Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 432

In the past two years, in addition to his own IT industry, Tang Huan has also introduced many other companies into the special zone, such as Hasbro toys from the United States, Levi's jeans, etc., which are all labor-intensive industries, even more connected to the current Earth atmosphere.

It can be said that the investment made by Tang Huan alone is not only of high quality, but also the numerical indicators contributed are very eye-catching.

Naturally, Tang Huan received a very high-standard reception during this trip.However, this kind of enthusiasm also made him a little embarrassed. He had some face, but procrastination would waste time.

But after all, this is an essential human relationship, and Zhou Mi still has to sit in Xiangjiang, so Tang Huan had to reluctantly take over by himself.

The production base of Zheru Xiangjiang Company in the special zone covers Fangyuan computers, Xiaobawang game consoles, printers, fax machines, and other computer peripheral equipment. Compared with the production bases in Baodao and Singapore, the technical style Slightly rough.

The special zone has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds in infrastructure construction. When the production base was settled, it encountered many objective constraints such as water, electricity, transportation, and employee life. Now they have all been solved.

Tang Huan, who saw these changes in his eyes, nodded frequently, knowing the next step in his mind.

In fact, with the rapid development of the economy, the opposite Xiangjiang also has great pressure on power supply. Its only two power suppliers, Xiangjiang Electric and CLP Power, are actively expanding.

Heung Kong Electric was established in 1889. Its power supply areas include Hong Kong Island, Ap Lei Chau and Lamma Island. Its first power plant is the Wan Chai Power Plant located at the junction of Star Street and Electric Street in Wan Chai, with an initial power generation capacity of 100 kilowatts. , and finally ceased production in 1922 and was demolished.

The second power plant of Heung Kong Electric is the North Point Power Plant located on Fortress Hill in North Point. In 1918, part of the power generation facilities began to be put into operation, with an initial power generation capacity of 2500 kilowatts.

The North Point Power Plant was ill-fated. During the Second World War, due to lack of fuel and severe damage, it was shut down in 1944. It was not resumed until after the war and continued to operate until the end of the 1970s.The piece of land sorted out after its demolition is naturally still for real estate development.

The third power plant of Heung Kong Electric, which is also the current main power plant, is located in Ap Lei Chau. The first generating unit reached 60 megawatts and was officially put into operation in 1968.

The Ap Lei Chau power plant is very advanced and has fully introduced computer management, but it is still unable to cope with the growing electricity demand of Hong Kong Island.

In September 1978, Heung Kong Electric received official approval from the Hong Kong government to build a larger power plant at Boluozui, Lamma Island. It was developed in multiple phases. The first generating unit began to provide power in 9, that is, this year.

Compared with Heung Kong Electric, which has changed hands several times, Chunghwa Power, founded in 1901, has always been in the hands of the low-key Kadoorie family.

CLP Power is not slow to move forward. Heung Kong Electric’s Ap Lei Chau Power Plant was officially put into operation in 1969, the second year after the official operation of the Tsing Yi Oil-fired Power Plant.This year, Castle Peak Power Plant A was officially put into operation.

In addition, as early as 1979, CLP Power began to connect with Nanyue Province.

As for the connection between Heung Kong Electric and CLP Power, the power supply system was interconnected in 1981. Between North Point and Hung Hom, a 132 kV cross-sea cable was used to connect.

The advantages of this cooperation are obvious. It can not only provide power support to each other in an emergency, but also transmit power to each other and reduce power reserves.

Public service companies such as Xiangjiang Electric and CLP Power are subject to the supervision of the Hong Kong government's profit control agreement. However, with their industry advantages, their profitability is still considerable. After all, electricity has become the same as basic necessities of life. Indispensable necessities for daily life.

Xiangjiang’s power supply business is not under the framework of a monopoly agreement, that is to say, the power company has not designated areas where it can supply power. high threshold.

Therefore, Heungkong Electric and CLP Power jointly control the power supply market of Heungkong, living a stable life, and the pace of business expansion is orderly.

Naturally, the mainland saw the business opportunity of Xiangjiang’s power shortage. Coupled with the needs of the rapid economic development of the special zone, they planned to enter this market and formally finalized this project around 1980. It was the famous Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in the original time and space. .

However, such a large project is most sensitive to political turmoil. Due to the uncertainty of the future of Xiangjiang, the progress of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant encountered resistance at the start-up stage.

At present, Xiangjiang Electric is under the name of Qinhe Group, so this topic has become a focus during the meeting between the senior officials of Nanyue Province and Tang Huan.

No matter Heung Kong Electric or CLP Power, the power generating units are still mainly burning coal. The environmental problems caused by this method are self-evident.

It can be said that while expanding installed capacity, power supply companies must adapt to the situation and seriously consider the diversification and cleanliness of energy sources.

With the successful example of CLP Power in the original time and space, Tang Huan's attitude is naturally very clear, and he is very willing to participate in and promote this project.

After all, in terms of scale alone, Heung Kong Electric currently lags behind CLP Power. Since it has already fallen into its own hands, there is no need to miss the business opportunity in vain.

As for the current delicate political situation, it is just a gust of wind. HSBC has its own motivation for bouncing up and down, and there is no need to play with it for the Jardine department that has been transformed.

In particular, Tang Huan pointed out that he hoped that Zheru Xiangjiang Company could participate in the computer power control system.

In today's power system, computers are playing an increasingly important role. Of course, Tang Huan will not forget such a high-end application field. As long as he successfully establishes a foothold, there will be a steady stream of projects in the future.

During the journey from the Special Economic Zone to Yangcheng, the two sides had a very happy conversation and reached a broad consensus, and the root cause of this is nothing more than a sense of trust.

……

Li Jingwei, who was in charge of Jianlibao, came to the special zone to greet Tang Huan early before Tang Huan went to Yangcheng. He called it a few meals and broadened his career horizons at the same time.

Tang Huan didn't say much, and introduced some contacts to him casually, so that he could get acquainted with the senior management of Nanyue Province and work more conveniently.

After arriving in Yangcheng, Tang Huan was arranged to visit the provincial TV station first, which can be called the first stop of DreamWorks' Hong Kong dramas landing in the mainland.

As long as there is actual content, Tang Huan will not find it boring.

But after seeing Jianlibao's advertisement, he couldn't help complaining, "It's so simple, it's not commensurate with my goal of building a well-known brand like Coca-Cola, you should know the situation in Xiangjiang, and you can learn from it." Is it not coming?"

"We in the mainland are still relatively simple, with too many tricks, and the effect may not be better than simply reading the advertisements." Li Jingwei explained with a smile, "If you look for celebrity endorsements like Xiangjiang, the mainland stars will not be so effective in the system. Once you get off the hook, you're in trouble."

"If you think about it this way, it's really down-to-earth and in line with the actual situation." Tang Huan nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Jingwei's statement.

"Stars from Xiangjiang are not among the restricted ranks, but I don't know how to invite them." Li Jingwei looked at Tang Huan eagerly.

"I understand, so you are waiting for me here." Tang Huan laughed loudly, "Tell me, Lao Li, how did you come up with your wishful thinking?"

"After the TV series "Huo Yuanjia" was broadcast by CCTV, it aroused enthusiastic response across the country. Now the sequel "Chen Zhen" is also popular in provincial and Taiwan channels. The star effect is first-class." Li Jingwei told the truth honestly My own plan: "If I want to hire celebrities to endorse, I want to hire their team. However, I really don't know whether I can hire them and whether I can afford the compensation."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have an idea. If you encounter difficulties, I will support you." Tang Huan waved his hand boldly, "Lao Li, your operation idea is right, the Jianlibao brand needs to be famous now. "

After receiving clear affirmation, Li Jingwei happily accompanied Tang Huan to visit Jianlibao's factory and product R&D center in Yangcheng.

With the support of Tang Huan, a big benefactor, Jianlibao now even has its own can filling workshop, and the ingredients are also precisely controlled by computers, which is many times stronger than the original start-up stage of Time and Space.

Li Jingwei called hundreds of people together, saying that he wanted Tang Huan to review it, but in fact he was to cheer up his subordinates-the real strength of Jianlibao was not blown out.

Tang Huan carefully looked at the people in front of him. Although they were a bit rustic, they were absolutely honest and durable, and they could withstand the hard work of running around for marketing at Jianlibao's entrepreneurial stage.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and I'm trying my best to make Jianlibao a fashionable unit benefit." Li Jingwei, who has been selling drinks for several years, has quite a business experience.

"I'll only check on you at the macro level. For the specific things at the micro level, you just have to work hard. I trust you." Tang Huan took a sip of Jianlibao, "CCTV will hold the first Spring Festival Gala next year, and the funds are quite tight. You have a special fund to sponsor this event to enhance the brand effect of Jianlibao."

"Of course it's good." Li Jingwei's eyes were shining, and the aggressiveness in his bones could be seen at a glance.

……

It was impossible for Jianlibao to cause any trouble at this stage. After Tang Huan took a quick look at it, he immediately focused his attention on the South China R&D Center of Zheru Xiangjiang Company in Yangcheng.

Tang Huan's IT industry layout in the mainland focuses on software research and development. In terms of actions, it is specifically manifested in the establishment of teams focusing on a certain technical direction in cities with concentrated higher education resources such as Yangcheng, Shanghai, and Yanjing.

The R&D direction here in Yangcheng is database and its application solutions in business management and financial analysis.

In fact, these topics are all ordered from the Zheru American company. The mainland is somewhat similar to the positioning of project outsourcing, but the talent training is real.

The direction of database research and development on the Yangcheng side caters to the main needs of enterprise applications, and is just in line with the consulting and service functions on the Xiangjiang side.

"Banking, taxation and other institutions in mainland China, as well as human resources and financial analysis applications in Xiangjiang, have an increasing demand for databases. Our database product EBase, with its excellent performance, especially native support for Chinese, competes with IBM and DEC Get up, without losing the wind." Zhou Weikun introduced carefully.

"Technical strength still needs to be strengthened. Take the computer power management system just discussed with the senior management of Nanyue Province as an example. It is not a small difficulty." Tang Huan gave Zhou Weikun some pointers, "As long as it is well integrated with the actual situation of the mainland market It is not difficult for Zheru Xiangjiang Company to make a lot of money."

……

The software research and development direction here in Shanghai is computer graphics, including computer-aided design, computer animation and other fields. The results of their work are much more vivid and interesting than the numbers and charts in Yangcheng.

Tang Huan specially formed a team to cooperate with Shanghai_Shanghai Animation Film Studio for animation.

Zhu Zhixiang's "Black Cat Sheriff" has already fallen into his hands, and Dai Tielang is currently leading the production.

There is no shortage of shining works of art in China, but in the original time and space, due to the imperfect laws, unclear copyright, and even the influence of ideological factors, a series of works such as "Black Cat Sheriff" lost the opportunity to develop in an all-round way. It really makes people sigh.

According to Tang Huan's instructions, Zhuang Xingtai and Zhu Zhixiang talked about "Black Cat Sheriff" in a very formal way. In terms of copyright income, authorship rights, etc., they were built according to the benchmark, and there was no need to fight Dai Tielang in the future.

Tang Huan didn't come in vain this time, seeing the finished product for nearly 20 minutes, which is basically equivalent to an episode of cartoons.

In fact, due to the addition of the high-tech tool Fangyuan Graphics Workstation, the production staff who need to master new skills have been dragged down on the work progress.

But this working method still persists, not only because Tang Huan himself is not in a hurry, but also because everyone understands that if "Black Cat Sheriff" only produces a few episodes, it does not matter whether there is a Fangyuan graphics workstation, but if it is like If Japanese cartoons are on par, advanced working methods must be adopted.

After appreciating it, Tang Huan enthusiastically encouraged him: "Mr. Dai, you must maintain this level of production. Teachers, you should also insist on creating the work "Black Cat Sheriff", perhaps in China, because of ideological There will be some resistance due to differences in the field, but we still have Xiangjiang, the United States and other places where we can export, and your masterpiece can go to the world."

When Zhu Zhixiang saw that his work was not only adapted into a cartoon, but also used the high-end technology of computer animation, which was the first of its kind in China, he was naturally extremely excited and nodded in agreement.

After drinking Jianlibao and watching "Black Cat Sheriff", Tang Huan was really in a trance. These combinations are really amazing.
