At the end of December 1979, just after Christmas. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Lin Qi knows that the publishing industry is deep, and the most important thing in the traditional publishing industry is not the excellent works, but the platform and channels.

In a place as small as Hong Kong, content is naturally king.

But looking at the world publishing market, the main thing is that channel is king.

U.S., Japan, Europe...... In these markets with relatively rich profits, there are monopoly oligopolies who occupy the mountains and carve up territory. A good book, if not in the hands of giants, is bound to have a limited circulation.

For example, the "Harry Potter" series is in the hands of international publishing giants, and it has become a publishing myth with a total circulation of hundreds of millions of copies.

But it is also a book that has potential, but it is not in the hands of giants, or it is not favored by giants, and it has reached its peak by stopping at millions of sales.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan markets for Chinese books are limited, and the mainland market has not yet opened, and even if it does, piracy everywhere will not make any profit. And when it is translated and published overseas, it is even more difficult to achieve anything.

But the electronics industry is different – Walkmans, tape recorders, MP3s, and other hardware can be used as music content and distribution platforms...... These products are big enough to pee and on the heads of music companies.

Video games, but also the platform is king. Consoles, handhelds and other platforms account for a large number of users, and in the future, they don't even need to develop their own games, authorize other game companies to develop games on the platform, and at the same time, the platform asks for a share of sales, and you can lie down and collect money.

There are also VCDs, DVDs or something, and if you get it, you can overturn the film and television industry in this era. Because, the market size of film and television discs is no less than that of traditional TVs and theaters.

Of course, these products need to burn money and have a strong technical team. Lin Qi will not take such a big step for the time being, entering those markets that require massive capital investment.

At present, the first project of the new start-up electronics company is even simpler - function calculator!

Even though the product is largely completed, it still needs to be further optimized to reduce production costs.

Therefore, the current new start-up electronics company is equivalent to a gold-swallowing beast that only burns money and does not make money, and at present, it needs to consume at least more than 3,000 yuan a day.

Fortunately, the publishing company is on the right track, and profits are growing rapidly. Before the end of December, the publishing company had made a profit of more than 80,000 yuan.

The profit dividends of the publishing company, plus Lin Qi's savings, can support the expenses of the R&D team of the electronics company.

Of course, the good news from the new venture publishing continued, and "Breaking the Sky" flew against the market in Hong Kong, gradually becoming a climate, and then attracted Taiwanese publishing houses to discuss copyright cooperation.

Zhang Dahai respected Lin Qi's opinion and asked a number of publishing companies to quote, and whoever quoted the highest copyright to whom. In the end, Crown Publishing House won the agency copyright of "Breaking the Sky" in Taiwan at a buyout price of 500 Hong Kong dollars for 1,000 words.

After getting the agency copyright, Lin Qi asked Crown Publishing House to pay 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in advance as a deposit. As a major publisher in Taiwan's publishing industry, Crown is naturally not stingy, and it readily paid the deposit in advance.

After receiving the advance payment, New Venture Press made a round of shareholder dividends.

Lin Qi received a dividend of 100,000 yuan, which was transferred and injected into the new venture electronics company, which alleviated the financial crisis of the new venture electronics company.

The main task of the new start-up electronics company is to learn, learn, research and develop, research and development!

Not only to further optimize the performance and cost of their function calculators, but also to buy all kinds of calculators that can be bought on the market for manual disassembly reference.

In the end, it was concluded that the functional calculator for new startups, both in terms of technology and cost, far exceeded the products already on the market.

"In other words, the Longteng 79 calculator we developed has reached the highest standards in the industry with various technical indicators?" Lin Qi asked.

"I can't say that the world is the best, but ...... If you fight a price war, you will definitely win!" Gao Tian said, "The product is basically mature, and it is impossible to further improve it in a short period of time!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Then find a factory to put it into production!"

……

The new start-up electronics company does not have its own factory, and it will not be able to come up with the money to build a factory in the short term. Therefore, it is natural to find a foundry for production.

In the 80s, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry was still in decline, and Hong Kong electronic watches and calculators became sought-after goods on the mainland at lower prices than similar Japanese products.

Even the well-known giants Wang An Computer and Atari Games have set up factories in Hong Kong. It can be seen that the Hong Kong electronic foundry in this era is at least not inferior to Taiwan.

Of course, after entering the 90s, Hong Kong's electronic products gradually disappeared, because after the cost of land and labor in Hong Kong became more and more expensive, most of the factories moved directly to the mainland.

The scale of Hong Kong-funded enterprises in later generations seems to be far inferior to that of Taiwan-funded enterprises in China. However, this is an illusion -- because Taiwan has not been reunified, the label of Taiwan-funded enterprises has always been Taiwan-funded.

However, Hong Kong-funded enterprises are different, and after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, many Hong Kong-funded enterprises have directly integrated into the mainland and become mainland-funded enterprises.

Just like China's famous Kingsoft in the 90s, if you say that it is not a mainland enterprise, people must be in a hurry with you. But Kingsoft originated in Hong Kong, the property of the Zhang Xuanlong family. In the early years, there was no Qiu Bojun, and there was already a Jinshan company in Hong Kong.

Later, Qiu Bojun was appreciated by the Zhang family and joined the Hong Kong Jinshan Company. Later, the Zhang family contributed capital and asked Bojun to provide technology, and established Zhuhai Kingsoft Software Company in the mainland, which is the most subsidiary of Hong Kong Kingsoft.

Of course, Zhang Xuanlong is a good boss in China and gives Qiu Bojun great autonomy. Moreover, it is almost difficult for the outside world to notice the existence of Zhang Xuanlong, and only Qiu Bojun in front of the stage.

Later, Qiu Bojun recruited Lei Jun and other subordinates, and the development of Zhuhai Kingsoft Software was better than that of Hong Kong Kingsoft, and then, in turn, Hong Kong Kingsoft's business was taken over by Zhuhai Kingsoft.

Of course, although Lin Qi knew the name of Boss Zhang Xuanlong, he didn't come to visit, after all, the Zhang family doesn't make electronic calculators at present, so they can't OEM for him!

Lin Qi came to visit the Rong family!

The Rong family is a well-known national capitalist in modern history, and after the establishment of New China, although the Rong family actively responded to the policies of the new government, it also gained a great political status. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the political turmoil also damaged the Rong family for a time.

After the reform and opening up, the Rong family had several ups and downs, and they also returned to the political arena. However, from the perspective of wealth, the Rong family on the mainland has gone bankrupt and is no longer a capitalist, but an official with great power.

The branch of the Rong family, which stayed in Hong Kong to develop, although there is a big gap with the top wealthy families in Hong Kong, is still a wealthy capital family.

After the reform and opening up, there was a young man in the Rong family on the mainland, Rong Jian, who was not very interested in politics, but envied the life in Hong Kong, so he decided to defect to his relatives in Hong Kong. When he arrived in Hong Kong, Rong Jian was empty-handed, but fortunately, Rong Jian's father's family business in Hong Kong also had a little equity. Those equity ratios are very small, but in the past few decades, corporate dividends have been stored in the books, and not a penny has been moved.

After Yung Jian arrived in Hong Kong, under the guidance of his father, he asked his relatives in Hong Kong to liquidate the value of the equity and dividends over the years. Although that investment was not very much, decades later, millions of Hong Kong dollars of assets were liquidated, and these assets became the first pot of gold for Yung Kin's development in Hong Kong.

After having the confidence of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, Rong Jian took this principal and invested in the Aika Electronics Factory, which his cousin Rong Xin looked down on.

This electronics factory was originally very small, but in the hands of Rong Jian, it continued to grow, and Rong Jian's profit dividends and salary income in the factory also continued to increase his shareholdings, and gradually became the major shareholder of Aika Electronics Factory.

The main business of Aika Electronics is the production of electronic watches that are very popular in mainland China. In these years, small businessmen who resell Hong Kong electronic watches can make a fortune as second-tier dealers on the mainland, not to mention factories that produce electronic watches.

Because Aika Electronics Factory was the first to sell electronic watches to the mainland market, and at this time, domestic electronic watches were basically in short supply. Therefore, the business of Aika Electronics Factory has shown explosive growth, with a current output value of several million yuan, but in a few years, the output value will even be hundreds of millions of yuan!

A few years later, an American company, attracted by the rapid growth of the Ekka electronics factory, bought the company for $12 million. After the American capital bought it at a high price, the electronic watch factories in the mainland have blossomed everywhere, and the mother who lost money later on Aika Electronics does not know it.

And Rong Jian made a profit of tens of millions because he got rid of this promising low-end electronics factory in time.

Lin Qi cooperated with Aika Electronics Factory, in addition to Aika Electronics Factory's ability to produce electronic calculators, more importantly, he knew Rong Jian's underestimated background and energy!
