Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 616 The Celebrity Effect of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger

……

In fact, Steve Lubow and Ian Schrager, who hold the title of consultant on the 54 Club, also opened another venue called Paladin on 14th Street in Manhattan, New York City, but the style It is not as crazy as the 54 Club on the Internet. It is a sacred place for the performance of the popular new wave music. Many rock bands, including heavy metal music, have successfully demonstrated their artistic charm to people.

In addition to the nightclub business, Steve Lubow and Ian Schrager, a pair of business partners, also led the development of boutique hotels. The Morgans Hotel next to Madison Avenue in Manhattan, New York City, is their pride made.It is different from the stereotyped guest room layout of ordinary hotels. Through different themes such as fashion and exotic customs, it provides a high-end check-in experience in a unique style. Its success has attracted the attention of multinational hotel chain groups.

However, after the business strategy of this boutique hotel was introduced to Asia, it changed a bit.In order to avoid the increasingly strict supervision of domestic laws, the Japanese counterparts squeezed love hotels into the team of such boutique hotels in the form of theme hotels, and then Baodao and Xiangjiang followed suit.

In any case, the boutique hotels in the United States belong to the veritable high-end route, and the demand for a modern hotel management system is rigid. Fangyuan Computer and Zheru Software, which provide the best computer application solutions in the industry, benefit from it Not shallow.

From the perspective of the ability to discover, create and lead business opportunities, Tang Huan admired the vision of Steve Luber and Ian Schrager very much, and humbly asked them for advice on his commercial-level skills. How the digital random retrieval karaoke system DKaraoke-1 operates in American nightclubs.

Unlike Yamaha's electronic musical instruments, which can simply rely on advanced technology and functions to seize the market, due to the music copyright involved, the marketing of karaoke systems has always been constrained.

On the side of Xiangjiang, where he is testing the waters, Tang Huan can basically cover the sky with one hand; but on the American side, even with the help of Hollywood, Warner Records, Polygram and other forces, he has no intention of forcing it.

The twisted melon is not sweet. After all, the specific work needs to be done by the subordinates, so it is best to voluntarily reach an agreement in thought, so that the enthusiasm for work can be exerted.

Furthermore, Tang Huan's motivation for participating is the sense of accomplishment of using his own IT technology to innovate the era, and more cooperation is needed here.It is also based on this consideration that we continue to follow the star route and use the appeal of the 54 Club to develop the market.

Steve Lubo pointed to the core of the problem and expressed his opinion: "In a nightclub, the most important thing is to be fun and attractive. DKaraoke-1 meets this requirement. The only shortcoming is that the music library is a bit outdated. We Need the latest pop."

Tang Huan rubbed his nose, and said to himself: Going around, we are back to the music copyright tightly held by the traditional recording industry.It seems that we can only start from the subtleties and use a few popular songs to advance.

At this time, the DJ's passionate words of encouragement and people's hysterical cheers came from outside, and the heat wave spread instantly regardless of any obstacles.

"Happy time is up." The owner, Mark Fleischman, said with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation, letting Tang Huan onto the suspended inner balcony.

Looking down from the top, one can see crowds of people moving around in the grotesque, with crazily writhing bodies everywhere.

"This feeling of looking down on all living beings is amazing." Tang Huan commented with emotion.

Mark Fleischman laughed loudly, and said deeply: "Don's right, that's why I took over this venue at a price close to 500 million US dollars."

"It's worth it." Tang Huan nodded slightly, raised his finger and said in the following specific directions: "Leaving aside the economic benefits, the social value brought by the celebrity effect is too huge to be evaluated. Just the stars who appear here, we You can recognize a lot.”

"Now that you've arrived at Club 54, let's experience the atmosphere here personally. You know, this exciting music is played by Yamaha's electronic instruments." Ian Schrager graciously suggested .

Tang Huan nodded kindly, but saw that Steve Lubo hadn't moved, so he asked casually, "Isn't Steve together?"

"Go and have fun, I'll be fine watching it from above." Steve Lubo, who was not in high spirits, waved his hands and sat down on a chair on the balcony.

Tang Huan immediately guessed the reason for the other party's depression. Some secrets could not escape his eyes and ears. For example, this guy may have played too crazy before, and won the bid, contracted HIV, and developed into AIDS.

This terminal disease is spreading very fast around the world. Take Xiangjiang in Asia as an example. On February 2 this year, the Department of Medical and Health announced the first AIDS case, and within half a month, the patient died. up.

The Shennong Foundation's HIV laboratory is the world's leading research achievement in this field. It not only identified the HIV transmission route first, but also introduced effective detection methods, but it is still in the exploratory stage in terms of therapeutic drugs.

It is not difficult to imagine that the 42-year-old Steve Lubow may not be able to last for a few years, and he will say goodbye to this colorful world.

What is intriguing is that the sensuality of the 54 club created by Steve Lubow at this time is in sharp contrast to his unavoidable loneliness.

Tang Huan glanced at Ian Schrager who was leading the way ahead, and thought to himself: The long-term collaborator seems to be implemented on this person.

……

Tang Huan picked up the wine glass and just took a sip when a clear and crisp child's voice came from beside him, "Tang, do you remember me?"

Looking at the reputation, Tang Huan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Drew Barrymore, the hottest child actor in Hollywood, how can I not know him?"

The ten-year-old girl painted like a ghost in front of her is none other than Drew Barrymore, a young member of the Barrymore family who starred in "ET" and quickly became famous. It's just that the other person appeared at a young age. At Club 54, Tang Huan was quite surprised. A thought flashed through his mind, "It's over. It looks like this kid is going to be disabled!"

"It is my honor to be known by Tang." Drew Barrymore imitated the tone of an adult and said: "Then I will provide you, the big man tonight, with a piece of information for free. Someone is eyeing your female partner .”

Glancing in the direction of the other's finger, Tang Huan said "thank you", then got up and walked in the direction of Brooke Shields, where a handsome young man was chatting, laughing and showing great hospitality.

When he got close, Tang Huan patted the man on the shoulder from behind and said loudly, "Brother, are you sure you are sitting in the right place?"

The other party turned around and happened to meet Tang Huan face to face. After the two of them were stunned at the same time, he got up and left without saying a word.

Tang Huan, who came to his senses, stretched out his hand, grabbed his arm, and said with a playful smile, "What a coincidence, why don't you just sit down and have a drink."

This young man has a lot of background, he is John Kennedy Jr., the only son of the assassinated former US President John F. Kennedy. In terms of relationship, he can even be said to be Tang Huan's cheap brother-in-law.

When John F. Kennedy's younger brother, Robert Kennedy, a presidential candidate, was assassinated in July 1968, former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy believed the Kennedy family had been targeted.

In order to protect her children, when she was nearly 40 years old, she decided to leave the United States and married Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis on October 1968, 10, because he had enough money and power to provide protection.

For this marriage, the old ship king Aristotle Onassis even abandoned his old lover, the famous Greek opera singer Maria Callas.

It's just that this kind of marriage with intricate relationships has too many secrets that are not known to outsiders under the scenery.

Although the old shipping king Aristotle Onassis could get along well with Jacqueline Kennedy's young children, his own children Alexander and Christina were at odds with Jacqueline Kennedy, so their Basically live in New York.

When his son Alexander passed away unexpectedly in an air crash, the old ship tycoon Aristotle Onassis, who was severely hit physically and mentally, had a premonition that his days would be short, so he began to train his daughter Christina to inherit the family business.

On March 1975, 3, the old shipping king Aristotle Onassis passed away in Paris, while Jacqueline and her children were in New York at the time.

After taking charge of the Onassis family, the Queen of Ships, Christina, directly spent tens of millions of dollars on Jacqueline Kennedy, asking her to issue a statement renunciating the inheritance of the Onassis family. Walking aside, it can be regarded as breaking all entanglements.

From this point of view, the relationship between the cheap brother-in-law is not harmonious, and it is a bit forced to talk about it, and there is more of a spoof in it.

Today, Tang Huan and Christina are united, and their strength is extremely powerful; the Kennedy family still has a deep foundation.

Therefore, the best way for the two parties to get along is to keep the water in the water, and John Kennedy Jr. got up and left without saying a word.

However, Tang Huan did not intend to let the other party go.Although he came to the 54 club, he was not interested in swinging left and right with the deafening disco music. He might as well find an interesting person to chat with and pass the time.

Although John F. Kennedy Jr. came from a prominent background, he couldn't compare to the powerful aura exuded by Tang Huan, who had at least hundreds of thousands of employees working for him, and he was pushed back on the sofa abruptly.

"Are we that familiar?" John Kennedy Jr. muttered gloomily.

"Anyway, we know each other well, right?" Tang Huan smiled lightly, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued, "For example. I heard that the Democratic Party Congress held in San Francisco last year **, you also participated, are you preparing to enter the political arena?"

"It's just a routine." John Kennedy Jr. shrugged, "I'm just an ordinary employee with an annual salary of $20000."

"Cheat ghosts! How could it be that simple? The Kennedy family has a lot of projects for you to operate." After a few words of slander, Tang Huan asked seemingly unintentionally: "You seem to be very interested in acting, maybe, I It can provide you with some convenience."

"Thank you! But there is no need for that. I have given up this hobby." John F. Kennedy Jr., who had no choice but to submit under the firm opposition of his mother Jacqueline Kennedy, felt the oppression transmitted from Tang Huan's aura. I felt very uncomfortable, so I stopped trying to make excuses and said to Brooke Shields, "Let's date another day", then got up and left, looking a little embarrassed.

Tang Huan watched the other party disappear into the crowd without moving his buttocks, and he deeply felt the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon of Club 54 in his heart.He turned his head thoughtfully and asked Brooke Shields, "Have you known each other for a long time?"

"I am at Princeton University and he is at Brown University. They are both Ivy League schools. We met easily during the fellowship." Brooke Shields nodded, "Just now, John F. Kennedy Jr. mentioned all the places he visited in India. I saw everything and even met Mother Teresa.”

Mother Teresa was dubbed the "Angel of Calcutta" for her many charitable services to the poor in Calcutta, India, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

It can be said that Mother Teresa has become an idol of Catholicism. Many elites in the United States, including politicians, deliberately choose to visit this nun in order to add a glorious life experience to themselves.

John Kennedy Jr. showed off his qualifications to pick up girls, which can be said to be full of coercion.

……

The 54 Club, which can attract countless stars, is naturally the most frequent place for entertainment reporters.

Tang Huan helped Brooke Shields, who was drunk, out of this lavish nightclub, and they took a bus back to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The scene was quietly recorded by some thoughtful paparazzi. down.

When they got further photos to confirm that Brooke Shields did not leave until the next day, they were so excited that they almost went crazy, and quickly launched elaborate gossip news, with the title extremely exaggerated——"Boji Shields ·Xiaosi's chastity insurance has failed".

It turned out that Brooke Shields' shrewd mother was a wonderful woman. When her daughter was in college, she insured her with a so-called chastity insurance.It doesn't matter what the starting point is, but it does draw the eye further.

Today, Brooke Shields lives with Tang Huan in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, and every woman understands that it's a goat's mouth, and every man understands that it's delicious right in front of her eyes.

Therefore, the entertainment media made a bold guess that Brooke Shields' chastity insurance failed.
