0236 The Influence of Billionaires
Lin Qingfang, who is not an actor, is a rare big star who became famous in one fell swoop.
In the five years from 1974 to 1979, she made about 50 films, especially in 1976, she participated in no less than 12 films in one year.
Naturally, most of these films are romantic films, regardless of their artistry, just in terms of box office, you can tell whether it is good or bad from the invitations sent out by the producers.
Such hard work not only made Lin Qingbian's film achievements reach the first of his two career peaks, that is, the classic screen girl image in the 1970s, but also made a lot of money, and now the whole family can come to the United States, which illustrates this economic change.
Therefore, the Lin family has a good life, and even with her sister Lin Libian, she is quite knowledgeable, when she sees the dazzling luxury goods in the suitcase, most of them can tell the calendar, and the rest even if they don't know each other, they can also have a comparison in their hearts, which is so surprising.
"This is for you, save the mouth of the train. Lin Qingbian slapped his sister who didn't stop her mouth, picked up a small gift box, and stuffed it into her hand.
"You have a conscience. Lin Libian, who was smiling, was not in a hurry to look at the gifts, and continued to probe her sister's secret.

As the saying goes, "sake is popular, wealth is moving", Apple Inc., which came out of the garage, only took four to five years from its establishment to its listing. As a result, 300 millionaires and 4 billionaires were created in one fell swoop, which is undoubtedly a perfect idol for those who want to work their own and achieve their dreams of wealth.
It's personal. Don't forget. Apple has also been favored by venture capital at one time. Those investors have made a lot of money accordingly.
Xerox used the conditions of visiting PARC in exchange for a $1 million investment in Apple, and received a return of $30 million, a 30-fold increase.
Arthur Locke, a well-known venture capitalist, initially invested $56,700 in Apple, and when Apple went public, his stock holdings soared to $14 million, an increase of nearly 250 times.
As for LF Rothschild, Untenberg, Towbin and BrentWood Associates, these investors. The payoff is also very impressive.
In stark contrast, Ronald Wayne was a partnership before Marcula joined Apple, and he and Steve Jobs and Woz were the original founders.
Because the audacious Steve Jobs took out a loan in the name of Apple, Ronald Wayne had a deep fear, looking at the current Jobs and Woz's not very calm, then go back to a few years ago, how unreliable the two of them were.
It is said that Ronald Wayne still had some money at the time, but once the partnership collapsed, he would also go bankrupt.
So Ronald Wayne thought about it. He made what he thought was the safest decision to withdraw from the shares, and Jobs happily agreed.
If Ronald Wayne can withstand the pressure. If you stick to it until now, it is estimated that you will be a billionaire, but there is no if, which has obviously become a regrettable negative teaching material.
The power of role models is endless, and the success of entrepreneurs and investors at Apple is self-evident in the shock of Silicon Valley, and the attraction of talent and capital is a matter of course.
Apple naturally wanted to celebrate its successful IPO, and Tang Huan also had fun with the people on his turf and began to give out red envelopes, but in a somewhat special way.
Because the second-generation Fangyuan computer has a built-in clock chip, it is easy to write a program of a random number generator to produce pseudo-random numbers, so Tang Huan asked his engineers to make an electronic red envelope game, which was installed on the second-generation Fangyuan computer and placed in the company's entertainment area for employees to test their luck.
The gameplay is very simple, with a total prize pool of $200,000, with the smallest red envelope of $10 and the largest red envelope of $100.
It is said that there are a few cute girls in the administrative department who are very lucky, and they have bought 100 US dollars in red envelopes, which has attracted many otaku engineers to yearn for it, but it has also made the atmosphere of the company more enthusiastic.
Tang Huan couldn't pay too much attention to how these people were happy, he asked all the projects for two days in a row, because for himself, Apple has no great use value except for the spare tire and the identity of an ally, and if you stick to the AppleII platform, it will be a tragedy, and it is time to fully exert your strength.
While Tang Huan was working hard at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, the sensational effect of the wealth myth created by Apple's listing continued to ferment.
Now, TheForbes 400, the Forbes 400 list of America's richest people, has not yet been released, but it is said that Jobs is already the youngest billionaire in the top 40.
However, some people doubt this, although it is true that the wealth on paper alone, Tang Huan still has two companies with super gold-absorbing ability, especially EA, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a daily gold-making company.
Moreover, after careful investigation, financial experts slowly discovered that the layout of the company under Tang Huan's name is relatively complex, which makes people wonder about the doorway for a while, because at least, there is a company that operates Fangyuan Computer, which has been ignored by everyone.
But to sum it up in one sentence, it is definitely true, Tang Huan is running an IT enterprise group with huge potential, and the maturity and sophistication of his methods are not comparable to that of sometimes unreliable guys like Jobs, and his personal worth is definitely more than $150 million.
As this idea spread, some interesting changes in various aspects began to take place.
For example, on the European side, the other side of the contract on the Soviet purchase order was unified into the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and even First Deputy Minister Yuri Leonidovich Brezhnev inspected the small office and conveyed the intention of further cooperation between the two sides to Tang Huan through Neli Kim.
In addition, Christina can't make trouble in England either. Because the "Sun", which was in the midst of a lawsuit, suddenly shrunk. Privately ask for an out-of-court settlement. It is said that it was Murdoch's instructions, and after the news king's first war in Sydney and his march into London, he has now moved to the United States, and his vision and height of seeing problems are obviously not imaginable by the subordinates of The Sun.
Originally, the whole of Britain has always been sitting on a small bench, eating melon seeds, and laughing while watching this farce. Those celebrities who have been hacked by The Sun are secretly cheering up Christina.
But the evaluation of the female ship king herself, as always, is not high, and it boils down to being ambitious, talented, rich and capricious.
But with the latest Wall Street news to London, people began to slowly silent, no matter how entangled the relationship between Christina and Tang Huan is, but the lover who chose is now a billionaire, which shows that the crazy move of the female ship king who spared no expense to give Tang Huan a private jet as a private jet is meaningful.
If two billionaires become a family. So what miracles will happen next, it's really exciting.
Christina called Tang Huan. "Did you just let the Sun go?"
"Your anger should have almost disappeared, so it might as well be over at this step. Tang Huan immediately gave a suggestion, and at the same time smiled bitterly in his heart, the vitality of "The Sun" is not ordinary tenacity, so let's accept it when it is good.
"Then listen to you. Cristina agreed, and at the same time said a little sullenly: "Things have been going well recently, but the acquisition of AC Milan has not been successful, which is not happy." ”
Listening to this complaint, Tang Huan couldn't help but sigh, Christina, the third largest shareholder of AC Milan, really has no sense of existence, the future football king Diego Maradona, has already been bought, and he was stunned that he was not brought into AC Milan, which played in the Italian second division, so he had to remain in the Argentine youth club.
"It's also a pleasure to put a long line to catch big fish, you better be calm, there will definitely be a chance for you to be a savior in the future." Tang Huan hurriedly comforted, "Your biggest task now is to take care of the child in your belly and complete the mission of the continuation of the family." ”
"I see. Christina thought of something amusement, and suddenly laughed, "My dear, I don't hate the little village where the treasure was found, because the treasure hunters are getting too noisy, and I am going to dispose of that dwelling, but someone has heard the news and started to sell me the castle." ”
"Who made you so lucky to get a treasure, the British are changing their ways to keep this wealth from your hands. Tang Huan laughed, "If you have a fancy to buy it, not counting those ancient Roman gold coins that are regarded as cultural relics, those remaining gold and silver artifacts are also a trouble to deal with, if they can be exchanged for real estate, it is also a good choice." At that time, the children will have a castle as an amusement park. ”
Christina was coaxed by Tang Huan to eat and laugh, and asked coquettishly: "Honey, when are you coming to Europe?" ”
Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "It should be soon, the computer I specially developed for Stephen Hawking is basically completed, and I will personally send it over." ”
After getting Tang Huan's assurance, Christina reluctantly put down the phone.
……
With the popularity of the outside world, the media asking for interviews has also increased, Tang Huan is overwhelmed and plans to leave for Xiangjiang to hide, and there are many things to deal with there.
Seeing that the traditional Chinese festival is coming, Tang Huan asked the people below to prepare a large-scale celebration party very early to boost the morale of the employees in Greater China.
Lin Qingbian has been reluctant to come out to meet recently, but when she was talking on the phone, Tang Huan understood that she needed an adaptation time for identity change, so she thoughtfully did not force her, and after telling her itinerary, she took the plane.
When he arrived in Xiangjiang and returned to the villa in Kowloon Tong to take a break from jet lag, he happened to see Guan Zhilin trying on the newly bought clothes.
"Brother Huan, the South China Morning Post said that there is a new billionaire named Tang Huan in the United States, it must be you. Seeing that Tang Huan was back, Guan Zhilin, who was overjoyed, pounced on him.
"What's the matter, it's not that I can't make you obedient? I've arranged for you to go to school in the United States, why haven't I seen your movement for a long time. Tang Huan asked unhappily.
"Brother Huan, you can't complain about others. My dad had already agreed with Leigh's TV. I can only wait for the contract. There are also many aunts who persuaded me to sign up for the Miss Hong Kong contest next year. I'm at a loss. Guan Zhilin shook Tang Huan's arm and explained again and again.
Hearing these messy reasons, Tang Huan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, Guan Zhilin's parents Guan Shan and Zhang Bingqian used to be famous movie stars in Xiangjiang, and naturally made many friends in the circle, such as the famous "long-legged sister" Ye Feng, who is Guan Zhilin's godmother. As for Wu Siyuan and his wife, the relationship is not to mention.
These old fritters in the entertainment industry basically don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, Tang Huan doesn't want Guan Zhilin to be too contaminated with the habits of these people, which is one of the reasons why he plans to send the other party to the United States for further study.
But the immediate result is still an entangled situation.
Tang Huan thought about it, after all, Guan Zhilin was only 18 years old, and even if her thinking was mature, there was a limit, and it was really not good for him to reprimand too much.
After a snort. Tang Huan sat on the sofa and looked Guan Zhilin up and down. I haven't seen him for a while, but the other party's dress has obviously matured a lot, and he couldn't help but say, "No wonder Cai Jiguang didn't let you play the heroine of "Applause", this also matured too quickly." ”
In the original time and space, Guan Zhilin's first movie was "Goodbye Jianghu" filmed in 1982, Zhou Yanfa, who played the leading role, played a killer, and the heroine reporter Ke Peilin was Guan Zhilin, and the dress of urban white-collar workers was very eye-catching. Now, Guan Zhilin is almost this image.
"That's not what you're taught. In front of Tang Huan, Guan Zhilin has always been unashamed, and after flying a flattering eye, she took the man's big hand and put it on her chest, "I just shot an advertisement with this image, and others said it was good, or I would take Sister Hu's class and be your secretary, it's very worthwhile." ”
"What's the use of just having an image, Hu Yinmeng is also educated in college, and the difference in ability, so what makes up for it. Tang Huan couldn't help but be a little amused.
"People can make up for it in this way. Guan Zhilin smiled and stretched out her little hand to untie Tang Huan's belt.
Looking at Guan Zhilin's OL image, Tang Huan couldn't help but be intrigued by her, picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table, and picked up the other party's stockings in an exclamation.
"Brother Huan, I'm going to be scared to death by you. Guan Zhilin glanced at Tang Huan charmingly.
"Who made you disobedient, can my arrangement still hurt you, if you don't open the house for three days, you must be educated. Tang Huan strained his face, pressed Guan Zhilin on the sofa, and slapped his hips high.
With a low cry of pain, a touch of pink loomed in the writhing, Tang Huan saw that his heart was angry, and the punishment tool changed from a slap to a club, and the effect was really good, Guan Zhilin hummed intermittently, almost dying.
……
Zhao Yazhi, who has become more and more famous recently, not only has her popularity not decreased, but her star halo has become more and more dazzling.
She filmed a costume martial arts movie "Heroes Without Tears" based on Gu Long's original novel of the same name last year, which has received a good response since it was released at the end of July.
The Gulong movie produced by Shaw Brothers, directed by Chu Yuan, starring Er Dongsheng, Fu Sheng, Zhao Yazhi, Bai Biao, Gu Feng, and Yue Hua, is indeed quite eye-catching.
And the butterfly dance played by Zhao Yazhi was specially arranged to dance in the movie, and with Zhen Ni's singing, it can also meet the appreciation level of some audiences.
However, everything in the world cannot always go as expected, perfect, and Zhao Yazhi encountered troubles.
Because of Zhao's mother's temporary intention, she changed her grandson, who was about to go to kindergarten, to the surname Zhao, but was discovered by Zhao Yazhi's ex-husband and immediately caused trouble.
"Don't your Zhao family deceive people too much, thinking that if you find a big backer, you can ignore my feelings?" Huang Hanwei glared at Zhao's mother angrily.
When the other party came up, Zhao Yazhi hugged her son, was pushed into the bedroom by her family, and hid, but she was kind, and she felt that things were not in accordance with the rules on her side.
Therefore, after hearing Huang Hanwei's questioning, Zhao Yazhi felt quite guilty in his heart.
"Now Ah Zhi is getting more and more popular, if I poke this matter out, think about it for yourself, what will be the consequences?" Huang Hanwei continued to threaten.
"You said so much, it's just to put pressure on Ah Zhi, anyway, you've always done this, for your own goals, you also use the tricks of the mall to your wife, never taking into account the feelings of husband and wife. Since Zhao's mother made her decision, she has been mentally prepared, so now she just looks at Huang Hanwei calmly, "Tell your purpose and see if we can satisfy your appetite." ”
"You said it yourself, I didn't persecute you. Huang Hanwei smiled proudly, "Aren't you rich, if you are rich, you are great, then use the money to talk." ”
"Don't forget, you are also a rich man, you spend a lot of money, not a little, there is no need to say that you are so sad. Mother Zhao said lightly, "Since the matter can be solved, how much money are you going to want?"
"Ten million. Didn't the South China Morning Post say that he was already worth more than 100 million US dollars, so he shouldn't mind this little money. Huang Hanwei said viciously, "As long as you agree, don't want that cheap son, I'll go to a woman to give birth, haha......" (To be continued......)
