Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 352 Special New Year Gift

Tang Huan's support for the work of his subordinates can sometimes be seen from the degree of his participation in this project.

For example, the song "Xia Ke" is Tang Huan's promotional song borrowed from the original time and space for the Chinese version of "Street Fighter".

It is undeniable that games are also a form of culture. EA has been working hard to please players in the setting of game backgrounds, and "Street Fighter" is no exception.

Thanks to Tang Huan's platform-based concept of product development, Xiaobawang arcade has become a general-purpose environment for games with strong performance.

Of course, this generalization is currently only open and effective to EA itself.

And "Street Fighter" is also following a platform-based technical route, and even has a structure that can be called a "game engine".

With this foundation, "Street Fighter" can be said to have done a good job in seeking regional gaming cultural identity.

Due to the significant reduction in repetitive technical workload, the difficulty of adding game characters with various cultural backgrounds is naturally reduced. It can even be launched through regular version changes like the famous multiplayer online competitive game "League of Legends" in the original time and space. More unique hero characters.

Due to the objective limitations of the current technical level, the performance of home video game consoles is obviously difficult to meet Tang Huan's preferences.

Therefore, after getting on the right track in this field, and after the N-in-1 game ideas were almost dumped, he was less interested in directing it himself.

On the contrary, the Xiaobawang arcade machine equipped with the MC68000 processor and the graphics core developed by Zheru barely met the hardware platform standard required by Tang Huan to show his technological ambitions.

Coupled with EA's current dominance in the industry, game production can not only lead the trend in this time and space, but also does not have to follow the trends of the original time and space. This is the case with Street Fighter, which is at least a third different from the original version.

The so-called Chinese version of "Street Fighter" does not simply refer to the interface language, but also refers to the game content. It specially adds three characters from martial arts novels. Hua Wuque, Zhang Danfeng with two swords.

"The Knight" was launched by Tang Huan in the context of the martial arts style of "Street Fighter".It is even more appropriate for him to sing at the annual meeting now.

Because everyone has a heart of vanity, and his dazzling achievements are now worshiped as gods by the subordinates in front of him. Tang Huan's lofty ambitions are irresistibly aroused.

I saw him walking like a dragon and a tiger on the stage, looking down at the world. At the same time, he accompanied the lyrics of "Beheading the dragon in the river, soaring with the sword into the sky, and shooting the eagle in the clouds to shame the hero", which directly pushed the atmosphere to the highest level.

Those subordinates who were so proud of themselves yelled, "Ask who this person is, the number one hero in the world."

In this annual meeting, in addition to the employees of various companies with the prefix "Zhiru", there are also a group of performers, mainly artists under DreamWorks, and other celebrities with close cooperation, such as TVB Run Run Shaw and Fong Yihua from Ming Pao, Jin Yong from Ming Pao, Hu Xian from Sing Tao Daily, Huang Zhan and Lin Yanni from Wong & Lam Advertising Company, etc.

Seeing such a frenzied reaction, those outside the "philosophy and Confucianism department" were immediately dumbfounded, unable to understand the reason.

Huang Zhan praised Lin Yanni beside him: "Mr. Tang's personal charm is so great, I'm a little jealous."

Jin Yong and Run Run Shaw, who were not far away, looked at each other and nodded knowingly.

"The Philosophy and Confucian company has a good heart, but fortunately DreamWorks is not like that." Fang Yihua muttered fortunately.

"Because this is Tang Huan's foundation." Run Run Shaw said lightly while watching the stage.

After interacting with his subordinates for several rounds and singing a song with Zhang Delan, Tang Huan was allowed to leave the stage.

"Mr. Tang has such a solid foundation in music, why don't you come to be the judge of the Rookie Singing Contest." Fang Yihua joked.

Tang Huan laughed loudly, "Miss Fang is too flattering. My level is only good enough to yell casually in such a lively and non-critical occasion."

"Mr. Tang is really humble. If you are willing to attend, maybe we can save a lot of invitation fees." Fang Yihua's compliment seemed to imply another layer of meaning.

Tang Huan smiled and said nothing and did not answer the question.

The rookie singing contest that Fang Yihua mentioned was originally planned to be held by TVB and Huaxing under its name, but the news leaked out for some reason, and Hu Yinmeng got the news, so he took the initiative to come to the door, and bluntly said that he also had the idea of ​​finding new talents. Ideas, why not cooperate with everyone, as for the potential rookies selected in the end, negotiate and distribute.

Fang Yihua has always been wary of DreamWorks, not to mention that the reason for holding this rookie singing contest is to imitate the other party's model of all-round entertainment content production, and make up for the shortcomings of the record. Naturally, she doesn't want to lure wolves into the house.

You must know that although the current China Star was established as early as 1971, its business at that time was mainly to hold concerts and act as an agent for TVB to distribute records. There were no Xiangjiang singers to join or release albums, so it was not much better than a shell company. .

On the other hand, the record department of DreamWorks is full of talents. Recently, Meiling Chen, who made a breakthrough in Japan, was brought under its banner. It is even rumored that Luo Wen also intends to join.

Comparing the two, it seems that TVB's short board is stretched.

Fang Yihua even thought that Hu Yinmeng might have the plan to overwhelm the guest and occupy the magpie's nest, so he directly refused.

Hu Yinmeng was very dissatisfied, and said bluntly: "Then DreamWorks can only hold an audition."

Fang Yihua's reaction at the time was, "Who is afraid of whom."

However, during the formal establishment of Huaxing's record department and manager department, Fang Yihua encountered a dilemma. He originally wanted to recruit some professionals in the industry, but found that his respective bosses had already been strictly guarding him.

Gein DreamWorks' long-term recruitment has aroused the vigilance of traditional major record companies such as Polygram, EMI, and Universal.

In the original time and space, in the initial stage of Huaxing's rise, they got Li Xiaotian, Leslie Cheung and other talent resources who left Li TV, but now these people are staying safely in DreamWorks.

Fang Yihua in turn evaluated it with his subordinates and found that compared with relying on the resources of DreamWorks, working with the other party may not be as dangerous as imagined, not to mention this is the first time such an event has been held, and there is a partner to share the burden. The risk is not bad. At worst, after getting on the right track, we can then kick DreamWorks away.

However, because the refusal was too direct and decisive at the time, there is now less room for buffering, and Fang Yihua is unwilling to bow to Hu Yinmeng to show weakness, and the situation has been stalemate for a while.

Fang Yihua was thinking about what kind of intermediary to find to pass the message to Hu Yinmeng, but found that DreamWorks had already started preparing for the singer's audition.

In a place as big as Xiangjiang, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose if two activities with the same purpose are held at the same time.

After seeing Tang Huan this time, Fang Yihua, who couldn't help but feel a little anxious, tried to find an opportunity to deal with him from him.

Tang Huan, who guessed the opponent's purpose, was too lazy to pay attention to this level of fighting.

If there is a better sound system, high-definition TV, and entertainment for all when celebrities go down from the altar, maybe he is still interested in intervening in programs such as "The Voice of China".

Seeing Tang Huan narrowing his eyes, tapping the time, and listening to Zhang Delan on stage singing the theme song of the TV series "Martial Arts Emperor Flower", Fang Yihua resentfully put away his lobbying thoughts.

"The influence of DreamWorks' "The Martial Arts Emperor's Flower" is not an exaggeration to say that it has swept across Southeast Asia, and even Cantonese opera has become very popular recently." Jin Yong praised it sincerely.

"It's just that the newspaper said that the screenwriting of "The Martial Arts Emperor's Flower" is somewhat similar to Mr. Cha's masterpiece "The Sword of Jade Blood." Fang Yihua belittled it in a joking tone.

Hearing this, the men nearby laughed, tacitly ignoring these unnecessary disputes.

After the lively and perfect ending of the year, Tang Huan personally saw off the guests and thanked all partners for coming.

After finishing these trivial matters, Tang Huan came to the car. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Weng Jingjing, who was smiling like a flower, sitting inside and waving.

"Are you on vacation?" Tang Huan pampered the other person's face, "I'm going to the mainland next, and I'll take you to Yanjing for fun."

"I don't want to go. I heard that the winter there is very cold." Weng Jingjing shook her head, "Besides, I still have to make up lessons and prepare to apply for Xiangjiang University."

At this stage, middle school students in Xiangjiang who want to enter university have to face the test of thousands of troops squeezing a single-plank bridge. Although Weng Jingjing is smart enough, she also needs to work hard.

However, this girl used to come out to work with all her heart to be financially independent, and now she is thinking about making further progress in her studies. Such a change is quite intriguing.

"If you are ambitious, I will reward you well." Tang Huan nodded approvingly.

Weng Jingjing took advantage of the situation and leaned on Tang Huan, chirping some interesting things, which made Tang Huan feel a lot more relaxed.

After returning to the villa, Weng Jingjing followed Tang Huan into the bathroom, playing with the water lively.

"My little brother, you are so naughty!" Tang Huan laughed heartily.

"At the head of the small bridge, leaning under the willow tree, you can see red sleeves all over the building." Weng Jingjing giggled, "Your ambition is so big."

"You have indeed learned a lot. You should be rewarded heavily." Tang Huan applauded.

……

The next day, Tang Huan came to the office early and personally inspected a batch of important goods that were about to be shipped to the mainland.

These include two Fangyuan network servers NS-4800 for banking systems, and ten Fangyuan personal workstations PW-2400 for design use.

In addition, there are a batch of special New Year's gifts, the key components for building a supercomputer: 32 Yipeng/Holder-S processors, as well as supporting coprocessors, and memory for several modules.

China's Galaxy 1 is already in the research and development process, and it is taking the path of completely independent design and manufacturing. The target computing power is 1 million times, that is, 100 MFLOPS, which is still far from the current world mainstream level.

This research and development model has its own value. Tang Huan has no intention of commenting on it, and it is currently a state secret. He does not want to get involved, but has prepared the model of Singapore's DBS One.

It can be said that taking advantage of the background of Sino-US relations in the honeymoon period, and his technological achievements have not attracted the attention of Batumi and the US Department of Commerce, Tang Huan boldly played the sidelines.

The key components of these supercomputers will be built into a supercomputer with a computing capacity of about 300 MFLOPS after half a year to a year in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Science and Technology Commission and other departments after entering China.

China, a country with a vast territory, needs medium and long-term weather forecasts, while oil survey data and calculations are often sent to foreign countries for commissioned calculations.

These two future supercomputers are designed to meet these civilian and commercial needs.

As for whether it is used for national defense purposes, there will naturally be too many excuses at that time, and Tang Huan should have withdrawn from the matter long ago.

Such a sincere and special gift will naturally be rewarded accordingly.For example, the procurement of the open banking system, the procurement of post and telecommunications equipment, the larger credit line of state-owned banks including Xiangjiang Bank of China, and even policy inclinations.

These high-end fields are the coveted targets of major foreign multinational companies, but because they have no access, they can only wait and see, while Tang Huan is going to eat a few mouthfuls of delicious cakes in advance.

If it is said that the promotion of personal computers in mainland China has some idealistic color, then entering the high-end field is mainly driven by commercial interests.

"Is this batch of goods transported smoothly in Xiangjiang?" Tang Huan asked with concern.

"It's always been safe and sound." Lu Xiaohu chuckled, "Since the last time tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars killed a bunch of gangs, big and small, it's been a lot cleaner."

"You have to transport this batch of goods to Yanjing in person and hand them over to my uncle Meng Qingguan to complete the task." Tang Huan solemnly warned, "I want to go to Yangcheng to discuss business first and accept the invitation. Attend the Provincial-Hong Kong Cup football match and then go north.”

Lu Xiaohu nodded his head to show he understood, and then he led the people away.

……

The business Tang Huan mentioned refers to the two items of Jianlibao and Li Ning sportswear.

Although there is not yet the general environment in which the country encouraged the development of the sports industry in the original time and space, the boost that participating in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics can bring is also very considerable.

Against such a background, Tang Huan's turning stone into gold must be like a fish in water, and in the original time and space, Jianlibao, which started as a small township enterprise, seized this opportunity and began to rise.

So Tang Huan planned to do these two projects smoothly. As long as the agent is arranged, it will not involve too much energy.

Moreover, such traditional industries will actually provide a large number of employment opportunities, benefiting the general public,

This can be regarded as an investment consideration that Tang Huan, who never forgets that he is a grassroots engineer, often remembers it.
