Chapter 73: A Chance Encounter

The year 2000, the beginning of the new millennium, is an important moment for the entire human race to celebrate.

However, looking at the recent newspaper news, there is a very interesting phenomenon, people welcome the joy of the millennium, but also have an inexplicable sense of unease.

On the one hand, this sense of unease comes from the various doomsday prophecies of the gods all over the world.

For example, one of the most famous prophets, the 16th-century French scholar Nostradamus, once made a terrible prediction that December 31, 1999 would be the last day of mankind, and the king of terror would descend from the sky and destroy the entire human race.

In fact, Nostradamus predicted July 1999, and the time has long passed, and I don't know who is spreading rumors.

More convincing and credible than the unfounded ancient prophecies is the computer crisis called the "Millennium Bug".

The millennium bug refers to the fact that due to programming problems, the computer may have incorrect operations when processing dates and times after January 1, 2000, which may cause its work to stop or even have catastrophic results.

Because of its existence, the state issued a New Year's Day notice in 1999, which deliberately adjusted the date of the holiday and required all departments to be prepared to deal with the crisis.

Under the disguised propaganda of the state, everyone from old to young has basically heard of millennium bugs, and some people who don't know why still think that computers grow bugs.

Fang Yan was reading the newspaper in the past few days and saw a very interesting thing, which made him laugh a little.

At 23:20 on the night of the 31st, the deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China decided to personally take Hainan Airlines' flight 181 from Guangzhou to Haikou, crossing the millennium at an altitude of 30,000 feet, in order to show the civil aviation department's confidence in "defeating the millennium bug".

Although the Millennium Bug sounds very powerful, it is actually a vulnerability in the computer system in dealing with dates, and it can also be said to be a relatively large bug.

This problem is not very difficult to solve, as long as it is detected in advance and dealt with well, there is nothing to worry about.

…………

When the time came to mid-January, after Fang Yan went downstairs after breakfast, he saw a middle-aged man with a strong body, waiting for him here.

"Mr. Fang, good morning!"

This middle-aged man is the security guard and driver recruited by Fang Yangang - Li Tangliang.

"Brother Li, how many times have I told you, you just wait for me in the car."

Fang Yan frowned, and said a little helplessly: "This winter, don't you feel panicked by the cold?"

"It's okay, it's nothing."

Li Tangliang showed a mouthful of big white teeth and said with a smile: "When I was a soldier before, I trained shirtless in the snow."

Li Tangliang is a veteran, although he is not a special soldier in the legend, but he is also an elite from the reconnaissance company.

The reason why Fang Yan hired Li Tang was also because of his strong investigation ability, not only with keen vigilance, but also good at avoiding tracking.

"Okay, I can see it, you're a stubborn temper." Fang Yan shook his head and got into the car with a wry smile.

"Mr. Fang, where are we going today?"

"Let's go to the courtyard first, and I'll see how the house is decorated."

The courtyard house near the Forbidden City was finally bought by Fang Yan. After the house was in hand, he was not in a hurry to move in, but found a well-known decoration company and designed it for decoration.

After arriving at the courtyard, Fang Yan carefully inspected it, and did not see the phenomenon of stealing and cheating, so he nodded with satisfaction.

If nothing else, he will be able to move into his new home before the Chinese New Year.

After Fang Yan finished looking at the courtyard, he came to the fulcrum music company again.

"Hello Mr. Fang!"

"Good morning, Mr. Fang!"

At this time, the development of Fulcrum Music Company has begun to take shape, because of the increasing number of personnel, this entire floor area has also been rented.

Fang Yan walked all the way, he didn't know how many people greeted him, his face stiffened when he smiled.

At this time, Fang Yan can finally understand why there are so many expressionless and domineering presidents in novels and films, and there are too many people in the company who dare to be affectionate.

"Mr. Fang, why are you here?"

Fang Yan walked into the general manager's office, and when the man sitting inside saw him come in, he immediately got up and greeted him.

"Lao Zhang, why are you so nervous, could it be that you are lazy at work?" Fang Yan said jokingly.

Lao Zhang, whose full name is Zhang Lu, is the new general manager of Fulcrum Music Company, and has worked in Red Star Music Production Company and Wheat Field Music Company.

During Zhang Lu's time at Wheat Field Music Company, he was the head of enterprise selection, and he was responsible for the promotion of Pu Shu's hit album "I Go to 2000" last year.

"Mr. Fang, don't make fun of me."

Zhang Lu complained and said: "You know how busy the company is now, I have been working overtime a lot in the past few days."

During this period of time, the fulcrum company has been busy up and down, especially Tan Weiwei, there are a lot of invitations to perform during the New Year, she basically rushes to the scene every day, and at most she can catch 5 performances a day.

As Tan Weiwei became more and more popular, Fulcrum Music also began to become famous, and from time to time some musicians came forward to recommend themselves.

However, it is a pity that among these musicians, let alone future famous singers, they can't even find a talented one.

There was no way, Fang Yan had to try to recall the singer's information in his memory, and wanted to try to take the initiative to contact and invite him.

However, it is very embarrassing that Xiangjiang and Wanwan are not easy to contact, and there are very few who can be contacted, and when the other party hears that it is a mainland music company, he shakes his head and refuses.

And here in the mainland, most of the future famous singers that can be thought of are supergirls and fast men, like Li Yuchun, Zhang Liangying, and Zhang Jie, all of whom are still in middle school.

Fortunately, there is a mainland music group that has been singing in the dance hall for several years and has not been discovered, and this group is the Legend of Fenghuang.

After the Legend of the Wind Phoenix received the invitation from the Fulcrum Company, the two of them were overjoyed and ran to the imperial capital without saying a word.

In this way, Fang Yan simply went through the interview process and successfully signed the future "King of Square Dance".

After signing the Legend of the Wind Phoenix, the fulcrum company immediately began to prepare for the release of the album, this time Fang Yan did not be the producer himself, he took out a few future famous songs of the Legend of the Wind Phoenix, and then left it alone.

Of course, Fang Yan's departure is just compared to before, when he is free like today, he will occasionally come to the company to have a look, and by the way, guide the singing of the Legend of the Wind Phoenix.

“…… You're busy, let's talk next time. ”

After Fang Yan chatted with Zhang Lu for a while, he saw that the time was not early, so he planned to go to the recording studio.

"Mr. Huang, I'm sorry, but your songs are not up to the level of release."

"Can you tell me what it doesn't work for?"

"Uh...... I'll be honest, not in any way! ”

“…… Dude, can't you speak a little more tactfully? ”

When Fang Yan passed by the reception room, he was amused by the conversation inside.

Where did this come from?

Fang Yan glanced curiously and saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
