Chapter 249: discerning gold

"Where's Ah Hong, I don't seem to have seen her? You, a great lover, are not alone today!" Xu Jiankui walked over to Li Xuan with a glass of wine and smiled. ∏∈∏∈ǎn∏∈small ∏∈ says,

"She was a little unwell today and didn't come here!" Li Xuan explained.

"You two idol lovers are envious of others! I was scolded by your sister-in-law for not caring about people. In order not to be used as a negative teaching material, I have already booked a one-week trip to Europe for two, do you have to reimburse me for the round trip? Airfare!" Xu Jiankui showed an expression of being implicated by you.

Husband put aside all the affairs of a billion-dollar company, and accompany his new wife on their honeymoon, and traveled all over Europe for more than a month. Zhong Chuhong was called the happiest woman by the entertainment page of the Hong Kong newspaper.

"This is a great opportunity for you to express your love to your sister-in-law, and you even want me to pay for it. Aren't you afraid of being punished by your sister-in-law for kneeling on the keyboard when you go back?" Li Xuan scolded with a smile.

Xu Jiankui didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment before he understood what Li Xuan meant: "You people in the technology world are not ordinary, husbands and wives use keyboards instead of washboards for quarrels! Have you experienced it for yourself? I'll go when I look back. Break the news to the reporter, the news of you Hong Kong's first couple is very valuable!"

"I'm like the kind of person with a weak husband! Ah Hong is notoriously virtuous, I say one and she will never say two! The red flag at home doesn't fall, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside, my current life is not too moist! "Li Xuan opened his mouth and said boastfully.

"I think after your marriage, your kid is really different, and you are more and more like people of my generation! Is it like being written in martial arts, you are being dǐng by the masters of the world. Your realm has improved very quickly! "Xu Jiankui smiled, "What about your confidante? You have the ability to bring her out to make a bright appearance! Only then can I believe that you really are the red flag. The colorful flags are fluttering!"

Lizhi has not returned to Hong Kong since Li Xuan returned to Shanghai to accompany her grandmother before her wedding. It is said that she hired a foreign language teacher in Shanghai to study English. As I mentioned to him before, the idea of ​​wanting to study in the United States began to appear again.

Li Xuan knew that she was playing a petty temper, so he married Zhong Chuhong grandly, held a world-striking wedding of the century, and then took his newlywed wife on their honeymoon to enjoy a sweet private space. But Lizhi can only be an underground lover without a name, and there must be a lot of sadness and sadness in her heart.

In fact, after Li Xuan returned to Hong Kong, he immediately called the beauty to comfort her with kind words. But Lizhi was so **** off that he was only willing to return to Hong Kong if he had to go to the mainland to pick him up in person. Li Xuan felt that he couldn't get used to her troubles. So as not to be more pampered and arrogant in the future, I'm going to let her dry for a while. What's more, he just returned to Hong Kong, and there are many things in the company.

"Who is this next to you?" Li Xuan naturally wouldn't tell outsiders about these things, so he simply changed the subject. He had already noticed the bearded white man in a navy blue suit who came forward with Xu Jiankui.

"You, the famous 'God of Wealth Li', has already traveled overseas to Haiweizhen! You have made another 300 million US dollars in the account without making a sound, and the bank's money printing machine is not as fast as you! This ghost is me. The senior management of Merrill Lynch Bank, a financial advisor, specially flew from the United States to Hong Kong, hoping to get to know you through my introduction!" Xu Jiankui explained. The two of them kept talking in Cantonese until at last he said in English, "This is my new friend, Mr. Carter Friedman from Merrill Lynch!"

Li Xuan smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Mr. Friedman. Welcome to Hong Kong!"

"Mr. Li, I'm Carter Friedman, who is in charge of the underwriting and listing business of Merrill Lynch. You can call me Carter! We at Merrill Lynch are very interested in the upcoming listing plan of Computer Park. We hope to get a deal with you. An opportunity for in-depth communication!" Friedman said frankly.

"Of course!" Li Xuan nodded, "Merrill Lynch is one of the most reputable and powerful investment banks on Wall Street. Thank you for flying all the way to Hong Kong! I also look forward to the opportunity to cooperate with Merrill Lynch. !"

These are the words of the scene, and Friedman did not dare to despise the smiling young man in front of him. "Personal computer" is becoming one of the hottest terms in American society right now. And the rapidly growing personal computer market. It also makes Wall Street generally optimistic about related companies.

Even with Apple, which has been underperforming in the past year and its market share has been declining, many securities institutions still recommend that their clients continue to hold Apple shares. And Aikang Computer, a listed company under the Oriental Group, is unanimously favored by American investors. Now another computer-related company of the Eastern Company suddenly launched a listing plan, which naturally attracted the attention of the entire Wall Street.

The computer garden company's own data are also very good. Relying on the continuous large-scale investment of the parent company, it has occupied a share of the entire computer retail market, which is far ahead of other competitors, and has also taken the lead in starting a global layout. Although it has been losing money, it is nothing to Wall Street, they are looking at the future development prospects. As for the U.S. dollar, the most important thing on Wall Street is the U.S. dollar!

"Mr. Lee, the whole of Hollywood is praising you for your insight! The clip of playing Mario Bros with o in "Alien" is very interesting, and I bought one for my daughter, which is really good A great game console!"

Friedman was not in a hurry, and immediately communicated with Li Xuan about the Computer Park Company. He was used to such business receptions and knew very well what topics to talk about. It shouldn't be too serious, it should be relaxed but resonate with the other party, so he immediately found a good cut-in and started to praise Li Xuan enthusiastically.

"Alien" was released in the United States on June 11. The ugly alien conquered the entire United States in an instant, and Li Xuan's investment last year also reaped huge returns. The home console of the Oriental Game Company, appeared in the film for more than half a minute.

There is such a paragraph in the plot of the movie, the little boy O, who was brought home, played "Mario Brothers" in front of the TV with a game console. o's level is very bad, and the plumber he controls died shortly after. So while watching, I used a special function on the TV. Mario on the TV screen was like an invincible plug-in. It was not controlled by the gamepad in o's hand at all. It moved forward and jumped automatically. It was much more powerful than when he was controlling it. The little boy stared very depressed.

"Alien", an alternative sci-fi film with a touch of warmth and full of children's truth, goodness and beauty, is undoubtedly the most talked about topic in the United States this summer. This can also be seen from the horror box office created by the movie. "Alien" swept the box office charts immediately after its release, and has won the North American box office championship for 6 consecutive weeks. Its momentum surpassed that of "Star Wars" that year, and it has a good chance of becoming the new highest-grossing movie of all time.

Now everything that has something to do with "Alien" is on fire. Dongfang Game Company's home game consoles, driven by the movie, have been selling like crazy. The "Mario Brothers" game that appeared in the movie, the sales momentum has slowed down after more than a year, but with the blessing of this cardiotonic, it began to erupt again like chicken blood.

Not long ago, there was news that Atari had offered $20 million to Universal Pictures to buy the game adaptation rights of the movie. But it was already in the pocket of Li Xuan as early as last year. Universal Pictures' o is probably crying and fainting in the toilet now. Universal Pictures originally thought that it had made a good deal. Just relying on one advertisement placement, it recovered half of the production cost of the film. Unexpectedly, it ended up suffering a big loss.

Orient Games spent just $4 million, and it paid off handsomely. It is said that this has been collected and analyzed by Harvard University, and as one of the most successful and successful business cases, it will soon appear in the teaching of the ba course in the next semester.

And Dongfang Game Company took advantage of this craze~www.readwn.com~ and launched a variety of alien games in one go. For example, a small game called "Go Home in a Spaceship", which was released simultaneously on the game console and a handheld console. The content of the game is very simple, that is, keep jumping upwards in the air, step by step to board the springboards that move fast or slow, and keep moving back and forth, and finally arrive at the spaceship.

If the player can't control the rhythm and fail to jump to the springboard at the most appropriate time, once the player steps on the air, he will lose a life. The game is aor after losing three lives!

In Li Xuan's view, the quality of this game can only be considered to have reached a basic level, and it is far from being a classic game. But game fans are still buying frantically and having fun. Judging from the player feedback collected by the game magazine "Game World" under the Oriental Group, the reputation of these new games launched by Oriental Games is not bad.

In another time and space, it is precisely because Atari played the adaptation game of "Alien" that it caused the collapse of the entire North American home game console market. Naturally, Li Xuan will not repeat the same mistakes. In the past year, the three major game R&D centers in Hong Kong, the United States and Japan under Dongfang Game Company proposed no less than 30 alien game ideas, and only 6 games were finally completed and approved for listing. These games may not be classics, but they definitely contain enough sincerity and are not shoddy. (To be continued..)
