However, it is still far from enough. The sales volume of Nintendo's Famicom has reached an astonishing 60 million, and the current monthly production volume still cannot meet the demand.
Bao Junyi said: "Assign a group of mechanical R&D personnel to find a way to improve production efficiency, shorten chip production time, and improve quality."
Jiang Wenlong, who was standing next to him, made a bitter face and nodded, "Bao Sheng, we'll try our best to find a solution."
“It’s not about trying your best, it’s about giving it your all.”
"Because, if Miracle Group can produce a large number of chips, in addition to meeting Miracle Group's needs, they can also export them in large quantities and sell them abroad to earn huge profits. Otherwise, where would the group get so much money for your research and development?"
"Or, should we reduce the R&D center's funding next year?"
Jiang Wenlong immediately became anxious and said quickly, "Don't...don't. Improving chip production efficiency is up to our researchers."
“Not only do we need to improve efficiency, but we also need to meet quality standards.”
"No problem, but we need Baosheng to allocate a group of experienced German technical engineers to help us complete it. After all, these lithography machines were also produced in Germany, and they are more familiar with them."
Bao Junyi knew that he was not interested in this kind of machinery, but how could a scientific researcher not understand machinery?
Nowadays, cutting-edge equipment is being upgraded too quickly, and the products developed are becoming more and more dependent on cutting-edge equipment. We still have to purchase a batch of advanced lithography machines to solve this problem.
Bao Junyi smiled and continued, "It's no problem to allocate a group of engineers, but it must be done quickly."
Because Nintendo will launch their game console in October next year, and there will definitely be competition for the market then. It is necessary to launch it before then to seize market share and establish industry rules.
"Okay! I'll watch it myself."
"Okay then. As long as you complete it, the project will allocate a bonus of HK$10 million. However, if you don't finish it within a month, the bonus will be reduced by HK$100,000 per day. In the end, how much you get depends on how long it takes you to complete it."
Jiang Wenlong was frightened by Bao Junyi's bold move. He wanted them to risk their lives. Who could withstand the test of so much money?
He smiled bitterly and said, "Bao Sheng, I feel like my body is drained. I need to rest."
"Old Jiang, you're only in your forties. How could your health fail so quickly?"
"Tomorrow I'll ask Lao Jia to send you some of the ox stomach wine, tiger stomach wine, wild wolfberry, etc. that he bought, so you can nourish yourself well."
"If that doesn't work, buy some Liuwei Dihuang Wan."
Jiang Wenlong was so angry that he turned around and left without even saying hello.
Bao Junyi felt that Chiang Kai-shek was sometimes quite interesting and his mind was starting to become more flexible.
Bao Junyi returned to the top-floor office, where his secretaries Qiu Shuzhen and Jia Yuezheng, as well as Yuan Tianfan, had been waiting for a long time.
Bao Junyi said: "Report on the recent progress of the group's projects."
Jia Yuezheng reported: "Mr. Bao, after several months, the separation and reorganization of Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa have been completed."
"Wharf Holdings now owns a large amount of land in Hong Kong, such as Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, the New Territories, and Hong Kong Island, as well as commercial buildings and hotels."
“Now we have allocated the Prince’s Building, Alexandra House and Swire House, which we won through bidding, to you, Wharf Holdings. You are now a true ‘landlord’.
Bao Junyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. You, Lao Jia, have made a great contribution to completing the split and reorganization in such a short time."
"Bao Sheng, this is all thanks to the employees below. I'm just counting."
"You don't have to be modest. I remember everything."
"Old Jia, how are you going to develop all that land at Wharf Holdings?"
"Mr. Bao, Wharf Holdings has just completed its restructuring and still needs a period of internal adjustment. However, we can offer non-core land for development in partnership with established real estate companies in Hong Kong."
"We provide the land, they provide the capital for construction, we work together to build it, and the profits after completion are divided proportionally."
"We can also learn from them about construction experience and cultivate real estate-related talents without harming the group's interests."
"Bao Sheng, what do you think?"
"Old Jia, your proposal is very good. Wharf Holdings is indeed lacking relevant real estate experience right now. Through cooperation, we can learn from their advanced management experience."
"So, Lao Jia, have you decided which real estate companies we should cooperate with?"
Jia Yuezheng hesitated and said, "Mr. Bao, the four most suitable real estate companies in Hong Kong right now are New World, Henderson Land Development, Cheung Kong Holdings, and Sun Hung Kai Properties."
"But it's up to you to decide which one to give birth to."
Bao Junyi understood what he meant, knew when to advance and when to retreat, and acted cautiously. This had become a habit of his character.
It is now 1976. The real estate market has just recovered from the trough, and Hong Kong's economy is gradually emerging from the oil crisis. Hong Kong's housing prices and rents are slowly rising, residents' income levels are gradually increasing, and demand for housing is increasing again.
As a result, from 1978 to 1979, Hong Kong's market economy entered a period of prosperity, with house prices and rents rising rapidly, land prices hitting new highs, the scale of real estate development investment continuing to expand, a large number of new buildings started construction, and market transactions became extremely active.
Bao Junyi thought for a moment and said to Qiu Shuzhen, "Invite Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong, and Li Zhaoji to play golf in Deep Water Bay tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll make an appointment right away."
"Lao Jia, real estate development generally takes 2-3 years. I plan to develop most of the non-core land."
"Hong Kong's economy has been weak since the oil crisis, but this year we've clearly seen the economy gradually recovering and residents' incomes continuing to rise. Demand for housing is sure to surge in the coming years."
"So, I plan to develop Wharf's non-core land and monetize it to ease the group's financial pressure."
Jia Yuezheng said worriedly: "Mr. Bao, if we release a large amount of land for development, will it cause housing prices to fall? It's not impossible."
If it weren't for the time travel, Bao Junyi wouldn't be sure, but after learning about the development history of Blue Star, he had no concerns at all.
"Old Jia, I know what I'm doing. Just go for it."
At this time, they were in Li Jiacheng Villa in Deep Water Bay.
The landline phone suddenly rang, and the housekeeper answered: "Hello, hello, this is the Li family villa, who is this?"
"Hello, Butler Li, I'm Qiu Shuzhen, Bao Junyi's secretary. Is Mr. Li home?"
"Oh, the master is at home today."
"Okay, Mr. Bao Junyi has an appointment with Mr. Li to play golf in Deep Water Bay tomorrow. Is Mr. Li free tomorrow morning?"
"Then please wait a moment, I will go ask the master."
The housekeeper knocked on the door of Li Jiacheng's study and said, "Master, Secretary Bao Junyi called to ask if you are free tomorrow. He wants to invite you to play golf in Deep Water Bay tomorrow morning."
"I wonder if you're free?"
Li Jiacheng became puzzled. He had no business dealings with Bao Junyi at all, so why would he ask him to play golf?
