Rebirth of the Tech Madman

No matter how and when Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai make a decision, Tang Huan can handle it with ease, because he has enough cards.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the car drove towards Xie Ning's residence.

I have to say that it is too easy for Tang Huan, who is now a big landlord in Xiangjiang, to send a house abroad.

But Xie Ning, who was only twenty years old this year, was only willing to live in this high-end apartment, but he refused to accept the property.

Regarding this kind of reserve, Tang Huan just smiled slightly, and did not force it. Anyway, he is not a ruthless person.

As soon as the door was opened, a scent of zongzi wafted out.

Tang Huan, who was in a good mood, sniffed it a few times, and praised: A Ning is really ingenious, and he even knows how to make rice dumplings by himself.

Maybe I have a bit of talent for cooking. Xie Ning let Tang Huan in with a shy smile, Want to taste it?

Of course. Didn't you see that I didn't go anywhere after socializing with people from the company. Did I come here specially to taste your craftsmanship?

Xie Ning happily offered Tang Huansheng steaming rice dumplings, This is ham, don't say it's not delicious.

I want to say it's not delicious, but I have no chance. Tang Huan said vaguely.

Xie Ning, who was praised so much that his eyes turned into crescents, continued to offer treasures and brought a plate of dim sum, Then try this again.

Butterfly Crisp. Tang Huan, whose eyes lit up, quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, Crispy and crispy, delicious, delicious.

After putting away some side dishes, Xie Ning sat across from him, resting his chin on one hand, and said with a smile, Then eat slowly, it's all yours.

After a hearty meal, Tang Huan, who was drinking water, was thoughtful, It's a pity that you don't open a shop and become a master chef with your craftsmanship.

I'm just a hobby, I can't reach the level of opening a shop. Xie Ning shook his head embarrassingly.

Don't try it. How do you know that your ability is not enough? Tang Huan looked into Xie Ning's eyes and encouraged him: My foundation in Xiangjiang has a project to help young people start their own businesses. Go apply and start a business. A cookie shop. Go the special route and maybe it will be a big success. I've got the name for you, it's called Cookie Duo.

Cookie duet! Xie Ning had an eager look on his face,

Then what about my job at DreamWorks? I can't bear to part with the makeup I just learned a little bit.

Little idiot, the cookie duet is just your side job. According to the recipe, you just need to direct others to do it. Besides, you can ask your family to help. Tang Huan pointed patiently and carefully.

Xie Ning listened carefully. While chanting a few words about the name of the store Cookie Duo from time to time, Tang Huan's eyes couldn't help becoming more gentle.

...

The next day, after eating breakfast, Tang Huan told Xie Ning, I'm going to Europe and America soon, take care of yourself, don't get tired of starting a business, and don't make me regret the idea of ​​a cookie duet.

Got it. Xie Ning agreed crisply while helping Tang Huan put on his leather shoes.

It is really rare for such a young girl to live at home like this. Tang Huan came after a farewell ceremony lovingly. Only then did I go out and get in the car.

Picking up today's newspaper, Tang Huan habitually glanced at the financial news first, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

turn out to be. The Hong Kong government announced that it will amend the company takeover and merger regulations.

One of the contents is to reduce the definition of controlling interest in listed companies from the previous 51% shareholding ratio to 35% shareholding ratio.

Major shareholders with 35% of the shares can increase their holdings to 45% within one year. If this number is exceeded, a full acquisition will be proposed.

Once a non-major shareholder absorbs 35% of a company's shares, it will publicly propose an acquisition.

obvious. After the definition of controlling right is revised accordingly, the difficulty for external forces coveting the control of a company will increase virtually.

After throwing away Jardine and Landmark by surprise, the British are also quick to make up for it. Tang Huan sneered, thinking that it is not surprising that this move was not to prevent himself from continuing to annex British companies. It's just that I can't wait so much, I really don't care about my identity.

Tang Huan dismissed this, but there was one thing he was very concerned about. It was intriguing that he hadn't received any news about such a plan in advance.

You know, Jardine Taipan has been an unofficial member of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Government for a long time. Could it be said that Newbikin had signs of being excluded from the circle by the British?

There is quite a lot of news today, and Tang Huan has seen some developments in the left-wing camp in the Xiangjiang film industry.

After 1949, many film workers from Shanghai immigrated to Xiangjiang, and successively established the Great Wall Production Company, which featured social realistic Mandarin films, and Phoenix Film Company, which featured comedic Mandarin films and opera films. , Xinlian Film Company, which specializes in shooting Cantonese films.

In 1981, in order to shoot Shaolin Temple, Zhongyuan Film Production Company was established.

Due to the success of Shaolin Temple and the changes in the Hong Kong film industry, these companies will join forces to form Yindu Organization Limited. In terms of theaters, changes will also follow.

At this stage, Xiangjiang has four major Chinese cinema lines: Shaw Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, and Golden Princess Cinemas, which were previously Lisheng Cinemas and Shuangnan Cinemas.

Among them, the Shuangnan Cinema Line mainly screens films from The Great Wall, Phoenix, Xinlian, and Zhongyuan, and also acts as an agent for films from mainland China and the Soviet Union.

Now, this Shuangnan Cinemas will be renamed as Yindu Cinemas.

Tang Huan clicked his lips, thinking that even the left-wing film camp, which is not very sensitive to commercial interests, has begun to concentrate resources. It is more reasonable for him, a businessman, to plan to monopolize Xiangjiang Cinemas. This is the general trend of industry development. what.

Looking at the word Yindu, Tang Huan couldn't help but smiled knowingly. This company is not simple. The films it produces can be directly released in the Chinese mainland market, and the filming can be started directly without the approval of the script by the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television. In the film, a state-owned enterprise has done its best.

Du Qifeng and Zhong Chuhong's first entry into the film industry - Clear Water and Cold Mountains Kill Gold, as well as the hit The Great Master in the original time and space, are all produced by Yindu.

Overall, its output is not high. Perhaps, this point can be written about.

Tang Huan thought about it. While flipping through the newspaper, he found that the entertainment news of Ming Pao had a relatively complete report on Deng Lijun's concert yesterday, and even brought him as a fan of tickets. He was greatly appreciated for his great talent.

Seeing the place, Tang Huan felt very interesting. With a faint smile, he put down the newspaper casually, opened the car door, and walked into the office. The documents were already placed on the desk.

Tang Huan didn't rush to deal with it, but came to the drawing board and carefully looked at the schematic diagram of the structure of the Xiangjiang industry under his name drawn on it.

these companies. Roughly divided into two areas - industry and entertainment.

The industrial field mainly includes Zheru Xiangjiang Company, which was first established, and the even larger Qinhe Group, which was just acquired from the British.

Qinhe Strategy in the Qinhe Department, in addition to cross-holding with Qinhe Holdings to form a new chain ship structure to ensure the control of the entire group, is also responsible for strategic investment related matters.

It can be said that as an investment company, Qinhe's strategy is on the bright side, while Tang Huan previously carried out actions such as sniping Wharf, speculating on Carrian stock, and acquiring Jardine and Landmark. On the other hand, he deliberately kept a low profile without showing any signs of publicity.

The real estate company, a big landlord, is actually privatizing its original listing status at the same time. Give it up to Qinhe Holdings.

The four companies separated from the real estate company - Xiangjiang Telephone belongs to the communication industry, Xiangjiang Electric Lighting belongs to the energy industry, Mandarin Hotel belongs to the hotel investment and management industry, and Milk Company belongs to the retail industry.

As for Jardine, the fields involved are even more complicated, and even the business area includes South Africa and other places in addition to the Asia-Pacific region.

However, Qinhe Technology and Qinhe Infrastructure, which were spun off from Jardine, did not have a substantial impact on Jardine. Its purpose is only to meet Tang Huan's needs for investing in industries in mainland China.

In the field of entertainment, there are mainly two parts. Namely Media Asia Television and DreamWorks.

After Media Asia TV transferred its artist resources to DreamWorks and jumped out of the circle of blindly competing with TVB for ratings, it followed the positioning given by Tang Huan. It is actively developing into a professional international media organization.

It has to be said that Media Asia TV is a money-burning guy. Tang Huan, a technology madman, invested tens of millions of dollars just to update various equipment, and he simply gave away the items that were eliminated. The Nanyue Provincial TV Station has won a big favor.

If it weren't for the restriction of audience groups and regions, Tang Huan would have planned to make Media Asia TV a star.

However, with the inevitable arrival of immigrants from Xiangjiang and Tang Huan's upcoming industrial layout, it won't be too far to be a star on Media Asia TV.

It is precisely because of these large sums of investment that Media Asia TV has been losing money on the books, but the money comes from Tang Huan, the absolute major shareholder, and he doesn't care, and others will naturally not speak up.

Of course, if so much money is spent, there will definitely be repercussions. For example, Media Asia TV frequently attends meetings of international industry organizations such as the Asian Broadcasting and Television Federation, and has become the most representative media organization in Xiangjiang.

Auxiliary benefits like these are not something a TVB operator like Run Run Shaw who only cares about commercial interests can see through and be willing to play.

Compared with Media Asia TV's specialized media goals, Dreamworks, as a comprehensive provider of Chinese-language entertainment content, is expanding rapidly. Its business scope includes movies, records, TV dramas, variety shows, comics, literature, electronic games and other fields.

In addition to DreamWorks Cinemas, its subsidiaries also include DreamWorks Publishing Company, DreamWorks Art Special Effects Company, etc.

Among the film satellite companies of DreamWorks, Chen Xunqi's Yongjia Film Co., Ltd. is the most successful, and already has a work with a box office of over 10 million - Beware of Little Hands.

Although the satellite company of Wang Jing, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng did not achieve such brilliant results, the commercial benefits of The Legend of the Sparrow Heroes and Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing are also considerable.

After finishing the second part of Fang Shiyu, Wang Jing's Hua_Xin Da Shao and Xu Ke's The Legend of Shushan Swordsman will also be put on the agenda. DreamWorks and Yongjia Films also intend to invite The popular Alan Tam filmed a new film Xiao Sheng Afraid.

In addition, Huamei Entertainment, a distribution company aiming to deal with mainland China, Xiangjiang, Taiwan, and Hollywood, although not very well-known, has done a very solid job.

After the establishment of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, it will be like the Film Biweekly and the Hong Kong Film Awards. Although there is no obvious transfer of commercial interests, it will play a subtly auxiliary role.

Tang Huan's fingers slowly slid across the company names on the drawing board one by one, corresponding to the names of the people in his heart and the industrial layout one by one.

At this time, Zhou Mi walked over, looked at the Jardine department above, and said slowly: We snatched such a big fat piece of meat and ate it in our mouths. Maybe the British Far East commercial interest group is thinking about it. I hate it. When you go to England this time, you have to be prepared for something bad.

In my opinion, although the British Far East commercial interest group can dominate Xiangjiang, but in the UK, it is no different from ordinary interest groups, or even worse. Tang Huan snorted disdainfully.

Have you thought about which companies in the Qinhe Department are listed? Seeing that Tang Huan didn't care about the trip to the UK, Zhou Mi asked casually.

In addition to Qinhe Strategy, companies such as Milk Company and Mandarin Hotel can all go public. Tang Huan replied slowly: However, the Hong Kong stock market is so bad now, it seems that we will have to wait until the future of Xiangjiang is completely settled. Only then can it be carried out.”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan pondered for a while, If funds are really tight, it might be possible to go to Singapore, Australia, or even the United Kingdom for listing and financing.

What about Media Asia TV and DreamWorks? Zhou Mi's eyes fell on the entertainment industry, which was obviously smaller in scale.

Don't think about them for the time being. The commercial value of Media Asia TV and DreamWorks is not attractive enough now. Tang Huan shook his head, and said solemnly to Zhou Mi: The Qinhe department will be handed over to you. Something is tied to freedom.

No problem. Zhou Mi laughed, I'm getting used to being a local rich man in Xiangjiang.

Let's go, before we leave for the UK, we will hold another meeting to remind everyone and sound the alarm. Tang Huan picked up the documents and walked to the conference room. Niu Bijian, Bao Fuda, Ma Shimin, Huo Jianning and other cronies, It's all here. (to be continued)
