Rebirth in 1984: Beginning with Han Card Development

What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?

That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.

Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...

Chapter 220: Famous Horses and Warhorses Series

In my past life, at least 50% of students had bought MP3 players or MP4 players.

Zhao Ye murmured, "Thirty or forty songs should be enough for users. If they get tired of listening to the same songs, they can always go to an internet cafe to download new ones."

His first MP3 player was a low-end portable MP3 player like this.

The production cost of this MP3 player is only about twenty-five dollars.

It's priced at $99 overseas, and it's sure to sell out.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Hongxin nodded emphatically and replied, "Okay, boss, no problem. We can produce a sample within half a month!!!"

Obviously, there isn't much of a technical problem with this.

Meizu MP3 players are simply iPods with lower specs.

Zhao Ye smiled and nodded: "Mm."

"Oh, right, we could also develop an iPod mini version, with slightly reduced storage space and size, and five colors to choose from: silver, gold, blue, green, and pink."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Hongxin's eyes lit up. He felt that the iPod mini seemed to have more development potential than the Meizu MP3, especially with its variety of colors to choose from, which would definitely be very popular with girls.

The meeting ended a little over an hour later.

Zhuang Hongxin returned to the laboratory and immediately called over all members of the development team, then assigned tasks to everyone.

Zhao Ye returned to his office and began reviewing documents.

Recently, Wujiang Group's investments in the Three Gorges Dam project and ten major expressway projects have all been finalized.

The huge success of the iPod brought substantial profits to Wujiang Group, which boosted Zhao Ye's confidence once again, leading him to decide to increase investment in water conservancy projects and transportation.

Zhao Ye set his sights on two projects: the Baihetan Hydropower Station and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.

If it weren't a mega-project, Zhao Ye might not have invested.

The Baihetan Hydropower Station is the second largest hydropower station in China after the Three Gorges Dam, and it is of great significance to the country.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, as its name suggests, will be a super bridge connecting Hong Kong, the Pearl River and Macau.

These two projects were certainly not to be invested in immediately.

The Three Gorges Dam project underwent "thirty years of planning and forty years of research" before finally being approved by the state.

The Baihetan Hydropower Station and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge will certainly require a long period of preliminary research and feasibility studies. Zhao Ye simply wants to promote the implementation of these two projects and participate in the investment.

Zhao Ye hopes that these two mega-projects can officially enter the substantive construction phase after 2000.

A short while later, Zhao Ye wrote down his ideas and sent them to the investment department, asking them to develop a more comprehensive plan and then discuss it with the government.

After sending the email, Zhao Ye stretched and gazed into the distance, unable to resist daydreaming.

"With the help of the Wujiang Group, what will China become? In which year will China's GDP surpass that of the United States and become the world's largest economy?"

China has been the world's largest country since ancient times.

Unfortunately, it completely declined during the Qing Dynasty, to the point that even now, the world is still dominated by white people.

How tragic and lamentable!

Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh softly.

"...But we'll catch up soon!" Zhao Ye murmured, his expression filled with strong confidence.

In 1992, the US GDP reached $5.8 trillion, $900 billion less than the same period in the previous century.

In this lifetime, China's GDP reached $2.2 trillion in 1992, just $3.6 trillion behind the United States. Keep in mind that in the previous lifetime, China's GDP at this time was only $500 billion!

Japan's GDP in 1992 was also lower than its historical high, at only $310 million, a drop of $800 billion.

China became the world's third largest economy in 1992.

However, the actual GDP per capita in China is very low, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge. Zhao Ye's wealth alone is equivalent to that of countless people in the country.

...

The next day, Zhao Ye went to Tiangong Technology Company.

After several months of hard work, Tiangong Technology Company has successfully manufactured the "Chitu Motorcycle".

Yes, that's right, Tiangong Technology's motorcycle brand name is Chitu (Red Rabbit).

Among horses, Red Hare is the best; among men, Lü Bu is the best.

Red Hare is practically the king of horses, a symbol of the highest honor.

Zhao Ye named the motorcycle "Chitu" (Red Rabbit) to capitalize on the popularity of the Red Rabbit motorcycle and subconsciously instill in consumers the idea that riding the Red Rabbit motorcycle developed by his company is just like riding a Red Rabbit.

Tell me, do you want to ride Red Hare and roam the world?

Technically speaking, the "Chitu Motorcycle" developed by Tiangong Technology cannot be compared with those established motorcycle brands, but Zhao Ye has cheated.

If you lack technical skills, rely on your looks.

Zhao Ye directly copied the classic Harley-Davidson Fatboy Special custom version.

With its strong lines and rugged shape, it retains a retro American charm.

Its sturdy body and wide tires give it a strong sense of muscle and power.

That's absolutely awesome!

Such a motorcycle is bound to cause a sensation once it hits the market.

Soon, Zhao Ye arrived at Tiangong Technology Company, and then, led by the staff, saw the "Chitu Motorcycle" sample.

Zhao Ye was immediately captivated when he first saw it, and he couldn't help but walk forward and reach out to touch the car body.
