In 1984, Zhang Shaojie's "Longteng system" was already spectacular, even in Hong Kong, where there are a large number of consortiums, it is also a first-class consortium.

With "Longteng Holdings" as the core, the consortium controls media such as Ming Pao Group and Asia Television, and also owns content manufacturing companies such as Tianxia Publishing and Baolong Films, as well as high-tech companies such as Xiaobawang, Longteng Technology and ORD Technology.

In addition, Longteng also has a stake in Hutchison Whampoa, Sun Hung Kai Financial and other future star enterprises in Hong Kong. "Shaojie Fund" has also begun to have the reputation of the most profitable fund in Hong Kong under Zhang Shaojie's on-demand sowing.

At this time, none of the major companies in the Longteng system were listed.

However, with Zhang Shaojie's keen vision for many industries, most of the enterprises in the entire group are high-quality assets, and none of them are cumbersome.

Holding the group wealth statement of Longteng Holding Company, Zhang Shaojie easily saw that on the group's financial statements, the operating income in 1983 reached an unprecedented 12.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit reached 5.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, the vast majority of these profits are the speculative income of the "Shaojie Fund" in the financial market, excluding the profit of the "Shaojie Fund" last year of 3.5 billion, the real profit of the entire group through industrial operation is only 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Of the HK$3 billion, Xiaobawang Company accounted for HK$2.4 billion. In addition to Xiaobawang, the rest of the group's main profit is only more than 600 million yuan.

In the semi-annual statement for the first half of 84, the group's operating income was HK $7.6 billion, and its profit reached 2.7 billion. In this statement, Xiaobawang's profit accounted for 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, while Shaojie Fund made a profit of 1 billion, and the rest of the company added up to create a profit of 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Zhang Shaojie had a headache and said: "At present, the two major defects of the group are over-reliance on the windfall profits of Xiaobawang and the financial investment income of Shaojie Fund. If, in the future, Xiaobawang loses its huge profits, and financial speculation can no longer create miracles, how slow will the development of other parts be? Moreover, the main income of other parts is too low, so I dare not invest openly! ”

"You're asking too much, aren't you? Like Baolong's film copyright purchase and special effects research and development, the two major fields are completely supported by the profits of the movie box office, and these projects are long-term operations to be effective, and it is rare for the entire company to achieve profitability on the balance sheet. Tianxia Publishing is far from making a profit in opening up the market. The two major companies of Asia Television and Ming Pao, their own markets are close to saturation, and their profit growth is gradually slowing down! Of course, the two major companies of ORD Technology and Longteng Technology have chosen the sunrise industry, and the future is immeasurable! ”

Mi Zhen, who has been the general manager of Xiaobawang Company, is very favored by the high-tech industry. After serving as the general manager of Longteng Holding Company, Mi Zhen's task is mainly to study the market rules of the company's major industries and collect equity dividends from major branches. At the same time, it investigates, analyzes and supervises the projects of subsidiaries, and invests the funds in the group's accounts into the projects of some subsidiaries.

In this era, venture capital is popular in many big capitals. Longteng Holding Company, on the other hand, regards the projects of the group's subsidiaries as venture capital. In this way, the relationship between investors and start-up teams is obviously closer than that between distrustful investors and start-up teams, and the efficiency of capital utilization is far greater than that of venture capitalists.

"In other words, how much liquidity does the group have now?" Zhang Shaojie asked.

"More than 4 billion!" Mi Zhen said, "However, this money is now mainly used to pay the balance of the two major projects of Longteng Building and Longteng Film and Television City." So, if you want to use money, you can mobilize up to HK$1 billion in cash! ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "First loan of 500 million Hong Kong dollars interest-free loan to Longteng Technology, this year Longteng Technology will be on the TFT-LCD generation production line project, at least hundreds of millions of start-up capital." In addition, after the project is launched, the amount of money required will continue to grow every year. In the next ten years, this project will become a gold-swallowing beast, constantly needing financing and investment! ”

Mi Zhen frowned and said, "Could it be that this project is important?" ”

"In the long run, it's very important. Because this is a completely new industry, the future market value of the industry is not even inferior to CPU chips! Zhang Shaojie explained, "This industry will likely become the upstream key component of TV, computer, and mobile phone displays, and its influence on the world's electronics industry is immeasurable." ”

Mi Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "But, don't you think it's too risky?" Can you be sure that this is the mainstream technology standard for market selection in the future? ”

"It's a bit of a bet on the future! However, the project won the bet, you know! Zhang Shaojie said with a smile, "In the traditional industry, if a company wants to follow the steps, how difficult it is to want the overlord of the industry within twenty or thirty years!" To really make a company become a great existence in just ten or twenty years, it still depends on cultivating new industries! Choose the right one, become a great being, choose the wrong one, become a loser, but, don't take risks, you will only become a mediocre person"

"Actually, you don't need to convince me because you're the boss." Mi Zhen's face was expressionless.

"But, you've been convinced!" Zhang Shaojie smiled.

In August ————————————, Shenzhen Longteng Technology Co., Ltd., the newly released 9-inch "Longteng laptop" was newly listed, known as the world's thinnest and lightest laptop, the hardware configuration is basically the same as the mainstream PC computer, the difference is only that the screen size is smaller than the desktop.

Chen Xunzhen, general manager of Longteng Technology, held the first press conference in Hong Kong, declaring:

"Xerox made the world's first personal computer, Osbon made the world's first laptop, IBM started the PC era, and Compaq made the world's first PC-compatible laptop. And now, Longteng Technology, once again standing on the shoulders of giants, has created a new miracle, we have made the world's thinnest laptop weighing only 7 kilograms. Really able to take you with you, you can take it outdoors with you in a suitcase, you can take it home from the office, you can"

With Chen Xunzhen's declaration, Longteng Technology Company made its debut in Hong Kong.

Of course, the reporters are more concerned about the relationship between Longteng Technology Company and Longteng Department.

Chen Xunzhen explained: "Longteng Holding Company is our controlling shareholder, and Shenzhen Shekou Industrial Zone and China Merchants are also one of our shareholders. ”

Such an explanation immediately caused a sensation in the media throughout Hong Kong.

It's just a matter of having the background of the Longteng system, Shenzhen Shekou Industrial Zone, and China Merchants are also shareholders of Longteng Technology!

Shekou Industrial Zone is well-known in Hong Kong. Not long ago, Hong Kong real estate developers who cooperated with Shenzhen sold thousands of commercial houses in Hong Kong just by relying on the real estate design drawings of Shenzhen, which has not yet started. It can be seen that in the 80s, in the eyes of many people in Hong Kong, Shekou Industrial Zone was also a hot land with endless opportunities.

China Merchants has a history of 100 years. In Hong Kong, China Merchants is also an important representative of the Chinese Central Political Axe stationed in Hong Kong. Although, the capital of China Merchants is only a few hundred million. However, in the eyes of many Hong Kong people, China Merchants Bureau, which once had the signboard of China's first national enterprise, may not be able to conjure billions or tens of billions of capital in its mysterious vault.

The Yanjing of Longteng Technology Company is so big, and it is constantly hyped by the Hong Kong media.

In Hong Kong, all kinds of rumors are flying.

What kind of Chinese Yanjing political axe sent experts to build satellites and rockets to help Long Teng design computers.

What else Zhang Shaojie secretly invests tens of billions of yuan, preparing to build an IBM in Asia and the like.

Ordinary consumers are also quite curious about laptops, plus Longteng's notebook computer is only priced at 12,800 Hong Kong dollars, which is almost the same as an ordinary PC-compatible machine, and more than half cheaper than Compaq laptops. You must know that Compaq's laptop, which weighs 15 kilograms, is priced at more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Longteng Technology Co., Ltd. continues to promote in the media, the scientific and technological content of the LCD screen, and the significance of the world's thinnest laptop.

The advertisement of Asia Television is: "The world's thinnest and lightest laptop, created by Longteng Technology!" ”

The newly opened science and technology page of "Ming Pao" is dedicated to the analysis column of the world's mainstream notebook computers, which has evaluation articles showing that the notebook computers produced by "Longteng Technology" are not inferior to any laptop in the world in terms of workmanship and surname, and the price is the cheapest.

In August 84, in Hong Kong's shopping malls, Longteng laptops quickly became the new favorite of consumers.

When a reporter from Asia Television interviewed consumers in the mall, he was stunned by the crowds of customers in the computer sales mall! Hundreds of customers are coming for Longteng laptops.

A consumer said excitedly: "Longteng Technology, this is to be a price butcher!" The laptop of 25,000 Hong Kong dollars was cut in half! ”

A young student said, "I have just been admitted to the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong this year. I'm a computer student, so I can't do without a computer. After the analysis and recommendation of our professor, I think that Longteng laptop, very suitable, surname price ratio advantage is obvious, more on this computer has more than 10 free genuine software, just these software, if you really want to buy, it will cost 2000 Hong Kong dollars! ”

Another gentleman said with a smile: "On the Longteng laptop, it is said that there is a unique video tape playback software. As long as you add a peripheral hardware with a unit price of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, the Longteng computer can also be used as a video recorder. A video recorder also costs more than 10,000 yuan, and it is too cost-effective to buy a computer at such a price."
