Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

The torch relay of the Los Angeles Olympic Games began on May 7 this year. After the tinder was collected in Greece, it was directly transported to the United States. The Soviet Union immediately declared, "I'm not going anymore, you can play by yourself."

The torch relay in the United States is of course unaffected, and it was carried out lively. It is estimated that about a quarter of Americans participated in this event.

However, the most weird and most criticized part of this torch relay is that it received a sponsorship of 3,000 US dollars per kilometer. The more than 10,000 kilometers of more than 1,000 cities and towns between the origin of New York and the destination of Los Angeles contributed approximately. 30 million US dollars.

In the beginning, the International Olympic Committee would of course oppose this overly commercial approach, but in the end it gave in. And this is only one of the many compromises made by the International Olympic Committee since the date when the bidding city for the Olympic Games was determined. It is not that rare.

The reason why the International Olympic Committee is so complacent is because of the "money shortage".

Originally, it was stipulated in the "Olympic Charter" that the host city of the Olympic Games and its organizing committee must provide a guarantee to the International Olympic Committee to "understand the full financial responsibility of organizing the Olympic Games."

Until the last Moscow Olympic Games, the hosting process followed this rule.

But the problem is that in addition to the political significance of the Olympic Games at this stage, it seems that there is no ▲ ⌒, .. to show satisfactory benefits, after a lively event, often what is left is only sky-high bills.

If the host city has a nationwide mechanism to back it up, it naturally doesn't need to care about the financial gains and losses. The remaining surplus will be earned, and the loss will be shared equally by everyone. No need to worry about it.

For example, the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. After the successful bid. The Japanese government has invested US$3 billion in the construction of sports venues and related supporting infrastructure, including transportation facilities and water supply systems. The world’s first commercial high-speed railway, the Tokaido Shinkansen, was put into use a few days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, and the Metropolitan Expressway and Tokyo Underground Railway systems have also undergone a substantial expansion of the road network.

With the opportunity of the Tokyo Olympics, Japan has earned both the face and the inside. It can be said that everyone is happy.

And the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The Soviet Union invested 9 billion U.S. dollars in a historical record. The result was deserted. In addition, it was blocked and its national strength was damaged. The money was not worthwhile, but it was paid by the state, and all contradictions can be concealed logically. .

However, the Montreal Olympics in 1976 was not so lucky. It cost as much as 5.8 billion U.S. dollars and ended up with a loss of 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, which made the Montreal municipal government a lot of debt. One of the debts totaling US$1 billion will not be paid off until November 2006, 30 years later.

The worst loss in the history of the modern Olympic Games. It frightened many cities that were interested in bidding for the Olympic Games. In the subsequent 1980 and 1984 bids, there were few competitors for this reason.

In order to avoid the bills as long as it is lively, in November 1978, California, where Los Angeles is located, passed a law prohibiting the use of public funds to host the Olympic Games.

As a result, in the case that the Los Angeles Municipal Government cannot provide financial assistance, the Los Angeles Olympic Games will face two fate: either cancel it or hand it over to private companies to organize it.

In the negotiations with the Los Angeles Municipal Government, the International Olympic Committee was forced to make major concessions, and recognized as a special case the first-ever unparalleled transfer of the Los Angeles Olympic Games to private individuals and the preparation of the Olympic Games in the form of industrial and commercial enterprises.

The so-called special case, I believe that only the world's number one power can win it. But as soon as this example is opened, a series of bottom-line sweeps follow. The commercial sponsorship of the Olympic torch relay of US$3,000 per kilometer is so noticeable only because it is a traditional link. In fact, a discerning businessman like Tang Huan got more and more advertising opportunities in private.

The opening of the Olympic Games is imminent, and these propaganda machines are naturally running at full capacity. After Tang Huan returned to the United States from Europe, he began to cooperate without stopping.

In the entire Los Angeles Olympic torch relay route, the last two stops are San Diego, the southernmost point in California, and Los Angeles, the host city, and the third to last stop is San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, the three major cities in the San Francisco Bay Area. About 70% of the Olympic torch relay in the three places was sponsored by Tang Huan, which is not an exaggeration.

For Tang Huan, these expenses are naturally a drop in the bucket, not to mention that Fangyuan corresponds to San Francisco, ea corresponds to Oakland, and Zheru corresponds to San Jose.

The organization of the torch relay is very open. The public can not only watch the torchbearer's progress on the road up close, but also have the right to vote in the selection of the torchbearer.

In other words, under commercial operations, the torch relay has become a big party, far more grounded than the previous Olympic Games.

Not surprisingly, Tang Huan is also one of the torchbearers, and the section he is responsible for is in San Jose, which is Silicon Valley.

Under continuous publicity, high-tech companies in Silicon Valley have shown the same enthusiasm for this activity.

Tang Huan became the first torchbearer on this section. It was not because he didn't know how to be humble, but because he didn't know how to run with a 1kg torch. It really tested his physical fitness.

At the beginning, Tang Huan specifically asked whether the two founders of HP, William Wheelett and David Pockard, were interested in participating, but these two were too old and could not adapt to this effort.

Next, Tang Huan got to know the meaning of Intel founder Robert Noyce. The other party is less than sixty this year and should be competent. But Robert Noyce had a heart attack, and he might not have adapted to such a lively occasion. After thinking about it, he refused.

When these most qualified Silicon Valley seniors withdrew one by one, Tang Huan became the first person to do his part. This was also voted by the people of the San Francisco Bay Area. No one else was qualified to grab the limelight.

Tang Huan was also followed by four volunteers serving as security guards, one of which was through the Shennong Foundation's student fund. The benefits of going from Hong Kong to studying at a university in the US.

This is also a major feature of the organization of this Olympic Games. That is to say, volunteers of unprecedented scale have been recruited for various activities. Most of them came from various universities, and some Chinese students also got the opportunity to exercise.

Tang Huanshun successfully completed his road section without any accidents such as the robbery of the torch. Even if there were any, he could kick it over.

"Help me keep this souvenir first." Tang Huan handed the extinguished torch to Lizhi and exhorted a few words.

...

In addition to Tang Huan's own participation in the torch relay, many of his companies have been selected as torchbearers, especially urban heroes like the Oakland Raiders who won the Super Bowl. More popular with people.

It can be said that the private torch relay not only helped Tang Huan gain his reputation, but also showed how Tang Huan’s achievements in the San Francisco Bay Area have been operating for five years.

As the torch turns to the next stop, the national carnival in San Francisco has come to an end, and Tang Huan is also preparing to move to Los Angeles.

The two cousins ​​Han Sining and Han Siwei, who want to watch the Olympic games live, have already arrived in San Francisco under the leadership of their parents Han An Yong and Wen Ya.

In order to treat rheumatism, my uncle Han An-yong visited the United States accompanied by his wife Wen Ya, and was familiar with the situation here. But Han Sining and Han Siwei felt that everything was fresh. Once they arrived in San Francisco, they pestered their cousin Meng Jing, who went to school here. Take them out to play.

Seeing the two little stalkers shouting so loudly in the United States, Meng Jing, who was troubled by it, decided to "learn" them.

After asking Han Sining and Han Siwei the amount of pocket money, Meng Jing first led them to meet the younger generation, that is, Tang Huan's child.

Looking at the lovely pair of twins, Han Sining and Han Siwei couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, and these little nephews were also very strange and weird, and stretched out their little hands to meet each other.

Amid Meng Jing’s snickers, Han Sining and Han Siwei ran away their wealth in order to support the scene, so naturally they couldn’t afford the cousin, the tour guide.

These two brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps either. After discussing it, they decided to recover the loss from the cousin. So when they saw Tang Huan, they flattered, "Brother, you're so amazing!"

Tang Huan had heard of the joke directed by Meng Jing, and he could guess it by looking at the smiling faces of the two hippies.

He didn't click it, and asked nonchalantly, "Where am I?"

The big cousin Han Sining gave the answer without thinking, "When you held the torch, so many people cheered for it, both majestic and handsome."

Little cousin Han Siwei felt that his lines had been snatched away, so he couldn't help but glared at his elder brother, and then wisely replied, "You have got so many nephews for us, so amazing!"

Tang Huan, who was drinking from the cup, couldn't hold back a smile, and sprayed out a sip of water.

He stretched out his finger, flicked Han Siwei’s little head, and said with a smile: “It’s good to know, you have to look like an uncle when you are an uncle. Don’t forget it during Chinese New Year. You have to give the red envelopes to your nephews. Get ready."

Han Siwei suddenly wrinkled his face and said honestly: "We just went broke."

"Since I'm in the United States, I'll teach you two brothers." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Teach you how to support yourself."

"We're here to travel." Han Sining, who felt that the plan was going to be ruined, was going to drive off.

Tang Huan took out two 20 dollars and shook it at Han Siwei who was standing there, "Do you want to get out of bankruptcy?"

"Yes!" Han Siwei, who was not yet ten years old, nodded very sincerely.

"Then I will arrange the work for you." Tang Huan put a $20 sheet in Han Siwei's hands, "First be the kindergarten monitor for a week, and then decide the next arrangement based on the evaluation."

"Don't say the monitor, I can be a teacher." Han Siwei accepted the task with a smile.

"I'm here to be a teacher." Seeing that his younger brother had succumbed to it, Han Sining also planned to do good.

"Okay, let you be a teacher." With an inexplicable smile in Tang Huan's eyes, he handed another 20 dollars to Han Sining.

He could see that his two little cousins ​​were a little bit squeamish and arrogant, so let them get a closer look at the power of supernormal children? Don't the little nephews just ask for red envelopes.

...

After arriving in Los Angeles, Tang Huan first inspected the press center he donated to. It applies Pacific Telecom's communication technology, as well as Fangyuan and Zheru's computer technology, which can be regarded as the most modern office technology content.

Media reporters can get one-stop services such as writing, printing, copying, faxing, e-mailing, etc., to deliver the latest news of the Olympic Games as quickly as possible.

Observing the volunteers who have undergone technical training, busy pointing out how the media professionals who have basically been in place use these latest office equipment, Tang Huan asked: "How about it, they all adapt to the office environment here? "

"At least half of the reporters have used Fangyuan personal computers and Zheru's word processing software before, so the speed of acceptance is still very good." The person in charge replied with ease.

Tang Huan nodded slightly with satisfaction, but when he saw the dense honeycomb route, he couldn't help frowning, but in the end he could only shake his head and give up.

Computers use modems to access online services such as e-mail based on the telephone network, often requiring two lines to be opened, because telephone voice and data communications cannot coexist on the same line.

Each telecommunications company, of course, would like to see users apply for an additional line, because this way, it means an extra income.

But it is precisely because of this immediate profit model that various communication companies are not motivated to find upgrade solutions for data services on the traditional telephone network, making the ISDN integrated service digital network with fully digital lines a universally recognized next-generation The successor of the telecommunications network.

The communication solution provided by Pacific Telecom for the Los Angeles Olympics was very successful, but it also unmistakably exposed the shortcomings of the existing analog telephone network, which incurred criticism for its delay in building the next-generation network.

Listed companies really cannot ignore such influences of public opinion.

Chuck Smith, CEO of Pacific Telecom, smiled bitterly after the meeting: "I wanted to report to you in detail on this issue after the Olympics, but now it seems that the hype has become a bad news."

Tang Huan, who had heard such rumors from Tang Wenmao a long time ago, waved his hand disapprovingly, “Be calm and be restless, the technical roadmap is all in my mind, and those industry commentators simply don’t understand. Traditional simulation. The telephone network is not so useless, and it is not impossible for its data transmission rate to reach 56kpbs."

Hearing Tang Huan talked about such a high index~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Chuck Smith couldn’t help being a little skeptical, but it was not easy to refute, so he turned to ask: “That can be done at the same time on the same route like ISDN. Do you realize voice calls and data services?"

"Don't worry, there is a solution to this limitation." Tang Huan replied confidently, and then pointed out meaningfully: "The Bell system has left us the best traditional telephone network in the world, and its value is far from fully developed. Come out, I know it very well in my heart."

Seeing the boss so confident and unfathomable, Chuck Smith had no choice but to clear his mind and nod his head. (To be continued.)
