Chapter 146 Trip Cancellation

The ship crossed the Taiwan Strait and then came to Hong Kong.

To be honest, Catherine did not have a very clear impression of Hong Kong before the handover. She just remembers that she had watched countless Hong Kong police movies and gangster movies in her previous life.

It seems that in the 80s and 90s, the Hong Kong film industry was dominated by the underworld.

Of course, this is just Catherine's impression of Hong Kong, and she doesn't know much if this is the case.

Catherine also conducted a small survey of Hong Kong before she came, and found that the current film industry in Hong Kong is basically controlled by Shanghainese, most of which are Chinese films, which are very different from Cantonese films in the 80s.

But how many people on the streets of Hong Kong can speak Chinese, Catherine is not sure.

In fact, Catherine came to Hong Kong with a little caution.

That is, in the future, especially in 10 years, Hong Kong can be a springboard to a wider market. It's just that it's almost 1966 now, and Catherine doesn't want to go there for the time being.

When she came to Hong Kong, Catherine found that there were many people wearing cheongsam.

The cheongsam in the modern sense was originally a modified fashion of the Republic of China that combined Western costumes, and it is precisely because of the combination of Western elements that people in Europe and the United States generally think that the cheongsam is very good, so the cheongsam has become an international costume.

However, Hong Kong's local youth, more of them, are hippie style, bell bottoms, toad glasses, etc., wearing cheongsams, many of them are Westerners.

"What a strange place."

This was Catherine's first impression of Hong Kong after she got off the ship.

Westerners take the eastern route, and Orientals take the western route, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of incongruity, but it is so reasonable in this place.

"Miss."

Just as Catherine was looking around, the security guards who came to Hong Kong first were already waiting there, black cars, black suits, black sunglasses, how to look at the feeling of style.

Due to her impression of Hong Kong, Catherine had arranged more than a dozen members of the umbrella to come here in advance.

"Hmm."

Catherine nodded at the man who greeted her.

"You're Kane?"

The other man nodded at Catherine.

The man looked like he was about thirty years old and had a scar on his face, which was left on the battlefield in Vietnam.

Kane was seriously injured in Vietnam and was likely to be disabled for life, so after the injury, the man was retired. What he didn't expect was that Kane's recovery was quite good, and he didn't even leave any sequelae, the shrapnel scars on his thighs and the scars on his face were all the injuries caused to him by the Vietnam War.

After that, this person joined the umbrella company.

Now, he's in charge of Catherine's entire trip to Hong Kong.

Catherine thought this person was very good, and she even considered whether she could make the other person her personal bodyguard.

The Kowloon area is probably the most chaotic place in Hong Kong at the moment, so Catherine didn't consider going there for the time being, and most of her itinerary was on Hong Kong Island.

After changing into the cheongsam from the last time, Catherine's trip to Hong Kong began.

But soon, Catherine was disappointed. Ocean Park Hong Kong hasn't even started planning, and Disneyland doesn't know where it is.

On the street, if it's a big road, it's fine, but if it's a small alley, it's a representative of dirty mess.

Hong Kong is also known as a shopper's paradise, with no customs duties on goods here, and some are even cheaper than the country of origin...... But what does the price mean to Catherine?

The rest is only to eat. Hong Kong's food is also a very important reason for Catherine, since there are not many interesting places, then Catherine decided, at least, to eat all over Hong Kong.

By the way, maybe you can meet Jin Yong? Maybe things will be interesting?

But unfortunately, Catherine's plan had not yet started, and the New York side called, which made Catherine have to cancel the next trip.

First, there are two pieces of good news.

The first is the ratings of "Harry Potter", and after the first episode was broadcast, the response was unexpectedly good.

Harry Potter has a wide following, and even though it's a cartoon, they haven't given up.

And, when they saw Catherine's unusual picture, they generally thought it was good. And among the young audience, Catherine also attracted a lot of viewers who had not read the original book.

Just as children like those mature Barbie dolls, Catherine's picture, with a sense of "maturity", produces a similar effect and is liked by children. ,

And the second good news is that "American Idol", in which Elvis Presley is the finale, has finally begun.

The current American society can be said to be on par with money, and the American dream is the equivalent of fame and rich.

Not only did Catherine offer the first place a whopping $200,000 – almost as much as $1 million in 2010 – but Elvis Presley himself and a Warner Records contract.

Warner Records can be said to be an iconic record label in Hollywood.

"Win-win" is their final goal, rather than constantly making enemies, it is better to turn potential enemies into allies. It's never okay to do it all, and you can't turn into a hostile relationship with Hollywood.

It's just that the audition for "American Idol" has just begun, and although there are a large number of applicants, it still needs to wait and see for a while.

Warner Records values "American Idol", not for this show, to be precise, it should be for Catherine's Angel TV and DreamWorks, but Catherine is confident that she will surprise the other party.

But in addition to these two pieces of good news, there are two pieces of bad news.

-- IBM started the development of laser discs, and began to study its own film format on its own.

And the patent team they sent to Intel was also withdrawn.

It was precisely because of this incident that Catherine decided to return to China ahead of schedule.

Of course, Catherine's back-up move was ready.

Dealing with a business giant like IBM, Catherine has an eye for it.

Catherine had in fact succeeded in misleading IBM.

Optical discs are not only used for playing movies, as long as the bit error rate is reduced, it is completely possible to make several discs

On the other hand, the study of fluorescent optical discs was also rejected, and the Office of Quality Supervision and Administration believed that such a high storage capacity was simply not suitable for the present time, and the cost was too high.

In fact, this is also the opinion of Sanders and others, if you want to reverse this ending, you must have Catherine herself in battle.

The development of multimedia is an important step in the development of modern computers, and it is precisely because of multimedia that the demand for storage capacity of computers has increased. If you want to convince them, you have to start from this aspect.

Tourism is important, but Catherine's big plans and big strategies are even more intolerable.

Although it is a pity, Catherine still has to return home.
