Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After watching the debugging of the home theater with surround sound, Bao Zixuan walked in the direction of Steve Cézanne, and now wanted to see how the digital camera was doing.

After Steve Cézanne came to Black Cloud Group, his life changed a lot. I used to be an ordinary engineer. Although he was known as the father of digital cameras, his income was not very high. He is a type of person who is not taken seriously in Kodak. After all, the research and development direction conflicts with the company's main business.

Things changed after I came to live and work in Heiyun Group. Now I am the general manager of Heiyun Digital Camera Company. Directly becoming a senior executive of the company, the salary is 10 times that of before. This engineer with infinite love for digital cameras has become the busiest employee of Heiyun Group, thinking about how to improve the performance of cameras every day. After knowing the situation, Bao Zixuan thought that not everyone in the United States dislikes working overtime. It mainly depends on whether the money is adequate and whether you can let him engage in the industry he likes.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Steve, can current digital cameras meet the requirements you mentioned last time?"

Before Bao Zixuan went to Detroit, Steve Cézanne proposed to him to buy and build a 10-megapixel concept camera. This was the 1980s, and unless satellite photography technology was applied, it would be difficult to meet the requirements. But in the end Bao Zixuan decided to give it a try. After all, it didn’t cost much, and it could provide technology accumulation for future research and development.

Steve Cézanne: "Boss, we have been able to achieve this, but the equipment is too big. It is not suitable for photographers to hold in their hands and can only be placed on a stand for fixed shooting. Also, the battery does not meet the requirements. It must be connected to an external power supply, but it can be placed indoors to shoot fixed targets, and the shooting effect can already meet the design specifications.”

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that this engineer with infinite love for digital cameras would actually make a camera. It seems that in many cases it is not a problem of technical reserves, but of research and development direction and funding.

After understanding the completion of this book, Bao Zixuan knew that sometimes it was not necessarily a good thing to encourage others to make things worse. Heiyun is an enterprise, not a national scientific research unit. Many times we have to consider the commercial value. This digital camera is so bulky and costs more than $15,000. Who will buy it? But we can’t dampen the enthusiasm of engineers now, after all, the exhibition is about to start.

After leaving the digital camera booth, I saw Junpei Yokoi and Miyamoto Hao discussing product recommendations for the FC red and white machine. After all, this time we are going to make a key recommendation internally, and unlike handheld game consoles, this home game console has two controllers and requires the cooperation of two people to achieve the best results.

The two were too serious in their discussion and did not notice the arrival of their boss. It wasn't until Miyamoto turned around that he realized that Bao Zixuan had been listening to their discussion.

Miyamoto Hat said: "Your Excellency, President, you are here. I'm sorry I didn't see you just now."

Bao Zixuan: "It's okay. You are too devoted to your work. How are you preparing for the product recommendation meeting now?"

Miyamoto hat looked at Yokoi Junpei, the Japanese have a strong sense of superiority and inferiority. Tsunei Junpei said without being polite: "Now Miyamoto-kun and I are playing games together. The main reason is that I am not very familiar with some games and often hold myself back."

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "You usually pay too much attention to hardware products. If people know that our general manager of Heiyun Game Company is actually not good at games, it will make headlines."

Now Heiyun Game Company is recognized by the industry as the world's number one game company. As for Nintendo, the industry's number one in the previous life, it has long been left behind, and now it can't even find its shadow. You can only survive by holding on to Sony's lap, otherwise you won't be able to play with your own strength.

Yokoi Junpei: "Yes! I used to think that as long as the hardware configuration is solved, it seems that now I still need to know more about the gameplay. Otherwise, many functions are not designed very reasonably. It seems that in the future, I will have to discuss it with the president and Miyamoto-kun, please communicate more."

In his previous life, Yokoi Junpei didn't know much about the game itself, so the products he developed were not matched with good games. This is also the reason why Junpei Yokoi left Nintendo. Bao Zixuan does not want this problem to happen again.

Bao Zixuan: "We will have a meeting when we return to the hotel later to see if there are any places that are not in place. You two have to introduce the FC red and white console on the stage. The task is very heavy. How are you preparing?"

Yokoi Junpei: "President, please rest assured that I will not embarrass the company. I guarantee that nothing will happen."

Bao Zixuan: "I am very confident about your abilities. Do you have any difficulties in life in Xiangjiang?"

Seeing that the layout of the exhibition hall was basically completed, Bao Zixuan also wanted to have a good chat with these two talented people. Although there is a contract, it is not very safe. And he knew that the old guy Hiroshi Yamauchi had been looking for the two of them several times in private, hoping that the two successful generals would return to Japan and Nintendo. They are even willing to provide the Heiyun Group with a termination fee and guarantee that their income will not be lower than what they earn in Hong Kong.

Bao Zixuan knew that there must be Sony factors involved, otherwise Nintendo would not be able to afford such benefits with its current strength. Now it seems that some things still need to be discussed with Akio Morita. It is best for everyone to live in peace. Otherwise, Heiyun Group is not a small player at the mercy of others, and Sony will lose more than it gains.

Miyamoto is still a young man with a young mentality, and he has always been unsure about Hutchison Whampoa shares. Now I hear Bao Zixuan ask about any difficulties in life. Such a good opportunity cannot be wasted.

Miyamoto hat said: "Your Excellency, President, what should we do now about Hutchison Whampoa shares! When we left Hong Kong, it had risen to 53 Hong Kong dollars per share; do we still want to continue to hold it now!"

They were also a little worried, after all, it only took so long. Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has more than tripled, and Miyamoto Hat has earned his first 2 billion yen in life. Nowadays, even in Japan, they are definitely a wealthy class, and they are the people who can buy luxury houses in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

Bao Zixuan knew that more or less Heiyun employees had purchased Hutchison Whampoa shares. He acquiesces to these things, after all, Heiyun will not split shares yet. Then Hutchison Whampoa is also a good choice to tie up employees, otherwise why would they follow you wholeheartedly? Moreover, there are still many shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa that have not been exposed, and Bao Zixuan does not want outsiders to take advantage. With the purchasing power of Heiyun employees, I believe many shareholders will make a choice after being short of money.

At the same time, with Heiyun holding 4 shares, the group's employee shareholding ratio will definitely increase further. It is also a way to become an employee-owned enterprise in disguise, and it is also a shareholder-owned enterprise that can be cashed out at any time. The operability will be very flexible, and it is also a workaround to retain the backbone of the company and senior officials.

Bao Zixuan: "Miyamoto-kun, I know you purchased more than 1 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa. If you keep it until retirement, I think you will be worth more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars by then. I plan to build terminals in many places in the future and supermarkets, Hutchison Whampoa has unique advantages in this regard.

Since my subordinate asked, just click on it. Otherwise, if you don’t make any money, it will be difficult for everyone to explain in the future. After saying that, the two people were left with confused faces, and Bao Zixuan wanted to go to other exhibition areas. The commotion this time has been so big, it would be bad if you accidentally embarrass someone.

After checking all the booths, Heiyun Group employees drove towards the Hilton Hotel. This time we were still staying at the Hill Group Hotel, but there were already 100 people participating in the exhibition. In addition to the team of engineers who introduce products and display technologies, the security department of Heiyun Group also sent 30 security guards to provide careful security for the exhibition hall.
