Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

1. The Berlin Consumer Electronics Show ended yesterday. Heiyun Company once again became the biggest winner. It is the most dazzling enterprise in this exhibition, and it is not the only one.

Heiyun Group sold 15 million gameboy handheld game consoles at this exhibition, with a value of US$375 million; 45,000 Vision 1000 laptops, with a value of US$310 million. A total of 1.5 million razors were sold, with sales reaching $100 million. There are only 200,000 units of the Walkman, and the competition is indeed too fierce; and they are mainly new models with a value of less than 20 million US dollars. The game arcade has sold about 20,000 units. After all, many markets have been conquered, with an amount of US$55 million.

Heiyun's sales reached US$850 million at the Berlin Consumer Electronics Show. This was something Bao Zixuan had never dared to think about before. He did not expect that laptop computers would sell so well.

It seems that predictions for this era are still completely inadequate. In fact, this is the fastest growing time in the world, with emerging technologies and industries emerging one after another. Take Japan as an example. Their annual economic growth exceeded 10% in the 30 years from 1955 to 1985. People's purchasing power in this era is still very scary.

Employees of Heiyun Group can travel in Europe for a week, which counts as their annual leave. Moreover, the company pays for the expenses during the period. The happiest person here is Junpei Yokoi. The GameBoy game console was a hit, making his commissions exceed $5 million. He also wanted to relax, after all, he had almost no rest in this year.

Regarding employees' income in the company, Heiyun Company distributes it in a very timely manner. Now Miyamoto's monthly income exceeds 200,000 US dollars. Miyamoto, who has no investment direction, specifically asked Bao Zixuan where he wanted to invest his money. In his mind, he can definitely make money by following the small boss.

Bao Zixuan's advice to him was to buy all the stocks of Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa. As a result, after Miyamoto received his salary every month, except for necessary living expenses, he used all of it to buy stocks of these two companies.

Yokoi Junpei also bought some after learning about it, but they were not as radical as Miyamoto hats. After all, he is older and has family to worry about. Unlike Miyamoto, who can feed the whole family alone and not be hungry, he has no worries.

Bao Zixuan's fate is not so good, he is preparing to enter East Germany. Go to Carl Zeiss, one of the world's famous optical instrument companies, for inspection. If possible, he would like to introduce some talents and technologies.

Carl Zeiss is a German company that manufactures optical systems, industrial measuring instruments and medical equipment, and is a world-class company that manufactures camera lenses.

The history of Carl Zeiss lenses began with the 18nastigmat astigmatism compensation lens. Since then, Carl Zeiss, as a lens company with more than 100 years of tradition, has become famous overseas in the fields of medical series, binoculars, camera lenses, magnifiers, glasses, planetariums and other optical equipment fields. Among them, the camera lens has the advantages of sharp resolution, detailed description, uniform aperture, and hardened processing of T* multi-layer film emission.

Due to the Cold War, the company was once split into two companies - Carl Zeiss AG and Carl Zeiss Volksgesellschaft Jena - until a new merger.

Now Carl Zeiss in West Germany is an optical giant. If you go to them, they will ignore you. Bao Zixuan has been doing business with the Warsaw Pact countries for some time, and going to East Germany is the best choice at this time.

He plans to introduce East German Carl Zeiss technology to develop digital cameras, cameras and lithography machine lenses. This is also the reason why I dare to spend such a high price to acquire the Sony photolithography machine.

The core component of the lithography machine is the optical lens. The lenses sold by Aspen, the world's largest lithography machine giant, are provided by Germany's Carl Zeiss. Bao Zixuan believes that as long as he brings all the talents and technologies of East Germany's Carl Zeiss to Heiyun, then he Developing a lithography machine will be smooth sailing.

Heiyun Group saw the East German Carl Zeiss booth at the exhibition, and they also came to participate in the exhibition. In fact, their technology and strength are not much worse than West German Carl Zeiss. What they lack is a platform.

Hiroshi Hashimoto contacted the other party hoping to cooperate, which made East German Carl Zeiss overjoyed. After all, many Western companies will not choose to deal with them due to institutional reasons. Now that the most popular company at this exhibition wants to visit the factory, what else can I say about a warm welcome?

Bao Zixuan went to East Germany with four bodyguards under such circumstances. There were many things he did not want Japanese employees to know; he was not completely at ease with them.

Now Carl Zeiss in East Germany is much poorer than the factories in West Germany. After all, the welfare benefits of the two companies are very different. But this is also an opportunity for Heiyun Group.

East Germany attaches great importance to Bao Zixuan's personal inspection. Their economy is not very good. If Carl Zeiss can cooperate with Heiyun Group, it will also be a great promotion for other East German companies to go global.

Bao Zixuan already had a general understanding after visiting the Carl Zeiss factory. At this time, it is time to negotiate carefully with Carl Zeiss.

The current factory director of Carl Zeiss is named Bach-Kara, an old engineer who has worked for Carl Zeiss for more than 30 years and is an old German craftsman.

Bach-Kara said: "Welcome to Carl Zeiss, Mr. Bao, what can we do for you?"

When doing business with Warsaw Pact countries, Heiyun Group did not lower prices as hard as other European and American countries, which gave Heiyun a good reputation in these countries. Moreover, Bach-Kara knew that Bao Zixuan had accepted many old technicians from Rheinmetall, even though they were now in two countries. But after all, we are members of the same nation, and we still have the feeling that blood dissolves in water. Therefore, he still respects this young man very much. He is a young man with a smart brain and caring heart, and he respects skilled workers very much.

Bao Zixuan, who knew Bach Kara's identity, felt much more at ease now. Negotiating with two technicians was better than negotiating with a technician and a politician.

Bao Zixuan: "I am here this time hoping to cooperate with Carl Zeiss in the field of optical lenses. Heiyun hopes to introduce some patents and technical guidance. Carl Zeiss workers who go to Xiangjiang for guidance will receive the same treatment as Heiyun engineers. In this regard, please do not worry."

Bach-Kara was very happy to hear this. This found a new way of life for the workers. They can increase their income and still be able to work and live freely.

Bach-Kara: "There is no problem with technology licensing. I want to know how many technical workers Heiyun can accept. You have also seen that their lives are not very good."

Bao Zixuan: "How many workers depend on Carl Zeiss? Even if we move all Carl Zeiss to Xiangjiang, I have no problem. I'm just afraid that the East German government won't."

Bach-Kara finally felt relieved when Bao Zixuan said this. After all, it was still acceptable for the East German government to work in Hong Kong.

Bach-Kara: "Currently Carl Zeiss has 2,400 workers. If retired workers are included, the number will exceed 2,800. I don't know if retired workers can continue to find jobs in Heiyun."

In fact, before the merger of Carl Zeiss, the East German side was always larger, but it just continued to operate.

Bao Zixuan: "It's no problem if they want to go to Xiangjiang, but the premise is that they can also complete their work well. After all, I am an entrepreneur, and their salary will not be less than anyone else. You and I are both technicians, I have great respect for old technicians, and now there are more than 100 of your old German technicians working in the Xiangjiang factory. You don’t have to worry about this."

Bach-Kara: "I will discuss with the staff of the Foreign Trade Commission before I can reply to you. But please don't worry, it will be very soon. We will wait for you at Carl Zeiss tomorrow."

Bao Zixuan knew the East German system, so he left Carl Zeiss and went to the hotel to rest without any hesitation.
