Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

On March 5, 1981, it was time for the annual Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show. Compared with the 30 people who came to participate in the exhibition for the first time three years ago, the number of people from Heiyun Group participating in the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition has increased by more than 10 times. The area of ​​the exhibition hall has been expanded at least five times. This is a matter of the host committee’s responsibility to take care of the face and interests of other exhibitors.

People all over the world know that Heiyun Group has designated the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show as its home venue every time. At this time, no company in the United States could compete with Japanese and German companies in electronic products. Many of Heiyun's subsidiaries are registered in the United States, so it's not a bad idea to take proper care of each of them.

However, what makes Bao Zixuan a little regretful is that Konosuke Matsushita, whom he sees every time, did not come this time. I heard that there was something wrong with his health. After all, a person who is almost 90 years old is not as healthy as a young person. Akio Morita, who considered himself an old friend, greeted him warmly.

After Bao Zixuan handed over most of the settlement business of Heiyun Group in Hong Kong to Sumitomo Bank, many Japanese media believed that he might come to Japan for development next. Now his Blackstone Fund is buying a large number of properties in Tokyo, Daban and other cities.

From the Japanese perspective, Bao Zixuan has not purchased any properties in the United States. In addition to building factories in Xiangjiang, no other excess real estate was purchased. The value of the properties purchased in China is negligible. Only in Japan did he spend a lot of real money to buy properties. Isn’t it a plan to develop in Japan in advance?

Bao Zixuan had no choice but to respond politely to Akio Morita's overly enthusiastic greeting.

Akio Morita: "Bao Sang, I see your complexion is getting better and better. Youth is your asset!"

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Shengtian is also getting stronger with age. I guess he will never be inferior to the young man in doing things now!"

Akio Morita: "We are all old. Didn't you see that Konosuke Matsushita didn't come this time? I heard that his health is not very good and he has been basically recuperating at home since the beginning of winter."

Bao Zixuan: "Yes! After all, I am 90 years old, and I may not live to such an old age. His absence really feels like a shortcoming, and suddenly it seems like there is one less competitor. "

The two exchanged a few words and then returned to their own exhibition halls. After all, the next moment was when they would bloom.

Heiyun Group always takes the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show as its first exhibition. Of course, the main committee takes care of them as it should. Not only does it have the best seats, this time it is arranged for Heiyun Group to be the first to introduce its products.

The products of Heiyun Group have gradually diversified, from the small Walkmans and game consoles exhibited for the first time to high-tech products such as laptops, mobile phones, chips, large home appliances, and large industrial computers. The technology content is getting higher and higher, and the price is no longer cheap. Fortunately, games are still being developed, but the proportion of the company's turnover is decreasing month by month.

Bao Zixuan appeared in the center of the stage wearing a high-end custom-made suit, and next to him was the Heiyun gy1 computer, the main product of this exhibition. At this time, they are all covered with red cloth, giving people a sense of mystery.

Seeing Bao Zixuan appear on the stage, the people in the audience started cheering. Some little girls were even more excited. After all, this was a real virgin, and he was also a super virgin.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I am quite popular! It seems that I don't need to develop products in the future. I can just go on stage and hold concerts. I guess I can also earn living expenses."

A simple joke made the atmosphere even more heated, and even the girls screamed.

Bao Zixuan: "It has been almost 40 years since the world's first computer was born, and people's lives have gradually become inseparable from it. Large scientific research institutions, banks and other data calculations and storage cannot do without it. For those who can bring great benefits to human life, Of course Heiyun Group, which comes with convenient products, cannot miss this opportunity.”

The moment the two hostesses lifted the red cloth, everyone was shocked by the giant figure on the stage. This techy guy is a computer.

Bao Zixuan continued: "Heiyun Gy1 computer has two large LCD screens, distributed on the left and right sides. But it can monitor various data and calculations in real time and can connect 20 small computers together at the same time. In other words, any organization can purchase I bought a computer like this; 20 people can share the internal resources of the computer."

"You only need to register the administrator rights, so that resources will not be wasted. At the same time, the peak computer of this computer can reach 5.18 million operations per second, which is definitely enough for everyone to distribute the computing data."

"In addition, it also has a huge storage space. It can be said that all books known to mankind can be stored in it after being compressed, and can be accessed and viewed at any time."

Hearing this made many people take a breath of air, especially representatives from IBM. Seeing the Heiyun computer, I know that the antitrust investigation can be ended early, but the market share in the future will be very ugly. Should I be happy or sad?

Every time Bao Zixuan explains a product, he leaves time for reporters to ask questions, which has become a routine.

A beautiful reporter said: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I am Nata, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. I would like to ask you how much this computer costs and whether ordinary people can own it."

Bao Zixuan: "The global price is US$2.28 million, with free warranty and upgrades within five years."

Upon hearing this price, everyone looked at the IBM representative in unison. It seems to be saying that this is priced for you, and then it depends on how IBM takes over. As a flagship product of IBM, the price of the 360 ​​industrial computer fluctuates between 2 million and 3 million US dollars depending on the configuration. Now the Black Cloud is priced at 2.28 million US dollars. From the appearance, you can tell that the performance of this computer must not be worse than that of the 360, or even Some features will be even more powerful.

Then a Middle Eastern reporter asked: "Can this computer calculate the data needed to develop a nuclear bomb?"

This is an unforgettable question, and it is now being asked by journalists in the Middle East, which makes people start to think about it. Bao Zixuan answered directly: "As a peace-loving person, I don't want nuclear bombs in the world, but as a computer engineer, I must answer every question scientifically and rigorously."

"It would take about half a year for this computer to independently complete the research and development calculations of a nuclear bomb. We have not developed a similar system. However, this computer can be used for data calculations in nuclear power plants. Its overall performance is very excellent."

Hearing that the calculation of an atomic bomb can be completed in half a year makes many countries want to get it. After all, even if you don't make nuclear weapons, you can still preview them. Although the price is not cheap, for a country, this is not a problem.

At this time, a reporter from the British Times asked: "Are all the components of this computer produced in the Heiyun production base in Xiangjiang?"

This is another bottom-drilling behavior by the British, who are constantly evaluating the strategic value of the Black Cloud Group. Fortunately, Bao Zixuan was prepared and said: "It can only be said that it is half self-produced. This computer uses 8,000 Motorola 68000 chips."

"This computer is very expensive, but do you know it? Mr. Robert Calvin has made most of the money. Heiyun is more of an assembler selling design concepts, software and other components. If Mr. Calvin doesn't If you supply me with goods, it won't take long for production capacity to run into problems. Fortunately, I have ordered enough inventory, and the contract clearly stipulates a huge amount of liquidated damages."

Hearing the direction of Robert Calvin, which many people here were looking at, the American reporters had proud expressions on their faces. Heiyun Bao Zixuan is great, but shouldn’t the core technology still have to be purchased from an American company?

It was because of Bao Zixuan's words that Motorola's stock price surged again. At this time, Bao Zixuan's investment of US$500 million had tripled, and everyone was very optimistic about Motorola's important application status in mobile phones and computers.

It can be said that the Heiyun gy1 industrial computer has left a deep impression on people, especially some national agencies who are eager to get it immediately.
