I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 510, fighting in the arena

Bald Eagle, in a large villa estate on the outskirts of the Big Apple, New York.

Several fat-bellied white men sat together, smoking top-quality cigars from Cuba and drinking top-quality wine produced in their own estates. Next to them sat several super-fit models, puffing away smoke and chatting about the most filthy and obscene things. thing.

The so-called upper class society, under the luxurious and glamorous appearance, is extremely primitive and rough on the inside.

It seems that he has been pretending in public for too long, so in private, he needs to be more unbridled and arrogant to vent his dissatisfaction and desires.

"Why does that yellow monkey always make money? Supermodel underwear show? God, he has made more than a billion dollars."

"We have already researched the VCD player and are preparing to launch it in June. But now the other party has lowered the price in this market. What should we do?"

"I haven't made any money at all. The stock prices of the VCD rental companies I invested in have plummeted."

"No, it's just a promotion for VCD players. Why did the stock price of the disc rental company fall?"

"Who knows? Maybe investors have lost confidence?"

"No, there must be other ways, such as some more advanced and better technological products."

The capitalists are chatting. Although they are very envious and envious of making a lot of money for many years, they have not taken any other actions at the moment.

The most important thing is that it is beyond reach.

And companies like Huimin Supermarket, because they are deeply rooted in Bald Eagle, have very good relationships with many members of the two major chambers of Congress.

Even the general manager is willing to protect Huimin Supermarket.

As a result, capitalists cannot use such means to build Huimin Supermarket.

Other capitalists have tried to suppress Apple before, but the results were naturally unsatisfactory.

Apple is not adamant, but it hasn't given in either.

On the contrary, the capitalists behind the scenes, such as Lehman Brothers, the banking system and other related companies, have all undergone surgical aortic surgery.

Anyway, there were heavy casualties. From last year to now, there has been no relief.

Therefore, today's bald eagle capitalists are of course relatively honest.

Otherwise, I really don’t know who I would have operated on again in many years.

Time has entered June, and last month’s VCD player sales results have come out.

More than 10 million units have been sold in the mainland, and more than 40 million units have been sold in Bald Eagle.

Although the profit is not high, the profit per unit is only fifty dollars.

Even if this is the case, it is also earned with blood.

In June, a bidding meeting for VCD player technology licensing was held on Hong Kong Island.

When the tender meeting first appeared, Bai Doufu ran home and found her father:

"Dad, I want that VCD player technology."

"What do you want it for? A technology destined to be left behind."

He said without raising his head for many years.

At this time, he was teaching the little guy Xu Shanhe to write. The little guy wanted to look up at his aunt, but was patted by his grandfather, so he quickly lowered his head and continued to write seriously.

"Why is it a technology destined to fall behind?"

Bai Doufu was very puzzled. You must know that VCD technology has only been around for a short time, which is more than a year and less than two years.

As a result, her father evaluated it as a technology destined to be backward. Why is this?

"Because your father and I already have better alternative technology, so we don't need it anymore, do you understand?"

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go out first. Don't disturb me when I teach the child to practice calligraphy. He is distracted."

Seeing his old father rushing him out impatiently, Bai Doufu pouted, turned around and went out.

During dinner, Bai Doufu directly pestered her father and insisted on asking what the new technology was.

Her words also aroused the little one's curiosity.

In fact, he has been developing nuclear power plants and developing industries related to nuclear energy.

For example, there has been no progress in the super-large project of controllable nuclear fusion.

It is true that there is no progress at all. It is still on the surface of the laboratory and the technical information is not very complete, let alone building a small sun.

So he was a little discouraged and wanted to see if there were any other relatively easy small technical projects.

Preferably other small projects that can promote progress in controlled nuclear fusion projects.

But it was obvious that his father was only talking about technologies related to VCD.

This thing is indeed very profitable, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with anything else.

There is no force!

So the little one just listened for a while and stopped listening.

But for white tofu, DVD is really good and has more market prospects.

After hearing this for many years, I saw that she seemed to be very interested in this. She pondered for a moment and suddenly said:

"Well, you don't have to work on these technologies. I'll give you another mobile phone technology. From now on, you can compete with Apple. How about it?"

what?

His words not only made Bai Doufu open his mouth, but he didn't know how to react.

It also made Qin Huairu, Xiao Bu Dian, He Minhong, Jing Geer and others stunned. What is it like to fight in the ring?

Jing Ge'er, who has been quiet for a while, has only listened with his ears and never participated in every time he heard his father talking about business matters recently.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand this.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why his father had such strong self-confidence. Is DVD necessarily better than VCD?

A new product does not necessarily mean that it can replace the old product because of its superior technology.

It requires a process, and this process may take ten years or even longer.

In this process, maybe old products can earn a lot of profits.

However, his father simply gave up on the VCD player product, which had only been around for less than two years.

Perhaps his father made a lot of money and had a very different vision, which caused him to look down on the profit.

In fact, Brother Jing's guess was right, but it could only be said to be half right.

The price of VCD players has dropped. On the surface, the beneficiaries are of course ordinary consumers.

But they don't know that for many years they have wanted to promote China Entertainment's movies.

And if more ordinary consumers can afford VCD players, then more people will buy or rent those discs.

Starting from the late 1960s, throughout the 1970s, many movies were released on Hong Kong Island.

Coupled with the channels of PolyGram Group, many celebrities on Hong Kong Island are almost international superstars.

In other words, Hong Kong Island is more interconnected with the rest of the world.

There are so many movies, especially Kung Fu movies, there are no less than 500. Among them, even if there are only ten masterpieces every year, after more than ten years, there will be more than 100 movies.

Not to mention the golden signature of Bruce Lee, so the kung fu movie genre alone is the most powerful category among all China Entertainment movies.

Other comedies, dramas and other films may not have better development prospects overseas.

Even if this is the case, Huayu movies can also be promoted around the world.

After controlling these channels for many years, I can make a lot of money just by renting or selling these CDs.

"Dad, why? PHS and Apple are the same company. Why do they have to compete in the ring?"

Bai Doufu was puzzled, but he laughed and said:

"To put it simply, the mobile phone market is too big. It can accommodate both Apple and PHS, and it can even accommodate more mobile phone companies."

"Then becoming a competitor can allow mobile phone companies to maintain the momentum of always competing for the first place."

"After Apple has been the boss for so many years, it's time to give up its leadership position. You may not know that the arrogance within the company has almost reached its peak."

"In addition to the PHS company you are managing now, I will also set up a Huaxing company in the mainland."

hiss!

After hearing the words of many years ago, the family couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Although no one quite understands why he would do this.

But it sounds reasonable, and this big move will have an extraordinary impact on the future mobile phone market structure.

In fact, it is true.

The reason why we have arranged this for many years is not a whim, but a long-term preparation.

To say it today is just to follow the trend. Whether it is VCD or MP3, they will be thrown out of the market one after another in the next period of time.

At this time, innovation at the mobile phone level should also start.

With the gradual disappearance of Heping Island, scientific and technological research power has begun to be transferred to Xintiandi Square over the years.

In the R&D center of the Rolls-Royce Group, in the mobile phone R&D base of Apple, in the R&D headquarters of several other companies, etc.

There are many talents here who have been attracted and recruited from Heping Island, Bald Eagle, Europe, Tokyo and other places over the years.

It can be said that these are the future.

At this time, he should also start the smartphone era.

In addition, supercomputers should also accelerate their progress and can no longer stand still.

By the time we reached the 1980s, many things needed to be developed.

For example, deep violet and extreme violet light source photolithography machine technology, milling cutters, high-end bearing steel, epoxy resin, etc.

These are extremely cutting-edge technologies that require a huge amount of manpower and material resources to support.

The current time and space has undergone extremely different changes from the history of the original time and space.

Therefore, if he wants to stay ahead, he must lay a solid foundation and stabilize his basic base.

The mobile phone market is the most basic market in the future information age, and this is definitely a market that cannot be lost.

Bai Doufu agreed, saying that she would lead PHS to defeat Apple and ascend to the throne of the mobile phone market.

He said with a smile for many years:

"Then you have to work hard. If you want to defeat Apple, it takes more than just one technology."

"Dad, you favor one over the other!"

Brother Jing next to him could no longer remain calm and looked at his father with great resentment.

"Tell me, why do I favor one over the other?" Looking at his son for many years, he asked a rhetorical question, which left him speechless.

When PHS was first established, it did not provide technology for many years.

He had originally advised Brother Jing about the shortcomings of PHS cell phone technology.

In the end, he had to break through the southern wall, which was okay. After all, Brother Jing himself had indeed succeeded.

It's a pity that my heart is so swollen that I can't distinguish between company accounts and personal accounts.

Or maybe he knew it was wrong and illegal, but he still did it.

So who can be blamed for being sent off and going to HKU to reflect on his mistakes?

The law is the lower limit of a person's standard, and the upper limit is morality.

For many years I have not asked Brother Jing and these children to have such noble morals, but they must not be tolerated to trample on the law.

If a person dares to trample on the law, it is really impossible to predict what kind of things he will do.

Especially since this person has huge financial resources and energy, once he really goes crazy, the damage caused will be absolutely devastating.

Seeing that Brother Jing was speechless, he didn't press him for many years, but smiled and said:

"You children, I have never treated you badly, so don't say that I favor one over the other. Each of you has a balance in your own heart, and you know in your heart how your mother and I treat you."

"Our family has such a big business, but we still can't find a decent successor. I didn't say anything, so you all think that I, the father, am biased, right?"

"The two younger ones, Yuan Tong and Yuan Xi, are not yet one year old. When they become adults, you will be almost forty years old."

"It's too early to say who will inherit my family business in the future, so from now on, don't talk about favoring one over another, and be content with what you have."

"These extravagant wealth will not be taken away even if you live or die. If you make the family very upset because of this money, I am afraid that I will not be able to beat you with my bamboo stick, right?"

After hearing what Duan Nian said, Qin Huairu quickly pulled him.

Brother Jing stood up and apologized immediately, and the children Xiao Bu Dian, Bai Dou Fu and Hot Wheels also stood up to persuade and express their opinions actively.

Everyone in the family knows how good their father's health is.

Not running every day, but definitely exercising every day.

Boxing, basketball, running, etc., there is no sport that he can't do.

Although I insist on doing this every day, it will not be excessive.

What's more, he himself is a Chinese medicine practitioner with excellent medical skills and a good understanding of his own body.

Not to mention, occasionally he would ask Xiaodou Bao and Xiao Tuanzi to take his pulse, or ask his master to help take his pulse.

When Chinese medicine takes the pulse, it will be clear even if what was done the day before yesterday.

"Okay, you all sit down, don't scare Xiao and the others."

Even after many years, his face is still gentle and not lifeless:

"You have all grown up and have your own ideas. I won't force you to do anything, but in this family, you still have to listen to me."

"Don't do anything illegal or criminal, and don't think you did these things. I don't know, haha!"

"Anyway, I haven't used a stick against you for a long time. I hope you don't let me break my precepts."

Brother Jing suddenly became excited and thought that he was really lucky last time.

Compared to studying law at the University of Hong Kong, being beaten by his father with a stick would only be worse.

Although last time he was taught a lesson by his three sisters, and his whole body was covered with plaster.

But it was much better than being beaten by his father.

I still remember that when his father beat him when he was a child, he did not spare any effort and beat him to death.

"Grandpa, I promise I won't let you have the chance to hit me."

At this time, Xu Shanhe responded obediently, and Xu Shanyou also echoed.

Many years laughed and looked at the two little guys kindly:

"That's fine, but if you don't obey me, then I will beat your father, and then your father will beat you."

The two little guys shook their heads quickly, how could they dare to be disobedient?

Xu Yi, who had been silent all this time, gave her father a piece of meat:

"Dad, let's eat. The food is cold."

"Okay, you guys also want to eat."

After dinner, the whole family didn't eat much, and it was probably difficult to digest what they had just said many years ago.

Suddenly, Bai Doufu began drastic reforms and immediately recruited a large number of technicians.

She had squandered all the company's profits in the first half of this year, and this time she wanted to make some splash.

In Baiyun New City, a building in the central business district of Baiyun City, a Huaxing company was quietly registered here.

Recruitment began in June, not only looking for talents from the mainland, but also recruiting a large number of talents from foreign countries.

The most talented people come from Hong Kong Island.

Because this is a joint venture.

The leaders of Baiyun City soon learned about the latest big moves in these many years. They immediately sent people to ask if they wanted a factory building?

In response, the person in charge of Huaxing Company said that a factory has been built in Xishui Village and is no longer needed for the time being.

Over in Xishui Village, many factories have been built over the years, and they can be put to good use now.

As for recruiting workers, it's not too urgent.

There are so many projects to start, and it is impossible to keep an eye on these companies for many years. After all, he enjoys retirement life more.

Only when he has a whim, he will occasionally take a look.

The changes in the mobile phone market have little impact on ordinary people.

Throughout May and June, what everyone liked more was the plummeting price of VCDs.

At the audio-visual disc factory in Xishui Village, the emergence of DVD was something that the workers collectively did not expect.

They have all signed confidentiality contracts and cannot disclose these things to the outside world.

Although no one knows the difference between this DVD and VCD, we are just wage earners and just work hard. Why do we think so much?

In the factory, Alian, as a supervisor, had another exhausting day.

Management does not just sit and stare at people. On the contrary, they have more work to do.

Data reporting, cost control, workshop safety, etc., the entire workshop is so big and manages hundreds of people, how can it be simple?
