Chapter 600 602, Is This Funny?
[………
Ma Xiping: Baojie, let me tell you, something big has happened in the mainland.
Liu Baojie: Teacher Ma, what big thing has happened?
Ma Xiping: There is a high-tech enterprise in the mainland called Lianxiang, just like Asus in Taiwan Province, it produces computers, do you know?
Liu Baojie: Of course I know! This is a mainland company listed in Hong Kong. According to last year's financial report, Lianxiang Group achieved a turnover of approximately HK$27.22 billion, an increase of 56% over the previous year's turnover of HK$17.45 billion.
Profit attributable to shareholders was approximately HK$860 million, an increase of 79% over last year's profit attributable to shareholders of HK$481 million.
Ma Xiping: Haha..., you are right.
But Baojie, I tell you, it is about to go bankrupt, do you believe it?
Liu Baojie: How is it possible?
The current market value of this company is HK$80 billion, and its turnover this year has reached HK$27.2 billion, 56% higher than last year. For this reason, the chairman of the board of directors of Lianxiang Group has publicly called for the company to enter the Fortune Global 500 within two years...
How could it possibly go bankrupt?
Ma Xiping: Haha..., Baojie, when the news came out this morning, I also thought so, how could Lianxiang Group go bankrupt?
But after reading the reports of the mainland media, I realized that it was indeed going to go bankrupt.
Because starting next year, all computers produced by Lianxiang Group will no longer be able to use the standard accessory of the mouse.
Liu Baojie: Ah..., how is it possible? A computer cannot be used without a mouse.
Ma Xiping: Of course it is possible.
Because the mouse we use on our computers now is a laser optical mouse using LaserStream technology, and this mouse was invented by Damai Technology Company last year and successfully obtained patents in more than 170 countries and regions around the world.
Now, the company has officially announced that it will stop licensing patents to Lianxiang Group from January 1, 2002.
Liu Baojie: Ah…】
In the past, when Han Shanye saw the political talk shows in Taiwan Province, he always regarded such shows as crosstalk sketches.
So funny!
These people are so funny!
They can always make some fictitious things sound like real things.
But today, Han Shanye, sitting in the [Shanxian Mutton Soup Restaurant] near Cunyi Road in Taichung, did not have the slightest intention of laughing.
I have said more than once during the meeting at the China Film Group that Sun Hao is not so easy to mess with. Although he is young, he has many tricks.
Even if he is arm-wrestling with Liu Chuanzhi, who has a wide network of contacts and is worldly-wise, he may not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
Let's see..., how is it?
Now, do you know you regret it?
Liu Chuanzhi took away Sun Hao's money for filming, and Sun Hao took away the mouse on Lianxiang's product in one move.
The money supply is gone, but it is only temporary. The box office of Sun Hao's movies is so high, some of which are company investments. After all, Lianxiang is not big enough to swallow Sun Hao; but if the mouse on the computer is gone, haha... I ask you if this is funny? !
Well, I think it is quite funny, because as soon as the news of Damai Technology's suspension of patent authorization to Lianxiang Group came out, Lianxiang Group's stock price in Hong Kong fell for three consecutive days...
Of course, this is not the most terrifying!
The most terrifying thing is that Lianxiang Group found through inquiries at the State Patent Office that Damai Technology has registered an astonishing 9,558 patents for many electronic products such as laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile phones in the past two years, of which more than 4,000 are key patents that cannot be avoided.
Lianxiang Group has just invested 12.5 billion yuan to introduce its own mobile phone production line from Motorola in the United States.
………
Hey, the layman leading the experts in China Film Group may regret it. He regretted that Liu Chuanzhi should not have said hello to a certain leader, and he took the investment in "Journey to the West" on his own initiative.
But it's too late to regret!
Because once the cracks are created, there is no going back to the past.
Sitting at the table, watching TV, drinking tea, Han Shanye was thinking about all sorts of things...
Suddenly, the door of the mutton soup restaurant was pushed open.
"Mr. Han, why are you here?"
At this time, Sun Hao, wearing a white T-shirt, walked in quickly from the door, followed by Yu Dong, who was smiling, and Fan Jiuyi, who was graceful.
"I'm here to apologize to you!
Originally, I should have come here in person a few days ago, but Sun Hao, you also know that it is really not easy for me to come to Taiwan Province with my identity, and it requires careful review by both sides.
But fortunately, I still came."
Like an old friend.
Han Shanye opened his arms when he saw Sun Hao and gave him a bear hug.
"Thank you, Mr. Han. Actually, it's not necessary. I know it's not your idea to withdraw the investment!"
"It's not my idea, but I have to come because I am responsible for the project investment of China Film Group."
Han Shanye smiled and led Sun Hao to his seat.
"How is the filming of "Prison Break" going?"
"Today is September 5th, right?
Well, it will be finished around September 11th or 12th." Sun Hao couldn't be sure about the completion time of "Prison Break" because there were a lot of unexpected factors recently. The struggle between Damai Technology and Lianxiang Group alone took up a lot of his energy.
"Then..., what are your plans after the TV series is finished?"
"I am fully preparing for "Journey to the West: Lion and Camel Ridge". I am thinking that after the filming of this movie is completed, I will give myself a long vacation. It will take at least 1 to 2 years. I want to have a good rest." They are very happy with each other. Familiar with each other, at this point, Sun Hao felt that there was no need to hide it.
"Is it because China Film Group's withdrawal hurt your heart?"
"Not really, mainly because I'm a little tired."
"Then..., who will invest in "Journey to the West: Lion and Camel Ridge"?" After a moment of silence, Han Shanye still asked this crucial question.
"Yinghuang, Bona, and my big film and television company."
"You don't plan to find another one?"
"No!"
This time, before Sun Hao could answer, Yu Dong, who had been smiling happily, shook his head firmly.
Han Shanye wanted to ask again, but saw Yu Dong wink at him.
We are all smart people!
Han Shanye thought about it for a moment and understood what Yu Dong meant. Although he didn't have China Film Group's share, he did have your share.
Ha ha…
Han Shanye was greatly relieved, and the frustration just now was instantly gone. Regardless of whether the food was served or not, he raised his wine glass and said to Sun Hao and Yu Dong:
"Mingren don't tell secret words, thank you!"
"Hey... Mr. Han, you're welcome!"
Sun Hao and Yu Dong also raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Haozi..."
"Um?"
"When I came here, Director Yu from the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee came to me specifically. She asked me to ask you two questions?"
"Okay, you say."
Due to the successful bid for the Olympic Games, Yu Qing's official title was successfully transferred from the Office Director of the Olympic Bid Committee to the Office Director of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee.
"First, you cannot use a mouse on the computers produced by Lianxiang Company. This trick is too poisonous. When do you plan to use it?"
"Um…"
When Sun Hao heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he understood who Yu Qing was asking for.
"Technology knows no borders. This is Mr. Liu's wise saying. I plan to use it until he swallows his words."
Forehead…
Although he didn't quite understand what Sun Hao meant by his reply, Han Shanye still took note of his words and then continued to ask.
"Second, Lianxiang Group has just spent 12.5 billion yuan to build a mobile phone department. Is it possible for Damai Technology to facilitate the mobile phone project?"
"Impossible, as long as there are patents related to Damai Technology, we will not license them to Lianxiang!"
"okay, I get it."
Han Shanye nodded and never mentioned such topics again.
But just because he didn't mention it, it didn't mean that others didn't mention it. Just now, Fan Jiuyi, who had been sitting next to him and was responsible for pouring wine, was very curious.
After enduring it for a while, he finally asked: "Mr. Han, director, Brother Dong, can I ask you a question?"
"certainly!"
Yu Dong patted her shoulder with his hand.
"I think the mouse cannot be used on Leanxiang computers. This is a very small matter. What's the big deal? They will lower the price of the computers and let customers install their own mice?"
"Ha ha……"
At this time, Han Shanye, Yu Dong, and Sun Hao suddenly laughed.
Especially Yu Dong, this guy laughed and said: "Jiu Yi, Lianxiang is a listed company. It brags all day long about how much research and development expenses the company has invested and how many patents it has obtained...
But now, computers can’t even use a mouse. Do you think any stupid investor would dare to buy their stocks again? "
