However, after the press conference to announce the acquisition of Sogo Department Store's Hong Kong branch and Sogo brand, many sharp-eyed reporters noticed that Zhongxing International President Yang Xing and two bigwigs who are responsible for the renovation of Kwun Tong in Hong Kong, Singapore Investment Bureau Chairman Lee Hsien Yang and Yingke Group Chairman Lee Zekai, three business upstarts who are now known as the "big three" in Hong Kong, took the stage at the same time. The sensitivity of their profession made them realize that in addition to the big news that Sogo Department Store was acquired, there must be shocking news at today's press conference!

The clock was called back two days after Yang Xing and Bill Gates' call ended. Lee Hsien-yang and Lee Zekai, who were sweating profusely in Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, were also invited by Yang Xing to go to the former site of Kai Tak Airport, and now they have something to discuss in the Sky Star City, the location of Zhongxing International's headquarters.

Thanks to the abundant funds brought by the Er Lee Hsing family and the support of the Hong Kong government's policy, the renovation progress of Kwun Tong District has exceeded expectations. As the core of the industrial zone, Sky Star City even spent money everywhere in Yang Xing, and he invited the world's top planning, design and construction teams to help the world's top planning, design and construction teams to make rapid progress.

When the China Star International World Conference was held last year, Er Li attended as a guest. The only thing that appeared in front of him was a large area of ​​roaring machines and various flat-based construction land. Just after half a year, they came again and saw that the skyscrapers where the twelve major groups that were secretly in line with the number of heavenly stems of Zhong Star International rose up and took shape. The most eye-catching of the people was undoubtedly the fastest progress, just like a Chinese-style long sword piercing the sky.

The core plan of Sky Star City is as high as 999 meters. After completion, it will become the overlord of the world's tallest building for a long time. The main builder was jointly contracted by the Overseas Company of Huaxia Construction Group and Xingyuan Construction, a subsidiary of Xinghua Real Estate. The project has also been joined by the best construction companies from the United States, South Korea, Japan, France and other countries in order to create a classic architectural work.

The Zhaixing Tower started to build the above-ground part from the foundation, and the progress was soaring. It set a world record for the construction of super-high skyscrapers that had been one floor every three days. The construction progress of the building was astonishing, but the quality requirements were not reduced. The monitoring team composed of experts from many countries kept summing up the building data in a supercomputer every day to analyze and judge to prevent hidden dangers. Many parts of the building also adopted the most advanced construction technology, which not only required energy conservation and environmental protection, but also laid the foundation for the informatization and intelligence of the entire building after completion.

After Yang Xing obtained the 10 billion US dollars fund management rights provided by the Hong Kong government's three major sovereign funds for high-tech research and development in Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, he joined forces with several telecommunications companies in Hong Kong and the Mainland in the name of Hong Kong Telecom, which he acquired, to build a new submarine optical cable between China and the United States, and the landing point in China was chosen near Zhaixing Tower.

If this submarine optical cable is successfully laid, it will mark a breaking the traditional pattern of China-US submarine optical cable only passing through the north, from South Korea, Japan and other countries to the mainland. This new southern optical cable not only reduces the fact that the northern line of China-US submarine optical cable is often cut off for various reasons, resulting in the domestic and foreign servers that must be detoured and destined to be greatly delayed. It can also allow China Star International to directly obtain a stable and safe high-speed broadband with the United States, laying the foundation for smooth contact with the United States in the future.

Lee Hsien Yang and Lee Zekai were invited by Yang Xing in the name of the opening ceremony of the undersea optical cable, but they did not believe that this would be Yang Xing's purpose. Although Lee Zekai's feat of acquiring Hong Kong Telecom in his previous life was intercepted by Yang Xing, it did not mean that he had lost his hobby of cutting-edge information technology. Last year, Zhongxing International demonstrated a solution to establishing smart homes using wireless Internet technology at the World Congress, which was very exciting. He felt that it coincided with his digital dream. He also discussed with Yang Xing which is better, which is better, Nebula Electronics' solution. He boldly suggested that the communication network, television network and Internet integration plan should be promoted first in Hong Kong. But he keenly smelled the subtext in Yang Xing's invitation and couldn't help but be full of expectations.

Lee Hsien Yang's mentality is a bit more complicated. As a member of the Lee family in Singapore, any business considerations must be considered at the family and national level. When Yang Xing went to Singapore to lobby the Southeast Asian Chinese business groups to work together to rescue their Indonesian compatriots, he realized the benefits and agreed without hesitation. But as a result, they made a lot of efforts, but they all made wedding dresses for Yang Xing and China. Yang Xing gained control of the funds for the Chinese fleeing in Indonesia, and also greatly increased the favorability of Southeast Asian Chinese towards China behind Yang Xing. Whenever he thought of this, he felt that he had wanted to use financial means to control Zhongxing Group. Now he felt so naive when he thought about it.

It is not too late to make up for the loss. Since Yang Xing cannot conquer the hidden dragon, he will take the initiative to make friends with him. So he took the initiative to propose a plan to allow Singaporean companies to participate in the transformation of Hong Kong Kwun Tong Industrial Zone. Because he has a strong feeling that under Yang Xing's leadership, this industrial zone is likely to become the next Silicon Valley. With Yang Xing's accurate prediction of the digital information industry and his ability to quickly industrialize various ideas, Li Xianyang obviously feels that the risks and opportunities of betting on this young man who is less than 30 are coexisting.

Only one thing can prove his judgment. Singapore has been trying to build the most advanced information industry center in Southeast Asia for many years. Singapore's Franchise Electronics has the world's most advanced wafer production line. It boasts that it is only half a year behind the industry leader Intel. However, the advanced technology represents a lot of profits. Franchise Electronics has suffered losses every year, and it is entirely up to government subsidies to survive.

In contrast, after Yang Xing obtained the eliminated wafer production line from Chartered Electronics, he reassembled it in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and other places. With the help of the huge orders of Zhongxing Digital products, and the opportunity to reshuffle the international electronic component market when the earthquake in Taiwan caused the Taiwan reshuffle, those wafer production lines that seemed outdated were working hard to start construction, making a big profit.

In addition, Yang Xing boldly introduced the practice of using free release of some patent rights, attracting enterprises in the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain in several major industrial parks under his jurisdiction, adopting Zhongxing's technical standards, gathering into a huge industrial cluster, and rapidly developing low-cost and efficient I-manufacturing units. Now Nebula Electronics' position in the Asian consumer electronics market is almost comparable to traditional manufacturers Samsung and Sony.

So they were all interested in Yang Xing's intention to find them in the name of opening the China-US submarine cable. Yang Xing did not disappoint his hope and took them into a temporary research room built by Xingdou Research Institute, showing them a laptop with a novel appearance to them who couldn't wait.

Er Li looked at the appearance of the toy-like laptop in front of him. His first feeling was that it was petite and thin. They often deal with the digital IT industry now and are not unfamiliar with laptops. They did not rush to draw conclusions, but quickly turned on. The first thing he saw was anthropomorphic star smiley face popping up, and a line of English combooks (netbooks) below, followed by the familiar Microsoft Windows boot screen.

Li Zekai observed the 8-inch color LCD screen of the laptop in front of him with interest. It has a pure white and extremely simple appearance. In addition, there are only a few green lines on the body, making it look full of youthfulness. Most especially, the extended antenna combined with the screen and the keyboard form a bright green lift, killing two birds with one stone. He lifted it gently and found that the whole machine weighs less than two kilograms.

Lee Xianyang attaches more importance to the practicality of this computer. He opens several Windows daily programs at will, and the operation is quite smooth, but when he opens the device manager and checks the computer configuration, he exclaims, "What is the 'Tai Chi' cpu?"

This is the most treasure that Yang Xing persuaded Bill Gates to buy out Windows Me at a low price, and it is also the development result of the "Tai Chi" central processing unit (cpu), the most confidential project of the entire Zhongxing Group. It took more than one billion US dollars to this end. In addition to acquiring multiple CPU design teams, it also took countless manpower and time to get the current finished product.

Last year, Yang Xing arranged for Wu Haijun and other subordinates to secretly form a "Tai Chi" CPU development team in the group, led by Li Guangnan, and then used the secret funds allocated by Yang Xing to acquire many microprocessor research and development teams such as Cyrix and Centaur that are well-known in the industry. They also set up research rooms in Silicon Valley and Hong Kong, and developed their own CPUs in more than a year with two competitive teams competing with each other. This is indeed an innovation.

Of course, according to Yang Xing's requirements, the "Tai Chi" CPU does not require the performance to catch up with Intel's high-end level of more than 1ghz, but only to achieve 80% performance, and just run Windows normally. Of course, the "Tai Chi" CPU also has its own advantages. It integrates Nebula Electronics' strengths in multimedia processing. Although the clock frequency is only 500mhz, the comprehensive computing function is between Intel's previous generation and the latest generation of Celeron CPU. However, with the powerful multimedia processing capabilities provided by the chip itself and the Microsoft Windows Me operating system, it can directly play most of the network streaming media formats, and can also edit and process media such as CD, DVD, etc., greatly enhancing the computer's multimedia functions.

With the "Tai Chi" CPU, relying on the ability of superstar computers to produce key computer components such as motherboards, LCD screens, memory sticks, and experience in producing laptops for multiple international manufacturers, it is natural to come up with this small laptop in front of you. After solving the hardware problem, Yang Xing must personally negotiate with Bill Gates when he persuaded Microsoft to provide an operating system. Because the technology of "Tai Chi" CPU is not as good as Intel and Amd, and it uses some slightly outdated 16-bit programs, Yang Xing's goal is not to target Windows XP that only supports 32 programs, but to choose Windows Me system that is relatively backward but compatible with 16-bit programs.
