Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After neither party involved made any response, the news faded away. However, some organizations are still conducting investigations and research in this area, and they all want to know the true thoughts of the two people. After all, if the Morgan family and Bao Zixuan really combined, the threat would be too great, and the Rockefeller family was a little worried.

After learning from Rachel Morgan that the U.S. Department of Commerce was going to investigate Heiyun, Bao Zixuan prepared to make arrangements in advance. This time he chose to avoid its edge and could only give in. Even a company as powerful as IBM, which is deeply rooted in the United States, has a very hard time facing the investigation of the Department of Commerce. How can a foreigner with no roots endure it?

At this time, all of Heiyun's product systems can only form a monopoly on games, toys, and animation series. There are many companies competing with other electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, and walkmans. This is why Bao Zixuan has licensed many patents. reason. Everyone wants to be alone and dominate the market, but if you really dare to do this, you will be poisoned to death sooner or later.

Black Cloud Software is a closed ecosystem and will only be installed on computers produced by itself. Moreover, many application software have been authorized in advance, and now Microsoft has the highest market share in the software industry. Fortunately, Bao Zixuan is also a major shareholder of Microsoft, so he can achieve a certain balance.

Although the market share of mobile phones is high due to the presence of Motorola, it is not that obvious, and many authorized companies are also stepping up the development of their own mobile phones. As long as Heiyun maintains its technological advantage, there will be no problem. The ideal situation is for other companies to catch up.

Although the sales of large-scale industrial computers are good, no one can guarantee that they will be better than the other when competing with IBM. Heiyun wins in terms of novel design and superb performance. Since IBM has no constraints, it can devote all its efforts to upgrading and transforming old products. With the customer base accumulated over the years, it is completely able to equal Heiyun.

Home appliances have never been Heiyun's strength, and there is no possibility of antitrust. If the monopoly is also a monopoly of Japanese companies, the sales volume of Heiyun's home appliance products is still far behind that of Japanese companies.

The storage chip industry is also dominated by Japanese companies, American companies, and Heiyun, and no one can claim to have the initiative in the market.

Compared with traditional cameras, not many people use digital cameras now. After all, this thing requires a computer to work with it to achieve the best results, and most people still cannot meet the financial requirements.

Although Heiyun Automobile's market share is constantly expanding, it is still far from the antitrust red line. At this time, it has attracted the attention of major car companies in the world, mainly because the models and engines provided by Bao Zixuan are so excellent. Antitrust investigations in the automobile industry only target low-end dumped vehicles; luxury car companies basically do not exist, and it is difficult for any car company to dominate the world.

As for lithography machines and CNC machine tools, most of them are used by themselves or have technical reserves. They are not deliberately promoted in the market. The users are basically large enterprises, and there is no monopoly.

The biggest headaches now are the toys, games, and animation industries. Although these items are gradually reducing their proportion of Heiyun Group's revenue. But for Heiyun, such a high sales volume cannot be ignored compared to any company.

Bao Zixuan knew that with the urinary nature of the U.S. business department, even the slightest problem with him would be magnified infinitely. Since the opening of the Deep Sea Toy Factory, with the rise of toy machines, the Deep Sea Toy Factory has been overloaded. Even with three expansions of production capacity, it still cannot meet market demand. For the terrifying sales, employee wages and operating costs in mainland China are almost negligible. There are already dumping and monopoly trends in the market, which must now be addressed.

Transformers, Lego, Rubik's Cube and other Black Cloud toys have no rivals in the United States, mainly because there are almost no similar products. Now we can only give up part of our interests, cooperate with local manufacturers, and license out some products.

Since Heiyun Game Company has two great masters, Junpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto, it is combining Bao Zixuan’s advanced ideas. Both hardware and software occupy a dominant position in the market. The playability of the game is too high, and the Heiyun game console can only play games developed by Heiyun itself or exclusively represented by it. Now it seems that it is time to open the port.

The animation industry has Bao Zixuan's advanced ideas, Miyazaki Hayao's genius design and infinite charisma, and massive capital investment, which makes it impossible to compete with opponents in the market. Now it seems that it needs to change, otherwise it will be more troublesome to sue you for cultural monopoly.

Thinking that the U.S. Department of Commerce will not give Heiyun too long, it may be collecting materials now. At present, we can only speed up the process and give away the benefits. This is equivalent to giving money to others for nothing, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.

The first step for Bao Zixuan is to list anime characters from other companies around the world, allowing it to enter the internal market of claw machines and give consumers more choices. At the same time, the supply price of Heiyun animation characters will be increased and the supply quantity will be reduced. The result of this is that the sales of Heiyun animation characters began to decline, but the profits did not decrease. Moreover, Bao Zixuan is not prepared to increase investment in such a labor-intensive industry. The production chain is too low-end.

Hasn't Hasbro always wanted to get the license to produce Transformers, Lego, Rubik's Cube and other toys themselves? Then give it to him. I didn’t give it to him before because I didn’t hear that the Ministry of Commerce was planning to investigate Hei Yun. Now I have to be even more careful.

Hasbro, a famous American toy company. It was founded by brothers Henry and Helal Hassenfeld in 1923 in Rhode Island, USA. The name comes from the abbreviation of Hassenfeld Brothers. The company initially just made pencil cases and other stationery, and later acquired Playskool. In 1935, Hasbro made its fortune with the Monopoly game and gradually became a world-class toy company. The company owns many well-known brands such as My Little Pony, Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Star Wars.

In the previous life, Transformers was Hasbro's flagship product, but now it's just back in their hands. Not only will Heiyun compete with them in the market, but it will also be able to obtain considerable patent licensing fees, and will receive profit sharing for every product sold. Laomei is indeed doing well in the area of ​​intellectual property.

Hasbro's CEO was still in the dark after Heiyun's negotiators left. The patent authorization that he had struggled to obtain before was finally obtained by just sending a fax. Be sure to reward that intern well, she might be the company's lucky star.

Every once in a while, Hasbro will request Heiyun to authorize the production of Transformers, Lego bricks, and Rubik's Cubes. Heiyun's own production capacity is sufficient, and it is not short of money. Wouldn’t it be better to occupy the market by yourself? Over time, Hasbro has almost given up. But just in time for the graduation season, a new employee was arranged by an old employee to send an authorization request to Heiyun; everyone knew that it would be rejected.

But no one expected that Bao Zixuan would suddenly change his personality and directly arrange for people to contact Hasbro to facilitate this matter. In this way, this newly hired intern was directly benefited. Not only did he become a full-time employee directly, but he also became the immediate boss of the old employee who was playing tricks on him. This is his fate, and many people really envy him.

Game consoles and game Bao Zixuan arranged for Junpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto to open all ports. In other words, in the future, Heiyun's game consoles can play games from other companies, and game consoles produced by other companies can also run Heiyun's game cartridges. Although the two people did not understand, they still carried out the boss's order.

This has made the game industry boom all of a sudden, which is a good thing for everyone. But this is not necessarily the case for Heiyun. They already have an absolute advantage. People who love games do not need to play Sony and Nintendo games. But as long as there is no one who likes games, there is no one who does not play games produced by Heiyun. Bao Zixuan's move revitalized the declining Nintendo. This wave of operations left Akio Morita and Hiroshi Yamauchi feeling a little confused.

Animation industry Bao Zixuan wants to not provide any ideas to Miyazaki in the short term, and then let him reduce the size of the animation staff at the headquarters. Support animators to start their own businesses, and let everyone go out and have a try. Heiyun Animation can provide financial, technical and other support, but only requires you to pay a small amount of shares. To a certain extent, this will make many anime characters not completely belong to Heiyun, so there is no such thing as a monopoly culture.

Bao Zixuan is a very resolute person, and he can finish everything he wants to do in less than half a month. Many insiders cannot understand the operation of this young rich man. Is it because of his conscience that he wants everyone to make money together? I was still stimulated by something and became abnormal.

After Black Cloud finished handling the matter, Howard Malcolm Baldrige, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, who was far away in Washington, was furious with his subordinates. Who leaked the information? This insider must be found. Otherwise Bao Zixuan would not be able to do things so beautifully; and it would be so smooth that no one would be able to find any faults.

Political Officer Robert Adam Mosbacher said: "Your Excellency Minister, do you still want to launch an antitrust investigation into Heiyun now?"

Howard-Malcolm-Baldrige said angrily: "What are you still investigating? Are you making people laugh? You and I both know Bao Zixuan's financial resources. Even if there is evidence, we may not win the case; not to mention that there is no evidence and market. Feedback that Heiyun has monopolistic behavior. However, this time someone must have leaked the news in advance. An investigation will be conducted on all insiders within the Ministry of Commerce. If necessary, the FBI can be requested for assistance. There is an old saying in China that money can make all ghosts go around, and Heiyun is the least likely to do so. What is missing is money. We must catch the traitor this time, otherwise there will be no peace in the future."

w-Morgan looked at Bao Zixuan's pretentious behavior and knew that it must be his daughter who leaked the information to him. It seemed that his daughter had already made a choice.

Bao Zixuan didn't know that he had escaped a disaster this time. If the response hadn't been so quick, there would have been endless antitrust lawsuits, and there would have been constant trouble.
