When Mao Xiuliang was trying his best to negotiate the Y crystal display patent, ten large container trucks were also in Shenzhen Railway Station, on the back of the trailer chassis, put the containers that had just been lifted from the train, and then the wheels rolled, through the Wenjindu port, into Hong Kong. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Full text reading]

The container convoy followed the Tai Po Highway next to the eastern section of the coastline, via the Tolo Highway and south along the Shing Mun River, across Sha Tin to the Kowloon City Sham Shui Wading Area.

However, instead of heading towards Kowloon, the convoy turned west towards the boat Ngong Chau.

In the past, the old cargo terminal was the Kowloon Terminal, which was also the oldest cargo terminal in the early days of the port. As container transport became the dominant form of global logistics in the 60s, the Kowloon Terminal was overwhelmed and the Hong Kong government decided to build a new cargo terminal.

At that time, the construction of the new town was at its peak, and it was extended to the Tsuen Wan area, so the Hong Kong government listed Chuen Ngong Chau in the Tsuen Wan area as the construction site of the cargo terminal. The cargo volume of Kowloon Ferry Terminal has been declining year by year, and it has gradually been abandoned and renovated and expanded into commercial buildings, which no longer bear the freight task.

At this time, Kwai Chung Terminal was far from being as large as it was in later generations, with only six berths and the capacity to dock six modern container carriers at the same time. The coastline of the wharf is only 2,300 meters long, and the container warehouse and debunked yard behind it have a total area of 85 hectares.

At present, there are three companies operating Kwai Chung Ferry Terminal, namely Hyundai Hek Tau Company, Hailu Company, and Hong Kong International Terminal Company.

These three companies are all British-funded companies, and Chinese businessmen are not qualified to get involved at all. Among them, the owner behind Hyundai Hetou Company is Wharf Group; The owner behind Hailu is Jebsen & Co.; The owner behind the Hong Kong International Terminal Company is Hutchison Whampoa.

From the very beginning, Guan Fei was worried that the freight at the wharf would be stuck, and Hutchison Whampoa was the most powerful and the most difficult, so he signed a long-term contract at Pier 2 through Wharf through Chinese businessmen, leased a container yard for a long time, and enjoyed the right of priority to board and load cargo.

The container truck drove to the exclusive yard of Taiyu and went directly to Pier 2, where a sea vessel belonging to OOCL Container Line was quietly parked on the dock, waiting to be loaded.

Tung Ho Wan, the founder of OOCL Container Line, owns 149 cargo ships with a total tonnage of 11 million tons, which is twice as high as the more famous Greek ship kings in Europe and the United States.

He is also a well-known pro-mainland red-top businessman on the island, and it is through him that Taiyu Technology obtained the exclusive container yard and terminal concession rights. However, at the age of 89, he has retired from the background the year before last, and his eldest son has taken over as Chairman of the Board of OOCL, overseeing all aspects of the company's business.

His eldest son, the current chairman of the board of directors, was the first chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

All kinds of loading and unloading equipment on the wharf also belong to Oriental Shipping, without the permission of the terminal manager, as soon as the fleet approaches, it will be fully operational.

Container trucks line up in a long line, waiting for the containers to be lifted and loaded to the container deck for fixation, and then leave, followed by a car in order, waiting to be unloaded.

That night, all the cargo had been loaded onto the ship, and after the inventory was correct, the giant ship left the dock and sailed slowly towards the open sea.

It will take 20 days to enter the western Pacific Ocean through the South China Sea, the Sea of Japan, and then across the entire Western Pacific Ocean to San Francisco. At that side, the office of Taiyu Technology in the United States will organize the unloading of the goods, hand them over to the American freight company, and send them to more than ten largest cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, etc., and distribute them to Sutar's local shopping malls.

Each container contains a total of 150,000 cubes of portable game consoles, for a total of 1.5 million.

It can be seen how much Guan Fei is looking forward to the sales prospects of this batch of game consoles.

This is just the first batch, and for the next few days, a ship will load containers full of game consoles onto the ship and sail to different destinations: Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries; Australia, New Zealand; France, West Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Austria and other Western European countries; Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other South American countries; North American countries such as the United States and Canada......

Guan Fei asked for the goods to be distributed all over the world, and the people below did carry out his instructions.

This kind of efficiency is the envy of companies with many shareholders. Of course, if he makes a wrong decision and leads to heavy losses, there is no room for shirk.

Mao Xiuliang and others carried out thoroughly, not only in those richest North America, but also to the relatively wealthy East Asia, Europe sent a large number of game consoles, even the second-class Southeast Asia, South America, Australia did not let go, the global distribution of goods reached more than 50 countries, the total distribution volume of more than 8 million!

If a technology and patent exchange agreement is reached with Motorola during the sea journey, then the ship will be immediately distributed to various sales points and agents for sale. If there are twists and turns in between, the goods will be temporarily stored at the container terminal and will be listed after the patent is in hand.

There is only one principle: only goods and people, not people!

The content of the block game is simple, even if it is not cracked, each game company will immediately understand the key to program writing, quickly come up with imitations, and compete with Taiyu Technology for the market. Therefore, they must store the goods in the world's possible sales markets in the shortest possible time, and achieve global simultaneous sales, so as to obtain the maximum benefit.

However, judging from the attitude of Motorola and his party, they are very sincere in cooperating with Taiyu and have no tendency to deliberately obstruct them. Y crystal patent in this era is not much interest, most of them can be negotiated quickly, maybe the container ship is still fighting with the wind and waves at sea, difficult to move forward.

……

"Richard, this design draft is back! What are you working on? This design has long been outdated, although we were the first to get involved in the arcade business, but the Japanese are not sleeping, they have developed rapidly over the years, and they have introduced new models such as small flat arcade machines like coffee tables, pachinko machines, etc., although the market response is mediocre, but it can be seen that they are catching up. Your design can only be said to be decent, and it will definitely not win the customer's approval, take it back and redesign! ”

Edmund sat in his office with blinds hanging behind him, waving a stack of designs and splattering at the designer across his desk.

Sunlight filtered in through the cracks in the blinds, reflecting a streaked path behind him.

Mr. Edmund, whom Guan Fei met at the Empire State Building and who had been determined to restore his father's tape recorder factory, is now at the peak of his life.

When Taiyu Technology reached an agreement with the Hong Kong government to open an electronics industrial park, and the global electrical giants came to cut this cake into pieces, leaving no residue left, he once despaired, thinking that this opportunity to revive his father's career would be lost again.

It was Guan Fei who saved him and faithfully fulfilled the promise he made before inviting these small and medium-sized businessmen to visit Hong Kong.

Although each company that is willing to stay does not get much money, as little as 100,000 or as much as 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, it can only set up a small assembly plant and purchase components and parts from Suteng Commerce for assembly, which is about the same level as the garage company in the United States.

But the appetite of the other side is also smaller than that of the greedy venture capital companies in the United States.

Depending on the technical level, network connections, and output of these entrepreneurs, the required shares are only 40 to 70 percent.

Today, more than half of these small, semi-workshop tape recorder factories have collapsed in the fierce competition, and they have to pack up and return to the United States. Or give up the idea of starting a business on your own, go to other enterprises as technicians and managers, and stay in the local area to continue to eat this bowl of rice.

There are only four successful companies, and all of them are traditional tape recorder manufacturers with considerable influence in a certain region of the United States. In the past, because Japan had lower labor and lost to competition, now there are Chinese production, lower cost, better quality components, tape recorder components, they immediately played the advantage of the snake, quickly regained their local footing, and continued to expand their market share, and its development trend is better than many electrical giants.

But they were much worse than Edmund.

Although Edmund did not continue his father's career, he was able to pursue a career in industrial design.

He has been running a factory with his father since he was a child, figuring out the psychology of customers and tracking market needs, and he has a lot of talent in this area.

With a steady stream of orders from companies such as Taiyu Technology, Suteng Trading, and Hasbro, his business is getting bigger and bigger, and he has also created a considerable reputation in the industry. Now, in the Edmund Andy Design Company co-founded by him and British designer Andy, in addition to the two of them, as well as the six professional designers from Taiyu Technology, Suteng Commerce, and Hasbro, the full-time designer team has reached more than 30 people, and there are hundreds of industrial design college students who come to the company to work!

The small office they had rented had long since become overwhelmed, and they had moved the company to another industrial building, renting an entire floor to serve as the company's office space.

As the only professional industrial design company in Hong Kong, their customers have also expanded from Taiyu to dozens of local electronics factories, responsible for the appearance and creative design of toys, electronic products, game consoles and other related products, and began to develop in the direction of product design, structural design and circuit design at the request of venture capital companies.

Now their annual design fee income has reached tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars!

He is already very satisfied with this income.

The local salary level in Hong Kong is too low, and the eight senior designers in the firm, including him and Andy, each have a monthly salary of more than 6,000 Hong Kong dollars, which adds up to less than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

This amount of money, converted into US dollars, is only 1,001 per month, which is only equivalent to the salary level of grassroots white-collar workers in the United States, but it supports eight highly accomplished senior design talents.

And this salary, several senior designers are also very satisfied, compared to the average salary level of 1,003, they have received an undeniably high salary!

If the design draft is accepted, you can also get a certain amount of bonus, and it is common to have a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan.

This income, in addition to those British-funded directors and British officials in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, can only be reached by those bosses who start their own businesses and executives of large enterprises, how can they still complain.

As for ordinary designers, the monthly salary is even lower, only more than 4,000 Hong Kong dollars; The college student assistant is so low that Edmund is a little unbearable, the income of 1,500 Hong Kong dollars is only more than 300 US dollars, which is the treatment of the poor in the United States, and those college students are still flocking to it, and they are happy once they are admitted.

These flexible college students, who are proficient in English conversation and access to English materials, only need to go through a few years of training to grow into an excellent designer, or at least a qualified draftsman.

And these designers and assistants are really hard-working, hard-working models, they come to the company early every day, work at the desk, and then work until eight o'clock in the evening, sometimes overtime or even until the early hours of the morning before dragging their tired bodies away.

When you are busy, it is not uncommon to work overtime all night.

They didn't complain at all, the design draft was sent back once, twice, or three times, but they all silently took the waste draft back, continued to think hard, repeatedly revised, and were more obedient than lambs. No one complained to the union or anything, and there were only three cases of people who left the company in the past two years. Two of them were fired by Edmund and Andy because of their poor design skills.

For such a huge design company, the monthly salary expenditure is less than one million in total, and the monthly profit is as high as more than four million after deducting rent, water and electricity, and taxes!

With his seven percent stake, he could get nearly 300,000 for this money; Andy can also get 140,000 or 50,000!

This is a proper top salary for the rich!

What's more, the venture capital company never asked them for dividends, but asked for money to be invested in the company's expansion and business development, so that the company has more funds for business development. This is much better than vampire-like American venture capital, and it is what Edmund and Andy are most grateful for.

With Hong Kong's electronics industry on the right track, the future boom is clear to all, and the company's business will only be more prosperous in the future.

In between work, he also discussed with Andy, planning to try to persuade the venture capital company to go public, raise more funds, and then use the abundant local human resources to open a branch in the United States, expand the business scope to the United States, and strive to grow into a world-class enterprise.

Life is wonderful!

Edmund pointed out the designer's inappropriateness, criticized it, and waved him back to revise it.

The other party silently picked up the design draft, opened the door and left quietly.

As soon as the door was closed, it was opened again.

Edmund thought that the other party had something else to do, raised his head and saw it, and immediately smiled all over his face, walked around from behind the desk, greeted him with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhu, please take a seat, you don't like coffee, right, I'll let the secretary make tea immediately." ”

The one who came in was the manager of the Science and Technology Innovation Trust Management Company and the director of the design company.

In addition to supervising the property of the design company, Kechuang let go of the actual operation and occasionally put forward some suggestions, and the specific operation is all decided by Edmund and Andy.

Seeing each other smiling is probably not a bad thing.

He didn't know what the other party's intentions were, so he smiled and asked the other party to sit down, and he sat aside.

When the secretary brought the tea, closed the door and left, the manager did not go to drink tea immediately, but smiled and took out a document from the briefcase he carried with him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Edmund, you are about to get rich!" ”

"Oh? How do you say that? Edmund was confused for a second or two, and then suddenly came to his senses, and a huge surprise spread throughout his body in an instant, and he stood up at once, and his movements were so great that he knocked over the teacup that had just been served.

The tea still flows on the coffee table and drips on the expensive carpet.

But he didn't look at it, his eyes lit up, staring at Manager Zhu's face, with an excited expression, his voice was choked, and he couldn't say half a word for a while.

The biggest wish of anyone who starts a business is to go public.

This means that you can circle money in the stock market, circle a lot of money, and unenterprising entrepreneurs will take the opportunity to clear their shares, carry full of money, and go to tropical beaches to enjoy the happy life of sand, beauty, and sunbathing.

And for ambitious entrepreneurs, this is the time when their careers really begin.

Manager Zhu seemed to be very aware of his psychological changes at this time, cleaned up the overturned teacup by himself, found a rag to wipe the coffee table, and at the same time gave the answer that Edmund wanted to say, but didn't dare to expect: "Yes!" The company feels that the stock market is very hot now, and the company can get more benefits by going public at this time. Therefore, we hired the Science and Technology Innovation Bank to officially start the relevant process of the company's listing, and now I will come to you to sign some documents to make the report data more beautiful, and strive to successfully pass the review of the financial management department, and go public as soon as possible, so that the stock price can rise a little higher! You're not against it, are you? ”

"No, of course I'm not against it! I'm in favor of going public now, right now! Me, I'm going to go to Andy right away, and by the way, and the accountant, we're going to do our best job of keeping the accounts. I wish the manager, please sit down for a while, I will go to call someone immediately! ”

Andy was so excited that his brain was a little deprived of oxygen, he felt that his thinking was intermittent, all kinds of thoughts went up and down, he couldn't calm down, he stammered when he spoke, and he completely lost the ability to think rationally.

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the office, slammed into Andy's office next door, and without looking to see if there was anyone inside, he shouted in a voice that he thought was very secret, but in fact it was so loud that everyone could hear it: "Andy! Andy, we're going public! ”
