Chapter 205: Summary

"Get up, Assistant Ke's phone!" Li Zhi pushed the man who was still sleeping on the bed.

Li Xuan was woken up by Li Zhi, opened his eyes in a daze, and was greeted by two huge and plump meat balls, the beauty was half-bent, and the loose pink pajamas hung down on her chest, revealing the scenery inside. As her body shook slightly, the two huge white rabbits also shook and trembled, and the temptation made him completely sleepy.

It is said that men are oxen, women are land, and there is no land that is spoiled, only cows that are tired to death. The two fought fiercely until midnight last night, and the goblin in front of them was now white and red, with a radiant and moving appearance, and there was no fatigue at all. And Li Xuan woke up from sleep, still with some backache, looking at the beauty's charming and seductive demeanor, but he was powerless.

"Who did you just say called early in the morning?" Li Xuan stretched out his hand and gently twisted a soft hemisphere.

"It's almost noon, it's still early!Don't make a fuss, Assistant Ke is looking for you in a hurry, hurry up and answer the phone!" Li Zhi slapped Li Xuan's palm off and pulled him up from the bed.

"Sir, there has just been a call from the Governor's Palace, and Sir MacLehose has invited you to dinner to-night!" reported Chrillan on the other end of the line.

The Governor's Mansion called the headquarters of Dongfang Electronics at half past nine, and Ke Lilun waited until ten o'clock to see that his boss had not come to work, and he couldn't guess when Li Xuan would come, but the Governor's Mansion was still waiting for a reply, so he had to take the initiative to contact his boss.

Of course, he called Li Xuan's driver and bodyguard first, and asked Chu Li where he slept last night before calling Miss Li. In fact, everyone around Li Xuan knows the relationship between Lizhi and the boss, but everyone who shouldn't say it will never talk nonsense. Zhong Chuhong, the real girlfriend, seems to have broken the jar against Li Xuan recently. Some let it go, as long as Liji doesn't show up in front of her and annoy people.

"Return to the Governor's Palace. I'll be here on time in the evening!" Li Xuan hung up the phone, a smile on the corner of his mouth. It seems that last night's "Qiang Qiang Threesome" worked well.

"Look at your bad smile, I don't know who you're calculating!" Lizhi brought for breakfast a bowl of red bean porridge that she cooked herself.

"Am I so unbearable?" Li Xuan said dissatisfiedly, "Why is it red bean porridge again?"

"Drinking more red bean porridge can nourish qi and replenish blood!" Li Zhi is like a caring little girl, personally feeding the rice to his mouth, "Don't eat fried things in the morning, it's too greasy and not good for the stomach!"

Li Xuan likes to eat spring rolls for breakfast, but he is not too cold to sweets: "I need to replenish my kidneys, I don't need to replenish my blood, I was almost squeezed dry by you last night!"

Lizhi gave him a shy look. Li Xuan spent more time by Zhong Chuhong's side. To say that she has no idea in her heart must be false, when Li Xuan sleeps with her, she naturally has to seize the opportunity and do everything possible to show her charm so that she can hook a man's heart to her side.

The fragrance of red sleeves is just the spice of life, and the focus of men is still on their careers. There was an important meeting in the afternoon, which Li Xuan had to attend, that is, the senior managers meeting of the Oriental Group.

This is the highest decision-making committee within the Oriental Company, and includes Albert Hawke, President of Icon. John Martin, President of Computer Park, Du Wenqiang, President of Oriental Game Company, He Guoyuan, President of Oriental Software Company, Huang Xizhao, Chairman of ATV Television, Zhang Zhongmou, President of Oriental Semiconductor Company, Zhao Weiming, Vice President of Oriental Research Institute, Huo Qiuxing, President of Oriental Economic Research Institute, Yang Lingjun, President of Jiahua Bank, Han Peng, President of Oriental Commercial Affairs, and Li Xuan himself.

These eleven people can be said to be the core decision-making level of the entire Eastern system. Originally, Li Xuan's plan was to hold a senior management meeting in Hong Kong every six months. But given the pace of globalization at the Eastern Group, with subsidiaries in Europe, North America and Asia, it takes more than a dozen hours for overseas-based executives to fly to Hong Kong. If you count the time of the meeting, it will take at least three days.

So Li Xuan held a meeting in Hong Kong once a quarter instead. Instead, a semi-monthly conference call is held to communicate and communicate. Quarterly meetings are naturally a top priority. It will determine the strategic direction of Dongfang Company in the next period of time.

Martin and Hawke both flew to Hong Kong in the middle of the night last night, so Li Xuan deliberately postponed the meeting to the afternoon in order to take care of the two of them. The topic of this afternoon's meeting was the reporting of the previous quarter's operations by each company.

"We really had a lot of trouble in the past few months, the ABC series of computers were infringed by IBM, the FC game console was banned by Atari, and the "Kung Fu" arcade machine that was just launched not long ago was accused of having a 'bloody and violent' tendency in Japan!

In my opinion, these troubles are precisely the manifestation of the prosperity of the entire company, which means that Dongfang Electronics Company is no longer the fledgling nobody it used to be, and its opponents have finally begun to pay attention to us, ready to seize an opportunity to knock us to the ground!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

He is still very satisfied with the recent performance of the Oriental Group, and the stock price of Aikang Company fluctuated and fell after the patent infringement turmoil. However, the company's management responded appropriately, not only organizing a luxury team of lawyers in the United States to respond to the lawsuit, but also taking advantage of this incident to start a new round of publicity and marketing around the world. Following the latest quarterly financial statements, Elcon's share price has risen to 1,480p per share and is on track to break the £15 mark soon.

In the first three quarters of 1981, the total sales of all models of the ABC series of computers reached 450,000 units, and the total revenue reached 350 million pounds. Aikang has gradually left Apple and become the new leader of the microcomputer industry. Dongfang Software Company also took advantage of the hot sales of ABC computers, and its total sales exceeded $1.2 in the first three quarters of this year.

Oriental Game Company's report is even better, from January to September, the total sales of arcade machines reached 315,000 units, Gameboy handheld sales reached 21 million units, and FC game console sales also exceeded 550,000 units, and then counting the sales of various game cards and game floppy disks, the total sales of Oriental Games Company were 820 million US dollars.

Of course, after a series of financial operations, most of the profits of Oriental Game Company have been intercepted by overseas offshore companies, and Hong Kong's industrial tax rate is not high, but even so, the tax contribution of Oriental Game Company to Hong Kong's finance is still as high as hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Aikang Company is a listed company, and no matter how beautiful the revenue is, Li Xuan can't get it in his hands, and it can only be reflected in the increase in his nominal assets in the stock price, but in fact, it can't be seen and touched. But what Oriental Games has in hand is real money. It can be said that except for Oriental Game Company and Oriental Software Company, most of the other companies under the name of Oriental are losing money.

Among them, the two companies that eat the most money are Dongfang Semiconductor and Computer Park. After Zhang Zhongmou took over Dongfang Semiconductor, he quickly completed the technical transformation of the three wafer fabs it acquired, and now two of them are responsible for the production of ERM-1 processors and the other for the production of 6502 processors. Fab attendance in the 80s was nowhere near as high as it was 30 years later, and equipment maintenance was a common problem.

Therefore, a new chip needs to be produced by at least two fabs at the same time to ensure that the supply will not be stopped due to unexpected circumstances. Although the ABC-1 and ABC-2 using the 6502 processor are sold more in the ABC series of computers, the purchase volume of the 6502 processor is also larger.

However, Dongfang Semiconductor still has to come up with more capacity to produce ERM-1 processors. Because for a chip that has just been problematic, once there is a problem with the production capacity in the early stage, the promotion of the chip will encounter greater difficulties. Under the demonstration role of the ABC-3 computer of Aikang, a number of company computer companies have begun to develop 32-bit personal computers based on ERM-1 processors. It is believed that a large number of ABC-3 compatible machines will appear in the market from next year, and that is when Dongfang Semiconductor and Dongfang Software will really rise.

Zhang Zhongmou is clearly aware of this, having just completed the acquisition of his fourth fab. The factory uses the current mainstream 3-inch wafer, 2.5-micron process, and Zhang Zhongmou plans to move its equipment to Asia to build a new factory to produce 6502 processors, and use the original factory to build a new 4-inch wafer, 1.5-micron process new factory.

The U.S. is at the forefront of semiconductor technology development, and building a factory here allows for rapid adoption of the latest technologies. In places such as Asia, where production costs are lower, some outdated but still practical mainstream technologies can be migrated to reduce factory costs and improve competitiveness. The total investment of the two new factories and supporting chip test and packaging plants is as high as 120 million US dollars.

Since the beginning of this year, Martin has completed the layout of stores in major cities in the United States and began to enter the second-tier cities in the United States. After the adjustment, the computer park is located in major cities and densely populated metropolitan areas in the United States, and is mainly used to build large-scale directly-operated stores. Rural and small cities with scattered populations are mainly absorbing small franchise stores.

In 1981, the biggest move of the computer park company was to expand its layout in Asia and Europe. In particular, we have opened a large number of directly managed stores in Japan and Western Europe, and have rapidly built a large global sales network. In Hong Kong, the company opened a large directly-operated store in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island in the first and second half of the year. Before the arrival of the wave of Internet e-commerce, the store sales model has at least 20 years of golden development.

After the company went public, Aikang invested heavily in the computer park company to support its rapid global expansion in the form of shares, which alleviated some of Li Xuan's financial pressure, but even so, he has invested as much as 150 million US dollars in the computer park company this year.

Counting the acquisitions of Jiahua Bank, Asia Television Station, and the continuous investment in scientific research of the Oriental Research Institute, it is also fortunate that the profits of Oriental Games are very amazing, otherwise it would not be able to support such a large-scale expansion. Of course, HSBC and Standard Chartered are a bit helpless about this, Dongfang Electronics is a high-quality customer in their eyes, but its internal cash flow is very abundant, except for a small amount of short-term borrowing, the two banks have granted it a total of up to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars of credit lines, almost no passive use.
