1990My Entertainment System

Chapter 165 Liu Xiaoli appears again, now on the pig-slaughtering list!
Next year, my eldest daughter, Xia Xue, will be two years old.
This little one is growing up so fast!
Some friends came to Beijing before the Chinese New Year this year. As usual, we got together at the end of the year to catch up.

See if there are any opportunities for cooperation, and if there are any risks that need to be avoided.

I talked to some friends in the summer and we had a new business idea to do.

The reason why Xia Tian is the center of these people's lives, even though they are all successful people with a good reputation in their own cities, is because only Xia Tian can organize everyone.

Only summer can keep making the cake bigger and lead everyone to prosperity!
Over the years, these summer projects have been involving different friends... and have undergone some balancing and operation to try to benefit as many people as possible.

Let this network of interpersonal relationships grow bigger and bigger, and denser and denser...

What we're going to do this summer is get the "complete shopping mall management system" that we got from the system before!
These days, large supermarkets and shopping malls in China can only be considered to be in their initial stages.

As for electronic payment systems, they're nowhere to be seen.

However, it won't be more than two years before these foreign point-of-sale and management systems are introduced to the market.

Speaking of cash registers, they were invented in the last century!
Now it can mainly be connected to electronic management systems; it has evolved!
In the summer, I plan to gather a group of friends and hire some technicians to conduct research and production based on the information I provide.

Since it's just sitting there anyway, might as well not waste it!
……

February 9th marks the opening of the 45th Berlin International Film Festival.

Actress Josephine Siao (Fong Sai-yuk's mother) won the Best Actress award for her role in Ann Hui's film "Summer Snow".

She is the second Chinese actress, after Zhang Manyu, to win the Berlin Film Festival's Best Actress award.

Li Shaohong, a senior alumna of Yandian University, directed "Rouge," an adaptation of Su Tong's novel, which won a small award at this year's Berlin Film Festival.

After the eighth day of the lunar new year, everyone officially started working again.

As a result, in the summer, he ran into Liu Xiaoli again at a cultural event in a theater.

The two of them were just going to greet each other and exchange a few words.

Unexpectedly, a friend of mine came over in the summer—he's a manager at this theater.

"Tian'er, do you know this Ms. Liu?"

Xia Tian was taken aback: "Ah, I know him. He's my friend, a very talented dancer."

"Ah! I understand! Ms. Liu should have said so earlier!" This bastard had a look on his face that said he understood!

You don't understand anything about bubble teapots!

Look at your lewd expression, what do you understand?

Summer then realized that Liu Xiaoli had come to look for a job!

Rice is expensive in Beijing, and living here is not easy!
Besides, when it comes to dancers, there's a limited pool of talent.

She started looking before the new year, but hadn't found anyone. She was too embarrassed to contact Xia Tian, ​​and even during their recent meeting, she felt their relationship hadn't reached that point, and she was too shy to bring it up.

But Xia Tian, ​​without saying a word, solved the job problem.

Xia Tian didn't explain much; it would be a good thing to help her with her job.

Let's do a good deed every day!
……

That day, Xia Tian was surfing the internet, enduring the unparalleled, slow internet speed.

He was already a fast thinker, and coupled with his accustomed internet speed from his previous life, how could he possibly stand this?!

To even open that extremely rudimentary website, you have to go get a glass of water, and even then, it might not open when you come back!
However, he did discover something new today.

These days, many websites in China are founded by individuals!
That's right, BBS, like this Huiduo.net that I logged into in the summer!
He originally wanted to start his own website, but it was just too much of a hassle; the internet speed was so bad it could give someone a stroke.

Let's forget about it and wait a bit longer!
He did discover quite a few new websites, such as the one he's been promoting today—Ponysoft.

This website was later called "Horse Station" because it was created by Tony Ma, the Flower Vine!
Among the CFido sites on Huiduo.com, the "Horse Site" is perhaps the most luxurious!
This guy installed four telephone lines and eight computers in his house!

Unlike the later internet, Huiduo.net only allowed one user to use a single telephone line. Once a user uploaded content, they had to download it quickly, otherwise others wouldn't be able to connect. This means that Ma Huateng's four telephone lines could simultaneously accept transmission requests from four users.
The initial installation fee for telephones in China is very expensive now, costing seven or eight thousand yuan. Hua Teng's sister works at a telephone company and applied for a half-price discount for him.

However, the installation and usage fees still amounted to nearly 5 yuan. In 95, 5 yuan was no small sum!

Hua Teng later said that he came from an ordinary family!
Ugh~
The following year, Huateng published an article in Computerworld, revealing the phone numbers of the then-only dozen or so BBS sites. This was a huge boost for CFido, letting the industry know that these BBS sites still existed, and quickly attracting hundreds of sites to join.
As for now, there are fewer than ten stations nationwide!
Oh, by the way, Lei Houwang is now the information manager of CFido's "Programmer's Life" section, and also the general manager of Kingsoft.

Summer seems to bring the surging tide of the internet!

How many people can see the vast blue sea that lies beyond the tide? Most people get blanched in the water.
I might need to make some preparations!

The hardware is simple; the key is the talent!
What's the most valuable thing in the 21st century? Talent!

When the time is right, we'll take off! Whoosh!
……

There's another thing this month, which Ah Ying told Xia Tian: the first part of "A Chinese Odyssey" will be released in mainland China.

The result is self-evident.
However, the real disaster came three months later when the second part was released—both films grossed only around 200,000 yuan at the box office in Beijing.
The film companies here don't even dare to do any publicity!
I asked someone for a poster in the summer, wanting to keep it as a souvenir.

When it arrived, we discovered that the movie's name had been changed on the promotional poster; it was now called "A Chinese Odyssey"?!

Summer: Huh?! Are you that afraid of being scolded?
Later, there was even a film company from Hebei Province that only wanted the first part of "A Chinese Odyssey Part One: Pandora's Box"—a move that went something like that!
The film also performed poorly on the island, with box office revenue of only over 2000 million, more than half short of the estimated 5000 million.

Xi'an Film Studio also lost over a million yuan because of this film, which angered the deputy director in charge, who bluntly stated: "A Chinese Odyssey is 'cultural garbage' devoid of any artistic pursuit and does not represent the level of Xi'an Film Studio."

Mainland media also rated it as one of the "Top Ten Worst Movies".

Teacher Liu has also repeatedly criticized the screenwriter and director in the media, saying that they should apologize to the people of the whole country.

Because of the film's poor box office performance, Stephen Chow's company, Star Overseas, went bankrupt after the film's release.
Die before leaving the army!
"A Chinese Odyssey" flopped, and Stephen Chow was so disheartened that he even considered immigrating to the University of Massachusetts!

As a result, an anonymous report of more than 200 pages claimed that he was a member of a triad, which led to his rejection by the University of California, MIT's immigration office.

Some say it's revenge from the Xiang family.
He started his own business because he felt the Xiang family's pay was too low...

When I received this promotional poster in the summer, the words "A Chinese Odyssey" looked very desolate.

He thought about it, made a few phone calls to inquire, and finally learned that the mainland copyright of "A Chinese Odyssey" was owned by Xi'an Film Studio.

He started making contacts and eventually spent 100 million yuan to buy all the copyrights in mainland China, and also did someone a favor—this way Xi'an Film Studio could report back, and Xia Tian got what he wanted.

This film will soon see a turnaround in public opinion, and at least it will sell DVDs!

Summer: If all else fails, we can always develop games, right, San Shi?!
……

On February 23, Xia Tian received two phone calls and learned two things!

One of them was from mainland China, which later became known as the 327 Treasury bond futures incident...

I can't say the specifics, I won't allow it.

In short, it was absolutely stunning!
Students with a bit of insight can learn a lot from this!
The other call was from Hong Kong.

Summer started a newspaper called "Hong Kong Daily News" over there—just a casual move.

The editor-in-chief on the other end called and told me something.

It is said that Forbes magazine collaborated with Hong Kong's Capitalist magazine to publish the first list of mainland China's richest people, which includes 19 mainland tycoons.

There's a summer!
There are also many well-informed people in China, such as Wenhui Daily, which quickly spread the news... with a striking headline: "China's Richest People".

The report stated that although there is still a significant gap compared to other super-rich individuals in the world, the wealth of these 17 people has exceeded 41 billion RMB, which is quite considerable.

However, after this list, Forbes magazine stopped publishing rich lists in mainland China until the Hurun Rich List was launched in 99.

Back to this list!

The Liu brothers of Hope Group ranked first with 6 million RMB.

Mr. Zhang, the owner of Dongfang Group, ranked second with 5 million.

The first person in the century to boast about trading canned goods for airplanes, Lao Mou, has 3 million.

Li Xiaohua, one of the "Four Lis of Beijing," has 2-3 million RMB in assets; Zong, the boss of Wahaha, is fifth with 2 million RMB…

When summer arrived, he found himself ranked eighth!

This is fucking dangerous!
What kind of rich list is this? It's more like a list of people who have been slaughtered! Don't flaunt your wealth!
Luckily, they only knew a small part and calculated a small portion, otherwise they would have been doing the third or second thing!
We need to think of a solution!

Actually, before Forbes, the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong's Fortune magazine had interviewed Lao Mou and put him on the cover of the August issue, calling him "Mou X Zhong, the number one super-rich man in mainland China".

The title "China's richest man" thus became popular.
Two years later, he was unlucky enough to be imprisoned.
In 99, Mou was implicated in a letter of credit fraud case and sentenced to life imprisonment. Two days later, Chu, known as the "King of Chinese Tobacco," was also sentenced to life imprisonment; he was the one who later became involved in the Chu Orange scandal.

The tides of time are swift and the waves are high.

Oh, by the way, behind Xia Tian is the Giant Stone Jade Pillar~
