We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#25 - Boss, I don't think I'm doing well enough.

"Master, this isn't really a problem. I might not have complex 21st-century technology data, but 20th-century technology is completely no problem," Su Cheng heard another piece of good news from Xiao Ai.

It seemed he had wasted these five years, not understanding Xiao Ai enough.

In the beginning, he indeed relied on Xiao Ai to obtain a lot of information about the stock market and gambling, thereby getting rich and gradually establishing the current Tianyuan Investment Management Company and Tian He International Security Company.

However, because he had been secretly developing everything and the computer technology of this era was too backward, he never thought about whether Xiao Ai could directly control computers.

Now that he no longer needed to hide and develop secretly, he began to dislike the backward technology of this era.

At this moment, Su Cheng had a new goal.

Since a computer could complete typing tasks, he should buy one.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng directly called Brother Wu.

"Brother Wu, how is the construction of the intelligence department going?" Su Cheng asked directly after the call connected.

"Boss, currently I have contacted several intelligence personnel I used to know, and six of them have agreed to join our department. At the same time, I have also started deploying intelligence personnel in Hong Kong. Although I haven't been able to exert a very good effect, there is absolutely no problem with general intelligence gathering," Brother Wu said with a smile.

"So fast?" Su Cheng was a little surprised. It had only been less than a week from the establishment of the intelligence department to now.

Sure enough, Brother Wu was a talent.

"I know more about this aspect, and the speed of deployment is also okay. Boss, plus those international intelligence personnel, as long as you give me half a year, I can ensure that everything in Hong Kong cannot escape our sharp eyes," Brother Wu said with great confidence.

"Very good, then I'll wait. For now, I'll give you a simple task to complete. Help me find out within half an hour where in Hong Kong sells the newly released IBM 5110 computer from the United States this year," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"No problem, leave it to me," Brother Wu said confidently and hung up the phone.

Su Cheng then sat in the office, reading documents and waiting patiently.

Originally, he thought it would take at least half an hour, but unexpectedly, five minutes later, Su Cheng received another call from Brother Wu.

"Boss, I have already found out that there are currently three stores in Hong Kong selling the IBM 5110 computer you mentioned, located in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Mong Kok. Among them, the one in Central is closest to the Su's Group headquarters. It is located on the first floor of the Landmark Building's commercial street, where a computer store called Future Technology Museum sells it," Brother Wu said quickly on the phone.

"It seems that your intelligence organization is starting to take shape!" Su Cheng was very happy about this.

After all, this intelligence organization would serve him in the future, and his safety would be more guaranteed.

"Boss, I don't think I'm doing well enough. I will strive to collect these small pieces of intelligence within one minute in the future," Brother Wu didn't feel anything about it.

"Okay, I look forward to it!" Su Cheng hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Next, it was time to buy a computer.

The Landmark Building was not far from the Su's Group Building, only about one kilometer away.

Therefore, Su Cheng directly had the driver take him to the Landmark Building.

After parking the car, Su Cheng immediately saw the Future Technology Museum that Brother Wu had mentioned.

Su Cheng walked into the store with two bodyguards, only to see that the store was very quiet at this time, with only a young man playing with a computer at the cashier.

To Su Cheng, the computers of this era were too backward, and he didn't have the slightest idea of playing with them.

"Boss, do you have the IBM 5110 here?" Su Cheng came to the cashier and asked directly.

At this time, the young boss looked up and, upon hearing Su Cheng ask about the IBM 5110, directly pointed to the middle of the store and said, "There are three IBM5110s there, but the price is a bit expensive."

"Price is not a problem, come and introduce them to me," Su Cheng said with a smile.

At this time, the young boss also noticed the bodyguards behind Su Cheng and immediately knew that he was not bragging, so he stood up and prepared to introduce them to Su Cheng.

The two came to the location he pointed to, and they saw three identical computers placed on the table.

"I only have three IBM 5110 computers here in total, all of which I imported from the United States last month. Because their configurations are different, the prices are also different," the young boss said, pointing to the computers.

"Just introduce the one with the highest configuration," Su Cheng said.

The latest novels are available on 69shu.com!

"This one has the highest configuration among the three. It has 64k of internal storage and supports bilingual languages. The current price is 150,000 Hong Kong dollars," the young boss said directly.

"So expensive? Xiao Ai, is his price too high?" Su Cheng asked Xiao Ai in his mind.

"Master, the price given by this boss is within a reasonable range. According to the information I have searched, the selling price of the 64k internal storage, bilingual version of the IBM 5110 released this year in the United States is $19,975. Currently, the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and US dollars is approximately 4.9 to 1, which translates to nearly 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Including export taxes, transportation costs, etc., his profit is around 30,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Xiao Ai replied to Su Cheng quickly.

Su Cheng nodded. It seemed that this price was really not expensive. After all, he had to invest 120,000 Hong Kong dollars for each unit, earning only 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, with a gross profit of only 25%.

He didn't expect that in this era, such a trash computer could actually sell for so much.

Su Cheng had the idea of making money again.

That's right, he would directly set up a computer company and bring out computers that were more advanced than the current ones. At that time, wouldn't it be easy to make money?

Of course, these could only be planned after returning from Europe. Now, he would first deal with the affairs of Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd.

So, Su Cheng directly said to the young boss: "Okay, then you can install it for me. I want this computer."

The young boss was a little surprised. Was the transaction completed so easily? He thought he would have to haggle for most of the day.

He was also a man who didn't lack money, born into a wealthy family, but because he was a computer enthusiast, he opened this small shop specializing in selling computers with the support of his parents.

Su Cheng directly took out a check from HSBC Bank, filled in the data of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars on it, signed it, and handed it to the young boss.

The young boss took the check and verified its authenticity.

Thus, this transaction of hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars was completed in a few words.
