After settling in Qiu Bojun's studio at the Friendship Hotel, Zhang Lexing asked Wan Lin to arrange a special person to be responsible for Qiu Bojun's daily life, Qiu Bojun is a workaholic, once he enters the development state, he completely ignores his health, Zhang Lexing does not want to receive some unfortunate news one day. As soon as Qiu Bojun's matter came to an end, Zhang Lexing received feedback from the market investigators sent out before.

The current mainstream in the domestic game market is the Atari 2600 and its compatible machine, which are sold over the counter in large shopping malls in many cities, but generally sell the Atari 2600 compatible machine, the price is usually around 2,000 yuan, and it still belongs to the ranks of high consumption, and only a few families who got rich first have bought it. However, in some cities, there is a kind of family-style game room (commonly known as charter room), which is very small, usually buying one or two Atari compatible machines, and then attracting some teenagers to play at home. Atari game cards are popular for both single cards and combined cards, and of course, the "TV Game Show Comprehensive Card" produced by Smoky Mountain Software is naturally indispensable among the combined cards. As for the FC game console that Zhang Lexing asked to focus on, it appeared very little in the market, only a very small number of parallel FC appeared in some coastal areas, because the game effect is far more than the Atari game machine, so the price is very high, almost 4,000 yuan a piece, and the game cartridge is as high as 5 or 600 yuan a plate.

Zhang Lexing naturally doesn't care about Atari's game machine, which will soon be completely withdrawn from the market, but he didn't expect the FC parallel cargo plane to start entering China so early, and he wanted to intervene, but unfortunately the patent has not been approved yet, and there is no reason to go to court. Through Wang Bin's classmates' inquiry, I only knew that it seemed that the expert review was still underway, and it was still early for the final approval. Depressed, but there was no way, Zhang Lexing endured it for a few days and simply left temporarily, so as not to see the patent office but not wait for the results.

The first stop after leaving Beijing Zhang Lexing came to Shenzhen, where there is an FC game cassette assembly plant under construction, and the on-site management is a few Chinese managers from the American cassette factory, and the cassette assembly equipment promised by Nintendo has basically been shipped and is being installed and commissioned. According to the estimation of the on-site management personnel, the installation and commissioning of the equipment should be completed around July, and trial production can be carried out, if everything is normal, the factory can be officially put into operation as long as enough skilled workers can be recruited, and then part of the production capacity of the United States can be transferred to Shenzhen, and I believe that it can effectively reduce the production cost of its own game cartridges in the future. Taking into account the actual situation in China, Zhang Lexing explained that the on-site management personnel and other equipment were installed and debugged, and immediately recruited people for training, and adopted the methods of training a batch of start-ups and bringing the old with the new, so that the factory could exert its maximum production capacity as soon as possible.

After seeing the situation of the Shenzhen factory, Zhang Lexing came to Hong Kong through the Luohu port. This is the focus of Zhang Lexing's coming out this time, and the industrial layout of Hong Kong is related to the future development, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. An IC chip production plant under construction is located in Tai Po Industrial Estate, Hong Kong, and is currently only used as a production base for the FC game enhancement chip MMC3, but Zhang Lexing's real plan is to gradually invest and upgrade to have CPU hardware design and production capacity based on this, and Dr. Yu will be busy for a long time in the future.

Tai Po Industrial Estate, chip factory construction site......

Seeing Dr. Yu, who was a little emaciated, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but feel apologetic in his heart: "Doctor, are you used to it in Hong Kong? In the future, I will be fortunate that you will often stay here, and if you need anything, just say it." ”

"It's okay, Hong Kong is very good, I'm very used to it here, and there are a lot of old friends here, I'm going to take my family over after a while, no problem." ”

"When do you think we will be able to build this factory?"

"Now some equipment is still floating at sea, if it can be delivered on time, it is estimated that it will be put into production by the end of this year, and it will take about half a year to reach the maximum production capacity. The factory has three production lines with a 3-micron line width, with a designed annual output of 16.8 million ICs. After the factory is fully put into production, we will not need to worry about running out of stock of MMC3 chips (FC game enhancement chips) that our company needs. ”

"It's too optimistic, when we use MMC3 chips to launch the game, you will know that the current output will soon be insufficient, but in the future, if you only need to expand production capacity, you can transfer the eliminated production line to Shenzhen opposite, and it should be able to be used for a long time. Well, Doctor, have all the equipment in our microcircuit lab arrived?"

"It's basically here, and now it's being installed and commissioned, and researchers have begun to recruit, and it's estimated that the research will be able to start in about three months. ”

"Okay, hurry up, this part is our focus, as soon as possible to carry out IC technology research, and strive to improve the existing production line width as soon as possible, improve the product yield, reduce production costs. I hope that the chip factories in Hong Kong will be able to produce MIPS research CPUs in the future, and there will be a lot of demand for such CPUs in the future. Doctor, you are at the helm of our hardware industry in the future. ”

"Rest assured, I will do my best. ”

After seeing the construction of the chip factory, Zhang Lexing came to Kunpeng Animation Communication Company in Central, which was developed from a comic studio temporarily established in Hong Kong that year. Relying on Cao Zhilin's long-sleeved dancing skills and the efforts of a group of employees, coupled with some comic ideas provided by Zhang Lexing occasionally, it has developed from a small comic studio into a large-scale company integrating animation creation, animation distribution and animation peripheral product research and development in a few years, and its business has spread throughout Japan, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Sitting on the comfortable sofa in the office of the general manager of Kunpeng Animation, Zhang Lexing listened carefully to Cao Zhilin's report on the business situation some time ago.

"Boss, including comic sales revenue, animation adaptation licensing, game adaptation licensing, animation peripheral licensing, etc., our company's total revenue last year increased by 50% over the previous year, reaching 2.126 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit was more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars. Our company's main business revenue comes from Japan and Taiwan, the main competitors in Japan are Shogakukan and Shueisha, the main competitors in Taiwan are Dongli Publishing House, and the main local competitor in Hong Kong is Wong Yuk Lang's Yulang Group. Shogakukan and Shueisha are both comprehensive publishing houses, and in addition to manga, we are also involved in books, periodicals, magazines, novels, reference books, etc., and we are still a bit behind the size of these two companies, but we are trying to catch up. Taiwan is still in a period of martial law, and it is not easy to develop with more restrictions, but according to some local veterans, martial law is about to be lifted, and if the news is true, it will be very beneficial to the development of the company. Yulang Group was listed last year, and Huang Yulang's assets were only 100 million Hong Kong dollars before the listing, and they have skyrocketed to nearly 2 billion Hong Kong dollars this year. This year, Huang Yulang also bought a large number of properties, including 70% of the shares of Tiantian Publishing Co., Ltd. and all the shares of Tiantian Color Printing Company, and took over the publication of "Tiantian Daily". It looks like Huang Yulang will make a big move. ”

"Yulang Group doesn't have to worry too much, it can take the way of supporting local original creators, use better conditions to attract local authors to join as much as possible, enhance the occupation of the local market, and slowly grind with him. The business in Japan should be further strengthened, and the branch there can tap more potential Japanese manga creators. Hmm, did you poach all the people on the list I gave you last time?"

"I've dug them up, and a lot of them are still starting to create comics, so they don't cost much. ”

"Try to create good conditions for them to concentrate on creating comics, and they will be indispensable for the sustainable development of the company in the future. ”

"Boss, I'll arrange it. ”

"Now the company's animation production is licensed to other companies to do, in the future, we will also master animation production technology, you have to gradually recruit some talents in this area, and establish your own animation production department. Don't worry about the money, I'll figure it out. ”

"Okay boss, I'll take care of this myself. ”

After explaining the relevant work, Zhang Lexing checked the work of each studio in the Hong Kong headquarters under the leadership of Cao Zhilin. Seeing that everyone's work was good, Zhang Lexing was relieved.

Leaving Kunpeng Animation, Zhang Lexing came to a nearby café, ordered a latte, sat down and slowly read the information in his hand, and the accompanying bodyguards quickly occupied several tables nearby, vigilantly examining the people passing by.

was drinking coffee, and suddenly there was a noise, Zhang Lexing looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance, maybe the bodyguard didn't know him, so he blocked him.

"Jonathan, it's Uncle Wu, I know, don't stop it. ”

"Lexing, I haven't seen you for a long time. Uncle Wu waved his hand to Zhang Lexing.

"Uncle Wu, come and sit, what do you drink?"

"Just have a glass of water. ”

Uncle Wu is the person in charge of the blue information market research company, this company is mainly engaged in business intelligence investigation and analysis, which can be regarded as one of Zhang Lexing's eyes and ears, after all, many things in the memory are incomplete, and many of them are just the appearance of events. Usually, Uncle Wu reports the investigation through regular emails, but this time Zhang Lexing came to Hong Kong just when he had time, so he simply asked Uncle Wu to come out and talk.

"Uncle Wu, Dr. Yu has come to Hong Kong, and you haven't seen each other for a long time, have you come out to drink tea together? ”

"I've seen it, we had morning tea together last week, and Mr. Yang also came. ”

"Old man Yang is okay?"

"The body is very tough, and I mentioned you when we had morning tea that day. ”

"Make an appointment to get together another day, and invite Mr. Yang over at that time, I have troubled Mr. Yang a lot of things over the years, and I really don't want to go. ”

"Okay, I'll find a place and set a time to inform you. ”

"Let's get down to business, what's going on during this time?"

"Well, the Starbucks that you have been following has completed the investment through Tiantian Coffee, and the current CEO is Howard Schultz, the former marketing manager of Starbucks and the current CEO of Tiantian Coffee, and we have a 45% stake in the restructured Starbucks. ”

"Hua Shao is doing a good job, and the person introduced by Mr. Yang is really capable. Zhang Lexing originally expected to be able to win 40% of the shares, but he didn't expect Hua Shao, who was specifically responsible for the project, to have strong negotiation ability and won an extra 5% of the equity for himself.

"Uncle Wu, there is another thing to trouble you, you help me set up a security company in Hong Kong, in the future, the company will be large, and some key places will still have to use your own people to rest assured. ”

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. ”

After meeting Mr. Yang, Zhang Lexing boarded a plane to California.
