In January and July, Hong Kong's stock market became calm, and Hengyi Group's stock was officially included as a member of the Hang Seng Index.

On that day, Chen Zhiwen also came to the new headquarters of Hengyi Group, which is also located on the 22nd floor of Yeyi in Admiralty. Hengyi originally wanted to buy that building, but the current office building prices are very high, and the owners are not willing at all.

For sale, I firmly believe that the price will rise in the future. In the past, I could rent Donglai. After half a year of renovation, the entire Hengyi Real Estate Group also moved in.

"The floors there are too short for me," Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"Very good, 20 or so floors are actually the norm for buildings in Hong Kong. Those with 40 or 50 floors are basically not built in recent years." Chen Zhiwen said with a shrug.

"If I hadn't said many times that there would be problems with Hong Kong's real estate, he would have bought it long ago. It's good that I reminded him that there are indeed problems in the current real estate market." Chen Tianfu said with a sigh.

"The office market is expected to be strong, but it is expected to be fast, and there will be a long-term sluggish period after Donglai." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Although the real estate crisis broke out in September 1982, the early symptoms of that crisis were completely different from the previous one.

In 1973, before the crisis broke out, Hong Kong's land prices and stock prices were very strong, and a few people discovered the Cocoa crisis. But that time, as early as the eastern half of last year, there were already abnormal signs.

For example, if HSBC begins to shrink its real estate business, the residential vacancy rate begins to increase, the transaction price of industrial real estate and gold prices are also falling, and the commercial prices in Hong Kong are very strong, then the fundamental reason is whether international capital is passing through Hong Kong to communicate with other places.

Cooperation, although the current transaction amount is not high, will it have a very strong effect if all of it is swallowed up by Hong Kong?

"The projects he is involved in are basically short-term projects. If this is not the case, the company's business will decrease sharply in the second half of the year, and I am afraid the stock market will not look good." Chen Tianfu said with some worry.

"There is nothing I can do about it. Even if I continue to develop real estate projects, it will not be as easy as before to sell it. It will be easy to get hit in the leg." Chen Zhiwen said that when real estate prices do not fluctuate much, many people will wait and see.

, even property speculators will stop coming because they already have a lot of houses in their possession and cannot sell them.

Is this the case for the sluggish period of real estate? If some large real estate companies had not been promoting market speculation, it is estimated that land prices would collapse earlier.

"So he is preparing to invest in Shenhai City on a large scale. I also know that he has two hotels there. People in Shenhai City sent him a message, saying that they hope he can build office buildings on a large scale. Their demand for office buildings is increasing.

The higher it is, what do I think?" Chen Tianfu asked.

"That's no problem. Since you have enough funds, let's give it a try. Shenhai is also attracting a lot of foreign investment. It's normal for the demand for office buildings to be high." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Throughout foreign countries, real estate development is basically prohibited, and there are hotel projects. Because foreign trade is helpful, and there is real demand abroad, many Hong Kong real estate giants’ investment projects abroad are not hotels.

, everything else is basically gone. If you want to build an office building or a community, it is simply not feasible.

Shenhai City is different in Shenhai City, where reforms are at the forefront and many policies are not decided by Shenhai City itself. As early as the eastern half of 1979, Shenhai City began to develop real estate communities together with Hong Kong real estate developers and sell those communities to Hong Kong people, or

For Hong Kong people’s relatives abroad, we offer promotions and even provide household registration to help Hong Kong people bring their relatives overseas.

Hong Kong real estate developers are eager to invest in projects that can make quick profits in communities. However, when it comes to office buildings, which are long-term projects, they are less willing to invest. After all, the Hong Kong real estate market was also rising at a high speed at that time.

However, Shenhai City itself does not have enough funds and there is a shortage of office buildings, which is not normal.

"Well, he will mobilize funds to build office buildings in Shenhai City and then rent them out. If Shenhai City can develop to 1/3 of the current size of Hong Kong, then he will make a lot of money." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"Try to choose a better location in Shenhai City and build office buildings instead of building skyscrapers. About 20 floors is enough." Chen Zhiwen smiled and didn't say much more. Is the future of Shenhai City not low at all?

In Hong Kong, housing prices are not as good as they are.

Now Ruming, from the original financing, the market and the current real estate cash-out, the cash assets in Hengyi Leg are estimated to be 2 to 3 billion. If only half of those funds are used to go to Shenhai City, I don’t know how many office buildings can be built.

, after all, compared to Hong Kong, where office buildings, even in the city center, land prices are basically 0, and the only cost is the construction cost.

"Of course, the land there is cheap, so you will lose money by building high-rise buildings." Chen Tianfu asked again: "Can I please invest together? Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf in Qidong have a lot of spare funds recently, right?"

"No need, the current Shenhai City does not need so much funds. When Shenhai City becomes larger in the future, he has also decided on the investment direction of their funds." Chen Zhiwen said. It is certainly not a loss to go to Shenhai City now.

But Shenhai is currently a slightly larger city. If too much money is invested in the real estate sector, it will exceed its affordability. If there are too many vacancies in the future, it will very likely cause a bubble burst like the one in Hong Kong.

Not so good.

"Well, many of our properties in Qidong are better than real estate, so there is no need to spend too much time on them." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"Just leave it to someone to manage it. On his side, just confirm the investment in Dongda University." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. At first, he valued real estate, but he asked if he could rely on the funds there to develop other real industries due to demand. Such as Ming, enter

In the 1980s, the electronics industry would become its future highlight.

He will fight for the good opportunities in Hong Kong. The real estate market will always be the largest market in the human economy. He will not give up. The building in Central will earn more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in the future. How many large enterprises will be there?

He can't earn that much in a year, but with enough real estate, he has a super cash cow behind him, which is enough to support the future expansion of major industries in the east of his banner and compete with international giants.

For example, several real estate companies in Mingqidong have matured operations, and they will only need his guidance in the future. For example, whether the Hong Kong real estate market was a bull market in 1984-97, and whether the local market was a bull market in 1982-91, it will be suitable after 1984.

Large-scale investment abroad, etc., once the development direction is established, then professional managers will naturally know what to do.

On January 20, Hong Kong also experienced a rare major cooling, and the cold wave from Siberia rushed directly to the vicinity of Eastern Guangdong Province.

Because of the cold weather, winter clothes in Hong Kong were suddenly out of stock. Fortunately, Galaxy Trading had several large warehouses in Hong Kong, which contained down jackets purchased from other places. Chen Zhiwen ordered the warehouses to be opened directly, and he actually made a small profit.

Although the weather is a bit cold, Chen Zhiwen's heart is very hot because Midea's first personal computer has been ready for the market after several optimizations.

Early in the morning, Chen Zhiwen rushed to Midea Industrial City in Yuen Long, where there was a large laboratory where hundreds of Midea-1 computers were being tested.

"It's really hot in there." Chen Zhiwen walked into the laboratory and immediately felt that it was much hotter than outside. If the air-conditioning temperature of the corridor outside was normal, and if it wasn't cold, it would be hot there.

"All the computers there are running at high power, so the temperature is a bit high, which is perfect for testing the status of computers in high-temperature environments." Lei Shengli explained with a smile.

"That mouse is good." Chen Zhiwen came to a computer and touched the arc-shaped mouse. As early as when he was preparing to develop the computer, Chen Zhiwen begged the team to develop a different shape of the mouse, and they must ask for a simulation of human legs.

The shape gives the best leg feeling. Now I’m trying it, it’s really good.

"They have registered a large number of mouse shape patents around the world. No matter which one, they are much better than the mice currently on the market. After they are launched on the market, many people will definitely like them," Lei Shengli said with a smile.

.

"Well, that can be considered an advantage. In addition to their split design, it can also solve the heat dissipation problem very well, although it will not last for a long time." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

In that era when personal computers had just begun to rise, all companies focused on the performance of the computer, what it could do, or the software. However, the appearance of the computer basically remained the same type, and the only consideration was heat dissipation.

Starting from Pingcheng and then to Hewlett-Packard, Texas Instruments, and IBM, all computers are integrated, that is, the computer is on the outside and the host is on the outside, and the two are integrated.

The first-generation computer developed by Chen Zhiwen is not a split type in the future. The host and screen are separated, so that the heat dissipation problem can be well solved. I want to know that if the current all-in-one computer is turned on for a long time, the keyboard will not work.

It doesn't matter if it's hot or not, as local people are generally used to it. If it's hot, turn up the air conditioner. If it's not possible, use an electric fan to blow it in the wrong direction.

Although the weight of the computer is not the same, since it is not one-piece, it is much easier to carry. In terms of advantages, the split type is much stronger.

Just like a mouse, even if a patent is registered, people can bypass it. There is no perfect patent monopoly on this thing, but it can have an advantage for one or two years. The only one that can make long-term profits is

The middle button of the mouse is a unique patent. People may not need the middle button of the mouse now, but when computers become more powerful, Midea will be able to collect some patent fees.

There is a big-ass computer on the side of the table, and the host computer is on the east side of the table. If you don't bend down, you can't see it. Chen Zhiwen controls the mouse and controls the computer. There is currently no image management system, and many require entering dos commands to control it.

, which basically excludes a large number of non-professional players.

Chen Zhiwen naturally knows the problem. It is too complicated to develop an operating system. Midea currently does not have the personnel reserves. It took more than a year to develop a new computer. The current computer market does not allow any further delay.

If the operating system is very sensitive, it will be suppressed once it succeeds. In the 1980s, a Japanese company was preparing to launch its own system, but was quickly suppressed. If Midea did the same thing, the operating system would be suppressed.

It's not a big deal, but other industries are likely to be suppressed as well, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Yes, the operating system does not have it, but there are some auxiliary methods. For example, there will be a dot in the east left corner of the screen. Just click it with the mouse, and several options will pop up, including games, word text editing, and

Excel table editing, etc., can be considered the most basic version of shortcuts.

Games naturally include games such as Minesweeper, Solitaire, Magic Blocks, Snake, etc. These are Midea's strengths, and naturally we need to use them as bait to guide consumers. After all, except for company computers, most people just buy a computer and play it.

Computer games will also be one of the main battlefields of Midea's game department in the future. It has not officially started yet, which means it will give your own computer a benefit.

Word and Excel are very basic versions of mosquito editing and table editing. These two softwares are what Chen Zhiwen has been paying attention to. The versions currently on sale basically include the most basic editing functions for future generations. It will be very difficult for ordinary clerks to use them.

it works.

Although those functions are very imperfect, they have registered global patents and will be slowly optimized according to user needs in the future. Once you have established a firm foothold on that track, you can realize your dream of making money while lying down.

Lei Shengli went on to say: "Their computers are here and Wubi software has been installed. Whether it is traditional Chinese or simplified Chinese characters, you can input them. There are probably some imperfections in Bu Nong Keke."

"It would be nice to have the Meiji system. That input method will be made public for free when Midea launches its computer, and everyone can use it." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

A problem currently plaguing China is that when Western characters can be easily input into a computer, Chinese characters cannot be input. Is this equivalent to decoupling from the world? Many people have also thought of solutions and succeeded, but the efficiency is too low.

Yes, the input speed is very slow. Keke can write seven or eight words in one minute.

Therefore, Chen Zhiwen also asked for the development of Wubi. As a person in the 21st century, he does not know Wubi. Otherwise, according to the basic rules of Wubi, the development team can start from scratch and develop it.

Cocoa is completely different from what it used to be in history. It's also a system. Things like input methods are actually a matter of getting used to it. Once you get used to it, even if there is a better one later, it will be difficult to change it.

With this solution, is it possible to make some money from it? Is it true that Chen Zhiwen decided to do it for free? One of them does not care about the small amount of money, and the second one is to strive for a good reputation. There is no need to ask for any money.

earn.

Before the emergence of the Zhike Pinyin input method, Wubi was the absolute king.

"Okay." Lei Shengli nodded and said.
