2773 [Gambler vs. Las Vegas]
In comparison, even if broadband is free and communication is free, you can actually make money elsewhere in summer. For example, advertising costs.
Many of Xiatian’s websites are very popular in Hong Kong, such as Kuaike Chat, Lightning Email, Yueyin Online Media, etc.
These websites have a lot of visits in Hong Kong, which has attracted many advertisers to place advertisements. The more clicks on ads, the more money they make in summer.
So he can provide users with broadband and communication services at a price lower than the cost, and make money through advertising services, subscription services, additional services, etc.
This business model is similar to the "Big King Card" launched by Tencent. Many apps under Tencent can be used without traffic, such as Weixin, QQ, Tencent Video, QQ Music, etc.
Although it is free of traffic and saves money from buying traffic. But it has to be said that the money spent on playing these apps, games, listening to music is even much higher than the traffic money.
Because summer can also provide services like Tengxun, he launches lower-cost broadband and mobile communications, which can also make money back. Leave small money to make big money, give up immediate benefits, and look at long-term interests.
But Li Jiacheng and other telecommunications companies do not have this advantage. They even don’t know how this business model works, so they are destined to be unable to compete with Xia Tian. Even like Xia Tian, they will burn money to grab customers at lower cost, and they will not last long.

What is expanding with Tianxia Telecom is Hong Kong's "Cyberport" plan.
Cyberport is still under construction and is expected to be officially completed in the first half of next year.
The completion of Cyberport is just the beginning. To build a digital city well and make Hong Kong a Oriental Silicon Valley, it also requires vigorous investment promotion, talent introduction, incubation projects, and support entrepreneurship.
Xia Tian believes that Hong Kong has the advantages of developing the game industry, software outsourcing, international customer service and cloud computing services, and all of this requires the support of the telecommunications industry. Only fast and stable broadband services can ensure the stable and healthy development of the above industries.
Summer hopes that the day when Cyberport is completed is the time when World Telecom unifies the Hong Kong Telecom market.

After the company read the performance report, Xia Tian went to the Hong Kong government to visit some officials.
On July 1st, the mainland also attaches great importance to the anniversary of Hong Kong's return. Many leaders rushed over to participate and will personally preside over the opening of Chijiao International Airport. It can be said that it is very respectful.
The director is here. As a Hong Konger, Xia Tian, as a half-host, naturally has to visit him and talk about the future development of Hong Kong.
Although the headquarters of the Tianxia Group has moved to the mainland, its influence in Hong Kong has increased instead of decreasing. Tianxia Real Estate, Tianxia Energy, Tianxia Electricity, Tianxia Telecommunications, Tianxia Media, Tianxia Finance... all occupy a very high position in Hong Kong and controls the economic lifeline of Hong Kong.
Especially after Hong Kong's return, the economic development trend was almost always carried out under the guidance of summer. This made his position in Hong Kong more important. Therefore, the development strategies he proposed naturally also attached great importance to. Any economic strategy of the Hong Kong government, without the support of the World Group, is difficult to advance.
Therefore, Hong Kong's development cannot be separated from summer and the World Group. This naturally brings summer and a lot of benefits to the World Group.
Not to mention anything else, just Cyberport alone, he received a piece of land worth HK$7.6 billion in summer. If it is developed and utilized well, it will bring him an income of HK$60 billion.
Similar business opportunities will increase in the future. At that time, the influence in Hong Kong will become greater and greater in summer, and naturally the money you earn will become more and more.

After a long and thirteen years of hard work, Xia Tian was about to go back to the hotel to rest when he received a call from Wang Jing.
"Hey, Director Wang, why do you remember to call me?" Xia Tian said in surprise after receiving the call from Wang Jing.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Jing will not call him. If there is a movie project that he can do, he can make the decision by himself.
Wang Jing is now one of the senior producers of Tianxia Entertainment, and can decide projects that can reach up to 50 million Hong Kong dollars by himself. Generally speaking, the cost of a general Hong Kong film is high for up to 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars. Unless he takes the international blockbuster route like Cheng Long, the cost can reach more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
Bu Chenglong is an international superstar, and he doesn’t have to worry about selling his films. In addition to Hong Kong, Fusang, South Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe, America, and even Africa’s film merchants are willing to buy his films, so they can recover their costs even if they invest over 100 million yuan.
There are not many people in Hong Kong who have such a terrifying box office appeal like Cheng Long. Therefore, in this way, the cost of filming must be controlled as much as possible. It is no decimal to be able to earn 50 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Mr. Xia, I have a drama that I want to invite Miss Wang Xian to star in, so I want to ask for your opinion first." Wang Jing said with a smile.
"Forget it, she is doing a good job as a teacher in school now and has no intention of making a comeback to film. Moreover, my son cannot do without her care, so let's just forget about filming." Xia Tian immediately rejected it when he heard it, and he didn't even want to know the name of the movie.
The film projects recommended by Wang Jing are usually commercial films. But with Wang Xian’s current identity, there is no need to make commercial films. Unless it is a top-level art film that can win awards, she has the value of making a comeback.
"Yes, that's disturbing, Mr. Xia, I'm so sorry." Seeing Xia Tian's refusal so neatly, Wang Jing didn't dare to continue to entangle, and said quickly.
"Okay, it's okay, I didn't blame you. But if you help me pass on the message, if you have another film appointment in the future, unless it is a high-quality art film, don't disturb you again." Xia Tian instructed Wang Jing.
"Yes, Mr. Xia." Wang Jing quickly agreed, "By the way, Mr. Xia, I still have a movie project to film in the beauty. The cost may be higher. I hope you can get your approval."
"What movie?" Xia Tian asked curiously when he heard this.
"The name is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes vs. Las Vegas." Wang Jing said quickly, "Because you have to film in Midea, Nevada Desert and other places, the cost is relatively higher."
Xia Tian nodded when he heard this, "Okay, you can add more costs as appropriate. In addition, I will ask the American company to cooperate with you in the shooting."
"Yes, thank you Mr. Xia." Wang Jing said happily when he heard this.
"By the way, who is the protagonist planning to play?" Xia Tian asked curiously again.
