Chapter Nine Hundred and Thirty: The Opening of Internet Number.com

...

Some people may ask, is Tang Huan short of a ship? Before asking this question, you should first ask the Queen of Ships, Christina, is there a shortage of ships?

It can only be said that the luxury hobby of the richest man has a new direction - it is on par with the aircraft carrier.

It is guessed that one of the agendas of this trip to Europe is to go to Russia as the next best thing - the people there are poor and short-sighted, and the aircraft carrier cannot afford it.

With Tang Huan's departure, the United States finally has the political atmosphere of the mid-term elections, and a revolution is ready to go.

It was pointed out by the media recently that James Cameron, who often appears next to the richest man, is also in the accompanying team-it seems that he really has an extraordinary filming plan.

This is of course - more than ten years ago, the fleet funded by Tang Huan discovered the Titanic that had sunk at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for more than half a century. Although documentaries and cartoons were made based on this, the response was not bad , but there is still more to come; now it's time to move to the big screen.

Since the plan has been planned for a long time, the preparations so far are naturally sufficient-James Cameron's director skills are quite mature; the technical reserves of computer special effects are sufficient...

Among other things, Tang Huan confirmed one more point, that is, the irreplaceability of James Cameron as the project executor-for the Titanic, the richest man is definitely very curious, but James Cameron Long has reached the level of infatuation.

The relevant materials he collected on the Titanic can be piled up into a museum, and even every crew member and passenger on board at that time have been archived specially.

Perhaps, some filmmakers in Hollywood are more capable than James Cameron; but this enthusiasm is definitely not as high as James Cameron.

With just this difference, Tang Daheng, who has countless Hollywood resources in his hands, can determine how he should choose.

Among all the preparations for the shooting of the Titanic, there is one that is more troublesome. So far, the related image data of the Titanic are mainly taken by robots diving to the bottom of the sea at about 4,000 meters; while James Cameron is Wanted to see this wreck up close and personal.

Mr. Richest's Fisher Treasure Hunting Fleet, although equipped with advanced equipment, has not yet reached such a high-end level.

At present, as far as the world is concerned, there are only a handful of submarines capable of diving to 4,000 meters, and they are only distributed in a few countries such as the United States, the former Soviet Union, and France.

The reason why the Fisher treasure hunting fleet was able to find the wreckage of the Titanic was largely due to the credit of the US military. He wanted to find the two nuclear submarines that disappeared many years ago, so while secretly entrusting the mission, he sent the Alvin submarine, which can dive to 4,000 meters, to assist.

Therefore, it is not easy for James Cameron to observe the Titanic sleeping 4,000 meters on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean at close range.

Fortunately, just like the commercial launch of satellites and aircraft carrier hotel plans, you can find high-quality and low-cost solutions in Russia.

The Soviet Academy of Sciences, which is now the Russian Academy of Sciences, has deep-sea submarines similar to the Alvin, and there are still a pair of them, namely Peace 1 and Peace 2, which are more convenient to use.

Tang Huan brought James Cameron with him in order to efficiently concentrate on solving such preparatory issues, and at the same time use the time gap during the schedule to communicate well.

James Cameron's two most recent films -- "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" and "True Lies" -- both had shooting budgets approaching $100 million, while "Titanic" had an initial budget of $150 million. Dollar.

According to the experience of the original time and space and the current situation, the richest man is already ready to pay for it again.

Of course, this plan must never be revealed, and James Cameron must be pushed on the first step.

Otherwise, "Titanic" is very likely to get out of control and become a financial disaster. After all, in this operation process, there are countless random interference factors.

Of course, James Cameron knew the way to do this, so when Tang Huan emphasized that he would directly listen to the reports on the candidates for the hero and heroine and the progress of the filming in the future, he obediently agreed, and even hinted that some private information from the boss Goods, you can carry them as you see fit.

Of course, James Cameron's attitude is based on Tang Huan's consistent respect for his work during the long-term cooperation.

This time, Mr. Richest Man's requirements are more stringent, which is not difficult to understand.

After all, where is the investment on an unprecedented scale? If you count the operations related to "big ships" such as the aircraft carrier hotel and the Rockefeller Center viewing platform "Top of the Rock", it will be even more staggering-no matter which boss will Be extremely cautious.

Generally speaking, James Cameron and Tang Huan, when it comes to the topic of the Titanic, can be said to "smell the same", and the richest man always has a "pampering and indulgent" attitude. All maintained a harmonious tone.

Outside of the movie topic, James Cameron couldn't help his gossip and asked curiously, "Don, do you really want to buy a decommissioned aircraft carrier from Russia this time?"

"Although the Russian aircraft carrier is much smaller than the American aircraft carrier, it is better than nothing. It finally bears the name of an aircraft carrier." The richest man shook his head regretfully.

Then, he looked at James Cameron and joked: "The popularity of this aircraft carrier hotel chain largely depends on your "Titanic" movie to drive the popularity of the 'big ship' theme. By the way, Rockefeller Center The same goes for the simulated cruise ship on the viewing platform 'Top of the Rock'."

Hearing this, James Cameron couldn't help sweating, because he got a new piece of information - the aircraft carrier hotel is still a chain!

However, there is one sentence that James Cameron heard in his heart-"Your "Titanic" movie", based on this alone, he has to work hard!

...

The first stop of Mr. Richest's trip to Europe is the United Kingdom, which he has been entangled with for many years. The local media picked up on the news and wanted to find out what he, the new owner of Rockefeller Center, would do in Great Britain.

Tang Huan's official schedule is very tight, and he has no time to deal with the media. Fortunately, the trip to the British Isles before leaving satisfied the desire of the curious—Mr. The Richest Man publicly visited the Harland and Wolff Shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Immediately there were some smart guys who swore to predict—see, the big move of the richest man was to acquire this long-established heavy industry company.

Obviously, it is impossible for Tang Huan to buy whoever he visits—he just urges Harland and Wolff to provide as detailed information as possible in terms of the structure of the Titanic, so as to help the movie to be as perfect as possible. Restore the historical style at that time.

Naturally, the face and enthusiasm of Mr. Richest Man cannot be fooled—the Harland and Wolff Shipyard even dug out a few long-haired blueprint boxes in the end to ensure that they really had no stock.

After collecting the information, the British media proudly announced that they had confirmed ahead of all their counterparts in the world that the legendary movie of Tycoon Tang was the subject of the Titanic.

The evidence is overwhelming - Harland and Wolff built the largest and most luxurious Olympic-class cruise ships in the world at the turn of the century. There are three ships in total, namely Olympic, Titanic and Britannia.

Britannia was requisitioned as a hospital ship in World War I, but was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine.

As the first ship of this class, the HMS Olympic had a slightly legendary experience—when it met the cruiser HMS Hawke of the Royal Navy in the second year after it was launched, due to the Bernoulli effect of hydrodynamics, it got close to the other party. Together, they knocked it into a semi-disabled body, and were judged to be fully responsible by the British Royal Navy military court; during the First World War, it was requisitioned by the British Royal Navy as a troop carrier, and as a result, it inevitably encountered German ships. However, by performing the "iron head skill" again, the opponent was sunk and escaped.

However, the 50,000-ton cruise ship splitting the 800-ton submarine in half, although it is very dramatic, it is not comparable to the tragic shipwreck of the Titanic, which caused a sensation in the world.

Connecting this analysis with the discovery of the wreckage of the Titanic by Mr. Richest's treasure hunting fleet, the result is self-evident.

The tacit attitude of the richest man to this is also equivalent to admitting that this guess is correct.

Now, the British media is getting more and more complacent—who is the best gossip?

Knowing that the "strongest" richest man in the UK, he didn't say much. He just stopped by to visit Sophie Marceau who was filming "Braveheart" when he went to Ireland in the south.

In order to get the ideal war scene effect, the crew invited thousands of Irish Army reservists to act as extras - I hope that the British media will "like" this film by then.

...

When Tang Huan arrived in Moscow, Russia, which had already heard the news, was ready-welcome to buy a Russian-brand aircraft carrier.

In Russia at this stage, it is difficult to describe it exactly.

Politics: Last year, in order to fight for power, Karma Chin mobilized the army to surround the parliament, fought fiercely, and finally took over the power.

Economically: Russia is being treated for shock by "shock therapy".

Military aspects: Toughness is a tradition. Suppressing the divisions below is a trivial matter, but the shortage of military expenditure is a fact that no one can deny. The aircraft carrier, which requires a lot of resources to maintain, is naturally left out.

The aircraft carrier construction of the Soviet Union lags behind the West, and the number of aircraft carriers inherited by Russia is even less pitiful. There are mainly four Kyiv-class ships, namely Kyiv, Minsk, Novorossiysk, and Gorshkov Soviet Navy Marshal. Among them, the first three were decommissioned last year; the latter had a boiler explosion this year and was "lying dead" in the port.

All in all, the current Russian Navy can ignore the configuration of aircraft carriers.

The Russian side is quite sincere, and directly put out the first of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier series - the Kyiv, you can take it now, anyway, it is better than a ton of scrap iron that may not sell for $150.

Compared with American-style aircraft carriers, Soviet-style aircraft carriers are obviously much smaller in tonnage, and the hull design tends to be equipped with more missiles, but as a carrier-based aircraft platform, it is very limited.

Tang Huan looked at the video data of the Kyiv, and said that although he was not satisfied, it was still so-so, but the aircraft carrier hotel plan would have several around the world - one is obviously not enough.

Russia hesitated for a moment—see what this means, Mr. Richest Man is planning to buy all his aircraft carriers in a package. The oldest Kyiv is still very cost-effective to sell, but the other three are still planning to see if they can raise some money to repair and reuse them.

Tang Huan didn't have time to stay in Russia, so he said - I want the Kyiv, and you send it to Greece as my first aircraft carrier hotel; as for whether the other three aircraft carriers are sold or not, you continue to calculate Bar.

The news was quickly learned by the Western media, and it spread like crazy—the richest man in Tang, who just bought the Rockefeller Center from a book, plans to pack the Russian navy this time.

...

After Tang Huan visited the research ship of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the Baltic Sea, the Keldysh Academician, and the two attached Mir submarines, he immediately signed a lease contract for the whole of next year, and then returned directly to the United States.

When the media blocked Mr. Richest, he was smiling and admiring a lot of domain names that had just been registered.

This most famous house number on the Internet has been managed by the U.S. Department of Defense before, and it is inconvenient to register. Since 1985, when the first domain name was born, the most famous examples are Fangyuan, Zheru, EA, and Hewlett-Packard. , ibm, AT&T, etc.

Under the lobbying of many parties, the management right of the domain name has just been handed over to the commercial organization - as long as you pay 100 US dollars, you can easily get a favorite domain name.

Tang Huan seemed to have seen that all kinds of people were already walking on the glittering golden road.

However, the richest man did not get carried away. When the reporter eagerly asked whether it was true to pack up the Russian Navy, he immediately denied it—I just wanted to open a global chain of aircraft carrier hotels.
