Chapter 549 Yellow Diamond...

Technological development is changing with each passing day.

The computer brought by Chu Jun and the others used many newly launched products, and the materials seemed very solid.

In terms of user experience, it was slightly more comfortable than the computer bought last year in the study upstairs, and the operation seemed relatively smooth.

Su Yehao asked Xiao Nizi to go upstairs and help bring the *Half-Life* game disc produced by Valve Corporation.

After installing it through the optical drive and doing a simple test, he found that there were basically no problems, except that the cooling fan was buzzing.

The processor's performance was poor, and the heat generated was high enough to warm hands. The noise from the cooling was a common problem, and other computers were like this when playing games.

The assembled product was pretty good.

This was thanks to Nvidia's display chip, Intel's Pentium new processor, Microsoft's operating system, Hua Shuo's motherboard... and so on.

The parts were all bought, and there was nothing particularly to be proud of.

On the other hand, the *Half-Life* game itself has sold millions of copies since it was released last year.

In the second half of last year, Su Yehao casually invested in Valve Corporation, mainly because he was optimistic about their development of first-person shooter games, which seemed promising.

He never expected...

As soon as this company's product was launched, before Su Yehao could even help, it had already become popular all over the world, becoming one of the most popular games in the first half of this year.

After trying out the game, he found that Chu Jun and Mr. Ni's two students were staring at him expectantly.

Su Yehao felt that he should praise them a few words, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to say, so he simply said:

"Not bad... The dark gray main unit shell looks relatively atmospheric, and the lines on it are also very tough. If there are no problems, let's produce the flagship machine according to this. We can also open a few internet cafes to test it first."

"As expected of a big boss, your brain turns faster than others! I also mentioned before opening a few internet cafes in Sijiu City to attract people to test these computers online. Not only do we not have to pay people to do it, but we can also earn some money during the testing period. It's a win-win situation."

Chu Jun said with a smile.

Seeing that the serious matter was almost settled, he was in the mood to praise the surrounding scenery.

"Cheap is cheap, but quality and low price are the right way. The entry-level cheap computer I just mentioned should be named the Education Edition Computer. The focus should be on telling parents that it cannot play large-scale online games, but mainly for learning to surf the Internet and use office products. Maybe this can also be a highlight."

Su Yehao's legs were numb from sitting cross-legged, so he supported himself on the sofa to stand up, and then said:

"The income in the mainland is low now, but the price of computers can't be lowered. This situation should improve within a few years as suppliers release production capacity. When that time comes, it will be the explosion period for mainland netizens. Since lowering prices will affect other people's interests, it is inevitable that we will be targeted. I think President Chu, your skin isn't thin, so you happen to be suitable to stand up and take the heat. When the time comes, the task of publicity and marketing will require a lot of your effort. I will guide netizens to stand up and support you, and the funds will be sufficient..."

"...You even saw through my secret of having thick skin?"

Chu Jun jokingly finished speaking, and stated:

"In business, how can you not offend people? Mr. Ni's previous company currently has a market value of more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and making money is easier than printing money. The shareholders are comfortable, but it limits the speed of internet popularization. As the second largest shareholder of Yinhai Network Group, and also receiving wages from the Gen Plan, it is only right and reasonable for me to shoulder the burden."

At this time, a young man in his twenties named Zhang next to him nervously interjected and said, "Um... President Su, once the assembly line and parts are in place and production officially begins, the product must have a name, right? The current Gen Plan can't be printed on the case, and it's not conducive to promoting the product."

He was obviously seven or eight years older than Su Yehao, but he seemed restrained.

There was no way around it. The thought of the young Master Su from Hong Kong City, who was worth nearly ten billion US dollars, brought an invisible sense of oppression.

For example, this house under his feet was worth more than the market value of countless listed companies, and it was shockingly luxurious.

Hearing this.

Su Yehao nodded and said:

"Indeed, the code name Gen Plan is too unpleasant. I just established a Green Diamond Real Estate company a few days ago. Why don't... we call the computer company Yellow Diamond? It's best to design a logo on the case. If it can glow, that would be even better. Gaming computers must be cool."

"...Yellow Diamond, a good name! I've heard of your Green Diamond Group. I saw in the newspaper that you invested more than 20 billion to buy land, and it almost scared me to death. You invested in a mainland's richest man just like that."

Chu Jun flattered him in a serious and natural way, without any affectation.

……

After having people take the computer to the study, Su Yehao personally took Chu Jun and others for a walk in the garden.

In Hong Kong City in May, the weather was already very hot.

The yard contained a park with a lake, and a small castle on the hillside. Mr. Ni's two students thought that this trip was really worth it, and they finally knew what kind of life rich people lived.

When they entered the small castle, the temperature suddenly dropped.

After leading them to see the balloon dog sculpture, chicken cup, and Van Gogh paintings, Su Yehao increasingly felt that his collection was too small. There were only a few items, and the guests were gone after a couple of glances. It wasn't enjoyable at all.

In fact.

A Van Gogh painting, *Wheatfield under Thunderclouds*, worth forty million US dollars, was enough to shock the three people, including Chu Jun.

They might not be able to say what was so good about this painting.

But because it was worth forty million US dollars, it must be amazing.

At noon, they ate and drank some wine, using dragon grouper as the main course, plus several famous dishes, including fish maw chicken soup and soft-boiled abalone.

During the meal, they continued to talk about the future development plan of Yellow Diamond computers.

After the meal.

Su Yehao arranged three rooms for them in the Harbour Plaza Metropolitan Hotel, letting them rest first. They could contact the assistant's office for help if they needed anything.

They had seen what they needed to see, and they had discussed almost everything they needed to discuss.

Chu Jun was not in a hurry to return to Sijiu City. He had come all this way, and his wife had given him a shopping list. There were many things to buy, and they planned to stay for a few more days.

——————————————————

After finally finishing the Cyberport business.

Su Yehao originally planned to take a few days to go to Tokyo to see Nong Qingying, to have an in-depth and simple chat.

On the evening of the same day that Chu Jun arrived, he received another temporary notification that someone from Pengcheng had invited him to dinner.

According to the middleman, President Peng of the Bank of China, this was probably because the landing speed of the Cyberport was too fast, and it made some people worry that the Qianxinzhicheng (Thousand-Core City) project they were discussing would be dropped.

After all, it involved an investment project starting at 10 billion RMB, and even though Pengcheng was becoming increasingly wealthy, it still attached great importance to this matter.

Therefore, there was the scene of President Peng of the Bank of China extending an olive branch on their behalf.

At first.

Su Yehao didn't really want to go out, but then he realized that this seemed like a perfect opportunity to go out, and he could just bring Nong Qingying to Pengcheng for a gathering.

So he called President Peng back and made an appointment for dinner the next night...
