Xing Baohua is willing to invest, and even increase his investment.

When I got home, I couldn't sleep. My mind was completely occupied by the 64-bit machine, which even started coming up with ideas for me.

If Xing Baohua hadn't been so busy with other things, he could probably have developed quite a few interesting things by going into the lab on his own.

But now he's desperate to make some money.

Moreover, this kind of quick money is a rare opportunity, earning money faster and in a shorter cycle than selling mobile phones, computers, or cars.

Unbeknownst to him, Toyota had already begun preparing to offer a 30% premium on his stock acquisition offer.

Toyota Nanzhao organized the funds raised by Toyota Eiji. He planned to discuss with Zhao Shanhai when to sign the repurchase agreement.

This can't go on forever!

Toyota can't afford to mess around with this either.

Well, actually, Xing Baohua couldn't afford to mess things up. If it weren't for a combination of factors, he wouldn't have almost messed things up. It was all his own doing.

Xing Baohua had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by a phone call. He saw that it was a satellite phone and knew it was from Japan.

After calming down a bit, he answered the phone and heard Zhao Shanhai excitedly say, "Boss, I just received a notification from Toyota that they've agreed to buy back your shares at a 30% premium?"

Good news brought Xing Baohua back to his senses.

"Then you should prepare to sign the contract. I reckon Mitsui Tousaburo put in a lot of effort. Here's what we'll do! After the contract is signed, have Toyota divide the funds into three parts and deposit them into Mitsui Bank, HSBC Bank, and Morgan Bank respectively. You keep $500 million for yourself. Take $300 million and give $100 million to Mitsui Tousaburo. The remaining $100 million will be a bonus for the branch office employees."

Xing Baohua said happily, "An investment of over 10 billion yuan yielded a profit of over 3 billion yuan, and it hasn't even been that long!"

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In fact, when Xing Baohua was dealing with Nissan, he also wanted to take down Toyota, diverting Nissan's funds to start dismantling Toyota.

Who would have thought that they would kick a steel plate?

He's still a tough nut to crack.

We have no choice but to increase investment.

Intending to make a show of force, the result was a large sum of money being invested, and they almost got trapped.

Now it's done.

Spend money where you can; only with continuous bonuses and benefits can talent stay.

After discussing it with Zhao Shanhai for a while, Xing Baohua happily hung up the phone.

I can't fall asleep anymore.

After washing up and having a quick breakfast, I set off for the software park in a large entourage with my guards.

He wanted to meet the man named Yang Lianqin first to hear his ideas and suggestions; as for documents and such, that could be handled later.

Upon arriving at the software park, Xing Baohua met this young man, who was in his late twenties and early thirties, wearing thick glasses.

Despite being of Chinese descent, he's originally from Shanghai.

The main reason I'm able to work in Hong Kong is because the salaries here are higher.

The two talked about computers for an entire noon, eating lunch in the cafeteria while they chatted.

Yang Lianqin's idea was to develop multi-processor CPUs.

It was only after he witnessed the dual-CPU system that he thought of supercomputing.

Most personal computers have a single CPU, which is sufficient for personal use.

Only servers use dual or multi-socket CPUs.

To increase computing performance.

The idea is correct. Under the current conditions, the only way to increase computing performance is to use multiple CPUs to achieve micro-supercomputing capabilities.

This type of machine is not suitable for personal use. Therefore, production will be limited, and the price will definitely be extremely high.

Xing Baohua weighed the options in his mind and estimated that the R&D costs were disproportionate to sales, and that they would likely lose money.

To do it or not to do it?

We'll definitely do it, even if it means losing money. First, it'll give the R&D team practice. Even if the people leave, the detailed data and results will remain.

Secondly, we can use this machine to test the market for research institutions. There's probably a huge shortage of these things in China.

If a university or research institution uses a supercomputer, it can use a micro supercomputer instead.

Xing Baohua asked Yang Lianqin to prepare a feasibility report and submit it. If there were no problems, he would allocate $100,000 to Yang as funding and support him in building a team for research and development.

This is equivalent to a professor leading a project.

Don't underestimate him just because he's young. If Xing Baohua doesn't invest in his ideas and approach, he'd be doing himself a disservice by having a second chance.

After returning to Haina from the Science and Technology Park, I processed all the documents there before heading to Huahong.

I'll meet with the major shareholders of Huahong and have a small meeting.

Xing Baohua noticed that the Hong Kong stock market had surged again, with telecommunications stocks rising and Huahong Bank stocks also rising steadily.

This surge made Xing Baohua uneasy.

So they held a small meeting and told all the shareholders to collectively sell their shares in order to lower the stock price.

Inform the market and financial departments to investigate how many investment banks and institutions are buying their stocks.

Xing Baohua must have had many doubts, otherwise he wouldn't have driven the prices of their two listed subsidiaries to such high levels.

If we don't suppress it now and make some money, we won't have this opportunity again in two or three months.

We need to start raising funds and acquiring stocks now. When the next wave of speculation occurs, we'll start releasing reserve stocks.

Let those institutions and investment banks absorb it, and of course, there will be a lot of retail investors following suit.

It's to get you to buy at a high price.

Waiting for a global stock market crash to break out.

First it was Japan, then Hong Kong. In short, the stock markets in both places were no exception, experiencing a waterfall-like plunge.

The institutions and market manipulators are now trapped at high prices. They have nowhere to run.
