Chapter 0018 Diamond Ring
Sending Gates and Allen away, Tang Huan walked back to the office while thinking. He was a little dissatisfied with Gates' reaction and suggested that Microsoft focus on programming tools such as BASIC, while Zerone took over office software products such as CGrid and WordEasy. Everyone is not in trouble and develops the market together to create a win-win situation. But the other party did not make a clear statement. Do you think it was a loss?
It seems that no one can be content and happiness in the face of interests.
I remember that Gates and Gary Kildale, the developer of CP/M, had a good relationship, and reached a tacit understanding of the two companies' programming tools and operating systems not cross-border and coordinated development. However, Microsoft purchased Unix authorization from AT&T this year and created an operating system called Xenix.
According to Tang Huan's idea, at present, the personal computer software market is divided into three parts, which is the best way to cooperate.
Unfortunately, Gates is scheming and not so easy to reach an agreement. However, the relatively simple Kildale can find an opportunity to visit. Anyway, the other party's digital research company is not far from here.
Tang Huan was thinking about it. Wang Xuehong came over to send a report on Apple's business conditions. This was the convenience of getting Apple's stocks to enter the Apple board of directors. However, at the same time, Jobs and others were almost familiar with Zerone's dynamics. The projects of developing game consoles and cheap computers were criticized by the other party, believing that Zerone should only focus on software.
This is the price, but Tang Huan did not stop his plan, and even if he divided so many shares, he was still the absolute ruler of the company.
With the full cooperation of Zerone products, the influence of Apple computers has further expanded, and the market has responded very well. Sales volume is expected to reach the long-awaited target of over 10,000 yuan in September. Jobs and other management teams were stimulated by huge profits and their eyes were red. They increased their marketing and public relations, and successively received orders from the state government and several universities.
You guys work hard, I'll wait for Apple to go public next year to make a big profit.
Tang Huan put down the documents with satisfaction, got up and left the office, and drove back to San Francisco. He and Deng Lijun made an appointment to meet at their aunt's restaurant, and then walked around the city together.
To avoid
In the turbulent situation in Southeast Asia in the mid-1960s, Tang Huan's grandfather moved to the west coast of the United States and started his business in his later years. Although the old man had passed away, he really left behind many high-quality assets, such as the restaurant run by his aunt and the international trading company controlled by Tang Xuan's father.
This is also due to the fact that the international economic order has not undergone major changes in the initial stage, some gold jewelry carried by the Tang family have played a significant role in promoting funds.
At that time, the Bretton Woods system based on gold and the US dollar as its main international reserve currency was still there. The US dollar was directly pegged to gold, while the currencies of various countries were pegged to the US dollar, and gold could be exchanged to the United States at the official price of 35 US dollars per ounce.
As for now, the Bretton Woods system has long collapsed, and the US dollar is no longer linked to gold. If calculated based on data from a certain stage in the previous life, an ounce of gold can be exchanged for more than 1,300 US dollars, which shows the depreciation trend of the US dollar.
If it were in such a situation at that time, Tang Huan's grandfather might not have adapted to such rules. At least the trade business between the West Coast of the United States and Southeast Asia would not have been so smooth.
The restaurant is relatively leisurely during this period. As soon as Tang Huan entered the door, he saw Deng Lijun playing mahjong with his aunt. The other two middle-aged women judged that they were both wealthy and noble in the Chinese circle.
Seeing Tang Huan coming, Tang Yun smiled and said, "Come and pick Lijun, you can leave after this game."
Tang Huan nodded and gently patted Celine's little head sitting behind Deng Lijun and yawning.
After Tang Huan left with two beauties, one big and one young, a middle-aged woman asked Tang Yun, "I heard that your nephew opened a high-tech company, how is the business?"
Tang Yun smiled indifferently, "It should be OK, I didn't ask too much."
After experiencing too many storms in this life, Tang Yun knew that the necessary low-keyness was a kind of protection. The company founded by Tang Huan was too jealous of its money-making ability.
In fact, Tang Huan brought Deng Lijun out mainly for shopping, and the first goal was naturally a diamond ring. This idea was confirmed last night. With Tang Huan's current net worth of nearly 10 million, there is no difficulty at all. It's just how to spend time picking up satisfactory jewelry.
Deng Lijun may have a complicated mood about marriage, but she is particularly happy and attentive about choosing a marriage token.
Union Square in downtown San Francisco, there are many famous stores here. As long as you have enough money, customers can return home with satisfaction.
When he brought the selected Cartier diamond ring to Deng Lijun's finger, Tang Huan couldn't help but blush with excitement. Compared with Deng Lijun's faint shyness, he looked like a bull in love, and was so embarrassing.
In addition to the diamond ring, I also bought a lot of other jewelry. The young follower Celine got a bracelet and her aunt also had a filial piety. Everyone took it into consideration. Tang Huan then gave up, and she was a nouveau riche.
When men pay for something, they are just as refreshing and refreshing as they don’t spend much time. However, when Deng Lijun selected watches for Tang Huan, it was quite cumbersome, but this was a manifestation of love. As a reborn person, Tang Huan naturally saw it thoroughly and felt happy.
Deng Lijun is a rich sister. She was no less generous when buying gifts for her lover than Tang Huan. In the end, she chose a Rolex watch worth more than 8,000 US dollars.
Little Loli Celine was already intoxicated by the prosperity in front of her. Especially after seeing Deng Lijun's spending money, her idea of becoming a big star became more and more determined.
Seeing Celine's appearance, Tang Huan smiled faintly. Over the past few days, the little girl has been eye-opening and has gained a lot of experience. I believe that after introducing her to that agent next year, it will not be so easy for people to eat young grass.
During the break between Deng Lijun's payment, Tang Huan accidentally saw an acquaintance standing not far away, Tang Xuan. When the two met, the other party snorted disdainfully, "I know how to eat soft food, I really embarrass the person named Tang."
"I'm so unsatisfied, it's just right for you. No one is competing for a seat with you."
Tang Huan responded without caring, and looked at Tang Xuan up and down, "I heard that you went to Baodao and went on a blind date to discuss business in two-in-one. Now I'm back, I'm going to have both people and money. This bowl of soft rice is indeed more decent than me."
Tang Xuan's face suddenly turned dark. Just as he was about to retort, a Chinese girl came over, "Brother Tang Xuan, is this your friend?"
Tang Xian nodded vaguely, holding the girl's hand and leaving, but when the other party saw Deng Lijun at first sight, he immediately looked at the little stars, and walked over quickly, smiling and said, "Miss Deng, I am your fan."
Deng Lijun could have been able to deal with this kind of scene for a long time.
After the girl was about to sign the autograph, she kept talking, "I don't know what happened this year. Your career and Lin Qingxia are so unsuccessful, so you won't mention it. Lin Qingxia actually committed suicide at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival. Fortunately, she discovered it in time and was rescued..."
Tang Xuan frowned, grabbed the girl's hand impatiently, and walked out of the store.
Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, "The gossip girl with such a good news."
This little episode just passed, and Tang Huan and Deng Lijun's shopping plan was completed, so they took Celine back to their residence.
Tang Huan was still cooking in person today. Deng Lijun couldn't stand the smell of oil smoke, so Celine started and quickly prepared a sumptuous dinner.
That night, Tang Huan and Deng Lijun remained in love, needless to say, and the curious little loli didn't come to steal again, as if there was less strange excitement.
...
At San Francisco International Airport, Tang Huan, who had been tying the bullet and came to pick him up, was looking around absent-mindedly, and soon he saw a tall girl walking towards him with her suitcase.
"What are you looking at with a big and heartless eyes? Didn't you see me coming?" Zhuang Menghua scolded angrily.
Tang Huan looked up and down and exclaimed, "It's really a girl who has changed so much. I haven't seen her for a few years. The yellow-haired girl at the time has also grown into a beautiful woman."
"You still have some vision." Zhuang Menghua snorted and stuffed her suitcase into Tang Huan's hands. "Where is your car?"
"Just there, come with me." Tang Huan raised his hand and pointed.
After getting into the car, Zhuang Menghua discovered that there were two beauties, one big and one small, one middle and one foreign, in the back seats.
"Deng Lijun?" Zhuang Menghua asked softly with some uncertainty.
"How do you speak? You're so rude, call me sister-in-law." Tang Huan finally found an excuse to teach Zhuang Menghua a lesson.
Looking at Zhuang Menghua who made a grimace, Deng Lijun smiled and nodded, "Hello, Menghua."
"Miss Deng, it's really you. In this way, the news reported in various newspapers in Xiangjiang is true." Zhuang Menghua glared at Tang Huan angrily and muttered unwillingly, "I don't know what kind of mystery soup you, a guy, have given Miss Deng."
"This is called fate, and you don't understand it even if you say it." Tang Huan looked too lazy to explain to you.
Zhuang Menghua cut, ignored Tang Huan, and completely turned his attention to Deng Lijun.
From this point of view, Deng Lijun's star aura was not overshadowed by her failure to appear in Southeast Asia in a few months.
As soon as he sent Zhuang Menghua to his aunt's restaurant, the company called and told him that if there was an urgent matter, it would be better to go to Apple.
There are no mobile phones these days, so communication is really troublesome. Tang Huan complained secretly, explained to everyone, and drove to Apple in Cupertino.
