As for the reason for keeping his promise, Chen Dong would not tell Hua Zi.
Even if you tell him, he probably won't understand.
In fact, Chen Dong now harbors a sense of mission.
He argued that if everyone uses pirated software, then who will make the legitimate versions?
If legitimate products can't generate revenue, how can we talk about innovation and cultural heritage in our country?
The experience of Kingsoft is the most obvious example.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy is a collective memory for people in the 80s and 90s, but in reality, Kingsoft didn't make much money because of piracy.
In addition, Chen Dong had Hua Zi produce pirated DVDs simply because Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television culture is indeed superior to that of the mainland in this era. If he didn't do it, someone else would.
If you do it yourself, you can still have some control over it.
Therefore, Chen Dong simply told Hua Zi that pirated CDs were not a long-term solution. People's lives would get better and better, and their awareness of legitimate products would gradually develop. At that time, the country would definitely crack down on piracy. Becoming a big pirate was very dangerous.
After hearing Chen Dong's prediction, Hua Zi nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Chen Dong strongly agrees with the view that "small businesses rely on intelligence, while great businesses rely on virtue."
In other words, to make a company bigger, stronger, and more sustainable, it must have a bottom line, social responsibility, and strive for the well-being of society and the people.
On a larger scale, tyrannical dynasties rarely last long, while only dynasties that combine firmness and flexibility can achieve lasting stability.
The same applies to businesses. Domestic private enterprises are just starting out, so this pattern is not very obvious yet, but it is more common to see this phenomenon abroad.
For example, Chen Dong reminded Lin Lao to pay attention to Monsanto, the American company that developed and produced so many pesticides and seeds that poisoned the world. Its ultimate fate was that, starting in the 1980s, it was constantly protested and sued. Even with the support of the American government, it could not escape the fate of being broken up and eventually acquired by Bayer, a German company.
In addition, it must be said that although their generation lives in a time of change, and many people are willing to take risks to make money, Hua Zi and Chen Dong are still considered law-abiding.
That's why they say "birds of a feather flock together."
In fact, Chen Dong had an idea: digital music would be a huge market in the future, and he was determined to enter this field.
However, the timing is not yet right to enter the market.
Therefore, he is now asking Hua Zi to help him collect some things that interest him, partly to wait for the right opportunity, and partly to let Hua Zi settle down for a while and temper his temperament.
While the development of digital music is rapid, it was initially a money-burning behemoth. If Hua Zi doesn't have the right mindset, even if Chen Dong forces him into this field and puts him in charge of a large music company, he won't be able to endure the loneliness and wait for the fruits of his labor.
Through today's incident, Chen Dong realized that Hua Zi's temperament had changed significantly compared to before; at least he was no longer as impulsive in his speech and actions.
Of course, he was somewhat impulsive in buying this ambergris.
But it has to be said that Hua Zi's luck is really good, it can only be described as defying the heavens.
Chen Dong told Wolong, and Wolong then instructed his bodyguards to load all the ambergris into the car and drive it away.
Although the warehouse here is relatively safe, Chen Dong felt that it should be moved to a safer place.
Even if you just leave it there, it's good to look at it from time to time.
Three hundred kilograms in total!
Ambergris itself is not heavy, so it takes up a lot of space, filling every car to the brim.
Chen Dong invited Hua Zi to go back together, because they wanted to drink and celebrate.
Hua Zi readily agreed.
It had been a long time since he had drunk and chatted with Chen Dong.
Upon arriving at the Longteng Building, Chen Dong signed two cash checks for Hua Zi, one for 100,000 yuan and the other for 1 million yuan.
The 100,000 yuan check was given to Hua Zi himself as a reward for the acquisition.
The one million yuan note was additional operating funds from Chen Dong, allowing him to continue acquiring rare and unusual items.
Chen Dong pushed two checks in front of Hua Zi, "Here, take them!"
Hua Zi tried to wave his hand to decline, but Chen Dong glared at him and asked, "Don't tell me you think the money is too little?"
He quickly replied, "Brother Dong, how could that be? If you hadn't given me guidance and personally inspected the goods, I wouldn't have been able to buy them, and even if I had, I wouldn't have recognized them!"
After hearing Chen Dong's plans for the future, Hua Zi stopped insisting.
Hua Zi has finally tasted success this time. He never expected that his impulsive act would lead him to buy such an expensive item.
Shenzhen is located by the sea, and many fishermen make a living by fishing at sea.
As far as Chen Dong knew, they had retrieved quite a few rare items from the sea over the years.
Chen Dong also didn't want to miss out on these things.
If you're willing to put your mind to it, you can find good things.
Just like this time, I never expected that I would be able to get so much ambergris.
As for what to do with it, Chen Dong hasn't figured it out yet; at least, he's not thinking about selling it right now.
This thing will become more and more valuable in the future.
Ambergris is primarily produced by sperm whales, and due to the continuous hunting of sperm whales, their numbers are decreasing year by year, and they have been listed as an endangered species. As a result, the production of ambergris is also decreasing.
The trade in natural ambergris has decreased to less than 100 kilograms per year.
