Chapter 0072 - Novel Adaptation Talks

Because there were too many things before, after Tang Huan threw the matter of the novel "Shanghai_Tan" to Hu Yinmeng, he only listened to the direct results of the report, but asked about the specific process.

So when Lu Xiaohu parked the car and Hu Yinmeng said "I've arrived", Tang Huan, who was talking to Zhou Mi, inadvertently looked out and realized that the newspaper that Hu Yinmeng chose to publish "Shanghai_Tan" was "Sing Tao Daily".

Coincidentally, Tang Huan remembered that the owner of this newspaper was also surnamed Hu and was called Hu Xian.

The well-known Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong include Ming Pao founded in 1959, Oriental Daily founded in 1969, Sing Tao Daily founded in 1938, and Cheng Pao founded in 1939.

In Xiangjiang, a special place where various forces are intricate, there are often all kinds of reasons hidden under various appearances, such as positions, styles, grievances, and so on.

Taking newspapers as an example, Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" has a center-right stance, while the Ma family, the boss of "Oriental Daily", and the Hu family, the boss of "Sing Tao Daily", have a lot of roots with Baodao, and their position is naturally self-evident.

For example, in the former, the report used to use the Republic of China chronology; The latter has always been so.

Of course, in the nineties, that changed.

Businessmen, at the end of the day, have to think about earnings.

In terms of newspaper style, Ming Pao rarely uses large headlines that shock readers, and like the Sing Tao Daily version of Hong Kong, there is no "Fengyue Edition", the layout and color are slightly monotonous, and the tendency to use neutral language is quite high, so that many secondary and primary schools in Hong Kong will subscribe to Ming Pao on behalf of students.

The self-proclaimed "No. 1 selling volume" of the Oriental Daily not only has a Fengyue edition, but also uses controversial methods to attract attention in its reports from time to time.

As long as he didn't choose a newspaper like Oriental Daily, which was easy to lower his style, Tang Huan didn't care which newspaper Hu Yinmeng published "Shanghai _ Tan" into.

After Hu Yinmeng walked into the newspaper office, Tang Huan waved his hand and motioned for Lu Xiaohu to drive to the company.

……

Although there was no actual participation, the Heung Kong subsidiary was established in full accordance with Tang Huan's concept, and Zhuang Yinuo helped Zhou Mi and others pick a property in the southern business district of Kowloon, and then directly bought it as an office location, which is a big deal.

Of course, the reason why this process went so smoothly was because of the famous Boss Huo secretly helping, which belonged to Tang Huan's borrowing from his grandfather.

When he entered the door, Lu Xiaohu said disdainfully, "When we first took over, there were a few miscellaneous hairs who claimed to be able to collect protection money, and they were so arrogant that they made me beat me up, and I was honest all of a sudden." ”

Zhou Mi snorted dissatisfiedly, "Doing business is about harmony and making money, you guys who are so brave and ruthless are just messing around, Xiangjiang is such an environment here, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, if I don't think of a way to make up for it, I can't stop." ”

Lu Xiaohu laughed hesitantly, "Since you wipe my ass, what do I have to be afraid of." ”

Tang Huan waved his hand and said directly qualitatively: "It's good to use both soft and hard." ”

According to Tang Huan's plan, a product exhibition hall is set up on the first floor, which is a pure kingdom of Philosopherical science and technology, and even the hardware platform used in the demonstration has eliminated the Apple computer, and directly used the Fangyuan computer.

If you divide the personal computer era like a game console, in the mid-to-early seventies, the first Cowherd Star computer supported by Gates's BASIC compiler belonged to the first generation, and the Mac machine in the late seventies belonged to the second generation, and then IBMPC came out, and the manufacturers fully adopted 16-bit CPUs, followed by 286, 386, 486, and the Pentium generation...... And so on.

To be honest, the current Fangyuan computer belonging to the second generation is not satisfactory to Tang Huan, because of the constraints of progress, technology, cost, etc., it is only a combination of Woz's Apple second-generation machine and its own display function enhancement expansion card in terms of hardware, and the expansion card and Han card are enhanced by the printing function through the expansion slot, and the software is built-in through ROMDOS, CGrid, WordEasy.

Tang Huan plans to start developing a 16-bit Fangyuan second-generation computer with IBMPC as a competitor next year, and now let the eight-bit computer bloom to the last splendor.

What's more, products of this grade are now very recognized by the market.

Initially, Tang Huan priced Fangyuan Computer at $1,500 for the people-friendly route, and Hanka for $1,500, and then gradually reduced the price as the factory optimized production.

As a result, the operation of the treasure island is that it has doubled directly on this basis, and users are still buying it, it seems that this situation will continue for a long time, and I don't know how much benefit distribution is involved.

This is the benefit of the technology monopoly, if it is placed in Japan, it is estimated that in half a year, there will be imitation compatible products.

No matter how the treasure island takes the high-end route, it is impossible to eat all the products at once, and it still needs to rely on Xiangjiang, especially the huge market of Japan, to help digest it.

Tang Huan naturally does not feel uncomfortable with himself in pricing, and has to consider the actual situation.

But the price of $1,500 didn't seem to be enough to show the height of Fangyuan Computer, so Tang Huan decided to test the water by a third first.

Several engineers who were transferred from Baodao were training new employees in groups in the hall, and when they saw Tang Huan arrive, they hurriedly came over to say hello, and the faces of the others also showed respectful looks.

Not for anything else, Zheru's salary is generous enough, and the position in the high-tech company is enough to make everyone proud.

Tang Huan nodded, glanced around, and saw that the exhibition hall was divided into detailed areas according to product functions: spreadsheets, word processing, databases, financial accounting, purchase, sales and inventory management, Xiaobawang game consoles, etc., after the user came, according to the demand, directly sat down and inquired.

Zhou Mi said in a low voice: "The eldest son of the Huo family took the initiative to purchase five computers, and I can see that he is purely selling face, so I picked a few engineers with the best technology to do after-sales service." As a result, Boss Huo and the others found that these products were indeed very easy to use, and they placed a batch of orders in earnest. ”

It seems that with the development of the economy, information office has indeed become a necessity for enterprises.

Tang Huan pondered in his heart, and asked casually, "What about the Little Overlord game machine?" ”

Zhou Mi smiled awkwardly, "I don't know how to position this thing, is it like a TV, put it in a department store and sell it?" Before I could take care of the contact, it was placed in the exhibition hall, except for the employees to play secretly, no one cared. ”

As soon as he heard this, Tang Huan was stunned, and then he laughed, he remembered that Zheru hadn't advertised his products in Xiangjiang yet, and Lin Fengjiao was invited from Baodao, and Xiangjiang also wanted to find a good character.

went up to the second floor, Lu Xiaohu shouted, "Zheng Gang, Yang Qinglin, Wei Jun, hurry up and see who has arrived." ”

As soon as the words fell, three young men ran out of an office, and when they saw Tang Huan, they shouted in surprise, "Little Master." ”

Tang Huan smiled and shook his head, "Hurry up and change your name, they all call me old." At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I relied on a few kung fu skills to bully you to play, and I couldn't count. ”

The three of them looked at each other, obviously at a loss as to what to call them.

Tang Huan hugged them one by one, and then laughed loudly: "In this way, in private, you are the same as Lao Zhou and Huzi, call me Datang, and call me Mr. Tang in front of outsiders, I like vassal elegance." ”

Zhou Mi saw this scene on the side, and nodded secretly in his heart, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Datang has changed a lot, no wonder you have become a multimillionaire." ”

Tang Huan walked into the office of the three of them, and saw several ashtrays on the coffee table and desk, and newspapers were also placed indiscriminately.

Lu Xiaohu explained on the side: "A talent like Mr. Zhou can show his strengths wherever he is placed. The four of us can only run errands, take a start, be on duty at night, do some unskilled work, and read the newspaper when we have nothing to do. ”

Tang Huan sighed in understanding, "It's suffocating you to the office like this." ”

"By the way, is there any spare space in this property? Can we open up a place dedicated to fitness and entertainment, so that everyone's spare time life is more colorful. Tang Huan turned his head and asked Zhou Mi.

"It can be arranged, but it's an extra expense." Zhou Mi replied with some hesitation, obviously not agreeing with such luxury.

"It's okay, money is the least important thing to consider, and you'll take care of it yourself." Tang Huan made a decision.

After speaking, Tang Huan picked up a newspaper casually, saw that it was the Oriental Daily, and was about to drop it, when he suddenly stared at it, and saw a report on it, titled "Talented Woman and Rich Girl, Talented and Wealthy", the author Li Ao, the content is his cynicism about Hu Yinmeng's "Shang_ Beach", and lamented that at the beginning, such an independent-minded strange woman also played the word game of infatuation with men and women, joys and sorrows, and it seems that she has been successfully brainwashed by a certain rich man.

I wiped it, this high-grade black hand is so long, it actually stretched from the treasure island to the Xiangjiang River, is it a trick by Oriental Daily in pursuit of sales?

Although this set is a bit annoying, it has helped to enhance the fame of "Shanghai Beach", and even attracted Li Ao's attention, which can be regarded as protecting this person by the way.

Seeing Tang Huan frowning, Yang Qinglin, who was slightly white, pointed to another newspaper and said: "I have read the novel of "Shang_ Beach", yes, it just writes the protagonist to death, which makes people feel unhappy. ”

Tang Huanwan smiled, picked up the Sing Tao Daily, and couldn't help frowning, feeling a little unhappy.

It turned out that "Shang_ Beach" indicated two authors: Hu Yinmeng and Tang Huan.

Tang Huan, Tang Huan.

Is this Hu Yinmeng's pen name for himself? Didn't she let her publish the novel alone, and this woman didn't say a word to herself, so she did it, and it was too unscrupulous, it seems that her boss still hasn't managed the secretary in place.

At this time, a phone call came in from the front desk, which was from Hu Yinmeng.

"Ms. Fang Yihua of Shaw Brothers wants to see me to talk about the TV series adaptation of "Shanghai_Beach", should I go to meet with her?"

Now Run Run Shaw is only the executive director of TVB, and he is not a family member, so he works so hard, it seems that the opportunity is really reserved for those who are prepared.

Tang Huan thought in his heart, and said: "Naturally, we came to Xiangjiang this time to see what the value of "Shang_ Beach" is. ”

"Then how do I talk to the other party, and what is the bottom line?" Hu Yinmeng asked hesitantly.

"The way I hope to cooperate is that we will pay for the filming ourselves, and the other party will directly buy our finished products for broadcasting, so that we can control the film and television rights ourselves." Tang Huan commanded with careful words.

Hu Yinmeng understood for a moment and said, "I understand, let's try to talk about it." ”

Tang Huan encouraged her, "Just sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, if you can't do it, you can ...... with ATV." I believe that one party will agree. ”
