Chapter 0401: Test the power on the treasure island
Just by his words and demeanor, Lin Qingbian could judge that the two uninvited guys in front of him were by no means serious.
Therefore, after hearing the other party gag something apologetic, she cautiously did not accomplish anything.
Fortunately, these two people did not continue to entangle, and dropped the sentence "Please Miss Lin to prepare for filming", and then walked out with a swagger.
Lin Qingbian hurriedly closed the door, and his heart palpitated for a long time before he completely came back to his senses.
Seeing the other party's travel bag on the coffee table, Lin Qingbian carefully opened the zipper, and what caught his eye was stacks of colorful banknotes and a script sandwiched in the middle.
Seeing this scene, Lin Qingbian couldn't help but feel a little stupid, she had been almost ten years younger since she was full of shadows, and she had never encountered such a situation.
"Isn't this forcing others to film!" Thinking of the coy attitude of the two people just now, Lin Qingbian was so frightened that tears flashed in his eyes.
After calming down a little, Lin Qingbian walked quickly to the phone, planning to contact Tang Huan, and when he encountered this kind of trouble that suddenly appeared, of course he had to find his own man to rely on.
Fortunately, at this time, the female assistant came back after shopping, which made Lin Qingfang, who had a companion, feel more or less at ease.
……
After seeing that Tang Huan's company has high-tech product manufacturing plants, video game amusement parks, etc., in Japan, the 100-person visiting group that has witnessed the listing of Taidong has become more and more like the right person, and he happily returned to Xiangjiang to help Tang Huan build momentum.
Tang Huan didn't accompany him, because he didn't want to go to Xiangjiang early to be applauded, and it was not too late for his subordinates to deal with the matter almost before he reappeared.
Anyway, the situation is under control. First of all, on the premise that it has already won. Observe which forces will jump out and stand in opposition to themselves; Then during the absence of the Governor of Hong Kong. announced the completion of the acquisition; Finally, before the end of the Falklands War, the asset restructuring plan was determined and the shareholders' meeting was held.
However, some shareholders in London could not accept Jardine Matheson's name change, and awkwardly refused to leave to join Hong Kong.
For these people who don't know the times, Tang Huan just sneered secretly, "Let's come step by step." Sort out the asset relationship and organizational structure first, and then clean you up. ”
In addition, Tang Huan chose to stay in Japan for a few more days because he had several cooperation to discuss in addition to inspecting some investments.
The first step in the multimedia PC project naturally started with a relatively simple sound session.
Long before Fangyuan computer can understand music CDs and CD-ROM, Tang Huan realized the effect of electronic musical instruments on AppleII and Fangyuan computer through the combination of function expansion cards and software, and there is a technology called MusicalInstrumentDigitalInterface - MIDI that is the digital interface of musical instruments.
By the end of the 1970s, electronic musical instruments were already available in North America, Europe and Japan. It has been popularized to the point where ordinary people's spending power can bear it, but with the prosperity of the market. The increasing problem of incompatibility between manufacturers and the different standards of manufacturers has naturally caused great difficulties for consumers' interconnection needs for electronic musical instruments.
For example, the Apple II and Fangyuan computers must launch different versions of the system if they want to control electronic musical instruments produced by different manufacturers.
In June 1981, Ikutaro Titaro, the founder of Roland Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer of electronic musical instruments, equipment and software, founded in 1972, proposed the idea of standardization to Tom Oberheim, the founder of Oberheim Electronics in the United States, who in turn proposed the idea of standardization to Dave Smith, president of SequentialCircuits. Dave. Smith discussed the matter.
In the original time and space, Dave. Smith is known as the father of MIDI, and naturally he did a lot of groundbreaking standardization work, and he was very efficient.
By October 1981, there were three more participants in the discussion: Yamaha, Korg, and Kawai Musical Instrument Manufacturing Company, and Tang Huan officially joined at the end of the first quarter of this year.
Following this trend, the MIDI community is getting bigger and bigger, even though the standard hasn't yet taken shape
Unlike the digital data stream of MP3 and other sound waveforms that were popular in time and space, MIDI is a standard communication protocol.
It enables manufacturers of electronic musical instruments to establish methods for exchanging information and control signals between computer music programs, synthesizers, and other electronic audio equipment.
A concrete example of what MIDI means for personal computers can be used to make the video games that EA is developing for Fangyuan computers more expressive in terms of music.
Tang Huan has always attached great importance to the control of industry standards, and there are many companies involved in MIDI in Japan, so he naturally wants to use this time to communicate, especially Yamaha.
Just when Tang Huan was busy with this matter unhurriedly, his subordinates reported that Lin Qingfang, who was currently on the treasure island, had an urgent matter to contact him.
Although there is no mobile phone that is easy to carry and can be used all over the world, Tang Huan still created a set of reliable global communication solutions composed of satellite telephone networks and public telephone networks for himself as a trapeze, as long as there is an emergency, it will not take long for him to receive the message.
Lin Qingbian is not an unreliable person, since he clearly said that there is an urgent matter, then Tang Huan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly picked up the phone and called.
After hearing Lin Qingbian tell the story in a panic, Tang Huan immediately frowned angrily, and said in his heart, could it be that there are black forces on the treasure island now, who dare to get involved in the film industry so blatantly?
"Is your place safe now? I'll have someone help you change places right away. Tang Huan consulted Lin Qingfang's opinion.
"Don't be so troublesome, it was just careless just now, so I let those two uninvited guests in. Actually, my accommodation is quite complete in terms of security. "After contacting your own man. Lin Qingbian felt a lot more at ease.
The other party said that he had not said it. Who are they? Tang Huan continued to ask.
"Nope. The two men put down a bag of money and scripts. After I was ready to act, I left. Lin Qingfang, who recalled it a little, replied definitely, "It's all because I was too flustered at that time, I didn't think about it, and I didn't dare to ask." ”
"You don't have to blame yourself, safety comes first, isn't there a script. Filming always has to be recorded, and through this clue, I don't believe that I can't find out the other party. Tang Huan snorted, "You rest in peace, I will go to Treasure Island tomorrow." ”
After a few more sticky words, Lin Qingbian reluctantly put down the phone, and when he thought that he would be able to see Tang Huan tomorrow, his mood couldn't help but become bright and bright.
After having the backbone in his heart, Lin Qingbian came to leisure, picked up the script and looked at it. See that it is an anti-Japanese movie, called "Red Pink Corps". It was so vulgar that she frowned.
Especially when he saw that his heroine turned out to be a female bandit with only one eye, Lin Qingbian was even more disgusted, threw away the script casually, and began to think about how to deal with this matter, his man was already busy, and he couldn't let him worry too much about such a trivial matter.
Unconsciously, Lin Qing's tiredness swelled up, if it weren't for the female assistant by her side, she might have dealt with it directly on the sofa in the living room for a night.
It was only at this moment that Lin Qingbian deeply realized how important the female assistant Tang Huan arranged for himself was, at least in the current environment, with someone to talk to as a companion, he was much more courageous, and this night was not so difficult.
……
The next day, Lin Qingbian, who didn't sleep very well, woke up early, because she had something in her heart, she didn't want to lie in bed anymore, so she got up to wash.
At this time, someone rang the doorbell, and the female assistant, who also got up early, walked over to check, and Lin Qingfang, who was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, heard her say in surprise, "Mr. Tang has arrived." ”
"Isn't it a four-hour flight from Japan to Treasure Island, why did you arrive so quickly?" Lin Qingbian rushed into the living room regardless of it and asked in surprise.
Tang Huan smiled slightly, "I have Silicon Valley No. 1, can't I leave early?" ”
Lin Qingbian was instantly moved, and said with red eyes in Tang Huan's arms: "Doesn't that mean that you spent the early hours of the morning on the plane." ”
"The toothpaste foam on your mouth is on my clothes." Tang Huan smiled softly and gently patted Lin Qingbian's back a few times.
"Oops, I was brushing my teeth." Lin Qingbian screamed, broke free from Tang Huan's arms, and ran back into the bathroom.
Tang Huan's gaze fell on the travel bag on the coffee table, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
He walked over and flipped through it, a pocket of money, which looked quite impactful, but in the eyes of billionaires, it was not worth mentioning at all.
1 million Taiwan dollars may not be enough to convert into 30,000 US dollars, what is there to show.
Tang Huan snorted disdainfully, picked up the script and flipped through it, "The Red Pink Corps" seems to be a little familiar, but he can't remember the relevant details for a while, and he thinks that this work should not be much better than the unknown.
But as long as there is this name, there are clues to trace, and I want to see who dares to force my female daughter to act.
After operating for such a long time, it's time to test the power in Treasure Island.
Tang Huan was thinking about it, when there was a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose, Lin Qingfang, who came over on tiptoe, took the initiative to give a fragrant kiss and asked softly, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" ”
"What do you have here? Deal with a bite. Tang Huan nodded and asked.
"The porridge I boiled yesterday, and the sugar I bought." Lin Qingbian replied with a twist, "I've been eating out for the past two days, and I haven't had much fire at home, and the ingredients have not been prepared." ”
Tang Huan smiled slightly, and did not break Lin Qing's mediocre cooking skills, "Breakfast, it should be simpler." ”
"Then I'll serve you a bowl." Lin Qingbian happily went to find the dishes and chopsticks.
"After a while, I'll go to the information bureau to find out what the details of this movie are, and you just treat it as if nothing happened and you don't have to participate in it." Tang Huan drank the porridge and told carefully.
"I understand, you're looking out for me." Lin Qingbian nodded obediently in agreement.
……
With the relationship between Tang Huan and Mr. Song, he saw each other for the first time.
"Oh, Boss Tang, Brother Tang, you haven't been to Treasure Island for a long time, and you miss my brother." Mr. Song, who laughed loudly, was very courteous.
"That's true, mainly because some of the atmosphere on the treasure island makes me uncomfortable, so in order to make everyone's face look better, I can only avoid it as much as possible."
Tang Huan sighed and complained bitterly with dissatisfaction, "Speaking in detail, even if I have no credit for the computer information construction of Baodao, I should have hard work, but I didn't expect that in exchange for resistance, what BIG5 Chinese character coding scheme, Chinese five software suites, is it clearly aimed at my Tang code and office software to suppress." ”
"For the sake of the performance of its own intellectual property rights, some means are the proper meaning of the topic." Mr. Song snorted, "However, brother, you are such a hard bone, they can't gnaw at all." ”
Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, "I'm here to ask my brother for a favor this time, and help me check what the movie "Pink Corps" is?" ”
"No problem." After Mr. Song casually ordered, he asked curiously, "Brother, what are you making trouble about?" ”
"Yesterday, someone sent two thugs to break into Lin Qingbian's house, threw down a bag of money and a script with this name, and left." Tang Huan sneered, "I especially want to know what kind of sacredness is doing things so arrogantly." According to this trend, if you force a script for a erotic film, can't you not shoot it? Or just exchange that bag of money for two bullets and call people for nothing? ”
As soon as he heard this situation, Mr. Song immediately became serious, and celebrities such as Gaine Lin Qingfang, who are famous in Southeast Asia, have long been an important part of Baodao's external publicity.
Now that there is something about being forced to film, once it is publicized, it is really easy to say and unpleasant, and it will be a big trouble.
Thinking of this, Mr. Song quickly picked up the phone and urged.
The top attaches so much importance to it, and the bottom naturally works very hard, and quickly sends the information to Mr. Song's desk.
Seeing that this movie belonged to Dengkui Film Company and the producer was Yang Pankui, Tang Huan couldn't help but think about it.
"The film looks quite positive." Mr. Song breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whether it's positive or not, it's not the point, the key is to break the rules of doing things." Tang Huan expressed his opinion leisurely, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"What are you going to do?" Mr. Song snorted and asked.
"I've made some friends on Treasure Island in the past two years, and now I really want to see if everyone is willing to sell my face to help." Tang Huan replied meaningfully.
"Brother, it's better not to make too much of a fuss, otherwise it won't end well." Mr. Song reminded worriedly.
"It's difficult to show whether your friend has the strength or not." Tang Huan shook his head disappreciatively, "Actually, I'm giving you a chance to fight the autumn breeze, there is a sapphire song hall in Kaohsiung, I don't know if you've heard of it?" (To be continued......)
