Symmetrical to the audience gathered by celebrities, a large number of celebrities were invited to the party, including Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Luo Wen, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhen Ni, Guan Zhengjie, Lin Zixiang, Chen Baiqiang, Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan and other popular artists, even the debut of Alan Tam , Leslie Cheung, who has not yet risen, were all pulled to make up the numbers, and the host was Shen Dianxia, ​​who showed the company's wealth and power to the fullest.

In fact, the reason why Tang Huan invited all these stars, regardless of the cost, was not only to add to the fun of the performance, but also to include them in the next marketing plan by the way.

Tang Huan greeted guests from all walks of life in the audience one after another, especially in front of the three staff formations in Xiangjiang, Baodao and Singapore, where he stayed the longest.

After all, in the final analysis, this party is mainly an internal activity for him to please his subordinates, boost morale, and enhance the cohesion of the company. External socializing is just a matter of convenience. You can also call.

Soon, the party began. After Shen Dianxia gave a cheerful opening speech, she launched the first program, Tonight's programs are all wonderful. First of all, I sincerely invite everyone to enjoy the golden song. This is a real golden song. Because it was sung by a glittering billionaire, and our most handsome and versatile big boss Tang Huan was invited.

Amidst the warm applause, Tang Huan stepped onto the stage with a calm demeanor.

Lee Stage facilities are very advanced, such as this stage. Can be rotated 360 degrees. over a long period of time. These are unique functions in similar places in Xiangjiang.

I'll tell you a secret. I used my connections to get the first opportunity to perform on stage. Do you know why? Tang Huan made a fool of himself.

In this happy atmosphere of family reunion, the difference in status between upper and lower ranks naturally faded a lot, so many people laughed and shouted together, Because I am afraid of poor performance, I will lose face in the last row.

How do you know? Could it be that the sales of my records are dismal. It has become an open secret. Tang Huan asked back in surprise, Forget it, the more you talk, the greater the impact. Let's finish the task quickly, one song Farewell My Concubine is dedicated to everyone.

Tang Huan's singing skills are the same as Luo Wen's who has Cantonese opera skills. Similar to Lin Zixiang, more impactful and explosive.

Tang Huan on the stage at this moment. Eyes and movements, full of momentum, after listening to people,

He couldn't help but see blood welling up, and his scalp was numb, especially Tang Huan's subordinates, there was a kind of heroism of soldiers following the general to fight in all directions.

This contagious effect may be related to the rapid rise of Tang Huan's career and status recently. Under the triumphant spring breeze, when performing, with the help of the form of art, he unknowingly walks like a dragon and shows his arrogance.

What an overlord who looks down on the world. Huang Zhan, who was in the audience, praised him.

Since I appreciate him so much, I will focus on the company's affairs in the future. Lin Yanni gave him a blank look, probably because she was a little dissatisfied with the operation of the Huang Yulin advertising company jointly founded by the two.

At this moment, Shen Dianxia walked to the front of the stage and said to Tang Huan who was about to leave after singing: Mr. Tang, your record sales are not bad, especially recently because of someone's favor, which has increased a bit.

Is there such a thing? I really don't know, which nobleman helped me? Tang Huan asked cooperatively.

Mr. Tang is a busy person. It's normal not to know. She is Ms. Zhang Delan from DreamWorks. Shen Dianxia joked, Shouldn't you prepare a red envelope to thank the artists in your company?

Should, should, I was negligent. Tang Huan made a motion to wipe his sweat, and the petite and exquisite new generation of singer Zhang Delan had already walked over.

Men and women duet, Choice. After Shen Dianxia finished reporting, Tang Huan took Zhang Delan's hand and began to complete the last stage task.

After these two Mandarin songs, Zhang Delan sang the recently popular Cantonese song Lost Promise solo.

Every singer, if he wants to develop in the long run, must have his own masterpiece, just like Ye Liyi in the original time and space, a hit Shanghai Beach episode, let her occupy a place in the Hong Kong music scene, And the current Zhang Delan, after entering DreamWorks, also got this opportunity.

How fierce is the competition in the show business circle? Originally, tonight's performance lineup was full of stars. As a result, Tang Huan, who was originally a playboy, immediately mobilized the atmosphere. The next stars will naturally have to show their best state to deal with it. The whole show The splendor of the party can be imagined.

For example, Xu Guanjie sang the title song of his third Cantonese album Half a Catty Eight Liang. The role of the vase.

After Half Catty was released in Japan in February 1979, it became very popular and created the! Comedy movie series. Several Xu Brothers comedy films released later all used ! as the title, and this song Half Catty was also changed. Became the Japanese version.

It can be said that the best-selling album Half a Catty that year was the first peak of Xu Guanjie's singing career, and his next performance The Voice of the Prodigal Son was also well-known in the streets.

Tang Huan was nodding his head as he watched from the audience. The Xu Brothers were truly extraordinary. The movie Modern Bodyguard they are currently filming will be the first Chinese New Year movie in Hong Kong next year, with a box office of more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars. While breaking Xiangjiang's box office record again, it was crowned the annual box office champion.

This is better, his advertising effect will increase, and his university degree is more in line with the positioning of high-tech products. It is necessary to sign a long-term contract.

There was an episode in the party, Zheng Shaoqiu sang Turn Around. Wang Mingquan sang Steal Your Heart with Love. The former is the theme song of the tvb drama Where to Turn that was just cut in half. The latter is the theme song of DreamWorks' new work King of a Thousand Kings, which is trying to turn the tide. Artists don't think too much about it, and they can do whatever the organizer asks, but the high-level executives will naturally be more serious. After the order of appearance, he glanced at Hu Yinmeng next to him with an unhappy expression, while the other party admired it with great interest.

The finale was naturally Deng Lijun. A song Shanghai Beach and a song Thousands of Miles Away drew a perfect end to the party.

Looking at Deng Lijun who is in a better state than before, Fang Yihua thought deeply, Dragon Babu TV series can borrow the wind of video games, so you can also ask Deng Lijun to sing an episode of TVB's upcoming TV series, such as Incompatibility.

When the scandal between Deng Lijun and Tang Huan reached Xiangjiang in the middle of last year, it was just a small topic of conversation, but today it seems to be of great significance.

Fang Yihua glanced at Hu Yinmeng again. Girl, ginger is still old and spicy. It is a profound knowledge to borrow strength to fight strength.

When the prosperity finally came to an end, before leaving, Tang Huan looked at the couplets on both sides of the stage - Let's be good at the southeast and all countries in the clothes and crowns of the resort, and the dance will be full of the stage, and he can't help feeling suddenly sighed.

Xiangjiang, a small place, could not form a large-scale production base after all. The profit-seeking nature of free capital made most of the land use become commercial buildings in the end.

This long-established Lee Theater is of great significance to the Lee family, but in the original time and space, it still could not resist the temptation of real estate interests. It was demolished in 1991 and rebuilt into a commercial building mainly for shopping and restaurants. That is, Lee Theater Plaza.

So the current situation is that there is no other choice for the computer production base, only Baodao has complete supporting facilities and low cost, followed by Singapore, which has a smaller area, while the mainland is still starting slowly.

Fortunately, his status as a billionaire born in the United States is enough for him to ignore small-scale political risks with ease in these regions holding the thighs of the United States.

...

Compared with yesterday's lively party, today's Greater China mid-level and high-level meeting is much more solemn.

Sitting in the center was Tang Huan, with Huang Gencheng, Zhou Mi, Zhu Bangfu, Ni Guangnan and others on his left, and Jian Mingren, Shi Chongtang, Zhou Weikun, Feng Xingjun and others on his right. Hu Yinmeng, who didn't want to be a vase, was forcibly placed in a Location.

Everyone, the second-generation Fangyuan personal computer has been successfully developed, and its performance is sufficient to ensure that the life cycle of mid-to-high-end products is at least three years among the world's peers. Tang Huan made a judgment confidently.

My job requirements for everyone can be summed up in two points. The first is market share, turning the Asian market into our own back garden. At present, the three series of products, intel8086 and intel, have fully covered high, middle and low grades, and The software platform is also unified, which is an advantage that competitors such as ibm, hp, Wangan Computer, etc. have not been able to achieve for the time being, and it should not be a big problem to accomplish this goal.

Tang Huan looked around the crowd, This is a traditional requirement, but I want to say another point that is more important, that is, our hardware platform is more powerful, and it is time to vigorously promote the unified standard of Chinese character encoding. This matter is private. In other words, it is to let the company master the industry standards and remain invincible; in public terms, it is as great as papermaking and printing. The sooner Chinese characters get on the train of informatization, the inheritance and development of Chinese culture must also be A new opportunity will be ushered in sooner. With this unified standard, the industry will not need to waste resources on 10,000 yards of galloping, and just focus on how to develop new functions of Chinese computers. Everyone has no worries about food and clothing. I must be willing to participate in some elegant events that will be famous in history.

Tang Huan was so good at bewitching people's minds that his subordinates' eyes lit up.

The cornerstone of computer processing data is information coding. For processing characters, it is like first setting up a table composed of rows and columns, and then filling in each character in a specific order, so that each character can be obtained. A serial number code, and the computer can only recognize characters through this serial number code.

Around this serial number coding, three concepts of meaning association are produced, namely inner code, exchange code and outer code.

The internal code is a serial number code that exists on the computer memory. For cpu, programs and developers.

It's like a hundred schools of thought contending in the United States and all kinds of personal computers. Each manufacturer can get a set of its own unique hardware architecture. The same is true for internal codes.

It is not difficult to imagine that in the eyes of the engineers of the ibm chess project, no matter whether you are a letter or a Chinese character, it is all an abstract serial number code.

Especially limited by the capacity of the current memory, each manufacturer has more reason to design a coding scheme that they think is reasonable.

In the mature stage of technology in the original time and space, the internal code in the English system is , the commonly used internal code in the traditional Chinese system is , and the internal code in the simplified Chinese system is the national standard code. Finally, they are gradually adopted uniformly.

Because different systems may use different internal codes. Therefore, when exchanging files between each other, garbled characters will occur.

The solution is that before exchanging files, the file provider first converts the files stored in the internal code form into the exchange code form before exchanging. After the file receiver receives the file, the exchange code is converted into the internal code.

Similarly, the main users of the exchange code are cpu, programs, and developers.

The users facing the external codes are ordinary users who are not technical professionals, such as various Chinese input methods such as pinyin codes and phonetic codes.

Phonetic scripts like English have only 26 letters. It is relatively simple to handle, and the inner code, the exchange code, and the outer code are the same; but the predicative words like Chinese characters are not enough. There are thousands of commonly used characters alone. In terms of external codes, no keyboard can accommodate them. In terms of internal codes, memory capacity also needs to be considered, which objectively brings difficulties to the informatization of Chinese characters.

In addition, information coding is a test of skill, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an art.

For example, the serial number codes of Arabic numerals 0 to 9 are 48 to 57, and the corresponding hexadecimal numbers are 30 to 39. Only one simple logical operation is required to convert between serial number codes and real numbers. .

For another example, the serial number code of the English uppercase letter a is 97, and the serial number code of the lowercase letter a is 65. The subtraction difference is 32. All uppercase and lowercase letters have this gap. This is not accidental, and it only takes one simple step. The logical operation can easily convert between uppercase and lowercase.

Irregular characters in traditional Chinese also have the need to switch back and forth between upper and lower case similar to English, but the number of idiosyncratic characters is often not as simple as just two.

Obviously, in addition to skills, Chinese character information coding must also take into account the characteristics of Chinese culture itself.

In the past, Zhu Bangfu’s research focused on internal codes and external codes. For non-technical people, it was obviously too difficult. It is his strength to organize traditional characters with different shapes and design input methods.

Due to the relative standardization of simplified characters, Ni Guangnan was assigned the work of hardware and external codes, as well as font codes, that is, how to display them on monitors and printers, that is, fonts and fonts that are often called.

Its implementation is divided into two types: dot matrix and vector. The former uses a binary array of 0 and 1 to represent each pixel on the screen, which is simple and easy to use, but consumes a lot of memory space; the latter uses mathematical formulas to save memory space, but consumes cpu resources.

Therefore, the informatization of Chinese characters is a huge project, and it is not something that can be achieved by lowering the IQ of the mouth and touching the mouth.

Zheru's Chinese card and supporting software, from the launch to the present, after about a year, it has gone from relatively mature to very mature.

This is just a purely technical issue. In reality, it will also involve huge economic disputes and even subtle political games.

In Xiangjiang, a laissez-faire place, the market share achieved by the first-generation Fangyuan computer without rivals has formed a de facto industry standard, but if a strong competitor comes, it is not impossible to come back.

In Singapore, the government has approved Tang Huan's package solution, and the situation in mainland China is similar, but it needs to be packaged to become a national standard.

As for Baodao, the situation is a bit delicate. Although the first-generation Fangyuan computer has become the current industry standard, it has not been officially recognized by the government, which is intriguing.

In addition, benefiting from a developed economy, Japan has already started the work of Japanese information coding one step ahead, and it formulated the basic Chinese characters in 1978.

But so far, 63 Japanese kanji of unknown origin, so-called ghost kanji, have been found in this standard.

After the Japanese government purchased 5,000 first-generation Fangyuan computers, they paid more attention to the difference between the two standards, and Tang Huan had to deal with it himself later.

Given the special geographical position of Xiangjiang, the promotion work here has a demonstration effect that cannot be ignored. Tang Huan emphasized, One of the ideas of the plan is the star route, especially those with college degrees like Xu Guanjie and Guan Zhengjie. Entertainer. My idea is to see if we can organize a group of celebrities, each with a middle school student, to conduct a prize-winning contest on computer applications and broadcast it on TV. After all, the Chinese have always attached importance to the education of the next generation, and there should be many people who are willing to cooperate. Yes, it would be even better if it can be made into an attractive program. Of course, this requires the participation and cooperation of DreamWorks.

As the most beautiful scenery in the conference room, Hu Yinmeng ignored everyone's gazes and calmly nodded in agreement.

Focusing on the second-generation Fangyuan computer and the implementation of the unified standard of Chinese character encoding, Tang Huan held a two-day meeting in full swing. It can be regarded as reaching a high degree of consensus among the management. The entire operation team in Greater China began to work hard for the new goal. It works like a horse.

Tang Huan took time again before the Mid-Autumn Festival to visit the connections of Boss Huo, Chartered Ship King, and others.
