Reborn Capital Madman

In addition to the energy-consuming task of reorganizing Sega, Gao Xian deliberately adjusted his other work schedule to be more relaxed, because during this time, Patricia went to Asia, and he had to spare his energy to take care of his three little ones.

When you get naughty, it's quite a headache.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to get along, Patricia's cousin, George Hearst, who had taken over as chairman of the board of directors of the Hearst Corporation, frequently came over to visit.

After Patricia's father, Randolph Hearst, retired, George Hearst, the new head of the Hearst Corporation, naturally wanted to make some achievements, and even secretly looked forward to restoring his grandfather's

The glory of the era’s media empire.

Especially after Patricia was a blessing in disguise and relied on the big mountain of Gao Xian, George Hearst felt that he could mobilize significantly more resources.

Hearst Group is a newspaper empire, and with the rapid development of the television industry, the energy of this vibrant media method is becoming more and more eye-catching.

In the 1970s, developed economies like the United States basically completed the popularization of color televisions.

As far as the TVs placed in thousands of households are concerned, there is nothing for media practitioners to use their brains. At least before smart TVs become popular, they belong to the territory of home appliance manufacturers.

The space available for media practitioners to operate is the production and broadcast of TV program content, which also involves different fields such as the competition for cable TV operating licenses, the construction of cable TV signal transmission cable networks, the construction of satellite TV wireless networks, etc.

No one can occupy all the territory.

Gao Xing, who was well aware of George Hearst's ambitions and was willing to push forward, first needed to make it clear which direction he wanted to focus on.

"I think cable TV networks are the best. First, establish local central stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other metropolitan areas, and then choose the opportunity to expand into the United States." George Hearst tentatively asked: "What do you think?"

Gao Xian touched his beard and did not express his position immediately. As far as he knew, the competition in this circle will only become more and more fierce. Ted Turner, the boss of Turner Broadcasting Company, should have already begun to prepare a cable news network.

; In the "old script", a few years later, media tycoon Murdoch even became a naturalized citizen of the United States in order to develop the American cable TV network.

"I heard that in order to compete for very fragmented cable TV licenses, not only the purchase price has been continuously increased, but also various dirty activities have been involved. Are you mentally prepared for this?" Gao Xian looked at George Hearst,

The implication is very obvious. You are from the fourth generation of wealth and have been pampered since childhood. Do you really have the courage to blaze a trail and create new situations?

George Hearst shrugged, "I think I still have a clear understanding of the situation on my side. Most of the family members are conservative and have doubts about entering a new field where the risks are difficult to control.

I can only seek resources from you. As for the dirty work, it is not difficult to find people to do it for me."

Gao Xian nodded, "In this way, I can arrange a bank loan for you for the acquisition of cable TV licenses, but you have to mortgage the acquired licenses to me."

George Hester touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "Sir Gao is really cautious!"

"This is the minimum standard for doing business, isn't it?" Without waiting for George Hearst's answer, Gao Xian turned to say: "Paramount can provide support for program content; as for the TV station's operation team, it depends on

You're on your own. You're the chairman of the board of directors of Hearst Corporation, so you can't even spare this little resource."

"Okay, it's settled." George Hester gave an excited high-five, "I'll start setting up a new company right now."

…

It is undeniable that this is a major benefit of the "marriage". When Gao Xian took advantage of the situation to accept Patricia, he anticipated the possibility of the Hearst Group expanding its media territory.

Officials everywhere have control over the media, but the form is slightly different. For example, in the United States, there is a qualification requirement. The owner must be an American, and the starting point of the Hearst family is much higher than these.

.

Gao Xian is still happy to participate in the operation of the American media industry in an unobtrusive and roundabout way.

After George Hester received a satisfactory answer and left in high spirits, Gao Xian picked up his work schedule, looked at it, and randomly picked an item to inspect the Gao Medical Research Institute in San Francisco.

It was a coincidence that Gao Xian met Steve Jobs here unexpectedly.

Nowadays, Steve Jobs is no longer the sloppy look of a non-mainstream young man in the past. He is wearing a well-tailored custom suit and flowing blond hair, and he still looks quite stylish.

Although Apple Computer Company at this stage is only a small player in Gao Xian's eyes, he has not personally touched it at all. He only introduced several investments from the Howard Hughes Foundation when Michael Markkula reorganized Apple Computer Company.

One hundred thousand US dollars was used as a start-up capital, but he still knew about certain things and people in Apple Computer Company.

For example, the reason why Jobs dressed up so sleekly was because Apple Computer was busy preparing to go public, and Jobs was being packaged as the public image of Apple Computer. Capital required that this non-mainstream young man must become a popular idol.

"Steve, you have so many things to do right now. Why are you here? Is there a health problem?" Gao Xian cared about this "little brother" with a hint of curiosity.

Jobs did not show off his personality and answered truthfully: "I heard that there are great achievements in DNA testing technology here, so I want to do a paternity test."

"That's it!" Gao Xian suddenly realized.

Jobs is now in a lot of trouble, caused by his illegitimate daughter Lisa.

In the United States in the 1970s, counterculture was prevalent among the younger generation. They were liberated, pursuing all kinds of excitement, all kinds of weird things, and a mess. The Oscar-winning film "Forrest Gump" mentioned this.

Characteristics of the era.

Against this backdrop, Steve Jobs and his girlfriend Brennan, who he had been dating since high school, got together several times. When the mood struck, the two had sex. As a result, Brennan got pregnant last year.

I thought about it, and finally insisted on giving birth to the child. This is Lisa.

However, Jobs believed that Lisa was not his kind, and the specific handling of the matter showed his immaturity. Anyway, he was rich now, so he sent out lawyers like wolves and tigers, and Brennan was helpless in the end.

Later, I moved my daughter to Menlo Park in the Silicon Valley area, living in a small and dilapidated house behind a family, and living on government relief funds.

This matter will not die down just because Brennan swallowed his anger. The local government investigated and found that Lisa's biological father was rich, how could he defraud taxpayers' money, so they took Jobs to court and asked him to pay back the money.

Naturally, the media watched this commotion with great interest. The commotion was so loud that it was no longer his private matter that Jobs had an illegitimate daughter. He had to give an explanation to the board of directors of Apple Computer Company to avoid damaging Apple, which was seeking to go public.

The public image of a computer company.

As a result, whether Lisa is Jobs's biological daughter requires an authoritative identification, and DNA technology, which is still a new thing, has become Jobs' most trusted option.

Gao Xian was not interested in Jobs's bad things, but he was keenly aware that with Jobs's rising fame, this was a rare advertising opportunity.

Therefore, Gao Xian immediately became enthusiastic and said, "Steve, don't worry, the paternity testing technology here is very mature and can definitely give you a result that can withstand various tests."

Jobs nodded weakly, "With Sir Roger's help, we will come up with a conclusion as soon as possible. I can't wait to solve this problem immediately. No matter what the outcome is, I'm really bored!"

"I believe that the board of directors of Apple Computer still believes in you." Gao Xian patted Jobs on the shoulder and reminded him sincerely: "Steve, you are young and rich now. You can ask for anything from a female companion, but you must

Be careful, the Gao Medical Research Institute has noticed that there is a virus that is specially transmitted through close contact, which can destroy the human body's immunity. The infected person will be extremely painful and will definitely die."

Jobs was agitated when he heard this and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Sir Gao, please don't scare me!"
