Chapter 113 Security Company and Personal Computer (Please Collect, Read and Vote)
Diaoyutai State Guesthouse was established in 1959 and is located in Diaoyutai, the western suburbs of Beijing. In 1958, the government decided to build the State Guesthouse to receive foreign heads of state and government who were invited to China to attend the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the founding of New China.
From then on, this was the best hotel in the capital.
There is no way for ordinary people to stay in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, even if they have money.
This was also Liu Tao's first visit to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. He was quite shocked when he saw the antique Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
You must know that the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse covers an area of 420,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 165,000 square meters, of which the lake area is 50,000 square meters.
The entire Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has a quiet and elegant environment. There are green flowers, trees and stone bridges among the pavilions and pavilions. The classical atmosphere and modern architecture are harmoniously combined, and the scenery is beautiful.
No wonder the ancient Diaoyutai was a palace where emperors visited and rested, and was known as the ‘Emperor’s Diaoyutai’.
After a series of verifications, Liu Tao finally met Huo Yingdong.
"Comrade Liu Tao, do you want to see me for something?" Huo Yingdong asked curiously.
Liu Tao nodded and said, "Mr. Huo, I came to see you this time to seek cooperation."
"Cooperation?" Huo Yingdong was puzzled.
Liu Tao is a firearms designer, and he is just a businessman. What can they do to cooperate?
"Mr. Huo, do you think that opening a security company in Xiangjiang, where the security guards are retired soldiers from the mainland, will have development prospects in Hong Kong, Macao and even the entire Nanyang?" Liu Tao asked.
Huo Yingdong was startled, then smiled and said: "Of course it has great prospects and broad prospects. At least I know that those rich people are in need."
Huo Yingdong knew very well how insecure the wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang, Aocheng and Nanyang were.
For his own safety and the safety of his family, he also hired a lot of bodyguards.
But many of the bodyguards of wealthy businessmen are not professional.
"One of the things I want to discuss cooperation with is that I want to set up a security company in Xiangjiang with Mr. Huo. I will be responsible for providing veterans, guns and ammunition, body armor, and professional training. Mr. Huo, you will be responsible for the operation." Liu Tao said, "In the future, when I obtain the rights to develop oil fields, gas fields or mines, I will also ask this security company to perform security work when developing them. Of course, Mr. Huo also has the right to participate in the development."
Huo Yingdong's eyes flashed, and countless thoughts were already running through his mind, wondering whose will Liu Tao did this.
After a long time, Huo Yingdong smiled and said: "This profitable business is naturally a good thing."
Soon, the two agreed on a cooperation method.
Huo Yingdong also wanted to increase the defense force in this way. After all, he knew very well how many enemies he had and how powerful they were.
With such a security company, the safety of him and his family will be greatly improved. At the same time, it will also serve as a deterrent to those who want to use the following three cruel methods to deal with him.
The barrel of a gun is the most powerful force!
Huo Yingdong recognized this very much. He had no chance before, but now that the opportunity was in front of him, he naturally had to seize it.
"The first batch is tentatively 500 people. I will arrange the company venue and accommodation first." Huo Yingdong said: "However, it is best not to bring heavy weapons into Xiangjiang, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Heavy weapons generally refer to weapons above heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
Artillery, tanks and other armored vehicles, aircraft, etc. are all heavy weapons.
Heavy weapons are indeed not suitable for equipping security companies, otherwise they will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
However, heavy weapons are not suitable, but light weapons are no problem.
There is no problem with light machine guns and sniper rifles. After all, these are light weapons.
Pistols and rifles are no longer a problem.
"Mr. Huo is very thoughtful," Liu Tao said.
From Huo Yingdong's introduction, Liu Tao also had a preliminary understanding of Xiangjiang.
In recent years, relying on its unique geographical location, Xiangjiang has developed very fast and its population has grown very rapidly. The entire population of Xiangjiang has exceeded 5 million, and its GDP has reached 22.526 billion US dollars. Together with South Korea, Singapore and Baodao, it is also known as the "Four Four in Asia" Little Dragon'.
At present, the Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang have become much stronger over the past few decades. They are not willing to accept the status quo and are trying to compete for interests with British capital.
The British capital in Xiangjiang was very strong, led by the four major foreign companies, namely Jardine Matheson, Swire & Co., Hutchison & Co. and Wheelock & Co.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Hong Kong economy is under the control of British capital.
Now if the Chinese capital wants to develop further, it must snatch food from the tiger's mouth of the British capital and compete for profits. Otherwise, the British capital will eat all the meat, and the Chinese capital will have no other meat to eat.
However, Huo Yingdong was constrained by his own position, was hostile and wary, and found it difficult to make a difference.
As Fok Ying-tung himself said, no rich man in Hong Kong lives on thin ice like him after making a fortune, like walking on a tightrope and surrounded by dangers.
"The security company is only one of the cooperations, and the other cooperation is personal computers." Liu Tao said.
"Personal computer?" Huo Yingdong looked at Liu Tao in confusion.
Since the birth of computers, computer technology has been at the forefront of the world. Such high-level technology is simply not something a small place like Xiangjiang dares to imagine.
The rich people in Xiangjiang are either engaged in shipping, real estate, trade, etc. As for industry, they are almost negligible.
So, although personal computers have been around for a long time, they are not taken seriously at all.
In recent years, personal computers have made rapid progress, but there has been almost no ripples in Hong Kong.
Liu Tao wants to make personal computers because the development of the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun involves this aspect, and he also knows how big the market for personal computers is.
Bill Gates has been the world's richest man for more than ten consecutive years with Microsoft.
Originally, Liu Tao thought that Panshan Machinery Factory could make gas tanks in the civilian field, and also thought about making air conditioners or refrigerators and TVs, but he thought that personal computers would be the most suitable for the first product.
Because personal computers are the outlet of the times, and are even hailed as the computer revolution, changing and affecting all aspects of the world.
The best way to export computers is to go through Hong Kong, and through Hong Kong, they can be exported to any country in Europe and the United States very smoothly.
Moreover, Liu Tao can handle the production, but he can't handle the management, after-sales, and channel construction.
So he needs a partner, and there is no doubt that Ho Ying-tung is the most suitable.
"I would like to ask Mr. Huo to buy a Xerox 860 personal computer. When I have figured it out, we can cooperate to produce personal computers." Liu Tao said with a smile.
Huo Yingdong looked at Liu Tao in confusion, "Aren't you a gun designer? Do you know computers?"
Liu Tao smiled, "Even if I don't understand, I have a lot of technicians. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Maybe we can figure it out."
With the system, Liu Tao is full of confidence.
Is it harder to develop a personal computer than to develop self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and armored vehicles?
Besides, the 08 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun has a digital fire control computer, and he is not a novice who knows nothing about computers.
With some memories of computers in the previous life, it is always much easier than people who know nothing.
