Chapter 857 Oil War, Media War, Cyber War
...
No matter how the remedy is arranged, "The Silence of the Lambs" will definitely miss the qualification for the 1990 Oscars and can only wait for the next one.
Jodie Foster didn't bother about it, and after figuring out the ins and outs, she let it go.
After a while, seeing Judy Foster picking up his coat and leaving, Tang Huan couldn't help being stunned, "Why don't you stay a little longer since you came all the way?"
"Thank you for the convenience of the California high-speed rail. When I came from Los Angeles, I didn't feel how far it was." Jodie Foster put on her coat with a smile-a smart woman knows how to be with a man Keep yourself fresh.
"Then let's have a meal together." Tang Huan looked at the time, "Stop by and see how Jin Chang, Jin Ge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang are participating in the event. Maybe these performances can help you, a cutting-edge director. , learn more about gifted children."
Judy Foster did not refuse any more, took a car with Tang Huan, and went to a retirement community funded by the Shennong Foundation. From a distance, he saw a group of boys and girls in bright green vests, helping them in style. Distributed supplies.
"Your twins don't look like ten-year-olds at all." Jodie Foster praised sincerely.
"Extraordinary IQ does cause various troubles, including how to integrate into the peer group..." Tang Huan also expressed his feelings.
"But you're still having fun, aren't you?" Jodie Foster teased.
"Of course." Tang Huan laughed, "The traces of my existence in this world depend to a large extent on their maintenance and inheritance; those ideals that are destined to be impossible to achieve in this life will fall on them."
Seeing the man staring at her playfully, Jodie Foster cut out, "Stop making insinuations, I'm not mentally prepared to have children; especially when I think of my children, there will be so many of the same father. My half-siblings, I feel the pressure for them."
These two men and women with the same high IQ were bickering back and forth. A silver Mercedes-Benz with no license plate was parked not far away. When the door opened, Jobs got out of the car, looked around for a while, and finally locked his eyes. On a teenage girl.
Jodie Foster, who noticed this situation, couldn't help asking curiously: "What is he doing?"
Tang Huan shrugged, "Obviously, he is visiting his daughter—Lisa."
Judy Foster's eyes turned to these children again, and she suddenly said, "The parents of these children who participated in the activity together probably have a very simple background."
Tang Huan smiled lightly, "The social circle of adults will inevitably affect children, and it also corresponds to the old saying in the East - the right family."
At this time, Jobs, who was a little impatient, waved to his daughter. Lisa walked over reluctantly, and the two seemed to have an awkward fight without saying a few words.
Jodie Foster's rare fire of gossip ignited, "The relationship between the father and daughter doesn't seem to be harmonious?"
Tang Huan replied uncertainly: "Now Lisa should be living with her biological mother, Christian Brennan, and her relationship with Jobs is naturally relatively weak."
The two watched from the sidelines, while Jobs opened the car door and urged his daughter to get in the car. Instead, Lisa backed away a few steps, making Jobs angry.
Jin Chang, Jin Ge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang, who had been watching for a long time, ran to Lisa's side in good time.
The eldest brother Jin Chang spoke first: "Mr. Jobs, we know you as a famous person, but please don't disturb our work."
"A bunch of brats, moving things here, is it considered work?" Jobs curled his lips disdainfully, "Boy, step aside, don't disturb me talking to my daughter."
"Then you can't force Lisa." Jin Chang waved his hand unequivocally, forming an obvious formation with Jin Ge, Jin Ming, and Jin Liang, protecting Lisa and retreating.
Jobs was clearly dazed by the concerted drama,
It took a while before I realized it, and shook my fist angrily, "You meddlesome brat, tell me, where is your lord?"
Jin Chang made a grimace, and raised his finger, "It's over there, go find it quickly."
Tang Huan, who was watching the show from the car with the window down, smiled and shook his head, opened the door and got out of the car, and said, "Steve, you have to be patient when you get along with children."
"I guessed it, it's your brat." Jobs snorted, "Since we met, let's walk together."
"Alright, I can tell you about the uniqueness of this retirement community." Tang Huan nodded, "The high-tech equipment installed here is second to none. The key is the promotion and implementation of scientific management methods."
Now Jobs still keeps his eyes on the computer. At first, the sales of next computer were not good, so he quickly launched a new model this year, added a 2.88mb disk drive, and changed the original "only direct sales of computers to The sales model of "students and educational institutions" has been converted into a dealer model, and an agreement has been reached with China that a more professional party will be responsible for selling Next products throughout the United States, but there has also been a more obvious improvement.
More importantly, Jobs, who enjoyed it, did one thing, that is, touted the next computer as very fashionable, which can be said to have reached a new level of losing money and making money, and fooled another shareholder, rb's Canon, to inject capital into it $30 million was raised as working capital.
It has to be said that Jobs is still in the growth stage - using the company's fancy losses to achieve his own unique image, and he has no patience to listen to Tang Huan's long-winded things in the industrial ecosystem other than computers.
Moreover, it seemed that Jobs was a little troubled, frowning frequently, and finally interrupted Tang Huan suddenly, and said without thinking: "Tang, I'm getting married."
After Tang Huan was slightly taken aback, he smiled and congratulated, and then joked: "You must have suffered from premarital depression, right?"
As an adopted child, Jobs had complex views on marriage and family in his heart, and Mr. Richest Man was really confused.
"But I still can't decide whether I like Lauren Powell more or Tina Ryders more." Jobs showed distress on his face.
Tang Huan almost laughed out loud. You know, Jobs has lived with Lauren Powell for some time, and he still can't forget his ex-girlfriend, and he doesn't know how his current girlfriend feels.
"Tang, you are a master at crossing flowers, can you give me some references?" Job Bush stared at Tang Huan and asked very seriously.
It's really not easy to comment on such a private topic that is easy to offend. Tang Huan stroked the beard on his chin and thought about it.
Jobs' love life can be described as rich and colorful, and his girlfriend has basically never been out of gear. From the stage before and after he was expelled from Apple, he was accompanied by Tina Ryders.
During this period, Jobs experienced some personal changes-his adoptive mother passed away, and then he got the understanding of his adoptive father, and recognized his biological mother and younger sister, while his biological father was ignored. philosophical question.
Tina Ryders and Jobs, who share similar tastes, naturally get closer spiritually and spiritually than outsiders during this period of time.
But the problem is that neither the man nor the woman is able to control their emotions very well, and it ended up being Lao Yan's split, and the more scheming Lauren Powell quickly filled this position through a chance encounter.
Recalling the impressions of several brief gatherings, Tang Huan slowly opened his mouth under the gaze of Jobs "Hurry up but don't fool me", "Since we are going to get married, we must consider the stability of the family. First of all , Powell is your favorite type-beautiful, slender blonde, and approachable, with a sense of humor, well-educated, smart without ego, independent, strong enough to withstand the outside world with you A magnifying glass to observe the pressures of celebrity, but also willing to make changes for lovers and families, and confident enough to have a sense of security, not to restrict men too much, and at the same time be appropriately worldly enough to know how to deal with the various things you provoke from time to time Trouble, like your daughter Lisa."
Looking at Jobs who opened his mouth wider and wider, Tang Huan finally concluded: "More importantly, on the basis of the previous ones, Powell and you have some common hobbies, such as organic food, which can be used in real secular life. Let's pursue with you the extraordinary, sunny and white snow that you like."
"Damn it." Jobs helped his chin and muttered, "Why are you observing so carefully? You must also be interested in Lauren."
"Fart." Tang Huan scolded with a smile, "What do you think I rely on to control hundreds of thousands of people? Without a solid knowledge of people, how can I run a huge industry and sit on the throne of the richest man? Is it purely technical talent? If that's the case, I'd probably end up like you, and be kicked out of my start-up company."
Jobs didn't get angry at the revelation, he said with a smile: "Lauren and I will go to Hawaii for vacation first, and we will get married when we come back. At that time, I hope to invite you to be the best man."
"Are you wanting the media to start a new round of overwhelming satire on me?" Tang Huan cut his throat.
Jobs, who had lost his "buddies" for a long time, quickly explained: "The wedding will definitely be a small-scale private event, and there will never be media harassment."
Tang Huan thought for a while, and then put forward a condition: "This job is not easy, unless you allow me to live broadcast the wedding through AOL, such as posting some pictures, texts and other things on my exclusive page."
Jobs was a little confused at once, "Don, don't you think you are very contradictory? You hate gossip, but you create gossip around me!"
"This is not gossip, but operation." Tang Huan emphasized solemnly.
"Okay, but only three photos can be published at most." Jobs reluctantly agreed.
"Then I have to think about the schedule." Tang Huan pondered, "Rb's economic situation makes the IT market a bit unpredictable, so I have to go to the field to investigate."
"You're cruel." Jobs resentfully made a concession.
...
While an exact date for Jobs' wedding has yet to be set, the Gulf War is on track.
On January 12, 1991, the U.S. Congress authorized the military to drive Iraq out of Kuwait.
Shortly thereafter, other countries in the coalition supporting the Kuwaiti royal family also authorized their own militaries.
On January 17, after the ultimatum of UN Security Council Resolution 678, the multinational coalition forces began to implement a large-scale, high-intensity air strike called "Operation Desert Storm"-using weapons such as guided bombs, cluster bombs, air bombs and cruise missiles , launching thousands of attacks every day.
As a corresponding retaliation, Iraq launched 8 Scud missiles at Israel the next day, trying to drag the other party into the battle and force other Arab countries to withdraw from the war. But this strategy has not been successful. Israel did not join the coalition, while all Arab states remained in the coalition, except Jordan, which remained neutral.
On January 29, Iraq captured the Saudi Arabian city of Khafji with tanks and infantry. As a result, just two days later, the Iraqi army was driven out by the US Marine Corps and the Saudi Arabian army, which had a strong air cover.
The development of the situation shows that Saddam Hussein, playing with fire, reaped his own consequences.
Under the fierce air strikes, Iraq's air force and air defense facilities, command and communication facilities were destroyed with precision.
Saddam Hussein also has the common problem of heroes, that is, he likes to command his army in detail, so that the initiative of the small army is almost completely lost. As a result, the Iraqi army, whose command system has been paralyzed, is almost blind and deaf, unable to make an effective counterattack at all.
But that's not all, the third and biggest objective of this air war is to hit military targets in Iraq and occupied Kuwait - power plants, communications facilities, ports, oil refineries, railways and bridges, even Both nuclear power plants were attacked.
On February 22, Iraq, which was beaten bruised and swollen, agreed to a ceasefire agreement proposed by the Soviet Union. That is to say, Iraq will return to the pre-war position and a complete ceasefire within three weeks, and the withdrawal and ceasefire will be observed by the UN Security Council; but the United States rejected this proposal, saying only that the Iraqi troops withdrawn from Kuwait will not be attacked, but within 24 hours Inside.
Saddam Hussein's plan to delay the attack immediately failed.
On February 24, the U.S. military began a land combat operation known as the "Desert Saber" that divided its troops into three groups.
Among them, the US 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions, with the cooperation of the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Armored Division, invaded Kuwait from the east.
On February 27, US President Bush announced that Kuwait was liberated.
In addition to the oil war, this war is also a media war, and even a refreshing cyber war—the major online service platforms in the United States, in this information dissemination and sharing activities that pursue timeliness, separate out Compete.
