Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 601 The Big Project of the Wang Family
This is today's update, yesterday's duplicate chapter has also been updated.

……

When Tang Huan came to Baodao this time, in addition to inspecting the supply chain of Fangyuan Computer, he also planned to see if he could guide the flow of capital here.

Since the beginning of this year, the media has been paying attention to what countermeasures Western developed countries will take in order to solve the problem of the growing trade deficit in the United States.

The 5th G2 summit to be held in Bonn, West Germany on May 11 has therefore become the focus of much attention.

Not surprisingly, the appreciation of the yen has become one of the possible means of speculation and discussion by the outside world, but the relevant parties have been practicing Tai Chi, and their tone is not generally tight.

In fact, in order to solve its trade deficit problem, the United States does not just plan to let the yen appreciate. Export-oriented economies like Takarashima are also targets of restrictions, and Takarashima naturally has no say in this.

Although the sword of final judgment has not yet fallen, there are traces of the introduction of economic policies. The closer to the core of the circle, the more you can feel this pressure.

Even if it is going to be blocked by Uncle Sam, Formosa Capital still has a strong desire to go out. The most ideal goal is naturally the opposite mainland. Unfortunately, it is impossible now, even if it is not possible to invest indirectly through Xiangjiang.

What Tang Huan wants to say to Baodao Capital is that although Funan has not been completely settled and is not generally backward, it still has investment value.

As Tang Huan expected, Baodao's response was flat.He didn't take it seriously. Let's wait until the United States officially introduces its policy and everyone's necks are pinched until they can't breathe. Anyway, he has blown the wind, which can be regarded as a foreshadowing. I believe it can have some effect. Effect.

After returning from Hsinchu Science and Technology Park that day, Jian Mingren said: "Don't you want to talk to my father-in-law in private? We have already made arrangements there."

"Has my intention been revealed?" Tang Huan asked casually.

"I mentioned it, but it was just a non-committal attitude." Jian Mingren spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's better for you to go and talk face to face."

……

Tang Huan has cooperated with the Wang family a lot. In addition to Wang Xuehong, Wang Xueling, and Jian Mingren's lineage directly serving his IT industry, Formosa Plastics has also dabbled in its own business, such as printed circuit boards, CDs and other cooperation projects.

When Tang Huan met Wang Yongqing this time, what he wanted to discuss was not cooperation in the IT field, but Formosa Plastics' traditional field - the chemical industry.

He asked straight to the point: "I heard that Formosa Plastics intends to build Taiwan's first private oil refinery, but the application has never been approved?"

"Mr. Tang is really well-informed about the news in Baodao." Wang Yongqing laughed pointedly.

In 1973, after the first oil crisis broke out, Baodao was naturally affected, and Formosa Plastics' raw material supply was affected.

In order to ensure a stable supply of raw materials in the mid- and downstream production chain, Formosa Plastics has applied many times to set up a factory, but so far, it has not been approved.

This plant construction plan starts with a core light oil cracking plant, and then builds several petrochemical-related industrial facilities around it.

Tang Huan naturally did some homework in collecting information beforehand, and then continued what the other party said: "I also know some widely circulated news, but I don't know the exact reason why Formosa Plastics' application was blocked. However, in my opinion, The pollution incident at the RCA Baodao factory had a huge impact on the island. People have the most direct and clear understanding of the concept of environmental protection. The Formosa Plastics factory plan has serious consequences in terms of land, water resources, carbon dioxide emissions, etc. It will bring a huge burden to Baodao. Even if the officials value economic benefits, they will have many concerns."

Wang Yongqing was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have to say, Mr. Tang has a keen eye and has seen the power of it. This is also the biggest reason for you to lobby me to put this project in Funan."

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Many times, comparison can best explain the problem."

"If Formosa Plastics' plan to build a factory is approved, the site selection issue must first be considered. A project with such huge environmental pressure may not be able to settle on the island. The only option is to reclaim land, and the cost is hard to say."

"More importantly, Formosa Plastics' plan to build a factory has been delayed for a long time, and land reclamation will only further extend the construction period."

"In addition, since the factory is built on an outlying island, pipelines and other facilities must consider the issue of seawater corrosion, and it is difficult to explain the cost clearly."

"I can also be sure that with the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection in Taiwan, the carbon dioxide emissions, water pollution and other environmental problems associated with chemical companies will only add to the pressure on Formosa Plastics."

"Looking at Funan, although it is backward in every aspect, including the infrastructure, the land alone is worth the ticket price. And it has enough space to bear the environmental pressure of this project."

"Mr. Tang is very eloquent, and he really moved me." Wang Yongqing gave a thumbs up, and then changed the subject: "I think you also understand that for such a large project, economic and environmental factors need to be considered, but In terms of importance, it is not as important as the risks at the political level."

"You make sense." Tang Huan nodded in agreement, "So, I hope you can go to Funan to investigate in person. After all, there are some situations that can only be understood and cannot be explained in words."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled playfully, "Even if you have made a decision now, no matter what, you have to build the factory in Baodao, but this itinerary will put pressure on the above--Formosa Plastics has many choices. If we delay for a long time, the cooked duck will fly."

Wang Yongqing was immediately amused by Tang Huan's words and laughed heartily, "Mr. Tang is really a wonderful man. When you say that, I can't even think about being lazy."

Tang Huan thought for a while and suggested: "You can arrange for someone you trust to go to Funan to take a front stand, and you can also build momentum here on Baodao."

Wang Yongqing nodded slightly, "No matter what, I owe Mr. Tang a favor this time."

……

Naturally, such a large project cannot be decided in one fell swoop. It doesn't matter if Wang Yongqing's attitude is ambiguous. He will wait until he goes to Funan for inspection before conducting the second round of public relations.No matter how much we say now, it is just castles in the air and lacks actual profit drivers.

After Tang Huan made a few calls in the study to make appropriate arrangements, he walked back to the living room and saw Lu Xiuling sitting on the sofa, reading her resume one by one.

In addition to the classical music and dance combination of Lu Xiuling and Li Saifeng, Tang Huan felt that they could also learn from the successful experience of the original Time and Space Women's Twelve Orchestra to create an orchestra that performs Chinese music in the form of pop music.

Lu Xiuling, who graduated from Huagang Art School, started learning piano at an early age. In 1979, she stood out with her pipa performance in Taiwan TV's "Five Lantern Awards" and won the championship in the solo competition. She then entered the entertainment industry and joined Qiong Yao's Superstar Pictures Company, becoming Basic actors.

Li Saifeng also has a good foundation in piano since childhood.

Both of their current acting achievements are very average, so they might as well give full play to their own strengths, try a different approach to the orchestra, and come forward to organize it.

Tang Huan has no idea what level of commercial value it can achieve, but one thing he is sure of is that in the rapidly developing electronic games, the importance of music is becoming more and more obvious, and the demand it generates is enough to ensure that This team should belong to a niche group and survive relatively well.

"Have you picked a suitable candidate?" Tang Huan sat across from him, picked up the newspaper, and asked casually while browsing.

"Not so fast. Erhu, pipa, dulcimer, guzheng, flute, players who need to work together are not easy to match. I collected these resumes from Huagang Art School." Lu Xiuling, who was sorting out the materials, replied Yanran .

It can be seen that she has put a lot of enthusiasm into forming a girl band.

"Then take your time. DreamWorks' network will also help find candidates." Tang Huan comforted.

While they were chatting, the housekeeper came over to report, "Gu Long is here to pay a visit."

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: Why is this hero here?

To be honest, he was a little disappointed with Gu Long.

I have always taken care of the other party's business, such as purchasing the video game license for his martial arts novel at a high price, and the recent licensing fee paid by DreamWorks for the adaptation of the TV series "Lu Xiaofeng: The Phoenix Dances for Nine Days".

If managed properly, Gu Long can buy a pretty good property just by using these incomes.

It's a pity that the old-fashioned Gu Long's martial arts-style movies have not been popular in the past few years. Even Shaw's Chu Yuan has switched from directing to acting at such an age, but Gu Long still stubbornly shoots such movies, and it is conceivable that he will lose money again and again Knowing that, even his marriage was on the rocks, and he also resumed his life style of drinking, drinking, and sensuality.

In contrast, Gu Long's friends like Wang Yu and Lin Qingxuan seemed to be congenial, but none of them kept their eyes open and became the big winners in life.

In the original time and space, Gu Long died in 1985.But Tang Huan felt that he couldn't help the other party.This hero spends as much money as he has. No matter how much he gives, it is useless.

After Gu Long entered the living room, Lu Xiuling had already gone to another room.

Tang Huan made a gesture of invitation and looked at the other party carefully.After all, the job of the richest man is very busy, and the two haven't seen each other for a long time.This also makes the contrast between the image in front of him and the impression retained in his mind very obvious. Not only does his complexion not look good, but his original "big-headed, fat" body shape has also been severely reduced.

"You should take care of yourself." After the butler put down the tea and left, Tang Huan reminded him lightly.

"I've always been a person who doesn't drink or have fun, and I don't care about maintenance," Gu Long smiled and shook his head.

He also seemed to feel that factors such as time, space, and social status had caused him to become unfamiliar with Tang Huan, so he quickly turned to the topic, "In addition to the filming of the TV series "Lu Xiaofeng: Phoenix Dance in Nine Heavens", DreamWorks also has "Peerless Two Prouds", "End of the World Moon Sword" and other projects, I brought some related things over."

Looking at the leather bag that Gu Long pointed at, Tang Huan's lips moved, and he swallowed the words again, but he muttered in his heart, "What are you doing with me, just hand it over to DreamWorks."

Gu Long quickly explained: "I don't know what happened recently, but I always feel emotional suddenly and inexplicably. Looking back carefully, Mr. Tang took care of my business. At that time, I saw so many zeros, not to mention how excited I was, but now Nothing was left."

Hearing what the other party said, Tang Huan couldn't help but rub his nose and cursed: "Who told you to spend too much money?"

Gu Long sighed softly, "It's actually a meaning to bother Mr. Tang this time. Don't give me the rewards for these works. Please keep Mr. Tang on your behalf. I have enough chic in my life, and I owe a lot The debt of gratitude may come in handy when the time comes.”

After saying this, Gu Long, who didn't even touch the tea cup, stood up and left without waiting for Tang Huan to speak.

Tang Huan, who had regained his composure, quickly followed him out and saw that Gu Long had already reached the big iron gate.The sun was setting in the west, making the hero's back look a little desolate.

Tang Huan shook his head slightly, called the housekeeper and said, "Hurry up and send a car to see Mr. Xiong off."

……

Gu Long's visit was a bit unexpected, but the meeting with another great writer Qiong Yao was part of the itinerary plan, and the location was in a courtyard, or more accurately, a studio.

After the movie "Last Night's Light" premiered at the end of March 1983, Qiong Yao's Superstar Film Company stopped the filming business.

When Tang Huan and Lin Qingxia went to Qiong Yao's house for dinner together, they persuaded the other party to switch from the film industry to the television industry and film TV series.

Gein's works that are far away from politics are very suitable for DreamWorks to distribute, and they can also be sought after by some audiences. The brilliant achievements of the original time and space illustrate this point.

Unfortunately, Qiong Yao seemed a little tired and had to take a break.

Of course, Tang Huan could let DreamWorks directly buy Qiong Yao's work and adapt and film it himself, but that would definitely lose its inherent flavor, and it's hard to say what kind of results it would achieve.

People are always realistic. Tang Huan estimated that Qiong Yao was unsure of the market and was afraid of losing money, so she refused to go out.

Therefore, he asked Lin Qingxia to spread the word: DreamWorks is willing to jointly create a company with Qiong Yao to shoot TV dramas, and the management model is creative-oriented. Qiong Yao will bring her own team to produce, and DreamWorks will do the budget.

Not to mention, Qiong Yao readily agreed to leave the mountain after visiting the thatched cottage three times and paying homage to the corporals.

The 30-episode TV series "Red Sunset" she is currently filming with director Liu Lili is the first TV series, and DreamWorks has already reached an agreement with Baodao's China Vision, which will become the first buyer.

Accompanied by Qiong Yao, Ping Xintao, and Liu Lili, Tang Huan walked around the set and felt a little sorry when he saw Qin Han, one of the leading actors.

In today's entertainment industry, some people are desperately trying to squeeze into the film industry, while others are doing the opposite and dedicating themselves to TV series. This is the case for Liu Xuehua, who plays the heroine, and she no longer makes movies.

Tang Huan looked at this lineup and said to himself that he was right to let go in production. All aspects were in line with expectations.
