Chapter 1421 1995!
Three days later. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ
Shaw Yi Fu and Fang Yi Hua personally went to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa to meet Yang Ming.
After much consideration, Shaw Yi Fu agreed to serve as the first president of the Hong Kong Artists Association.
During this period, Yang Ming and Shaw Yi Fu talked a lot.
For Yang Ming, film and television are only a small part of his Empire Group, but for Shaw Yi Fu, film and television are everything to him.
His life, and even his wealth, come from film and television, and he cannot live without film and television.
However, even if film and television are only a part of Yang Ming, Yang Ming has formed a very large entertainment group through Asia Television, Asia Film Company, Asia Record Company, Asia Film City, and even the Second Dimension Company, which not only involves film and television, but also comics and related derivatives.
At this point, Shaw Yi Fu knew that he would not have to think about it in this life.
Of course, Yang Ming knew that the world market was so big that he could not eat it all by himself.
The reason why Run Run Shaw was so successful in history was not just because he exploited those actors, but also because he was good at management.
In addition to Run Run Shaw serving as the first vice president of the Hong Kong Artists Association, Zou Wenhuai of Jiahe Film and Television Company also served as vice president.
Basically, many influential people in the Hong Kong film and television industry have served as the management of the Hong Kong Artists Association. In addition to further determining the future development direction of Hong Kong's film and television industry, it is also to safeguard the safety and interests of Hong Kong artists.
This matter passed just like that.
At the end of December.
At this time, the time came to December 21, 1994.
There are still three days before Christmas Eve.
A guest came to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Zhang Chaoyang, whom Yang Ming had met once in Yanjing.
After Zhang Chaoyang met Yang Ming that time, he went back very excited and immediately quit his job at MIT, and then went to Hong Kong's science park, Wanwan Xinzhu Science Park, and Silicon Valley for a look.
Before Christmas, he came to Hong Kong to meet Sir Yang.
"Mr. Yang, I have been to Hong Kong Science Park, Taiwan's Xinzhu Science Park, and Silicon Valley during this period."
From these three places.
Now these three places are the places with the fastest technological development.
Especially Hong Kong Science Park, he saw things like lithography machines, that is to say, what Silicon Valley has, Hong Kong Science Park has.
However, Zhang Chaoyang is most interested in the Yahoo company in Silicon Valley.
In fact, this Yahoo company was also invested by Yang Ming, and the major shareholder behind it is Empire Group.
After Zhang Chaoyang saw it, he thought it would be good to set up a company similar to Yahoo in China.
So, this time he came to meet Sir Yang about his idea of starting a business.
"Are you talking about Yahoo?"
Historically, in 1994, Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo founded Yahoo in the United States in 1
Now it is also 1994, but Yang Ming had already started to set up Yahoo two years ago. Now Yahoo is also one of the largest Internet sites in the United States and even in the world.
It is normal for Zhang Chaoyang to have such thoughts, because the other party has been in contact with it and feels that there is definitely a huge market in China.
"Mr. Yang, I want to set up a domestic Yahoo company. I have even thought of the name of the company, called Sohu Company."
Sohu?
Yang Ming could not help but almost laughed.
Sure enough, it is still the same as in history.
Zhang Chaoyang is considered to be one of the first elites in the domestic Internet, and it is still the case now.
The other party has begun to develop in this direction.
"Then are you looking for me for financing?"
The other party is a top student who graduated from MIT. In fact, it is not difficult for the other party to raise funds. The most important thing is that it is not the era of the Internet bubble yet. As long as he has an idea, he can still raise funds through some channels.
Of course, if he can get the support of Sir Yang, it will not only be financial assets, but also technology, including support in terms of influence.
"If you can get Mr. Yang's approval, it would be the best."
"It is best for young people to have ideas."
Although there are a number of Internet sites in China now, they are not many. Basically, many of them may be developing in the hardware and software aspects. It is really unknown whether Internet sites will be very valuable in the future.
Zhang Chaoyang wanted to raise funds, and Yang Ming supported him.
However, it is difficult for Yang Ming to say whether Zhang Chaoyang is too smart or something else, because in history, his Sohu was the first to develop, but it was soon surpassed by companies such as Ding Sanshi's Wangyi, Mahuateng's Tangxun, and even Xinlang, and Ma Yun's Alibaba.
Of course, Sohu controlled by Zhang Chaoyang is neither big nor small, and it is precisely because of that that others may not covet his company.
However, it is different for other companies.
Including Xinlang.com, after the company went public, the founder was directly driven away by the shareholders.
When Zhang Chaoyang learned that Sir Yang had raised funds for him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Chaoyang did not stay in Hong Kong for long.
After meeting Yang Ming, he immediately returned to Yanjing.
Zhang Chaoyang left.
Three days later.
The time came to December 24, 1994.
The annual Christmas Eve arrived.
The Repulse Bay Hillside Villa still held a grand Christmas Eve banquet.
In addition to Diana, Sarah, Alina, Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li and other white people, Yang Ming also invited many white talent representatives to attend the banquet.
The Christmas Eve banquet was very lively.
After seeing off Hong Kong Governor Zhong Yijie and his wife, Chief Secretary Wei Yixin and his wife and others.
Yang Ming also gave Mai Lisi and others some gifts as their Christmas gifts.
After they left and went back.
Diana and Sarah are still here.
Today, Yang Ming has no real hostess to the outside world, but for many white people, Diana and Sarah are actually regarded as hostesses.
Especially Diana, who gave Yang Ming two sons, and now the two sons are also well trained.
They believe that the future heirs of the Empire Group should come from these two brothers.
The Christmas Eve banquet and Christmas have passed.
The time came to December 31, 1994.
Saturday.
Today is the last year of the new calendar in 1994, and today is also Saturday. Yang Ming did not return to the headquarters of the Empire Group Building to work.
Today Yang Ming stayed at home to accompany Yang Jirong and his wife.
After dinner.
Yang Ming returned to the study on the third floor.
At this time, it was Li Zi who came in to accompany him.
Seeing Li Zi in front of him, Yang Ming seemed to think of a lot of things again.
"Sir, what are you thinking about?"
"Thinking of something."
Seeing Li Zi, Yang Ming knew that Li Zi's fate had changed, at least it was different from his previous experience.
"You go and rest first."
Yang Ming asked Li Zi to rest first.
After Li Zi left, Yang Ming still sat there.
Recalling what happened this year, and thinking about what will happen next year.
In half an hour, it will be the new year.
