The IEC Society delegation was originally just a private goods brought by Gu Ao.

As for the later inspection of the donation work of Lanting Cinema and Song Liuling Museum, it was just an amateur way to do it.

After saying goodbye to the foot of the mountain for a long time, Gu Ao and Xiao Sui returned to Qiantang that day.

After staying in Qiantang for a day and saying goodbye to his family, Gu Ao took Xiao Sui back to Hujiang first, and then Gu Ao himself prepared to return to the United States alone.

Calculate the date, it is already mid-March. Even according to the lunar calendar, it is already February, and the winter vacation has ended for more than half a month. If Xiao Sui had not been a senior intern, she would not have been able to delay so long before returning to school.

Who told her and Gu Ao to be in a long-distance relationship, to be precise, a foreign relationship. You can get together in winter and summer vacations a year. It is inevitable that you will feel that the opportunity is rare, so try to get tired of it for a few days.

However, this short half-month contact made Xiao Sui's understanding of Gu Ao deepen. She found that her husband is not only good at business and politics, but also has a deep cultural background. He is a very Discent and very Nice person.

Gu Ao's historical status in protecting the ruins of the Song Liuling site is enough to be compared with Lorenzo de Medici's huge sponsorship of Leonardo da Vinci's painting "The Last Supper", the Duke of Edinburgh rewarded Byron's "Don Juan", and a big boss whose head and head of the dragon became the leader of the silver alliance in "Return to 80 to be the boss".

Before leaving, Gu Ao told Xiao Sui that she would entrust her full responsibility for the work of connecting with the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang. If Gu Ao was in the United States, Sir Shao came to her for the incident of Mr. Cha's martial arts drama and asked Xiao Sui to help deal with it first.

Because Gu Ao has changed the legal representative of "Lanting Cinema Group" to Xiao Sui and asked her to help endorse. She naturally has to slowly get in touch with external relations in this area. Xiao Sui is originally from the literary and artistic circle, so it is appropriate to do this.

(The reason for this is a "group" is because it was mentioned in the previous article that state-owned assets invested in land and accounted for a certain share ratio. There is no way. If you want to build the Hengdian model in China, it is impossible to have 100% foreign investment now. The party that has to give the land must occupy a certain share. In history, Hengdian was established in 1994, but it was just a collective enterprise, and the town government held a large share. In addition, Gu Ao just gave the "legal representative" to his wife. This equity has nothing to do with, and the legal representative does not have to hold shares.)

The 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in history is about to be filmed, and Liu Dehua's version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is about to start filming. But since Gu Ao's butterfly effect has the effect of Gu Ao, Mr. Shi temporarily threw the hot potato of adaptation rights to Gu Ao in order to attack the wireless side. It is normal that these projects are delayed for some time.

Anyway, the wireless side is not that it can't survive without a certain drama. Now in Sir Shao's warehouse, the spare tire scripts that have not been favored are piled up as high as the roof, but the quality is different. If Sir Shao just pursues "to keep his subordinates idle and keep working", it will definitely not be difficult.

On Gu Ao's side, the management staff of Lanting Cinema calculated that "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Direction of the Curtain" both need to occupy the cinema park for about three months. "Burning the Old Summer Palace" will start filming in February and will enter the late stage in May.

Considering that some of the creators of the two dramas overlap, leaving a month between them, "Off the Curtain" can be started in June and the park can be vacated again in September.

Gu Ao instructed Xiao Sui that if Shaw Brothers asked him about the transfer and co-production of the adaptation rights, then he would delay Tai Chi until around September and let Shaw Brothers do other things first. If the price of the filming offered by Shaw Brothers is appropriate, he could also build "Songcheng Street" in advance for future "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Shen Yan" to be used. After the creation, he could also film other costume dramas in the Song and Ming backgrounds in the future.

Anyway, Gu Ao is determined to support the Lanting Cinema project, and try his best to increase the influence here and attract Xiangjiang Capital and media resources.

Signs and reputation are not overnight. The "Hengdian model" in history took nearly ten years to make people across the country think of Hengdian when they mention film and television bases.

...

After explaining and comforting his wife, Gu Aosi hurriedly took off from Hujiang, stopped in San Francisco for two days, and then returned to Watsonton before late March.

This "winter vacation" took a full month and a half, which was half a month longer than the holiday stipulated by American universities.

When passing by San Francisco, he inspected Tiankun Entertainment and focused on the development progress of the play-puter home machine project.

When planning the project, it was decided to "mass production level must be reached in May".

The actual inspection results were faster than Gu Ao expected.

Shurhof is very good at managing the company, and the technicians who jumped from Atari in January also burst out with R&D capabilities beyond expectations. It is said that the main reason is that Atari has focused on creating favorable benefits in the stock market in the past few years and despises the technical department. Gu Ao gave him a sense of belonging far exceeding Atari's sense of belonging, so R&D personnel work harder.

The simple and crude project bonus and "sales commission after the project is successful" incentive obviously hit these people's weaknesses.

"At present, the household machine in the memory card slot mode has entered the final stress test and compatibility test stage. If you run for another week, you can send it to Hanle Electronics for trial flow. After the production line process is running in, you can enter mass production.

In other words, the cassette machine will be mass-produced on April 1. The floppy drive machine has also entered testing, but there are still some bugs and stability issues, and it will be mass-produced before May 1."

This is Shurhoff's final promise to Gu Ao, and the progress of the stage is very clear.

Gu Ao personally tested and fired the game console for a whole day at Tiankun headquarters in San Francisco, and played all three fist products, "Troughs", "Future Warrior" (that is Conrad), and "Story of Adventure 2".

I also personally tested the mainstream bugs that often appeared in the early FC horizontal version of the game, and found that there was no problem.

So he ordered: "Very good. In early April, he sent the cassette machine design to Han Ting for trial production. In this way, Han Le Electronics can produce cassette machines in a centralized manner throughout April. By May, she will switch to floppy drives.

After the first batch of cassette machines are obtained, they will be shipped to several distribution warehouses such as San Francisco, New York, and Atlanta. Don’t rush to go on the market and ship it. By early June, after the first batch of floppy drive models are in stock, we will officially release two simultaneous releases to dealers.”

After Han Ting's Hanle Electronics expansion work is completed, when she fully produces home machines, she can have a monthly production capacity of 500,000 units (of course, it requires workers to work 12 hours per shift, two shifts, and the employment situation in 1983 is so bad that the special zone can recruit enough migrant workers to do hard work. There is no labor law to restrict overtime. The historical "million migrant workers go to the special zone" was formed around 1984.)

However, considering that she started to make money in early February, she planned that even if the factory was ready, as long as it was decorated and some SMT core workshops were dust-free, it would take at least the second half of the year to complete the expansion.

In contrast, buying SMT equipment and debugging does not take too much time. This is a problem of capital bottleneck, not a problem of construction speed bottleneck. You can accelerate with money.

After many communications with Han Ting, Han Ting could only ensure that a total of 600,000 units were produced for Gu Ao in four or five months, and another 400,000 units were produced in June, achieving a cumulative output of 1 million units in the first half of the year.

In the second half of the year, starting from July, Gu Ao will be guaranteed to have a stable monthly capacity of 500,000 units.

Therefore, when Gu Ao officially released new products to dealers, he could distribute 600,000 units at one time.

As for cassettes, Han Ting can also be produced separately from production lines to ensure that the three first-party fist masterpieces will have 200,000 pcb-type cassettes when they are on the market.

Gu Ao doesn't need to worry about the game floppy disk used for floppy drives and even the floppy drive components used for game consoles. All of them are produced by Sony. Tiankun Entertainment is only responsible for providing the floppy disk version of the software, and Sony will help copy them.

With Sony's family and business, they developed a 3.5-inch standard floppy disk and floppy drive since the end of 1981. After more than a year of marketing, no mainstream PC computer manufacturers are willing to use it. Gu Ao gave Akio Morita this opportunity, and Akio Morita would of course cooperate fully to let Sony take it seriously and will never tolerate losing the chain.

At that time, all factory floppy disks will be written in the read-only mode during the production stage. At the same time, Akio Morita also promised that it would not be possible to have a writeable 3.5-inch floppy disk on earth within one or two years to ensure that the floppy disk mode will not induce piracy problems unless other hardware companies cracked Sony's production process and illegally infringed Sony's patents and produced 3.5-inch floppy disks by themselves.

But this is undoubtedly very difficult. On the earth in 1983, there are still many technical bottlenecks that need to be overcome to create 3.5-inch floppy disk hardware, and it also has to revisit a lot of R&D investments that Sony has gone through. In two years, basically no one will imitate such a huge amount of money, because this is not something that a small factory can afford to invest.

Giants can afford to invest a lot of money, but the giants themselves are not big, their goals are obvious, and they are easily sued by Sony using legal means. Unlike small factories that can fight for wandering chickens, they are invisible. In a nutshell, they are afraid of legal risks and those who are not afraid of legal risks.

...

After all aspects of Tiankun’s home machine before it was put into production, Gu Ao had to do was to wait and deal with the sudden problems in the final stage at any time.

At the same time, he stayed in Watsonton and followed Kissinger's disciple to continue his studies.

After taking a month and a half off, I had to spend more time studying properly to be worthy of his name as a doctoral student at Georgetown University.

In late March and even throughout April, Gu Ao lived peacefully in Washington.

After May Day, in theory, a new semester for American universities began. While doing academic work, Gu Ao also participated in many campus social activities and sent off his last doctoral senior, Sarah Sandberg, to graduate.

There are also several master's degree students who also graduated with them. Because in history, Kissinger retired this semester in May 1983, most of the graduate students he recruited were of course planned to graduate at this time.

Only Gu Ao was recruited by him as an exception and did not consider his retirement time at that time.

So, by late May, Gu Ao was left with Crown Prince Abdullah, the kingdom of Jordan, and was still studying with him, while other seniors and juniors disappeared.

The official release date of Tiankun Home Machine is about to arrive.
