Chapter 51 Intelligence continued
readx;?β Director Wang, now is not the era of heavy agriculture and light business! Sun Yunxuan retorted unceremoniously, and then continued: "No matter where movie stars go, there will be many people who seek after, and Shen Chong is the same, he is the initiator of the knowledge economy, and he has become a billionaire by relying on the knowledge economy, so many people are optimistic about him and trust him, if he invests heavily in Taiwan, he will definitely bring a lot of followers, and the funds and technology brought by these followers may not be less than the $1 billion of Shen Chong himself." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Jiang Jingguo bowed his head slightly and gestured to continue.
"This is Shen Chong's factory for the production of Gameboy game consoles, from May to August, it took three months to produce 2 million units, of which 1.5 million units were sold in the United States, sold out in three days, and another 500,000 units were shipped to Japan for sale, and they were sold out in five hours." Sun Yunxuan has no photos, but there are newspaper clippings, he put the "Los Angeles Times" and "Asahi Shimbun" reports about customers queuing up all night to buy Gameboy on the coffee table, and took out a newspaper clipping from "Computer World", saying: "The number of orders for Gameboy has been as high as 5 million sets, and the construction period is scheduled to be 6 months later, and the demand is so strong, the production capacity of this factory cannot even meet the needs of the United States, so Shen Chong will definitely invest in building a new factory in Asia in the near future." β
"He may go to Japan to build a factory, where there is a big market."
"The cost of labor and land in Japan is too high." Sun Yunxuan hastily explained, then changed the picture, and said: "This is the Z80 microprocessor produced by Zilog Company, it is the core component of Gameboy, Shen Chong signed a super contract with Zilog Company for three years to supply 40 million pieces in May, and at present, Gameboy has produced less than 3 million units, that is to say, Shen Chong believes that the sales of Gameboy will be at least 40 million units, calculated at $188 per unit, Sales of up to $7.5 billion! (Note 1)
Wang Sheng's breath was paused, and Chiang Ching-kuo also showed surprise -- Taiwan has a population of 18 million, and its total GDP was only 338 last year. $700 million!
A small game console, the sales are actually comparable to one-fifth of Taiwan's GDP?
Is the knowledge economy really so powerful?
"He thinks that if he can sell 40 million units, he will definitely be able to sell 40 million units?"
Sun Yunxuan took out two magazines and put them up for Wang Sheng to read, both of which were "Business Weekly", and one of them had a cover titled "Shen's Crazy Gamble!" A cover titled "The gamble is successful, Shen wins!" β
"From May to August, Shen Chong went all out, produced 2 million Gameboys, and invested more than $300 million, and everyone thought he was crazy at the time, but now he is making crazy money." Sun Yunxuan put down the magazine, sighed, and said: "Actually, I don't believe that his game console can sell 40 million units, but with the current momentum, selling 10 million units should not be a problem, 10 million units, that is also a big business of nearly 1.9 billion US dollars, and ...... And who knows what new products Shen Chong will make in the future? If the factory is located in Taiwan, how much more jobs will be created? And how much economic benefit will it bring? β
Wang Sheng was silent, Jiang Jingguo moved his brows, and suddenly remembered the notebook full of newspaper clippings that Shen Chong gave him......
This is an elusive yet brilliant man......
This is a bold and extremely confident person......
It's a pity that it's a Hong Kong person, and it's a Hong Kong person who is not clear with the mainland......
"All in all, Shen Chong is a rare economic wizard with a bright future, even if he can't become our own person in Taiwan, we must encircle him to become a friend of Taiwan, and don't push him to the other side, that will not do any good."
"Talent who doesn't want it." Wang Sheng clenched his fists and pinched his fingers, and said helplessly: "But the united front in the mainland is pervasive, I am afraid that he has already become a member of the Communist Party. β
"Not necessarily." Chiang Ching-kuo was silent for a moment and said: "Chen Xiangmei said that Shen Chong admired Reagan very much, not only attended Reagan's campaign fundraising dinner, but also made some supportive remarks in a TV interview. β
A few months ago, at a press conference, Reagan, a Republican known for his conservatism and assertiveness, openly declared that Taiwan is a country and that the United States wants to establish "state-to-state" diplomatic relations with Taiwan......
Whether Taiwan is a country or not is a matter of principle, and the presidential candidates who openly support the mainland's strong condemnation should not have been passed by the united front...... (Note 2)
Wang Sheng was also a little shaken when he heard this, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Yesterday afternoon, Singapore's Minister of Trade and Industry, Goh Chok Tong, went to Hong Kong and had dinner with Shen Chong, and the two chatted for about an hour, and Goh Chok Tong flew back to Singapore this morning. β
Sun Yunxuan was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What did they talk about?" β
"I don't know the specific situation, I only know that Shen Chong gave Wu Zuodong a document, and the two were smiling and in a good mood when they separated."
"President, please allow me to go to Hong Kong." Sun Yunxuan clenched his fists and said categorically: "Shen Chong's investment can't be snatched away by Singapore, at least not let them all be snatched away." β
"Dean Sun, don't be impatient, Shen Chong will come to Taipei this weekend, why bother, you are the executive president, not an ordinary clerk, don't move lightly."
"The ancients were thirsty for talent, and I heard that there were talents to come to invest, and they welcomed each other, and now Taiwan's economy is in the ascendant, and if you are thirsty for investment, how can there be a reason to sit at home and wait for someone to come, this matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, and not a day can be delayed!" Sun Yunxuan is a technocrat who doesn't care much about politics, so he stands up and says, "I'll let people book air tickets." β
"Dean Sun, don't go." Jiang Jingguo raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and said, "Let Li Guoding go." β
Li Guoding graduated from the National Central University in his early years, and later went to Cambridge University in the United Kingdom for further study, returned to China after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, and went to Taiwan in 1949, successively served as "Minister of Economy", "Minister of Finance" and other positions, and is now a member of the "National Science Committee of the Executive Yuan".
This person is extremely capable, but he has a straightforward and stubborn personality, he doesn't like Jiang Jingguo, he respects him but doesn't kiss him, throws it aside when it's okay, and finds it out when there's something to do.
Li Guoding is a master's degree in physics, proficient in science and technology, and one of the founders of the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, and now he is holding an idle position, so let him contact Shen Chong, but also make the best use of it -- Singapore is a small country with a population of only 2 million, although Goh Chok Tong is the minister of trade and industry, he is not conspicuous, and few people pay attention to him when he goes to Hong Kong, and Sun Yunxuan is Taiwan's "premier" and the number two person in the political arena......
"Is Shen Chong coming to Taiwan on Saturday or Sunday?"
"On Saturday, I will promote the release of Zhang Aijia's new movie."
Sun Yunxuan bowed his head, reported some other government affairs, and then left, and after he left, Wang Sheng saw that Jiang Jingguo was tired, and also got up to say goodbye.
"Huaxing, Shen Chong has a film company in Taiwan, right?"
"Yes, Oriental Charm Taiwan Branch."
"I heard from Youmei that this company has reported the shooting plan of several films, and the Information Bureau has been reviewing it, you find someone to take a look, if it's okay, let them shoot."
Wang Sheng was slightly stunned and persuaded: "Mr. Jiang, it's nothing for Dean Sun to do the economic affairs, but the movie is a sharp weapon for political propaganda, and you can't be cautious." β
"It's right to be cautious and cautious, but it's not good to be suspicious." Chiang Ching-kuo also stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, and said, "Since the mainland dares to use this person, why should I not dare?" β
Wang Sheng nodded yes and said, "Then I'll let people take a look." β
Jiang Jingguo snorted and asked again, "What has Wei Jingmeng been doing lately?" β
"I have been cultivating in Yangmingshan Villa, and I have studied and made a documentary about antiques with a few friends in the literary and art circles."
"He's laid back."
After Wang Sheng left, Jiang Jingguo looked through the glass window at the lush trees outside, and couldn't help but think of the three questions in the notebook.
"How long can one party be dominant?"
"Who will take over the Jiang family? How do you make a living? β
"Today the media is the gun of the party-state, and whose gun is the media tomorrow? Who will comment on the merits and demerits? β
