Carter is only 56 years old this year and is in the golden age of political elites. Tang Huan is confident that the other party will not be willing to live a dull life after leaving office.

The same was true in time and space. Carter only became silent for a short period of time and became active again, engaging in busy political, economic and social activities.

In addition to being like Reagan, who was very old and lived in simplicity, his colleagues actually followed this route. Perhaps Clinton was the most obvious example.

There has always been a joke in Americans: President Carter is more competent when he is not president than when he is president; Clinton is more competent when he is president than when he is not president.

It can be seen from this that Carter's level in exerting residual heat is not average.

"Dang, this matter sounds very meaningful, but I need to think about it carefully." Carter pondered for a moment and slowly spoke out his decision.

"This is what it should be, and the President is still busy with official duties now." Tang Huan smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding.

Not rejecting it in person is a positive attitude. After all, the president must be reserved. Tang Huan, who is observing in detail, naturally has to give Carter enough face.

After a meal at the White House, Tang Huan completed the mission and was successfully over. He planned to go to the headquarters of the three and knock on the heads of the directors.

...

I don’t know if Tang Huan and 3’s eight characters are incompatible. This itinerary suddenly appeared and had to be temporarily cancelled because of higher priority. Because John Beckett, chairman and president of Pan American, officially proposed to meet Tang Huan.

After Lianmei went public and raised funds in 1957, insurance giant Panmei acquired 98% of its stocks in 1967, turning Lianmei into part of its huge industrial group.

Although ea had purchased 40% of United States shares from Pan America before, the remaining shares in Pan America still guaranteed it enough voice.

Therefore, if Tang Huan wanted to take the United States under his command, he could only pinch his nose and be shouted from the far east coast to the west coast.

"I was overwhelmed by the fact that I was visiting the insurance company for my employee insurance plan, and Pan American personnel came to visit me." Tang Huan, standing at the window, heard Chambers say this.

From here, you can see that construction workers and machinery are busy on the construction site not far away.

Zheru's office space was not enough, but it was not until recently that he had discussed the nearby land.

After all, this is not a simple word "demolition" that can solve all problems, and there are many benefits that require coordination.

But in order to create this new technology community centered on philosophers and Confucianism, the small city of Cupertino is still very enthusiastic and cooperative.

"Why, are there many insurance companies interested in our insurance plans?" Tang Huan walked back to his seat.

"This is inevitable. Some people have predicted that our number of employees will exceed 10,000 in the next two years, becoming another big guy in Silicon Valley. The potential of this business is self-evident." Chambers nodded.

"Experts always like to be roundworms in other people's stomachs." Tang Huan sighed contemptuously, "Panmei is not interested in this business, right? Anyway, it's meaningless to stay in the company's hands, so she beats the rabbit and takes another business with her hands."

"I think that's the case." Chambers laughed.

At this time, his subordinates prepared the information, and Tang Huan stood up and rushed to San Francisco.

...

Pan American headquarters - Pan American Pyramids, located in the historic San Francisco financial district - Montgomery district. According to the price 10 years ago, the building cost was US$32 million. It started construction in 1969 and completed in 1972. It has a total of 48 floors and a height of 260 meters. It is the tallest skyscraper and postmodernist building in San Francisco, and is currently one of the 100 tallest buildings in the world.

Because of the shape of the building's pyramid, the Pan American pyramid has become one of the most important components of the San Francisco skyline.

Just like the original "shorts" and "short pants" in time and space, the innovative design plan of architect William Pereira has been subjected to a lot of opposition and even abuse during the planning and construction.

The building is shaped like a pyramid on four sides, with an elevator shaft on the east and a stair shaft on the west, and a steep top of 64.6 meters at the highest point.

At the top of the spire is a virtual viewing platform with cameras installed in four directions and four monitors in the lounge, so visitors can control the direction and distance.

The Pan American pyramid is enough to attract attention, which just reflects John Beckett's philosophy of managing Pan American, that is, to build a well-known brand. This is why he forced the films distributed by Lianmei to be marked as Pan American, and even wanted Lianmei to directly change its name to Pan American Film.

Unfortunately, John Beckett's wishful thinking was not realized, and he was boycotted by the middle and senior executives of the United States, and he was still trying to make the United States an independent film company again.

John Beckett's attitude was very tough. In 1978, the conflict intensified so much that it was irreversible. These key figures in the United States forced to leave collectively. As a result, the leadership of the United States was replaced and Andy Albert took office.

Everyone left the earth and turned, and John Beckett's idea was confirmed.

Andy Albert did a very good job in 1979. United States achieved great success in four movies: Rockyii, Manhattan, Onraker, and Theblackstallion.

But as confidence is over-inflated, United States fell to a bruised face in "Gate of Heaven" which invested $4,400 this year.

After seeing this situation, John Beckett did not have any fantasy about Lianhei. Moreover, the previous forced the management of Lianhei to leave collectively, which caused a bad impact in Hollywood. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a ferocious relationship with Hollywood. The business of movies has become a waste of money and is tasteless. There is no need to continue holding it in your hands.

On the huge desk, there is a Pan American balance sheet. Among the huge assets of billions, United States only occupies a small table.

John Beckett picked up the pen, crossed out the name of Lianmei without expression, announcing one of the eight major Hollywood companies, and was removed from the list of Pan American.

It can be said that John Beckett is fully qualified to regard United States as an abstract and cold number.

You should know that it was under his leadership that Pan American grew from an unknown private holding company to a financial giant with a diversified business and extremely well-known brand.

John Beckett became the chairman and president of Pan American in 1960. During his tenure, Pan American revenue increased 20 times, becoming one of the top 100 companies in the United States, controlling airlines, budgettrent-a-carco, namely Baji Car Rental, Delavaltur, Delavaltur, and insurance company Occidentallifeinsurance.

The little Lianmei has not been seen by him, but how to maximize the benefits is the issue worth considering.

...

Tang Huan came to the Pan American headquarters of the Pan American Pyramid, No. 600 Montgomery Street. After meeting John Beckett, the other party spoke very simply, "I want to buy the remaining shares of Lianmei. No problem, but I am very interested in EA."

I have to say that John Beckett, who is 62 years old this year, is getting stronger and stronger, and is extremely strong.

Tang Huan stretched out his finger and pointed upwards, and replied lightly, "This Pan American pyramid looks pretty good, and I'm more interested."

John Beckett was stunned for a moment, then laughed disapprovingly, "Young man, do you know the initial cost of this building and the current value of its assets?"

"This month is the last month of 1980. Do you know how much ea's sales will reach this year?" Tang Huan asked calmly.

"Ea is not a listed company, how could I know?" John Beckett suppressed the momentum of the young man in front of him and continued leisurely: "But I heard that there will be hundreds of millions of dollars. It is really amazing that the company has only been established for more than a year and can achieve such a success. This is also the reason why I am interested."

"EA is already a global company, and its sales in the North American market this year will definitely exceed $1 billion." Tang Huan replied solemnly, "That is to say, EA's financial situation is very good, there is no shortage of funds, and there is no intention to introduce investors."

Hearing this, John Beckett's face froze, staring at Tang Huan's eyes and pondered.

Tang Huan's eyes gradually became sharper, "I am very honored that you are interested in ea. However, when I came here today, I just want to briefly talk about the acquisition of Lianmei, and I don't want to involve other aspects."

"United States is insignificant to Pan American. You can wait for a while to see the situation and wait for the price." John Beckett said slowly.

"If Pan American really plans like this, it doesn't matter. The 40% shares that ea spent more than one billion to buy can still be kept in his hands, not short of this money. Moreover, Lianmei is a listed company, so there is a chance of stock trading." Tang Huan said, and stood up and said goodbye.

"How much is EA willing to invest in the remaining 58% of United States stocks?" John Beckett quickly changed the subject and mentioned substantive issues.

"Just refer to the previous price of 40% of the shares. You know, "Gate of Heaven" invested 44 million US dollars, and the box office was only more than 3 million US dollars, which is twice as high as the media's initial estimate. Unfortunately, it is meaningless. This deficit is very tricky." Tang Huan shook his head repeatedly, with a look of regret, "In addition, we can trade cash at one time, so we should discuss the price."

Seeing Tang Huan performing hypocritically, John Beckett's nose was almost pissed.

The reason why Pan American sold 40% of Lianmei shares was to share the risks of investing in Lianmei. At the same time, he thought that EA was a nouveau riche who was forgetful and it would be better to pull someone into the water.

Unexpectedly, this transaction has become the upper limit for selling Lianmei. If I had known this, I would have waited until now. Take advantage of this 98% of the shares as a whole.

John Beckett decided to let go of this topic for the time being and strive for another goal. "I heard that the company under your name is starting a small project for employee insurance?"

"It's true. However, this project should not be small, and the company's scale is expanding rapidly, and it only takes a few years to reach more than 10,000 employees." The expression on Tang Huan's face seemed to be a smile, which always made people feel a sarcastic meaning in it.

John Beckett felt uncomfortable, but he was helpless, so he decided to open the skylight and say something bright, "Pan American is a famous large company that runs insurance business. How about handing this order directly to us?"

"Is this an additional condition for the acquisition of Lianmei?" Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, "If we originally planned to bid, if we hand it over to Pan American directly, will the service quality be guaranteed?"

"Is the service quality guaranteed? This question is simply a joke." John Beckett showed a proud look on his face. "Do you think Pan American brands are so unfounded?"

"There are some of us new companies, but there, it looks a bit shallow." Tang Huan smiled sly. "I think the office model of the old company Pan American should keep pace with the times. Some high-tech elements have been introduced into the business process. The use of the second-generation Fangyuan computer can definitely help Pan American further improve service quality."

"The idea is good and worth considering." John Beckett glanced at the information in his hand. "You have stated that EA will seek listing as soon as possible. Even if EA does not need investors now, vito still needs to introduce investors. So it is better to allow Pan American investment to invest in a sum of funds before this."

"Does Pan American want to learn the investment miracle that Xerox creates in Apple? You have really put a lot of effort into collecting information." Tang Huan nodded with clarity, "Yes, I allow Pan American to invest $1 million in a legal period before EA went public. That's enough."

"The amount of 1 million is a little less..." John Beckett shook his head.

"When will Pan American start using the second-generation square and round computer?" Tang Huan intercepted John Beckett's words.

"It seems that there is no such precedent for personal computers to be used in large financial institutions?" John Beckett seemed to have a innocent street stall.

"Isn't being a pioneer in the industry better able to improve your brand image?" Tang Huan forced him desperately.

After all, John Beckett is an old man over 60 years old. No matter how strong he is, he cannot stop Tang Huan's continuous aura. Now he can't resist the young man's eloquence, so he has to continue to use his skills in moving the world. "I think that the acquisition price of Lianmei should not set an upper limit in violation of commercial rules, otherwise, it would be better to keep the shares in your hands."

"You are too optimistic. Pan American was unrealistic and tough before, forcing the senior executives of the United States to leave collectively, which has long made their reputation smell bad on Hollywood streets." Tang Huan unceremoniously revealed the other party's shortcomings, "You didn't realize that after the loss of money in "Gate of Heaven" this time, everyone's gloating attitude is not ordinary. I dare to predict boldly that if Pan American continues to hold on to the United States, it will only lose more and more. At that time, even ea will have to give up and stay away."

John Beckett's face turned dark and his eyes were filled with anger. He said clearly: "Since ea thinks he can act as a savior and save the United States, then exchange the insurance order and the investment rights of ea before ipo."

"A very simple acquisition activity was designed so complicated by you." Tang Huan shook his head helplessly, "How many second-generation square computer systems will Pan American purchase?"

"The second generation of Fangyuan Computer intends to open up the entry into the financial field through Pan American. It's too beautiful to think. Pan American doesn't want to take the risk to be an experimental mouse." John Beckett sneered, and the mockery of "I've seen through you for a long time" flashed in his eyes.

Tang Huan slapped the table impatiently, "Since everyone's trump cards are revealed, hurry up and do the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. If both parties have advantages, continue to talk, otherwise, they will be separated by one beat or two. Wasting spit like now is simply disrespectful to time."

...

A few days later, the Asian Weekly, an English newspaper of San Francisco Fang's newspaper, took the lead in revealing a major news.

Young Chinese business leader Tang Huan invested $300 million to buy Lianmei, one of the eight major Hollywood companies from insurance giant Pan American.

In addition, a new entertainment group, Yanyueentertainment G, is officially established, with its headquarters in San Francisco. Tang Huan personally served as the chairman of the board of directors, and Mihail Kogan served as the director.

Yanle Entertainment Group owns three companies: electronicarts, CEO is Hawkins; unitedartists is United States, and CEO is Andy Albert; Oaklandraiders is Oakland Raiders, and the manager is Mihayel Kogan.

At the same time, the San Francisco Chronicle, which has a wider distribution scope, further detailed reports on the San Francisco-based Yanle Entertainment Group.

The Los Angeles Times followed and introduced and commented on the matter, including sourness and jokes.

"I have to say that our cute little California tech monster always makes people surprise. After buying a sports toy, I bought an entertainment toy in Hollywood. However, this entertainment toy seems to have some quality problems, and I don't know if the little monster can fix it."

"But no matter what, Hollywood should welcome this new friend, our cute little California tech monster."
