Rebirth of the Tech Madman

The official representatives include South Korean Prime Minister Chen Yijong, Seoul City Mayor Lian Pu-hyun, and South Korean Olympic Committee and Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee Chairman Roh Tae-woo, who is the next South Korean president in the original time and space; as for the chaebol representatives, of course The group headed by Samsung Lee Jianxi. △,

Tang Huan smiled and shook hands with each other one by one, and then, accompanied by Li Jianxi, boarded the car from Gimpo International Airport to the Shilla Hotel in the center of Seoul City.

After arriving at the destination, Tang Huan deliberately stopped to look at the surrounding scenery and said with a smile: "I have long admired the famous monuments of Seoul."

"As long as you have time, I will accompany you for a tour." Li Jianxi held it boldly.

"We have arranged a visit to Seoul in the next itinerary, which will definitely make the richest man have fun." Lian Pu-hyun added eagerly.

"Forbes" magazine just announced a new version of the richest Americans list. Although Tang Huan made some asset adjustments in advance, he still ranked as the richest man for the third time with a figure of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.

Gordon Getty, the second-ranked oil tycoon, has a net worth of $4.1 billion; John Kruger, who made a fortune from the sale of Metropolitan Media’s cable network, is close behind.

Warren Buffett, one of Tang Huan's investment partners, ranks 23rd with a personal wealth of US$665 million.

On the rich list, the second and third place are tied together, and they are not the opponents of the first place. Such a huge gap inevitably makes people breathtaking.

In fact, this also reflects the importance of microcomputers to major economies in the world at this stage.

The three mainstream hardware platforms of Fangyuan PC, Fangyuan Workstation, and Fangyuan Server are all in full bloom. Plus the Fangyuan supercomputer, which has planted a banner at the pinnacle of the industry. Has promoted the market value of Fangyuan Computer Company to exceed 60 billion US dollars. It can almost be compared with ibm.

Another major component in Tang Huan’s family-ea, also a publicly listed company, originally had a significant market value after the collapse of the North American home video game console market, but the dancing blanket triggered the boom in the second-generation Cassidy game consoles, and Los Angeles. The successful marketing during the Olympic Games made it shine again. The stock price went up, and Tang Huan wanted it to stop listening. It was really a happy and annoying thing.

But then again. Even if you sell games, you can accumulate billions of wealth, but it may not be comparable to the identity bonus that computers can bring. The attitude of South Korean politicians like Lim Pu-hyun shows that the rich are also inferior.

"I hope it won't cause trouble for you." Tang Huan said in a polite way.

"We should do our best to the friendship of the landlord." Lu Taiyu took the words, "Mr. Tang's exemplary role in sponsoring the Seoul Olympics is of great significance to our next step of work."

Tang Huan laughed, "Of course I am confident that South Korea will successfully host the Seoul Olympics."

"After Mr. Tang rests, the president will host a banquet at the Blue House." Chen Yizhong made a gesture of invitation and let Tang Huan into the Shilla Hotel.

The property here belongs to the Samsung Group. It was originally the "Guesthouse" where former President Park Zhengxi hosted important domestic and foreign officials. However, after the guesthouse in the Blue House was completed in 1979, it was no longer used. So Lee Bingzhe, chairman of the Samsung Group, bought the entire hilltop including the Guest House and founded the Shilla Hotel in front of him.

Tang Huan was arranged to stay here, and it was considered that Li Jianxi was carrying private goods. From then on, the Shilla Hotel has the qualifications to entertain the richest man.

After the political and business celebrities who came to greet them all left, the assistant whispered a report: "The suite has been checked and there is no problem."

South Korea is hosting the Olympics with great fanfare, expanding its influence, and enhancing its international status. Of course, the northern powers are very afraid. Although Tang Huan sponsored the Seoul Olympics for commercial marketing purposes, it is indeed a kind of boosting momentum. Now, even with the guarantee of South Korea, it is better to be more careful.

Tang Huan nodded slightly, first washed his face, and then read the collected information from South Korea, so as to make some preparations for the next trip.

...

The meeting with South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan is just a cutscene in the question. The content of the conversation is inevitably broad and general, and the specific matters need to be implemented below.

Tang Huan seized the time first, and the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee headed by Lu Taeyu confirmed the top global Olympic sponsors. Fangyuan Computer's further globalization is inseparable from such a world-class publicity platform.

Facts have proved that the Los Angeles Olympic Games are a success, and the sponsors must be the credit for the hosting process.

The funding for the Seoul Olympics is naturally provided by South Korea, and there is no need for corporate ideas. However, the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee also noticed the role of sponsors in the Los Angeles Olympics, such as the Olympic Press Center and tickets sponsored by Fangyuan Computer. The system and other application solutions are very good, so I naturally want to introduce them.

Hearing Lu Taiyu mentioned this point, Tang Huan fully agreed and was willing to help. The two sides will cooperate for four years. There is nothing that cannot be discussed.

With this friendly atmosphere, Tang Huan's next trip will be easier. Although Quan Doo-hwan's cronies such as Roh Tae-woo and Lim Pu-hyun cannot accompany them all the time, they will never attend the dinner arranged by Lee Jian-xi.

The semiconductor department of Samsung Electronics has leaps and bounds in product research and development to target the next-generation 1mb dynamic random access memory, which made Tang Huan wonder where the other party's confidence comes from.

Therefore, a key point of this investigation is to determine whether Samsung Electronics, which started late, is really capable of digesting the technology bought from Zheru.

In Tang Huan's view, since Samsung has the financial resources and is willing to invest the financial resources to manufacture 1mb dynamic random access memory to catch up with its Japanese counterparts, he raised his hands in favor. After all, one more catfish can increase market vitality, but it enters its own supply chain. Within the system, one cannot hold back.

After Tang Huan visited Samsung and saw the Korean-style chaebols up close, it became clear.

After Park Zhengxi came to power in the 1960s. In order to develop Korean industry. Vigorously support and use chaebols. For example, providing low-interest loans and subsidies to chaebols, and providing government guarantees for chaebols, enables Korean chaebols to obtain large amounts of foreign loans.

This kind of mutual assistance between the Korean government and the chaebol actually makes the chaebol become the actual implementer of the blueprint for economic revitalization of the Korean government.

With such a way of condensing resources, Li Jianxi is naturally confident.

However, to a large extent South Korea is following Japan. At this stage, its vision and capabilities will only focus on dynamic random access memory, including microprocessors, digital signal processors, and other more high-end semiconductor fields. Can't get involved yet.

Seeing Tang Huan affirmed the strength of Samsung Electronics, Li Jianxi was very happy, and as agreed, started a tour itinerary including the historical sites of Seoul such as Changdeok Palace and Bongeun Temple.

During this period, their topics inevitably shifted to other areas.

Although it is the top of the "Four Little Dragons in Asia", South Korea's foreign investment environment can only be said to be general. Foreign capital inflows are mainly in the form of borrowing and assistance. In addition, the country's chaebol monopoly has formed, and there is really no need for outsiders to come here to find crimes.

At present, South Korea is still in the industrialization stage. Capital-intensive industries such as chemicals, electronics, steel, machinery, shipbuilding, and automobiles have received key support. A number of large-scale backbone enterprises including Pohang Iron and Steel, Hyundai Heavy Industries, and Hyundai Motor have been established and developed. As a result, in the industrial structure of South Korea's economy, heavy industry surpassed light industry and began to occupy a dominant position.

This complete situation of the traditional industry foundation is suitable for various IT application solutions based on the Fangyuan computer that supports Korean.

Tang Huan’s products enter South Korea, mainly relying on cooperation with local parties, but the higher-level R&D and service links are still firmly in their hands. After all, soft power cannot be caught up overnight.

While Samsung Electronics has extended its antennae into the high-tech field of semiconductors, it has not forgotten that it has already covered the home appliance industry, which has included the strengths of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions and other products, and has also targeted vhs video recorders.

Seeing the other hand stretched so long, Tang Huan, who had done his homework on South Korea’s national conditions in the past two days, couldn’t help being funny. The middle-class customers targeted by video recorders have huge diversified demand for film sources. If it is still in the high-end field, it is better to maintain the existing cooperation model and avoid the risks brought by video tape format competition to the greatest extent."

Originally, there were three large TV stations in South Korea, namely, the state-run Korea Broadcasting Corporation-kbs, the privately-run Culture Broadcasting Corporation-and the Toyo Broadcasting Corporation-funded by the Samsung Group.

Li Jianxi went to the United States to study and study. After obtaining an MBA from George Washington University in 1966, he entered the industry and worked in this industry. His wife is the eldest daughter of the chairman Hong Jinji.

No matter how strict the policy is, as a private TV station, it will naturally not lack vitality.

But after South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan came to power, South Korea's radio and television media ecology also changed dramatically. It was closed on November 30, 1980, and its TV and radio channels were merged into kbs.

As a result, the Korean TV industry, which is already serving politics, will find it harder to produce enough content that meets the tastes of the middle class to drive them to consume by home video recorders.

As for the film industry, it is also tightly controlled. Since the reign of Park Jung Hee, a policy to curb the development of the film industry has been gradually implemented.

Its core content includes two main aspects: the quota system for foreign film imports and the corporateization of domestic film production. That is, only film producers with considerable material and human resources can register a film company. If they cannot produce 15 films within one year For more than one works, the registration will be cancelled.

This set of management methods has existed for more than 20 years, and the commercial depression of the Korean film industry can be imagined.

To put it simply, the Korean Wave, which will be mainly paid by the Chinese market in time and space, has not yet appeared. As the "Four Little Dragons of Asia", South Korea is very difficult to squeeze out oil and water in the cultural industry, especially because this cause comes from policy rather than the market. Therefore, it is no wonder that Tang Huan disagrees.

"The victory of the vhs format has been decided, and Sony has conceded from the side. What are the risks?" Li Jianxi shook his head slightly when he noticed Tang Huan's doubts, and explained in detail: "The holding of the Seoul Olympics will naturally bring infinite openness. Space, including the most stringent "Film Law" will also be revised."

Hearing what the other party said, Tang Huan realized that he still did not fully realize the compelling effect of hosting the Olympic Games and the energy of the South Korean chaebol in his country.

It is true that the South Korean chaebol controlled the Korean film industry for the real purpose of the video recorder business, not the film itself. This kind of turning the cart before the horse is undoubtedly a kind of harm from a long-term perspective, but is it necessary for outsiders to worry about it?

"Since Samsung is fully prepared, the vhs alliance is naturally happy to see the expansion of the territory." Tang Huan finally nodded in agreement, "However, in the short term, the Korean film and television production industry itself cannot provide a sufficient amount of attractive program content to support the home video recorder business. It’s an indisputable fact. Instead of cheap Japanese, how about taking care of my business?"

"You also know that since 1980, the anti-American sentiment among the Korean people has been on the rise. To what extent your Hollywood movies can be welcomed, I am not good to pack the votes." Lee Jianxi replied musingly, "After all, South Korea's huge industrial system is currently The objectively generated hard demand for it solutions makes your high-tech products irreplaceable, but mass entertainment consumption is different, and customers can completely decide on their own likes and dislikes."

"Don't forget, I also invested in the film and television industry in Xiangjiang." Tang Huan reminded the other party.

"I remember." Li Jianxi suddenly realized and nodded again and again. Tang Huan's aura of the richest man in the United States is indeed easy to overlook his industry in Xiangjiang.

"Heung River has just completed a special effects adventure movie "The Phantom of the Tomb: The Wrath of the Dragon Emperor", which is currently being screened globally. Why not join the theaters in South Korea. This is also an open step for hosting the Olympics and embracing the world. Well." Tang Huan unceremoniously put forward his request~www.NovelMTL.com~ I am of course willing to advance this matter. "Li Jianxi first made a clear statement, and then added: "However, in order to make progress more smoothly, it is better to lobby the president's cronies at the banquet tonight." "

Tang Huan took a look at the look on Li Jianxi’s face, and muttered in his heart, "The so-called lobbying, shouldn’t I give gifts? Then it’s worth calculating whether it’s worth it, and how to avoid the jealous Hollywood’s possible offer_bribery_bribery Allegations."

Thinking of this, Tang Huan didn’t take up the words, and instead offered a favourable but not expensive exchange. “The film and television production in Xiangjiang has a high degree of commercialization, and the standard is also first-class, not inferior to Japan. If we use Based on this, if a cooperation mechanism is established, I believe that Samsung’s losses in the Toyo Broadcasting Corporation can be made up in another form."

"This is indeed a very attractive proposal." Li Jianxi was shocked when he heard it, and he thought about it seriously.

Tang Huan smiled smugly, saying that no matter whether South Korea will create the cultural output of Hallyu in the future, it must first endure the impact of the Hanyu that he has promoted. (To be continued.) u
