1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 218 Return to Hong Kong
1984, October issue.

In the golden autumn of October, the Academy of Sciences welcomed a group of "uninvited guests" in suits and ties.

Under the organization and leadership of relevant leaders of the Academy of Sciences, the Hong Kong compatriots headed by Zhai Yuan visited various projects developed in the Academy's laboratories and had cordial and friendly exchanges with on-site professionals. The participants from the two places hugged each other tightly like pomegranate seeds, as close as a family and integrated with each other.

Mr. Zhai Yuan, a well-known Hong Kong entrepreneur, said that we must fully implement and speed up the construction of a modern science and technology industry, focus on the layout of future cutting-edge product fields, blow the clarion call for progress from experiment to marketization, so as to be able to withstand tests and tribulations and be invincible, and then promote scientific research exchanges between the two places, set the direction, plan for the long term, and lay out the overall situation, learn the unique skills of Western industry, and implement the classified policy of "learning from the strengths of the barbarians to defeat the barbarians".

As the visit came to an end, Mr. Zhai Yuan sincerely sighed: "Compared with the mainland, Hong Kong's industrial development is like a frog in a well. I hope that with your help, our factories on the other side of the strait can continue to work hard and take bigger steps."

At the end of the visit, Mr. Zhai Yuan felt deeply that the scientific research undertakings of the motherland were hard-won, and donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars to the Academy of Sciences in his personal name to establish a special scientific research fund.

…………

"Did I say that much that day?"

Zhai Yuan was sitting on the return train, holding a copy of the Yanjing Daily in his hand, and asked Guan Weiming and others who were accompanying him.

Guan Weiming said: "I don't know. You were communicating with the leaders, and we were only responsible for visiting the laboratory. How would we know what you said?"

Zhai Yuan thought to himself, okay, no matter what, the purpose of coming to the mainland this time has been achieved.

Ye Yuqing sat next to Zhai Yuan and took the newspaper and took a look at it.

The newspaper published a photo of Zhai Yuan and several leaders of the Academy of Sciences, in which they were holding up an enlarged check for 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

She asked in confusion: "Idol, shouldn't this donation be made in the name of your 1024 Entertainment or Company? And you can also do some advertising at the same time."

Zhai Yuan glanced at the back of the train and said, "That won't work. What if the company goes public in the future?"

The connection between the two rear carriages of a train.

Tao Zongyi was gathering with several professionals from the Academy of Sciences, smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Zhai Yuan looking at them, several people smiled at him nervously.

These people are experts in the field of optical disks who were carefully selected by Guan Weiming and three Japanese people at the Academy of Sciences.

But in fact, what they were researching at that time was not systematic optical disc technology. For example, Professor Tao Zongyi from Peking University and Tsinghua University was currently making breakthroughs in international optical storage technology. Another professor named Zheng was exploring the processing of new "optical head" lenses that rotated thousands of times per minute. The rest of them also had their own strengths, and only by combining them could they complete the various research directions of VCD and optical discs.

In the Academy of Sciences, these people have more or less made certain achievements in their respective fields. The biggest problem is that the project funds are insufficient and follow-up work cannot be carried out.

As long as they make up for this shortcoming, it will only be a matter of time before they catch up with the Sony trio that Zhai Yuan hired from Japan at high salaries in terms of technology.

It just so happens that Zhai Yuan is not short of money now.

It is no exaggeration to say that Natural Selection is making a fortune today.

Every day when I wake up, I find millions of tax-free cash in my account.

Tao Zongyi asked for 200,000 yuan in research and development funds. Zhai Yuan approved 400,000 yuan first. He needed the latest machines and directly contacted merchants in America, West Germany, and Japan to deliver the goods to his door.

The Batumi embargo does not extend to Hong Kong, and as long as the capitalists can raise the price, they will find ways to circumvent the embargo and deliver the goods to customers.

When the famous Toshiba heard that the Soviet Union was going to spend 500 million US dollars to buy its own CNC machine tools, it directly sent technicians to install them. When they arrived, they were surprised to find that there were a group of Norwegians helping the other side to provide artillery automatic aiming computers, and a group of French people helping the other side to assemble submarine propellers...

"I am bringing these mainland friends back to Hong Kong this time. It is almost time to put the expansion of our factory in Yuen Long on the agenda."

Zhai Yuan nodded to Tao Zongyi and the others, then looked at Guan Weiming who was sitting opposite him: "The current factory building is almost the same as a laboratory and cannot support a production line."

Guan Weiming nodded and said, "We have roughly measured and estimated before that to build a complete factory, the building area must be at least 20,000 square meters. If the production line is expanded in the future, the area will only be more."

Twenty thousand square meters is already a very conservative estimate by Guan Weiming. Once VCDs and optical discs are released, the scale of production will undoubtedly be huge. When public facilities such as employee dormitories, parking lots, and roads are added, the land use will definitely be a giant.

The investment in tens of thousands of square meters of industrial land would be counted in billions.

It’s different in the past.

Once upon a time, when companies like Hong Kong Electric, CLP Power, Kowloon Motor Bus and Star Ferry wanted to acquire land, they could get a large piece of land for just a few dollars. The Governor of Hong Kong was eager to sell the land at a low price to allow these rich guys to play with real estate. The only requirement was that they must import buses, steel and ferries from designated British companies.

If you want to buy land now, you can only spend real money.

Zhai Yuan thought of the many things that were to come and rubbed his brows: "I'll figure out the factory's affairs. When we return to Hong Kong, you will be responsible for helping me entertain the friends from the mainland. I have other things to deal with."

…………

On the afternoon of the 8th, the train stopped in Luohu District.

Zhai Yuan and his group walked out of the platform and crossed the bridge. Several special cars had already stopped in front of the port checkpoint.

After saying a brief farewell to Xia Meng and the others, Zhai Yuan got into the pickup truck brought by Satellite and asked Guan Weiming to lead Tao Zongyi and the others directly to the Yuen Long factory, while he went to Jiuyi Entertainment.

In the car, Zhai Yuan called Ye Zhiming: "I'm back, see you later."

Ye Zhiming said: "Send Ah Qing home first, and I will discuss the rest with you later."

Zhai Yuan smiled and said yes, then asked Wei Xing to send Ye Yuqing back to the Repulse Bay Villa first, and then turned around and rushed back to Jiuyi Entertainment.

after an hour.

The pickup truck stopped downstairs of Jiuyi Entertainment Company. Zhai Yuan sat in the car, looking at the familiar company gate, and said with emotion: "Fellow villagers! I, Hu Hansan, am back again! If anyone owes me a debt, I will settle it one by one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground suddenly rang in his ears.

In the rearview mirror, a heavy truck seemed to be driving out of control and hit the back of the pickup truck hard from behind.

"I lost it!"

Zhai Yuan's forehead hit the front seat heavily. Satellite reacted extremely quickly, starting the pickup truck and driving forward, breaking free from the truck's second close contact.

Seeing the pickup truck driving away, the truck driver slammed the steering wheel to turn the car around and then crashed into the glass door of the Jiuyi Entertainment office building.

Then the car door opened and the driver jumped out of the car. Wearing sunglasses, a mask and a hat, with his collar turned up, he rushed into the chaotic crowd and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Almost at the same time.

Five theaters with signs 1024 all suffered gate crashes. The criminals drove their cars into the theater doors, smashing them, and splashed red paint on the theater door lintels, which looked shocking.

During the entire process, all the perpetrators remained silent, were tightly wrapped, and had no clue about their identities or backgrounds.

As soon as Zhai Yuan was admitted to the hospital, rumors quickly spread everywhere.

'Breaking news! 1024 Cinema owner Zhai Yuan was involved in a car accident, and his theaters were hit by unknown persons and sprayed with oil, which may be related to gang feuds! '

In an instant, Zhai Yuan's fan club was excited.

Hundreds of theater members surrounded the areas covering the five theaters and held up banners demanding that the murderer be arrested.

Meanwhile, in the hospital ward.

Zhai Yuan was lying on the hospital bed, and Deng Leling was holding a boiled egg and gently applying it to the red and swollen area on his forehead.

Zhai Yuan asked: "What's the situation outside now?"

Tang Lok Ling said: "Chen Jiale just called me and he is organizing people to put pressure on the police. The celebrities in your company have also spoken out to condemn it, but it will not be published in the newspapers soon."

After all, it is the era of print media, and news dissemination is still too slow.

Zhai Yuan took an apple and took a big bite: "Axe Jun, you bit your mother! Are you still alive this time?"

After saying that, he rubbed his red and swollen forehead and cursed again: "Ye Zhiming's plop is definitely a personal vendetta. It's not in the script that he hit me! Damn it! Brother's debt must be paid by sister, just wait!"

Footsteps were heard in the corridor outside.

Shen Wei knocked on the door and coughed: "Boss, the police officer is here to visit you."

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yuan hurriedly grabbed the bandage at hand and, with the help of Deng Leling, wrapped it around his head.

"is this okay?"

"can!"

"Go and open the door."

Deng Leling went forward and opened the door. There were already seven or eight policemen with different titles standing in the corridor outside.

The two senior inspectors were welcomed into the ward. They sat in front of Zhai Yuan's bed with smiles on their faces and asked about his injuries with concern.

Zhai Yuan smiled weakly: "I'm sorry, Sirs, the doctor said that I suffered a head injury and need to rest. I may not be able to help you record your statement for the time being."

One of the senior inspectors smiled and said it was okay: "We failed in this matter, but now we have another matter that we would like to ask Mr. Zhai for help with."

Seeing Zhai Yuan's puzzled expression, another senior inspector said in embarrassment: "After Mr. Zhai was injured, all the audiences in your theater took to the streets and surrounded the police station to demand a solution to the case. Of course, our police will do our best to solve this case, but there is no point in letting citizens take to the streets to disrupt order..."

Shen Wei reminded from the side: "Sir, this matter seems to have nothing to do with my boss."

"Yes, yes, I completely understand." The senior inspector nodded repeatedly and said with an apologetic smile, "But if Mr. Zhai is willing to come forward now and help calm everyone down and evacuate the citizens, I think a lot of unnecessary conflicts can be avoided."

Zhai Yuan covered his mouth, frowned, and coughed a few times: "Why is it so chaotic outside when I just finished a few tests?"

He leaned against the bed, and Deng Leling hurriedly helped him up, saying in a reproachful tone, "The doctor told you to rest..."

Zhai Yuan waved at her and forced a smile at the two senior inspectors: "Sir, let's set off immediately."

The inspector looked at the loose hospital gown on him and reminded him, "Mr. Zhai, why don't you change your clothes first?"

With the help of Deng Leling, Zhai Yuan put on his slippers and said helplessly, "Sir, we are going to put out a fire now, why are we changing clothes? Let's go."
