The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 444 Harboring Resentment! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Wu Feng spent the Spring Festival in Saigon again in 1992.

The outside world's disturbances did not affect the lively and bustling atmosphere here.

Several years have passed, and Saigon has begun to take shape.

It can't compare to the bustling areas of Hong Kong Island, but it's quite different from Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan.

Wu Feng and Jiang Tiansheng donate a sum of money every year specifically to improve the infrastructure and public facilities in Saigon.

According to him, since you've done a good deed, you should put it into practice!

The annual meeting of my company before the new year was not held in Saigon.

It was quite impressive to throw out a million Hong Kong dollars in cash for a lucky draw at the annual meeting.

Of course, the best grand prize is still a 50-square-meter fully furnished apartment, as 'tacky' as ever.

Every year at the end of the year, the annual lucky draw at Wu Feng's company's annual meeting always arouses a lot of envy among Hong Kong's working class.

In fact, newspapers have even reported on it in the last two years.

It gave Wu Feng's company a good boost in reputation.

According to feedback from the group's human resources department, recruiting graduates from universities in Hong Kong Island has become much easier for the group's various branches in the past two years.

Wu Feng neither confirmed nor denied this.

Compared to the numerous university graduates recruited by branch offices in Hong Kong Island, the number of university graduates recruited by mainland factory groups is truly considerable.

Even vocational school graduates are quite capable individuals.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, Wu Feng was playing with two toddlers who were already able to walk unsteadily in a small building in the new residential area.

Weng Hong and Li Saifeng personally took charge of the cooking.

"I won't be traveling far this year, but I'll probably be spending most of my time in Shenzhen!"

During the meal, Wu Feng revealed his general plans for the year.

He also needs to observe the situation carefully; being wary of the United States is no joke.

VCD players, arcade machine manufacturing, BBK learning machine technology, and many other white goods technologies may not seem like much.

However, his poaching of many scientists and technical engineers from Wang Laboratories to establish computer and document research institutions, and even his plans to enter the field of computer manufacturing, were somewhat taboo.

There's no other reason than that Wang Laboratories has very strong technical capabilities!
In 1974, Wang Laboratories developed a commercial computer with its own patented technology.

While current computer assembly technology may not be the most advanced, it's sufficient for most needs in Asia.

With the existence of such a large market in mainland China, it won't be difficult to gradually improve the overall technology.

At least, it's much better than a certain company that specializes in OEM manufacturing.

In fact, at that time, the chip technology in mainland China was only about ten years behind the most advanced technology in the United States.

Unfortunately, the internet and home computers exploded too rapidly.

Before the mainland could even react, the chip technology gap had been completely widened by European and American manufacturers who were constantly iterating.

Putting aside other things, the chips in the BBK home learning machine produced by Wu Feng's company are made in mainland China.

Wu Feng was unsure of the US's reaction at this moment.
At that time, computer manufacturing technology definitely belonged to the high-tech field.

Before the internet revolution fully unfolded, the functional differences between desktop computers were not actually that significant.

Previously, Wu Feng had recruited computer engineers who utilized the unique Chinese character card technology in mainland China to develop a matching laser printing mode.

Laser printer technology isn't hard to find in the US. What the engineers needed to do was adapt it to match the document system on Wang Laboratories' computers and then translate it into Chinese.

In fact, the technical content is not high in the eyes of the engineers who are poached, but the market is quite large.

Just think about it: in small county towns in the fourth or fifth tier of mainland China, there is bound to be a printing shop in front of every junior high school and high school!

This shows just how vast the market potential is for this localized laser printing system.

Meanwhile, the factory groups in mainland China already have dedicated workshops for manufacturing laser printers, and their production processes have been adjusted accordingly.

His actions, at present, are not considered anything significant.

However, once the internet wave arrives, it can unleash a truly astonishing power.

Wu Feng didn't believe it; he thought no one in America could see through the clues.

This is what he fears.

"I see. Then we'll reduce our filming schedule this year!"

Weng Hong and Li Saifeng were overjoyed to hear this. They were naturally unaware of Wu Feng's true thoughts, but they still made a decision quickly.

If it weren't for Wu Feng's continued support in helping them continue making films, and the fact that Fengrui Films was their own company, they would have thought about shutting down long ago.

There's nothing we can do about the environment on Hong Kong Island!
Before movie stars' earning power is recognized by the wealthy, the word "actor" isn't exactly a compliment.

Especially female celebrities who marry into so-called wealthy families, they all wish they could completely sever ties with their previous social circles.

Wu Feng was not a generous person and would have an indifferent attitude towards his woman.

The main point is that Li Saifeng is a rare female kung fu star in Hong Kong.

In movies and TV shows, as long as you can show that you're good at fighting, there's no need to portray any romantic relationships.

As for Yvonne Yung, she doesn't have the ability to become a kung fu star.

She could easily play professional women or fashionistas, specializing in suspenseful dramas and workplace series.

In fact, there's no need to portray romantic love characters.

This was a rare and outstanding display of their abilities.

Wu Feng felt that it would be best for the two of them to have their own careers.

They don't need to be incredibly glamorous; their own satisfaction is enough.

Otherwise, if she focuses all her attention on men and children, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause.

The so-called elite atmosphere in Hong Kong Island is not good at all. In addition, the two women themselves do not have a good cultural background and are not good at adjusting their mindset. They are easily influenced by the bad atmosphere.

As his business expands, Wu Feng will likely only spend about half the year in Hong Kong.

Wu Feng couldn't take them around too much, as the two little kids were still too young to handle such a hassle.

With more free time, coupled with the grudges of some wealthy families, the women will inevitably talk to them about random things, which can easily cause trouble.

It would be better to let them have their own careers to keep them busy, and with the children taking up most of their attention, Wu Feng would naturally be able to allocate his time more reasonably.

It's not that he's a jerk, but the last few years have indeed been a critical juncture.

Some high-ranking officials on the mainland had already guessed what he wanted to do, but they didn't say it outright, while still giving him enough support in private.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be an easy task for Wu Feng to recruit so many honey badger.
