The richest man

Chapter 207 Mobile phone! ! !

A young talent like Zhang Jun often encounters many women who express their love to him, and after seeing a lot of them, he gets used to it.

But Zhang Jun was deeply impressed by the star in front of him.

Guan Lin, someone praised her as the number one beauty in Hong Kong, known as the "rich harvester", and attracted countless rich people to bow down, and she has no taboos in order to join the rich.

Zhang Jun was slightly surprised, took another look at her, and then walked towards the interior of the company.

Guan Lin obviously also found Zhang Jun at this time, thinking that what she just said may not have been heard by him...

There is a hint of joy in the shyness.

She was very confident in her appearance and figure, thinking to herself, Zhang Jun might fall in love with her...

However, he didn't think that she had a rich love history, had several boyfriends, and even married, could Zhang Jun fall in love with her?
……

……

"In the past two years, Legendary Films has developed very well, and many films have become popular in Asia. Moreover, the development of peripheral products for films has become increasingly mature. Hong Kong's industrial chain is almost catching up with Hollywood in the United States!" Zhang Jun praised.

Huang Baiming sighed slightly: "It's a pity that piracy is rampant, and many countries and regions even allow the development of piracy..."

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but nodded, expressing his understanding. The situation of piracy is really difficult to solve.

"Try to improve the sales channels of peripheral products to compete with piracy, and at the same time strengthen copyright publicity to raise people's awareness of genuine products! Next, urge the local government to introduce relevant policies." Zhang Jun said slowly.

These methods, used in this era, should not be very effective.Piracy is popular because it is cheap. At present, the economies of many Asian countries and regions are not developing, and the income of the people is not high. If you ask him to support the genuine version, is it possible for you?
Therefore, Zhang Jun does not have too much expectation for this.

In the United States, the profit of peripheral products far exceeds the box office revenue, and even the difference is several times.

In line with the idea of ​​making a little money, Zhang Jun still vigorously develops peripheral products of the film in Asia.The copyright in Japan is a little bit better, and peripheral products make a lot of money.

In recent years, the best place for Legendary Films to develop is the establishment of movie theaters in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries. The total number of movie theaters is as high as more than 1220.

Hollywood studios want to distribute films in Asia, and they also want to cooperate with Legendary Films.

Film distribution is more profitable than film production, and the risk is very small. Even if the film does not make money, it will not lose too much. Some distribution terms even allow the distributor to recover the distribution cost first, and then negotiate with the producer. If this is the case, it will be even more difficult for the issuer to lose money.

"Mainland has reformed and opened up. If you want to make a martial arts movie or a fairy tale movie, you can send people to the mainland to shoot scenes!"

Others value the film market in Taiwan, but Zhang Jun doesn't care. The box office of Taiwan is not as high as that of Hong Kong. Zhang Jun plans to let Legendary Films invest in several big productions that can be popular all over the world, and the filming place is in the Mainland.

Marvel movies have already become famous in Hong Kong. After the "Spider-Man" hit, other heroes have been filmed successively, "Hulk", "Wolverine" and "Captain America".

This time, Zhang Jun is going to create a Chinese superhero.

The spirit revives, and ancient Chinese mythological figures, demons and ghosts wake up one after another. Some people do evil, and naturally some people come out to uphold justice.

Zhang Jun spent the whole morning talking with Huang Baiming about how to create a Chinese superhero.

Zhang Jun provided a basic idea, and then the company's scriptwriting department perfected the plan, and then cooperated with Legendary Comics to produce the comics.

When the comics become popular, the Chinese superhero project will be launched.

In the film, more scenes of mainland China will be shot. When the film is released abroad, it will definitely attract many tourists to travel to mainland China.

Of course, Zhang Jun will also send people to cooperate with the local tourism bureau to publicly develop these tourism resources.

……

The fire of "Resident Evil" set off a wave of zombie movies.

A month after the film was released, Legendary Films released another zombie movie-"Death Train".

After the release of this film similar to the first "Train to Busan", word-of-mouth has exploded. While the film is intense and exciting, it also reveals the dark side of human nature. The perfect combination of art and business has won the unanimous approval of film critics.

The box office results are also amazing.

The film's first-day box office in Asia was as high as 1150 million US dollars.

This achievement could not help but stimulate countless film companies again.

Major film companies have increased their film investment budgets, and at the same time found Legendary Films to cooperate with. At present, Legendary Films has the most comprehensive film distribution network in Asia, and can even distribute films in Europe and the United States.

Even Golden Harvest has now begun to give up the distribution work outside Hong Kong, and is looking for Legendary Films to cooperate.

Industrial Light & Magic (Hong Kong) also received dozens of orders.

In the past, everyone knew that Industrial Light & Magic was good at special effects, but they were too expensive and reluctant to spend money. But now that I think about it, I just feel that I am too stupid. Although special effects cost more money, if the movie becomes popular, then Earn a fortune!
Half a month later, "Corpse Train" held a celebration banquet in advance.

The box office in Asia has broken $1 million.

"Zhang Sheng, congratulations, both "Resident Evil" and "Corpse Train" have achieved astonishing box office, especially in Europe and the United States, which really impresses us!" Zou Wenhuai looked at Zhang with a smile on his face. Jun couldn't help but speak.

A "Resident Evil" made Legendary Technology Corporation earn a lot of money, which was worth Golden Harvest's efforts for several years.

Zou Wenhuai was envious.

Mr. Shao Daheng sat on the sofa beside him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The movies invested and produced by Legendary Film Company are really too profitable. Is it wrong for him to leave the film industry...

At this time, Daheng Shao even thought about returning to the film industry.

Zhang Jun smiled lightly and said softly: "There is no trick to making a movie a hit, the main thing is to spend money! I deduce that the future must be the era of blockbuster movies, especially the era of blockbuster special effects movies. If Hong Kong movies stand still, the future will be sure." will be eliminated. Of course, I can also understand the thinking of many film producers. The investment of blockbuster films is high, and it is difficult to recover the cost at the local box office in Hong Kong, so they dare not invest. There is no way, who made our Hong Kong market only It’s so big. However, I think it’s better for a powerful film company to find a way to go out and enter the European and American markets. If the film is better, Disney can be your distributor.”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but praise Zhang Jun.

"Thank you Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng is the representative of our Hong Kong cinema! Please take care of Zhang Sheng in the future!"

"Yes, thank you Zhang Sheng for taking care of it. Isn't it a blockbuster film? Our company is willing to vote!"

"..."

Zhang Jun was surrounded by enthusiastic crowd, like the stars supporting the moon, this scene couldn't help but envy Shao Daheng who was on the side.

Shao Daheng lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

Young fighting spirit seems to be rekindled!

"I'm back again!" Daheng Shao said to himself.

……

The films made by Legendary Films are popular all over the world, and the profits are too high, which stimulates many people at once.

Shao Daheng announced his return to business a few days later.

The Hong Kong film industry is booming now, and the domestic box office has exceeded 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. Shao Daheng is jealous of the profits here, and of course he wants to come back.

Of course Shao Daheng wanted to replicate the box office miracle created by Legendary Films, but he also knew that it would be difficult, as long as the films produced by his company became popular in Asia.

Looking at the collected materials, Zhang Jun showed a slight smile on his face. Many film companies began to increase their film investment budgets, and Golden Harvest even began to invest in the production of blockbuster films.

"Legendary Films is like a catfish. Under its influence, Hong Kong movies should develop in a better direction! In the past, people thought that the Hong Kong market was small, but with the support of Legendary Films, their films can be distributed. To Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and even the whole world. In this way, they don’t have to worry about not being able to recover the cost, and Legendary Technology also has a fairly complete distribution channel in the development of peripheral products.”

In the 80s, Hong Kong movies were extremely prosperous, almost beating Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

And with Zhang Jun's stimulation, I'm afraid they can reach Europe and the United States!
……

……

Legendary technology.

"What's the progress of the mobile phone project?" Zhang Jun sat on the leather sofa, sipping tea leisurely, while asking Shangguan Muye who was sitting opposite.

Shangguan Muye shook his head and said, "Although the mobile phone has been developed, it is too big and not practical enough."

Zhang Jun frowned slightly, and asked, "How big is it?"

If it is as big as a brick, it can actually be used. In the previous life, the "big brother" developed by Motorola was just a brick. It was very heavy, and it was not convenient to hold it.However, it is still popular all over the world.

"It's about the size of two bricks and weighs three pounds." Shangguan Muye replied shyly.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun's mouth twitched suddenly, this is too damn heavy.

No wonder Shangguan Muye said that this thing is not used much, it is so big and heavy, it can be used for fitness.

At least try to get the weight down to under two pounds.

"Okay, you tell the development department to work hard to realize the miniaturization of mobile phones, preferably in the pocket! Motorola is also developing mobile phones, and they have developed mobile phones several years earlier than us, and they are technologically ahead of us. We, we must hurry up!"

"Okay, boss, I know! I will urge the development department!"

"Well, that's fine!"

"By the way, just have a mobile phone, if there is no base station, the mobile phone will not work! So from now on, we will acquire Hong Kong Telecom, set up base stations in Hong Kong first, and then advance to Japan, Europe and the United States!"

"Okay!" Shangguan Muye nodded.

The telecommunications company's information has been investigated, and it has already secretly absorbed a large number of shares.

The telephone business in Hong Kong is basically monopolized by two companies, Hong Kong Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

Legendary Technology has secretly grasped quite a lot of shares, and can initiate acquisitions of these two companies.

And now that time is running out, Motorola has already started building base stations in the US.

Legendary Technology has been a step behind.

……

According to Zhang Jun's instructions, Shangguan Muye immediately launched the acquisition action and officially launched an acquisition offer for Hong Kong Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

Although the telephone business made money, if Legend Technology offered a higher price, the other party would still be willing to sell the company.

Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph Bureau belongs to foreign capital and is headquartered in the United Kingdom.

Right now, Sino-British negotiations are at an impasse.

British consortia fled Hong Kong one after another.

The Dadong Telegraph Bureau is worried about the future situation, and actually wants to leave Hong Kong.

Dadong Telegraph welcomes the acquisition of Legend Technology.

Hong Kong Telephone Company is a listed company in Hong Kong, a public utility.

However, Zhang Jun has already held more than 35% of the shares, and he can find a few major shareholders and buy the shares in their hands to achieve control.

Therefore, Shangguan Muye is confident to win these two companies in a short time.

……

In the meeting room of the Dadong Telegraph Office, a group of British people were having a heated discussion.

"Legendary Technology's quotation to Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. is 12 billion Hong Kong dollars. What do you think of this price?"

"satisfy!"

"The price is very good, but I think we can ask for more!"

The greedy British knew that Zhang Jun was rich, and also knew that Zhang Jun wanted to take over Hong Kong's telecommunications business, so he planned to open his mouth.

"20 billion Hong Kong dollars, the potential of our Dadong Telegraph is worth so much. Hong Kong Telecom's business is developing rapidly, and the future value-added potential is huge. A mere 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is cheap for Zhang Jun!!"

"Well, let's offer Zhang Jun 20 billion first,"

"Okay, the Chinese have a saying, ask for the price, pay back the money on the spot. If he doesn't agree, we can talk again!"

"Yes Yes!"

Shangguan Muye was scolded by Dadong Telegraph's quotation, saying that he was only willing to bid 12 billion Hong Kong dollars.

If Dadong Telegraph monopolized the Hong Kong Telecom business, 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is nothing, but now there is a Hong Kong telephone company that is more powerful than Dadong Telegraph, then Dadong Telegraph is not worth 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Shangguan Muye thought for a while, and decided to settle the Hong Kong Telephone Company first.

The large and small shareholders of Hong Kong Telephone Company are more sensible, and they also realized that some time ago, the stock market of Hong Kong Telephone Company was rather strange. It must be that Legendary Technology Company has secretly absorbed shares. Maybe Legendary Technology Company can now control Hong Kong Telephone Company. If the shareholders do not compromise, they will only be cheated to death by the major shareholders.

More than ten days later, Legend Technology finally completed the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company, holding 85% of the shares, and then applied for delisting.

After delisting, Legend Technology invested HK$10 billion in Hong Kong Telephone Company to expand its business and build base stations.

At this time, the Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph Office panicked. If Legend Technology did not buy them, but directly supported Hong Kong Telephone Company to compete with them, it would be troublesome.

The main business of Hong Kong Telephone Company is intra-city telephone service.
The main business of Dadong Telegraph Office is external telephone service.

However, this does not mean that HKTC cannot enter the external telephone business.

The Dadong Telegraph Office is not as rich and powerful as Legendary Technology. If the Hong Kong Telephone Company competes with the Dadong Telegraph Company, it will be clear at a glance who will win.The directors of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau knew this very well, so they hurriedly sent people to communicate with Legend Technology, hoping to restart the negotiation, and the Dadong Telegraph Bureau would make some concessions on the price.

Shangguan Muye said that he had already acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company, and the importance of Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph to Legend Technology Company had been reduced, so he was only willing to bid 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The two sides restarted the negotiation, and it took more than a week to negotiate a price - 10.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The acquisition of Legend Technology Company certainly attracted the attention of the media in Hong Kong.

After Legendary Technology bought Hong Kong Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph, everyone couldn't help exclaiming that Zhang Jun once again monopolized an industry in Hong Kong.

At this time, Zhang Jun ordered Hong Kong Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph to reorganize and merge. The new company was called Chunghwa Telecom, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legend Technology.

Zhang Jun already has to worry about how shocked the outside world is. Recently, news came from the United States that Motorola's mobile phones have begun mass production.

By the looks of it, Motorola was about to release the cellular phone in 1983.

Zhang Jun knows that this mobile phone product is called DynaTAC 8000X, which weighs 2 pounds, has half an hour of talk time, and sells for $3, which is the common "big brother"!
When he was a child, he bought this product at home, and his father liked to show off, and he would always bring his "big brother" with him every time he went out. At that time, his father walked on the road, and the return rate was 100%.

……

December 1983, 2.

The world's first commercial mobile phone is released to the public - "Motorola dynatac 8000x".

The global media and technology circles were shocked!
The emergence of "Motorola dynatac 8000x" means that people can make calls anytime and anywhere outdoors, which is really convenient and has changed the way of life of human beings.

The major media have praised "Motorola dynatac 8000x", saying that it is one of the most useful inventions in human history, a milestone in the field of communication, and of great significance.

On that day, Motorola's stock price soared, and people rushed to buy the company's stock. Everyone knew that Motorola was going to take off!
"Motorola dynatac 8000x" has been snapped up by countless users, and stores in many places in the United States have been sold out.

For a time, Motorola was the same for a while, and the scenery was infinite!

This made Zhang Jun so envious!

He looked at his own products, and compared with the "Motorola dynatac 8000x", there are still many gaps, so the company can only improve quickly.

The developers felt a lot of pressure, and everyone consciously worked overtime and stayed up all night, trying to develop a mobile phone that could surpass the "Motorola dynatac 8000x" as soon as possible.

"It took Motorola 10 years to develop this product, but our legendary technology only needs 2 years! Come on!"

"Come on!! We are the best!"

Everyone held back their energy and forgot to eat or sleep.

So in the second month after Motorola released the mobile phone, Legend Technology finally developed the mobile phone.The appearance is very similar to the "Motorola dynatac 8000x", but it is thinner, the total weight is only 1.5 pounds, and the talk time is as high as two hours.

"Motorola dynatac 8000x" is a white mobile phone.

In order to distinguish the mobile phone produced by his company from the Motorola mobile phone, Zhang Jun used black for the whole body.

Mobile phones are luxury items that not many people in Hong Kong can afford.

Zhang Jun only let the factory produce 50 units for the time being.

1983年5月1号上午9点钟，传奇科技公司召开了产品发布会，正式对外发售「荣耀手机1」。

As soon as the news came out, it was no surprise that it caused a sensation all over the world.

Motorola's stock price plummeted.

Originally, Motorola had a monopoly advantage, but I didn't expect a competitor to appear so soon, and this competitor is a legendary technology, it would be even more terrible!
Many shareholders feel that Motorola is in trouble~
In Hong Kong, the United States and other places, Legendary stores have launched the "Honor 1" at a price of US$3555, which is not only nearly US$8000 cheaper than the "Motorola Dynatac 400x", but also has a talk time of up to 2 hours, far exceeding the Motorola Dynatac 8000x".

Of course, this is due to Zhang Jun's huge investment in the battery field.

Qiankun handhelds, electronic pets, Walkman and other products all need batteries.

At present, the only company in the world that attaches so much importance to the battery business is Legend Technology.

The batteries produced by Legend Technology are not only small in size, but also have high power storage capacity.

Moto Moola is really not wronged.

As soon as the "Honor Phone 1" was released, the "Motorola Dynatac 8000x" was seriously unsalable. The angry Motorola almost went crazy. Finally, after discussion by the board of directors, it had to announce a price cut of US$500.

However, even so, "Motorola dynatac 8000x" still cannot compete with "Honor Phone 1".

Under such circumstances, Motorola played tricks and sued Legend Technology for patent plagiarism...
