Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 72 Talk about the adaptation of the novel

Because there were too many things before, after Tang Huan left the story of the “Shanghai_tan” novel to Hu Yinmeng, he only listened to the direct results of the report, but asked about the specific process.

So when Lu Xiaohu parked his car and Hu Yinmeng said “I’m here”, Tang Huan, who was talking to Zhou Mi, accidentally looked out, and realized that Hu Yinmeng chose to publish “Shanghai_tan” as the newspaper “Sing Tao Daily”. “.

What a coincidence, Tang Huan remembered that the owner of this newspaper was also named Hu, and his name was Hu Xian.

Now, Hong Kong has three major newspapers: Ming Pao, founded in 1959, Oriental Daily, founded in 1969, and Sing Tao Daily, founded in 1938.

In Xiangjiang, a special place where all forces are intricate, various reasons such as position, style, grievances, etc. are often hidden under various appearances.

Taking newspapers as an example, Jin Yong’s Ming Pao has a right-handed position, while the Ma family, the owner of Oriental Daily, and the Hu family, the owner of Sing Tao Daily, have a lot of connections with Baodao, so their position is naturally different. It goes without saying.

For example, in the former, the report used the Republican year; the latter has always been like this.

Of course, these things changed after entering the nineties.

Merchant, in the final analysis, you have to consider income.

In the style of the newspaper, Ming Pao seldom uses headlines that shock readers, and like the Hong Kong version of Sing Tao Daily, it does not have a “fengyue” version. The layout and color are slightly monotonous, and it tends to use neutral language, so its credibility is quite high. As for Hong Kong, many middle schools and primary schools will subscribe Ming Pao on behalf of their students.

Dongfang Daily, which claims to be “No. 1 in sales,” not only has a monthly edition, but also uses controversial methods to attract attention in its reports from time to time.

As long as he did not choose a newspaper that tends to lower its style, such as the Oriental Daily, Tang Huan didn’t care which newspaper Hu Yinmeng published “Shanghai_tan” in.

After Hu Yinmeng entered the newspaper, Tang Huan waved his hand and motioned to Lu Xiaohu to drive to the company.

……

Although there was no actual participation, the Heung Kong subsidiary was established in full accordance with Tang Huan’s vision. Zhuang Yinuo helped Zhou Mi and others to select a property in the southern business district of Kowloon, and then directly bought it as an office location. Called generous.

Of course, the reason why this process went so smoothly was that the famous Huo boss secretly helped, which belonged to Tang Huan borrowing from his grandfather.

When entering the door, Lu Xiaohu said disdainfully, “When we first took over, there were a few miscellaneous hairs who claimed to be some kind to collect protection fees. It was very arrogant. It made me fat, all of a sudden. Honestly.”

Zhou Mi snorted dissatisfiedly, “Business is about peace and wealth. You guys who are brave and fierce are just messing around. This is the environment here in Xiangjiang, and the strong dragon does not suppress the snake. If it weren’t for me to find a way to make up for it. , Can’t stop.”

Lu Xiaohu laughed happily, “Since you wipe your ass, what’s the fear of me.”

Tang Huan waved his hand and said directly and qualitatively: “It’s good to do both soft and hard.”

According to Tang Huan’s plan, a product exhibition hall was set up on the first floor. This is a pure philosophical kingdom of science and technology. Even the hardware platform used in the demonstration was eliminated from Apple computers, and Fangyuan computers were used directly.

If you divide the era of personal computers like game consoles, in the early and mid-1970s, the Altair computer supported by Gates’ BASIC compiler belonged to the first generation, and the Mac in the late 1970s belonged to the second generation, and then IBMPC came out. Manufacturers fully adopted 16-bit CPUs, followed by 286, 386, 486, Pentium generation… and so on.

To be honest, the Fangyuan computer currently belonging to the second generation does not satisfy Tang Huan. Because of the constraints of progress, technology, cost, etc., it is only Wozzi’s second-generation Apple computer and its own display enhancements in terms of hardware. The expansion card is a complex that supports printing function enhancement expansion card and Han card through the expansion slot, and the software has built-in DOS, CGrid, WordEasy through ROM.

Tang Huan intends to start research and development of the second-generation 16-bit computer with IBMPC as the competitor next year. At present, let the eight-bit machine bloom the last splendor.

What’s more, this type of product is now very recognized by the market.

In the beginning, Tang Huan set the price of Fangyuan Computer to the people-friendly route of US$1,500, and Hanka was also US$1,500. Then, with the optimization of the factory’s production, the price was gradually reduced.

As a result, the operating situation on the treasure island is directly doubled on this basis, and users are still buying it. It seems that this situation will continue for a long time, and I don’t know how much benefit distribution is involved.

This is the benefit of technology monopoly. If it is placed in Japan, it is estimated that imitation compatible products will appear in half a year.

No matter how high-end Treasure Island takes, it is impossible to eat all the products at once, and it still needs to rely on Xiangjiang, especially the huge market of Japan, to help digest it.

Tang Huan will naturally not find himself uncomfortable in pricing, and he has to consider the actual situation.

However, the price of US$1,500 did not seem to be enough to show the size of Fangyuan Computer. Tang Huan decided to try the water by one third.

Several engineers transferred from Baodao are training new employees in groups in the hall. Seeing Tang Huan arrived, they hurried over to say hello, and the faces of others also showed respectful expressions.

Not for anything else, the treatment of philosophers is generous enough, and the positions in high-tech companies are enough to make everyone proud.

Tang Huan nodded and glanced around, and saw that the exhibition hall was divided into detailed areas according to product functions: spreadsheets, word processing, databases, financial accounting, invoicing management, Xiaobawang game consoles, etc. After the users came , According to the needs, you can directly inquire about the number of seats.

Zhou Mi said in a low voice: “The Huo family’s eldest son took the initiative to purchase five computers. I can see that he is purely selling face, so I selected a few engineers with the best technology to do after-sales service. As a result, Boss Huo found that these products are indeed very useful, and they placed a batch of orders seriously.”

It seems that with the development of the economy, information office has indeed become a necessity for enterprises.

Tang Huan wondered, and asked casually, “Where is the Cubs game console?”

Zhou Mi smiled awkwardly, “I don’t know how to locate this thing. Is it sold in a department store like a TV? I haven’t been able to contact it yet. It is placed in the exhibition hall. No one cares about it except the employees secretly play it. .”

Hearing this, Tang Huan was stunned, and then laughed. He remembered that Philosopher hadn’t advertised his product in Xiangjiang yet. The person from Baodao was Lin Fengjiao, and Xiangjiang also wanted to find a good character. .

On the second floor, Lu Xiaohu shouted, “Zheng Gang, Yang Qinglin, Wei Jun, come out quickly and see who is here.”

As soon as the voice fell, the three young men ran out of an office. After seeing Tang Huan, they shouted in surprise: “Little Master.”

Tang Huan smiled and shook his head, “Hurry up and change my name, because I’m all called old. At that time, I was young and ignorant. I used my skills to bully you. I can’t count.”

The three looked at each other, obviously at a loss as to how to call them.

Tang Huan hugged them one by one, and then laughed loudly: “In this way, in private, you, like Lao Zhou and Hu Zi, call me Da Tang, and outsiders call me Mr. Tang. I like arty.”

Seeing this scene on the side, Zhou Mi nodded in his heart, “I haven’t seen it in a few years, and Datang has changed a lot. No wonder I became a multimillionaire.”

Tang Huan walked into the office of the three of them and saw that there were several ashtrays on the coffee table and desk, and the newspapers were also randomly laid out.

Lu Xiaohu explained to the side: “A talent like Mr. Zhou can show his talents wherever he can. The four of us can only run errands, make a shot, and be on duty at night to do some unskilled work. When I’m fine, I read the newspaper. I just like martial arts novels. It’s enjoyable. By the way, I know all the traditional characters.”

Tang Huan sighed with understanding, “I always stay in the office like this and it makes you boring.”

“By the way, is there any free space in this property? Can a place dedicated to fitness and entertainment be opened, so that everyone’s leisure life can be more colorful.” Tang Huan turned his head and asked carefully.

“It can be arranged, but there is an additional cost.” Hesitating to answer carefully, obviously disapproving of such extravagance.

“It doesn’t matter, money is the most important issue to consider. You will leave this to you.” Tang Huan decided.

After speaking, Tang Huan picked up a newspaper and saw that it was the Oriental Daily News. Just about to drop it, he suddenly focused his eyes and saw a report on it with the title “Talented and Rich Girl, Talented Love and Money” by the author Li Ao, The content is his cynicism on Hu Yinmeng’s “Shanghai_Beach”, and lamented that such an independent-minded woman also played a word game of sorrow and sorrow, joys and sorrows, and seemed to have been brainwashed by a rich man.

I wiped it, this senior black hand is so long that it stretched out from Baodao to Xiangjiang. Is it a trick by the Oriental Daily to pursue sales?

Although this set is a bit annoying, it has helped to enhance the reputation of “Shang_Ban”, and it has attracted Li Ao’s attention, and it can be regarded as protecting this person by the way.

Seeing Tang Huan frowned, Yang Qinglin, who was slightly white, pointed to another newspaper and said: “I have read the novel of “Shang_Beach”. Yes, it’s just that the protagonist is written to death, which makes people feel unhappy. .”

Tang Huan smiled Picking up the Sing Tao Daily, he couldn’t help frowning, feeling a little unhappy.

It turned out that “Shang_Ban” marked two authors: Hu Yinmeng and Tang Huan.

Tang Huan, Tang Huan.

Is this Hu Yinmeng giving himself a pen name? Didn’t I let her publish novels alone? This woman didn’t say anything to herself. It was too unscrupulous to just do it. It seems that her boss still hasn’t managed the secretary well.

At this time, a call came from the front desk, and it was from Hu Yinmeng.

“Ms. Fang Yihua from Shaw Brothers wants to meet me to talk about the adaptation of the TV series “Shang_Ban”. Am I going to meet with her?”

Now Run Run Run is only the executive director of TVB, and he is not a family member. Is he working so hard? It seems that opportunities are really reserved for those who are prepared.

Tang Huan thought to himself, and said: “Naturally, when we come to Xiangjiang this time, we also want to take a look at the value of “Shanghai Beach”.

“Then how do I talk to the other party, what’s the bottom line?” Hu Yinmeng asked hesitantly.

“The way of cooperation I hope is that we invest ourselves in filming, and the other party directly purchases our finished products for broadcasting, so that we own the copyright of the film and television.” Tang Huan ordered carefully.

Hu Yinmeng understood for a while and said, “I understand, I will try to talk now.”

Tang Huan encouraged her, “Just sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, if it is not enough, cooperate with ATV…Li, I believe that one party will agree.”
