From the dumbfounded expressions on Tang Huan and Ted Turner's faces, you can see how this sudden accident had a huge impact on them. It was like a nail was stuck in the soles of their feet when they were doing things.

"Damn it." Ted Turner was so angry that he threw away the telescope.

Tang Huan, who was the first to calm down, in a deep voice, ordered his followers, "Go and visit our team members, and then find out whose ship is it, which is destroying our good things."

It was not until the dinner after the game that the unexpected detailed process was fully understood that the ship that was stumbled into Rupert Murdoch, and the other party was proud without any concealment.

"So it's this old guy." Ted Turner was furious. "Murdoch and I are getting more and more disagreeable lately. I didn't expect him to disgust us here."

Tang Huan thought about it and found that Australia could be called Murdoch's home court.

The media tycoon was born on a farm 30 miles south of Melbourne. After his son inherited his father's business, he won the first battle in Sydney and founded Australia's first national newspaper, The Australian, which laid a solid foundation for his media empire.

If you fight in Australia, it will be difficult to get a bargain.

So, Tang Huan reminded him, "When you return to the United States, you will find a way to get the venue back."

Unexpectedly, Murdoch took the power of victory at the door of his hometown, and his style was quite high-profile. He came over and greeted him in the manner of his master.

"Dang, you should actually sell Warner's shares to News Corp. I have prepared an attractive offer." Murdoch's face showed regret.

"I have reached a business-related transaction with Warner, so I can only apologize." Tang Huan replied lightly.

"Business-related?" Murdoch asked meaningfully, "You seem to be obsessed with cable networks. Is it for this reason?"

"Of course." Tang Huan nodded slightly. "You may not have read a paper I wrote, in which I have analyzed that future cable TV and telecommunications networks can be connected to computer networks through technical means."

"I wonder how long it will take to wait for this future?" Murdoch smiled sarcastically, "Your prediction will have a greater effect on the increase in the stock price of the company under his name."

"Murdoch, can you stop talking so much nonsense?" Ted Turner inserted impatiently, "Your ship, sank my ship, you must give me an explanation."

"What's there to say? Isn't it just an accident?" Murdoch's eyelids drooped, "Who made it block the way!"

"Okay, you finally said your heart." Ted Turner sneered, "Don't you like fighting very much? Let's go to the boxing ring in Las Vegas. How about a fight? Live broadcast across the United States!"

"Are you bullying me old?" Murdoch glanced at Ted Turner disdainfully and laughed: "You might as well let Don appear, he has an age advantage."

Tang Huan picked up an apple from the fruit plate and squeezed it hard, and the whole apple immediately turned into a puree.

"You are sure, if I invite you to the ring, you will agree?" Tang Huan asked with a smile, "I'm not just as young as I am."

Murdoch's old face instantly turned into a pig's liver. After answering "boring" in disappointment, he turned around and left.

Looking at the back of this old rival running away from the desert, Ted Turner laughed happily, and his previous depression was wiped out.

Tang Huan shook his hands while frowned, thinking.

This post-match banquet was an open public place. Of course, the verbal conflict just now could not avoid the eyes and ears of the reporters. Moreover, this was a very explosive gossip, so it was seen in the newspaper the next day, and the spread range spread from Australia to the United States within 24 hours.

...

"You must invite Barry Diller to Cable News." When sending Ted Turner on the plane, Tang Huan gave a special reminder.

Ted Turner nodded and understood, then turned to ask, "When will you go back to the United States?"

"It doesn't matter whether I'm in the United States or not. I don't understand the media industry like cable TV." Tang Huan smiled playfully, "However, I can still control my subordinates remotely and cause some trouble for Murdoch in the capital market."

"Then don't show mercy." Ted Turner said angrily before he waved goodbye to Tang Huan.

...

Tang Huan originally planned to take the time to go to Siam again, but because Funan entered the dry season between November and April, a large-scale military operation began immediately, and he really couldn't let go of his uncle.

As a result, Christina happily called, "Our little princess is about to be born, don't you come and see you?"

Tang Huan slapped his thigh and almost forgot about this big thing.

Because of the experience of giving birth to the first child, the female ship king's psychological state was significantly more stable when she got pregnant. Tang Huan didn't worry much about prenatal depression, so she ignored it.

This was Tang Huan's first daughter. He couldn't help but feel a little happy and rushed from Australia to Paris. When he saw Christina, the other party had been admitted to the hospital.

"I have already given the name for the baby. The girl is Athena Don Onassis and the boy is Plato Don Onassis. What do you think?" asked the female ship king with a show of flaunting.

"Yes, the Onassis family has included all the three ancient Greek heroes." Tang Huan had nothing to say about the interest in naming Christina.

The female ship king, who received approval, touched the heads of the two sons who were guarding the side with a smile, "When you have younger brothers and sisters, it will be even more lively. You don't have to be like your mother, your parents and brother are gone, and you are very lonely."

Speaking of this, Christina turned her eyes to Tang Huan and thanked her tenderly, "Dear, since I met you, everything I wished for is fulfilled, and you are my greatest support."

"Term is imminent, so don't sigh, so as not to alarm the baby in your stomach." Tang Huan gently held the hand of the female ship king and comforted her with a smile.

"Okay, with you by my side, I won't think about anything else." Christina nodded with satisfaction. "By the way, I should build a ship for the baby that is about to be born."

The previous Gemini went to the Battlefield of the Cambridge Island for a walk, and then completed a global voyage. It is currently providing cruise services in Miami, USA, and its business can only be said to be neither broken nor good.

Seeing that the female ship king had the idea of ​​building a ship again, Tang Huan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The two brothers have their own boats. If there is no baby in their belly, they will be unhappy. Dear, don't you?" Christina shook Tang Huan's hand and began to act coquettishly.

Before Tang Huan could answer, the female ship king laughed, "Look, the baby is moving around in his stomach to protest, oh..."

"I'm still protesting. It's obviously about to give birth." Tang Huan hurriedly called the doctor.

After Christina was pushed into the delivery room, Aristotle, Don Onassis and Socrates, Don Onassis, two little guys, pulled Tang Huan together and begged: "Dad, can you tell your mother that you should not let us go to kindergarten?"

"Why don't you want to go to kindergarten?" Tang Huan asked with a chuckle, "I feel that this is good. I can learn how to get along with other children."

The two children answered in unison with bitter faces. "Because they are too naive and have no common language. They torture people to death."

Tang Huan suddenly looked at the precocious twins, thinking that this was true.

Although there is no definite evidence, after giving birth to so many twins, Tang Huan can basically draw a conclusion that the wisdom of many elites in his mind is very likely to be passed on to the next generation in some form. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that the eight sons who already had are all so clever. Correspondingly, the conflicts in his mind are also decreasing.

It is not good for anyone to force these children with extraordinary intelligence into their peers.

Thinking of this, Tang Huan nodded, "I can help you, but I also need to find another educational solution for you."

The brothers breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, "Just don't go to kindergarten. I've been so sad these few months. Several little kids who are still running noses are too numb."

Looking at their little adult appearance, Tang Huan shook his head with a chuckle, "Come on, have a good chat with me, what are you thinking about in your little heads?"

...

Athena Don Onassis and Plato Don Onassis were born safely. The former was more impatient and took the lead. He became an older sister, and the latter became a younger brother.

"It's not easy, I have a daughter too." Tang Huan happily put Athena's little hand on his palm.

"Look at how beautiful Athena's eyes are." Christina's attention was also all focused on her daughter.

As a result, Plato, who was neglected on the other side, began to cry loudly.

Aristotle and Socrates, who were watching the fun, looked at each other and said in unison: "Fortunately, we were all the same at the beginning."

"Mom is wrong..." Christina quickly comforted her young son who had been jealous just a few days after she was born.

...

The rare thing is precious, and this daughter, who is one out of ten miles, really makes Tang Huan stay in Paris so happy.

However, for a superior like him, there is not always a leisurely time. Soon something is placed on the desk and waiting to be handled.

The first thing was that Kang Maoda, who was a big hit in the cheap computer market and even squeezed out Texas Instruments, just entered January 1984, a major senior personnel earthquake occurred. Due to the intensified conflict with the board of directors, his chairman announced his resignation.

Tang Huan's direct reaction to this was that he could bring a experienced and compatible manufacturer to Fangyuan's personal computer, so as not to become arrogant and difficult to control the situation in Japan.

In addition, maybe we can fulfill our promise and help Warner find a next home for Atari.

The second thing surprised Tang Huan and was also amused and hilarious - in the video tape format battle between vhs and betamax, RCA actually chose to stand on Sony's side.

You know, the scripts in time and space were not like this.

Tang Huan, who was puzzled, quickly asked the Japanese side to send more information, and then he understood what was going on.

It turned out that after seeing Cable News Network and Hollywood film companies represented by Lianmei and MGM, who proved the commercial value of videotapes with practical applications, RCA was moved and planned to make a profit by himself.

There is no doubt that the ready-made technical solutions can be harvested directly from Japan.

Although Japanese automobiles, home appliances, semiconductors and other products are well-versed in the US market, some areas still need to rely on agent mechanisms to enter the US market, just like Nintendo once tried to let Atari agents the US market.

If there is no video tape, the video recorder will lose its meaning, and the value of the video tape lies in the program content recorded above.

Hollywood companies such as United States, MGM, Paramount, and television media such as the United States TV News Network are able to make money in the home consumption market by distributing videotapes because they have the copyright of these programs.

Moreover, in order not to affect movies and TV, the programs on videotapes are usually not time-sensitive.

If video recorders and video tape manufacturers directly promote their products to the US market, they will face legal risks. At this stage, the US judicial community has not yet made a clear conclusion on the relationship between video tape and copyright.

It can be said that there is an invisible market entry threshold. In comparison, American program content providers occupy a more favorable position and have greater voice.

So, RCA, who feels good about himself, searches for targets in Japan with the mentality of picking up cheapness, and falls in love with the JVC's VHS format at first glance, because its video tapes are directly 4-hour-long specifications, and the price of the video recorder can be reduced to less than $1,000.

These features are simply tailor-made for RCA's NBC. Due to the time difference between the east and west of the United States, video tapes of this length are needed as buffer.

In addition, in terms of broadcast-level video tape products, JVC also stood on the same starting line as Sony, a veteran industrial standard powerhouse in this field.

But during the bargaining process, rca felt that jvc was not as humble as imagined.

After further investigation, RCA finally discovered that the new patents in the vhs format, including 4-hour length, broadcast-level s-vhs, etc., are mostly Epson. As a reward for the original cooperation, JVC can be used for free, but has no right to spread it at will.

RCA, which did not get enough benefits in jvc, used a negotiation technique and turned to find Jvc's competitor Sony.

This was originally just to increase the bargaining weight, but unexpectedly, Sony, which had some technical support, should be tough, actually showed a humble attitude than JVC, and as a result, he suddenly pulled RCA, who wanted to fight Qiufeng, into the betamax camp.
