Investment Life

The fluorescent light in the cabin had been turned off, and his side was in a dim state. Yan Qiaosen leaned asleep on the seat inside, and occasionally heard one or two low snoring sounds. Zhang Gang is sitting on the outside with his eyes slightly closed, like a large cat in a fake maggot, and can reflect and jump at any time.

However, Chen Yuanming didn't pay attention to them, just focused on the letter in his hand under the light of the small lamp above his head. This is a letter from my hometown. Due to the constant travels throughout the year, the mailbox in Shanghai has been left in the cold. Only one letter will be sent and received every month. This letter was sent a month ago.

Judging from the handwriting, it was not the mother who wrote the letter, but the aunt wrote it. As a primary school language teacher, her aunt's writing is much smoother than her parents', but in the polite greeting, there is something missing that makes Chen Yuanming tremble.

This year, the changes in the home have also been amazing. In June of this year, the father who was promoted to the group leader was finally assigned the first suite in his life, a small two-bedroom unit of 50 square meters. When moving, three firecrackers were set off, and the stationery sent there was a strong smell of gunpowder. With the new house, the mother ’s mentality began to slowly change, and she no longer had to compare baht as before. Two months later, cousin Song Tingting was admitted to the city's first high school with an excellent score, and the family gave generous tuition and accommodation fees. By the end of October, the aunt's job was finally transferred from the county to the city, living in the staff dormitory of that private elementary school and starting a brand new life.

The aunt was relatively safe. She borrowed 3,000 yuan from her home at the beginning of the year and brought her 5,000 yuan together to invest in tobacco production. At this time, the benefits of the cigarette factory had not reached its heyday, but the tobacco company was always rich in oil, and few people dared to go into the sea to grow cash crops. After the last harvest in October, the aunt ’s family also returned the capital. Next year, I am still eager to read a few more technical books to increase yield and refine planting.

With eyes closed at home, every day is a good day, and parents can't bear it anymore, even if they still send money to the house for 2,000 yuan a month, the letter urging home is still one by one, here In the letter, the aunt mentioned her academic problems. It was said that she had passed through the school. As long as she lowered her head to admit an error and take a retest, she would get a junior high school diploma directly. At this time, although it was a little late to go to high school, it was sent directly to the repeating class of high school. After studying hard for a year, there is still hope to be admitted to college.

However, the teaching in the letter was a bit helpless in front of Chen Yuanming. If it was a year or two ago, he might still have some ideas, but now that the stalls are getting bigger, he really can no longer calm down to read any high school. What university, at least not in this treacherous early stage ...

Gently rubbing his forehead, Chen Yuanming narrowed his eyes and pondered his layout in his heart. After the dvd issue is officially launched, should he also put some suitable projects into his hometown and put it into production? Not to mention the economic benefits brought about, with enough social status and the establishment of a solid network of social relationships, can parents who live far away in their hometown feel comfortable living a good life.

And for that city, his ambition is actually more than that. In the next few years, those once-brilliant large state-owned enterprises went bankrupt, went bankrupt, and closed down, leaving some lingering lingering and no longer the former heyday. Huge resources, abundant labor, and highly skilled researchers have all become disposable consumables, causing incalculable waste. If you do something at that time, will he be able to get rid of those big trees before they collapse? Rescue some nurseries ...

There was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and Chen Yuanming folded the stationery and leaned on the back of the chair slightly tired. Even if the body was young enough, his shoulders were too heavy. However, the opportunities and challenges were so tempting that he couldn't help desperately ...

Ten hours passed from Shanghai to New York, and in addition to Song Kaiwen, there was Lin Xuewen who hadn't seen it for more than a month. Compared with the slightly reserved attitude at the beginning, Lin Xuewen can now be regarded as daring. However, it is not difficult to understand that he was the real success of the first battle. An advertising plan brought more than 600 million monthly sales. Anyone is inevitable for a while. It is commendable to keep the mind and continue to work for the goal.

After chatting with the other person for a few words with a smile, Chen Yuanming turned the topic back, "How about, Murdoch's intention of cooperation showed?"

Today News Corps' headquarters is still in Australia, and only New York's branch office is located in New York. Instead of going directly to Australia, they came to the United States precisely because the Murdocks are currently in New York. In Feiyan's development plan, they did not lock any of the eight major film industries, but directly sought Fox's behind-the-scenes boss, precisely because of the existence of Murdoch, a strange man.

Although he hasn't married a Chinese wife, Murdoch's intentions towards China have long been clear, and not to mention those classic 20th Century Fox films that were given away for free when he first visited China in the mid-1980s. He was recently in Hong Kong alone The big movements made are just amazing. News Corp. bought a 63.6% stake in Star Satellite TV run by Li Ka-shing for 500 million yuan, and entered the Asian market in one fell swoop. This obvious development strategy is precisely a sign that Murdoch is extremely concerned about the Chinese market.

Now just after the Iraq war in the early 1990s and the global economic recession, News Corps, like a monster dormant for several years, has begun to open its teeth to the entire media world. When it comes to entertainment media, when it comes to derivative superposition, no product can have such an amazing impact on the future film and television industry as the optical disc. Therefore, choosing an ally who is interested in the Chinese market and has a significant influence on the US film industry has become an important part of the battle against the United States, and Murdoch is their most preferred partner.

"Of course." Lin Xuewen showed a contented smile. "I was still talking to a ceo from News Corp., but the situation changed dramatically after Fei Yan's sales came out. It is said that this time Murdoch himself To make it happen. "

"Oh?" Chen Yuanming smiled slightly. "Then we have to wait for it."

"Indeed." Lin Xuewen didn't mean to be joking. "Listening to the news, when Feiyan was in Hong Kong, Murdoch happened to talk to Li Jiacheng over there, and somehow I paid attention to you, so this time it was Prepare for it, and we must be fully prepared for it. "

Hearing that Chen Yuanming could not help but hesitated. But after just thinking for a few seconds, he smiled, "The soldiers come to block it. This is already our best choice. We must fight steadily."

With the opinions of the big brothers on both sides, the meeting was arranged very quickly. It was directly scheduled for this Thursday. Due to the formal official talks, Chen Yuanming, Yan Qiaosen and Lin Xuewen all attended the scene. Fox TV was accompanied by Murdoch. And two key members of the film company.

auzw.com Although status is not equal, Murdoch still shows a good manner, unlike the sharpness hidden under courtesy of Mr. Robertson, a financial predator, and different from Sir Shao Due to the dullness and depth brought by age, Murdoch, who is only in his early 60s, does not look like a standard businessman. Instead, he is a bit of a college professor, always with a kind smile on his face, as if facing Not a potential business partner, but a disciple who is about to get started.

It is this attitude that made Lin Xuewen's enthusiastic introduction into the cotton pile. Sales figures, industry prospects, and development plans have not stirred up a wave of waves in the eyes of the other party. Murdoch just brought that kind of With a constant smile, he quietly observed the young people in front of him. After Lin Xuewen had finished speaking, he nodded gently.

"It's an interesting device, but this is not the product we need right now."

Obtaining such a reply, Chen Yuanming is not surprised. At present, the clarity of vcd playback is only equal to that of video tapes, and the video tape industry in the United States is already quite developed. Whether it is leased or sold, a network has been formed. There is no need for such a cheap alternative to vcd . So before the talks, he and Lin Xuewen had already formulated a response policy.

Sure enough, Lin Xuewen just smiled, "Yes, the United States does not need to develop the vcd industry now, but it does not mean that the United States or the world does not need the optical disc industry. This is one of the directors of Feiyan, Mr. Yan Qiaosen. His cube company is the origin of the vcd compression format mpeg-1, and also holds the future development of mpeg. For this, we can listen to the opinions of professionals. "

Compared to Lin Xuewen's blunt talk, Yan Qiaosen's style is obviously different from Manhattan's, and it is a standard Silicon Valley model. "What we're talking about here is actually not just the optical disc industry, but a video revolution that is closely related to the rapid development of screen resolutions today. Today, stn-lcd screens have appeared in Japan, and the resolution is generally 640 × 480 pixels. Two years later began to develop tft-lcd, with the pixels upgraded to 1024 × 768. However, the matching and vhs video tapes are still 352x240 pixels. When the LCD screen is further developed, they are bound to replace ordinary CRT screens and become the next generation of computers and televisions. This kind of development of the display interface is irreversible in Silicon Valley, so the video compression mode has become a vital link. "

"Feiyan currently does not have a simple vcd machine, but the key to entering the next era. Mpeg will not only be used for compacting optical discs, but will gradually be extended to applications for personal computers and televisions. The visual effect will occupy more production space from the traditional large screen, and the future era will be more closely centered on the small screen. Of course, it is also inseparable from the satellite TV that your group depends on. So I think this cooperation is Very forward-looking and profound. "

Murdoch didn't refute this time. After tapping his finger twice on the table, he suddenly turned to look at Chen Yuanming, who was sitting beside him, and smiled. "Young man, I heard Mr. Li from Hong Kong mention you."

Mr. Li? Chen Yuanming reflected in an instant. This is probably the richest man in Hong Kong. "It's a pity the trip to Hong Kong was too hasty and I didn't have the opportunity to meet Mr. Li."

"But you saw Sir Shao." Murdoch's smile was a little bigger. "You know we were quite interested in Hong Kong TVB, but we still couldn't reach an agreement with Sir Shao. The old man was older than me Expected to be stubborn and powerful. "

Chen Yuanming also laughed, "Maybe it's because the two satellite TVs have different meanings to Mr. Li and Sir Shao, but Feiyan is in line with Sir Shao's tvb development."

Gently shook his head, the smile on Murdoch's face did not dissipate, "You should not be able to impress him with such simple things. Your vcd has considerable prospects, but we also do TV, and I know very well. What you need is also very clear what you need. Compared to tv, the film industry should be your goal, such as Time Warner, which has been very close to China recently, and even directly found the 20th Century Fox, they You should also be more interested in your products. What made you find me directly? "

This is straightforward, but it is not impossible to answer. Chen Yuanming laughed, "Because you are Mr. Murdoch, the person who first downplayed ideology in the western world and took the lead in reaching out to China. Although Feiyan is a family US joint venture company, but it will only be rooted in China, a hot land, and we want to explore its potential, we must find someone who is also interested in this big market in China. Fox is great, but not enough, compared to you Its News Corps is not enough. "

After a pause, the smiles on Chen Yuanming's face slowly faded and became very serious. "If it is only the development of the vcd industry, Feiyan does not need to rely on anyone's strength, but the next generation of optical disc products, and even the innovation of personal computers and televisions None of the Feiyan family can afford it, so we need more powerful allies to enter the system, and together we will bring about a new round of standards. An ally strong enough to fight those giant consortia in Japan. "

"And you chose me, News Corp."

"That's right, because I believe News Corporation can become the world's most important media giant, and China will also become the world's most important open market, and neither of these will take too long."

Today's News Corps has not annexed Hughes Electronics of the United States, nor has it picked up the direct gem of the crown jewel, but occupying the United States has always been Murdoch's ideal, or one of the goals. He looked at the boy's serious expression in front of him, and he smiled.

"Your honesty is amazing and your goals are the same. I admire them." The media emperor's head leaned slightly and leaned on the back of the chair. "Since the things in your mouth are so beautiful, let's try them together Right. "
