My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 983 The Dimensional Reduction Attack That Was Unleashed
Just like how Wei Dong never imagined what making a TV series like "Stories from the Editorial Department" would mean.

He never imagined that the later famous emperors and empresses of the film and television industry would now be just like countless young couples who later drifted to Beijing, humbly bowing and scraping.

Even knowing that this is normal, and that 99% of entrepreneurs start from nothing, this is how it is.

But seeing it still evoked some emotions, and as an ordinary netizen who isn't very familiar with the film and television industry, my first reaction was that these two hadn't raised their son well.

This has led to some concerns about Xiao Cong's future development.

The main surprise now is that the other person is actually filming a music video: "Don't you film movies or TV series?"

Brother Lan quickly replied, "I'm still affiliated with the Sichuan Opera Theatre. I just finished filming a movie with the Sichuan Film Studio and the two of them, so I'm mainly filming corporate promotional videos and music videos in Beijing right now."

The two people he pointed to were among Pingjing's group, and they quickly nodded in agreement.

Clearly, their situation is much better than that of the young couple from the Southwest, even though his girlfriend had just participated in the filming of "Dream of the Red Chamber" as Sister Feng.

It remains a rootless, bottomless duckweed.

Wei Dong didn't object to Qing Jie's decision to bring her own team, and it even allowed Yu Xiaoqiu to shift her focus to college employment. So when he saw that the secretary had come over to urge him to leave, he was surprised.

He quickly whispered to Lan Ge, "Why make music videos? Go make TV dramas, like those about Heshen and Ji Xiaolan, Prime Minister Liu Luoguo, or Emperor Kangxi's incognito visits. These are fictionalized historical stories, adapted from folk tales. People will definitely love watching them. Make a script and come to me for investment... Hmm, for now, you should make two commercials for Cherokee and Dodge, with a budget of about 100,000. Help me prepare the application report."

He said the second half of the sentence to Sister Qing, and also gave her a wink, signaling her to be a little more discreet with her secretary.

Sister Su is quite possessive of her food; she'd probably dare to scratch Sister Qing's face.

Before Lan Ge could finish expressing his surprise, he nodded to Feng Ge and his group, especially the two who had just worked with Lan Ge on a movie, and then turned to greet his secretary: "We're done talking, let's go."

Women do have a sixth sense, and Yu Xiaoqiu wondered, "Don't people in the film and television industry need me to make contacts?"

Wei Dong advised, "Sister Qing has some ideas about car marketing, let her give it a try. Others want to film some TV dramas, you can keep an eye on that when you come back, but your focus should definitely be on employment in universities. This time you're in Hong Kong, check out the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and also pay attention to universities in North America..."

The little girl's attention was just drawn away, and she was jumping around with anticipation.

Therefore, as the scale grows, conflicts of interest among the various factions within the organization become inevitable.

Even with Wei Dong's efforts to simplify things as much as possible, he still couldn't withstand various powerful figures crossing the line.

For example, Sister Qing, Xiong Guoming, and Qin Yuye.

To make things a little better for his wife, he started to train himself on the flight to Hong Kong: "I'll stay for two days at Citibank, so I won't get in Third Sister's way, and I'll help you get rid of the foreign businessmen and secretary."

Wei Dong retorted, "Tell the administrative director that Asia Television doesn't produce many dramas these days. We can coordinate with Sister Qing's team for this part of the staff. They've been filming some mainland dramas recently, so we can learn from each other's strengths."

Qin Yuye peeked at the two beauties over there: "How about I switch seats with Vivian?"

Wei Dong sighed and closed his eyes: "Save your breath, I don't have these bad habits."

Qin Yuye lifted the armrest of the seat and gently leaned against his chest: "Looking at your ingenious ideas and inspirations, you were able to handle such a big scene. I thought you should add more color to stimulate your inspiration. I can only marvel at you and feel sorry for you at the same time. Relax, isn't it all just such complicated calculations?"

This made Wei Dong laugh. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least the emotional value was there. He relaxed and leaned against her, putting his arm around her shoulder and patting her gently, like he was coaxing a child to sleep.

I'm used to coaxing my children like this at home.

Qin Yuye indeed had a slight smile on his lips and closed his eyes, sleeping the entire time.

The CEO, who had been married and divorced several times, must have also observed the interactions between this young couple.

He also paid special attention to the female assistant, whose beauty transcended racial norms, and who seemed to have no romantic relationship with the young boss.

I thought the Eastern legend of polygamy was a thing of the past.

Unexpectedly, just as they exited the Hong Kong airport, a young woman rushed into Rang Weidong's arms, and Rang's wife even smiled and pulled her female assistant aside to lead the foreign guest away.

Is this really harmonious?

The president also gained a new level of understanding of the Chinese people's talent for handling and resolving various conflicts.

Wei Dong seemed to feel a sense of relief coming to Hong Kong, and tears welled up in his eyes. He wondered, "You're usually away on business trips for months at a time, why are you so excited? Is everything alright?"

Shen Laosan was about to burst into tears, not even knowing why, but he hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to wrestle her together.

Wei Dong had no choice but to hold her helplessly, gently patting and coaxing her, signaling everyone to leave first.

Finally, he gave the middle finger to his two younger brothers who were hiding in a corner of the crowd watching the show.

Qin Yuye made a face and guided the foreign guests to the car before complaining to the two of them: "See? Even the foreign business tycoons don't care what they think. Third Sister is the master's favorite. Don't offend her. She's the apple of his eye."

Zou Huimin quietly peeked out.

Yu Xiaoqiu also shared her gossip: "Back then, it was my third sister who accompanied him to Pingjing to conquer the world. She didn't even know you yet."

He immediately got a scolding from his wife, who pinched his cheek.

This attracted many cameras to take pictures.

After all, the Chrysler executives walked out with the air of high-ranking foreigners, clearly not ordinary people. The reporters waiting at the airport were certainly following them closely, and some even used microphones to ask their wives for information.

Qin Yuye casually introduced himself: "We just signed a multi-million dollar order with Chrysler in mainland China. In the future, we will focus on Hong Kong and Shenzhen as our core markets to vigorously expand into the Southeast Asian market. We welcome all kinds of car dealers and distributors to contact us to discuss opportunities." The business in Hong Kong mainly involves acting as an agent for European and American companies and engaging in foreign trade with mainland China.

Backed by the vast mainland market, they controlled this small bottleneck, and from watches to machinery, from pharmaceuticals to chemical raw materials, they squeezed every last penny from everything that came in and out.

With a scale of three thousand counties and cities, supporting the domestic and foreign trade of a single city would naturally be incredibly lucrative.

The real estate market is simply driven up by speculation and inflated prices because there is too much local capital.

Business people are still primarily looking for these kinds of agency opportunities.

They flocked there that very night.

However, the president and the others waited until Wei Dong drove Dan over before they could appreciate the amazing sound of the CD player.

In just a few days, audiophiles and technical experts from the TV station scoured the Hong Kong market for the best car CD players, amplifiers, power amplifiers, and wiring harnesses to modify the entire Dynaudio car audio system.

Hong Kong has a long tradition in this regard, advocating European and American HiFi audio technology while keeping up with the advantages of Japanese equipment.

So even though CD player heads are still extremely rare on the market, you can still find them.

You can even fly directly to Tokyo to shop.

But the cost is truly staggering.

This set cost me around ten thousand Hong Kong dollars!

Even setting aside those extravagant top-of-the-line audio components, Soni's head unit still costs over two thousand US dollars!

But sitting in the Dynaudio cabin, which already boasts top-notch sound insulation and vibration damping.

See how the suction head captures a Karajan version of the Ninth Symphony.

Listening to the crystal-clear sound of CDs, I began to accompany the timeless classics as they resonated throughout the luxurious car.

At their age, CEOs and others should be used to the crackling sound of vinyl records;

Those of Wei Dong's generation were just beginning to experience the hissing sound of cassette tape players.
Listening to them individually might not make much of a difference.

Even a country bumpkin listening to records or tapes for the first time might think it's like listening to heavenly music, it's amazing!

But once you compare them to CDs, you'll realize those two are garbage.

Aside from those who might emphasize sentimentality, there's no other comparison!
For Wei Dong, a country bumpkin who had barely heard classical music in both his lives, the moment he sat in the driver's seat and heard an ensemble symphony, he was a little impatient. What was this stuff? It sounded terrifying...

But if you can be patient for a minute at most, the expert deliberately paused the Ninth Symphony at this stage, and the horn solo began to change abruptly from noisy to quiet, deep and resonant. During this time, other flutes and violins came to disturb the music, but they could not disrupt this sense of tranquility.

Even Wei Dong couldn't help but squint.

Four CEOs were crammed into the back seat, and the president in the passenger seat had already closed his eyes and was gently shaking his head.

Only when the French horns seemed to fade to almost nothing did the majestic symphony suddenly rise, followed by the choir joining in...

Ode to Joy!

This is a clip from "Ode to Joy" that even a security guard with a broken hand knows!
La la, la la, la... la la...

The musical experience, which stirred his entire blood and stirred his emotions, gave Wei Dong goosebumps all over his body, a tingling, electric-like sensation.

He couldn't help but move his hand to the rhythm, his lips trembling.

The highs are sweet, the mids are accurate, and the lows are deep; in short, it's crystal clear!
As the music ended, the group of people opened their eyes, looking disappointed. They all had a "what the hell" look on their faces. What were those car stereos they had before?

Actually, people in Europe and America have been into car audio systems for many years.

North America is the birthplace of this field, and there are countless gear enthusiasts here.

But the entry of CDs into the market was a game-changer.

Equipment purchases costing thousands of dollars are simply not on the list of major car manufacturers that produce in large quantities.

Are you kidding me? A 2.0 engine costs only a little over two hundred dollars, but what engine head costs over two thousand dollars?
The car only sells for six to eight thousand dollars, and the entire sound system is only worth that much?

Therefore, this type of equipment will only appear in the aftermarket, not in vehicle manufacturers, or what we now call OEMs.

The final assembly plant, where suppliers from other stages integrate the components, is the main unit manufacturer.

It describes the process as similar to assembling a computer tower later on.

The audio experience in mass-produced cars is just about getting some sound out.

Now, Wei Dong has come up with a completely new solution: we can reduce the cost of HiFi audio equipment to a few hundred dollars, and then offset those costs by shifting production to the mainland.

With one entry and one exit, the car becomes cheaper, yet it boasts such a high-fidelity sound system that blows everything else away. Is this a worthwhile investment?
The CEOs of Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Plymouth all said it was a very promising venture!
