I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 577 [The Merry Ship King is gone! 】

At the end of March 1975, the blueprint for the new town of Tin Shui Wai was released, which aroused intense discussions throughout Hong Kong Island;

This is the largest investment in Hong Kong's history, and it may even be an investment that is "unprecedented and unprecedented";

It is also the only case in the world to invest in a new town that can accommodate 500,000 people.

Tin Shui Wai New Town has a total area of ​​52 million square feet, and the design blueprint roughly divides the 52 million square feet into three areas;

The first area - Tianshuiwei High-tech Industrial Park, covers an area of ​​23 million square feet;

The second area - Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, covers an area of ​​4 million square feet;

The third area - the living area (including primary and secondary schools, hospitals, shopping malls and other facilities), covers an area of ​​25 million square feet.

Among them, the living area is divided into 10 large-scale housing projects, each with an area of ​​2 million square feet;

10 large housing estates, each of which is estimated to be more than 50 residential buildings with more than 10,000 residential units;

The 30,000 sets of low-rent housing promised to the Hong Kong government are also evenly distributed among five large housing estates within each large housing estate.

After the design blueprint was announced, major construction teams began to enter the site immediately. After all, the Hong Kong government's Public Works Bureau participated in the design blueprint, and the approval was very fast.

Wu Guangyao predicted that in the early 1980s, the Tin Shui Wai Science and Technology Industrial Park could become the owner of the enterprise;

In the late eighties, basically the whole project was over!

The total cost of building Tin Shui Wai is expected to be HK$20 billion to HK$30 billion, and a 60% loan model will be adopted;

Perhaps Wu Guangyao's net worth was estimated by the bank, so the banks on Hong Kong Island basically agreed to the loan.

September

Wu Guangyao took an urgent private plane to New York, and finally saw Onassis for the last time in a New York hospital.

When he came to the ward and walked to the bed, Onassis grabbed Wu Guangyao's hand;

"Wu,

Do you think the Onassis family will follow in the Kennedy family's footsteps? "Onassis, who had an oxygen tube inserted, saw Wu Guangyao's first words were a sad story.

Wu Guangyao shook his head confidently, and said, "No! I am a lucky person, and I will bring luck to the Onassis family!"

After listening to Wu Guangyao's words, Onassis showed a smile on his face!

"You are right! You brought three boys to the Onassis family and opened up the situation for the Onassis family in Greece; then, will you help Christina in the future?" Onassis worried Said.

The Guangyao Family Office and the Onassis Family Office have established a connection;

Therefore, Wu Guangyao has already participated in the affairs of the Onassis family, and of course he can only provide some suggestions.

Wu Guangyao turned back, held the hand of Christina, who was five months pregnant again, and then turned to look at Onassis;

"Yes! As long as she still listens to me!"

Onassis' eyes lit up instantly, and his heart was finally relieved.

In fact, although Wu Guangyao did not look at the survivors of Onassis, he also knew that although Christina inherited the property and fleet;

But it is also stipulated that more than five years can be used to control these, and the early stage is naturally entrusted to the family office.

It was a coincidence that Wu Guangyao came, and Onassis passed away that night;

A generation of romantic ship lords is gone!

Wu Guangyao sighed in his heart, he is not a romantic boat king, he hopes to live until 2031!

As a junior, she helped Christina deal with Onassis' funeral, which moved her very much!

After the matter was settled, Wu Guangyao and Christina chatted in the villa;

"Your father has arranged the affairs after his death in an orderly manner. You just need to rest assured to raise your baby and deal with some official business regularly!"

"En! Thank you for your help these days!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, and then said: "If you need any help, you can contact me directly! Also, I hope to be honest about our relationship! If you have someone you like in the future, you must tell me, and Before we broke up, we cannot have intimate contact with any man. Of course, you only need to inform me in advance, and everything will no longer be a problem!"

Christina is very touched these days, Wu Guangyao can help deal with her father's offspring;

I just didn't expect Wu Guangyao to say these words suddenly!

Christina said angrily, "You want to break up right after your father died?"

Wu Guangyao fiddled with Christina's hair intimately, and said, "It's not that I'm breaking up, but that I'm giving you enough choice. I don't care about myself. I can spare a certain amount of time every year to accompany you But I know that our relationship is the most unfair to you, but I can't stand it, you have an affair with another man without my knowledge, so I hope you can do it.... ..."

Before Wu Guangyao finished speaking, Christina, who was infatuated, quickly said: "I can be the only man in my life! I only hope that you can accompany me a few times a year!"

Wu Guangyao didn't believe it, but he wouldn't expose it either, so he sent Christina off with a few love words.

.........

Silicon Valley, Lenovo Industrial Park.

Akio Morita and Jing Shenda reported the situation to Wu Guangyao.

Sony's second-generation TV game console once again achieved unprecedented results, with a sales volume of 300,000 units in just two months;

According to the selling price of 168 US dollars, it is about 50 million US dollars in sales.

The second-generation TV game console is equipped with four classic games "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders", "Galaxy Warrior", "Tetris" and other games developed by the developers themselves, a total of nine games!

Although the results were good, Wu Guangyao was still not satisfied. After all, he still had an opponent—Nintendo's Famicom;

However, Wu Guangyao was thinking that he had the outlines of classic games such as Mario, Contra, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon;

Isn't it a sure thing!

Wu Guangyao smiled and said to the two confidant generals: "After the development of the second-generation game console, we have finally brought video games into a new era; you can make the next plan, but I have a request, that is, the hardware must be upgraded." With great R\u0026D efforts, just like Moore's Law, our hardware technology needs to be updated every 18 months."

Wu Guangyao did not immediately come up with the outlines of games such as "Mario" and "Contra", but "stocked" Sony game consoles for a year or two;

In 1977, Wu Guangyao re-developed the red and white machine project, and produced several classic games;

Only in this way can we have time to digest the current results!

Jing Shen laughed and said: "President, don't worry, with the company's strong R\u0026D funds these years, Lenovo Electronics' IC chips have achieved great results. Even if we don't rely on the technology of Intel and Fairchild, we can still create excellent ic chip."

Speaking of ic chips, Wu Guangyao thought of one thing, so he said: "Is Mitsubishi Electric developing very well in the field of ic chips?"

The two nodded seriously, and Jing Shenda said: "Mitsubishi Electric is provided with funds from a large consortium, and it has developed very fast in this area over the years!"

"Compared to Lenovo Electronics?"

"that's about right!"

Wu Guangyao said: "Since this is the case, I heard that Nintendo and Mitsubishi Electric have reached a cooperation agreement, then we have to be careful! We will set up an opponent for you, that is Nintendo. You have to beware of this company. If you have the opportunity, it is best to use their Talent digging, even suppression, acquisition!"

At this time, Nintendo did not have arcade games and TV game console products, but once it unites with Mitsubishi Electric, it will have a guarantee in the chip field, and there is basically nothing to restrict it!

Although he didn't know why the boss valued such a small company, Akio Morita still nodded;

Potential competitors, if they have the opportunity, they will not hesitate to attack, even if they are their own compatriots.

Next, everyone talked about other products.

Especially when talking about Sony's research and development of the betamax tape format for VCR systems, Wu Guangyao shook his head;

This hit Akio Morita's self-confidence, the boss is not optimistic about this standard?

Indeed, Wu Guangyao knew that this format would eventually lose out to the VHS system developed by Panasonic's jvc company.

Because Lenovo Group is basically handed over to the top management, so Akio Morita and Ibuka have a very large degree of freedom;

The company's product development is basically decided by two people;

However, Wu Guangyao only proposed products that he was familiar with, so Wu Guangyao did not participate in such products as video recorders and cameras.

"Boss, are there any shortcomings in the betamax tape format?" Akio Morita asked tentatively. Wu Guangyao is the soul of Lenovo Group, and Akio Morita has always admired him very much.

Wu Guangyao hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I don't understand technical issues, so I don't comment! But you have set technical standards, and if there is no cooperation from a large number of manufacturers, it is an exclusive technology; there is an old saying in China that 'success is also Xiaohe. Defeat Xiao He', think about it carefully; if the rival company develops an open format standard, and manufacturers respond one after another, I believe that we will lose in the end. And as far as I know, the betamax standard recording time is only one hour. Obviously not enough, I think there should be 4 hours of recording time."

According to Wu Guangyao's memory, the reason why the jac under Panasonic in the previous life finally succeeded was because Panasonic ignored jac's objection and insisted on adhering to the 4-hour recording time proposed by RCA.

Suddenly, Jing Shenda's heart welled up, this boss seems to be really ignorant of technology!

Jing Shenda said euphemistically: "Boss, if the recording time is 4 hours, the forward speed of the video tape will be reduced from 4 centimeters per second to 2 centimeters per second, and the narrowing of the video track will cause too serious loss of image quality."

Wu Guangyao spread his hands, without arguing, he just said: "Go to rca to sell and see what customers will ask for! Moreover, according to my research, Sony's jac is developing a standard format that is against us. I hope you will pay attention to it. !"

Akio Morita and Jing Shenda thought about it and agreed, and the boss, who had never interfered much in such matters, suddenly issued a warning;

The two of them suddenly felt a little unconfident about the betamax standard!

Wu Guangyao didn't overly participate, it's just a camera format standard, even if it fails, Sony will not be affected at all!

"By the way, you set up another project team to develop a game watch that combines LCD electronic games and digital dials!"

Akio Morita and Jing Shenda have been accustomed to Wu Guangyao's unconstrained ideas, and immediately agreed;

Because, both of them know that although the boss doesn't understand technology, his eyes are hundreds of times better than the two of them;

And Wu Guangyao only needs to provide an idea, and naturally someone will develop it for him.

Afterwards, Wu Guangyao got to know technologies such as handheld game consoles, memory chips, LCD screens, lithium batteries, etc., and made an understanding of the situation;

On the whole, the situation is very gratifying!

The value of Lenovo Group has surpassed Panasonic, becoming the largest electronics and electrical appliance group in Japan;

The Lenovo Group at this time is like a combination of Sony, Atari, and Nintendo in the previous life, plus a series of home appliance production and chip technology blessings.

.........

Los Angeles, Universal Films headquarters.

Wu Guangyao and Akio Morita came to Universal Films to inspect the work;

Today, Universal Films has become an important source of profit for Sony, so Akio Morita himself also attaches great importance to it.

Wu Guangyao was sitting in his exclusive office, while Akio Morita and Sidney Simberg were sitting on the sofa;

The current achievements of Universal Group, these high-level executives all know, cannot do without Wu Guangyao's guidance;

Therefore, although Wu Guangyao does not come to the company often, these high-level executives still regard Wu Guangyao as a god in their hearts!

"Can "Star Wars" be released on Christmas?" Wu Guangyao asked.

"Yes, it has entered the end of editing. It is expected that all work will be completed in October and enter the publicity stage!" Sidney Simberg said.

Sidney Simberg added: "Recently, Sony's video game consoles are booming, among which games such as "Space Invaders" and "Metroid" have been welcomed by people, and they have a great impact on our movie "Star Wars". Propaganda!"

The "Space Invaders", "Metroid" video games and the movie "Star Wars" are all about aliens;

At that time, it is inevitable that there will be a wave of aliens in Europe, America and Japan!

Wu Guangyao said with a smile, "This is an effect of mutual promotion. By then, the sales of Sony's second-generation consoles will probably increase by more than 30%."

Akio Morita and Sidney Simberg nodded, the joy on their faces was beyond words.

Then, Wu Guangyao took out a comic book from his briefcase and handed it to Sidney Simberg;

"This is an animation ip created by my comic company. I will ask the person in charge to discuss cooperation with you soon!"

Sidney Simberg was taken aback for a moment, then quickly picked it up, flipped through a few pages, and then fell into it unknowingly;

This made Akio Morita very curious, that a manga ip can actually make Hollywood giants addicted.

And Akio Morita also knew that the manga company owned by the boss had defeated the Hitotsubashi Group in Japan;

And Akio Morita also watched a series of anime ips such as "Dragon Ball", "Detective Conan" and "Ultraman" because of his boss.

After a long time, Sidney Simberg said excitedly: "With a wild imagination, if a sci-fi movie is made, this is an IP that is not inferior to Star Wars."

This is natural, the outline of "Transformers" given by Wu Guangyao is based on the film series;

Therefore, Sidney Sinberg can tell at a glance that this is also a big movie ip.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "However, let's save this movie for another 20 years before shooting it! Currently, Universal Pictures is cooperating with my animation company to broadcast the cartoon series produced by American TV stations."

Both Universal Pictures and MGM have TV production departments, so this is the channel Wu Guangyao can use;

Regarding the marketing of Transformers, the result of Wu Guangyao and Li He's discussion is that in the early stage, they will focus on toy sales, supplemented by comics and animations, and promote them in the market.

This is the same as Hasbro's sales strategy in the previous life. In the early days of Transformers, it mainly sold toys.

I am afraid that the turnover of toys and peripherals is higher than that of comics, animation, and movies.

This is the biggest charm of ip!

Sidney Simberg nodded and said, "Boss, will this movie be shot by Universal Pictures in the future?"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "If you want to shoot the best Transformers, the current special effects and technology can't meet the requirements at all. I think it may be 20 years; by then, you will have retired, why are you thinking so much!"

Sidney Sinberg smiled shyly: "Although I'm retired, I'm still a shareholder of Universal Pictures, so I naturally like that Universal Pictures is getting better and better!"

Wu Guangyao was taken aback for a moment, and he ignored this point. Sidney Sinberg did indeed own nearly 2% of Universal Pictures' shares.

Wu Guangyao said: "Naturally, I will hand it over to Universal Pictures!"

After the filming of "Star Wars", Universal Pictures will follow up with "Jaws 2" and "Alien et". Even "Star Wars" is a series of movies;

Therefore, Wu Guangyao didn't come up with any new proposals this time, which is regarded as stocking Universal Pictures for a while.
