Michael Gary Stevens sat blankly in his company's exhibition area, listening to the exhibition broadcasts that kept ringing in the exhibition hall.
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances for reaching a cooperation with XXX Supermarket and purchasing XXX cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric Appliances for reaching a cooperation with XXX Supermarket and purchasing XXX cash registers!"
The constant broadcasts about Yuhuang Electrical Appliances' transactions made his mind buzz. At the same time, he was extremely envious of Yuhuang Electrical Appliances. It would be great if his own products could have such a large transaction volume!
But when he thought about the Yuhuang Electric products he had seen, he let out a long sigh, they were incomparable.
The market for calculators is huge. Although the market for cash registers is smaller than that of calculators, it is still a huge market. It can be used in supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, bookstores and other shops.
.
The application range of cash registers can cover almost all industries with relatively large flow of people. For calculations in smaller stores, calculators can also be used instead.
When it comes to calculators and cash registers, Yuhuang Electric is unparalleled and can crush all products in the world.
Michael Gary Stevens thought about the huge market for calculators and cash registers, and then thought about the gap between his company's products and Yuhuang Electric's products, and sighed again.
If you launch your own product one day late, you will lose a share of the market. But who would use a bad product if it is good?
"Robert, it's been more than half a year. How is the progress in the chip department? Can you come up with comparable chip products?"
Michael Gary Stevens asked assistant Robert Mathias.
"It will be difficult in a short time. The chip department said it may take another year. It will be very troublesome to bypass Intel's patent barriers.
If we want to reach a certain level, the chip department will have to use a very complex architecture to realize our functions, but this will cause the cost to soar."
Robert Mathias felt very sad. If he just made it directly regardless of the patent, he could quickly develop it and start production. But how could he ignore the patent? The consequences of patent infringement in America would be huge.
"You go and inform the headquarters and ask them to continue to increase research and development. Don't care about the investment. That insignificant investment is nothing compared to the huge market."
Michael Gary Stevens said.
…
Tadao Kashio looked at the calculator in his hand and was so angry that he wanted to crush it. Now that he has recovered from the shock of Yuhuang Electric's calculator, Yuhuang Electric has now produced a cash register.
His Casio launched the world's first small electric calculator in 1957. In 1967, Casio's calculator entered the global market, bringing huge profits to Casio.
However, since Yuhuang Electric launched the function calculator, Casio's market share has been continuously compressed.
Calculator manufacturers around the world know the internal structure of Yuhuang Electric calculators, and they also know that they use Intel's 4004 microprocessor.
But this 4004 microprocessor has blocked all manufacturers. If the chip is not good, there is nothing we can do. Although we can develop more powerful cash registers, the cost is too high and it is difficult to gain market share.
As for letting these enter into a price war with Yuhuang Electrical Appliances? Yuhuang Group will let you know that the Yuhuang Group, which has three cash cows, CFC, Carrefour and convenience stores, with continuous blood supply, can fight to death for you!
The cash reserves of the Jade Emperor Group are incomparable to those ancient families that control the entire Europe and America behind the scenes, but they must not be underestimated!
"This year we launched the world's first inkjet printer. How has the market responded?"
Kashio Tadao asked.
"Our inkjet printers are many times better than other printers, and customer feedback is also very good. However, some customers think the printers are too expensive."
Watanabe Ichiro said with some anxiety.
"New products will definitely be more expensive. After all, we have invested a lot in research and development. I believe that our printers will replace other printers on the market sooner or later."
Tadao Kashio said with a smile.
Tadao Kashio was extremely confident on the surface, but in fact he was very bitter in his heart. He never expected that Yuhuang Electric's research scope was so wide, and that it had already begun to study inkjet printer technology.
This Casio inkjet printer also uses three patents of Yuhuang Electric. What he doesn’t know is that Zhang Zhonghua’s consistent principle is that even if I don’t produce a product, I will research the patents of so-called future mainstream products. In his previous life, he
Too many people have seen the motherland being stuck on patents.
He is determined to choke everyone, which must be difficult, but he wants to make all profitable industries unable to bypass him!
As for the research funding invested? Millions or even tens of millions of dollars a year are not as much as charitable donations, so that’s nothing!
The first day of the exhibition passed quickly. Countless people poured into the CES exhibition hall again on the second day, and all the showgirls in the exhibition hall became even more enthusiastic.
Ines Eswaren, who came from the Lone Star State after a long journey, arrived in front of the exhibition hall early. Then he looked at the sea of tourists in front of him and was shocked beyond words.
Aines Eswaren took over the farm and bar from his father a few years ago. After years of hard work, his bar has grown rapidly and now has more than twenty bars.
, it can be considered that the family industry has developed and expanded.
Unfortunately, with the plummeting stock market, the bar's business has also plummeted, and it has already started to suffer losses at the beginning of the year.
If you continue like this without trying to change it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Ines Eswaren followed the advice given by his wife and traveled all the way to CES in Chicago. He hoped to find some good products from this year's electronics show.
Then use these novel products to attract some customers to the bar and restore the decline of the bar.
"Congratulations to Philips and Carrefour Supermarket for reaching a cooperation to purchase blank tape XXX!"
"Congratulations to Philips for reaching a cooperation with Public Supermarket, and the purchase of blank tapes has reached XXX!"
"Congratulations to Sony and..."
Anes Eswaren, who had just entered the exhibition hall, was shocked by the lively scene in the exhibition hall and the huge transaction volume on the radio. He even had the idea of changing his career, but this idea was soon overturned by him.
Killed, he knows very well what kind of material he is!
However, this CES exhibition is really popular. I hope I can purchase the products I like.
Aines Eswaren sighed in his heart as he walked and looked at it!
Soon he came to Sony's showroom. He felt that Sony's video recorder was quite good and suitable for home use. There was no need for this thing in bars. He could buy one and use it for himself!
After leaving Sony's exhibition area, he went to Panasonic's exhibition hall. He felt helpless when he saw such a small TV. What is this?
He doesn't have access to this equipment in his own farm and bar, so he might as well buy a set of projection equipment for a cinema!
Philips' breeding tape is indeed good, but it's a pity that the Lone Star Cowboys prefer to play with guns, horses, and women, and are not very interested in this stuff.
After spinning around for a few times, Enes Eswaren was very disappointed. This was not good, there was nothing new and attractive.
Ines Eswaren walked out of the Philips exhibition hall disappointed, then came to the RCA company and began to wander around the exhibition hall.
…
At this time, Zhang Zhonghua was receiving a person from Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a dear friend Zhang Zhonghua met at the casino, Abdul Hussein Alhazred!
Abdul Hussein Alhazred liked the arcade machine in front of him very much. If this thing were put in nightclubs and casinos, it would be very popular with customers. It only takes a few minutes to consume three coins.
It may not seem like much, but over time it will be a very huge income. This is really a cute little monster.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, is this the only game in this kind of arcade?"
Abdul Hussein Alhazred asked.
"Yes, there is only one at the moment. The current storage conditions are limited and complex games cannot be developed, but other games of the same type are currently being developed!"
Zhang Zhonghua explained to a good friend.
"So can the difficulty of this game be adjusted?"
Abdul continued to ask Zhang Zhonghua.
"Of course you can. The arcade has two modes: simple and normal. Our game console can be used in bars, supermarkets, convenience stores, gas stations and many other places!"
Zhang Zhonghua briefly introduced the arcade machine, and then he started operating it. His extremely smooth movements shocked his good friend Abdul.
Abdul was dumbfounded when he saw Zhang Zhonghua's gorgeous operation. Why did I fail in just tens of seconds? This Zhonghua is so good at playing games. Is this how the world is different?
But when he thought that the arcade machine Zhang Zhonghua said could be used in bars, supermarkets, convenience stores, gas stations, nightclubs, casinos and other places, Abdul became even more excited. This thing can earn dozens of dollars a day at least.
, this game console really looks better and better the more you look at it!
"So, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, how do you purchase this game console?"
Abdul asked excitedly.
"My good friend, Yuhuang Game Company is currently looking for cooperative companies in the states of America. If purchased individually, the starting price is 100 units, and the price is two thousand US dollars per unit!"
When Zhang Zhonghua said the price, he was actually a little unsure. This was the price given by the sales department. The production cost of this kind of arcade machine is around five hundred US dollars, which is really not high!
Of course, a cheap computer now costs eight to nine thousand US dollars. The arcade machines of Yuhuang Games are relatively cheap. The most important thing is that the arcade machines are the only one in the world and no one knows how much water there is in them.
Even if we can figure out the production costs with some effort, what about the R&D costs? No one can tell!
"Dear Zhang, what are the requirements to become a state partner?"
Abdul Hussein Alhazred has this idea. One unit costs two thousand dollars, and he can earn dozens of dollars a day. If everything goes well, he will be able to recover his capital in more than two months at most. This is a good business!
"The situation in each state in America is different, and there will be separate agent bidding meetings later!"
"That's it, what about the payment method?"
"Pay a 30% deposit in advance, 20% before shipment, 25% after receipt, and the balance after three months.
Yuhuang Game Company will inspect its cooperative agents every three years, and now there is no need to pay a deposit."
Zhang Zhonghua introduced in detail to his good friend Abdul that as a new thing, arcade machines, the most important thing at present is to open up the market first.
The current game modifications in arcades are too simple, and there is only one game. We cannot ask our partner companies to purchase tens of thousands of units. We must first build our reputation.
Zhang Zhonghua predicts that in a few years, orders will start at 10,000 units. This is still a relatively backward period. States with developed economies basically start at tens of thousands of units.
Abdul Hussein Alhazred was very excited when he heard Zhang Zhonghua's introduction. If he purchased 1,000 units, it would only cost US$2 million. For him, it was just a waste of money.
Abdul Hussein Alhazred thought that if he could capture the California market and become a first-level agent, he would make as much money as opening nightclubs and casinos in the future.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, when will this arcade game be shipped? I can't wait to buy some!"
Abdul Hussein Alhazred asked Zhang Zhonghua.
"My good friend, some arcade machines have now arrived in Angel City and New York. As long as you place an order, they will be shipped immediately after the exhibition."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
Abdul Hussein Alhazred was stunned when he heard Zhang Zhonghua's words. The speed was really too fast. Jade Emperor Game Company didn't look like they were here for an exhibition, but more like they were here to sell goods. It seemed like they were here to sell goods.
My good friend Zhang is very confident in his products.
In order to receive the goods one day earlier and to make money one day earlier, Abdul Hussein Alhazred felt that he could not wait any longer.
"Zhang. Does this arcade have agents in New York, California, and Illinois?"
At this time, a voice came from the side, which made Abdul Hussein Alhazred feel nervous!
He turned around and saw that a middle-aged man with obvious Jewish features was asking the staff, damn Raphael, these vampires are indispensable everywhere.
Abdul looked around and found that many people were already playing arcade machines. They seemed to be having a lot of fun, so he decided to strike first.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I want to purchase 1,000 arcade machines first, and I also want to sign up for agents in California and Nevada!"
Abdul Hussein Alhazred said to Zhang Zhonghua impatiently.
"No problem, dear Dosty, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Zhang Zhonghua smiled and shook hands with his Arab good friend Abdul Hussein Alhazred. You are indeed our good friend. You know technology.
