Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"It doesn't matter, they can ventilate each other well. ∑ Novel," Tang Huan nodded disapprovingly, and then walked and talked with Shao Yifu into the tea room.

"Tang Sheng is so elegant." Shao Yifu praised heartily, sniffing the faint fragrance of tea.

"The Xiangjiang Club was originally filled with foreign gadgets. I guess everyone was tired of it a long time ago, so I added some new tricks." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "but the time is short, and the quality of the hardware such as tea room layout is not good enough. However, the quality of software such as professional quality needs to be further improved."

"In the past few years, Baodao has basically formed a set of tea rituals with its own characteristics. However, Tang Sheng seems to be very different here." Shao Yifu looked at the layout of the tea room and commented seriously.

"It varies from person to person, and it mainly reflects some of my personal preferences." Tang Huan laughed.

After talking about gossip for a while, Tang Huan turned to the topic, "Is Uncle Six intentionally extending TVB's tentacles to Canada? After all, the audience for Chinese-speaking content over there has already begun to grow in scale."

"How about the risks of Canadian media policy?" Shao Yifu looked hesitant. "A dozen years ago, probably in 1967, Jin Yong and Malaysian businessman Liang Runzhi co-organized the "Xin Ming Daily" in Singapore. Due to the strong sales, three A few months later, they founded Malaysia's "Shin Min Daily" in Kuala Lumpur. However, in the past few years, the governments of Singapore and Malaysia amended the laws to prevent non-nationals from holding more than 3% of the local newspaper. Forcing Jin Yong to reluctantly give up his love and withdraw from the "Xin Ming Daily" in Singapore and Malaysia."

"There are more and more Chinese in Canada. It is not difficult to find a like-minded collaborator and interest spokesperson." Tang Huan looked confident, "It depends on whether Uncle Liu is willing to make a move. The investment stage."

"A lot of people don't want to see the emigration tide of Xiangjiang, leading to the loss of Xiangjiang's talents and capital. But Tang Sheng's attitude seems a little subtle?" Shao Yifu's face was curious.

"It's not in its place, not seeking its own government. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Don't ask for it." Tang Huan yawned lazily. "In my opinion, the Chinese have gone all over the world to spread their branches and leaves. What's bad. In the colonial era, white people relied on advanced ocean consciousness to occupy most of the world's resources, energy, and strategic locations; now more people go to Canada, which is quite lively."

Shao Yifu was obviously shocked by Tang Huan's unreliable whimsy. He was stunned for a while before he asked, "I don't know who Tang Sheng is looking for in Canada?"

"Feng Jingxi’s eldest son, Feng Yongfa. In the mid-1960s. There was also a wave of immigration. Since then, the children of Feng’s family have acquired Canadian citizenship and their identities are just right. Feng Yongfa himself is not keen on inheriting his father’s financial business, but on the media Strong interest in the industry, coupled with more accustomed to the Canadian way of life, so we got together. As you know, in the past few months, I injected capital into Sun Hung Kai Bank several times, whether it is a relationship of interest or trust between the two parties. It can be said to be firm." Tang Huan explained in detail.

"Tang Sheng's ability to be vertical and horizontal without changing his voice is really admirable." Shao Yifu complimented a few words sincerely, and then asked, "Since Tang Sheng has a long history in Canada, what is the current situation? "

"The radio service covers Vancouver and Toronto, and the operation is on track. As for the TV station. Now it has a regional pay TV license, and the service area is in British Columbia, where Vancouver is located, and it is also operating. In addition, Canadian Radio, Television and Communications The committee plans to issue a nationwide Chinese pay TV license next year."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan shrugged, "Uncle Liu just thinks about it. You should also be able to guess that the production level of Chinese program content over there is not advanced at all. We crushed a few streets of them."

...

"Zou Sheng, I don't have Golden Princess Entertainment and Jiulong Jianye; but if you lose Jiahe, most of your hard work for it will be gone." Lei Juekun said carefully.

These words made the arrogant Zou Wenhuai feel very harsh. Everyone is a prince, why do you Lei Juekun condescendingly hint that I have no cards to play?

"Kowloon Jianye may not be as stable as Mount Tai, right? The Kowloon Bus created by the Lei family has not given the controlling rights to Sun Hung Kai Properties?" Zou Wenhuai unceremoniously said that everyone is in the same situation. The value set.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lei Juekun's face, and he immediately hit a haha, "Since the interests of the movie are important to everyone, why not unite with each other and fight against the ambitious ambition of DreamWorks?"

"Fighting for financial resources, are we rivals?" Zou Wenhuai snorted, "The theater has to be renovated, and the promotional methods have to be varied, and the level of film production cannot be lowered. Which one is less funded? And even if invested, it may not Will be rewarded."

"Zou Sheng is a hero of the Xiangjiang film industry, how can he be discouraged before fighting?" Lei Juekun calmly came to an aggressive strategy.

Zou Wenhuai glared at Lei Juekun, "I don't have a common language with you speculators who are halfway into the film industry to make quick money, so I should investigate the Olympic aid of DreamWorks in Hollywood."

Seeing that Zou Wenhuai was so sensible and difficult to fool, Lei Juekun had to show his assassin, lowered his voice and said: "In Xiangjiang, there are many forces that are not pleasing to Tang Huan. I am sure, and I will also get the Austrian aid."

...

"Boss, Mr. Zou and Mr. Lei are here."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Tang Huan stopped talking with Shao Yifu and got up to greet him.

Appreciating the dignified and elegant display of the tea master, Lei Juekun said with a smile: "Tang Sheng will really enjoy it."

"Lei Sheng likes it." Tang Huan glanced at the three most important figures in the Hong Kong film industry. Shao Yifu is already over the past few years, while Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun are less than sixty years old. year. This difference in age is not a hint, that is, their styles of business operations will be very different, or even completely opposite.

"Of course Tang Sheng has a leisurely and elegant mood. The recent business of DreamWorks Cinemas has not been prosperous in general." Zou Wenhuai said with resentment.

He thought that when he met with Tang Huan several times before, although he did not achieve practical cooperation results, the atmosphere was very good, but why did DreamWorks suddenly get into trouble.

Since Tang Huan entered the topic so quickly, there was no need for Tang Huan to lay the groundwork, and he answered frankly. "I do have an idea, which is to integrate the large-scale theaters on the Xiangjiang River into an alliance."

"Sure enough." Zou Wenhuai glanced at Lei Juekun with a change of expression and Shao Yifu with a laid-back look, feeling really depressed.

"Mr. Tang has always been so courageous in his work, admiration and admiration." Lei Juekun's tone was full of sarcasm, and he almost confessed that Tang Huan was too domineering.

Don't care about Tang Huan. "I don’t know if several of you have heard of it. In recent years, the U.S. home video game console market has been booming. However, after a decade of development, the scale of the industry has surpassed its history by half. Hollywood for more than a century."

"Of course I heard." Shao Yifu, who had never spoken, laughed. "Tang Sheng should be regarded as the biggest gold nugget."

Zou Wenhuai also nodded, "I have heard about it. After all, Xiangjiang is also making a lot of fun here, but it seems to have heard that the market in the United States is not working this year."

"Zou Sheng said it to the point." Tang Huan sighed with regret. "It's not just that the market doesn't work anymore. To be precise, the entire industry has collapsed. The annual market of tens of billions of dollars will be gone."

After seeing the reactions of the three people, Tang Huan leisurely continued: "As an industry leader, I am also a witness. I think I am qualified to summarize the reason for this huge change, that is, the influx of investors. It’s broken this market. This lesson learned is also suitable for the current Xiangjiang movie market."

"In the most prosperous period of the home video game console market, even food companies relentlessly joined in in order to give Wall Street a good financial report. You can imagine the endless emergence of various game consoles."

"This hardware platform is equivalent to a theater line, and the game software running on it is similar to a movie."

"Everyone has a very sensitive business sense. After the ups and downs of the previous decades, the Hong Kong film market has come to a new round of recovery. As a result, all kinds of hot money will inevitably come in."

"This conclusion is not my guess. You know. Baodao and Singapore's economies have also developed. The scale of hot money is not comparable to that of Shaw and Dianmao, and Jiahe and Shaw vying for the top. Everyone is in the same place. In the Chinese-speaking cultural circle, it is natural to follow the trend and invest."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan turned his eyes to Shao Yifu, "Uncle Liu should have experienced it. In the past few years, Singaporean funds have been very keen on TV dramas on the Hong Kong side."

Shao Yifu nodded thoughtfully, "Tang Sheng is worried that a large amount of funds will flow into the film industry in Xiangjiang, and eventually the market will lose the ability to self-regulate, causing our jobs to be destroyed. Therefore, he plans to use the theater alliance to build a discourse. The barriers to power in our hands?"

"Jiang is still hot, I didn't expect Uncle Six to see my plan at a glance." Tang Huan gave a thumbs up.

"You two will play the double acting. Who doesn't know that you have discussed this set of rhetoric before." Lei Juekun, who was watching coldly, kept slandering.

I have to say that Lei Juekun really guessed wrong. When Tang Huan and Shao Yifu were alone together just now, the topics they talked about were all about the television field.

Zou Wenhuai took Tang Huan’s words into his heart, but just like the fact that all the forces in the dynasty change period in history refused to voluntarily bow their heads, he had doubts about this so-called theater alliance. The joy of the emperor of the land that deserves to be part of the separatist regime.

"Faced with the influx of hot money, the Hong Kong film industry has almost no ability to self-regulate. Think about it, until now, there has not been a purely unified industry association in the Hong Kong film industry. There may be political reasons for this, or everyone. I love to hear and see."

Tang Huan chuckled, “But don’t forget, if you want horses to run, can you still keep horses from eating grass? If everyone wants to make money on Xiangjiang movies continuously, then they must find ways to integrate resources together and hold hands. Into a fist."

"You should have noticed that up to now, the penetration rate of video recorders in Hong Kong households has been very impressive. Home theater systems will become a popular form of entertainment consumption, and the market prospects are very broad."

"At this stage, the two videotape formats, VHS and Betamax, are still in competition. The technology is in the hands of Japanese companies, but content providers such as Hollywood have the power to decide who wins."

"If the Hong Kong Film Industry can pool its superior resources and gain world-class voice, it might be one of these decision makers."

"Video tape is not the ultimate technical solution for home theater systems. It will definitely be replaced by the next generation of digital formats. If we have the say in deciding which technical solution to choose, it is tantamount to mastering industry standards, and there will be a lot of profit. Gone."

After listening to Tang Huan's words, Lei Juekun showed a disapproving look. "It must be admitted that the prospects described by Tang Sheng are very beautiful, and even make me feel unpredictable. Although I don't understand some points, they never leave their origins. , Is nothing more than monopoly. I think Sir Shao and Zou Sheng’s companies have been infinitely close to this achievement, and Tang Sheng intends to become the next one after them? It seems that there is no new idea at all."

"That can only mean that your time in the industry is short and you don't have a deep understanding of the film industry." Tang Huan was too lazy to pay attention to Lei Juekun, and turned his eyes to Zou Wenhuai, "I have put Hollywood's MGM company on the right track, and plan to put MGM in Hollywood on the right track. The resources on this platform are open to Xiangjiang colleagues to share. Is Zou Sheng interested?"

"Really?" Zou Wenhuai, who was bright in front of him, asked aloud.

"Of course~www.wuxiahere.com~ do I have to make a joke?" Tang Huan nodded slightly.

Lei Juekun coughed and stopped Zou Wenhuai who wanted to speak. At the same time, he gave the other party a wink, which meant to say, "Don't forget, we agreed to advance and retreat together. If you are busy changing your mind, you will suffer by then. Yes, don't come to me."

"Tang Sheng, your proposal, we need to go back and discuss it before we can give an answer." After Zou Wenhuai was stabilized, Lei Juekun spoke as a representative of the two.

Seeing Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai stand up and leave, Tang Huan smiled, "That's okay, maybe the current theater competition can better reflect the advantages of resource integration and deployment that will be shown after the establishment of the theater alliance in the future. But there is. The same, I want to explain in advance. Capital and intellectual games, everyone just put out the carts and horses to be clear, the upright business war without losing demeanor. But if anyone can't use the means of the table, even though I am not staying in Xiangjiang all the time, But I don’t rub the sand in my eyes."

Savoring the warning in Tang Huan's words, Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai's cheeks unnaturally twitched, and they didn't know how to answer the conversation, so they simply lifted their legs and left. (To be continued.)
