Chapter 0261 - The God of Business of Treasure Island
"Do me a favor, as long as Miss Deng is willing to come, I am willing to donate NT$1 million to the scholarship program you are preparing." Tang Huan cooperated and continued to lobby.
"If that's the case, I can try to adjust my itinerary." Deng Lijun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you don't bring this, you have to force me to break the bank." Tang Huan coughed lightly, returned to his normal tone, and complained, "My money is not blown by the wind, it is very stressful to raise a TV station, and the landlord's family has no surplus food." ”
"Your purse is so bulging, if you don't find you, what a waste of opportunities." Deng Lijun's laughter was full of smugness.
"Why don't you stay on the other side of the Xiangjiang River, is it really so busy here on the treasure island?" Tang Huan greeted with some unease.
"Since returning to Treasure Island to perform at the Golden Horse Awards, the itinerary has been full, not counting the commercial activities that have been politely declined. Moreover, most of them have some favors, and it is not easy to put big names. You must know that the assistant team you arranged for me has become a wall, and people have already talked about it in private, saying that Deng Lijun has a big shelf. Deng Lijun, who heard Tang Huan's concern, explained carefully in a soft voice.
"Don't pay attention to what others say, you have too much work and need to take a break." Tang Huan emphasized the importance of his arrangement, "By the way, congratulations on your first Cantonese album "Incompatible" with a good response, a proper platinum, can't run." That, Miss Deng, give me a chance. ”
"You, it's not suitable for development in the music world, so let's honestly do the promising profession of a businessman." Deng Lijun happily hit Tang Huan.
"Okay. Listen to persuasion. Eat a full meal. Thanks to Ms. Deng's guidance, I decided to do my job first. After some private flirting, the call ended.
……
After nearly two years of construction, the Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park was finally completed on December 15, 1980. In contrast, the mainland side has a long way to go.
As the first batch of high-tech enterprises to settle in, Zheru and Fangyuan Computer Factory. It can be said that it has established a core position, and it has been supported by the associated upstream and downstream enterprises.
In particular, Acer was authorized and supported by the technical support to start producing 8-bit microcomputers compatible with the first generation of Fangyuan computers, and UMC became Intel's second supplier and had the opportunity to develop the Intel8086, which fully demonstrated Tang Huan's bearing and energy, making it natural for people in the industry to regard him as an industry leader.
Under the impetus of Tang Huan, Singapore has determined the plan to establish wafer fabs with SGS in Italy and Thomson in France; And Treasure Island is also actively promoting this matter.
After this batch of production capacity is released, it will more or less have some impact on the decline rate of hardware prices.
Tang Huan was most pleased. Takushima's production system is also ISO certified, as such. The quality control of all products is guaranteed, and then it is time for the partners to do so.
The environment of Treasure Island is far more complicated than that of Singapore, so Tang Huan has a lot of entertainment.
However, compared with the past, he has a bigger name to meet - the head of the Formosa Plastics Group, known as the "God of Management" Wang Yongqing.
I have to say that the role of the American billionaire as a world pass has gradually emerged, and Tang Huan, who has this halo, has become a very close business partner with his next generation, and if the Wang family turns a blind eye, it will be laughed at.
A group can suddenly get rich, but soft resources such as social connections, corporate culture, etc., need to rely on time to accumulate and precipitate, and the industry under the name of the Wang family has obviously reached the standard.
Since February 1976, when it made its first overseas investment, it established the "Indonesia South Asia Company" in Indonesia, and in October 1978, it established the "Formosa Plastics America Company" in New Jersey, USA, and even in March 1980, it chose Liberia to register and establish the "Formosa Plastics Shipping Company".
In 1983, the U.S. subsidiary of Formosa Plastics Group began to cooperate with HP to enter the electronics industry.
It is not difficult to see that at this stage, the Wang family is actively expanding its industry, and Tang Huan, a figure with good hands and eyes, naturally has too much need for further contact.
Tang Huan, accompanied by Wang Xueling and Jian Mingren, attended the year-end social dinner of Formosa Plastics Group and met Wang Yongqing and Wang Yongzai.
In the original time and space, Wang Yongqing was revealed to have a fourth-room wife and more than ten children, and Wang Xueling and Wang Xuehong were sisters from the second room, and did not inherit the family property, and opened up another world.
With the help of Tang Huan, Dazhong Computer, which was established by Wang Xueling and Jian Mingren, quickly became the largest computer service company in Baodao today.
Coupled with Tang Huan's mutual shareholding relationship with Wang Xueling and Jian Mingren, his relationship with the Wang family is really deep.
Of course, although Tang Huan met Wang Yongqing and Wang Yongzai for the first time, he didn't have too much strangeness.
Formosa Plastics Group itself is a big customer of Fangyuan Computer, and the benefits brought by enterprise informatization have become more and more obvious, Wang Yongqing recognized this progress.
Tang Huan has never despised others because he has the advantage of information asymmetry, and the information age in the original time and space only provides convenience for people, which does not mean that it improves people's wisdom.
And Wang Yongqing's opinions have always been praised, for example, he said, "The dollar you earn is not your dollar, the dollar you save is your dollar." ”
It is intriguing to compare the dizzying financial system invented in the West and expand from it, and to think about it in detail.
In 2004, Forbes magazine counted that Formosa Plastics' Wang Yongqing and Hon Hai's Terry Gou were both worth $2.8 billion. tied for the richest man on Treasure Island. Ranked 188th in the world.
And what about the facts. Wang Yongqing's wealth is not only in a basket of treasure islands, and the general opinion is that Wang Yongqing's personal wealth is seriously undervalued, and he should be ranked before 95th in the world.
The most obvious evidence is that when the estate is declared, the treasure island is about $1.7 billion, the Hong Kong River is more than $4 billion, and the United States has an even larger part, with total assets estimated at nearly $20 billion.
The actual richest man on Treasure Island. Go without saying.
This phenomenon is not a clever way to deal with people.
While interacting with the Wang family, Tang Huan and the other members kept a proper distance, the relationship between the rooms was not so simple, and the prince, who was also born in the second room and was being regarded as the future successor, was also on a different path from Wang Xueling and Wang Xuehong in the future.
As long as you get help from the IT industry, you don't need to get involved.
……
At this banquet, Tang Huan drank a little high, and when he woke up the next day, he felt like he had a hangover.
This suddenly reminded him of the alcoholic Gu Long. I don't know how the other party recovered from his injuries after the Yinsong Pavilion incident.
Heungjiang's game development team is working on the project of "The Peerless Twins". It's in full swing, and when it's time to release, maybe you need this dude to cheer you on.
As a result, when Tang Huan saw Gu Long, he was immediately startled, originally the other party was a very strong person, especially the chubby head, which was a signboard, but now he has obviously lost weight.
Looking at Gu Long, who was drinking a little wine with Wo Longsheng, Tang Huan shook his head again and again, "Is the injury healed, I can't help but have a stomach." ”
"There is wine today and drunk today, come, drink together." Gu Long, who looked depressed, invited repeatedly.
This literary hero inherited the freedom in his works, and did not change his initial attitude towards getting along at all because of the improvement of Tang Huan's identity.
Tang Huan's eyes fell on Wolongsheng, and he asked lightly, "Why don't you persuade you?" ”
"Where can he listen?" Wo Longsheng smiled bitterly, "I just quarreled with his wife Mei Baozhu, and I'm getting more and more depressed." ”
"It's normal for husbands and wives to quarrel, as for drinking alcohol, don't take your health seriously." Tang Huan couldn't understand Gu Long's actions, and there was a sentence he didn't say, Gu Long was considered to have been in the middle of thousands of flowers, and he didn't leave a single leaf, how could he be restrained by a woman?
However, what Wo Longsheng just said is also right, talented people have their own world in their hearts, and it is difficult to listen to the persuasion of others.
Seeing Gu Long pouring himself a drink with drunken eyes, Wo Longsheng explained in a low voice, "Recently, in addition to the unfortunate thing that he was injured in the stall, the film company has not been running smoothly, and he has lost a lot of money in a daze, and it is estimated that there is not much money left for the money Mr. Tang gave." ”
"Not really." Hearing these words, Tang Huan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"People like us don't know how to manage money." Wo Longsheng reluctantly laughed at himself.
No matter how arrogant a hero is, he can't get rid of the secular economic foundation.
Tang Huan pondered for a while, Gu Long's martial arts novels are his wealth, but a large number of movies were adapted and filmed in the 1970s, and the craze has gradually passed, and in recent years, there have been several TV series like "Chu Liuxiang", "Huanhua Washing Sword Record", and "Peerless Double Pride", but it is impossible to put it on the screen and screen too intensively, and it is not so easy to realize even with this kind of commodity.
However, after all, he controls a TV station, so he can support it and alleviate Gu Long's immediate needs.
You must know that TVB is planning to shoot "Dragon Babu", according to the historical development trend, a large number of costume martial arts TV series will emerge in the next few years, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bad street, and Media Asia TV will also go up to the top,
Jin Yong's works were basically booked by TVB early, and DreamWorks had to find a way from Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and others in order to cope with the martial arts boom throughout the 1980s.
"Have you heard of it, I bought Li's TV in Xiangjiang and renamed it Media Asia TV." Tang Huan knocked on the table and asked.
"Your business is so big?" Gu Long burped and muttered to himself.
Wo Longsheng scratched his head and replied embarrassedly, "I didn't pay much attention to the news about this." ”
"I guess you just remember to drink." Tang Huan slapped the table with a smile, "Heroes, I don't even know when business comes to the door." If the TV station wants to shoot a martial arts TV series. Won't your work be sold for money? ”
Listened to this. Gu Long was excited, and seemed to have woken up a little from alcohol, and pulled Tang Huan's arm with a smile and shook it, "Boss Tang, you are really timely rain, how can you buy it, do you buy it like a video game?" I'll sell it all to you. ”
"I won't be poked in the back and robbed." Tang Huan broke away and snapped his fingers. said slowly: "I bought the exclusive TV series adaptation rights of your martial arts novels in Xiangjiang; Not necessarily immediately, but the deadline is in the 1980s; You can continue to sell the TV series adaptation rights of Treasure Island, but you are obliged to notify me in advance. ”
"No problem, I'll listen to you." Gu Long nodded like a chicken pecking at broken rice, "You can buy them all." ”
"Are you wronged by me?" Tang Huan scolded with a smile, "First pick the works of "Peerless Shuangjiao" and "Xiao Li Flying Knife", just use them, and when they are not enough, I will look for you again, lest you exchange your money for wine." Drink into the stomach. ”
Although Tang Huan didn't mind Ragulong, he couldn't compromise his shrewd reputation.
"The Peerless Twins" was filmed by Baodao TV in 1977. On the other side of Xiangjiang, TVB also filmed it in 1979. Gu Long reminded.
"I know, it doesn't matter, didn't I buy several works, "The Peerless Twins" will be filmed in two or three years, and the audience will have a sense of freshness again." Tang Huan nodded.
He naturally knew that in 1979, in order to shoot "The Peerless Twins", TVB took great pains to invite Mi Xue to play Su Ying in the play, and in 1988, Tony Leung's version of "The Peerless Twins" was filmed, with Xie Ning, who was born in Miss Hong Kong, playing Su Ying.
In the original time and space, a total of no less than 8 versions of "The Peerless Twins" were filmed, which shows how long-lasting the attraction of this theme is.
"Boss Tang, take care of my business too." Wo Longsheng flatteringly poured a glass of wine for Tang Huan and brought it up with both hands.
"Of course." Tang Huan took the wine and drank it all, "Let's pick up "Feiyan Shocking Dragon" and "Jiangxue Xuanshuang" first, the rules are the same as Gu Long." ”
The main feature of Wo Longsheng's martial arts novels is that the male protagonist is pursued by many beautiful women, and the result is often that the heroines are described with distinct personalities and leap on the page, while the male protagonists are dwarfed and eclipsed.
In the original time and space, "Feiyan Shocking Dragon" was adapted into "Crane Divine Needle", and "Snow Xuanshuang" was adapted into "Snow Flower Sword", which is still quite well-known.
In short, Tang Huan also calculated the gains and losses of interests under the appearance of impatience and justice, which is the so-called benefit equalization and win-win.
At the end of the conversation, Tang Huan knocked on the table again, "For more detailed matters, I will let my subordinates deal with them, and I won't ask in person." ”
Speaking of this, Tang Huan took out an envelope and put it in front of Gu Long, "You encountered an accident this time, I didn't have time to express my condolences immediately, now make up for it." ”
"That's embarrassing." Gu Long scratched his head shyly in a rare way.
"Just take it." Tang Huan waved his hand disappreciatively, got up to say goodbye, and kindly reminded, "Don't be so greedy, don't pay attention to health, when you see beautiful women, you will be powerless." ”
"Mr. Tang taught me a lesson." Gu Long and Wo Longsheng laughed and sent Tang Huan out of the door.
Tang Huan waved his hand, got into the car, glanced at Gu Long and Wo Longsheng, and said in his heart You should still be restrained in your living habits and do it yourself, otherwise it would be a pity to die young.
……
Tang Huan's entertainment on Treasure Island can be said to be overwhelming, and he has been dragged for a long time here in Acer and Lianhua, and as for Hon Hai, which is still unknown at this time, he can only be in the back row.
By the time Tang Huan arrived in Japan, it was January 1981, and the people here had just finished the New Year.
Of course, the sales of game consoles and PCs have also taken this opportunity to blow out.
The main purpose of Tang Huan's visit to Japan is to transfer part of the production capacity of Epson's printers to the mainland.
After meeting Yasukawa Hideaki, the other party had no objections, and speculated that Reijiro Hattori would not only agree, but perhaps also give up control of Epson, which Tang Huan had coveted for a long time.
It turned out that Reijiro Hattori became interested in the position of the patriarch of the Hattori family.
The family's main business is Seiko watches, as well as luxury goods such as jewelry, and products such as printers, which are only side businesses.
As Tang Huan's influence on the Epson printer grew, Reijiro Hattori, who was tired of coping, already had the chagrin of leading the wolf into the house at the beginning, and subtly transformed, but it was not impossible to hand over control flexibly.
Because he was fascinated by the Lady Atoka's batch of gems, the few treasures he brought back from San Francisco attracted the attention of dignitaries as soon as they appeared in Japan.
Located in the heart of Ginza, Tokyo, the sixth-floor gallery of Wako Hall, the Wako Department Store, has been overcrowded lately to see the perfect natural gemstones.
The status of the Hattori family in the Japanese fashion industry has also been raised to a new height, and Hattori Reijiro has contributed to this.
As a result, he felt that he could give up the printer business as a side business, while Tang Huan, who was not very good at jewelry, continued to provide gemstone resources.
After seeing Reijiro Hattori, who was much more enthusiastic than before, Tang Huan quickly figured out the other party's wishful thinking, this guy is not young, but he is still so ambitious, which is really breathtaking.
Of course, there are things that can be worked. (To be continued......)
