The richest man

Chapter 188 Building an Automotive Industrial Park
After the launch of the YouTube video hall project, the demand for video recorders has naturally skyrocketed. Zhang Jun is not sure about other places, but in the mainland market, as long as the reform and opening up, video halls will definitely open all over the country.

Zhang Jun ordered the factory to recruit more workers and expand the production capacity of video recorders to avoid shortages.

……

However, after the establishment of Netflix Netflix, the video rental business quickly became popular all over the world.

Everyone sees the promise of the video rental business.

For a time, video rental companies sprung up everywhere.

The sales of major video recorders around the world also skyrocketed.

Among them, the best-selling one is naturally the legendary video recorder with the highest brand awareness.

Since the legendary video recorder belongs to the vhs system, Netflix's video tapes are also in the vhs system, so the most popular video recorder brands on the market are also in the vhs system.

Sony's Betamax almost suffered a devastating blow.

The vhs camp wins!

Sony did not expect that Zhang Jun would spend huge sums of money to establish Netflix, which really caught Sony by surprise.

Nowadays, vhs has become a big trend.

Sony can't help it!

Unless Sony can create a video rental company with a chain of stores larger than Netflix in a very short period of time, which is almost impossible.

Moreover, most of the newly established video rental stores on the market are of the VHS format.

Sony's competition in the video recorder format has been a crushing defeat. It is hard not to feel hatred for Zhang Jun. This can not help but lay the groundwork for future rivalries...

At this moment, the inside of Japan Victory Company was really overjoyed.

I am extremely fortunate to be able to reach a cooperation with Zhang Jun, which made the vhs video recorder easily beat Betamax.

Through the VHS authorization, it can be said that the money is full.

It's just a pity that although VHS was developed by the Japanese Victory Company, the VCRs produced are not as good as the legendary VCRs, especially in the US market, where the legendary VCRs account for almost two-thirds of the market share.By the end of June, according to incomplete statistics, a total of 6 million Legend VCRs had been sold.

Europe, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia and other regions and countries were marketed by the United States, and the legendary VCR sold like crazy.Of course, the period was also accompanied by the rapid expansion of Netflix.

……

"Hey, the legendary VCR is so expensive, $299, I can't afford it without eating or drinking for a few months of work!"

In Southeast Asia, a man stared at the legendary video recorder in the shopping mall and sighed.

In this world, the number of developed countries is still relatively small, and a video recorder priced at only 299 US dollars is not affordable for many people.

And thus, the YouTube Arcade was born!
Just when the man was sighing, a friend of his behind ran up to him with a face full of excitement, and said excitedly: "Dumb, don't watch it, let's go to the YouTube video hall, I invite you to watch the video today!!!"

"What is the YouTube video hall?" Dumb asked.

"It's similar to a movie theater. The difference is that there are video tapes in the video hall. The price is very cheap, only three yuan per person!"

"Oh?!" Dumb couldn't help being surprised.

"Hurry up and follow me, the YouTube video hall is open near the gate of our school, the boss is going to play "Star Wars"!!!"

"Okay, let's go!"

At this moment, YouTube video halls are popping up in many developing countries around the world.

Because watching movies is cheap, the business of the YouTube video hall has been very hot as soon as it was launched, and it is impossible not to attract attention.

It didn't take long for the international media to take notice of the YouTube video hall chain.

After investigation, I was surprised to find that this YouTube video hall was also created by the great genius Zhang Jun.

"YouTube video halls are expanding very fast in developing countries. Forty or fifty chain stores open almost every day, and the business is extremely hot, and they are even open all night long!"

A tall young female reporter from The New York Times introduced.

Colleagues were all surprised when they heard this.

The female reporter added: "I did a careful investigation and found that the cost of opening a YouTube store is very low. A small store with a few small rooms at the back is used to play video tapes. The cost will not exceed 1 US dollars, but the income is amazing. Two You can pay back your money in three months!"

"In developing countries, Legendary Technology Co., Ltd. strongly supports customers who plan to open video halls, allowing them to pay in installments. After the establishment of YouTube video halls, there are many imitators, and because Legendary Technology Company launched the installment payment model, the result is Legendary Video Recorder. They are sold like crazy in developing countries!!!”

Everyone heard the words and said with emotion: "Legend Technology Company's marketing tactics are really clever. Legend VCRs have swept the global market, and even the poor countries are not spared. I can only say one word 'convince'!"

"Legendary Technology's video recorder shipments have exceeded the sum of other manufacturers in the world, and the price of Legendary video recorders is not cheap at all, and the profit is extremely high. You say it's great!!" The female reporter said again.

"Amazing!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

……

Zhang Jun looked at the report with a smile on his lips.

The legendary VCR sold out, exceeding his imagination.

The YouTube video room has played a good demonstration effect, and this video room model has spread like weeds in developing countries. The expansion speed of YouTube video halls is far inferior to the number of video halls spontaneously established by local people.

Since Panasonic, Hitachi, Victory, and even Sony do not pay much attention to the VCR market in developing countries, Legendary Technology is currently struggling to eat.

"The video recorder market will become bigger and bigger in the future, but the real money is actually video tapes, so Netflix has a greater potential for development. It needs to make users get used to renting on Netflix and launch a membership point system."

"Members can enjoy a variety of benefits, such as door-to-door delivery service, discounts on holidays..."

"On the 1st of every month, a magazine of Netflix's latest film and television works will be mailed to stimulate users to come and consume..."

Zhang Jun felt that if he saw the magazines mailed by Netflix, sooner or later he would be unable to resist renting some videos from Netflix and taking them home to watch.

"Boss, Liu Changhe is here!"

At this time, the secretary walked up to Zhang Jun and said.

"Please!" Zhang Jun put the plan he just wrote into the drawer, stretched his fingers, and waited for Liu Changhe's arrival.

After a while, Liu Changhe came to the office.

"Zhang Jun, congratulations, the legendary video recorder is selling well, Netflix is ​​popular all over the world, and YouTube video halls are also flourishing in poor countries. It's amazing, it's really admirable!" Liu Changhe said sincerely.At the same time, I can't help but sigh, Zhang Jun is really good at doing business, and after this series of operations, he has made a lot of money, probably a billion dollars!

Liu Changhe couldn't help but think that the mainland's foreign exchange is only a few hundred million US dollars.

Zhang Jun smiled, made a cup of tea for President Liu Changhe himself, and said immediately: "President Liu came this time, did he bring me good news?"

Liu Changhe nodded and said, "After many studies, the country has agreed to your request."

In fact, the main reason is that Zhang Jun is so worth wooing, that the country made an exception and opened the banking markets of BJ, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to him.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun was overjoyed. As long as Standard Chartered Bank develops well, the future potential is unlimited!

"President Liu, this news really makes me so happy!!"

Liu Changhe smiled, and then said: "Standard Chartered Bank's entry into the mainland market is actually a good thing. Let alone deposits, the main thing is loans. I believe that with the loans of Standard Chartered Bank, some companies in the mainland will definitely develop rapidly."

Standard Chartered Bank has a lot of foreign exchange. In addition to the $50 billion loan promised to the government, enterprises can also borrow from Standard Chartered Bank to purchase foreign advanced equipment and improve productivity.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem, but if you want to get a loan, you need to go through a strict review."

"Haha, of course."

At this moment, Zhang Jun was frightened. Looking at Liu Changhe's expression, I am afraid that there are countless companies in the mainland waiting for the rice to be cooked. As long as Standard Chartered Bank enters the mainland, there will be countless companies applying for loans...

I have to let Standard Chartered Bank take it easy and strengthen the review, so that no other company can get a loan. Even if the local government puts pressure on it, I must stick to my principles.

Liu Changhe only stayed for a while, then left.

Zhang Jun then called the president of Standard Chartered Bank, and told him to prepare to enter the mainland banking market, and told him that if the mainland government came to borrow 50 billion US dollars, he would give them the interest as agreed before.

In fact, most of Standard Chartered Bank's foreign exchange reserves are liquid funds under Zhang Jun's name.

Even with a loan of 50 billion US dollars, the funds are still very abundant.

Three days later, Standard Chartered Bank signed a relevant agreement with the mainland government.

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar in the whole of Hong Kong.

The huge amount of 50 billion US dollars is undoubtedly an astronomical sum, and everyone was moved by the loan to the mainland like this.

The "Hong Kong Daily" began to guide public opinion at this time. The mainland is currently actively establishing diplomatic relations with the United States, reform and opening up are about to take place, and the future development potential is huge. The loan of US$50 billion to the mainland will bring huge benefits to Standard Chartered Bank.At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank took this opportunity to enter the mainland banking market, and is expected to gain potential users with a population of more than one billion.

There are only more than 400 million people in Hong Kong, and more than one billion people in the Mainland.

Anyone with a flexible mind knows that Standard Chartered Bank's entry into the mainland market is super good news.It's a pity that Standard Chartered Bank has been delisted and privatized, otherwise the stock price will definitely soar!
Under the guidance of the public opinion of the "Hong Kong Daily", everyone realized that Standard Chartered Bank seemed to be making a lot of money.

The $50 billion is a loan, not a gift to the mainland.

Standard Chartered Bank can make a lot of money, and the key is to enter the mainland market.

At this time, some people can't help feeling that the largest bank in Hong Kong is no longer HSBC, but Standard Chartered Bank.

Regardless of the fact that HSBC has many depositors, it is not much more than Standard Chartered Bank.

Only Zhang Jun's enterprise can support Standard Chartered Bank to become the first bank in Hong Kong.

Today, more and more depositors have transferred funds to Standard Chartered Bank.

In order to be able to cooperate with Zhang Jun, the major suppliers also transferred the company's turnover to Standard Chartered Bank.

Standard Chartered Bank's asset scale is already very large.

……

However, after receiving a foreign exchange loan of 50 billion U.S. dollars, the mainland finally felt a bit generous.

A lot of lists have been made, and various advanced technologies and equipment will be purchased from abroad.

It is not difficult to imagine that the mainland in this life will develop faster.

Zhang Jun feels that while he is making profits, he can also help the development of the motherland, and he is extremely happy.

The formal reform and opening up will not take place until December.

But Zhang Jun felt that he needed to make a factory transfer plan in advance.

Some factories with low technology and high labor density have been transferred to Shenzhen.

Now there is another problem. Once these factories are transferred to the mainland, many workers in Hong Kong will lose their jobs.Zhang Jun had to think about this issue clearly.

In order to keep Hong Kong workers from losing their jobs, it is necessary to find jobs for them.

Zhang Jun thought about it and felt that the only way to add new industries to cover the original work is to upgrade the technology industry.Standing in front of the window and looking into the distance, Zhang Jun's expression suddenly changed when he saw the dazzling array of vehicles on the street.

"Why don't I get involved in the auto industry and find a relatively large place to build an auto industry park!!!"

Thinking about it this way, my mind opened up.

After Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979, she began to implement a large-scale privatization program.From 1981 to 1985, it has successively privatized more than 20 state-owned enterprises such as British Aerospace Corporation, Telegraph and Wireless Company, Emsham International Company, Brittoll Petroleum Company, and Jaguar Motor Company.

I can totally get a share of it.

The decline of the British auto industry is extremely serious, and many companies are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Among them, Rolls-Royce Motor Company is Zhang Jun's favorite brand.

Zhang Jun immediately called and ordered people to start investigating the global auto industry to prepare for the acquisition plan.

Afterwards, Zhang Jun called Chinaland to communicate with Ma Shimin to build an automobile industrial park.

"According to what you said, boss, not only the assembly, but also the production of auto parts, the area required by the auto industry park is huge, which is almost equivalent to building a new city! So far, I think Tianshuiwei is a more suitable place. The government plans to To build a new city in Tin Shui Wai, 488 hectares of land were granted. At present, Li Ka-shing’s Cheung Kong Holdings Group and Wheelock & Co. are planning to jointly invest in the purchase of the land in Tin Shui Wai. If you think this place is suitable, boss, we must come forward to compete as soon as possible, or we will be rejected They bought it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun made a decisive decision and said, "Immediately contact the Hong Kong government to express our willingness to participate in the bidding, and at the same time reveal our plan to build an automobile industrial park in Tin Shui Wai!"

"Yes!"

……

The next morning, after the personnel from Chinese Land and Legend Technology came out from the Housing Department, the news that the two companies jointly bid for Tin Shui Wai spread like wildfire.

When Li Jiacheng heard the news, he was immediately depressed and decided to abandon the Tianshuiwei project.For this project itself, Cheung Kong is not in a dominant position.

Seeing this, Wheelock also gave up.

In the end, when bidding, a symbolic number was reported, but it was definitely not in the bidding.

In Hong Kong, everyone does not want to offend Zhang Jun.

If he wanted to maliciously raise the price to disgust Zhang Jun, then his own company might be lost in the end.

As a result, Chinese Land and Legend Technology successfully bid for HK$18 billion!
