With the emergence of "Red Alert" in 1996 and "Age of Empires" in 1997, the Chinese seemed to have found a new economic growth point, and game bars appeared like mushrooms after rain in the streets and alleys of China.

Not to mention other places, there are more than a dozen games in the Jiangwei Industrial Zone alone.

Game bars can be seen in both Shanhouwahou and Dongshan Industrial Park, but the areas with the most game bars are Wankou and Xiaoshutun.

There are three game bars within the 200-meter distance from Wanfeng's house to Wankou, and there are four more game bars on Wankou Street.

There is another one in Triangle Land.

There are about a dozen games in the entire Jiangwei.

These game bars, like the largest one at Xu Bin’s, have more than 20 computers, and even the smaller ones have more than 10 computers.

Day and night, there are people playing Red Alert and Empire online, and it is so lively.

Under this trend, computer sales reached a peak in 1997.

From January to May, Huaguang and Ideal Computer sold more computers than they could have in a whole year, with monthly sales reaching nearly 100,000 units.

Even though the Red Alert game has a small capacity, not all computers at that time could support it.

If online players agree to finish their development before fighting, there will be problems. If you build too many tanks, the system may be slowed down, and there may even be a crash.

Huaguang computers are just that good and generally won’t have this kind of problem, which has earned them extremely high praise from the owners of gaming bars.

Word of mouth says that Huaguang Computer and Ideal Computer are the best-selling computers in this wave.

The computer division estimates that computer sales this year will reach a staggering 1.5 million units.

In the Nanwan Group's business empire, the computer sector is the less profitable one.

But with the continuous price reduction of electronic components, the profit of a computer is now acceptable, at least reaching 20%.

Even the highest-configuration computers only reached the passing line of 15 percent.

Of course, don’t even think about making huge profits.

A computer that costs around 7,000 yuan can make a profit of about 1,000 yuan, which is not bad.

If the sales volume really reaches 1.5 million units, that would be a profit of more than 10 billion.

It’s okay if the profit is low but my sales volume is high.

The popularity of computers has naturally driven the development of many downstream companies, from semiconductor components to chip memory and so on.

Jingdongfang is also one of the biggest beneficiaries.

In the first five months of 1997, Jingdongfang's monitor shipments reached 500,000 units.

Affected by market changes, Jingdongfang now only makes a net profit of 600 yuan for each computer sold to Huaguang, but the sales volume of 500,000 units still brings it a profit of 300 million yuan.

This is no longer a comfortable level, but a step towards great wealth.

With shipment volume, there will naturally be profits, so Wang Desheng dared to invest a large amount of money in the research and development of LCDs, and took over the research and development results left by Gu Hongzhong from Nanwan Group.

Gu Hongzhong had no time to study this because he was researching radar, so all the scientific research results of LCD under his leadership were transferred to Jingdongfang.

Therefore, by May 1997, Jingdongfang had the ability to produce 3.5-generation TFT-LCDs.

At that time, Japanese and Korean companies mastered the most advanced technology in the LCD field, and they had reached the fifth generation level in the LCD field.

Compared with others, Jingdongfang is still lagging behind in LCD.

But this is not the main point. Jingdongfang has found the key to unlock the complete technical blockade of LCD panels.

This is already a huge improvement compared to Jing Dongfang in the previous life.

With this key, Jingdongfang will take off sooner or later.

The last time Jingdongfang was able to produce 3.5-generation TFR-LCD was after it acquired a Korean LCD panel company after the Asian financial crisis in 1997, but that was around 2000.

In this life, Jingdongfang can produce 3.5-generation LCDs three years earlier than in the previous life.

Maybe in three years, Jingdongfang will be able to produce the fifth generation of LCDs.

Now almost all the LCDs produced by Jingdongfang are consumed by Huaguang Mobile Phones. Although the profit of LCD cannot be compared with that of monitors, a mobile phone display screen can still bring in a profit of more than ten yuan.

A few hundred thousand dollars is also a profit of several million dollars.

At least this is a virtuous cycle.

As of May, Huaguang Mobile Phones had quietly shipped hundreds of thousands of units.

It is no longer uncommon to see people holding mobile phones on the street.

At least for Jiangwei, mobile phones are just a slightly luxurious consumer product.

For example, the little troublemaker in someone's family has long used the mobile phone as a toy, and the thing that makes him happiest is to hear the ringing of the mobile phone.

He threw the phone away when it didn't ring, and the good phone was turned into scrap.

The damn Luan Feng was still encouraging him, saying that if it was broken, he could just get a new one.

When Wan Feng heard that this was a son selling his father's land, he felt very sad. Isn't this a waste of money?

Those who win must fight.

So, this afternoon the little troublemaker’s request to play with Wan Feng’s cell phone was flatly refused.

Wan Feng remembered that Xu Meilin's department seemed to have developed a lot of music software, so he asked Yu Zhengdong to study and quickly develop a music phone, preferably one that could play music in a loop, so that his son wouldn't fall down when the music stopped playing.

This bastard has a weird personality like Luan Feng. He refused to listen to the beautiful music on the VCD and had to argue with the chords on his phone. Isn't this a light beating?

Wan Feng wondered if the kid was just looking for an excuse to throw his phone?

It was time to go to work, and Wan Feng drove to the gate of the group, but was stopped by the guard.

"Boss Wan! A girl came to see you at noon, and I told her you weren't at work yet."

Ah! A girl is looking for him? It's been how many years since a girl has looked for him?

Could it be that now that I'm divorced, someone has set their sights on him?

"Where?"

"Leave."

Isn't this the same as not saying anything?

"Do you know where it came from?"

The guard shook his head: "I don't know him."

Wan Feng drove into the yard, parked the car and went into his office. Before he could sit down on the sofa, the phone on the desk rang.

"Boss! That girl is here again, and she's looking for you."

"Let her in."

A few minutes later, the guard led a young girl into Wan Feng's office.

The girl looked to be around twenty years old and was very pretty.

Wan Feng felt that the man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"Little girl! Are you looking for me? I don't seem to know you."

"My dad asked me to come find you."

"Your dad? Who is your dad?"

"My father's last name is Zhan."

Last name: Zhan? Last name: Zhan! The only person in Longjiang he knew with the last name: Zhan Honggui.

"Are you Zhan Lingzi?" Wan Feng asked hesitantly.

The girl nodded shyly.

"Oh my god! You've grown so big!"

When Wan Feng left Fuyuan, Zhan Lingzi was only twelve or thirteen years old. Now she has grown into a grown-up girl.

How many years has it been?

No wonder it looks familiar.
