Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Bao Zixuan's drinking capacity once again showed everyone what a huge amount of alcohol can be, including Zhang Yuliang, who also felt that this guy was really good at drinking. But what made him happy was that after drinking, he didn't cause trouble, let alone mess around. This was the most important thing to Zhang Yuliang.

After all, it is also a matter of investigating the son-in-law. If he sees something messy with his own eyes and tells his daughter that it may ruin the marriage, but if he doesn't tell his daughter but feels sorry for him, he must be in a conflict.

Zhang Yuliang returned home with a satisfactory result. When he came to Huo Mansion today, he learned a lot about new things, and at the same time he had integrated into the Chinese business circle. This was the biggest gain.

Jenny is a reporter from Fortune Magazine. She has been preparing for the visit with her team in Hong Kong in the past two days. Fortune Magazine, as the world's top financial magazine, has a very large circulation and is well received by readers. However, this also puts huge pressure on them invisibly; if your content is not novel and in-depth, readers will not buy it. Who makes you a Fortune magazine?

Being able to interview Bao Zixuan, the richest man in Hong Kong, is a very rare opportunity. The achievements of this genius who graduated from MIT in the United States are really amazing. Many times I don’t even dare to write like this in novels. It can be said that my life in the past five years has been more exciting than the movie.

Jenny was envied by reporters all over the world for having the opportunity to interview Bao Zixuan, so she didn't dare to be careless, let alone make any mistakes.

After leaving Huo Yingdong's house, Bao Zixuan did not go home. Instead, he went directly to Tianshuiwei Heiyun Factory; he checked the research and development status of Weasel Factory before returning to the dormitory to rest.

Tomorrow I will be interviewed by Fortune magazine, so I still need to pay attention to my image, at least not to look too tired.

At 9 o'clock the next morning, the Fortune magazine team came to Bao Zixuan's office. Fortune magazine also attaches great importance to this exclusive interview. Bao Zixuan is a leader of young entrepreneurs in the world and also has huge influence in the United States. Fortune magazine believes that the sales volume of this issue will definitely not be bad.

After a brief introduction, Janey said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Mr. Bao, for accepting the exclusive interview with Fortune Magazine. It is my honor to interview you."

When others are complimenting you, you should be polite no matter what. Mutual respect is the basic rule of life.

Bao Zixuan: "You're welcome, Miss Jane. Fortune magazine is the most authoritative economic magazine in the world. It's an honor for me to receive the invitation. I am a loyal reader of Fortune magazine, and Fortune magazine is also one of the must-read publications for corporate employees. one."

Jenny didn't expect Bao Zixuan to be so generous, so she said with a smile: "Being recognized by Mr. Bao is the greatest compliment for our magazine, but it is also pressure on us. It seems that Fortune Magazine will need to continue to improve in the future to satisfy people like Mr. Bao." and excellent readers like Black Cloud Group.”

Jenny wanted to start the conversation in the form of a chat, so that everyone could relax, at least not so awkward.

Jenny: "I heard that Mr. Bao grew up in a single-parent family and has never seen his father since he was a child. Your mother and son's life must have been very difficult when you were young!"

Bao Zixuan: "Yes, I have never met my father. Fortunately, I have a great mother. Although I studied well since I was a child, I saw my mother working hard alone several times and I wanted to drop out of school and work."

"But my mother, who has been very obedient to me since childhood, has no room for negotiation on this matter. No matter how hard she works, she still wants me to study. Not only that, in order to broaden my horizons, she must also ask me to study abroad. In her heart, Xiangjiang This place is still too small, and if you want to achieve big development, you have to go out and see the whole world.”

"I didn't get a full scholarship to study in the UK, and I thought that going directly to Xiangjiang University might relieve my mother's pressure. But my mother didn't agree anyway, so she frugally scraped together to pay for my tuition."

"I was worried that my life would not be good in the UK, so most of the money I earned in those years was remitted to me. In order to support my education, I could work from dawn to dusk all year round."

The reporters from Fortune magazine were very moved when they heard this. Janey said seriously: "Your mother is not only described as great, she also has a far-sighted vision that is beyond ordinary people."

"If he dropped out of school or studied in Xiangjiang, there would be no Heiyun Group as it is now. The world would be short of one of the top engineers."

"The original purpose of the office software you developed at MIT was to help mothers reduce stress. MIT teachers and students also gave it a warm name 'Mom's Notepad'. Can you tell us about it?"

This was a publicity plan that Bao Zixuan used to promote the software at that time. Unexpectedly, it has already resonated around the world. A young genius from MIT developed office software to help single mothers reduce work stress, which makes the software more affectionate.

Bao Zixuan: "My mother is an accountant, but in order to take care of me, she cannot work in a large company. If she goes to work, no one will take care of me, so she can only help small companies with accounting at home."

"At the same time, I found dozens of small companies in order to make more money, which made me work very hard every day. Accounting is a very delicate job, and there cannot be any mistakes in numbers and amounts."

"Mother has to work until midnight every day, especially at the end of every month, without any rest."

"Ever since I was a child, I have been thinking about whether I could invent a machine to replace my mother's work, so that she would have more time to spend with me and not have to work so hard."

“It wasn’t until I went to Oxford to study and saw computers that I discovered that there was such a machine that could improve work efficiency, so I started to pay attention to computer programming.”

"When I came to MIT, the world's number one computer university, I discovered that I could use software to complete my work; it was under this background that Black Cloud Office Software came into being."

“When Professor Harry Rowland knew the purpose and original intention of developing this software, he named it Mom’s Notepad.”

After hearing this, many people feel that this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people; ordinary people only think about whether they can do less work and things will be solved! Genius is thinking about how to use technology to improve work efficiency and make work easier.

Jenny: “This really makes Black Cloud Office Software legendary, and the name is very appropriate.”

"More than 10 million people around the world are now using this software, and 5 million of them are mothers. It can be said that it has greatly improved the work efficiency of these mothers."

"Your first product was a game. How did Xiangjiang Cube come up with the idea to develop this game?"

Bao Zixuan: "The Xiangjiang Cube was inspired by building a house. When we were building a house, we had to lay different bricks into a flat surface. Then I thought about whether it could be implemented on a computer, and that's how the cube game came about."

"When the game came out, it was necessary to give it a name and promote it. I happened to be in Xiangjiang at that time, so I called it Xiangjiang Cube."

Bao Zixuan couldn't say it was to test the performance of the computer. No one would believe him if he said so.

Jenny: "Then where did the inspiration for Pac-Man come from? Everyone is very curious. After all, this game has a terrible sales volume around the world, mainly because of its creativity; so everyone is very curious about what they saw before they thought of it. this game."

Fortunately, Bao Zixuan was prepared and said with a smile: "The inspiration for Pac-Man came from eating pizza. One time I picked up a sliced ​​pizza and ate it. At that time, I didn't notice that there was still an unfinished bean on my hand. . By coincidence, the bean landed right on the cut of the pizza, as if the pizza was eating the bean."

"Seeing this situation, I thought about developing a game specifically for pizza to eat beans, and that's how Pac-Man came about."

It can be said that Bao Zixuan's explanation is impeccable. The most important thing is that it is very reasonable and makes people unable to find any faults.

Jenny smiled and said: "If I dropped a bean in the pizza gap, I would pick it up and eat it immediately. That's why I can't become an engineer!"

"I heard that many of the ideas for Black Cloud Games come from you. I don't know if this is the case specifically."

Bao Zixuan: "It can only be said that it was in the early days. At that time, the engineering and technical staff and I often discussed the game settings together and put forward some opinions."

"Now there is not much time to pay attention to game matters, and the Heiyun Game R\u0026D team is very mature and ranks first in the world, so I don't need to pay too much attention."

Heiyun Games can be said to be at its peak right after its debut. In the third year since its establishment, it has become the largest game company in the world. It is definitely a giant in the gaming industry now, but it is even more prosperous than Nintendo in its previous life.

With Miyamoto as a leading figure who loves games so much, it will be difficult for other companies to surpass him in a short period of time. Although Bao Zixuan doesn't pay much attention to it now, he still gives some opinions sometimes to ensure that the development direction of the game company will not go wrong.
