Chapter 403: Impact Incident

In the first half of the year, because there was no suitable schedule, "Rocky 2" and "Jaws 2", which had completed filming and completed post-production, had not yet been released. "Jaws 2" has been scheduled to be released in the summer in July this year, while "Rocky 2" will be released around Christmas. And "Moonlight Panic", which was filmed last year, will not be released until Halloween.

The other three films invested by Xu Guanwu, "Alien", "Superman" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", are also under intense filming now, but according to news from the United States, the first part of the movie "Superman" has been completed, and it is estimated that it will be released around Thanksgiving, which will also be in the second half of the year.

Without the huge cash flow brought by the high box office, Xu Guanwu can only use other funds first. And the place where he moved his huge amount of money was the hinterland, which was just about to carry out reform and opening up.

Hui's wants to build the first private cinema in the mainland after the founding of the People's Republic of China, of course, the private cinema does not cost much, and it will cost two or three million Hong Kong dollars to complete the three cinemas, and it will definitely not be worse than the cinemas in Hong Kong. In the late 70's and early 80's, housing prices in the mainland were so cheap.

So he mobilized a large amount of money not to build a theater, but to invest in the field of aerospace communications. When meeting with Xu Guanwu, Xi conveyed the opinion of Deng Gong, the mentor of reform and opening up, that the method proposed by Xu Guanwu was feasible, so he was allowed to invest in the field of aerospace communications. Of course, it is only a part of the shares. When aerospace communications officially began to set foot in the civilian field, Xu Guanwu was able to participate in the company's decision-making and operation. Until then, he can only provide funds.

Even with such harsh conditions. It is also very good news for Xu Guanwu. Who doesn't know that as long as you can catch up with the country. The money is basically exhausted. The imperial merchants in ancient times were like the Xue family in "Dream of Red Mansions". But gold is like earth, and gold is like iron. At present, state-owned units, especially those such as aerospace and aerospace that do not worry about competition, have very secure profits.

Xu Guanwu estimated that even if all his business was closed in the end, just relying on this stake in the mainland would allow future generations to have food and clothing. The reason why he took the trouble to deal with the mainland was that he also had the idea of leaving an extra road for himself. In the future, China's rise is quite fast, and there are even more signs of catching up with the United States to become the world's largest economy.

If we can really build good relations with the mainland in advance, then we will be able to take off with the motherland in the future. As the so-called bird flies away with Luan and Feng, Xu Guanwu will not let go when he bites it.

Investing in research and development of aerospace communications requires a large amount of money. According to Xu Guanwu's estimate, it will cost at least more than one billion US dollars, of course, it is not that much money is needed in one year, but that a large amount of money is needed year by year. And the mainland also has to pay, which allows Xu Guanwu to hold on.

……

In North America, except for the temporary inability to release movies, other investment companies are running quite normally. MICROSOFT HAS FOUND A NUMBER OF FRANCHISEES FOR VISICALC CHALK ASH SOFTWARE, AGREEING THAT THEIR COMPUTERS CAN USE VISICALC CHALK ASH SOFTWARE, AND MICROSOFT WILL RECEIVE SOME ROYALTIES FOR EACH COMPUTER THEY SELL.

And with this method of cooperating with hardware vendors to make small profits but quick turnover, Microsoft has sold hundreds of thousands of sets of software. And it has become one of the most well-known software vendors in the United States.

And Apple didn't let Microsoft specialize in the United States, and they researched and developed the Apple II computer. Hundreds of thousands of units have also been sold. In addition, according to Xu Guanwu's suggestion, Apple also launched the Apple Model II upgraded computer, which is five times more expensive than the ordinary Apple Type II computer, which is a computer that can only be used by the aristocracy. And because they sell software and hardware together, they make far more money than Microsoft.

Apple has become a well-known high-tech company in Silicon Valley and has attracted the attention of many venture capital firms. However, because the power is under Xu Guanwu's control, Xu Guanwu also has other considerations about whether to raise funds again.

If he does not raise money, Xu Guanwu will undoubtedly be able to obtain most of the dividends of Apple's future development, which will make him a very rich person. But in this way, it is inevitable to offend these venture capital funds, you must know that they are the main force of the US economy, and it is likely that there are some chaebols and family bulls standing behind them. If Xu Guanwu wants to eat alone and doesn't give them some, I'm afraid that Apple's future development will be in trouble.

First of all, it is very important that the U.S. government will never allow a foreigner to monopolize the U.S. personal computer industry. If Xu Guanwu does not make concessions now, I am afraid that what awaits him in the future will not be banknotes but butcher knives.

Now that the personal computer industry is in its infancy, its importance has not yet been realized. But in a few years, when the personal computer becomes popular and becomes an important partner that people cannot leave in their lives and work, the importance of the computer will definitely attract the attention of the government.

And when they found out that the major computer hardware and computer software companies in the United States were invested and controlled by a single person, and this person was not an American citizen, they were afraid that that person would be in trouble. At that time, Xu Guanwu will not face these consortia, but the US government.

At that time, a ban on Microsoft and Apple could be banned, for example, by not allowing government departments to purchase computers and operating systems that are not controlled by the country. The performance of Microsoft and Apple will inevitably be seriously impacted, and when the time comes, Xu Guanwu's losses will naturally be inevitable.

In fact, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Cisco and other companies are actually inextricably linked to the U.S. government. In the prism scheme exposed by Snowden in the previous life, these Internet companies became accomplices of the U.S. government, helping them to spy on the use of their customers by the entire world.

It is precisely because these Internet companies are so important that the US government will not allow Xu Guanwu, an outsider, to control major US high-tech companies. Therefore, Xu Guanwu must make some concessions before being sanctioned again, but how much to make concessions must also be carefully considered. Otherwise, they will get out of the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den. Sooner or later, he was eaten alive by the wolves of Wall Street.

……

Come to think of it. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but close the file irritably. Standing depressedly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at Victoria Harbour outside, my heart was full of depression that was difficult to resolve.

Once upon a time, he thought that with his identity as a traverser, he could make a steady profit by engaging in wind and rain. But he now realizes that no matter how powerful a person is, no matter how rich he is, no matter how talented he is. Nor can it compete with one country, one government. After all, others are the real rule-makers, and in the rules they make, they fight with others, and the winners and losers have already been determined.

After looking at the invincible sea view outside for a long time, Xu Guanwu's inner depression still couldn't be resolved. At this time, the phone in his office suddenly rang, startling Xu Guanwu.

He hurriedly walked over and picked up the phone, but heard the eldest brother Xu Guanwen shouting on the phone. "Ah Wu, turn on the TV."

"Turn on the TV. What's going on? Xu Guanwu asked puzzled.

"When you turn on the TV, you will know that there are police officers who have stormed the Independent Commission Against Corruption." Xu Guanwen shouted loudly, which startled Xu Guanwu. The police rushed into the Independent Commission Against Corruption, isn't this tantamount to rebellion?!

Xu Guanwu hurriedly turned on the TV in the office, and then tuned to TVB. I saw a host holding a microphone in his hand, pointing at the camera and quickly saying, "This is a TVB special news report, I'm reporter Lin Ahua, just at 2:15, about hundreds of police officers and their families rushed into the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and there were fierce clashes with the staff of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and some people have been injured." There was chaos at the scene, and no one was in order......"

Through the camera, Xu Guanwu saw that there were many people rushing around in the ICAC building, and there were also shouting and insulting voices, and the scene was really chaotic, as if the end of the world.

"Ah Wu, you saw the TV." Xu Guanwen asked.

"See, see, how can this be? Haven't the police always been afraid of the Independent Commission Against Corruption? How could this still happen? Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"I don't understand the specific situation, in short, it's probably driving the dog into the poor alley, and the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry." Xu Guanwen thought for a while and said, "Inevitably, this chaos will spread, you should quickly gather the security team to ensure that our headquarters building is not impacted." ”

"It shouldn't be that serious, what are they doing at our company headquarters, and there is not much cash here. If those policemen are brave enough, robbing HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, and hijacking the governor of Hong Kong, it seems that they have a better chance of winning. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Oh, you forgot about the catastrophe in the past six years, if people are forced to be in a hurry, they can do anything." Xu Guanwen hurriedly said, "Besides, it's just the police chaos now, and a small number of people can still control it, in case some lawbreakers also take the opportunity to mess up, then what should we do?" They don't care if you have money or not, they make a big splash, and they will smash it first. So you quickly gather the security team and prepare to send out the fire at any time. ”

"Okay, okay, big brother, don't be impatient, I'll send someone to arrange it immediately." Xu Guanwu listened, although he felt that the eldest brother's reason was a bit far-fetched, but it was not good to refute it more, so he immediately called Liang Shuyi and asked her to assemble the security team under the Brilliant Cinema Line and stand by at any time.

When he turned against the Ma brothers, Xu Guanwu summoned a group of security personnel to patrol and defend the building, and at least he could make a phone call when someone came to attack. Later, after the demise of the Ma brothers, these people have not been disbanded, on the contrary, their number has increased. This security team is still used to patrol the properties of the Hui Group, including factories and warehouses in the New Territories, Brilliant Cinemas, the headquarters of the Hui Group, etc.

Liang Shuyi had also heard the rumors before Xu Guanwu called, and after receiving Xu Guanwu's instructions, she immediately began to gather people and arranged them near the Brilliant Cinema Line on Kowloon Island, which is more chaotic than Hong Kong Island and is easy to attract the covetousness of criminals.

While Hui's security upgrades are being made, the Hong Kong market is also not very quiet. People heard the news on the radio, on television, or by word of mouth, and everyone who heard the news hurried home. The Governor's Office also appealed to the public not to panic, but not to wander outside. Declare that everything is under control and warn the outlaws not to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

Sometimes the words of the Hong Kong Governor's Office have to be listened to in reverse, and you can do whatever it doesn't let you do, and there are usually no problems. Xuancheng to the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion is under control, but in fact, it has been out of control during this time. And his warning to the lawbreakers not to take advantage of the situation is actually a reminder that now is a good time to do evil.

For a time, petty theft, robbery and extortion, robbery, and lawbreakers all took advantage of the police's inability to control them, and committed many cases one after another, making people more and more panicked in the market.

Zhao Yazhi was very worried about Xu Guanwu's safety, she got the news through the TV station for the first time, and immediately called Xu Guanwu.

"Husband, you're fine, right?" Zhao Yazhi asked worriedly. (To be continued......)
