Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 642 [I have to pay tuition fees]

In mid-September, Mr. Tung, the head of the Hong Kong government, released the "Second Policy Report", which officially clarified that "Cultural Revitalization of Hong Kong", "Technology Establishment of Hong Kong", and "Chinese Medicine Hong Kong" are the major policy policies of the Hong Kong government, as well as several other matters.

For a time, the spirits of the citizens of Xiangjiang were greatly shaken, and they all applauded.

Hong Kong has begun to realize that its high-rise buildings and real estate services alone are no longer enough to resist the repeated attacks of those international financial giants.In terms of 'cultural field' and 'technical field', Xiangjiang has laid a very solid foundation, especially the two giants represented by ATV Group and Manfai Media have become representatives of these two fields and the pride of Xiangjiang citizens.

If it is said that the 600 million people in Hong Kong have each paid a price of more than 2 Hong Kong dollars in order to defend the peg exchange rate; then in the long run, if the price is less than 1%, that is, 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, it will be able to cultivate the Hong Kong stock market. With a group of technology-intensive emerging companies based in the Mainland and Hong Kong, Hong Kong's ability to withstand international storms in the future may achieve a hundredfold effect.

Xiangjiang is no longer the Xiangjiang of his previous life!

In the field of culture alone, Heung Kong is able to disdain Asia and enter the industry of "the world's cultural powerhouse"; from Hong Kong dramas, HK-POP, Hong Kong dramas, to software and games, Heung Kong's status in the cultural field is only the same as that of other Asian countries. Japan can be compared.

When Mr. Dong released the 'Second Policy Address', the citizens of Xiangjiang immediately thought of Lin Zuhui.

"Several years ago, Mr. Lin Zuhui successively announced in the media the proposals of 'invigorating Hong Kong with culture', 'establishing Hong Kong with science and technology', and 'port of traditional Chinese medicine'?"

"That's right! At that time, everyone's energy was focused on real estate, and they didn't pay too much attention to it. Only now have we discovered that Mr. Lin Zuhui is 'alone sober' in Xiangjiang. He deserves to be the richest man in the world."

"That's right! Mr. Lin not only made a proposal, but also proved it with practical actions. Now it seems that Xiangjiang is really blessed to have Mr. Lin Zuhui."

Citizens talked about the great achievements of ATV Group and Manfai Media Group, and Lin Zuhui received rave reviews for a while; in addition, Lin Zuhui and the Hong Kong government "saved the market" together, and his reputation skyrocketed for a while.

The two groups support more than 1.5 people, and the financial crisis did not cause a large number of layoffs. This alone is a great achievement.

Only three days after the "Policy Address" was released, 18 performing arts groups in Hong Kong launched an "anti-piracy" parade with great momentum; at the same time, many radio stations in Hong Kong responded to this event and stopped broadcasting songs and music.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wanhui Media's various newspapers and Asian TV stations have released "anti-piracy" news and "support genuine" advertisements.

The scale of this event was much larger than before, and the Xiangjiang government later stated that it must severely crack down on "piracy" and declare war on forces that "endanger Xiangjiang culture".

country of sticks.

Kim Dae-jong's secretary came to his office and reported: "Boss, Xiangjiang released the second policy plan."

Jin Dazhong was taken aback for a moment, and said inexplicably, "Why do you want to talk to Hong Kong after it announced its policy plan?"

The secretary quickly said: "That's it. In the second policy plan of Hong Kong, the plans of 'rejuvenating Hong Kong with culture', 'establishing Hong Kong with science and technology', and 'port of traditional Chinese medicine' are clarified. The goals overlap."

Jin Dazhong flashed an embarrassing look, and then said: "Xiangjiang only has a population of 600 million, and it used to be a colony. There is no culture to thrive, let alone the development of high technology. They have an industrial chain! So there is no need Worried, the "cultural nation" I'm about to propose is a huge cultural system, a comprehensive system of our Republic of Korea's thousands of years of history and new era culture. Little Xiangjiang, they will never understand that culture is a systematic development plan."

After saying these words, Jin Dazhong suddenly became energetic.

In fact, he certainly knows the influence of HK-POP, Hong Kong dramas, and Hong Kong dramas in Asia and the world; however, he feels that the Republic of Korea can come from behind and have greater influence in Asia and the world.

Because Xiangjiang only has a population of 600 million, while South Korea has a population of nearly 5000 million.

The secretary nodded and said, "I believe that Your Excellency the President will definitely be able to lead Korean culture to lead the trend of the world!"

"Haha, it's too early to say these things. Of course, we have to be confident. We need to formulate better laws to protect the cultural industry and encourage enterprises to develop the cultural industry."

"Yes!"

With the release of the second policy plan of the Xiangjiang government, the major enterprises and chaebols in Xiangjiang couldn't bear their loneliness one after another, and established entertainment companies one after another.

As far as Lin Zuhui knows, Liu Luanxiong, Yang Shoucheng, Poon Dickson, Fang Jin and other friends are recently considering imitating YG Entertainment and setting up a new generation of entertainment companies.

For a time, the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang began to flourish.

ATV Group.

Sitting in the office, Lin Zuhui seemed in a good mood.Everyone came to compete, and he didn't need to worry at all, after all, he originally wanted Hong Kong to develop a 'Hong Kong culture'.

Hong Kong stream culture has been developing for seven or eight years. During this period, ATV Group is not alone in its development. For example, TVB has also become a large group that develops "Hong Kong stream culture" in an all-round way. Except for movies, it has no involvement, such as entertainment companies, Hong Kong stream dramas, All have matured technology.

There is no shortage of markets for Hong Kong culture, and there is already a mature overseas and mainland development experience. Especially in the mainland, stars from Bangzi Country and Little Days can’t get in at all. Taiwan and Island stars can share some leftovers, but Taiwan’s entertainment market is still Half of the country is occupied by the Hong Kong Current.

Lin Zuhui knows that this is the first wave of Hong Kong culture, and the second wave is about to start, which will establish the world status of "Gang culture" in one fell swoop.

Flipping through the planning materials of Hong Kong drama "X-MAN", Lin Zuhui seems to have returned to the era when he stayed up late to watch it in his previous life. After so many years, some classic scenes still have a deep impression, such as "covering ears".
Of course, it is impossible for "X-MAN" to 'plagiarize' according to the previous life, it can only be said that the modes, games, and rules are almost the same.

"dong dong"

"Come in"

Zhao Zhenqiang walked in and asked respectfully, "Boss, what are the planning materials for "X-MAN"?"

He can't wait to start filming. Although it's just a show, according to the boss, this is the originator of the real 'Hong Kong Stream Variety Show'; as for the previous variety shows, they are not called Hong Kong Stream Variety Shows, but 'The World' Sex Variety Show'.

Lin Zuhui closed the project and said with a smile: "After just looking at it, I think it's pretty good. I like all three hosts, so let's start the project like this!"

The host is not a celebrity he knew well in his previous life, but a comedian and host trained by ATV Group itself; the reason is actually very simple, with the rise of Hong Kong culture, even the four kings have to consider backing down, let alone those traditional star.And Xiangjiang's entertainment industry is well developed, at least several times higher than in the previous life. Many popular stars may have been unknown in the previous life, or even ordinary people.

In short, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong has changed!
Originally, the Hong Kong entertainment industry had declined since the late 90s in the previous life, and it happened that Hong Kong culture took over and carried forward it in this life.

"Okay, if it goes well, we can officially meet the audience in early November! PD will also revise the version in time according to the audience's reaction, and it will definitely not disappoint!"

With the implementation of the PD system by the ATV Group, the efficiency of the entire group has improved a lot!And if PD plans good programs and episodes, he will enjoy a certain advertising share, which is actually a bonus, which increases everyone's enthusiasm.

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction, and said, "How is "Meteor Garden" going?"

"The opening drama in 1999, there is no problem with the time!"

"Um"

"Meteor Garden" will be the key Hong Kong drama in 1999. If this phenomenon-level Hong Kong drama can be produced once a year, it can almost support ATV Group's "top Hong Kong drama"; of course, ATV The group has almost two or three "top Hong Kong dramas" a year.

However, the overall quality of ATV Group's drama series is definitely not in the post-21st century period of Korea's previous life.After all, the level of selling tens of thousands of episodes every year is the best test.

Therefore, although Lin Zuhui still has some goods, he won't show them too early, and it's enough to shake one a year, which is considered as a bonus.

Pengcheng.

Lin Zuhui came to Xiaomi Science and Technology Park in a low-key manner. At this time, he is no longer the chairman of Xiaomi Technology, Zou Kaixuan is; and Zou Kaixuan also resigned from the position of president. Duan is the talent.

History has changed. There is no BBK president Duan, only Duan with an annual salary of nearly [-] million in Xiaomi Technology.

As for Li Luobao, he is a Chinese immigrated to the United States from Taiwan and was invited back by Xiaomi Technology.What Xiaomi Technology likes is that he has rich experience as an international corporate executive, which will help sell Xiaomi Technology's business and products overseas.

Sitting on the sofa in Zou Kaixuan's office, Lin Zuhui drank tea leisurely, feeling very good.Although he does not directly hold Xiaomi Technology, it does not affect his mood of watching Xiaomi Technology grow.

After chatting with Zou Kaixuan for a while, Li Luobao knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing Lin Zuhui was taken aback, he quickly recovered.

"Mr. Lin, hello!" Li Luobao greeted quickly.

Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "President Li, please sit down!"

Li Luobao nodded and sat on the sofa. He probably knew the relationship between Lin Zuhui and Zou Kaixuan. As for who Lin Zuhui was in Xiaomi Technology, he was the public founder and the current major shareholder.

"I came here to learn about the development of Xiaomi Technology, so I invited President Li to come to help you clear up your doubts, so it won't affect your work!"

Li Luobao quickly said: "Mr. Lin was joking, you are the founder and major shareholder of Xiaomi Technology, so naturally you are my boss, and it is natural to report to you."

Lin Zuhui nodded, and then learned about the situation of Xiaomi Technology one by one.

At present, although the VCD market is quite large, the share of Xiaomi Technology has dropped to 22%; the important thing is that the profit is already very small.

The current core business of Xiaomi Technology is: mobile phones and PHS. At present, Xiaomi’s mobile phones intervene between domestic counterfeit phones and international well-known brands. There are sales, but profits are not high; problem, so the development is still very slow.

Lin Zuhui asked: "A financial crisis has occurred in Asia. Have you expanded your PHS business to Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Russia, Japan and South Korea?"

You know, if there were 1 million PHS units in the mainland in the previous life, these regions and countries also had the same scale. Otherwise, how did UT Starcom have a market value of 300 billion US dollars in the previous life.

Li Luobao nodded quickly and said, "We have formulated a business plan for overseas development, and are now applying for permission from these countries!"

Lin Zuhui nodded in satisfaction. You must know that in the field of PHS communication technology, Xiaomi Technology has been cultivating for many years, and has established R&D centers in the United States, the mainland, and Japan; in terms of technical level, it is already the most advanced company in the world.

It can be said that if the mobile phone development of Xiaomi Technology is not very good before the emergence of smart phones, then PHS will become a pillar product, and it can even be said to be the most important product.

After all, Xiaomi Technology is still far behind in the competition with top brands such as Nokia and Motorola; it is only much higher than domestic copycat phones, because Xiaomi Technology's mobile phones have their own core technology and the long-established "Xiaomi" brand .

"Remember what I said, PHS products and communication technology are tens of billions of dollars of industry for Xiaomi Technology. Assuming that China has 1 million users, then there are 1 million in other overseas countries, so we must pay attention develop."

Li Luobao naturally knew the prospect of PHS, and immediately said: "Yes, Mr. Lin, don't worry, Xiaomi Technology has attached great importance to PHS technology from the very beginning, and it is definitely the world's leader now."

The current core products of Xiaomi Technology are: VCD/DVD, mobile phones, and PHS; as for telephones, U disks, etc., the current profit scale is not large.

Although MP3 was invented by Xiaomi Technology for the first time, it has no patent rights, and it has not even been popularized. won), and made MP3 famous.

But in any case, MP3 was invented by Xiaomi Technology in the second half of 1997, and it was also invented by Chinese people. This will be an honor in the future.

In terms of USB flash drives, Kingston currently collects more patent fees, and Kingston pays the most. As for product sales, it can also rank among the top five in the world, mainly because the penetration rate of domestic computers is not high.

"How is the company's financial situation?" Lin Zuhui asked with concern.

Li Luobao showed a look of admiration on his face. The founder listed Xiaomi Technology before the financial crisis. In addition, Xiaomi Technology was backed by Lin Zuhui, so it raised a lot of funds.

"The financial situation is good. Although we have invested a lot in technology research and development, we have a lot of good products, so the company still has more than 80 billion cash flow in its account. Although PHS and mobile phone business have not really developed, VCD /DVD is a bit late; however, semiconductor business, U disk business, telephone business, etc., can all provide hundreds of millions of profits.”

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "This is the model of raising war by fighting. If there are more popular electronic products, there will be more cash flow, and more research and development expenses can be spent. By the way, the mainland and the world are getting more and more in line, Then English will become more important. In my opinion, Xiaomi Technology will establish a repeater business unit. Once the policy is announced in the future, the English test will focus on oral English. This repeater will have a market of tens of millions per year and a market of billions.”

Although Xiaomi Technology is already a big business, it is a little bit to make a little money.

Li Luobao's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Okay, I will immediately arrange to set up a repeater business department."

Lin Zuhui also said: "There is also the MP3 business unit, which must pay attention to the technological revolution. It is not that there is no market in China, but that the market in the whole world has not yet arrived. To put it bluntly, MP3 will have a wider market than the Sony Walkman back then. .Xiaomi Technology can be promoted in the mainland. Although it is cheaper for later manufacturers, it has also launched our brand after all.”

Li Luobao felt that Lin Zuhui's greatest strength was not his technique, but his vision.The words that come out of his mouth are like a prophet, which makes people believe.

"Well, Mr. Lin's words are very reasonable! The MP3 business department of Xiaomi Technology has been developing technology and attaches great importance to it. We don't have to worry about software. The music software under Jinruan Software is our partner."

These have already been laid out, and of course implemented through Zou Kaixuan.

"Also, we have to find a way to acquire an LCD production line from Japan and South Korea. We have invested in this area for so many years, and it is time for real development! Even a low-generation production line is better than none. We used to When entering semiconductors, it was still low-end products, and now we can already produce mid-range products.”

"Okay, I will start to form a team and go to Japan and South Korea to seek opportunities!"

"It doesn't matter if the price is high, you have to pay the tuition!"

"Yes!"

The high-generation production line will definitely be blocked by technology, but if the low-generation production line is coupled with the impact of the financial crisis, there may not be no chance; even if there is no chance, once China joins the WTO (2001), the technological blockade will not be so strict. .

In short, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Compared with the current BOE, Xiaomi Technology is not a problem in all aspects.With stable profit income (20-30 billion Hong Kong dollars), and very promising products (mobile phone, PHS, U-disk, MP3, etc.), even if it raises funds in the stock market or issues bonds next year, there will be no problem at all.

But after Li Luobao left, Lin Zuhui smiled and said to Zou Kaixuan: "Now that you are the boss, do you feel more relaxed?"

Zou Kaixuan leaned closer to Lin Zuhui and said, "Take it easy, but I have to supervise them to implement 'You bring up the opportunity', so they will really dare to regard themselves as the boss. Of course, the two children are well taken care of, do not worry!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. Xiaomi Technology now has a lot of talents. It has not only introduced international professional managers, but also networked with big names from previous lives. It can be said that the future is bright.

National leaders visit Xiaomi Science and Technology Park every year and give them great support and evaluation.
