Chapter 505, Fighting the Ring
Bald Eagle in a large villa estate on the outskirts of the Big Apple, New York.
A few pot-bellied white men sat together, smoking top cigars from Cuba and drinking the best wines produced on their estates, and several super-well-built models sat next to them, chatting about the dirtiest things.
The so-called upper class, under the luxurious and glamorous appearance, is extremely primitive and rough on the inside.
It seems that he has been disguised in front of the public for too long, so when he is in private, he needs to be more presumptuous and rampant to be able to vent his dissatisfaction and his own desires.
"Why does that yellow monkey always make money? Super model lingerie show? God, he's made more than a billion dollars."
"VCD player, we have researched it, and we are preparing to launch it in June, but now the other party has lowered the price of this market, what should we do?"
"I didn't make any money at all, and the stock prices of the VCD leasing companies I invested in have plummeted."
"No, VCD players have promotions, why are the stock prices of disc rental companies falling?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's because investors don't have confidence, right? ”
"No, there must be other ways, such as some more advanced and better technology products"
The capitalists chatted, and although they were envious and jealous of making a lot of money for many years, they did not do anything else at the moment.
The main thing is that the whip is out of reach.
And a company like Huimin Supermarket, because it has been deeply rooted in Bald Eagle, has a very good relationship with many members of the two major houses.
Even the total barrel is willing to protect the Huimin supermarket.
As a result, the capitalists are unable to build a supermarket that benefits the people through such means.
There have been other capitalists who have tried to suppress Apple before, but the results are naturally unsatisfactory.
Apple isn't tough either, but it's not giving in either.
On the contrary, the capitalists who worked behind it, such as Lehman Brothers, the banking system and other related companies, have undergone a surgical aortic operation.
Anyway, there are heavy casualties, and from last year to now, it has not slowed down.
Therefore, today's bald eagle capitalists are of course relatively honest.
Otherwise, I really don't know who people will operate on again in many years.
The time entered June, and last month's VCD player sales results came out.
More than 10 million units were sold on the mainland, and more than 40 million units were sold in the Bald Eagle area.
Although the profit is not high, the profit of each unit is only fifty US dollars.
Rao is so, that is also earned by blood.
In June, a tender meeting for the licensing of VCD player technology was held on Hong Kong Island.
When the bidding meeting first appeared, Bai Tofu ran home and found her father:
"Dad, I want that VCD player technology."
"What do you want it for? A technology that is doomed to lag behind."
He said without looking up for many years.
At this time, he was teaching Xu Shan and this little guy to write, and the little guy wanted to look up at his aunt, but was patted by his grandfather, so he quickly lowered his head and continued to write seriously.
"Why is it a technology that is destined to be backward?"
White tofu is very puzzled, you must know that the VCD technology has only been out for a long time, and it has been more than a year and less than two years.
As a result, her father evaluated it as a doomed technology, why is this?
"Because your dad and I already have better alternative technology, so we don't want it, you know?"
"Okay, let's go out first if there's nothing to do, don't bother me to teach the child to practice calligraphy, he's all distracted"
Seeing that the old father was impatiently bombarding himself out, Bai Tofu pouted, turned around and went out.
At dinner, Bai Tofu directly pestered her father, insisting on asking what new technology it was.
Her words also aroused Xiao Bu's curiosity.
In fact, he has been developing nuclear power plants and developing nuclear-related industries.
For example, the super project of controlled nuclear fusion, but there has been no progress.
It is true that there is no progress at all, and it is still only on the surface of the laboratory, and the technical information is not very complete, let alone what little sun is going to be made.
So he was a little discouraged and wanted to see if there were any other small technical projects that were relatively easy.
Preferably other small projects that can move a controlled fusion project forward.
But obviously, what his father was talking about was only about VCD technology.
This thing is indeed very profitable, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with other things.
There is no force-qualification!
Therefore, Xiao Budian just listened for a while, and then did not continue to listen.
But for white tofu, DVD is really good, and it has more market prospects.
After hearing this for many years, seeing that she seemed to be very interested in this, she pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:
"That's it, you don't want to engage in these technologies, I'll give you another mobile phone technology, and from now on, you will fight Apple, right?"
Yes?
His words not only made Bai Tofu's mouth open wide, but he didn't know how to react.
It also made Qin Huairu, Xiao Budian, He Minhong, Jing Ge'er and others dumbfounded, what is the situation in the ring?
Brother Jing, who has stopped for a while, has been in the past few times, every time he hears his father talking about these business things, he only brings his ears and never participates in it.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand this.
The only thing he couldn't understand was why his father had such a strong self-confidence, and was DVD necessarily better than VCD?
A new product does not mean that it is technically awesome and will be able to replace the old one.
It takes a process, and this process may take 10 years, or even longer.
In the process, then maybe the old products can make a lot of profits.
However, his father directly gave up the VCD player product that had only appeared for less than two years.
Maybe it's because his father makes a lot of money and has a different vision, so he can't look down on this profit.
In fact, Jing Ge'er's guess was right, but it can only be said to be a little and a half right.
The price of VCD players has fallen, and on the surface, it seems that the benefits are of course those ordinary consumers.
But they don't know that for many years, they want to promote Chinese entertainment movies.
And if more ordinary consumers can afford VCD players, then more people will buy or rent those discs.
Since the late 60s, there have been a lot of movies on Hong Kong Island throughout the 70s.
Coupled with the channels on the PolyGene Group's side, many stars on Hong Kong Island are almost all international superstars.
In other words, Hong Kong Island is more connected to the rest of the world.
There are so many movies, especially kung fu movies, there are no less than 500 of them, and even if there are only 10 of them every year, after more than ten years, there are more than 100.
Not to mention the golden sign of Bruce Lee, so the kung fu movie genre alone is the strongest category in the entire Chinese entertainment movie.
Other comedies, dramas and other films may be relatively speaking, there is no way to have better development prospects overseas.
Rao is like this, and Huayu movies can also be promoted all over the world.
After many years of controlling these channels, you can make a lot of money just by renting or selling these discs.
"Dad, why? PHS and Apple are the same company, so why fight in the ring? ”
Bai Tofu was puzzled, but for many years, he said with a smile:
"To put it simply, this mobile phone market is too big, Apple and PHS can tolerate it, and even more mobile phone companies"
"Then when you are a competitor, you can keep the mobile phone company always fighting for the first place."
"Apple has been the boss for so many years, and it's time to give up the leading position, you may not know that the arrogance within the company has almost reached a peak."
"In addition to the PHS company you are currently managing, I will also set up a Huaxing company in the mainland."
Hiss!
Hearing the words of many years, the family couldn't help but gasp.
Although no one understands why he did it.
But it sounds quite reasonable, and this big move has an extraordinary impact on the future mobile phone market pattern.
In fact, it does.
The reason why this arrangement has been made for many years is not a whim, but a long preparation.
Saying it today is just going with the flow.
Whether it is VCD or MP3, he will be thrown out of the market one after another in the next period of time.
And at this time, the innovation at the mobile phone level should also be started.
With the gradual disappearance of Heping Island, many years have begun to transfer the power of scientific and technological research to the side of Xintiandi Plaza.
In the R&D center of the Rolls-Royce Group, in the mobile phone R&D base of Apple, in the R&D headquarters of several other companies, etc.
Many of these talents have been attracted and recruited from Heping Island, Bald Eagle, Europe, Tokyo and other places for many years.
These are the future, so to speak.
And at this time, the era of smart phones should also be opened by him.
There is also the supercomputer, which should also accelerate its progress and no longer stand still.
By this point in the 80s, a lot of things needed to be developed.
For example, lithography machine technology of deep violet and extreme violet light source, milling cutters, high-end bearing steel, epoxy resin and so on.
These are extremely cutting-edge technologies, which must be supported by great manpower and material resources.
Now this plane has changed very differently from the history of the original plane.
Therefore, if he wants to stay ahead, he must lay a good foundation and stabilize the fundamentals.
The mobile phone market is the most basic basic disk of the future information age, and this is definitely a market that cannot be lost.
Bai Tofu agreed, and she said that she would lead PHS to defeat Apple and ascend to the throne of the mobile phone market.
Many years said with a smile:
"Then you have to come on, if you want to beat Apple, it's not just a technology that can do it."
"Dad, you favor one over the other!"
Brother Jing next to him couldn't be calm anymore, and looked at his father with great resentment and said.
"Tell me, why am I favoring one over the other?" After looking at his son for many years, a rhetorical question left him with nothing to say.
When PHS was founded, it was not without technology for many years.
The defects of PHS's mobile phone technology, he persuaded Brother Jing at the beginning.
As a result, he had to break through the south wall himself, which was nothing, after all, Jing Ge'er himself did succeed.
It's a pity that my heart is inflated, and I can't tell the difference between a company account and a personal account stupidly.
Or that he knew that it was wrong and that it was illegal, but he still did it.
So who can blame him for being sent off and going to Hong Kong to think about it?
The law is the lower limit of a person's standards, and the upper limit is morality.
For many years, they have not begged their children to respect their children, how noble their morals are, but they must not be tolerated to trample on the law.
If a person dares to trample on the law, then it is really impossible to predict what else he will do.
Especially this person also has great financial resources and energy, so once he is really crazy, the damage value brought by him will be absolutely devastating.
Seeing that Brother Jing had nothing to say, he didn't ask him for many years, but said with a smile:
"You children, I haven't treated you badly, so don't say that I favor one over the other, each of you has a scale in your heart, and you know in your heart how my mother and I treat you."
"Our family has such a big family business, and I haven't even seen a decent successor, I haven't said anything, you think I'm a father, how can I be biased, right?"
"Yuan Tong and Yuan Xi, the two little ones, are not yet one year old, and when they become adults, you will all be almost forty years old."
"It's too early to say who will inherit my family business in the future, so in the future, don't mention anything favoritism, be content and happy"
"These wealth outside the body, if you don't bring it away in life and don't take it away in death, if you make the family uneasy for the sake of this money, you're afraid that you can't beat you with my bamboo stick, right?"
Hearing this for many years, Qin Huairu hurriedly pulled him.
Brother Jing stood up and apologized for the first time, and the children of Xiao Budian, White Tofu and Hot Wheels also stood up to persuade and actively expressed their attitudes.
How good their father's health is, the family knows very well.
It's not like running every day, but it's definitely exercising every day.
Boxing, basketball, running, etc., there is not a sport that he will not do.
I do this every day, but I don't overdo it.
What's more, he himself is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and he has good medical skills and knows his own body very well.
Not to mention, occasionally he will ask Xiao Doubao and Xiao Tuanzi to give him a pulse, or ask his master to help him with a pulse.
The pulse of traditional Chinese medicine, even if it was done the day before yesterday, it is clear.
"Okay, you all sit down, don't scare Xiao and them."
After many years, his face was still mild, and he was not without anger:
"You have all grown up and have your own ideas, I will not force you to do anything, but in this family, you still have to listen to me."
"Don't do anything illegal and criminal, and don't think that you have done these things, I don't know, hehe!"
"Anyway, I haven't carried a stick to you for a long time, I hope you don't let me break the vows."
Brother Jing suddenly became excited, and said that it was really a fluke last time.
Compared to going to the University of Hong Kong to study law, if he was beaten with a stick by his father, it would only be worse.
Although last time he was taught a lesson by his three sisters, his whole body was covered in plaster.
But it's much better than being beaten by his father.
I still remember that when he was a child, when his father beat him, he didn't spare any strength and beat him to death.
"Grandpa, I promise I won't give you a chance to hit me."
At this time, Xu Shanhe responded obediently, and Xu Shanyou also echoed and said.
Many years smiled and looked at the two little ones kindly:
"That's good, but if you don't obey, then I'll beat your father, and then your father will beat you."
The two little guys hurriedly shook their heads, where dare they be disobedient?
Xu Yi, who had been silent, sandwiched a piece of meat to her father at this time:
"Dad, let's eat, the dishes are cold."
"Okay, you eat too."
At the end of dinner, the family didn't eat much, and it was probably difficult to digest the words just said for many years.
In the next day, white tofu began a drastic reform, and a large number of technicians were recruited from outside the country as soon as possible.
The company's profits in the first half of this year were all spilled by her, and this time she said that she would make a splash.
And in Baiyun New Town, a building on the side of the central business district of Baiyun City, a Huaxing company is quietly registered here.
Since June, we have been recruiting troops, not only from the mainland, but also from foreign countries.
Most of them are talents from Hong Kong Island.
Because it's a joint venture.
The leaders of Baiyun City soon knew about the latest big moves in these many years, and even if they sent someone to ask, do they want a factory?
In this regard, the person in charge of Huaxing Company said that a factory has been established in Xishui Village, and there is no need for it for the time being.
On the side of Xishui Village, many factories have been established many years ago, and now they can be used.
As for the recruitment of workers, it is not too urgent.
With so many projects to start, it is impossible to keep an eye on these companies for many years, after all, he enjoys retirement more.
Only when he has a whim, will he occasionally take a look.
The changes in the mobile phone market have no impact on ordinary people.
Throughout May and June, what everyone liked more was that the price of VCD plummeted.
On the side of the audio-visual disc factory in Xishui Village, the appearance of DVDs is really something that the workers did not expect.
They all signed a confidentiality contract and could not disclose these things to the public.
Although everyone doesn't know what the difference between this DVD and VCD is, everyone is just a wage earner, just work hard, why do you want to do so much?
Ah Lian in the factory, as a supervisor, she is tired and tired today again.
Management doesn't just sit and stare at people, on the contrary, they work more.
Data reports, cost control, workshop safety, etc., the whole workshop is so big, with hundreds of people in charge, where can it be simple?
