Rebirth of the Tech Madman

As soon as Tang Huan arrived in London, England, he received a message that the meeting with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had been postponed and the time was uncertain, so it was almost cancelled.

"Brother also manages every day, and the itinerary is planned at least a week in advance. Why did you wait until I flew all the way to the UK before you said it. If I knew this, I might as well go to Spain to watch the World Cup." Tang Huan is very There was a murmur in his heart unhappy.

"I only need half an hour of meeting time, or a purely private meeting. In short, I can't go for nothing." Tang Huan ordered his subordinates to contact the Prime Minister's Office on Downing Street.

Tang Huan looked through the documents while waiting for a reply, but the result was that the other party vaguely said "inconvenient."

"What do you mean?" Tang Huan frowned immediately. Is this because he wants to dry himself and put pressure on him.

He immediately slapped the table in annoyance, and reprimanded: "What are you doing, why is the information sent to me like toothpaste, bit by bit, can't you explain the reason for the inconvenience?"

"Tangning Street made this arrangement deliberately. Although we can see it, there is no way for the moment." The subordinate aggrieved and said the details of the work.

"You mean that the other party is going to play with us deliberately, right?" Tang Huan narrowed his eyes, "Then you can cooperate, run your legs again, and find out the reason."

After his subordinates left, Tang Huan said to himself, "Where do I ask to go to the British now? Otherwise, why are they so confidently planning to pinch me?"

After thinking of this, Tang Huan deliberately looked at the report form carefully, the game console computer and peripheral equipment software video recorder...Sales have been rising steadily, and it has not been affected.

As for movies, many movies headed by "et aliens" have also landed on British theaters as usual.

I flew over from Xiangjiang, and there is no major situation there.

Tang Huan was suspicious, his subordinates finally brought back the answer, and he brought a stack of newspapers from the past week. The top one is "The Sun".

It turned out that the Cassiopeia game console, which had its roots in the tree, has since its hardware platform was cracked, and ea has followed the Atari vs. Atari 2600. Lost full control over their own products.

Not only have manufacturers taking advantage of loopholes produce illegal compatible machines and sell them to Eastern Europe and Latin America, but also many notorious video games have emerged.

A mouse feces, a pot of porridge, is used to describe the bad effects caused by these black sheep. It couldn't be more appropriate.

Of course, ea does not want to see this situation, but there is no way. Who has driven the current electronic game industry in the North American market into madness?

Cassidy game consoles and Atari 2600, which occupy an absolute market share, are now fully open to hardware platforms, but those who are ready to take advantage of this free environment to make money are toasted and cheered.

Especially after Atari lost to Activision in a lawsuit, the law does not guarantee the parity of its Atari 2600 hardware, so it is logical that the Atari game console will follow suit.

In short, people just want to divide the land with the local tyrants, what can you do? The general trend of popular support. However, ea and Atari can only pinch their noses to recognize them.

The bad influence of these bad games has spread to Europe, and some elites in the UK have taken the lead in responding to this.

For example, the famous host of the British Broadcasting Corporation; Jimmy Saville, who criticized him in the program, and simply put the responsibility on ea's head.

The status of BBC’s "; ofthe" and "Pop Music Charts" is self-evident in the music industry, and Jimmy Saville is the ace host of this ace show.

Every time on the show, Jimmy Savile's exaggerated and thin body. She has a shriveled face, silver hair like a pot lid is buckled on her head like a helmet, a dazzling waterproof track suit with dazzling jewelry, and a huge cigar. It can be described as "extremely coquettish" and is extremely impressive.

Jimmy Savile, who was born in poverty, was originally a coal miner, but he injured his waist in an accident in the 1950s, so he turned to tour various small bars and became more and more popular.

By the late 1950s. Jimmy Saville has become the head of 45 dance halls across the country and can be said to be the originator of the British DJ.

After entering the 1960s, Jimmy Saville first appeared in front of the public as a radio dj. He joined the BBC in 1964 and has become popular throughout Great Britain ever since.

Jimmy Saville has hosted more than 200 episodes of the show since New Year’s Day in 1964, when the BBC launched the first issue of "Pop Music Charts." His distinctive rap sound and Dadaist style have become a beautiful scene in the show. .

In 1975, Jimmy Savile appeared in the ";;it" and "Let Jimmy Do It" as the "Uncle of the Country" as the uncle of all British children.

When the ratings of this show reached its peak, almost 20,000 children would write letters every week, asking Jimmy Saville to fulfill their wishes, such as meeting their favorite football players or being able to sing with their favorite band. and many more.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jimmy Savile is the supreme king of entertainment in this era, the top idol, and the business card of the BBC.

More importantly, Jimmy Saville is also enthusiastic about charity and very generous. It is said that up to 90% of his income is donated. He raised tens of millions of pounds to build hospitals and schools. Many charitable projects are related to helping young people.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Jimmy Saville is the "saint Saville".

Because of Jimmy Savile's huge social influence, he and the British royal family, as well as the previous prime ministers, are very close.

For example, the current British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is a good friend of Jimmy Saville. He could kick off his shoes at Thatcher's house without seeing him, sit in front of the fireplace, and watch the Christmas event with Mrs. Thatcher.

It is such an energetic "Uncle State" who righteously accused that "ea's little overlord game console has affected the healthy growth of our British children." The public opinion consequences caused by it must not be underestimated.

Especially at the time when Tang Huan had just seriously damaged the interests of the British Far East commercial interest groups, Britain, which had already withdrawn from the quagmire of the Falklands War, was thinking about remedying it. It's just that the dog bites the hedgehog and can't make the mouth, so he looks good and prepares to coordinate with Tang Huan.

Jimmy Savile is making such a case now, regardless of whether the motive is to be famous or secretly instructed by other interest groups. Will undoubtedly give Britain a high-sounding excuse.

As for the bad games that ea wants to buckle, it is not developed by itself at all, but the sentence "Are you ea's Xiaobawang game console" can forcibly block ea's mouth.

Gein, Britain only needs an excuse.

In fact, even if the interests of the Xiaobawang game console in the UK are completely lost, it will not have much serious impact on Tang Huan. Moreover, this incident is still in the initial stage of fermentation, and it is not clear how much profit loss will eventually be caused. .

However, this sign is not good. You know, Tang Huan also has products such as computers and peripherals, software video recorders, and so on. All can be used as a target. Although he is not worried about the British daring to beat himself with open flames, the toad jumps on the feet and does not bite people.

In terms of Tang Huan's acting style, of course he has to think and eliminate unfavorable factors in the budding state.

Seeing Tang Huan looking at the newspaper silently, his subordinates cautiously added: "The Prime Minister's Office is venting the wind. In view of ea's inadequate supervision of its own products, the relevant authorities in the UK will make a fine, and before this problem is resolved. It is forbidden to sell Xiaobawang game consoles in the UK."

"Very good, first courtesy and then soldiers" Tang Huan hummed coldly, "Maybe it can be a powerful bargaining chip."

"In addition to newspapers like The Sun, which are trying to keep the world intact and try to sell them. The BBC is also helping the flames, which is a bit strange. After all, this media organization does not have the need for such a business war to fight the muddy waters. "

Every family or business in the UK must purchase a one-year television license to ensure that the BBC has sufficient funds to "educate and entertain" the public. The specific fees are set by the government.

It is because of this special source of funding. The BBC’s program does not contain any commercials.

And in theory, BBC program producers are not driven by any commercial interests.

But this is only in theory. How can the BBC be able to completely avoid cannibalism? In fact, it still needs to face pressures such as politics.

"To some extent, there is actually a conflict of interests between us and the BBC." Tang Huan smiled sarcastically. "I remember that the BBC is actively promoting a project called; puter; , The purpose is to promote them in the education system; personal computers, personal computer products from companies such as Fangyuan, Apple, Compost, Texas Instruments, and even Xiaobawang game consoles with early education functions are all competitors, and they have considerable advantages."

In fact, the United Kingdom has made considerable achievements in the initial stage of the field of personal computers. For example, around the University of Cambridge, there have been more than a dozen personal computer companies, including Icon Computer.

With so much “crowdfunding” from the public every year, the BBC certainly has to make a difference. So as early as the early 1980s, it began to pay attention to the possible industrial revolution triggered by microcomputers, and its impact on the future economy of the United Kingdom. The impact of life.

Because it received half of the subsidy from the government, the British Broadcasting Corporation ambitiously launched; puter; planning, research and development; standard personal computers, and the British local Aikon computer used; 6502 microprocessor personal computer technology , Has been favored by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

By December 1981, the plan came to fruition, and the BBC launched two; a and ;b; standard personal computers, priced at 235 pounds and 335 pounds, respectively.

The BBC’s wishes are good, but don’t forget that the current personal computer industry can be described as tragic.

In the price range of about 500 US dollars, in addition to the competition from the United Kingdom, such as the company’s similar products, zx, there are also more excellent ones from the United States, including Comoda’s 64. Product competition.

It must be mentioned that the veteran powerhouse tandy computer in this type of product also comes to join in the fun with a brand-new attitude.

Originally, Tang Huan decided to let its personal computer product tandy die naturally after the electronic chain store acquired it, and even murderously transferred its project leader to Silicon Valley, so that the team was completely integrated with other project groups. in.

But what made Tang Huan dumbfounded was that the tandy computer, known as a junk computer, was given a new lease of life in Silicon Valley by adopting the Fangyuan computer architecture.

Thanks to effective cost reduction measures such as the adoption of the z80 microprocessor fully shrunk to the 8-bit isa bus produced in the Special Economic Zone of Mainland China and other effective cost reduction measures, the price of the new tandy computer easily reached the range of US$500.

Coupled with a variety of free entry-level philosophical software and trial versions of ea games, the competitiveness of tandy computers is eye-catching.

Seeing that there was also a cheap PC competitor for the Xiaobawang game console in his own product camp, Tang Huan, who was too big, simply left it to his department to arrange business strategies instead of forcibly suppressing it as previously planned.

Gein Tang Huan also understood that the existence is reasonable, and the "junk computers" under $500 correspond to the equivalent of a miscellaneous personal computer of 2000 to 3000 RMB in the original time and space. There are indeed a considerable number of customers~www. NovelMTL.com~I am willing to buy it home as a toy.

Now that the subordinates have tossed out such products that are not at a loss, don't kill them. Continue to toss during the tenure, and maybe they can still play a role outside the plan.

Tang Huan’s indifference is to give it invisibly; it’s not surprising that a stronger competitor was added, which caused the BBC’s discomfort.

After smoothing the hidden complicated relationship with his subordinates, Tang Huan looked at the picture of Jimmy Savile in the newspaper and couldn't help but get irritated, "What a decent guy, when is it your turn to jump out and pretend to be a Virgin?"

Tang Huan waved his hand, called the most powerful assistant, and said in a deep voice: "Look for a private detective to investigate this guy secretly. Pay special attention to the scenes where he is in contact with underage girls in residential hospitals, schools and other places. I want photos like this. Demonstration." To be continued.

ps: There are no chapters, it is blocked. A rough estimate is that there are 60,000 to 70,000 words missing. I can’t help it for the time being. After all, this book can survive, so it’s very fortunate... Well, learn to be grateful. Well, thanks to the book friends who are still supporting this book...
