Video Game Empire

Chapter 24: first time

Hong Kong can be said to be a desert area of ​​high-tech electronic technology, especially the semiconductor industry. The other three of the four Asian tigers have completed the upgrading and transformation of their industrial structures in the wave of computer industrialization in the 1980s.

World-class electronics giants such as LG and Samsung have appeared in South Korea, and computer giants such as Acer and ASUS have emerged in Taiwan-Taiwan. The foundry industry led by TSMC and UMC occupies an important place in the world semiconductor industry. Although Singapore-based Chartered Semiconductor has been losing money for years after entering the 21st century, it has performed well in other high-tech fields such as biopharmaceuticals and genetic engineering.

The transformation of the economic structure and the upgrading of industries require strong guidance and support from the government. The early 1980s was a sensitive time when the Chinese and British governments were wrestling with the future and destiny of Hong Kong. The other three little dragons are struggling to develop, while Hong Kong is windy and turbulent.

After the Hong Kong return issue is settled, the British Hong Kong government has no intention to govern. Anyway, this Oriental Pearl has been determined to be plucked from the crown of the Queen of the British Empire in the near future. What they want to do is to give as much as possible to the Chinese government. Creating trouble.

This is by no means good news for Li Xuan's electronics career, which has not yet started. But since he was reborn in Hong Kong, he had no choice. It's not that he didn't consider the development of the United States in the past. The experience in the United States in his previous life has already made him understand that the so-called American dream of freedom, democracy, and equality is just a wonderful vision in Obama's speech, but the United States will always be a white-dominated world. , as a yellow-skinned Chinese, invisible glass ceilings are everywhere.

In fact, the intelligence of Hong Kong students is no worse than that of students from the other three regions of the Four Asian Tigers. In the 1990s, students from the Department of Electronic Engineering of the City Polytechnic University of Hong Kong designed a new processor based on the company's MC68000 processor during their internship in Motorola Hong Kong. This was later named the Dragon Ball processor by Motorola for its low power consumption and was adopted by the Palm, a popular personal digital product at the time.

It's just that the light industry in Hong Kong, mainly textiles, garments, and toys, did not keep pace with the times in the global new economic wave in the 1980s. Instead, it moved north to the mainland with lower manufacturing costs to grab profits. This brought a good opportunity for industrial upgrading, and also caused the gradual decline of Hong Kong's industry after the hollowing out, the continuous closure of factories, and a large number of workers becoming unemployed.

Afterwards, Hong Kong was forced to undergo a third economic transformation, from an economy dominated by manufacturing exports to an economy dominated by financial services. The income gap between the top elite and the bottom laborers continued to widen, and the gap between the rich and the poor became increasingly wide. , which also led to a series of subsequent problems. It did not provide much soil for the development of high-tech industries at all. After the return of Hong Kong, the SAR government also allocated land near CUHK and established a science park, but it was too late and did not become a big climate.

After coming out of Professor Zhao Weiming's home, Li Xuan thought about many questions along the way. Since he has been reborn as a Hong Konger in this life, when he has the ability in the future, he will contribute to the place where he was born and raised, but now There was nothing he could do.

"Vincent, a girl surnamed Zhong has called you, please reply to her as soon as she tells you to come back!" As soon as Li Xuan returned to the dormitory, Lin Yuhao winked at him, "Tell yourself, is this you? Girlfriend!"

"Of course it's my girlfriend, she's still a pretty girl! Hurry up and find a girl too, using five girls every night will hurt your body!" Li Xuan scolded him with a smile.

"Don't slander me!" Lin Yuhao was somewhat innocent, and was a little furious when Li Xuan teased him. Li Xuan didn't continue to pay attention to him, picked up the phone, pulled the phone line and walked out of the balcony to make a call.

"Honghong, did you miss me!" Li Xuan heard a familiar voice coming from the microphone, and his words couldn't help becoming gentle.

"Axuan, are you free tonight, my old bean and my mother want to invite you to my house for dinner!" Zhong Chuhong changed her past gentleness and said in a very serious tone.

"Hey, is this the rhythm of mother-in-law and son-in-law?" Li Xuan guessed that there must be family members around her, "If you are free, you must be free!"

"Okay, then it's settled! Give me a call before you leave!" Before Li Xuan could continue to tease, Zhong Chuhong hung up the phone impatiently.

Li Xuan was naturally embarrassed to go empty-handed when he came to the door for the first time. When he appeared at the door of Zhong's clothing store, he was carrying three or four gift bags in both hands, including tonic wine for Zhong Chuhong's parents, snacks and toys for her younger siblings.

Zhong Chuhong was already waiting at the door, and when she saw him coming, she finally showed a smile on her slightly nervous face. She took Li Xuan's large and small bags, and although she scolded him for spending money, she was actually as sweet as drinking honey.

"Dad, Mom, this is my friend Li Xuan, you can just call him Xuan Zai!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little funny. With her nervous expression, even an idiot could see that the relationship between the two was not normal. I really don't know how she developed her shadowing skills in later generations.

"Uncle Zhong, Aunt Zhong, how are you!" Li Xuan politely greeted Father Zhong, who was reading the newspaper, and Mother Zhong, who came out of the kitchen after hearing the news.

"Hurry up and sit down, let's have a quick meal, and what else to buy!" Mother Zhong greeted Li Xuan very warmly, and then turned her head and scolded her husband beside him, "You're true, you just watch the day and night. Zhang broke the newspaper! When I saw the guests, I didn't know I would get up and pour a cup of tea!"

Father Zhong has a good temper, so he smiled helplessly at Li Xuan, and was about to get up to pour tea for Li Xuan. Li Xuan hurriedly stood up and said that he would do it by himself. This clock, Chu Hong, had already made him a cup of coffee. .

"You talk to my dad, I'll go to the kitchen to help my mother cook!" Zhong Chuhong couldn't stay in the living room, she said a word, turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Ah Xuan, what kind of work do you do!" Father Zhong said casually.

"I'm still in college, I just got into CUHK this year!" Li Xuan replied.

"It's good to study at university, and it's easy to find a job after graduating from university. The society in Hong Kong attaches great importance to diplomas! My family, Honghong, doesn't like you when studying!" Father Zhong couldn't help but feel a little happy when he heard that he was a college student, and his tone became even more enthusiastic.

The two talked about a lot of things, but they never got to the point. Li Xuan knew that the Zhong family invited him to this meal today to ask about opening a video game hall. Although Zhong Chuhong thought the game hall was complicated, she couldn't resist her desire to change her family's living conditions. After repeatedly calling and confirming with Li Xuan, she finally told her family about it.

Seeing the slightly embarrassed look on Father Zhong's face, Li Xuan also knew that the other party was a little embarrassed. He felt that he was looking for help from his son-in-law who might be the future. He felt that he was a dwarf and lacked confidence.

So Li Xuan took the initiative to talk about his partnership with his eldest brother Li Ke to start a small company to produce video game consoles. Under his intentional guidance, the two chatted more and more warmly. Compared with his daughter Zhong Chuhong, Zhong's father understood the social reality better.

Societies have taken root in the depths of Hong Kong society, not to mention dance halls and nightclubs. Which of the small fruit stalls and fish stalls on the street do not need to pay? Even this small clothing store in Zhong's family is no exception. On fixed days every month, someone will come to collect the number.

It is commonplace to pay for protection at the intersection, so Father Zhong does not reject clubs as much as his daughter does. For him, this is part of the rules of survival in Hong Kong society, and it is not surprising.

Li Xuan also saved a lot of words because of this. He was still very concerned about his woman's affairs. He had already asked his elder brother Li Ke to help him find a few popular alternative addresses suitable for opening a game hall.

These places are all within Heletang's core site. He has already said hello to Brother Qiang. When the time comes, Heletang will be fully responsible for the field inspection. Shao Yongqiang is naturally willing to sell his face. Will say hello to him and other bigwigs in the society.

When this matter was settled, Mother Zhong started to inquire about the situation of Li Xuan's house during the meal~www.wuxiaspot.com~ as if she was looking for her daughter and son-in-law, which made Zhong Chuhong sitting next to Li Xuan feel embarrassed. After eating, he blushed and dared not look up. Li Xuan naturally answered any questions and spoke naturally.

The situation of the Li family was not as good as that of the Zhong family a few months ago. Although the two brothers are now the bosses of their own factories, in the eyes of Zhong's father and Zhong's mother, they are the right match, and their daughter's appearance is not too high. Li Xuan's performance tonight was initially recognized by them.

"Ahong, go and see Axuan!"

Li Xuan was about to leave, but Mother Zhong had a tendency to regard him as a prospective uncle. With a strong smile on her face, she gently pushed her daughter.

"Is my performance qualified tonight?" Li Xuan took Zhong Chuhong's hand and said with a smile. He had already met his parents, so he didn't need to cover up.

"It's alright, barely passing!" After coming out of the house, Zhong Chuhong became that cheerful and generous girl again.

"Why don't you come to my house for a quick meal sometime?" As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Zhong Chuhong glared at him.

"It's been a long night, I don't want to fall asleep, I don't know if I can stay in the boudoir for a night?" Li Xuan hugged Zhong Chuhong in his arms and whispered in her ear.

"Don't be like this, can you give me some time?" Zhong Chuhong couldn't raise her head in shame.

The relationship between the two had reached third base, but they were still one step away from hitting a home run. Zhong Chuhong never let go of the last line of defense.

Li Xuan was not in a hurry, and before opening the car door, he hugged the beauty for a while and kissed deeply before driving away under Zhong Chuhong's affectionate gaze.
