Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 255 The God of Management on Treasure Island

A group can get rich suddenly, but soft resources such as social contacts, corporate culture, etc. need to be accumulated and precipitated over time, and the industry under the name of the Wang family has obviously reached the standard.

The first overseas investment started in February 1976, and the establishment of "Indonesia South Asia Company" in Indonesia, and the establishment of "Formosa Plastics America Company" in New Jersey, USA in October 2, and even the registration and establishment of "Formosa Plastics Corporation" in Liberia in March 1978 Formosa Plastics Shipping Co., Ltd., the Formosa Plastics Group, as the leading private enterprise in Baodao, has already jumped out of the pattern of Baodao.

In the original time and space in 1983, the American subsidiary of Formosa Plastics Group began to cooperate with HP to enter the electronics industry.

It is not difficult to see from this that the Wang family is actively expanding their industries at this stage, and Tang Huan, a man with a hand and eye, naturally has too much need for further contact.

Accompanied by Wang Xueling and Jian Mingren, Tang Huan attended the year-end social dinner of Formosa Plastics Group and met brothers Wang Yongqing and Wang Yongzai.

In the original time and space, it was revealed that Wang Yongqing had a fourth wife and more than ten children, while Wang Xueling and Wang Xuehong were sisters from the second bedroom, and they did not inherit the family business, and opened up a new world.

With the help of Tang Huan, Dazhong Computer, established by Wang Xueling and Jian Mingren, quickly became the largest computer service company in Taiwan today.

Coupled with Tang Huan's mutual shareholding relationship with Wang Xueling and Jian Mingren, his relationship with the Wang family is really deep.

Naturally, even though Tang Huan met Wang Yongqing and Wang Yongzai for the first time, he didn't feel too much strangeness.

Formosa Plastics Group itself is a major customer of Fangyuan Computer, and the benefits brought by enterprise informatization have become more and more obvious. Wang Yongqing recognized this progress.

Tang Huan never underestimates others just because he has the advantage of information asymmetry. The information age in the original time and space only provides convenience for people, and does not mean improving people's wisdom.

And Wang Yongqing's views have always been praised by others. For example, he said, "A dollar you earn is not your dollar, but a dollar you save is your dollar."

It is intriguing to compare it with the dizzying financial system invented by the West and expand from it.

In 2004, according to the statistical results of Forbes magazine, Wang Yongqing of Formosa Plastics and Guo Taiming of Hon Hai were both worth 28 billion US dollars, tied for the richest person in Taiwan, and ranked 188th in the world.

As a matter of fact, Wang Yongqing's property is not only in one basket of Baodao. The general opinion is that Wang Yongqing's personal wealth is seriously underestimated, and his global wealth ranking should be before the 95th.

The most obvious evidence is that when the inheritance was declared, Baodao was about US$17 billion, Xiangjiang was more than US$40 billion, and there was a larger part in the United States, whose total assets were estimated to be nearly US$200 billion.

It is self-evident who the actual richest man in Baodao is.

This phenomenon may not be a cleverness in dealing with people.

While interacting with the family members of the Wang family, Tang Huan kept an appropriate distance from other members. The relationship between each house is not that simple, and the prince who is also from the second house and is being trained as a successor Lord, the future is also different from the path chosen by Wang Xueling and Wang Xuehong.

As long as I get the help that can help the IT industry, there is no need to get involved.

……

At this banquet, Tang Huan drank a little too much, and when he woke up the next day, he felt hungover.

This reminded him suddenly of Gu Long, who was addicted to alcohol, and he didn't know how the other party recovered from his injuries after the Yinsong Pavilion incident.

Xiangjiang's game development team is working on the project of "Peerless Two Pride", and it is in full swing. When it is released, it may still need this old man to shout and cheer.

As a result, when Tang Huan saw Gu Long, he was startled. Originally, the other party was quite a strong man, especially his chubby head, which was considered a sign, but now he was obviously thinner.

Looking at Gu Long who was drinking wine with Wo Longsheng, Tang Huan shook his head again and again, "Is the injury healed, I can't help my appetite."

"I have wine today and I'm drunk today, come, let's drink together." Gu Long, with a gloomy expression, repeatedly invited.

This literary hero has inherited the free and easy style in his works, and has not changed his initial attitude towards getting along with Tang Huan at all because of the improvement of Tang Huan's status.

Tang Huan's eyes fell on Wo Longsheng, and he asked lightly, "Why don't you persuade me?"

"How can he listen?" Wo Longsheng smiled wryly, "I just had a quarrel with his wife, Mei Baozhu, and I'm getting more and more depressed."

"It's normal for couples to quarrel. As for drinking, don't you take your own health seriously." Tang Huan couldn't understand Gu Long's actions, and there was a sentence he didn't say. If you keep your body, how can you be bound by a woman?

However, what Wo Longsheng said just now is also true. Talented scholars have their own world in their hearts, and it is difficult to listen to other people's persuasion.

Seeing Gu Long pouring himself a drink with drunken eyes, Wo Longsheng explained in a low voice, "Recently, besides his bad luck of being injured, the film company is also not going well, and he lost a lot of money in a daze. It is estimated that there is not much left of the money.”

"No way." Hearing these words, Tang Huan couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

"People like us have never been good at managing money." Wo Longsheng laughed at himself helplessly.

No matter how lonely a hero is, he still cannot escape the secular economic foundation.

Tang Huan pondered for a while. Gu Long's martial arts novels are his wealth, but in the 1970s they were adapted and filmed a large number of movies, and the craze has gradually passed. There are also several TV series of "Peerless Twins", but it is impossible to put them on the screen too intensively in the future, and even with this kind of product, it will not be so easy to realize.

However, after all, I own a TV station, so I might as well provide some support to relieve Gu Long's immediate needs.

You know, TVB is planning to shoot "Dragon and Babu". According to the historical development trend, a large number of costume martial arts TV dramas will emerge in the next few years. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bad street.

Jin Yong's works were basically booked early by TVB, and DreamWorks had to find a way from Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and others in order to cope with the upsurge of martial arts TV dramas throughout the 1980s.

"Have you heard that I bought Li's TV in Xiangjiang and renamed it Media Asia TV." Tang Huan knocked on the table and asked.

"Your business has grown so big?" Gu Long burped and muttered to himself.

Wo Longsheng scratched his head, and replied embarrassedly, "I didn't pay much attention to the news in this area."

"I guess you just remember to drink." Tang Huan patted the table dumbfounded, "Heroes, you don't even know when the business comes. If the TV station wants to shoot martial arts TV series, can't your works be sold for money?"

Hearing this, Gu Long was shocked, as if he had woken up a little from the alcohol, he shook Tang Huan's arm with a smile on his face, "Boss Tang, you are really timely, how do you buy it, pack it up like a video game What? I'll sell it all to you."

"I won't be poked in the back and robbed by someone." Tang Huan broke free and said slowly, "I'll buy your martial arts novel's exclusive right to adapt a TV series in Xiangjiang; it doesn't have to be filmed immediately, but the deadline It was all in the 1980s; you can continue to sell Baodao’s TV adaptation rights, but you are obliged to notify me in advance.”

"No problem, I'll listen to you." Gu Long nodded like a chicken pecking at broken rice, "You can buy them all."

"Do you think I'm being taken advantage of?" Tang Huan scolded with a smile, "First pick works such as "Peerless Twins" and "Little Li Feidao", and just use them. The money was exchanged for wine and drank into the stomach.”

Although Tang Huan didn't mind pulling Gulong, he couldn't compromise his shrewd reputation.

""Peerless Twins" was filmed by Taiwan TV in 1977, and by TVB in Xiangjiang in 1979." Gu Long reminded.

"I know, it doesn't matter. Didn't I buy several works? "Peerless Twins" is scheduled to be filmed two or three years later, and the audience will feel fresh again." Tang Huan nodded.

He naturally knew that in 1979, TVB went to great lengths to hire Mi Xue to play the role of Su Ying in order to film "The Greatest Love". In 1988, they filmed Tony Leung's version of "The Greatest Love", which was produced by Hong Kong Xie Ning, who was born as a young lady, starred as Su Ying.

In the original time and space, no less than 8 versions of "Peerless Twins" were filmed for TV series alone, which shows how long-lasting the attraction of this theme is.

"Boss Tang, take care of my business too." Wo Longsheng flattered Tang Huan with a glass of wine, and brought it up with both hands.

"Of course." Tang Huan took the wine and drank it all in one gulp, "Let's pick "Flying Swallows Startled the Dragon" and "Crimson Snow Profound Shuang" first, the rules are the same as Gu Long's."

The main feature of Wolongsheng's martial arts novels is that the male protagonist is pursued by many beauties, and the result is often that the female protagonists are described with distinctive personalities, vividly written on the page, while the male protagonists pale in comparison.

In the original time and space, "Flying Swallows Startled the Dragon" was adapted into "The Crane and the Magic Needle", and "Crimson Snow and Xuanshuang" was adapted into "Snowflake Excalibur", which are quite well-known.

All in all, under the appearance of being eager for justice, Tang Huan also calculated the gains and losses of interests. This is the so-called equalization of interests and win-win situation.

At the end of the chat, Tang Huan knocked on the table again, "For more detailed matters, I will let my subordinates deal with them, and I will not ask them personally."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan took out an envelope and put it in front of Gu Long, "I didn't have time to express my condolences immediately when you encountered an accident this time, so I will make it up now."

"How embarrassing." Gu Long scratched his head shyly.

"Just take it." Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, stood up and said goodbye, and kindly reminded, "Don't be so greedy, and if you don't pay attention to health care, you will feel powerless when you see beautiful women."

"Mr. Tang taught me a lesson." Gu Long and Wo Longsheng laughed and sent Tang Huan out the door.

Tang Huan waved his hand, got into the car, glanced at Gu Long and Wo Longsheng, and said to himself that you should restrain yourself in your living habits, otherwise it would be a pity to die young.

……

It can be said that Tang Huan was overwhelmed with the entertainment in Baodao, and he was delayed for a long time at Acer and Lianhua alone. As for Hon Hai, which is still unknown at this time, he can only be in the back row.

When Tang Huan arrived in Japan, it was January 1981, and people here had just celebrated the New Year.

Of course, the sales of game consoles and personal computers also took advantage of this opportunity to blow out.

The main purpose of Tang Huan's coming to Japan is to transfer part of the production capacity of Epson printers to the mainland. At present, there are frequent exchanges between China and Japan, so there shouldn't be any problems in operation.

After meeting Hideaki Yaskawa, the other party had no objection, and speculated that Reijiro Hattori would not only agree, but might also give up the control of Epson that Tang Huan had coveted for a long time.

It turned out that Hattori Reijiro became interested in the position of the head of the Hattori family.

The family's main business is Seiko watches, and luxury items like jewelry, and products like printers are just sidelines.

As Tang Huan's influence on the Epson printer grew, Reijiro Hattori, who was tired of coping, had subtly changed from the annoyance of luring wolves into the house, and it was not impossible to hand over control in a flexible way.

Because he was deeply attracted by the batch of gems on the Lady Atoka, the few treasures brought back from San Francisco had just appeared in Japan and attracted the attention of dignitaries.

Located in the heart of Ginza, Tokyo, the art gallery on the sixth floor, "Wako Hall", has been overcrowded recently, and people just want to witness those perfect natural gemstones.

The status of the Hattori family in the Japanese fashion industry has also been raised to a new height. Reijiro Hattori has made great contributions to this.

Ever since, he felt that he could give up his sideline printer business, while Tang Huan, who was not very good at jewelry, continued to provide gemstone resources.

After seeing Hattori Reijiro, who was obviously much more enthusiastic than before, Tang Huan quickly understood the other party's wishful thinking. This guy is not young, but he is still so ambitious, which is really amazing.

"Of course, there are room for flexibility." Tang Huan replied.

All kinds of mutual testing and bargaining are the most boring.

It is nothing more than that Reijiro Hattori wants to improve his status within the family by promoting the development of the main business of the Seiko Group, and the batch of natural gemstones controlled by Tang Huan's Shennong Fund will be sold sooner or later. Maximize both fame and fortune.

Now it's okay to tilt a little bit on Japan's side, anyway, they are not short of money now.

In fact, the result of mutual compromise between the two parties.It can be called a win-win situation, and it cannot be simply measured by the amount on paper.

After the Hattori family relegated to the second place in Epson, they can still enjoy the rewards of the company's rapid development, while Tang Huan quietly obtained the most important precision processing technology.

The value of this kind of technical background accumulated by Japan over the past few decades cannot be fully evaluated by Reijiro Hattori, who is focused on the position of the patriarch.

His cooperation proposal has little resistance within the family, and Epson's management is looking forward to falling into Tang Huan's arms as soon as possible. The entire power transfer process was completed at an astonishing speed. Seeking listing news.

All in all, the whole Epson welcomed Tang Huan, who came as the new owner, peacefully. With a slight exception, the watch department was a little uneasy about its future.

Tang Huan also felt scratching his head. Epson's watch business was the foundation of the company's start. Currently, it mainly sells through Seiko's channel. It is operating fairly well, but it is a bit far from Tang Huan's IT positioning, allowing him to separate this department. I can't bear to give it to the Seiko Group.

After repeated consideration, Tang Huan decided.It is better to maintain the current structure, so I specifically appeased this department, and promised that I will never ignore the relevant investment.

Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture, where the headquarters of Epson is located, is not a modern metropolis in the general sense, but Tang Huan is too lazy to make a big change. Anyway, in the original time and space, it has always stayed in this secluded place without causing any inconvenience. .

After holding the power, Tang Huan finally fulfilled his wish and issued an order to develop inkjet printers. HP must not let HP be better than the previous ones. In addition to continuing the 24-pin project, dot matrix printers also have to deal with the pursuit of other competitors. .

Judging from the current market research, in 1981, that is, this year, Epson will still maintain its leading position in the dot matrix printer market, but it will be hard to say until next year. Japan's technological advantages are overall. When money is made on computer printers, other companies will naturally follow suit.

After Tang Huan let his subordinates have a clear understanding of these unavoidable competitions, he ignored them. Instead, he asked Yaskawa Hideaki to form a team and immediately send them to the special zone in the mainland to investigate the construction of the factory.

Tang Huan and Sun Zhengyi met in Taidong after personally eagerly sending the flattered employees on the plane to the mainland in Tokyo.

This man’s entrepreneurial journey in Japan has been much smoother than in the original time and space. With the popularity of Xiaobawang game consoles and Fangyuan computers in Japan, his computer magazine has too much content to publish, and he can still do it. The most important point - down to earth.

Because the game update speed is the fastest, Sun Zhengyi will naturally pay more attention to the dynamics of EA Japan and Taidong. After hearing that Taidong, which has completed business adjustments, is finally going to re-launch the arcade, he came over to see it with Tang Huan.

On the road of using MC68000 to develop the second-generation game console, Zheru encountered some problems. The main manifestation is that the heat dissipation effect is not satisfactory in the narrow space of the main box of the home game console.
