As the first commercial product of TFT and STN, TV Wactch sold for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in Neon, but it sold more in North America.

Because of the 007 bonus, the colored model sold for more than 600,000 yuan by the end of the year, and the low-end black and red model also sold for more than 400,000 yuan.

According to previous profit calculations, one TFT has a monthly profit of 15,000 yuan, and one STN has a net income of approximately 8,000 yuan per month.

Combining the sales of Neon and Beimi, the LCD factory will earn 14.6 billion yuan per month next year from that business alone.

Looking at it alone, it doesn't seem to be much, and even among the entire Hongchuan Holding Group, it is not very eye-catching.

But as mentioned before, this is the first time that an LCD factory is profitable.

In the future, with the gradual popularization of various screen technologies, the profits will only start.

Regardless of whether it is a battery factory or an LCD factory, the future potential is good and it is worthy of Hongchuan Feng's increased investment.

"Continuing our cooperation with Northeastern University, in addition to industry, academia and research, we should also not forget to cultivate their own talents.

In addition, the development of nickel-cadmium batteries will stop there for the time being, and the focus of subsequent research will be on nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium batteries."

Whether the nickel-cadmium chewing gum battery is a transitional product, Hongchuan Feng's real goal is not the latter two.

If we get them done, we can at least guarantee Hongchuan Keyuan's market share for decades in the future.

"Please rest assured that they have already started those jobs. Next year Hongchuan Keyuan will recruit many students from several universities in the Northeast, and they will not be part of their talent pool."

Hongchuan Keyuan is now in charge of Mr. Miyari Shota. He is a graduate of Tokyo Polytechnic University and majors in materials science.

As for why he chose to go to the battery factory in Akita instead of waiting for bustling Tokyo, is it because he himself is not from Akita.

With such a relationship, Hongchuan Feng naturally handed over the heavy responsibility to him.

As long as there is not much difference in capabilities, he will still favor his fellow countrymen.

The so-called township party is not an interest group that is united step by step.

"Front-end research on clean energy sources can be started. Wind can be used, tides can be used, sun can be used, plants can be used, etc...

Regardless of Tohoku University or Akita University, they provide activity funds and the school is responsible for research projects.

Although theoretical results can be obtained now, they will always be useful one day in the future."

Those investments will not pay off in the short term, but Hongchuan Feng still wants to do it.

Because of them, Hongchuan Keyuan will be able to participate in the development of new sources in Akita and even the entire Northeast in the future.

When it comes to sustainable infrastructure, there is no need for large investment subsidies from the government.

Even if it has an influence, it is still worth the huge investment Hongchuan Maple has now.

Contrary to his instructions, Gong Ruizhuang Tai also remembered Dong Lai one by one.

This will roughly determine the future development plan of Hongchuan Keyuan. Of course, the main focus is on a plan with a general direction.

"As for the LCD factory..." Hongchuan Feng paused, "After all, TV Watch is not a consumer-grade product for the public, and its future potential is limited.

To truly maintain the stable development of LCD factories, it is necessary to develop other supply channels.

TFT is not mature for the time being, just keep the current rhythm.

However, STN already has the potential for large-scale commercial use, and all kinds of commercial electronic screens are not their potential customers.

I’d like to ask you to trouble Nakajima-san and Ishikawa-san to take care of that.”

"Minghong" Nakajima Heitaro and Ishikawa Mikito both nodded and accepted the order.

One of them is the person in charge of SIC, and the other is the person in charge of the LCD factory.

The current LCD is hung to the east of the SIC. If you want to open source and find more customers, they need to develop their own channels.

To sum up Donglai, although Hongchuan Keyuan and LCD factory have just made a profit, they are finally on the right track, and Hongchuan Feng will no longer need to pay extra attention in the future.

Unlike the two new clubs engaged in manufacturing outside the group, the profits of several sub-clubs east of Hongchuan Mutual Entertainment are relatively average.

For example, Monthly News, Daiei, and Tokuma Shoten. The first two of the three media publishing companies are losing money, but Tokuma Shoten is making a profit.

The reason why Hongchuan Maple was able to easily acquire them in the first place is related to its miserable operating conditions.

Bu Nao is good because its size is limited and it doesn't lose much money. The profit of Tokuma Bookstore can basically make up for the loss of the two stores.

In addition, the reorganization work of monthly news and major screenings has been ongoing, and the situation should be greatly improved next year.

To the east of Hongchuan Interactive Entertainment are two subsidiary companies, SAOND Records and Gaode Toys.

Unexpectedly, SAOND Records, which was just established next year, has already started to make a profit. The main reason is probably because of the cash cow of Seiko Matsuda.

Since she used chewing gum batteries to replace her from Sony's lap in half a year, she has released two more singles and one album in the past six months.

The total sales volume of the three CD records is close to 2 million, and the profit from that part is about 3 billion yuan per month.

It has to be said that the record industry makes money very quickly, and popular artists are indeed a cash cow for record companies.

Tsk, Hongchuan Feng is very satisfied with his woman's ability to attract money.

As for whether to reward her or not, let’s not talk about the big deal. I even gave her a little more from the record share, so I treated her as pocket money.

In addition to Seiko Matsuda, SAOND also signed several new people.

Narumi Yasuda, Yukiko Okada, etc., their debut songs are expected to be released next year.

We are also actively communicating with other artists about their record deals, even if a long-term deal doesn't lead to just releasing a few records.

With the current resources of Hongchuan Interactive Entertainment, it is basically a sure profit from releasing records.

And because it has media channels such as TV stations, newspapers, and publishing houses, SAOND is also very attractive to some artist agencies.

Is that another benefit brought by the resource exchange between Hongchuan Interactive Entertainment and Qidong? Some things must be looked at together to realize their value.

As for Gaode Toys, I have been asking for help in the past year.

Although some of the characters designed based on the comics from Tokugawa Shoten became famous, the ones that were popular were not.

Whether it depends on the game content from HAL, some peripherals developed by Amap are selling very well.

Pac-Man pillows, thunder and lightning models, double dragon legs, etc., took advantage of the popularity of the game and sold out a lot.

Donglai's profit for the whole year is more than one billion yuan per month. If it can't turn a loss into a profit, it will be successful.

Although the money is not much, it is better than Hongchuan Holdings adding money every year.

But if you want to talk about the real big money magnets in the east of Hongchuan Interactive Entertainment, you have to look at the HAL Research Institute.

Businesses such as hardware peripherals, computer games, home game consoles, and cassette games are in full bloom.

Hardware peripherals include traditional Chinese character reading and writing cards, trackballs, keyboards, leg handles, etc. They will bring HAL a profit of 20 billion yuan next year, nearly double that of last year.

What surprised Hongchuan Feng most was that computer games did not have a powerful delivery platform like FES.

But with the continuous release of nearly 20 software games throughout the year, will the profit of that part of the business next year be 300 million US dollars?

That’s right, 300 million U.S. dollars, 75 billion yuan per month!

To be honest, Hongchuan Feng was also surprised when he saw that number.

"Is the computer game market so hot now?" Hongchuan Feng took the report and looked at the fat classmate curiously.

"The main reason is that the price of personal computers has dropped significantly in previous years. Now computers have gradually become more popular and are slowly entering middle-class families."

In response to the changes in the market, Satoru Iwata also spent a lot of time doing research.

"Because of the computer craze, it also led to the popularity of computer games.

The ‘Golden Cross Game Creation Competition’ held next year received more than 500 entries, of which computer games accounted for 80%.

Among the 80%, more than 80 models were actually shortlisted, and HAL decided to release about 60 models.

Next year’s 20 games are part of the plan, and the number will continue to expand next year.”

It must be said that Hong Chuanfeng’s original idea brought HAL unimaginable wealth.

From the current perspective, the "Golden Cross Game Creation Contest" is undoubtedly a brilliant idea.

With such events, HAL's game library is instantly full. Although the quality varies, the success lies in the quantity.

Moreover, those released first by HAL are certainly not the ones with the best quality.

Using a monthly bonus of 10 million yuan in exchange for an operating profit of 300 million US dollars, that deal is really a bargain.

"It's not just them. Enix has released 13 games, and it is said that the profit is about 200 million US dollars."

Iwata Satoru told Hongkawa Kaede another piece of gossip outside the industry, and the latter raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

"It seems that the computer craze has indeed reached a certain scale. In addition to games, they can also do something in software.

In the next few years, the market in that area will grow at an alarming rate as computers become more popular."

"Hai!"

Hongchuan Kaede mistakenly thought that HAL's positioning was far more than just games. He also wanted software.

HAL's other major revenue source will be FES and its related game cartridges, which will be extremely popular next year.

Although FES is not produced by Hongchuan Electric, HAL will receive a commission for every unit sold.
