Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 552 Noise from the Semiconductor Alliance
……

After Tang Huan returned to the United States, he first visited Lin Qingxia, who just gave birth to a pair of twin brothers for him this month, named Jin Jia and Jin Yan.

The genes of the reborn were really strong, and this was the sixth twin in a row. The people close to him who knew the inside story had long been familiar with it, and even Tang Huan was a little numb.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were naturally aggrieved for their daughter, but Lin Qingxia looked away from it from the beginning, became a mother happily, and is now getting back into shape in an orderly manner.

Speaking of which, Tang Huan's backyard is definitely stable and united. After several women from the same 1950s as him boarded the "pirate ship", they all understood the general situation and maintained a tacit understanding of the current balanced life situation.

Of course, this result may also be related to some special factors.

The young and frivolous ship queen Christina, after experiencing several major blows in her life, put all her energy on how to revive the Onassis family. Tang Huan, who chased after success, was her strongest backing. With four children around him, his mind is naturally extremely focused.

Deng Lijun, Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao, Hu Yinmeng, Zhao Yazhi, and Mi Xue, first of all, are more or less bound by the traditional concept of oriental women, and secondly, they maintain their own space, that is, the so-called distance produces beauty, So it has been safe and sound.

Take Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia as an example. The relationship between the two is the best among them, but they did not stop after the visit and continued to work on their own concerts.

As for the little sisters in the 1960s like Guan Zhilin, Weng Jingjing, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Manyu, Monica Bellucci, etc., they were basically brainwashed by Tang Huan early and became brainless fans who adore and admire.

After Tang Huan showed up in a big way, Father Lin and Mother Lin didn't say anything more except for vaguely complaining that he was not around when the child was born, and soon gave the two of them some space to be alone.

In fact, from a secular point of view, Tang Huan has been very dedicated.Originally, the Lin family all came to live in the United States. Although they had a small amount of savings, they had no foundation, and they were basically sitting on nothing. However, this cheap uncle of his had always been helping them in every possible way.Therefore, the two elders also acquiesced to the title of father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Tang Huan embraced his son and looked at it carefully, while muttering, "This is my family's elder eleven and elder twelve. After two days, Daddy will give you a pair of dog tags to play with."

With a snap, Lin Qingxia hit Tang Huan with the book in her hand, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tang Huan laughed, "The dog tags I'm talking about are military identification tags. Recently, I'm more interested in military collections, so I collected some. It feels like a very masculine accessory."

Lin Qingxia was furious, "That's not necessary."

Tang Huan continued to joke: "So busy refusing to do it, maybe my son likes to play."

Lin Qingxia snorted, "I'm in charge, my son will definitely not like it, they have already received a lot of toys."

Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, picked up a book and flipped through it, "I heard that my big star plans to write."

"I have nothing to do, so I wrote some casually." Lin Qingxia looked a little embarrassed, and then added: "I am just an occasional interest, so I am not allowed to mention this matter to others."

"So modest, are you planning to become a blockbuster?" Tang Huan blinked narrowly.

Lin Qingxia gave Tang Huan a white look, "With you, a great doctor, standing there, how can a little girl dare to fight against others."

Tang Huan nodded, "Okay, then I will wait patiently for the day when your masterpiece is finished."

After raising this topic, Lin Qingxia changed the topic and said with envy: "Li Jun's world tour has successfully come to the United States, but it's a pity that I can't go to watch it live."

"Then let her give you a special show." Tang Huan came up with an idea casually while teasing his son with a rattle.

"I believe that after the world tour, Li Jun's career will reach a new peak." Lin Qingxia's eyes flashed with envy. "After my body recovers, I want to continue my acting career. You won't object, right?"

"I respect your interest." Tang Huan expressed his support very quickly, "I guess you plan to follow Li Jun's example and hand over the burden of taking care of the children to the two elderly people."

"Don't mention how much my parents like these brothers. After all, my sister is far away in the mainland, and it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to get in touch with the third generation of children." Lin Qingxia explained carefully.

"As long as they are happy." Tang Huan snapped his fingers, "I think many people don't want you, a big star, to retire too early."

"If I hadn't personally learned that many actresses here in Hollywood enter their prime career after the age of 30, I might not have the courage to compete with others." Lin Qingxia sighed.

Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, "Can you be content? How many artists can be as popular as you in your 20s? Your achievements are already high enough, but you need more attempts and accumulation during the transition period."

Lin Qingxia raised her hand and waved it in front of Tang Huan, "If I really have the achievements you mentioned, why are there so few art awards I can get?"

Tang Huan was a little speechless, and murmured to himself that Lin Meiren probably had a demon about the Golden Horse Awards.It's no wonder that Lin Fengjiao, who has always been by her aunt Tang Yun's side and looks like a doctor, has already climbed to the top, and people are afraid of comparison!

"Let's not be in a hurry, let's get back to the state first." Tang Huan quickly comforted in a soft voice.

……

Although the affairs of the family were complicated, but with the aunt Tang Yun in charge and the supervision of Lin Fengjiao, Zhao Yazhi, Tang Wenmao, etc., they were in order.

Tang Huan is particularly concerned about the adjustment of his own assets, because as the stock prices of listed companies under his name continue to rise, the extent of his paper wealth expansion can only be described as the top of the wealth list. They can't be compared together.

Even if Tang Huan had already sold billions of dollars of Fangyuan Computer Company stock in order to raise military expenses for his uncle Han Anyuan so that he could buy equipment from the United States, he could not stop the fierce upward trend.

Everything in the world requires a balance. Tang Huan had to seek advice from the consultant team, and then adjust the assets under his name.

Among them, the main measure is to place some rights and interests under the names of foundations, trust companies, etc., so that Tang Huan's personal wealth can be diverted to the family system, and ultimately maintained at a scale of more than 100 billion US dollars, although it is still the best. , but it won’t be as shocking anymore.

These adjustments went smoothly, and now that they are basically completed, Tang Huan feels more at ease.

After confirming the results of this work, Tang Wenmao asked with some doubts: "We are acquiring cellular phone licenses and building communication networks across the United States outside of California. The demand for funds is already huge, why do we still need to spend so much money? How much US dollar cash will be sent to the Japanese capital market? Even if it continues to lend money to banks.”

"Because Japan has more room for asset appreciation. I have my own plans for this matter, so you don't have to worry about it." Tang Huan waved his hand without explaining too much.

The appreciation of the yen and the launch of the privatization of Japanese public enterprises have almost met all the conditions, nothing more than the critical time node.

Although the wealth I own now is very considerable, but there are also many places to use the money, so naturally I need to expand my financial resources.

As for bank loans, it is not borrowing for nothing.

From the perspective of the country and the bank, a person who has never taken out a loan does not mean that his financial credit is good, but it means zero; and those who borrow frequently and repay on time have the best financial credit. quality customers.

This is precisely the role of Tang Huan's halo as the richest man. He does not have to suffer from insufficient credit and cannot lend the ideal amount of funds like many tycoons, so he has to resort to junk bonds with high interest rates.Since banks are happy to lend money, why don't you use it yourself?You know, a loan is also an asset.

Seeing that Tang Huan was so confident, Tang Wenmao tactfully did not ask further questions, but talked about another situation.

"Through the acquisition of a cellular phone license, I have learned a lot about the latest developments in the communication industry. Pacific Telecommunications, which provides comprehensive communication services for the Los Angeles Olympics, has recently been the focus of widespread public attention."

"What other comments are there from the outside world?" Tang Huan asked with interest.

"Pacific Telecom is very active in developing new areas such as caller ID, network data services, cellular communications, etc. and has invested huge amounts of money, but it does not seem to be enthusiastic about upgrading communication networks. Other communications companies in the United States, especially in Europe, Communications companies are enthusiastically discussing and even promoting ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Network. In contrast, many industry commentators are badmouthing Pacific Telecom's business strategy." Tang Wenmao carefully fed back the unfavorable information he had received.

Unexpectedly, Tang Huan smiled dismissively, "The update of communication technology should not only focus on the pursuit of simple advancement, but also take into account local conditions. Moreover, there may not be only one road to advancement."

Seeing Tang Wenmao's dazed expression again, Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand, "I also have arrangements for this matter, so put your heart into your stomach, and fighting for more cell phone licenses is the top priority."

At this time, John Chambers came over in a hurry, "Don, you came back too soon, I just need you to shake the scene."

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, "Fangyuan Computer Company is now a well-known listed company, who dares to judge us?"

"It's not the American semiconductor industry alliance formed by Robert Noyce, known as the 'Mayor of Silicon Valley'." John Chambers spread his hands helplessly, "This alliance is lobbying the federal government to counter the Japanese semiconductor industry." The dumping of memory, on the one hand put pressure on us computer manufacturers, hoping to get more memory orders."

Seeing Tang Huan's disapproving expression, John Chambers quickly added: "Although there are a lot of computer manufacturers, IBM took the lead in instigating them. As long as Fangyuan Computer Company, the world's largest memory purchaser, takes the lead in agreeing to the alliance's request, I am willing to Follow with consent."

Tang Huan was stunned for a moment, and then burst out swearing dumbfoundedly, "Isn't this a rogue, I usually want to step on our heads to shit and pee, but at this juncture, I am willing to follow our ass and be a little brother!"

"In fact, many traditional computer manufacturers like IBM have a wide range of business fields, and it is difficult to purely delineate the attributes of their interest camps. IBM is one of the members of that alliance." Depressed John Chambers continued to introduce Some current situation.

"This is a clear conspiracy. IBM hopes to use this to destroy our memory supply chain, so as to attack Fangyuan Computer's cost advantage." Tang Huan analyzed deeply.

"I think so too." John Chambers said with a dry mouth. He picked up the water glass, tilted his neck, drank it all, and even sucked a few tea leaves into his mouth and chewed it without grace. chew.

"As you said, a company with a long history such as IBM has a wide range of business fields, and it is difficult to purely delineate the attributes of the interest camp. Many members of the alliance are not so caring, right? After all, not everyone will put eggs in memory In one basket. For example, Motorola also has processors, communication equipment and other businesses, and Intel, which is a little bit poorer, also has Intel80286 as a support, and including major memory manufacturers such as Micron, they have received orders from us, which can be regarded as vested Interested parties, do they dare to take advantage of the fire?" Tang Huan asked sarcastically.

"Don, although you have only just come back, you immediately saw the crux of the problem." John Chambers gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Of course an alliance composed of dozens of companies cannot be monolithic, you These vested interests mentioned are indeed impossible and so ignorant to run on us. However, Intel is the most entangled among them, after all, the convener of this alliance, Robert Noyce, is their founder and major shareholder.”

"Then, besides IBM, who in the league has the most fun, who is willing to be a pawn and charge forward to attack us?" Tang Huan asked with a cold light in his eyes.

"It's Mostek, the largest memory supplier in the U.S. market." John Chambers replied without hesitation. .”

This Mostek company has nothing to do with the MOSTechnology company that launched the famous 8-bit microprocessor MOS6502, just the name is close. It was founded by a group of people who left Texas Instruments.

Texas Instruments, like Intel, contributed significantly to the introduction of integrated circuits.Therefore, Mostek, which has the pedigree of Texas Instruments, has very strong technical strength.

After Intel developed 1KB DRAM, its market share was as high as 90.00%.

However, when Intel launched 1972KB DRAM in the middle of 4, Intel had quality problems. As a result, Mostek seized the opportunity to catch up and quickly occupied the 4KB DRAM market, and took the lead in launching 16KB DRAM chips.

By 1979, Mostek's market share in the U.S. DRAM market had reached 80.00%.

But when Japanese semiconductor companies rushed into the United States howling, Mostek quickly fell from the peak, and its business shrank sharply.

Such an outdated overlord in the semiconductor industry did not need to care about its life and clamor at all, but just like RCA and General Electric are inextricably linked, Mostek also has a backer behind it, and Tang Huan had to consider its possible future. reaction.
