Christina's public image has migrated in less than a decade from a ruined daughter who spent a lot of money on her father's wealth, to a media laughing stock who inherited the family's power but was ambitious and talented, to a strong woman in the business world who has revived her family business and is thriving.

This clear trajectory has taken the media outlets that have been chasing her all sorts of gossip by surprise, and many reporters have tried to find out why she has become famous, but to no avail.

Fortunately, there is still a lot of entertainment news that the female boat king can be used for the public's pastime, such as the recent air-swallowing buying and buying style shown at AC Milan Club, which has been watched sideways.

However, this time, no one sarcastically ridiculed Christina's extravagance, at most she said a few strange words about the female ship king's "investment never considers risk".

Since Paris has become a major center of Christina's vast industry, it is only natural that there will be no shortage of public relations relations for her at the top of France, and François Mitterrand, who won the French presidential election in 1981 - that is, last year. Mitterrand, and sent his wife, Danielle Mitterrand, to Danielle. Mitterrand, to visit Olympus, the technology conglomerate of the female ship king.

For the upcoming visit of the French First Lady, Tang Huan and Cristina naturally have to prepare carefully.

During this period, Tang Huan dealt with the affairs of the industry under his name by the way, and found that the situation in some areas was not optimistic.

For example, the cheap PC market faced by the generation of Fangyuan computers priced under $1,000 is dominated by Commodore and Texas Instruments, and the competitive pressure brought about by the price war is fierce.

If you arrange the product line of Fangyuan computer from low to high in the price range. The lowest-end product is obviously the Tandy computer that costs under $500.

It has been re-polished by Zheru technology. The new life of Tangdi Computer. It already has the pedigree of Fangyuan computer standards, and is seamlessly compatible with the entire Fangyuan computer family.

This is evidenced by the fact that it can run a basic version of software such as spreadsheet CGrid, word processing WordEasy, the EBase-based home finance system, and even a special learning version of the programming tool TurboPASCAL, which is absolutely inexpensive.

But in the face of less than $300 product quotations from companies with vertical industry manufacturing advantages, such as Commodore and Texas Instruments, Tangdi Computer really can't talk about winning.

For this product category that is not in his plan, Tang Huan's attitude is to be too lazy to care.

Since RadioShack still has a passion for the PC industry, let it be. So as not to chill people's hearts, as long as it is not lost, the right should be to expand the user base for Zheru software.

The product line above Tangdy's computer is a generation of Fangyuan computers priced under $1,000, and the range of $1,000 to $2,000 is filled by Apple's Apple II.

In addition to the American IBM-PC, the competitors of these products are local brands such as Aikang Computer in Europe.

Japan's Fangyuan computer compatible manufacturers, using their own technology and cost advantages, hold the range of $1,600 to $3,500.

The orthodox second-generation Fangyuan personal computer and Fangyuan portable computer are priced at more than $2,800.

As for the Fangyuan laptop, which costs no less than $10,000. It can only be said that it is still a relatively special product category, mainly facing special customer groups such as the military and government departments.

The higher price of Fangyuan personal workstation, Fangyuan network server, Fangyuan supercomputer. It has its own market operation characteristics, that is, it does not have the obvious consumer product attributes of low-end personal computers, and the customer group is more professional, and it also has obvious competition with traditional computer companies such as DEC, IBM, and Clay.

The entire product line, at present, Fangyuan laptops are a unique business, there are almost no competitors, and the rest of the products have to fight to win the market survival space.

At this stage, the most popular personal computer products in Europe are in the range of around $1,000 and below.

This phenomenon forced Tang Huan to look away from the enterprise market with broader profit margins, so as to think about how to reduce costs while maintaining quality.

Although the pressure is not small, Fangyuan Computer is still able to cope with it overall.

However, the network communication electronics company, a company specializing in telecommunications equipment, and the Olympus Group have not been able to develop the European market in a satisfactory way.

In California, there is Pacific Communications in the care of either overt or covert; In Asia, Singapore, Treasure Island, Xiangjiang, also helped, so Netcom Electronics can be called a smooth sail, such as telecom program-controlled switches and other products, sales are quite good, but in Europe by Siemens, Alcatel and other traditional powerhouses squeezed hard.

"You can't rush, you have to take it step by step." Tang Huan put down the document, shook his head, and picked up the phone to inquire about the situation of the Xiangjiang Telephone Company.

In addition to the tariff concession plan to start in the second half of the year, Heung Kong Telephone Company has also launched a project that Tang Huan believes is not too technically difficult - a pager service with full English support and limited Chinese support.

The pager is not a new thing in Xiangjiang, and because the initial users are mainly special groups such as police inspectors and call girls, it has a good reputation, which is in line with the saying - stomach ache and complain about the stove prince.

In fact, in Xiangjiang, a densely populated land, pagers were still very practical before the popularization of mobile phones.

Compared with mobile communication terminals, it is a perfect match with traditional fixed-line telephones, not only without any competition, but also can further stimulate users' demand for fixed-line telephones.

In addition, Tang Huan, who became the head of the first consortium in Xiangjiang through Qinhe, also wanted to help solve some outstanding social problems by the way - a large number of operators needed for the pager business, which could virtually bring employment opportunities to many girls and children.

The small-budget movie "Pretty Girl" released in April this year caused a sensation. swept away more than 10 million at the box office. It is because it exposes the special social phenomenon of "fish ball girl".

Even developed countries such as Europe and the United States cannot solve the fundamental problem of the widening gap between the rich and the poor and the employment rate rising and falling like a roller coaster. Of course, Xiangjiang, one of the "Four Asian Tigers", is not immune, and many low-level groups have actually become the flower fertilizer of the city.

Family disharmony caused by poor economic conditions, and then insufficient care for young people, leading them to run away from home or even go astray, is a social phenomenon that cannot be ignored in Hong Kong at this stage.

When "Pretty Girl" tore open this scar, some responsible Hong Kong elites were greatly shaken and began to pay attention to the increasingly serious problem of teenagers.

They found. In Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island, Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok in Kowloon, the erotic industry has indeed spread with a new attitude, that is, the business method of "fish ball stalls".

The problem of young women working in erotic places has existed for a long time, but the age of the "fish ball girl" is relatively young.

According to an unofficial survey, 70 percent of the "fish girls" are students. They are generally under the age of 16 and work part-time in these establishments on a voluntary basis, especially during the summer months.

Information from the Juvenile and Missing Persons Liaison Unit of the Criminal Investigation Headquarters of the Heung Kong Police also proves from another angle that there are indeed quite a number of girls under the age of 16 working in these "fish ball stalls".

In the 1980-1981 year. The Heung Kong police received a total of 3,702 reports of missing women, 94 per cent of whom were recovered. Of the 174 people who were found by the police, were working in bars, dance halls or other establishments, or had been employed in those places at one time, and more than a dozen girls were under the age of 16.

According to another report by the Heung Kong Police, an average of 35 to 40 underage girls are arrested by the police in Wan Chai every month during the anti-pornography operation.

There is no doubt that the figures in the Xiangjiang Police Bulletin are conservative because they are not found by the police, or the parents have not reported the number of children who have left home, are not included.

To be honest, when Tang Huan saw this kind of content reported by the Xiangjiang media, he was just as shocked as those elites.

After all, in the original time and space, what he heard the most was the glamorous rhetoric that Xiangjiang movies had been brilliant for ten years, that there were many rich Chinese in Xiangjiang, and so on.

It doesn't matter if you don't know, now that the facts are in front of you, of course Tang Huan wants to show his influence in this time and space.

The work quality of the pager operator is required, the level of secondary education is enough to cope, and the training can be used to work, which is just right for business and public welfare.

As for the bad perception of pagers in Xiangjiang society, it is better to leave it to the star artists of DreamWorks to correct the publicity, and you can also put a soft advertisement in the fashion drama, which is not difficult at all.

Of course, the pace and popularity of the pager system is also affected by the cost of owning the product.

It's cost again, Tang Huan couldn't help but shake his head again.

When Tang Dashan compassionate asked about the progress of the pager business of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, Weng Jingjing called and proudly announced that she had been admitted to Xiangjiang University.

After hearing the news, Tang Huan couldn't help but admire, and said in his heart that this little girl's qualifications may not be worse than Zhuang Menghua, and the university admission rate in Xiangjiang at this stage can be called one in a hundred, and this beautiful young woman has accelerated to achieve this goal through self-study, and her IQ is really high enough.

"Is there a reward?" Weng Jingjing was very arrogant and asked for credit.

"No problem, you say." Tang Huan laughed heartily, "Why don't you go to the United States to play and visit my birthplace." ”

"It's right?" Weng Jingjing corrected with a chewing word.

Tang Huan was even happier when he was complimented, and urged casually: "After you finish entertaining activities such as the teacher appreciation banquet, let's leave as soon as possible, if you go early, you can still play in the United States for a while longer." ”

"Don't mention the thanksgiving banquet, as soon as I hear this word, my heart is tight." Weng Jingjing muttered quietly.

"What's the matter, are you scared of this kind of occasion? You've seen a big scene. Tang Huan quipped.

"You don't know." Weng explained: "On July 2, a student named Leung Wai-sum waited for a taxi home from outside the hotel at about 11 p.m. after attending a teacher appreciation banquet in Tsim Sha Tsui, and she was only 17 years old. After this incident was reported, the whole Xiangjiang people were panicked, and it was said that there had been a record of disappearance before. ”

With a click, the pen that had been turning between the fingers rolled onto the table.

Tang Huan, who was thoughtful, suddenly struck a lightning bolt in his mind, and muttered to himself, "Nima, this shouldn't have been done by the butcher on a rainy night." ”

"You're scared too." I didn't see Tang Huan speak for a long time, and Weng Jingjing made fun of it.

"I was really scared." Tang Huan said solemnly: "Little brother, let me solemnly tell you, in the recent period, try not to go out at night, and don't take a taxi, use the special car I provided for you, remember?" ”

"Remembered." Weng Jingjing, who didn't know what was going on, instinctively agreed.

"You have to remember." Tang Huan admonished again, "Let's do this first, and I'll inform others." ”

Putting down the phone, Tang Huan thought for a while, and then contacted Lu Xiaohu in Xiangjiang to mention this missing person case and ask him to strengthen security measures.

"By the way, you can contact our people in the Xiangjiang police, this may be an opportunity to solve the case and make meritorious contributions." Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "Lin Guoyun, a taxi driver, a hobby of photography, a negative processing shop, follow these four clues and investigate secretly." ”

As one of Tang Huan's henchmen, Lu Xiaohu didn't ask anything, and immediately agreed to do so.

After ending the call, Tang Huan let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that he should quickly let this case come to light, otherwise, although he is currently in Paris, which is thousands of miles away from the Xiangjiang River, he still feels uncomfortable, as if he has goosebumps on his body.

The IT affairs fell behind for a while, and Tang Huan then paid attention to the film arrangement.

After testing the waters, Tang Huan is already familiar with bringing DreamWorks movies to the United States, but there are still some things out of control in Europe.

Previously, he only entrusted Tan Jiaming's "Love Killing" to the operation of the French company Gaumon, and there was a layer of relationship in between, of course, it is difficult to directly understand the situation of Chinese films in the European market.

Tang Huan clearly remembers that in the 1980s, including Cheng Long's "Fast Food Truck" and "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", movies were all released by Golden Harvest to West Germany, Portugal and other European countries.

According to this inference, even if Chinese films are niche in these areas, they should have room to survive.

So, Tang Huan planned to take advantage of the global popularity of "E.T. Alien" to bring some private goods to the Chinese movies in his hands. (To be continued......)
