of the wealth it earns from the oil trade.

The road to Tang Huan's rise is no secret. Although it is not known whether such a young man will fall into the dust in a flash and fall back into the ranks of ordinary people, it is needless to say that he already has investment value.

Knowing the general trend, Tang Huan, who knows the easiest, safest and most rewarding loopholes, is very confident in his value. So when facing Prince Fahd. It can also be active and peaceful. This made the other party more appreciate, and enthusiastically sent out invitations to visit Kuwait and exchange business experience by the way.

Obviously, the last point is the real goal, and of course Tang Huan readily agreed.

After bidding farewell to Prince Fahd and getting on the bus, he accompanied Mr. Huo. Not without murmured jealously, "Brother, you are regarded as being taken by the rich man in the Middle East. You are so many years older than your brother, why didn't you have such a chance?"

"You are already an enviable second-generation rich man, take any chance with me." Tang Huan cut with contempt.

"Middle Easterners are really rich. You see, the current stock of Carrian Group has increased ten times compared with the original. It is said that it has caught the line in the Middle East." Huo Da Young Master still sighed with emotion.

Tang Huan smiled without saying a word, the beautiful bubble created by Caring Group has been blown to its maximum. Soon there was a slap, bursting open. But this has nothing to do with him. Zhou Mi has completely withdrawn the funds, and the profit is almost enough to buy a beautiful TV.

Deng Lijun had already returned to the United States to visit his children. Tang Huan stayed with Zhao Yazhi with confidence, dressed up his own image, and then took the prepared documents, took the private plane Silicon Valley One, and carried Fah. Prince De, as well as Prince Huo, who became more jealous, and then smashed his thoughts, went to Kuwait.

Now Iraq and Iran are at war. Kuwait, which supports the former, is not far away from the war. Tang Huan even remembers that there will be dangers of bombs from time to time in the original time and space.

The reason for such an uncomfortable situation is mainly due to the location of Kuwait.

It is located in the northeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula in West Asia and the northwestern shore of the Persian Gulf. It borders Saudi Arabia in the south and Iraq in the north. It faces Iran across the sea. It can be said that there is no barrier.

However, its area is only more than 17,000 square kilometers, and it does not have a strategic depth. In the original time and space, it only took more than a day for Iraq to push its troops into the city of Tweet and achieve a decisive victory. At the same time, Prince Fahd died in the palace, which is a good illustration.

Due to differences in customs, after arriving at the destination, although Tang Huan was treated meticulously, he was very careful in every move, and even confirmed his memory from Young Master Huo.

When he came here, he knew what the luxury of the royal family was, and Tang Huan couldn't help but wonder in secret.

The head of state of Kuwait is called the Emir and must be hereditary by the descendants of the Sabah family. According to tradition, the Jaber branch and the Salim branch take turns ascending the throne.

The government cabinet is composed of the prime minister and ministers. The main members are: the prime minister, the first deputy prime minister and the minister of interior and defense, the deputy prime minister and the minister of foreign affairs, the deputy prime minister and the minister of justice, the deputy prime minister and the minister of state for development and housing affairs.

Important positions in the cabinet are usually held by members of the royal family, and the position of prime minister is held by the crown prince. The power of the royal family is self-evident.

Although it is well known that the members of the Middle Eastern royal family are not ordinary members of the royal family, but there are certainly high and low points. Prince Fahd is an important royal family member.

The current emir jaberal-ahmadal-jaberal-sabah, namely Jaber III? Ahmed? Sabah, is the 13th emir and belongs to the Jaber branch.

Jaber III was the tenth Emir, the third son of Ahmed I, and Prince Fahd was the ninth son. The two were half brothers.

The current crown prince and prime minister is saadal-abdullahal-sabah, namely Saad Abdullah Salim Sabah, the cousin of Jaber III and belongs to the Salim branch.

However, Saad suffers from bowel cancer, and this health problem has quite an impact on his work.

Sabahal-ahmadal-jaberal-sabah, who became Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1963 and concurrently served as Deputy Prime Minister in 1978, namely Sabah IV Ahmad Jaberal Sabah, is the fourth son of Ahmed I, and Fah Like Prince De, he is the half brother of the current Emir, Jabir III.

In the original time and space, Saad served as the 14th Emir and only served as the monarch for 10 days. For health reasons, Sabah IV asked him to abandon the throne and succeeded him as the 15th Emir.

The important person that Prince Fahd took Tang Huan to meet was Sabah IV, before that. Tang Huan has submitted the introduction materials of the American company under his name.

After the greeting. The topic of both parties quickly shifted to the business side.

Sabah IV was a little curious. "Are companies in the high-tech industry growing as fast as the listed Apple?"

"Generally speaking, the growth rate is indeed amazing, but Apple is among the best." Tang Huan does not need to exaggerate in this regard. "The key is to see whether the market demand can be captured, such as my spreadsheet software, regardless of ordinary The financial staff of China, or the high-end securities agents. They all like its functions very much, and naturally, it will provide generous economic returns."

"If I intend to invest in the high-tech field, which aspect should I choose as the entry point, which is more appropriate?" When Sabah IV asked, the meaning of consideration was obvious.

"It depends on the starting point." Tang Huan smiled faintly. "If you want short-term operation, then invest in the video game industry and plan for long-term development. Many industries centered on personal computers have unlimited potential. If you want to consider the country, The strategic significance is to get involved in the most advanced semiconductor R&D and production. Such as fabs and microprocessors."

Sabah IV's eyes lit up, "Mr. Tang knows these industries very well."

"Because I'm already in it." Tang Huan nodded, "However, the high-tech industry is also very risky. Apple's listing is also to raise funds and develop new products to occupy the commanding heights of the industry."

"I saw from the information that Mr. Tang brought, your company is also developing many new products, don't you need funds?" Sabah IV was finally brought to the topic of money by Tang Huan.

"Of course it is necessary, but I will do my best. As much capital as I have, I will shop as much as possible." Tang Huan was not hypocritical, and asked directly, "Is the prince interested in investing? This kind of investment is called venture capital, and they have earned hundreds of times the return on Apple."

"There is indeed an idea to test the waters." Sabah IV nodded, "However, I also hope that my investment can play a role in other aspects. For example, this enterprise can get the attention and recognition of the local government. "

This is not only to brush gold coins, but also to brush prestige, fortunately, I don't need to be more greedy for additional achievements.

"High technology has this benefit. It represents the future. No matter where you are, such projects are welcome to take root." Having understood the other party's thoughts, Tang Huan was able to speak with ease.

"Talking to a smart person like Mr. Tang is really refreshing." At the last parting, Sabah IV laughed happily and asked Prince Fahd to arrange the next hospitality work.

Tang Huan didn't experience the exotic atmosphere for too long here in Kuwait, after all, the second dex will begin soon.

In the end, Tang Huan took the investment promised by the other party and left with satisfaction, and Young Master Huo did not run in vain. He and Prince Fahad reached a tacit agreement on the future allocation of positions in the Olympic Council of Asia.

...

Compared with the first dex last year, the influence of this session is significantly greater. Both the exhibitors and the number of visitors have risen by one level.

After all, the West Coast Computer Festival has been held in San Francisco for several times, and the meaning of hip-hop is a little stronger. The industry needs more professional exhibitions. As a result, dex caught this opportunity.

Adelson, the future "Gambling King of Sands", is very generous and arranged the best exhibition location for Zheru. Although Tang Huan had paid for the exhibition in one go for several years, there was no need to take advantage of this kind of advantage and take the initiative to make up for it. The price difference is on.

There is no doubt that the focus of this exhibition is the second-generation Fangyuan computer, and the real 16-bit personal computer gimmick has also become the protagonist of this year's dex.

The specific operation of the exhibition naturally does not require Tang Huan's concern. He has to personally deal with the industry-wide speeches organized by dex.

In this industry forum, Adelson and the entire organizer did not try their best to bring in big names such as the ibm president to upgrade the level.

However, the two slightly famous young people who participated in dex last year-Tang Huan and Jobs, have now become billionaires, enough to be the highlight of this year's dex.

Without ranking according to seniority, Tang Huan was arranged to give a speech in the first position, and he was not polite. The beginning of the article pointed Jiang Shan and said: "Everyone. I expect. Next year, there will be new personal computers in the industry, but the amount of progress alone is not enough. The development of personal computers is time to enter the third generation, that is, to adopt With 16-bit CPU products, Fangyuan's second-generation computer has made the first attempt in this regard."

It can be said that Tang Huan's speed in product development. The colleagues were surprised, especially when they saw the actual products on the booth, their scalp numb.

Fortunately, the quotations from unofficial channels gave all competitors a sigh of relief. The basic model starts at US$4,000, which is obviously aimed at commercial goals and will not cause an excessive impact on the industry for the time being.

"It goes without saying that the application of new technologies often has some lag. 8-bit personal computers and 16-bit personal computers will coexist in the market for a period of time, but I believe it will not take too long. Then they will all transition to 16-bit platforms. ."

After looking forward to the future of the industry and reminding colleagues, Tang Huan talked about the second-generation Fangyuan Computer’s plan to seek cooperation. “The design specifications for the expansion slot circuit board in hardware and the programming interface in software will be made public later, so that Let third parties make more powerful function cards and compile more creative programs."

Tang Huan's series of combination punches dazzled everyone in the audience, but they all understood that the second generation of Fangyuan Computer officially supported its partners in third-party development.

This round seems to be very well laid out and not small in conspiracy.

Compared to Tang Huan, who appeared with a new computer, Jobs's deceptive rhetoric obviously did not arouse everyone's interest.

Gates didn't get the opportunity to speak on stage this time, but he didn't think about it. Microsoft just collected $1 million from ibm and officially started the cooperation. It can almost be said that it has entered a state of lasting battle.

As the representative of ibm, Don Estelich, the new head of the chess project, gave a speech later and made a promise, "The next generation of personal computers that ibm is developing also uses 16-bit CPUs. And it can be sold for under $2,000."

Perhaps because of the authorization, the original rules of ibm can be bypassed when doing things. Don Estelic got rid of ibm's conservative and stable image, speaking of words, full of offensive power, the so-called price of 2,000 US dollars, undoubtedly Satire and challenge to the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

Seeing this faintly smelling gunpowder scene, Gates couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the ibm side was counseled. After all, at present, the chess plan can be said to be insignificant for the entire ibm. If it is found to be unprofitable, it may be abolished like countless other halfway projects.

Don Estelich is so aggressive, it is probably for the sake of his own small collective interests. In order to preserve the chess project, he has no longer cared about maintaining the image of a gentleman in ibm.

Once the news of the price of 2,000 US dollars spreads, it may make people planning to buy second-generation Fangyuan computers temporarily resist the idea and wait for the more trustworthy ibm cheap personal computers, which can be regarded as sinister.

Seeing the growing philosophers and ibm, which is already a big Mac, grudges, Gates can't help but gloat in his heart. He turns his eyes to Tang Huan, who is sitting in the audience after the speech, and finds that the other party doesn't care, and that the harmony is Seagate Technology The founder alanshugart is talking with Alan Shugart.

At present, Fangyuan computers, including other types of personal computers, mainly use 5.25-inch disks for external data storage systems. Magnetic tapes and paper tapes have become uncommon on this platform due to performance and price reasons.

But because of the application of database ebase and various information management systems, Fangyuan Computer also provides support for tape. After all, this medium is cheap and reliable. Even after decades in the original time and space, it is still widely used to back up data. .

Tang Huan, who knows the development trend of personal computer technology, naturally hopes to incorporate the hard disk into the system architecture of Fangyuan Computer, and just taking advantage of the opportunity of this exhibition, he met Alan Shugart, the president of Seagate.

It can be said that Alan Shugart contributed the most in the development history of hard disks and floppy disks. After graduating from university, he entered ibm and started his career, participated in the research and development of hard disks, and invented floppy disks.

In 1973, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Alan Shugart founded a company called Floppy Disk Drives, but was forced to resign as CEO in 1974 by investors, and the company was later acquired by Xerox.

When it came out, although it was amazing, there were many competitors, and not only technology could solve all market problems.

As a result, Markkula asked Woz to develop the floppy disk drive on the platform and was a big success, boosting the sales of Apple computers to the level of the time period when Tang Huan came through.

Alan Shugart, who failed to start a company, saw a new opportunity from the success of Apple, so he co-founded the company with others. Because the company was bought by Xerox before, in order to avoid legal risks, he had to The company name was changed.

This year, Seagate Technology introduced the first 5.25-inch hard drive st-506 with a capacity of 5m. Tang Huanda was interested, so he asked Alan Shugart about the price, but he was almost surprised to bite his tongue and cost $1,500. Nowadays, most personal computers only cost much.
