While other brands were fighting for the market share, the brands controlled by Feng Yu were not in a hurry. They maintained the same production speed. Although the sales did not drop by a lot, it was still declining.
The other brands saw that Wind and Rain Electronics did not introduce the Super VCD player. Seems like this was just a gimmick. When Wind and Rain Electronics introduce DVD players, the rest of the companies will have developed new technologies in the DVD industry. At that time, no one knows who will own the market.
Thomas also asked Feng Yu how much longer they need to wait. Their production lines had finished testing, and they had fully understood the technologies provided by Wind & Rain Electronics. Can they start the production of the Super VCD player now?
Feng Yu told Thomas to wait for another one to two months. The Super VCD player will be launched in the market, and Feng Yu will continue to research on the DVD player. Feng Yu hopes to introduce a successful DVD player two years after the Super VCD is launched.
Wind & Rain Electronics was working hard to develop the DVD optical drive. Although the optical drive for the VCD was good, it was only good. The first optical drive provided to Lenovo could only be used to read data and not to burn.
Feng Yu wants the CD-ROM drive to be able to read and burn discs. This way, it can replace floppy drives and let optical discs replace floppy disks.
If Wind and Rain can monopolize this market, then all the PC manufacturers will look for Wind and Rain Electronics to work with them. The profits will be higher.
Of course, Feng Yu also wanted Lenovo to have this on their PCs. This will help Lenovo to capture more market share and increase their brand value. After all, Feng Yu also owns some shares in Lenovo.
Give the patent authorization to Lenovo? Of course not. But Feng Yu can use the patent authorization to invest in Lenovo. This way, Feng Yu's profits will be maximized.
Lenovo could not reject this request. This was the best opportunity for Lenovo to enter the world market. Compared to increasing their brand value and profits, Feng Yu was willing to give up some of his shares.
If Lenovo still does not agree, Feng Yu could still fork out the money. If Lenovo was willing to sell all their shares to Feng Yu, Feng Yu would dare to buy all their shares! Not only Lenovo's brand and technologies, but Liu Chuanzhi is also very important to Lenovo. Feng Yu even felt that Liu Chuanzhi was more important than Lenovo!
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, it was already June. As an exchange student, Feng Yu only had to hand in a few sets of homework and take a simple test. He didn't have to worry about the procedures at all.
Li Na didn't come to Hong Kong on Labor Day this year, because Feng Yu had gone back to China and visited Li Na. Moreover, in the third year of university, the workload was heavier, and Feng Yu was about to return to Beijing.
Feng Yu was the most special student among the exchange students. He was not only the only exchange student for two semesters, but he was also the student who received special treatment. Feng Yu did not leave much of a mark in Hong Kong University. It was mainly because he did not attend many classes.
The only person Feng Yu valued, Professor Liang, was not poached by him. But luckily, Professor Liang had agreed to help Feng Yu if there is an opportunity to stop the overseas speculators.
Feng Yu's biggest gain from his trip to Hong Kong was getting to know some of the Hong Kong tycoons. Some of these tycoons were stupid and only knew how to eat and wait for death. But there were also some outstanding ones like Li Zekai. These were Feng Yu's connections and will be of great help to him in the future.
Feng Yu also noticed that Li Zekai was very capable. At least, Feng Yu was no match for him. Of course, the most important reason was that Feng Yu was lazy!
To Feng Yu, if others could work for him, why should he work for himself? Many people wanted to be the boss because they wanted to have the final say and enjoy the feeling of being on top.
But Feng Yu was different. He wanted to be the boss because he wanted to make more money and ensure the company's direction was not wrong. Feng Yu was also generous. He gave shares to the management talents he selected and let them run the company. Feng Yu also did not interfere with the appointment of the middle management personnel, except for the head of the finance department.
Feng Yu even bought shares of Wahaha, Bing City Pharmaceutical, etc. and only provided suggestions. He did not make the final decision.
But because of this, people like Zong Qingxian and the rest were willing to listen to Feng Yu's suggestions. This was because they realized that Feng Yu's suggestions were always right.
After listening to Feng Yu's suggestions, the company's development increased. Although Feng Yu had invested in the company and got a share of the profits, the company's profits had increased.
Feng Yu was only good at financial investments. Although he had learned a lot from school, he was still lacking compared to those second generations who had been exposed to them since they were young.
Just look at Fu Guangzheng's reputation in Hong Kong. Even his father did not trust him. But after he started working with Feng Yu, he had shown his outstanding management skills. This made Feng Yu less worried.
From the procurement of raw materials, production to sales, Feng Yu could do everything himself. All he had to do was to propose this idea, set the general direction, and invest as the major shareholder.
In Feng Yu's previous life, all the tycoons do not only focus on one product. Even Bill Gates owns shares of many companies other than Microsoft.
As for those mega companies, most of them also diversified their development. None of them only focused on one business. Just look at Lenovo in Feng Yu's previous life. Lenovo's businesses include real estate, retail, PC, software, and even clothing, food, etc. But Lenovo was only a software company.
The advantage of Lenovo was that when one business is not doing well, there will be other businesses that can generate profits for the company. But the disadvantage was there might be too many businesses, and the company could not differentiate between the main and secondary businesses. As a result, the company could not maximize the profits from each business.
But Feng Yu's investments did not have these concerns. Most of his investments were separated. Other than his Wind and Rain brand, Tai Hua brand, Aiwa brand, Aiwa brand, Wahaha brand, Songjiang brand, Sixth Sense brand, etc. Feng Yu does not need to worry about these brands. Every business was related to each other, but not closely.
This allowed Feng Yu to maximize the profits from each business. His wealth grew at an unimaginable speed. No one knew how much Feng Yu had. Only Feng Yu knew.
When all his wealth was gathered, it will be the time for Feng Yu to make a move. At that time, Feng Yu's funds will not be less than 10 billion USD. He might even work with some tycoons from Hong Kong and China. He will be able to use more funds and have the confidence to make a killing during the financial crisis!
After his exams at Hong Kong University, Feng Yu returned to Beijing. Wind & Rain Electronics's next move is about to begin!
