Chapter 62

Song Shu has been busy with the clothing factory these days. She goes to check on the progress every day. Fortunately, the people she recruited are capable, and the clothing factory is slowly getting on the right track.

Employee recruitment has already begun. Song Shu doesn't have any other requirements, except that the clothing factory only recruits female workers in the workshop.

After Ah Lian called home, she was surprised to find that besides her relatives, there were also many women from the village. However, she did not say anything. She knew that if it were not for a living, they would not leave their hometown and come to such a far place to work alone.

So she told them the address of the clothing factory and the recruitment process. She couldn't help much with other things. It was up to them whether they would be hired or not.

The widow took her two little girls to apply for the job. She was a little nervous when holding the children's hands, because people would not give her a chance if they saw she was with children.

When she signed up, she found a woman who looked like a leader standing by and watching. The most surprising thing was that the woman was carrying a baby on her back, while other employees were already used to it.

After the widow reported her name and said she had some sewing skills, the recruiter told her she was hired.

The widow was a little bit unconvinced and stammered, "I have two children here, can I enter the factory..."

The employee's expression did not change, and he said naturally: "Our factory boss said that if the main person has no other problems, we can also hire people with children. Look, just like our factory director, she also has a child to work, but she is very capable and the boss still hired her."

The employee pointed to a construction site on the other side and continued, "See? What's being built over there is a place similar to a nursery in a kindergarten. Employees can send their children there for only five yuan a month. Of course, we don't collect this money, but pay it to the teacher who takes care of the children."

The widow was extremely excited after hearing this. She never thought that this factory was so good that it even built a kindergarten for children to look after. Moreover, it only cost five yuan a month, which was very cheap. Normally, if she asked a neighbor to look after a child for a day or buy some fruits for them, it would cost more than five yuan. And this was the price for one month.

The widow smiled as she led her two daughters' hands towards the dormitory. The factory provided food and accommodation, so she didn't have to worry even though their wages had not been paid yet.

On the way, we met the girl who appeared from the village. It was said that her family would sell her to get the bride price. The girl was obviously working in the factory. She had a rare happy expression on her face. Usually, the widow would lower her head and look gloomy when she met the girl.

Thinking of the widow holding her daughter's hand, a smile appeared on her face: How nice.

Chen Zonghao has been busy with his electronics factory these days. The first batch of DVDs has been produced, and the advertising campaign is in full swing in Hong Kong and the mainland.

When they returned to the hotel that night, Song Shu was excited when she heard him say that the first batch of DVDs produced in the factory would be released soon. This could be regarded as a high-tech electronic product produced by mainland China, and it was unique in the world. One could imagine how much foreign exchange it would earn for the country in the future. No wonder the government headed by Director Wu strongly supported Chen Zonghao's factory.

Thinking of something, Song Shu asked, "Have you applied for patent registration for this patented technology in other countries in Europe and the United States?"

DVD technology is not that advanced, and others can replicate it perfectly by disassembling it a few times. In the previous life, VCD was first produced by Wan Yan in their country. However, the patented technology was registered first by Europe and the United States, so their country, which should have been able to have a piece of the pie, was kicked off the table. In the end, Wan Yan's company went bankrupt because it was not allowed to produce VCDs because of the lack of patents, while other European and American companies that registered patents first made a lot of money, but the first company to produce it did not get any dividends. How sad.

But there is no other way around it. Only if you register the patent first, other companies that want to use this technology will have to get your company's permission and pay you a large sum of money. On the other hand, this patent registration still protects the interests of developers to a large extent.

Although the patent law was originally established by European and American countries to protect their domestic companies, and the regulations are very overbearing, once you apply for a patent, everyone will abide by the rule and not break it. Because if someone breaks it, then the patents previously registered by other companies can be used by anyone, which is impossible. Therefore, registering a patent still has more advantages than disadvantages.

Chen Zonghao nodded and said, "Before cooperating with Mr. Xu, I had already registered the patent in Hong Kong, and also entrusted an agent to register the patent in other countries. Don't worry."

Song Shu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what he said: "That's good." But thinking of Chen Zonghao's style of doing things, he would not leave such a big loophole for himself.

Song Shu was more interested in the sales of the DVD tomorrow. "Will the DVD go on sale tomorrow?"

Chen Zonghao nodded: "Well, the film will be sold in both mainland China and Hong Kong tomorrow, and there will be free movie viewing events in major cities in mainland China and Hong Kong."

Song Shu's eyes lit up when she heard about this activity. She admired his brain. There were no entertainment activities in that era. If there were free movies, everyone would be willing to go and watch them. Moreover, there would be a group of people watching, and the atmosphere would be lively. Then the publicity effect would be achieved. Even if there were more advertisements, if the effect was not seen on the spot, then fewer people would buy them.

"Will there be movie-watching events in Shenzhen?" Song Shu asked.

Chen Zonghao nodded: "Tomorrow night the government will organize a free movie viewing event in the downtown square."

Originally, Chen Zonghao planned to hold the event with his company's own funds, but the Shenzhen Municipal Government took the initiative to pay for it after hearing about it. Of course, their senior executives have already experienced the DVD player and know that it is the goose that lays golden eggs. Giving them a printing press to produce foreign exchange, they must let Boss Chen see their sincerity.

Song Shu nodded and suggested, "Why don't we go over there together tomorrow night to take a look."

They have been busy with factory affairs these days, and Lian Jiahui has been running around with them. Song Shu thought about going there tomorrow night to relax.

Chen Zonghao had no objection and nodded: "Okay."

Hong Kong, Zhou's Film and Television Company, Zhou Dacheng closed the signed contract, looked up at the man sitting opposite him, and clicked his tongue twice, "I was wondering what big move you were planning recently, Old Xu. It turns out that my investment in electronic technology has paid off."

Thinking about the contract he had just signed, it was about selling the copyright of the recorded DVD videotapes of various films and TV programs under their film and television company to Washington Technology Company.

Huasheng Technology Company is the technology company opened by Chen Zonghao in Hong Kong, and Xu Changlong invested in it.

Zhou Dacheng thought of the DVD player mentioned in the contract. One videotape could record a movie of more than two hours, and the picture quality was as high as 720p. The image storage was a qualitative leap compared to current VCRs.

If anyone can profit from the appearance of this DVD, then these film and television companies can definitely get a piece of the pie, because the appearance of this DVD means that the movies and TV series released by their companies can be disseminated more widely, and more people will buy their DVDs to watch at home, and their film and television companies can get a share of the profits from every DVD sold.

It's not like before, where you could make money from the box office when the movie was released, and then just make a little money from the few videotapes sold.

After all, it takes three or four videotapes to record a movie. It is bulky and inconvenient to use, and the image quality is not high. Few people will buy them to watch. Except for video theaters that are willing to buy them and charge a viewing fee to show them to the public, few families will buy them.

Now the emergence of this DVD player means that even families can have their own movie theater. You can watch movies at home with just a DVD disc. How convenient.

Zhou Dacheng could imagine that once this thing was sold, people would rush to buy it. It was a huge profit. Thinking that he would be able to make money without doing anything for a long time in the future, Zhou Dacheng was jealous and said sourly: "Old Xu really picked up a treasure for you. I think you will be the Xu Bancheng of Hong Kong in the future."

Xu Changlong looked extremely humble. "What are you talking about, Lao Zhou? If this DVD sells well in the future, your film and television company will make money without doing anything."

Zhou Dacheng felt much better after hearing this. Yes, they, the film and television companies, can get a taste of the soup, while others can only envy and hate. Thinking of this, Zhou Dacheng felt a little schadenfreude: "Old Xu, I think the guys in the Li and He families will not be happy to see that you have invested in technology and made something. Tsk tsk, you will be in trouble, and other national companies will also be jealous."

Xu Changlong's face showed the decisiveness of a man who had experienced many years of ups and downs in the business world. "Let them come over. This is not the first time I, Old Xu, have fought against them."

Xu Changlong also started out as a penniless boy and worked hard for many years to build such a large business in Hong Kong. He has encountered all kinds of things in the business world.

In a certain building, a man turned on the TV as usual and prepared to re-watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In those days, there were not many TV series to watch, and people usually went to the video hall to watch movies.

After a TV series is over, a commercial pops up. The man will turn off the TV as usual, but he will pause while listening to the commercial.

The commercial showed a woman coming home from get off work, selecting a videotape from her collection and putting it into a machine that looked a bit like a VCR but was lighter than a VCR, and then the woman started watching a movie.

The commercials were sped up, and the woman didn't change the tape until she had finished watching the entire movie. She could also see that the picture quality of the tape playing on her TV was very clear, the same as what she usually saw in the cinema.

The ad ends with a woman holding up the machine and reading, "DVD, your home theater."

The man was stunned for a long time after watching the advertisement. All he could think about was the DVD player in the advertisement. The advertisement said that this machine could play an entire movie using only one disc, and the picture quality was high definition.

For a man who is obsessed with TV and movies, this was a real thrill. He was a movie fan and would go to the video room at least once a week to watch old movies.

Originally he was planning to buy a VCR, but the VCR would record and play three or four tapes for one movie, and the picture quality was not good. The tapes were also easily damaged. He calculated and found that it would not cost much to go to a video hall, so he did not buy one.

But this DVD player looks much better than a VCR, and if it really works as advertised, the man plans to buy one if he can.

Everyone who saw the commercial was looking forward to the DVD player but also somewhat unconvinced, thinking that the commercial might be exaggerating.

In Shenzhen, Liu Tiezhu personally followed the truck to deliver DVDs to the audio-visual stores that had ordered them.

As soon as he got off the car, he said to the person who came out enthusiastically: "Boss Fang, it's been a long time since we last met. I brought you the DVD player."

Mr. Fang, who came out of a video store, politely said to Liu Tiezhu, "Please sell it to me, Liu."

Liu Tiezhu, who had become the sales director, did not correct his address and said enthusiastically, "Boss Fang, I will help you move the machine in and you can try it out."

Boss Fang did not refuse, so Liu Tiezhu walked into the store with him holding a DVD player.

There was a TV in the video store, and previously it was playing a videotape from a VCR. Liu Tiezhu walked over and said, "Boss Fang, I'll show you how to connect the DVD player to the TV. It's very easy. Just plug this wire in here, and then..."

Boss Fang walked over, watched him perform the movements, and nodded: "It's very easy. It looks similar to how you use a video camera."

Liu Tiezhu nodded as he taught him: "Yeah, it's very easy."

Boss Fang was a little worried when he heard this and asked, "Is your DVD player really as useful as you promoted it to be?"

Boss Fang was a little bit unconvinced. On the one hand, he opened the video store to make money, but more importantly, he was a movie fan himself and had a collection of both domestic and foreign videotapes.

So when Liu Tiezhu came to sell him this DVD player, he was attracted and ordered one without much hesitation.

But this DVD player is not that cheap, one costs 2,500 yuan, which is two or three months' salary for a worker.

But considering that the price of DVD players in the past was three to four thousand yuan, the selling price of DVD players in this era is considered cheap.

Chen Zonghao calculated the cost and found that the price in mainland China and Hong Kong was 2,500 yuan, while it was two or three times more expensive when sold to other countries.

Liu Tiezhu was not angry at all after hearing this. He had already installed the DVD player and said with a smile, "Boss Fang, it's already installed. You can see if it works now. Here, these movie discs are sent as a set by our factory."

They have a sales promotion whereby five movie discs are given away for free with the purchase of a DVD player.

Liu Tiezhu agreed with his boss' idea of ​​giving away a CD with the purchase of a machine. If he were a consumer, he would be tempted too.

Boss Fang was a little surprised when he heard this: "You guys also gave away CDs as a set?"

Liu Tiezhu smiled and said, "Yes, everyone who buys the machine will receive a CD for free. Of course, you will have to pay for the subsequent CDs, 50 yuan per CD."

Boss Fang was shocked and asked, "Only fifty yuan for one?"

You should know that a videotape now costs 70 or 80 yuan, and watching a complete movie costs more than 100 yuan. This DVD disc only costs one-third of the previous videotape, which is much cheaper. No wonder Boss Fang was shocked.

Boss Fang murmured, "Won't you lose out by doing this?"

Liu Tiezhu smiled but said nothing. Although he didn't know much about business, he believed in his boss. His boss said to sell it in a certain way, so he sold it in that way. Liu Tiezhu believed that his boss would not do business at a loss.

Just as Liu Tiezhu thought, Chen Zonghao would not suffer a loss by pricing like this. On the one hand, his CD burning technology was very mature and the cost of a CD would not exceed 10 yuan. On the other hand, he planned to sell these CDs at a low price and in large quantities, because cheaper CDs would sell more CDs, thereby boosting the sales of DVD players.

"Boss, take a look, which of these movies do you plan to show?" Liu Tiezhu handed a few CDs to Boss Fang.

Boss Fang took them in a daze, and found that the discs were very light, much lighter than videotapes. He looked down and found that the discs were all the recent popular movies in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Boss Fang picked out "Dragon Leap" and passed it over, "Let's play this one."

This martial arts movie was directed by kung fu superstar Jackie Chan. The scenes were exciting and Boss Fang went to watch it three times when it was released.

"Okay." Liu Tiezhu took it and played it for him.

As soon as the picture started playing, Mr. Fang, who had been running a video store for several years, noticed the difference. The picture played by this DVD player was indeed much clearer than those videotapes, and the sound was also well recorded.

Boss Fang could not help but become more and more fascinated as he watched. Even when Liu Tiezhu asked him to sign to confirm the order, he signed without even looking up. He did not even know when Liu Tiezhu left.

After the movie was over, Boss Fang came to his senses and saw that the entire movie was played on one disc without him having to change the disc in the middle.

Boss Fang was delighted and thought that the things Liu was promoting were really good. He would be the most loyal supporter of DVD players from now on.

Thinking of this, Boss Fang turned around and looked back. He was almost scared to death. He saw that five or six people had surrounded him and were looking at him with sharp eyes. Boss Fang was stared at by so many eyes and he murmured, "What do you want?"

As soon as Boss Fang asked, the people behind him started talking at once: "Boss, what device did you use to play the movie just now? Why is the picture so clear?"

"Boss, why do I see you never change the tape after watching a movie?"

"boss……"

Boss Fang waved his hand to quiet them down and said, "Okay, I'll tell you one by one. It's because I bought a DVD player. This DVD player..."

Boss Fang was happy to clear their confusion because he had signed an agreement with Liu's sales company that he would get a share of the profits for every DVD player ordered from his store. It looked like it wouldn't be long before he could earn back the money he spent on the DVD player.

In a certain island country, Matsushita Aota knocked on the door of an office with a document in his hand and said respectfully to the person sitting at the back of the office: "Mr. Yamamoto, this is the result of the latest research."

Yamamoto, who was sitting on a chair, took the document and started reading it. After finishing reading it, he threw it on the table with a "bang" and said angrily: "This is the result of your research. You tell me it failed again? Failure is not what I need."

Matsushita Aota was scolded by him and lowered his head to apologize repeatedly: "Yes, Yamamoto-kun, it's our fault."

Yamamoto lost his temper for a moment, then calmed down again. "Tell them to speed up their research. I need a finished product that is more perfect than a video camera."

Matsushita Aota nodded: "Yes."

"go out."

"Yes." Matsushita Aota was just about to go out, but when he thought of the message sent back by his subordinates, he couldn't help but look up at Yamamoto-kun.

Yamamoto received his gaze and narrowed his eyes: "Matsushita, do you have anything else to say?"

Matsushita Qingtian thought for a moment and then said, "Yes, Yamamoto-kun, there is news recently that a company in China has developed an electronic product that is better than a video recorder."

"Hahaha, are you kidding me, Matsushita?" Yamamoto laughed wildly, his face showing his undisguised mockery of China. "You actually told me that China has developed this kind of product. Did you come to work without a brain today? How could China, a bunch of country bumpkins, develop such a high-tech product?"

Matsushita Qingtian also didn't believe that China had this ability, and couldn't help but blush and apologize: "Yamamoto-kun, I was ignorant."

"go out."

"Yes." Matsushita Aota bent over and stepped back.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Yamamoto called him again, knocking his hands on the table, and spoke after a while: "Although I don't believe that China has this ability, there is an old saying in their country, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred victories.' So you should send someone to continue to pay attention to the news in this regard."

"Yes." Although Matsushita Aota didn't know why Yamamoto suddenly changed his mind, he still agreed.

＊

At noon the next day in Shenzhen, the man was still thinking about the DVD player commercial he had seen a few days ago. While eating lunch, he heard his wife say, "Have you received the news? I heard that there is a free movie viewing event held by the government in the downtown square."

My daughter, who was sitting next to me, raised her hand happily and said, "Really, Mom? It's free. Let's go over there tonight. It's crowded and lively."

The woman nodded. She had been planning to go over tonight to have a look. Normally, there were very few entertainment activities there. When she heard that the government was holding a free movie screening event, everyone in the community who knew about it planned to go over and have a look. Besides, there was no need to buy a ticket to watch the movies. Anyone who didn't take advantage of this would be a fool.

At this moment, the man next to me asked, "What kind of movie-watching event? Playing movies on a VCR?"

The woman looked at her husband strangely. Usually, Lao Zhu would not care about these activities, but she still said, "I heard that it's not. It seems to be the advertisement that is often broadcast on TV recently. That something..."

Before she could finish, the man took the lead and asked, "DVD player?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, it's the DVD player."

After saying that, the man continued, "Then I'll go with you guys to take a look."

The woman looked at him in surprise. Has Old Zhu changed his personality? He actually joined them to join in the fun.

The daughter beside him clapped her hands happily: "Okay, Dad will come too, it will be lively with so many people. Dad, can you buy me some delicious food tonight? I want to eat..."

"Can."

The woman glared at the father and daughter unhappily and said, "Just get used to her."

＊

In the evening, after Song Shu and her friends had lunch, they went downstairs to the square. Their hotel was not far from the square and they arrived there in a few minutes.

Song Shu thought they had arrived early, but when they arrived, a large crowd of people had already gathered in the square.

The government sent people to place rows of chairs in the square. There seemed to be more than a thousand chairs, but this was far from enough. Every chair was occupied.

Those who failed to grab a chair went back home and brought chairs over if they lived nearby, while those who lived far away could only stand aside or sit on the flowerbed nearby, and some even sat directly on the floor.

There were police officers in uniform patrolling nearby to maintain order, so although there was a lot of noise, no conflict occurred.

Song Shu was surprised. She didn't expect there would be so many people. She couldn't help but pull Chen Zonghao's sleeve and was happy for him: "There are so many people."

The more people are attracted to watch, the more people will be converted into his consumers.

Chen Zonghao curled his lips when he saw this, and it would be a lie to say he was unhappy.

Just as they were standing here, Liu Tiezhu spotted them with his sharp eyes. He was the person in charge of the company today, so he was also here to ensure the complete implementation of the plan.

Seeing the boss and his wife coming over, he said, "Boss, Madam, I didn't expect you to come. We have reserved a few seats in front. I'll take you there."

Song Shu looked at Chen Zonghao and waited for his decision. Chen Zonghao took her hand and said to Liu Tiezhu, "Please take us there."

Liu Tiezhu waved his hands in surprise, "No trouble."

Song Shu and the other two followed Liu Tiezhu inside and sat in the first row. After sitting down, Chen Zonghao let Liu Tiezhu go about his own business.

Song Shu looked around curiously. There were so many people. She couldn't help but turn her head and whisper to Chen Zonghao, "I've never watched a movie with so many people before."

Chen Zonghao looked down at her, saw the excited expression on her face, and nodded, "Well, I haven't tried it either."

The two of them had been sitting there for only a few minutes when a microphone sounded from the stage. Song Shu looked up and found it was Liu Tiezhu.

Song Shu had heard of Liu Tiezhu from A-po. Seeing him standing on the stage and hosting the event with such ease and grace, she didn't expect that he was a rural-born person with a low level of education.

The voice on the stage was clear and without any accent. It was obvious that Liu Tiezhu had worked hard to practice Mandarin: "Hello everyone, welcome to watch our movie screening event today. This time, the movie will be played on the DVD player independently developed by our company. Our DVD player only needs one disc to play a movie, and the playback quality reaches 720P... Finally, I would like to thank the Shenzhen Municipal Government for its strong support. Then we will watch the movie next."

Liu Tiezhu didn't waste much time on the stage, because no matter how much he boasted, consumers would not buy your product if they didn't see the results, so he just briefly introduced the functions of the DVD player and then asked people to play the movie.

The movie being shown was a very popular martial arts movie in Hong Kong. This kind of movie can arouse everyone's interest in watching movies.

Song Shu was also enjoying the movie while sitting in the audience. When the movie reached the exciting fighting scenes, there were enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

After watching the movie, everyone was still not satisfied. Only then did they realize that the movie was not played with a videotape change in the middle, and the picture quality was very clear.

After realizing this, everyone started discussing with the people around them, "The movie didn't stop just now, right? It's just like what that person said just now."

"And the picture quality is very clear. Normally when I watch it on videotape, it's all blurry."

"This DVD player looks very useful. I can buy it and watch as many movies as I want."

“I don’t know how much.”

…

Song Shu listened to the discussions around her, her lips curled up, and she looked at Chen Zonghao happily: "It works, it seems that everyone is very interested in your DVD player, you are really amazing, the DVD player will definitely sell well."

Chen Zonghao also curled his lips, "I'll give you good luck."

＊

The reaction of the audience in other cities was the same as that in Shenzhen. Everyone who watched the movie was extremely curious about the DVD player. Some of them asked the staff anxiously after watching the movie, "How much is one of these DVD players?"

When I heard that although the price is a bit high, a family can afford it if they grit their teeth, and then I heard that if I order tonight, I will get two extra CDs, I was even more tempted. So if I buy tonight, I will get seven CDs, while normally I only get five.

Therefore, many people placed orders directly. Because people would not go out with money late at night, many people just registered to buy and then paid tomorrow.

There were also a small number of people who brought money with them. Old Zhu brought money with him, and when he went out with his wife and daughter, he somehow put the money in his pocket.

So when the wife heard him talking about taking the money to buy a DVD player, she was very surprised. She thought he was talking about placing an order, but she didn't know that the man was talking about moving it home tonight. When the man showed her the money he brought, the woman was speechless, but she was also very tempted by the DVD player, so she didn't refuse and decided, "Okay, let's go buy it now."

Looking at the man walking in front happily with a DVD player in his arms, the woman shook her head in amusement. She didn't expect that Lao Zhu would show his joy sometimes.

That night, the family of three watched three movies in one go on the DVD player and went to bed when it was almost dawn. In the morning, the couple had to get up and go to work despite their sleepiness. This was all the fault of their own doing last night.

Early in the morning, as soon as the mall opened, the crowd waiting at the door swarmed in, running towards the electrical appliances with a clear purpose, "Waiter, do you have DVD players for sale? Give me one."

"I got here first, give it to me first."

The waiter looked at the crowd before him. He had never seen such a big crowd before. Fortunately, his usual service instinct kicked in. He took a breath and shouted, "Everyone, don't worry. Line up one by one. The DVD player has..."

This scene happened in major shopping malls in mainland China and Hong Kong. Overnight, everyone rushed to buy DVD players, thanks to the movie-watching event last night. Even those who did not go to see the movie last night could hear people around them discussing the DVD player.

Video stores even played movies all day long, attracting people who usually came to rent DVDs. More and more people knew about DVD players.

The first thing people say when they meet is: "Do you have a DVD player at home?"

"Come on, my family has a DVD player. Let's go to my house and watch the movie that we wanted to watch before."

＊

Hong Kong, the movie viewing event held in Victoria Park last night was said to be organized by the Xu family, and in order to attract many people, they also invited several popular stars in Hong Kong to attend. Those stars also attended out of respect after receiving the boss's reminder.

Recently, the advertisements for this DVD player have been everywhere in Hong Kong. The Xu family has spent a lot of money to promote it. It has been broadcast on various TV stations every day, and there are big promotional pictures on buses.

People all over Hong Kong can see this DVD advertisement whether they are at home or outside, and the slogan "DVD, your home theater" has become deeply rooted in people's hearts like a virus.

Therefore, the movie viewing event that night attracted a lot of people, and Hong Kong's wealthy and famous people also sent people to watch and inquire about the news.

Although these advertisements are exaggerated, these capitalists know best how much water these advertisements have, so they don't really believe in the advertisements in their hearts.

More importantly, they don't want to believe that the old fox from the Xu family got lucky and made the right investment when he said he would invest in the technology industry, while some of them fell into many traps and lost a lot of money. The things they invested in were not developed at all, and they didn't even see a shadow of it, and all their money was wasted.

However, after receiving the information collected by their subordinates, they could only sigh deeply. Damn it, Old Xu was really unlucky.

Thinking about the last time he attended the banquet, he acted like a pig trying to eat a tiger. Originally, they were laughing at him, but they didn't know that the old guy was secretly watching their laughter. They wanted to jump up and beat him up.

"Hong Kong is about to change."

Those who have been in the business world for many years can see the current situation clearly. This DVD player that has suddenly appeared will definitely bring about a new wave, and whoever owns it will own not only the small market of Hong Kong, but the huge global market.

How could they not be jealous? Someone hesitated for a moment and said, "Go check out this Washington Technology Company."

＊

The next day, the paparazzi who had attended the movie viewing event the previous night had heard that many celebrities had been there, so they wanted to see what kind of event was so lively and to catch some big news.

However, there was no big news about celebrities, but the news related to economy and electronic technology was a hot topic. Some sensitive reporters could already imagine the big changes that the emergence of this DVD player would bring about, and the big changes to the pattern of Hong Kong.

So, the next morning, when people woke up and checked the news, they found that it was all about the DVD player.

DVD player, the birth of a new home theater

"DVD player: Helping Hong Kong escape the tail of the "Four Little Dragons" in technology"

"The sudden emergence of Huasheng Electronic Technology has created a new billionaire!"

"The connection between Huasheng Technology and the Xu family, or a cover company of Xu Changlong"

…

Every front-page headline was about the DVD player, the registered company Huasheng Technology behind it, and the role played by Xu Changlong. In an instant, all eyes in Hong Kong were focused here.

Reporters were waiting for reports from Washington Technology Company and Xu's company, and Xu Changlong's phone was flooded with calls, with his usual partners and rivals sending greetings.

After answering all the phone calls, Xu Changlong leaned back in his chair and took a breath. Thinking of Chen Zonghao who is now in mainland China, he suddenly envied him. At least he doesn't have to deal with all this chaos now.

Meanwhile, Song Shu and Chen Zonghao in Hong Kong had just passed by the factory and didn't know that as busy as Hong Kong was, mainland China was also busy. It was just that everyone was busy scrambling to get the DVD players and didn't have time to care which company produced them, so it was relatively quiet here.
