Chapter 15: Heart-to-Heart Talk

Although Li Yixuan successfully dealt with the reward turmoil this time, he still needs to deal with the aftermath of the next one.

After returning home from work, his mother Zhang Guifang kept a cold face, ignored him, and locked herself in the house and couldn't come out.

How to have a nature with a child. Forget it, I'll take a step back as a son.

Grocery shopping, rice washing, cooking, stir-frying. When the meal was ready and put on the table, Li Yixuan went upstairs and knocked on his mother's door, "Mom, it's time to eat." ”

Seeing that there was no response, he shouted again. shouted a third time, but saw that the other party never opened the door. Li Yixuan sighed and went downstairs to eat by himself.

After a while, I saw my mother come downstairs. Li Yixuan hurriedly pulled out a chair for her, scooped a bowl of rice himself, and brought it to his mother. Then he tried to pick up vegetables for her.

Li Yixuan cooks his favorite dishes at present, and he tries his best to put them in his mother's bowl.

Seeing that Li Yixuan was so attentive, the mother sighed, thinking that he was also her own son no matter what, how could he fight, and in the end all these things were not her son's, so she picked up the bowl and ate it.

After eating, Li Yixuan put away the bowl and came out after washing the dishes.

was stopped by Zhang Guifang, "What are you going to do with this company in the future?"

Li Yixuan couldn't figure out what his mother meant, and he didn't know if he was still angry about what happened during the day, so he didn't dare to answer rashly.

"How can the company go in the future, you don't have a number in mind?"

It seems that it is not possible not to answer, "At present, our arcade machine has opened up the situation in Southeast Asia, but we have made efforts in Europe and the United States for more than a year, and it still does not improve." That's the most lucrative in the arcade market, indeed, and can't be given up. I have contacted Masayoshi Son, who is at RB, and asked him to send me a business letter in the name of SoftBank in the United States, saying that I will go to the United States to develop the market in person, where I will spend a lot of time, and my mother will need to take care of the family. ”

"Why are you leaving?"

Li Yixuan shook his head and said: "It's not to go, but to open up the market." As I said before, Europe and the United States are the largest markets for arcade machines, and the Southeast Asian market is too small, no matter how hard we try, selling 3,000 arcade machines a month will be the sky. If we are like most of the rich people in Hong Kong, we will become one of the top wealthy families in Hong Kong in a few years, but this is not what I want, DreamWorks should be like Intel and Microsoft, become a world-class enterprise, and we must go out. ”

Zhang Guifang saw that he had already made a decision in his heart, and it was hard to say anything, but he just told him to go out, not to be strong, and if it really didn't work, he would come back.

"Don't worry, Mom, I know in my heart that I won't come back empty-handed when I go to the United States this time. ”

Zhang Guifang nodded, "Is there anything else at home?"

"Yes," Li Yixuan asked, "how many directly operated stores do we have in Hong Kong at present?"

Zhang Guifang didn't know what he was asking for, but he still replied: "At present, there are 5 of them, and 2 of them are being renovated, and they will open in half a month at the latest." ”

Li Yixuan nodded and said, "Then 7, don't add more direct stores in the future." Where the remaining funds are tilted towards RB. ”

"Why?"

"What else do you have to ask, you can't see the difficulty, no matter how good the game hall business is, it is also a playground, this kind of amusement place is the most complicated, black and white are gathered in one place, and our current energy is not enough to support us to open more directly operated stores in Hong Kong. ”

"Isn't there Liang Kun?"

Li Yixuan couldn't cry or laugh, "My mother, you really think you are a big water hose, Liang Kun and they have always been the underworld that can't get on the stage, and the entire Hong Kong underworld is not Liang Kun alone, let's talk about 14K inside, he Liang Kun is isolated by other bigwigs in the gang, and outside 14K, there are Hesheng and Xin Yi'an." The time is about to be 78 years, and 14K is now losing a lot of territory because of its own internal problems and the Hong Kong government's suppression. In the future, until the return to the motherland, the distribution of power in Hong Kong's underworld is 14K, Hesheng and Xiangjia's new Ngee An is a three-legged situation. ”

"You're saying that there will be fire in the rivers and lakes right away?"

Li Yixuan nodded, went upstairs and took out a document from the study, and put it in front of Zhang Guifang, "This is what I came down from the net of later generations, which tells about the distribution and development of Hong Kong's underworld forces during this period from the 70s to the return of Hong Kong, as well as the new rise of Big Brother 80 years later." It is recorded above that in the late 70s, Hong Kong's Harmony and New Ngee An, with the acquiescence of the Hong Kong government, swallowed up a lot of land in 14K.

In the early 80s, due to the negotiations between China and Britain on the Hong Kong issue, Hong Kong's financial and stock markets plunged, many wealthy people emigrated overseas, and many British capital withdrew one after another, which led to the Hong Kong tycoons beginning to reshuffle their cards, and the turf struggle between the Hong Kong underworld was, to put it bluntly, a struggle between the rich and powerful in Hong Kong.

DreamWorks shouldn't get involved in such a fight, and the consequences of entering are not something we can bear, it's all about making wedding dresses for others. We don't have to get involved. ”

Zhang Guifang didn't speak, picked up the information and looked at it carefully, and after Li Yixuan finished speaking, he didn't bother her.

After a long time, Zhang Guifang read the information, "At present, the company is in a period of rapid development, and no longer open new self-operated stores, which is a great loss to us." ”

"Who said, if we don't open a new self-operated store, we will give up development. Li Yixuan retorted: "How did those self-operated shops come about? They are rented for money, and the entire rent accounts for half of the operating costs of the entire self-operated stores, and with the further prosperity of Hong Kong's economy in the next few years, Hong Kong's land prices will rise further, and the rents will be higher." Sooner or later, it will swallow up all the profits of the self-operated store. There is no point in continuing such an expansion. There is only one way to keep all your profits in your own bowl, to own your own property. ”

"You mean real estate? It's going to take up a lot of our money. ”

Li Yixuan was angry for a while, "Who said that I want to engage in real estate, if I don't engage in real estate, I can't own my own property?" If you look at the future development of Hong Kong's stock market, there was a stock market crash in 79, from 82 to 84, due to the Sino-British negotiations on the final ownership of Hong Kong, the stock market crash lasted for two years, and in 87 and 89, there was another stock market crash, and in 92, affected by the British pound crisis, there was another stock market crash, 97,, The Southeast Asian stock market crash in 98, this wave of the market, is a good time for us to buy the bottom and own our own property. Do we need to play real estate ourselves?"
