Chapter 0637 Wisdom Miss Hong Kong and the emcee of ceremonies
Tang Huan didn't mind watching the excitement and thought that if dozens of refrigerators were smashed, they would be smashed, which would make people remember the importance of quality better than anything else.What is lacking in China's manufacturing industry at this stage is such an understanding.

So he didn't care what Zhou Zhong thought, and continued to talk about his feelings, "This factory director is a bit interesting."

"He swung the hammer like that, and it was deafening. It was extremely enjoyable, but the unnecessary economic losses caused are also there." Zhou Zhong sighed, "The cost of each Qindao brand refrigerator is roughly equivalent to that of a worker. The two-year salary, while the factory sold 350 million yuan last year, lost 1000 million yuan, and caused a famine of more than 100 million yuan."

It can be seen that although Zhou Zhong has not been in office for a long time, he has really put in a lot of effort in research, otherwise, it would be impossible to present these detailed data at his fingertips.

"The selection of the factory manager was not decided by you, and now you dislike his lack of stability?" Tang Huan couldn't help laughing.

"That happened last year, and I haven't come here yet. At that time, the factory's monthly output fell to a minimum of 80 units, and there was no cure. That's why 35-year-old Zhang Ruimin became the factory manager by chance." Zhou Zhongyao Shaking his head, he explained carefully, "Qindao Refrigerator Factory is just a small microcosm. The overall industrial situation in Daocheng is not optimistic. The solution is to introduce new technology from outside."

Tang Huan said unhurriedly: "I still have the same attitude. Of course, there is no problem with brand new projects, but I can't afford to mix with these old companies with a long history. There are too many conflicts, and it is impossible to solve them. Unless something happens Leaders like Zhang Ruimin, whose awareness and execution ability are impressive, may break the game, so they are worth considering."

Zhou Zhong was well versed in how to squeeze toothpaste, so he was not in a hurry to persuade Tang Huan, but followed his words and asked: "Since you admire Zhang Ruimin so much, then you must also be interested in this Qindao Refrigerator Factory gone?"

"You've said it all. It's hard to come here. Of course, we have to do something serious." Tang Huan smiled slightly, and then added: "However, we have to find out the bottom line and see how bad the foundation is."

The two were chatting when Zhang Ruimin rushed over sweating profusely.

He, who was pointing the country at the meeting just now, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in the face of Zhou Zhong, and tried to explain: "Did you see that scene just now? I also have difficulties, and I have to do this."

Zhou Zhong waved his hand noncommittally, and stopped the other party's topic, "I will introduce you to a big man, Mr. Tang Huan, the richest man in the United States."

"I have long admired your name." Zhang Ruimin, whose head was a little unable to turn around, quickly shook hands with Tang Huan.

"It was a good smash just now." After Tang Huan said with a smile, he asked casually, "I heard that Qindao Refrigerator Factory is introducing new technology?"

"We are negotiating with Liebherr in Europe, and the other party is willing to transfer their refrigerator technology and operate a joint venture together." Zhang Ruimin gave a succinct introduction.

Liebherr is a family business founded in 1949 in Kirchdorf an der Iller, a city in southern Germany. It started with the production of large-scale construction cranes and is well-known in this field. Later, it expanded its product line to manufacture loaders, excavators Earthen machinery, household refrigerators, and even aircraft engines.

In Tang Huan's impression, Japanese home appliances are currently the strongest, and home refrigerators are just one of Liebherr's many businesses. Even if the technology is excellent, it is very limited. However, for Qindao Refrigerator Factory, it should be Also enough.

Sometimes the most important thing about this kind of collaboration is the right fit.Japan's home appliances are killing all over the world and earning a lot of money. Naturally, there is no need to cooperate with the little-known Qindao Refrigerator Factory in technology transfer.

After learning more about the situation, Tang Huan said to Zhou Zhong: "Although the Qindao Refrigerator Factory is currently suffering from serious losses, the leadership team has a good sense. As long as it is supported, it will not be a problem to get out of the predicament. Moreover, it is a collective enterprise. It is also relatively easy to negotiate and coordinate.”

Zhang Ruimin finally understood, and dared to feel that this small factory with serious losses was favored by the super boss and was willing to invest in cooperation.He quickly turned his gaze to Zhou Zhong, hoping to get confirmation from the leader.

"You have really caught the eyes of the God of Wealth." Zhou Zhong confirmed with a smile, and then turned to Tang Huan, "Since you are willing to make a move, can you find a better technical partner?"

Tang Huan pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that RCA in the United States was about to end. The strength of its home appliance department was obvious to all. At this juncture of selling their bodies, technical cooperation should not be resisted.

"Yes, there is, but I'm afraid the meat is too fat for you to digest." Tang Huan looked Zhang Ruimin up and down, "Have you heard of RCA in the United States?"

Zhang Ruimin was not sure about Tang Huan's temper, so he didn't dare speak rashly, and turned his gaze to his own leader again.

Zhou Zhong sucked in a breath of cold air, "If you really don't make a move, it will be earth-shattering."

"This matter, I have to take my time. I will see how the leadership team performs before I can increase my bet." After Tang Huan said something playful, he suggested: "Zhiru Xiangjiang and Qinhe are organizing business inspections Tuan, why don't you go out together, see Japan nearby, the United States and Europe far away, and compare them in your heart. If possible, I still hope to build a white goods production base in Daocheng. After all, in the not-too-distant future, home appliances will definitely join hands with IT technology.”

The business study tour Tang Huan mentioned can also be regarded as a public relations activity run by him. The main purpose is to give everyone the opportunity to go abroad and broaden their horizons.

"Then you have to give me a few more indicators." Zhou Zhong counted with his fingers.

"No problem." Tang Huan agreed generously, and turned his gaze to Zhang Ruimin, "Don't let Factory Manager Zhang fall behind. When doing business, you should shop around and grasp the tone and direction, so you can avoid detours."

……

Zhou Zhong used a city as his canvas, while Tang Huan planned to use the more plain Funan as his canvas.Between the two, there is always something to learn from.Based on this consideration, Tang Huan enjoyed his stay in Daocheng.

At the end of May, when Tang Huan left, the two reached a lot of consensus. At the same time, the itinerary of the business delegation was finalized. Zhou Mi, Zhang Ruimin and others just caught up with the European stop.

"Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell. Maybe we can still meet in Europe." Tang Huan and Zhou Zhong shook hands and bid farewell, got on the plane, made a tour of Asia, and returned to Xiangjiang.

With an interval of more than a month, many things naturally happened in this famous and prosperous place.For example, the sudden suicide of Weng Meiling shocked the whole of Hong Kong.The media, who seized the opportunity, immediately followed up and reported without limit, and pointed the finger at Tang Zhenye. Since then, he has been burdened with great infamy and pressure, and his stardom is bleak.

In the prosperous Xiangjiang entertainment industry, female artists always have to bear the greatest pressure. It seems that such tragedies have happened frequently since the suicide of movie star Lin Dai in the 1960s.

Hong Kong people have seen a lot, and after a period of heated discussions, they quickly shifted their focus to other aspects.

There is never a shortage of hot spots here, such as the upcoming Miss Hong Kong finals.

Tang Huan, who was about to attend this event, heard Yu Zheng and others from DreamWorks introduce the situation, and couldn't help laughing: "How do I feel, you guys are a bit aggressive, and your snatching moves are really neat."

The subordinates who heard the compliment also laughed complacently.

No matter how it is whitewashed, the Miss Chinese Cosmos Contest jointly organized by Media Asia TV and DreamWorks is essentially a contest with TVB's Miss Hong Kong.

That's not to mention, DreamWorks, which has been frustrated repeatedly, still continues to stare at the potential contestants in the Miss Xiangjiang campaign, and this year is no exception, signing Zhou Haimei, the No. 20 candidate who did not make it to the final.

This is also related to the gradual decline of TVB artist training classes. The training systems of DreamWorks and Media Asia TV are connected to the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, which has better opportunities for further studies, especially officially recognized academic certificates.

Under such competition, the attractiveness of TVB's artist training class has declined sharply. Students such as Liu Qingyun in the original time and space have now gone to DreamWorks.

Therefore, the TVB artist training class, which was unable to resist, had to carry out some changes, or it would be more accurate to describe it as contraction.

Originally, the TVB artist training class was full-time, with a semester of one year and divided into two parts.

In the first half of the year, trainees learn a lot of front-screen knowledge and behind-the-scenes theories, including performance, lines, dance, martial arts, screenwriting theory, introduction to photography, TV engineering, body simulation, makeup, clothing, and hairstyle; After multiple exams, only those who can successfully graduate will become TVB artistes.

In 1983, the TVB artist training class was restructured into pure artist recruitment, which was divided into three categories: actor recruitment, dancer recruitment, and master of ceremonies recruitment. The semester was also shortened from one year to half a year.

Students learn basic knowledge in the first 3 months, practice in the last 3 months, and pass multiple exams in the middle. Those who can successfully graduate will become TVB artistes.

It is obvious that the TVB artist training class has become a very utilitarian assembly line.

TVB once tried to use this training opportunity to compete with Zhou Haimei, but it was obviously not attractive enough, so they had to amicably give up the contract to DreamWorks.

Tang Huan, who built this system single-handedly, felt that his influence in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle was a bit ubiquitous after hearing the story.

Of course, this was just for fun, and he didn't care too much after listening to it.

Xie Ning went to run for Miss Xiangjiang, and Tang Huan was too lazy to bother himself without a professional image manager. After tidying up a bit, he took a Rolls-Royce with license plate No. [-] to the Lee Theater in Causeway Bay, where he attended Held Miss Hong Kong contest finals.

Every year at this time, celebrities from all walks of life gather in Xiangjiang, and ladies and ladies compete for beauty, and this time it is even more lively.

Tang Huan sat down in his seat after exchanging pleasantries with all kinds of people, and smiled at Fang Yihua next to him, "Ms. Fang really didn't coax me, this Miss Hong Kong really has a lot of momentum."

"How dare I coax Tang Sheng." Fang Yihua's face flashed with pride, "It's a pity that Tang Sheng is too busy, otherwise, the emcee lineup can be made more luxurious, and He Sheng will complement each other."

"Ms. Fang flattered me, I can't handle this situation." Tang Huan waved his hands modestly.

"I have seen Tang Sheng's speech style before, and his image in the movie "Flower Protection" is even more perfect, he is qualified for the post of emcee, why don't we make an appointment for the next time." Fang Yihua revealed her ultimate goal , For the rare Tang Huan raised his hand to beg for mercy.

After making this joke, a notice came out on the radio that "The 1985 Miss Xiangjiang Contest Now Begins". On the stage, a staff member pushed a collection box, and all the beauties began to appear on the stage. The one who walked in the front was Song Aiyi, No. 30 and No. 28 Shane Ning.

Fang Yihua introduced in a low voice: "The theme of this year's Miss Xiangjiang election is 28 Wisdom. On the [-]th, Xie Ninghui is very talented and versatile. She has extremely high attainments in piano, makeup, cooking, etc. When meeting with the judges, she was widely praised. , especially Ms. Xia Meng, is even more appreciative."

When TVB hosts the Miss Xiangjiang contest, it is natural to consider serving its own interests. Therefore, it is impossible to completely follow the popular candidates created by the media to determine the title of the champion. Instead, there are additional judging criteria hidden behind it. The most mysterious and unpredictable It is a conduct score.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it’s also very easy to understand. Miss Xiangjiang’s campaign is a big platform for star-making. Those “stabs” who don’t listen to discipline, no matter how talented and beautiful you are, TVB can’t waste resources to promote it. The moral score is suppressed One of the means.

During the pre-competition meeting with the judges, there will be a dedicated person to introduce the conduct scores of the beauties to each judge, and zero scores are not uncommon.

Xie Ning was favored by Xia Meng, one of the judges, so his chances of winning were greatly increased, which was much more reliable than the hype created by the media for No. 9 Wang Ailun.

From Tang Huan's point of view, Xie Ning's advantage is obvious even if his invisible influence is excluded.

From the perspective of beauty pageants alone, the beauties who can enter the final stage must have the same appearance. At this time, the temperament is often the most contagious.

Take the Miss Xiangjiang final in 1979 as an example. At that time, No. 18 Zheng Wenya and No. 19 Zhong Chuhong appeared in sequence. The former's queen style was obviously more able to conquer the audience.

After several years of experience, Xie Ning worked as an amateur model in front of the stage, and made up behind the scenes. In addition to the cookie shop business, it can be said that he has an outstanding temperament. He is very recognizable among the beauties on stage.

Even, assuming that the backstage staff such as make-up have no chance to play tricks, Xie Ning himself has the ability to package his own image.

But no matter what, Tang Huan was very appreciative of Fang Yihua's overture, and immediately responded with a knowing smile.

After He Shouxin appeared on the stage, he began to introduce the super luxurious emcee lineup that people talked about one by one.

The first is Yang Qun, who belongs to one of the veterans of the Shaw Brothers. He won the Best Actor at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards in 1969 and 1973, and he played impressive roles. Ximenqing in "Shuangyan" is the closest one to Zhuo Yifu in "Northern Thousand Hands" in the TV series "The King of Thousand Kings" directed by Wang Jing produced by DreamWorks in 1974.

Followed by Chu Yuan, he has switched from a director to an actor in recent years, and he has had a lot of fun.

After that, there will be Zhou Runfa, the winner of the Xinke Hong Kong Film Awards, followed by Xie Xian, and He Gambling King who will appear in the finale.

This lineup is indeed extremely luxurious!
