Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Looking at the back of Don Estelich, the opponent with the personal style of the Western Cowboy, Tang Huan smiled and waved.

Up to now, the affairs of this dex are almost busy, and then we have to continue to follow up the cooperation with Seagate, and its founder, Alan Shugart, has agreed to visit Zheru.

According to Tang Huan’s vision, external partners with own technology will choose two in the first batch, Seagate that produces hard drives and 3 that provides LAN technology.

Their products will be connected to the system of the second-generation Fangyuan computer through the expansion slot. On the one hand, they can establish a model of hardware partners. On the other hand, they can be easily replaced in case of technical and product problems. Are bound together tightly.

Of course, this is just to be on the safe side. In the original time and space, Seagate and 3's industrial direction basically did not have any major problems, but now no one knows the word, so they just took advantage of the loopholes and established a marriage relationship with them.

During Tang Huan's thoughts, a scent of scent came suddenly. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Madonna, whose music career had recently entered an obvious upward path, and walked up curledly.

It has to be said that with Tang Huan's secret support, Madonna's ability to move alone has become stronger and stronger.

Due to the close relationship with the Xiaobawang game console, she had trouble with Warner Bros. Records, so she went to another record company that was just acquired by Warner Group, signed a single contract, and released the first one. The single "" quickly became a dance hit, which formally laid the foundation for the music scene.

Next. Madonna's goal. Naturally, a record was released.

"Tang. Will you attend the stage performance?" Madonna sat opposite Tang Huan and asked with a smile.

"I should go, and I just take this opportunity to relax." Tang Huan nodded.

"That's true, and I can also help." Madonna pulled her foot out of her high heels and gently rubbed Tang Huan's calf under the table.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "I heard that my career has been developing well recently, congratulations."

"It's not the credit for your promotion, but you gave me ""." Madonna is like a well-digger who never forgets to drink water.

"That's not a big deal. The main thing is that you have done a lot of hard work in arranging music and become famous in one fell swoop. It is reasonable." Tang Huan waved his hand. "And I have no personal connections in the US record industry, even if I want to help , Can't help either."

"You are already helping, through game consoles, and platforms such as the Oakland Raiders football team. I have accumulated enough popularity, otherwise the record company will not take a high look at me." Madonna is very clever. The more Tang Huan became clear, the more she posted.

I have to say that even Tang Huan can’t avoid being vulgar. Madonna’s complimented him in a cheerful mood, with a smile in his eyes, “It’s because of your own strength. I remember I said it a long time ago, your achievements are limitless, continue Work hard, I see people's vision, as accurate as the sunshine of doing business."

After listening to Tang Huan’s encouragement, Madonna, who was in various discharges, finally looked a little more serious, and said earnestly: "My confidence comes from your respect."

At this time, Adelson came to congratulate Tang Huan on his success again in this dex, and Madonna got up and said goodbye obediently.

"I plan to hold dex twice a year starting next year. The location of the spring exhibition in the first half of the year will be temporarily set in New York. What do you think of this plan?" Adelson quickly talked about the purpose of this trip.

"This idea sounds good. In this way, it will be more suitable for European companies across the Atlantic." Tang Huan nodded, "However, the specific situation is really hard to predict, so I can only test it."

"So, I need heavyweight exhibitors to cheer and increase the gold content of the spring exhibition." Adelson laughed, full of hope, "My brother, your reputation, and your subordinate companies, are heavyweights. Existence."

"No problem, I will ask my subordinates to make serious preparations in order to participate in the dex spring exhibition next year." Tang Huan did not hesitate and agreed.

From now on, a large number of new technologies, new products, and new applications will emerge in the entire IT industry. Therefore, even if exhibitions are held more intensively, Tang Huan is confident that the company under his name will not be exhausted.

Adelson didn't know what Tang Huan had in mind. He only thought that the other party was giving him face and moved him badly. After repeatedly chanting "meaningful enough" several times, he continued to lobby other related parties.

Taking advantage of this gap, Tang Huan took a break, and then ran to ea’s performance stage to have fun with the people, and danced with Michael Jackson to the best of the best music. It was a great joy in life. Up.

After Tang Huan personally gave a few Xiaobawang Palm Treasures to the die-hard fans of ea, he even completed his task in this interactive event.

After a rest night in Las Vegas, Tang Huan returned to Cupertino, Silicon Valley the next day.

Of course, Madonna will not let go of any opportunity to serve Tang Huan, the patron.

Had it not been for this powerful young man who had clearly stated his stance on the relationship between the two, Madonna would naturally be willing to go further. This is a billionaire.

But she knows the severity and being too greedy, it will backfire and destroy the current harmony situation. You must know that the career support she has received from Tang Huan is strong enough.

...

Alan Shugart was also eager to seek cooperation, and soon led the other four Seagate co-founders: ,, and, to Cupertino from Scotts Valley.

When chatting with these people, Tang Huan couldn't help feeling secretly, in the original time and space, within a few years, this small team would fall apart and leave separately. Each established a company to produce hard drives. Especially the established company is Connaught. Technically, with Seagate you catch up with me, fierce competition, invisibly greatly promoted the development of the hard disk industry, this kind of rivalry relationship did not come to an end until the last two companies merged in 1996.

After visiting the company and letting the people in front of him understand his own strength, Tang Huan turned the topic to the in-depth cooperation between the two sides. He wanted to invest in Seagate. And I mentioned it to Alan Shugart a long time ago. Since they came so quickly, they shouldn't be too resistant.

In fact, although Seagate has launched a new product st-506, the world’s first 5.25-inch hard drive, its market position is still relatively awkward. The reason is simple. Storage device products have their particularities, that is, the data stored in them often require It is more valuable than the hardware itself.

Just imagine from the perspective of individual customers, if a whole 1000g of carefully collected videos are collected. How will he react if the hard disk cannot be accessed because of a problem with the quality of the hard disk one day?

This is especially true for business users. Employee information, salary data...no matter what, users are more concerned about the reliability of the product, rather than just how large the capacity is.

Compared with all kinds of minicomputers, personal computers that have gradually grown up have obviously more opportunities to accept Seagate and its new products.

In a nutshell, Seagate needs people's trust in him. Seagate, which has only been established for more than a year and in the early stage of its business, cannot easily gain this recognition, and Tang Huan and the second generation Fangyuan Computer gave them this recognition. opportunity.

It was precisely because of this situation that Tang Huan finally got his wish and got 20% of Seagate's shares, and the marriage was successful.

It can be said that with a reliable hard disk, Tang Huan's database products have become even more powerful, and laid the foundation for the subsequent graphics and image processing, as well as software with a wider range of applications such as cad.

Seeing the smug smile on Tang Huan's face, Alan Shugart felt a little uncomfortable. Everyone was a company established last year, but now, the gap between them is incredible.

However, Alan Shugart, who had experienced the unsatisfactory start of the company earlier, quickly drove away the negative emotions in his heart. It is really rare for a collaborator like Tang Huan to bring great development opportunities to Seagate. In contrast, those troublesome face issues are not worth mentioning.

Next, the two parties reached an agreement to set up a joint technical team responsible for the development of hard disk expansion cards on the second-generation Fangyuan computer platform.

The ide interface in the original time and space does not have the conditions to appear at this time, and the combination of open slots and expansion cards is the most suitable solution.

Another goal is to further improve the reliability of data storage through the cooperation of software and hardware.

...

After sending away Seagate's team, Tang Huan went to join in the excitement and ran around the filming set of "Killing".

Tan Jiaming, who has directed the first movie "Famous Sword" not long afterwards, went to the United States to shoot in order to invite Lin Qingxian to star in the film, which is full of sincerity.

Tan Jiaming is recognized as a leading figure in the new wave of films, and the original 1982 film directed by Leslie Cheung, Tang Zhenye, Xia Wenxi, and Ye Tong starred in "The Youth on Fire" is regarded as the representative work of the new wave of Hong Kong movies and has caused the most controversy. .

In fact, Tang Huan's purpose here is mainly to see what Lin Qingxian's efforts in transformation have been achieved.

He remembered that "Love Killing" was a thriller that imitated the French film style, and he didn't know how Lin Qingxian could play.

However, after waiting for a while, Tang Huan scratched his head a bit. It is indeed a new wave movie, full of exploration attempts. Apart from seeing the art scene, he didn’t understand what it was like. summary of the story.

After inquiring, Tang Huan found out that Lin Qingxian played a female college student named Ivy in the movie. The brother of her roommate, Fu Zhuzhong, came to the United States to deal with affairs and fell madly in love with Ivy.

Fu Zhuzhong is married and has a history of mental illness. He paranoidly believed that Ivy would not agree to his love because he had a wife as an obstacle, so he promised Ivy that he would remove all obstacles between them.

After returning to Hong Kong from the United States, Fu Zhuzhong suffered a relapse of mental illness and killed his wife. Flee to the United States to meet with Ivy.

In fact. Fu Zhuzhong was just wishful thinking. Ivy doesn't like him at all.

The courtship failed again and again, and Fu Zhuzhong was extremely angry, thinking that Ivy had tricked him and ruined himself. He gradually became resentful and killed everyone in this dormitory.

The corner of Tang Huan's mouth curled up, and he said that it was really scary, from beginning to end. Kill the Quartet.

Lin Qingxian withdrew the script in Tang Huan's hands, and warned with an annoyance: "When you come to visit the class, you should watch the excitement in a low-key manner, and don't offend people by expressing opinions indiscriminately."

"Don't worry, you didn't see it, I only came with a pair of ears." Tang Huan laughed dumbly.

"Then what is this?" Lin Qingxia asked Tang Huan with a smile while pinching Tang Huan's nose.

At this time, the film crew came to inform the next set of shots to start shooting, and Lin Qingxian hurriedly let go.

With Tang Huan's current style, he didn't want to keep a low profile. Will he be an ordinary man if he can be intimate with a big star like Lin Qingxia?

Not to mention. Tang Huan also graciously hosted the entire crew, and Tan Jiaming soon learned that this young rich man is the boss of DreamWorks.

I have to say that tvb has cultivated a large number of artistic talents for Xiangjiang, and Tan Jiaming is of such a background. He first started from the field work, and then served as the location director until the director, and was appreciated by Gan Guoliang, who was the manager of TVB's program department at the time.

Tan Jiaming's work "A Book of Stars" in this period won the third place at the New York TV Festival, and it was the first time that a Xiangjiang TV program won an international competition award.

After leaving tvb and working for Jiayi TV for a period of time, Tan Jiaming entered the film industry and shot "Famous Sword", which became the iconic piece of New Wave movies.

During the conversation with Tan Jiaming, Tang Huan also discovered another famous figure in the original time and space, the art director Zhang Shuping. Of course, he is still a fledgling and has no name.

Tang Huan was amazed by the fact that such an alternative movie brought together a lot of talents.

The rise of everyone talking at the dinner table, Tan Jiaming bluntly said that the movie "Love Killing" is an experimental route, and he has borrowed a lot from French director Luc Godard.

Hearing these words, Tang Huan suddenly moved in his heart and offered a suggestion, “After returning to Xiangjiang, you might as well ask the investors if they are willing to sell the European license to DreamWorks. I have some contacts in France, maybe It would be a good thing to find a chance to be released, if it succeeds."

Tan Jiaming naturally agreed to this, while others glanced at Lin Qingxia, who didn't speak much, and said that Tang Huan was so enthusiastic, it must be for her face.

After a while, everyone turned the topic to the 17th Golden Horse Awards held on Treasure Island earlier this month.

Treasure Island films still have the upper hand. "Good Morning Taiwan_North" directed by Li Xing defeated strong films such as "The Legend of the Six Dynasties", "The Source", "Crazy Tribulation", "The Savage" and "Jasmine" and became the best Best film, but none of the other important awards won, and even the Director’s Award was not shortlisted.

This best film has aroused controversy, and the Hong Kong film industry, which is not in the mood for it, can be said to be disappointed, and it is gradually complaining about the high and low Golden Horse Awards, the emphasis on art and the lower box office, and even secretly brewing boycotts.

After listening to the discussion, Tang Huan smiled without saying a word.

In the original time and space, in 1981, the mainland established the Golden Rooster Award in order to encourage films, which invisibly increased the urgency of the Xiangjiang film industry to establish its own brand. So, in 1982, the Hong Kong Golden Horse Awards was officially born, and the Golden Horse Awards on Baodao could no longer be the only one.

These Xiangjiang movie people are quite the same. They also talked about some of the deserted performances of this Golden Horse Awards. For example, the best actress of the previous year did not show up at all. Although Lin Qingxian was on the spot because of Lin Qingxian, but with " She did not return to Baodao, who was nominated for "Blood and Yellow Flower".

On the contrary, Xu Feng, the 13th Best Actress, defeated Lin Qingxian and Zhang Aijia with "The Source". After Li Lihua, Gui Yalei, and Lu Yan, they made the second filming, which is really amazing.

But Xu Feng has been married to a wealthy family, and it is estimated that he will not have any relationship with the movie in the future.

Hearing this, Tang Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes. It is not convenient for others to star in movies, but they can invest in movies, and they are also outstanding. The original time and space in 1990's "Rolling Red Dust" and 1992's "Farewell My Concubine" , Is the best proof.

...

After helping Lin Qingxia hold the scene for a while~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Tang Huan returned to Cupertino in Silicon Valley.

Accompanied by Simeone, the founder of 3, Robert Metcalf, traveled from Marlborough, Massachusetts on the east coast to California on the west coast.

These two people were former colleagues. In the original time and space, Simeone went to Microsoft at the suggestion of Robert Metcalf and was responsible for the development of office software. This shows the relationship between them, and Tang Huan is also right. It is the use of this kind of network resources.

In the early days, Robert Metcalf invented Ethernet, and then left in 1979 and founded 3 companies, the name of which is taken from puter, which is computer, which is communication and compatibility, which is commendable. The key to Ethernet is out.

However, the situation of 3 is similar to that of Seagate. It also has to face the technical competition from the omnipotent ibm. At the same time, in the computer academia, Ethernet is not optimistic. You should know that there are several other implementations in the LAN. Token network, for example, is very popular, and ibm also greatly supports it. (To be continued...)
