Hong Kong's new giants

Then, Lin Zuhui asked about the progress of the USB flash drive. Zou Kaixuan told him the good news. Xiaomi Technology has made key progress in the USB flash drive. It will be successfully developed within a year and apply for a patent.

"How about sending people to Kingston to study?" Lin Zuhui asked again.

As the major shareholder of Kingston, and the relationship between Lin Zuhui and Kingston's two founders is also very harmonious, Xiaomi Technology can naturally send people to learn other people's advanced technology.

"The effect is not bad. It saved the company a lot of detours in the field of memory, and learned a lot of technology and experience!" Zou Kaixuan said.

Lin Zuhui nodded. The current development of Xiaomi Technology is still good. With its VCD, cordless phones and other products, the annual net profit is as high as 15 billion; plus the decoding chip company in the United States, the annual net profit has already reached 20 billion RMB.Of course, this figure is still growing crazily. Next year, only the decoding chip can make a profit of 2 million U.S. dollars, and the total profit of the entire Xiaomi Technology should exceed 30 billion.

Of course, if the investment is included, Xiaomi Technology is actually still in debt, and a mobile phone project has already invested more than one billion yuan, not to mention LCD, semiconductor, lithium battery, and memory products.

Supporting war with war is the characteristic of Xiaomi Technology. Coupled with Lin Zuhui's blood transfusion, bank loans, and next year's IPO fundraising, the entire 90s can invest tens of billions in research and development funds.

……

Jiangnan Province, Xinke Company.

A manager hurried to the general manager Gao Wangsheng's office and said, "Mr. Gao, it's not good. Xiaomi VCD has announced a price reduction. Currently it only costs 2688 yuan."

Gao Wang stood up vigorously, then sat down slowly, and said in his mouth: "They want to continue to monopolize the market by relying on the price. No way, we can also lower the price!"

The management reminded: "Mr. Gao, there is a very short supply of movement and decoding chips, and the manufacturers who master these two parts are sitting on the ground and raising prices. Not only are we out of stock, but we have to buy them at a high price."

Gao Wangsheng was speechless for a moment, VCD player is not a high-tech product, a CD movement plus a decoder, and then fixed on the shell, almost constitutes a vcd (capacitors, resistors, and shells are all things with no technological content) .

"Awesome! Xiaomi Technology is amazing. They not only master the production of decoding chips, but also signed a large number of movement orders with Philips in the Netherlands. Now we want to order from Philips, but they can't do it if they want to do our business, because they have to prioritize Guaranteed Xiaomi Technology's order. Great, great..."

The management nodded and said: "The key is that Xiaomi Technology dares to sign an order for 800 million pieces of movement. Is it really not afraid that it will not be sold if it is in hand!"

Gao Wangsheng shook his head. He couldn't understand why Xiaomi Technology dared to sign such a large order.You know, Xiaomi Technology spent a full year in order to let the market know about the VCD product.

"It's useless to say these things now. You send someone to contact the Japanese manufacturer, and you must give us a certain movement order. Then go to the decoding chip manufacturer in the United States, and you must also get the order. We can't be the boss, at least I also want to be the second child, VCD player 2688 still has a good profit margin, so I have to hurry up to make money, as the competition will increase in the future, it will be even more difficult to make money."

Gao Wangsheng thinks very clearly that as more and more copycat factories join in, the profits of VCD players will become lower and lower, and now they can make money quickly.

The land of China.

Dozens of VCD manufacturers have contacted several overseas companies to seek orders for movement and decoding chips, which made several major manufacturers happy for a while.

Philips couldn't help regretting that he took a private jet, a red carpet, and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands to meet Zou Kaixuan and his party, because they missed the opportunity to make a lot of money.

When signing the order for 300 million cores, Philips smiled. Although the price is cheap, it is a new profit after all; Hehe, small profits but quick turnover, the risk belongs to Xiaomi Technology.

But now, they can't laugh anymore. The data from Huaxia shows that VCD players are growing explosively. The movements produced by Sony in Japan can be 50% more expensive than those sold by Philips, and the supply is in short supply.

Philips' current production capacity can only supply Xiaomi Technology's orders. As for additional production lines, the company's executives are a little conservative. They are worried that Huaxia's VCD will suddenly be saturated, so they only dare to expand the production line a little.

Chapter 571 [Who doesn't want to be a Cao thief]

Late at night, Hilltop Villa.

On the sofa, Lin Zuhui was admiring Miss He's ketone body, she was perfectly presented in front of Lin Zuhui without a single strand of hair.

I saw Miss He supporting her head with her hands, like a noble lady in a European court, letting Lin Zuhui look at her.

"Does it look good? Is it as good-looking as Jiaxin?" Ms. He was very satisfied with Lin Zuhui's eyes, because she felt that she was still attractive.I couldn't help complaining in my heart, men, they all eat from the bowl and look at the pot.But for some reason, this man's behavior made her feel disgusted.

Lin Zuhui put his hand on the altitude, and said seriously while holding the hand: "I haven't competed together, who knows!"

Miss He gave Lin Zuhui a bite, and said angrily, "Don't hurt me again!"

Lin Zuhui smiled and did not continue this topic.From Ms. He's point of view, it was obvious that Lin Zuhui was seducing her to cause the current situation. Of course, it was true.

The two of them are walking a tightrope right now, and they must not let it out, so every time they meet, they don't have dinner together, but after dinner, taking advantage of the darkness, they make an appointment to this villa.And there are no servants in the entire villa, only Lin Zuhui's bodyguards know about the two of them.

If the news is leaked, Lin Zuhui may be condemned by the public, which will cast a shadow over his positive and glorious image.As for Ms. He, I'm afraid she will also be snubbed by He Sheng, and she will also be scolded by the media.

This tightrope-walking date, of course, also made Lin Zuhui feel good!

"Hmm..." Miss He couldn't help shouting.

Immediately, Ms. He said, "Ah Hui, I'm so...in pain!"

Lin Zuhui would misunderstand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when you will ask for forgiveness!"

Ms. He said angrily, "That's not what I meant!" After speaking, she knocked off Lin Zuhui's hand.

Chick, and a little temper, I like it!Lin Zuhui smiled indifferently and went into battle again.

"Then tell me!" The tone was calm and calm.

Miss He felt at ease for no reason. She dragged her limp body with all her strength, then pulled Lin Zuhui to sit on the sofa, and then sat down facing each other.Then she directly installed the plug, and after a 'hum', the two of them stuck together.

Lin Zuhui is very calm, he has superpowers, even if he doesn't move, he can still maintain his vitality.The reason for not moving is that Miss He has something to say, so let her speak slowly.

On the contrary, Ms. He felt itchy, couldn't help moving slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that if people find out about our relationship, I'll be miserable! So I told my father that he has a lover outside, I hope Daddy can agree that I really separate from him, but Daddy disagrees, saying that a man will change his mind... I am so sad, but I dare not resist Daddy, because if I go against Daddy's will, then it will hurt My mother will affect the impression of our room in Daddy's mind... Anyway, do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Zuhui understood this a long time ago. He said, "Suppose you separated from him, what do you want to do? Or what kind of relationship do you plan to maintain with me?"

Ms. He said angrily: "Smelly man, I don't have to be your lover, I just don't want to feel guilty and be happy with you! Even if I become single again, I will only maintain a relationship with you secretly."

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "In this case, the key to the problem is the interests of your second wife. You have just become the director of your father's company, and it is indeed not appropriate to fight against your father! You will get some of your father's money. So many people, tsk tsk!"

Seeing Lin Zuhui's look of contempt for their family, Ms. He was immediately annoyed, and she jumped up and down a few times, trying to arouse Lin Zuhui's anger.

"You are amazing, a lover has a net worth of billions!"

Lin Zuhui supported Ms. He, and said with enjoyment: "How much cash can you come up with?"

Ms. He was instantly attracted by the topic, she calmed down, and said honestly, "We can get around 5000 million!"

"So little? Isn't it 10 billion dowry?"

"Who did you hear? How could there be 10 billion? My mother doesn't have that much cash! She just gave me some shares and property, and the total value is only more than 2 million!"

Lin Zuhui was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that the interview with He Sheng was in the 21st century. For the sake of face, He Sheng calculated it based on the value at that time, which made sense.

After all, how could he be willing to give 1991 billion to one of his daughters in 10? He only had a few dollars, probably more than 100 billion.

"That's it, it's really a little less! I'll lend you 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, and you make up 1 million, and then go to buy US dollars and yen foreign exchange, and prepare to start tomorrow. This matter is kept secret, so that no one will suspect my identity, The 5000 million is lent to you, and you will repay it if you have the opportunity in the future. Also, if there is any way to get rich in the future, I will count you in."

"It's almost there!"

Lin Zuhui started to attack, and immediately beat Miss He into a coquettish voice.

"Don't be in a hurry to fight head-on with your father, think about it in the long run, and wait until two or three years later!"

"I know... ah"

Lin Zuhui quite enjoys the status of Cao thief, and Ms. He's previous life seems to have been unilaterally announced by the millennium, and this life was similar in 1998.

……

Beginning in mid-June, DreamWorks began to promote "The Matrix", claiming that the cost was 6 million US dollars, and it instantly attracted countless attention.

In the past two years, DreamWorks has only shot three films, namely "Resident Evil", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and "The Matrix", and the cost of each film is more expensive.

Everyone was not optimistic at first, but in the end everyone felt that DreamWorks' "Resident Evil" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" were really good, and they brought something brand new to Xiangjiang Films - Hong Kong Hollywood.Yes, it is Hong Kong Hollywood. Everyone thinks that it has the level of Hollywood, but it is limited by the market.

Even so, "Resident Evil" has now claimed to have recovered its cost. As the world's first zombie film, although it was not released in Hollywood, the DVD sales were very good, and it received a share of 500 million US dollars.

If it can be tied, "Resident Evil" is already very good, and the follow-up income has become less, but the important thing is that there will always be, especially after the advent of the Internet age.

The movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" has already been confirmed to be released in the mainland, and there is still hope that it will be released in Hollywood. After all, it was filmed in the United States, and the quality is relatively good.

Of course, the one with the greatest hopes is of course "The Matrix", which was also filmed in the United States.Going overseas to shoot is no longer Jack's monopoly.

"The Matrix" is also placed the greatest hope by Lin Zuhui. This movie not only has many sci-fi elements-matrix, virtual and reality, etc., but also is very philosophical; The life of fleeing for one's life, but preferring to live in the matrix, does this symbolize the future Internet "Internet addiction teenagers" who are addicted to the Internet.

The film that was originally shot in 1999 was produced by Xiangjiang in 1995. I have to say that there is another layer of meaning in it - Lin Zuhui is committed to building Xiangjiang into an "information technology port", and "The Matrix" will undoubtedly Add some Xiangjiang's reputation in this regard.

Lin Zuhui actually didn't care about the box office, and didn't even ask about the income.

But there are still many colleagues who are very concerned about the new movie of DreamWorks, especially Golden Harvest.

Especially at the beginning of the year, the box office of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was as high as 5000 million in Xiangjiang, almost beating Jack's "Red Fan District" (5700 million Hong Kong dollars), and Zou Wenhuai was shocked.After all, "Red Fan District" is going to enter Hollywood, so why not be the top box office in Xiangjiang.

In Jiahe's office.

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Jack Cheng and others were discussing DreamWorks' "The Matrix" again.

And Jack Cheng's "Thunderbolt" was drawn in August, which was about to meet "The Matrix", and they felt strong pressure.

Zou Wenhuai said: "With a shooting cost of 2000 million US dollars, they are not making a movie, but spending money! Knowing that ATV Group has money, but they don't want to invest so much. Besides, even if they shoot a Hollywood sci-fi movie , what can they change Xiangjiang Films?"

He Guanchang nodded, and said, "That's right, it can't change anything! With such a large investment, whoever Xiangjiang Film Company can afford to shoot can't change the future of Xiangjiang's films at all. Only Jack's movies are worthy of such a large investment in order to make money."

Envious and jealous, although DreamWorks does not have a movie star with Hollywood power like Jack Cheng, it is willing to spend money.

Jack Cheng thought for a while, and said: "At least when we mention our Xiangjiang movies overseas, we have a few more that we can get. It's always a good thing! Hollywood always has a specific demand for Xiangjiang movies (Chinese Kungfu). Introduce Xiangjiang movies and movie stars. If DreamWorks can really shoot Hollywood-style sci-fi blockbusters, maybe it can also conquer Hollywood.”

What he said is correct, the only people in Hollywood who are interested in Xiangjiang are kung fu movies and kung fu stars, and they are all specific needs.As for the others, I haven't really looked at them.

He Guanchang said: "When the group of white people saw that it was a sci-fi film made by us Xiangjiang people, their first impression was that they looked down on it. This impression has been engraved in their bones."

There is nothing wrong with this statement, otherwise "Resident Evil" is logically qualified to land in North American cinemas.Moreover, DVD sales are so good, which shows that there is a certain market in North America.

Jack Cheng said: "If it is released in Asia or other overseas countries and achieves good results, Hollywood will finally be able to face up to Hong Kong's films. But the premise is that DreamWorks can really shoot two big-budget films a year. Movie?"

For a while, everyone thought about it.

When DreamWorks was at its peak, Golden Harvest could only honestly be ranked second. At that time, DreamWorks had Chow Run Wah, Zhou Xingchi, and Li Lianjie, and their output was high. Each of them was a big hit at the box office.

But now, although DreamWorks lives up to the word "DreamWorks", it is obvious that the number cannot keep up, and it is also a business of "making money on a flat basis".

Chapter 572 [I like it, no one can take it away]

Monday, May 6.

Lin Zuhui came to Japan for inspection. He has a lot of investments in Japan, but he has no real estate projects.

The reason is simple, even after the bubble crisis, Japan's real estate industry is still not suitable for bottom-hunting. After 17 years of continuous downward trend, there is no chance until the '08 Lehman'.

At present, the office buildings in Tokyo are still ranked second in the world, second only to Xiangjiang; after the financial crisis in the previous life, the office buildings in Tokyo plummeted by 80%. Li Chaoren saved him, he was afraid he would die.

Lin Zuhui first visited Sony, and Sony's president and director Nobuyuki Idei received him personally.After all, he is the richest man in the world, so he should be received by the president when he came to Sony for inspection.

As soon as the two parties met, they behaved very friendly, especially Nobuyuki Idei bent down and bowed, showing full courtesy; as for Lin Zuhui, naturally he would not follow the courtesy, but he behaved elegantly and easy-going, without losing his grace and etiquette .

"Mr. Lin, let me accompany you to visit our working environment!"

"I'm sorry to leave the president!"

Then the group visited the office building of Sony's headquarters. Lin Zuhui also brought a lot of people with him during this inspection. New Times Group and Wanhui Media, both of which were accompanied by senior executives.

Lin Zuhui's impression from Sony's headquarters is that there is a strong sense of hierarchy, the staff work hard, are highly efficient, and the management system is good. Overall, it is a well-managed company.

Of course, there is no problem with the management of Lin Zuhui's company, but it is more humane.

In Japan, many companies will reveal such a meaning to new employees: after joining this company, you will work hard for the company for the rest of your life; almost all of these phenomena are expressed in different ways, but the meaning is this mean.

In the company under Lin Zuhui, he will not emphasize these, but use some Confucianism to influence his employees; the result is similar, but the method is completely different; while in the company under Lin Zuhui, the turnover rate should be the lowest in Hong Kong that level.Western system management company, Huaxia Confucianism management staff, it is precisely because of this that Lin Zuhui's enterprise is so successful.Otherwise, relying on some memories alone, the company will not be able to develop today.

After the visit, everyone came to the large conference room, where Lin Zuhui and Idei Nobuyuki sat side by side on chairs.

Nobuyuki Idei first said: "Thanks to New Era Group for trusting Sony Group and investing in our company's stock!"

New Era Group bought Sony's stock by publicly announcing its holding, and did not use a decentralized or offshore method.And Nobuyuki Idei pointed out this topic first, which also meant to test.

Lin Zuhui said frankly: "I am very optimistic about Sony's future development, especially the prospect of Sony in the cultural game industry, so we will hold 3-4% of Sony's equity and make long-term investment projects."

Before the Hanshin earthquake, Sony's market value was about 220 billion US dollars, but now it has fallen below 200 billion US dollars; because the Nikkei index has fallen from 19500 points to around 14500 points.

Hearing Lin Zuhui's words, Sony immediately felt relieved. Of course, they were not afraid that Lin Zuhui wanted to acquire Sony. After all, it was almost impossible, but they were worried that Lin Zuhui would be a speculator and affect Sony's stock price.If it is a long-term investment, then it is completely acceptable.

Nobuyuki Idei nodded, and said: "We very much welcome New Era Group's investment. If there is an opportunity, the two parties can strengthen the cooperative relationship."

Sony’s management has discussed it in advance and believes that New Times Group’s investment in Sony shares is a good thing and can boost the confidence of shareholders. After all, Lin Zuhui is a world-class stock god; of course, even if New Times Group holds 3-4% of Sony shares, The board seat will not be given to Lin Zuhui either.

Lin Zuhui took the opportunity to propose: "We in Hong Kong are building a 'Cyberport'... I wonder if Sony can consider setting up a branch or R&D center in Hong Kong Cyberport?"

He is the founder of Cyberport, so he has always spared no effort to use his contacts to attract customers for Cyberport; of course, it must be a high-tech company, which is the first condition.

Nobuyuki Idei thought for a while, and said: "Xiangjiang is a free trade port where Chinese and Western cultures meet. I am very optimistic about the development of Cyberport. Sony will seriously consider this issue. I personally think that Sony should establish an organization in Cyberport."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Thank you for your company's support!"

Then, Nobuyuki Idei said: "This time "Resident Evil" is installed on the Sony PS game console, and has achieved good results and evaluations. I hope we can have more such cooperation in the future."

Since the beginning of June, the ninth city, a subsidiary of Wanhui Media, has developed the "Resident Evil 1" game, which was officially launched on Sony PS game console and Sega Saturn (SS) dual platforms. did extremely well in terms of sales and reviews.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Of course, the Ninth City has become a partner of Sony's game department, and our Ninth City is also committed to becoming a large game software provider."

No one doubted Lin Zuhui's words, after all, he had proved it with facts.
