Reborn Tycoon: Hong Kong's Entertainment Godfather

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the entire Lan family, young and old, all arrived in the gambling city without exception.

The group was put up in a detached villa with its own yard. The place was spacious and well-maintained. But no one knew that this place would soon become their graveyard.

......

Hong Kong.

Gu Yuhan casually picked up a newspaper that had just been delivered from the table, glanced at it, his face expressionless, and then handed the newspaper to his father, Gu Zhenguo, who was doing rehabilitation training next to him.

Gu Zhenguo's body has now basically recovered to about 70-80%, and he is undergoing daily rehabilitation training. He can walk with crutches without much problem, but he has suffered a serious injury and his stamina is not what it used to be. He can't keep going for long; he can only last up to half an hour before he has to sit down and rest.

Gu Zhenguo stopped, took the towel handed to him by the maid, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then took the newspaper from Gu Yuhan, looking down to read it. As he read, a smile that was hard to define as either satisfaction or感慨 (a complex emotion encompassing both relief and reflection) appeared on his face. He nodded slightly: "Not bad, it seems he finally made up his mind to do it."

After hearing this, Gu Zhenguo pondered for a moment, put the newspaper aside, and slowly said, "Let's leave it at that point and turn the page."

"From now on, we can't relax our security measures; we need to strengthen and expand them further," Gu Yuhan continued, his tone becoming serious. "Whether it's me, Dad, or Mom, everyone's security level must be raised to the next level. We absolutely cannot allow something like what happened before to happen again. In addition, our security company needs to expand in size and manpower. I think it won't be long before all the wealthy people in Hong Kong are begging to come to us for bodyguards."

Gu Yuhan smiled and continued, "I think we should continue to recruit more retired taxi drivers from the mainland. These people have a good foundation, strong discipline, and are the most reliable to use."

Gu Zhenguo nodded, agreeing with his son's line of thinking.

Gu Yuhan continued, "In addition, I still plan to increase our investment in the mainland regarding our own industrial layout. I have recently developed some new technology called cold cathode tube. Before long, we will be able to produce a newer type of television with better picture quality."

To put it bluntly, Gu Yuhan knew better than anyone that in the future, the mainland would be the one to hold the reins in the entire Asian region. Clinging to the mainland's coattails early on would be entirely beneficial. Anyone can add flowers to brocade, but nothing compares to offering charcoal in the snow—it's something that's truly invaluable and earns the gratitude of others.

Look at Huo Yingdong and Mr. He Xian; what these two hold in their hands is basically a get-out-of-jail-free card. No, "get-out-of-jail-free card" isn't even accurate enough. Their political influence and connections are unmatched by ordinary people. As long as they don't do anything too outrageous and remain on the right track, they won't cause any major trouble.

On the other hand, while Gu Jia is currently enjoying great success, he is still quite far from obtaining the real "get-out-of-jail-free card."

Gu Yuhan couldn't refuse Huo Yingdong's request, nor did she dare to.

Could it be that their influence is really that great? In the end, what Gu Yuhan truly fears, values, and wants to get close to is the huge, unshakeable backer behind Huo Yingdong.

In this area, their current influence is definitely not comparable to that of the Huo family.

Gu Yuhan was perfectly clear about what path to take and what choices to make in the future. As long as he was still making a living in Asia, he had to maintain an unbreakable relationship with the mainland, leaving no room for ambiguity.

He held a major trump card: his manufacturing advantage and his extensive sales network. These were precisely what the mainland needed most right now. In his previous life, Li Ka-shing had only reluctantly entered into cooperation with the mainland, yet he still reaped unimaginable profits. Gu Yuhan wasn't stupid; with his past experience and his current insight, he naturally knew how to choose and how to maximize his leverage to elevate his status and influence on the mainland.

Gu Zhenguo wasn't very knowledgeable about the specific technologies and intricacies of manufacturing, but he understood the core principle of "maintaining good relations with the mainland." After listening to his son's analysis, he simply nodded and said reassuredly, "You can make the decisions about these things; you don't need to ask me about everything."

"Dad," Gu Yuhan continued, "I've basically replaced the entire management team in the company. The people who have been promoted are all ambitious young people, some of whom I personally promoted from the bottom. I plan to arrange for them to formally meet you and get acquainted with the company in the near future."

Gu Yuhan never even considered sidelining his father; that would be a joke. His father was in his prime, full of experience and wisdom. Did he expect him to retire and leave while he had to manage the enormous Sunshine Group? Even after his rebirth, with his extraordinary energy and tireless machine-like demeanor, it was absolutely impossible for Gu Yuhan to single-handedly manage so many companies across different sectors.

Ideally, the company should establish its core rules and regulations and implement them, allowing them to operate smoothly and automatically. The true role of senior managers is to promptly gather feedback from all directions and then make corresponding strategic adjustments based on this information.

The larger the operation, the more efficient and orderly management is needed.

It's time for Gu Zhenguo's management approach to be adjusted. He can no longer cling to the old mindset of ruling the mountain; he needs to keep up with the times.

"Okay." Gu Zhenguo nodded. "Go and arrange it in a bit. Who will be there?"

"They're basically all people you know, Dad. Didn't we come up with a list together before?" Gu Yuhan said with a smile. "I've been observing them for a while now, and they're all quite capable. We can use them with confidence."

The father and son sat there, chatting casually, in a relaxed and confident atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the entire Hong Kong was as if a bomb had been dropped on it, completely turning the world upside down.

In short, the newspapers were abuzz with gossip and arguments, and everyone seemed to have transformed into a sharp-eyed detective, eager to dig out earth-shattering truths and evidence from the most unsubstantiated clues.

Of course, behind this media extravaganza, Gu Yuhan's invisible hand was undoubtedly at work, secretly fueling the flames. To put it bluntly, Gu Yuhan had people spreading information and guiding public opinion. More frankly, Gu Yuhan deliberately wanted to make this a huge scandal, creating a media frenzy, using these true and false rumors to completely absolve his family of any suspicion and prevent anyone from casting doubt on them.

call!

After reading through several newspapers with differing viewpoints, Bao, the shipping magnate, took off his reading glasses, tossed the newspapers onto the mahogany coffee table, let out a long sigh, and said to Wu Guangzheng standing beside him, "This Gu family is truly ruthless. And that person is certainly a character, willing to make tough decisions!"

While ordinary citizens of Hong Kong are easily fooled by stories in the newspapers, tycoons like the shipping magnate, who stand at the top of the pyramid, possess information channels and resources far beyond what ordinary people can access, and are not so easily deceived. Who exactly is the shipping magnate?

How could the truth and inside story of such bloody infighting among wealthy families possibly escape his eyes? Not only the shipping magnate, but also other prominent tycoons in Hong Kong had basically found out through various channels that the cause of the incident was that the Ho family had first dealt a fatal blow to the Gu family, and now they had ended up in this situation simply because they had received the most vicious and merciless revenge from the Gu family.

"I think they brought this on themselves, they have no one to blame but themselves."

Wu Guangzheng stood in front of the shipping magnate, his head slightly bowed, and analyzed in a calm tone, "Shipping magnate, no matter how you look at it, it was the He family who made the first move and broke the rules. If I were in Gu Yuhan's position, no matter what means I used to retaliate, it wouldn't be excessive."

"Oh?" The shipping magnate raised his two gray eyebrows slightly, looking at his son-in-law with great interest. "You support Gu Yuhan's approach?"

"If Mr. Fok Ying-tung hadn't stepped in to mediate at the last minute, the consequences of this matter would have been unpredictable."

Wu Guangzheng's expression became extremely serious. "The He family secretly colluded with the Su family to seize the Gu family's assets, and even almost took the lives of Gu Yuhan's parents. If I were Gu Yuhan, I would never be able to swallow this insult."

"If the He family dares to attack the Gu family today, and the Gu family swallows their anger and suffers in silence, then tomorrow, won't just any Tom, Dick, or Harry dare to provoke them?" Wu Guangzheng continued, his tone calm but every word hitting the nail on the head. "Therefore, if I were in that position, I would definitely retaliate, and I would not hesitate to use any means necessary. The strength of the retaliation must be so strong that everyone will be terrified. The Gu family has risen too quickly, and their foundation is not stable. They cannot afford to be ruthless. Otherwise, there are simply too many people in Hong Kong who are envious and covetous of their family's wealth, making it impossible to guard against them."

The shipping magnate nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes some sense. So, how do you view the Gu family as a rival?"

"I've done a rough analysis," Wu Guangzheng said, organizing his thoughts. "Gu Yuhan has a very clear approach to things: the principle of reciprocal retaliation. In other words, whatever you do to me, I'll return the favor exactly as it is, or even double it."

"If it's just normal business competition, and everyone is just doing business, Gu Yuhan will abide by the rules. But if someone uses underhanded or dirty tricks to deal with him, then Gu Yuhan will not hesitate to tear off all his gentle and refined masks and retaliate with even more cruel and bloody methods."

At this point, Wu Guangzheng paused, then emphasized, "The Shao family back then, and the Li family later, are living examples. Gu Yuhan retaliated ruthlessly in kind. And this time... it's the He family's turn. I'll say it again: if it weren't for Mr. Huo intervening out of old friendship, the He family would have been completely finished this time, and no one could have saved them."

The shipping magnate looked at Wu Guangzheng with some surprise, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Your thinking is quite good, very insightful."

Wu Guangzheng smiled sullenly and said modestly, "Dad, it's you who always told me to observe and think more."

The shipping magnate then steered the conversation back on track: "So, how do you think we should view the Gu family going forward, and how should we deal with them?"

"The Gu family isn't the kind of people who shut themselves off and do nothing. On the contrary, they're very willing to cooperate with capable partners," Wu Guangzheng replied without hesitation. "We can just cooperate normally. When it's time to make money together, we'll make money together. When it's time to compete fairly, we'll compete fairly. As long as we don't cross that line first, I believe Gu Yuhan will never cross that line to deal with us without a reason."

The shipping magnate laughed heartily: "What you said is not wrong."

The consensus reached between Bao, the shipping magnate, and Wu Guangzheng quickly spread like ripples across the surface of Hong Kong's elite circles, forming an unspoken understanding. Even Li Ka-shing, who had long been a competitor of the Gu family in multiple sectors, shared this view. Although the Gu and Li families had fiercely competed in many businesses, Gu Yuhan had never truly dealt a fatal blow to the Li family, always adhering to his bottom line. Gu Yuhan had consistently maintained a clear stance, making it clear to everyone: if you play fair in business, I'll play fair; but if you dare to resort to underhanded tactics, I'll be even more ruthless and cunning—who's afraid of whom?

Time flies, and it's already July.

The mainland sent a large group of people to Hong Kong. This group had a dual mission: firstly, to begin formal negotiations with Great Britain on the future ownership of Hong Kong, which was of paramount importance; secondly, to take the opportunity to visit the laboratory and factory built by Gu Yuhan.

This visit was something Gu Yuhan had worked hard to secure and invite. He had a clear plan in mind: at this crucial stage, he had to do everything he could to maintain good relations with the mainland, and to forge a strong and deep bond with it. With the mainland as his backing, he could do things that were difficult to do before with more confidence, boldness, and assertiveness in the future.

Hong Kong will eventually return to the embrace of the mainland; it's an inevitable historical trend. Does he think he can just go to Taiwan across the strait and make a living elsewhere, instead of working on the mainland or in Hong Kong? That would be a huge joke. Even if he wanted to go, they might not accept him, a dragon crossing the river, and that small boat simply couldn't carry his ambitions.

After repeated and sincere invitations from Gu Yuhan, the mainland side, after careful consideration, finally arranged for several high-ranking leaders to come and visit Gu Yuhan's proud laboratory.

"Mr. Yuan, Mr. Chen, this way please. Look, this is our latest LCD screen."

Gu Yuhan was currently acting as the guide, leading Yuan Geng and another high-ranking official who had traveled from Beijing to visit his highly secure laboratory. With an undisguised smile of pride, he explained clearly, "The core of this LCD screen is a special liquid crystal material as the basic display element. We evenly fill this liquid crystal material between two parallel glass plates, and then by applying different voltages, we change the alignment of the molecules inside the liquid crystal material, thereby controlling the blocking or transmission of light, ultimately achieving a clear image with varying shades and textures. Moreover, by simply adding an extra layer of three-color filters between these two plates, we can easily achieve a vibrant, full-color image."

Gu Yuhan paused briefly to allow the two elderly people some time to process the information before adding, "This type of LCD screen will definitely become a huge industry trend in the future. We are currently working hard to figure out how to perfectly integrate this advanced LCD screen technology with our existing television production lines. In addition, it has a very wide range of applications, namely computer monitors. LCD screens consume very little power, which makes them highly favored by electronic engineers, especially for battery-powered mobile electronic devices that require long battery life. The prospects are very promising."

Yuan Geng and the elderly Chen beside him both showed expressions of extreme surprise and admiration. They leaned closer to examine the demonstration on the screen, the clarity and detail far exceeding their expectations. After a while, Elder Chen looked up, his eyes shining as he looked intently at Gu Yuhan, and asked a crucial question: "Does this thing have significant practical application value? Does it have market potential?"

"It's huge, and I'm 100% confident that it will become an unstoppable trend in the future. Currently, our team is working intensively to bring it to market and commercialize it," Gu Yuhan said with a smile, his words filled with strong confidence. "Personally, I believe that a complete industrial chain, from upstream materials to downstream end-users, can be built around this technology. If we can seize the opportunity now, make early arrangements, and firmly grasp the patents and core technologies, then the commercial value and driving effect it can unleash in the future will far exceed everyone's current imagination."

Looking at the clear and promising image displayed on the small screen in front of him, Yuan Geng couldn't help but exclaim in genuine admiration, "Mr. Gu, this LCD screen of yours has truly opened our eyes! Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Gu Yuhan simply smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan is joking. It's just some development trends. I personally really like technology, and I've invested some money myself. However, for LCD screens to be commercialized and mass-produced, we still need the support of domestic industrial technology!"

I showed a few people around for a bit.

Both Yuan Geng and Chen Lao felt something called shock.

Isn't Gu Yuhan researching a bit too much?

Computers, televisions, LCD screens, and mobile phones and communications—Gu Yuhan is involved in all of these industries.

Now, the mobile phone is slowly being promoted throughout Hong Kong. However, Gu Yuhan is still personally involved in the development of second-generation communication technology, which means he is slowly starting to formulate the standards for second-generation communication technology.

It's impossible not to be surprised.

During meals.

Both Mr. Yuan and Mr. Chen were slightly surprised.

The dining environment here is exceptionally good.

Chicken, duck, fish, meat, and even a dedicated chef—just tell the chef what you want to eat, and he'll make it for you.

"The environment here is really nice, and the food is great too!" Old Chen brought the food and sat down in front of Gu Yuhan. Looking at the fragrant dishes, he couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

"It's mainly these researchers!" Gu Yuhan smiled. "I've given them very high compensation. Their meals are basically at the highest standard. What I hope for is that these researchers won't have too many worries while working for me, so they can focus more wholeheartedly on their research and development!"

"Oh?" Old Chen asked curiously, "Will this even work?"

"Of course!" Gu Yuhan smiled and quickly said, "For example, the guy who invented this LCD screen was named Yamagata Ken. Back in Japan, although he had a good education, he had to struggle every day to make ends meet, buy a house, find a girlfriend, think about his children, and support his parents!"

"Boss, tell me, under these circumstances, how could he possibly concentrate on his research?" Gu Yuhan smiled and continued, "But now it's different. I've recruited him, so he doesn't need to worry about those issues anymore!"

He doesn't need to worry about his salary at all; I'll offer him three times the salary of what he earns in Japan. As for housing, he won't have to fret either; I'll just give him an apartment. As for his girlfriend, he recently started dating in Hong Kong—it's a free-choice relationship. As soon as she heard he owns a house and a car, and his salary is quite good, she's eager to get married!

As Gu Yuhan spoke, he continued unhurriedly, "So, he can now focus more on making money and conducting research. Once our LCD screen achieves mass production and is officially launched into the market, I will also give him a share of the patent rights. This share will be 5%, and it will be distributed over five years. During these five years, for every LCD TV monitor produced, I will take a cut and give it to him!"

Old Chen's eyes widened in surprise. After a moment of stunned silence, he replied, "Then, wouldn't he suddenly become a super-rich man?"

"Isn't this a fantastic thing?" Gu Yuhan smiled slightly, then continued calmly, "Mr. Chen, as you know, I employ many actors and have signed many artists. Any one of them is now a multi-millionaire. Since celebrities can easily become multi-millionaires, why can't scientists also become multi-millionaires?"

The two of them fell silent for a moment, feeling that what Gu Yuhan said actually made a lot of sense, and for a while they couldn't find a suitable angle to refute it.

Gu Yuhan didn't stop there, continuing, "I've given every research talent a very generous salary, resolving all their worries. I believe that as long as even one of these people manages to produce even the smallest thing, it will be a step forward in science and technology, ultimately bringing me a continuous stream of substantial profits!"

Old Chen took a deep breath, a smile on his face, and said, "Your idea is quite novel. It has many benefits for us and a significant impact. It's definitely worth learning from!"

Gu Yuhan quickly replied politely, "Mr. Chen, you're joking. I just have some spare cash. If this were done in China, I'd definitely do a much better job!"

Old Chen suddenly smiled and asked, "I do know that. It seems you've donated a considerable amount of money to support academic research and technological development on the mainland, isn't that right?"

"Mr. Chen, I truly believe in the future development prospects of the mainland. Going forward, I will continue to increase my investment!" Gu Yuhan declared on the spot, "Whether it's this year or next, I will gradually increase my investment!"

Old Chen laughed along, his face beaming, and said, "Ah Yu, you're a true role model now! We especially welcome entrepreneurs like you, and the more the better!"

Gu Yuhan laughed heartily and quickly urged, "Eat! Eat the vegetables first!"

Although the people sitting opposite him were all high-ranking leaders, Gu Yuhan gradually realized that they were actually quite eager and eager to integrate with the world. What surprised him even more was that Old Chen actually liked to drink Coca-Cola, a discovery that really surprised Gu Yuhan.

While eating, Yuan Geng couldn't help but ask, "Ayu, how much money do you actually invest each year?"

"If we're talking about Hong Kong dollars, we're currently investing around five billion annually," Gu Yuhan smiled, then continued, "and I'll continue to increase the scale of my investment further!"

After these words were spoken, both Yuan Geng and Old Chen were stunned for a long while. After a moment, Old Chen couldn't help but exclaim, "Your investment is truly substantial!"

Gu Yuhan simply smiled and said unhurriedly, "Actually, it's not too bad. Currently, it's 5 billion yuan per year. In the future, I plan to increase the investment scale to 10 billion yuan per year. I will continue to increase my investment in scientific research year after year!"

"Actually, you're already making a lot of money," Yuan Geng said. "Are you going to keep throwing money into it?"

"I don't really care much about how much money I make," Gu Yuhan said slowly with a smile. "Precisely because I'm not short of money, I'd rather invest more of my funds in technology. Mr. Yuan, Mr. Chen, let me give you an example. Just recently, I ordered a tunnel boring machine from Hans's company. Guess how much they quoted me?"

As he spoke, Gu Yuhan held up five fingers, gesturing with a smile, and said, "They're asking for fifty million right off the bat, but if they wanted to sell it to those European countries, thirty million would be enough. And then there's the batch of excavators and drilling rigs I bought from Caterpillar; the price they sold it to me for was at least double what they sold it to Europeans!"

"What could I do? Although I was seething with anger, in the end I had no choice but to obediently buy all of these things. Otherwise, the Hong Kong subway line couldn't be built. I had to swallow my anger and obediently pay up to buy them. Why did I insist on doing the research and development myself? Ultimately, it's because I couldn't stand their attitude. Western technology is indeed good, but they certainly won't give it to you for free!"

"Doing scientific research is indeed very difficult in the early stages when you're investing money. However, I firmly believe that as long as my research and development speed is fast enough, and as long as I accumulate enough technology, these things will definitely bring me greater profits in the future!"

"This has been truly enlightening!" Old Chen exclaimed with a smile. "Ayu, it seems we'll have to invite you to give us more guidance in the future!"

"I dare not accept such praise, I really dare not accept such praise!" Even if Gu Yuhan were bold, he would never dare to open his mouth to give advice to the leaders in the capital: "I was just sharing some of my personal opinions."

Just now, Gu Yuhan had thoroughly messed up the He family's affairs.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yuhan clung tightly to the incredibly strong thigh of the mainland.

To put it more bluntly, in this part of Asia, you simply cannot bypass the mainland, especially in Southeast Asia. Right now, the mainland's power cannot reach that area, but it's really hard to say what will happen in the future.

No matter how the situation changes in the future, it is absolutely impossible for Gu Yuhan to break away from the mainland at this stage.

There may be various problems on the mainland, but if you go to Europe or America, they won't hesitate to freeze your assets. Just look at what happened to Mao's family to understand.

Next, I still need to make a trip to the United States to quickly multiply the billion dollars in my hands.

Before long, that particularly famous actor-president will take office, and then he will begin an eight-year term in office, officially embarking on the road of privatization and liberalism. At that time, many industrial chains in the United States will also begin to move overseas on a large scale.

Gu Yuhan's plan was actually very simple: wasn't the industrial chain in the United States going to move out?

As much as you can move over, you'll swallow it all.

Take advantage of this honeymoon period and grab as much as you can from the US. Once we enter the 1990s, there really won't be another "063" opportunity like this. Another thing is the lithography machines in our country now.

The development of lithography machines in China is now slowly stagnating.

Gu Yuhan had been thinking that he needed to sit down and have a good talk with the mainland as soon as possible, and quickly invest his capital. At present, the domestic lithography machine technology is only three to five years behind. The unfortunate thing is that there is no large enough market to support it, and there is a lack of enough market feedback to iterate.

As for Gu Yuhan, what he needs to do now is to invest all his funds in it.

Ultimately, it all boils down to the same principle: Gu Yuhan has ample funds, and no matter where he invests them, it's not as worthwhile as investing directly in technology. As for the real estate industry in mainland China, he won't be able to truly participate until the 1990s, or even later in the new century.

"Professor Yuan, Professor Chen."

Gu Yuhan continued, "I genuinely want to see the technology on the mainland develop day by day. I'm also very willing to gradually build laboratories in various universities on the mainland and slowly explore a cooperative model. Money is no longer a problem for me. Technological research and breakthroughs are a gradual process; it's not something that can be achieved overnight!"

"You must be able to endure loneliness and withstand the torment of capital being consumed over a long period of time."

As she spoke, Gu Yuhan held up three fingers and said with a smile, "This is the third year already, and I've only just managed to get the TV set out. The compressor in the air conditioner is still far from working properly. And then there's this LCD monitor; I've put in countless hours of effort before I finally managed to get it out and onto the market!"

Old Chen nodded and said solemnly, "The experience you have accumulated in this area is indeed very important to us."

After a pause, Old Chen suddenly asked, "By the way, what do you think? How do you think the citizens of Hong Kong are looking at our mainland?"

"In my opinion, many people probably still look at Hong Kong with a sense of superiority. After all, Hong Kong's economy is developing quite well right now, while the mainland's economy still lags behind Hong Kong's."

Gu Yuhan smiled, then added, "However, I always feel that this is something that requires careful guidance. I believe that with the steady progress of relevant national policies, the historical issues can be properly resolved. Great Britain is a troublemaker; even if they are forced to take this step, they will definitely deliberately create unspeakable troubles and hidden dangers!"

Old Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "I know what I'm doing and I know what to do."

……

……

After the visiting group from the mainland left, Gu Yuhan set off for Shenzhen.

Shenzhen today is basically planned step by step according to the ideas proposed by Gu Yuhan. The streets must be wide and open, at least enough to accommodate eight cars passing side by side. In addition, buildings must be built high up, and industrial parks must be large enough.

At the very least, we must do everything possible to prevent problems like urban villages from occurring.

During this period, the number of people who flocked to Shenzhen from all over the country was not small.

One reason is that the pay for working is higher, especially for those who work in factories under Gu Yuhan's name. The monthly salary has increased from fifty yuan in 1977 or 1988 to one hundred and fifty yuan now.

It cost a full 150 yuan.

Gu Yuhan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This is incredibly cheap.

However, only two years later, a huge number of all kinds of goods, such as clothes, shoes, and socks, have flooded into the Shenzhen area. In addition, some people can even afford to buy television sets.

Of course, it's practically unrealistic for them to afford a television with their meager earnings. The most likely scenario is that many businessmen have emerged and started buying and selling televisions.

They purchase large quantities of goods produced directly in Shenzhen and then ship them all over the mainland for resale.

However, as the old saying goes, wealth and honor are always sought in danger. Nowadays, more and more people are starting to do this business. Many people are buying large quantities of goods from Shenzhen by the truckload and then trying to sell these goods to other places through various channels.

A considerable number of people became wealthy in this way.

Of course, very few of this group of people persisted until the end. On the contrary, many of those who became wealthy in the 1990s lived comfortably until 2023.

Gu Yuhan didn't want to get too involved in this phenomenon; this icy atmosphere would eventually melt away and disintegrate.

It's a good thing that our own televisions can be sold domestically, as it means the mainland market is expanding further, which naturally means a new source of profit growth.

Phoenix TVs began to quietly appear in thousands of households across mainland China. Although not many, the brand's influence was still established.

call!

Gu Yuhan also exclaimed in admiration, "This Shenzhen is truly becoming more and more different!"

At this moment, Gu Yuhan was walking along the coastal path, looking at the sky not far away, and said with a smile, "Elder Yuan, the current planning is quite excellent!"

"Ah Yu, with your investment of so much, Shenzhen will definitely be different!" Old Yuan smiled. "We'll set an example, at least let the whole world see that China is inclusive and open!"

After walking a few steps, Yuan Geng suddenly spoke up: "By the way, we visited your laboratory earlier, and the people in Beijing were quite impressed. I think the files will be ready soon, and then we can start cooperating with you!"

"That's wonderful!" Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "I really hope to see the mainland become more and more open, so that we businessmen can feel at ease!"

Yuan Geng nodded: "Furthermore, we have received your proposal regarding Hong Kong. In the future, if problems arise in Hong Kong, we will need your help, after all, you still have two major television stations under your control!"

"To be precise, three!" Gu Yuhan smiled. "Not long ago, I started preparing to acquire Aoyu. Since I'm in the media industry, it's perfect for me to take over Aoyu!"

Yuan Geng paused slightly, then smiled and said, "We feel more at ease with you in your hands!"

Now, the mainland has also fully realized that Gu Yuhan's role in Hong Kong is actually better than that of Huo Yingdong.

The economy, public opinion, and media are basically all under Gu Yuhan's control. Moreover, Gu Yuhan has better external channels than Huo Yingdong. Secondly, there are manufacturing and technology industries, which Huo Yingdong does not have. Gu Yuhan not only has them, but also produces them and sells them.

His capital investment in mainland China is by no means a small amount, and naturally, mainland China also has the idea of ​​winning over Gu Yuhan.

It can be said that the Gu family's political status has been continuously elevated.

In other words, the Gu family is more valuable as an ally than the Huo family.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Gu family can completely surpass the Huo family. After all, the Huo family has maintained a friendship of nearly thirty years. Back then, they risked their lives to deliver medicine to the mainland.

Their political standing today was earned through hard work and struggle.

Although the Gu family has higher political value, their political status is clearly still well-known domestically.

"Mr. Yuan!" Gu Yuhan smiled and slowly said, "I'm preparing to produce two programs in Hong Kong. Would you like to listen to them?"

Mr. Yuan immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Tell me about it!"

"There are roughly two!" Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "The first one is called 'A Bite of China.' I've also planned a food program here in Hong Kong, mainly focusing on culinary competitions. However, this time, my idea is to abandon the structure of culinary masters or famous food experts; it's not about showcasing exquisite cooking skills and complicated processes!"

At this point, Gu Yuhan smiled and continued, "What I hope is that in this film, Chinese cuisine will be showcased to the audience, especially overseas audiences, through a relaxed and fast-paced narrative and exquisite visuals, demonstrating the evolution of daily Chinese food, the rich experience accumulated by the Chinese people in their diet, the diverse eating habits and unique taste aesthetics, and the Eastern life values ​​that rise to the level of survival wisdom!"

Yuan Geng paused slightly, then smiled and said, "That's a good idea, and it would also showcase our Chinese customs. A very good idea indeed. So, what other ideas do you have?"

"Another idea!" Gu Yuhan smiled. "It could be called 'Metamorphosis' or 'Life Swap,' but I personally feel 'Life Swap' would be better."

Gu Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "Basically speaking, it's about having a child from the mainland and a child from Hong Kong exchange identities. The mainland child can experience life in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong child can experience life on the mainland!"

"Simply put, it inherits the concept of 'putting yourself in someone else's shoes,' but takes it to its extreme!"

Gu Yuhan smiled and then said, "It's about getting the mainland to think from Hong Kong's perspective and Hong Kong to think from the mainland's perspective in the program. The program still needs to provide positive guidance, to imagine and understand the other side from their point of view, and you also need to live their lives, truly experience the ups and downs of their world, and appreciate the most subtle emotional touches in their thoughts."

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Experiencing different lives can help improve relationships, resolve conflicts, and learn valuable lessons!"

Yuan Geng immediately became interested: "That's a good idea!"
