Chapter 377 Night Banquet at the Government House
Author: Shuidong Yeyu
It took about fifteen minutes for Chen Zhiwen to talk about Super Mario in his memory, including the treasures outside the wall along the game character's route, such as flowers, mushrooms, some monsters on the road, various pipes, cliffs, etc.
That type of game is much more complicated than the previous ones. It can be said that it has officially entered the threshold of electronic games. In his previous life, Chen Zhiwen naturally played it when he was a child. It has been a long time, and he doesn't remember many, so he knows what categories there are.
Things, but how to design routes, treasures, and monsters can depend on your own engineers.
"Mr. Yokoi, what do I think? Is that game difficult to design?" Chen Zhiwen looked at the person who never shut up. This person is one of the most important figures in the history of future game development-Yokoi Gunpei.
.
Although I am innately aware of various classic games in history, that kind of game was created by some talented and hard-working people in history. The ability of those people, even if history changes, will not be the same.
Probability will create other games, thus becoming Midea's strongest competitive leg.
Of course, Chen Zhiwen doesn’t know who created various classic games, but Gunpei Yokoi is the most famous. It can be said that the entire Nintendo has become a game giant in later generations because of him. Even in the 1990s,
When Gunpei Yokoi died in a car accident, it caused Nintendo's stock price to plummet.
As early as more than two years ago, Chen Zhiwen arranged for people to go to Yueben to find the gaming genius and wanted to lure him to Midea. However, the guy seemed reluctant to leave Nintendo. In that company, he had already made some achievements.
Chen Zhiwen directly offered him an annual salary of 500,000 US dollars, a luxury house in Tokyo and Hong Kong, and round-trip air tickets to Hong Kong every week in the future, so he was hired.
The recruitment of Gunpei Yokoi not only eliminated a very strong competitor, but he himself was also very successful. During his years at Midea, he also developed several games. Although not as good as [Tank Battle], they are still small.
As a result, the game cards have been sold in the millions, earning the company tens of millions of dollars in profit, which can afford its salary. At the same time, it has given Midea Red Machine more game content.
"The difficulty of the game is very high, and the horizontal axis game will definitely require a lot of external memory space and a stronger computing chip. The specific chip to choose can only be decided during the design and testing process."
Yokoi Gunpei thought for a while and said, after staying in Hong Kong for 2 years, he also learned Cantonese.
"Okay, then I will be responsible for that project. I will first design a Jiaowang. After it is put into the market, we will optimize it based on feedback and then design the card for the game console." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, although he is not very technical.
, but we also know that the software design in the game is also very important. If the code is well written, can it reduce the consumption requirements, algorithm requirements and even hardware requirements.
"Okay, thank you, President Chen, for giving him the opportunity." Yokoi Gunpei stood up and bowed and said, Midea's games, every one of them is a hit, but being able to participate in the design of such a game is wrong with theirs.
For a gamer, it is also an honor.
"OK, then Xian Muyang decided to come east. Except for the personal computer, the entire company's resources need to support that project. Ask for funds, ask for funds, and ask for people to help." Chen Zhiwen said to others.
Personal computers are not very profitable now, but their potential in the future is immeasurable, and they will become a pillar industry for Midea in the future. Therefore, the priority is overriding everything else.
The second requirement is naturally a hit game. Not only can it earn huge profits, but it can also increase Midea's popularity in the global electronics industry and electronics market customers. The funds and reputation gained will not only benefit Midea's other industries.
Great help, including computer and home appliance business.
Mario is the most influential game in human history. Chen Zhiwen has long been concerned that the requirements for chips and a series of semiconductors for such a game are much higher than those of previous single-interface games, even if they are beautiful.
It can't be developed, and the chips on the market simply don't support games with such intense demands.
It was not until recently that Intel released the latest 16-bit chip 80286 that it became possible to develop Mario. Therefore, Chen Zhiwen began to formally make that request, and related to various character copyrights, patents, etc., last year, Chen Zhiwen already
Arranged for people to register globally.
Just wait until the game is developed, and it will be different from what Chen Zhiwen remembers, and the playability will be almost the same. By then, Midea will once again shock all the other game companies.
When each company develops to a certain scale and can develop independently according to Chen Zhiwen's direction, and has a professional financial review team in charge of the headquarters office to check and balance, his boss no longer needs to be too involved, but needs to be responsible.
Major events and strategic investments are enough.
At the same time, you also need to be responsible for some major external matters, such as the relationship with the government.
In August and June, the Hong Kong Governor's Government sent out an invitation letter to Hong Kong's political and business celebrities, inviting everyone to attend a charity gala held by the Hong Kong government in August and October. The purpose of charity is to help people in Hong Kong.
of Vietnamese refugees.
Chen Zhiwen was wrong about the group of Vietnamese who would cause chaos, and they had no interest in helping at all. Let’s not talk about foreign countries, let alone Hong Kong. In fact, there are many people who have a very bad confinement life, and they can even say that they do not starve to death.
Chen Zhiwen's charity foundation in Hong Kong spends HK$100 million on charity every year. This can not only avoid taxes to a certain extent, but also establish the image of the entire group. At the same time, those funds are invested in Chinese people in Hong Kong. As for
Ghost guys (there are also poor British people in Hong Kong), Indians, Vietnamese, other Southeast Asians, etc., don't even think about getting a penny.
But if it is an invitation from the Hong Kong Governor's Government, all the big businessmen in Hong Kong will go. If it is an ordinary businessman, forget it if you don't go. But Chen Zhiwen is so famous that if you don't go, it will be a bit disrespectful. Chen Zhiwen doesn't think it will be a shame to go.
Just a face is enough, but in fact it is not the right time for many businessmen in Hong Kong to gather together. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to gather so many people.
Moreover, according to the analysis of the public relations manager, Chen Zhiwen and others also believed that the so-called Vietnamese refugees at that banquet were not a superficial problem, but were actually preparing for Iron Lady Thatcher’s visit to China next month.
.
In the coming months, the Iron Lady Thatcher will visit Yanjing. Just like the company's business negotiations, the East Asian officials on both sides have actually discussed it many times.
The British Empire just recently won the Falklands War in South America, which once again allowed the world to see the strength of that declining empire. Many other small countries were forced to stop their original thoughts, but what about foreign countries that even had naval forces?
A small country with few ships.
The attitude towards this issue is naturally tough. After all, whether the current international situation is peaceful first, and whether force should not be used unless it is a last resort, the two sides can negotiate in the fields of public opinion, economy, and diplomacy. On the other hand, in Hong Kong, each side
Influential people on both sides are also people who both parties need to win over.
In the past six months, people from Xinhua News Agency have visited countless celebrities and wealthy people in Hong Kong, including Chen Zhiwen. The Hong Kong government is also the same. They have sent people to visit many times on the pretext of not maintaining the current eastbound economy of Hong Kong, but on the surface
They were giving hints secretly.
August 10, 1982.
It rained heavily all over Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong Government House was no less lively. Many police officers were on duty outside to protect the safety of people outside the Government House, because all the celebrities and elites in Hong Kong gathered there.
It can be said that except for a few, a group of people who control the entire Hong Kong are all there.
Ordinary luxury cars entered the Hong Kong Government House after being inspected at the door. There are many Rolls-Royces and Bentleys in Hong Kong, and most people have them. But if you come to the government department tomorrow, everyone will choose to keep a low profile.
An ordinary Mercedes-Benz (Mercedes-Benz) is enough.
When Chen Zhiwen arrived, there were already many people at the banquet. At a glance, there was a Chinese group on the left, including Li Jiacheng, Pao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, Lee Shau Kee, Zheng Yutong, etc., and a British ghost group on the right.
Niubijian and Bao Fuda from Yihe, Shi Huaiya from Taikoo, Shen Bi from HSBC, etc. There are also a few Chinese among them, and they seem to be more gregarious with Gui Lao.
Chen Zhiwen's arrival made everyone focus on him, and it was the same with Gui Lao. Chen Zhiwen ignored them and walked to the left where the Chinese group was.
"Sheng Chen, long time no see." Bao Yugang, who had a good relationship with Chen Zhiwen, walked over with a smile.
"No, Mr. Bao, long time no see. He has been in Hong Kong. Did you hear that I have been traveling around the world recently?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"No, when old Dong passed away, he came back. At other times, he was basically overseas. I also know that the shipping market has been abnormal recently, and he was in a hurry to deal with many ships.
Just." Bao Yugang sighed.
"That's good. Mr. Bao, I have obtained China Electric Power, so I basically don't have to worry too much about the shipping market." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
As early as a few years ago, as the world's number one person in the shipping industry, Bao Yugang was keenly aware that big problems would soon arise in the shipping market, because judging from the orders of global shipyards that year and in the next few years, the three
After 2020, a large number of ships will enter the East China Sea, which will inevitably lead to oversupply in the global shipping market, and this will become increasingly serious.
But when Bao Yugang discovered the problem, it was the time when the shipping market was at its peak. Many ships could recoup their losses in two or three years, and the remaining ones would make a pure profit. All shipping companies were desperately trying to make orders from the East, let alone shipyards.
After receiving the order, few people thought about what would happen a few years later.
Then there was the incident of shipping king Pao Yukang abandoning his ship and landing. Although Wharf was acquired by Chen Zhiwen in that era, Pao Yugang did acquire China Electric Power. The scale and market value of the ship were not lower than those of China Power.
How much is the Wharf? In that process, Bao Yugang also took the opportunity to sell a large number of ships and reduce his shipping scale.
"It's not that simple. If he has a lot of legs, it can't be completely emptied out easily. The scale of the port is smaller. With his connections and connections, it will be no problem to maintain the operation. It can be said that there will be less losses.
." Bao Yugang said with a smile.
"That's not bad. When the shipping market recovers, Mr. Bao can become a shipping king again." Chen Zhiwen said.
"It is estimated that he will not be able to recover easily from the problems that occurred in the shipping market that time." Bao Yugang said: "And he is also old. After the death of old Dong, he was worried that he would be the same. The only thing he can do now is
Do you want to be like him and bring huge debts to your family after your death?"
"That's not inevitable. There are always risks in doing business. If Mr. Bao feels that his health is not good, he can go to Europe and the United States for a comprehensive physical examination. Except for radiation that is harmful to the body, other things can be done regularly.
Check to see if this is not your own responsibility or your family's responsibility," Chen Zhiwen said.
It seems that Pao Yugang, who lived in history, would have been in the advanced stage of cancer when he was discovered. Facing such a serious illness, even the richest people 50 years later would run away from death, such as Steve Jobs.
But if you regularly check your body, even if the current technology is not as good as the future, there is a high probability that the problem will be discovered at an early stage. Then there is the advantage of money. If you find it early, you will have money.
Most terminal illnesses are not treatable.
"He has also considered what I said, but his business is too far gone," Bao Yugang said.
"There is no need to go to the hospital again." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said: "How about they build a high-end hospital in Hong Kong, or at least, a high-end physical examination hospital? That way, they will not have to go to Yueben or
European and American inspection?”
"That's not bad. He'll invest a little." Bao Yugang agreed to Donglai without even thinking about it. How much could he ask for for a hospital? The two of them didn't care.
"Okay, they can build one together. In that way, it will be convenient for them, and many people in Hong Kong will also have security. The market should not be small." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, if it is a small investment, it will not be economic benefits, otherwise it will be economic benefits.
Whether it is healthy or not, it is much more valuable than economics.
Afterwards, after a moment of communication with other wealthy Chinese people in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Governor Youde made his official appearance.
After standing on the podium, Youde gave a very wonderful speech. The main content was naturally that under the leadership of the British Empire, Hong Kong changed from a small fishing village to a prosperous international metropolis. In the future, Britain
Otherwise, I will maintain the same attitude, blah blah blah, etc.
Chen Zhiwen from Taitung naturally listened lazily. As a window to the outside world and the international community, how can Hong Kong develop?
After the speech, Youde first went to the ghost guy's side, and then came to the Chinese group. The first target was naturally Chen Zhiwen.
Chapter completed!
