Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

"5000 Hong Kong dollars? Sure!" Blue Whale shouted and agreed without hesitation.

At the same time, Blue Whale couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly profitable the gaming industry is.

Xiaoshan offered him a "friendly price" of 5000 yuan per unit, and made it clear beforehand that he could not sell to others at this price.

Xiao Shan asked, "How many machines does Mr. Zhou need?"

Blue Whale hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's start with 1000 units. After all, it's the club's money, and I need to show others the benefits first!"

"No problem!" Xiao Shan nodded. "Mr. Zhou can just go to Taishan Games Company and talk to Manager Simon later!"

Blue Whale then thought of another question: "By the way, Xiao Sheng, Taishan Games will definitely have more than just this one game in the future, right? What will happen to these machines when new games come out?"

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry about that!" Xiao Shan said with a smile, looking at the Blue Whale. "Although our games will be updated and upgraded, the metal case and display screen are interchangeable. If Taishan Games releases other games in the future, we only need to replace the motherboard!"

Hearing Xiao Shan's words, Blue Whale couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it's easy to guess that the motherboard won't be cheap, it certainly won't cost as much as 5000 yuan!

In just one week, Taishan Arcade became a sensation throughout Hong Kong.

Several other groups, envious of this business, also approached Taishan Games Company to purchase arcade machines.

Suddenly, all the triads in Hong Kong started getting into the arcade business.

Because Tung Sing had a lot of influence with the coachmen, Camel simply bought a batch of arcade machines from Taishan Games and shipped them directly to Europe.

The arcade game became an instant hit when it reached the coachman's shop.

This led many European organizations to send people to Hong Kong to order machines from Taishan Games.

Xiao Shan didn't expect that before the gangs from Macau and Japan even came to him, gangs from Europe had already contacted him.

Just after seeing off the businessmen sent by the European organization, Luo Huiling came to tell Xiao Shan that a businessman from South Korea wanted to see him.

"Who are the people from the Korean side?" Xiao Shan asked Luo Huiling.

“She’s from Samsung Group!” Luo Huiling said to Xiao Shan. “To be precise, she’s Hong Luoxi, the wife of Lee Geon-hee, the third son of Samsung Group Chairman Lee Geon-hee!”

Xiao Shan had heard of Samsung Group before, especially in his previous life.

This is the uncrowned king of South Korea!

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Shan said to Luo Huiling, "Let him in."

Not long after, Luo Huiling brought a man and a woman into Xiaoshan's office.

The woman is Hong Luoxi, and the man is probably her translator.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hong Luoxi got straight to the point: "Mr. Xiao, I saw your company's Taishan Cubes in Hong Kong before, and I personally found them very interesting. On behalf of Samsung Group, I hope to invest in expanding production capacity. Mr. Xiao, can you name your price?"

After patiently listening to the translation, Xiao Shan smiled and bluntly refused, saying, "Taishan Games' production capacity is currently sufficient, so there's no need for Samsung Group to invest!"

What utter nonsense about expanding production capacity! They're clearly just after the project itself!

It's important to know that Xiaoshan has a very deep obsession with "absolute control".

Faced with Xiao Shan's direct refusal, Hong Luoxi narrowed her eyes and slowly said, "I can invest 300 million... Hong Kong dollars!"

Clearly, Hong Luoxi knew that the Korean coin was unreliable, so she settled directly in Hong Kong dollars.

"It's not about the money!" Xiao Shan shook his head and said, "We simply can't reach an agreement, so there's no need to talk about it. Let's just drop this matter!"

Although Taishan Games currently only offers one game, Taishan Blocks, countless classic games will emerge in the future. This is a gold mine for Xiaoshan!

Hong Luoxi's perception of Xiao Shan changed once again, and she also sensed his strong confidence.

When discussing business, the more easily you give up or agree, the more suspicious people will become that there is something wrong with the company or project.

On the contrary, the more they refuse, the more they believe it's a good project with unlimited potential, which is why they are reluctant to let go.

"What if I buy the machine?" Hong Luoxi asked after thinking for a moment.

Hong Luoxi happened to be in Hong Kong on business this time. After seeing the popularity of Taishan Cube, she subconsciously felt that it was a money-making project, so she directly approached Xiaoshan.

If we can acquire a stake in Taishan Games, we will enter the market under the name of Samsung Group.

Since Xiaoshan has firmly refused to accept the investment, I can only buy a few machines in my personal name to play around with.

“HKD 6000 per unit, free shipping for orders of 1000 units!” Xiao Shan replied without hesitation.

Although Xiaoshan has no good feelings towards the Koreans, he believes in honesty and fairness in business!

"6000? Impossible!" After hearing the translation, Hong Luoxi subconsciously felt that Xiao Shan was trying to scam her.

"See, I told you we couldn't reach an agreement," Xiao Shan said with a smile.

Hong Luoxi was speechless.

It's one thing to refuse equity investment, but is this how you sell products?

Little did they know that Taishan Games' arcade factory was barely able to keep up with orders from Hong Kong and Europe, so Xiaoshan was not in a hurry to find a seller.

"Hmph!" Hong Luoxi glanced at Xiao Shan unhappily and said, "Then 1000 units, when will they be delivered?"

One thousand units, six million—she could afford that amount herself without Samsung Group even having to lift a finger.

Furthermore, since it is not a family asset, once the arcade becomes profitable, all profits will belong to the couple.

"One month, I guess!" Xiao Shan said after thinking for a moment.

Governor's Palace.

Mai Lihao has been paying close attention to the successive establishment of Taishan Investigation Institute, Taishan Office, and Taishan Game Company in Xiaoshan.

However, MacLehose did not expect that Taishan Games in Xiaoshan would rise to prominence so quickly.

Not only are Taishan Games arcade machines everywhere in Hong Kong, but even Europe and South Korea come to Taishan Games to get their products.

However, for MacLehose, he only wanted to limit Xiao Shan's development in the media field.

As for Taishan Games, he could even provide support.

Restrictions are intended to prevent the formation of conglomerates within closed industrial chains, while support is intended to promote economic development.

As Governor, Murray MacLehose's job was to consider the overall interests of Hong Kong.

"Has Taishan TV not made a move yet?" Mai Lihao asked softly.

The secretary shook her head and replied, "No, since Taishan Group acquired Jiayi, it has been undergoing rectification. Even the radio station has made very little progress."

Mai Lihao frowned and instructed, "Don't worry about the TV station itself. Focus on Taishan Publishing House; that's the foundation of the Taishan Group! Urge the Taishan Group to launch their TV station as soon as possible!"

The secretary nodded and said to MacLehose, "Speaking of Taishan Publishing House, they are preparing a program called 'Lectures on the Three Kingdoms,' which was created in collaboration with professors from the Chinese University of Hong Kong."

Three Kingdoms Forum?

Although MacLehose was a Johnny, he also knew about traditional Chinese culture.

Just by hearing the name of this program, you can tell that it is closely related to the audio field.

However, oral history is not an audiobook; it can be transformed through digital media, filmed, and broadcast on television.

Moreover, although oral history is a broadcast program, it can also be considered an educational program. It can only be said that Xiaoshan has skirted the line in this regard.

It is clear that Xiaoshan has begun to prepare for the digital media field.

"Is there anything else?" MacLehose asked again.

This single program is far from sufficient to meet the eight-hour educational duration; Xiaoshan needs to produce other programs as well.

The secretary carefully reviewed the documents in her hand and replied, "Also, there are three comics from Taishan Publishing House. Even before they've been published, they've already started experimenting with animation production!"

"That's good!" Mai Lihao finally smiled.

Therefore, as long as you keep a close eye on Taishan Publishing House, you can see every move Taishan Group makes in the media field.

It seems that Xiaoshan's next step is to enter the animation field!

This was exactly what MacLehose wanted to do.

As long as Xiao Shan obediently continues running his half-crippled television station, his media empire will never be complete, and ultimately, it will be unable to form a perfect closed loop.

This way, it won't impact other industries in Hong Kong.

"Report to me immediately if Taishan Group develops a closed loop in the media field," MacLehose instructed.

"Ok!"

Last time, it was because of a moment of carelessness that Xiaoshan got the radio.

This time, MacLehose won't make the same mistake again.

Chapter 624, Appoint Lou Xiao'e as General Manager! (Please Subscribe!)

Lan Kwai Fong, Central District.

The newly established Taishan Survey Institute is located on the street opposite Lan Kwai Fong.

After the establishment of the Taishan Investigation Institute, it dispatched various "investigators" to be stationed in various industries under the Taishan Group.

These investigators only accept guidance from the branch office manager and do not accept instructions or assignments.

At the same time, lawyers from Taishan Law Firm were also assigned to various branches of Taishan Group.

Taishan Group is gradually getting back on track, which is a necessary transformation process before it can become a conglomerate.

But there is still a long way to go.

Finance, cleaning, logistics, cooking, engineering maintenance... all of these need to be separated and managed separately.

This will make the company more competitive.

These things need to be handled one by one and improved little by little.

Even if Xiaoshan has the advantage of chat groups, these things can't be rushed.

At this moment, Xiao Shan was at the Taishan Survey Institute, listening to the institute's general manager, Lou Xiao'e, report on the institute's work.

The investigation team held a crucial position within the Taishan Group, and Xiaoshan could only entrust the task to someone he trusted.

At this time in Hong Kong, besides his own family, Xiao Shan trusted Lou Xiao'e the most.

Lou Xiao'e was very willing to accept Xiaoshan's invitation to become the general manager of the Taishan Survey Institute.

So the two hit it off.

As the investigation team on Mount Tai became more meticulous in its work, more and more problems gradually came to light.

Some things that Xiao Shan finds utterly ridiculous actually exist and have a profound impact on the company.

The factories' canteens are all managed by the individual factories themselves, which has led to a series of problems such as cooks stealing meat and vegetables and falsifying accounts.

Cleaning services can also earn extra money from issues such as damage and consumption, since it's impossible for the heads of each branch office to inspect every mop, broom, or rag.

The financial problems are even bigger!

Even the hands of a butcher can get a little oily, let alone when hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars flow through their hands.

They didn't embezzle much; some even took less than a hundred Hong Kong dollars.

But this is not how a company should be!

It's no wonder that the front office is the hardest place to recruit in every branch office, because even the lower-level employees know that the front office is a "low-paying department".

If Lou Xiao'e hadn't been so perceptive, the arrogant CEOs and Xiaoshan would never have seen these things.

This further strengthens Xiaoshan's determination to integrate resources.

Fortunately, the heads of the various branches did not disappoint Xiaoshan; otherwise, the problems would not have been so simple.

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's report, Xiao Shan smiled and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Sister Xiao'e, thank you for your hard work!"

"Since you know I've been working so hard, then give me a bigger paycheck!" Lou Xiao'e closed the file and said to Xiao Shan with a smile.

Xiao Shan replied without hesitation, "Since Sister Xiao'e has spoken, of course there's no problem!"

After having lunch with Lou Xiao'e outside, Xiao Shan took a car to Jiayi TV Station, which was under renovation.

No, it should be renamed Taishan TV Station now.

Because Xiaoshan had contacted the TV station in advance, all the station's top executives were present today, waiting for Xiaoshan, the new boss, to give them a speech.
