In the spring of 99 years, Zhao Song Group began a large-scale expansion against the market, especially began to participate in the acquisition of bankrupt enterprises in Southeast Asia on a large scale, a large number of equipment has been dismantled and transported back to a certain place in the mainland and participated in the transformation of many enterprises in the form of project investment, the equipment level of many enterprises has suddenly increased to the level of the early eighties, and a small number of management personnel sent by the port city to carry out modern enterprise management thinking culture, with the transformation of enterprises is not only equipment, but also enterprise management and thinking.

The first batch of investment was about 200 million yen, and it was allocated to more than 20 project companies, which were basically small foods, small gifts, small toys, and small daily necessities that no one else paid much attention to...... , strictly implement the export ratio of some products, mainly corresponding to the super convenience stores acquired and invested by foreign Zhao Song Group abroad, as well as some self-built channels, such as community convenience stores in Australia.

All branches of Zhaosong Group have begun to participate in the construction of hypermarkets and community convenience stores, and the preliminary design is to set up more than 500 super supermarkets and more than 10,000 community convenience stores within 10 years. Every year, 50% of the Group's profits are invested, and the talent pool is mainly provided by the port city and the mainland, and the grassroots management adopts a localized employee model.

In addition to the reserve fund of $1 billion, all companies have begun to expand rapidly.

In addition to the large-scale expansion of employees in domestic software companies, they also take advantage of price advantages to contract business abroad on a large scale. Invested in many projects in domestic Internet projects, especially a certain Q, and several web portals, and even invested in a computer Internet industrial park in Haishi, but encountered failure when investing in a certain treasure, the reason was that Zhao Song Group's influence overseas was not enough! This also let Zhao Hong know that some opportunities still have a variety of unspoken reasons, and money is really not omnipotent in many aspects!

In addition to taking care of Guo Yi in Hong Kong City, Zhao Hong also runs the business of the group company. At the end of April, I went to country M to visit Xiao Wanting, and by the way, I participated in the opening ceremony of a company's listing on NASDAQ!

Looking at the recovery of dozens of times the investment project, Zhao Hong and Xiao Wanting are very satisfied. Zhao Hong stayed in country M for more than a month, on the one hand, to take care of Xiao Wanting, and on the other hand, to entertain with the two children. The two little ones who are more than four years old are the cutest time, they have just started their own adventures, they are full of curiosity about the outside world, and every day in addition to going out to play, the rest of the time the two children have become curious babies, constantly asking all kinds of questions. Not only did he have a little headache, and some of the questions didn't know how to explain, but he was also very happy that the children were very eager to learn.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but ask Xiao Wanting with some curiosity, "Do children usually like to ask questions like this?"

She also said a little funny, "How can you be like this every day? Isn't this what they just got with you? You don't notice that it's all the creek behind you, and the sea in front! Your daughter is very careful......!

"Isn't the creek a little precocious? How is the sea? Isn't it time for them to go to kindergarten, it's more than four years old!"

He couldn't help but think a little about his child's education.

Xiao Wanting was happy, and said indifferently, "My parents and I have also thought about this issue for a long time, but the child is now in the stage of consolidating Chinese, and when the school age is reached, go to school directly!

……

After the two discussed the issue of children, they naturally began to talk about the economy of country M, Silicon Valley and the development of the company.

In addition to Intel, HP, Lucent, Apple and other large companies in Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley integrates science, technology and production. At present, there are more than 10,000 large and small electronics industry companies in Silicon Valley, and the semiconductor integrated circuits and electronic computers produced account for about 1/3 and 1/6 of the United States. After the 80s, research institutions for emerging technologies such as biology, space, ocean, communications, and energy materials have emerged, and the region has objectively become the cradle of high-tech in country M, and now Silicon Valley has become synonymous with semiconductor industry clusters in countries around the world.

Silicon Valley's high-tech is changing with each passing day, reaching a new level in an average of 18 months, and its economy has continued to boom over the years, and it is estimated that Silicon Valley's turnover in 1999 will reach about $250 billion to $300 billion. In 1998, the per capita annual salary in Silicon Valley reached 96,000 dollars, and in 1999 it is expected to exceed 100,000 dollars, and a graduate of a prestigious university in country M earns no less than $60,000 a year in Silicon Valley, which is 10,000 or 20,000 dollars higher than that in other regions. Now the whole world knows that it is common to become a millionaire or multi-millionaire overnight in Silicon Valley, and even a billionaire is not impossible. In Silicon Valley, knowledge is work, knowledge is wealth, and for all tech employees, in addition to completing their daily work, knowledge updating is also a compulsory course. In order to keep up with the rapid development of high and new technology, everyone has to forget to sleep and eat, and work and study more than 12 hours a day.

At present, there are more than 1 million scientific and technological personnel from all over the country and all over the world, nearly 1,000 academicians of the Academy of Sciences of country M are working in Silicon Valley, and more than 30 scientists have won the Nobel Prize. Silicon Valley is a holy place for young people in country M, and it is also an arena and gold rush for students from all over the world. Professor Zhu Qingshi, president of the University of Science and Technology of China, said in a recent interview with reporters that "half of the graduates of Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology, and Peking University of Science and Technology have gone out sooner or later." Evran Iritani, a writer for the Los Angeles Times, said: "If you look at the list of employees of Silicon Valley companies, you will find countless Tsinghua graduates." They are part of the thousands of outstanding Chinese scientific and technological talents who have come to country M to seek engineering breakthroughs, show their skills in the field of the Internet, or start businesses in science and technology. In fact, there are more than 2,000 Chinese-controlled Silicon Valley companies, accounting for one-fifth of Silicon Valley companies, and more and more Chinese from Chinese mainland.

Xiao Wanting's company has also participated in the investment of many Chinese companies, and most of them have achieved good returns and have a good reputation in the Chinese circle, especially they do not pursue holding and rarely participate in management other than finance, which is welcomed by many entrepreneurs! But after all, the time is relatively short, and the time to achieve success and harvest is far from enough.

Xiao Wanting said helplessly, "I have been operating hard in country M for a few years, and I didn't make as much money as you did last year!

Zhao Hong can only be happy, "This is the difference between investment and speculation, investment companies and projects seek long-term development and interests." Speculation is a short-term opportunity, perhaps an opportunity that has not been harvested for several years, and if there is an opportunity, it will naturally make a lot of money! Moreover, speculation can only be temporary, and investment is a lifetime. So my speculation looks more exciting, but in the long run, investment is king!"

Xiao Wanting was also a little relieved, and said with a smile, "We're worried in vain! Guo Yi and I have always been a little worried that your speculation like last time will continue to be more, in case there is a case, it will be very dangerous!"

He also smiled and said, "How can I be so crazy? Speculation is temporary, and there are not many opportunities, and there are not many people who can participate, and some things clearly know what is going on, but if there is no strong backing, there is no chance of ending up at all! I am just a soy sauce player! I just eat and drink something!"

The days are very warm, two people are rarely reunited together, and when they have time on the weekend, they will take the children and the elderly to go out to eat together, and travel by the way, and Zhao Hong is of course trying to show the role of a model husband, love Xiao Wanting, and take care of the children!

At the end of June, Zhao Hong was ready to leave country M and go home to visit his parents.

When leaving, Xiao Wanting and the children were also reluctant, and Xiao's father and Xiao's mother also told a lot, especially when Zhao Hong went back this time to take the children's grandparents to visit, many old people need to pay attention to a lot of things. Even Xiao's mother made a small manual for him to refer to.
