Reborn Tycoon Rise

"How is the production situation of Tank Battle and Pac-Man?" Xu Zhi is more concerned about this issue.

Some time ago, the company invested too much money, including the acquisition of Yingzhou Yingni, the acquisition of York Refrigerator Department, and the secret acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf, and Cheung Kong Holdings' stocks. These funds basically came from Midea's Xiangjiang Cube and Snake. The profits and funds have long since bottomed out, and they even owe HSBC 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, this has been achieved. A piece of land of nearly 500,000 square feet on the Hung Hom beach has been acquired. Wharf has secretly acquired 2.1% of its shares, Hutchison Whampoa's 7.4%, and Cheung Kong Holdings' 5.2%.

However, subsequent acquisitions are becoming more and more troublesome. Hutchison Whampoa is a little better. Except for HSBC, which owns the majority of the shares, the rest are scattered in the hands of countless shareholders and small shareholders. However, Wharf is already a must-win for Jardine Matheson and Bao Yugang. The equity of Cheung Kong Holdings is relatively concentrated, so it is difficult to just receive a larger amount of equity in the circulation market!

According to feedback from the United States, both Tank Battle and Pac-Man are very popular in the United States, especially Tank Battle. After playing Tank Battle, many people lost interest in the old-fashioned Space Invaders.

As long as Tank Battle can replicate the success of this year's Space Invaders next year, all of Xu Zhi's economic problems will be solved, so production capacity will become a top priority.

He Guoyuan replied: "At present, our factories are no longer responsible for the most basic assembly work. We require several foundries to install all other components except the motherboard, and then we perform the final motherboard compliance and debugging testing. In this way Using this method, our monthly production volume has exceeded 10,000 units, and our quality control has not dropped."

"Okay!" Xu Zhi said happily: "If there is no quality problem, then the entire global arcade market next year will belong to our company.

Even though companies like Sega sell hundreds of thousands of units every year, they are basically junk games that only sell a few thousand or even a few hundred units. What we pursue at Midea is high-quality games. One game is enough to compete with dozens of other companies’ games. .

It is already September, and there are still a few months left this year. As long as everyone here does their job well and controls the quality of the company's products, the end of the year will definitely be approaching! "

"thank you boss!"

"Thanks"

Everyone clapped excitedly, and when they heard the bonus, everyone was happy.

Xu Zhi smiled with satisfaction. A good company should give its employees the rewards they deserve. Employees come to work not for nonsense ambitions, but for money!

…

"Xu Sheng, this is 13.2% of TVB's stock!" Wang Liming held a stack of stocks and said with a smile.

Xu Zhi flipped through the stocks and said with a smile: "After struggling for so long, I finally got it."

Wang Liming nodded and said: "Although the price is not small, it was finally successful. In addition, I entrusted Huo Duoli to inquire about the small shareholders of several wireless TV stations and found that their stocks have been acquired by Shaw Brothers."

"Normal." Xu Zhi was not too surprised and said: "Even the common people now know that Shao Yifu wants to move to the small screen. If I were him, I would have started planning all this long ago. As far as I know, Li Xiaohe and these few In poor health, Wireless's management has actually been controlled by Shao Yifu. As long as he becomes a major shareholder, even if it is not 49%, he can still completely control Wireless. After all, companies like Huang Yihe are for investment purposes. For Management is nothing compared to the dedicated Shao Yifu."

Wang Liming nodded: "Then what's the next step? Although 13% of the stocks are also the major shareholders, they are still far from wanting to acquire the TV station."

Xu Zhi said: "This is the only thing we can do for the time being. My funds are almost exhausted. If Midea's two new games had not had a good effect in the United States, I would not have dared to borrow money so hard."

Although Bao Fuda and others had some special transactions with Xu Zhi, unlike a piece of industrial land, such a big deal as the sale of TVB stock must be approved by the board of directors of Jardine. As for the price, Wang Liming, Yao Mingcheng and others secretly negotiated with Jardine. After negotiating for more than a month, the price was only reduced from 80 million to 77 million, which was 3 million cheaper. This was the result of someone secretly helping.

Goldman Sachs borrowed 20 million U.S. dollars. According to the current exchange rate of US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, it is almost 90 million Hong Kong dollars, and 77 million was used. The remaining 13 million were all used to acquire Hutchison Whampoa shares.

Wang Liming nodded. Several companies owned by his boss had recently borrowed too much money, and all they relied on were Midea's games. He didn't know much about games, and he was worried that if the games were not as successful as expected, Even if the entire company will not go bankrupt, it will be in operating difficulties.

Wang Liming asked: "What will our securities company do next?"

Xu Zhi said: "I am going to the United States. There are no fierce acquisitions in Xiangjiang for the time being. I will still follow the previous plan to secretly acquire the stocks of Cheung Kong Holdings, Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa. Among them, Hutchison Whampoa is the most important. .”

"Understood!" Wang Liming seemed to understand the boss's thoughts and nodded in agreement.

…

Three companies, Evergrande, Changxing and Midea, currently occupy one-story office buildings. Among them, Midea has begun to occupy other floors due to the surge in business volume.

After coming out of Wang Liming's office, Xu Zhi came directly to Lin Wenzhou. Changxing's business volume was not large at first, it was just a comics and toy factory. This was just the headquarters, and the comics employees worked in another place.

However, after the Rubik's Cube became popular, in addition to the factory, there were many more employees at the headquarters. Lin Wenzhou became very busy due to business orders from various places and the expansion of the factory.

"Dong dong..." Seeing that Lin Wenzhou had been lowering his head to do things, Xu Zhi knocked on the door a few times.

"Xu Sheng?" Lin Wenzhou stood up quickly when he saw the person coming.

Xu Zhi walked in and said with a smile: "What have you been busy with recently?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "It's about the Rubik's Cube. Recently we have found that orders in Asia have decreased. After investigation, we found that there are many pirated Rubik's Cubes on the market, even in Xiangjiang and Japan."

After saying that, Lin Wenzhou took out a Rubik's Cube and handed it to Xu Zhidao: "Xu Sheng, look, this is a pirated Rubik's Cube."

Xu Zhi took it, played with it casually and said, "The appearance is similar, but the feel is slightly different."

Lin Wenzhou nodded and said: "Yes, the materials we use are the best on the market, and pirated manufacturers will probably be reluctant to part with them!"

Xu Zhi said: "Can these pirate manufacturers be found?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "We have reported cases in many countries. Some large supermarkets have reached agreements with us and will not purchase Rubik's cubes from other places. Some dealers have been caught and will be tried in court later. But these are just our We already know that this phenomenon exists in many other places, and even some of our own dealers will secretly purchase other Rubik's Cubes to confuse them for sale."

"The cost of the Rubik's Cube is too low, and it is normal for it to be pirated." Xu Zhi said: "Once there are dealers who are confusing sales, they will be kicked out immediately. For other places, we can issue rewards. Any factory that reports the sale of fake Rubik's Cubes will The dealers, after we confirm it, will be able to get the compensation from the final court case, and we don’t want a penny.”

Lin Wenzhou understood immediately and said, "Okay, this is good. Our costs have been reduced a lot."

There are local forces in every place, and using them to fight against local counterfeiters is the best choice. After all, the money given by Midea is absolutely legal, and if you want to get the money, you only need to report it.

Xu Zhi said: "I'm going to the United States soon, and I'll probably stay there for a while. How are the Rubik's Cube sales channels in the United States?"

Lin Wenzhou said: "We have contacted local supermarkets such as Sears, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, and 7-11 to supply them directly. The current sales volume is average, because Xu Sheng said that the US market is mainly left to you. operation, and because of financial reasons, I have not arranged large-scale advertising in the United States.”

Although Rubik's Cube has made some money in Asia, it has currently invested in secondary advertising in these countries. However, if it wants to cover the United States, the funds are simply not enough.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Okay, this time when I go to the United States, I will contact the major local TV stations and newspapers. I estimate it will have a certain publicity effect. By then, Xiangjiang must be prepared to go into full production!"

Lin Wenzhou promised: "No problem, I guarantee to complete the production tasks."
