Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In early May, Hong Kong also entered the rainy season.  A Boeing 737 passenger plane with a blue Pan Am logo painted on the tail and a huge blue word "Pana" sprayed on the fuselage made a rapid dive in the pouring rain, landed on the runway of Kai Tak International Airport, and taxied.  The tires splashed with water, slowly slowed down, and stopped the huge fuselage.  A boarding car rushed quickly in the rain, chasing the passenger plane and approaching it.  In the flight attendant lounge, a blond flight attendant loosened her seat belt, quickly tidied up her appearance with her makeup box, entered the business class with a soft smile, and reminded the passengers in the cabin that the plane had arrived at its destination and was waiting for the cabin door to open.  , everyone can get off the plane.  At the end of the business class is the first class cabin of the passenger plane.  Every stewardess who frequently flies international routes knows very well that even though the price of a first-class ticket is only 1.5 times higher than that of economy class, in order to increase the passenger load factor, airlines will enjoy discounts on economy class tickets that are booked in advance.  , the highest discount rate for this route even reaches 40% off.  But first-class tickets are never discounted. As time goes by, the price difference between first-class and economy-class tickets is up to six times. And first-class seats are limited. Passengers who can buy first-class tickets are all rich or expensive.  The person with a slightly inferior status is at least the boss of a certain company, or an executive of a well-known enterprise, and cannot afford to offend easily. What's more, there is a distinguished guest on this flight, whose status is even more special.  The blonde stewardess adjusted her breathing, knocked on the door, and opened it.  Compared with the cramped economy class, first class is much more spacious, with only eight seats in the front and rear rows.  But it¡¯s not necessarily how luxurious it is. It¡¯s just that the seats are wider: each row of economy class can accommodate six passengers, while first class only has four people. The card-box-style leather seats have a certain amount of privacy.  The spacing between each row is also larger. After extending the bracket, passengers can lie down and sleep comfortably.  Each passenger has a separate large-screen color TV to relieve the loneliness of the journey.  The blond stewardess opened the cabin door and found that the passengers in the cabin had packed their belongings and were looking out the window quietly, with a trace of scrutiny and curiosity in their eyes.  Seeing the stewardess coming in, several passengers nodded politely to her, then turned to look at the front row.  The stewardess walked quickly and crossed the back row.  Of the four seats in the front row, only the two on the right were occupied, and the two seats on the left were reserved for the same young East Asian passenger with a Chinese character.  He was wearing a snow-white shirt and a blue striped tie. He had a short haircut and a clean shaven beard. Even in the soft leather seat, his back was straight and his expression was serious.  The passenger didn't seem to realize that the plane had landed. He was still flipping through a stack of documents intently, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking deeply.  The stewardess stared at him for a second or two, then leaned down, leaned against his ear, and whispered: "Mr. Guan, the plane has arrived at Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport." "Really? Thank you." Guan Fei is just right.  After reading a document, he suddenly looked out the window and saw that the plane had arrived at the parking lot. In the blurry rain and fog, a blue ramp car approached the side of the plane and was docking.  He quickly gathered the scattered documents and put them into his briefcase. He tilted his head slightly and thanked the stewardess.  "Thank you for flying with Pan Am Airways. I hope you enjoy your trip. If you take this flight again in the future, we may meet again. This is my business card with my phone number on it." The blonde.  With a sweet smile, the stewardess boldly took out a business card from her chest to see if no one was paying attention, and handed it to Guan Fei's hand with a strong scent of perfume and warm body temperature.  "Mr. Guan, you can get off the plane." Two men with dark faces and black suits entered from the rear cabin and came to the side. They carefully observed the stewardess who was too close and said to Guan Fei respectfully.  .  Guan Fei handed the briefcase to one of them, stood up, smiled and nodded to the stewardess, looked around at the other Western-faced passengers in the first class cabin, and said with a hearty smile: "Welcome to Hong Kong, everyone.  We have booked a hotel for you in Victoria Harbor. You can go and wash up and have a rest. I will go back to the company to make arrangements and then pick you up in the evening. " "Very good. I have been on the plane for more than ten hours.  It¡¯s really uncomfortable. The food on the plane is also terrible. I¡¯m planning to find a hotel to take a shower.¡± Several potbellied passengers in the first class responded with a smile and politely waited for him to go ahead.  Following the bodyguards, Guan Fei walked through the business class cabin and smiled and nodded to the dozens of passengers in the cabin.  When he walked out of the business class, a group of bodyguards and attach¨¦s gathered around him.  In the economy class, more people gathered around and greeted him enthusiastically.??.  The captain opened the cabin door with his own hands, stood aside, waited patiently for the farewell, and then walked down the gangway under the protection of his bodyguards.  After that, there were the first-class and business-class passengers. After they had finished disembarking, the economy-class passengers swarmed through the door to get off the plane.  After everyone left, the stewardesses who had been waiting respectfully relaxed and packed their luggage lively, laughing and chatting.  "Elena, I saw it. Did you just give that young gentleman your business card?" "Yes, but it was of no use. I threw a few winks at him, but he didn't even see it." The blonde beauty  He sighed, feeling out of breath.  "Looking at how young he is and how hard he has been working all the way, he is probably the heir to a large financial group in Hong Kong, working hard to take over from his father. For them, career is the most important, and women are just casual  Just for fun. Even if I get you, I'll probably have a one-night stand with you and forget about it." Another beautiful flight attendant curled her lips and said with a sour taste.  "For a rich man who can easily afford a special plane to receive clients, I am willing to even have a one-night stand." The blonde snorted from her nostrils, dragged her trolley suitcase, and left in high heels.  ¡°Bitch,¡± the stewardess who just made a sarcastic comment cursed in a low voice.  Outside the airport, a large number of luxury cars were already waiting. Umbrellas were spread out like blooming flowers. When they saw Guan Fei and his party coming out surrounded by crowds, they immediately greeted them.  "Guan, you are quite powerful in Hong Kong," Lancelot, general manager of lhk, whispered to Kony, the product development manager beside him.  Other manufacturer representatives who came to inspect were astonished by such a huge pick-up team.  The road outside Kai Tak Airport was very narrow and it was raining. It was not convenient for everyone to exchange too many greetings. Guan Fei and his American partners who were on the same plane politely greeted them one by one, sent them to the car, and got into a Mercedes-Benz himself.  , escorted by two black commercial vehicles at the front and rear, quickly left the airport.  As soon as he got in the car, he took off his coat, pulled off his tie and threw it aside.  "Commander, this trip to promote our portable recorders and electronic components cost no less than two million U.S. dollars. You also chartered a special plane to pick up those manufacturers for inspection, and booked rooms for them in luxury hotels. Finally  An expensive business suite costs more than 6,000 Hong Kong dollars a night, so the expense is really too high," Zhou Xiaoshan said with a frown.  People who are used to hard times like to see money flowing into their pockets most, and hate seeing money flying out.  Speaking of which, Zhou Xiaoshan presided over Taiyu Technology and had hundreds of millions of dollars in hand, but the speed at which Guan Fei spread out two million US dollars in just one month still made him feel heartbroken.  In this era, not to mention in China, but also in the world, one million is still an extremely huge number, and becoming a millionaire is still the highest pursuit of countless people.  The vast majority of people in the world never dare to hope that they can achieve this wish.  Even Zhou Xiaoshan himself, although he holds a high position and has hundreds of millions in money, cannot guarantee whether he will earn this amount of wealth by the time he dies.  He found it difficult to accept that millions of dollars had been spent in vain without any substantial results.  "What did Meifeng say?" Guan Fei unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and asked sideways.  Pan Meifeng is now the general manager of Hasbro, and has also become a high-level management cadre of Guanfei Group. In her past charm, she has a bit of the ability of a shopping mall elite. She turned sideways and affirmed: "The commander's approach is very good."  Correct. Both Hasbro and New Era are new companies. Even Taiyu Technology is a new company that has only emerged in the past year or so. It is even less famous in the United States for chartering flights and inviting customers to stay in high-end business hotels.  It seems that spending more money can leave the other party with the impression that we are wealthy and powerful. When the time comes, we can show off our technical strength, and it will be much easier to discuss cooperation in the future. " " But this is too much.  What to do if cooperation cannot be negotiated?" Zhou Xiaoshan still felt a little uneasy.  Although he has been in charge of Taiyu Technology in Hong Kong for a year and a half, and took time to study business courses, he is no longer unfamiliar with the operating model of the commercial society, but Taiyu Technology is basically an exclusive business.  Although there are currently some counterfeit manufacturers in Japan, Europe and the United States, they still rely on a marketing model of waiting for customers to come to their door. They are not quite comfortable with spending huge sums of money to proactively find partners for cooperation.  "This is the case in shopping malls. Input and output are always not proportional. Maybe you spend a lot of money, but you still can't achieve the goal. But if you are reluctant to spend money, the possibility of achieving the goal is even lower. To say whether it is cost-effective, it depends on  How big is our goal?" Pan Meifeng looked at Guan Fei with beautiful eyes.  Guan Fei Xiaoxiao, leaned back on the back seat, tapped his fingers on the leather seat, and said calmly: "The reason why I lobbied for the formation of this huge inspection team is to try to see if I can turn Hong Kong into the Silicon Valley of the East." His voice  It was very light and had no ups and downs, just like a normal chat, but Pan Meifeng and Zhou Xiaoshan who heard it suddenly opened their mouths wide and stared at him unable to say a word.  They know that Guan Fei has always had lofty goals, but this goal is also too big, almost as big as a fantasy. Zhou Xiaoshan, who has been in the electronic technology industry for a year and a half, is already famous for what Silicon Valley is. It is impossible not to know.  Geographically speaking, Silicon Valley is located in northern California, starting from the southern part of San Francisco Bay, along Highway 101, including Menlo Park, Palatoquin Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Campbell, San Jose, and more.  A valley twenty-five miles long.  Literally speaking, the factories in this 25-mile valley are mainly engaged in silicon wafer preparation, semiconductor and computer design and production, and even high-density areas of the electronics industry in related industrial chains.  "However, it was in this narrow zone that William Shockley, the inventor of the transistor, founded Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, thus kicking off the development of modern semiconductor technology.  After Xiao Keli stopped developing silicon transistors, eight engineers who left in anger raised funds to establish Fairchild Semiconductor Company.  After the disintegration of Fairchild, Intel, which is now more famous and will be more brilliant in the future, was born, bringing the development of semiconductors to the fast lane of rapid development.  With the support of software and hardware from Intel, A, venture capital companies and other companies, countless scientists, engineers, scholars, and college students interested in the semiconductor industry have started their businesses here.  Many of them started from scratch. After achieving early success, they immediately received funding from venture capital companies and then developed and expanded in a short period of time.  Over the past few decades, successful people have been born one after another in this narrow valley, creating a real-life miracle of getting rich overnight.  Among these successful people, not only are the old strong ones such as Fairchild, Intel, Intel, A, and HP still standing, but there are also countless new companies being established every day.  Just the year before last, two young men, aged only 21 and 26, established a company called Apple Computer.  Using common electronic components bought from the market, they assembled their own cheap version of the computer and successfully sold fifty units.  Last year, a new generation of more mature Apple II was launched and became the first personal computer in history, causing a sensation. It made $300 million in one year and became the leader of the new generation of Silicon Valley companies with a bright future.  The demonstration effect has allowed Silicon Valley to gather more and more technological talents and entrepreneurs, and countless people regard this place as their first start-up.  A large number of venture capital firms have also been attracted by the possibility of obtaining huge returns, and the influx of sufficient funds has made Silicon Valley more attractive.  Today, Silicon Valley is no longer just a desert valley densely populated with semiconductor production factories, but the origin of dreams and the heart of the development of American semiconductor technology. Even further, it is the spokesperson for the strong scientific and technological image of the United States. With the British  In terms of scientific and technological strength, it is willing to be at a disadvantage in front of Silicon Valley. Hong Kong, a port city with a lack of scientific and technological level, can only look up to it but cannot compare with it.  Guan Fei actually boasted that he planned to try to develop Hong Kong into the Silicon Valley of the East. Zhou Xiaoshan and Pan Meifeng were speechless except that they suspected that they were hearing hallucinations.  No matter how confident they are in Guan Fei, they cannot think that this idea has any possibility of being realized.
