Chapter 0500: Just Look at Me as the Runner-up

Originally, Guan Zhilin wanted to join in the excitement with Miss Xiangjiang in the finals, but Tang Huan said "concentrate on playing your thirteenth aunt well", and sent this delicate girl away.

Tang Huan was in a well-thought-out car, and the other party had just returned from Siam, so he happened to exchange information about the situation over there.

In order to make the adventurous uncle Han Anyuan have no worries, Tang Huan must build a smooth supply line for him in Siam.

"I have actually learned that Siam is even willing to provide free assistance for the sake of ammunition and medical supplies, not to mention that we have spent money to buy them, so there is no problem." Carefully comforted Tang Huan, who had hidden worries on his face, "Of course, there are no small problems, it is the rainy season over there, and the diet is a little inconvenient and unaccustomed." ”

"Then let's build some convenience food production plants." Tang Huan nodded, and then sighed, "Annan has been fighting for decades, and his military quality is not a joke, with the help of the Funan puppet regime, the current ratio of forces between the enemy and us is more than three to one, which is really a hard bone." ”

"I think An Yuan's analysis is still very reasonable." Zhou Mi groaned and said: "The two external factors of the Western grain ban and the fall in international oil prices alone are enough to severely damage the national strength of the Soviet Union, which is bound to make its internal strife continuous, and it is impossible for Annan, who is suffering from the enemy on his back, to receive military assistance all the time, and in just three years, we can drag on to this extremely ambitious opponent, and the national economic system is facing collapse and cannot survive." ”

"That's just a macro-level analysis, and it doesn't offset the dangers at the micro-level." Tang Huan shook his head. Then he changed the conversation and said, "It's just right for you to come back to the town." Qinhe's business is so complicated. It is necessary to guard against possible major shocks in the economic situation in the second half of the year. You must know that Jianing, a big liar, can't escape the fate of imminent liquidation. Billions of dollars of investment evaporated in an instant, and the uncertain capital market was destined to make waves. ”

……

The two chatted all the way, and soon the car arrived at the Lee Stage at 99 Percival Street in Causeway Bay. After Zhou Mi let go of Tang Huan, he left directly.

Although the Heung Kong Stadium in Hung Hom, Kowloon has been officially put into use at the end of April this year, the final scene of the Miss Heung Kong contest at this stage is still held at the Lee Stage, which is under the name of the Lee family, an important shareholder of TVB.

Deng Lijun has held concerts here several times, and Zheru Xiangjiang Company and Media Asia TV have also held celebrations here. Therefore, Tang Huan is already very familiar with this historical cultural performance venue, and he is familiar with it.

"Look, that's Mr. Tang, I didn't expect him to be the first celebrity to arrive." The reporters who were talking about it gathered around in a hurry.

"Tang Sheng, why did you come so early?" The reporter, who felt that he had found big news, couldn't wait to ask.

"Why couldn't I have come earlier?" Tang Huan asked rhetorically with a smile.

"You stupid, it's just a waste of the opportunity given by Mr. Tang." A reporter squeezed away his colleague who had the opportunity to ask questions first, and hurriedly asked, "Tang Sheng, why are you here so early?" Does it mean supporting a certain candidate for beauty? ”

"You just don't think it's big enough, I haven't even figured out how many beauties are running. What about support. Tang Huan patiently explained: "Don't guess, I'm still young, it's normal to come a little earlier than others." ”

"You're also a fool, the entire DreamWorks belongs to Mr. Tang, are you guilty of asking such a non-technical question, let me come quickly." The third reporter angrily slammed into his uncompetitive peers, "Tang Sheng, you came to support Miss Xiangjiang's election for the finals, does it mean that TVB and ATV, which had fought in the previous ratings war, have turned hostility into friendship?" ”

"Now there are only two TV stations in Xiangjiang, and it is common for competition to occur, so we can promote each other and let everyone see better program content."

Tang Huan motioned to the assistant beside him to push away these self-righteous reporters, so that he could continue to move forward.

"Tang Sheng, hello, I'm Zha Xiaoxin, an entertainment news reporter from Ming Pao." A woman suddenly appeared at the door, and after introducing herself eloquently, she threw out a question at a very fast speed, "I heard that Tang Sheng is personally participating in a movie, can you disclose the news in advance?" ”

"Sorry, the details of the film are not yet suitable for early disclosure." Tang Huan's footsteps paused slightly, and after glancing at the other party, he continued to walk inside.

"It seems that this matter is true, and I have dug up another bombshell news." Zha Xiaoxin, who also just got a chance to ask a question, was overjoyed and whispered to herself, "These stupid people outside are messed up into a pot of porridge, and they really have no technical content." ”

……

"Tang Sheng, welcome to come." Fang Yihua stepped forward with a smile, "I think there should be a selection of Mr. Xiangjiang specially for Tang Sheng." ”

"Miss Fang is so good at complimenting, I'm almost fluttering." Tang Huan laughed.

Before coming, Xie Ning specially picked up Tang Huan's hairstyle, clothing, and accessories, especially the purple Tang suit tailored by Tang Ya's clothing designer to absorb a lot of suit elements, which is very eye-catching, and the confident Tang Huan dares to wear it out to show fashion without any scruples under the attention of the public.

Fang Yihua greeted each other while leading Tang Huan to meet Shao Yifu, who arrived first.

"Recently, the people below have been a little angry, and the scenes on both sides of the movie and TV are not very good-looking, Tang Sheng don't take it to heart." Shao Yifu said meaningfully.

"A slap doesn't make a sound, and DreamWorks Cinemas also has inconsiderate things when scheduling films." Tang Huan waved his hand disappetically on the surface, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Guy suspects that Shaw Yifu, who has resigned from the film field, is trying to gradually transfer the long-standing contradictions of Shaw Brothers Film Company by throwing Shaw Brothers Cinemas to DreamWorks Cinemas, and find a reasonable excuse for himself to leave, "Look, it's that others are difficult for you, it's not that I don't miss the old love, so I have to stop the film business." Broke everyone's job. ”

However, Tang Huan didn't care about Shao Yifu's old scheming. Everyone calculates with each other. He originally planned to pull the other party together to bear the pressure of monopolizing the film industry in Xiangjiang in the future, the longevity of this sixth uncle is well known to the world, and the two sides have been cooperating for a long time.

"Tang Sheng's bearing is impressive." After Shao Yifu complimented him, he changed his words and asked seemingly casually: "I heard that Mr. Tang also intends to build a studio near Clear Water Bay?" ”

"To be precise, it is the Tseung Kwan O area that is about to be developed." Tang Huan bowed his head slightly and explained carefully: "The inside story is a bit complicated, and I have to start with the Cyberport I built in the Hershey Center. ”

Originally. After more than a year of development, the popularity of the computer city of Hershey Center has gathered, and it has become the largest electronic product distribution center in Xiangjiang.

The reason for its rapid development is that Tang Huan, who tested the waters, unilaterally subsidized and set the rent very low.

Of course, this also creates a situation where the Cyberport of Hershey Center is not very technological, except for the outlets of Zheru Xiangjiang there. As well as agents of other international brands, most of the products in circulation are nothing to praise.

Tang Huan can also see this. It is normal to develop from low to high, and the key is to create a business environment for IT applications.

With the listing of Fangyuan Computer Company, it has become the second largest computer manufacturer in terms of market value after IBM, and the Hong Kong government, which is looking for a new direction for economic development, has also begun to fight Tang Huan's idea after seeing the prosperity of the Hershey Center Cyberport.

Tang Huan's response was of course very positive, and everyone was willing to see the improvement of the technological content of the Xiangjiang economy, but the Hong Kong government wanted to provide an incubation base, and this condition could only be provided by the government. The land price in Xiangjiang is so expensive, and it does not have the conditions for the myth of garage entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley in the United States, which directly blocks the root of the minimum vitality.

Seeing that Tang Huan was serious, Hong Kong Governor Youde immediately came to the scene and gave his advice, "The Yuen Long Industrial Estate has just been completed this year, and it is simply tailor-made for you. ”

The purpose of the so-called industrial estates set up by the Hong Kong government was to provide some large quantities of land at low land prices as industrial zones, so that some new industries could settle down and develop in Hong Kong. Land in estates is for rent only, not for sale, and is characterized by low rents but long tenancies, usually up to 10 to 15 years.

Yuen Long Industrial Estate is the second industrial estate in Heung Kong after Tai Po Industrial Estate, located on the bank of the Shan Pui River in Wang Chau, Yuen Long, New Territories, opposite the swampy area of Nam Sang Wai, only 12 kilometers from Lok Ma Chau, the port of entry of Chinese mainland, covering an area of 67 hectares.

Tang Huan was not happy when he saw this position, he didn't take such a foolish person, his brother was playing high-tech, not the petrochemical, steel production, non-ferrous metals and other industries that were very unpopular in Xiangjiang.

Moreover, the transportation in this area of Yuen Long is notoriously backward, and it will not be fundamentally improved until the beginning of the next century.

So Tang Huan replied directly and unceremoniously, "If you want to cooperate, show sincerity, don't find such a remote place to distribute people." ”

Seeing that the richest man in the world is hairy, Hong Kong Governor Youde can't help but have a big head, he has only been in office for more than a year, and he is busy with the negotiation of the future of Xiangjiang, so he may not have much understanding of the local situation in Xiangjiang.

"Otherwise, go to the Tai Po Industrial Estate, which was completed in 1978 and is in good condition." Governor Youde hastened to remedy the situation.

"The land there was originally intended for production, and it has already attracted a number of factories to move in, which is obviously not suitable."

Seeing that the diplomat-turned-Hong Kong governor didn't seem to have any constructive ideas, Tang Huan simply said directly, "The Hong Kong government might as well approve a new industrial estate in Tseung Kwan O, which is about to be developed, specifically to attract those non-polluting and high-tech industries." This place is adjacent to East Kowloon, and the development prospects are completely predictable, not much stronger than the Yuen Long Industrial Estate and Tai Po Industrial Estate you mentioned. ”

Not to mention, although Hong Kong Governor Youde has limited knowledge in the high-tech industry, he is also a practical person, and Tang Huan's name is loud enough, and the affairs of the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate will soon be recognized.

The last time I saw Xu Ke setting up a location for the movie "Huang Feihong" on someone else's turf, it was not easy, Tang Huan pondered, it is better to get another film and television city.

"In my opinion, at present, the office space of TVB and Media Asia TV's headquarters on Broadcasting Road will definitely become more and more insufficient, so it is better to take advantage of the current downturn in the real estate industry and take precautions as soon as possible." Tang Huan finally said.

"Mr. Tang doesn't seem to care much about the current negotiations on the future of Xiangjiang." Fang Yihua smiled and tentatively said.

"Xiangjiang is not Guantanamo. Britain is not the United States. China is not Cuba. No matter how the game is, a big country is a big country, and its dignity is inviolable, and too many people don't understand China anymore. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan leaned lazily on the sofa, "How did today's Chinese capital develop, it's not all about taking advantage of a turbulent situation like the current one, gritting their teeth and tightening their belts to hoard land. Then the clouds opened and the moon was bright, and they soared into the sky. I'm not British, I'm afraid of wolves and tigers, what are I doing, I'm not tired. ”

"Tang Sheng's vigor and courage are full of energy, and it seems that we are getting old." Shao Yifu said with emotion.

"The sixth uncle is old and strong, and his influence in the Xiangjiang literary and artistic circles is unparalleled, and I have to rely on it a lot." Tang Huan reaffirmed his attitude of long-term cooperation.

……

Over the years, many beauties who participated in the Miss Hong Kong election have become famous overnight, or have entered the entertainment industry and become high-profile stars. Or marry into a wealthy family and become a celebrity.

And the Miss Hong Kong campaign has not stopped self-improvement, such as launching its own campaign theme from this year. This year's edition is "Love Life." Love Hong Kong".

It can be said that at this stage, the final scene of the Miss Xiangjiang contest is a big gathering of celebrities from Xiangjiang and Haojiang, and each family doesn't care how low-key they usually are, if no representative shows up here, it will be suspected of marginalization, and people like the gambling king are frequent visitors.

For the convenience of movement, Shao Yifu sat next to the aisle, and Tang Huan sat next to another adjacent aisle, accompanied by Fang Yihua.

Therefore, when introducing the guests on the radio, "Sir Shaw Yifu" was followed by "Mr. Tang Huan", followed by "Miss Fang Yihua", and the stars held the moon, which seemed very intriguing.

When the radio announced that "the 1983 Miss Hong Kong Contest Finals will start now", this grand party officially opened.

The 15 candidates came out one after another, circled the venue, threw the envelope in their hands, and finally lined up in two compartments, waiting for the emcee to appear - one of them is TVB's gold medal emcee He Shouxin, and the other is Zhong Jinghui, who is currently serving at the Hong Kong Academy of Arts, DreamWorks and Media Asia TV.

After the two emcees said a few words of gossip, they began to introduce the beauties one by one, from Zhang Xiuli in the first place, to Yang Xueyi, and then to Zhang Manyu in the penultimate place.

"No. 29, Miss Zhang Manyu, Fang Ling 18 years old......"

Fang Yihua glanced at Tang Huan quietly, and saw that he was very attentive, and couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction in her heart, she seemed to see hope for weakening Hu Yinmeng's control over Dream Factory.

If you can't be defeated head-on, then take a roundabout tactic, and then it will depend on how arrogant you are and how monolithic DreamWorks is!

Zhang Manyu, who returned to Hong Kong from the UK last year to visit relatives, is now a part-time advertising model, with long hair in a shawl, bangs, and a blue dress, which is full of freshness.

Tang Huan bowed slightly, and said in his heart that he was indeed the actress who had won numerous awards in the original time and space, after opening her mind, her acting skills improved by leaps and bounds.

There are two levels in this year's Miss Hong Kong contest: the swimsuit display and the emcee's questions and the evening dress show at the same time as the talent show, each beauty is trained hard and carefully prepared, with a standard smile and a graceful answer, but there is no unexpected scene of fighting for the position.

"No. 29 is a champion." Fang Yihua seemed to be talking to herself.

"In my opinion, the runner-up is enough." Tang Huan smiled slightly and said casually.

"It seems that Mr. Tang is really optimistic about this girl, and he may even be ready to praise her works." Fang Yihua quipped, "Don't forget, people are in the hands of our TVB." ”

"It's not that the two of us don't have an artist employment agreement, if I really want her schedule, can Miss Fang still sell me a favor?" Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Everyone is a clear-eyed person, and it can be seen that this is definitely the most promising star embryo, and there is no need to be delayed by the publicity work that the champion must perform that year." ”

"Tang Sheng is really like a torch, no matter what happens, he can see through it at a glance." After Fang Yihua complimented him convincingly, he confessed and got up to leave.

Before the judges selected the final results, TVB arranged a very exciting performance.

may be the reason for the great success of Jin Yong's martial arts drama, TVB designed a song and dance drama of the Condor Heroes, bringing together Alan Tam, Kwan Zhengjie, Andy Lau, Jiang Liping and others to perform on the same stage.

Alan Tam is now turning purple, the actor, the top ten golden songs, and the box office of the movie has more than 10 million and other qualifications, and Kwan Zhengjie belongs to a Cantonese music pioneer like Xu Guanjie, and he sang the theme song of last year's TVB version of "Dragon Babu", and the lineup is quite strong.

Seeing that Andy Lau and Jiang Liping, a chivalrous couple, bent their bows and shot arrows, and an eagle really fell off the stage, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh with others, in order to create a stage effect, TVB was really well-intentioned.

In Tang Huan's view, the partnership between Andy Lau and Jiang Liping just shows that some artists have shown an all-round talent in singing, film and television that is difficult for others to achieve from the time they entered the industry.

It is estimated that after the arrangement was completed, Fang Yihua returned to Tang Huan and sat down, and said with a smile: "This Jiang Liping has a lot of background, she is the 3,000 gold of Jiang Zhen, the founder of the industrialist Chen Hsong Group, and she came to prominence when she participated in the 'Asian Singing Competition' held by Li's TV. ”

"TVB under the leadership of Miss Fang is indeed full of talents." Tang Huan nodded, "If I had mastered Li's TV earlier, I believe that many talents would not have run under your hands." ”

Fang Yihua smiled awkwardly, "Of course, Mr. Tang's bearing is different, when the three stations on the radio road were in a big battle, they all came up with strange tricks, poached people with high salaries, and became a mess, but after Mr. Tang won Li's TV, he has always been particular about doing things, and the atmosphere of the entire industry is positive." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Yihua complained, "However, this year's DreamWorks artist training class is very fierce, and the TVB training class can't recruit good seedlings." ”

"But it's still too late in the end." Tang Huan's eyes turned to the stage where the performance ended, and Andy Lau and Jiang Liping were bowing together, "How many of your good seedlings are not enough?" ”

"I absolutely believe in Mr. Tang's vision, and I will firmly sign on TVB any artist you like." Fang Yihua did not hide her pride at all.

Tang Huan coughed lightly, "Miss Fang, how about Zhang Manyu's appointment transferred to me?" You can make an offer. ”

Fang Yihua said in her heart, how can you do it, someone will give it to you directly, can she still blow the pillow wind towards TVB.

"Tang Sheng forgive me, there are rules, although we have a very good relationship, but if TVB really lets people out like this, the media will definitely have all kinds of unfavorable interpretations." When Fang Yihua said this, he made a bold look, "You see if this will work, you can use it as you like, and you should stay with me." ”

can guess your stinginess, and when you see it, how these artists under you rebel against you.

After Tang Huan laughed, he happily agreed, "Okay, I'll help Miss Fang cultivate artists." ”

"TVB wants to ask Zhang Delan to sing the theme song for the TV series "The Condor Heroes", Tang Sheng, look ......"

"Row ......"

"Shaw Brothers also wants to ask Leslie Cheung and Weng Jingjing to make a movie version of "The Condor Heroes"......"

"Good ......"

Tang Huan glanced at Fang Yihua and quipped with a smile, "Miss Fang still needs something, just ask." ”

Fang Yihua was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic: "Tang Sheng, look, No. 29 has really been selected as the runner-up." ”

Looking at the last runner-up Kuang Meiyun putting on a flower crown for Zhang Manyu, Tang Huan couldn't help but be speechless, "What do you mean by really being selected as the runner-up, pretending to be quite similar, didn't you just leave for a while, just to be busy with this."
