At the beginning of December 1983, Hong Kong's "Hong Kong Economic Journal" suddenly broke a big news: "Zhang Shaojie established a holding group and controlled its assets of up to 10 billion Hong Kong dollars!" ”

During the disclosure of the Hong Kong Economic Journal, Hong Kong readers gradually understood that Zhang Shaojie's wealth was not inferior to that of Bao Yugang, Li Ka-shing and other super-rich people of the older generation.

Zhang Shaojie invested in the construction of a 50-storey Dragon Tower twin buildings in Central, as well as the film and television city in Kowloon Bay. The properties were developed and are conservatively estimated to be worth HK$4 billion.

In addition, Ming Pao, Baolong, Asia Television, Xiaobawang, ORD Technology, Sun Hung Kai & Company, Shaojie Fund and other star companies, the asset value of these companies is also more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Hong Kong media exclaimed again: "Zhang Shaojie has a good way of managing his money and is expected to become the youngest richest man in Hong Kong!" ”

"The darling of heaven, the most inspirational young writer in Hong Kong's history!"

"No one can stop Zhang Shaojie from creating success by himself!"

"From Jin Yong and Zhang Shaojie to talk about the new generation of Confucian businessmen!"

And the foreign media have also been shaken.

"Chang is the richest writer ever seen by mankind, and by writing, he has earned tens of millions of dollars in calculated wealth. If that were all there was to it, the United States would be able to find a bunch of writers who paid more than him.

However, what is shocking is that Zhang Shaojie's investment vision is not inferior to his writing ability. In just three years, he has controlled Asia Television (one of the two major TV media in Hong Kong), Commonwealth Publishing (the second largest publishing company in the Hong Kong comics industry), and invested in Asia's most powerful film company - Powerlong Films!

In addition, the dark horse of the world's software industry, ORD Technology, the world's largest game company, Xiaobawang Games. Now Zhang Shaojie has controlled a well-known newspaper company in Hong Kong, Ming Pao Newspaper Group, and now Zhang Shaojie is only 20 years old! ”

- Time Magazine review.

In the latest issue of Time Magazine, Zhang Shaojie became the cover character. On the cover of Time Magazine, Zhang Shaojie is holding a pen and writing on a map. Around Zhang Shaojie, there are movies, comics, music, television, newspapers, game consoles, computers and other objects. It shows the territory of Zhang Shaojie's career

NHK TV, which is good at producing documentaries, also sent a documentary team to Hong Kong, ready to spend 5 million Hong Kong dollars to create "The Power of Longteng, Entertainment Giant Zhang Shaojie"!

NHK is known for producing high-quality documentaries, on a par with the BBC in the UK. Since the 80s, NHK has been working with Chinese television media to produce numerous documentaries on China.

These documentaries have changed from the documentaries smeared and smeared by the Western media in the past, and basically any documentaries related to China are often extremely positive. From China's history and culture to the rise of China's modern society, NHK has blown the magnificence.

If you only watch NHK documentaries to understand China, most of the audience will think that China is the creation of human civilization, China saves the world, and China leads the world to progress.

It is also for this reason that NHK's documentaries often like to stand on China's standpoint, and even worship China more than the Chinese, so NHK is called "annihilation of Taiwan" and "Tonggong Taiwan" by the right-wing militarists in Yuben.

However, most viewers who have watched NHK documentaries feel that the level of being able to make a documentary with that kind of atmosphere really belongs to the world's first-class level.

Zhang Shaojie's Asia Television has good TV drama production capabilities, but the level of documentaries is undoubtedly not as good as NHK!

If you are interviewed by NHK and made into a documentary. It is beneficial to enhance Zhang Shaojie's personal image and the popularity of the company, so Zhang Shaojie happily accepted an interview with NHK.

"How did you come up with the idea of writing, did you like being a writer since you were a child, or did you like to be a writer," reporter Kana Oshima, who speaks fluent Chinese, asked.

"When I was a child, I liked to read books, I read everything, and I never thought of writing myself. However, when I grew up, I was forced by life to have to write to make money, but I didn't expect to be so successful! Zhang Shaojie raised his eyebrows and said proudly.

"What is the level of your contribution income among writers in Hong Kong?"

"It should be the first!"

"What's your dream?"

"Conquer the world with my pen!"

The NHK documentary team's interview in Hong Kong will last for a month. In addition to interviews in Hong Kong, NHK will also travel to Guangzhou and the United States to get more material to make the ideal documentary.

NHK's reporter team not only introduces Zhang Shaojie himself, but also develops Xiaobawang and other enterprises all over the world. As well as the films produced by Baolong Film Company, the evaluations of audiences and filmmakers around the world are included in the documentary.

The reporter told Zhang Shaojie that it would take at least a year or so for the documentary to be completed. When the production is complete, NHK will send a copy of the tape to Zhang Shaojie.

Zhang Shaojie asked if he could authorize the copyright of this documentary to Asia Television.

The person in charge of NHK told him that the copyright could be licensed to ATV for free. However, NHK hopes to have a better relationship with ATV and Zhang Shaojie himself in the future.

Zhang Shaojie naturally agreed to the cooperation with NHK, after all, he also coveted NHK's documentary production experience.

—————————— as Zhang Shaojie invests in more and more enterprises, the management of major enterprises has also become complicated. It is undoubtedly difficult to coordinate and cooperate with different enterprises.

Sometimes, business friction also occurs between different companies under Zhang Shaojie.

For example, Ming Pao Group's publishing business competes with the book publishing business of Tianxia Publishing. The advertising business of Ming Pao Group may also compete with Asia Television.

These competitions are relatively mild at this time, but in the long run, they will inevitably affect the centripetal force of the entire group.

In order to coordinate the relationship between its enterprises, Zhang Shaojie established another Longteng Holding Group.

Longteng Holding Group, itself does not own business projects, mainly a holding platform, Zhang Shaojie will control the Longteng Entertainment Brokerage, Asia Television, Tianxia Publishing, Ming Pao Newspaper Group, Xiaobawang Group, Sun Hung Kai Company, Shaojie Fund, ORD Technology, Baolong Film, Hong Kong Dejian Library, Taiwan Wansheng Publishing, Yulang International and so on a bunch of shares, all concentrated under Longteng Holding Group.

Longteng Holding Company will employ a large number of talents in management, investment, law and other aspects to become a capital operation team. The purpose of this holding company is to organize and coordinate the resources of the major companies controlled by Zhang Shaojie.

For example, in the event of a conflict between Ming Pao Newspaper's physical book publishing business and Tianxia Publishing, the holding company will coordinate it. Let Tianxia Publishing and Ming Pao Newspaper form a joint venture subsidiary, and the physical book publishing business of the two companies will be handled by the joint venture publishing enterprise. In this way, the relationship between competition in the past began to become a cooperative relationship.

The copyright adaptation resources of Ming Pao can also be sold to Tianxia Publishing, Asia Television, Baolong Films, and Xiaobawang Company with the help of the parent company Longteng Holdings.

All in all, with the establishment of Longteng Holding Company, Zhang Shaojie's scattered career map began to form a whole.

Zhang Shaojie, the general manager of Longteng Holding Group, put Mi Zhen, the former general manager of Xiaobawang Group, in charge. And the general manager of Xiaobawang Company, Mi Zhen recommended Lin William, the person in charge of Guangzhou Xiaobawang.

Although William Lin does not have a formal business school or other education, he has a good international vision and the ability to actually manage the team under the training of Xiaobawang Company.

The most important thing is that William Lin "understands games". In fact, the new game development teams in Guangzhou and Hong Kong were built by William Lin from scratch.

Zhang Shaojie gave the idea, and William Lin was responsible for the successful game projects developed by "Super Mario Bros.", "Alice Cube", "Tank Wars" and other classics.

By '83, Super Mario Bros. had sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide, and Alice Cube had sold 6.7 million copies worldwide. As for the new game "Tank Wars", which only came out this year, it also sold 4.3 million copies.

In fact, the profits created by these three sets of games have reached nearly 200 million US dollars, which is actually the main source of profit for Xiaobawang.

Xiaobawang's game console can sell more than 7 million units at a loss, and it is also because of these big-selling game cartridges to make money to subsidize the loss of the console.

"Mario", "Alice", and "Tank", these three games, even if they have been on the market for a long time, the sales ** have passed.

However, these classic games still sell 50,000 or 60,000 units a month. In other words, these three games will provide at least $2 million in profits to Xiaobawang every month.

The development cost of these games is actually no more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, but now the profits created have reached 5,000 times the original investment, and such a return on investment is already higher than buying the original shares of Apple!

It is precisely because William Lin has developed the three most profitable games in the history of Xiaobawang that he has enough qualifications to serve as the general manager of Xiaobawang Game Company.
