Chapter 579 [The Sailor King is gone! 】
At the end of March 1975, the design blueprint for the new town of Tin Shui Wai was released, which caused intense discussion throughout Hong Kong Island for a while;
This is the largest investment in Hong Kong in history, and it may even be an investment of ‘no one before, no one afterwards’;
With private investment, a new town that can accommodate 500,000 people is the only example in the world.
Tin Shui Wai New Town has a total area of 52 million square feet. The design blueprint roughly divides the 52 million square feet into three areas;
The first area-Tianshuiwei High-tech Industrial Park, covering an area of 23 million square feet;
The second area-Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, covers an area of 4 million square feet;
The third area-living area (including primary and secondary schools, hospitals, shopping malls and other facilities), covers an area of 25 million square feet.
The living area is divided into 10 large-scale housing estate projects, each housing estate has an area of 2 million square feet;
10 large-scale housing estates, each of which is estimated to be more than 50 residential buildings with more than tens of thousands of residential units;
The 30,000 low-rent housing units promised to the Hong Kong government are also evenly distributed among the five large housing estates within each large housing estate.
After the design blueprint was announced, the major construction teams immediately began to enter the venue. After all, the works bureau of the Hong Kong government participated in the design blueprint, and the approval was very fast.
Wu Guangyao predicts that in the early 1980s, the Tianshuiwei Science and Technology Industrial Park could enter the main enterprise;
In the late 1980s, basically the entire project was over!
The total cost of building Tin Shui Wai is estimated to be 20 billion Hong Kong dollars to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and a 60% loan model will be adopted;
Perhaps Wu Guangyao’s wealth was estimated by the bank, so the banks on Hong Kong Island basically agreed to the loan.
September
Wu Guangyao took a private jet urgently to New York, and finally met Onassis for the last time in a hospital in New York.
came to the ward, walked to the bed, Onassis grabbed Wu Guangyao's hand;
"Wu, do you think the Onassis family will follow in the footsteps of the Kennedy family?" Onassis with the oxygen tube plugged in, the first sentence when he saw Wu Guangyao was a sad story.
Wu Guangyao shook his head confidently and said: "No! I am a lucky person, I will bring luck to the Onassis family!"
After listening to Wu Guangyao's words, Onassis showed a smile on his face!
"You are right! You brought three boys to the Onassis family, which opened up the Onassis family in Greece; then, will you still help Kristina in the future?" Onassis was uneasy. Said.
The Guangyao Family Office and the Onassis Family Office have established a connection;
So, Wu Guangyao is already involved in the affairs of the Onassis family, of course, he can only provide some suggestions.
Wu Guangyao turned back, pulled up the hand of Jistina who had been pregnant again for 5 months, and then turned to look at Onassis;
"Yes! As long as she is willing to listen to me!"
Onassis' eyes lit up instantly, and a heart finally let go.
Actually, although Wu Guangyao did not look at Onassis’s survivors, he also knew that Jistina had inherited the property and fleet;
But it is also stipulated that more than five years can be used to control these, and it is naturally entrusted to the family office in the early stage.
Wu Guangyao came here very coincidentally, Onassis passed away that night;
A generation of Merry Ship King, that’s it!
Wu Guangyao sighed in his heart, he is not a sailor king, I hope to live until 2031!
As a junior, she helped Kristina deal with Onassis's funeral, which made Kristina very touched!
After the matter is settled, Wu Guangyao and Kristina talked in the villa;
"The things that happened after your father died, have been arranged in an orderly manner. You only need to worry about raising the baby and do some official business regularly!"
"Hmm! Thank you for your help these days!"
Wu Guangyao nodded, and then said: "If you need help, you can contact me directly! Also, our relationship issues, I hope everything is confessed! If you have someone you like in the future, then you must tell me, and Before we break up, we cannot have close contact with any men. Of course, you only need to inform me in advance, everything is no longer a problem!"
Kistina is very touched these days, Wu Guangyao can help deal with his father’s future generations;
I just didn’t expect Wu Guangyao to say these words suddenly!
Kistina said angrily: "As soon as my father died, you wanted to break up?"
Wu Guangyao fiddled with Kristina’s hair intimately, and said, “It’s not that I’m talking about breaking up, but that I give you enough options. I don’t care, I can spare a certain amount of time every year to accompany you. ! But I know that our relationship is the most unfair to you, but I can't stand it. Without my knowledge, you have an affair with other men, so I hope you can do it."
Wu Guangyao hadn’t finished speaking, Kistina, who was infatuated, said quickly: “I can do this to be the only man in this life! I only hope you can accompany me several times a year!”
Wu Guangyao didn't believe it, but he wouldn't expose it, so he said a few love words and sent away Kristina.
Silicon Valley, Lenovo Industrial Park.
Akio Morita and Dao Jing Shen reported the situation to Wu Guangyao.
Sony's second-generation TV game console once again achieved unprecedented results. In just 2 months, it achieved sales of 300,000 units;
According to the price of 168 US dollars, it is about 50 million US dollars in sales.
The second-generation TV game console is equipped with four classic games "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders", "Metroid", "Tetris" and other games developed by the developers themselves, a total of nine games!
Although the results are good, Wu Guangyao is still not satisfied. After all, there is another opponent-Nintendo's red and white machine;
However, Wu Guangyao was thinking about holding the outline of classic games such as Mario, Contra, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon in his own hand;
Isn’t it just a secure victory?
Wu Guangyao smiled and said to the two confidants: "After the development of the second-generation game console, we finally brought video games into a new era; you will make the next plan, but I have a requirement, that is, the hardware must be added. With great R&D efforts, just like Moore’s Law, our hardware technology will also be a new generation in 18 months."
Wu Guangyao did not immediately come up with the outline of "Mario" and "Contra" and other games, but "stocked" the Sony game console for one or two years;
Wait in 1977, Wu Guangyao re-developed the research and development of the red and white machine project, and came up with several classic games;
This will allow time to digest the current results!
Jing Shen laughed and said: "The president can rest assured that with the company’s strong R&D funds over the years, Lenovo’s IC chips and great results have been achieved. IC chip."
Speaking of IC chips, Wu Guangyao remembered one thing, and said: "Is Mitsubishi Electric developing very well in the field of IC chips!"
The two nodded earnestly, and Jing Shenda said: "Mitsubishi Electric has funds provided by a large consortium, and it has developed very fast in this area over the years!"
"Compared to Lenovo Electronics?"
"more or less!"
Wu Guangyao said: "In this case, I heard that Nintendo and Mitsubishi Electric have reached a cooperation agreement, then we have to be more careful! Set up an opponent for you, that is Nintendo. You must beware of this company. Talents dig some, even suppress and buy!"
At this time, Nintendo does not have arcade games and TV game consoles, but once Mitsubishi Electric is combined, there is a guarantee in the chip field, and there is basically nothing to restrict it!
Although I don’t know why the boss values such a small company, Akio Morita nodded;
A potential competitor, if given the opportunity, he will not hesitate to attack him, even his compatriots.
Next, everyone talked about other products.
Wu Guangyao shook his head especially when talking about the Betamax tape format developed by Sony for use in video cassette recorder systems;
This has made Morita Akio’s self-confidence take a hit, the boss is not optimistic about this standard?
Indeed, Wu Guangyao knew that this format would eventually lose to the VHS system developed by Panasonic’s JVC company.
Because Lenovo Group is basically handed over to senior management, Akio Morita and Ibuka have a lot of freedom;
In the company’s product development, basically two people have the final say;
While Wu Guangyao only proposed products he was familiar with, Wu Guangyao did not participate in video recorders and cameras at all.
"Boss, are there any shortcomings in the Betamax tape format?" Akio Morita asked tentatively. Wu Guangyao is the soul of Lenovo Group, and Akio Morita has always admired him very much.
Wu Guangyao hesitated and replied, “I don’t understand technical issues, so I don’t comment! But you have set technical standards. If there is no cooperation with a large number of manufacturers, it is an exclusive technology; there is an old Chinese saying, If the rival company develops an open format standard, manufacturers will respond one after another. I believe we will lose out in the end. And as far as I know, the Betamax standard recording time is only one hour. Obviously it is not enough. I think there should be 4 hours of recording time."
According to Wu Guangyao's memory, the reason why JAC under Panasonic's previous life finally succeeded was because Panasonic ignored JAC's issue and insisted on abiding by the 4-hour recording time proposed by the American Radio Corporation.
Jing Shenda's heart suddenly came out, this boss seems to be really ignorant of technology!
Jing Shenda euphemistically said: "Boss, if it takes 4 hours to record, the speed of the tape will be reduced from 4 cm per second to 2 cm and the narrowing of the image track will make the image quality loss too serious."
Wu Guangyao stalled, did not argue, just said: "You go to RCA to promote sales and see what customers will ask! Moreover, according to my investigation, Panasonic's JAC is developing a standard format against us. I hope you will pay attention to it. !"
Akio Morita and Daxiang Inobu agreed to agree, the boss, who had never interfered with this kind of thing, suddenly warned;
Both of them suddenly felt a little unconfident about the Betamax standard!
Wu Guangyao did not participate too much. It is just a video format standard. Even if it fails, Sony will not be affected at all!
"By the way, you will set up another project team to develop a game watch combining LCD electronic games and digital dials!"
Akio Morita and Inobu University have been accustomed to Wu Guangyao’s unconstrained ideas, and they immediately agreed;
Because they both know that although the boss doesn’t understand technology, he looks at them hundreds of times;
And Wu Guangyao only needs to provide an idea, and naturally someone will develop it for himself.
Afterwards, Wu Guangyao learned about technologies such as handheld game consoles, memory chips, LCD screens, lithium batteries, and so on;
In general, the situation is very gratifying!
The value of Lenovo Group has surpassed Panasonic, becoming Japan’s largest electronics and electrical appliance group;
At this time, the Lenovo Group is like a combination of Sony, Atari, and Nintendo in the previous life, plus a series of home appliance production and chip technology blessings.
Los Angeles, Universal Studios Headquarters.
Wu Guangyao and Akio Morita came to Universal Cinemas together to inspect the work;
Today, Universal Pictures has become an important source of profit for Sony, so Akio Morita also attaches great importance to it.
Wu Guangyao sat in his exclusive office, while Morita Akio and Sidney Simberg sat on the sofa;
Universal Group can achieve current results, these senior executives know that they cannot do without Wu Guangyao's guidance;
Therefore, although Wu Guangyao does not come to the company often, these senior executives still regard Wu Guangyao as a god!
"Can "Star Wars" be released on Christmas?" Wu Guangyao asked.
"Yes, it is now at the end of the editing. It is expected that all work will end in October and enter the propaganda stage!" Sidney Simberg said.
Sidney Simberg added: “Recently, Sony’s video game consoles have become popular. Among them, games such as Space Invaders and Metroid have been welcomed by people, and have a great impact on our movie Star Wars. Propaganda role!"
The video games "Space Invaders" and "Metroid" and the movie "Star Wars" are all alien themes;
At that time, it is inevitable that there will be a wave of aliens in Europe, America and Japan!
Wu Guangyao said with a smile: “This is an effect of mutual promotion. By then, the sales of Sony’s second-generation consoles will probably have to increase by more than 30%.”
Akio Morita and Sidney Simberg nodded, the joy on their faces was beyond words.
Next, Wu Guangyao took out a cartoon from his briefcase and handed it to Sidney Simberg;
"This is an animation IP created by my comic company. Recently, I will ask the person in charge to talk to you about cooperation!"
Sidney Simberg was taken aback, then quickly took it, turned a few pages, and then fell into it unknowingly;
This makes Morita Akio very curious, a comic IP can actually make Hollywood giants addicted.
And Akio Morita also knows that the comic company owned by the boss, it was a blow to Japan’s Hitotsubashi Group;
And Akio Morita, because of his boss, also watched a series of animation IPs such as "Dragon Ball", "Detective Conan" and "Ultraman".
For a long time, Sidney Simberg said with excitement: "The imagination is unbelievable. If a sci-fi movie is made, this is an IP that is not lost to Star Wars."
This is natural, the outline of "Transformers" given by Wu Guangyao is based on the movie series;
So, Sidney Simberg can tell at a glance that this is also a big movie IP.
Wu Guangyao nodded and said, “But let’s save this movie for twenty years before shooting it! Currently Universal Pictures is cooperating with my animation company to broadcast the cartoon series on American TV.”
Universal Pictures and MGM both have TV production departments, so this is the channel Wu Guangyao can use;
Regarding the market promotion of Transformers, Wu Guangyao and Li He discussed the result that, in the early stage, the sales of toys were the mainstay, and the manga and animation were supplemented, and they were promoted in the market.
This is the same as the previous Hasbro’s sales strategy. Transformers initially focused on selling toys.
I am afraid that the turnover of toys and peripherals is higher than the sales of comics, animation, and movies.
This is the greatest charm of IP!
Sidney Simberg nodded and said, "Boss, will Universal Pictures come to shoot this movie in the future?"
Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "If you want to shoot the best Transformers, the current special effects and technology simply cannot meet the requirements. I expect it may be 20 years; by then, you will have retired and you are still thinking about so many things!"
Sidney Simberg smiled wryly: "Although I am retired, I am still a shareholder of Universal Pictures, so I naturally like Universal Pictures getting better and better!"
Wu Guangyao was taken aback, and he ignored this. Sidney Simberg did have nearly 2% of Universal Pictures.
Wu Guangyao said: "Naturally hand it over to Universal Pictures to shoot!"
Universal Pictures after the shooting of "Star Wars", followed by "Jaws 2" and "Alien ET", even "Star Wars" is a series of movies;
Therefore, Wu Guangyao did not come up with a new proposal this time, which is regarded as a stocking of Universal Pictures.

After all, the works bureau of the Hong Kong government participated in the design blueprint, and the approval was very fast.Wu Guangyao predicts that in the early 1980s, the Tianshuiwei Science and Technology Industrial Park could enter the main enterprise;In the late 1980s, basically the entire project was over!The total cost of building Tin Shui Wai is estimated to be 20 billion Hong Kong dollars to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, and a 60% loan model will be adopted;Perhaps Wu Guangyao's wealth was estimated by the bank, so the banks on Hong Kong Island basically agreed to the loan.SeptemberWu Guangyao took a private jet urgently to New York, and finally met Onassis for the last time in a hospital in New York.came to the ward, walked to the bed, Onassis grabbed Wu Guangyao's hand;"Wu, do you think the Onassis family will follow in the footsteps of the Kennedy family?" Onassis with the oxygen tube plugged in, the first sentence when he saw Wu Guangyao was a sad story.Wu Guangyao shook his head confidently and said: "No! I am a lucky person, I will bring luck to the Onassis family!"After listening to Wu Guangyao's words, Onassis showed a smile on his face!"You are right! You brought three boys to the Onassis family, which opened up the Onassis family in Greece; then, will you still help Kristina in the future?" Onassis was uneasy. Said.The Guangyao Family Office and the Onassis Family Office have established a connection;So, Wu Guangyao is already involved in the affairs of the Onassis family, of course, he can only provide some suggestions.Wu Guangyao turned back, pulled up the hand of Jistina who had been pregnant again for 5 months, and then turned to look at Onassis;"Yes! As long as she is willing to listen to me!"Onassis' eyes lit up instantly, and a heart finally let go.Actually, although Wu Guangyao did not look at Onassis's survivors, he also knew that Jistina had inherited the property and fleet;But it is also stipulated that more than five years can be used to control these, and it is naturally entrusted to the family office in the early stage.Wu Guangyao came here very coincidentally, Onassis passed away that night;A generation of Merry Ship King, that's it!Wu Guangyao sighed in his heart, he is not a sailor king, I hope to live until 2031!As a junior, she helped Kristina deal with Onassis's funeral, which made Kristina very touched!After the matter is settled, Wu Guangyao and Kristina talked in the villa;"The things that happened after your father died, have been arranged in an orderly manner. You only need to worry about raising the baby and do some official business regularly!""Hmm! Thank you for your help these days!"Wu Guangyao nodded, and then said: "If you need help, you can contact me directly! Also, our relationship issues, I hope everything is confessed! If you have someone you like in the future, then you must tell me, and Before we break up, we cannot have close contact with any men. Of course, you only need to inform me in advance, everything is no longer a problem!"Kistina is very touched these days, Wu Guangyao can help deal with his father's future generations;I just didn't expect Wu Guangyao to say these words suddenly!Kistina said angrily: "As soon as my father died, you wanted to break up?"Wu Guangyao fiddled with Kristina's hair intimately, and said, It's not that I'm talking about breaking up, but that I give you enough options. I don't care, I can spare a certain amount of time every year to accompany you. ! But I know that our relationship is the most unfair to you, but I can't stand it. Without my knowledge, you have an affair with other men, so I hope you can do it."Wu Guangyao hadn't finished speaking, Kistina, who was infatuated, said quickly: I can do this to be the only man in this life! I only hope you can accompany me several times a year!Wu Guangyao didn't believe it, but he wouldn't expose it, so he said a few love words and sent away Kristina.Silicon Valley, Lenovo Industrial Park.Akio Morita and Dao Jing Shen reported the situation to Wu Guangyao.Sony's second-generation TV game console once again achieved unprecedented results. In just 2 months, it achieved sales of 300,000 units;According to the price of 168 US dollars, it is about 50 million US dollars in sales.The second-generation TV game console is equipped with four classic games "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders", "Metroid", "Tetris" and other games developed by the developers themselves, a total of nine games!Although the results are good, Wu Guangyao is still not satisfied. After all, there is another opponent-Nintendo's red and white machine;However, Wu Guangyao was thinking about holding the outline of classic games such as Mario, Contra, Donkey Kong, and Pokmon in his own hand;Isn't it just a secure victory?Wu Guangyao smiled and said to the two confidants: "After the development of the second-generation game console, we finally brought video games into a new era; you will make the next plan, but I have a requirement, that is, the hardware must be added. With great R&D efforts, just like Moore's Law, our hardware technology will also be a new generation in 18 months."Wu Guangyao did not immediately come up with the outline of "Mario" and "Contra" and other games, but "stocked" the Sony game console for one or two years;Wait in 1977, Wu Guangyao re-developed the research and development of the red and white machine project, and came up with several classic games;This will allow time to digest the current results!Jing Shen laughed and said: "The president can rest assured that with the company's strong R&D funds over the years, Lenovo's IC chips and great results have been achieved. IC chip."Speaking of IC chips, Wu Guangyao remembered one thing, and said: "Is Mitsubishi Electric developing very well in the field of IC chips!"The two nodded earnestly, and Jing Shenda said: "Mitsubishi Electric has funds provided by a large consortium, and it has developed very fast in this area over the years!""Compared to Lenovo Electronics?""more or less!"Wu Guangyao said: "In this case, I heard that Nintendo and Mitsubishi Electric have reached a cooperation agreement, then we have to be more careful! Set up an opponent for you, that is Nintendo. You must beware of this company. Talents dig some, even suppress and buy!"At this time, Nintendo does not have arcade games and TV game consoles, but once Mitsubishi Electric is combined, there is a guarantee in the chip field, and there is basically nothing to restrict it!Although I don't know why the boss values such a small company, Akio Morita nodded;A potential competitor, if given the opportunity, he will not hesitate to attack him, even his compatriots.Next, everyone talked about other products.Wu Guangyao shook his head especially when talking about the Betamax tape format developed by Sony for use in video cassette recorder systems;This has made Morita Akio's self-confidence take a hit, the boss is not optimistic about this standard?Indeed, Wu Guangyao knew that this format would eventually lose to the VHS system developed by Panasonic's JVC company.Because Lenovo Group is basically handed over to senior management, Akio Morita and Ibuka have a lot of freedom;In the company's product development, basically two people have the final say;While Wu Guangyao only proposed products he was familiar with, Wu Guangyao did not participate in video recorders and cameras at all."Boss, are there any shortcomings in the Betamax tape format?" Akio Morita asked tentatively. Wu Guangyao is the soul of Lenovo Group, and Akio Morita has always admired him very much.Wu Guangyao hesitated and replied, I don't understand technical issues, so I don't comment! But you have set technical standards. If there is no cooperation with a large number of manufacturers, it is an exclusive technology; there is an old Chinese saying, If the rival company develops an open format standard, manufacturers will respond one after another. I believe we will lose out in the end. And as far as I know, the Betamax standard recording time is only one hour. Obviously it is not enough. I think there should be 4 hours of recording time."According to Wu Guangyao's memory, the reason why JAC under Panasonic's previous life finally succeeded was because Panasonic ignored JAC's issue and insisted on abiding by the 4-hour recording time proposed by the American Radio Corporation.Jing Shenda's heart suddenly came out, this boss seems to be really ignorant of technology!Jing Shenda euphemistically said: "Boss, if it takes 4 hours to record, the speed of the tape will be reduced from 4 cm per second to 2 cm and the narrowing of the image track will make the image quality loss too serious."Wu Guangyao stalled, did not argue, just said: "You go to RCA to promote sales and see what customers will ask! Moreover, according to my investigation, Panasonic's JAC is developing a standard format against us. I hope you will pay attention to it. !"Akio Morita and Daxiang Inobu agreed to agree, the boss, who had never interfered with this kind of thing, suddenly warned;Both of them suddenly felt a little unconfident about the Betamax standard!Wu Guangyao did not participate too much. It is just a video format standard. Even if it fails, Sony will not be affected at all!"By the way, you will set up another project team to develop a game watch combining LCD electronic games and digital dials!"Akio Morita and Inobu University have been accustomed to Wu Guangyao's unconstrained ideas, and they immediately agreed;Because they both know that although the boss doesn't understand technology, he looks at them hundreds of times;And Wu Guangyao only needs to provide an idea, and naturally someone will develop it for himself.Afterwards, Wu Guangyao learned about technologies such as handheld game consoles, memory chips, LCD screens, lithium batteries, and so on;In general, the situation is very gratifying!The value of Lenovo Group has surpassed Panasonic, becoming Japan's largest electronics and electrical appliance group;At this time, the Lenovo Group is like a combination of Sony, Atari, and Nintendo in the previous life, plus a series of home appliance production and chip technology blessings.Los Angeles, Universal Studios Headquarters.Wu Guangyao and Akio Morita came to Universal Cinemas together to inspect the work;Today, Universal Pictures has become an important source of profit for Sony, so Akio Morita also attaches great importance to it.Wu Guangyao sat in his exclusive office, while Morita Akio and Sidney Simberg sat on the sofa;Universal Group can achieve current results, these senior executives know that they cannot do without Wu Guangyao's guidance;Therefore, although Wu Guangyao does not come to the company often, these senior executives still regard Wu Guangyao as a god!"Can "Star Wars" be released on Christmas?" Wu Guangyao asked."Yes, it is now at the end of the editing. It is expected that all work will end in October and enter the propaganda stage!" Sidney Simberg said.Sidney Simberg added: Recently, Sony's video game consoles have become popular. Among them, games such as Space Invaders and Metroid have been welcomed by people, and have a great impact on our movie Star Wars. Propaganda role!"The video games "Space Invaders" and "Metroid" and the movie "Star Wars" are all alien themes;At that time, it is inevitable that there will be a wave of aliens in Europe, America and Japan!Wu Guangyao said with a smile: This is an effect of mutual promotion. By then, the sales of Sony's second-generation consoles will probably have to increase by more than 30%.Akio Morita and Sidney Simberg nodded, the joy on their faces was beyond words.Next, Wu Guangyao took out a cartoon from his briefcase and handed it to Sidney Simberg;"This is an animation IP created by my comic company. Recently, I will ask the person in charge to talk to you about cooperation!"Sidney Simberg was taken aback, then quickly took it, turned a few pages, and then fell into it unknowingly;This makes Morita Akio very curious, a comic IP can actually make Hollywood giants addicted.And Akio Morita also knows that the comic company owned by the boss, it was a blow to Japan's Hitotsubashi Group;And Akio Morita, because of his boss, also watched a series of animation IPs such as "Dragon Ball", "Detective Conan" and "Ultraman".For a long time, Sidney Simberg said with excitement: "The imagination is unbelievable. If a sci-fi movie is made, this is an IP that is not lost to Star Wars."This is natural, the outline of "Transformers" given by Wu Guangyao is based on the movie series;So, Sidney Simberg can tell at a glance that this is also a big movie IP.Wu Guangyao nodded and said, But let's save this movie for twenty years before shooting it! Currently Universal Pictures is cooperating with my animation company to broadcast the cartoon series on American TV.Universal Pictures and MGM both have TV production departments, so this is the channel Wu Guangyao can use;Regarding the market promotion of Transformers, Wu Guangyao and Li He discussed the result that, in the early stage, the sales of toys were the mainstay, and the manga and animation were supplemented, and they were promoted in the market.This is the same as the previous Hasbro's sales strategy. Transformers initially focused on selling toys.I am afraid that the turnover of toys and peripherals is higher than the sales of comics, animation, and movies.This is the greatest charm of IP!Sidney Simberg nodded and said, "Boss, will Universal Pictures come to shoot this movie in the future?"Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "If you want to shoot the best Transformers, the current special effects and technology simply cannot meet the requirements. I expect it may be 20 years; by then, you will have retired and you are still thinking about so many things!"Sidney Simberg smiled wryly: "Although I am retired, I am still a shareholder of Universal Pictures, so I naturally like Universal Pictures getting better and better!"Wu Guangyao was taken aback, and he ignored this. Sidney Simberg did have nearly 2% of Universal Pictures.Wu Guangyao said: "Naturally hand it over to Universal Pictures to shoot!"Universal Pictures after the shooting of "Star Wars", followed by "Jaws 2" and "Alien ET", even "Star Wars" is a series of movies;Therefore, Wu Guangyao did not come up with a new proposal this time, which is regarded as a stocking of Universal Pictures.End of this chapter
