Chapter 172: Fighting for Li Jiacheng (5.1k)

On the same day, Wujiang Group reached a cooperation with the Fast family in Mexico.

The Fast family will produce pirated VCDs in Mexico and then smuggle VCDs and pirated VCDs to the U.S. border.

However, pirated VCDs are just a small fight after all, and they can't become a climate.

Although Zhao Ye knew that JVC had teamed up with Hollywood Studios to ban "Borderless VCD", he still wanted to try to see if any Hollywood studios were willing to cooperate.

Hua Hongru, marketing director of Wujiang VCD, flew to the United States on the morning of August 14.

The next day, he began to visit major Hollywood studios.

It's a pity that for more than ten days, he was politely refused.

None of the Hollywood studios are bullish on VCDs.

Hua Hongru and VCD even became the laughing stock of Hollywood for a time.

At many parties, everyone ridiculed Hua Hongru for his incompetence and promotion of VCD, but no film company was willing to cooperate with it.

"I heard that the Wujiang Group is very powerful...... But no matter how powerful it is, it also depends on the face of our Americans, we Americans do not agree to cooperate, and the products of Wujiang Group do not even have the opportunity to enter our American market! ”

"This Chinese named Hua Hongru is quite persevering, he has visited so many film companies, he has been rejected so many times, and he still does not give up!"

"That's not called perseverance, but stupidity, just like many Chinese, they are so stupid and ignorant!" This is our American's territory, and the Chinese have taken away our Americans' jobs and left many Americans unemployed! Chinese should go back to China!! Blake Dolly, a well-known Hollywood producer with racial leanings, scolded.

"Yes, if Chinese hadn't come to our America, our America would have been a better place!!" The well-known Hollywood screenwriter Cecy Combe couldn't help but nod and agreed.

"By the way, I heard that Disney CEO Michael Eisner released that Chinese pigeon for an entire afternoon!"

"Why did Michael Eisner do that?"

"What else can it be, isn't it because Shanghai Fine Arts Film Company, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, is a competitor of Disney. Disney has focused on animation production in the past two years, but a strong competitor has suddenly emerged, haven't you noticed that in recent years, major American TV stations have broadcast a lot of cartoons from China? And it's free......"

"I see~"

“……”

The two have a common language and talk happily.

As everyone knows, Chinese laborers built the Transcontinental Pacific Railroad for the United States, and in the end, more than 1,000 people became corpses.

It is perhaps no exaggeration to say that without this railway, it would be difficult to have the United States today.

And how many Chinese engineers or scientists are making outstanding contributions to American science and technology?

You don't see, after a large number of Qinghua students studied in the United States, they stayed in the United States to contribute to the United States. The repatriation rate is said to be less than 20 per cent.

The top top students in China, what a good Chinese educational resource has been given to them, they have been specially fed to the dogs.

……

"Mr. Hua, do we still go to other Hollywood studios now?" Hua Hongru's assistant asked depressedly.

"I'm not going!" Hua Hongru shook his head and said, "The boss told us to go back, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, there will always be a time when Hollywood studios ask for us!" ”

"Hmm!"

Hua Hongru and his entourage took a plane on the same day and returned to China.

At this time, Zhao Ye's face was very unsightly.

According to the news from the Oriental News Agency, it is just a matter for Hollywood studios to unite to block VCD, which is nothing, it is a very normal business method, and Zhao Ye can accept it. However, many people took Hua Hongru and others as jokes and ridiculed them wantonly.

In particular, Hua Hongru and others were deliberately teased by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, and the whole Hollywood knew about it.

Could it be that the face of my Borderless Group is not good in Hollywood, right?!

Yes!

Then we'll see!

A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!

In this life, Hollywood will never be as prosperous as in the previous life, and Jesus can't save it, I'm talking !!

Zhao Ye's eyes showed a hint of indescribability.

It seems that as long as the timing is right, he will target Hollywood and do something.

……

……

Although the promotion of "Borderless VCD" in the United States is not good, in Southeast Asia, it has become popular at a rapid pace.

Drawing on the great success of video halls in China.

When the "Borderless VCD" landed in Southeast Asia, many people in the local area purchased a large number of "Borderless VCD" and opened a video hall chain store.

There are also many clubs that want to turn white, so go directly to open a video hall to make money and save trouble.

In India, "Borderless VCD" is also very popular, and on the day of its listing, countless Indians rushed to buy it.

India also has a population of more than 1 billion, and in 1989, India's per capita GDP was $346, while China's was $310.

But it's a pity that India doesn't have a figure like Zhao Ye, and in a few years, China's economy has taken off, with a per capita GDP of up to 650 US dollars. Of course, Zhao Ye's personal worth is too high, which has raised China's per capita GDP.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that in this life, the per capita GDP of Chinese is higher than that of India.

Even China has not yet popularized VHS video recorders, let alone Indians?

Therefore, when "Borderless VCD" came, it was like coming to a vast and rich virgin land!

In addition, PHS has also been vigorously developed in India, making Wujiang Group make a lot of money.

I have to say that PHS was released in advance before the maturity of 2G communication technology, and it really has a huge market. There is an urgent need for an inexpensive, portable mobile calling device.

Today's 1G analog mobile phone is expensive.

2G has not developed again.

That's why PHS technology took advantage of the loophole.

Even in the United States, there are some cities that use PHS, but it is not widespread.

As for Qualcomm in the United States, it doesn't even have a ticket to enter the CDMA field in this life, and many basic patents have been applied for by Wujiang Group.

Qualcomm is a commercial company, of course they want to make money, and since the CDMA road doesn't work, they will study other things.

Two months later.

At this time, there were a number of copycat VCD players in China, and the retail price was mostly above 4,000 yuan and below 4,500 yuan.

The domestic pirated VCD video industry is developing even more.

"A lone branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring!"

"Wujiang is making a lot of money now!!"

Zhao Ye said with a smile.

Multiple manufacturers work together to develop the VCD market, which is equivalent to making this cake bigger together.

However, Wujiang sells MPEG-1 decoding chips and VCD drives to other manufacturers, and the more VCD players they sell, the more Wujiang will earn.

The more money you earn, the more you will come to the Soviet Union to poach people, and the more confidence you will have without borders.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Ye's lips rose slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

……

Shenzhen.

"Boss Li, I didn't expect you to come to Shenzhen to compete for this land!" A Hong Kong real estate businessman saw Li Jiacheng at this time, and his expression was slightly unnatural.

The real estate businessman was very interested in this land, but who was Li Jiacheng, if he participated in the competition, he would have no fun.

Li Jiacheng smiled slightly and said: "The Shenzhen government is ready to sell a piece of land covering an area of about 3 square kilometers in Longhua District this time, of course I am very interested in this land!" ”

At this moment, He Jinpeng, the deputy mayor of Shenzhen, who was in charge of the economy, walked towards Li Jiacheng.

"Mr. Li Jiacheng, hello, I am He Jinpeng, deputy mayor of Shenzhen, welcome to Shenzhen for inspection and investment!" He Jinpeng greeted Li Jiacheng warmly.

Li Jiacheng shook hands with Deputy Mayor He Jinpeng and said with a smile: "Mayor He, hello! ”

"Mr. Li, I heard that you are interested in this piece of land in Longhua District?" He Jinpeng asked.

Li Jiacheng nodded: "Yes, Cheung Kong Industrial Group plans to invest billions to build commercial streets, hotels, cinemas, office buildings and large residential areas here. ”

When He Jinpeng heard this, he was immediately excited.

If Li Jiacheng can be brought in to invest in Shenzhen, it will definitely attract more Hong Kong businessmen!

"Since Mr. Li is interested in this land, let's go to the office and talk." He Jinpeng opened his mouth and invited.

"Okay, no problem." Li Jiacheng smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, there should be no problem in winning this land, and the Shenzhen government will definitely sell the land to itself at a very cheap price in order to attract its own investment.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the office, He Jinpeng officially opened negotiations with Li Jiacheng on behalf of the government.

Shenzhen's development far exceeds that of previous generations.

As a result, land prices have skyrocketed.

3 square kilometers of land, that is, 3 million square meters, although the location is relatively partial, but if it is sold normally, the price is at least more than 500 million yuan.

Li Jiacheng offered 200 million yuan to the Shenzhen government at this time.

This made He Jinpeng and other officials not know what to say for a while.

"Mr. Li, 200 million yuan is not too little, the price of land in Shenzhen is rising rapidly, and this land in Longhua District covers an area of more than 3 million square meters, which is extremely large, and the value is far more than 200 million." He Jinpeng said.

Li Jiacheng smiled and said unhurriedly: "Because the area of this land is very large, it will lead to a lot of investment pressure on Cheung Kong Group, and a total of 7 or 8 billion yuan will be invested, so our group hopes that the government can make the land price cheaper......

In fact, Cheung Kong Industrial Group does not plan to do large-scale investment and development here at present, and Longhua District is a bit far from the center of SZ. Li Jiacheng plans to buy the land first, and then put it for more than ten years, waiting for the land to appreciate, whether it is to sell the land or use it for development himself.

He Jinpeng and others, you look at me, I look at you, they are all thinking about gains and losses.

"If you sell the land to Li Jiacheng at a low price, so as to get the other party to invest and build here, it is not impossible to ......," an official suggested in a low voice.

He Jinpeng frowned and said, "But this price is too low." ”

"Then let him raise the price a little more, if we can talk about 400 million yuan, we will accept it!" The official on the other side whispered.

He Jinpeng couldn't help but nodded.

He looked at Li Jiacheng and said, "Mr. Li, 200 million yuan is still too little, the government can give you a little cheaper, what do you think about 450 million yuan?" ”

Li Jiacheng shook his head, saying that he couldn't accept it.

He Jinpeng reluctantly quoted the reserve price: "400 million yuan, no less!" ”

Li Jiacheng shook his head again, still disagreeing.

"Mayor He, it is difficult to develop this land if others buy it, so it is better to sell it to Cheung Kong Industrial Group cheaper. We at Cheung Kong Asset Group have rich experience in real estate development, abundant funds, advanced technology and broad contacts. If this land is developed, it will definitely vigorously promote the development of Shenzhen's economy! ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod subconsciously.

He Jinpeng thought for a while and said to Li Jiacheng: "Mr. Li, your offer is too low, it is difficult for us to make decisions, and we must hold a meeting of the municipal party committee and government to discuss before we can come up with a result." ”

"Okay, it's okay, I'll wait for you to have a meeting to discuss, then we'll see you next time, I'll go to other cities to investigate investment later." Li Jiacheng got up to say goodbye, and deliberately said the latter sentence to put pressure on the Shenzhen government.

The implication is that if you don't sell me the land cheaply, then I'll invest in other cities.

"Mr. Li, don't be busy leaving Shenzhen, you can walk around and inspect the market investment environment in Shenzhen. In addition, the meeting of our municipal party committee and government was very fast. He Jinpeng hurriedly said.

Li Jiacheng replied with a smile: "Okay, then I will stay in Shenzhen and stay for a while." ”

……

"Boss, are you so sure that the Shenzhen government is willing to sell us the land at a price? 200 million yuan, buying 3 million square meters of land, if it is placed in Hong Kong, it is not difficult to imagine! Li Jiacheng's secretary wondered.

Li Jiacheng looked at the cheap "quartz watch" in his hand before answering the secretary's inquiry.

"Although I am not the richest man in Hong Kong, I am a very famous entrepreneur in Hong Kong, and the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa has made me famous. If Shenzhen wants to attract Hong Kong investment, I will do what they like, so they will definitely be willing to sell us the land cheaply! ”

Li Jiacheng was full of confidence and said to the secretary, "Let's go back and wait for the good news!" ”

"Okay, boss!"

……

Shanghai.

"Boss, it's time to build a microcomputer manufacturing factory, which city do you think to build a factory?" Qiu Bojun asked.

"Shenzhen." Zhao Ye replied without thinking.

"Okay, boss, then I'll ask people to inquire now if there is a suitable place in Shenzhen for us to build a microcomputer manufacturing factory."

"Hmm."

At more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Qiu Bojun came to Zhao Ye's office again.

"Boss, I asked people to investigate, and it just so happened that Shenzhen was interested in selling a piece of land covering an area of about three million square meters, located in Longhua District. According to our staff in Shenzhen, this land is very suitable for us to build a factory. ”

"Well, since it's appropriate, then you will go to Shenzhen tomorrow and talk to local government officials about buying land to build a factory."

"Okay."

At this moment, Li Jiacheng probably never expected that the Wujiang Group suddenly stepped in halfway, causing a turmoil in his purchase of land.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Qiu Bojun took a plane with several assistants and went to Shenzhen.

Here in Shenzhen, the municipal party committee and government are currently studying and discussing whether to sell the land in Longhua to Li Jiacheng at a low price of 200 million yuan.

"Everyone had a good discussion and spoke enthusiastically." Senior city officials said loudly to Xiangming.

Immediately, one person said: "I think that as long as this land is developed, even if it is sold to Li Jiacheng for 200 million, it is acceptable...... We can earn it back through taxes as well as the surrounding land. ”

"It makes sense, as long as this land is developed, the price of the surrounding land will definitely rise, and maybe we can make even more!"

"I seconded the proposal that this move will also attract more Hong Kong businessmen to invest in Shenzhen!"

"The large infrastructure project will drive Shenzhen's economic development and solve many jobs, and I also second!!"

“……”

The majority of people seconded it.

Seeing this, Xiang Ming, a high-ranking city official, was just about to say that he was going to sell Longhua's land to Li Jiacheng, when suddenly his secretary hurriedly ran over.

"Xiao Zhou, what's going on?" The senior city official Qian Xiang Ming said in a deep voice, his face was slightly unhappy, we are in a meeting, what kind of system do you have when you run over so recklessly?

The secretary called Xiao Zhou was also anxious, he had just received a call that Wujiang Group wanted to buy the land in Longhua, and then invest in the establishment of a microcomputer manufacturing factory.

Seeing that the secretary was about to announce the sale of this land to Li Jiacheng, he suddenly didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ran over to report the situation to the leader.

"Leader, I just received a call from Wujiang Group, and they also took a fancy to the land of Longhua and planned to build it into a microcomputer manufacturing factory!"

After thinking about it, the secretary Xiao Zhou added, "Leader, this means that Wujiang Group is about to launch a new product again, and this new product should be a microcomputer!! ”

When Xiang Ming, a high-ranking city official, heard this, he was immediately shocked.

When did Wujiang Group release a new product that didn't make a splash around the world?

Xiang Mingdu, a high-ranking city official, was about to envy Beiping, Shanghai, and Chongqing.

Beiping has BB machine, PHS, typewriter, program control machine, LCD screen......

Shanghai has a chip industry chain, precision machining, "Tomahawk" game consoles, Gameboys, arcade machines, pet machines, toys and ......

Chongqing has a VCD industry.

Guangzhou has a battery industry.

As for Shenzhen, Wujiang Group has not yet invested in a decent industry here.

However, now, Wujiang Group is finally going to invest in Shenzhen, and it is also a high-tech microcomputer manufacturing factory.

At this time, Xiang Ming, a high-ranking official of the city, spoke in an excited tone and loudly announced to everyone: "Please note, everyone, I have just received the news. Wujiang Group also took a fancy to the land of Longhua, and they plan to invest in the establishment of a microcomputer manufacturing plant here!! ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused the shock of everyone in the audience.

"A microcomputer manufacturing plant? Has Wujiang Group developed its own brand of microcomputer? This is really big news, and if it gets out, it will definitely cause a huge sensation!! ”

"Yes, I just don't know what is the difference between the microcomputer developed by Wujiang Group and other brands of microcomputers in China, I hope it is not an X86 assembly machine......"

"It shouldn't be an X86 assembly machine, Wujiang Group can produce 32-bit Kirin 3 microprocessors by itself, I guess, Wujiang microcomputer must be different from X86!"

The audience suddenly became extremely noisy.

Xiang Ming, a senior official of the city, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "Everyone, now that the situation has changed, let's discuss now whether to sell the land in Longhua to Li Jiacheng or to the Wujiang Group, please speak enthusiastically!" ”
