Luk's Electronics Company started producing television sets as early as the 70s and is one of the largest television manufacturers in Hong Kong. After the emergence of the Oriental Group, Lu's Electronics Company was one of the earliest partners, and has been OEM arcade displays, computer displays, televisions and other products for the companies under the Oriental Group.

With the support of the Oriental Group, Lu's Electronics Company is not the same as ten years ago in terms of production capacity and technology. In addition to actively undertaking orders from the Oriental Group, Lu's Electronics Company has not given up its own brand business.

As one of the earliest Hong Kong businessmen to invest in China, Lu's company's television sets sold very well in China. In addition, it also took advantage of the construction of chain electronic hypermarkets in the global staking of CG Company, a subsidiary of the Oriental Group, and sold its own televisions, computers and other products to many countries around the world.

Lu's company's product positioning is very clear, that is, it does not compete with big brands in the high-end market, but uses the price advantage of high quality and low price to compete in the low-end market. Especially in the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets, Luk's Electronics has been developing its own distribution channels since the 70s, and has focused on these two markets in recent years.

The focus of the market development of the Eastern Bloc has always been on the markets of developed countries such as Japan, North America, and Europe. In recent years, although it has begun to adjust, more and more attention has been paid to the development of other markets. However, the attributes of most of the products of the Eastern Group are doomed, and its market development will only take the high-end route.

For example, CG's electronic chain hypermarkets have also begun to enter countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia. However, the layout of the store is always in the most prosperous business districts of the most prosperous cities such as Manila and Jakarta.

Therefore, Lu's Electronics is pulled into the VCD promotion alliance in order to better complement the Eastern Group. Through the distribution channels of Lu's Electronics, it will cover the low-end markets that the Eastern Group is not involved in.

And the reason why Corillun is ready to invite Scar Qiang to join also has a special reason. The underworld is a special kind of river and lake hidden behind the sun. A certain bigwig in Hong Kong is wanted. As a result, he successfully fled to Thailand or Myanmar for refuge.

Naturally, it is impossible for the bigwigs who commit crimes to get out of the customs through normal channels, but they rely on the smuggling channels established by illegal acts such as drug trafficking and smuggling. Through the cross-regional connection between gangsters, these networks can form an underground network throughout East Asia.

The invasion of community forces has been a headache for the Hong Kong film industry in recent years, and many popular stars have had the experience of being courier-bombed, and they have been forced to accept some very bad film contracts. In the early years, He'antang saw making money from making movies, and also established a production company called Hejiahuan Pictures.

It's just that this film company is not doing well. It was transferred to Li Ke to take over the operation. But instead of quitting the film industry entirely, He'an Tang established another new company. Since it was impossible to gain a foothold in making feature films, the new company simply turned to limited-production, which is what we often call love action films.

The Hong Kong Film Market has both formal cinemas and many underground cinemas. At the beginning, Li Xuan's eldest brother Li Ke was in charge of watching the scene in an underground cinema. These underground movie theaters are more restrained during the day, and at night they are all color-erotic movies to attract salty and wet guys to buy tickets.

This kind of movie can do without plot and acting skills, as long as the heroine can take off and show it. He Antang can be regarded as finding her own space in the film industry, and ordinary actresses may not be willing to make this kind of movie. But they are triad-society. Some of her subordinates are young ladies with bold styles, and there are always one or two who dare to show off in front of the camera.

After these restricted films were made, it was naturally impossible to sell them in Hong Kong alone, and they could also be made into videotapes and marketed to the entire East Asian market through special channels.

According to the market intelligence collected by Oriental Commercial Company, the market size of these shoddy and restrictive films in the entire Asian videotape market should not be underestimated.

For this. Li Xuan, who came from later generations, felt the deepest, and the A-V movies in Japan in later generations were a huge industry. Teacher Cang is even more for a whole generation of Chinese teenagers. Completed the earliest sexual-initiation. In the 80s, Japan's A-V industry was just emerging, and it was far from reaching the point where it became world-famous in later generations!

From the point of view of the defenders, all this dross should be criticized. As a world-renowned company, it is naturally impossible for the Oriental Group to buy this kind of copyrighted content to produce VCDs. But the market demand for it is real, so the Eastern Bloc needs some chess pieces to do something that it can't do on its own.

After Li Ke and Curillon parted at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel. Head straight to Kwun Tong. His original eldest brother, who is also the current sitter of Wo On Tong, is in an industrial building in Kwun Tong every afternoon.

The current Scar Qiang is no longer the majestic double-flower red stick of He'an Tang, as the sitting hall of the club, those things that fight and kill. Only the younger brothers below do it.

If you don't know Scar Qiang's outstanding achievements in Tsim Sha Tsui East back then, when you see him for the first time, you still think that he is a wealthy businessman with a successful career, not a gangster. Many of the properties of Heantang have been whitewashed over the years under various names.

For example, Hutchison Electronics Company, located in Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, was the first company founded by Li Xuan after his rebirth - Keji Electronics. Later, Li Xuan sold the electronics factory that started with copycat Japanese arcade machines to He'antang, and he took the first pot of gold to establish Dongfang Electronics.

After Kee Electronics became Hutchison Electronics, its main business became the manufacture of Mac phones. This Mac machine is not Jobs's Apple that was bitten by God, but an electric old man.

Hutchison's Mac not only sells underground casinos throughout Asia, but also receives orders from a large number of world-renowned casinos such as Las Vegas and Macau. Although gambling is prohibited in Hong Kong, there is no law that prohibits the manufacture of Macs.

Of course, Hutchison Electronics firmly refuses to admit that the Mactos that appear on the streets of Hong Kong have entered the market directly from their own hands. All of the company's products are sold overseas, and there are clear customs declaration documents to check. As for some criminals smuggling back to Hong Kong the machines sold overseas by Hutchison through improper channels, this has nothing to do with it!

"Ke. Why are you interested in coming here today?" When Li Ke walked in the door, Scarqiang was resting his legs on the boss's desk, trimming his fingernails with nail clippers.

"Big guy, my brother has a good business there, I don't know if you're interested?" Li Ke said straight to the point on the reception sofa.

"Oh, why did your brother suddenly think of me? This isn't like what he used to do!" Scar chuckled.

What was Li Xuan's style in the past? Ever since the completion of Keji Electronics, Li Xuan has tried his best to avoid entanglement with community forces. Scar Qiang asked Li Xuan to eat several times, but he used various excuses to shirk it. After all, with his current status, if he is photographed by a reporter talking and laughing with club bosses, it is by no means positive news!

"The business of the Oriental Group is so big now, and my brother Ah Xuan is a lazy person, I am afraid that even he himself does not know many things now! The Oriental Research Institute has just developed a new type of disc player, which is ready to replace the video recorder on the market!

Ke Lilun, do you remember? It was Ah Xuan's former assistant, who had just been promoted to vice president of Oriental Commercial not long ago. I had just had afternoon tea with him at the Peninsula Hotel, and he revealed a message to me!

The Oriental Research Institute is ready to authorize three companies to produce VCD players at the same time, and the other two places have been determined. They are RCA Company, a subsidiary of the Oriental Group, and Lu Qintian's Lu's Electronics Company. Now there is one last place left, if you are interested, this place can be reserved for Hutchison Electronics!" Li Ke introduced the matter clearly in a few words.

"It's a pie-in-the-sky thing, but why don't I sound down-to-earth! Ah Ke, don't cheat me with your brother. What the hell do they have in mind, otherwise this kind of opportunity would not have fallen on us and An Tang!" Scar Qiang is naturally a smart person. I understand very well that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Li Ke also knew that if he didn't make it clear, his boss would never nod easily. Li Xuan is in his boss's heart, he is definitely a powerful person who is brave and strategic, and decisive in killing. In order to cut off the relationship with He'an Tang, Li Xuan deliberately left the gift of the Apple machine.

You must know that now Hutchison Electronics has developed a variety of electronic old-tiger machines on the basis of Apple machines, and the annual sales have reached more than 100,000 units. It's just this one business. It can bring hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars of net profit to He'an Tang.

But such a money-making idea that can get rich overnight, Li Xuan threw it out without the slightest hesitation. And when He'an Tang came back to his senses from this kind of profiteering, Li Xuan was already a figure they couldn't afford to mess with!

"Big guy, you should have an impression of the film company in charge of Cross-Eye, last time because of the competition for an actress. There was also a conflict with He Shengyi's blind bing!" Li Ke said with a smile.

"His own stuff is useless, the horse was pried away by others, and in the end, the club has to come forward to help him settle it! Why are you mentioning him, the famous Asian Pictures will never watch such an unpopular limited film!" Scar scolded with a smile, and asked with some doubts.

Cross-eyed is also the number one person in He'an Tang, he has no confidence in fighting, killing, but his brain is very active. Dou Dou Eye has made a film company, and it has created a unique way to shoot all kinds of movies such as mother-in-law and son-in-law, father-in-law and daughter-in-law, and so on, and it is very popular to watch! It can be seen that everyone has a very dirty side in their hearts!

And one of his popular actresses was poached at a high price by a big guy on He Shengyi's side. And this actress is still his good friend, which is naturally a great shame for men.

However, Li Ke didn't talk about these rotten sesame fart things today, he organized his language a little before he continued to speak: "If VCD wants to replace the video recorder, there must be something beautiful for people who spend money to buy a DVD player!"

On the side of the original movies, ATV's TV series and Asia Pictures movies are enough to prop up the scene. But for some movies with special needs, it is naturally difficult for a decent company like the Eastern Group to interfere, so I want to invite the big guy and join the game!

If Hutchison has this intention, Oriental Research Institute can provide a full range of technical support, and Jiahua Bank will also provide loan discounts!"

Scar Qiang lowered his head and thought for a while, then put away his nail clippers and said with a serious expression: "Ah Ke, do you think this project can be done?"

Li Ke gave a wry smile to his boss, he is here to be a lobbyist today, this question is really difficult to answer. But he also knew that this was the big guy's trust in him, and if he said it was feasible, Brother Qiang would definitely agree immediately.

"Big man, no one can predict whether to make money or lose money in doing business! But I only know that the Oriental Group is very optimistic about the future of VCD players, and this project is one of the key projects in the next year!" Li Ke said seriously.

"Since it's a project that even 'God of Wealth Li' values very much, I don't want to give it a try! I guess a big company like the Oriental Group must make a decision to do things and then act! You help me make an appointment with Ke Lilun, and I invite him to dinner together, so I can talk to him about how to cooperate!" Scar Qiang knocked lightly on the table and made a decision.

Li Ke nodded, then grabbed the phone and dialed Ke Lilun. Co Lilun naturally agreed, and the two made an appointment to have dinner together at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui!

How big is the scale of the VCD industry, after it came out in China, the annual sales exceeded 10 million units in less than five years. Of course, that was in '97, '98.

But the Asian market today is actually very similar to the Chinese market ten years later, and the video recorder has not yet begun to be popularized on a large scale. After more than 10 years of industrial take-off, the economic level of the Asian tigers is similar to that of China in the late 90s, after 20 years of reform and development.

Therefore, if the Oriental Group can seize the opportunity of the large-scale popularization of video recorders in Asia and seize the market in advance, it can reap a new industry with annual profits of hundreds of millions of dollars, and this scale is enough to make the Oriental Group pay attention to it. What's more, VCD is just a sentinel battle for the Eastern Bloc, and whether you choose super VCD or DVD in the future, it is the time to really compete with VCRs! )
