Chapter 26 1980 U.S. Tour

On September 18, 1979, Wanda Electronics' handheld was finally launched, and there were three styles of handheld released this time: silver-white, black, and red. Since the establishment of Wanda Electronics, through the efforts of Deng Qiang and others, now Xiangjiang and Wanwan are very stable and powerful sales channels, not all in one day, the two markets are covered with Wanda handheld electronic game consoles.

Fang Wanshan, who was promoting something, didn't ask this time, the quality of the game Fang Wanshan After sending Zhou Xingxing's classmates to Wanda, the quality also exceeded his expectations, not surprisingly, this video game detonated primary and secondary school students in the two places as soon as it was listed, although Fang Wanshan was very black-hearted and priced at 258 yuan, but it still made all the students crazy in pursuit.

By the end of September,Handheld video games began to land in Japan,This side is even more crazy,Not only small and medium-sized students,Even adults who have just entered the society are addicted almost every day,When Fang Qiang is ready to go to the United States to open up the market in October,Wanda Electronics sales of handheld computers reached 500,000 units,This is still the result of the lack of production department of the electronics factory。

Fang Qiang and they were stupid by the sales turnover of more than 100 million in the past two months, the cost of video games is that the processor is more expensive, maybe the display screen is a little more valuable, and the others are basically ignored, this is only three places and two or three months, and it will not be a banknote machine in the future.

Fang Wanshan actually doesn't know about the huge profits of electronic products, although he is a reborn person, and he is also a veteran of the industry, but he never thought that this is faster than playing stocks or other to grab money, and Fang Wanshan also knows that the biggest market cake is actually in the West, whether it is Japan, Wanwan or Xiangjiang is basically a desert.

After dealing with the matter of Vanke DreamWorks, Fang Wanshan immediately went to the United States with Fang Qiang. On this trip to the United States, Zhong Chuhong did not go with him, but Fang Wanshan brought a lot of people, which was completely worthy of a visiting group, and it was needless to say that Fang Wanshan brought Wang Jian, Wang Jing and some personnel from the operation department on the side of Vanke DreamWorks this time;

Du Zhou also graduated this year, in fact, he has passed the entrance examination of Xiangjiang and the preliminary examination of the University of Science and Technology, but Fang Wanshan is completely disdainful of the level of science and engineering universities in Xiangjiang, especially in electronics and computers, and the students of the alumni association are Fang Wanshan's confidants the most and the most loyal, this time he took advantage of this opportunity to send more than 10 top students at one time, all of whom plan to apply to study at Stanford University, and if not, they will find some universities near Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley, which is located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in the metropolitan area of northern California, USA, is now home to many local companies that are engaged in semiconductors and computers made of high-purity silicon, but they are not as well-known as later generations.

The plane arrived in San Francisco, which is also the "San Francisco" in the population of Xiangjiang, and the third sister Fang Fang, who has been coming over for two years, picked up the plane. The third sister, Fang Fang, has studied in San Francisco for a year since she was sent to the United States, and is now a first-year student at the University of San Francisco, but it cost Fang's father a lot of money.

Today's Fang Fang is not the inconspicuous little fat girl she used to be at all, oh no, it should be a fat sister.

Fang Wanshan can still see the baby fat that has just disappeared from Fang Fang's face, but his round face is now a bit of a melon seed beauty, and his dress is more fashionable, a pair of dark women's jeans, bright big eyes, after seeing the tall and thin second brother Fang Qiang, he jumped up and waved his little hand, which was still a little fat.

The relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Fang family is very interesting, Fang Wanshan has not been close to the quiet third sister since he was a child, the eldest sister and eldest brother are relatively big, and they are not very close, Fang Wanshan likes to play with the second brother and second sister, the second brother and the second sister often quarrel and look at each other unpleasantly, according to the reason, the third sister should be taken care of by the second sister, but no, she is often the second sister's punching bag, but the second brother often takes care of her and gives her some delicious food.

After receiving Fang Qiang and them, Fang Fang happily took Fang Qiang's hand and pulled him out of the airport hall, gently and lovingly introduced him to some situations in San Francisco and said some interesting things about himself.

Fang Wanshan didn't care about these either, many of his group were curious and looked at the holy place in their hearts like babies, although Fang Wanshan had never gone abroad, but he still didn't let himself show it. San Francisco in the 80s seems to Fang Wanshan to be similar to Yangcheng in the early 10s of the 21st century.

After a large group arrived at the hotel by bus, the three groups of people separated after a brief rest. Du Zhou and the others needed to stay in San Francisco, so they gave priority to live in Chinatown with the third sister and the second brother to get familiar with the environment; the second brother and the partner they promoted were looking for a Chinese American Chamber of Commerce, and they also went to Chinatown together; Fang Wanshan flew to Los Angeles with Wang Jing and Wang Jian, and this time the team was led by a member of the alumni association named Zhou Yongyi, who was the first batch of senior members sent by Fang Wanshan in 1977.

Fang Wanshan's senior membership in 77 and 78 years is not mandatory, so Zhou Yongyi learned photography, just passed the exam of the University of Southern California Film School this year, this time Fang Wanshan took Wang Jing and them to the United States for the purpose of opening up the American market, and he set up a branch of Vanke DreamWorks here.

Of course, Fang Wanshan said that he was taking them to Hollywood, and the people of Xiangjiang said Hollywood.

It was actually a long way from San Francisco to Los Angeles, about 400 kilometers, and it took them 2 hours for the plane to arrive. After arriving, the first visit was to the University of Southern California, which is located within walking distance of downtown Los Angeles, and several people got off the plane and walked around the campus the same day.

Most of the buildings are in the Romanesque style, although some buildings such as the dormitories, the College of Engineering, and the Physical Science Laboratory are modern and in contrast to most of the red brick buildings on campus, and the beautiful campus scenery is also a contrast to the urban environment outside the campus.

Wang Jing and other art practitioners were intoxicated, and although Fang Wanshan and Wang Jian did not have any artistic cells for these, they still felt the beauty and shock.

With a history of more than 100 years, USC is a private college established by local residents in Los Angeles, and is now one of the top universities in the United States, including business schools, film, communication, architecture, medicine and polytechnics. In particular, the film school has accompanied the development of the current Hollywood film industry, which has produced many prodigies in the film industry, and the most famous alumni is George Lucas, the director of the movie "Star Wars".

Fang Wanshan has heard of "Star Wars", and also knows its director George Lucas, who is the only two great directors in the world, and one remembers that he filmed "Titanic", I don't remember what it was called, but if someone mentions Fang Wanshan, they must know, just like George Lucas now.

Fang Wanshan really wanted to visit George Lucas and invest in his films, but unfortunately now they are all nobodies, and there is no channel, so now they can only secretly remember it in their hearts first.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, several people began to discuss where to go tomorrow, Wang Jing said that he was going to Hollywood, and there were some personnel from the operation department in the past, while Fang Wanshan planned to set up a branch first, so he took Zhou Yongyi and Wang Jian to a Chinese law firm the next day.

Zhang Aijun Law Firm, a very private and small law firm. In fact, you can also ask Wanda Electronics to help you set up a branch in the United States, where you have your own lawyer legal department. But Fang Wanshan came here this time just to set up a registration and put it there, and then talk about what channels are laid or invested in in the future. A lawyer who specializes in the United States is Fang Wanshan's first choice, and can also help him gather some information.

Fang Wanshan came to Chinatown located on Sunset Avenue under the introduction of Zhou Yongyi, Chinese signs can be seen everywhere on the street, a long sign clearly says Zhang Aijun Law Firm, Fang Wanshan walked in to meet the people to meet this time, Zhou Yongyi introduced the two parties in Cantonese, Zhang Aijun's English name is Qiao Di, is a Chinese immigrant of the second generation, ancestral home in eastern Guangdong, about 30 years old professional woman.

Zhang Aijun was not surprised by Fang Wanshan's youth, and asked very enthusiastically and skillfully about the business scope of Fang Wanshan's registered company, and after Fang Wanshan communicated with her, Zhang Aijun began to act. The company was registered very quickly, and on the second day of going to visit the American Film Guild with Zhou Yongyi, Zhang Aijun informed Zhou Yongyi that DreamWorks had been registered.

On the third day, after Wang Jing and they all returned to the hotel, Zhang Aijun came to the hotel where Fang Wanshan stayed and sent him the company's documents, this time Fang Wanshan did not let her leave immediately, and appointed Zhou Yongyi as the person in charge here, and selected two fellow marketing personnel to be stationed in Los Angeles, and put forward the intention of long-term cooperation with Zhang Aijun's law firm.

Zhang Aijun agreed without much consideration, and after Fang Wanshan asked Zhou Yongyi to help collect some films that needed to be prepared for filming and befriended some directors, things were basically done in Los Angeles.

On October 26, 1979, Fang Wanshan and the others flew back to San Francisco, and the second brother Fang Qiang and they were not here. During the assembly, Fang Wanshan inadvertently revealed to them some of his prospects for the future computer Internet, hoping that they would learn the knowledge of electronic networks.

As for the famous Silicon Valley, Fang Wanshan didn't go, but Stanford University visited it by the way, but unfortunately he didn't meet the well-known masters in later generations.
