Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 843: I have a long way to go

...

It must be admitted that Xiangjiang is a rare test field.

First of all, the economy is sufficiently developed, so that public utilities, retail, ticketing, road tolls, and other fields that are most receptive to electronic money have issued a call for high-tech applications in a timely manner.

Secondly, the atmosphere is quite free. Tang Huan, whose purpose is not only to sell solutions, but also to gain the leadership, prefers to choose Xiangjiang instead of another place with the same economic development, Singapore.

In recent years, the Qinhe Department has adopted erp-enterprise resource planning, crm-customer relationship management and other systems internally, and has also participated in the promotion of electronic money in the public utilities, retail, ticketing and other fields it operates. The construction of applications and e-banking has created an ecosystem called "Octopus".

As far as the development status is concerned, the transcripts submitted by Octopus are worthy of the literal meaning of "card can extend in all directions" and the color head that implies "development". It has received the support of all Hong Kong licensed banks except HSBC. It can pay for water, electricity, coal, telephone and other service fees, as well as the consumption of certain movie theaters, convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and other places. The location has expanded from Xiangjiang to Haojiang and Special Zone.

At the same time, the public transportation industry represented by Xiangjiang Metro has also been committed to the application of electronic ticketing systems.

Tang Huan provided Xiangjiang Metro with a magnetic stripe card and a contact card reader solution. In the case of Reagan’s assassination, he used a card reader to smash the killer John Hinckley’s revolver, proving that As this equipment is more practical, it is not a problem to adapt to various complex application environments.

The Heung Kong MTR system, called "Universal Stored Value Tickets", has now been extended to the Kowloon-Canton Railway, and the service lines connecting the Hong Kong MTR and the Kowloon-Canton Railway by the Kowloon Bus and Citybus have become a climate.

The Kowloon Bus, the Citybus in the expansion period, the Zhonghua Bus, the ferry and other public transportation systems that are beginning to go downhill, of course, also have their own electronic ticketing implementation solutions, but obviously they cannot be compared with the Xiangjiang Metro.

Compared with the enthusiasm in these fields, Xiangjiang's electronic road toll system has progressed relatively slowly. In particular, the Hong Kong government conducted experiments in Central in 1983 in order to control traffic congestion. The result caused a strong backlash from the people and it was put on hold forever, which made it notorious.

It was not until April 20 this year that the Shing Mun Tunnel, the only tunnel connecting West Tsuen Wan in the New Territories with East Sha Tin in the New Territories, was officially opened to traffic, and Tang Huan's electronic road toll system was used and named Autotoll.

However, this still sets the world's first practical record of electronic road pricing system

The specific implementation method of this kind of non-stop toll collection system is: when a vehicle passes through a toll station at a lower speed, the transceiver placed on the windshield of the vehicle will send a signal to the sensor of the toll point, so that the system does not need to be contacted. It will record the date, time and other data passed by the vehicle to complete an electronic transaction.

Of the 13 toll booths in the Shing Mun Tunnel, 8 are manual toll booths, and the remaining 5 are automatic toll booths that use an electronic road toll system. The tolls will be slightly lower than the standard rate of 5 Hong Kong dollars.

Roughly estimated, the average time for an ordinary car to pass through a manual toll station is 14 seconds. If the electronic road toll system is used to pay, the average time to pass through the toll station is only 3 seconds, that is, 11 seconds can be saved per trip.

In addition to improving road traffic capacity and avoiding the trouble of finding change that is easily caused by cash transactions, the electronic road toll system also caters to the environmental protection concept that the richest man has been vigorously advocating.

Because according to the expert test report, if all vehicles use the electronic road toll system to pay, on average, each vehicle passing through the electronic road toll system lane saves about 0.0314 liters of fuel per vehicle trip and reduces hydrocarbon emissions compared to passing through the manual toll lane. Approximately 0.7 grams per trip, the emission of carbon monoxide compounds is reduced by 4.7 grams per trip, and the emission of nitric oxide compounds is reduced by 0.3 grams per trip.

I have to say that the ever-increasing concept of environmental protection has to a certain extent eliminated the vigilance of Hong Kong people on the electronic road toll system.

From these developments, it is not difficult to see that in the application of Xiangjiang electronic money, Tang Huan’s "Octopus" and Xiangjiang Metro’s "Universal Stored Value Ticket" are decisive forces. "It is inherently convenient, and the scale is slightly better.

However, like Zhonghua Bus, which has been caught in serious labor disputes and cannot be resolved for a long time, and the service quality has obviously declined. This kind of conservative who still monopolizes most of the bus franchise on Hong Kong Island cannot ignore its role because of its negative performance. Unless the franchise resources are handed over to operators who are more willing to make progress, only the Hong Kong government can do this.

After the final promotion of personal appearance, the majority of interest demands were compromised to the equilibrium point acceptable to all parties. Tang Huan finally announced at the press conference that a variety of electronic currency systems including universal stored-value tickets, Unifying it with Octopus on the same network has become the world's most successful electronic money application system, and has made a model and reference object for the world.

When the reporter hoped to get a formal answer, that is, what benefits the "Octopus" that finally dominated the world after many years can bring ordinary people, Tang Huan answered very concisely, "The convenience is a cliché, I will not I’m going to repeat it, I just want to emphasize that if you spend on our network, you will be more able to get feedback in the form of points. For example, you are in a supermarket, shopping mall, restaurant, subway convenience store, etc. The consumption points obtained by the venue can be added together to play a wider role."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan joked: "If you ask from the perspective of participating merchants, the answer is more business opportunities; if you ask from the perspective of the entire Xiangjiang, the answer is that after the Octopus becomes more successful, you can This experience is packaged and sold internationally, but each order will cost at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars."

...

The ambitions of the richest man, more precisely, the ambitions of Xiangjiang, can be described as expressive. After the gesture of waving and smiling was put on the front page by the major media, almost everyone felt the bright sunshine in it.

You must know that the current Xiangjiang is a trend of fleeing, and the group of people who have not left until now are nothing more than nostalgia for the position that has been managed so hard. The fact is that the elites can be found as long as there is no reason for being rejected. A new comfort zone, but also reduced to an ordinary rich man, lost the aura of the powerful.

Now Tang Huan has set out his vehicles and continued to invest in Xiangjiang. He is still optimistic about the prospects here. Those who are really worried about the prospects of Xiangjiang suddenly found the backbone. The great sense of loss caused by the outflow wave represented by the relocation of HSBC has finally been realized. Filled.

Well, this is enough. If anyone dares to force the richest man to make a so-called statement, it is to make life difficult for everyone-not to make a statement is also people's freedom!

This kind of support suddenly burst out when Tang Huan attended the opening ceremony of Xiangjiang Avenue of Stars.

Tang Huan continued to look forward: "I have two visions when I come to Hong Kong this time. One is to develop Tseung Kwan O Industrial Village into a smart industry center, and the other is to build the Avenue of Stars into a cultural business card to match the current development of Hong Kong movies. Achievement in the international arena."

There is nothing to evade. The Hong Kong Avenue of Fame is built after the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the United States. Anyway, Tang Huan is a veritable Hollywood tycoon, and he is very handy to do it.

This project is located in Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Gardens, Kowloon. It is sponsored by the richest man with 40 million Hong Kong dollars out of his pocket. It is supported by the tourism, recreation, and cultural departments of the Hong Kong Government, and the Hong Kong Film Awards Association.

To be honest, although the opening ceremony is crowded with people, it is not very popular on weekdays-there are many good places to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour, not bad for this one.

The Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Garden is divided into two parts: the eastern location was formerly a part of Hung Hom Bay, which became land with the Tsim Sha Tsui East reclamation project in the late 1960s; the western location was formerly the rail link between Homan Tin and Tsim Sha Tsui Station by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Part of it. After the Kowloon-Canton Railway changed to Hung Hom Station as its terminal, the tracks were demolished and the original site was used for cultural and commercial purposes. The 1,600-meter-long waterfront promenade was one of the facilities.

In terms of the opening time, the Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Garden is also divided into two stages: the first stage is the eastern part of the park along Salisbury Road, which was opened in 1982; the western part was opened simultaneously with the Heung Kong Cultural Center last year.

The Xiangjiang Avenue of Stars took advantage of this opportunity to be fully put into use, and built a good place on the promenade that could hold 100 commemorative plaques.

If you want to be on the list here and leave a handprint, you have to be a veteran who has made a significant contribution to the Hong Kong film industry and has a top status in the Hong Kong film industry.

The specific qualifications are selected by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association and its several affiliated associations in conjunction with the "Film Biweekly" by voting, and need to be approved by the Avenue of Stars Management Committee.

The first batch of film workers listed on the award list are veterans who are alive or dead, such as Guan Dexing, Shi Jian, Cao Dahua, Xin Ma Shizeng, Ren Jianhui, Red Line Girl, Xia Meng, Li Hanxiang, etc. From the 1950s to the 1960s, actors and directors were the most powerful, as well as big-time figures like Li Minwei, Lu Yuntao, and Shao Yifu.

Obviously, the lineup on the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars will increase year by year, but it will only recruit troops on such a large scale in the first few years, and it will definitely be tightened in the future. After all, achievement and status take time to settle.

Among the dozen or so winners who came to enjoy this glory, many have moved to Canada, the United Kingdom, etc. sooner or later. Now it is very rare to show up in public. The reporters are so busy that they are sweating, but they still enjoy it. .

In the process of assisting Shao Yifu to leave his handprints, Cha Xiaoxin, who has already begun to have the title of "Mother of Paparazzi" at this stage, took the opportunity to come over and tentatively asked: "Tang Sheng has also worked hard for the development of the Xiangjiang film industry. I don’t know when I can leave a handprint?"

"I'm looking forward to that moment, but I'm afraid it will be a long time." Tang Huan laughed, "At least I have to wait for Zou Wenhuai, Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Zhou Runfa, Xu Ke and others to receive praise. , It's my turn to be barely."

Cheng Long, Sammo Hung and others, who rushed back by plane to join in, were not far away when they heard the richest man affirming himself so much, his face was full of pleats, and the hard work of being exhausted into a dog swept away.

"Tang Sheng is really humble!" Cha Xiaoxin laughed and said, "I guess you have to queue behind Miss Lin Qingxia."

Tang Huan didn't care about the gossip that the other party deliberately made, and nodded earnestly: "Of course I can't compare to an actress like her with such a remarkable achievement."

...

I have to say that these media people who make gossip have their own unique skills. In the following overwhelming praises of merit, Cha Xiaoxin, who also gave the praises, also summed up a ranking list with a piece of pay.

Cheng Long, who finally succeeded in his second attempt in Hollywood-from 8 million; Zhou Runfa, who took a circle of actor, gave 4 million dividends; Hong Jinbao 4 million; Leslie Cheung 4 million; Andy Lau 3 million; Xu Guanwen 2 million; Tam Alan 2 million; Jacky Cheung 90 Million...

The most staggering thing is that Zhou Xingchi, which is rapidly becoming popular, has 4 million!

Female celebrities will naturally not fall: Lin Qingxian, who also brushed the shadow queen, 4 million; Mui Yanfang 1.5 million; Zhong Chuhong 1.2 million; Zhang Manyu 1 million; Wang Zuxian 1 million; Guan Zhilin 900,000...

Even Gong Li, who came to Xiangjiang from the mainland to seek further development, has not fallen-500,000.

Of course, this is just gossip of bloggers' eyeballs, not to mention the authority, some of the celebrities that are drawn are purely grandstanding.

For example, Michelle Yeoh is still the Pan’s grandmother; Liu Jialing is also married to a wealthy family; the price of 900,000 yuan is worth ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and there is no possibility of special filming. She already has a beauty pageant and a female star halo. , Is busy as Tang Huan’s agent, traveling between the mainland and Xiangjiang for business.

...

The richest man went around in Xiangjiang, bringing positive energy and sweeping away the gray area. It was time to move to another place, so people who wanted to meet increasingly sharpened their heads to find ways.

Zhong Huagong, Zhong Huasheng, and the newly selected Jiandong boss Cheng Yaoxing finally got such an opportunity in the "bathroom."

...

I'm going through a long way,

Bring a bravery and warm heart,

Regain self and true feelings,

Stop looking at the writer's hometown.

...

"This drumbeat is really exciting, how do you feel that there is no such tune in the record store." Cheng Yaoxing, who had escaped because of running to Haojiang Racing, shook his head and sang without knowing the sky.

"This is Tang Sheng's self-entertainment work, of course you can't find it outside." The receptionist explained lightly, "The facilities here are world-class. You can enjoy and wait."

Zhong Huagong grabbed Cheng Yaoxing who was eager to try, and replied with a smile: "No, we can just wait while drinking tea."

Although Cheng Yaoxing was not very happy, he didn't have much to say on this occasion, so he could only wait.

I don't know how many times after humming "The long road is a long way, let me go", only to see a slender figure walking out from the end of the corridor.

Seeing Zhang Min hurriedly erecting the collar of his men's shirt to block the mark on his neck, Zhong Huagong smiled gently and asked, "Ms. Zhang, is Tang Sheng okay?"

"I'm afraid I will have to wait a while." Hurry back~ asked Zhang Min, blushing.

...

ps: I'm really dizzy. "Reply~asked" is also a harmonious word. Can you tell me why?
