1990My Entertainment System

Chapter 150 of "Three Kingdoms Kill" is thriving!
June 21st is the summer solstice, also known as summer's birthday.

He usually doesn't celebrate his birthday; in the past, it would just be a few family members ordering some dishes and having a couple of drinks.

But this time it's in Hong Kong, so Ah Wing and Mui Gu remembered this and insisted that everyone get together to have some fun.

That's when a lot of friends came!
Thirty or forty people from the Hong Kong entertainment industry came, including close associates like Uncle Jim, Choi Lam, Lam Kau, Sister Pomegranate, Andy Lau, Fly Brother, as well as people like Sally Yeh and George Lam, Brigitte Lin and Chan Pak Keung... Even Leon Lai came!

Three of the Four Heavenly Kings have arrived!
Even Joey Wong (Wang Zuxian) came!

Ever since her failed confession in "A Chinese Ghost Story 3", she has been avoiding Xia Tian.

We had been in contact before, back when "Painted Skin: The Yin-Yang King" was filmed. He called Lao Wang, and that was when the ice was broken.

Later, when filming "Ashes of Time", I kept in touch with Ah Rong, and naturally I also had to talk to other friends in the crew.

The meal was served at five tables, attracting more than a dozen paparazzi.

My birthday made headlines?

My friends have been so kind to me, so I should make some plans for summer, right?

Mahjong, karaoke, sauna and massage...

Summer is also a time of worry for my friends.

We can't all be playing mahjong or getting massages, can we? We need to be healthier and more civilized!

So I took out the game "Three Kingdoms Kill"!
The game "Three Kingdoms Kill" has already started selling on Xiaorizi. Thanks to the popularity of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it's become incredibly popular!
In the summer, they even turned the characters from the drama, such as Lu Shuming, Bao Guoan, and Tang Guoqiang, into cartoons and printed them on cards!
That guy had a feeling that he was the ruler of the Three Kingdoms, with a deck of cards in hand!

Moreover, the gameplay is quite mature and it's very popular with young people.

Oh, and the agents over there are even using the slogan "Created by Xia Jun, the Great Man of the Empire"—you know what, it actually has some advertising effect.

Summer doesn't even know what Xiao Ri likes about herself?

What do you like about me? I'll change it, okay?
Meanwhile, "Three Kingdoms Kill" has begun to be widely distributed in China, but it has not yet been sold.

Because in China, as soon as this thing appears, pirated versions are guaranteed to be released within two months.

So we'll stock up first and try to sell as much as possible.

Luckily, there's a printing factory in Pengcheng, and a friend sent over ten sets for Xia Tian to check the quality.

In the summer, take out your "Three Kingdoms Kill" cards and play a few rounds with your friends!
You know what, for many people who don't like mahjong and don't have other forms of entertainment, "Three Kingdoms Kill" is actually quite suitable.

It received unanimous praise from friends in the entertainment industry.

Summer: "When 'Three Kingdoms Kill' is released in Hong Kong in two weeks, remember to put in a good word for me!"

……

After that, I planned to return to Beijing in the summer, since Milan was still pregnant.

My family here thinks about me every day, and it's been three months already...

On the night before they left, the four of them played "Three Kingdoms Kill" at home.

Even though summer is leaving tomorrow, the three of them, including Sister Yun, definitely can't let him off the hook tonight. They're going to use up all the food they need for the next few months in advance!
But it's only six o'clock, we've just finished eating, it's not time to exercise yet!

So, the four of them played the game "Three Kingdoms Kill".

The three of them are quite clever, but how can they play with a seasoned veteran like Xia Tian?
Summer has such great acting and speaking skills~
So, the game went on until the very end.

Wang Fei looked left and right, then said, "Brother, now it's just the two of us left. I suspect I'm the mole!"

The other three were taken aback: Huh?!

Wang Fei's serious and earnest expression made Xia Tian lose confidence.

He flipped up his identification card and exclaimed: "You're the mole? Then what am I?!"
……

Summer took Yong Ge and bodyguard Xiao Chen on a plane back to Yanjing.

Before leaving, he also closed a deal.

Baize Ventures will invest in Newtech, acquiring a 38% stake.

Shinco is the second largest VCD player in China, second only to Vixidi, and it follows a rare technological path.

To break free from the bottleneck of decoding chips supplied by upstream companies of Vishidi (chips costing 40 yuan were sold for 400 yuan), they also collaborated with American companies to develop decoding chips...

Shinco also kept pace with international technological developments and discussed collaborative research and development with Sony on DVD…

Baize Venture Capital invested in Xinke in order to monopolize the future domestic DVD market through another channel!

Of course, that was a few years later; right now, it's still Vichy that's dominating the country.

Annual sales now exceed 6 million!
The entire industrial chain is controlled by Xia Tian and the companies and factories he invested in.

His friends in the summer ate with gusto, their mouths practically dripping with oil, but as for him, nobody knew the exact amount!
He doesn't even know it himself!
Because the profits of a dozen or twenty companies, factories, and sales channels are so dispersed to avoid attracting attention, it is necessary to consult a professional accounting firm to calculate the total revenue.

A conservative estimate would be two or three hundred million, right?

This is just one of Vixidi's projects; there's also the Deer-Shu Walkman!

Are there other projects like "Three Kingdoms Kill" or the Little Genius Learning Machine?
If you include Liren Apparel, Xiaotian Advertising, and Fengming Real Estate together, Xia Tian and her family's annual income... is a bit scary! They've truly become rich first!

……

Yong Ge and Xiao Chen were allowed to leave work first, and then Xia Tian returned home, where Milan and the other two greeted him.

Milan's expression, her eyes, were truly like still waters rippling in autumn.

I had heard that during pregnancy, due to hormonal changes and other factors, libido might be higher, and it seems to be true.

At least that's how it is with rice!
Summer gently held her in her arms and stroked her already protruding belly.

The joy of becoming a father welled up in my heart.

Taking care of a pregnant woman is no easy task!
Especially when the pregnant woman is Mr. Mi... Fortunately, summer isn't for everyone~
For example, serving Mr. Mi a foot bath, massaging his calves, and massaging his abdomen every night is beneficial for the fetus to be in the correct position.

Applying the "Scar Removal Miracle Oil" redeemed from the system shop to the belly can effectively prevent the appearance of stretch marks...

In the days that followed, the household revolved around Mr. Mi.

With her pregnant belly, Boss Mi acted arrogantly and domineeringly. Even Xiao Xu didn't dare to provoke her and could only tell her to "wait" with resentment!
Mr. Mi: "You're not satisfied? If you're not satisfied, then you want one too!"

……

Not long after summer ended, "Three Kingdoms Kill" began selling in most parts of inland China.

The popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" hadn't waned yet, and this is just adding fuel to the fire!

The 300,000 sets of "Three Kingdoms Kill" prepared are actually not enough!
This thing sells for 30 yuan a set in China!
The current average monthly wage is only around 450 yuan, and that's for factory workers.

In other words, it would take a worker two days' wages to buy one set.

This is a card game!

Although it was very well made and exquisite, Xia Tian and her friends never expected it to sell so well!
Now things are really thriving!
Of course, this is the only wave.

This isn't a fast-moving consumer good; there's no possibility of repeated consumption.

Besides, this thing is so expensive and sells so well, pirated versions will appear very soon.

When pirated copies become ten or more yuan a set, genuine copies will no longer sell.

Money is secondary; after all, Xia Tian didn't expect to make money from this—it was initially developed as an IP.

In terms of influence, it's not bad.

Many newspapers and magazines are discussing this card game that originated from the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The game's strategic gameplay, rules, and character abilities have generated considerable discussion.

Sure enough, Fang Xiaoyan came to interview Xia Tian again.

When the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" became a hit, several of the main actors were interviewed by many people.

However, he appears and disappears mysteriously in the summer, and most people can't find him.

In addition, he himself was short on time and didn't have the opportunity to play Sun Ce, so not many people wanted to interview him.

However, the recent surge in popularity of "Three Kingdoms Kill" has once again put it in the eye of the storm.

Fang Xiaoyan, holding a notebook, asked, "What are your thoughts on 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?"

Xia Tian shared his views on the Three Kingdoms period, and also extended his discussion to the Four Great Classical Novels, as well as their significance and role in modern society.

Then Fang Xiaoyan asked Xia Tian for his evaluation of the main characters.

For example, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao!
Back then, before the later trend of supporting Cao Cao and belittling Liu Bei, people still preferred Liu Bei.

And the same is true in summer.

Some people admire Cao Cao, considering him a true hero. But that's a heroic perspective on history, projecting their own image onto Cao Cao.

He never considered that if it were ancient times, he would most likely be one of the people of Xuzhou who were massacred.
They might even end up as military rations!

At this time of summer, she told Fang Xiaoyan a story: "It is said that..."

In his later years, Cao Cao, the King of Wei, often had dreams. Recently, he has been dreaming of someone wielding a Seven-Star Sword approaching his camp.

"Who goes outside the tent? What brings you here?" King Wei exclaimed in surprise.

In a daze, a young man's voice rang out, full of heroic spirit: "I am Cao Cao, the General Who Conquers the West of the Great Han Dynasty, and today I swear to punish the traitors of Han!"

It is:

I often wake up in the middle of the night in fright, suspecting that someone has offered me the knife.

I fear to peek into the bronze mirror's reflection, and I dread to see my own reflection before my bed.

My original aspirations have been lost in the chaos of the world, and my old dreams have been tainted by the dust of time.

Where Luoyang was burned to the ground, can the soul of the western expedition remain?
