Chapter 679 [I Have to Pay Tuition Fees]
In mid-September, Mr. Tung, the head of the Hong Kong Government, issued the 'Second Policy Address', officially defining 'rejuvenating Hong Kong with culture', 'establishing a port with science and technology' and 'Hong Kong with Chinese medicine' as the major policy policies of the Hong Kong Government, as well as a number of other matters.
For a time, the spirit of the citizens of Xiangjiang was greatly shaken and they applauded.
Hong Kong has begun to realize that its high-rise buildings and real estate services alone are no longer enough to withstand the repeated attacks of international financial predators. In the field of "culture" and "science and technology", Heungjiang has laid a very solid foundation, especially the two giants represented by ATV Group and Wanhui Media, which have become the representatives of these two fields and the pride of the citizens of Heungjiang.
If the 6 million people in Hong Kong have paid more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars each in order to defend the linked exchange rate; In the long run, if at a cost of less than 1 percent, that is, 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, can cultivate a number of technology-intensive emerging enterprises based in the mainland and Hong Kong for the Hong Kong stock market, Hong Kong's ability to withstand international storms in the future may be 100 times more effective.
Xiangjiang is no longer the Xiangjiang of the previous life!
In the field of culture alone, Hong Kong is proud to be proud of Asia and enter the 'world cultural powerhouse' industry, from Hong Kong dramas, HK-pop, Hong Kong comprehensives, to software and games, Hong Kong's status in the cultural field can only be compared with Japan, which is also an Asian country.
When Mr. Tung released the 'Second Policy Address', the people of Hong Kong immediately thought of Lam Cho-fai.
"A few years ago, Mr. Lin Zuhui successively released the proposals of 'cultural rejuvenation', 'science and technology port', and 'traditional Chinese medicine port' in the media, right?"
"Not really! At that time, everyone's energy was focused on real estate, and they didn't pay too much attention to it; Now I found out that only Mr. Lin Zuhui in Xiangjiang is 'sober alone', and he deserves to be the richest man in the world. ”
"Not really! Mr. Lin not only made a proposal, but also proved it with practical actions. Now it seems that there is Mr. Lin Zuhui in Xiangjiang, which is really a blessing for Xiangjiang. ”
Citizens talked about the great achievements of ATV Group and Wanhui Media Group, and for a time they also praised Lin Zuhui; Coupled with Lin Zuhui's 'bailout' with the Hong Kong government, his reputation skyrocketed for a while.
The two groups support more than 15,000 people, and the financial crisis did not lead to a large number of layoffs, which alone is a great achievement.
Just three days after the release of the 'Policy Address', 18 performing arts troupes in Hong Kong launched an 'anti-piracy' march, which was a huge demonstration, and at the same time, a number of radio stations in Hong Kong also responded to the event by stopping the broadcast of songs and music.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wanhui Media's newspapers and Asia Television have released 'anti-piracy' news and 'support genuine' advertisements.
This time, the scale was far greater than before, and the Hong Kong government subsequently said that it would crack down on 'piracy' and declare war on forces that 'endanger Hong Kong culture'.

Stick Country.
Kim Dae-jong's secretary came to his office and reported: "General Barrel, Xiangjiang has released the second policy plan. ”
Jin Dazhong was stunned for a moment, and said a little inexplicably: "Hong Kong released a policy plan, why do you want to talk to him?" ”
The secretary hurriedly said: "That's right, in the second policy plan of Xiangjiang, the plans of 'rejuvenating Hong Kong with culture', 'establishing a port with science and technology', and 'establishing a port with traditional Chinese medicine' are clarified, which coincides with the policy of 'building a country with culture' that you are about to propose." ”
Jin Dazhong's embarrassed expression flashed, and then said: "Xiangjiang only has a population of 6 million, and it used to be a colony, what culture can be developed, not to mention the development of high technology, they have an industrial chain!" So there is no need to worry, the 'cultural nation' that I am about to propose is the establishment of a huge cultural system, a comprehensive system of thousands of years of history and the culture of the new era of our Republic of Korea. Little Xiangjiang, they don't understand that culture is a systematic development plan. ”
After saying these words, Jin Dazhong suddenly became imposing.
In fact, of course, he knows the influence of HK-POP, Hong Kong dramas, and Hong Kong Variety in Asia and the world; However, he felt that the Republic of Korea could come from behind and have greater influence in Asia and the world.
Because, Xiangjiang has a population of only 6 million, while South Korea has a population of nearly 50 million.
The secretary nodded and said, "I believe that Your Excellency the President will definitely lead Korean culture to lead the trend of the world!" ”
"Haha, it's a bit early to say that, but of course we have to have faith. We also need to formulate better laws to protect the cultural industry and encourage enterprises to develop the cultural industry. ”
"Yes!"
........
With the release of the second policy plan of the Xiangjiang government, major enterprises and chaebols in Xiangjiang have also set up entertainment companies one after another.
As far as Lin Zuhui knows, Liu Luanxiong, Yang Shoucheng, Pan Disheng, Fang Jin and other friends have recently been considering imitating YG Entertainment and establishing a new generation of entertainment companies.
For a time, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong began to flourish.
ATV Group.
Lin Zuhui sat in the office, looking in a very good mood. Everyone is competing, and he doesn't have to worry at all, after all, he originally hoped that Heung Kong would develop a 'Hong Kong culture'.
Hong Kong stream culture has been developing for seven or eight years, and during this period, it is not the ATV group that is developing, like TVB has also become a large group that comprehensively develops 'port stream culture', except for movies, such as entertainment companies and Hong Kong stream dramas, all of which have mature technology.
There is no shortage of markets for Hong Kong culture, and there is already a mature experience in overseas and mainland development, especially in the mainland, where the stars of the stick country and small days can't get into it at all, and the stars of Taiwan Island can share some scraps, but the entertainment market of Taiwan Island is occupied by half of the Hong Kong stream.
Lin Zuhui knows that this is the first wave of Hong Kong culture, and the second wave is about to start, which will establish the world status of 'Hong Kong culture' in one fell swoop.
Flipping through the planning materials of Hong Kong Comprehensive's "X-Man", Lin Zuhui seems to have returned to the era when he stayed up late to watch it in his previous life.....
Of course, "X-Man" cannot be 'plagiarized' according to the previous life, it can only be said that the mode, game, and rules are almost the same.
"Dongdong"
"Come in"
Zhao Zhenqiang walked in and asked respectfully, "Boss, the planning information of "X-Man"? ”
He can't wait to prepare for filming, although it's just a show, but according to the boss, this is the real originator of 'Hong Kong Stream Variety Show';
Lin Zuhui closed the plan and said with a smile: "I took a casual look, I think it's very good, I like the three hosts, so let's set up the project like this!" ”
The host is not the star he knew well in his previous life, but the comedian star and host cultivated by ATV Group itself; The reason is actually very simple, with the rise of Hong Kong culture, even the four heavenly kings have to consider retreating, not to mention those traditional stars. The entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is developed, at least several times higher than in the previous life, and many popular stars may be unknown in the previous life, or even ordinary people.
In short, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong has changed!
Originally, in the previous life, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong had declined since the late 90s, and it happened that in this life, it was inherited and carried forward by the Hong Kong culture.
"Okay, if it goes well, we can officially meet the audience in early November! PD will also be revised in time according to the audience's reaction, and it will not disappoint! ”
With the implementation of the PD system of ATV Group, the efficiency of the whole group has improved a lot! If PD plans good programs and dramas, it will enjoy a certain share of advertising, which is actually a bonus to increase everyone's enthusiasm.
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and said, "How is the progress of "Meteor Garden"? ”
"The 1999 New Year's drama, there is no problem with time!"
"Hmm"
"Meteor Garden" will be used as a key Hong Kong drama in 1999, this kind of phenomenal Hong Kong drama, if one can be produced a year, it can almost support the ATV Group's 'head Hong Kong drama';
However, the overall quality of the dramas of the ATV Group is definitely not the time after the 21st century in South Korea's previous life. After all, the level of selling tens of thousands of episodes every year is the best test.
Therefore, although Lin Zuhui still has some goods, he will not shake them out too early, just shake one a year, and it should be regarded as an addition.
.......
City.
Lin Zuhui came to the Xiaomi Science and Technology Park in a low-key manner, at this time he is no longer the chairman of Xiaomi Technology, Zou Kaixuan is; Zou Kaixuan also stepped down from the position of president, the president was served by professional manager Li Luobaolai, and the vice president was served by the mainland talent A Duanlai.
History has changed, there is no backgammon president A Duan, only A Duan with an annual salary of nearly 10 million in Xiaomi Technology.
As for Li Luobao, he is a Chinese American who immigrated to the United States from Taiwan and was invited back by Xiaomi Technology. What Xiaomi Technology values is that he has rich experience as an international corporate executive, which will help to sell Xiaomi's business and products overseas.
Sitting on the sofa in Zou Kaixuan's office, Lin Zuhui drank tea leisurely, in a very good mood. Although he does not directly hold Xiaomi Technology, it affects his mood to watch the growth of Xiaomi Technology.
After chatting with Zou Kaixuan for a while, Li Luobao knocked on the door and walked in, and saw Lin Zuhui stunned for a moment, and quickly recovered.
"Hello, Mr. Lin!" Li Luobao hurriedly greeted.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "President Li, please take a seat!" ”
Li Luobao nodded, sitting on the sofa, he probably knew the relationship between Lin Zuhui and Zou Kaixuan, as for who Lin Zuhui was from Xiaomi Technology, that was the public founder and the current major shareholder.
"I came to learn about the development of Xiaomi technology, so I invited President Li to solve your doubts and not affect your work!"
Li Luobao hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin said with a smile, you are the founder and major shareholder of Xiaomi Technology, and you are naturally my boss, so it is natural to report to you." ”
Lin Zuhui nodded, and then learned about the situation of Xiaomi Technology one by one.
At present, although the VCD market is still quite large, the share of Xiaomi Technology has fallen to 22%; The important thing is that the profit is already very small.
The core business of Xiaomi Technology now is: mobile phones, PHS, at present, Xiaomi Technology's mobile phones are involved in domestic copycats and international well-known brands, and the sales volume is there, but the profit is not high; PHS has only been developing for a year, and due to the government's attitude, the development is still very slow.
Lin Zuhui asked: "In the event of a financial crisis in Asia, have you developed your PHS business to Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Russia, Japan and South Korea?" ”
You must know that if there were 100 million PHS businesses in the mainland in the previous life, these regions and countries also have this scale, otherwise how did the market value of the previous life be 30 billion US dollars.
Li Luobao nodded hurriedly and said, "We have formulated an overseas development business plan and are now applying for permits from these countries!" ”
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction, you must know that in the field of PHS, Xiaomi Technology has been deeply cultivated for many years, and has R&D centers in the United States, the mainland, and Japan; In terms of technical level, it is already one of the most advanced enterprises in the world.
It can be said that assuming that before the advent of smart phones, if the development of Xiaomi Technology's mobile phones is not very good, then PHS will become a pillar product, and it can even be said to be the most important product.
After all, Xiaomi Technology is still lagging behind a lot in competition with top brands such as Nokia and Motorola; It is only much higher than the level of domestic copycat machines, because Xiaomi Technology's mobile phones have their own core technology, as well as the long-established 'Xiaomi' brand.
"Keep my words in mind, PHS products and communication technology are an industry worth tens of billions of dollars for Xiaomi Technology. Assuming that the number of users in Huaxia is 100 million, then there are 100 million in other overseas countries, so we must develop with our hearts. ”
Li Luobao naturally knew the prospect of PHS, and immediately said: "Yes, Mr. Lin rest assured, Xiaomi Technology has attached great importance to PHS technology from the beginning, and it is definitely the world's leading at present." ”
The core products of Xiaomi Technology are: VCD/DVD, mobile phones, PHS; As for telephones, USB flash drives, etc., the current profit scale is not large.
Although MP3 was the first invention of Xiaomi Technology, it has no patent rights, and it has not even been promoted, and the total sales volume is only tens of thousands of units; On the contrary, it was the United States that made a big stir (and the record company won the lawsuit), which made MP3 famous.
But in any case, MP3 was invented by Xiaomi Technology in the second half of 1997, and it was also invented by the Chinese, which is an honor in the future.
In terms of USB flash drive, at present, more patent fees are collected, Kingston pays the most, and as for product sales, it can also rank among the top five in the world, mainly because the penetration rate of domestic computers is not high.
"What is the company's financial situation?" Lin Zuhui asked with concern.
Li Luobao showed a look of admiration on his face, the founder listed Xiaomi Technology before the financial crisis, and Xiaomi Technology was backed by Lin Zuhui, so a lot of funds were raised.
"The financial situation is good, although we have invested a lot in technology research and development, but we have a lot of good products, so the company still has more than 8 billion cash flow on the books. Although PHS and mobile phone businesses have not yet really developed, VCD/DVD is a bit twilight; However, businesses such as semiconductors, USB flash drives, and telephones can provide hundreds of millions of profits. ”
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "This is the mode of fighting to feed the war, the more best-selling electronic products, the more cash flow will be, and more research and development expenses can be spent." By the way, the mainland and the world are becoming more and more integrated, so English will become more important. In my opinion, Xiaomi Technology is going to set up a repeater division, once the policy is announced in the future, the English test focuses on speaking, and this repeater has a market of tens of millions per year and a market of one billion. ”
Although Xiaomi Technology has a big business, it can earn a little is a little.
Li Luobao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll immediately arrange for the establishment of the repeater division." ”
Lin Zuhui said: "There is also the MP3 division, we must pay attention to the technological revolution, not that there is no market in China, but that the market of the whole world has not yet arrived." To put it bluntly, MP3 will have a wider market than the Sony Walkman of the year. Xiaomi technology can be promoted in the mainland, although it is cheaper to come from later manufacturers, but after all, it has also launched our brand. ”
Li Luobao feels that Lin Zuhui's most powerful thing is not technology, but vision. The words that came out of his mouth were as if they were prophets, and they were convincing.
"Well, Mr. Lin's words make a lot of sense! Our MP3 division of Xiaomi Technology has been developing technology, attaches great importance to it, and the software is not worried, and the music software under Jinsoft Software is our partner. ”
These have already been laid out, of course, through Zou Kaixuan.
"Also, we have to find a way to buy one from Japan and South Korea, and we have invested in this area for so many years, it's time for real development! Even if it's a low-generation production line, it's better than nothing. When we entered semiconductors, it was still a low-end product, and now we can produce mid-range products. ”
"Okay, I'll start building a team and go to Japan and South Korea to seek opportunities!"
"It doesn't matter if the price is high, you have to pay tuition!"
"Yes!"
The high-generation production line will definitely be blocked by technology, but if the low-generation production line, coupled with the impact of the financial crisis, there may not be no opportunities; Even if there is no chance, once China joins the WTO (2001), the technological blockade will not be so strict.
In short, the opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared, compared to the current BOE, Xiaomi technology is not a problem in all aspects. There is a stable profit income (20~3 billion Hong Kong dollars), there are very promising products (mobile phones, PHS, USB flash drives, MP3, etc.), even if it is to raise funds or issue bonds in the stock market next year, there is no problem at all.
But after Li Luobao left, Lin Zuhui smiled and said to Zou Kaixuan: "You are the boss now, do you feel more relaxed?" ”
Zou Kaixuan leaned in towards Lin Zuhui and said, "It's a little easier, but I have to supervise them to carry out the 'you put forward the opportunity', so they will really dare to regard themselves as bosses." Of course, the two children are well taken care of, you can rest assured! ”
Lin Zuhui nodded, Xiaomi Technology is now full of talents, not only introducing international professional managers, but also networking the big names in the previous life, which can be described as a bright future.
Leaders at the national level come to the Xiaomi Science and Technology Park every year to inspect and give great support and evaluation.
