Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 264 Soliciting the royal family to work
"There are so many links in the middle, what a waste of time, you are not in Paris, it would be great to handle it yourself." Hu Yinmeng was a little disapproving.

"Do you think I'm so free? Besides, you don't see what I am now, to run errands for a movie that is not invested by DreamWorks?" Tang Huan didn't think it was funny.

"Earn a word of mouth, this time it works well, I also have face in Xiangjiang, the status of DreamWorks has also increased accordingly." After Hu Yinmeng realized the righteousness, he began to be emotional, "Would you like to come forward in person? If not, I will call Lin Qingxia later and tell her your attitude, don't think that I don't know how far you have developed your relationship in the United States."

"Oh, you dare to threaten the boss." After Tang Huan cursed with a smile, he agreed.

"That's right. You don't know, the Xu Brothers' "Modern Bodyguard" has been a hit at the box office until now, and it is rumored that it is about to set an annual box office record. It would be hypocritical to say that you are not envious. "Obviously, Hu Yinmeng, a female literary youth, has been reformed by Tang Huan to be keen on the commercial competition of movies.

……

After Tang Huan met the boss of Gaumont Company, Nicholas Sedoux, the other party directly complained: "Tang, I really shouldn't have agreed to let Sophie Marceau to you. Look, she is already popular in Europe. , became a cash cow."

"It doesn't matter who owns it. We can still cooperate closely." Tang Huan, who intercepted Hu Gaomeng, smiled lightly, so as not to aggravate the other party's sense of regret.

"That's true. At present, it seems that the filming preparations for the film sequel are going well." Nicholas Seydoux could only comfort himself in this way.

Taking a chance, Tang Huan talked to Nicholas Sedoux about the movie "Love Killing", and emphasized, "This is the director from Xiangjiang, who borrowed from Jean-Luc Godard's techniques to shoot It is an exploratory film. You can rest assured that it is simply borrowing from the shooting technique and does not involve sensitive topics such as politics."

You know, from 1968 to the 1970s, Jean-Luc Godard, a well-known director, tried to inject social movement ideas into his films, visited different places many times, and shot political and experimental films. High films, but most were rejected for screening.

However, starting from 1980, Jean-Luc Godard began to shoot more orthodox films such as "Sauve qui peut" - "Slow Motion", etc. In comparison, the controversy is less.

Nicholas Sedoux quickly understood what Tang Huan meant. This was a film that the Xiangjiang film industry learned from the French film industry.

However, this matter was really not seen by the two bosses, and they directly explained it to their subordinates.

Therefore, when Tan Jiaming and the assistants of DreamWorks arrived in Paris with the film copy, Tang Huan just met briefly and sent him to find the Gaumont company.

……

In the future, Tang Huan will have more important matters to deal with in the United States, so he doesn't want to be delayed too much.

Seeing how Christina was enjoying herself while teasing her two sons, Tang Huan said goodbye.

"Honey, please help me get rid of that British treasure by the way. I really planned to take that batch of Roman gold coins to the Paris exhibition. The Louvre Museum is very interested. But all kinds of entanglements in the UK, just Even the royal family relationship has been used, I really don’t bother to care about it. When you pass by London, deal with that Prince Charles, Buckingham Palace has just announced his engagement, and he is probably in high spirits.” Christina took a stack of ship diagrams Flipping through it, he said lazily.

"Are they planning to play an emotional card? It's really not easy to extract oil and water from the British." Tang Huan couldn't help laughing, "If you have played enough, then just use these treasures to set up a foundation in the UK Well, it is said that Prince Charles is keen on various foundations, and getting him involved can be regarded as capital.”

"Is it like Shennong Fund?" Christina's eyes lit up. She still understood the invisible influence of Shennong Fund in the United States.

"How do you feel?" Tang Huan nodded and asked back.

"It's up to you, but this time I will be the chairman of the foundation." Christina made the only request.

……

The place where Tang Huan and Charles met was St. James's Palace. Although the British monarch has not lived here for nearly two centuries, it is still the official palace of the British monarch and ranks first among the British royal palaces .

It can be seen that the standard of entertainment arranged by the other party is still quite high, but Tang Huan accepts it calmly. After all, he currently has a net worth of 20 billion US dollars, although he does not know when the big shrinkage will occur.

This is a private meeting, in addition to the 33-year-old Charles, accompanied by Constantine II, the last king of Greece.

This is also a person with a story. In 1960, Constantine, who was then a prince, competed in the Summer Olympics held in Rome and won the gold medal in sailing. He was only 20 years old at the time.

In 1964, his father Paul I died of cancer, and Constantine succeeded to the throne as Constantine II.

In 1967, the military launched a coup and the royal family fled to Rome, leaving the monarchy in name only.By 1973, the royal family was simply declared abolished.

After the collapse of the military government in 1974, the New Democratic Party won a big victory in the parliamentary elections and announced a referendum to decide whether Greece should continue to adopt a constitutional monarchy or rebuild a republic.

The result of the referendum was that the overwhelming majority of the people agreed to be converted into a republic.

In this regard, Constantine II respected this result and recognized the establishment of the Republic, but he could not return to Greece and had to continue in exile.

Fortunately, there has always been an in-law relationship among European royal families. Constantine married his cousin Danish princess Anne-Marie in Athens in 1964 when he inherited the throne. His sister Sophia married the current Spanish King Juan in 1962. . Carlos I.

Moreover, Constantine himself has a blood relationship with Queen Victoria of England and Kaiser Wilhelm I and other major European royal families. For example, this Charles is his cousin.

Therefore, Constantine, who has no ambitions, lives a life of a rich man even though he lives under the fence.

In Tang Huan's view, apart from their royal status, Charles and Constantine have no capital to show, and they are far behind the Kuwait royal family, so his enthusiasm is not very high, of course, it will not be directly expressed on the face.

Since he was still thinking about the things in the United States, after visiting St. James's Palace, Tang Huan said straight to the point: "I can make a decision on Christina's behalf, and these treasures will stay in the UK. On this basis First, set up a foundation to support public welfare, and entrust relevant departments to help manage the cultural relics. If your Highness is interested, welcome to join."

Upon hearing this, Charles couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect the matter to be resolved so easily. It's a man who does things with ease.

You know, because of this matter, Christina, the rich and willful ship queen, made England uneasy, and vented all the anger that the media had blackmailed her before. , unattended.

But now, things are in a way that everyone can accept.Got a perfect solution.

And Charles, who came forward to mediate the matter, naturally played an extremely important role. For Charles, who has not yet looked so bad in the eyes of the British, it is undoubtedly an opportunity to improve his reputation.

"I've always been enthusiastic about public welfare activities. Thank you Don for giving me this opportunity." Charles accepted the invitation without restraint.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan narrowed his eyes slightly and made a calculation in his mind.

In the original time and space, this Prince Charles was a wonderful person.

For example, he is actively expanding the number of fund recipients under his name, and he is very good at making money. Even though he is ridiculed, he is still enthusiastic about the cultivation and promotion of organic crops in the dukedom. The organic food company he founded, Finally turned around in 2003 and brought himself an income of at least £100 million.

In addition, the income gained from the real estate business and the sale of gifts also went into Charles's pocket.

However, he ended up embroiled in a tax evasion scandal.

Tang Huan was not surprised by all these things.

Although the European royal families have no worries about food and clothing, in order to maintain a glamorous decency, the expenses are not low, and life is not easy. If they don't have a rake that can hold money and a brain that can calculate carefully, they can only sit and eat.

"Your Highness, Zheru has been funding a personal computer training project, and plans to expand it to the UK, why don't we try to cooperate." Tang Huan has already regarded Charles as a businessman, and the main content of his conversation illustrates this a little.

"Let's talk about it in detail." Sure enough, Charles became interested.

In fact, what Tang Huan was talking about was Zheru’s product certification, which is currently divided into three categories:
Zerone Certified Office of spreadsheet software CGrid and word processing software WordEasy—Zerone Office application certification;
Database EBase and Zerone Certified DataBase of various information management systems derived from it—Zheru database certification;

Zero Certified Development for assembly language programming tool MA and C language programming tool CPC - Zheru development certification.

All certification exams are free, but you need to make an appointment and line up, and it is quite difficult, because both theoretical and practical assessments must be completed at the same time, and both are indispensable.

Of course, candidates have to spend their own money to buy the textbooks involved in the exam.

This activity has been carried out in the United States for more than a year, and it has developed very rapidly. It has expanded to all major cities in North America, and has given birth to a new training industry. More and more.

Zheru's active promotion of this activity is naturally to expand his own influence and tie more people to his software platform.

So, be prepared to keep throwing money at it, as predicted by the marketing department.However, with the brisk sales of related textbooks, the shortfall is not so obvious.

For this other form of marketing, Charles obviously did not realize its power. He was completely attracted by the upright name of popularizing personal computer knowledge, enhancing work ability, increasing employment rate, etc., and immediately agreed to participate.

Tang Huan looked at Charles with a smile, and said that your advertising is still very effective. Once Zheru's product certification system has gained a firm foothold in the UK, its local personal computer brands such as Aikon Computer should enter the market. It's in history.

Turning his gaze to Constantine, Tang Huan said sincerely: "I don't know if your status allows you to participate in such activities. If you can, welcome to join in."

"This is a very meaningful event, and I naturally don't want to miss it." Constantine is no longer what he used to be, and he has put down his figure a long time ago.

After all, this training plan does not seem to have any obvious profit purpose, and it will not have any negative impact on his image. This opportunity to receive a salary can be said to be rare.

"By the way, Don, you are really the author of "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers", which has been sold well in the UK?" Charles asked curiously.

"It's my humble work. Isn't it my style to analyze the rise and fall of countries since 1500 AD from the perspective of economy and technology?" Tang Huan asked with a raised brow.

"Of course it's your style." Charles laughed, "It's just that after I read the above discussion about Britain, I felt emotional unconsciously."

Now that Britain has been reduced to a second-rate power, naturally there will be some sourness in its heart.

Following the historical trajectory, Britain won the Falklands War, which aroused a sense of pride, but it was even more complicated by China's strong countermeasures on the Xiangjiang issue.

Compared with the original version in time and space, Tang Huan wrote "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers" by using the fragments of time accumulated in the gaps of flying, cars, etc., while still being rigorous and incisive, the style of writing is much more lively. After being published by "Random House", one of the six largest publishers in the United States, it immediately entered the New York Times book sales list and became a bestseller.

Judging from the fact that Charles has read the book, the feedback from the publishing house, from the political leaders to the public, is not a lie, and it seems to have surpassed the height reached in the original time and space.

Of course, the world is colorful, and there are many people who oppose Tang Huan's views. Among them, many famous historians directly point out that "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers" is the product of economic determinism and technological determinism.

To this, Tang Huan just responded with a smile. Anyway, most of the content of this book is "referenced". What the dissidents say may not be unreasonable. After all, the original author Paul Kennedy is not omniscient, at least He did not foresee that the Soviet Union would eventually be a fate of disintegration.

As long as this book can help shape the image of an expert in the fields of science and technology and economics, and use the influence gained in the West, and when the Chinese version is released, it can cause the East to rethink the world, and the goal will be achieved.

Following Charles' hobby, Tang Huan chatted with them about history and philosophy for a while, and then planned to leave. The specific matters related to the foundation will naturally be handled by the people below.

But obviously, Charles didn't intend to let Tang Huan go so easily. After keeping him in the name of hosting a banquet, he acted as an intermediary. She has lived, isn't she planning to buy the manor, I can provide information."

After hearing this, Tang Huan remained calm, but he was muttering in his heart that the businessman's nature was showing off.

Christina has been described by the media as a rich but shallow woman, so taking advantage of her is naturally the best business target.

Although I think that even if Christina has enough capital, she shouldn't buy luxury goods on a whim, but the ship queen's face still needs to be maintained.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm, Your Highness. Why don't you take some time to pass on the information to me first, and try to finalize the matter when you come to England next time." Tang Huan nodded briskly.

"After knowing that Miss Onassis' acquisition of AC Milan was not going well, I once gave a suggestion. There are also many teams with historical background in the UK. You might as well buy a team from the second-level league and promote it to the top. It is more fulfilling to be in the league and become a wealthy family. She asked me to help collect the information, and now it has been completed." Charles took a file bag from the attendant with a smile, and put it in front of Tang Huan.

Christina, a prodigal bitch, has left a lot of mess in a big way.

I have said it myself, it is enough to take down an AC patiently.And this thing is like the manor that needs to be maintained every year to maintain the landscape. Only by continuously spending money can we achieve results and achieve the goal of improving the social status of the boss.

She can't chew more than she can chew, and haste makes waste, but she was still fooled into expressing her position indiscriminately.

If I really like British football, I might as well just buy Manchester United, which is still in a low period, but Manchester's geographical location has a high value attached to Milan.

Tang Huan pondered for a while, and instead of opening the file bag on the spot as Charles expected, he asked, "Is there any information about Chelsea?"

Charles glanced at the attendant, seeing him shaking his head slightly, he smiled awkwardly, "No."

Tang Huan nodded slightly, "We've thought about it. If we want to find a backup plan in the British secondary league, Chelsea is a good choice. If your highness has time, why not help us make a match."
