Needless to say, with the bond of a child, the relationship between Tang Huan and Christina has changed from a two-dimensional entanglement of love between father and daughter and business partners to a three-dimensional cross-linkage mixed with family affection, which has become more and more complicated.

"Honey, I want to build two cruise ships for the children, called the Gemini." Christina, who had a big brain, talked about her idea with great interest.

"You're a prodigal." Looking at Christina, who was overflowing with maternal love, Tang Huan felt a little headache, and simply used business as an excuse to hide away.

...

Judging from the report of the Olympus Group, although it claims that its business scope covers the whole of Europe, it actually mainly relies on Western Europe to make profits, and the competition in the market is mainly due to infighting among American companies.

After patiently listening to the reports from his subordinates, after the eastern camp, especially the Soviet Union, East Germany and other developed regions, began to appear counterfeit products, Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, and said meaningfully: "Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. , let them toss, let go of the software shipments, and don't be tied to the hardware. In addition, even if the software is not authorized, it is enough to express dissatisfaction verbally. The important thing is to maintain trade c ←, w≯ww. Easy relationship."

In his view, there is nothing wrong with people insisting on doing something on their own. The ass decides the head, and the profit dictates it.

But the key lies in your own product system. There are many ways of hardware and software. Even if the cottage comes out with a viable hardware platform. It is useless to not have mature software applications. After the latter problem is finally solved, the entire product line will also be updated.

Tang Huan is very open-minded, and his attitude is naturally very free and easy. He simply increased the flexible way of software shipments to solve the problem of insufficient applications for the other party. In case your hardware platform cannot perfectly support my software, you can also buy my software again. hardware.

this era. People pay far more attention to hardware than software, but the operation interface that front-line users come into contact with is precisely provided by the software. The mysterious existence of "habit" is not so easy to change.

In the original time and space, Microsoft's operating system wanted to take all PCs and tablets, but just a change to the "Start" menu made it advance and retreat.

In other words, an industrial overlord like Microsoft can gain a monopoly position in the market. Force users to update products, but they cannot easily force users to change their usage habits.

Don't you want to build your own platform?

I cooperate with you, but once it involves a large project, you must use my full set of genuine system, unless you don't need technical support and after-sales service.

And in the end, even the retail market can't get rid of the situation of dependence. Microsoft's sales strategy of condoning piracy in the early stage is not just to achieve this goal.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than exchanging the immediate profit loss for the harvest in the near future.

Tang Huan has enough confidence to crush all kinds of competitors in the market, whether it comes from the official initiative or the spontaneous appeal of the people, with the breeze blowing on the face and killing people without blood.

The operation style of the Olympus Group is a bit cumbersome, but very formal. However, this is not a big problem in the European market, so Tang Huan, who has dealt with various affairs, did not express his opinion on this point.

This is Christina's territory, stable and conservative subordinates, just what this prodigal bitch needs.

...

After Hu Yinmeng knew that Tang Huan had arrived in Paris, he told him by phone that Tan Jiaming's movie "Love Killing" had finished the post-production and would be released in Hong Kong soon.

Of course Tan Jiaming will not forget Tang Huan's promise, he intends to send "Love Killing" to France to test the waters through the channel of DreamWorks.

"I did take the initiative to bring up this matter. You entrust it to Lianmei through Huamei Entertainment, and then let Lianmei contact Gao Meng in France, and follow the procedures." Tang Huan has already arranged Huamei Entertainment as an intermediary company. The only thing to do is to deal with this situation.

"There are so many links in the middle, what a waste of time, you are not in Paris, it would be great to handle it yourself." Hu Yinmeng was a little disapproving.

"Do you think I'm so free? Besides, you don't see what I am now, to run errands for a movie that is not invested by DreamWorks?" Tang Huan didn't think it was funny.

"Earn a word of mouth, this time it works well, I also have face in Xiangjiang, the status of DreamWorks has also increased accordingly." After Hu Yinmeng realized the righteousness, he began to be emotional, "Would you like to come forward in person? If not, I will call Lin Qingxia later and tell her your attitude, don't think that I don't know how far you have developed your relationship in the United States."

"Oh, you dare to threaten the boss." After Tang Huan cursed with a smile, he agreed.

"That's right. You don't know, the Xu Brothers' "Modern Bodyguard" has been a hit at the box office until now, and it is said that it is about to set an annual box office record again. It would be hypocritical to say that you are not envious." Obviously, Hu Yinmeng, a female literary youth, has been transformed by Tang Huan to be keen on the commercial competition of movies.

...

After Tang Huan met Nicholas Sedoux, the owner of Gaumont Company, the other party directly complained: "Tang, I really shouldn't have agreed to let Sophie Marceau to you. Look, she is already popular in Europe. It became a cash cow."

"It doesn't matter who owns it. We can still cooperate closely." Tang Huan, who intercepted Hu Gaomeng, smiled lightly, so as not to aggravate the other party's sense of regret.

"That's true. At present, it seems that the filming preparations for the film sequel are going well." Nicholas Seydoux could only comfort himself in this way.

Taking a chance, Tang Huan talked to Nicholas Sedoux about the movie "Love Killing" and emphasized, "This is the director from Xiangjiang. It’s an exploratory film. Don’t worry. It’s just a simple reference to shooting techniques. It doesn’t involve sensitive topics such as politics.”

To know. From 1968 to the 1970s, Jean-Luc Godard, a well-known director, tried to inject social movement ideas into his films, visited different places many times, and shot highly political and experimental films , but most were rejected for screening.

However, starting from 1980, Jean? Luc Godard began to shoot more orthodox films such as "" "Slow Motion" and so on, in comparison. Controversy is less.

Nicholas Sedoux quickly understood what Tang Huan meant. This was a film that the Xiangjiang film industry learned from the French film industry, and it was also the biggest gimmick.

However, the two bosses really didn't care about this matter, and directly explained it to their subordinates, so when Tan Jiaming and the assistants from DreamWorks rushed to Paris with a copy of the movie, Tang Huan just had a casual meeting. , and asked him to go to Gaumont Company.

...

In the next period of time, Tang Huan will have more important matters to deal with in the United States. So I don't want to waste too much time.

Seeing how Christina was entertaining her two sons, he said goodbye.

"Honey, please help me dispose of the British treasure by the way. I really planned to take the batch of Roman gold coins to the Paris exhibition. The Louvre Museum is very interested. But there are all kinds of entanglements in the UK. Even the royal family relationship has been used, I really don’t bother to care about it. When you pass by London, deal with that Prince Charles, Buckingham Palace has just announced his engagement, and he is probably in high spirits.” Christian took a stack of ship diagrams Flipping through it, he said lazily.

"Are they planning to play the emotional card? But it's not easy to extract oil from the British." Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, "If you have had enough fun, then just use these treasures to set up a foundation in the UK Well, it is said that Prince Charles is keen on various foundations, and getting him involved can be regarded as capital.”

"Is it like Shennong Fund?" Christina's eyes lit up. She still understood the invisible influence of Shennong Fund in the United States.

"How do you feel?" Tang Huan nodded and asked back.

"It's up to you, but this time I will be the chairman of the foundation." Christina made the only request.

...

The place where Tang Huan and Charles met was St. James's Palace. Although the British monarch has not lived here for nearly two centuries, it is still the official palace of the British monarch and ranks first among the British royal palaces.

It can be seen that the standard arranged by the other party is quite high, but Tang Huan accepts it calmly. After all, he is now carrying the title of a net worth of two billion US dollars, although he does not know when it will shrink greatly.

This is a private meeting, in addition to the 33-year-old Charles, accompanied by Constantine II, the last king of Greece.

This is also a person with a story. In 1960, Constantine, who was then a prince, competed in the Summer Olympics held in Rome and won the gold medal in sailing. He was only 20 years old at the time.

In 1964, his father Paul I died of cancer, and Constantine succeeded to the throne as Constantine II.

In 1967, the military launched a coup and the royal family fled to Rome, making the monarchy exist in name only. By 1973, the royal family was simply declared abolished.

After the collapse of the military government in 1974, the New Democratic Party won a big victory in the parliamentary elections and announced a referendum to decide whether Greece should continue to adopt a constitutional monarchy or rebuild a republic.

The result of the referendum was that the overwhelming majority of the people agreed to be converted into a republic.

In this regard, Constantine II respected this result and recognized the establishment of the Republic, but he could not return to Greece and had to continue in exile.

Fortunately, there is always an in-law relationship among European royal families. Constantine married his cousin Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark in Athens in 1964 when he inherited the throne. His sister Sophia married the current Spanish King Juan Marie in 1962. Carlos I.

Moreover, Constantine himself has a blood relationship with Queen Victoria of England and Kaiser Wilhelm I and other major European royal families. For example, this Charles is his cousin.

So, Constantine with no ambitions. Although dependent on others. But living the life of a rich man is not a problem.

In Tang Huan's opinion. Apart from the royal status, Charles and Constantine have no real capital, far worse than the Kuwaiti royal family, so his enthusiasm is not very high, and of course it will not be directly expressed on the face.

Because he was still thinking about the things in the United States, after visiting St. James's Palace, Tang Huan said straight to the point: "I can make a decision on Christina's behalf, and these treasures will stay in the UK. On the basis of , set up a foundation to support public welfare, and entrust relevant departments to help manage the cultural relics, if your Highness is interested, welcome to join."

Upon hearing this, Charles couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect the matter to be resolved so easily. It's a man who does things with ease.

You know, for this matter, Christina, the rich and willful ship queen. It made England restless, and vented all the anger that the media had blackmailed her before. I felt refreshed, but left a mess of chicken feathers, and no one cleaned it up.

But now, things are in a way that everyone can accept. Got a perfect solution.

And Charles, who came forward to mediate the matter, naturally played an extremely important role. For Charles, who has not yet looked so bad in the eyes of the British, it is undoubtedly an opportunity to improve his reputation.

"I've always been enthusiastic about public welfare activities. Thank you Don for giving me this opportunity." Charles accepted the invitation without restraint.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about it.

In the original time and space, this Prince Charles was a wonderful person.

For example, he is actively expanding the number of fund recipients under his name, and he is very good at making money. Even though he is ridiculed, he is still enthusiastic about the cultivation and promotion of organic crops in the dukedom. The organic food company he founded, Finally turned around in 2003 and brought himself an income of at least £1 million.

In addition, the income obtained through the real estate business and the sale of gifts received were also put into Charles' pocket.

However, he was also embroiled in a tax evasion scandal.

Tang Huan was not surprised by all these things. Although European royal families have no worries about food and clothing, in order to maintain a decent appearance, the expenses are not low, and life is not easy. If you don't have a brain, then you can only sit and eat.

"Your Highness, Zheru has been funding a personal computer training project, and plans to expand it to the UK, why don't we try to cooperate." Tang Huan has already regarded Charles as a businessman, and the main content of his conversation illustrates this a little.

"Let's talk about it in detail." Sure enough, Charles became interested.

In fact, what Tang Huan was talking about was Zheru’s product certification, which is currently divided into three categories:

Philosophical office application certification for spreadsheet software and word processing software;

Philosophical and Confucian database certification of database ebase and various derived information management systems;

Zheru development certification of assembly language programming tool ma and c language programming tool.

All certification exams are free, but you need to make an appointment and line up, and it is quite difficult, because both theoretical and practical assessments must be completed at the same time, and both are indispensable.

Of course, candidates have to spend their own money to buy the textbooks involved in the exam.

This activity has been carried out in the United States for more than a year, and it has developed very rapidly. It has expanded to all major cities in North America, and has given birth to a new training industry. More and more.

Zheru's active promotion of this activity is naturally to expand his own influence and tie more people to his software platform.

Therefore, as predicted by the marketing department, we must be prepared to continue to pour money into it. However, with the brisk sales of relevant teaching materials, the deficit is not so severe.

For this other form of marketing, Charles obviously did not realize its power. He was completely attracted by the upright name of popularizing personal computer knowledge, enhancing work ability, increasing employment rate, etc., and immediately agreed to participate.

Tang Huan looked at Charles with a smile, and said that your advertising is still very effective. Once Zheru's product certification system has gained a firm foothold in the UK, its local personal computer brands such as Aikon Computer should enter the market. It's in history.

Turning his gaze to Constantine, Tang Huan said sincerely: "I don't know if your status allows you to participate in such activities. If you can, welcome to join in."

"This is a very meaningful event, and I naturally don't want to miss it." Constantine is no longer what he used to be, and he has long put down his figure.

After all, this training plan does not seem to have any obvious profit purpose, and it will not have any negative impact on his image. This opportunity to receive a salary can be said to be rare.

"By the way, Don, you are really the author of "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers", which has been sold well in the UK?" Charles asked curiously.

"It's my humble work. Isn't it my style to analyze the rise and fall of countries since 1500 AD from the perspective of economy and technology?" Tang Huan asked with a raised brow.

"Of course it's your style." Charles laughed, "It's just that after reading the above discussion about Britain, I feel a little bit emotional."

Now that Britain has become a second-rate power, naturally there will be some sourness in my heart. When it develops according to the historical track and wins the Falklands War, and is confronted by China's strong countermeasures on the Xiangjiang issue, the mood will be even more complicated.
