As a businessman, financial newspapers such as "The Wall Street Journal" are indispensable, especially recently when Zheru has been favored by others, and Tang Huan cannot be ignored.

As a result, on this day, he habitually opened the latest issue of the Wall Street Journal and found a full-page ad with the headline "Welcome, IBM. Seriously" is "welcome, IBM", which is simply a domineering spirit of "dissatisfied, come to fight", rushing to the face.

Tang Huan was surprised that this famous advertisement appeared almost a year earlier, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved, IBM had made a move, and Jobs, who was fearless and ignorant, naturally had to be strong.

Tang Huan picked up the phone casually and called Makula, "Mike, I saw the ad in the Wall Street Journal today, and the idea is good." ”

"That was Steve's idea." Makula replied, while remembering the previous situation when Jobs came to ask for advertising funds, if it weren't for the other party saying "Look at how Tang Huan attracted the attention of others at the Moscow Olympics", he really wouldn't have agreed to such a sensational plan.

"This year, the advertising budget alone has doubled from last year to $4.5 million, but we are still overspending." Macoola sighed helplessly.

"The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, Jobs's idea is right." Tang Huan laughed, "The positioning of personal computers is closer to consumer goods such as televisions, and IBM's traditional marketing method centered on large customers is not suitable for this emerging industry." ”

Hearing Tang Huan's analysis, Macoola's heart finally relaxed. "Let's see how well the ads work."

Tang Huan smiled and put down the phone. I muttered to myself. At the very least, it will attract enough eyeballs, and investors will have a deeper impression of Apple.

As for being ridiculed as self-defeating or touted as ambitious, it will not be meaningful until the victory and defeat have been decided in the future.

Looking at the "Wall Street Journal" in front of him, Tang Huan couldn't help but itch his hands, and his thoughts surged, so he picked up a pen and wrote a straightforward title, "What can personal computers do for us."

Since the advent of mainframe computers. The main customer of computers was the state, which then began to be adopted by large enterprises, and the right to use such expensive equipment often represented a privilege to some extent.

It wasn't until the 1970s, with the advent of small computers and even calculators, that small and medium-sized enterprises began to see first-hand the benefits of such technology.

When the forward-thinking people come up with the personal computer, they keep saying that it does a lot of things, but it's really just a very vague set of words. I don't have a score in my heart at all, otherwise I wouldn't have waited for Tang Huan to launch spreadsheet software last year. Thus it has risen rapidly in Silicon Valley.

In this article, Tang Huan, combined with the background of the 1980s in the original time and space, has a good prediction of the capabilities of personal computers, starting from spreadsheets, word processing, databases, and expanding to image processing, electronic publishing, and so on.

This series of descriptions suddenly made the image of the personal computer concrete and vivid, which can be regarded as a disguised cheer for the upcoming Apple computer.

Tang Huan handed over the manuscript to his subordinates to see if he could vote for the Wall Street Journal, and he set off for Xiangjiang.

……

Kowloon Tong, 63 Broadcasting Road, in the TVB Main Station Building.

Zhao Yazhi, who was graceful, smiled at the two employees who flatteringly called "Sister Zhi" to greet him, and walked into the elevator, blocking out the whispering behind the discussion.

……

"It is said that a divorced woman with an oil bottle has a hard time, but if you look at others, she is rising step by step."

"What do you know, she has found a backer, otherwise why would she have to be named for Chow Tai Fook's recent advertisement? There are several first-line dans in the company. ”

"I said why she has been getting bigger and bigger recently, many characters in TV series said they didn't like it, so they simply pushed it off, Miss Fang still had to give her face, it turned out that there was someone on it."

"Hehe, you little bastard, don't say it so explicitly, leave some morality. I heard that she has a stake in a clothing company, so naturally she doesn't need to work hard to film like other artists. This job is just a superficial scenery, if you need to catch up with the schedule, staying up late and working overtime is a common thing, and women are easy to get old because of this. ”

"If the conditions are qualified, even if it is hard, I am willing to film, and maybe I can have the opportunity to find a rich man."

"Dream your big dreams."

……

"Hello Miss Fang, I'm here." Zhao Yazhi walked into Fang Yihua's office and said respectfully.

"Ah Zhi has arrived, sit down." Fang Yihua greeted warmly.

As Run Run Shaw's agent, Fang Yihua has seen too many people who are arrogant in Shaw Brothers movies and TVB.

Therefore, she admires Zhao Yazhi's attitude towards people very much, even if she has climbed a high branch, she has not raised her tail and is still low-key.

Originally, I was a pity that the other party was unladylike in private, but not only did a TV series "Shang_ Beach" make it more popular, but my personal life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

After chatting a few words of gossip, Fang Yihua changed the topic and said in a heartfelt manner: "Ah Zhi, you can be regarded as an old employee of the company, so there are some things that I want to ask you to help with." ”

"Miss Fang is embarrassed, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it." Zhao Yazhi's tone was cautious.

"Not necessarily." Fang Yihua smiled meaningfully, "It depends on whether you are willing to agree or not?" ”

"Then please speak." Zhao Yazhi nodded.

"The success of "Shanghai_ Beach" is obvious to all, and it stands to reason that it should take advantage of the popularity that has not yet subsided to make a sequel, but DreamWorks has not taken action for a long time, which is really worrying." Fang Yihua took Zhao Yazhi's hand and patted it. "I'd like to ask you to help me find out Mr. Tang's tone. Let's see if TVB can run the sequel to "Shang_Beach" on its own. ”

Fang Yihua respects the copyright of "Shanghai_Beach" so much. It's not because of how noble TVB's discipline is, but Tang Huan has now gained a firm foothold in Xiangjiang, and his company has business dealings with famous Chinese businessmen such as Boss Huo, Charter King, Zheng Yutong, and the Xiangjiang Police Department, which is really difficult to provoke.

After Zhao Yazhi understood Fang Yihua's intention to find him, he couldn't help but dizzy his cheeks, and said in a low voice: "This kind of thing." You should talk to Miss Hu from DreamWorks. ”

"Hu Yinmeng's little girl is more difficult." Fang Yihua said something stupid, and at the same time, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, as if there was something unspeakable.

Xiangjiang, a small land with a population of five or six million, is always indispensable for good people to comment on the privacy of celebrities.

I don't know when it started, a kind of gossip began to circulate in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, following the two most powerful women in the industry, Shaw Brothers and TVB's Fang Yihua and Golden Harvest's Liu Lianghua, and a new star has risen - Hu Yinmeng of DreamWorks.

DreamWorks first filmed the TV series "Shanghai_ Beach", which won everyone's recognized reputation and status, and then created the jade singer Zhang Delan. The latest album "Lost Promise" has reached the platinum standard of 50,000 copies in one fell swoop. This is not stopped, and a lot of comic talents have been recruited one after another.

Although everyone still can't figure out what DreamWorks is doing with such money and expansion, there is a big financier behind it, and it is not an exaggeration to lose it, Hu Yinmeng's status in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is on the rise, there is no doubt about it.

It is precisely because of hearing these gossip that Fang Yihua has a knot in her heart, she and Liu Lianghua are at least the same era, and they are actually compared with Hu Yinmeng, a little girl?

Especially when talking about business with him, listening to and watching the other party's sharp teeth and lips and flourishing, the jealousy of being a woman arises spontaneously.

I feel uncomfortable, I have prejudices, and I can't talk about the cooperation that everyone needs and has a shallow foundation.

However, Fang Yihua was able to enter the Shaw Brothers as a layman, starting from grassroots procurement, and then succeeded in seizing power with the acquiescence of Run Run Shaw, suppressing a bunch of old fritters to low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, and naturally his mind and dexterity will not be bad.

So, Fang Yihua planned to take a roundabout route, bypassing Hu Yinmeng, and directly let Zhao Yazhi blow the pillow wind in Tang Huan, the degree of favor of this little Huadan under his own can be inferred from the speed of career development.

Zhao Yazhi bit her lip and thought for a moment, and finally lived up to Fang Yihua's expectations, nodded and agreed, "Miss Fang, I'll give it a try, but I don't dare to guarantee that there will be good news like success." ”

"You just have to do it." Fang Yihua laughed happily, and even pinched Zhao Yazhi's smooth face affectionately, "I believe that you are definitely heavy enough to speak with Mr. Tang." ”

Fang Yihua is notoriously strict within TVB, so Zhao Yazhi is really a little uncomfortable with the intimacy in front of her, but she suppressed her emotions and didn't dare to show it.

At the same time, Zhao Yazhi is like a mirror in his heart, and the recent changes in his situation are all due to that man.

……

When Zhao Yazhi returned to the apartment, he found that Tang Huan was still lying on the bed and falling asleep, and it had been almost half a day since he got off the plane.

Zhao Yazhi sat down in front of the dresser gently, looked at himself in the mirror, pursed his lips and smiled, and then carefully took out a few sketches and admired them affectionately, these were all painted by Tang Huan for himself before, and each work was accompanied by an impressive boudoir fun.

Just as his mind was wandering, Zhao Yazhi suddenly heard Tang Huan on the bed turn over, and asked vaguely, "Zhizhi, what delicious food did you make, I can smell the aroma here." ”

"Stewed chicken soup." Zhao Yazhi leaned over and playfully stroked Tang Huan's face with the tips of his hair.

Seeing the man's itchy appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Wow, if you don't let me sleep well, then I'll sleep with you." Tang Huan, who opened his eyes, hugged this troublemaker.

"You're vulgar." Zhao Yazhi just sneered, and his small mouth was blocked.

In the kung fu of intertwining words and tongues, Zhao Yazhi was already half-dissolved.

"No, you've been hungry since you got off the plane." The woman muttered.

"Wait until the exercise is over. The amount of food would be better. The man impatiently came to make a move to overpower. The big bed was intimidated by this momentum. There was a squeaky wail.

……

"This bed should be replaced, it's so noisy." Tang Huan, who was refreshed, couldn't help but caress the woman's satin-smooth back.

"It's all good, but it's all your villain." Zhao Yazhi bit the man's chest muscles in shame.

"It's all my fault." Tang Huan laughed, "I'm really hungry, let me taste your craft." ”

The two of them were busy for a while before they sat down at the table in the dining room.

Zhao Yazhi watched gently as Tang Huan finished drinking a bowl of chicken soup. Proudly invited the merit and said, "It's delicious, I put some supplements in it." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Tang Huan nodded again and again, "Zhizhi, you are so caring, I really need to make up for it, I am busy with work and farming, and I will inevitably become weak." ”

"You're just talking nonsense." Zhao Yazhi blushed slightly and brought another bowl of chicken soup.

Seeing Tang Huan chewing slowly this time, Zhao Yazhi remembered what Fang Yihua had entrusted him, so he said, "Ah Huan." Today, Miss Fang specially called me to her office and wanted me to help inquire. Can TVB get the copyright and shoot the sequel to the TV series "Shang_Beach" alone. ”

"TVB is unwilling to let go of any opportunity to extract surplus value." After Tang Huan heard this, he smiled dumbly.

Originally, in time and space, following the 1980 version of "Shang_ Beach", TVB filmed "Shanghai Beach Sequel" and "Shanghai Tang Dragon and Tiger Fight", each with 20 episodes.

In addition to Ding Li played by Lu Liangwei, other aspects such as actors, plots, etc., basically have nothing to do with the first "Shang_ Beach".

As for the reaction, just pull an older person from the street and ask him about his memory.

Although Tang Huan is a scheming businessman, he is first and foremost an engineer, especially sometimes, he will burst out with the stubborn energy of technicians to pursue perfection, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is obsessive-compulsive.

Therefore, once he remembers the boutique he created - "Shang_ Beach", there will be a sequel to selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it is like a caterpillar crawling on his back, and he is uncomfortable.

Is my brother short of money now? There is definitely no shortage of them. So why block yourself?

"Zhizhi, what do you think are the flaws in DreamWorks' "On the Beach"?" Tang Huan did not directly refuse, but asked rhetorically.

Zhao Yazhi propped his chin and thought for a moment, "I feel that it is very perfect, and now that I think about it, it is really incredible, I remember that when I was filming in the past, there were always some shortcomings, and even goofs, but it didn't." ”

"What would you do if I asked you to shoot a sequel, like the plot aspect." Tang Huan continued to ask step by step.

Zhao Yazhi immediately shook his head, "I don't know, I guess the plot should start anew." ”

"That's it, Zhizhi, you can see it very clearly." Tang Huan snapped his fingers, "TVB's so-called sequel is actually just to use the signboard of "Shang_ Beach" to attract the audience. ”

"Then I'll reject Miss Fang tomorrow." Zhao Yazhi nodded resolutely.

"That's not necessary, you're just in charge of passing the word, and you can't take on the work of offending people." Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand, "Besides, you always have to give some face, if they are interested in making movies, they can cooperate." ”

"What face do I have, don't affect the business for me." Zhao Yazhi persuaded embarrassedly.

"These are small things, and it doesn't cost too much brain cells, so it's settled." Tang Huan waved his hand magnificently.

……

The next day, Tang Huan, accompanied by Hu Yinmeng, first inspected the latest organizational structure of DreamWorks, which already has a prototype of a comprehensive Chinese-language entertainment content provider: television, film, music, and the newly incorporated comics department.

Xiangjiang's comics, like their counterparts in other regions, have experienced a period of chaos and prosperity mixed with violence, eroticism, and so on.

Under social pressure, in 1975, the Hong Kong government officially passed the "Bad Publications Ordinance" to clean up the industry.

Naturally, there was an earthquake in the comic industry, such as Huang Yulang's "Little Rascal", which had to be renamed "Dragon Tiger Gate" because of excessive rendering of violence, flesh and blood, and erotic perversion, while avoiding bad content.

After this adjustment, practitioners have at least abided by the rules on the surface, and the Hong Kong comic industry has also ushered in a new opportunity.

At present, the pattern of this field is roughly divided into two factions, which respectively created Huang Yulang of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and Shangguan Xiaobao of "Bruce Lee".

The former's apprentices are Qi Wenjie, Zhang Wanyou, Mao Mingwei, etc., known as the "Royal Forest Army"; The latter's brothers include Shangguan Xiaowei, Shangguan Xiaoqiang, etc., and became the "Shangguan family".

Huang Yulang has become a climate, ambitious in 1979 to establish the Yulang Group, began to embark on the Cotai Avenue of "the money you earn into your own pocket", obviously hopeless.

Moreover, a person like Huang Yulang, who has both professional talent and business acumen, after working hard to reach his current position, it is basically impossible to accept the situation of being subservient.

But it doesn't matter, there are still a lot of comic book talents that can be co-opted.

Practitioners in this field had a hard life in the early days, taking Huang Yulang as an example, he dropped out of school at the age of 13 and became an intern at "Times Comics Daily", and the treatment was no salary, including room and board.

Other peers are not much better, such as Shangguan Xiaobao, even if they open a company, they are also doing poorly, otherwise they would not have been acquired by Huang Yulang in the next few years in the original time and space.

Hu Yinmeng didn't waste too much spitting stars, and directly took out the check from DreamWorks, so the members of the "Shangguan Family" basically didn't run away, and they all got in the bag. (To be continued......)
