Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

On February 14th of this year, Xiangjiang Lianxiang went public; this news also reached Zhang San's ears, but it had nothing to do with him. It was an internal matter and had nothing to do with him. Moreover, he and Lianxiang had just started doing business.

However, when he saw the number of shares issued in the information he saw, he felt that there were a lot of them.

After its listing in Hong Kong, Xiangjiang Lianxiang issued a total of 6.75 million shares, of which Beijing Lianxiang held 2.618 million shares, accounting for 38.785%, four Hong Kong businessmen held 2.08 million shares, accounting for 30.819%, and the technology transfer company was reduced to an insignificant minority shareholder holding only 15 million shares.

The pre-installed price of the WINOS system is 38 yuan per unit, and the pre-installed price of the OFFICE suite is 108 yuan. They made a lot of money from this, so it can be said that the two are partners.

NT-MS is irrelevant in this regard; it's about cultivating a huge market. Furthermore, this installation differs from sales in other countries. With this installation, one system can only be installed on one PC; with overseas licenses, one system can be installed on up to five PCs.

Lianxiang is also the designated purchasing unit. With such a unit around, it can be said that Zhang San has made a lot of money in mainland China.

Driven by such interests, Zhang San naturally wouldn't care about assets being lost to individuals. As for whether he would take action to acquire shares of Hong Kong Lianxiang in 96 when the stock price would plummet to penny stock, that was no one else's business.

He's just optimistic about Lianxiang's future development, which makes sense, since they're partners.

Zhang San is someone who feels uncomfortable if he can't earn money himself. Since even Lian Xiang can make money by assembling things, why can't he?

Speaking of this, I have to mention something. At the beginning of Lianxiang's development, two voices emerged internally: one was "technology, industry, and trade," and the other was "trade, industry, and technology."

In this fast-paced society, in an era where everything is geared towards the future, trade, industry, and technology seem to be the way to make quick money; however, technology-based trade requires more investment, and the economic benefits generated are ultimately swallowed up by technology.

Zhang San believes both are correct. He thinks that trade can support technology development, but for some reason, this company that relies on its self-developed Chinese character card actually opposes technology.

During this period, they may feel that no matter how hard they work in research and development, they can't keep up with the speed across the ocean, or that the patent protection of their research results is lax and they might be taken away by someone else.

It's possible that they gave up on technology, industry, and trade; the reasons are too complicated for Zhang San to understand. As for whether there was a power struggle or who was in charge, he couldn't figure that out.

Zhang San was just a businessman, driven by profit. After seeing this incident, he ignored it. He only followed the routine instructions of Wing On Fund to pay attention to Xiangjiang Lianxiang and to buy it when the share price was below HK$0.5, and to keep buying it as long as it did not exceed HK$50.

Another matter he discussed was informing New Era Financial Group to establish an investment company for investing in new businesses.

"Stephen, how about going to Tokyo? You should like it there."

The invitation from Allen was like a devil's temptation. Zhang San thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it in the second half of the year."

He suppressed his inner turmoil, wondering if he had undergone a spiritual transformation.

"I have other things to do and can't leave for the time being."

Something really happened. Zhang San felt like a mascot. MCA had already established a branch in Hong Kong, with the aim of laying the foundation and expanding MCA's influence in mainland China.

In order to enhance its influence in mainland China, NT-MS is collaborating with top universities there and will also participate in the founding ceremony of a collaborative laboratory.

He happened to be in the capital, and with the mindset of letting his boss do more work, Zhang San was going to attend a few ceremonies.

Not long after the Lantern Festival, schools in Beijing reopened. Zhang San first went to Beijing Film Studio. As the ultimate boss of MCA Universal, his attendance at such an event demonstrated the importance he placed on Beijing Film Studio.

A convoy of cars stopped in front of the Beijing Film Studio. The people in the first car didn't get out; instead, the window rolled down and a driver handed out an invitation. The gatekeeper then let them in.

Today, Beijing Film Academy will hold its opening ceremony. Compared with other schools, Beijing Film Academy doesn't have many people; one large auditorium will suffice.

But many people witnessed this scene, and one student said, "Those people are really damn awesome. They didn't even get off the bus and just let them in."

"Stop being so sour, that guy must be a big shot."

"Don't stay here, the opening ceremony is about to start."

A group of people hurried toward the auditorium. When they got close to the auditorium, they saw the convoy from earlier. Then they saw many school leaders chatting with a young man. The group seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

What shocked them even more was that the young man was very casual. He was accompanied by two beautiful women, who were obviously his mistresses. Behind him were four foreigners, probably bodyguards, and then a number of people in black, probably more than a dozen.

"Stop looking, hurry up and get to the auditorium, it's about to start."

They then jogged towards the auditorium, and as soon as they entered, they saw people looking out the window and talking amongst themselves, seemingly discussing the young man outside.

"I heard that young man is a big shot in Hollywood." A student, who must have been well-informed, leaked this information.

"Hollywood? Really?"

"I heard it from Teacher Huang. She said that people from Hollywood Universal would be coming today. I thought it was that foreigner, but it turned out to be that young man who is about our age."

"Stop talking, it's starting. Look, that person is walking in with the principal."

The auditorium quickly quieted down. The leaders sat down on the stage, and Zhang San's two secretaries also sat in the first row. The bodyguards stood outside, ready to be deployed at any time.

"...Today, we have a distinguished guest, Mr. Stephen Zhang, the owner of MCA Universal from Hollywood. Now, please welcome him to speak to us."

Zhang San was somewhat unaccustomed to such a scene, but fortunately, he had someone prepare a speech.

"Thank you to the school leaders, teachers, and classmates for giving me this opportunity; and thank you to the teachers for not calling me Zhang San. That's right, Zhang is composed of the radical 'bow' and the character 'three,' and the character 'three' is composed of three horizontal strokes. My name is Zhang San."

The school leaders and teachers beside him smiled, and the students below laughed. After they quieted down, Zhang San continued, "Among you, some will become great directors and stars in the future. I'm very happy to be here today to say a few words for you..."
