Chapter 111 Mainland Study Mission
"Two came to mind, one was Electronic Arts, which was founded last year, and its founder, Tripp Hawkins, was a standard American. However, EA is a small company that has just been established, and it does not have the strength to acquire TV stations for the time being. The other is the Rainbow Group, which was founded in Canada, although it is a Canadian company, but the vast majority of the company's shareholders are Americans, and the founders are also Americans. ”
Li Yixuan said that these two companies are well-founded, and Electronic Arts has historically invested in a pay TV station, and the TV station has also opened a special channel to broadcast EA's competitive games. It also plays a number of TV series adapted from EA Games.
And Rainbow Group, in another time and space, acquired AMG TV, which itself is the owner of AMG, but now it is intercepted by Li Yixuan.
As a cultural group that started in Canada, it began to enter the US market in the 80s and was looking for targets to acquire.
Wen Bingxi said: "I know that I have some friendship with the CEO of this company, so I will contact him first." ”
Li Yixuan nodded, Wen Bingxi knew the CEO of Rainbow Group, and he already knew it. Because in another time and space, the marriage between AMG TV and Rainbow Group was facilitated by Wen Bingxi.
The two discussed for a while, and Li Yixuan got up and left.
……
On the third day after Li Yixuan returned to Hong Kong, he received a notice from the mainland that they would arrive in Hong Kong three days later.
In addition, the notice also told him the reason why the mainland had not sent people over for a long time.
It turns out that since Li Yixuan talked with Yuan Geng last time, the mainland has not attracted attention, and the reason why it has been delayed for so long is that the mainland has spent some time looking for technical talents who understand computer displays, and some well-known universities in the mainland have been invited by the University of Hong Kong to come to Hong Kong for academic exchanges. The high-level officials in the mainland thought that since they were all going to Hong Kong, they should simply go together and save some money, so they postponed it until now.
At this time, the front desk of the company called and said that the president of the University of Hong Kong would come to visit him tomorrow.
"I am the president of the University of Hong Kong, and my surname is Wang, Wang Haihua. The middle-aged man introduced himself.
"Hello Principal Wang. ”
Principal Wang smiled and said, "This delegation from the mainland wants to visit Mr. Li's factory?"
"Yes, we made an appointment more than half a year ago, knowing that they were coming, the hotel was booked. Li Yixuan said.
"Mr. Li doesn't know, although you also invited them, but the delegation from the mainland came together, led by Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of Education, even if they live together, how about letting us entertain them again?"
"Which hotel did President Wang order?"
"Oriental Culture Hotel. ”
Li Yixuan said: "Coincidentally, I also booked this hotel. The notice said that they came with 13 people this time, what about you, Principal Wang?"
After that, give your notice to the other party.
Principal Wang smiled, "The notice I received is 37 people, including your 13 people, a total of 50 people. We have booked a room for 50 people. ”
"That's it, Principal Wang, since you have already booked a room, why don't I return the room, and all the expenses of these people in Hong Kong, including the cost of leading the team, will be paid by me?" Li Yixuan put forward his own plan.
"Yes, that's it. At this time, HKU was not wealthy, and seeing that Li Yixuan was willing to accept all the expenses for mainlanders to come to Hong Kong, President Wang had no reason not to agree.
Then he said: "The night after tomorrow, we will hold a welcome banquet at HKU, and I hope that Mr. Li will come here. "Take out an invitation.
"It will come. Li Yixuan accepted the invitation.
Since the expenses are covered by yourself, why not participate.
Two days later, Li Yixuan and Principal Wang went to the gate to pick up people, and took Guo Yifei to a banquet in the evening.
Li Yixuan's first visit to the University of Hong Kong was held in the auditorium of the University of Hong Kong tonight. It was hosted by the Council of the University of Hong Kong to host a delegation of university presidents who were sent to Hong Kong by the Ministry of Education of the Mainland. At the reception, Hong Kong people and mainlanders were very distinguishable, the former wearing a suit and the latter wearing a Mao suit.
When Li Yixuan arrived, the reception had just begun, and President Wang was delivering a welcome speech on the stage.
After President Wang's speech on the stage, Vice Minister Li of the Ministry of Education of the Mainland came to the stage to say a word of thanks for the invitation, and the banquet officially began.
Principal Wang saw Li Yixuan and beckoned to him with a smile.
"Vice Minister Li, this welcome reception is sponsored by Mr. Li Yixuan. Mr. Lee's Oranges, the largest electronics company in Hong Kong, has also built a chip factory in the Yuen Long district!" Wang Haihua emphasized Li Yixuan's identity to the other party.
"Mr. Li, this time we are coming to Hong Kong, and we also want to visit your factory, thank you Li Yixuan and the University of Hong Kong for their kind invitation. Mr. Li is so young, and he has created such a big enterprise, Hong Kong is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" Vice Minister Li said with a smile as he stretched out his hand.
"Hello Vice Minister Li, this is my girlfriend Guo Yifei. Li Yixuan bowed down and said hello.
At this time, President Wang pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said, "This is President Wang Jiagang of the CD Telecommunications Engineering College in the mainland!"
"Hello President Wang, and welcome to Hong Kong. ”
CD Telecommunications Engineering College is a well-known electronic science and technology university in southwest China, and it has not had time to change its name in 1981. Don't look at the CD University of Electronic Science and Technology in later generations, the comprehensive ranking of domestic universities is outside the thirties and forties, but in the field of electronic science, it is a well-deserved leader, beating Tsinghua University, Peking University, and SH Jiaotong University to rank first.
And the people who came to inspect Li Yixuan's factory this time were led by Wang Jiagang.
"The Oranges I computer produced by Li Yixuan's company is also used by our hospital, all in Chinese, and the operation is very convenient. At a young age, Mr. Li developed a Chinese computer, which is not simple!" Wang Jiagang sincerely appreciated.
"President Wang has won the award, and Chinese should have their own computers. Li Yixuan said modestly.
"That's right, the Chinese should have their own computers. Wang Jiagang praised it.
Li Yixuan did not dare to underestimate them at all, and in later generations, there were three schools named after the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in China, namely Rongcheng University of Electronic Science and Technology, Chang'an University of Electronic Science and Technology and Linzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology. Among them, the first two are the cradle of electronic science talents in the mainland.
Intel has established a R&D center and invested in a wafer factory since 03 years, and has invested more than 2 billion US dollars in Chengdu in more than ten years.
Later, South Korea's Samsung built a flash memory chip factory in Chang'an, with an investment of up to $7 billion in the first phase alone.
The reason why Intel and Samsung chose Rongcheng and Chang'an respectively is that in addition to the preferential policies provided by the governments of these two places in order to attract foreign investment, the two universities of electronic science and technology can continue to provide high-quality and inexpensive scientific research workers, which is definitely one of the important reasons for the choice of these two semiconductor giants.
But now Samsung's main business is still selling household appliances such as TVs and washing machines, and it has not yet begun to enter the semiconductor industry, and Intel is only limited to the United States and has not yet begun to globalize.
To them, China is just a strange place with a huge population and a huge land area, but it is poor and backward.
