After finalizing the entire internationalization strategy, Su Yi only maintained contact with Liu Jun by phone, as he was now in Hong Kong. He and Mo Yuqing, along with Mo Jin'er, had come to Hong Kong. Accompanying him was a team led by a department manager from Lechang Network. The team's purpose in coming to Hong Kong was to discuss cooperation with ATV and TVB on the Lechang video-on-demand platform. Following the huge success of the collaboration on "Princess Pearl 3," the Lechang video-on-demand platform had attracted the attention of many film and television companies, and Hong Kong dramas had always had a strong market in mainland China. These two television stations hoped to promote their dramas to a global audience through cooperation with Lechang Network.

Hong Kong is China's window to the world, one of the most important free ports in Greater China, and a financial center in Asia. Su Yi and his two companions, like many tourists from the mainland, spent their days exploring this unique place. Victoria Harbour, the Avenue of Stars… besides these famous attractions, the many local snacks captivated the chubby-cheeked Jin'er. Even Mo Yuqing couldn't resist shopping like a little woman, and Su Yi also bought many things to take back to An Jing and Ji Feng.

The last stop was Ocean Park Hong Kong, which Mo Jin'er had been looking forward to for a long time. Ocean Park Hong Kong is one of the world's largest ocean parks, covering an area of ​​170 acres, and they spent a whole day there. When they saw the two giant pandas in the enclosure, Jin'er couldn't help but jump for joy, after all, Chinese people have always had a special affection for giant pandas.

Su Yi also took Jin'er to ride the roller coaster and drop tower there, especially the drop tower called "Extreme Journey," which was very thrilling. Mo Yuqing was already quite frightened when she saw the towering 60-meter-high pillar and refused to ride it. However, Jin'er was eager to try it, and in the end, Su Yi took her on it. Sure enough, it was very exciting.

After a week of enjoyable fun in Hong Kong, Lechang Network had already reached preliminary agreements with ATV and TVB to release the first batch of ten TV dramas on its video-on-demand platform as a trial collaboration. Half of these dramas were new productions from the last two years, two of which had never even aired in mainland China. The other half consisted of well-received classic dramas. After these dramas were made available on the platform, the two TV stations would receive 40% of Lechang's profits from these series, primarily from revenue generated from paid video subscriptions and advertising revenue from free videos.

Upon receiving this result, Su Yi also learned from headquarters that Lechang Network had reached similar agreements with several major domestic film and television groups, while several film and television groups in Japan and South Korea had also expressed great interest in such cooperation.

Su Yi and his group did not return directly to Yanjing from Hong Kong because Liu Jun conveyed an invitation from Sony. Sheng Tianchi, the general manager of Sony's game division, also invited Su Yi, the chairman of Dream International, to visit Sony's headquarters in Tokyo and hoped to discuss matters related to "The Evolution of History".

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yi took Mo Jin'er to Tokyo Disneyland. So, after finishing their trip to Hong Kong, Su Yi and Mo Yuqing boarded a flight to Tokyo.

"Evolution of the Prehistoric" was also a huge hit on the PS2 platform. Within a month of its release, it had already sold 70 copies in Japan alone and 150 million copies worldwide, setting a new record for PS2 games and making the PS2's advantage in the home game console market even more obvious. I wonder what Microsoft's expression will be after seeing this result.

Now, the equally hot sales of *Mechanical Civilization* have given Sony another opportunity. Coupled with the unprecedented success of *Evolution of History*, they certainly can't sit still. After all, Microsoft, this behemoth, won't stand idly by while Sony dominates the home console market. As for Nintendo, it's currently in its twilight years.

The plane landed at Tokyo International Airport, where Sony headquarters dispatched a special team to greet Su Yi and his entourage. Sony clearly attached great importance to the arrival of the chairman of Dream International, a figure of considerable influence in the IT industry, as evidenced by the number and status of the people who came to greet him. Led by Sony's vice president in charge of gaming and entertainment, the team received Su Yi and his party with the highest level of protocol.

Yoshino Aso, the vice president of Sony in charge of visual entertainment and gaming, was a slightly overweight middle-aged man who was about 1.7 meters tall. After welcoming Su Yi, a limousine sent by the company picked him up and took him to the presidential suite that they had booked for him in advance.

Although he didn't have a good impression of Japan, Su Yi had to admit that Tokyo was at the forefront of fashion in Asia, and the bustling scene attracted Jin'er, who was already a little tired, to look at it with wide eyes and curiosity.

The Japanese side first arranged for Su Yi and his team to rest for a day. On the evening of the day after tomorrow, a welcome reception will be held specifically for Su Yi. Almost all of Sony's top executives will be in attendance, which shows how much Sony values ​​Su Yi.

At this moment, Jin'er looked extremely tired. She went into a room in the presidential suite and lay down to sleep. The Sony staff explained the features of this five-star hotel to Su Yi and Mo Yuqing. The presidential suite even had a huge hot spring pool, the water piped directly from a natural hot spring; a romantic bath for the couple there would be incredibly relaxing…

At this point, the Japanese man noticed the change in Su Yi and Mo Yuqing's expressions. He heard Mo Yuqing whisper, "We're not husband and wife." The Japanese man, who had come to accompany them, naturally understood Chinese and quickly bowed to apologize. Su Yi also felt a little awkward. He thought of Mo Yuqing's allure when she was drunk that day, and looking at the huge hot spring pool, it really... was quite suggestive.

Su Yi noticed Mo Yuqing's unnatural demeanor and her tired expression, so he quickly dismissed the Japanese man and told Mo Yuqing to go and rest.

After the Japanese man left, he was still a little confused. The girl called Mr. Su "Dad" and the woman "Mom," and the woman said they weren't husband and wife. This... Chinese relationships are really strange...
