Chapter three hundred and seventeen full attack
A few months ago, when Zhao Dongsheng left Haidu and went to Australia, he agreed to write a letter to Bai Xin, but was forgotten by the matters between Warwick Group and Huangzhou City.
Usually, Zhao Dongsheng's itinerary was arranged, and Han Susu would remind him on time, but no one knew about Bai Xin except Zhao Dongsheng, so Han Susu naturally could not remind him to write a letter to Bai Xin.
Zhao Dongsheng knew Bai Xin's personality very well and knew that what Bai Xin hated the most was someone else lying to her. He agreed to write a letter to Bai Xin but failed. Bai Xin must be very angry with him now.
After patting his forehead, Zhao Dongsheng leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes closed. He had to make up one reason to perfunctorily for the current plan, but what should he say?
As the saying goes, care is confusing. For a moment, Zhao Dongsheng had no good ideas. Who would have thought that the boss of Warwick Group, which is in the eyes of people, would have a moment of sitting on wax.
Finally, Zhao Dongsheng carefully wrote a letter to Bai Xin, complaining in the letter that he was sent by his boss to Africa to explore the market some time ago. Not only was he exhausted, but he also said with lingering fear that he had encountered a rebellion and was almost killed by a group of unidentified militants.
In order to prove that he had been to Africa, Zhao Dongsheng specially sent Bai Xin the photos he took when he went to Africa two years ago. He decided to take the method of retreating to advance and deliberately divert Bai Xin's attention.
Sure enough, Bai Xin quickly replied to Zhao Dongsheng, expressing deep sympathy for Zhao Dongsheng's "unfortunate experience" and encouraged Zhao Dongsheng, the "uncle", to be strong and not to go through the storm, how can you see the rainbow?
After receiving Bai Xin's letter, Zhao Dongsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He cared too much about Bai Xin, for fear that Bai Xin would be angry with him, and then ignored him.
Bai Xin asked Zhao Dongsheng in the letter if he would come to Haidu this summer vacation. Zhao Dongsheng looked through his itinerary and found that the itinerary from now to the end of the year had been fully arranged. So he apologized to tell Bai Xin that the boss wanted him to go to the on-site supervisor of a project during the summer vacation, and he could not leave at all.
However, Zhao Dongsheng told Bai Xin that he had time during the Chinese New Year, and that he would take a vacation at that time. He would go to Haidu and give Bai Xin a gift he brought from Africa.
Since Zhao Dongsheng could not receive and send letters in his real identity, his letters were transferred through a staff member at the headquarters of the Warwick Group. The staff member was a child of Huangzhou Machinery Factory. Zhao Dongsheng once helped his family solve many difficulties, so he was respectful to Zhao Dongsheng and was deeply trusted by Zhao Dongsheng.
In fact, it is not only the staff member, but also the children of Huangzhou Machinery Factory, because Zhao Dongsheng had worked in Huangzhou Machinery Factory, and the close relationship between Warwick Group and Huangzhou Machinery Factory, they often think that they are the "Imperial Guard" of Warwick Group, so their relationship with Zhao Dongsheng is closer than that of ordinary employees, so they follow Zhao Dongsheng's lead.
Indeed, the children of Huangzhou Machinery Factory were promoted faster to Warwick Group than ordinary employees. There was no way. Who made most of the middle-level leaders of Warwick Group more or less related to Huangzhou Machinery Factory? Therefore, the children of Huangzhou Machinery Factory naturally had an advantage in the promotion.
In mid-July, Warwick Group officially held a press conference and announced the price of rare earths to the outside world. Depending on the value, the prices of 17 rare earth elements range from US$20,000 per ton to US$200,000 per ton.
Zhao Dongsheng has conducted a relevant investigation. Based on the role of rare earth metals in industrial manufacturing and the cost of mining in related countries, the price he set is very reasonable, especially since most of China's rare earths are rich in rare earths, which contain a lot of rare earths and are of great competitiveness in the international market.
At the press conference, some reporters questioned whether Warwick Group wanted to monopolize the international rare earth market with this. Wu Wen smiled and explained to the reporters on the scene that there are more than one country in the world with rare earths. The United States and Russia have rare earths with very rich reserves. If you think that Warwick Group's rare earth export price is too high, you can buy them from countries with rich rare earth content such as the United States and Russia. This is the basic market rule.
Moreover, Wu Wen also said that Warwick Group is willing to work with rare earth merchants from the United States and Russia to jointly contribute to the international rare earth market and set a reasonable price together.
Wu Wen's answer made reporters who questioned the price of Warwick Group's monopoly on the international rare earth market speechless, which also inspired foreign rare earth merchants.
For a long time, the main reason why foreign rare earths have not been mined is that in addition to some national policies, the main reason is that China's rare earth export price is too low, which makes it impossible for foreign rare earth merchants to mine their own rare earths because they lose as much as they mine.
Since China is the country with the largest export volume of rare earths, the prices of the international rare earth market will be affected by the export price of rare earths of Warwick Group. Foreign rare earth merchants pursue profits, and of course it is impossible to lower prices to anger Warwick Group. Once Warwick Group expands its export volume and lowers its prices, it will have a serious impact on their rare earth business.
Therefore, after Warwick Group sets the price of rare earth exports, foreign rare earth chambers of commerce follow the specifications between industries and cannot sell at a lower price. In this way, the benefits of the entire industry will be lost and will be suppressed by other rare earth merchants. It is not worth the loss, so it is better to make a fortune in silence.
Therefore, after the press conference of Warwick Group ended, some foreign rare earth dealers immediately contacted Tianyu Group, a subsidiary of Warwick Group, to discuss rare earth cooperation. Tianyu Group will be responsible for Warwick Group's mining affairs.
Every rare earth vendor knows very well that only by joining together Tianyu Group, the largest international rare earth exporter, can their interests be maximized. After a violent fluctuation, the international rare earth prices gradually stabilize.
In the first half of 1995, the thing that made Zhao Dongsheng most happy was that Lu Liang had recovered after several months of careful cultivation and could now handle the affairs of Tianyu Group, which made Zhao Dongsheng breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, the candidate for Del, the general manager of Tianyu Group, would have really been a headache for him.
In July, in order to adapt to the needs of development, Zhao Dongsheng reorganized the Overseas Investment Company of Warwick Group, not only transforming Tianyu Group into Tianyu Mining Group, but also established two companies under the overseas investment company, one is Huanhai Oil Group, which is responsible for oil, and the other is Tiandi Financial Group, which is responsible for financial investment.
In this case, with Tianyu Mining Group and the "three giants" of Warwick Group's overseas investment company were officially established.
Among them, Tianyu Mining Group is headquartered in Paris, France, Huanhai Oil Group is headquartered in London, England, and Tiandi Financial Group is headquartered in New York, USA.
Due to the improvement of the scale and level of the overseas investment company of Warwick Group, Lu Liang stepped down as general manager of the overseas investment company and was changed to deputy general manager. Wu Wen served as general manager of the overseas investment company of Warwick Group, which shows that Zhao Dongsheng attaches great importance to the overseas investment company of Warwick Group.
At the same time, the general managers of Huanhai Petroleum Group and Tiandi Financial Group, like Lu Liang, are both deputy general managers of Warwick Group Overseas Investment Company, and are responsible for the important task of developing overseas energy and resource markets.
At the same time, a major event happened in Warwick Group in July. On July 1, the Computer Business Development Department of Warwick Group established "Sky Computer Research Co., Ltd. (Sky)" in New York, and Tang Jie, the manager of the Computer Business Development Department, became the general manager of Sky Software.
Immediately afterwards, on July 10, Sky Software officially launched the sky1.0 operating system to the global market. The sky1.0 operating system is a hybrid 16-bit/32-bit operating system, bringing a more powerful, more stable and more practical desktop graphical user interface.
During the development of sky1.0, Zhao Dongsheng "drawed on" the operating technologies of many software companies twenty or thirty years later, such as Microsoft, which made the performance of this operating system very superior in this era, surpassing similar products from Microsoft and Apple in this era.
In order to promote the sky1.0 operating system to the world, Zhao Dongsheng spent more than 100 million US dollars to advertise around the world. The launch conference of the sky1.0 operating system on July 10th was held in New York, USA, Paris, France and London, UK at the same time. It was a huge momentum and invited many people and journalists in the software industry.
The grand sky1.0 operating system launch conference achieved good publicity results, which caused a sensation in the international community, especially the software industry. People in the software industry have highly praised it, believing that sky1.0 will usher in a new era of computer operating systems. TV stations in many countries have reported on this news, which made the sky1.0 operating system famous internationally.
Sky1.0's appearance is a heavy blow to Microsoft's upcoming Windows 95 operating system, which will be released on August 24.
Because sky1.0 is very similar to Windows 95 in terms of conception and style, but its performance is more superior than Windows 95, and it has added some new performances that Windows 95 does not have.
Since Sky Company has registered patents for Sky1.0 operating system related technologies in the United States, Microsoft, which uses similar technologies, has to postpone the release of Windows 95 and then seek solutions to avoid litigation from Sky Software.
After repeated considerations, Microsoft officially sued Sky Company in a New York court for suspected plagiarism of Microsoft's technology. Unfortunately, Zhao Dongsheng had already prepared some things and had already prepared relevant materials. He formed a lawyer team to counter-argument and counter-claimed Microsoft's commercial false accusations.
Since Sky Company was the first to register a patent, and Sky1.0's performance is better than Windows 95, Microsoft has been in a passive position in the dispute with Sky Company because it has no way to prove Sky Company has illegitimately stole its technology.
Just when Microsoft was having a verbal battle with Sky, sky1.0 had already launched versions of multiple languages around the world. The lawsuit between the two parties made Sky1.0 even more famous, making it a snap up by customers as soon as it was released, and global sales were booming.
The dispute between Sky Company and Microsoft lasted for half a year. In the end, the court ruled that Sky Company's registered patented technology was an independent product and did not involve plagiarizing Microsoft's technology. In the end, Microsoft lost the case and compensated Sky Company for $100 million in reputation losses.
Since then, Microsoft has taken a downward stairs, and Sky Company has become famous, defeating its competitors in the market in just two years, and being praised as the most successful operating system in history, bringing huge benefits to Warwick Group.
In August, the first film invested by Warwick Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. under the Warwick Group, "The Second Uncle" with rural life theme swept through the three major international film festivals of Venice, Cannes and Berlin, and won the Venice Golden Lion Award, Cannes Golden Palme d'Or and Berlin Golden Bear Award in one fell swoop, causing a big sensation at the International Film Festival.
Warwick Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. is the former Warwick Performing Arts Company. A few years ago, several of Wu Wen's sisters in the Huangzhou Song and Dance Troupe felt that they could not get along with the Song and Dance Troupe, so they found Wu Wen. Wu Wen mentioned it to Zhao Dongsheng, and Zhao Dongsheng asked Wu Wen to establish Warwick Performing Arts Company.
With Wu Wen's personal attention, Warwick Performing Arts Company developed rapidly, gradually developing from singing and dancing performing arts to film and television. In 1994, Warwick Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. was established and is entering the entertainment industry.
The director of "The Second Uncle" is Zhao Dongsheng. The reason why he made this movie was completely a joke, which was purely accidental.
After the establishment of Warwick Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd., Wu Wen thought about how to start shooting a successful movie to get a good start.
As a veteran, Zhao Dongsheng is very clear about the judges of the three international film festivals, so he told Wu Wen that films with rural life themes may achieve relatively good results at the three international film festivals. He suggested that he shoot films with rural themes.
Seeing that Zhao Dongsheng was very talkative, Wu Wen seemed to be eager to try it out, so she smiled and asked Zhao Dongsheng to direct the first work of Warwick Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. anyway, there is no famous director. It would be better to let Zhao Dongsheng try it out, which can be regarded as making Zhao Dongsheng relax.
Zhao Dongsheng refused but so he filmed a film "The Second Uncle" in the rural areas of Huangzhou City, which reflects the life of rural families and local customs. The film was filmed for two months in total. Because Zhao Dongsheng was tight, except for the direction of the story and the character's character controlled by Zhao Dongsheng, most of the other time was completed by two fledgling assistant directors.
In fact, Zhao Dongsheng did not expect that the effect of "The Second Uncle" would be so good that it would stand out from many movies and won the gold medals of the three major international film festivals in one fell swoop. He himself was confused about the title of "Internationally Famous Director".
