Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

It is the Christmas holiday, but many industries do not have holidays, such as the news and media industry. Although the tape recorder has been invented for many years, now I see that Heiyun Company can actually make the Walkman so exquisite, so convenient, and so creative all at once. The most important thing is that in 8 hours, a total of 400,000 units were sold worldwide. The sales amount is a bit scary. After all, the U.S. dollar is quite strong in this era, and sales have reached HSBC’s profit for most of the year.

The media are all reporting frantically, and the Boston Post can get first-hand information by taking advantage of its home court advantage. A lot of data is reported through them.

The Boston Post's headline is MIT Genius is Creating Brilliance, reporting in detail the entire process from project establishment to production of Black Cloud Walkman. Especially in this regard, Heiyun spent more than 50 million US dollars in research and development funds, entrusting two MIT laboratories to jointly tackle key problems, and this glory was achieved only because of Bao Zixuan's creativity. This is a model of mutually beneficial cooperation between enterprises and universities, and only MIT has such strong scientific research capabilities.

Heiyun made US dollars, and MIT not only made money, but also earned reputation. This month's survey alone shows that the number of students applying or preparing to apply for MIT is the largest, leaving Harvard far behind.

The Wall Street Journal is even more optimistic about the valuation of Heiyun. When the Heiyun software was launched alone, they valued Heiyun at US$200 million. With the completion of the first phase of the Xiangjiang factory, the Walkman has become a great success. Afterwards, Wall Street valued Black Cloud at US$1 billion.

This suddenly pushed Bao Zixuan to the forefront of silence. After all, a company that was founded less than half a year ago has surpassed many companies that have been founded for a century, and Bao Zixuan has become a model and model for entrepreneurship for young people around the world.

In fact, as early as after the launch of Heiyun Software, many venture capital companies had the idea of ​​investing in Heiyun, but they all used the reason that Bao Zixuan had been studying at MIT for the past two years, fearing that the venture capital companies would be robbed of the company's management rights after entering. reason, refused. Everyone can understand, after all, Bao Zixuan is still a big boy, and he is just afraid that others will snatch his big toy.

But this time there are still a lot of popular companies that want to invest in Heiyun Company. Bao Zixuan told the company people this time that when the venture capital people come in the future, they will all be well received. Then, I will not consider investing in venture capital companies within the next two years, but when I fully devote myself to running the company after graduation, I will inspect the popular companies as soon as possible and discuss the company's valuation at the same time. Bao Zixuan can only choose to drag his feet now, otherwise this group of people has too much energy. If they offend everyone, they will not have to do it in the future, and they will be restrained everywhere.

The Los Angeles Daily interviewed John Chambers who was on a business trip in California. After all, Hollywood is in Los Angeles. Moreover, as the all-pervasive media knew early on that Brooke Shields was the first to get the titanium alloy model 002 of the Walkman; they asked: "What was the reason for asking Brooke Shields to endorse it? After all, there are more celebrities in Hollywood than him." Yes!"

In fact, before this, Brooke Shields' manager had already begun to share how to meet by chance on the plane, how to be optimistic about Brooke, and in short, she had hyped up her artists. The actor still needs to increase attention and exposure. But this is a pain for Bao Zixuan. When he flies in the future, the ground staff will reveal his seat number and sell it for money.

It was nothing at first, and the two of them just met once on the plane, and never saw each other again after that. But when the reporter asked this question, John Chambers could only answer truthfully. After all, it was not a secret.

"It was indeed Ms. Brooke Shields who was recommended by the boss, and they did meet and get to know each other by chance on the plane from Boston to Los Angeles. It was I who suggested to the company to find young and beautiful girls to shoot advertisements. The boss only knows such a star in the United States. This It’s also a kind of fate! And the requirements are indeed suitable in all aspects. As for the relationship you mentioned, I’m not sure about the relationship, but we haven’t seen each other since we separated from the airport that time.”

Reporter: "Then why do you give Brooke Shields such a high advertising fee? Is Boss Bao showing his love to Brooke Shields?"

Chambers: "This has nothing to do with showing love, it's just a simple advertising endorsement. And compared to the little money given to Miss Xiaosi, the company made more money. Miss Xiaosi completed the job very well. This is He deserves it!"

"Okay, stop gossiping about the boss, otherwise I won't have anything to eat when I return to the company."

John Chambers's words were misinterpreted by many Hollywood tabloids, telling stories about technology giants and beautiful Hollywood stars; about genius boys dating teenage stars, etc. After all, they also rely on these to make a living.

RB media generally believes that Heiyun's launch of the Walkman is worthy of reflection by RB companies. The rise of Heiyun in the field of small electronics will cause the sales of RB brands such as Sony and Panasonic to decline. This is something RB companies must reflect on. At the same time, scientific research funding must be increased, and companies should cooperate more with universities to achieve a win-win situation. Seeing this, Bao Zixuan couldn't help but sigh. There is a long way to go. He just launched a product, and RB media felt a sense of crisis and reminded the company to pay attention. It seems that RB company is indeed difficult to deal with!

The focus of the British Times report is that after a Xiangjiang boy laid a solid foundation in Oxford, he is now taking off and has established his own factory in Xiangjiang. How much profit he can create every day and how happy the lives of the people in Xiangjiang are.

But the Hong Kong media was the most excited this time. After all, the success of Heiyun Software last time was far away from them. Few people in Xiangjiang Company used computers, but this time the Walkman has personally experienced its convenience and sense of technology. This thing is produced in Xiangjiang. When did we in Xiangjiang have this ability? We see trucks delivering products to the airport and terminals every day. Many media also visited Heiyun Company. Although they did not enter the core workshop, they saw the working environment and accommodation conditions of Heiyun Factory, asked about the wages of workers, and most importantly, saw the food in Heiyun Company canteen. Comparative Next, all I eat every day is pig food.

Especially when the interviewing workers learned that Heiyun’s daily meals were similar to these, everyone began to feel that working in Heiyun was really a blessing.

Ming Pao used the title as the most conscientious company in Hong Kong. Not only introduced Heiyun’s high salary and high benefits. He also introduced in detail that the food and accommodation conditions of Heiyun Company are the best in Xiangjiang, and are several blocks away from the second best.

The consequences of this kind of reporting directly caused the slightly larger factories in Xiangjiang to increase their accommodation standards and food expenses. Enterprise costs seem to have increased, but labor efficiency has improved a lot, which has led to more and more imitators. In the days to come, the entire Xiangjiang factory food will be ranked among the best in the world.

Oriental Daily reported that according to this development rate, the richest man in Xiangjiang should be replaced next year, but it doesn't matter, both of them are named Bao.

Heiyun Company’s terrifying ability to attract money was introduced in detail; Heiyun Company now produces about 20,000 Walkmans and 2,000 game consoles every day. We don’t know the profit of the Walkman, but we can see from the raw materials that the profit of each Walkman should be around US$50, which is about US$1 million. The profit of each game console is about US$1,000, and the profit of this piece is about US$2 million. Now that the factory is completely owned by itself, the daily expenditure on workers’ wages and other expenses should be around US$800,000 to US$1 million, and Heiyun’s daily income is around US$2 million. Bao Zixuan’s monthly revenue was US$700 million in 2018. This is such terrifying data. He should be able to become the richest man in Hong Kong by the middle of next year.
