Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"Your business sense is very keen." Tang Huan nodded slightly and motioned to his assistant to bring Ye Zhiming to see him later, and he walked into the elevator.

Compared with the deep-rooted popularity of home video tapes in the United States and Japan, Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia are emerging markets. This is determined by the relatively late formation of the middle class, the main consumer who can afford home video recorders.

It is precisely because of this difference that although the American business community favors the copyright protection function provided by Tang Huan to vcd, it is still uncertain whether it will touch the commercial interests of the existing huge home video recorder and video tape.

Naturally, Tang Huan had expected this situation long ago, and he can understand it-for others, the biggest attraction of vcd is the copyright protection function that appeared for the first time. This weight is not big enough.

However, from the perspective of Chinese-language movies, the stakes are different.

The convenience of language communication brought by the functions of vcd's subtitles, video stream and audio stream isolation, etc., can first directly benefit the sales of entertainment content.

For this, Tang Huan deserves to be on the front line, and the Southeast Asian market, where the existing interests are not intense, is the best test field.

Currently, all major film companies in HeungKong have their own video tape distribution channels. Under this circumstance, Tang Huan intends to form a separate team outside the existing entertainment industry system for the marketing of family VCDs. The requirements for the quality of personnel are mainly flexible minds, rich experience, indispensable ability and courage, and must be sufficiently independent.

These requirements are simple to say, but for a while, there is really no satisfactory candidate who can enter the vision of the richest man.

...

After taking a break, Tang Huan asked his assistant to call in Ye Zhiming, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Regarding the situation of this person, the richest man also knows a little bit. Because of the three ups and downs of the other party in the market, it is inevitable that he will be so legendary.

The first ups and downs were in the 1960s. Ye Zhiming made millions of dollars by speculating and renting yachts, but then he lost all his oil investments.

The second ups and downs was in the 1970s. By chance, Ye Zhiming made a fortune on jeans and established a business kingdom worth more than 100 million yuan. The limelight was better than before, and he also invested in movies across fields, but in the end, because of the lack of capital turnover, Ended with company selling.

The third ups and downs were in the 1980s. Ye Zhiming turned to invest in resorts. At first, there was a lot of movement, but now he is also facing the end of selling.

Otherwise, his sister would not leave her daughter alone and enter the entertainment circle to participate in the beauty pageant.

Some gossip is indeed boring, but there are still some causal connections in it.

Tang Huan's evaluation of Ye Zhiming is that he is talented and able to fight the country, but he can't hold the country. This is also the crux of why many people can only be in the upper class.

Of course, these problems of Ye Zhiming have nothing to do with the richest man. Tang Huan only needs to know that the other party has considerable talents—not to mention that it is not an advantage that the ultimate hunter is the best. I like this kind of super wage earners who make wedding gowns for others.

"I heard that Mr. Ye spent many days very hard at the Wenhua Hotel in order to see me." Tang Huan put down his cup and asked casually.

"It's hard to talk about hard work. This year's Hua Jie contest is so huge, I think Tang Sheng will definitely attend it in person, so I stayed in the hotel cafe for a while every day to see if I could meet Tang Sheng's car. Besides, It's worth seeing Tang Sheng," Ye Zhiming said with a smile.

These words of his are not flattering. The circle of the richest man is not so easy to catch up. Those who have the intention must first ask themselves what value they are worthy of others.

"It's no wonder that Mr. Ye has worked hard in the business sea for many years, and he can't stand down. The tenacity that holds the green hills to relax is beyond people's reach." Tang Huankou warmly praised a few words.

"Tang Sheng has a good reputation, my little scene is not worth mentioning." Ye Zhiming's humility hides a bit of bitterness.

In fact, his resort business has reached the point where it’s only one step away from the sale, and he must find a way to start anew; and after hearing the internal news of DreamWorks that the sister occasionally learned, driven by the risky genes, his The idea of ​​turning over has been applied to the brand-new family vcd business, and in particular may also be mixed into the circle of the richest man.

Tang Huan respects people regardless of identity gap, and it is impossible to spend too much time in the part of greetings. After chatting two gossips, he changed the subject and talked about the topic, "Since you are interested in the VCD business, then you are right. How much does it understand, such as the relationship between market competition."

Seeing the richest man test himself, the energetic Ye Zhiming quickly replied, "I think, although video recorders are the mainstream of the current home theater products, the development momentum of laser discs is also very noteworthy. As a new generation For similar products, VCD must defeat these two competitors in order to finally dominate the market."

Tang Huan nodded slightly, and said in his heart: "Ye Zhiming has worked hard in this field. However, such insights can only be said to be a necessary entry level, and he cannot be trusted."

The noncommittal of the richest man did not discourage Ye Zhiming. He concentrated his mind and continued to say: "Although I don’t understand high technology, I can’t fully understand the similarities and differences between the digital and analog methods, but I can still summarize some simple aspects at the application level. the opinion of."

"In the field of broadcast and television, the competition between vcd and video tape is very fierce, but it is too high-end, and we non-professionals can't do it."

"In the consumer-level field, in addition to the three-nation war of videotapes, laser discs, and vcds on home theaters, another emerging entertainment method-karaoke, is also a battlefield that cannot be ignored. However, videotapes are directly at the starting line due to their own congenital shortcomings. Was eliminated."

"I have visited Stormwind City and other nightclubs in Lan Kwai Fong. Karaoke is very popular as a high-end pastime. Both laser DVD and VCD products are used, but with powerful functions , The slightly more expensive vcd system certainly represents the future."

"So, I think that the marketing of VCD should not only authorize film distribution alone, but also bring other consumer-level application solutions such as MTV and karaoke to operate as a whole."

"You are really ambitious." After quietly listening to the other party for several minutes, Tang Huan laughed. "How is your current financial situation? This determines your possible participation and profitability."

Ye Zhiming, who was stabbed in pain, couldn't help but flushed his face. It seems that he is also aware of this bad thing. The richest man is generous, but he will not allow anyone to take advantage of it.

"Tang Sheng can rest assured that there are indeed difficulties in my current investment, but the source of funds is not a problem. I have a friend named Yang Shoucheng who has made a fortune in the Middle East in recent years. He has sufficient cash in his hand and is willing to Support me." In response to Tang Huandong's all-encompassing gaze, Ye Zhiming honestly showed his trump card.

"Is it the Yang Shoucheng who had all his assets confiscated by HSBC two years ago, and even received the notification letter ‘Benz is a transportation tool for successful people’?" Tang Huan asked with interest.

Anyway, these embarrassments do not belong to him, Ye Zhiming nodded and said yes, "Unexpectedly, Tang Sheng had also heard of him."

"Of course, I'm still paying attention to HSBC's deeds, and my subordinates talk about it from time to time." Tang Huan smiled meaningfully.

"My friend has a good idea. After the business failed, he ran to the Middle East and successfully turned over after a short period of time. Now he earns Arab dollars, and he has almost taken back control of his original business from HSBC." Ye Zhiming introduced with envy.

In Tang Huan's eyes, speculators like Ye Zhiming who have been famous, but whose achievements have not been able to crush everything and win heroes regardless of their provenance, are of course not considered advanced.

However, the marketing of consumer-grade VCDs is a bit special, and people really need to be "gloves" in the market.

After getting to know Ye Zhiming face-to-face, Tang Huan no longer wastes time, and muttered: "You want to integrate all the entertainment and consumer businesses of VCD for marketing, but you have some insights. In this way, you first submit one as soon as possible. Show me a written report."

...

After leaving the Mandarin Hotel, Ye Zhiming wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself, did he win the recognition of the richest man? Wouldn't it be euphemistically dismissed with a business plan?

In any case, my current financial situation really cannot be trusted, and I must find a way to whitewash it.

After making up his mind, Ye Zhiming hurried to find Yang Shoucheng whom he mentioned in front of Tang Huan. Because the other party has an office in Central and is engaged in business such as gold and stocks, it didn't take much time and we met soon.

At the age of 12, he wandered around the dock and sold watches; at the age of 24, he won the Omega and Rolex agency rights and opened the Emperor Watch and Jewelry Store. Yang Shoucheng was quite loyal. He was sentenced to nine prisoners in 1981 for "obstructing justice." month.

Correspondingly, on the other hand, he is very good at making friends with three teachers and nine students, and Ye Zhiming is one of them.

In fact, the experiences of these two people are a bit similar-Ye Zhiming used to play Pai Gow with millions of people like Zheng Jiachun and Xu Shiguang, and Yang Shoucheng vigorously built a listed company at the age of 29. . Now, as they fell into the dust from the clouds, they were eagerly planning how to make a comeback, and the publicity on their bodies has also been reduced a lot.

"Of course there is no problem." Hearing that Ye Zhiming was about to borrow money, Yang Shoucheng agreed very happily, and then asked curiously, "In this way, you have already been recognized by the richest man."

Of course, Ye Zhiming can't tell the truth to Yang Shoucheng-the most important thing is to hold on to the scene in the business arena. He nodded, and proudly sold his affection, "I mentioned you to Tang Sheng, but he didn't expect that he had heard of you."

"I'm afraid it was an embarrassment that HSBC urged even the wallet to be searched. It was regarded as an impressive joke." Yang Shoucheng, who smiled bitterly, asked with a bright light in his eyes, "I don't know how Tang Sheng heard about it. What about me?"

Seeing that Yang Shoucheng took the initiative to expose his shortcomings, Ye Zhiming was a little embarrassed, hit a haha, and answered vaguely, "Tang Sheng just asked, it was the one who had all his assets confiscated by HSBC two years ago, and even received that Mercedes-Benz is a successful person. Is that Yang Shoucheng in the notice letter of Mobility Tool?"

"It turned out to be so." Yang Shoucheng didn't think he smiled, and said eagerly: "Since Brother Ye has been approved by Tang Sheng, how about helping me to introduce him next time."

Upon hearing this request, Ye Zhiming was so annoyed that he almost shot himself backhanded: "Borrow money, just borrow money. What do you have to say boastful? He succeeded in raising himself here with Yang Shoucheng, but he may not be able to. Entering the circle of the richest man, how do you answer the request of the respondent? If you refuse, you will inevitably be misunderstood by Yang Shoucheng, so I am embarrassed to talk about borrowing money."

"Of course I am willing to help thread the needles, but next time, is it a bit rushed?" Ye Zhiming refused, "I was at Tang Sheng, where I was just registered, so I didn't dare to behave too abruptly." "

"Just as Brother Ye said, I was really anxious." Yang Shoucheng sighed, "However, Brother Ye must also understand that I am trying to get back the control of the original business from HSBC and urgently need to expand my network. , And get to know as many big people as possible."

"But the feud between Tang Sheng and HSBC is a well-known thing, right." Ye Zhiming calmly pointed out ~www.readwn.com~ the script used by the other party for acting. The plot is a bit wrong.

Yang Shoucheng smiled as usual, "It is this relationship of opposites that easily creates opportunities."

Seeing that the other party was so persistent, Ye Zhiming had to deal with it: "Then next time I meet, I will take Brother Yang and wait for the chance to make friends?"

"Then it's settled." Yang Shoucheng smiled and took out a check. "Actually, since Brother Ye said that I wanted to make a turnaround last time, I quickly prepared the check and just waited for Brother Ye. Come and get it."

"Brother Yang's loyalty is convincing. Ye will always remember this favor." Ye Zhiming thanked him, and reached out to receive the check, but he didn't expect Yang Shoucheng's hand to move back gently. Upon receipt, Ye Zhiming couldn't help but froze for a moment, and said to his heart: "Is it possible, what additional conditions does the other party have?"

Sure enough, I only listened to Yang Shoucheng's solemn admonishment: "Brother Ye, if one day, you plan to retire and sell shares in this industry, I hope you will give priority to me."

After listening to Yang Shoucheng's request, Ye Zhiming couldn't help but muttered "unlucky" in his heart. This is because I have sold the offer twice before, and now it is almost the third time. Say hello in advance? Why should I stop the business that can catch up with the richest man?

Although I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, who can let the family be the benefactor-under the eaves, people have to bow their heads! Ye Zhiming can only clean up his mood and pat his chest to make sure, "Of course there is no problem. Actually, if Brother Yang is interested in the entertainment industry, I can find an appropriate time to let you buy shares."

"No hurry." Yang Shoucheng put the check in Ye Zhiming's hand and said leisurely: "The thing I want to do most now is to get back the original property from HSBC."
