My 1999

Time passed quickly, and Sun Mingzhen walked in with a cup of black tea.

"Where's Yan Zhen?"

"She has been arranged to sleep in the guest room on the second floor."

The guest rooms on the first floor are mainly reserved for bodyguards to rest.

"Um."

"How much S @M equity has the company absorbed?"

"1.7%."

"When we reach the sign-raising line, tell Lee Soo-man that we are just a financial investment and not seeking a controlling stake."

"Know."

"Next, we will contact YG and JYP to see if they will accept our financing."

The outbreak of Korean Wave is a trend. He wants to make a fortune by taking advantage of this trend. He also hopes to lock in the music sources of three Korean entertainment giants and lay a solid foundation for the development of Hongmeng Music Network.

Sun Mingzhen nodded.

We briefly chatted about work.

Xu Liang reached out and picked up the beauty and walked towards the bedroom.

"How about forget it today, Yan Zhen is still here..."

"The soundproofing of the room is good, and we should be quieter soon."

Sun Yanzhen was reading the script in the room. It was the first time she received a movie role. She took it very seriously and hoped that she could perform well and become famous in one fell swoop.

As he watched, a strange sound suddenly came over.

"It seems to be Ernie's voice."

After listening carefully for a while, I quickly understood.

Her pretty face instantly turned into a monkey's butt, extremely shy.

Although she has never eaten pork, she has seen pigs running, so she certainly understands what this sound means.

She subconsciously wanted to cover her ears, but the heat in her body seemed to ignite her curiosity, and she listened unconsciously.

Time passed little by little.

When everything stopped, Sun Yanzhen looked at the time and saw that it was already early morning.

The heat in her body made her sleepless.

the next day.

Dong Dong...!

"Yan Zhen, are you up?"

‘Click’, the door opened.

Looking at her depressed sister with disheveled hair, Sun Mingzhen couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"

"Isn't it all because of Ernie?"

Having said this, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

Seeing her look, Sun Mingzhen also understood and patted her gently.

"You damn girl actually eavesdropped."

Sun Yanzhen rolled her eyes, "Someone screamed so loudly last night, why did they need to eavesdrop?"

He lowered his voice and continued mysteriously, "But my brother-in-law is so awesome..."

He grabbed her ears and said, "You damn girl, you are so young that you have such random thoughts."

"Onie, it hurts, let go."

"Go and clean up quickly. We'll have dinner later."

"Know it."

Sun Yanzhen covered her ears and walked towards the bathroom.

Looking at her back, Sun Mingzhen shook her head, turned and walked downstairs.

Xu Liang stayed in South Korea for half a month, during which time he and the Sun sisters went to Daegu to meet their parents. After returning to Seoul, they took a plane back to the capital.

——

It's already the end of December, and New Year's Day is just one week away.

Xin Meng and Hongmeng are both busy.

We are about to enter 2001, and we need to summarize our finances and outline our development plans for next year.

There is also the annual meeting, which needs to be prepared.

In short, there are a lot of things going on, and everyone has been working overtime recently.

But Xu Liang is very free. He has Teng Huaming in New Dream, Xie Wen in Hongmeng, and Jiang Xiaoyang in Hanhua. Each major subsidiary also has its own person in charge. He has removed himself from specific management and is only responsible for strategic planning. His life is free. a lot of.

Also very free is Qiao Yuhui.

The framework of Hongyan Fund has been set up, but apart from a few investments on the company's books, there are no specific projects.

And Miss Qiao also became Xu Liang's errand boy.

"Here, here are all the MP3 players available on the market."

Look at the three boxes in front of you.

Xu Liang opened the first one, and a machine that looked like a Walkman, all red, and half the size of a thirty-six-karat book appeared in front of him.

There is an instruction manual next to it.

All in Korean.

Xu Liang has been studying for more than half a year and now has no problem with basic reading, writing and speaking.

MPman F10 has a capacity of 32M, can hold more than a dozen songs, and can sustain playback for 8 hours on 2 nickel-metal hydride batteries.

The workmanship is very rough and burrs can be seen on the edges.

Xu Liang tried the buttons, and they were no different from those commonly seen on domestic Walkmans.

After playing around with it a bit.

"How much?"

"Six hundred and ninety-nine."

"A bit expensive."

"It's not only a bit expensive, it's equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary person. Except for those whose families have some money, who has the leisure to buy this?"

Xu Liang said nothing.

Pick up the next box and open it.

A machine that was all black with a silver roulette button in the middle and a black and white display screen on it, similar in size to an adult's hand, appeared in front of me.

The instructions are all in English.

Xu Liang’s current English reading and writing skills are average.

But I can barely understand it.

RioPMP300 Walkman.

Although it is called a Walkman, it is actually a music player launched by the American company Diamond.

"This one is more expensive, imported goods cost 1,920 yuan."

Qiao Yu said.

Xu Liang nodded, and after playing with it for a while, he opened the third box.

A silver-white, approximately heart-shaped machine came into view.

In addition to the central display screen, there are eight or nine buttons below, which seem to be much more complicated to operate than the RioPMP300 Walkman and MPman F10.

I found out after reading the manual.

This is the NOMAD Jukebox launched by Singapore Innovation Company this year.

It uses Fujitsu's 6.4GB 2.5-inch hard drive as the storage medium, which can store MP3 music equivalent to more than 100 CDs, and the capacity far exceeds all current flash memory MP3s.

However, the size is also very amazing, larger than the average CD Walkman, and its appearance is also very similar to the CD Walkman.

"how much is this?"

"Retail price is 2,000." Qiao Yuhui said.

Xu Liang nodded slightly. He also bought a Samsung MP3 player when he was in South Korea, and the price was similar to the NOMAD Jukebox.

"You want to make an MP3 player?"

Qiao Yuhui also saw a clue.

"I have this idea. Hongmeng Music Network has a large number of registered users, but the number of VIP members is only a few tenths.

In addition to the poor domestic copyright environment, another big reason is that there is no suitable hardware to expand the audience.

However, existing MP3 products are too expensive and inconvenient to carry.

If we can make a product priced under 500 yuan that combines the lightness of the MPman F10 with the large capacity of the NOMAD Jukebox, will there be a market for it? "

Qiao Yuhui couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Are you talking nonsense? Those companies that make MP3 players are not stupid. If this kind of hard drive had been launched, they would have used it to make products. Why are you here thinking about how to surpass them?"

Xu Liang nodded. He didn't know when Apple's iPad was launched.

However, he also knows that there must be a huge market for MP3 products in the future.

"Xu Liang, I believe that the future of MP3 products is bright, just like I believe in the future of mobile phones and computers.

But to run a business, you must learn to make trade-offs.

Now you have done the Internet, education and investment, but no industry has truly reached the top.

If you are too distracted at this time and use your limited resources in more industries, you may make money at the beginning, but when the company develops into deep water, it will face more fierce competition.

The consequence of lack of focus is often a decline in the company's ability to execute and respond.

Many companies have collapsed due to excessive expansion, resulting in tight capital chains.

There are Yamaha Corporation and Claiborne Corporation abroad, and there are also Sanjiu Group and Zhonghua Bicycle domestically.

So, I hope you can think carefully about whether you should take this step! "

Qiao Yuhui's words were like a bucket of cold water pouring down on him, making his mind quickly regain its calmness.

She was right.

Although I have entered three major industries, I have not truly reached the top in any of them.

Although New Dream seems to have achieved great results in the field of high school art training, the market for high school art training is too small to support a real education and training giant.

Moreover, his education + real estate plan requires a large amount of capital investment.

It has just begun. If he is distracted, his new dream will most likely become mediocre in the end, wasting the foundation he has finally laid.

Hongmeng Company, pan-entertainment + search.

In terms of pan-entertainment, that is, the game business is worthy of praise.

But even the best-developed game industry, its influence is limited to China and South Korea. In the vast world market, they are still unknown.

Secondly, comics and music have just begun, and novels and movies are not even there.

That’s when a lot of capital investment is needed.

As for the search business, Bing Search has now completed its layout in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

But except for China, South Korea, Japan and Greater China, which are pretty good, Southeast Asia has just begun to develop, and it is foreseeable that the Southeast Asian market will be difficult to make a profit in a short period of time and requires a lot of financial support.

In addition, compared to the vast world market, East Asia and Southeast Asia are only part of it.

Moreover, they will soon face competition from Google. If they are too distracted, they may lose the capital to compete with Google.

Hanhua and Hongyan focus on the investment field.

They have been established for too short a time and are just juniors in the field of venture capital.

This is especially true for equity investment, which has no influence at all in the industry.

If Xu Liang invests his limited resources in the hardware field, it will inevitably weaken the development of the other four companies.

Xu Liang took a deep breath.

“The company has been developing so smoothly recently, which has made me a little arrogant.

Thank you, Yuhui.

If it weren't for your timely reminder, I might still make the mistake of looking at the height of this mountain, blinding my eyes with money, and forgetting my original intention. "

"Eh..., your words sound really disgusting." Qiao Yuhui looked disgusted.

Xu Liang twitched the corners of his mouth.

It feels like I’ve sincerely fed the dog.

Looking at his stiff face, Qiao Yuhui couldn't help but smile: "You're not angry, are you? How serious is this matter, can you please reveal your point? Come on, give me a smile."

"I'm laughing at you, uncle."

Xu Liang rushed over.

Qiao Yuhui screamed, hid in a hurry, ran back quickly, and yelled.

"Xiao Liangzi, to tell you the truth, I was a good athlete when I was in college."

Although she spoke harshly, she forgot that she was wearing high heels.

Except at the beginning, because he was across the table, he took the opportunity to run a few steps ahead, and was quickly caught up by Xu Liang.

Hold it up with your right hand at the waist, and stretch your left hand to your armpit.

"Haha, don't, don't, don't, I was wrong."

Qiao Yu would laugh until she was out of breath.

The plump and slender body was like a big python twisting and turning in Xu Liang's arms.

Because of the heating, both of them didn't have many clothes on their bodies. This moment made Xu Liang's anger come out.

Qiao Yuhui also instantly noticed something strange about the man behind her.

Before she could escape, she was pressed heavily onto the sofa.

The atmosphere became heated instantly, and the clothes on both of them became less and less.

"What if we are together, Xiaoyang?"

Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, looking at the pretty face of the beauty beneath him with a tinge of sadness, and the hot blood in his body slowly cooled down.

Sitting on the sofa, he sighed melancholy.

"I originally didn't want to mess with either of you, but feelings are never determined by personal will. Now I don't know what to do."

Qiao Yu would come over and put her arms around his neck, her delicate body pressed tightly against his strong body.

"I'll give you time to make a decision, and I respect your decision."

The two hugged each other tightly, conveying their silent tenderness to each other.
