Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

After taking the initiative to meet several important people in one breath, it was time for others to visit Tang Huan.

The first visitor was Zou Nan, the director of Xiangjiang Branch of Xinhua News Agency who took office this year. One of his main purposes was to officially confirm that Mr. Richest Man will attend the opening ceremony of the 11th Asian Games on September 22 this year.

I still have this responsibility. Tang Huan smiled confidently, The trip to Yanjing in September this year will never be shaken!

Then I will report to the organizing committee and make preparations for the reception. Zou Nan immediately relaxed after receiving such an affirmative answer, and then tentatively asked if Mr. Richest Man saw his ex in the United States.

He took the initiative to look for me, but I don't have time to entertain. I just asked my subordinates to write a check for his pension for the sake of acquaintance. Tang Huan put down his glass and replied leisurely, As long as he is like this, live It will be fine until 100 years old.

That's fine. Zou Nan nodded clearly, and then asked: Mr. Tang, do you have anything to say, do you want me to convey it to Yanjing?

Indeed. Tang Huan put away his legs and said seriously: No matter what the reason is, China needs to develop pragmatically. I don't want to see the dynamic situation of the previous 10 years come to an abrupt end. The land that gave birth to us, We have missed too many opportunities for development. If we still do not rise up, those of us Chinese working overseas will never be respected by the first-class nations in the world. With our own efforts, we may be able to live well in peacetime, but once something goes wrong , will only become a punching bag for others.”

There is no doubt that Tang Huan has his own direct channel to Tianting, but Zou Nan's communication channel also needs to be paid attention to, which is a matter of form.

Zou Nan, who is also well versed in this principle, asked this question. He also said solemnly: I will definitely relay Mr. Tang's meaning truthfully.

...

After Zou Nan bid farewell and left, Wu Guangzheng came one after another. Based on the relationship between them, the visit and greetings to the richest man who came back from the Arctic scientific expedition had already been done, and he directly turned to the topic.

It turns out that the Hong Kong government has taken many actions in the field of radio and television. In addition to the third radio station and satellite TV licenses, it also plans to issue cable TV licenses later. However, there are strict restrictions on advertising, but because of this, competition The intensity is relatively weak.

Now, traditional businesses such as real estate, ports, trade, finance, hotels, etc., can no longer satisfy the appetite of the Xiangjiang Consortium, and they have turned their attention to telecommunications, media and other fields.

Take the telecommunications industry as an example. Before the Black Monday in 1987, HSBC used a trick to take back local calls and long-distance franchise rights as soon as possible against Qinhe Heung Kong Telecom. Huan's well-connected consortia were all thrilled, but Hong Kong Telecom, which had excellent performance, directly asked how much can the Hong Kong government pay to take back the franchise, and the farce was over.

However, in the field of mobile communications, there are no such strict restrictions on exclusive rights.

Since 1983, Xiangjiang Telecom established a wholly-owned subsidiary company - Communication Services Co., Ltd., or csl, and launched several mobile phone service brands including Big Brother, becoming the first mobile phone company in Xiangjiang, and there are three other ones in succession. Companies with a base in the paging business enter the field.

They are Hutchison Telecom, Telecom and SmarTone. Among them, in terms of the order of operation time, Hutchison Telecom is earlier, with the company fleet as the main user; Xunlian Telecom is second, and the target customers are mainly bus fleets and other groups; SmarTone is setting up airs. Sun Hung Kai Properties and abc Jiaxun, which operates the pager business, jointly invested.

In view of the fact that the maturity of the business prospects of mobile communications needs time to observe, and Heung Kong Telecom's csl has inherent advantages, the operations of Hutchison Telecom and Telecom Telecom have the nature of testing the waters, and their actions can be described as cautious.

However, just the year before last, Xunlian Telecom was acquired by First Pacific Co., Ltd. of the Lin Fengsheng family in Indonesia.

Immediately, a comprehensive mobile communication service was launched, and since last year, it has competed head-on with Heung Kong Telecom csl.

Although Qinhe Group is listed as the largest consortium in Xiangjiang, the outside world has no doubts about Tang Huan's management skills in traditional business, except for a few people such as Bao Yugang who saved a lot of money in the Wharf acquisition battle. In addition, most of them stay on the perception of deep background, rich capital to overwhelm others, and inexplicable good luck.

I don’t need to explain too much because I have a deep background. Although it is secretive, it can be regarded as understanding; the best example of how rich capital can overwhelm others is to use a lot of dollars to forcibly overwhelm Jardine who has repeatedly provoked; inexplicable good luck It is reflected in the fact that if it were not for the sudden arrival of Black Monday, the Qinhe series might really be bitten to pieces by HSBC.

Tang Huan's title of the richest man comes from high technology, and Xiangjiang's side just listened to the wind and rain and recognized his ability in this area. But Xiangjiang, a small place, has never been able to have a high-tech existence worth mentioning, and then it is impossible to talk about competition with this Silicon Valley leader.

Xunlian Telecom, which has changed its appearance, is also based on this point, and wants to step on Hongkong Telecom csl with the attitude of crossing the river.

For a long time, the reason why Tang Huan has been diligently pursuing the application of his high-tech in Xiangjiang, Singapore, Funan and other places is because the market structure in these regions is limited, and it is relatively easy to summarize replicable templates and experiences to provide a large market like the United States. A reference for safe operation.

When Xunlian Telecom rushed aggressively, it was the time when Xiangjiang Telecom csl was planning to test the water of 2G technology. So people who only listened to the legends finally saw how Tang's high-tech kingdom taught the daredevils who broke into their territory.

Xunlian Telecom, which spent a lot of money, quickly piled up a batch of base stations, as well as extremely aggressive low-price promotion plans, but only a limited explosion, and was cast aside by users and fell into a quagmire. It was originally planned to be a blockbuster in Xiangjiang. Lin Fengsheng was also caught in a dilemma, and it was even rumored that he was going to sell Xunlian Telecom directly to his rival Xiangjiang Telecom csl to stop the loss.

Those who have witnessed this scene, when intending to enter the field of TV, which Media Asia TV and TVB have jointly controlled for more than 10 years, are all thinking hard and trying to come up with the most perfect and feasible competition plan.

You know, not to mention that TV also belongs to Tang Huan's traditional territory, and the current stage is also the most active period for the application of various new technologies in this field, which is very likely to attract the other party's merciless attack.

Wheelock chose cable TV as its investment target, overriding satellite TV. It was due to the restrictions imposed by the Hong Kong government on many aspects including advertising, which made the project somewhat unpopular with investors. Tang Huan’s The heart of competition is also less, and the result is the same. The richest man is more interested in satellite TV than cable TV.

Under such circumstances, Wheelock made preparations with confidence, but the source of the program is a test of professionalism and accumulation. Wheelock cannot catch up with Media Asia TV and tvb in a short period of time, so it can only think about it. Ways to make up for shortcomings.

According to the suggestion given to Wu Guangzheng by his subordinates, Wharf Cable TV Co., Ltd., which is being established and perfected, plans to rebroadcast the channels of Media Asia TV and purchase the content produced by DreamWorks, and the news channel rebroadcasting will become more and more famous around the world. Coming to the big CNN show.

Tang Huan frowned and said, Wharf Cable TV is so fully prepared, I'm really worried that it will disrupt the current relatively balanced situation of Hong Kong's TV industry.

Wu Guangzheng said with a smile: The Hong Kong government is determined to issue the license, and if it falls into my hands, it will be much better than others.

That's true. Tang Huan nodded. There is no problem in purchasing Dreamworks' production content. TVB can participate in the auction, and Wharf Cable TV is naturally also eligible; I can also help coordinate the retransmission of CNN programs; but the retransmission of Media Asia TV programs still needs to wait. Selina Chow will give you a professional reference.

Then take it step by step, as long as you are not in a hurry to refuse. Wu Guangzheng said slyly: I will properly guide these good news during the bidding process to improve competitiveness.

You can do whatever you want. Tang Huan shrugged, and did not point out the reason why the other party was so keen on investing in the media. Just in early April this year, the third meeting of the Seventh National People's Congress passed the Xiangjiang Basic Law, which stipulated that the Chief Executive The resulting process naturally made some people with lofty ideals start planning early. It's just that the other party's own family seems to have made a foolish move...

Tang Huangang thought about this, so he heard Wu Guangzheng ask: I heard a rumor that in order to save the confidence of the Xiangjiang Big Capital Consortium, the central government plans to set up an insurance fund in a third country, so that each consortium can directly transfer assets to A third country to ensure investment confidence?

You are really well informed. Tang Huan smiled noncommittally.

I am now the chairman of the board of directors of Wharf Group, so of course I have to prick up my ears and pay attention to any disturbance. Wu Guangzheng smiled wryly, You must have heard that my brother-in-law who is the chairman of the Xiangjiang General Chamber of Commerce, A proposal was made to lease Xiangjiang for ten billion Hong Kong dollars for ten years, which caused misunderstandings at the higher levels and cost some of my father-in-law’s hard work.”

Bao Yugang, who was suffering from cancer, really lost his energy, and even had to let go of his great ambitions for the banking industry. He quit Standard Chartered Bank and was dominated by Qiu Depu's family; and he only served as a consultant in his own business kingdom. and divided the property into four and handed it over to the descendants of the family. The eldest son-in-law Su Haiwen got global shipping, and the second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng got the most comfortable Wheelock.

It is probably because of this that Bao Yugang can no longer control the family members of each Lishantou like a man, which led to such a disturbance.

Didn't you actually separate your family? You have your own life, so there's nothing to worry about. Tang Huan replied lazily, but didn't let go.

Wu Guangzheng was not so easy to dismiss, and asked persistently: But I heard that Funan may become this third country...

Tang Huan waved his hand, and asked back, What do you think Qinhe is doing? Is there any big Chinese businessman in Xiangjiang who is not in the midst of one after another turmoil, betting on the top, and then succeeding in speculation. Now it is nothing more than another bargain hunter Good opportunity, only those idiots who can't eat can restless and jump up and down. Can't Li Bancheng's recent posture give you a reference? If Wheelock's liquidity is a little tight, I can personally support it.

...

In the conference room with a strong atmosphere, Li Junxia, ​​a brother of Xiangjiang police, is seriously arranging tasks.

At this time, a close friend came over and whispered a few words, and Li Junxia's face showed a rare joy, and immediately ordered: Keep going.

Obviously, he has received good news. The mastermind who planned the second kidnapping of Wang Dehui, the retired police chief Zhong Weizheng, has been caught. Even though the scheming opponent cast aside everything, he still showed his flaws.

Bah, a guy like you wants to play remote control too? Li Junxia, ​​who cursed secretly, continued to follow Tang's richest man's instructions and deploy actions, and his voice suddenly became agitated: Recently, the illegal phenomenon in Xiangjiang It is getting more and more rampant, and even the downtown area has frequent scenes of gunfights between gangsters and police officers. We have been questioned the most, and this sweep is a chance to redeem our honor.”

I want to emphasize again that no one here is allowed to use personal communication tools. Even if you go to the bathroom, at least two people must go together. If anyone is caught by me, then you can figure out what happens.

Speaking of this, Li Junxia's face showed a bit of sternness, The Hong Kong government has reached an agreement with Funan to detain prisoners in another place. I don't mind going to trouble and sending the renegades there to enjoy the blue sky and clear water without any modern pollution.

...

Compared to the dignified and solemn atmosphere in the conference room, the atmosphere in a certain restaurant was extremely lively. Zhong Huagong, Zhong Huasheng, Zhong Huabo and other brothers sat together to drink and talk happily.

The topic they are talking about is that not long ago in May, when Laguna City was pre-selling uncompleted properties, the spectacular scene of eight hundred strong men rushing to the site and queuing up.

Located in East Lam Tin, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Laguna City, jointly developed by Cheung Kong, Shell Petroleum and Hutchison Real Estate, has an extremely superior location, which makes the increasingly lawless and unsatisfactory community forces covet it, directing a funny story And ironic gangsters queuing up to speculate in real estate incidents.

Suddenly Zhong Huabo said carelessly, Old Ten, since that Zhou Xingxing is so popular, why don't we just control it, so as not to be taken away by DreamWorks.

The richest man hasn't come to Xiangjiang for more than a year, so you have a face? Zhong Huagong showed displeasure, We follow the rules, everyone has a good face, if you steal someone's artist, you will be stabbed. There's a hornet's nest.

Zhong Huabo laughed arrogantly, You have become more and more cowardly. Now that the sky is dark in Xiangjiang, it is the world of clubs. We can speculate in real estate. What's the point of grabbing an artist...

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the restaurant, and there was a stern voice: The police department is in special operations, please cooperate.
