After dealing with the chaos in Hong Kong Island, Zhang Zhonghua set off from Hong Kong Island again and took a plane to Dongjin, Japan, to see the research and development progress of Yuhuang Electric in Japan.
"Mr. President, the global sales of the calculators we produce have reached 2.5 million units. Every time the products are sold out as soon as they enter the market."
Taro Mishima excitedly told Zhang Zhonghua that this calculator was just like the big bombs that dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Not only is it extremely powerful, but there is no other opponent in the world that can beat it. It is as if it is absolutely invincible.
"Mishima-kun, how much does your marketing department estimate the market demand for this calculator?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"President, we estimate that the global market demand is about 18 million to 20 million units. The current market price will last about a year and a half, and there will be a price reduction in early 1972.
The chip giants in America should have developed similar chips by the middle of next year. It will be almost the end of the year to establish a wafer factory and obtain our authorization. It is expected that by the beginning of 1973, a large number of similar calculators will appear.
This calculator will see a significant price cut."
Taro Mishima explained.
The profit earned by this calculator from its launch to the present is close to 700 million U.S. dollars. If it can achieve the sales volume mentioned by Taro Mishima, the entire profit can reach more than 4 billion U.S. dollars. Although it is a one-time gain, it is really
is a huge number.
"Yes, the calculator is also a product that has long-lasting prosperity and decline. Although the early profits will be slightly higher, the commercial field is basically separated from that product, so there is still a need to retreat on that project.
It’s about breaking off and retreating.”
Generally speaking, there are countless things to do, but I didn’t expect that there are any brands that Lu Wenqing has arranged for people to register.
Taro Yashima explained.
Toilet paper brands include Mojierou, Xinxiangyin, Kleenex, Cotton Era, baby diapers, wet wipes, baby bottles and other brands such as Wuhaoqi, Bad Boy, Xinxiangyin, Zichu and other brands;
As for the retail company Carrefour Supermarket, it is definitely a dominant player in Japan.
Moreover, the degree of mechanization of agriculture is currently low, resulting in low agricultural production efficiency and relatively low costs. It is too realistic to export a small amount of flour to produce instant noodles.
"President, that is your newly developed cash register. It has superior performance to cash registers on the market. The response speed is very slow. It can probably increase work efficiency by twice."
What makes Lu Wenqing feel most regretful is not that I have already made instant noodles but have not sold them to others.
The subsidiaries of Carrefour and Hort convenience stores have also grown closer to each other, and many slow-selling products in Chinese have been self-produced and sold.
Taro Yashima explained.
The main reason why instant noodles have not been produced is that there is not enough flour. If all the required flour is exported, the cost will be too low, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Amelia, who was the first to read all the information, did not expect that there would be so few companies under the banner of a retail company. They would only be consumer goods. If they were to retreat into various industries, they would probably become even smaller.
Especially in the field of laundry care, retail companies basically have no ability to produce all products in-house.
Amélie asked.
The IRS in Zhang Zhonghua's country is keeping an eye on these giant companies every day, and all kinds of agents and spies are infiltrating these giant companies. My company's profits are too low, and it's all gone.
For Taro Yashima of Yuhuang Electric Co., Ltd., those who are confident are rarely from Amélie's whimsical ideas, and are completely dimensionality reduction blows.
"The laser printer project has just been launched, and we are still recruiting talents in the optical field. Laser technology has not been around for 10 years, so it should be relatively difficult."
The brands of washing powder, laundry detergent, soap, dishwashing liquid and other products are not secret, Tide, Liby, Bilang and other brands;
Taro Yashima said.
The laser developed by Yuhuang Electric can also be used in other fields, and it will only be used in the fields of printers and copiers, not medical, electronics, etc.
In this field, the use of laser is also very extensive.
Sanitary napkins and panty pad brands include Sophie, Hushubao, Leerya, ABC and other brands;
The same is true for Zhang Zhonghua's Ameili Foundation. It is also a small pit. It is really not as difficult as imagined to evade taxes reasonably.
Moreover, most of the patents related to calculators are in the name of the Lu Wenqing Foundation on Hong Kong Island. Each calculator will also take away a lot of patent fees. Yuhuang Precision and Carrefour Supermarket also don’t make much profit. Ami
Li Ke will put the profits into a company.
Of course, Yuhuang Electric's investment in scientific research is also very small. This year alone, the investment in scientific research is close to US$600 million.
Among them, the output of hot summer ranks first in the world, accounting for about one-eighth of the world's total output.
It goes without saying that Yuhuang Electric has a small number of products and has retreated into various electrical appliance fields. Its overall strength cannot be ranked at the bottom in Japan.
All the unfamiliar Chinese brand names I had in the future were delayed by Ameili. Maybe she knew what names these brands would take when they retreated to Asia or the hot summer, which made Lu Wenqing very curious.
But in the future golden field of television, it ranks at the bottom. As for audio, camera and other fields, it is also a little behind other giant companies. But Amelia thought of the electronic watch that will be all the rage in the future. That is also
One is the wrong product, with high technical difficulty, high production costs, and wrong profit margins, so we cannot delay laying the foundation.
In addition to instant noodles, Carrefour Supermarket has also not retreated into the beverage field. Nowadays, beverages are mostly made of glass bottles, and PET plastic bottles have not yet come out.
The profit of just that one product has completely exceeded the profit of CFC Catering Company for a year. After all, it is making slow money, just like a business like CFC that can last for decades.
That would lead to the cost of the beverage being entirely in the glass bottle. Does Lu Wenqing have the production technology? And even if Ameili arranges people to develop new beverages, they can also use Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and directly get the equity of Coca-Cola, right?
Easier?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Head & Shoulders is headquartered in Hong Kong Island, Rejoice is headquartered in Japan, Lux is headquartered in Zhang Zhonghua, Sassoon is headquartered in France, etc., etc., the main focus is not a place all over the world
worldwide.
In Zhang Zhonghua's opinion, calculators of that era were simply not a money grab. The cost of calculators was much higher than that of minicomputers, computers, televisions, cars, etc., but the profit margin was far lower than those products.
The laser printer was also patented by Zhang Zhonghua's Xerox Company last year, and is expected to be put on the market next year. However, laser printers are much more expensive than computers, and they cannot be afforded by special companies.
"President, the development of the arcade machine has now been completed. The first generation will be launched in the form of buttons. At the same time, the joystick technology has not yet been basically broken. The joystick arcade machine will be regarded as the seventh generation product and is expected to be launched a few years ago."
Hort convenience stores have more than 10,000 stores in Japan. Thanks to its weak sales channels, it has 6,000 partner companies around the world, and most of them are rushing to cooperate.
California elementary schools are the smallest elementary school federation in the world and one of the most influential public elementary schools in the world. However, there are no more than 120 Nobel Prize winners in the school. If they were to unite, they would probably be inferior to other elementary schools in the world.
The local Yin Teng-Yokado is eager to take advantage of the competition. Without the trump card of 7-11, the development limit of Yin Teng-Yokado is destined to be very low.
For example, among the shampoo and shower gel brands, there are no unfamiliar names like Head & Shoulders, Rejoice, Lux, and Sassoon, and each of these brands has a few products.
The toothpaste and mouthwash brands owned by Carrefour Group do not include Zhonghua, Colgate, Crest, Baibai and other brands;
Amelia smiled and said to Taro Yashima.
Cold-sensitive printers are specially prepared for the retail industry, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, etc. In terms of market demand, they are actually smaller than calculators. Lu Wenqing remembers when they were put on the market, but the
Research still needs to be done.
By the way, how is the laser printer team now? Is there no achievements?"
Soap, cleansing soap, facial cleanser brands such as Lux, Safeguard, Dettol, Clinique and other brands;
Amili returned to her office in Yuhuang Xiaosha and basically went around various companies. She also basically understood the general situation. The development was still wrong.
If I wanted to build elementary schools around the world like California Elementary School, then the Amélie Foundation would not have a fixed donation every year, and I would have to worry about spending the money. It seems that this approach is really wrong.
Barley is one of the eight major grain crops in the world. There are not many countries in the world where barley is grown, but its production is mainly concentrated in seven countries: India, Russia, China, France, Canada and Argentina.
In my imagination, many products of Yuhuang Electric will be released next year. The revenue of Yuhuang Electric in 1971 will probably be astronomical. Since Yuhuang Electric currently has few products, it can bring a small amount of cash flow.
Although an offshore company has been established, it can still avoid taxes too much, otherwise it is impossible to appease the Japanese government. It is just a joke to talk about martial ethics.
Amelia couldn't help but reveal a sly smile when she saw the products on the Carrefour Group. They were all with unfamiliar names. Of course, those names were all chosen by Amelia herself.
The eighth-generation cashier system will not be available until the 1940s at most. The current storage conditions are basically impossible to support the picture function. Let's develop quickly with the times.
At the same time, it will continue to increase every year in the future. Even if the money is spent in Ekou, Luwen Electric will still have to pay a lot of taxes.
Ameili returned to the Yuhuang Building in Marunouchi before inspecting Yuhuang Electric.
All stores are conveniently located in important locations in various cities, which directly reduces the opening costs of other convenience stores slightly, and also blocks the rise of other convenience stores in disguise, unless there is no small capital for other convenience stores.
It's a cost-based investment, a back-and-forth struggle.
"President, the inkjet printer he mentioned is also under development. Because it requires computer technology, the research and development difficulty is relatively small. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve results in a short period of time."
It seems that it is difficult to recruit primary school professors. They have too little foundation and no background. Alas, spend money. Lu Wenqing has also been bad in the past few years. He should be more junior.
"President, the cold-sensitive printer he arranged to develop is still under development. A small number of key technologies have not yet been broken through. It is expected to be successfully developed in the middle of next year."
Amelia thought of California Elementary School. California Elementary School is a super elementary school with ten campuses, including Berkeley, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, Irvine, Davis, and Santa Cruz.
, Riverside and Merced.
But Amelia thought about it and decided to forget it. I was afraid that I would die by eating alone.
Amélie said.
Ameili was quite satisfied with Taro Yashima's introduction. Nowadays, the price of computers is too low, otherwise you can also use credit cards to make purchases, and cash registers are also limited to version 2.5.
"It's related. That inkjet printer can't be developed quickly. It must be because the current dot matrix printers are too backward and efficient. You also want to speed up the research on printer technology.
Australia's purely natural barley cultivation model coupled with sufficient sunlight has made Australia recognized as a gold barley-producing area in the world. Barley is one of the lowest quality barley in the world, and it is also the one that all countries compete for.
The object of withdrawal, so it is not a restriction to find for yourself when making instant noodles.
"Just increase investment in research and development. How are the preparations for the International Consumer Electronics Show? In April next year, it will attract 275 companies from around the world to participate in the exhibition."
Elementary school can cultivate countless talents, and the scientific research results of the school are also very attractive. The scientific research results are transformed into actual products. There is a steady stream of products. It is very exciting to think about it.
Facial masks, skin care products, makeup, creams and other brands include Estee Lauder, Chanel, Shiseido, Guerlain and other brands;
And in Amelia's memory, although people in Europe and the United States do not eat instant noodles like other regions, it seems that only Chinese, Japanese and Korean people love it most and are the main consumption target.
Although Yuhuang Electric has lost its cash cow of calculators, its profitability is very weak.
Amélie
Looking at the long list, I let out a sigh of relief. Domestic brands have to have Chinese names that sound bad, and products under the Carrefour banner have to have English names.
"What's more, TV games will be released a year later than arcades, and TVs will also be given priority in supplying arcades."
Although Australia is vast and sparsely populated, it has a very good agricultural development environment. Barley production now accounts for 2% of the world's production.
The calculators of Yuhuang Electric also attacked HP, Philips, Sharp, Toshiba and other companies. The cash cows also wanted to use them. When the giants withdrew, the chips were so low that they became as cheap as cabbage, and the calculator's dividends were also reduced.
The difference is that there is less digging in half.
"Next year's CES will be moved from New York to Chicago. Your location and venue are also quite wrong. You will bring calculators, cash registers, arcade machines, pre-retired audio and video recorders and other products to the exhibition. I doubt you will.
