CHAPTER 158: SONY RISES
Li Hualong woke up, saw that it was still early, and lay on the bed to reminisce about the sweet dream he had last night.
After a while, Liu Mincheng hadn't woken up yet, Li Hualong wanted to get up and do exercises, he gently pushed Liu Minchen, and said softly: "Chenchen, get up." β
"Aaron, I haven't woken up yet." Liu Minchen opened his worried eyes and said weakly.
"Let's talk about morning luck together!" Li Hualong said with a smile.
"Oh!" Liu Minchen responded, his eyes widened, and he smiled: "Get up!" β
After getting up and washing, Li Hualong and Liu Minchen came to the yard for morning exercise, and the two of them had morning exercise together, which was not boring at all, but very interesting.
Morning Yun sweated, and the two walked hand in hand in the yard.
"Aaron, are you going to work today?" Liu Minchen asked with a smile.
"Go to work at the newspaper." Li Hualong smiled, hearing Liu Minchen's laughter, hearing her smile, his mood would become very happy, "How is Alibaba's watch retail business recently?" β
"Tepid, the performance in August was similar to the performance in July." Liu Minchen said unhappily.
"Alibaba has not been involved in the watch retail industry for a long time, and it needs to accumulate word of mouth for a long time." Li Hualong said with a smile, "Chenchen, don't put too much pressure on yourself, I agree with you to go out to work, but I don't want you to be unhappy." β
"Since I'm out to work, I have to do my best." Liu Minchen said seriously.
"It's hard, you know?" Li Hualong joked with a smile.
"Yes." Liu Minchen smiled confidently, "I believe I can make Alibaba's watch retail business bigger and stronger." β
"You want to be a strong woman?" Li Hualong asked.
"In front of you, I will always be a little woman." Liu Minchen smiled and threw a wink at Li Hualong.
Li Hualong smiled and did not answer.
The two were silent for a while, and after walking for a while, Liu Minchen asked, "You haven't written a novel for a long time, have you?" β
"I've closed my pen and don't write novels anymore."
"It's a shame." Liu Minchen sighed lightly, "Every novel you write. I've watched it a few times and like it very much. If you don't write a novel, there will definitely be a lot of disappointment among book lovers. β
"When did you start reading my novels?" Li Hualong asked curiously.
"When I was in college. Before I was admitted to university, I wanted to read the novels you wrote, but I didn't dare to read them for fear of delaying my studies. β
"What's your favorite novel?"
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
"Which character do you like?"
"Huang Rong, Guo Jing, Yang Kang, Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi and so on. I love them all. Liu Minchen grinned, "What is your favorite "The Legend of Deer and Ding"?" β
"Why do you think that?" Li Hualong asked with a wry smile.
"I feel like you are very similar to Wei Xiaobao in "The Legend of Deer and Ding"...... Wei Xiaobao's character was written based on yourself, right? β
Li Hualong smiled noncommittally and said: "There are 10,000 Hamlets for 10,000 people." β
"You were sweating just now, let's go swimming, so you can go to work more comfortably."
"It's okay to swim, but in broad daylight, you can't think too much!" Li Hualong sneered.
Liu Minchen was slightly stunned, thinking of himself and Li Hualong's lingering pool last night, and a blush appeared on his face. raised his powder fist and hit Li Hualong, and said angrily: "You are dead ......"
"You can't catch up with me!" Li Hualong smiled and ran away.
After a while, Li Hualong and Liu Minchen were swimming in the pool together.
"Chenchen, do you want to stay at my house?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.
Liu Minchen was stunned when he heard this. He pursed his lips and smiled, and asked rhetorically, "Are you inviting me to live at your house?" β
"You can understand that."
Li Minchen smiled sweetly: "Of course I am willing." β
"I'll pick you up in a few days." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Chenchen." I'll give you a name, but I'm not going to be very high-profile and let the world know about it...... Hope you understand. β
"To be able to be with you. I was content. Liu Minchen smiled happily.
Li Hualong was suspended in the water, hugged Liu Minchen's willow waist, and gently kissed her on the lips.
"Do your parents know about me?" Liu Minchen asked in a low voice.
"They already knew, and they supported me to give you a name."
"Really?" Liu Minchen said with a little surprise.
"What's your expression?" Li Hualong smiled, "Do you think my parents will be particularly opposed to me taking a concubine?" β
"I was born into an ordinary family......"
"Stop!" Li Hualong interrupted, "In the future, you will be my Li Hualong's wife, although I can't give you the identity of a wife, but in my eyes, a wife and a concubine are the same...... Hehe, Chongyi and Sisi, you also know and know their place in my heart. β
"Yes. They have an important place in your heart. β
"Last night's woman, you can't be jealous, you have to be generous." Li Hualong smiled and kissed Liu Minchen's lips.
"I know!" Liu Minchen smiled sweetly and nodded, "I heard Chongyi and Sisi say that you only gave them a title after they became pregnant, in order not to make the two sisters unhappy, I hope that when I am pregnant with your child, you will give me a name." β
"Yes! However, you can move to my house early. β
"I'll listen to you."
Three days later, Li Hualong took Liu Minchen to live in Repulse Bay, and Liu Minchen's parents continued to live in Stone Manor.
In late September, Li Hualong set up several tables of banquets at home to celebrate his daughter Li Linwen's full moon birthday.
On Saturday, October 5th, this afternoon, Sony sent a color TV KV-1310 equipped with Trinitron tube technology to Li Hualong's home through GuΓ² Air Transport.
Li Hualong came home from work and saw that the KV-1310 had been disassembled and used.
After watching the effect of this TV series, Li Hualong smiled and said: "This TV will definitely sell well." β
Compared with color TVs in this era,KV-1310The quality is definitely the best in color TVs,Plus there are also advantages in price,Li Hualong firmly believes that the sales of this TV must be hugeγ
"I also think this TV is very good." Li Yisong smiled and asked, "When did Go*Mei Electric Company start selling this TV?" β
"At least a month later. The production capacity of this TV is not large now, but a new production line will soon be launched. Tomorrow, this TV will be available in Japan. In anticipation of a large sales volume, Sony intends to meet the needs of the domestic market before marketing to markets outside of Japan. β
The next day, the color TV KV-1310 was launched in Japan, setting off a rush to buy.
On November 1, the color TV KV-1310 was officially launched in Hong Kong, which is the first time that this TV has been publicly sold in markets outside of Japan.
Go*Mei Electric obtained the exclusive sales of this TV in Hong Kong,Before the listing,Invested a lot of money in newspapers and TVB advertising,After the listing in Hong Kongγ Once again, there was a rush to buy.
After a period of time, the color TV KV-1310 produced and developed by Sony company has landed in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Canada and other countries and regions, and the rush to buy in Japan and Hong Kong has spread to these countries and regions
The popularity of the KV-1310 has led to an increase in Sony's profits, and it took less than two years for the company to pay off huge loans from the Development Bank of Japan and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Bank, which enabled Sony to fund the development of its own patented Trinitron technology.
One evening in mid-November, Li Huawen took his wife Zhou Liyun and daughter Li Linyu to Li Hualong's house for dinner.
After saying hello. Li Hualong asked, "Big brother, do you want your two sons to come over for dinner?" β
"They have dates." Li Huawen smiled bitterly, "Sheng Hua has changed his girlfriend again, and I can't do anything about him now." β
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Li Yisong smiled. "Sheng Hua is so big, you don't have to be too strict, he works very hard. A few days ago, I also saw the completion of a building in Shenghuaji. It's beautiful! β
For Li Shenghua's grandson, Li Yisong is still quite satisfied.
"Abba, the next time you see him. You ask him, after graduating from college, how many girlfriends did he have? Li Yisong shook his head with a wry smile.
"Sheng Hua is still young, and in a few years, his temperament will be stable." Li Yisong said with a smile.
"Just now you said that he was older, and now you say that he is young, and you can say everything." Li Yisong smiled helplessly and sighed lightly, "Don't talk about him." β
"The next time I see Sheng Quan, I'm going to urge him, my third uncle is still waiting to drink his happy wine!" Li Hualong said with a smile.
"Let's wait until your good deeds are done." Li Huawen quipped that he was referring to the matter between Li Hualong and Liu Minchen.
Liu Minchen has been pregnant for more than two months, and in early September, after she and Li Hualong had a good time, she had a premonition that she was pregnant with a child, but she didn't think about it, her premonition came true.
Li Hualong has already picked a good day, and on November 25, he set up a few tables of wine banquets at home to marry Liu Minchen as a concubine.
After chatting a few words, Li Huawen turned the topic to the color TV KV-1310.
"Aaron, the color TV you gave me, I think the quality is very good, the price is also very reasonable, and the sales are very large, right?"
Previously, when Li Hualong sent KV-1310 to Li Huawen, he said the market retail price of this color TV.
"In less than five days after it was listed on the Hong Kong market, more than 10,000 units were sold."
"That's a lot?!" Li Huawen was surprised, "It sells better in Japan? β
"Of course."
"How many of these color TVs have Sony sold?"
"I don't know the exact number, but I know that in the past month or so, Sony's stock price has more than doubled."
"So, the market value of your Sony shares has increased several times?"
"It's just quadrupled. Now, Sony's market capitalization is more than HK$500 million. β
"That's it?" Li Huawen smiled, "I have completely convinced you." β
"Before investing in Sony, I have dealt with this company many times, and I know that this company attaches great importance to product quality, and also attaches great importance to the research and development of new technologies.
"Aaron, do you think your company can become an international giant?" Li Huawen asked.
"Real estate companies are too regional, and if they want to invest in the development of the real estate industry in multiple countries and regions, it is estimated that it will reduce their competitiveness, and there is no need for international large enterprises. InterContinental Hotels Group and Unilever are expected to become international giants. Li Hualong said.
"Speaking of the Intercontinental Hotel, the hotel you invested in the Navy Yard plot has been topped out for a few months and is being renovated, which hotel brand are you going to use?"
"I'm ready to launch a new hotel brand." Li Hualong smiled.
"Why?" Li Huawen was puzzled, "The ownership of the InterContinental Hotel brand belongs to the InterContinental Hotels Group, and it's not good to use the InterContinental Hotel brand!" (To be continued......)
