...

In fact, as the government and military projects were undertaken, Tang Huan and other companies began to be investigated by intelligence departments including F. This was the subject of the question and there was no big fuss.

These investigations were conducted secretly, openly, third-party opinions, and even directly came to the door. Tang Huan had received telephone inquiries from F-force investigators, and some of them were even more "interesting", such as whether there was a history of drug use, how many times they had been there.

It was only with the public listing of Fangyuan Computer Company that Tang Huan tried his best to throw away the responsibilities of the company's daily management, and such harassment began to disappear.

After slowly drinking the cup of hot milk, Tang Huan slowly ordered: "In this way, you can stay calm and do whatever you need; let your younger sister come out of Goldman Sachs to help temporarily; in addition, ea has a large business volume in Japan, including real estate projects such as theme parks, with plenty of operating space and further cover through its subsidiary."

Zhuang Menghua, who graduated from Harvard Business School, has experienced well in recent years and is enough to bear the heavy responsibility.

Tang Huan plans to let himself, who has further gotten away from specific work, stand in the open and attract the attention of those who are interested as much as possible, so that the trustees who accept the entrustment can handle the work in secret more freely.

In fact, he has nothing to be afraid of. Merchants are pursuing profits. Anyone who understands this understands the tricks - Nelson Hunter and William Hunter have caused the silver futures market to collapse, and in the end there will be no prison. This is a major feature of the American ecology.

The key point is that as long as you are valuable, someone will welcome you. Mark Ritch insisted on doing oil business with Iran, which violated the US trade embargo and finally had to flee to Switzerland. But that's all. In the original time and space, people were still alive until the 21st century, and were buried in Israel after their death.

Tang Huan, who has mastered information asymmetry, seen through the rules, and has controlled enough resources, is very calm in a high-level position, which is not something Tang Wenmao and other close subordinates can understand.

After Tang Wenmao left, Tang Huan could not go back to sleep in, so he started working for the whole day.

During lunch, her little cousin Meng Jing came over. She just went to college this year, and Tang Huan was worried about this wild girl, so she arranged to Stanford University nearby to take care of her.

"After going to college, I can finally breathe the air of freedom." Tang Huan joked, because the other party's previous high school management was very strict, which made him complain a lot.

"That's the case." Meng Jing took a sip of the juice and then answered indifferently.

The two were chatting about interesting things on campus, and Spielberg and George Lucas walked over with drinks.

"Two, you guys, you're a rare guest, and they appeared at the same time." Tang Huan said unexpectedly: "You are not here to Cupertino to taste the food in our restaurant."

Tang Huan was really surprised. Both of them were busy. In addition to producing this summer's "Back to the Future", Spielberg is also directing a movie called "Purple"; for George Lucas, the endless quarrels and divorce lawsuit alone is enough to make him worried.

Speaking of which, George Lucas and his first wife Marcia Lucas are like-minded, a film editor. In 1974, he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Editing for the box office, "American Style Painting".

After that, Marcia Lucas also served as editing supervisor for "Taxi Driver" starring Robert De Niro and Judy Foster, who won the 1976 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival; George Lucas won the 1977 Academy Award for Best Editing for "Star Wars".

Unfortunately, things in the world are unpredictable. This pair of life partners and career partners are now about to fly together.

"The restaurant here is really not like the employee cafeteria, and the food level is comparable to that of the professional restaurants outside." George Lucas smiled and complimented.

Tang Huan probably had something to do when the two of them came over. But he didn't rush to ask, just asked them to sit down.

Spielberg first explained, "George's cash flow has been tight recently, so he plans to sell some of Lucasfilm's businesses and would like to ask if Don is interested."

Among the series of companies founded by George Lucas, the most familiar ones may be the industrial daylight and magic that deals with visual special effects. In fact, the skywalkersound that deals with sound special effects is the skywalkersound that deals with sound special effects, the electronic game reveals casarts-Lucas movie games, etc.

After hearing Spielberg say that George Lucas was going to sell some companies to cash out, Tang Huan immediately heard the Qinsheng and guessed that George Lucas was affected by the divorce lawsuit, and the income of "Star Wars" could not continue to be strong, which led to his cash flow being so tight.

It must be pointed out that if these American celebrities do not have an agreement, the cost of divorce is often very high.

Take Robert Noyce, one of the founders of Intel. Because of an extramarital affair, his original wife filed a divorce lawsuit with him in a California court and directly divided half of the property worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

George Lucas's current situation is so embarrassing. He must have a net worth, but cash is a different matter.

Tang Huan estimated that George Lucas was not yet at the point of selling Industrial Light and Magic, so he asked curiously, "What departments or subsidiaries George is planning to sell?"

"Computer department." George Lucas replied: "At present, it has two main components. One team is responsible for developing customized computers to digitize images on real-life film films and incorporate cool special effects; the other team focuses on computer animation production."

"I'll go, isn't this the predecessor of Pixar Animation Studio!" Tang Huan immediately reacted and wondered secretly, "Why hasn't Jobs been online with this money-losing guy?"

Then he suddenly realized that George Lucas was overwhelmed by the divorce lawsuit, and Jobs was not much better, and he was also plagued by the lawsuit - Apple was about to sue him for digging his own pockets.

In other words, Jobs had not had time to spare time to take care of other things.

To be honest, Tang Huan is not very interested in this transaction. It is because his industry has basically taken shape in the current areas involved. It has also gone through a stage of barbaric expansion, and the focus is now on "practice of internal skills".

digitaldomain - the digital kingdom, namely d2, has surpassed industrial Light and Magic.

If you have to find a factor that can impress Tang Huan, it may be talent.

But his company has already made a name for itself, and talents in the IT field often come to the door actively; as for relatively scarce artistic and creative talents, they have also attracted a lot.

For example, John Lasseter, who was fired by Disney, turned around and entered the d2 job with joy after being frustrated.

As a result, Lucasfilm's computer department, both technology and talent, cannot create the attractiveness that Tang Huan must take action.

You know, in time and space, Pixar Animation Studio, which was handed by Jobs, was always a money-lossing guy before "Toy Story" was released. Moreover, the success of "Toy Story" also had some coincidence. At that time, Disney did not intend to release it online in the cinema.

It is estimated that only Jobs, the paranoid, would spend tens of millions of dollars out of his own pocket to stubbornly maintain the survival of Pixar Animation Studio, but that almost couldn't stand it and sold it before the release of "Toy Story".

Seeing that Tang Huan did not express his opinion immediately, George Lucas couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He probably would have been in vain this time.

Lucasfilm's computer department is not uninvited, but willing buyers have been hesitating.

The main reason is that under the leadership of Tang Huan, the entry threshold for the computer industry, which is developing rapidly at this stage, has begun to rise. Non-professionals who want to make quick money may lose their impression if they plunge in. Non-mainstream computers like Lucasfilm's computer department have a very confusing prospect.

In this case, George Lucas received a maximum offer of only $5 million, which was a bit far from his expectations, so that Edwin Cartham, the head of Lucasfilm's computer department, and Elvi Smith, both intend to buy the company according to the market and then attract a capable investor to continue operating.

George Lucas must raise enough cash flow within a limited time. Seeing that there was not much time left for him to raise, he planned to sell it at a loss.

After Spielberg learned about this, he suggested that George Lucas might as well contact Tang Huan, the richest man who has always paid attention to the combination of computer technology and creativity, including art. The sparks that may burst out may be the computer department of Lucas Films, and then get a satisfactory offer.

In this way, George Lucas, who had no choice, was moved and decided to follow the enthusiastic Spielberg to come to Tang Huan to try his luck; but judging from the other party's reaction, it seemed that there was no chance.

Seeing this, Spielberg felt a little embarrassed. He was about to lobby indirectly. Meng Jing, who was sitting next to Tang Huan, muttered in Mandarin: "Do you have to be so stingy? The things tested in the movie "Star Wars" will not be much different. Even if you don't need it, you can't keep them for others. Anyway, you are not short of money."

"You little prodigal girl..." Tang Huan laughed out loud by her little cousin, but the sentence "You can't keep it for others if you don't need it." made him feel moved.

Sometimes, it is necessary to admit that "it's done because of someone". Currently, Edwin Cartham and Elvi Smith, the head of Lucasfilm's computer department, are like this for Pixar Animation Studio in the original time and space. Although the latter was kicked away due to a conflict with Jobs and was deliberately removed from the history of Pixar Animation Studio, the credit cannot be erased.

Just for these two people, it is worth buying Lucasfilm's computer department, and also selling favors from George Lucas and Spielberg.

Now Warner's boss Steve Ross and Universal Pictures' president Sid Hinberg are all trying to win over Spielberg in various ways. You can't give up this connection in vain.

More importantly, controlling the computer department of Lucasfilm under the leadership of Edwin Cartham can cut off the original help of Lipix Animation Studio in the animation field.

After calculations like this, the little cousin's playful words "I don't need to keep them for others" still contain a very substantial game philosophy.

Tang Huan, who changed his mind in a flash, immediately laughed, "I have long been famous for the innovation of Lucasfilm and its subsidiaries in film creativity and computer technology. Since George has decided to sell Lucasfilm's computer department, I will continue and will give you a competitive and satisfactory offer."

Upon hearing this, George Lucas and Spielberg both breathed a sigh of relief. The former no longer had to secretly make a sale price of $5 million; the latter felt that he was worthy of his gratitude.

George Lucas is also a real person. He gave a brief explanation to Tang Huan and reminded him: "Tang, you must be mentally prepared. Compared to developing computers, people in this department are more concerned and more willing to make animated movies."

Tang Huan smiled faintly and said playfully: "My strength in developing computers is already strong enough, but I don't mind having a new force in animation production to make full use of the hardware and software platforms I provide."

...

The reason why Tang Huan believes that Edwin Cartham and Elvi Smith have the ability to "get things done by others" is that both of them can be regarded as well-established computer scientists and computer graphicists.

Originally, in time and space, Pixar Animation Studio is worthy of praise, and its technical research and development results are able to be produced, such as reyes rendering architecture, renderman specifications, alpha channels that support image transparency and translucency, and depth buffering for processing image depth coordinates in three-dimensional graphics, which are closely related to them.

So, after deciding to buy the computer department of Lucasfilm, Tang Huan, who was already very busy, took time to go to his headquarters, and Lucas Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, which is connected to downtown San Francisco through the Golden Gate Bridge.

It is obvious that Lucasfilm's computer department, with a total of about 40 employees, will move out of this remote location after it is acquired.

After meeting the person in charge Edwin Cartham and Elvi Smith, Tang Huan noticed the unnatural and disappointed on their faces. After all, these two planned to get a bargain and be their boss, but George Lucas suddenly found a buyer who could not compete with his strength.

"Why, you don't like me, the new employer?" Tang Huan asked with a smile.
