Zhang Zhonghua took a serious look at Motorola's current mobile phones, which are a bit interesting.
The size of this mobile phone is much smaller than that of the mobile phones during World War II, at least it no longer needs to be carried on the shoulder.
No, that thing you carry on your back should be called a walkie-talkie, not a mobile phone!
Motorola will produce the first mobile phone in 1973. The current technology in the field of mobile phones is too concentrated, and there are no relevant talents elsewhere. Currently, even Japan, which has the most advanced technology in East Asia, has difficulty finding some talents in this field.
Yuhuang Electric had to wait until the 1980s to enter the mobile phone field.
Some industries are not something you can enter just because you want to. If there is one more company and one more competitor, patent swaps will also have to be used.
Soon Zhang Zhonghua went through all the exhibition areas in the entire exhibition hall.
During the exhibition, Zhang Zhonghua saw a lot of rare things, and of course there were also a lot of popular things, which looked quite interesting.
A lot of deals were reached at the exhibition in the morning, and the amount of the transactions was close to 10 million US dollars. However, most of them were deals on Philips' latest 8-track tapes and blank recordable tapes. After all, they are popular products at this year's exhibition.
, and there are many industries where it can be applied.
After lunch, after a short rest, the exhibition became more lively, buyers also officially began to purchase goods, the exhibition's bulk transactions also officially began, and the showgirls at the exhibition also worked harder.
Just as the buyers and the people in charge of the exhibition area were quarreling with each other, the exhibition's radio began to broadcast:
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances and Carrefour Supermarket Company for reaching a cooperation and purchasing XXX cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances and Carrefour Supermarket for reaching a cooperation and purchasing XXX cash registers!"
"Congratulations……"
The loudspeaker in the venue broadcast the announcement three times in a row, causing quite a stir. Various purchasers calculated that the development purchase amount could reach more than three million US dollars.
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances and Homemart Convenience Store Company for reaching a cooperation and purchasing XXX cash registers!"
"Congratulations……"
Exhibitors who had not yet recovered from the last large transaction heard the announcement coming from the loudspeaker again.
Are you cheating a bit? Both Carrefour and convenience stores are companies under the Yuhuang Group like Yuhuang Electrical Appliances. Now they are being traded at the exhibition. Isn’t this cheating? Isn’t there a CFC soon?
Purchasing?
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances and CFC Catering Company for reaching a cooperation and purchasing XXX cash registers"
"Congratulations……"
Soon as expected, the radio sounded again, it was CFC's procurement radio.
Now Yuhuang Electrical Appliances can be said to be the leader in the CES exhibition, but everyone is helpless with this kind of saucy operation. Who knows that everyone is a family?
The purchasing manager from Tesco Supermarket who came to CES heard the announcement and walked towards the Yuhuang Electrical Appliances booth.
He was very curious about what kind of cash register was this really so powerful? It actually asked all the retail companies under the Yuhuang Group to replace their cash registers.
If the function of the cash register is really very powerful, it has to be purchased in advance. First, it must be used by its supermarkets, and then it can be sold externally.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I am George Swindin, the person in charge of Tesco America. I am very happy to meet you."
As soon as the person in charge of Tesco came to the Yuhuang Electrical Appliances exhibition area, he saw Zhang Zhonghua and said very politely.
"Hello, Mr. George Swinding, you are here for the cash register, so let me introduce this cash register to you."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile that all companies in the retail industry are customers of cash registers, and the market is very huge.
"Okay, please, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua."
"Mr. George Swindin, the new generation cash register developed by Yuhuang Electric has many more powerful functions than the previous cash register. The network performance of this cash register is more powerful. You can use it as a small computer.
The cash register can be connected to the supermarket's small server database, and all product information can be displayed through the cash register, making checkout more convenient and faster.
The new cash register not only has the previous network functions, but also can display the inventory quantity according to the sales quantity, which is very convenient for inventory counting.
The new radio also supports bank card swiping services and can also provide membership card services..."
Zhang Zhonghua introduced the cash register system in front of him in detail to George Swindin. Although it was limited by storage conditions, this cash register was already much more powerful than the previous one.
George Swindin secretly nodded. This cash register has indeed made great progress. The warehouse management system has also greatly restricted the development of supermarkets. Regular inventory counting in supermarkets is a very troublesome matter.
There are thousands of products in supermarkets. If the inventory problem is solved by the cash register, the operating cost of the supermarket can be reduced by at least 10%. It is really a product that makes a big leap forward.
"So, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, what is the configuration of the computer servers in each supermarket?"
asked George Swindin.
"All it takes is a small industrial machine. It doesn't take up a lot of storage space and the cost isn't very high either."
Zhang Zhonghua once again told George Swindin about the supermarket cashier system. He could not only sell cash registers, but also software, so he had two fishes.
Of course, the cashier system is also very simple. The database only sets product QR codes, categories, names, prices, manufacturers, inventory and other strings. It has been extremely simple.
The cash register is also quite simple, almost like a super-large calculator, but the cost of each one is also up to 250 US dollars, with the highest cost being chips and integrated circuits.
"If this cash register is used as a stand-alone machine, can it also be used in small stores, restaurants, clothing stores, etc.?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! George Swinding asked.
"Those small individual stores can be used independently. They only need to install an additional storage module to store product information directly into the cash register."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I wonder what the purchase price of this cash register is?"
George Swindin asked, there is no doubt that this is a very advanced cash register, the only problem is the price.
"Our recommended retail price for this is US$1,299. As an important partner of Yuhuang Electric, Tesco Supermarket, your purchase price is US$999."
The retail industry is so profitable at this time. You can earn more than three hundred dollars by selling one machine. After deducting taxes and fees, you can earn more than two hundred dollars with a cash register. And large retail companies don't care about cashiers at all.
The price of this machine.
Of course, the price of US$999 is a discount that only Tesco's partners can enjoy. Other buyers are basically around US$1,080.
Carrefour supermarkets, convenience stores, and CFC restaurants will only replace the latest products in those over-busy branches for the time being. If they all replace them, the US$1 billion may not be enough.
“When will this cash register be generally available?”
asked George Swindin.
"We have already produced the cash register in advance and will be on sale as soon as the exhibition is over."
George Swindin was helpless. Only Jade Emperor Electric Co., Ltd. was so willful. There was really no need to study the market for this product. If it couldn't be sold, it would be given to Carrefour, convenience stores and CFC.
"Then our Tesco supermarket plans to place an order for a thousand units first."
"Well Mr. George Swinding, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Zhang Zhonghua is also very satisfied. For completing orders at the CES exhibition, the exhibition company will also take a certain amount of money to use as a server. However, Zhang Zhonghua does not care about this. Building a reputation is the most important thing.
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances and Tesco Supermarket for reaching a cooperation and purchasing one thousand cash registers!"
Neil Mohan, the head of the Volkswagen Supermarket Company, was surprised when he heard the announcement in the exhibition hall. Is this cash register from Yuhuang Electric so good? Tesco Supermarket has also placed an order to purchase it?
interesting?
Neil Mohan gave instructions to the purchasing staff, and then walked towards the Yuhuang Electrical Appliances booth.
Not only Neil Mohan, but also the heads of other supermarkets such as Wal-Mart were also walking towards the Yuhuang Electrical Appliances booth. They had to hurry up and take a look. If it is a good product, hurry up and get it. Otherwise, if you are a few minutes late, you will not know what the product is.
It's time to get it.
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances for reaching a cooperation with XXX Supermarket and purchasing one thousand cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances for reaching a cooperation with XXX Supermarket and purchasing one thousand cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances for reaching a cooperation with XXX Supermarket and purchasing one thousand cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances for reaching a cooperation with XXX Supermarket and purchasing one thousand cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electrical Appliances and..."
Throughout the afternoon, the sound of broadcasts began to be heard from the CES exhibition. The heads of other electronic product manufacturers, such as HP, Panasonic, Sony, etc., were very envious.
They came to the exhibition hall of Yuhuang Electric one after another to see what kind of products Yuhuang Electric produced, which were so popular.
At the end of the first day of the exhibition, Yuhuang Electric became the brightest player in the audience. In the evening, all employees participating in the exhibition, including the showgirls, went to the largest seafood restaurant in Chicago to hold a celebration party. Their wages and bonuses were doubled, and every employee also
They are all smiling.
Taro Mishima was very happy while drinking red wine, and his admiration for the president could not be expressed in words. Moreover, there will be heavyweight products unveiled in the next two days. He believes that it will definitely cause an even bigger sensation by then!
The chip that the president commissioned Intel to research is very good. Nowadays, the function calculator produced by Yuhuang Electric is very popular in the market, and now there is a hot product like cash register.
Taro Mishima was very excited when he thought about the microprocessor chip used. This microprocessor can be used in almost all current household appliances, not only calculators, but also refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, microwave ovens, radios, and electric fans.
Both can be used, but the parts of application are different.
Taro Mishima felt that the future of Yuhuang Electric was unlimited, and it would only be a matter of time before it caught up with those super electronics giants.
…
Hewlett-Packard Company, David Packard looked at the transaction volume at today's exhibition and the names of purchase intention companies, and frowned. The calculator was originally HP's flagship product, but now the calculator market has been replaced by Yuhuang Electric.
"Boss, Yuhuang Electric's cash register is very powerful. We currently cannot produce it in a short time."
Julian Green to David Packard.
"What technical problems cannot be solved? How long will it take if we develop it ourselves?"
David Packard asked.
"Yuhuang Electric's cash register should still use the same microprocessor chip as the calculator. We have commissioned Fairchild to develop the chip, but I'm afraid it will take a long time."
Julian Green explains.
David Packard was extremely depressed. Fairchild Semiconductor is really amazing. A large number of outstanding employees left Fairchild to create their own companies, leaving Fairchild in a state of decline to this day. It’s really a success or failure.
.
The chips produced by Intel can only be supplied to Yuhuang Electric, because the ownership of the chips is also in the hands of Zhang Zhonghua. HP just wants to purchase them. Intel also has sufficient production capacity, but no, it cannot get the goods.
The market for these two products, calculators and cash registers, is also very large. By the time HP produces corresponding products, Yuhuang Electric may have completely occupied the market.
…
Canon Inc., America Division.
Okawa Eise was very depressed. Originally, the calculators produced by Yuhuang Electric completely defeated the calculators produced by Canon. Now at this exhibition, the cash register once again caused a huge impact on Canon. It is uncomfortable, so uncomfortable.
Okawa Eice now even wonders whether Yuhuang Electric will enter the subway security inspection and vending fields in the next step.
As far as he knows, Yuhuang Electric has begun to research printer technology, and has also convened to start research on camera branch technology. Although it has not explicitly planned to produce it, once the technology patents accumulate to a certain extent, even if Yuhuang Electric does not produce cameras, Canon will
It is impossible to avoid the technical patents of Yuhuang Electrical Appliances.
At present, in the global camera field, Okawa Eitsaku feels extremely proud. Only Kodak and Canon can compete in the world. Other companies are still far behind. But Yuhuang Electric, a company backed by the behemoth Yuhuang Group, he dare not underestimate.
watch for.
Once Zhang Zhonghua makes up his mind to enter the camera field, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Canon.
"President, Yuhuang Electric's cash register uses the same microprocessor chip as the calculator. The chips currently needed can only be produced by Intel, and the patent is in the hands of Yuhuang Group."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke said.
Okawa Eise felt quite helpless. America's giant company did not authorize the Japanese company, and could not enter the chip field without obtaining relevant patents. What's more, this excellent chip used in the cash register was in the hands of the Yuhuang Group.
It’s really uncomfortable to have someone’s neck stuck, it’s so uncomfortable!
