Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Someone in the United States tried every means to plot against Tang Huan, and the commotion in Xiangjiang was even more lively.

After entering 1982, the hot spots of public opinion in Xiangjiang were one after another. It can be described as brilliant.

The first to bear the brunt is naturally the entanglement between Tang Huan and Jardine Harmony, which has lasted for more than half a year since the end of last year.

First, Tang Huan's representative in Xiangjiang, Zhou Mi, was defeated by the entrenched Jardines, and then the billionaire retaliated in a rage, crushing the seemingly invulnerable chain ship structure, and winning Hong Kong Land, the largest real estate company in Hong Kong.

If Jardine hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and asked HSBC to help out and take away 20% of Jardine's shares from Hongkong Land in advance, this century-old British-owned foreign firm would probably have the surname Tang.

However, this capital war did not stop there, but entered the second stage. The focus of the competition fell on Jardine itself. As Zhou Mi stated, Hongkong Land and Jardine are too closely related. And, the huge resources paid before are valuable.

In addition to wrestling for capital, the offensive and defensive sides also launched an overwhelming public opinion war. The main attacker Fang Qinhe is absolutely ingenious, which opened the eyes of Xiangjiang people who just stare at the little bits and pieces in front of them all day.

The most talked about recently is that Qinhe organized a group of 100 people to take everyone to Japan and the United States for free, visit the real estate of listed companies, and even witnessed the listing of Epson on the spot.

As the video game company Taidong's listing is approaching, the second hundred-member group is also ready.

It’s just that everyone still doesn’t know that the second campaign is actually unnecessary, because when Tang Huan decided to leave for the Falkland Islands at the end of April, Qinhe had already controlled more than 20% of Jardine’s shares, plus The remaining 20% ​​in Shang Land's hands. And ten percent of the trump card, Jardine already has the surname Tang.

The reason why it was kept secret was because Tang Huan was thinking about how to end it. The emotions of the British must be appeased, and a sweet date must be given for a slap. What's more, the British shareholders of Jardine who have been entrenched in Xiangjiang for more than 100 years.

In addition, Tang Huan also wanted to see without malice. He didn't know that Yihe, who was already dead, would come up with new tricks, or some uninterested forces would jump out.

Sure enough, during Tang Huan's stay in South America, Jardine struggled as hard as he could.

First of all, from the political level, Jardine urged the Governor of Hong Kong to suppress it through the influence of London.

But when Zhou Mi was interviewed.

It clearly stated, Qinhe is like a sports car driving at full speed. If you step on the brakes at this time, you will undoubtedly hurt yourself. You can only talk about it after you reach your destination.

This metaphor is recognized by many spectators. The fact is also true, Qinhe has such obvious advantages, how could it not be possible to strive for a comprehensive victory.

MacLehose, the outgoing Governor of Hong Kong, was so busy with this matter that he suffered a stroke. Fortunately, the symptoms were not serious. So he took the opportunity to get up.

Also afraid of avoiding it is the charter king, who left Xiangjiang early to discuss business, because the British are looking for white warriors who are willing to help Jardine.

Not to mention. There were really people wading into this muddy water, and the Australian consortium eagerly joined in, including several well-known Chinese businessmen—Guo Henian and Qiu Deba from Singapore and Malaysia, and Li Bancheng from Xiangjiang.

The motivation of the White Warrior of the Chinese merchants immediately became a new hot spot in the public opinion in Xiangjiang. Some of them joked that if the charter king was also in Xiangjiang, he would basically be one of them.

But what embarrassed the British was the intervention of the White Warrior. In practice, there is not much effect, and Jardine's shares are still flowing to rivals.

This involves a subtle psychology that is common among Xiangjiang people. The future of Xiangjiang has been officially put on the table. How many people have confidence in mainland China? There is no need to discuss it anymore. The wave of immigration in the original time and space has illustrated this phenomenon. Those who stayed and did not leave had no way out. By the 1990s, the collective had become intoxicated.

Under such circumstances, Xiangjiang people urgently need a channel for wealth preservation, and the Japanese and American asset investments provided by Tang Huan cater to the needs of the public, and there are even gossips that people can use this to invest in immigration.

Jardine and Tang Huan fought for cash before and were directly defeated. Tang Huan still resorted to the ultimate move of swap shares, which actually blocked all the opponent's escape routes.

Now the White Warriors are on the stage, but the problem is that their tricks are also invariable. The most effective way to attract shareholders with large sums of cash has long been proven not to be attractive enough.

In addition, I have to mention that there has been a new change in the psychology of Xiangjiang people, which is inseparable from Media Asia TV's world news reports.

When Tang Huan went to Mashima, he brought two brave Media Asia TV war reporters, which not only allowed the world media to see Chinese in this field, but also let Xiangjiang people know in detail about the war that happened on the other side of the earth.

After all, Xiangjiang is a British colony, and it is impossible for them not to be interested in major events in the UK. The British feel that Media Asia TV is helping them to promote their national prestige, which is exactly what they need at the moment, so they are naturally happy to hear it.

As a result, under the explanation of Media Asia TV's special military commentator, the audience understood the specifics of the Falkland Islands where the war took place, and then the British Army's out of reach became more and more impressive in everyone's minds.

From this association, Jardine's assets seem to be even less valuable. Of course, the effect is very emollient and silent.

Jardine, who still doesn't know that she has been further distressed, hopes that the white warrior will take effect, and at the same time counterattacks in public opinion, directly blaming the current decadence of Xiangjiang's real estate industry and stock market on the capital war launched by Qinhe. The economic chaos caused by the economic order tried to pour dirty water on Tang Huan's head.

Naturally, Zhou Mi would not let his opponent talk so nonsense, and immediately complained about it. From the initial acquisition of Xiaoli’s TV, he was obstructed by various obstacles, to the fact that he was suppressed by Jardine in the capital market one after another recently. Mr. Tang couldn’t bear it. Below, return the color.

As for associating Xiangjiang's economic turmoil with Qinhe, that is too much for Mr. Tang. Maybe Xiangjiang has been cursed for ten years and has started a new cycle.

Received a lot of thoughtfulness from Tang Huan. I said this casually, but I didn't expect it to resonate with many Xiangjiang people, because in recent decades. This is how Hong Kong's economy goes round and round.

As a result, the Hang Seng Index dropped dozens of points that day. Surprised, the British Hong Kong government hastily issued a seal order to Jardine and Kin Wo. The quarrel between the two of you is a quarrel, but it is not allowed to involve the economic environment of Xiangjiang.

But the more suppressed it was, the more this topic became widespread, and it was even grandiosely put on Media Asia TV, which has become a signature talk show.

After continuously learning advanced experience from European, American and Japanese counterparts, Media Asia TV's own characteristics are becoming more and more obvious. Its unique attention to Hong Kong's local society and international environment is down-to-earth. Shangda Tianting has attracted a large number of audiences from the grassroots to the elite unconsciously.

And a few talk shows, whether serious or humorous, can always grab everyone's mind and make them want to stop.

The hosts and guests have also gained a lot of prestige through these programs, and their subjective initiative has naturally become stronger.

It has to be said that with the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy. As well as the uncertainty of the current situation, talk shows that can express their opinions are a form of success that emerged as the times require.

tvb sees that Media Asia TV is booming in this respect. Naturally, we can't let it be more beautiful than before, so we decided to follow the trend and copy it.

However, Fang Yihua soon found out that she was too late. The four major talents in Hong Kong—Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Huang Zhan and Cai Lam—had all been recruited by Media Asia TV.

Of course it’s okay to ask others to come, but these four well-known literati who have money in their stomachs and are good at pouring out are the top existences in the cultural field of Xiangjiang, and the reputation of other people is simply incomparable.

In addition to Fang Yihua being depressed by this incident, there is also Jin Yong's martial arts drama Dragon Babu: Six Meridian Sword elaborately produced by tvb. The ratings were not perfect.

This is not to say that the ratings are embarrassing, on the contrary. After Media Asia TV tacitly staggered the main TV series as always, the ratings of Dragon Babu: Six Meridians Excalibur were very high.

But the odd thing is. That's all, I asked the audience how they felt, and the reply I got was that it was pretty good, but there was no more.

In other words, after the high ratings, there was no follow-up sensation, and the audience did not discuss the plot and actors of the TV series after watching it.

You know, Dragon Babu: Six Meridians Excalibur has brought together a lot of well-known TVB artists, in addition to popular stars such as Huang Xingxiu, Xie Xian, Shi Xiu, Lin Jianming, and Lu Youhui, there are also plans to use this drama to become popular Tang Zhenye, Huang Rihua, Chen Yulian, Yang Panpan and others, but the audience's reaction was surprisingly cold.

After Fang Yihua listened to the discussions and summaries of his subordinates, he finally figured out what was going on. Now Xiangjiang’s topic of public opinion is Jardine and Qinhe, which are in full swing. And investment immigration, which has been rumored to be more and more mysterious, wait a minute, there are no TV dramas.

Perhaps the people at the bottom are concerned, but unfortunately, they do not occupy the mainstream of public opinion.

Fang Yihua, who suddenly realized, felt so much hatred in his heart, and secretly scolded Hu Yinmeng for being too cunning, no wonder he has been so sluggish these past few months. According to this, the selection of Miss Xiangjiang and the Rookie Singing Contest will also be postponed later.

Thinking of Fang Yihua here, she hurried to discuss with Run Run Shaw, but the other party nodded absent-mindedly.

Sixth brother, you seem to be getting less and less interested in the TV station. Fang Yihua complained.

Artists are very good, and the advertising revenue has been rising, do I need to worry about it? Run Run Shaw laughed, put down the magazine, and took off his reading glasses.

Fang Yihua glanced at the newspaper and couldn't help being surprised, I didn't expect Golden Harvest's Master Dragon to be so popular in Japan when it was suppressed so hard by New Art City's Best Partner during the Lunar New Year.

That's not the point. Run Run Shaw handed the Film Biweekly to Fang Yihua, You can read it again.

The box office of Shaolin Temple in Japan has already reached billions of yen! Fang Yihua admired enviously, then shook his head, But I think this is just a phenomenal movie, nothing more. There is no succession.”

You haven't seen the point of what I said. Run Run Shaw shook his head.

Fang Yihua's eyes continued to move on the report, and finally his eyes widened, Shaolin Temple has sold more than 10 million US dollars in the United States! Who has such great energy?

Is there any need to ask? Of course it's Boss Tang who chased and blocked Jardine until he was ashamed. One of his identities is the boss of Hollywood. Run Run Shaw sighed and said to himself: If you want to be in Hollywood To gain a foothold, you really need someone inside.

Tang Huan has brought Dreamworks and TVB's TV dramas to the Chinese channels of American TV stations. Now is it the turn of movies? Fang Yihua thought for a moment, Shaolin Temple should be the first one he brought over. Let's make a movie.

Now it seems that the cooperation between tvb, DreamWorks and Media Asia TV to a certain extent is still very cost-effective. If everyone is fighting in Xiangjiang's nest, no matter how ruthless they are, the cake will not grow bigger.

Run Run Shaw shook his head sighingly, Director Chu Yuan's movie adapted from Gu Long's novel once had a box office of 40 million Taiwan dollars in Taiwan, but one US dollar is equivalent to more than 30 Taiwan dollars, six or seven Hong Kong dollars. The gap is huge. It's too big.

But the decline of Shaw Brothers movies has become more and more obvious. Golden Harvest is so confident to enter Hollywood, but now it's time to bring Cheng Long back and honestly develop in Asia.

Fang Yihua's lips moved, but in the end she resisted to say anything. In her opinion, as Run Run Shaw got older, it was almost impossible to revive Shaw Brothers movies.

With all kinds of thoughts in his mind, Fang Yihua heard Run Run Shaw continue to say: Tang Huan took a fancy to Xiangjiang's industry, but the structure here has been established and there is no room for him to gain a foothold. This forced Jardine to be in danger. Although DreamWorks is currently developing well, it has only been established in Hong Kong for a short time, and there are some aspects that cannot be compared with us, such as the theater chain. This may not be a basis for cooperation.”

Finding that Run Run Shaw wanted to expand the scope of cooperation with DreamWorks, Fang Yihua couldn't help but be a little bit older, and muttered to himself, I don't want to face Hu Yinmeng, a sharp-mouthed girl day and night.

As powerful queens in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, Fang Yihua and Hu Yinmeng, who were just a generation behind in qualifications, were naturally conflicted.

For example, the age that women are most sensitive to and cares about most, one age is getting old, and the other is in full bloom, it is natural and inevitable to compare sparks.

Such delicate emotions could not be expressed, Fang Yihua felt more and more depressed. (to be continued)
