Reborn Tycoon Rise

When Secretary Zhang heard these conditions, he smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xu. I will report this matter immediately. Once there is a reply from above, I will contact Mr. Xu immediately!"

Xu Zhidao: "Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Zhang!"

…

In this era, the mainland is in urgent need of foreign exchange. Basically, foreign investors can pass through as long as they are not entering the market to earn foreign exchange from the mainland.

Many Hong Kong capital and overseas Chinese capital have entered the mainland to build hotels, but the hotels actually make money from overseas tourists. Such supporting investments can also attract more overseas tourists and earn foreign exchange for the country.

Coca-Cola also entered the mainland market again in 1978, but the government also strictly restricted sales channels and only allowed sales to foreign tourists.

The investment in a five-star hotel in Shenhai City planned by Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong is actually not a problem at all, but the central government may want to use the money elsewhere.

However, Xu Zhi himself is not too sure about the golf course. After all, the area required is too large. In order to increase the bargaining chip agreed by the superiors, he is really willing to invest 200 million Hong Kong dollars or more. Xu Zhi does not know the future How will the Deep Sea City develop, but it will definitely expand from the current site. If I build a golf course 3km away from the current city center, it will definitely be a golden land in the future. This is also the biggest foundation I have prepared for Evergrande Real Estate. Once If the project is really approved by the central government, this piece of land will become Evergrande’s eternal cornucopia!

Shenhai City is just a poor place now, but in the future it can become a metropolis comparable to Shanghai and Kyoto. When the same conditions apply to Shanghai, even if the government agrees, the place arranged will definitely not be a prosperous place. Only Shenhai City has the opportunity to obtain such a large area of ​​future golden land!

What’s more important is that Shenhai City is seriously short of funds this year. As a result, even if there are policies, various developments and reforms are difficult to implement because of lack of money. Next year, Xiangjiang real estate developers will extend their claws to Shenhai City, build houses in Luohu District, and sell them to the people of Xiangjiang. , this move attracted a large amount of funds for the SAR government.

Once the Shenhai City Government is not short of money and realizes the charm of the land, Xu Zhi’s golf course will be inaccessible not only in the central area but also in Shenhai City!

Naturally, Xu Zhilai does not need to worry about the negotiation and subsequent construction of the electric fan factory. Yao Mingcheng's professional legal team is already preparing to set off from Xiangjiang. After the details are negotiated with the industrial zone government, the factory can be officially built.

…

Time flies so fast, and it’s June in the blink of an eye. Midea’s arcade sales in the North American market have begun to stabilize, and even begun to decline. In the Japanese market, Sony has exerted its best channel capabilities, and the tank battle has made Sony It made a lot of money, but Pac-Man, like in history, completely failed in Japan. Sony has nearly 10,000 Pac-Man motherboards in waste, but due to the agreement with Midea, it cannot be sold outside Japan. More importantly, the exclusive distribution contract between Sony and Midea sets a minimum sales limit based on the sales volume in the US market. Even if Sony cannot sell one unit, the money must be spent.

In order to stop the loss, Morita Shaofu personally flew to Xiangjiang.

The secretary made two cups of tea for the two of them and then left. Xu Zhi took a sip and said with a smile, "I heard that Sony acquired Nintendo. So Sony is also preparing to enter the game industry?"

Because of the emergence of Xu Zhi, the history of the game industry has undergone a serious deflection.

The emergence of classic games such as Cube, Pac-Man, and Tank Battle has stimulated the rapid development of the arcade market, and insiders are jealous of the profits. Countless companies have entered the industry, trying to copy the miracle of Midea.

But for Nintendo, it was an even more nightmare era. Just like the original history, after seeing the huge profits made by Taitung Company's Space Invaders, Nintendo also set its sights on the arcade industry. However, Nintendo was not in a hurry to get rid of huge debts. The game is a direct copycat of Space Invaders.

But with the emergence of the Tank Battle at the end of last year, even the Space Invaders were completely defeated. Several of Nintendo's games were put on the market, and the company suffered serious losses.

The only opportunity for Yokoi's rise was Gunpei Yokoi's handheld game console plan, but he missed the opportunity due to the short-sightedness of the top management. Until Midea launched the Gameboy, with monthly sales of more than two million units, this brought a crisis of destruction to the top management of Nintendo. .

Although Midea actually had a handheld console plan for a long time, a group of Nintendo shareholders didn't know. They only knew that Yokoi Gunpei proposed a handheld console plan but was rejected by the company. Then he went to Midea Electronics in Hong Kong, and the Gameboy came out!

In the end, several Nintendo executives were forced to resign. The new president was frowning when faced with this mess, but he received an acquisition request from Sony!

Shao Morita smiled and said: "The game industry has begun to flourish. This can be seen from the rise of your company. Sony is committed to providing the most perfect electronic products to people around the world. In the field of games, we are Sony. Senior, I hope Mr. Xu can take care of me in the future!"

Xu Zhidao: "Mr. Shengtian, do you think I will cultivate an enemy?"

Shao Morita smiled and said: "I can understand Mr. Xu's concerns, but in fact the current game market is still very large. We can make the market bigger together. At present, it has not reached the stage of competition! Besides, games like this It is unlikely that a monopoly company will emerge in the industry, and we can definitely cooperate with each other to defeat other companies first, and we will worry about the rest later.”

"That makes sense." Xu Zhi smiled and said, "But since we have signed a contract, the contract will naturally prevail. If Pac-Man doesn't sell well in Japan, you don't want to pay. Then if it really becomes a big hit, Now, will you give me some extra shares?"

Pac-Man motherboards are all produced by Sony itself, and the cost is estimated to be only about one hundred US dollars per piece. Ten thousand pieces will cost almost over one million US dollars. It seems like a lot, but it is nothing to Sony. The key is that share Exclusive distribution contract. Because Pac-Man is so popular in the United States, according to the contract, Sony's minimum guaranteed sales volume in Japan is 30,000 units. Within 30,000 units, Sony will pay US$24 million. After 30,000 units, Midea will receive additional sales from each arcade machine. The commission is $600. Now that Pac-Man is on the market in Japan, Sony will suffer a loss of US$24 million if the contract is followed.

Morita Morita said: "Western countries value contracts, but we in the East value favors more. Mr. Xu, 24 million US dollars is not much, but I don't want it to appear on our company's annual report. I can promise you that I will use this money I will compensate you in other ways."

"What aspect?" Xu Zhixiao asked.

Morita Shaofu said: "It depends on what Mr. Xu needs. You can make a list and we can negotiate in the future. If you are not satisfied, you can also hand over cash, but it will take some time to make the money normal." Business dealings.”

"There is no need for cash. I know Sony has many properties in Tokyo. How about transferring these properties to me?" Xu Zhi said.

Morita Shaofu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, no problem."

Xu Zhi smiled with satisfaction. Now that Japanese real estate has not entered the crazy stage of the 1980s, it would not be a bad idea to defraud Sony this time and use it to buy properties in Japan.

Morita Shaofu said again: "Mr. Xu, this time I come here and I also want to obtain the right to use the patent of Midea Electronics?"

Xu Zhi asked: "What patent?"

Morita Shaofu said: "Cross key!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Then Sony decides to make a home game console or a handheld console?"

Shao Morita said: "Considering Midea Electronics' current dominance in the field of handheld consoles, in order to show goodwill for cooperation, as long as we can obtain the cross-key patent, Sony will not enter this field. The purchase of the cross-key patent is for home game consoles. , the current leader in this field is the American company Atari, and when we enter the field of home game consoles, we will not infringe on Midea Electronics' market!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Mr. Morita, since I can invent the cross key, do you think I only care about handheld computers?"

Morita Shaofu was not surprised after hearing this and said: "So, Midea Electronics is also preparing to enter the field of home game consoles?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, so Mr. Shengtian should know my answer!"

Morita Shaofu said: "Is it true that there is no possibility of cooperation at all?"

"No!" Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This is related to the strategic layout of our company. The cross-key patent is the most important part of it. It is impossible for us to sell it. Mr. Morita told me the same thing last time, right?"

Previously, Midea was preparing to enter the field of color TVs. After acquiring the largest color TV assembly factory in Hong Kong, Xu Zhi contacted Morita Shaofu with the intention of obtaining some patent authorizations for color picture tubes and preparing technical reserves for opening factories in the mainland in the future.

There are many types of color tubes, and domestic giants such as Europe, the United States, and Japan use different technologies, and patent barriers are strict. Even R\u0026D giants like General Electric have fallen behind in the field of color tubes.

Xu Zhi has no ability to research this technology that has existed for decades, but it would be good if he could buy a license. However, the color tube is one of Sony's flagship products, and Shao Morita rejected Xu Zhi for this reason.

Shao Morita said with some pity: "That's such a pity! I wonder when Midea's home game console will be released?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Mr. Shengtian, this is our company's secret."

Morita Shaofu said: "Sorry, I was rash. I just wanted to see what new ideas Xu Sheng had. It is really admirable to be able to develop a product like the cross key! No wonder Midea can rise so quickly."

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Morita. Compared with Sony, the beauty is still far behind!"

Sony's strength lies in the research and development of countless technology patents, starting from the tape recorder, transistor recorder, transistor television, transistor small tape recorder, home tape video recorder, the world's first generation single-gun three-beam color picture tube, etc...

In the middle of this year, Sony will release the first Walkman. This Walkman will sell 200 million units in the next ten years, and subsequent innovative products will be overwhelmed.

In the field of games, the only thing Sony lacks is good creativity. Because of Xu Zhi's influence, Sony has now acquired Nintendo. Although Gunpei Yokoi is missing, a large number of game professionals have also made up for Sony's last shortcoming.

Xu Zhi had to guard against this!
