VCDs are hotly sold in major shopping malls.

5,000 units were sold in 10 days, and this was just in Hong Kong City. Dilu sent a sales team to start distributing goods across Asia, and at the same time asked factories to speed up work.

It can be said that vcd has definitely become the most eye-catching product this year.

After humans have enough food and clothing, their biggest pursuit is entertainment. VCDs can listen to music, watch movies, and sing karaoke, which can meet the needs of different groups of people. The whole family can have fun together.

Sales are booming as it should be.

The hot sales of VCDs have naturally attracted the attention of other major electrical appliance manufacturers. Sony, Hitachi, Best Buy and other major electrical appliances manufacturers also have video recorder production and sales businesses. Because of the emergence of VCDs, their video recorder business has greatly increased. The magnitude has shrunk.

In the headquarters building of Nippon Group in Japan, in the office of the vice president, a sixty-year-old man was listening to a report from his middle-aged subordinate.

"Vice President, we have found out that the manufacturer of VCD is Lianying Electric Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Lianying Group Company in Hong Kong. Several of the founders of this company are members of the Hong Kong Triads. The current chairman is named Zhang Xiaoshan is a well-known gangster in Hong Kong City."

"Lianying Group is involved in operations in four fields: hotels, entertainment, electrical appliance manufacturing, and security. Its total assets are approximately 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. In addition, Chairman Zhang Xiaoshan also independently owns an investment company with approximately 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets."

"Zhang Xiaoshan went to the United States to participate in a broadcasting exhibition some time ago and purchased this technology. After returning, Lianying Electrical Research Institute developed VCD. Now Lianying Group owns the 'video decompression' technology patent and all VCD patents."

The old man tapped his fingers on the table regularly, "People from Hong Kong City, gang members, own all patents."

"How is the sales situation of VCDs now?" the old man asked.

"Last month, the sales were estimated to be about 40,000 units, and it is estimated that there will be more this month. Their sales methods are very powerful, attracting many young people." said the middle-aged subordinate.

"How do you analyze the prospects of VCD machines?"

"The prospects are very good. It is estimated that Sakura Grasshopper can sell about one million units every year, and about ten million units in Asia. If it enters Europe and the United States, it is estimated that this number can be doubled."

"And it can also drive the optical disc business. Songs, movies, etc. that our company used to have can be re-produced and sold. We estimate that the profit from this item is no less than the profit from VCD machine sales, or even greater."

"If VCD machines and optical discs are all counted, the annual sales market should reach about 1.5 to 2 billion US dollars."

"1.5 to 2 billion, find a way to buy that electrical appliance company." The old man said.

The middle-aged subordinate paused and said, "President, I'm afraid it's difficult. After all, with such a good market prospect, Lianying Group will not sell it easily."

"Then go figure it out!"

...

Such conversations are not limited to this one company. Many large groups are eyeing Lianying Group's VCD business.

In the office of the chairman of Lianying Group, after reading the sales report, Di Lu picked up a cigar and lit it, when the phone rang.

"Di Lu, this is Lao Chen. In the past few days, many large companies have sent people to visit our company. Some of them are here to seek sales cooperation, and some are preparing to invest in or acquire electrical appliance companies under the group."

"Who is buying shares in our company?" Di Lu asked with interest.

"Sakura Grasshopper's Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Beautiful Grasshopper's Best Buy, and two investment companies want to invest in us, Goldman Sachs and SoftBank. We have discussed it before, so I will receive these in advance, but they all want to see you very much. Chat in person.”

"Did they make an offer?"

"No, I just expressed my intention. As for the price, I'm afraid I won't announce it until I meet you."

Whether to sell and how to sell is a big question.

Compared to Dilu, he is prepared to introduce investment. After all, the group's strength is limited. VCD is not only about selling machines, but also involves film and television copyrights and distribution sales. If you want VCD to continue to sell well, you need more Sales channels, purchase more song and film copyrights, and make them into CDs, only in this way can the entire ecological chain be built.

These resources are all in the hands of large companies, and they may be involved all over the world. They are simply not something that a small emerging company in Hong Kong can handle.

"In this case, it is better to follow the countermeasures discussed in advance by the board of directors. You send a notice in the name of the company. We are going to hold a small meeting. Anyone who is interested in purchasing the equity of Lianying Electric Co., Ltd. can come to participate. Of course, you have to choose For now, small companies should stop coming, and only large and powerful groups will be invited."

On the same day, several directors of Dilu Group held another conference call to unify their thoughts and Dilu was fully responsible for the meeting.

Three days later, it was still at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong City, this time in a small conference room on the 10th floor. More than a dozen business representatives came to attend this meeting.

Di Lu attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came out. Although people already knew his situation clearly, they still couldn't believe it when they saw such a young man in person. This young man was a gangster himself. In just a short period of time, a compelling company has grown.

Di Lu sat down, glanced around and said: "Everyone, I think we all have the same purpose here. Now that VCD is developing rapidly, it will definitely replace the original video recorder market, and optical discs will also replace the old video tapes. This market is huge. , market size

It can reach 20 billion US dollars. "

Hearing what Di Lu said, many people frowned, because Di Lu saw it very clearly, so for them, the price would definitely exceed expectations.

"So for the share price of the electrical appliance company, I think $120 million per 5% share is a more reasonable price."

"Oh my god, he's crazy."

"How is this possible? You think your company has a market value of US$2.4 billion. This is a ridiculous price."

"He must be crazy about money."

Everyone yelled and made various taunts, but Di Lu remained unmoved, "Everyone, it's you who want to buy my company's shares. If you didn't see its value, would you come over?"

"We can do a simple calculation. Only in Asia, I estimate that it can reach 10 million units per year. How many units can be sold per year in all countries in the world? 30 million or 50 million units?"

"There is also the optical disc market. Sales are basically the same as those of VCD machines. Moreover, this is a long-term business with a broader market prospect."

"If you calculate it this way, the market will be worth several billion every year, and the profits will be around hundreds of millions. Now, everyone, let's see if my stock price is still high."

Dilu said with a smile.

The representative of Best Buy shook his head and said: "No, the price is definitely not calculated like this. Your data is just an estimate of the future. Who knows what the sales will be in the future. Global sales are 30 million to 50 million every year. You know this is What an unattainable number."

Best Buy is now the largest seller of home appliances and electronics in the United States and will become the largest in the world in a few years. They have a say in this regard.

Sony's representative continued: "You just mentioned the optical disc business. You must know that the song and film and television copyrights are now in the hands of our companies, and your company does not have them."

What he means is self-evident. If we don't sell you the copyright, what you said will be of no use at all.

Dilu's price of 2.5 billion for his company is indeed a lie, but that's how business is done. Who doesn't want to sell at a high price? It is the basic method of all businessmen to pay the high price and pay back the money.

Today is just the first meeting. The two parties first expressed an attitude. Dilu intends to sell, while the other party intends to buy. As for the price, that is a matter later. It may be a long negotiation process.

After the collective meeting, several companies met with Dilu individually. For example, Goldman Sachs wanted to buy 30% of the shares of the electrical appliance company and offered US$120 million. SoftBank also sent people and offered US$170 million to buy 40% of the shares. Sony The highest bidder was US$350 million, and he wanted to acquire the electrical appliance company and all its patents.

Di Lu naturally would not agree to such a bid. He thought the other party's bid was too low. He could make the money in a few years by doing it himself.

Dilu also showed its bottom line to these companies. 51% of the equity of the electrical appliance company must be in the hands of Lianying Group. The price is slowly improving. Anyway, time is on Dilu's side. The output of the Dalu factory It can barely supply the whole of Asia.

The general direction has been determined, and Dilu left the remaining negotiations to General Manager Wang Defa and Brother Chen of the investment company.

Inside the office of a certain Ni Group company.

"Hmph, a small gangster spent 1 million US dollars and was lucky enough to invest in a technology. Now it can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of dollars. It is not satisfied with hundreds of times the income. It is really greedy." The old man said coldly.

"How are the sales of VCDs now?"

A middle-aged subordinate reported: "VCD sales are still very good during this period. According to estimates, monthly sales in Asia can reach 600,000 units. If they expand to the entire world, this number will probably increase five times."

"Due to the hot sales of VCDs, it has greatly affected the sales of our video recorders. We originally sold about 100,000 units per month, but now it has more than doubled."

"Has the technical department cracked the VCD machine? Can we produce it ourselves?" the old man asked.

"Yes, it has been cracked. It is actually not complicated. It is mainly a decoding chip and the others are components on the market. The biggest problem now is the patent. If we produce it, the other party will definitely sue us. We are sure If you lose the lawsuit, you will have to pay a huge amount of compensation."

“Can’t you get around the patent?”

"Technical personnel and patent personnel have analyzed it, but there is no way around it."

"What a bastard\

,"The old man cursed softly, "How can I get his patent over?"

The middle-aged subordinate bent down, lowered his voice a little and said: "I asked the lawyer, the first is to buy the patent, and the second is,"

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then said: "The second is the death of the patent owner. Now the patent holders are in the hands of the five shareholders of Lianying Group, and Zhang Xiaoshan holds 55%."

The old man looked out the window with a cold light in his eyes, "Then let Zhang Xiaoshan die. The remaining shareholders will know how powerful he is."

"But this breaks the rule that each force abides by by default and cannot assassinate important personnel of the other party. Do you really want to do this?" asked the middle-aged man.

The old man stared at the middle-aged man and said slowly: "He is a gangster and not a member of a big company. If you ask local gangsters in Hong Kong City to kill him, no one will hold him accountable."

"Yes, Your Excellency Vice President!"

………

A flower shop opened on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, and many guests gathered around the door with gongs and drums beating.

Dilu, Adi and Little Stutter greeted the people around them

Thank you, use incense to light firecrackers, the sound of the cannons sounded, the lion dance team jumped out, and kept flying and jumping in the field. The whole scene was very lively.

This flower shop is quite large. The proprietresses are Adi and Xiaostutter. None of the four women in Dilu are the kind of people who can live at home leisurely.

Yao Yao and Liang Xiaorou have already left the police force. No matter what kind of relationship Di Lu has with the police force, it is impossible for a woman with a husband from a community background to continue to be a police officer. The two little women are currently studying business administration courses, and they agreed only after Di Lu's persuasion. After all, such a large family business must be guarded by two trusted people.

When it comes to women making money, Di Lu enjoys life and has experienced two worlds. Di Lu is already very experienced in this set of operations.

Adi and Little Stutter were unwilling to listen to Di Lu and continue to go to school. Instead, they wanted to open a flower shop. Di Lu had nothing to do about it. There was no shortage of money anyway, so he could open whatever he wanted.

Although they are seven months pregnant, the two little women are still busy with their big bellies.

After the ribbon-cutting was completed, Di Lu said to the two little women: "You guys go into the store first. There are many people outside, so it won't be good if we bump into each other. Brother Chen and I are waiting for Sister Hua and Shaqiang outside."

Little Stutter and Adi entered the flower shop happily.

Looking at the two pregnant women, Han Chen said with envy: "Di Lu, you are so lucky. Three of the four women have conceived children for you, and your Zhang family has a child."

"Brother Chen, you are not very old. If you find a few women, you can still have children. You can't always think about your sister-in-law. I believe that my sister-in-law is down there and I also hope that Brother Chen can get married and have children again." Di Lu sighed with emotion.

Before Han Chen could answer, Di Lu saw Shaqiang's car coming and was about to go up to greet it.

At this time, a white van suddenly flashed out from behind Shaqiang's car.

The bodyguard captain beside Di Lu stood in front of Di Lu. Before he could shout, two AK rifles stretched out from the white van and fired continuously in Di Lu's direction.

Suddenly, the sound of gunshots pierced the air of the long street, and the street was in chaos, surrounded by pedestrians and guests running and howling.

The bodyguard captain was shot three times, and Di Lu was staggered by the bodyguard captain's body and fell to the ground.

"Protect the boss!" Two bodyguards blocked Di Lu again, and one of them was also shot.

The remaining bodyguards quickly drew their pistols and started firing back at the van.

Boom ~ boom…

Boom ~ boom…

Hundreds of bullets were exchanged between the two sides. The killer in the van saw that the best opportunity had been missed and drove away quickly.

The entire assassination process only lasted about ten seconds.

"Boss, it's okay, the killer has run away." A bodyguard helped Di Lu up.

Di Lu had a sullen face, looking into the dead eyes of the bodyguard captain. The other injured bodyguard was lying on the ground uncertain about his life or death, and the anger in his heart rose.

The bodyguard captain was a bodyguard soldier that Dilu specially applied to the Dongguang government and had protected senior leaders. Dalu saw that Dilu used the domestically scarce foreign exchange to invest more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in one go to allocate Dilu's personal guards.

An hour later, Di Lu’s friends and younger brother-in-law gathered in the conference room of Lianying Group. The door opened. Di Lu walked in with a dark face and said angrily:

"Everyone, the police have taken over the scene, and the vehicle the killer was riding in has been found. From the blood stains on the car, it can be judged that at least one killer was shot, and the killer was assisted. It should be someone on the road who provided help to the killer.

Brother Chen, you have a wide range of connections. Send a message to your colleagues. I will offer a bonus of HK$5 million to anyone who provides information about the killer. Anyone who provides information about the employer behind the killer will receive a bonus of HK$20 million. "

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Han Chen said.

Silly Qiang shouted: "I'm going to call the brothers from the United News Agency to find out who is behind the scenes, and I'll skin him."

Brother Chen looked at Di Lu and asked doubtfully, "Is this related to the VCD patent?"

"Don't think about it, it must be one of those companies." Sister Hua said.

"Okay, I, Di Lu, would like to say thank you to everyone. No matter who it is, I want him to pay with blood!"

As the news of Lian Yingshe's reward spread to various societies in Hong Kong City, the young and Dangerous boys in Hong Kong City were in a sensation. This was a good opportunity to make a fortune. There were people everywhere in Hong Kong City who wanted to get it from waterways, black clinics, etc. Bonus club members.

At night, a man wearing a hat and carrying a satchel walked over. He looked around and no one noticed, and then stepped into a dark alley next to him. Not long after, another man appeared, and the two met in the alley.

"Ah Yun, how's everything going?"

The man patted his bag and said, "Brother Feng, everything is done. We will board the ship at two o'clock in the morning. Brother Kun gave us 200,000 yuan. How is A Cai?"

The man opposite took the bag, opened it for a brief inspection, and quickly zipped it back: "Okay, A Cai is undergoing surgery in the clinic."

After saying that, he put on his bag and waved, and was about to leave, but at this moment something happened, a group of people walked in from both ends of the alley, blocking the two of them in the middle.

The two of them were startled by this change. They knew something was wrong, and their hands were already on the guns at their waists.

The man named Ah Yun pretended to be calm, put on a smile and said, "I'm sorry, brothers, I didn't know you were going to do business here, we'll leave immediately."

As he said that, he walked forward bravely.

"Wow~"

A large piece of white lime was scattered, and the two of them were immediately mesmerized.

return

Before the two men could take out their pistols, another seven or eight crossbow arrows hit their hands and feet.

"Ah~"

The two guys screamed and fell to the ground.

Dongxing smiled, looked at these two guys, and said loudly: "Haha, brothers, the opportunity to make a fortune has come, greet these two friends properly, whether it is five million or twenty million depends on whether they have enough. Hard."

Following the Smiling Tiger's order, the younger brother behind him immediately rushed out, instantly surrounded the two guys, confiscated their pistols, and started punching and kicking them, causing the two guys to scream in agony.

Several boys grabbed the two men's hair and dragged them to the smiling tiger. At this moment, both men's faces were swollen and covered with bruises, and there were blood stains on the corners of their mouths.

"Tell me, who instigated you?" Smiling Tiger asked.

Ah Yun lowered his head and shivered all over. Brother Feng stared coldly at Smiling Tiger and spat at him, "Haha, we brothers are in this business..."

The Smiling Tiger didn't wait for him to finish, and threw the stick directly at his face, saying: "Keep beating until they reveal who is behind it."

The younger brothers on both sides began to torture the two killers again.

"Ah..." The screams echoed in the alley.

The two of them were just killers, not hard-core warriors. They confessed within five minutes. Ah Yun said, "It was Hong Xing Liangkun who ordered us."

"Who else is behind Liangkun?"

"We are just paid to work, how can we be told what is going on behind the scenes?" said another.

The Smiling Tiger smiled coldly and said to the younger brothers: "Give the two Gods of Wealth a good bandage. Don't let anyone die before being sent to the place. By the way, bring the one who was shot in the clinic with you. These are all evidence."

"Brother, the guy inside is undergoing surgery and he probably won't be able to survive," a younger brother said.

"Hehe, it's okay. It doesn't matter if there's a body that was shot. Di Lu can find someone to verify if it's the bodyguard's gun. Let's go!"

…

In the cc bar in Tsim Sha Tsui, Di Lu smoked a cigarette and waited silently for the news.

Bang, the bar door opened, Han Chen walked in and said to Di Lu:

"Di Lu, the killer was caught by Smiling Tiger in a black clinic. One of them died. The bullets in his body were verified by a firearms master. They were shot by your bodyguard."

"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Di Lu's eyes were cold.

Han Chen frowned and said, "It's Liangkun, but there is no news about who is behind Liangkun."

At this time, the door of the bar hall was pushed open again, and Shaqiang walked in with someone.

What surprised Di Lu was that this person turned out to be Liangkun's leader, named Ayi.

A Yi came to Di Lu and said, "Brother Di Lu, I came today because I have some news to sell you."

Di Lu sneered, "Is the news you sold me the news that Liangkun was looking for someone to kill me?"

A Yi shook his head, "I don't plan to hang out in the club anymore. There is no easy end in the underworld. I will prepare to go abroad after I get the bonus. Brother Dilu, I know that you are true to your word and have a good reputation."

Unexpectedly, he still had such a reputation, Di Lu asked: "Then what news are you going to sell me?"

"Brother Dilu, I know that Liangkun wants to kill you, but this matter is not just about Liangkun. There is someone behind him. It was this person who found the mastermind behind Liangkun. Now I want to do a good job and need money. I I don’t want to get 20 million, the bonus of 5 million is enough for me to use for a lifetime.”

"No, we agreed on 20 million, and I will give you a lot of it. Who is it?" Di Lu said coldly.

"It's Yamada Ryosuke of the Sakura Grasshopper Yamaguchi Group. He and Liangkun are good friends. A few days ago, Yamada Ryosuke suddenly found Liangkun and said that Sakura Grasshopper's Sony company wanted Dilu's life. Yamada Ryosuke I gave Liangkun 10 million Hong Kong dollars and asked Liangkun to come forward to find the killer." A Yi said.

Di Lu's eyes became even colder,

Liangkun! ! !
