Chapter 1041 The first phone of the Iridium system
“One book and China, one with only a lap of water, traveling between the two places is much faster and more convenient than going to the United States.” Sun Zhengyi replied: “So, I have personally ran a few times in the past few years, and I deeply feel that it is still in its infancy. , But the potential is too great to estimate.”
After the overall affirmation, Sun Zhengyi pondered: “Currently, the Internet’s service targets in China are mainly government agencies, especially foreign trade. The vendors that provide related solutions are mostly local startups. SoftBank is approaching , On the one hand, foster a foundation of mutual trust, on the other hand, have a deep understanding of the worthy investment goals.”
Tang Huan nodded, “At this stage, the atmosphere of computer and Internet in major universities in China is very good. Therefore, in just a few years, the social class there will appear, and there will be hundreds of millions of highly educated people. It is the driving force of youth applications.”
“Although the up-and-comers have many shortcomings, including the weak foundation, but at the same time, in the process of accepting and applying new things, they are also less entangled in vested interests.”
“In my opinion, the prospects of e-commerce in China are even better than those of many developed economies.”
Sun Zhengyi asked humbly: “There are so many companies in the United States that do e-commerce through the Internet, which one is Tang more optimistic about?”
“It should be that E-Bay and Amazon can go further.” Tang Huan pondered: “The auction platform quickly built by the former is undoubtedly the most in line with the current understanding of the Internet C2C application model; the latter is not in business planning. Anxious to make profits immediately, but to steadily cultivate a self-centered b2c application model. Although it has been criticized by shareholders, it is a long-term solution.”
…
The two were chatting on the topic of e-commerce, and the assistant came over and reported softly: “Boss, Motorola wants to confirm your itinerary to attend the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system on August 1.”
The richest man nodded slightly, “No matter how busy I am, I have to show it.”
Although he is not optimistic about the prospects of the Iridium system, Tang Huan is still very active in participating in order to learn valuable experience and lessons.
Compared with the original time and space, the official commercial time of the Iridium satellite system is slightly earlier, thanks to the assistance of the Tang Kingdom.
For example, in terms of terminal equipment manufacturing, in addition to Motorola itself, there are also Fangyuan Company and a copy of Kyocera.
The assistant reminded: “Boss, U.S. Vice President Al Gore will also attend the ceremony that day.”
Tang Huan put the teacup on the table and asked faintly, “So what?”
“Yes.” The assistant agreed clearly: “I will give Motorola a definite reply.”
…
Seeing the assistant leaving from the back, Sun Zhengyi asked with concern: “Tang, I understand that US Vice President Al Gore publicly sided with the Ministry of Justice in the United States of America v. Philosopher Software Corporation Monopoly Case. The meeting is here. Is there any special trouble?”
“It’s not a big deal, it’s nothing more than ambition. This Mr. Vice President is not so stable.” Tang Huan snorted and casually talked about the secrets of American politics that he had mastered.
After being transferred from the White House to the Department of Defense, the heroine of the US President Bill Clinton’s “Zipper Door” incident, Monica Levinsky, met Linda Trepp and became a boudoir who talked about everything. Close friends of China, including mentioning various indescribable things with U.S. President Bill Clinton.
Otherwise, the workplace is deep, knowing people, knowing faces and not knowing the heart.
What Monica Levinsky didn’t know was that these monstrous secrets she told her girlfriends were secretly recorded by the other party, and they became one of the conclusive evidence of the current scandal.
At the beginning, Monica Levinsky, like Bill Clinton, categorically denied any improper relationship between the two.
But this kind of separation, where can be betrayed by girlfriends?
Monica Levinsky will be charged with obstruction of justice as soon as Linda Trip sends the recording out.
Just in the past July 28th, Monica Levinsky was granted immunity at the cost of honest confession and testimony.
In order to protect herself, Monica Levinsky produced the most lethal evidence, that is, a skirt with “trace” left as a “souvenir” collection.
In this way, no matter how cleverly Bill Clinton defended it, after dna’s appraisal result came out, it would become a ridiculous lie.
Al Gore tried his best to defend Bill Clinton in the “Zipper Door” incident, but now he is quite critical.
The reason is not difficult to understand.
Bill Clinton’s carefully crafted lie brought Al Gore into it. But the American vice president was also ambitiously preparing to participate in the two-thousand-year presidential election of the United States. As a result, he is now standing on the wrong team “unclearly”, and he immediately gave competitors a great excuse to attack.
This subtle change in attitude immediately affected the friendly and cooperative relationship between Bill Clinton and Al Gore.
The richest man finally concluded bluntly: “As Al Gore and Bill Clinton have a rift, it will be difficult for him to obtain power in the form of appointments from the president.”
Sun Zhengyi sighed: “I hope that in two years, this American vice president will not appear on the list of candidates for the presidential election of the United States.”
Tang Huan laughed noncommitantly, and turned to say: “After seeing the United States of America suing Zheru Software for its monopoly, the EU and Yiben are all following in the fun. You have to take the time to help Masako and do some research. PR work.”
“Unshirkable responsibility.” Sun Zhengyi graciously agreed.
…
On August 1, 1998, under the personal presidency of Christopher Galvin, the third generation of the Galvin family, Chairman and CEO of Motorola, the much-anticipated Iridium system was officially commercialized. The atmosphere began enthusiastically.
The enthusiastic reporters have never forgotten, watching closely the actions of the world’s richest man Tang Huan and US Vice President Al Gore.
You know, after Al Gore blatantly stood on the side of the Ministry of Justice in the United States of America v. Zheru Software Corporation’s monopoly case, this was the first time he and Tang Huan appeared in public at the same time.
As a result, the reporters were not disappointed. From the moment they entered the public eye, the two had not interacted in any form, even the minimum eye contact.
Obviously, the relationship between Tang Huan, the world’s richest man, and Al Gore, the vice president of the United States, has broken openly and openly!
Christopher Galvin, who is a child of a family, is very embarrassed by this situation.
According to the original plan, a business leader with a pivotal position in the high-tech field, and a politician who has been passionate about the high-tech industry for a long time, at the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system is definitely a perfect combination of VIP guests.
Unexpectedly, in just over a month’s work, the situation suddenly changed. The relationship between them took a sharp turn and deteriorated to the point where they looked so boring. This also made the atmosphere of the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system. , Became weird.
For fear that conflicts would suddenly erupt at a certain time that could not be taken care of, Christopher Galvin, who made mistakes on this important occasion, found a gap and whispered to the richest man: “Tang, everyone is all the attention. Character, show your tolerance, don’t make it so stiff.”
“I don’t have the temperament of a gentleman like you.” The richest man replied faintly: “Someone wants to step on me and achieve their own goals. Would you let me bend down while accompanied by a sweet smile?”
Christopher Galvin shrugged with a wry smile, “We have been friends for so many years, of course I am on your side, but I don’t feel the need to be so obvious to let the media see the jokes.”
Tang Huan patted the other party on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, I know the priorities, and will not turn the extremely important official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system into a farce.”
Christopher Galvin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “When I find a suitable opportunity later, I will mediate and let you sit down and talk together to see if there is any misunderstanding.”
The richest man nodded noncommittal with a playful look on his face.
In any case, Tang Huan made a statement of controlling his emotions, which relieved Christopher Galvin’s pressure a lot.
Next, he found another opportunity and gave a similar persuasion to Al Gore, and the other party said innocently: He did nothing wrong, it was Tang who took the initiative to demonstrate.
Christopher Galvin suddenly understood: The two have become a deadlock, there is no need to waste feelings when the peace is old.
Okay, do it whatever you want, as long as you don’t do it on this occasion, just start a fight!
The situation is as the Chairman and CEO of Motorola wants. Although outsiders can see that the relationship between the world’s richest man Tang Huan and the US Vice President Al Gore is very mismatched, they behaved very professionally on this occasion. , To maintain the tacit understanding of each other’s well-waters not violating the river waters, and all links including the speeches are proceeding smoothly and smoothly according to the plan.
Until the climax to the climax of the official commercial ceremony of the Iridium system, Christopher Galvin announced with enthusiasm: “Next will be a moment of historical significance. The Iridium system will usher in its first Phone. We invite a heavyweight guest to open this great chapter.”
Al Gore looked at the Iridium terminal phone on the table with a smile, and was brewing in his heart. When he dialed the first call of the Iridium system for a while, he and his wife, Tippa Gore, Under the attention of the public, what are we talking about.
When he heard that Christopher Galvin had finished selling off his son to arouse the emotions of the scene, Al Gore checked the cuffs one last time, and then strode forward.
Suddenly, the press conference became quiet and weird, and it was almost impossible to smell some people’s heavy breathing despite their depressing efforts.
Al Gore was puzzled in his heart, and quickly looked around, suddenly feeling shocked and angry in his heart.
Gein, he saw that Tang Huanzheng strode to the meteor site and walked to the table where the Iridium terminal phone was placed, and depending on the posture, he had to arrive first.
Before he could think about it, he also took care of his demeanor. Al Gore almost trot and rushed to the Iridium terminal phone.
Seeing this sudden situation, Christopher Galvin, his head rumbling at a loss, almost blurted out, “Tang, you promised me to control my emotions on the spot. According to the plan, the Iridium system The first call was made by U.S. Vice President Al Gore. What are you going to grab?”
Compared with the awkwardness of Motorola’s chairman and chief executive officer, all the reporters present looked excited and almost stared out of their eyes.
Sure enough, worthy of our patience, the good show finally came!
As the temperature on the scene was rising, the richest man in Anbu and the messy American vice president came to the table almost at the same time, and reached out their hands almost at the same time…but it was only a millisecond away, the Iridium terminal phone , Fell onto the former’s hand gently and skillfully.
With a meaningful smile on Tang Huan’s face, he said, “In a few days, it will be my birthday. Since the communication function of the Iridium system can reach all directions, it just allows me to take advantage of its magic and convenience. The earth calls friends and friends for the birthday.”
Christopher Galvin, who was relieved, hurried over, and while rounding the ground to cover the shameless U.S. Vice President Al Gore exited while alleviating the embarrassment, followed the words of the world’s richest man Tang Huan. , Continued: “It’s true, it’s about one week away, it’s Tang’s birthday, so I should prepare in advance.”
No one in the audience agreed.
Do you think we are blind, or are you naive? Use such a pale excuse to find steps!
Tang Huan was going to smoke Al Gore’s face.
But we like it!
Haha, the breaking news, there is it!
By the way, I don’t know where the first call of the Iridium system will be made by the richest man?
Will you celebrate the victory directly on the spot?
If that’s the case, the fun will be great!
…
The continuous quietness of the scene made the dialing sound of the Iridium terminal phone very clear.
…
“The White House? This is Tang, please transfer to Mr. President.”
…
“Is it No. 10 Downing Street? This is Tang, please transfer to Mr. Prime Minister.”
…
“Elysée Palace? This is Tang, please transfer to Mr. President.”
…
“The Kremlin? This is Don, please transfer to Mr. President.”
…
“Nan Zhong Hai? This is Tang, please transfer to Mr. Chairman.”
…
“Is the prime minister’s residence? This is Tang, please transfer to Mr. Prime Minister.”
…
The richest man is indeed calling friends!
In about ten minutes, he used the Iridium terminal phone to make a circle from west to east on a global scale, and made a total of six calls.
The United Nations can’t do it with such an efficiency!
Sure enough, it reaches all directions!
U.S. Vice President Al Gore’s face was pale.
Christopher Galvin, Motorola’s chairman and chief executive officer, was dumbfounded.
The rest are indescribable.
