Chapter 634: The Big Project of the Wang Family

This is today's update, and yesterday's recurring chapter is also 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 capital flow here.

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

The 11th G7 summit to be held in Bonn, West Germany on May 2 has 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 playing Tai Chi, and their tone is not usually tight.

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

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 wanted to say to the capital circle of Baodao was that although Funan had not completely settled down and was not generally backward, it still had investment value.

As Tang Huan expected, Baodao's response was flat. He didn't care about it, so let's talk about it when the United States officially introduces policies and everyone's necks are pinched. Anyway, he has blown the wind, and it can be regarded as a foreshadowing. I believe it will be more or less effective. Effect.

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

"Have I revealed what I mean?" Tang Huan asked casually.

"I mentioned something, but it's just a noncommittal attitude." Jian Mingren spread his hands and said with a smile: "You should go to the interview in person."

...

Tang Huan has cooperated with the Wang family a lot, except that Wang Xuehong, Wang Xueling, and Jian Mingren have directly worked for his IT industry. Formosa Plastics has also dabbled in its own business, such as printed circuit boards, CD and other cooperation projects.

When Tang Huan saw Wang Yongqing this time,

What I want to talk about is not the cooperation in the IT field, but the traditional field of Formosa Plastics?—the chemical industry.

He asked straight to the point: "I heard that Formosa Plastics intends to establish the first private oil refinery in Taiwan, but the application has not been approved?"

"Mr. Tang's news on Treasure Island is really well-informed." Wang Yongqing laughed pointedly.

In 1973, after the first oil crisis broke out. Formosa Plastics' supply of raw materials has also been affected.

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

This plant construction plan is firstly a core light oil cracking plant, and then several petrochemical-related industrial facilities will be built around it.

Tang Huan naturally did homework on data collection in advance, and then the other party said: "I also know some news that is widely circulated, 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 has had a huge impact on the island. People have the most direct and clear understanding of the concept of environmental protection. However, the Formosa Plastics factory plan has all aspects 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. Then he said: "I have to say that 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, "A lot of times, making a comparison can best explain the problem."

"If the Formosa Plastics plant plan is approved, the first thing to consider is the site selection. A project with such a huge environmental pressure may not be able to settle on this island. It can only be reclaimed land, and the cost it consumes is hard to say."

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

"In addition, since the factory is built in an outlying island area, the corrosion of seawater must be considered for pipelines and other facilities, so it is difficult to explain the cost."

"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 risk at the political level."

"You make sense." Tang Huan nodded in agreement, "So, I hope you can go to Funan to inspect it yourself. After all, there are some situations that can only be felt but cannot be expressed 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 it is delayed for a long time, the cooked duck will fly."

Wang Yongqing was amused by Tang Huan's words and burst out laughing, "Mr. Tang is really a wonderful person. When you say that, I don't want to be lazy."

Tang Huan thought for a while, and suggested: "You can arrange someone you trust to go to Funan to make a first stop, 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 settled with one word. It doesn't matter if Wang Yongqing's attitude is ambiguous. He will conduct the second round of public relations after he has visited Funan. No matter how much is said now, it is also a castle in the air, lacking the actual driving force of interests.

Tang Huan made a few phone calls in the study to make corresponding arrangements, then walked back to the living room and saw Lu Xiuling sitting on the sofa looking at resumes one by one.

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

Lu Xiuling graduated from Huagang Art School. He started to learn piano since he was a child. In 1979, he stood out with his pipa performance in TTV's "Five Lantern Awards" and won the champion of the solo competition. He entered the show business circle and joined Qiong Yao's Superstar Film Company, becoming a basic actor.

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

The two are currently performing very well. It's better to give full play to one's own strengths and find another way to try in the orchestra. Get organized.

What kind of commercial value can be achieved, Tang Huan has no idea, but he can be sure of one thing, that is, in the rapidly developing video games, the importance of music is becoming more and more obvious, and the demand it generates is enough to guarantee This should belong to a small group of people, and it survives relatively well.

"Have you picked the right candidate?" Tang Huan sat across from him and picked up the newspaper. While browsing, ask casually.

"Not so fast. Erhu, pipa, dulcimer, guzheng, flute, players who need to cooperate 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.

chatting. The housekeeper came to report, "Gu Long came to pay a visit."

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, wondering why this hero is here?

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

I have taken care of the other party's business, such as buying the video game license of his martial arts at a high price at the beginning, and the licensing fee paid by DreamWorks for the adaptation of the TV series "Lu Xiaofeng: Phoenix Dance in Nine Heavens" recently.

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

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 You know, even the marriage hit the rocks. And he also resumed the life style of spending time, drinking, and indulging in sex and sex.

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 could spend as much as he had, and it was useless to give more.

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

Tang Huan made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time 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 made the contrast between the image in front of him and the impression in his mind very obvious. Not only did he not look good, but his original "big-headed, fat" body shape was also severely reduced.

"You have to pay attention to maintenance." After the butler put down the tea and left, Tang Huan reminded lightly.

"I've always been happy without drinking, and I don't care about maintenance," Gu Long shook his head with a smile.

He also seemed to feel that he and Tang Huan were alienated due to factors such as time, space, and social status, so he quickly turned to the topic, "DreamWorks will not only film the TV series "Lu Xiaofeng: Phoenix Dance for Nine Heavens", but also "Peerless Twins" "Pride", "The End of the World" and other plans, 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's going on recently, but I always suddenly feel inexplicably emotional. Thinking back carefully, Mr. Tang took good care of my business. At that time, I saw so many zeros, so I was so excited, but now Nothing was left."

Hearing what the other party said, Tang Huan couldn't help rubbing his nose, and said in disbelief: "Who made you spend so 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 favor may come in handy at that time."

After saying this, Gu Long, who didn't even touch the teacup, got up to leave without waiting for Tang Huan to speak.

Tang Huan, who had regained his composure, quickly followed out, only to see that Gu Long had already reached the big iron gate. The setting sun made the back of this hero look a bit bleak.

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

...

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 it would be more accurate to say on the set.

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, he persuaded him to switch from the film industry to the TV industry and shoot TV dramas.

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.

It's a pity that Qiong Yao seems a little tired and insists on resting for a while.

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

People are always realistic, Tang Huan guessed that Qiong Yao must be unsure of the market and afraid of losing money, so she refused to leave the mountain.

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.

At present, the 30-episode TV series "Several Sunsets" that she and director Liu Lili are filming is the first TV series work, and DreamWorks has already negotiated with CTV of Baodao, and it will be the first buyer.

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

In the current entertainment industry, some people are desperately trying to squeeze into the film industry, while some people do the opposite and devote themselves to TV dramas with all their strength. This is the case for Liu Xuehua who plays the heroine. She no longer makes movies.

Looking at this lineup, Tang Huan thought that he was right to let go of the production, and everything met expectations. (To be continued.)
