Chapter 149 Completion Celebration
Holding a coming-of-age ceremony for his sister also fulfilled the common wish of Fang Hexuan and his mother.

After that, the life of the richest man gradually became more and more valued.

As the number of companies under his control increases, it is impossible for him to participate in the specific management work.

Therefore, finding the right talents and putting them in the right positions is the most important part of all Fang Hexuan's work.

On April 4, Susan Chow officially resigned from DreamWorks Movies and prepared to start her own political career.

Five of her former capable generals are still staying at DreamWorks to continue their respective careers.

Liu Tianci, the first management talent recruited by Fang Hexuan from Jiayi and one of the Six Gentlemen of Jiayi, was helped by Fang Hexuan to the position of president.

DreamWorks Movies has had a smooth transition, and DreamWorks Entertainment's stock price has not experienced much fluctuation.

On April 4, news came from Silicon Valley in the United States that IBM launched its first personal computer, the IBM 24.

This computer is equipped with the MS-DOS disk operating system developed from Fang Hexuan's 86-DOS.

Although there is no embedded GUI, IBM has great influence in the electronic information industry.
I believe it will sweep the office and home markets after its official release on August 8.

Microsoft, which has followed IBM's success, will undoubtedly reap huge benefits.

As the second largest shareholder of Microsoft, Fang Hexuan naturally hopes that Microsoft can take advantage of this shareholder to grow stronger.

Only when Microsoft grows stronger will it have the money to continue research and development and continue to develop an operating system that is truly suitable for ordinary people based on MS-DOS.

In that case, Maple Leaf will also benefit from Microsoft's development.

On April 4, Fang Hexuan went north to Shenzhen.

Tomorrow is Labor Day. People in the mainland particularly like to hold some celebrations before major holidays.

The SZ City Government chose to hold a grand celebration on the day before Labor Day for the city's first foreign investment project exceeding hundreds of millions of US dollars.

Because, after more than nine months of construction, the BYD and BMW automobile factories were finally officially completed.

The more than 3000 acres of land in Nanshan District, which was originally paddy fields and earth mounds, can now be seen as the prototype of a real park.

After Mr. Fang suggested introducing supporting enterprises to form a special industrial park for his automobile factory,
The SZ City Government listened to the advice and allocated an additional 2000 acres of land around the two factories to attract Chinese and foreign auto parts manufacturers to settle in.

In addition to his two factories covering an area of ​​1050 acres, Fang Hexuan also discovered several auto parts suppliers from Germany and Japan, which are also BYD's current suppliers.

Although BYD did make requests to its suppliers, hoping that they would set up factories in Shenzhen.

But unfortunately, this company currently has no reputation at all and has not produced a single car, let alone sold one.

Even with the halo of being the richest man, if he wants to use his power to pressure others and give orders to suppliers, that is purely his own wishful thinking. Big companies will definitely ignore BYD.

So I think that the SZ city government must have put in a lot of effort to see some supplier factories in this park.

He was quite satisfied with this kind of subjective initiative. No wonder Shenzhen later became China's Silicon Valley.

The roads, water and electricity in the entire industrial park are basically accessible. Except for some factories of other companies that are still under construction, it can be said that it is basically completed.

After the civil engineering works of the BYD and BMW factories are completed, automobile manufacturing and testing equipment will be shipped from abroad one after another.

The three steps of equipment arrival, installation and debugging will last about 3-5 months, after which trial production can begin.

Trial production also takes 2-3 months, and only after the production capacity is stabilized can we be prepared for large-scale export.

In short, according to the current progress, it should not be a problem to start mass production of BYD EVO regular models next year.

BYD President Hisahiko Uchiyama and BMW President Schemer were both present to inspect the site with their boss and city government leaders.

The news that they would be able to start mass production next year really made all the leaders very happy. Fang Hexuan's mouth curled up slightly. He certainly knew the progress of his own car manufacturing, but the SZ Municipal Government had never figured out the plans of the two companies.

The leaders are eager for the project to be put into production as soon as possible so that they can secure their political achievements as soon as possible.

After taking a look at the actual scene, everyone went to the venue of the celebration.

There were still huge crowds of people, and also many reporters.

Compared with the signing and groundbreaking ceremony on July 7 last year, there are many more reporters today.

In addition to CCTV, Guangdong TV, Shenzhen TV, Guangzhou TV and newspapers from this province, there are also many TV stations and newspaper reporters from other provinces and cities.

These media people will conduct in-depth interviews in Shenzhen for several consecutive days, especially this industrial park built for automobile factories, which will be the focus of their reports.

All parts of the country want to learn from Shenzhen's experience in attracting investment and developing modern industries. After all, reform and opening up seems to be irreversible.

Fang Hexuan went on stage and gave a speech after the celebration began, which was nothing more than "painting big pictures" and thanking all the leaders and friends.

Next, just like last year, I accepted interviews from CCTV and a newspaper.

As for other TV stations and newspapers, he was powerless and had to send his two company presidents to deal with them.

The next day, I returned to Hong Kong from Shenzhen.

Although Hong Kong also celebrates Labor Day, it is only a one-day holiday.

As a boss, he doesn't have any holidays, so he still goes to the Global Building to handle work as usual.

On May 5, the BYD EVO team that went to Hollywood to film "Cannonball Run" finally returned to Hong Kong.

In fact, Jackie Chan had already returned on April 4th, but the EVO technical team was half a month late because they had to deal with some other things.

It turns out that this car performed well during the actual shooting process.
It is not only loved by big stars like Peter Fonda, but also favored by the automotive engineers and prop masters of the crew.

It’s not that the EVO is so outstanding. In fact, all three cars had several failures during the filming.

However, these faults are not big problems and BYD's technical team can basically eliminate them in just a few dozen minutes.

What really makes this car popular with many people is that its appearance is cool enough, and its engine and chassis suspension have excellent road performance.

The crew did not always shoot on paved roads, but also shot scenes in the Gobi Desert.

One of the Dodge performance cars that was exported stalled several times in succession next to this bumpy road.

But the EVO has never had a stalling problem, which made Americans very curious and surprised.

After three or four months of getting along, everyone finally admitted that EVO is a good performance car.

But after the filming was over, only one of the three cars returned.

One of them was naturally bought by Peter Fonda, and the other was bought by the crew as a display car for the premiere.

Of course, all of this was agreed by Fang Hexuan.

The BYD technical team needs to help the buyers of the two cars understand the details of the car conditions before returning to Hong Kong.
