Just as the filming was in full swing, a piece of bad news reached Xiao Yunhai's ears.
"Yunhai, Steyr Networks has made their move."
It was Wu Yifa who called.
A few months ago, Xiao Yunhai had contacted General Electric of America, hoping that the two companies would work together to set up Yun Yi's shopping website in America.
The next day, Jeff Welch went to Hua Xia to visit Yun Yi's shopping website and hit it off with Wu Yifa.
Due to General Electric's strong influence, Yun Yi's shopping website was launched in Europe and America last month.
Just the advertising fees alone, the two companies had invested a terrifying one billion US dollars. It could be described as overwhelming.
It was said that this month's turnover was decent, reaching 1.20 billion US dollars. There were 2,784 million registered members and the number was increasing daily.
Almost everyone in Europe and America knew about Yun Yi's shopping website, which was very convenient for shopping. They could also use Yun Yi's communication device to talk to the owners of online stores and buy items at the cheapest price.
The rise of Yun Yi's shopping website had unavoidably affected Steyr E-Commerce's business, so Xiao Yunhai was not surprised by the company's move.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What did Steyr Networks do?"
"Their e-commerce website has twenty-three million members, ten times more than us," Wu Yifa answered. "They're expanding their business now and have signed contracts with many companies. At the same time, they're using discounts and other tactics to attract customers."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "That's normal. If it were me, I wouldn't sit around and do nothing. They didn't pay enough attention to the e-commerce website before, but now that they see Yun Yi's shopping website doing so well, they're anxious. Don't worry, General Electric is there to take care of Europe and America. We just need to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. "
Wu Yifa smiled bitterly. "Of course, I'm not worried about that. Steyr Networks is preparing to enter Asia. They're holding a press conference in Beijing today, preparing to move their main business to Hua Xia. The first thing they're doing is investing forty billion US dollars to build three websites — a e-commerce website, a video website, and a music website. Almost all of them have something to do with you. Damn, this American Big Mac is really too rich. Yunhai, they're not here for you, are they? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Bullshit. If David Steele was willing to pay such a high price to deal with me, he wouldn't be where he is today. Of course, it was normal for him to attack me along the way. Hmph, he couldn't beat me with his movie, so he set his sights on other industries. David Steer is really an old fox. "
Wu Yifa chuckled and said, "You killed his son and cheated him of at least 150 billion. If it were me, I would kill you."
Xiao Yunhai said, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Besides, no matter what website he builds, it doesn't have much to do with me. Yun Yi's shopping site is yours, Jiu Jiu Music is Hu Yaoting's, and Immortal Moon Video is Brother Wenbin's. So, CEO Wu, please take care of it yourself. "
Wu Yifa scolded jokingly, "Xiao Yunhai, you're really something. You're giving me a hard time."
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's the truth. I'm just speaking the truth."
After the call ended, Xiao Yunhai's expression turned serious.
Xiao Yunhai may have said it casually, but he knew very well that David Steer was coming for him.
Once David Steer gained a foothold in Hua Xia, he would be the next target.
In spite of it, Xiao Yunhai was not afraid at all.
In Hua Xia, Xiao Yunhai had everything. David Steer could not do anything to him in America, what more in Hua Xia.
Xiao Yunhai took out his phone and dialed Raúl's number.
"Boss, do you have any instructions for me?"
Xiao Yunhai asked, "How's our TV station?"
Raúl laughed, "Very good. Dornheim is a workaholic. He can finish a month's work in half a month. In addition to the foundation that Paramount has laid for us, we should be able to start broadcasting in early February. Boss, Dornheim told me something today. He wants to record the American version of 'The Voice of Hua Xia', 'Run, Brother', and 'Millionaire' in one go. He feels that your three programs are very suitable for America. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I completely agree. Just transfer the money to him and let him record as soon as possible. Raúl, is there any movement from Paramount? "
Raúl thought for a while and said, "Paramount is rebuilding the amusement park. More than 60 cities are starting construction at the same time. It should be operational in June next year. Also, a movie that cost 1.2 billion USD will be released worldwide in a week. It's two days earlier than our 'Lord of the Rings 2'. I suspect that they're doing it on purpose. "
Xiao Yunhai sneered, "Even if they're not doing it on purpose, I'll take the initiative to find trouble with them. Raúl, from now on, keep an eye on the release date of Paramount's blockbuster. If there's a chance, snipe them. "
Raúl said, "Boss, I understand. Hehe, our four superhero movies are enough to give them a hard time. By the way, Boss, I want to report a piece of news to you. Paramount seems to be developing new special effects technology, and they've made a big breakthrough. "
Xiao Yunhai was shocked and said, "Where did you get the news?"
Raúl said, "An employee told me. He's good friends with one of the team leaders of Paramount's R&D team. When they were drinking, the other party accidentally let it slip. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "This is very important. Once Paramount's R&D is successful, it will have a huge impact on Magic City and Dream. "
Raúl said, "Boss, I don't think their new technology is better than ours. After all, they're just in the initial stages of R&D. There will definitely be many imperfections. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "We can't be careless. Steyr Networks's R&D department has many powerful people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to dominate the Internet for decades. Raúl, don't worry about this. Inform Daniel and let him handle it. "
Raúl said, "I've already told him. He's probably asking around."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, let's call it a day."
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai's expression was even more serious than before the call.
Steyr Networks's pressure made him feel the power of the other party for the first time. After all, it was a giant that dominated the world. Whether it was software or hardware, it was not something that Xiao Yunhai, who had a weak foundation, could compare to.
Especially in the R&D of special effects technology, the other party's technical reserves were obviously much stronger than Magic City and Dream. It had only been a short period of time, but they could actually abandon Magic City and Dream and come up with new technology. It was really amazing.
Fortunately, he had gotten his hands on the 3D technology first. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble.
