"When is this network technology expected to be launched?" After leaving the Zheru R&D Center, Ted Turner returned the identity identification card to Tang Huan and asked casually.

"You have also seen that there is no problem with the laboratory model. I believe that in another year or two, we should have a commercial foundation." Tang Huan's tone was full of confidence. "Now the communications industry executives are either inspiring users to rent more lines for data transmission, or obsessed with the latest isDN - the integrated business digital network. Therefore, we are undoubtedly in the leading position in this field."

"Frankly speaking, the technology here tests my imagination." Ted Turner smiled happily, then frowned slightly. "John Kruger, the boss of Metropolitan Media, was cunning. Seeing that Murdoch and I were determined to win, he became more and more ready to sell. It was really disgusting."

"You have to know that as the media said, as long as this deal is completed, John Kruger may be among the top three Forbes' 400 richest people in the United States. Of course, he has to find a way to maximize his interests." Tang Huan just smiled faintly, "We should be glad that John Kruger is very sincere in selling cable TV networks under Metropolitan Media. After all, some things are really priceless."

"Then we must also fight for the initiative at the negotiating table, so that John Kruger would not think that we would be able to take over." Ted Turner pondered and thought about countermeasures.

"We have to start from Murdoch. As long as we lose the ability to compete, John Kruger's waiting price will lose one support point." Tang Huan said leisurely, as if he was already in mind.

"Tell me your solution." Ted Turner, who had a lit up in front of his eyes, urged him repeatedly.

"The two sides competing for the Metropolitan Media. You and I stand together. And Murdoch also has an ally." Tang Huan reminded.

"You mean Malvin Davis?" Ted Turner asked without hesitation.

"That's this person." Tang Huan's eyes showed an inexplicable smile. "In this way, you continue to deal with John Kruger and Murdoch. I'll meet Malvin Davis. After all, I've been to his Pebble Beach Golf Course a lot, and it's still a bit of a ready-made dialogue basis."

"Okay, I'll wait for your firewood to be removed from the bottom of your pot." Ted Turner, who was excited, nodded and agreed.

...

After Tang Huan returned to San Francisco, the first person he met was Ted Turner. After all, he had to spend billions of dollars to spend. Anyone would feel a little restless, and the other party could not help but feel nervous.

After comforting Ted Turner and sending him away, Tang Huan was invited to attend a special joint banquet by several Chinese food industry associations in California.

Previously, my aunt Tang Yun had several restaurants under her name, but during her stay in Singapore, the old lady spent all her energy on taking care of Lin Fengjiao and her grandson, and she was unintentionally managing it, so she basically transferred it out. However, Tang Huan still maintained close contact with people in this industry. Several local cases that have been passed recently that are conducive to the development of the Chinese food industry are the best testimony.

On the other hand, it also shows that in the California-wide election, the enthusiasm of Chinese people to participate in the election has begun to increase, and a rope has formed, which is no longer an optional existence.

The fact that Tang Huan was involved in the election of California state senators and state representatives supported the position of the team, which led to attacks by political enemies became clear. Beneficiaries of bills such as the Chinese food industry naturally had to express their feelings and give them some condolences.

There are many brave and fierce people among them who patted their chests and petitioned, "Mr. Tang, these guys dare to plot against you. I'll find someone to kill them now."

"No need." Tang Huan picked up the wine glass and signaled, "You are here to take care of your intentions, but I understand the rules of the politicians' game, so there is naturally a way to deal with it. You should concentrate on making money with peace of mind."

"Mr. Tang, if you have any questions, please give us instructions. We will go up the mountain and go down the oil pan. If you really want to run for the Congress, we will not only vote for our support, but also mobilize the people around us to do the same."

"Okay, this is just an inexplicable rumor. I'm not a politician yet." Tang Huan waved his hand with a laugh and cry.

...

The above two activities were carried out in private occasions. However, Tang Huan could no longer avoid the reporters' tracking in the next trip.

During his busy schedule, Tang Huan specially attended the commemoration event held by ea for Betty Little. The little girl he met at the Treasure Hospital last year was eventually taken away by leukemia.

The higher he stood, the more Tang Huan could realize some of the true meanings that seemed to be accustomed to and taken for granted.

He said sincerely: "Betty's tenacious will to fight against the disease and the helping spirit of donating corneas are worth learning from. Betty's little loves the Monopoly game during his lifetime. Ea specially added an NPC called Betty to the world of Monopoly to commemorate this little hero in the ordinary world. I hope everyone can always remember Betty, an ordinary but extraordinary friend."

This activity is quite solemn. Whether it is real people or players in the ea community, they all participated in it with a pious attitude.

But after Tang Huan came out of the event, secular troubles continued to hit him. The reporters who had been waiting outside tried to rush forward and raise all kinds of long-planned problems.

Tang Huan didn't have time to deal with these ordinary reporters, and public relations consultant Regis McKenna reminded him more than once that he would leave his valuable interview opportunities exclusively to heavyweight authoritative media such as Time magazine.

...

In addition to the public relations team giving opinions, the legal team is also actively providing suggestions, including consultant Hillary Clinton.

Since Tang Huan met Hillary, the director of Walmart, the Clintons have visited San Francisco a lot and have also received a considerable sales revenue from Tang Wenmao, who is responsible for acquiring cellular telephone licenses.

In addition, in order to support the two political stars in the Governor of Arkansas, Tang Huan also asked the company under his name to carry out computer business there.

"In fact, Americans nowadays basically believe that there is a deviation in your age at entry. After all, this public opinion topic has been bombed at least three times. Even if it is fake, it will become real." Hillary Clinton analyzed the current situation to Tang Huan very directly.

"In order to get an entry permit as soon as possible, I did hide my age, rather than political asylum." Tang Huan nodded.

In private, he had officially told the people he trusted, and now there is another one more.

"I've seen the photos of you in 1976 published in the newspaper. I have to say that you looked very thin and confusing at that time." Hillary smiled and shrugged, "But that's all. Everyone has to face reality. I believe that no one will insist on driving away the richest man in the United States because of this little episode. On the contrary, this small flaw will make you look more real. After all, your amazing talent makes you so perfect and mysterious."

Speaking of this, Hillary added seriously, "Of course, your plan to run for Congress will be difficult to achieve because of this small flaw."

"You believe this rumor, too." Tang Huan shook his head with a chuckle, "But how to say it. This public opinion storm has indeed affected me. As the most unscrupulous media model - The New York Post, I really want to kill it like a bed bug, so that I can exhale it."

"I advise you to save your energy." Hillary quickly waved her hand, "Compared with the San Francisco Observer, the media status of the New York Post is incomparable. You should know that it has its own seat in the White House Press Room."

"I can find a way to get the New York Post to lose this position," Tang Huan said lightly.

"I believe you have this energy, but then?" Hillary's face became serious. "It is completely foreseeable that all media will attack you at that time, because in their opinion, you are hindering the most important freedom of speech."

"Since even you, an expert, think so, then I will give up this idea." Tang Huan sighed softly.

"Dang, I hope you can really listen to my advice." Hillary smiled, "After all, I don't want to lose your generous client."

"Don't worry, I have always been calm and do whatever I want." Tang Huan got up and paced back and forth a few steps, "I'll ignore these noises for the time being. I'm going to relax at the Pebble Beach Golf Course. Are you and Bill?"

"We are both in business, so we will not be with you." Hillary shook her head.

...

Tang Huan's relaxing at Pebble Beach Golf Course is just a cover. It's true that he is currently interested in jointly acquiring the cable network of Metropolitan Media with Murdoch.

"It's still the richest man in the United States, and Barry Diller's departure from Paramount is almost a foregone conclusion. I intend to recruit him to take charge of 20th Century Fox, but he is more willing to have the Turner Broadcasting Company you support." As soon as we met, Malvin Davis smiled and complained, which was very different from Murdoch's unconcealed hostility.

"The 20th Century Fox is full of talents. Since it was under your position in 1981, from "Socket Speed" to "Star Wars Return of the Jedi" last year, and even "Tongtian Boy" that was just released this year, at least one hit movie that sells in North America will be released every year. Barry Diller must be the CEO?" Tang Huan shook his head with a laugh.

"But I can't compare with you." Malvin Davis did not hide his envy. "We all entered Hollywood in 1981, and I controlled the 20th Century Fox with twice the price you bought in United States, but now see who makes more money?"

"The Pebble Beach Golf Course and the ski company under the name of 20th Century Fox are still very interesting." Tang Huan looked out the beautiful view outside the window and said lightly: "If your interest in 20th Century Fox has faded, you might as well consider selling it to me."

These unexpected remarks suddenly made the reception room silence. After a while, Malvin Davis swallowed and asked unexpectedly: "Tang, aren't you kidding me?"

"If you don't want to sell 20th Century Fox, that's a joke; on the contrary, it's a deal." Tang Huan glanced at the other party with a smile.

"Dang, you bought a lot of Warner stocks last year, which seriously threatened Steve Rose's control, but in the end it was not forced to sell these stocks under the pressure of antitrust?" Malvin Davis stared at Tang Huan's eyes suspiciously, trying to find out his true intentions.

"At this stage, can the 20th Century Fox be comparable to Warner's status in Hollywood?" Tang Huan asked lightly, then raised his hand and pointed out the window, "And, my interest is mainly on this historic golf course."

"Then how do you plan to quote?" Malvin Davis looked at Tang Huan with warm eyes.

Because he knew that the young man in front of him was just not short of money. John Kruger of Metropolitan Media was about to get more than 3 billion US dollars from the other party and then squeezed into the top of the American rich list. It would be too fake to say that he didn't envy him.

"It depends on how many shares you are willing to sell." Tang Huan blinked playfully in front of the other party's gaze.

"I think it depends on your offer in the final analysis." Malvin Davis sly kicked the ball over again.

"As far as I know, in 1981, you and Mark Ritchie joined forces to buy 20th Century Fox. However, Mark Ritchie is currently running away, and I believe his shares have fallen into your hands at a low price." Tang Huan said calmly, while paying attention to the other party's expression to confirm his guess.

Mark Ritchie is a versatile international trader. He is a super slander in the popular words of reform and opening up China. He has a very close relationship with Middle Eastern countries, such as Iran, and is not even affected by regime change.

As early as the 1970s during the world energy crisis, Mark Ricci bought oil from Iran and shipped it to the United States for a high price, making a fortune.

After the Iranian hostage crisis broke out in 1979, the United States began to impose sanctions on Iran, and Mark Rich, who was bold and versatile, was still able to get oil from Iran and continue to trade.

Now the US government was angry and decided to deal with Mark Ricky, who was ignorant of the current affairs. So last year, he launched a series of lawsuits such as tax evasion. The man fled to Switzerland, and the industry in the United States was also abandoned.

Seeing that Malvin Davis did not refute, Tang Huan said slowly: "I will pay $250 million for this part of Mark Ritchie. But there is a condition that you withdraw from the plan to jointly acquire Metropolitan Media with Murdoch."

Malvin Davis immediately narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that Tang Huan, a famous nouveau riche, really knows how to make a wishful thinking.
