In 1972, in an attic in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong, Lin Yu, who in his previous life was in charge of a trillion-dollar technology empire, was unexpectedly reborn as a penniless odd-job worker in an electronics factory. With the business memory of 2030, he grabbed only three yuan and eighty cents and knocked out the first arcade machine from a pile of electronic waste. He ignited the counterattack under the name "Yuxiang Electronics".
From the craze of "fighting monsters in space" in Hong Kong game arcades to the arcade price war in Akihabara, Tokyo, he seized the Japanese and American markets with advanced designs and accumulated the first pot of gold. Knowing well that "talent is the foundation", he traveled to Silicon Valley to poach Steve Jobs, Engelbart, and recruited technical geniuses such as Chen Yu and Zhang Lei to crack the hard nut of chip research and development and break the foreign technology monopoly.
Industrial on the left, finance on the right. He took advantage of the global economic crisis to bargain for Hutchison Whampoa and Hong Kong Electric at the bottom of the stock market, sniped at oil and foreign exchange in the futures market, and built a capital moat with "reverse investment". When the capital was strong enough, he gradually acquired the equity of Hong Kong Telephone and HSBC, bringing Hong Kong's energy, communications, and financial lifelines under his control, making the "Pearl of the Orient" the core of his business map.
Not limited to Hong Kong, he has set his sights on the world: in his early years, he bet on Apple and Microsoft, supported Amazon and Google, controlled ARM and Qualcomm, and seized the opportunity in the technology wave; acquired Nokia, deployed semiconductors, entered automobiles, retail, and medicine, and built a full industry chain empire; after the reform and opening up in the mainland, he invested heavily in Tencent, Alibaba, and BYD, witnessing and promoting the rise of China's technology.
