……

It must be admitted that Xiangjiang is a rare testing field. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

First of all, the economy is developed enough that the most receptive areas of electronic money, such as public utilities, retail, ticketing, and road tolls, have duly issued a call for high-tech applications.

Secondly, the atmosphere is quite free, so that the purpose is not just to sell the solution, but also to gain the dominant power, Tang Huan prefers to choose Xiangjiang rather than another equally economically developed land - Singapore.

In recent years, while adopting ERP - enterprise resource planning, CRM - customer relationship management and other systems internally, Qin He has also participated in the application of electronic money and the construction of electronic banking in the fields of public utilities, retail, ticketing and other fields operated by Qinhe, and then created an ecosystem called "Octopus".

As far as the current development status is concerned, the report card handed over by Octopus is also worthy of the literal meaning of "you can reach all directions with a card", as well as the lottery head that means "developed", and has received the support of all licensed banks in Hong Kong except HSBC, which can pay for water, electricity, coal, telephone and other service charges, as well as the consumption of certain cinema lines, convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and other places, and the location has expanded from Hong Kong to Haojiang and the Special Economic Zone.

At the same time, the public transportation industry, represented by the Heung Kong Metro, is also constantly committed to the application of electronic ticketing systems.

Tang Huan provided the solution of magnetic stripe cards and contact card readers for the Hong Kong Metro - when he smashed the killer John Hinckley's revolver with a card reader during the Reagan assassination case, it proved that this device is very solid and can adapt to all kinds of complex application environments.

The application of the "Universal Stored-Value Ticket" system of the Hong Kong MTR has now been extended to the Kowloon-Canton Railway, as well as the service lines of the Kowloon Bus Bus and Citybus connecting the Hong Kong MTR and the Kowloon-Canton Railway.

Other public transport systems, such as the Kowloon Motor Bus, the expanding Citybus, the declining Chunghwa Bus, ferries, and other public transport systems, of course, have their own e-ticketing implementations, but they obviously cannot be compared with the Hong Kong MTR.

Compared with the boom in these areas, the progress of Heung Kong's electronic road pricing system has been relatively slow. In particular, in 1983, the Hong Kong government conducted an experiment in Central to deal with the problem of traffic congestion, but it caused a strong public backlash and was permanently shelved, which became notorious.

It was not until April 20 this year that the only tunnel connecting West Tsuen Wan in the New Territories and East Sha Tin in the New Territories, the Shing Mun Tunnel, was officially opened to traffic, and Tong Huan's electronic road pricing system was put into use, named AutoToll .

However, this still sets a record for the world's first electronic road pricing system

The specific implementation method of this non-stop toll collection system is: when the vehicle passes through the toll station at a lower speed, the transceiver placed on the windshield of the car will send a signal to the sensor of the toll point, so that without contact, the system will record the date, time and other data that the vehicle passes, and complete an electronic transaction.

Of the 13 toll booths in the Shing Mun Tunnel, 8 are manual toll booths, while the remaining 5 are automated toll booths using the electronic road pricing system, which will be slightly cheaper than the standard fare of HK$5.

Roughly estimated, the average time for an ordinary car to pass through the manual toll booth is 14 seconds, and if the electronic road toll collection system is used to pay the fee, the average time to pass through the toll booth is only 3 seconds, that is, each trip can save 11 seconds.

In addition to improving road capacity and avoiding the hassle of change that can easily arise from using cash transactions, the electronic road pricing system also caters to the environmental philosophy that Mr. The richest man has been advocating.

Because according to the test report of experts, if all vehicles use the electronic road pricing system to pay for the fee, the average fuel consumption savings per vehicle through the electronic road pricing system lane are about 0.0314 liters per trip, the hydrocarbon emissions are reduced by about 0.7 grams per vehicle, the carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 4.7 grams per vehicle, and the nitric oxide emissions are reduced by 0.3 grams per vehicle.

It has to be said that the ever-increasing concept of environmental protection has, to a certain extent, eliminated the vigilance of Hong Kong people against the electronic road pricing system.

It is not difficult to see from these development status that in the application of Xiangjiang electronic currency, Tang Huan's "Octopus" and Xiangjiang Metro's "universal stored-value ticket" are the decisive forces, the former has a large "territory", and the latter has the innate convenience of "franchise", and the scale is slightly superior.

However, like Chunghwa Bus, which has been mired in serious labor disputes and has been unable to resolve them for a long time, and the quality of its services has deteriorated significantly, this kind of conservative elements who still monopolize most of the Hong Kong Island bus franchise cannot ignore its role because of its negative performance, unless those monopoly resources are handed over to more enterprising operators, but this can only be done by the Hong Kong government.

After the final promotion of his personal appearance, the vast majority of interests were compromised to a balance point acceptable to all parties, and Tang Huan finally announced at the press conference that a variety of electronic money systems, including universal stored value tickets, will be unified with Octopus on one network, becoming the world's most successful electronic money application system, and making a model and reference object for the world.

When the reporter hoped to get a formal answer, that is, after many years, the "Octopus", which finally dominated the world, could bring benefits to ordinary people, Tang Huan replied very concisely, "Convenience is a cliché, I won't go into details, I just want to emphasize one point, everyone who consumes on our network will be more able to get preferential feedback in the form of points." For example, the consumption points you earn in different places such as supermarkets, shopping malls, restaurants, subway convenience stores, etc., can be added together to play a wider role. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan quipped: "If you ask questions from the perspective of participating merchants, the answer is more business opportunities; If you ask from the perspective of the whole of Hong Kong, the answer is that after the further success of Octopus, this experience can be packaged and sold internationally, which is at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars per order. ”

……

The ambition of the richest man, more precisely, for Hong Kong, can be described as overflowing. After the gesture of waving and smiling was put on the front page by major media, almost everyone felt the bright sunshine.

You must know that the current Xiangjiang is a trend of scattering and fleeing, and the group of people who still haven't left are nothing more than nostalgic for the status that has been managed here with great difficulty - the fact is clear, as long as the elites have no reason for being denied, they can find a new comfortable nest, but they are also relegated to ordinary rich people and lose the aura of the powerful.

Now that Tang Huan has made it clear that he will continue to invest in Xiangjiang, and he is still optimistic about the prospects here, those who are really worried about the prospects of Xiangjiang have suddenly found the backbone, and the huge sense of loss caused by the outflow wave represented by the relocation of HSBC has finally been filled.

Well, that's enough, whoever dares to force the richest man to make a so-called statement, that is, he can't get along with everyone - it's also people's freedom not to make a statement!

This kind of support suddenly broke out when Tang Huan attended the opening ceremony of the Xiangjiang Avenue of Stars.

Tang Huan continued, "I have two visions for this visit to Hong Kong, one is to develop the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate into a smart industry hub, and the other is to build the Avenue of Stars into a cultural business card, so as to match the international status of Hong Kong's film development achievements at this stage. ”

There is nothing to avoid, the Xiangjiang Walk of Fame was built in imitation of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the United States, anyway, Tang Huan's identity is a veritable Hollywood tycoon, and it is very handy to do.

The project is located in the waterfront garden of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and is sponsored by the richest man with HK$40 million out of his own pocket, with the support and comprehensive construction of the tourism, recreation and culture departments of the Hong Kong government, and the Hong Kong Film Awards Association.

Truth be told, although the opening ceremony was crowded, it was really not too popular on weekdays - there are many good places to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour, and this is not bad.

The Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Garden is divided into two parts: the eastern location was formerly part of Hung Hom Bay, which became land with the Tsim Sha Tsui East reclamation project in the late 1960s; The western location was formerly part of the Kowloon-Canton Railway's track connecting Ho Man Tin and Tsim Sha Tsui Station. After the Kowloon-Canton Railway was converted to Hung Hom Station, the tracks were dismantled and the original site was used for cultural and commercial purposes, and the 1,600-metre-long waterfront promenade was one of the facilities.

In terms of opening time, the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Garden is also divided into two phases: the first phase is the eastern part of the park along Salisbury Road, which opened in 1982; The western part of the country was opened at the same time as the Heung Kong Cultural Centre last year.

The Xiangjiang Avenue of Stars took advantage of this opportunity to be fully put into use, and selected a good place on the promenade that was enough to accommodate 100 commemorative plaques and built it.

If you want to be on the list here and leave your handprints, you have to be a veteran who has made significant contributions to the Hong Kong film industry and has a top position in the Hong Kong film industry.

The qualifications are selected by the Heung Kong Film Awards Association and its affiliates, together with the Film Fortnightly, and are subject to the approval of the Walk of Fame Management Committee.

The first batch of filmmakers on the commendation list are all living or deceased veterans, such as Guan Dexing, Shi Jian, Cao Dahua, Xin Ma Shizeng, Ren Jianhui, Red Line Girl, Xia Meng, Li Hanxiang and other actors and directors who were influential in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as bigwigs such as Li Minwei, Lu Yuntao, and Shao Yifu.

Obviously, the lineup on the Xiangjiang Avenue of Stars will increase year by year, but it will only be such a large-scale recruitment in the first few years, and it will definitely be tightened in the future. After all, achievement and status take time to settle.

Many of the dozen or so winners who came to enjoy the glory have moved to Canada, the United Kingdom and other places sooner or later, and now it is very rare to appear in public, and the busy reporters are sweating, but they are still happy.

In the process of assisting Shao Yifu to leave his handprints, Zha Xiaoxin, who has already begun to have the title of "Mother of the Paparazzi" at this stage, took the opportunity to come over and asked tentatively: "Tang Sheng has also worked hard for the development of the Xiangjiang film industry, I don't know when he will be able to leave his handprints?" ”

"I'm looking forward to that moment, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait a long time." Tang Huan laughed, "At least I have to wait for Zou Wenhuai, Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Zhou Yanfa, Xu Ke and others to be praised before I can barely take my turn." ”

Cheng Long, Sammo Hung and others, who rushed back by plane to cheer, were not far away, and when they heard the richest man affirm himself so much, his face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and he was swept away by the hard work of being tired into a dog.

"Tang Sheng is so humble!" Zha Xiaoxin said with a smile: "I guess, you still have to line up behind Miss Lin Qingfang." ”

Tang Huan didn't care about the gossip that the other party deliberately created, and nodded seriously: "Of course I can't compare with an accomplished actress like her." ”

……

I have to say that these media people who create gossip have their own unique skills. In the next overwhelming praise of merit, Zha Xiaoxin, who also gave beautiful words, also summarized a ranking in the form of salary.

Cheng Long, who finally succeeded in breaking into Hollywood for the second time, started with 8 million; Zhou Yan, who took a circle of actors, sent 4 million plus dividends; Hong Jinbao 4 million; Leslie Cheung 4 million; Andy Lau 3 million; Xu Guanwen 2 million; Alan Tam 2 million; Jacky Cheung 900,000 ......

The most astonishing thing is that Zhou Xingchi, which is rapidly becoming popular, starts at 4 million!

Female stars will naturally not be left behind: Lin Qing, who also brushed the actress around, has 4 million flaws; Anita Mui 1.5 million; Zhong Chuhong 1.2 million; Zhang Manyu 1 million; Wang Zuxian 1 million; Guan Zhilin 900,000 ......

Even Gong Li, who came to Xiangjiang from the mainland to seek further development, did not fall - 500,000.

Of course, this is just eye-catching gossip, not to mention the authority, some of the stars who have been brought in are purely grandstanding.

For example, Michelle Yeoh is still being the young grandmother of the Pan family; Liu Jialing also married into a wealthy family; With a price tag of 900,000 yuan, there is no possibility of special filming, and she already has the aura of a beauty pageant champion and a female star, and she is busy shuttling between the mainland and Xiangjiang as Tang Huan's agent.

……

Mr. The richest man went around Xiangjiang, brought positive energy, swept away the gray area, and it was time to move elsewhere, so the people who wanted to meet him sharpened their heads more and more to find a way.

Zhong Huagong, Zhong Huasheng, and the newly selected Tsim Sha Tsui East boss Cheng Yaoxing finally got such an opportunity in the "bathhouse".

……

The long road is long for me to break,

With a body of boldness and a hot bowel,

Find yourself and your true feelings,

The place where you stop is considered home.

……

"This drum beat is really exciting, how can I feel that there is no such song in the record store." Cheng Yaoxing, who escaped the catastrophe because he ran to Haojiang Racing, shook his head and sang without knowing the sky.

"This is Tang Sheng's self-amusement, of course you can't find it outside." The receptionist explained lightly, "The facilities here are world-class, so you can enjoy yourself while you wait." ”

Zhong Huagong grabbed Cheng Yaoxing, who was eager to try, and replied with a smile: "No need, let's just wait while drinking tea." ”

Although Cheng Yaoxing was not very happy, he didn't have much to say on this occasion, so he could only wait.

I don't know how many times I hummed "The long road is long", and then I saw a slender figure walking out of the end of the corridor.

Looking at Zhang Min, who hurriedly erected the collar of the men's shirt to block the mark on his neck, Zhong Huagong smiled gently and asked, "Miss Zhang, is Tang Sheng okay over there?" ”

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while." Hurry back~ asked a good Zhang Min, and replied with a red face.

……

ps: It's really dizzy, "back ~ ask" is also a harmonious word, can you tell me, why? (To be continued.) )
