Hong Kong film: My brother, Big D, I really don't know kung fu.

Although it was an early attempt at a portable CD player, its high price of 79800 yen severely limited its market penetration.

Moreover, the production of portable CD players faces several key challenges: shock resistance, laser head, signal processing, and power management are all crucial technical bottlenecks.

Currently, Sony's portable CD players are prone to problems such as stuttering and skipping due to vibrations during movement, which seriously affects the user experience.

In addition, Walkmans need to develop a small, high-precision, and durable laser head so that they can accurately read digital signals on CDs in various environments.

To complicate matters further, converting the digital signals read by the laser head into high-quality audio signals requires advanced digital signal processing and audio decoding technologies.

In addition, it is necessary to solve the problem of signal interference to ensure the purity of audio output and bring high-fidelity sound quality.

CD players require battery power, so they need an efficient power management system to maximize playback time.

However, current battery technology is limited, and how to ensure the normal operation and long playback time of a portable CD player with limited battery capacity is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Jiang Wanyong thought to himself, if Lei Hao could really solve these technical problems and launch the Walkman at a reasonable price, then the sales of the Walkman would explode!

But has Lei Hao really solved all these technical problems and mastered a mature solution?

If that's the case, then Jiang Wanyong is truly tempted by Lei Hao's offer; the allure is irresistible.

Although he was just an ordinary technician at Panasonic, he was well aware of the enormous potential of VCD technology.

Unfortunately, the bureaucratic system and conservative mindset within Panasonic did not endorse his proposal and gave him no opportunity to try it.

Just tell him to focus on his job and not to overthink things.

But how could Jiang Wanyong be willing to let someone negate his grand vision and technological dreams with just a few words?

"Mr. Jiang, you have clearly seen the extraordinary nature of VCDs; their future is limitless."

Lei Hao spoke again, his tone sincere and enticing, each word like a wave, impacting Jiang Wanyong's inner desire to realize his ambitions.

He knew that for a true technical talent, the most important thing was not money, but a platform to realize their ambitions and achieve personal value.

Lei Hao continued to offer a powerful incentive: "Moreover, I also have the mature technology for Walkmans, but I need someone to make it now!"

"And you are the best candidate in my opinion. Although Panasonic is big, it may not be able to give you a stage to realize your ambitions."

He promised, "I can give you enough space to achieve both fame and fortune, and build your own career!"

Jiang Wanyong was startled; Lei Hao's words struck his deepest desires like an electric current.

At Panasonic, he was just an ordinary engineer, and no matter how talented he was, he was inevitably bound and restricted by the system.

I thought going abroad would free me from all those constraints, but little did I know I was just jumping from one pitfall into another.

Japanese companies have an even stronger emphasis on seniority and hierarchy, where no matter how talented you are, you still have to follow the rules of the workplace step by step.

More importantly, he is from China, and the Japanese will never consider him one of their own.

During his daily work, he felt an invisible barrier.

"Lei Sheng, I'll do it with you!" Jiang Wanyong thought for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying.

Faced with Lei Hao's sincere words, as well as his unique insights and absolute optimism about the future of VCDs, Jiang Wanyong was finally moved and made a decision that would affect his entire life.

During his conversation with Lei Hao, Jiang Wanyong discovered that Lei Hao not only had a forward-thinking business mind, but also a profound understanding and vision of technology.

This resonated with Jiang Wanyong like never before, as if he had found a kindred spirit, someone who truly appreciated his talent.

More importantly, Reihaw agreed to give him the opportunity to realize his ambitions, something Panasonic would never have been willing to offer.

For Jiang Wanyong, this was no longer a simple job change, but rather the selection of a "battlefield" where he could realize his own value, a brand new beginning full of challenges and opportunities.

After exchanging contact information, Lei Hao had just left Panasonic when Jiang Wanyong immediately submitted his resignation to his superior, severing all ties with his former employer without hesitation.

Jiang Wanyong's superiors merely went through the motions of making a hypocritical attempt to retain him.

When he saw that Jiang Wanyong was determined to leave and his attitude was firm, he didn't say anything more.

For Panasonic, the departure of an ordinary technician is a trivial matter; they can easily find more people to replace him.

However, what he didn't know was that letting Jiang Wanyong go would later have a devastating impact on the entire video recorder industry in Japan.

Having regained his freedom, Jiang Wanyong, using the contact information left by Lei Hao, found Fat Mantis, who had been investigating the market in Japan and almost died of sleep in a brothel.

If he hadn't confirmed it several times, Jiang Wanyong would have thought he had mistaken the person for someone else.

He couldn't help but wonder how Lei Hao, such a wise and far-sighted boss, could have a lecherous subordinate like Fat Mantis.

This was simply beyond his imagination.

However, after learning that Fat Mantis was specially arranged by Lei Hao to come to Japan to investigate the market and prepare to establish an adult film company, Jiang Wanyong became completely withdrawn.

He then realized that Lei Hao's business empire was far broader and bolder than he had imagined.

Having spent many years in Japan, Jiang Wanyong naturally knew how booming the Japanese market for adult films and videotapes was, and how astonishing the profits were.

He quickly guessed the deeper meaning behind Lei Hao's move: in the future, erotic films would be sold on VCD discs produced by his own company.

This would not only significantly reduce the high production and distribution costs of erotic films, but also allow them to take advantage of relatively low prices to sell these contents all over the world.

However, Jiang Wanyong did not expect that Lei Hao, a seemingly respectable business tycoon, would be so unscrupulous in pursuing profits without regard for his reputation.

Just as he was inwardly criticizing Lei Hao, Fat Mantis, who had gotten a little tired of playing alone, dragged Jiang Wanyong into the mess as well, letting him personally experience that bittersweet feeling.

Grass Harvest Manor

Upon returning from Panasonic, Lei Hao immediately dialed a number in Shenzhen.

"Jimmy, how's the situation in Pengcheng going?" This was Lei Hao's biggest concern at the moment.

The equipment order has been placed and will be shipped to Shenzhen immediately once manufacturing is completed.

If the factory in Pengcheng is not ready by then, these expensive pieces of equipment will just sit idle and gather dust.

Time is money to them now. The sooner they build the VCD factory, the sooner they can sell their products all over the world and earn a steady stream of cash flow.

Jimmy's face fell upon receiving the call, his voice tinged with helplessness: "Brother Hao, I'm already trying to contact them, but it's simply impossible to conjure up a ready-made factory building all at once."

"Whether it's planning and acquiring land or demolishing and building factories, it all takes time to complete."

Lei Hao naturally knew that Jimmy was telling the truth, but he was dissatisfied with Jimmy's conventional way of doing things.

His voice was steady but tinged with dissatisfaction as he said, "Can't you use your brain and acquire an existing machinery factory in the mainland?"

“I think there are probably a lot of electrical appliance factories in the mainland that are not doing well right now. You can pick the biggest ones, acquire them, and then renovate the factory buildings. That would make them ready-made factories!”

"If we need a new factory later, we can acquire the land and build it gradually."

"Brother Hao, I understand! I'll take care of it right away!" Lei Hao's words seemed to open a new world for Jimmy, making him suddenly enlightened.

He had never thought about it this way before, and had always followed the established procedures he followed when he first came to Shenzhen to handle the construction of the garment factory.

That would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the factory would not be able to be completed and operate normally for one or two years, which would seriously affect efficiency.

However, if Lei Hao's instructions are followed, the process will be shortened to the minimum, greatly advancing the time it takes for the factory to start production.

Guangdong Province has many fan and electrical appliance factories, which have existing factory buildings and some equipment.

If we just acquire it and make some minor modifications, wouldn't it become a suitable VCD factory?

Moreover, if one factory isn't enough, he'll acquire several more.

Once the quantity increases, economies of scale can be achieved.

More importantly, as long as the production line can be put into operation as soon as possible, it can quickly generate profits and recover funds.

The money earned can also be used to build new factories, creating a virtuous cycle.

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy hurriedly went to find the person in charge of Pengcheng City to begin implementing Lei Hao's new instructions.

Lei Hao looked at the disconnected phone, shook his head with relief, and secretly rejoiced.

Luckily, he called Jimmy in advance. Otherwise, if Jimmy had stuck to the old procedures and gone through the process of getting land and building a factory, their VCD production might not have started for ages.

He had barely hung up the phone when Nanako Kusakari, dressed in an elegant kimono, came to his room with light, quick steps.

"Lei Jun, it's time for dinner!" Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of shyness.

Looking at the delicate, budding Nanako kusakari in front of him, Lei Hao felt a sense of amusement.

He couldn't resist pinching her soft, tender cheeks; the touch of his fingertips was delicate.

This sudden intimate gesture made Nanako Kusakari blush instantly, her eyes darting away, but she did not struggle.

Lei Hao, feeling playful, casually stretched out his arm and pulled her into his embrace.

Nanako Kusakari wanted to struggle, but Lei Hao's magnetic and domineering voice echoed gently in her ear: "I have accomplished the most important thing I came to Japan for. The rest is almost done, and I will have more time."

Upon hearing this, a subtle disappointment welled up in Nanako Kusakari's heart. She stopped struggling and simply rested her head obediently against Raiho's chest.

Lei Hao didn't give her a chance to think, and his behavior became increasingly domineering... (censored)...0.4

Three to five days later...

At this moment, Kusakari Kazuo was called away for drinks by Zhou Chaoxian and had no idea that his crystal was gone.

...

Hong Kong, Po Lan Street.

When news spread that Lei Hao had amassed a fortune of HK$160 billion in just six months, Huang Jian was utterly shocked.

His limited brain capacity simply couldn't fathom how Lei Hao had managed to do all that.
