Obviously, compared with the international marathon with public participation and the carnival of all people, tennis with a fairly high degree of professionalism is more suitable for star-making.

Steffi Graf, who just turned 16 this year, is another masterpiece that Tang Huan never tires of.

She became the youngest Grand Slam winner in history to win the French Open at the age of 16 at the end of May and early June this year.

After his 16th birthday, Steffi Graf went on to compete at the Wimbledon Championships in England from the end of June to the beginning of July.

This time she was not left out of the seeding list, coming out of Group 7 without any suspense, and as she did at the French Open, which was just a short time ago, she competed for the title with Martina Navratilova.

After dropping the first set at 4-6, Stefi Graf won two sets in a row 6-3 and 6-2 to defeat Martina Navratilova's arch-rival to reach the top of the Grand Slam for the second time in a row.

While the term "German tank" may seem inappropriate to describe a 16-year-old girl, journalists have been shocked to find a more appropriate adjective.

You know, it is a great honor to win a tennis Grand Slam, let alone two in a row. Especially the warrior who wanted to overthrow Martina Navratilova's ruling dynasty was so young.

The German, who was intoxicated by this brilliant result, began to say incoherently: our talented girl is only one step away from the world number one, and maybe she can create the miracle of the annual Grand Slam.

People who can't stand this kind of arrogance naturally want to ridicule each other: typical nouveau riche, as soon as they are proud, they will be rampant. Not all tennis players are perfectly adapted to clay, grass and hard courts, and it's too early to tell, and you don't know if your talented girl will be able to make it through the hard court of the US Open.

The Wimbledon Championships in England are over in early July, with a relatively long time to go before the US Open tennis tournament in late August and early September.

Take advantage of this gap. Steffi Graf completed three commercials – for Adidas, a German sporting goods manufacturer, EA, the world's largest provider of video game entertainment content, and the richest man's "One Child, One Computer" project.

On August 27, the nearly two-week U.S. Open tennis tournament began. Tang Huan was so busy that he went to the East Coast of the United States to watch the game once, but the young Steffi Graf was very focused. Unaffected by anything, the performance was stable and easily eliminated from the 5th group.

Just as reporters from all walks of life were polishing their eyes to see who would win the championship trophy in the end, the US Open was an upset, with last year's champion Martina Navratilova and runner-up Chris Evert failing to reach the final, and the final contestant for the title with Steffi Graf was Czech women's tennis player Hana Mandlikova.

Strictly speaking, it is not accurate to say that this result is unpopular. Geinhana Mandlikova is not a newcomer, and she has had her share of moments.

She was a Grand Slam winner at the 1980 Australian Open and the 1981 French Open, and was between 1980 and 1981. He reached the finals of the four Grand Slams in succession, including the 1980 US Open, the 1980 Australian Open, the 1981 French Open, and the 1981 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in the United Kingdom.

Therefore, Steffi Graf's opponent is not really weak, otherwise they would not have been able to make it to the finals.

And judging from Hana Mandlikova's performance at this US Open, it is clear that she has won the recovery period of her athletic career, and her strength is quite eye-catching.

The same was true of the match, with Steffi Graf defeating his opponent in the end. But it was a tough win, and Hana Mandlikova was swept to the second set 6-1 cleanly. And the first set and the deciding set she won, the score was a very exciting 7:6.

After Steffi Graf won three Grand Slam titles in succession, including the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, and the same excellent performances on other tours, the qualifying points grew rapidly, and then she sat on the top of the women's tennis world rankings, becoming the youngest queen of 16 years and 3 months.

The media has been silent about it. Not knowing how to describe the 16-year-old tennis prodigy for a moment gave sane analysts a chance to speak out, and his statement that "Steffy Graf's calm victory in the face of adversity in the US Open final was the rookie's biggest highlight." With this quality, she can go far at all. and build a women's tennis dynasty of her own like Martina Navratilova".

As far as tennis singles is concerned, the average tennis player's career is about fifteen years, and if you include injuries and even off-court factors, this time may be even shorter.

According to this standard, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert, who ruled an era of tennis, it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian, this is an objective law of sports, and no one can change it.

Compared to the king sitting on the throne and aging quietly and being defeated by time, people obviously prefer to watch the current fierce scene of being directly overturned by the challenger.

Therefore, no one doubts the strength of Steffi Graf, the popularity of the world is soaring, and the officials of the WTA will wake up laughing when they sleep, and the advertising effect of Adidas and EA is naturally needless to say.

In this case, Steffi Graf naturally became the brightest star among all the players arriving in Hong Kong, and the occasional shyness of the little girl in front of the camera fascinated the audience.

Similar to the Xiangjiang International Marathon, every time it is held, it can form a wave of consumer economy, and the same is true for the Xiangjiang Tennis Open.

All of a sudden, tennis equipment and clothing were selling high, tennis stadiums and tennis coaches were in short supply, and I don't know how many people were reciting Amitabha Buddha in their hearts. Thanks to Tang Huan for the good prosperity they have brought them.

After receiving the players who came to participate in the competition and instructing the relevant hotels to do a good job of reception, Tang Huan ignored the specific operation of the Xiangjiang Tennis Open, but entertained the officials of the two major sports organizations, the men's professional tennis federation - ATP and the World Women's Professional Tennis Association - WTA, and discussed the naming rights of their companies by the way.

The people of Hong Kong welcomed the Xiangjiang Open with warm and open arms, but it did not mean that they loved all matters related to Tang Huan. For example, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, which is under construction.

Seeing the business opportunities of the power supply gap in the Hong Kong River and the indispensable power supply capacity for the future economic development of the Pearl River Delta region, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant project was planned early on, and in 1983, the site was determined to be located in Lingao Village, on the shore of Daya Bay.

At that time, as one of the three collaborators, Tang Huan also personally inquired about this matter.

Heung Kong has two electricity suppliers – Heung Kong Electric and CLP. The former is supplied to Hong Kong Island, Ap Lei Chau and Lamma Island, while the latter includes Kowloon and the New Territories, and has been connected to the Southern Guangdong Province since 1979 through a 132 kV transmission network.

As one of the victories of the battle between Qinhe and Jardine. Tang Huan also attaches great importance to the development of Heung Kong Electric Lighting.

There is a gap in the power supply of Xiangjiang, and it seems that the business opportunities are good, but in a small place like Xiangjiang, the power plant is facing increasing pressure on environmental protection, and Xiangjiang Electric Light must develop the field of new energy.

In addition, even if the market of Xiangjiang is served comfortably, it does not mean that the wealth is rolling, and the land of the projectile is the land of the projectile. The degree of market saturation can be calculated completely easily. Moreover, as a public service company, Heung Kong Electric is subject to a profit control agreement formulated by the Hong Kong government.

Driven by the instinct to grow and grow. In order to chase greater profit margins, Xiangjiang Electric must go out.

In this regard, the Kadoorie family's CLP Power has done quite well, actively connecting with the mainland and seizing this market, while Heung Kong Electric has lagged behind.

So, after eating dry and wiping it clean. Tang Huan encircled his British and let the Heung Kong Electric Light try to extend its tentacles to Canada and Australia, and at the same time quickly connect with the mainland, and the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant is one of the results.

According to the plan, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant will be the first nuclear power plant in China to be built using foreign technology and funds. It introduced French nuclear island technology and equipment and British conventional island technology and equipment for construction and management, and the three parties involved in the construction and management of a joint operating company, of which Heung Kong Electric held 12.5 percent of the shares, and China Power held 20 percent of the shares.

The power output from the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station is transmitted to Hong Kong Island in the Heung Kong Electric Lighting Area via CLP Power's lines in the New Territories and Kowloon.

It can be said that this is a cooperation that kills one stone and benefits all parties.

However, the voices of the people of Xiangjiang on this can be said to be higher and higher, which is a bit overwhelming.

For this reason, Michael Kadoorie, chairman of the board of directors of CLP Power, came to discuss countermeasures, despite the fact that Tang Huan was holding the first Hong Kong Open tennis tournament.

Tang Huanxin said, what trick can I have? And I have the least shares, so there is no need to rush to the front. After all, this is the psychology of people, slowly grinding.

This is just like the mobile communication era when the people's awareness was raised in the original time and space, the citizens of the community complained that the mobile phone signal in the area was not good, so the communication company decided to build a communication station to solve this problem; but the citizens were worried that the radiation of the communication station would affect their health too much, and even if the communication company found various professional certificates to show that the equipment was harmless, they could not win the trust of the other party; as a result, the two sides insisted, and the citizens of the community continued to complain that the mobile phone signal in the area was not good, and the communication company waited for the day when the other party relented and agreed to build a communication station.

In Tang Huan's view, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, which has been unable to start construction for a long time, is now in this dilemma, and the two sides will inevitably have to play a game, which is also the populism with Xiangjiang characteristics that Britain has cultivated in the post-colonial era.

Opponents of the Daya Bay nuclear power plant are mainly based on a partial core meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Susquehana, Pennsylvania, United States, on March 28, 1979.

The incident was rated as Level 5 or Level 3 hazard in the International Nuclear Event Classification and the worst accident in the history of nuclear power in the United States.

From the experience of time and space, except for the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident caused by the earthquake and tsunami, the main cause of most nuclear power plant accidents is related to the operation error of the operator, so the training of nuclear power plant operators, the ability to deal with emergencies, the humanized design of the control system and other details have an important impact on the safe operation of nuclear power plants.

The Three Mile Island nuclear accident fell into this category, and the operators did not pay attention to the alarm, and then did not notice the damage to the core and the leakage of radioactive materials more than a dozen hours after the accident.

Adding fuel to the storm was the fact that the Three Mile Island nuclear accident happened to occur 12 days after the release of "China Syndrome," a thriller film about the safety of nuclear power plants.

The quirky title does not indicate that the film has anything to do with China, but is derived from the concept of "China Syndrome" proposed by Ralph Rapp, an American physicist who participated in the Manhattan Project, in 1971, to the effect that if an irretrievable core melt occurs at a nuclear power plant in the United States, the hot melt of nuclear fuel will melt everything and penetrate the earth's crust, mantle and core, and reach China "below" the United States on Earth.

The film, starring Jane Fonda, tells the story of a female journalist and her photographer who accidentally discover an emergency accident at a nuclear power plant that is close to a "core meltdown", and intent to make the safety problems known to the world, but are left behind by many power plant personnel who want to cover up the truth, and even threaten their lives, killing the senior engineer who told the truth.

The work was nominated for several Academy Awards that year, including Best Actor and Actress, Best Original Screenplay and Best Art Direction, and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 32nd Cannes Film Festival, and won the Best Actor Award at the festival by Jack Lemmon.

With such an influential film to help promote the accident, it is difficult to imagine that the Three Mile Island nuclear accident is not famous, and the American public's confidence in nuclear power has been greatly affected, and the fear of nuclear power has been deepened on the Xiangjiang side.

Michael Kadoorie wears out his lips, hoping to move Tang Huan to come forward and use his influence as an endorsement to alleviate Xiangjiang's nuclear fears and promote the progress of the construction of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. After all, CLP Power has put a lot of effort into this project.

Tang Huan thought about it for a long time and then said: "I like to do it, I don't like to say it, so let's spend 100 million US dollars to buy peace of mind for everyone, and use this fund to buy some nuclear disaster protection equipment, so as not to panic." ”

Michael Kadoorie's eyes straightened and he said, "Aren't you burning a lot of money!" )
