Reborn Tycoon: Hong Kong's Entertainment Godfather

It's time for the year-end review.

Bright Food Group

Today, there are quite a few new subsidiaries in the Bright Food Group.

Previously it was Bright Pictures, Hutchison Whampoa, Angel Garments, Bright Technology, and now Phoenix Home Appliances has been added.

Gu Yuhan never expected to make money from Guangming Technology; it was mainly about burning through cash.

Last year, Gu Yuhan's expenses were 5 billion, but this year the figure has increased slightly, reaching 8 billion.

However, Guangming Technology did do something last year, too.

The transistors they developed made their televisions sell like hotcakes.

Last year, the revenue from television sets alone was close to seven billion.

On the one hand, the Hong Kong market is getting better and better. On the other hand, through the Commonwealth of Nations and China's diplomatic relations, they secured the Most Favored Nation status in the United States, making it easy for them to buy goods from the United States.

This means directly competing with island nations.

This year, another area is LCD displays. Gu Yuhan plans to directly integrate this part of the R&D department into Phoenix Home Appliances. As the scientific research results increase, Gu Yuhan will also gradually split up Guangming Technology.

Gu Yuhan can bring temporary profit growth, but the market direction still needs to be taken care of by the subsidiaries themselves. They can't possibly take care of everything themselves, can they?

"Bright Entertainment earned approximately 900 million yuan this year, a 30% increase compared to last year!"

After learning about the profits brought by Phoenix Home Appliances, Zhou Jun's voice became much quieter.

"It's okay, our most valuable asset is our artists!" Gu Yuhan smiled. "Don't focus on the present, look to the future!"

Nowadays, the film market can't be considered bad.

It can be described as booming, but the film market is just so-so.

It's unlikely that it will unleash amazing energy in a short period of time. The Hong Kong market is only so big, the Taiwan market is only so big, and the number of moviegoers in Southeast Asia is not that many.

Even in Japan and South Korea, only a very small number of people can break in.

The box office performance mainly depends on the domestic market, followed by Taiwan. Southeast Asia is significantly weaker; this is only because Gu Yuhan promoted the merchandise, otherwise, the film's profits wouldn't have been as high.

Last year, Jackie Chan did manage to break into the US market. However, his films "Drunken Master 1" and "Drunken Master 2," which he filmed the year before, did quite well at the box office, but after taxes, he only received less than five million US dollars in profit sharing.

However, Gu Yuhan did manage to open up the Southeast Asian market.

While fully respecting their cultural foundation, Gu Yuhan also filmed many local movies, which were very successful at the box office. Many people gained fame, and many Southeast Asian artists went back to promote local products, which immediately brought in amazing profits.

Angel Garments' sales are quite good, with profits around three billion.

It has increased three times compared to last year.

With lower costs in mainland China, these Southeast Asian artists are essentially opening up entirely new markets.

This year, Hutchison Whampoa acquired Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land.

With a market value of 150 billion, Huo Jianning cashed out nearly 35 billion.

Of course, this is the biggest expense this year.

In fact, the war started on the 21st, and Gu Yuhan made a profit of 240 billion US dollars. This figure was basically unknown to everyone except the Morgan financial group.

Actually, what Gu Yuhan is thinking about now is how he should spend this money.

If you wait for inflation to rise, your wealth will depreciate. At that time, you should invest some of it and convert those tens of billions of dollars into assets that can appreciate in value.

At present, Gu Yuhan has realized that the best way is still to poach people from the island nation.

Continue to increase investment in Guangming Technology. As long as the technology is developed and applied, this money will not be wasted.

As for the investment in Xiangjiang Real Estate, Gu Yuhan believed that it was sufficient to leave this matter to Huo Jianning.

This kid is definitely an expert in this area.

"Looks like we've made quite a bit of money this year!" Gu Yuhan smiled and slowly said, "Should we hold another annual party?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Yuhan continued, "Everyone, this time the bonuses are mainly divided into three categories. The first category is sales staff, the second is technical staff, and the third is management staff. Bonuses will be awarded based on individual performance. In addition, there are team rewards. The team that developed our large-screen TV last year will receive a special reward!"

"A reward?" Huo Jianning asked. "How much is the reward?"

"How many people are in the research and development team?" Gu Yuhan asked.

"There are sixty-five people in total!"

"Our profit is six billion, so we'll take out one percent of that profit specifically to distribute to these teams, which is about sixty million. For the sixty-five people, this ten million is a team bonus. As for their internal distribution, that's an internal matter, and it will be distributed according to their contribution!" Gu Yuhan said.

"Boss, there are Japanese people here. Should we give them to them too?" Huo Jianning asked.

"Yes, why not? Remember, we only have one principle: to contribute to the company. And if you contribute, you deserve a good reward. That's the rule!" Gu Yuhan said calmly, "These are the rules, the company rules I set!"

In Gu Yuhan's view, the annual meeting is of extraordinary significance, after all, nothing is more exciting than gleaming money.

When it comes to methods and approaches to motivating people, this is far more effective than empty promises!

The simplest example is Liu Cuilian, who was once an ordinary sales department employee. She received a bonus of up to 1.5 million yuan at the annual meeting and is now being given important responsibilities!

All of this is true. With her as a precedent, for a whole year, all the sales staff did not slack off for a single day. They all worked as hard as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

The huge sales figures this year were naturally due to these reasons; after all, who wouldn't want to achieve instant success?

Even if you can't reach Liu Cuilian's level, at least working under Gu Yuhan will definitely pay off!

The annual meeting was still held at the Guangming Grand Stage. The only difference from previous years was that there were more attendees, and there was almost no room to move!

Even the media outlets were more frantic than in previous years. Upon receiving the news that Guangming Group was going to hold an annual meeting, they began to beg and plead for the opportunity to attend, since this was not an occasion that anyone could just come to.

By this time, the media had entered the venue, and upon seeing the even grander scene, they were so shocked that they almost forgot why they had come.

"Boss...boss...look over there!" A cameraman pointed to a mountain of cash piled up in front of the stage, his tongue almost tied in knots. "My God! I've never seen so much money in my life! How much is that?"

"You're asking me?" The reporter's eyes widened. "You're talking like I've seen that much money before. This must be at least tens of millions, right? I'd have to work for several lifetimes to earn that much!"

Flaunting wealth may be a derogatory term, but from the moment Gu Yuhan made the decision to hold the annual meeting, his purpose was to show off the Guangming Group and thereby create momentum!

Previously, they were relatively discreet, keeping the money in a box and taking it out only when it was time to distribute it.

This time, under Gu Yuhan's orders, all the bonuses to be distributed were piled up on site, just to show off to others!

And this move did indeed have a remarkable effect!

The media outlets that were arriving one after another hadn't even found their spots yet, but they were already drooling as they started taking pictures of that genuine "gold mountain".

If it weren't for the burly men in black watching their every move with icy eyes, some of them probably wouldn't have been able to resist rushing forward!

Only after big names like Jackie Chan entered the venue did these media outlets reluctantly shift their attention.

When Liza Wang stepped onto the stage, the noise in the audience subsided considerably, as it signified that the annual party was about to begin.

"Everyone, we meet again!" Liza Wang said with a bright smile, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below the stage. "I think everyone is very eager to see me, right? I've heard that some people have already given me the nickname 'Good Fortune Boy'!"

As soon as Liza Wang finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter!

This nickname didn't come out of nowhere. After all, when Liza Wang steps onto this stage, it means that many people will receive huge sums of money!

"Alright, I know you don't like looking at me, you just like looking at the money. So this time, we've specially put all the prize money here so you can see it all at once and have your fill!"

Liza Wang is very self-aware, but what she said is also true. A pile of money that ordinary people couldn't earn in several lifetimes has already raised everyone's expectations to the max without saying anything, making them eager to see who will spend all that money!

"Now, let's get straight to the point! Let's welcome our first lucky winner, Mr. Lin Xue!"

"what?"

After Liza Wang called out a name, a very surprised voice immediately came from the crowd!

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a chubby man with a small mustache pointing at himself with disbelief on his face. Clearly, he was the lucky guy that Liza Wang had mentioned!

"This...this can't be a mistake, can it?" Lin Xue asked somewhat nervously.

He was a C-level contracted actor with Guangming Film and Television. The reason for his surprise was that he hadn't filmed many movies in the past year, and he had only played supporting roles. In any case, the first bonus for the opening should not have been awarded to him!

Seeing his dazed expression, Liza Wang urged, "Lin Xue, what are you standing there for? Come up here quickly!"

Now that things have come to this, even if Lin Xue is completely confused, she can only hurry up and go on stage.

I was about to quietly ask Liza Wang what was going on, but before I could even open my mouth, she said, "Mr. Lin Xue, as an artist, has not only made achievements in his professional field, but has also made outstanding contributions to promoting televisions in Southeast Asia! He achieved very impressive sales this year! He's a top performer among all the celebrities who promote televisions!"

Hearing this, Lin Xue finally felt relieved.

It turns out there was no mistake. The bonus he was about to receive didn't come from his regular job, but from selling products through live streaming. That makes sense now!

Actually, he's not an isolated case. With Ng Man-tat being the first to try this approach, many celebrities responsible for promoting products have also put a lot of effort into it this year.

Among these artists are many like Lin Xue, who holds a C-level contract, yet they still resolutely chose a new path!

This shows that Gu Yuhan's decision-making influence is not just what it appears on the surface.

"Now, with everyone as witnesses, I will present the award to Mr. Lin Xue!"

As soon as Liza Wang finished speaking, someone handed her a foam board covered with a red cloth, about one meter long and half a meter wide!

When Liza Wang lifted the red cloth, the audience gasped in shock because a string of numbers was clearly written on the foam board!

"Three...three hundred thousand!?" Lin Xue was stunned. He never expected that he would receive such a large bonus!

Although this is not as much as the million-dollar bonus Liu Cuilian received last year, the number of people in the sales department has increased many times over, and there are also a lot of celebrities promoting products. It is already very difficult for him to obtain such a substantial bonus in such a huge crowd!

At this moment, Lin Xue felt that his choice was right. Although he was a C-level contracted actor of Guangming Pictures, to be honest, this level was nothing in Guangming Pictures.

Putting aside how much he earned from live-streaming sales, this bonus alone would probably take him a long time just to film, given how fierce the internal competition is. That's why he put more effort into live-streaming sales.

Although Lin Xue was not the only one with this idea, he was extremely grateful at this moment because he knew that his efforts, which were greater than those of other artists, had not been in vain. The leaders above could see it, and this bonus had already proven everything!

He doesn't regret sacrificing his free time and even rest time to balance filming and live-streaming sales, because that's how he realizes his life's value!

"Mr. Lin Xue, you can take this sign to exchange for money after you step down." Liza Wang handed the foam board completely to Lin Xue. "Oh, by the way, if you're worried about not being able to take so much money with you, I can provide you with a plastic bag free of charge!"

As Liza Wang spoke, she actually pulled several plastic bags out of her pocket, which immediately drew another burst of laughter from the audience!

Gu Yuhan watched Lin Xue walk off the stage, and sighed inwardly, "No wonder she became a top supporting actress; her hard work would shine anywhere!"

Although unfamiliar with the name Lin Xue, Gu Yuhan recognized the familiar chubby man. He was the actor who played the Axe Gang leader whose head was blown open at the beginning of "Kung Fu Hustle." Besides that, he had played many unforgettable supporting roles in numerous films. However, Lin Xue now seemed to have embarked on a completely different path. Before truly achieving fame, he had already earned a considerable income several years earlier, which seemed more like taking a shortcut. Ultimately, his changed fate stemmed from Gu Yuhan.

The main show has already begun, and Liza Wang continues to distribute bonuses. Whether it's sales staff or celebrities promoting products, everyone whose name is mentioned receives a bonus ranging from 10 to 30!

Those who received the prize money were moved to tears, while those who didn't secretly vowed to work even harder!

Because facts have proven that all their efforts will not be in vain, and they will definitely reap unexpected rewards!

The sales staff at these sales terminals are just the appetizer for this annual meeting.

After their bonuses have been distributed, the next step is for the managers or heads of each sales region!

"Hey, have you guys noticed? Last year, the main focus of the Bright Group's annual meeting was the artists from Bright Pictures, but this year it's these sales departments!" a reporter whispered to the person next to him.

Meanwhile, someone from another media outlet stared wide-eyed at the enormous bonus announced on stage, urging their photographer to hurry up and take pictures, exclaiming, "Holy crap! A regional manager actually got a 200 million bonus? That's outrageous!"

"You guys are still young. Didn't you do your homework before coming?" An older reporter seemed numb to it all. "This year, Guangming Group's focus is entirely on Phoenix Home Appliances, so the main attraction of the annual meeting has to be changed! But those mountains of cash haven't decreased much; I reckon there'll be more to come!"

As expected of a seasoned journalist with extensive experience, his intuition was indeed very strong.

There weren't many regional managers and supervisors, so the bonuses were distributed very quickly.

Then, Liza Wang gestured for everyone to be quiet before speaking, "Don't you all think giving out bonuses like this is a bit too exciting?"

"Now, you are about to witness a very surprising scene!"

At last year's annual meeting, Cheng Long received a bonus of tens of millions of yuan in one go. Compared to that, this hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan is indeed not shocking.

However, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that even though the bonuses have been distributed for half a day, the mountain of cash hasn't changed much, which means there's definitely going to be some big moves coming!

Hearing Liza Wang's words again immediately piqued the curiosity of everyone present!

"Everyone, next I will be awarding the team bonus!" Liza Wang announced loudly.

Team bonuses were introduced for the first time at Bright Food Group's annual meeting, and the media immediately perked up, eager to see who would win this first team bonus.

After all, there are more than just one or two companies under the Bright Food Group, and most of them have so-called teams. It's really not easy to get the answer by guessing!

Liza Wang's task is not just to host, but also to create as many newsworthy highlights as possible for the media to report.

Seeing the whispers and heightened curiosity of the crowd below, he didn't delay any longer and immediately announced, "Let's give a round of applause to the research team from Guangming Technology Company to come up on stage to receive their award!"

The moment the answer was announced, thunderous applause erupted, and the media focused their cameras on the core research team of 65 people!

These researchers originally thought they were just there to watch the fun, and never expected that they would actually receive a share of the prize money!

This is not surprising, since their main job is research and development, which, on the surface, does not bring direct benefits to Bright Food Group like the sales department.

More importantly, Gu Yuhan has always treated researchers well because he understands that "science and technology are the primary productive forces." Therefore, the salaries of these high-level talents are among the highest in the entire Bright Group!

Sixty-five people walked onto the stage in a daze under the flashing lights, and Liza Wang warmly shook hands with each of them.

Then Liza Wang returned to her seat and addressed the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, standing before you now is the research and development team of Bright Technology. Through tireless efforts day and night, relying on their knowledge, they have created many miracles from scratch!"

"Their hard work and dedication are unseen by most, but there is no doubt that it is because of them that Guangming Group has been revitalized!"

Liza Wang's words resonated deeply with these researchers. No one knows how much effort they have to put in to overcome each and every challenge.

But now that they've stood on this stage, it's clear that their efforts haven't been in vain. The group's leaders have not only given them generous compensation but also acknowledged their hard work and diligence!

At this moment, they even felt that the bonus was no longer important. As talented individuals, meeting their mentor was already the luckiest thing in the world!

But they underestimated how much the talent scout valued them. When Liza Wang lifted the red cloth and revealed the numbers on it, everyone present was so surprised that their jaws almost dropped!

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million...ten million!

These eight digits alone were like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart!

Even Liza Wang, who already knew this number, couldn't help but gasp when she witnessed it with her own eyes!

"Everyone, please don't doubt your eyes, because the prize money awarded to the Bright Technology research team this time is a full sixty million!

"Sixty million!?"

"My goodness! Last year, Jackie Chan only received a little over ten million, but this time the team bonus is a whopping sixty million!"

The reporters were all dumbfounded. Last year, the news about the Bright Food Group's annual meeting caused a huge stir. If the news about the 60 million yuan team bonus were released, who knows how big a sensation it would cause!

The researchers were all incredibly surprised. Although there were many of them, the 60 million yuan would be divided equally among them, meaning each person would receive nearly a million yuan, which was comparable to the salaries of regional managers in the sales department!

"I...I'm not dreaming, am I?" Kenji Yamagata pinched his thigh in disbelief, the intense pain making him realize that this was reality!

As the only Japanese person in the entire team, Kenji Yamagata had always felt somewhat uneasy.

But now, with the prize money of nearly a million yuan about to be in his hands, his previous anxiety vanished instantly, and he was deeply moved!

Just then, Liza Wang needed a representative from her research team to speak, and Shan Xingjian volunteered to raise his hand.

After taking the microphone, Ken Yamagata was still too excited to calm down. He looked back at the other members of the team and saw them cheering him on before he began to speak: "H-Hello everyone, my name is Ken Yamagata, and I am the only member of the team from Japan."

Yamashita Ken immediately revealed his identity, but the audience did not react unusually, which undoubtedly relieved his tension considerably.

"On behalf of all the researchers at Guangming Technology, I would like to thank the group's leaders for awarding us such a huge bonus! Personally, I also want to thank the group's leaders for giving me this opportunity to prove myself! I'm not good at eloquent words, but I can swear that from now on, I will work even harder and will absolutely not let the group's leaders down!"

Kenjiro Yamashita bowed deeply. Seeing his utmost sincerity, Huo Jianning, who had previously had some doubts about his island nation identity, began to change his opinion.

Then Huo Jianning respectfully said to Gu Yuhan, "Boss, it seems you were right. We can't judge a person's character subjectively. This Shan Xingjian does have some character; at least he knows what it means to be grateful!"

Gu Yuhan smiled faintly at this, but did not say anything more.

He understood that people who do scientific research tend to be somewhat obsessive. In fact, it's not just scientific research; any kind of literature, once you delve into it wholeheartedly, will elevate your entire being. At that point, nationality or identity will become irrelevant, just like the popular saying in the arts: art knows no borders!

The annual meeting was still going on, but after the team bonus of up to 60 million, the later parts of the event were no longer as exciting.

All the media outlets got big news today. Even before the annual meeting ended, they all sent people to inform their leaders, wanting to organize the information as soon as possible and seize the initiative!

By the next day, news about the Bright Food Group's annual meeting had spread throughout the streets and alleys!

The story of the huge prize of 60 million also shocked the entire Hong Kong!

Inside a restaurant, the proprietress was steaming and preparing dishes, while the owner sat to the side reading a newspaper.

"Hey honey, the Bright Food Group's annual meeting has made headlines again!" The boss was stunned after seeing the news and immediately shared it with his wife. "Do you know how much bonus they gave out?"

The proprietress was calculating how many semi-finished dishes she needed to prepare for today when the boss's words immediately disrupted her train of thought. She sighed helplessly and said, "Can even more be more than what Cheng Long received last year? That's over ten million!"

Last year, Jackie Chan's multi-million dollar prize caused quite a stir, and because of this, the number of actors has increased significantly!

Upon hearing his wife's words, the boss immediately interrupted her as she recalculated the food preparation, then placed the newspaper in front of her and pointed out the news to her.

The proprietress was initially a little impatient, but when her eyes fell on the enormous sum, her gaze widened, and she stammered, "Sixty...sixty million? My goodness, just how much money does this Guangming Group have?! They just casually gave out sixty million as a bonus?"

Seeing his wife's utterly astonished expression, the boss wore a smug look, as if he himself had received a bonus.

Then, in a boastful tone, he said, "Why are you so surprised? Look closely, this is just the team bonus of 60 million. All the bonuses distributed at the entire annual meeting combined have already exceeded 100 million!"

The proprietress was completely bewildered. She couldn't possibly calculate how many years it would take for her and her husband's restaurant to earn 100 million yuan; it probably wouldn't be enough even if they worked for ten lifetimes.

This couple's reaction was playing out repeatedly throughout Hong Kong.

Aside from being shocked by the wealth and power of the Guangming Group, everyone was more concerned about the researchers who received the 60 million yuan team bonus!

In this era, most people still don't understand how much technology can change the world, and they always think that people who do scientific research have no future!

But through this experience, although it won't change people's impression of technology much, they have realized one thing: scientific research can make a lot of money!

In an instant, countless parents wanted their children to study science and engineering, and many young people spontaneously tried to persuade their parents to let them attend science and engineering universities!

"Son, whatever university you want to attend, your parents will support you, but there aren't any science and engineering universities in Hong Kong!"

Whether it was their own idea or their son's idea, some parents have already taken action, but after investigation, they found that Hong Kong does not have a science and engineering university, which is really a dilemma.

After reporting to Gu Yuhan, Huo Jianning also mentioned this matter.

"Boss, I'm really starting to admire you more and more! I didn't quite understand what you meant when you said you wanted to set up a university specializing in science and engineering, but now young people in Hong Kong and families with school-aged children are all calling for the establishment of this type of university. Could it be that this was all in your planning?"

With the news about the Bright Food Group's annual meeting, Gu Yuhan has gained recognition from more people in the industry!

When people first heard the name Gu Yuhan, they thought he was just a rich second-generation kid who relied on his family's assets and background to dabble in business.

However, the Sunshine Group, which Gu Zhenguo, as Gu Zhenguo's father, built with his own hands, is no longer as famous as the Bright Group!

It was at this point that many people in the industry began to consider whether or not to cultivate a good relationship with Gu Yuhan, since young people with such unlimited potential were extremely rare!

"Rongrong, how's everything going with things at the university?"

In the office, Huo Jianning had just mentioned Gu Yuhan's preparations for a science and engineering university. Taking this opportunity, Gu Yuhan asked Su Rongrong, who was in charge of the matter, about it.

Just as Huo Jianning said, Gu Yuhan had already started preparing for the establishment of a science and engineering university; it was part of his plan!

What is the thing that Gu Yuhan lacks most right now?

It's not money, nor opportunity, but genuine talent!

Seeing that technology has become the mainstream of the times, Gu Yuhan has been recruiting talents in this field on a large scale, but the results are rather disappointing, as can be seen from the research team of Guangming Technology!

Logically speaking, given the generous treatment and conditions offered by Gu Yuhan, he should be fully capable of expanding the research team to a larger scale!

The truth is that Gu Yuhan had this idea, but didn't have a good way to achieve it, because there were just too few people with scientific research skills!

So after realizing this fact, Gu Yuhan had a plan to cultivate talent himself. The best way would be to open his own engineering school!

Then, we can have the university directly connect with Bright Food Group and use a priority recruitment approach to ensure that Bright Food Group has a continuous stream of talent!

"So far, the preparations are almost complete." When Gu Yuhan asked her a question, Su Rongrong immediately began to report smoothly. "The location and qualifications have been settled, and the teachers will be in place soon. The only problem to be solved is the enrollment of students, but judging from the current situation, this problem is no longer a problem."

Since it was Gu Yuhan's order, Su Rongrong would definitely do her best to carry it out. With her efforts, she had already arranged all the preliminary preparations. In fact, after obtaining Gu Yuhan's permission, she even specially hired several experts and professors in scientific research from abroad to oversee the work.

Moreover, it is said that Gu Yuhan is going to open a university specializing in science and technology, and the relevant departments have given the green light in all aspects of auditing and qualification, otherwise there would not have been a result so quickly.

After receiving the answer, Gu Yuhan nodded in satisfaction and felt that keeping Su Rongrong by his side was a very wise choice.

This girl is exceptionally smart. She clearly knew nothing and couldn't do anything before, but after coming to my side, she can now stand on her own!

Gu Yuhan looked at Su Rongrong approvingly and smiled, "Alright, Rongrong, go contact the media and publicize that we're opening a technical university. By the way, you know what to say, right?"

"I know!" Su Rongrong tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "We need to publicize this through the media as much as possible, and we also need to publicly recruit to supplement the teaching staff needed for basic disciplines." Although the purpose of establishing this science and engineering university is to cultivate talents for the Guangming Group, these talents need time to grow. The reason why Gu Yuhan wants to make a big fuss about this is actually to recruit as many talents as possible during this gap period.

Su Rongrong quickly contacted the media, and the news spread throughout Hong Kong in no time!

Bright Food Group responds to public calls and decides to establish a science and technology university!

"The Birth of a Conscientious Enterprise: Bright Food Group Does What the Public Needs!"

Breaking news! Bright Food Group is funding the establishment of a science and technology university and is currently recruiting faculty members. This is a rare opportunity!

"..."

In no time, major media outlets reported on this matter, and under the influence of money, these news reports almost praised Guangming Group to the skies!

Moreover, many press releases have mentioned Gu Yuhan, the owner of Bright Food Group, praising him as a representative of young businessmen in the new era!

And so, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was officially established!

This has given hope to those who were previously distressed because Hong Kong lacked science and engineering universities!

"Dad! Look at this news! Bright Food Group has started Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I want to apply there, is that okay?"

"Daughter, didn't you say you were interested in science and engineering universities? Take a look at this, Guangming Group has started a science and technology university, why don't you give it a try?"

"Son, don't worry! Although our family isn't well-off, as long as you study hard and get into Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, your parents will sell everything we own to support you!"

Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the news of Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology has already attracted countless people eager to see this science and engineering university, which was established with a large investment from the Guangming Group!

They initially thought that the university's situation wouldn't be too good due to the limited time, but who would have thought that they would be completely dumbfounded after seeing it with their own eyes, because the university's scale was no less than any other university in Hong Kong!

Whether it's the brand-new buildings or the lush greenery lining the roads, everything tells everyone that this is not a place for the Bright Group to put on a show!

It wasn't just families who came to Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology; many people also came after seeing the recruitment information.

At this moment, the security guard at the entrance was surrounded, and the noise around him was driving him to the brink of collapse!

"Where can I apply? I have three years of teaching experience in humanities, and I've heard that this place needs teachers for basic subjects, which I'm absolutely capable of!"

"Boss Gu invested so much money to establish this university of science and technology; he definitely needs experienced teachers. What are you doing here for the past three years? I have ten years of teaching experience and I hope to get an interview!"

"What's all the noise about? So rude! How can you call yourselves teachers? Sir, I used to be the dean of students at a high school, with thirty years of teaching experience. I'm confident I can help your school get back on track!"

"Hey bro, are you hiring security guards here? Or maybe a cleaner? Give me a chance, I really want to join the Guangming Group!"

"..."

The security guard roughly estimated that there were at least forty or fifty people around him, all vying to ask him how to apply for the job.

Those who applied for teaching positions were relatively well-behaved, as they were cultured and polite. However, many others directly laid hands on him, clearly wanting to work at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology!

The security guard was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why this group of people were so crazy. He had been temporarily transferred from another company in the Guangming Group and had just been hired, so he really couldn't figure it out.

"Quiet down, everyone! Listen to me!" The security guard raised his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs, finally calming the crowd down. "I can tell you where the interview is, but can you tell me first why you're all so agitated?"

The duty of security guards is to prevent suspicious persons from entering the campus.

This group of people is so crazy that the security guards want to figure out what's going on with them!

"Sir, I'm here to work, of course, to respond to the call of Mr. Gu, the owner of the Bright Group! He's willing to spend a fortune to establish a science and engineering university for the development of Hong Kong. As a teacher, how could I not contribute my own efforts?"

"That's right, that's what I think too. But sir, I'd like to ask, what are the salary and benefits like for teachers at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology? Are there any additional perks?"

"Tch! A bunch of hypocrites! You call yourselves cultured people? Don't you have any conscience doing this? I like to tell the truth, brother. Let me tell you straight, I heard that Boss Gu is very generous and that you can make a lot of money working for him. That's why I'm begging for a job. I may not have much else, but I have plenty of strength. What do you think?"

There was another burst of chatter around, but the security guard finally figured out what was going on.

Whether they were refined people applying for teaching positions or guys who looked like idle socialites, their starting point was to work for their boss, Gu Yuhan, because they knew that their boss was generous and offered high salaries and benefits to all employees of Guangming's companies!

In addition, the fact that hundreds of millions of yuan in bonuses were given out without batting an eye at the annual meeting immediately made countless people tempted!

But those companies were already saturated, and now that they know Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is recruiting, it naturally attracts all those envious people!

Both are jobs, and given the same amount of effort, if you earn 1000 at other companies but 2000 at Guangming Group, anyone would know which to choose. Naturally, many people wouldn't want to miss this opportunity!

The media were also filming and recording the scene at the entrance of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. They were quite taken aback to see so many families and job seekers!

After all, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has not even started enrolling students yet, so it's really unbelievable that it already has so many potential students!

As a result, the latest reports have included a lot of information about Gu Yuhan.

"As the owner of Bright Food Group, Mr. Gu Yuhan's pioneering act of establishing Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will surely lead Hong Kong into a brand new era!"

The Bright Group has become famous, and Gu Yuhan's name is already very well-known. However, the technological craze started by Gu Yuhan is far from over!

Not only are countless graduating high school students wanting to apply to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but many secondary school students are also starting to study science and engineering, directly raising the proportion of science and engineering students to an unbelievable level!

Many schools have even increased their faculty in science and engineering. They have no choice but to increase their faculty, as there are simply too many students. Even the education department has made many new plans overnight to adapt to the current situation!

Many university leaders are even considering whether to offer science and engineering disciplines. They can't help but worry that, given the current popularity, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology might become the biggest obstacle to their student recruitment next time!

Inside the villa, Chen Yulian nestled in Gu Yuhan's arms, like a well-behaved kitten.

Gu Yuhan was pleased with the woman's change. Men like to conquer women, which is a natural law. However, most men do not like women who pretend to be aloof even when they have no power to resist.

Mi Xue pushed open the door and walked in, showing no strange expression when she saw the scene on the bed.

"Honey, didn't you say you had a gift for us? You're not lying to us, are you?"

Mi Xue sat down next to Gu Yuhan with a fawning smile and leaned down to kiss him on the cheek.

Seeing that she was about to get up after the kiss, Gu Yuhan grabbed her and said, "Of course there's a gift, but do you think it's that easy to get?"

Misha was absolutely understanding; how could she not understand what she meant when she heard those words?

Chen Yulian was about to sneak away, but Gu Yuhan pulled her back.

Before Gu Yuhan could speak, Mi Xue said with a smile, "A-Lian, you can't leave! If you're going to leave, wait until the gifts arrive!"

That's why Mi Xue is so sensible and understanding; for that reason alone, Gu Yuhan wouldn't mind giving them a big gift.

Two hours later, a spirited Gu Yuhan led the two of them to the villa entrance.

Mi Xue and Chen Yulian exchanged a glance, not understanding why Gu Yuhan had brought them out. Right now, all they wanted to do was get a good night's sleep and replenish their energy.

"Honey, why did you bring us out here?"

Mi Xue couldn't help but ask again, and Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "Didn't you want to see your gifts? They're coming soon!"

Hearing this, the two women were excited, but also a little confused. What kind of gift could it be that required them to come all the way to the villa to wait for it?

However, the answer soon became clear.

Two incredibly luxurious cars drove up one after the other and stopped right in front of them!

Since becoming Gu Yuhan's woman, they have seen many luxury cars, but the car in front of them looks more expensive than any they have ever seen before!

"Here are your gifts." Gu Yuhan gestured with his lips. "Let's go, let's sit down!"

After saying that, Gu Yuhan stood up, but Mi Xue and Chen Yulian were still in shock. These two expensive luxury cars in front of them were actually gifts from Gu Yuhan.

"Honey...is this really a gift from you?" Chen Yulian asked incredulously. "But we don't know how to open it!"

Seeing the two women's adorable expressions, Gu Yuhan smiled. They were already so surprised by the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur; if they saw the even more advanced vehicles of the future, wouldn't they be utterly astonished?

However, it's understandable that the two women lost their composure, since in this era, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur in front of them was already the most luxurious car available!

Gu Yuhan bought ten cars at once this time, which is a very rare occurrence. He immediately became a top VIP of Rolls-Royce and enjoyed royal treatment!

"Have you ever seen someone who buys this kind of car drive it themselves?" Gu Yuhan helped the two girls up. "Don't worry, we've already assigned you drivers. Is that alright?"

Hearing how thoughtfully Gu Yuhan had arranged things, Mi Xue and Chen Yulian were naturally overjoyed. They forgot their earlier fatigue and couldn't wait to pull Gu Yuhan into the car for a ride!

As soon as it emerged from the villa area, the luxurious Rolls-Royce Silver Spur immediately attracted countless eyes. Many pedestrians stopped to watch, after all, it was a brand new model that had just been released and was very rare in the entire Hong Kong!

"Wow! Honey, the seats in this car are so comfortable!"

"Honey, honey, could you tell the driver to go a little faster? I want to go for a drive!"

"husband……"

The two girls chattered away, clearly very pleased with the gifts Gu Yuhan had given them.

However, while dealing with the two women, Gu Yuhan noticed a problem when he looked out the window: the population of the Tseung Kwan O residential area was significantly larger than before.

This reminded him of Su Rongrong's previous report, which stated that the occupancy rate of the Tseung Kwan O residential area had increased significantly, and that the increase was not due to outsiders, but rather to employees of companies under the Bright Group!

Gu Yuhan had also calculated that, without considering the salaries of those special jobs and top talents, even ordinary employees would earn at least 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year!

As long as you don't squander money recklessly, and you work hard to save enough to maintain your basic living needs, then it should be possible to make a down payment on a house in a residential area of ​​Tseung Kwan O!

Moreover, strictly speaking, Tseung Kwan O originally belonged to Gu Yuhan. As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." When the occupancy rate was not high, Gu Yuhan said that any employee of Guangming Group who bought a house in Tseung Kwan O would receive some discounts. This is probably one of the reasons why employees bought houses here!

As for other reasons, there's no need to elaborate. Looking at the whole of Hong Kong, although Tseung Kwan O's development is not yet far ahead, it's only a matter of time before it gets going, so buying a house here is actually a kind of investment!

The next morning, Gu Yuhan arrived at Guangming Group.

As soon as I entered the office, Zhou Jun hurriedly followed me in.

"Boss, this is bad! Panasonic and Sony have already entered the Hong Kong market!" Zhou Jun looked anxious, seemingly very worried about the competitors' moves.

In contrast, Gu Yuhan was much calmer. He waved for Zhou Jun to sit down first, and then said, "What's the panic? If you're not feeling well, just behave yourself, unless you want to spend the rest of your life in bed."

Zhou Jun chuckled and scratched his head. That's just his personality; he can't change it. Gu Yuhan understands this, so she won't criticize him too much.

"Didn't I tell you before? Since Panasonic and Sony have ambitions, let them do whatever they want!" Gu Yuhan said, sipping the tea Su Rongrong had brewed for him. "You should also know that Phoenix Home Appliances' market share in the Hong Kong TV market is already relatively saturated. There's no need to care what those two companies do."

Hearing this, Zhou Jun calmed down and, after reflecting on it, realized that he had indeed made a mountain out of a molehill.

This is like filling a bottle with water. Now that the water has reached the top, no one else can pour anything else into it. So what is there to worry about?

Just as they relaxed, Gu Yuhan said, "However, we still need to keep an eye on Panasonic and Sony's moves. Of course, their performance is just something to give us some fodder for conversation!"

Gu Yuhan would not underestimate any opponent. Panasonic and Sony could not have developed to their current state by mere luck. Knowing that the Hong Kong television market was almost saturated, they still came to attack. In the end, they just wanted to completely defeat Gu Yuhan on his home turf, preferably to the point of making him unable to recover!

......

While not underestimating them, Gu Yuhan also believed that they were unlikely to succeed. In the business world, scheming and intrigue are indeed necessary, but they are mostly based on the premise that both sides are of similar or equal ability.

But now, Gu Yuhan has far more trump cards than they do, so no matter how much Panasonic and Sony try to cause trouble, they are only asking for trouble. Hoping to defeat Gu Yuhan on his own turf is just wishful thinking on their part!

"Boss, I've done my research. Panasonic and Sony have released new products this time—super-large screen TVs!" Zhou Jun took a sip of tea, calmed down, and his thinking returned to normal. "Although the TV market is saturated now, their new products should still open up a new segment of the market, right?"
