Chapter 199 Far Away in Si Jiucheng

Lei Busi was sitting in his office when he unexpectedly received an email personally sent by Su Yehao.

Normally, matters handled by the assistant's office were sent through another email account, and the difference between the two was quite obvious.

After Lei Busi finished reading the email, he discovered that this young boss suggested recreating a "Silver Sea Weibo."

According to the suggestions in the email, the length of user posts should be limited to 150 characters, replies to 100 characters, real-name authentication for celebrities should be implemented, social functions should be enhanced, major media outlets should be attracted to join, and four main sections—trending, local, hot search, and friends—should be developed, along with categorized interest groups.

Immediately afterwards.

An electronic survey report was also forwarded by Su Yehao. The content was none other than the survey conclusions and rectification opinions given by McKinsey Consulting for the Silver Sea Blog project.

Lei Busi roughly finished reading it and guessed that Su Yehao was not satisfied with the project's performance. He carefully organized his language to reply to the email, saying that he would find someone to hold a meeting to discuss it.

Thinking that he was rarely "summoned" proactively, he took the opportunity to get closer, so he asked about Chu Jun, the former major shareholder.

Su Yehao quickly replied—"??????"

Lei Busi typed a reply via email—"Last night, I had dinner with Chu Jun, Academician Ni, and others. I heard them say they bought plane tickets and were going to find you today. Could it be that they haven't arrived in Hong Kong yet..."

At the new international airport on Lantau Island.

At this moment, Chu Jun was taking a taxi outside the airport with two of Mr. Ni's students.

After they got into the car, the driver, unable to keep his mouth shut, curiously asked in Mandarin, "Judging from your accents, you're from around Si Jiucheng, right? What's in such a big box? Some special product from the north?"

"A computer."

Chu Jun casually replied.

The driver, who had moved to Hong Kong in his early years, spoke conceitedly and garrulously, "It's just a computer. I can buy three with a month's worth of driving. Is it necessary to be so careful? It would be fine in the trunk. If you get the back seat dirty, I'll have to clean it."

After listening, Chu Jun happily replied:

"Three? You couldn't afford this computer even if you drove for a hundred years. Several million US dollars were spent on research and development, and experts were hired from the United States to help optimize it. I specifically bought it a plane ticket just to keep an eye on it at all times. If it gets lost in the trunk, will you pay for it?"

How could the taxi driver know if it was true or false? He just assumed he was exaggerating without thinking and stepped on the gas, asking, "If it's so amazing, wouldn't you have arranged an armored car to pick you up? Why are you taking my taxi? Where are you going? Let me state in advance that the farther the distance, the more expensive it is. Taxi fares are very high in Hong Kong."

Chu Jun was too lazy to pay attention to him and only replied, "First, drive towards Central..."

He usually came into contact with businessmen from Hong Kong, and they were all polite, especially Su Yehao. Having been around him for so long, Chu Jun had never seen him lose his temper.

As the saying goes, "Still waters run deep," while ordinary people like to nitpick and compare, with a narrow vision.

Since partnering with Su Yehao, the total value of Chu Jun's shares in Silver Sea Network Group had approached 100 million RMB. He had not only bought a courtyard house near the imperial city of Si Jiucheng, but also a Bentley.

Now he was being "rehired" by Su Yehao to help produce personal computers, with an annual salary of about 3 million RMB. If he was lucky, he might even get some stock option rewards. He was definitely a successful person, so of course he was too lazy to argue with a taxi driver.

Chu Jun sat in the passenger seat and called Su Yehao. After the call connected, he laughed and said, "President Su! Where are you? I've come to Hong Kong to give you a surprise."

Su Yehao's voice on the other end of the phone was smiling: "Don't give me any surprises. I just emailed Lei Busi, and he's already sold you out. I was just about to ask where you were and if you wanted me to send someone to pick you up. Did Mr. Ni come?"

"Haha, so that's how it is. No need to pick us up, we're already in the car. Mr. Ni originally wanted to come, but he spent too much time in Taiwan and Japan, and he caught a cold these days, so he entrusted the task of meeting you in person to me."

"Okay, then come directly to Big Wave Bay. I just received a grouper and asked the chef to make some poached fish..."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Jun told the driver to go to the Su family's place in Big Wave Bay. The driver was stunned and didn't react for a moment. He asked, "Which Su family? Shek O?"

"Which other one could it be? Su Yehao's."

"..."

During the rest of the journey, the driver only felt that these northerners were unfathomable.

He originally thought they were probably just trying to impress him. After dropping them off, the taxi driver even waited for a while until he saw Chu Jun and the others actually being let in by the security guard at the gate. Only then did he drive away, feeling disappointed.

For the past month or so.

News about Su Yehao had been constant, and he had been in the limelight.

People were even speculating about who was richer, the Su family or Hong Kong's richest man, old Mr. Li.

Especially after Su Yehao snatched the Cyberport project a few days ago, this discussion had become the after-dinner conversation for many people.

Regardless of who was richer, the fact that Su Yehao, who had only been in business for a little over two years, could be compared to old Mr. Li in terms of family wealth was already a huge win.

You have to know that Su Yehao was only in his early twenties...

In the living room of the mansion.

After Su Yehao shook hands with Chu Jun and the others, he pointed at the box with a smile and said, "I'll have someone pull a network cable over here. Let's unpack it here. We've been preparing since the beginning of the year, and the finished product is ready so quickly?"

Chu Jun replied:

"Assembling a computer isn't difficult. The difficult part is how to stand out and find our own unique features. That's why Mr. Ni and the others took a little more time, which also caused you to spend some money. Knowing that most users like to play games, we designed ahead of the curve and arranged for people to go to Silicon Valley to discuss getting the testing qualification for the rivA-tnt2 display chip, Nvidia's latest product, which hasn't been launched yet."

Continuing to watch others unpack the box, Su Yehao asked, puzzled, "Is this display chip expensive? I know Nvidia, they seem pretty powerful."

"It's alright, the price hasn't been announced yet. Buying in bulk will definitely be cheaper. We've considered that it's best to focus on two series, office and gaming, and arrange for high-end and low-end configurations. The price of computers for office use will definitely be lower. The price will be higher for those using this graphics card, providing customers with different choices."

After Chu Jun finished speaking, fearing that Su Yehao wouldn't understand, he continued to explain:

"The upgrade speed of computers is too fast. What's mainstream now may become a substandard product by the time products are launched in two or three months. I've personally tested many computers on the market, and they can't run some new games at all. If we're not going to do it, we have to do it the best. We'll exchange our profits for configurations and give back to our customers. We'll definitely be able to make a name for ourselves in one fell swoop."

Seeing him explain so much, Su Yehao immediately laughed:

"Don't get me wrong, I think your ideas are correct. Cheaper things don't necessarily mean the quality has to be worse. Even if the price is similar to Liangxiang, but our configuration is higher, we're still very competitive. The original intention of only earning 5% per unit remains unchanged, even if it's lower."

As the padding was removed, a prototype with a dark gray casing appeared in front of everyone. The screen was square and very simple...
