People are too good to break and have troubles, and this is the case with the richest man in Tang - with his well-informed old and spicy vision, he must admit that Cao Xingcheng is not an ordinary effort for public relations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, everyone understands that this kind of "heart" will never achieve the effect of determining the success or failure of things, but it can really enhance personal friendship.

For this matter, Mr. The richest man had to stay in Baodao for two more days, and from this, he paid attention to the survival of singers such as Meng Tingwei and Zhang Yusheng, so as not to cause an unexpected tragedy because the circle of Baodao was too dark - you know, after VCD, he still has big moves in the layout of the music industry.

At this time, the secret negotiation on the creation of a superstar on the Xiangjiang side also had a result.

Seeing that there was no unexpected name on the fax, Tang Huan shook his head, and had to admit that under the current situation, there was really not much room for choice.

In addition to Andy Lau, the "middleman", DreamWorks is Zhang Xueyou, and TVB is Li Ming.

To be honest, these people's entry into the industry has something to do with TVB.

Zhang Xueyou became popular as Guan Zhengjie's successor, and the sales of his first two albums were several platinums, and he and Lu Fang became a new generation of popular idol singers.

But because success came too easily, Zhang Xueyou was lost in the bizarre entertainment industry, and his career fell to the bottom in 1987 and 1988, causing people to be decadent, soaking in Stormwind City all day long, drinking heavily.

It was at this stage that DreamWorks extended a helping hand and pulled Zhang Xueyou out of the abyss and put his career back on track, so that he now has a dilemma, that is, he must choose one of the two as the focus of his career and develop it with all his might.

Li Ming and Andy Lau's experiences are a bit similar, winning the third place in the 1986 "Rookie Singing Contest", so after entering TVB, they were arranged to play supporting roles in TV dramas, including some villains, and were even hidden by TVB and ran to Treasure Island for development.

may be handsome, and the opportunity will be sent to the door by himself, Li Ming's career has still developed, and if he starred in a TVB TV series, he can't be a supporting role, and last year he played the role of Lin Yilong in "People on the Edge", which attracted much attention, and became popular because of the episode "If This Is Love".

Now, Li Ming and Andy Lau's idol styles are similar, fascinating young female fans to death.

Of course, Tang Huan has no opinion on this plan that balances the interests of DreamWorks and TVB - except that he feels that the "Three Heavenly Kings" are really awkward, but it is too troublesome to add candidates, so he can only deal with it like this first.

TVB and DreamWorks secretly reached this agreement, which means that from now on, the resources controlled by both parties will be fully tilted towards these three people, one of the major manifestations of which is to win various awards.

Although such an arrangement will inevitably suppress the opportunities for others to come forward, on the whole, today's Chinese-speaking entertainment industry does need banner figures to lead.

Therefore, Tang Huan came up with this idea from the interests of TVB, and rarely unanimously supported it.

At the same time, Cao Xingcheng announced that UMC will introduce the world's most advanced 8-inch wafer technology, creating a precedent for the semiconductor industry in Baodao - the implication is that TSMC has the support of his father, and he is not bad, and he has the backing of his brother to press you again.

……

The richest man no longer paid attention to the open and secret battles in the treasure island circle, and sat on his Silicon Valley No. 1 to go to RB due to the slightly postponed trip, and he flew directly to Fukuoka, the largest city in the Kyushu region, to attend the opening ceremony of the Fukuoka Dome Stadium.

The so-called "dome" refers to the arched roof of a building.

This is popular now, and Fukuoka Dome Stadium is the second egg of RB after Tokyo Dome, which is a representative work of Tang Huan's investment in RB real estate.

The Nikkei Stock Average has evaporated about 40 percent from its point on December 29 of the previous year to about 23,000 points now. And this trend of the bursting of the stock market bubble is gradually beginning to affect the real estate market.

However, Tang Huan plans to keep the Fukuoka Dome first. The 76 billion yen, more than 35,000-seat stadium was jointly developed by him and Daiei, the national supermarket chain of RB. Its deteriorating performance could no longer be held back in the second half of last year, so it had to divest some non-core assets to save the emergency, and the richest man took over the rights and interests of the other party, as well as the baseball team.

Masayoshi Son, who greeted Tang Huan, couldn't help but confirm excitedly: "Fukuoka Dome and the Fukuoka Eagles of the RB Professional Baseball Pacific League, really want to use the title for SoftBank?" ”

Baseball is extremely popular in RB, known as the second largest skill in RB sports after sumo, and the commercialization of professional games is also very high, especially the RB Professional Football League has not yet been established, to grab the audience - this is the main reason why Tang Huan decided to stay at the Fukuoka Dome Baseball Stadium by himself, anyway, he also has a professional baseball team in the United States, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is familiar with the operation.

The RB Professional Baseball League allowed the team to change its name due to a change of sponsor, and Tang Huan decided to give this opportunity to expand its popularity to SoftBank, which is growing rapidly.

Masayoshi Son, the founder, has undergone two major changes so far - he has been cured of his fatal chronic hepatitis and has become a naturalized RB national. This makes SoftBank's development have a backbone again, and it is also a veritable RB company.

At the beginning, SoftBank, whose business scope was in the media field, has now been taken advantage of the privatization of the RB telecommunications industry by Tang Huan to extend its tentacles into the communications field.

RB Telecom and Telephone Commune, like its counterparts around the world, has become a big fat piece coveted by everyone by virtue of the profits of monopoly and monopoly. In contrast, the terminally ill RB state-owned railway, in the process of privatization, there are not so many fierce scrambles that everyone wants to bite into.

It was in this situation that SoftBank gained control of the RB state-owned railway communications network and developed into one of the four domestic Internet access companies in RB, along with RB Telecom and Telephone Corporation and other enterprises.

The RB stock market bubble has burst, the real estate bubble is about to burst, and I don't know if the current RB elites have realized that the "lost decade" has begun.

In the view of Mr. the richest man, as the saying goes, you lose what you gain, and SoftBank, which is ready to be in place, is time to become bigger, and brand management is essential.

Therefore, Tang Huan replied with a smile in an affirmative tone: "Of course, and after SoftBank goes public, this part of the assets can still be completely owned by SoftBank." ”

Of course, Son understands the advertising effect of RB Major League Baseball, but he is not satisfied with this, but sees a loophole and suggests to Tang Huan, an important investor who had the opportunity to completely eat SoftBank during his illness but did not do so, and suggested: "If SoftBank wants to develop into a star enterprise recognized by RB in China, some façade projects are still essential, such as proving its international status through an overseas acquisition with sufficient weight." ”

Tang Huan nodded when he heard this, the problem that RB people love will not be immediately retracted because of the collapse of the stock market, and SoftBank really needs to put gold on his face.

However, pragmatic and shrewd people like Tang Huan and Son Masayoshi will definitely not be so fake and empty in operation.

Son added: "This overseas acquisition must not be acquired for the sake of acquisition, SoftBank is not as good as Sony, which acquired Columbia Pictures, Mitsubishi Land that acquired Rockefeller Center, and Panasonic that acquired Universal Pictures, so much squandering capital." This acquisition should be able to bring opportunities and impetus to SoftBank's development immediately. ”

It is really not easy to find such an ideal acquisition target, and it is estimated that top financial services companies such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will be asked to help.

Tang Huan thought for a long time, and slowly spoke: "What do you think, how is the dex?" ”

"Of course then!" Masayoshi Son, who was stunned when he heard this, replied without thinking.

How beautiful DEX is now, Son Masayoshi knows best, and what is even more impressive is the summit forum during the Las Vegas Autumn Fair, where the bigwigs in the IT industry talk and point out the country, not to mention how impassioned.

However, Son immediately hesitated, "With years of dedication to showcasing the latest hardware, software, peripherals, network products and the latest technology of computers, DEX is now considered the number one event in the IT industry, can its shareholders be willing to sell?" ”

"You don't know that." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Sheldon Adelson, the absolute shareholder of DEX, established the Las Vegas Sands Group after buying the famous Las Vegas Sands Hotel and Casino Hotel in 1988, and then built the largest privately owned and operated convention center in the United States last year, the Sands Convention and Exhibition Center, which is obviously shifting the focus of his business and doing better and more profitable business. ”

Son Masayoshi secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit, suppressed his excitement and asked, "I don't know how much money I have to use to win the DEX?" ”

"I really don't know this question, wait until I ask the consultant team." Tang Huan gestured to the assistant, and it didn't take long for the Tang think tank to give the result - the current DEX will not be worth less than 700 million US dollars.

After knowing this result, Son slapped his thigh with confidence, "As long as the size of the capital does not exceed $1 billion, I am sure that SoftBank will get a loan from the bank." ”

"The crux of the matter is how to lobby Sheldon Adelson for the deal." Tang Huan smiled, "This new gambling tycoon has just gotten married for the second time, and I don't know if the honeymoon is over, so we have to be patient." ”

……

While contacting Sheldon Adelson and waiting for a reply, Tang Huan came to Tokyo to take care of some official business.

The bursting of the RB economic bubble will inevitably have a negative impact on the IT budgets of individual companies. It is completely certain that the scale of computer procurement will decline in the past few years.

In the past, RB people only bought the most expensive ones and rarely thought about whether the computer's performance was wasted, but now they definitely have to be more careful.

However, the foundation of RB, after all, is there, and in terms of personal computers alone, the annual sales volume will not be less than 2 million units, especially the position of the world's second largest IT consumer market after the United States, will not be shaken.

Of course, the general trend of Fangyuan computer standards is also as stable as Mount Tai, firmly dominating the RB market.

The video game industry is naturally also an important part of the inspection of the richest man - in the current era of 32-bit game consoles, Nintendo and Sega, who are in the position of the younger brother industry, want to turn over, it is unlikely.

One project that Tang Huan is interested in is the production of the video game Tomb Raider, which he enthusiastically created for Lin Qingfang.

There is no doubt that in this version of "Tomb Raider", the heroine and the story background have been changed to the East, anyway, with the success of the previous "Tomb Phantom" series of movies around the world, the audience of such oriental cultural themes has been laid.

Looking at the 2.5D effect of the game that will be launched before Christmas this year, Tang Huan is very satisfied - his own Lin Beauty. It's busy.

In addition, Tang Huan also visited the research and development progress of NEC's supercomputer under the warm reception of RB officials.

these years. RB and the United States have a sense of wrestling their wrists on supercomputers, and once sat on the throne of the world's fastest computer, but they were soon driven down by the richest man who returned from scientific expeditions in the Arctic and used the Fangyuan supercomputer to preside over the overall situation.

RB is kneeling and licking the virtue of the strong, entertaining the richest man in every detail, hoping that he can give him any pointers during the visit.

In fact, the RISC microprocessor used in the Fangyuan supercomputer - holder, after the successful research and development, was deliberately divided into two branches, one low and one high, the former in Asia, through Zheru Xiangjiang, Sharp, in the form of chips, into China and the richest man in RB Looking at the results of NEC, he can vaguely find the shadow of his own holder system, and it is really easy to express his opinions, and he is so happy that RB people scratch their ears and cheeks.

After teasing these guys, Sheldon Adelson on the American side also gave a happy reply, willing to sell the shares of DEX - he is an absolute shareholder, this statement means that DEX will fall into the hands of SoftBank.

In fact, after Tang Huan and Masayoshi Son arrived in Las Vegas on Silicon Valley One, they successfully reached a deal to acquire DEX for $852 million, which instantly became the focus of the industry. (To be continued.) )
