Chapter 0260: Routine inspection before the end of the year
In fact, only a few people who came to Xiangjiang from the mainland could get ahead, and most of them made flower fertilizer to create the brilliant glory of Xiangjiang.
Since she met Liu Jialing inexplicably this time, Tang Huan gave a boost easily, anyway, she was in TVB in the original time and space, and she started and developed under pressure, and DreamWorks also lacks artists like Leslie Cheung and Wan Ziliang who have been proven to have a bright future.
What Tang Huan really cares about is that software, an intangible intellectual product, if it is not sold in the case of system integration, but sold alone, it seems to be really difficult for consumers to accept, otherwise, when the police deal with this dispute, they will not be pestered by the other party.
Obviously, games are also software, just because there is a different medium like a cassette, people can pay willingly, and the value of floppy disks makes people doubt, which is a wonderful phenomenon.
It seems that software packaging needs to be strengthened, not to make a big cardboard box, it is difficult to fill the empty hearts of consumers, and this measure is applicable all over the world.
When I returned to the office of Zheru Xiangjiang Company, I happened to see Zhou Weikun who had returned from a business trip to the mainland, so Tang Huan sat down with the other party and learned about the situation over there.
Zhou Weikun is quite a humble gentleman in the Chinese tradition, so he started to do things on the mainland, just as Tang Huan expected, to advance and retreat.
Feng Xingjun, who entered Zheru Xiangjiang Company at the same time as Zhou Weikun, was a lot more imaginative, and with more than a year of performance, he entered the ranks of senior executives in the marketing department. But this guy likes to be active in the front line of the market. In his words, it is. Enjoy the sense of accomplishment of holding a large number of orders in your hands, which is really difficult to control.
"The mainland is really vast, shuttling from south to north in the three major cities of Yangcheng, Shanghai and Yanjing, and the climate change is called an obvious one. Looking at the map hanging on the wall of the office, Zhou Weikun smiled with emotion, his nasal voice was slightly heavier, and he had a little cold symptoms.
The $20 million that Tang Huan invested in Zhongguancun was implemented from top to bottom. With the enthusiastic support of the local and nearby universities, the ground was broken in the spring of 1981.
With this aura, Zhou Weikun did not need to rely on Tang Huan's additional resources, and the work was carried out very smoothly.
With the help of the product centers in Yangcheng, Hucheng and Yanjing, Zhou Weikun recruited a large number of students who failed the college entrance examination and sent them to the industrial park of the Special Economic Zone for training.
In recent years, from the mainland to the Special Economic Zone, the cumbersome procedures are not something that ordinary people can imagine, but fortunately, these problems are not too much trouble for Tang Huan.
"The mainland is very eager to demand development. We are also diligent in our work, like the infrastructure of our industrial park. A week is a new look, but soft factors such as high-quality human resources still need to be improved. Zhou Weikun couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he talked about this situation.
"Be content, the college students themselves are not enough, we have all kinds of preferential policies are enough. Tang Huan laughed.
"Now, the industrial park in the Special Economic Zone has begun to run the production line of data backup tape drives and tapes, which part of Fangyuan computer should be next?" Zhou Weikun, who had fully understood Tang Huan's strategy for the mainland - "from top to bottom, win trust first, from easy to difficult, and gradually develop", asked about the next plan.
In view of the special situation of the mainland and the specific roadmap, only Tang Huan, and perhaps that Zhou Mi, know in their hearts that Zhou Weikun still has a lot to learn.
"To find a link with moderate production difficulty and a wide enough range of applications, it was preliminarily determined to be a 16-needle dot matrix printer. Tang Huan gave Zhou Weikun a look, "Printers and tape drives are almost all relatively independent and standardized products, and they don't have to be like monitors and hosts, which are still only in their own exclusive range, and they need to consider the problem of pairing one by one. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Weikun nodded again and again, admiring this boss's ability to take care of all aspects.
"It's another year, and it is inevitable that the group will compare their respective profitability, and the position of Heung Kong Company is relatively special, so you don't care about the final ranking. In my heart, I know that you have worked hard. When Zhou Weikun said goodbye, Tang Huan gave his subordinates a preventive shot.
Zhou Weikun nodded, "I understand that the mission of Heung Kong Company is the future of the company. ”
The subordinates carefully selected by himself are really easy to use, and they live up to the reputation of the original time and space, Tang Huan is very pleased.
Tang was about to leave for Singapore, and Wang Jing hurriedly came over, "Mr. Tang, why did TVB ask me to shoot a sequel to "The King of a Thousand Kings", Miss Fang said that you agreed to authorize, but I finally got Miss Hu to agree to the film shooting plan of "The Legend of the Sparrow Heroes". ”
It can be said that Hu Yinmeng, who is in charge of DreamWorks, is not as good at talking as Fang Yihua, but the level set by it is not funding, she does not have Fang Yihua's ability to make careful calculations, but the pure quality of the script.
Wang Jing, who is not the king of bad movies at this time, although he has suffered a lot, he understands that this is not an opportunity to keep improving, and he is convinced, even if he is swept away by a beautiful woman, he is willing to be satisfied.
Now that he has finally been approved for the project, he can make his first movie, but he has to be pulled by Fang Yihua to shoot a TV series under the mechanism of TVB, Wang Jing, who is used to the environment of DreamWorks, is unwilling.
For these little things, Tang Huan was interested in asking, and after hearing the situation, he shook his head helplessly, "Who made you shoot "The King of a Thousand Kings" so wonderfully, Fang Yihua is even more enthusiastic about making a sequel, "Shang_ Beach" finally prevaricated with the price of adapting the movie, and now "The King of a Thousand Kings" can no longer hide. It's up to you to decide who comes first and who comes after the movies and TV series, and how to arrange them. Anyway, I promised you a movie. Yellow can't. Otherwise. Please ask your dad to help shoot the TV series. ”
"The old man is not young anymore, how can I always rely on him," Wang Jing, who is quite filial, shook his head, "And there is no script yet, but the actors are ready, in addition to the team of "The King of a Thousand Kings", there is also Zhou Runfa, the lineup is very strong. I just don't know how much money will be paid for filming. ”
"Don't worry, I'll help you come up with an idea. Looking at Wang Jing's sad face, Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "The sequel is called "A Thousand Kings Heroes", the story location was moved from Guangzhou to Shanghai, so that Zhou Yanfa's position in the play replaced Ren Dahua in the front, Xie Xian and Wang Mingquan are still rival emotional dramas......"
Wang Jing quickly took out a small notebook, listened to it and memorized it at the same time, and was so happy that he almost dripped it onto the notebook. Although he is conceited about his talents. But Tang Huan and Hu Yinmeng are masters of making up "Shang_Beach".
Seeing that there are ready-made cheap ones to pick up, can you not be happy?
"Let's be tragic this time. The male protagonists Zhou Yunfa and Xie Xian all died in the end, which not only hinted at the fate of the gambler, but also saved Fang Yihua from looking for you to make a sequel. Tang Huan finally added.
Wang Jingshen nodded approvingly, "That's it, I can't think about TVB anymore......"
……
"Gillian's due date is next month, don't make yourself so busy, make time to spend with you. "During the meal, my aunt Tang Yun reminded me.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, and one of them is quite annoying. Tang Huan glanced apologetically at Lin Fengjiao, who had an obvious bulge in his abdomen and was unable to move, "I just got the exact news, the new President of the United States Ronald Reagan will be inaugurated next month, and I am on the list of invited guests to watch the ceremony, and I dare not guarantee that I will be able to catch up with the birth of the child." ”
Robert Bartley, who has been increasingly connected to Tang Huan, as Reagan's economic policy thinker, has been following the development of EA America recently.
The editor-in-chief of the editorial section of the Wall Street Journal was deeply shocked by EA's performance, especially in the face of lawsuits, EA America can still dominate the Christmas sales season, which makes him even more sparing no effort to recommend Tang Huan to Reagan.
Clearly, Robert Bartley has accepted Tang's view that in the next few years, the personal computer will be another emerging industry that can drive economic growth.
At present, Tang Huan doesn't have to deliberately brush his face, but it is not easy to refuse the big-name invitation sent to the door.
Lin Fengjiao was as empathetic as ever, "It's okay, I have my aunt to take care of, it's okay." ”
"Or you understand me. Tang Huan couldn't help but praise Lin Fengjiao, but the other party's next words made him a little embarrassed.
"When Li Jun gave birth this year, weren't you also there. Lin Fengjiao said softly.
"Gillian, don't pay attention to this little bastard's nonsense, in my eyes, you are an authentic daughter-in-law, give birth to twins with peace of mind, and my Tang industry is waiting for a successor." Tang Yun added fuel to the fire and cheered Lin Fengjiao up.
That's right, Lin Fengjiao's stomach is another pair, Tang Huan has become numb to this vision, and can only reluctantly attribute it to the fact that he, a traveler, is an alien with two souls and multiple souls.
In fact, whenever he was puzzled by the wonders of the world, what Tang Huan wanted to do most was to discuss the profundity of the universe with Stephen Hawking. Unfortunately, this wish is not easy.
Anyway, the current relationship is so complicated, and it is already on the surface, Tang Huan naturally has no need to pretend to be a saint, so he expressed his attitude lightly, "I am most relieved to have Jiaojiao do my filial piety in front of my aunt's knees." ”
"Don't think too much about it, as long as you're good to me, that's enough. Lin Fengjiao smiled.
"Only you women think too much. Tang Huan snorted and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I'm full, go to the company to have a look." ”
Looking at Tang Huan's back, Lin Fengjiao asked worriedly, "Auntie, Ah Huan seems to be angry." ”
"Not really. Tang Yun comforted gently, "Seeing that the child is about to be born, your status can't be ambiguous, even if he gets angry, it doesn't matter, it's all the fault of this little bastard anyway, I'll call the shots for you, don't worry, the most important thing is to wait for childbirth with peace of mind at present." ”
……
Tang Huan is most concerned about the development process of RISC architecture CPU, and after experiencing the last setback, the project has gone a lot smoother. In a few months, we should be able to produce actual samples. It can be described as god speed.
But that's just the beginning. It's even more important to build a compact and efficient compiler.
After communicating with each member, Tang Huan, accompanied by Huang Gencheng, inspected the factory.
"The second-generation Fangyuan computer is good, but the price is too much higher than the first-generation Fangyuan computer, and it is estimated that only Americans will be able to consume it. Huang Gancheng quipped.
"Believe me, the entire industrial chain is still being optimized, and there will definitely be room for price reduction. Tang Huan comforted the other party with confidence. "At present, in addition to the motherboard, components such as memory modules, graphics cards, and sound cards can be delegated to a third party, and the cost will be quickly amortized, and a new industry group will emerge around us. ”
"Now there is basically no problem with the quality and stability of the product, and the benefits will be more obvious when the production is carried out at full capacity. Tang Huan looked through the quality control documents again and summarized briefly, "The feedback from Baodao is also good. In January of next year. I can officially start working in the U.S. market. ”
"I can see it, brother, you simply think of this place in Asia as a big rear and back garden. Huang Gancheng laughed.
"Isn't everyone staring at the U.S. market right now? Tang Huan no longer hides his layout.
Singapore is the same as Treasure Island. are actively seeking industrial transformation, and now they have been tied to a high-tech chariot by Tang Huan, and the only thing they can do is to continue to support it.
"Anyway, the better you develop, the more I will be stained. Huang Gancheng also expressed his selfishness, "By the way, the news of your visit to Singapore has been officially known, and it is estimated that you will be invited to the official residence to share the festival dinner soon." ”
"There won't be any other purpose. Tang Huan naturally doesn't mind this kind of high-level contact, but the necessary vigilance is still needed.
"It's mainly a fab thing, although it's been finalized, but the top management wants to hear your thoughts again. Huang Gancheng poured out his own information.
"Thank you, brother, I know it in my heart. Tang Huan nodded.
……
Although initially hostile to each other, relations improved from the 1970s onwards, with its founding prime minister visiting the mainland for the first time in May 1976 and chief Tang visiting Singapore in 1978, and the two became on good terms. At the same time, the relationship between Singapore and Treasure Island has become even closer.
In short, Singapore, which is only more than half the area of Hong Kong, will not formally establish diplomatic relations with China until 1990, becoming one of the latest Asian countries, but it has maintained close exchanges at the top level, and the situation can be called delicate and tacit.
Tang Huan has met the founding prime minister for the first time, but every time his identity changes, and now he has become a billionaire in the United States.
"With such a huge investment in the fab, can we build the world's most advanced in one go, so as to avoid the waste of resources caused by too rapid technology upgrades? The other party first raised this question.
Tang Huan pondered slightly, "Using wafers to produce chips is like carving flowers on turnips, and the ultimate goal is to get as many products as possible per unit area." Obviously, the thicker the radish and the thinner the carving knife, the better, but the improvement of the radish variety is too limited by nature, and it can only be successful once every ten years, while the carving knife is easier to improve, and it can be upgraded every two or three years. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled, "So, let's find a balance, there is no need to pursue perfection excessively, that would be a waste." ”
"What a wonderful analogy you said. The other laughed heartily.
"100mm wafer size, 3 micron manufacturing process, this is the current mainstream level, if Singapore wants to be ahead of the industry, it can spend some energy on the manufacturing process, 1.5 microns and 1 micron, is the goal of the next two generations. Tang Huan added in detail, "On the premise of ensuring quality, I can give priority to purchasing semiconductors from Singapore." ”
"You have a heart. The other nodded appreciatively and turned to a light-hearted conversation.
The founding prime minister is a practical elitist and tends to be agnostic, and Tang Huan, as a time-traveler, seems to have only agnosticism worth trying to believe, which makes the two able to talk happily every time they meet.
It is rumored that Tang Huan can mix in Singapore and can enter and exit the highest official residence at will, which is how he has accumulated step by step.
……
After taking a short rest at his residence, Tang Huan first called Deng Lijun and said in Cantonese: "Miss Deng, I just bought a TV station in Xiangjiang, and there will be a celebration party before the Lunar New Year. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't do a lot of commercial gigs lately, and the year-end schedule is full. There was a light laugh from the microphone.
I have to say that Deng Lijun, who has returned to the music scene, is no longer enough to describe the strong recovery of her career.
After the concert at the Xiangjiangli Stage and a trip back to the United States, Deng Lijun attended the Golden Horse Awards ceremony last month.
Dressed in a white off-the-shoulder dress, she took the stage to sing "Spring Breeze in a Small Town" and "Say Love If You Like It", which amazed the audience and is still talked about by the media.
The charm of superstars in this era is much purer, and it is not difficult to understand that Baodao is so nervous about her, fearing that she will be co-opted by the mainland. (To be continued......)
