Chapter 101: The Tang Family
While Wang Lianhai's family was discussing how to survive this crisis, Meng Wen was having dinner with a strange man in a big hotel in Jinshi. This man's name is Tang Huan, he is the chairman of Beijing Tianxing Entertainment, and he was introduced by his uncle in the afternoon.
When Meng Wengang received a call from his uncle Wang Weigang, he said that he wanted to introduce himself to someone. It's a little strange, who can make my uncle introduce himself so solemnly.
When I met, I heard my uncle introduce him, and the man next to him was called Tang Huan, who was the chairman of Beijing Tianxing Entertainment. Meng Wen's first reaction was "This is a rich second generation". Sure enough, then my uncle said that this was the son of the head of the army he was the one who was the head of the army.
I usually get together, listen to the conversation between my uncle and grandfather, and I know. Thanks to the care of the division commander of the army, my uncle was able to transfer to the Tianjin City Public Security Bureau, and he has his current achievements. And Tang Batian, the division commander who helped his uncle back then, has now become the commander of the 27th Group Army under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Military Region, with the rank of lieutenant general.
The military headquarters of the 27th Group Army is located in Shicheng, the capital of Beihe Province, and the old Wang Tou who died because of the demolition of the Shicheng Military Factory was actually Tang Huan's grandfather. The general who came at that time was Tang Huan's grandfather, as for why Tang Huan's grandfather was surnamed Wang, to put it bluntly, the old king was in the Tang family, it was said that he was in return for his kindness, but after the current head of the family died. Lao Wang Tou saw that the following people were fighting for the head of the family, so he took the initiative to retreat, anyway, he was not surnamed Tang, so he moved to live in Shicheng's hometown, out of sight and out of mind. Of course, the specific twists and turns are unknown.
To put it bluntly, the Tang family can actually be regarded as the largest family in China, holding more than half of the military power in China. Although Tang Huan is a second-generation official, of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has become an official for three generations and four generations for officials, anyway, Tang Huan has been an official for three generations. However, Tang Huan does not have the kind of smiling strength of other second-generation officials or the expression of Lao Tzu who is the best in the world. Anyway, Tang Huan's first impression of Meng Wen was quite good, at least much stronger than that Zhao Fang.
After my uncle finished introducing me, I went out to run errands. And Tang Huan came mainly to find Meng Wen this time, in order to facilitate the conversation, the two found a hotel, talked while eating, and it was time to eat anyway.
During this period, Tang Huan did not beat around the bush, and directly explained his intention, that is, he wanted to invite Meng Wen to join the daily video website he founded. In recent years, the traditional entertainment market has been very competitive, and the Tianxing Entertainment founded by Tang Huan can only be regarded as a medium-sized entertainment project in China.
The Tang family's main focus is on energy, and boys who are reluctant to join the army in the Tang family will generally start their own businesses with the funds provided by the family in the early stage, and then redistribute family resources according to each person's ability to take charge of a part of the family shares.
After graduating from college, Tang Huan did not enter the industry involved in the family, but chose the development of the entertainment industry. In the early days, it did develop well, but then gradually became dissatisfied with the traditional entertainment industry and wanted to enter the field of online video. And it is precisely this idea that led to Tang Huan's Tianxing Entertainment's vitality being greatly damaged, and it has only begun to slowly recover until today, but it is no longer the style of the past.
After Tang Huan emerged in the entertainment industry, he entered the field of online video wishful thinking, Tang Huan knew that other companies that tested the water video network closed down one after another, but the crooked dog group was the only one. However, Tang Huan is still full of confidence to enter the field of online video, Tang Huan is not only confident in himself, but also in the Tang family.
It's a pity that it turns out that the Tang family disappointed him. In the early days of the video website, it was good to say that when the scale of the website affected the development of Crooked Dog Film and Television, in the face of the actions of several major shareholders of Crooked Dog Group, the Tang family retreated without thinking about it. The result of the retreat was that the company founded by a descendant disciple of the Tang family expanded dozens of times within a year, while Tang Huan's Tianxing Entertainment almost went bankrupt, and in the end, it was only after Tang Huan's grandfather's face that he reluctantly let Tang Huan go.
The reason is that the Tang family does not treat Tang Huan as a family lineage, in the eyes of the Tang family, Tang Huan's lineage, although the surname is Tang, but it is not the blood of the Tang family in his bones. Because Tang Huan's grandfather's surname was Wang, it was only when he joined the Tang family that he had a family of Tang Huan. It's just that Tang Huan's grandfather and father are more competitive, one is a general and the other is a lieutenant general, so they can gain a firm foothold in the Tang family.
However, in Tang Huan's generation, the situation has changed, Tang Huan has three sisters and brothers, and there is an older brother and sister on it. Tang Huan's elder brother is currently serving as an officer in a special forces unit of the Lalan Military Region, with the rank of captain, and his future is quite bright, but his potential is also limited. Tang Huan's sister has already married his wife, and her husband's family is also a small official family. is not as good as the generation, especially after the grandfather retired, the influence of Tang Huan's family in the Tang family is also slowly declining.
And Tang Huan had no interest in joining the army when he was a child, so he went directly into business after graduation. Tang Huan's elder brother entered the army and was taken care of by his father and grandfather's colleagues. And Tang Huan stepped into the business road, his father didn't have much of a way, and his father was more rigid and disdainful of engaging in crooked ways. There is not much hope for relying on the relationship of the family, but Tang Huan is also used to independence, Tang Huan does not expect the Tang family to be of much help to him, but at least it can form a deterrent to other forces in the outside world, as long as it is formal competition, Tang Huan will not be afraid of them.
Just when Tang Huan was ambitious to enter the field of online video, something happened that Tang Huan never expected, and in the end, the family not only did not help him, but also stabbed him in the back, and for the sake of a descendant disciple of the Tang family, he actually sacrificed Tang Huan to exchange interests with other families.
Tang Huan deeply realized at that moment why his grandfather left the Tang family alone and went to Shicheng to live on his own. And after his grandfather retired, he also went to live alone in an old hospital in the suburbs of Beijing. The Tang family didn't regard themselves as the Tang family at all, but their parents still had value in their eyes. However, his father did get some help from the Tang family, otherwise he would not have climbed to the position of lieutenant general early.
But since then, Tang Huan has rarely regarded himself as a member of the Tang family, and rarely has dealings with other Tang families, but the outside world has a deep-rooted impression of him as a member of the Tang family. Sometimes Tang Huan feels funny when he thinks about it, the Tang family doesn't treat himself as the Tang family, he doesn't want to be the Tang family, but outsiders think that he is the Tang family. However, Tang Huan didn't explain to others everywhere in a pedantic way, he knew that he could, and the identity of the Tang family did help Tang Huan a little.
