The richest man

Chapter 159 Water Margin sweeps Hong Kong

At 4:14 am on April 9th, the sky was clear.

In Tai Po, Sai Kung District, New Territories, Hong Kong, MOS Technology Chip Company held a simple completion ceremony.

It is a miracle that a chip factory can be established in three to four months.

Of course, Zhang Jun's full support regardless of cost is also indispensable!

In addition, in this era, the various requirements for chip factories are relatively low, and the construction difficulty is small, otherwise it would not be completed so soon.

The annual production capacity of this chip factory can reach 2000 million chips.

This scale is relatively large in this era.

Zhang Jun is also very satisfied.

At the completion ceremony, there were huge crowds of people and it was very lively.

At 9:40, the completion ceremony of Dapu MOS technology chip factory started on time.

Zhang Jun picked up the microphone, walked to the stage with a smile on his face, glanced at the faces of the guests and reporters, and said slowly: "Hi everyone, I am Zhang Jun, welcome to come to participate in the MOS Technology Company chip factory Completion ceremony!"

"As we all know, in order to build the Dapu MOS technology chip factory, I spent 3 million Hong Kong dollars on land expenditure alone!"

"Then I built a factory and purchased equipment. It cost me 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 2.4 million U.S. dollars!"

"Many people may wonder, why should I spend so much money to build a chip factory?"

Zhang Jun paused, smiled at everyone, and joked, "Of course it's profitable!"

Of course, Zhang Jun will not speak out here, or express his determination to develop technology.

He wants the outside world to think that he is just a pure businessman who just wants to make money.

"If you know anything about Legendary Game Company, then you probably know that arcade game substrates need chips! And the price of chips is often very expensive. For example, a chip from Motorola costs more than 200 US dollars! Therefore, in order to reduce the production cost, I bought MOS Technology Company and invested in the development of the 6502 chip!!"

Here, Zhang Jun paused again. Of course, he did not announce the production cost of the 6502 chip.Right now, the 6502 chip mainly provides chips for Legendary Game Company, and it is not going to be sold in the near future.

However, Zhang Jun opened his mouth to introduce the powerful performance of the 6502 chip to everyone.

People who are familiar with chips in the audience couldn't help being surprised after hearing Zhang Jun's introduction.

The performance of the 6502 chip is very powerful, even more powerful than the Intel 8080 launched by Intel last year, and it is definitely the best among 8-bit microprocessors!
Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Zhang Jun called MOS Technology executives and Dapu leaders to the stage to cut the ribbon.

"Crackling!!"

While cutting the ribbon, a firecracker was ignited not far away.

Originally, someone proposed to invite the lion dance team to have fun, but Zhang Jun refused.

After the ribbon cutting, the reporters all wanted to interview Zhang Jun.

A reporter from the United States asked loudly: "Mr. Zhang, the performance of the 6502 chip is so powerful. I don't know when it will be sold to the outside world? What is the price?"

Zhang Jun smiled and replied: "There will be no external sales within half a year, the price is to be determined, and the company still needs to hold a meeting to discuss."

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Zhang, it is said that you are negotiating with the Hong Kong government to buy more land and expand the chip factory?!"

Zhang Jun nodded with a smile, and said, "Haha, your news is really well-informed! Yes, I am indeed discussing this matter with the government and plan to buy 120 hectares of land!"

Zhang Jun not only plans to expand the chip factory, but also plans to build a display production line and a research and development center.

Whether it is an arcade machine, an electronic pet or a handheld game console, a screen is needed.

Next, Zhang Jun also plans to invest in the establishment of personal computers.

A computer screen also uses a display screen.

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.

Especially the Hong Kong media, as if they had never seen the world, they were all intimidated by the 120 hectares of land.

"How can such a large area be used? Shouldn't we wait for the land to be bought before turning to commercial real estate development!" A Hong Kong newspaper reporter doubted.

The reporters next to him nodded their heads when they heard the words.

Several Dapu leaders on the stage were not sure about Zhang Jun's thoughts, and they also had a trace of doubt, so the negotiation is still in progress and there is no result yet.

However, everyone also had to lament that Zhang Jun was rich.

120 hectares of land, at least 9 million Hong Kong dollars.

Zhang Jun is really rich.

Many people in the audience couldn't help thinking of the recent release of "Pac-Man" by the legendary game company. The profit of the arcade itself alone made hundreds of millions of dollars a month. The speed of making money is amazing.

If this includes other peripheral benefits, it will make people crazy with envy!

Seeing the handsome and elegant Zhang Jun on the stage talking eloquently, everyone envied and hated him!
After the completion ceremony, Zhang Jun brought Dapu leaders to the inside of the chip factory.

The chip factory started the first trial production.

Zhang Jun and others wore white protective clothing and shuttled among the various workshops.

After a visit, the leaders of Dapu were shocked again and again.

The birth of a chip, its production steps are very complicated, there are thousands of steps, which makes people dazzled.Moreover, a lot of high-tech equipment is required, and the degree of semi-automation is very high.

"Mr. Zhang, after visiting your company's chip factory, we have been eye-opening! This factory has a high high-tech content, and it can be called the number one in Hong Kong!" The leader of Dapu couldn't help but said to Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun shook his head with a smile and said: "Our chip production technology is not yet the most advanced, but we will conduct independent research and development in the future, and various production equipment including lithography machines and special materials need to be developed by ourselves!"

We should not let Europe and the United States get stuck. It is best to produce the main production equipment and materials by ourselves.

"Mr. Zhang is so sharp and enterprising. It's really amazing. Then I look forward to your company's performance in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile wryly.

Easier said than done.

Thank God for the development of a few key equipment such as lithography machines.

……

Hong Kong people don't understand chips. Although they were surprised by the huge investment, they quickly forgot about it.

On the contrary, "Water Margin" will be broadcast soon, causing a great sensation.

On the evening of April 4th, at half past six, Phoenix TV began broadcasting the cartoon "Water Margin".

At 8 o'clock exactly, the live-action TV series "Water Margin" began to air.

The manga magazine was published on the "Legendary Shonen Comic Weekly" more than ten days earlier than the cartoons and live-action TV series. Once it was released, it was very popular among comic fans.

At around 50:[-] p.m., Zhang Jun, Huang Xizhao and other company executives stayed in the company in order to keep abreast of changes in ratings.

"Boss, the highest audience rating of "Water Margin" animation is 66.2%, and the average audience rating is 52.4%, surpassing TVB and Jiayi!!" Huang Xizhao said excitedly.

"Hehe, calm down, let's look at the ratings of the live-action TV series!" Zhang Jun said with a smile, leaning on the sofa to read the documents, and would take a sip of Coca-Cola from the table from time to time.

The Coca-Cola on this table is a bottled Coca-Cola produced after the establishment of a joint venture between Hutchison Whampoa and Coca-Cola. The outer packaging is printed with various "Water Margin" comic characters.

That's right, just to take advantage of the popularity of "Water Margin"! !
On the side of the coffee table, there are several packs of Master Kong instant noodles and Master Kong's raccoon crispy noodles!

At eight o'clock sharp, "Water Margin" officially started broadcasting.

Countless people in Hong Kong have long been sitting in front of the TV and looking forward to the broadcast of the TV series.

"Ah, "Water Margin" is finally going to be broadcast. After waiting for so long, it's finally here..." The little boy A Xing stared at the TV without blinking, his face full of excitement.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" filmed by TVB and "Dream of Red Mansions" filmed by Jiayi TV Station had been broadcast one after another more than a month ago, and "Water Margin" filmed by Phoenix TV Station was the slowest.

However, slow work leads to careful work.

Instead, everyone is looking forward to "Water Margin".

TVB's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was crazily complained by the public. For example, a scene where the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and a hundred and ten people from both sides stood there to fight. Who the hell is fooling? !

For example, in the Battle of Chibi, there were only a few dozen small wooden boats, and it was just a small fight. Can we get some large warships, which are more spectacular, and the cost of the crew is so small?

There are also costumes and props. Not only are they old, but some clothes are not Hanfu. As for the plot and acting skills, well, the audience is already powerless to complain...

"Dream of Red Mansions" filmed by Jiayi TV Station is not bad, and has achieved very good ratings.

Everyone was almost disappointed with the four masterpieces that came back.

However, fortunately, Phoenix TV edited some highlights of "Water Margin" and broadcast them on the TV station, thus picking up the interest of the audience.

9:50pm.

The first two episodes of "Water Margin" have ended...

"Ah, it's gone, it's gone unexpectedly, I can't finish it!" Little Ah Xing felt a little regretful, if only he could watch a few more episodes, forget it, let's read the comics a few more times. It seems...

Some people still have more to say, and those who have legendary comic magazines at home can only take out the comic magazines and read the comics of "Water Margin" to quench their thirst.

Needless to say, "Water Margin" is on fire!
The next day, almost everyone was talking about the plot of "Water Margin".

"Water Margin" has become a national topic, a phenomenon-level TV.

Phoenix TV's ratings are naturally the highest in Hong Kong, breaking through 70%.

TVB and Jiayi TV were almost out of breath.

Hutchison Whampoa Company.

Ma Shimin and other senior officials stood in front of Zhang Jun, all of them showed admiration on their faces.

"Water Margin" is so hot, isn't Master Kong's instant noodles and raccoon crispy noodles going to follow suit? !
"Is everything ready?" Zhang Jun asked.

"It's all ready, boss!" Ma Shimin nodded.

"Well, let's get started!"

"Ok."

Near noon, Hong Kong citizens came to the ParknShop supermarket to buy, and suddenly found a row of Master Kong instant noodles lined up at the entrance of the supermarket, and a supermarket salesperson next to him yelled, "The new instant noodles developed by Hutchison Whampoa Company with huge sums of money are worthy It is said to be delicious in the world, and each pack of instant noodles and crispy noodles contains a "Water Margin" hero card, as long as you collect 108 hero cards, you can get a reward of 1 Hong Kong dollars!!!”

There is no temptation to do anything without monetary rewards!

A pack of instant noodles is only 1.5 Hong Kong dollars.

A pack of crispy noodles is only 0.5 Hong Kong dollars.

"Little sister, is what you said true? Will you really reward 108 Hong Kong dollars for collecting all [-] heroes of the Water Margin?" an aunt asked.

The salesperson smiled, "Yes, aunt, we are doing activities to promote new products, so the bonus is very big! You usually buy more instant noodles or crispy noodles from our company. Slowly, maybe you can collect more All 108 cards of Water Margin Heroes!"

The aunt's expression changed when she heard the words, obviously she was careful.

A pack of instant noodles is only 1.5 Hong Kong dollars, as long as you buy more, maybe you can collect all the cards?

For a complete set of cards, only 108 sets were released in Hong Kong.

Want to collect all, just kidding!

Fame will not be so good.

Zhang Jun is a profiteer by nature, how could he give others a chance to pluck their wool?
In fact, as long as all 108 Water Margin Heroes are collected, the collection value may be even higher.

In any case, customers were attracted by Hutchison Whampoa's marketing routines and bought Master Kong's instant noodles and crispy noodles one after another.

The female salesperson of Baijia Supermarket was suddenly stunned. She saw a group of aunts and uncles who bought a box, old arms and legs, and a lot of strength. They picked them up and left.

"Grandma, be careful!"

"It's okay, a box of instant noodles is not heavy. When I was young, I could easily carry a load of more than 100 kilograms and walk a dozen miles of mountain roads. This weight is nothing!"

Various shops at the gate of the school.

Seeing the students coming, the boss shouted: "Come and see, buy crispy noodles, collect "Water Margin" hero cards, and play games with Water Margin influence cards!!!"

That's right, Zhang Jun copied "Water Margin" from "Three Kingdoms" and created a "Water Margin"!
This will stimulate the desire of students and office workers to buy. After all, everyone wants to collect a set of Outlaws of the Marsh cards, and then when they play against others, they have more cards, are more than capable, and are sure to win!
After a while, there was a long queue outside the canteen.

From time to time, students can be heard shouting in surprise.

"Hahahaha! Awesome, I'm so lucky to get Timely Rain Song Jiang!"

"Hehe, I got Wu Yong, a multi-skilled star, who is extremely talented and a military advisor!"

"Made, I have drawn Lu Zhishen again, I have two cards of Lu Zhishen, who will trade with me!"

"Shuangshuangshuang, I got Wu Song!!!"

"..."

The fun of drawing cards is endless!

Full of surprises and uncertainties!
The owner of the commissary was dumbfounded at the moment.

Unexpectedly, the crispy noodles launched by Hutchison Whampoa Company will be so popular!

Not far away, a little fat man bought a box of crispy noodles, but he didn't eat it himself. He opened a package and threw it away, only taking the cards inside.

The owner of the commissary couldn't help but click his tongue.
