According to Suning's plan, future "Maybach" high-end luxury models will be manufactured in factories in Europe and Germany, while the Hong Kong car factory will follow the route of Japanese cars and rely on high quality and low price to win.
Therefore, Suning has already produced many famous Japanese car model artworks in later generations. The prepared strategy is to follow the Japanese path and leave the Japanese with no way to go.
So in terms of making money, Suning is actually more optimistic about Hong Kong's automobile factories, which may bring an unexpected surprise to itself.
After the car factory in Hong Kong starts production, Suning will first check the sales situation. If the sales volume explodes, Suning will consider customizing car parts in the United States and Germany, and then transport them to Hong Kong Island for assembly and sales.
In its own business territory, Su's Amity Shipping Company and Su's Sony Electronics are supporting its entire group. Su's Real Estate has not yet reached the time to exert its strength, so the automobile industry is really just a whim of Suning.
operate.
...
The time came in 1968. After more than three years of improvement and experimentation, the computers and mobile phones produced by Su's Sony were ready for the market, but Suning hesitated about the name of the product.
Suning thought of three names, Apple, Pineapple, or just Sony. Because Apple has not been created yet, Suning can definitely use it.
I also thought of a later joke, the United States has apples, and China has pineapples. Suning seems to have defeated Apple with pineapples. It can be regarded as a small dream come true.
In the end, Suning hesitated for a long time and decided to use the name Apple for the computer and Pineapple for the mobile phone, which perfectly solved all the problems.
Sony Sony used large-scale integrated circuit digital computer technology for the first time to manufacture the Apple Model 1 computer. Once it was put on the market, it set off a hurricane in the industry.
After all, the United States is still in the experimental stage of large-scale integrated circuit digital machines, and there is still a long way to go before they are actually put on the market.
Suddenly, the technology they regarded as top secret was actually used by an obscure company from the Eastern Hong Kong Island. The American company immediately suspected that the technology had been leaked.
When they bought an Apple 1 computer and took it apart to study it, they were collectively dumbfounded.
Su's Sony has completely used more advanced technology, and they all keep shouting in their hearts, doesn't Su's Sony always sell TVs well?
Why are you suddenly so awesome in the computer field?
This is the most cutting-edge technology in the world!
In fact, they have also thought about imitating, but Suning and Sony have applied for patent protection for a certain period of time all over the world, which has largely blocked their research and development path.
Of course, they haven't realized this yet, and they don't think that the path taken by Su Shisoni is the only one, so they slowly continue their own research.
Apple Computer shocked the world and soon received a large number of orders. Computer factories in Hong Kong were ramping up production every day.
Just when everyone was marveling at Su's Sony's blockbuster success, Su's Sony once again launched the first-generation mobile phone Pineapple 1, once again leading an era.
When Motorola, a company far away in the United States, heard the news about the launch of mobile phones, they were deeply skeptical at first. But when they bought several mobile phones in the United States and took them apart to check, they also became confused.
The Pineapple 1 mobile phone, which is similar to the big brother of Motorola, soon became a must-have for wealthy businessmen in various countries once it was put on the market.
If we were to say which company was the most prosperous in 1968, it would definitely be Sony Electronics, which launched two era-leading products in succession.
...
A large amount of wealth is gathered into one's own account every day, which makes other companies in Su's Group have a certain explosion. Take Su's Amity Shipping Company as an example. In 1968, they purchased thirty ships of 100,000 tons again.
Class-class oil tanker, the total tonnage of Su Shi Amity has been pushed to the throne of 1,600 tons, and Suning has truly become the world's shipping king.
Thanks to the tense situation in the Middle East, oil prices have remained high, so there is no shortage of orders for Suning's tankers.
The rapid development of Su's Amity Shipping Company made Bao Yugang and others who followed behind and developed in silence feel disappointed.
Now, not only are they receiving orders that Su's Amity doesn't like, but they want to buy new oil tankers. The orders from major shipyards have been fully booked by Su's Amity Shipping Company.
With a large amount of financial support, Su's Real Estate began to move forward. It was finally possible to build high-quality land under the Wharf, including the land south of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, where Harbor City would later be located. Suning wanted to build a larger than Harbor City.
shopping center.
In the past two years, "Maybach" under the Su Group has also occupied a place in the world's automobile field. Whether it is the "Maybach" luxury car field or the ordinary family car field, it has occupied its due market to a certain extent.
.
Looking at the Su Group's explosion across the board, Suning knew that all this depended on the cash cow of Su Group's Sony. Every day Apple computers and Pineapple mobile phones contributed a lot of wealth to the Su Group.
Suning knew that it would not be possible to hold the patents on computers and mobile phones forever. Soon after those capitals in the United States discovered that their research directions were blocked by Suning, they would soon take action against themselves.
In order to prepare for future dangers in advance, when Suning faced German companies such as Siemens and Infineon that came to ask for cooperation, they directly nodded and agreed to their cooperation requests.
The German side did not expect that Suning would give up such a huge technological advantage and agreed to jointly build a new company with them. They all lamented in their hearts that this was Suning's return to Germany.
In the new company established in Germany, Suning's Su Group also holds 20% of the shares, and the computers and mobile phones it produces still need to pay patent fees.
In addition, Sushi Sony and the German Semiconductor Company have established a cooperative research institute to continue to develop and research computers and mobile phones. Patented technologies can be shared with each other to a certain extent.
Germany's industrial base is very developed. When they obtained all the computer and mobile phone technology from Sony, they quickly produced Germany's own computers and mobile phones, and put them into the market for sale in the 1970s.
Seeing that Germany has cooperated with the Su Group means that Germany and the Su Group stand together, which makes the American oligarchs who have always wanted to attack the Su Group lose the courage and excuse to do so.
When their own experts discovered that the road to research and development had been blocked by the Su Group, they could only ask for a new research and development road, and also asked for a large amount of financial support again.
Of course, the American oligarchs are not happy to spend another huge sum of money, and then they think that Germany can cooperate with the Su Group, and their American companies can do the same.
Seeing American companies coming to seek cooperation, Suning also agreed to them, with the same shareholding and patent fees as the German companies.
Sometimes things are just so helpless, and Suning is unwilling to let go of such huge benefits, but without a strong motherland behind him to protect him, the so-called German nationality will look very ridiculous when faced with huge benefits.
Of course, Suning also thought about keeping the technology in its hands, waiting for the mainland to reform and open up, and then returning to the mainland to build factories. However, in this way, it not only lost the technological opportunity, but also lost a huge market.
Therefore, Suning quickly spread its technology, not only receiving a steady stream of patent fees, but also able to develop steadily.
...
Time passed very quickly, and it was already 1973. Suning's eldest son, Su Hang, had also returned to Hong Kong Island after attending college in the United States.
Suning did not let Su Hang return to work in the Su Group, but respected Su Hang's request and agreed to allow Su Hang to work in the British Hong Kong government department.
Suning knew that his eldest son Su Hang was not in business. When he chose to apply for law school at Harvard University in the United States, Suning knew that Su Hang wanted to enter politics.
I thought that with my current position in business, coupled with Su Hang's knowledge, and working hard in the British Hong Kong government, by 1997, Su Hang could really compete for the position of chief executive.
After nearly five years of rapid development, the Su Group has grown into a world-class giant. Although it gave up huge profits at the beginning, it also obtained entry tickets to other important companies.
In the past five years, Su Group has invested in many foreign high-tech enterprises and important machinery manufacturing companies, and has gained a lot of technical resources and connections.
Minerals from various countries are indispensable for the Su Group, such as the famous group companies such as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto in later generations.
Sushi Sony has always focused on technological research and development, always maintaining technological leadership, and becoming a true leader in the electronics industry.
Sushi Sony releases a new model of Apple computer every year. By 2073, Sushi Sony had already released the Apple 6 computer.
For mobile phones, although they are not updated as frequently as computers, they still maintain updates every two years and are always ahead of other companies in the same industry. Therefore, the third generation of Pineapple mobile phones has now been released.
Different from Suning's prosperity, Lei Luo's life has been very difficult in recent years. The British Hong Kong government not only suspended him openly and covertly, but also spread rumors that next year, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be established to specifically deal with corruption in Hong Kong Island.
Of course, Lei Luo doesn't care too much about the Independent Commission Against Corruption, but now that he has been hung up, he has less and less real rights. More often, he needs to maintain his previous majesty, so Lei Luo has already begun to slowly transfer
Asset.
"Axia, our Lei Ting likes Su Hang very much, why don't we let the two of them date?"
Bai Yue'e, who is in her forties, still retains her charm. After seeing Su Hang return from studying in the United States, she took advantage of the Su Lei family's dinner party to bring up the matter of getting married.
When Axia heard Bai Yue'e's suggestion, she did not answer Bai Yue'e directly. Instead, she looked at Suning aside, "Husband, what do you think?"
"We have watched this child Lei Ting grow up!
It would be great if we could really be together with Su Hang!"
"Suning, do you agree to this marriage?" Bai Yue'e and Lei Luo on the side were both surprised.
"Eh? What I mean is that it's best to let Su Hang and Lei Ting get along for a while.
As for whether the two of them can get together, it all depends on their fate!"
"Fat man, why are you so busy?
We parents can just decide their marriage directly!" Lei Luo said disapprovingly.
"Brother Luo, I never force our four children!
When Su Hang returned from studying in the United States, I originally wanted him to work in the Su Group!
But Su Hang still chose to work in the government department, so he still has the final say in matters of marriage."
"Hey! You're the only one who has a lot of trouble!
Children should unconditionally obey the decisions of their parents!" After hearing Suning's explanation, Lei Luo understood what Suning meant and still spoke sarcastically, refusing to admit defeat.
Seeing the angry Lei Luo, Suning certainly knew that it was because of his unsatisfactory past few years, and felt a little aggrieved, so Suning didn't take it to heart.
"Brother Luo, I heard that you want to immigrate recently?"
"Well! I want to go to Wanwan, and Bai Yue'e wants to go to Canada!"
“What’s there to do in that tiny place like Wanwan?
You see, I have never invested in Wanwan for so many years, because it would be a complete waste of energy."
"Huh? Fatty, do you mean to suggest that we immigrate to Canada?"
"Well! Canada and Australia are both very good!
Hawaii in the United States is also great!
Anyway, it’s much better than Wanwan!”
"Yeah! I will consider these locations you mentioned!"
"Haha, I already bought a villa and a manor in Hawaii.
Facing the sea, with the spring flowers blooming, it is really one of the joys of life!" Seeing Lei Luo being a little moved, Suning suddenly smiled and enjoyed it.
Although Lei Luo is now on the decline of his life, which is in sharp contrast to Suning's prosperity, Suning still treats Lei Luo as usual.
Suning was actually not optimistic about the marriage between Su Hang and Lei Ting, so she decided to let the two of them get in touch first, just to make the two families look better.
Suning actually had a strong opinion about Lei Luo. Back then, she had to lure Wu Xihao to follow him in drug trafficking, but in the end he still couldn't escape the fate of a broken leg.
Lei Luo asked Wu Xihao to go to Thailand to buy drugs, but he encountered a fierce fight in the Golden Triangle area. Wu Xihao was also hit in the knee by a stray bullet, completely becoming a real lame man.
Lai Hao never regretted it, but Suning didn't know it, because since he left Su's Security Company, Suning had never paid attention to Lai Hao again.
Maybe Laihao also felt that he had let down Suning's respect for him, so he tried his best to avoid Suning for so many years, and would not come to Suning for help when he encountered difficulties.
It has been twenty-four years since I traveled to Hong Kong Island in this time and space. In 1949, I was still a 21-year-old young man, and I have become a 45-year-old middle-aged man now. It can be said that I have seen all kinds of human emotions.
Warm and cold.
Over the years, the relationship with Axia has always been very good, and there has never been a third party. Axia also thought about finding a second wife for Suning, but no matter how beautiful the girl was, Suning rejected her because she had no feelings.
Suning is different from Lei Luo who is born without teaching. He has always paid great attention to the education of his children and always respects the wishes of the children as much as possible.
Suning's four children are also very competitive. After graduating from Harvard Law School in the United States, the eldest son Su Hang went to work in the British Hong Kong government.
The second son, Su Yuan, and the third daughter, Su Yu, are also 19 years old this year and have been arranged by Suning to study in the United States.
The fourth son, Su Hai, has been left on Hong Kong Island by Suning and Axia because he is the youngest. He is about to graduate from high school and is preparing to take the entrance examination to the University of Hong Kong.
Whether it is career or personal life, Suning can be said to be a sure winner in life.
