Pure computer technology, in fact, is very boring.

In order to enliven the atmosphere of the signing, during the next day's event, Tang Huan found Judy? Foster's on-site help was a big surprise for the men who came to buy books and actually planned to see the style of technology idols.

There were about two or three hundred readers who participated, Tang Huan was in charge of signing autographs, and Foster occasionally joined in the fun, but he was very busy.

Tang Huan gave a difficult question about the algorithm to the students in the audience, and the person who mailed the answer to Zheru Company within a week, and was confirmed to have the correct result, could get the opportunity to enter Zheru Company for internship, which is more affordable for many young people who aspire to become IT engineers.

Tang Huan did this, there is a suspicion of public and private use, but the big boss naturally has this right, and the expanding Zheru company does need outstanding talents.

But something went wrong in the middle of the way, and a guy who came in line suddenly said: "Mr. Tang, I am a reporter from the San Francisco Observer, and I have finally found you, can I accept an interview?" ”

This is obviously not in the plan, Tang Huan glanced at the other party unhappily, except for promoting technology and products, he doesn't like to face the media, not to mention that this person must have other plans when he chases here.

In terms of influence, there are two well-known newspapers in the San Francisco area, the San Francisco Chronicle and the San Francisco Examiner.

The San Francisco Observer has a history as the first member of William Hirst's media empire.

The American newspaper tycoon, the only son of mining magnate and Senator George Hirst, was once expelled from Harvard University for his rebellious behavior.

In 1887, Hearst became editor-in-chief of the troubled San Francisco Observer. With his family's financial backing and sensationalist reporting, he quickly turned the Observer into a profitable newspaper and made it a well-known sensationalist newspaper in San Francisco.

In 1895, Hearst marched into New York, created the New York Daily News, and poached all the editors of the Star journal of the New York World, and entered into a fierce competition with Pulitzer, which gave rise to the term "yellow journalism", the highly sensationalist style that symbolized the pursuit of Pulitzer's New York World and Hearst's New York Journal.

To attract readers, Hearst's newspapers are unscrupulous, often fabricating sensational stories, falsifying interviews, employing fake photographs, and distorting the truth.

Relying on top talent, brutal bidding and "yellow journalism", Hearst International Group, founded by Hearst, reached its peak in 1935, with 26 daily newspapers, 17 Sunday daily newspapers, 14 magazines, 3 news agencies, 2 film companies and 8 radio stations in nine cities.

Famous fashion magazines such as Vogue, which targets female readers, 17, Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, which targets the upper classes of society, are all part of the group.

The classic film "Citizen Kane" is based on the life of William Hirst, which shows how successful his media career was.

Hearst's unprecedented success in the media was accompanied by political capital, and he was twice elected to the House of Representatives, but was defeated in his quest for president, mayor of New York City, and governor of New York.

Although he stopped in politics, Hearst could still influence public opinion and politics in the United States. For example, he discriminated against Asian immigrants by using the media tools at his disposal, often using the term "yellowperil" or "yellow peril" to denigrate Chinese immigrants.

Now, more than two decades after Hearst's death, the San Francisco Observer is not so strong.

In the period after World War II and before the 1970s, the San Francisco Chronicle, which focused on in-depth coverage of national and international news in the United States, finally overtook the San Francisco Observer in terms of strength because of its large number of famous columnists, and even reporters who became Kennedy's press secretary and California senator.

According to the original trajectory of time and space, after entering the next century, the San Francisco Chronicle eventually became the property of the Hearst International Group, and the declining San Francisco Observer was transferred to the name of the Chinese Fang family newspaper group.

For the "San Francisco Observer", which is still part of the Hearst International Group, Tang Huan is of course both defensive and jealous, this reporter Nima is sneaky, and it is estimated that he is here to dig up the gossip news between Christina and himself.

Tang Huan didn't move, waved his hand, and replied lightly, "Since you are not a reader, please leave time to others." ”

"Then I'll buy a copy." As soon as the reporter finished speaking, he was politely pulled away by the staff.

This person was very unwilling, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Tang, I just want to ask, what do you say about being shown by a billionaire woman on a private jet worth tens of millions of dollars?" Why is Miss Foster at your book signing? ”

Seeing that Tang Huan's face turned cold, the staff hurriedly used their strength to eat milk and dragged this guy away in embarrassment, which caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

The reporter's sense of smell should not be underestimated, so after the event, Tang Huan gave up his plan to have lunch with Foster and flew back to San Francisco directly.

This time the person who came to pick up the plane was a member of the Tang family, named Tang Wenmao, who is the same generation as Tang Huan, and has been helping his aunt Tang Yun take care of the restaurant, and belongs to one of the few clansmen who have more contact with Tang Huan.

Of course, with the rise of Tang Huan, this relationship quickly became close, and Tang Huan didn't ask too much, some private matters, such as helping Lin Qingfang's brother arrange to study abroad, were all done through this person.

Because of his low-key personality and down-to-earth work, Tang Wenmao gradually won Tang Huan's trust.

This time, he came to pick up the airport, mainly to bring Tang Huan some invitations to Chinese social activities.

As a minority, taking the opportunity at the end of the year, Chinese people naturally want to contact each other, Tang Huan is not averse to this form of grouping, although it may not have much effect, infighting is human nature, if he is not proficient in Cantonese, no one may pay attention to it.

For the background information of each inviter, Tang Wenmao came together like a few treasures.

After all, people's hearts are complicated, and it cannot be ruled out that some guys hide evil intentions under the name of high-sounding, and Tang Huan, who does not want to be manipulated by others, naturally attaches great importance to this information, Tang Wenmao has done such a thoughtful job, he nodded again and again, and was very satisfied.

"Fang's Newspaper's "Asian Weekly" plans to do a series of interviews to report on the deeds of Chinese entrepreneurs in the United States, and young talent representatives like Mr. Tang are naturally favored by them, so they specially sent out an invitation, but "Asian Weekly" is very young, and it was only launched in August this year, and the publicity effect is limited, so it may not be worth spending this time." Tang Wenmao did his best to introduce.

Tang Huan pondered for a while, recalling the information of Fang's newspaper that successfully won the "San Francisco Observer" from the Hearst family in his previous life, and felt that some of their ideas were in line with his own ideas.

Fang's Newspaper was co-founded by Fang Dachuan, a master of journalism at the University of Berkeley, and his wife Li Bangqin, especially Mrs. Fang, who will be called the "steel magnolia" in the future.

In 1935, Li Bangqin was born in the mainland, studied in the university of Baodao, and settled in San Francisco with her husband in 1960, starting a small printing business with only 200 US dollars.

During this period, because her husband was seriously ill, she ran a printing shop alone with her three young children, and took over a restaurant in Chinatown, which ended in a battle of wits with a Chinese gang.

Fang's newspaper began its operations with the Junior Morning Post and the Chinese TV Weekly, until this year, when it launched the English-published Asian Weekly, a process that reflects a conceptual progress.

Chinese newspapers can certainly gather Chinese people and spread local feelings, but in an English-speaking society, Chinese newspapers can never become the mainstream voice because Americans cannot read Chinese newspapers.

Although Chinese newspapers often publish Chinese views on American society, the only way to make Americans understand is to translate it, which is like scratching the itch in the boot.

Through more than 20 years of living in the United States, Fang Dachuan and Li Bangqin deeply feel that if you want the mainstream society to take into account your existence and listen to your voice, you must run an English-language newspaper, and the Chinese must not only survive in Chinatown.

Tang Huan naturally agrees with this strategy of going out, and stretches out his hand to support it, which is also the proper meaning of the question.

"The invitation of "Asian Weekly" is put at the forefront, and we will reply to Fang's newspaper as soon as possible." Tang Huan, who made the decision, instructed, "At the end of the year, there are too many affairs, and I have to fly to Treasure Island to attend an exhibition, you let the other party arrange it as soon as possible, if it can be completed today, it is the best." ”

Boss Tang's foresight, Tang Wenmao naturally won't understand, but he only needs to implement it faithfully.

Although the residence in San Francisco was deserted, it was just the right time for Tang Huan to quietly continue to improve the research and development plan of fax products.

Fang's newspaper responded very quickly, and Fang Dachuan and his wife prepared a dinner party on the same day, this kind of vigorous and efficient way, Tang Huan naturally liked it, so he happily went to the appointment.

Fang Dachuan obviously did his homework in advance, as soon as they met, they talked about the friendship of alumni, media people are naturally good at communicating, this kind of relationship will undoubtedly bring each other closer, and Tang Huan also has the heart to make friends, and soon the guests and hosts talked happily.

"Mr. Fang's newspaper and printing house can provide advertising and printing services for Zheru, and I will notify the business department to contact and discuss cooperation." Tang Huan threw an olive branch straight to the point.

This is a real gift, compared to the Zheru, who can almost be called a daily progress, Fang's newspaper needs to expand its business too much.

"Thank you Mr. Tang for your trust." Fang Dachuan thanked again and again.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Everyone is Chinese, so naturally we have to support each other, not to mention that we are still alumni, and I very much agree with Mr. Fang's newspaper philosophy, Chinese people need their own English media to enter the mainstream American society." ”

The two sides are like-minded, and the communication with each other is naturally extremely pleasant, compared to the establishment of a sense of trust, the interview with the "Asian Weekly" is simply a matter of course, after the dinner, it takes more than an hour to get it done.
