Chapter 1319

Simon had planned to fly to South Korea on the afternoon of February 2 and stay in Seoul for a day. The main purpose was to have a secret meeting with South Korean President Kim Dae Jung, who will take office on February 25. Because of the sudden sandstorm in Beijing, his trip was temporarily cancelled.

It was not until the morning of February 4, when the sandstorm stopped, that Simon finally set out to return to North America.

In addition to Simon and his former entourage, Chen Qing also went back with Simon this time, as well as some girls from Guofeng art group.

After the performance of the Spring Festival Gala, Guofeng Art Troupe became famous in China. Before that, it received a lot of performance invitation, which was directly rejected by Chen Qing. The girls themselves didn't mean to accept the invitation, because many of the invitation were really ill intentioned.

These goblins are really eye-catching.

In the cabin of the Boeing 767.

After the plane is stable, Simon and Chen Qing sit together in the front cabin office to summarize the gains and losses of the trip and plan the next work.

Turning over a piece of information about igrit China, Chen Qing asked: "boss, it is expected that China's Internet firewall will start in the middle of this month. Our localization strategy for China's Internet industry should be increased next, right?"

Chen Qing said that the Internet firewall was a "wall" later.

There was already a rumor about this issue last year, and there was a reason why we chose to open it in February, because March is a very important meeting of the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Another is the localization strategy of China's Internet investment.

In recent years, the Internet industry has been booming in the West. With Simon's forward-looking vision, he is somewhat careless about the layout of China. This has long aroused Chen Qing's doubts, and Simon has not hidden it. From the beginning, he did not intend to let igritte and others directly expand in China, but to support local giants as much as possible as he later did.

In addition to China's Internet environment, after several years of development, the number of Internet users in China finally increased to 10.78 million last year, covering about 30 million Internet users, which is equivalent to the population of many small countries. In addition, this year, the Chinese government is going to make a further large-scale layout in the Internet industry, and the number of Internet access users in 1998 will lead to an outbreak.

Therefore, it is indeed the time to increase the layout.

Simon thought about it, nodded and said to Chen Qing, "OK. In addition, do you know the most important thing about investing in China's Internet industry?"

"Strive for users," Chen Qing went to Simon this time to solve the mystery. She also has a deep research on the Internet industry in the United States: "boss, igritte's main means of gathering users is igritte browser. It seems that we don't have an advantage here?"

"Right or wrong," Simon said. "It's right to fight for users, but if you say that igrit's users are from browsers, it's not all right. Igrit's control of Internet traffic mainly depends on services. If there is only a browser, users will surely be taken away by other enterprises. "

"I understand that in fact, what I'm considering is that China can only rely on services such as e-mail, portal websites, instant messaging, etc. By the way, and our e-Pay, boss, if e-commerce becomes more and more popular, I find that e-Pay will also become a sharp tool to gather users, just like many people need bank accounts in reality. "

"Oh, since you think of it, I can't say much. The business model of the Internet has been developed in the United States, and can be copied in China. Therefore, the problem is very simple. The key lies in the people, and the team. This requires spreading the net widely, investing in ten or twenty projects, and it is enough to succeed in one or two. If one or two super giants can be cultivated in all projects, our layout will not be in vain. The other is to spend money. For investment projects in China, we should not consider the return within five to ten years. "

"I think we can think about it, boss, IPO and cash out?"

"Well, that's right," Simon said, without refuting: "I think there will be two to three years of Internet cold spell last year. But from the current trend, because of last year's Asian financial turmoil and the Fed's interest rate hike, there will be an economic deterioration in Asia and even Eastern Europe. This year, there will be a large number of US dollars returning to North America. There are not many fields that these funds can invest in. The new technology industry with the Internet as the core is an inevitable direction. Therefore, the recovery of the Internet industry will be faster than many people think. "

"Isn't that good for us?"

"The cold winter is more suitable for giants like us to conquer cities. Once they recover, everyone will rush to fight for benefits again, and the price will be very high. Even, in order to gain more room for maneuver, other capitals will launch attacks on our giants such as igritte. After all, igritte's monopoly tendency is too obvious. "

Chen Qing thought about it, too, and said with a smile, "then I need to speed up the layout in China."

"There's no limit to the amount of money, just invest it."

"Well," Chen Qing nodded, turning to another thing: "in Korea, boss, it's a pity that you didn't get there this time."

"There's nothing to be regretted about. In fact, I'll come back to Asia when the peach blossom blooms in April, and it would be better to meet Kim Dae Jung at that time, because at that time, the president of South Korea should be very worried and in urgent need of our help."

The Asian financial crisis is definitely not over.

Just recently, international hot money has begun to stir up interest in some Asian countries.

What's more important is the follow-up impact of last year's financial turmoil.

For example, in South Korea, where Simon is closely watching, even if the won tends to be stable, the impact of the financial turmoil on the real economy of South Korea will not begin to appear until this year or next, which is basically a scene of Wanye's depression.

Chen Qing listen to Simon say so, bright eyes with evil little flame: "boss, are you going to provide help to South Korea?"

"Of course, I'm so willing to help people," Simon said with a smile. He resumed his seriousness: "we have won the core electronics industry in South Korea. In fact, we have completed a very important step. It doesn't matter whether we succeed or fail in other operations."

"Boss, do I think the electronic industry really has such a big weight?"

"How to say that," Simon thought a little, and said, "South Korea is actually very small, there is no doubt about that."

"Well?"

"Since it's a small country, it's doomed that the industrial structure of this country can't be too diversified. I mean, it can play an important role as a pillar industry for the economy. At this point, there are only two core items in South Korea: Automobile and electronics. I don't want to say more about the former. For electronics, the rapid development of the Internet industry and the continuous promotion of Moore's law of semiconductors will eventually bring mankind into an era of interconnection of all things. The Internet is the foundation, and the electronic industry will rely on the Internet as the basic platform to achieve an outbreak of at least 20 years. Therefore, in the next 20 years, In my opinion, it is the world of information and electronic industries. "

"I understand, but boss, the question is, if we control the electronics industry in South Korea, can we control South Korea?"

"Do you know a very important reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union?"

"Which one?"

"In 1986, the international crude oil price plummeted to US $10 a barrel, down 75% from the highest of US $39 a barrel in 1981. Then the Soviet economy deteriorated sharply, which led to the collapse of the old empire to a large extent. Because the former Soviet economic structure was also very thin, the foreign exchange brought by energy exports was very important to make up for the financial loopholes of the old empire, ”Simon said that without waiting for Chen Qing's response, he went on: "similarly, when the electronics industry completely surpasses the automobile industry and becomes the only economic lifeline of South Korea, and this lifeline is controlled by us, it means that we control all aspects of South Korea's economy."

Why was Samsung so powerful in the past? The whole SamSung group accounts for 20% of South Korea's GDP, and even South Korea is called the Republic of Samsung?

The key is not the whole SamSung group, but Samsung Electronics.

Because of the right direction of the industry, Samsung's Li family made a lot of profits through Samsung Electronics, and supported Samsung Group's investment in insurance, hotel, construction, machinery, shipbuilding and other aspects in a way similar to transfer payment, eventually supporting the whole Samsung Republic.

In contrast, because the auto industry is going downhill, even if the annexation of Kia after the financial crisis in 1997 made Hyundai occupy 70% of the Korean auto industry share, and continued to expand outward, it was finally thrown away by Samsung.

It's still important to choose the right direction.

Unlike in the past, the western capital, which actually controls Samsung Group absolutely, let the Li family of Samsung be the manager of Samsung Electronics, and even realized the transfer payment to support the whole Samsung Republic.

This time, vestro system directly controlled Samsung Electronics. Not only that, it also won the entire Electronics Department of Hyundai Group, including semiconductor business. In addition, SK, as well as the semiconductor business of Daewoo chaebol, which is currently the second largest in South Korea, and LG Group, which has not yet been subordinated, will not let go of Simon.

After the gradual realization of absolute control, Simon will not allow South Korean chaebols to transfer payments for their own interests.

Of course, in order to control South Korea, transfer payment is inevitable, but it must be under the control of westero system. Simon wants to let which enterprise rise, which enterprise can get the capital to develop, on the contrary, lack of funds, even face pressure, the outcome can be imagined.

The final result is very simple. Shunchang is in danger.

Simon and Chen Qing are talking about all kinds of things. A few hours later, when it's dinner time, they come to the biggest restaurant in the cabin.

This side is already full of warblers.

After greeting the goblins, Simon sat down at the spacious dining table and remembered one thing. He called Chen Xingwei, who had participated in the Spring Festival Gala, to sit down beside him. After waiting for the waitress to serve lunch and pick up the tableware, he said to her, "there is a role in a recent project. Do you want to try it?"

Other goblins were listening to what Simon wanted to say to Chen Xingwei. Seeing his boss saying so, Ouyang Shuli, who was close to Simon, immediately said, "boss, I think, I think."

The girls all laughed.

Ouyang millet from the side of Su Fengnian also stretched out his hand in her body to grab a: "so hungry, quickly drink hydrolysis."

So the two girls started fighting.

Chen Xingwei and Li Youhu were once a couple, but they were also from the Oriental Song and dance troupe. As a result, Li Youhu became an international actress, playing in crouching tiger, hidden dragon and hero, but he stayed in Guofeng Art Troupe all the time. Chen Xingwei was quite disappointed and had the idea of catching up.

At this time, listening to his boss suddenly say, Chen Xingwei ignored the two girls frolicking opposite, covered up the heart of the palpitation, looked at Simon: "boss, what role?"

"A zombie movie, you play a Chinese American female agent, very powerful kind."

Simon said, of course, that it was Zach Schneider who was going to prepare the biochemical crisis.

After several times of consideration, Simon finally decided to roughly adopt the big movie mode of Mira Jovovich's version of biochemical crisis, so as to separate it from the plot of the game version. Of course, this time will not be a complete magic change, but is equivalent to opening up another story line under the same background, and there will be corresponding intersection with the game version.

The experience of his previous life made Simon understand that it's hard to succeed if he adapts completely according to the plot of the game. On the contrary, the magic series such as biochemical crisis unexpectedly went out of a strong long line.

In this case, of course, we can not repeat the same mistakes.

At the same time, Simon does not intend to completely magic change, or to have something to do with the background of the game.

All in all, the core of this film version is still Alice.

Because Simon really likes that line: my name is Alice!.

On the other hand, for the biochemical crisis series, Simon's most impressive and favorite character is undoubtedly IDA Wang.

Before he came to China, Simon was thinking about the ownership of this role, and he listed many alternatives.

For example, big Bing, who once played this role in the movie version.

It's a pity Simon doesn't like it.

The face is similar, but the image is not very good, the neck is too short, and some hunchback.

Then I thought of Li Damei, who once played golf together in the Mexican manor, but she was still eliminated.

The problem is that if Simon wants to continue the whole series, Li Damei, who is already well-known in Hong Kong, is not likely to follow up. After all, this series will last at least 10 years, and age is also a problem.

And Simon needs a real female star.

It's not so easy to find a star, but the dancing goblins around you are a group after group. With a little physical training, you can be a star.

And then we start selecting people.

Li Youhu, who has become famous, has been eliminated, mainly because his image and temperament are not in line with the requirements.

Aida Wang is a goddess level higher than Yu Jie, and his temperament should be very strong. Li Youhu's personality is tough enough, and it's hard to say the screen image.

Then there is Jiang Anqi, who has studied Tsing Yi and practiced Dao Ma Dan. She has a perfect figure. Unfortunately, her appearance and temperament are completely defeated.

In the end, it fell to Chen Xingwei.
