Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Compared with other tropical cyclones, Typhoon Wayne, which has a lifespan of up to 20 days, is too elusive. Its complicated traveling route can be roughly described as 3 circles and 1 number 8.

Sometimes, curious people may ask, can two typhoons meet? What will happen if they meet?

Typhoon Wayne gave a good and vivid answer. According to normal meteorological laws, it weakened into a tropical depression after raging, but after meeting with Typhoon Weina, it came back to life and developed into a typhoon again.

During this period, Typhoon Wayne landed on Taiwan Island twice, and the Central Meteorological Bureau of Taiwan Island issued a total of 3 sea and land typhoon warnings, and the warning list was issued every six hours, as many as 42 times.

Behind this series of predictions, corrections, and re-forecasts, there is a huge amount of calculations, and the results must be obtained in a timely manner. Otherwise, what is the point of calculating the results after the typhoon has passed?

Such high-intensity computing work is naturally inseparable from the help of modern computers. The calculation performance of the Fangyuan computer system once again demonstrated the power of high technology, so that various meteorological organizations have leisure to argue for differences.

However, these efforts can only allow people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages as much as possible. Nature will not stop playing prestige because its own intentions are seen through. The loss of Baodao can be described as shocking.

When Typhoon Wayne hit Formosa for the first time, it made landfall from the west of Formosa. Since there was no barrier such as the central mountain range to help reduce the power of the typhoon, powerful gusts appeared in various parts of the western part of the island, and the instantaneous maximum wind speed reached 68 meters per second, which is more than 17 levels, causing huge damage.

In terms of transportation, roads and railways also collapsed in many places, and part of the roadbed was washed away, and even a landslide occurred in the tunnel; ships were stranded in Kaohsiung Port and Taichung Port, and 6 ships in Magong Port sank.

In terms of fisheries, losses including fishing gear, fishing boats, breeding, and public facilities exceeded NT$3.9 billion; losses in crops exceeded NT$5.1 billion.

In addition, Typhoon Wayne caused 68 deaths, 19 missing, 442 injured, 6,624 houses completely collapsed, and 31,532 houses partially collapsed.

The final result is that the economic loss of Formosa Island due to Typhoon Wayne is estimated to exceed NT$20 billion.

Before closing the folder and finishing the report, the assistant added regarding the boss's concerns: The damage to electricity and telecommunications is also very serious.

After the catastrophe, it's reconstruction. Tang Huan rubbed the beard stubble on his chin with his hands, and said in a deep voice, So, in my name, donate NT$100 million to help rebuild after the disaster. Such companies, depending on the specific situation, decide on their own.”

Dreamworks, do you want to make a statement? Hu Yinmeng, who came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, interjected a serious question.

You can decide on your own. Tang Huan laughed.

Hu Yinmeng nodded knowingly, and before getting up to leave, he did not forget to say, You can handle it yourself!

As the old saying goes, fire cannot be contained in paper.

After some investigation, after finding out the backgrounds of the two sisters, Huo Wenxi and Huo Baoling, Tang Huan smoothly accepted the twin Qimei sent by Yang Shoucheng.

But such a pair of well-behaved sisters must be arranged.

However, Hu Yinmeng is in control of all the big and small affairs of DreamWorks, and Xiangjiang Land Company, which has been privatized into a family business, is also controlled remotely by her aunt Tang Yun and her daughter-in-law Lin Fengjiao who live in San Francisco on the other side of Taiping.

Therefore, no matter whether it is taking care of Xingtu or the golden house, it is very difficult for Tang Huan to hide the real power in the backyard if there is a little trouble. This time, it has attracted the strongest dissatisfaction in history.

There is no other reason. Originally, the backyard system that was gradually formed, usually turned a blind eye to Tang Huan's expansion operations-anyway, you are so busy, no matter how much you spend, the degree is limited.

but one thing,

Yang Shoucheng's behavior of presenting beautiful women is a very bad example, and it is very likely to destroy the balance in the backyard.

Aunt Tang Yun criticized very severely: You really don't know how to control yourself anymore, and you don't look at how old your children are. Are you going to further compete with your sons for girlfriends of the same age in the future?

It's hard to explain Tang Huan's thoughts, he can only endure the protests in the backyard.

However, once the richest man makes a decision, he cannot change it at will. In addition to maintaining his own authority, doing so also allows Yang Shoucheng, the glove, to believe that he is deeply trusted, so that he can do things with peace of mind.

Seeing that Hu Yinmeng still did not forget to entangle this matter, Tang Huan couldn't help feeling dizzy, so he planned to leave Xiangjiang, a place of right and wrong, to continue his work schedule on Baodao when Typhoon Wayne died down.

However, before leaving, the vcd matter needs to be finalized.

At the new meeting, Ye Zhiming gave a detailed introduction to Feitu Entertainment Co., Ltd., which he specially established to operate the VCD business.

Previously, Tang Huan had already explained that the reason why he chose to hand over the marketing of VCD to Ye Zhiming in the form of an authorized agent was mainly because of the need for more flexible operation of VCD when the existing interests were very stable.

After these days of experience, Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and others have fully understood the advantages of the home vcd system compared to the home video recorder system.

First of all, the most attractive feature of vcd is the digital copyright protection, which means that film owners can make more money, but video tapes do not have this function at all, and the situation of piracy and dubbing is difficult to cure.

The menu operation function supported by vcd has brought an unprecedented friendly experience, even the elderly can easily get started.

In addition, through features such as subtitles, separation of audio stream and video stream, a vcd video disc can support Cantonese, Mandarin, English and many other languages ​​at the same time, which means that the entertainment content under its banner can enter a larger market and strive for more audience group.

No one dislikes these prospects linked to income, not to mention the gold-lettered sign of Mr. Richest Man.

At first Tang Huan wanted to explain the significance of preempting the video format, but after seeing that everyone followed his plan, he was too lazy to spit. Anyway, the benefits will be revealed when the time comes, brother don't lie!

...

After Tang Huan's Silicon Valley One arrived at Baodao, Yu Guohua, President of the Executive Yuan, greeted him at the airport in person. As soon as they met, he thanked the richest man for his selfless support for the post-disaster reconstruction of Baodao.

Tang Huan replied with a smile, Some media in Baodao, didn't they pass me on as the uncle of Baodao. After this calculation, it's not right to do such a thing.

Yu Guohua was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know whether Mr. Richest Man said this to express his dissatisfaction, or whether he didn't care about being edited by the media and laughed at himself.

Fortunately, there are a lot of things to communicate between the two sides, and this thought-provoking little episode quickly ended after a haha.

When Tang Huan came to Baodao this time, one of the hopes of Baodao is that the richest man can support the business of TSMC, which is about to announce its official establishment.

This requirement is a bit contradictory. The first integrated circuit company in Geinbaodao, Lianhua Electronics, has developed very well in recent years, and its management has a very close relationship with Tang Huan. But because of this, Baodao's control over UMC is decreasing day by day, so it has to support another more confidant integrated circuit company to compete with and balance it.

Tang Huan also added a new interest during his trip, that is, Typhoon Wayne severely damaged Taiwan’s infrastructure including telecommunications. He hoped that his product solutions could be deeply involved in post-disaster reconstruction.

Therefore, under the current complicated situation, everyone needs to communicate the various processes in place first, arrange the matters that are easy to reach an agreement to be discussed in the front, and all kinds of wrangling and haggling matters are destined to be pushed back.

A few days later, Tang Huan started his official schedule, first meeting with Mr. Xiao Jiang.

This link is not easy, because of health reasons, Mr. Jiang has fewer and fewer opportunities to appear in public.

As the old saying goes, fire cannot be contained in paper.

No matter how you try to hide it, the information about Mr. Jiang's health is not an absolute secret.

In his later years, Mr. Jiang suffered from many diseases, especially his diabetes was getting worse day by day, and his blood sugar level was difficult to get close to normal, which caused blurred retina, kidney inflammation and muscle necrosis in both legs.

As early as February 1982, Mr. Xiao Jiang underwent retinal surgery on his left eye because of severe diabetes. Since then, he finally realized that there was a serious problem with his health. Afterwards, he completely handed over military work to a staff officer with experience in the United States. Chief Hao Baicun is in charge.

In fact, according to the current medical level, Mr. Xiao Jiang has an incurable disease. The only way is to work less and rest more. Healing his illness is like raising a tiger to live one day longer.

But the current situation is changing, how can Mr. Xiao Jiang be at ease? The internal and external difficulties brought about by the Jiangnan case that broke out in 1984 alone made him feel uncomfortable and sleepless.

In August of the new year, Mr. Xiao Jiang had to undergo cataract removal surgery on his right eye, and an artificial crystal ball was installed.

In April of this year, Mr. Xiao Jiang suffered from atrial flutter-induced arrhythmia, that is, irregular heartbeat, and an artificial heart rhythm regulator was installed in Taipei Veterans General Hospital.

It can be seen from this that it is very meaningful for Mr. Jiang, who is sitting in a wheelchair, to meet Tang Huan.

The meeting place was at Mr. Xiao Jiang's official residence. The formal official flavor was very light, more like a gathering of friends, and the accompanying people were all members of the more trusted core circle such as Mr. Jiang and Mr. Song. .

Originally, Mr. Xiao Jiang wanted to let the second son of Jiang take over, but in order to calm the aftermath of the Jiangnan case, he had to be sent out of Baodao, ending his political life, and instead sent Jiang San, who was in business The son transferred to the side.

Every Tuesday and Friday, the third son of Jiang would report various public and private affairs to Mr. Jiang, which attracted many people to take advantage of various opportunities to curry favor, thus winning the title of Underground President in the outside world.

In essence, Mr. Xiao Jiang's arrangement can only be said to be an extravagant wish. According to the general law, Baodao's economic development has achieved remarkable results, and it ranks among the Four Asian Tigers. It can always ease all kinds of contradictions, but even he himself is becoming more and more unable to deal with the problems inside and outside the island. The situation has changed, let alone the continuation of his own dynasty.

Mr. Song had passed through the wind in private before. This time, Mr. Jiang wanted to meet with Tang Huan. He wanted to use the influence of Mr. Jinkou, the richest man in the world, to send a signal to the outside world that Baodao should follow the trend of the times. , to adopt a gentle and tolerant attitude. For example, recently, a group of people blatantly wanted to establish the Democratic Progressive Party, but they were not suppressed by the autumn wind like before; further, martial law was lifted and mainland relatives were allowed to visit.

Tang Huan understands that this kind of release will definitely target those influential world media——Treasure Island is really about to change!

After reading these official articles, Mr. Jiang sighed, pointed to Mr. Jiang and said to Tang Huan: If he asks Datang outside Treasure Island in the future, please take care.

This is a personal entrustment. After all, political struggles are very cruel. When Mr. Jiang was alive, he was very vicious, and it was the same for his own people. What will happen to the next generation after Mr. Jiang traveled westward with a crane? , no one can guarantee it, so they have to use the incense and love to leave some escape routes.

The richest man is quite famous now, and it will be very effective to be the leader when the time comes.

In the past few years, in order to find more ways to protect his industrial interests in Treasure Island, Tang Huan not only sprinkled money and formed good relationships, but also specially made friends with Miss Jiang's family living in San Francisco, USA. The land has some care.

Therefore, Mr. Xiao Jiang's request was not too abrupt, and Tang Huan agreed wholeheartedly—this is the best explanation for the changes in the comparison of everyone's strength over the past few years.

When he came out of Mr. Jiang's residence, Tang Huan asked the third son of Jiang not to send more and let him go back. He said with emotion to Mr. Song who sent him out together: This change is really big.

Mr. Song said in a low voice: At the beginning of this year, the United States abandoned the regime of Ferdinand Marcos, and the Philippines completely changed, which caused a great shock to the above.

Tang Huan nodded understandingly, waved goodbye, ignored these political topics, and concentrated on his business.

For example, he met with Cao Xingcheng of UMC on the same day, and asked meaningfully, How is it going, how do you feel about your trip to Silicon Valley?

Cao Xingcheng was full of complaints about Baodao's support for Zhang Zhongmou's establishment of TSMC and the competition with UMC. Tang Huan arranged for the other party to go to Silicon Valley in the United States for a detailed inspection.

The foundry model is really about to usher in an era, and we can only welcome its arrival in accordance with the current situation. Zhang Zhongmou is very accurate on this point. Cao Xingcheng, who had to be convinced, replied with a little depression .
