"I think you can try it. If the funds are insufficient, I can also provide some." Ye Jin then said to Luo Kangrui, "But the first time you acquire it, it is best not to take too much steps. It is limited to around one billion Hong Kong dollars. I think it is more appropriate."

With a total of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, at this stage, we can buy a very good commercial building in Central.

It seems that Kinmen Building is 37 floors high and has an area of ​​500,000 square feet. It is also located on the Kindermond Xia Ling Road. It is very superior in both size and location. There are many such buildings in Central. If you are willing to acquire it, you can still find a seller.

When Luo Kangrui heard this, he nodded, and he agreed not to take big steps first.

Because Tongxin Real Estate does not have the experience of managing commercial buildings, it is still unclear how to recruit, serve, and manage them. If you rashly acquire super-large properties but are unable to manage them, it will likely cause chaos in the building.

At that time, tenants will cancel the lease, the building will be vacant, and resources will be wasted. So it is better to acquire a small and medium-sized property first, manage and accumulate experience.

"Mr. Ye, I understand, then I'll start to do it." Luo Kangrui expressed his opinion.

"OK, that's it." Ye Jin nodded, "If you have anything to do, please contact me."

...

In the United States, in September, Fox TV officially started broadcasting.

The main show is "Dragon Hard Boy Drama Edition", "Growth Troubles", and the variety show "Millionaire" written by Ye Jin.

In addition, there are also series purchased from the Syndicate organization and movies from Fox Pictures, which have relatively rich content.

After the broadcast, Fox TV's ratings were also good.

First, its style is fresh and more suitable for young people. The three major TV networks have been established for decades, and the main audience is the elderly in their thirties to sixties, so the style is relatively old and stale. In comparison, young people naturally prefer Fox TV.

Second, Fox TV has many exclusive programs, such as Fox Pictures’ classic movies, and three sets of programs written by Ye Jin, etc.

The TV industry has always been the king of content. Which TV station has better programs, which TV station has higher ratings. Fox TV happens to have good programs, so the ratings are naturally good.

In the ratings survey conducted by AC Nelson, in the same region, Fox TV's average viewership rate has surpassed ABC TV, second only to CBS and NBC.

In addition, several major programs on Fox TV, such as "Dragon Hard Kids Drama", "Growth Troubles", "Millionaire", etc., also performed quite well.

Especially when "Millionaire" was aired on Saturday night, the ratings exceeded the famous "Wheel of Lucky". A new variety show has such good ratings, which is really a bit eye-catching.

...

After the ratings of Fox TV were released, there were significantly more local TV stations willing to join.

They had concerns before because they were worried that Fox TV could not provide quality programs, which would lead to a decline in their viewership and a decline in revenue.

Now it seems that Fox TV's programs have a good viewership rate, even higher than the old TV network ABC, which dispels their concerns.

In addition, in order to recruit local TV stations to join, Fox TV has also launched a variety of preferential measures, such as reducing advertising commissions, increasing franchise fees, sharing of news resources, etc. These measures have further attracted TV stations to join.

This also caused Fox TV to expand step by step. By the end of 1979, Fox TV had 18 TV stations under it, covering 32 million viewers, which was quite influential.

Due to the rapid development of Fox TV, the future development of Fox Group is also optimistic and the stock price continues to soar.

Compared with Ye Jin's embarrassment before taking over, Fox Group has turned around and become the company with the highest market value, best performance and the best prospect among the six Hollywood giants.

...

In addition to Fox Group, the sales of CUS computers that Ye Jin previously invested in have also increased rapidly in recent months.

The reason is that it acquired the office software VISICALC (lime powder), took back all previous authorizations, and stipulated that it could only be used on its own computer.

VISICALC (Lime Powder) is the best office software on the market. It has functions such as tabulation, data processing, form access, etc. It seems simple, but it was already a very amazing software at that time.

Especially its interface is simple, intuitive and clear, simple to learn, and easy to operate, so it is very popular among users and is very suitable for office work.

In the 1970s, it was relatively rare to buy computers in private. In addition to computer geeks, most computer buyers were companies, and computers were mostly used for office purposes.

Therefore, if an advanced office software is configured on the computer, it can greatly improve office efficiency, it will undoubtedly be a huge selling point for company users.

Therefore, after Thor2 computer monopolized the VISICALC (lime powder) software, its sales immediately rolled up.

In July alone, it sold 100,000 units, which was a much higher monthly sales than Apple, the dominant leader in the personal computer industry.

By September, the sales of Thor2 computers were even higher, with monthly sales reaching 200,000 units, three times higher than that of Apple computers that month.

Moreover, its popularity and user reputation are also rising steadily.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, Visicalc software is really useful and is the most advanced office software at present. With its support, Thor2 computer is like a tiger with wings.

Just like the configuration of a top Android phone, it is not bad at all compared to Apple phones, or even better than that. However, Apple phones with IOS systems are more popular than any top Android phone.

On the one hand, the THOR2 computer is also excellent enough. Its configuration is currently at the top level, and the price is much lower than that of Apple computers. It is cheap and good-quality, and is naturally attractive.

On the other hand, the services provided by the Thor2 computer are also great. They not only provide high-quality after-sales service, but also provide home-based repairs and daily maintenance services for corporate users. This makes the THOR2 computer run well, and the probability of failure is reduced by nearly half compared to other computers.

What corporate users are most afraid of is computer failure. Because those data and forms are crucial, if the failure causes data to be lost, it may cause serious consequences.

Therefore, they generally require that the lower the computer failure rate, the better, and it is best to operate for decades without breaking. Although the Thor2 model also has bugs and can also fail, it can greatly reduce the failure rate due to on-site repair and maintenance services.
