In an old tenement building in Wan Chai, Wu Yusen was drinking at home when he heard a knock on the door. When he went to open the door in a daze, he saw Wei Zai standing outside the door.

Old Wu turned around calmly and said, "Come in and sit wherever you want."

Liang Chaowei quickly walked in with a bunch of wine and food and closed the door, "Director Wu, (Blood on the Street) box office hit the streets, non-war crimes, all caused by piracy, you have to cheer up."

"I also read the ATV report before that the 45-building Watsons supermarket jointly built by Li Sheng's Changshi Group and Aimego's fan Liu was fined 500 million for tax evasion."

"And Watsons Cinemas over there is already the largest source of piracy in the Asian film industry and is destroying our market."

"This is all Bai Xiang's fault. Who knew the employees there have such bad ethics and are so shameless?"

Wu Yusen's eyes lit up, "Is there such news?"

While he was talking, he decisively turned on the TV. Well, after checking several channels, he found that there was no news about Wei Zai. He also knew that the news had finished...

Lao Wu quickly said, "Is there any relevant news in the print media? I've invested a total of 90 million Hong Kong dollars, but I just won more than 7 million at the box office on Hong Kong Island. Can you blame me?"

"ATV still has a conscience, it's all a piracy attack!"

The reason is this. The VCD discs that later entered the video studio or the homes of wealthy citizens did not bring much profit to the Li family because piracy was rampant.

If there are too many pirated copies, it will naturally be difficult to make money from genuine ones.

But that's all because Akai took the initiative to send it to Baixiang, so that the unscrupulous practitioners on Baixiang's side could cause big troubles.

Can you blame him? It's all Akai's fault.

The problem is that after the big hit, for people who only look at investment and box office data, they think that Lao Wu is incompetent and will not cooperate with him anymore.

He can't find the money to talk about making a new movie.

At this stage, Wu Yusen has no blackout period, nor is it said that the ten-year employment contract held by Xiang Laoshi can only be used to make movies for Yongsheng. The last 10 million buyout contract was immediately voided.

The new contract means that he needs to make ten movies for Li Jiakai within ten years, but in addition, he is also free to accept movie scripts from outside. Even if he makes a movie for Li Jiakai, he will still get the director's salary, and the salary will also increase accordingly.

Market prices rise.

It is a very serious business cooperation contract.

But last year's summer show (The Bloody Two) was so exaggerated that you could say it was a crime of non-war. Normal investors would not play with him again, and that's as it should be.

Ah Wei put down the food and wine and took the initiative to pour wine for Lao Wu, "Director Wu, you have to cheer up. There are no companies outside looking for you. This is temporary. When the Li family takes the blame, it was originally their fault.

disaster."

"Someday the outside world will understand and understand you."

Ah Wei has always been relatively introverted and doesn't like to flatter anyone. At this stage, he really hopes that Lao Wu will continue to take care of him.

There is no way, after so many years, the film industry has tested the waters again and again, that is, Wu Yusen's "The Bloody Heroes" gave him an opportunity to act. Although he was very good at acting in the movie, he was greatly suppressed by Zhang Xueyou.

awful.

But the local box office of Hong Kong Island is more than 7 million, which is also the highest-grossing work of his ever since he started acting... In the television industry? He is still a well-deserved pillar of TVB and the most popular niche actor, but he only earns thousands of dollars from TVB.

Monthly salary.

I have become familiar with Lao Wu, so naturally I still want to follow Lao Wu to continue to eat and make a fortune.

While the two were drinking, eating, and communicating, there was a knock on the door again. When Wei Zai quickly went to open the door, he found two strange men and women standing outside the door. Old Wu looked at it with drunken eyes and asked curiously.

,"who are you?"

The middle-aged man outside the door bowed quickly and said, "Good morning, Director Wu. I am Yamazaki. I belong to the Japanese film and television industry. This is Iijima Xiaoai. Xiaoai, please say hello to Director Wu."

“Excuse me, who is this??”

The man who calls himself Yamazaki speaks a slightly awkward Cantonese, but communication is no problem.

And the Iijima-chan he introduced was a pretty and cute girl in her early 20s. She could speak a string of Japanese words when she opened her mouth.

Yamazaki then slapped his forehead, "Sorry, Xiao Ai can't speak Cantonese and Mandarin yet. She just said hello to Director Wu. By the way, I'm here on behalf of the company this time. I want to ask Director Wu to make an international movie for us."

Blockbuster..."

Upon hearing this, Lao Wu's eyes lit up, "Who is your company??"

Yamazaki walked in and quickly explained that their company is based in Tokyo and has also opened a branch next to Hollywood in North America, with the intention of going global.

Although it is far less exaggerated and aggressive than Sony's purchase of Columbia Pictures, they still want to make some modern metropolitan gun battle action movies...

Ai Iijima is one of the most promising female artists their company has collected, along with Mai Asakura, Hitomi Shiraishi and other outstanding and promising female artists.

Now their film and television group is not short of funds, nor is it short of female artists, but it is short of big directors and big stars to join.

As Yamazaki explained, Wu Yusen's eyes became brighter and brighter. Although he drank a little too much, it did not hinder his mental high. Ah Wei was a little excited after hearing this and took the initiative to pour wine for Mr. Yamazaki.

However, this aspect still depends on Xiao Ai. Although Iijima Xiao Ai does not understand Cantonese, it does not prevent her from being a competent wine pouring girl.

The few of them just drank wine and ate side dishes, and the more they chatted, the happier they became. The main reason was that Yamazaki kept supporting Lao Wu, which made him let go of the emotions that had been accumulated for many years and let out a lot.

Even Lao Wu started to beam with joy.

After drinking more, Yamazaki took out the contract for the movie. Wei Zai was not too drunk yet, so he instinctively felt that it was not appropriate to sign the contract under such circumstances? Director Wu had been tricked by Xiang Laoshi before.

once?

Before he could say anything, Ai Iijima spoke softly in a soft voice that he couldn't understand, and raised and lowered his hands, which fascinated Awei and diverted his attention.

You can't say how beautiful and charming the 21-year-old Iijima is, and Awei is not so ignorant and discerning. Isn't this...drinking? It's easy for people to get drunk after drinking.

……………………

A few days later, Kowloon Tong is adjacent to Shek Kip Mei Park.

Zhao Donghuai took Zhou Huimin and Azhen to a newly constructed and renovated five-storey commercial building. After walking around for a while, he nodded with a smile and said, "A total of five buildings form a building complex, which is called Wuyue Group."

Bar."

"Starting from today, we can recruit professional managers to join us and gradually arrange the new group."

Amin asked curiously, "Is this the Internet era you are talking about?"

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Yes, after several years of preparation, we chose this land to build a building. Isn't it just to start the Internet era? Taishan Building will open a Taishan Group and position itself as an Internet search engine."

“Songshan Building is designed as a portal website that integrates email, news push, and website navigation.”

"Hengshan Building opened the Hengshan Group, which sells books and music albums online."

"Let these three groups open first, and we will talk about the remaining Liangyue Building later."

It was already the end of March 1993, and Zhao Donghuai would never forget that the original track was in April 1994, that is, next year, Yang Zhiyuan and David founded Yahoo in North America. It was listed in 1996, and the total market value of the stock was more than 500 million US dollars.

Also in 1994, Jeff, a young and promising guy who had become an upstart on Wall Street before the age of 30, resigned directly to start the Amazon e-commerce group.

So Wuyue Group is positioned in the Asian Internet market? Regardless of the year it opens, the group headquarters must be built several years in advance. This batch of Wuyue buildings has been built for three years.

The five 33-storey commercial buildings targeted by Wuyue are adjacent to the Shek Kip Mei Park with a overlooking area of ​​120 acres. They have a good environment and are only a few minutes' walk from the Kowloon Tong MTR station...

Across the main road is the Kowloon Tong Wanjia Comprehensive Supermarket Branch, and next to Wanjia is the Ko Wo Old Street Park.

Across the road is Taoyuan Street Playground.

It can be said that it is a land surrounded by parks and amusement parks in the center of a metropolitan area. This land... was originally used by the City University of Hong Kong as a campus in 1995.

What makes it the main campus is a good location and beautiful scenery.

Being used by Zhao Donghuai to build the headquarters of Wuyue Group in advance is definitely not a loss. His planned Dongyue Taishan Group is to compete with Google and Du Niang, and a search engine is a super market.

Songshan Group promotes email and news websites, etc., and integrates the functions of portal websites such as NetEase.

Hengshan is aimed at e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.

As for Facebook, Big Penguin, Kingsoft Anti-Virus, 360, etc.? Then we still have to wait and wait for the further development of technology to establish Huashan and Hengshan new groups.

Hong Kong Telecommunications Group was taken over by him in 1988. Cable phone, mobile, Internet promotion, etc., also promoted by Zhao Donghuai, have long entered the optical fiber transmission level. That pony could only be so cheerful a few years ago.

Addicted to the Internet and hooking up with BBS.

Whether it is Yahoo or Amazon, they were established in 1994 and attracted countless users at every turn because since 1990, the single-mode optical fiber communication system has matured and entered the commercial stage, with a transmission efficiency of 565mb/s.

The telecommunications group captured by Zhao Donghuai started in the 1990s to lay optical fiber all over Hong Kong. It did spend a lot of money, but he really didn't lack that little money... A leek garden as big as an island country was used all over the world in the 1980s and 1990s.

The largest leek garden.

After several profits worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars ended, laying fiber optic cables all over Hong Kong is really not a big deal.

At this stage, Zhao Donghuai can still guarantee that Hong Kong Haowan's Internet speed can keep up with the world's top standards. In one or two years, his laptop will be launched on the market. What is the market and prospect then?

As for the opening of the three major groups of Taishan, Songshan and Hengshan? There is no need to directly recruit talents like Yang Zhiyuan. After all, he knows the future direction of technology and how the Internet giants develop and plan.

Then we just need to dig and recruit all kinds of skilled coders.

He is also waiting to invest in Yahoo and Amazon next year or the year after.

At present, these five 33-story buildings stand like five mountains. The top two floors are Zhao Donghuai's own large office and his home where he can rest and live freely...

Starting from the 31st floor downwards, this is where the CEOs and CFOs of the future workplace will work.

The next moment, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said to Azhen, "The BBS within our large group will officially be renamed Songshan Forum and be fully open to Hong Kong Haowan."

"The server should be made bigger and more capable to withstand it."

In the past, Zhao's BBS was really only circulated within various groups, including Yaxi University. With the advent of the new Internet era in Hong Kong, ordinary people and ordinary tourists can also browse BBS if they want.
