The APEC meeting has ended, but Brunei's major attractions are lively.

Shen Si, dressed in traditional Bruneian women's clothing, stood at the gate of the crystal park, looked up and said, "This crystal really weighs 4.5 tons?"

Song Weiyang craned his neck and said with a careful estimate: "This crystal is about 2 cubic meters, and if the density of the crystal is twice that of water, it will weigh almost 4 tons." He turned his head again and asked Shen Fuxing, "Fuxing, you are a science student, do you remember what the crystal density is?"

Shen Fuxing corrected: "I'm an engineering student!"

Yang Xin said with a smile: "It's all the same, science and engineering are not separated." ”

Shen Fuxing shook his head and said, "Who has nothing to remember the crystal density." I guess it's true, the king of Brunei doesn't need to falsify the data, and he doesn't lack the park's ticket income. ”

Brunei Crystal Park, also known as Jarudong Park, was officially opened in 1994 and cost more than US$1 billion to build. It is said that when the King of Brunei was 48 years old, the princess gave him a 4.5-ton crystal, and the king was very happy and built a crystal park for the whole country to share happiness.

I have to say, this king is really a thief, 1 billion dollars in the early 90s. At that time, China's foreign exchange reserves were less than $20 billion, and people directly used $1 billion to repair gardens.

Don't say that this is developing tourism, it is purely the king enjoying himself with the people.

When the Crystal Park was built, Brunei didn't pay much attention to the tourism industry. Even in 2000, Brunei had fewer than 100,000 tourists a year, and the country did not even have a tourism authority, and it would be a few years before a tourism authority was formed.

On the contrary, due to the improvement of per capita living standards, Brunei farmers have abandoned their original floating villages and moved into new modern houses. This led to the rapid development of the construction industry, the powerful have become urban real estate developers, and many Brunei Chinese have become builders, and the township construction is almost monopolized by the Chinese.

Everyone walked into the park for a tour, and Shen Fuxing suddenly said: "I talked to the entrepreneurs who came to the meeting this time, and Shenzhou Technology doesn't want to sell computers to Southeast Asia at all." ”

Song Weiyang really didn't know, and asked, "Why?"

Shen Fuxing said with a wry smile: "Because Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines have more complete and cheaper electronic components than China, as well as Malaysia and India Clay, electronic devices are one of their main export commodities. High-end computer brands, they will definitely choose American brands, low-end computer brands, they will choose crooked brands, and the assembly machine is unimaginably cheap. ”

"It seems that we have to wait for China to join the WTO. Song Weiyang sighed.

Before China's accession to the WTO, there were still many restrictions on China's foreign investment in the electronics industry, so many multinational companies chose to build foundries in Southeast Asia. After China's accession to the WTO, restrictions were relaxed little by little, and brands from all over the world came to China to invest and build factories. Relying on preferential policies, cheap manpower, and a vast market, China has rapidly developed into the world's factory, but has suppressed the relevant industries in Southeast Asia, and even finally sold electronic products back to Southeast Asia.

Shen Fuxing said quite confidently: "However, Southeast Asian countries are not worried, except for Singapore, other countries are all foundries, and there is no independent research and development capability at all, and they cannot launch their own local brands." When China's side develops, sooner or later it will be able to kill the past, and now we should gain a firm foothold in China, instead of rushing to expand overseas, we have considered it a little unrealistic. ”

This can only show that China's overall industrial strength is not enough, otherwise it can bypass Lenovo's hegemony in China and go directly to foreign flowers.

Just like "OnePlus mobile phone", it can't compete with brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi in China, and people go directly to overseas development. As a result, few people know about this brand in China, but it has a good reputation and sales in overseas markets. When OnePlus released its new product, it held activities in more than 10 cities around the world, such as New York, Paris, Berlin, London, and Bangalore.

It can only be said that the people who go out of the backgammon department are all cattle, and the founder of OnePlus mobile phone is the former vice president of OPPO.

"As for the coffee house in front, I made an appointment with Mr. Du. Shen Fuxing suddenly pointed ahead and said.

Song Weiyang led the team into the café, and a Chinese man who was nearly half a hundred years old stood up. He was slender and long, with a slender face, with a pair of rimless glasses, and he shook hands with Song Weiyang and said, "Boss Song, I have admired the name for a long time, and I have always wanted to communicate with you face-to-face." ”

"Where, Mr. Du is the senior, and we need to be more supportive. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Du Jichuan, the founder of Kingston, was born in mainland China and grew up.

This gentleman has loved music since he was a child, and in high school he created the first student band with a good level of guitar and drum kit. Because he was addicted to his music dream, he skipped too many classes, and after being persuaded to quit by many high schools, he was still in his first year of high school. The parents had a headache about this and wanted to follow the example of Meng Musan to immigrate to the United States, but they could not apply for a green card because they did not graduate from high school. It may be that his parents were too strict, so he actually smuggled to Gangcheng on a small sampan and obtained a Gangcheng resident certificate as a mainland refugee.

His parents were about to be blown up, but they had no choice but to send living expenses over, and by the way, they also helped him contact the school in Port City. Du Jichuan was still playing music when he was in high school in Hong Kong City, and his academic performance was so bad that he finally waited until he graduated from high school, and his parents immediately sent him to Germany to study mechanical and electrical engineering.

The family's financial resources are also limited, and after Du Jichuan arrived in Germany, he really realized the difficulties of life, and he had to make a living by washing dishes in a restaurant opened by a relative's house, and finally began to study hard. After living in Germany for ten years, he chose to immigrate to the United States, where he had difficulty finding a job and had to make ends meet by selling real estate.

Later, Du Jichuan met David Sun, and the two started a company together. They are all small and rich personalities, thinking that $1 million is enough to spend, so when a large company comes to buy, they agree to sell without much thought, and each of them shares $3 million. At that time, the U.S. stock market was hot, and they invested all their money in the stock market, but they encountered a major stock market crash in '87, and they lost all their money and paid off more than $1 million in debt.

These two brothers and sisters didn't dare to tell the truth to their families, and they went out to work on time every day, but they actually met to chat in a café. They scraped together $2,000 and co-founded what would become known as Kingston.

"We have already applied for a USB flash drive patent, and it can be found in the US Patent Office," Shen Fuxing said, "I hope Kingston can abide by the laws of business and stop the infringement of USB flash drive patents." ”

Du Jichuan said with a smile: "Of course, Kingston is a law-abiding company, and I came here to discuss solutions." Kingston doesn't need to break the law to make money, and I don't take money very seriously, and I haven't received any letter from your company before. I made a transatlantic phone call back to the United States last night, and I already knew what had happened, and it was a person in charge of Kingston who withheld the letter. ”

"I believe that Mr. Du's reputation for scattered wealth has long been well-known in the world. Song Weiyang said with a smile.

Four years ago, Mr. Son bought 80 percent of Kingston's shares, and Mr. Du gave $100 million to employees. This move made Kingston famous, and it became a company that countless young Americans wanted, and its product sales grew wildly.

Son's assets shrank this year due to the dot-com bubble, and he had to sell the company everywhere to raise money, and Kingston took the opportunity to buy all the shares back.

Du Jichuan said: "The patent licensing fee in the United States is usually 0.5%, and some core technology patents can reach more than 1%. USB flash drive patents are not complicated, I hope to deal with them according to the normal market, Kingston is willing to pay the USB flash drive royalty at a rate of 0.5%. ”

Shen Fuxing smiled: "We only need 0.3%. ”

Du Jichuan was quite surprised: "There are still companies that make too little money?

Shen Fuxing said: "We hope that Kingston can join the USB flash drive patent alliance and sue those infringing companies, such as the second best-selling USB flash drive in the United States! This is also beneficial to Kingston, if the company continues to infringe, then its USB flash drive cost will be lower, more competitive than Kingston's USB flash drive." ”

Du Jichuan blinked, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, you can't let Bien Weibai take advantage." However, the cost of the lawsuit needs to be paid by Shenzhou Technology, and Kingston only assists when necessary, and always stands on the side of Shenzhou Technology morally. ”

Song Weiyang said: "No problem, Kingston, the No. 1 selling USB flash drive in the United States, stands up to speak, which will definitely be able to influence the judge's decision, and the speed of the lawsuit is much faster." ”

Shen Fuxing immediately called back to China, preparing to sue Bienwei and domestic infringing brands on the one hand, and also contacted the media to publicize it.
