We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#261 - The fire has come to the United States

After the meeting, Su Cheng stayed at the company and continued chatting with Gordon Moore and others for a long time, giving Intel some suggestions for its future development, before leaving the company.

Although Su Cheng felt a sense of accomplishment in holding the position of chairman of Intel, he thought about it and realized it was just so-so.

After all, today's Intel is still just a developing semiconductor company, not the future world chip giant.

In this world, due to Su Cheng's appearance, whether Intel can reach the level of that Intel in another world is still unknown.

After leaving Intel, Su Cheng directly asked the driver to drive back to downtown San Francisco.

Returning to the hotel in San Francisco, it was only a little after 5 p.m., still early, so Su Cheng decided to take Zhang Qizheng and others out for a stroll.

The destination was simple: Chinatown, San Francisco!

San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest in the western United States, comparable to New York's Chinatown, with its center at the intersection of Grant Avenue and California Street, where nearly 100,000 Chinese live.

When Su Cheng arrived in Chinatown, he found that everything written and heard was in Chinese, and everything seen was in traditional Chinese style, like a small China. If it weren't for the foreign tourists everywhere on the street, Su Cheng would have thought he was in Hong Kong.

San Francisco's Chinatown still retains traditional cuisine, architecture, and clothing, allowing tourists to enjoy the colorful Chinese culture.

"Walking here feels like we've returned to Hong Kong," Zhang Qizheng couldn't help but say.

"Everyone can move freely. After 6:30, we'll meet at the Ban Yue Restaurant in front. Tonight's dinner will be there," Su Cheng said with a smile, seeing everyone eager to move.

He knew that everyone would definitely want to take a tour since they had come all the way here. Following him would definitely not be as enjoyable, so it would be better to let them do their own thing.

"Coincidentally, I have a relative in Chinatown who, according to seniority, should be my aunt. I'll go visit her. If I haven't arrived at Ban Yue Restaurant by 6:30, it means I might be eating at my aunt's place, so boss, you don't have to wait for me," Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.

"Okay, then everyone is free to do as they please," Su Cheng nodded and said.

After everyone left, Su Cheng took a few bodyguards in plain clothes and wandered through the streets and alleys of Chinatown.

After walking for about half an hour, Su Cheng suddenly discovered a rather interesting shop in a small alley.

"Hong Kong Bookstore!"

The bookstore's storefront was not large, and the interior was only about 60 or 70 square meters, but the books were arranged in large quantities.

There weren't many customers inside, but there were still a few. Su Cheng glanced over and knew without counting that there were about a dozen customers here.

A little inside the entrance was the bookstore's cashier counter, where an old man in his sixties was sitting, reading a book. Looking at the title, it was actually Su Cheng's "A Step into the Past."

"A Step into the Past" had already started publishing books when the serialization was still hundreds of thousands of words in.

However, Su Cheng felt surprised to see his own novel here in San Francisco, on the east coast of the Pacific.

"Boss, are you from Hong Kong?" Su Cheng tried asking the old man in Hong Kong dialect.

"Yes, young man, are you also from Hong Kong?" At this time, the old man looked up and asked in surprise.

"Yes, I came here from Hong Kong for tourism..." Su Cheng was bored, so he chatted with the old man.

It turned out that the old man was originally a native of Hong Kong, with his home in Kowloon and the New Territories. More than ten years ago, his son graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, and stayed in Silicon Valley to work. Later, he started a family here, and a few years ago, he brought his parents over to live with him.

The old man was a restless person. He originally ran a bookstore in Hong Kong. Being here was too boring, so he rented a shop in Chinatown and started a bookstore.

The books in the bookstore were all purchased from Hong Kong and delivered by regular freighters.

"Besides 'A Step into the Past,' what other books from Chivalrous Publishing are sold here?" Su Cheng asked curiously.

Chivalrous Publishing is the publishing house under Chivalrous Literature Company. As a novel serialized in "Chivalrous Literature News," "A Step into the Past" was naturally published by Chivalrous Publishing.

"Yes, look behind you. There are several comic magazines, all published by Chivalrous Publishing. They sell very well and are especially popular among young people, but I, an old man, don't like to read that stuff, so I don't know what's so good about them," The old man heard Su Cheng's words and pointed to a bookshelf not far behind Su Cheng.

There, a small area was marked off: the comics area.

The area occupied was not large and was not conspicuous in the bookstore.

However, when Su Cheng looked over there, he discovered his own comic magazines.

At this time, next to the comic bookshelf, there were four or five teenage Chinese youths, holding magazines and reading with relish.

After a while, someone picked up several comic magazines and came to the old man to check out.

Su Cheng looked at what he was holding: "Manman's Life Road," "Little Cartoonist," "Manke Weekend," and "Comic World."

Unsurprisingly, all the magazines were published by Chivalrous Publishing.

Moreover, the comics inside were all those comics provided by Su Cheng.

In addition to "Manman's Life Road," which Su Cheng was familiar with, the other magazines were newly created by Chivalrous Company later.

After all, each of the comics provided by Su Cheng was enough to support the sales of a magazine.

These four magazines serialized "Dragon Ball," "Detective Conan," "Naruto," and "Digimon."

Originally, "Dragon Ball" and "Detective Conan" were serialized together in "Manman's Life Road," but now "Detective Conan" has been spun off and is serialized in the newly launched "Little Cartoonist."

"Little handsome guy, are these comics good?" Su Cheng tried asking a teenager who was checking out in Chinese.

"Of course they're good. You don't know how popular these comics are in our Chinese school. They're really good. I heard that they're comics drawn by our own Chinese people, and they're no worse than Japanese manga. It's a pity that the serialization is too slow. Only one episode comes out a week, and I have many white and black friends who want to read them, but unfortunately, these comics haven't been released in English yet," The teenager was enthusiastic when he was called a little handsome guy.

Su Cheng didn't expect that these comics had become so popular in the United States in such a short period of time.
