Chapter 533 Li Xiaolong returns to Hong Kong
The scale of the chip industry is very large. In human life, everything that uses electricity in the future may gradually use chips, such as lights, fans and even small toys;
The functions of many chips are also very simple, so the process requirements are not very high, and such chips are the mainstream of the market;
The vigorous chip war between China and the United States in the previous life was actually a battle for mobile phone chips. Because mobile phones require high computing power, are small in size, and difficult to dissipate heat, mobile phone chips can indeed be said to be the real crown jewel of the electronics industry;
But from the perspective of the entire chip industry, even if the profits of mobile phone chips are high, the proportion is not very high from the perspective of the entire chip industry. Moreover, smartphones have developed to a later stage. If you don’t play games, ordinary mobile phones will be useless after four or five years. Question
As a Chinese myself, it is indeed difficult to master the most high-end chip manufacturing process, but for other things, it is hard to say. At least there is a chance, and the same is true for liquid crystals.
At the very least, you can also master a certain industrial chain through various investments. However, because of your own existence, history may have changed a lot, and it is hard to say what the future will be like, so it is better to master a part of it yourself as much as possible. Negotiating prices with other suppliers can also be much more convenient.
On April 10, the sixth day after Yang Wendong and Su Yiyi came to Hong Kong, assistant Aying brought a message:
"Yang Sheng, Mrs. Yang, the price of Boeing's 737 aircraft has been reduced to 5.15 million US dollars." Aying said: "Their team said that this price is the lowest. No matter how low it is, they will not continue to negotiate."
"Okay, that's it. I will sign the contract before leaving the United States." Yang Wendong replied.
Su Yiyi asked: "Can't the price drop any further?"
US$5.15 million is not a small amount of money even for Yang Wendong. For Su Yiyi, the clothing industry she has worked hard on over the past few years has almost become the number one in Hong Kong, but her annual turnover is not that high. ;
I don’t know how many clothes I can change on a plane.
Yang Wendong said: "I guess it won't work. The demand for aircraft by airlines on the market is still very high, especially the 737 has made great progress in fuel efficiency. With the demand being very high, we don't have much negotiating advantage." .”
In fact, in five years, when the first oil crisis hits, it may be more cost-effective to buy your own plane;
But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Waiting for five years to save hundreds of thousands of dollars was not cost-effective. For him, time is the most important thing. This is why many CEOs of large companies have private jets, just to save him money. working hours and improve efficiency.
Aying continued: "Yang Sheng, Boeing said that we still need to be responsible for the interior decoration. Several companies will go to Hong Kong to find you, and then negotiate with you before doing the interior and exterior decoration."
"Okay, just ask them to come to Hong Kong to find me;" Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Naturally, he cannot stay in the United States for the interior decoration of a private jet. This is not a car. The interior decoration of a private jet is more complicated than a house, involving layout, color, materials, etc.
It is obviously more cost-effective to let the workers from these teams fly back and forth to the United States and Hong Kong. These people and the companies behind them may be able to get more fees and be happy.
"Okay, then I'll contact these companies right now." A Ying left after finishing speaking.
Su Yiyi said: "We will have our own plane soon. It's incredible to think about it."
"There will be more incredible things in the future." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Su Yiyi asked: "We already have airplanes and yachts, it's unlikely that there are other better ones, right?"
"I may change to a bigger one in the future." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: "Or if you really have money, you can buy a private submarine, but the risk is too high, so there is no need to specialize in this;
However, for safety reasons, one can be placed inside a large cruise ship to avoid the need to take a submarine in extreme situations. ”
In the past life, a few rich people also customized luxury submarines. The number was very small. They went to the bottom of the sea to see the scenery. However, it was not necessary for normal rich people. The risk was a bit high. It is estimated that only rich people seeking excitement would like to play this way;
< br>
However, as a safety measure for yachts, having an independent submarine can also be considered. Some 100-meter-long yachts can also accommodate a small submarine inside.
Although the possibility of use is almost 0, the super rich don't care about money, they just need to consider any situation that may arise, such as encountering a large tsunami, pirate threats, etc., then submarines will be useful.
On April 12, Yang Wendong welcomed a guest at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.
"Bruce, please sit down." Yang Wendong greeted with a smile. The person who came was naturally Li Xiaolong, whom he had met a few days ago;
I thought I wouldn't make any progress before leaving the United States, but I didn't expect that my assistant received a call from Li Xiaolong yesterday afternoon, saying that he wanted to meet Yang Wendong, so he made arrangements to leave this morning;
Bruce said: 'Thank you Yang Sheng. ’
Yang Wendong asked again: "How about it? Have you considered coming to my place?"
"Yes, I have discussed it with my family and am ready to return to Hong Kong for development." Li Xiaolong replied: "But before going to Hong Kong, I also need to confirm some things with Yang Sheng."
"Okay, you say." Yang Wendong nodded;
In fact, Yang Wendong doesn’t like the little business that Li Xiaolong’s movies can create in Hong Kong and Asia, but his fame in Asia after he becomes famous is the most valuable;
Not to mention myself, even Hollywood has taken a fancy to it. Historically, Li Xiaolong shot several Hong Kong films with the help of Golden Harvest, which became popular throughout Asia. Chinese Americans in Europe and America also liked it very much. Then Hollywood was immediately ready to cooperate with Golden Harvest;
At that time, Shao Yifu was so angry that his face was blue, and Jiahe was at the peak of his life. Unfortunately, Li Xiaolong died suddenly, causing all kinds of cooperation to fall short.
Naturally, I have to make full use of this in this life, and try my best to ensure his health and safety. Li Xiaolong said: "Some of my requirements are about movies. Yang Sheng said before that the first movie with US$10,000 is fine, but I need to be a director and screenwriter."
"You can be in charge of the plot, and I authorize you, but basically there are still people who work as directors and screenwriters, and they can cooperate with you." Yang Wendong added: "But you have to think clearly, if you are responsible for everything, if the movie fails later, Your future may be ruined.”
Li Xiaolong smiled and said: "Others are responsible for directing and writing the plot. If the movie fails, my future will still be ruined, so it is better to let me do it myself. At least I will be responsible for myself;
And I am still very confident in my own movies. The success of "The Green Hornet" before was also because many of the character's actions and plots were temporarily designed by me, and the director at the time was also optimistic about it;
Now that I am in charge of the film myself, I am absolutely confident that it will be successful, as long as everything goes according to my wishes. ”
"Okay, you have the final say on the first movie." Yang Wendong promised: "But if you make another movie later, I may also give you some opinions."
Let Li Xiaolong use his talents first and then see the results. This is also the insistence of a capable person. If he is prevented, the cooperation may not go smoothly;
For Changxing Film Company, even if they actually make a few movies, it is nothing. What's more, with Li Xiaolong's martial arts and understanding of martial arts, even if the plot is not good, it will still have good results.
Li Xiaolong smiled and said: "Okay, in addition, I don't have a place to live in Hong Kong, so I would like to ask Yang Sheng to take care of me in this regard."
"Don't worry, I will definitely arrange your life, and I will also provide you with a driver. You have been in the United States for many years. You may not be used to left and right steering. For safety reasons, it is better not to drive."
This cost of living is nothing to Yang Wendong. Not to mention Li Xiaolong, even some senior overseas technical personnel recruited by his own companies also have special living arrangements;
Of course, in terms of arrangements, Li Xiaolong's conditions are definitely better. After all, he is the only one in the world, and it is also related to the future strategic planning of Changxing Group.

Li Xiaolong said happily: "Thank you Yang Sheng, when will we set off?"
"I'm going to Seattle in a few days, but if you want to go to Hong Kong, you have to do one more thing." Yang Wendong added: "I will arrange for you to go to the best hospital in Los Angeles for a full-body examination."
There are many rumors about the cause of death of the future kung fu superstar, including the recurrence of old diseases, drug overdose, and even rumors of murder. No one knows the details;
Now that Li Xiaolong has to work for himself, and his health will affect the planning and development of his industry, he naturally needs to do a physical examination first. At least if the cause of death is due to physical reasons, then there are some things that can be found out now. Physical hazards are also good;
However, the medical technology in this era is not necessarily that strong, so we can only do our best.
"Physical examination? That's okay." Li Xiaolong didn't think much about it. Some large companies in the United States will also require physical examinations when joining the company, but ordinary actors will not;
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Okay, tomorrow morning on an empty stomach, I will arrange a car to pick you up at your home, and I will also do a physical examination with you."
In order to ensure his health, he built a professional medical examination hospital in Hong Kong. However, due to technical limitations, it still cannot compare with the top hospitals in the United States. In this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that the United States is a technological beacon;
Since he came to the United States once and arranged for Li Xiaolong to have a full body check-up, he naturally did the same as well.
The next day, Yang Wendong, Su Yiyi and Li Xiaolong underwent half-day examinations at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Los Angeles. In addition to high-dose CT, all other available examinations were also performed.
Li Xiaolong was shocked by so many examinations. At noon, when the three of them were eating at the VIP restaurant inside the hospital, Li Xiaolong asked in confusion: "Yang Sheng, is this physical examination too much?"
The salary for his first movie with Yang Wendong was only US$10,000, but with so many inspections today, it is estimated to be almost this amount. Medical prices in the United States have always been very expensive, especially in large private hospitals like this.
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "It's okay. High-value people naturally have to undergo higher-value examinations. Making money and becoming famous are secondary. Health is more important."
If Hong Kong's pharmaceutical and medical research and development conditions were not so poor, then he might have invested in medicine, especially some top-notch medical equipment, etc. It is not just a matter of making money, but if he can invent something in advance, he may save lives. How many lives.
"Thank you Yang Sheng." After the test was completed, Li Xiaolong naturally could only say thank you.
Yang Wendong added: "I have asked the hospital to issue a report as soon as possible. You will see it in two days, but we will go to Seattle together first. Someone will send the report here;
If you have any questions, you can also retest in Seattle. ”
"Okay." Li Xiaolong naturally had no objection to this arrangement;
Traveling with a super rich man, even if he doesn't have a salary, is still a good deal.
The next day, the group came to Seattle again. Yang Wendong signed a contract with Boeing and then returned directly from Seattle to Hong Kong.
