Chapter 192 Leading a New Era

The outside world generally views the special status of the Special Economic Zone with a "the more the merrier" mentality.

This reflects the mindset of ordinary Hong Kong citizens.

In fact, including the mentality of the British foreigners, when the relevant departments in the mainland contacted them about the development of this special area, they heard that they could get a share of the tax benefits in the future, and that the land, water and electricity, infrastructure and so on were almost entirely handled by the mainland.

Well, this is such a great opportunity, there's no reason not to cooperate, right?

Moreover, Dai Ying is probably well aware that the mainland is not incapable of taking over Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, but simply wants to preserve it, wanting to retain this window for free economic exchange with the outside world.

Faced with such a powerful trend, there was simply no way to refuse it, even if one wanted to.

Besides, they can get a source of tax revenue for free without having to do much work themselves, so why not?

Therefore, once the ideological work with the British foreigners was completed within the larger framework, there were no other construction and operational challenges.

During the rapid construction period of more than half a year, the amazing infrastructure capabilities demonstrated by the project have been constantly breaking the highest record standards in the world's construction industry, creating a miracle in infrastructure engineering in the new era.

This is a small test as the future infrastructure powerhouse awakens and extends its claws slightly.

However, not only do British foreigners not understand it, but ordinary Hong Kong citizens also don't understand it.

Even though the United States seems to be able to sense something amiss, considering that they are currently making every effort to win over the East, and the two are in the sweetest stage of cooperation and deepening mutual trust, they are too happy to think of other directions when they see such a hardworking and resilient partner.

Therefore, this unique park, which was built rapidly under the banner of the "Dream Factory of the Oriental Hollywood," is truly special.

Until it is truly completed and begins to reveal its extraordinary comprehensive capabilities to the outside world —

There are still not many industry elites or those inside and outside the industry who pay even a little attention to it.

There's no way around it. Who would believe that a poor, backward country like Dongguo would have the strength to build a modern manufacturing industry, and that it would immediately set its sights on the world's most advanced electronics manufacturing and consumer electronics design and development—such a high-tech and dreamlike field?

Moreover, is it really possible to obtain such a supposedly state-of-the-art automated semiconductor production line through deception and fraud in North America?

Nobody believed this myth in the electronics manufacturing industry.

Without a foundation, without talent, without a market, how could a science fiction writer's imagination alone lead to such a manufacturing miracle?

What a joke!

"Hilarious, absolutely hilarious! These people in mainland China, running factories and manufacturing, are they all out of their minds?! They're bragging without paying a single penny in taxes!!"

On this day, with increased publicity efforts...

The most mysterious cooperative project in the Special Zone of Special Zones is about to see a series of electronic consumer products launched.

When people see GG on the street, their first reaction is to shake their heads and question it.

However, it was only when we learned that even with GG's extensive advertising, there was no quota allocated to Hong Kong for related consumer electronics products; all the products had to be sold to consumers in Hong Kong.

Hey people, their rebellious spirit suddenly comes to the fore.

"What the hell?! Not selling to Hong Kong people, only to Japanese devils?! If not selling to Hong Kong people, what's the point of your crazy advertising?! Are you out of your minds?!"

"Damn it, they look down on Hong Kong people, as if they think we can't afford to spend money?!"

"I seriously doubt whether you even have any real products on the market!!"

"Not bad, not bad. Creating hype to attract our curiosity and attention is meaningless. Ultimately, you need to have a real flagship product. Otherwise, no matter how many hype you create, without basic trust, how can you continue to operate?"

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

It's a common human tendency to want to try things the more you're told not to, and to rebel when things are restricted from being played with, thinking, "Why should I?"

Moreover, this is something that seems to be openly looked down upon, something that is so blatantly disrespected by poor relatives from the mainland.

Many people couldn't hold back anymore.

At the same time, the real related products, such as King of Fighters 1999, Mahjong Queen, Contra, and Snake—a whole wave of well-made video game products and cartridges appeared on the streets of Japan.

In the 1980s, the Japanese video game industry was already one of the most developed markets in the world.

This includes the top three companies in the industry and their flagship products.

Namco's Pac-Man, the arcade king

Tai Dong's "Space Fighter," the pioneer of arcade shooting games,

SEGA, which later rose to prominence and primarily operates in overseas markets, is now a leading player in the market.

These three companies' products firmly dominate the entire industry, generating an astonishing $50 billion in revenue annually, making them virtually unrivaled in the industry.

Even so, they still faced a sudden wave of competing products.

At first, the three established game companies were quite dismissive, not believing that a fledgling Hong Kong competitor would have a serious impact on their performance.

When the moment actually arrived, the three veteran companies were completely powerless to resist. They were utterly defeated by this intruder competitor's meticulously crafted products and became the defeated army.

"Damn it, how is this possible? Why do they suddenly have so many blockbuster games in their hands?!"

""

"Sir, have you been deceiving yourself all along? Why does your opponent have such strength? It's because behind him is that genius science fiction writer Yu—"

"What?! Yu—he's not—"

"How is that possible?! A genius writer like him, protected by the Eastern Kingdom's military, receives presidential-level treatment. How could he be so easily assassinated in the street? It's all a smokescreen!!"

"Damn it, why is the Eastern Kingdom suddenly trying to intrude into our territory? Why is the government condoning this?"

"Your Excellency, our competitors are using legitimate business competition methods, employing exquisite products to compete. How could the authorities possibly stop them? Besides, such a high-quality game product is currently only available in our market; it's unique in Sakura Country. Even in Hong Kong, it's not yet available for sale. Please take a look at their GG promotional materials. This is an implicit affirmation of our great Sakura Country's world-leading economic strength. Therefore, the authorities have even less reason to stop them!"

"Damn it, they're too cunning! What do we do?!"

"Your Excellency, the best way is to turn such a competitor into a partner, and together we can make money all over the world!"

""

"But would the people of the East be willing?"

"Why wouldn't they agree? If you offer enough benefits, the people of Dongguo will nod in agreement."
