Li Wenbin certainly dared not refuse in the slightest.

He clearly saw his father's unusually serious expression; if he dared to say no at this moment, he would be banished to guard the pond.

Li Wenbin also understood that this was actually his father, Li Shutang, carefully paving the way for him.

Hopefully, he can expand his network and make his future career in the police force smoother.

When he finally arrived at the holiday home and saw Huang Shitong, Cai Yuanqi, and Raymond, he felt both surprised and somewhat enlightened.

Huang Shitong was his cousin, Cai Yuanqi was his father's most trusted confidant, and Lei Meng was Lei Hao's cousin.

In a sense, it is indeed only natural that these three people would be here.

Meanwhile, Lin Yaodong, Jimmy, and Han Bin, accompanied by Dongguanzi, finally arrived at the Qingshan Avenue holiday home.

For them, this was the first time in their lives that they had attended such an important shareholders' meeting of the Lei Group, and they couldn't help but feel a mix of novelty and nervousness.

Lin Yaodong and Han Bin are recent members of Lei's Group, while Jimmy had been managing affairs in Pengcheng before, but was specially recalled by Lei Hao this time.

Because the next steps for factory site selection and construction will require Jimmy to personally travel to Shenzhen after the meeting to make preparations.

After Lin Yaodong and Han Bin arrived at the scene, Dongguanzi began to quietly introduce each of the important figures present to them.

This included the commander of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) of the Hong Kong Police Force, a prominent second-in-command of the Landlords Association who controlled the financial lifeline of Hong Kong, and the son-in-law of the former Deputy Secretary for Administration, among others.

The people present were undoubtedly big shots who could shake the entire Hong Kong with a single stomp of their feet.

Lin Yaodong and Han Bin felt extremely honored and excited to be able to appear in the same frame as these industry giants and political figures.

Just yesterday, as soon as Lin Yaodong received a call from his advisor Su, he immediately boarded a fishing boat that night and rushed to Hong Kong, fearing that he would miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Seeing such a grand scene with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense that the trip had been worthwhile.

However, meeting so many important figures at once made him feel somewhat insecure, and a sense of unease welled up inside him.

Suddenly, Lin Yaodong felt someone gently pat his shoulder.

He turned his head sharply and saw Han Bin, whose face was also flushed red. He immediately understood.

It turned out that they were both newcomers and were equally nervous and reserved in the face of such a scene, making them kindred spirits.

However, seeing that he wasn't the only one who looked so helpless, Lin Yaodong's tension dissipated considerably, and he felt a sense of relief instead.

Not long after, Zhou Chaoxian, who bore a striking resemblance to Li Wenbin but with an even more unruly air, arrived at the holiday home under the personal guidance of Big D.

Looking at the three people who looked so alike, everyone present couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, secretly marveling at the extraordinary strength of the Zhou family's genetic inheritance.

When Master Su saw that everyone had arrived, he hurriedly invited them to take their seats in turn.

The major shareholders of Lei's Holdings were naturally seated in the first row of the inner circle, highlighting their core status.

Meanwhile, the shareholders of Lei's Industrial Group surrounded them on the outside, forming a stable arrangement like stars around the moon.

Big D looked at Master Su, who was busy greeting everyone, and asked with a hint of doubt, "Where's Ah Hao? Everyone's here now, what's he still doing?"

The advisor, Su, hurriedly replied, "Brother Hao has been busy developing VCDs these past few days. He's resting in his room for a bit now. I'll go and call him out."

"VCD? What's that?" Big D looked at the departing figure of Master Su and scratched his forehead in confusion.

Big D rarely interfered with the specific operations of Lei's Holdings and Lei's Industry; Lei Hao handled all matters personally, and he was happy to have a leisurely life.

Seeing this, Robinson, who knew a little about the matter, smiled and explained, "I do know a bit about it. This is a new product that Lei Sheng personally developed, and it was tested internally at the company yesterday."

At this point, Robinson blushed, recalling the scene from the previous day when he and a group of young people watched an erotic film.

He never imagined that at his advanced age, he would lose his reputation in his old age.

"Oh?" As a shrewd businessman, Huang Shitong's first reaction upon hearing the words "new product" was: We're going to make a lot of money again!

Now everyone knows that Lei Hao never does anything fancy or superficial; every new business he comes up with makes them incredibly wealthy.

Just like when they entrusted their funds to Lei Hao to manage and invest in Nikkei index futures, they have already reaped considerable rewards and are almost at the goal of doubling their funds. It's practically making money while lying down.

People like Li Shutang who work in the police force are also intensely curious about the astonishing item Lei Hao is about to bring out.

After a while, Lei Hao, having finished washing up, arrived at the lobby with the help of his advisor, Su, carrying a VCD player and a large pile of CDs.

"Ah Hao, what is this?" Zhou Chaoxian, who was sitting in the first lap, suddenly asked.

When Lei Hao contacted him yesterday, he made it clear that he had to come, and even threatened that if he dared not to come, he would be kicked out of the shareholders' meeting.

Zhou Chaoxian was furious at home for a long time before reluctantly buying a plane ticket to Hong Kong.

If Lei Hao weren't his cousin, he would definitely have brought his men over and staged a scene of hacking people to pieces.

Lei Hao did not rush to answer the questions in everyone's minds. He calmly and skillfully connected the VCD player in his hand to the television in the center of the lobby.

He then skillfully pulled one out of a pile of CDs, gently placed it into the VCD player, and pressed the play button.

Zhou Chaoxian was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was about to question him again.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was completely interrupted by the sudden scene before him.

The next second, the heavy and silent atmosphere in the private room was instantly shattered and vanished.

What suddenly started playing on the television screen was an erotic film, and the female lead was none other than the infamous Mona.

Even more astonishing is that the film's clarity and sound quality have reached an unprecedented level of excellence.

Mona's alluring eyes, her trembling eyelashes, and even the tiny beads of sweat on her skin were clearly visible. Every insignificant detail was meticulously rendered, as if you could touch it.

Every note in the background music is full and layered, making you feel as if you are there live, right next to your ear.

This stands in stark contrast to the blurry, static-filled videotapes that many people present secretly watch at home.

The immense visual and auditory impact left everyone present feeling genuinely shocked and incredulous.

Some stared in astonishment, their pupils contracting sharply in shock; others wore expressions of excitement, their lips curving upwards involuntarily, revealing their inner turmoil; still others tried to conceal the shock and turmoil within them.

Regardless, everyone's eyes shone with an incredible light, filled with longing and curiosity for the new things before them.

The young people present seemed to be deeply attracted by Mona's stunning charm on TV.

They stared intently at the content on the screen, momentarily forgetting where they were and the people around them.

Meanwhile, the expressions on the faces of the four police officers—Li Shutang, Raymond, Cai Yuanqi, and Li Wenbin—gradually became subtle and strange.

Raymond, in particular, glared at Lei Hao fiercely. How could they let these police officers watch pornographic films like this?

If this gets out, aren't you afraid that the internal investigation department will come knocking on your door?

However, Huang Shitong, a seasoned veteran in the business world, was the first to discover the unusual aspects of VCDs thanks to his keen business sense.

His gaze did not linger on the content of the film playing on the television, but rather focused on the appearance and structure of the VCD player itself.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he broke the silence that filled the lobby.

He looked at Lei Hao, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry and anticipation.

"Ah Hao, is this the VCD you made? Besides playing videos, does it have any other special functions?"

As Huang Shitong finished speaking, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Lei Hao, eagerly awaiting his unveiling of the mysterious new product.

Lei Hao didn't try to be mysterious. With a confident and composed smile, he calmly announced, "That's right, this is the product I meticulously developed to completely crush all video recorders on the market!"

Lei Hao then began to explain in detail the various functions of the VCD, his words filled with anticipation and confidence in the future market.

He first pointed out the application of VCD in the home theater field: "The first thing you see is the home theater function. By combining VCD players with professional equipment such as speakers, people will be able to enjoy a stunning audio-visual experience similar to that of a movie theater in their own homes."

"The second important function is the in-car audio-visual system, which installs a VCD player in the car, so that people can listen to their favorite music at any time while driving."

"The third function is to make it a portable music player, shrinking the VCD to the size of a palm, so that people can carry it with them in various scenarios such as traveling or taking public transportation, and enjoy high-quality music anytime, anywhere."

"In addition, it also has a variety of extended functions such as a learning machine and a karaoke machine, which can greatly enrich everyone's learning methods and entertainment life."

After hearing Lei Hao's introduction, the people in the lobby were in an uproar.

With Lei Hao's clear and concise introduction, everyone present finally gained a clear and profound understanding of VCD, this epoch-making product.

Not only does it surpass traditional video recorders in terms of video playback clarity, but more importantly, it integrates multiple innovative functions such as in-car audio and video, portable functionality, learning machine, and karaoke.

This means that the market audience for VCDs will no longer be limited to single-family entertainment, but will be able to reach almost all customer groups. Its potential market size and development prospects are undoubtedly much broader and more profound than those of video recorders!

Lei Hao ignored the shock and whispers of the crowd. He cleared his throat, his voice carrying an unquestionable sense of authority.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this VCD will completely revolutionize the entire entertainment industry, and it will even fundamentally change the lifestyle of each of us in the future!"

If VCDs were simply used for home theaters, Lei Hao would not be so arrogant.

However, what the system rewarded him with was a complete set of VCD manufacturing technology, or more precisely, an upgraded version of VCD that combined DVD-related technologies.

This means that this upgraded VCD can also achieve all the advanced features that DVDs have.

The only advantage of VCRs over VCDs in the past was that they could record and broadcast television programs, which was very popular with users in Europe and America.

However, the storage capacity of traditional VCD discs is usually only 650-700MB, which is insufficient for recording long programs.

However, the system reward technology that Lei Hao possesses is an upgraded version, and its optical disc storage capacity can reach a level comparable to DVD: about 4.7GB for a single-sided single-layer, about 8.5GB for a single-sided double-layer, and even up to 17GB for a double-sided double-layer.

Such a huge storage capacity can fully meet the requirements of customers to record several hours of TV programs, and even the highest grade optical discs can easily record more than ten hours of content.

Lei Hao then went on to discuss the advantages of VCDs compared to traditional video recorders. His words were sharp and to the point, vividly presenting the superiority of VCDs to the audience.

"First of all, the picture quality of this VCD is stable and clear, without the defects of traditional videotapes such as snow, jitter, and color drift. The image is cleaner and purer. Its sound quality is pure and rich in layers, which is worlds apart from the rough and blurry videotapes that you usually watch!"

"Secondly, VCD supports random access. You can jump to whichever part you want to watch with just a tap, and you can also select the precise time. The paused picture is clear and stable, unlike videotapes which may have shaky or blurry images."

"Third, its small size and portability are another major highlight. A VCD disc is much smaller than a bulky videotape, making it easier to carry and store, and extremely convenient whether at home or traveling."
