In this way, the Snake game suddenly became popular in the local area at an incredible speed.
Spreading from Great Britain to the entire European continent, and then from the European continent to the Bald Eagle Continent, the entire European and American region has almost fallen.
There are many reasons for this, one of which is that the stores near PHS stores are not so easy to rent.
Second, in a short period of time, there is only one game machine in each game arcade, and there are too many people. What can we do?
The direct operation method is naturally not advisable, but it is also one of the ways to recover costs.
Zhou Jimin just provided a possibility.
In the small town of Liuer, Zhou Jimin had already placed the chip order and asked Wu Zhiheng to speed up the production of chips. He would pick it up every two days.
In a game factory in a small southern town, there are ten production lines and thousands of workers busy non-stop.
The orders haven't been placed yet, but a hot scene has already been created. A market in short supply has emerged, and we are just waiting for game consoles to rescue these suffering people.
This world is too lacking in games.
Different from entertainment such as concerts and ball games, in the game world, people can freely control the characters in the game.
This kind of entertainment that manipulates life and takes control of the situation is too over the top.
Moreover, you can keep playing until you get tired of it.
Concerts and football games are different. You can only watch them once. If you watch them repeatedly, you will get bored.
Their freshness can only last once or twice, not for a long time.
The game can basically last for one or two years, or even longer.
"Boss, there are urgent orders coming from Bald Eagle, Europe and other places, and bar owners, investors, etc. also came to the store, asking to purchase game consoles and inquire about prices..."
"Boss, how much should we price?"
As the market boomed, various news spread.
Zhou Jimin, who was sitting in the Xiaodao office, looked at the people in the advisory group, buttoned his desk, and said softly:
"The price of the game console is set at 3,699 US dollars per unit. Those agents, bar owners and the like can give priority to supply..."
"Game experience hall, continue to provide relevant services, this will be one of our channels to promote games in the future..."
"However, the game experience halls need to be reorganized. You need to do market research to see how many experience halls should be set up in each country, how to operate them, costs, profit models, etc. I need a detailed plan.
..."
The game experience hall is not just for experiencing games. Once it is well run, it can also sell game peripherals. For example, with this Snake game, you can make cute snake pillows.
After all, the little snake in the game console is not cruel, but very cute.
Or other peripherals such as small dolls. In short, the game experience hall has its existence.
Publicity channels are very important and should never be left to others.
No matter what kind of product it is, if there is no publicity, it will be ignored.
What kind of wine is not afraid of deep alleys?
In this era, if you want to make a lot of money, you must practice a saying: Be famous as early as possible!
The members of the advisory group have no objections. They only have deep admiration for the boss.
When Zhou Jimin first proposed the game console, the members of the advisory group were skeptical.
But what now?
The popularity of the market has proved Zhou Jimin's business vision.
"Can costs be reduced further?"
Upon hearing Zhou Jimin's inquiry, Xiao Yi, deputy head of the advisory group, quickly said: "Boss, the current cost is one thousand U.S. dollars, but as workers' skills improve and losses decrease... the cost can probably be reduced to
More than nine hundred dollars like this..."
Zhou Jimin nodded when he heard this and said:
"Okay, pay attention to the management of the factory, let workers get adequate rest, pay overtime for overtime work, and don't squeeze workers..."
"Let's put aside other things first. Next is a new game, Magic Cube..."
Game consoles need to innovate in order to be sought after by the market and not be abandoned by the market.
Such a profitable industry will definitely attract a large amount of capital, so Zhou Jimin must keep his game console in an invincible position.
After handling these business matters, Zhou Jimin returned to the mountaintop villa.
At home, after Zhou Qingyue and the others saw their father coming back, they couldn't wait to ask, how much money did they make?
Since the time of game consoles is strictly controlled, they can only divert their attention.
By reading the newspaper, they knew that game consoles were very popular in other places, so they also wanted to know more information.
"How can we immediately know how much money we make?" Zhou Jimin laughed and said:
"Have you done your homework today? Come on, let me check!"
When Zhou Qingyue and the others mentioned their homework, they immediately ran away in a swarm.
There are still quite a lot of homework every day, which are all hobbies chosen by each of them, such as guitar, piano, dancing, etc.
In other words, in addition to the classroom assignments that must be completed, there are also these extracurricular interest assignments.
I even read books on history, ancient Chinese, etc.
In short, the schedule is very full, and there will be entertainment time, but not a lot.
Of course, there will still be enough requirements during rest time, just to let them develop the habit of self-discipline.
In the evening, Zhou Jimin left the island and headed straight to the Bald Eagle Continent.
Big Apple City, New York, PHS New York Headquarters Office.
A seminar on PHS mobile phones officially started.
Previously, Li Yuzhu had reported to Zhou Jimin that Alex and others in New York had established a PHS mobile phone laboratory to specialize in the development of similar mobile phones in an attempt to enter the communication field and mobile phone field to make profits.
But the communications field is not that easy to enter. Zhou Jimin has already set up many threshold technologies before.
If you want to enter this industry, you will not be able to get around it unless you find another way, such as satellite communication technology.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Moreover, with the addition of PHS patents over the past year, the threshold technology advantage has become even greater.
It's impossible to go around it.
As for being shameless, directly stealing such technology without paying patent fees, or engaging in other barbaric methods, then Zhou Jimin will only be happier.
After all, a bald eagle with no credibility cannot afford the loss of such a credibility collapse.
It is difficult to enter the communications field, but in the mobile phone field, we can make breakthroughs first.
So after more than a year, Alex and the others finally came up with a mobile phone that was almost the same as a PHS, or even better in their opinion.
It is for this point that Zhou Jimin came to Bald Eagle.
At the beginning of the meeting, people led by Liang Wenfeng and others from the advisory group said that if they wanted to sell products, they would sue them with a complaint.
After all, these mobile phones involve a lot of PHS mobile phone technology, and these rogue companies did not ask for any patent fees at all.
Since it is a hooligan act, what is there to be polite about?
Smith and others, representatives of the technical faction, believe that for technical matters, we should use technology to compete. Of course, banditry must be resolutely put an end to it.
"You are all right, but have you ever considered that in this way, we will be very passive, and the other party will also make money."
Zhou Jimin was a little disappointed and said:
"The other party didn't even say hello before entering, but just stabbed us. Do we still need to be polite to such gangsters?"
Liang Wenfeng and others were suddenly embarrassed. They thought of a good move, but they didn't expect that the boss would look down on it?
"Let the news go. In half a month, PHS will be available in unlimited quantities. At the same time, we will contact the bank to review the loan and other qualifications, so that the bank can provide better low-down payment loan business..."
Hiss!
Hearing Zhou Jimin's words, Liang Wenfeng and others took a breath and were also shocked.
This trick is so cruel!
Because PHS has been verified by the market, although the price has not been reduced, it can be loaned.
And it is a loan that is cooperated with a bank, so the efficiency will be very high.
The unlimited tactic is even more ruthless. The main consumers in the market have already purchased PHS, and now more potential customers are taken away.
So if people like Alex and others want to occupy the market, there is only one way to go: lower prices!
Price reduction means no profit, after all, their costs are already high.
The labor cost for the bald eagle is very expensive. After all, we have to fight against the polar bears. How can we attract talents from all over the world without improving the treatment?
The salary of many people is already several hundred dollars, but what about the mainland?
Even in Oasis New City, the average salary is only a few hundred yuan.
No profit means that you may have to make a profit at a loss, or even lose money.
Moreover, even if the price is lowered, will everything really be fine? What if PHS immediately follows suit and lowers its price or takes other countermeasures?
Liang Wenfeng and the others looked at Zhou Jimin with excitement and admiration, and the latter continued:
"You must also prepare the methods you just mentioned. Next, we will see how the other side uses their moves..."
After determining the countermeasures, the matter was temporarily turned aside, and Zhou Jimin became concerned about investment matters.
The reason for the establishment of the advisory group is to make money quickly and occupy those future giants that are about to appear or are about to rise.
For example, the supermarket Walma will be an invincible presence on the U.S. stock market in the future, and it will also be a super giant in the retail industry.
Three of the Walton family, which controls Volma Supermarket, have always been in the top twenty of Forbes' pig-killing list, and they are the ones who have dominated the list for a long time, which is simply terrifying.
Many people even call the Walton family the first family of bald eagles.
This shows that Woerma’s powerful ability to attract money in later generations.
At this time, Woerma was just a small supermarket with nine stores.
Faced with Liang Wenfeng’s investment intention, founder Sam Walton refused without thinking.
Zhou Jimin burst out laughing when he heard this.
Liang Wenfeng and the others were completely dumbfounded. They were rejected. Shouldn't they be angry?
Why does the boss seem happier?
"Have you investigated the operation model of Woerma clearly?"
Faced with Zhou Jimin's sudden inquiry, Liang Wenfeng and the others nodded to express their understanding.
Yes, Woerma is still just a seedling, and its business model seems to be very ordinary at this time.
After all, Bald Eagles are very rich now, and Liang Wenfeng and the others are not very optimistic about Woerma's operating model with super low profits and low prices.
It was only five or six years later, after experiencing gold price increases, oil price increases and other events, that everyone discovered that, hey, the alternative to shrinking clothes and dieting was the treasure supermarket Woerma?
There is no way, after experiencing the economic crisis, everyone has become poor.
As oil prices rise, life is difficult for everyone. In addition to finding ways to increase revenue, it is natural to find ways to reduce expenditures.
And Woerma's low prices and low profits are naturally popular among everyone.
What's more, Woerma will definitely be on the market by that time.
Only by going public can we obtain more funds to open new supermarkets and dominate the market.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t understand, as long as Zhou Jimin knows.
"I want to set up two supermarket brand companies. One is called Tesco, which specializes in the operation model of a membership-based warehouse supermarket, and the other is called Kaishike, which copies the operation model of Walma Supermarket..."
"Recruit people, provide training, establish a logistics center, and establish a global trading company..."
"Clothes, shoes, tissues, daily gadgets, etc. are all purchased from the southern island to reduce costs..."
After hearing Zhou Jimin's words, Liang Wenfeng and others couldn't help but marveled while busy taking notes.
The two companies did not surprise everyone. On the contrary, global trading companies and goods are supplied from the island, which is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
Because the labor costs on the island are very low.
The demand for things like paper towels is very large in Europe and the United States. The amount of paper towels used by ordinary people can shock many Asians.
Therefore, low prices are the first choice for consumers like them.
Warehouse supermarkets and low-profit supermarkets like Woerma's are actually two business models, but for now, it is not possible to determine which model is more powerful and has a better profit model.
But Zhou Jimin knows that supermarkets under these two models are actually very good.
Like Volma in the future, it also established a membership-based warehouse supermarket, also known as Sam's Supermarket.
What Zhou Jimin has to do now is to contain Woerma's throat, kill it, and make his Tesco and Costco the giants of supermarkets.
Of course, in the next few years, if Woerma has not declined and is still listed, Zhou Jimin will not let go of acquiring its listed shares.
After all, supermarkets under this business model will be really profitable in the future.
Just because Zhou Jimin has a lot of money in his hands does not mean that he can really completely block Woerma.
"You must hurry up. I will see the results within two months. Do you understand clearly?"
Liang Wenfeng and others nodded seriously.
As an advisory group, they know their position very well, that is, as the boss's think tank, they implement the boss's ideas and policies and manage the boss's business territory well.
Zhou Jimin nodded with satisfaction, then moved on to the next topic.
From communications and mobile phones to retail, and then from retail to air conditioners, Zhou Jimin has quite a lot of businesses to pursue.
What can I say about air conditioners? They are used all over the world, as well as large refrigerators, central air conditioners, etc. This market will have great potential for development in the future.
Moreover, this company can be regarded as a relatively influential enterprise and can provide many jobs for the local area.
There are so many people in the mainland. By the 1980s, the air-conditioning company's factories would be relocated directly to the mainland, and the cost would drop significantly.
By poaching people and building nests, Zhou Jimin built a laboratory for the bald eagle.
The scale is not large, and the current laboratory only has a scale of more than 20 professors and researchers.
The investment scale of this laboratory called Midea (Media) is very large. These more than 20 professors were all attracted by the funds.
At present, researchers like them need to solve frequency conversion technology, as well as silent technology, ultra-long-distance air supply technology, etc. that need to be solved in the future.
As for further intelligent technology, more talents and time are needed to figure it out.
In later generations, there are three core technologies for air conditioning: compressor, frequency converter, and controller.
But now, these three technologies are very common, and even inverters are not available in many air conditioner brands.
Therefore, if the newly established Midea air conditioner wants to stand out, it must have technological accumulation and cost advantages.
In this way, we can have more profit margins when the market deadlock is broken.
After all, if a new brand enters and wants to gain market recognition, in addition to quality itself, marketing methods and price are indispensable.
It does not necessarily mean low prices, that is, price wars with other brands, but the market must be opened up to have a future.
Today's business competition is relatively simple and weak, so Zhou Jimin will naturally not defeat these companies.
Therefore, if we control product quality well, in terms of marketing, we can directly reduce the dimensionality.
After talking about air conditioners, we then talked about investment matters in other business areas.
Zhou Jimin pays attention to high efficiency in meetings and will not waste time by discussing back and forth on a certain topic.
Zhou Jimin will get involved in real estate investment, banking, etc.
However, unlike the previous topics, real estate and banking are just financial investments.
In other words, just make a fortune based on future trends.
Anyway, Zhou Jimin is short of everything now, except money.
In the 1970s, after gold was no longer linked to the U.S. dollar, we entered the banking industry and acquired several more banks.
After you have a bank, you have your own settlement center, and you are no longer afraid of being discovered about your capital flow problems.
This can be more hidden, more efficient, and more profitable.
The general direction has been set, and Zhou Jimin ended today's meeting.
Liang Wenfeng and the others' heads were already buzzing. There were many things that needed to be done, so they suggested to Zhou Jimin if they could recruit more people?
There are now more than 30 people on the advisory board, but where is there enough?
The PHS company alone requires a lot of manpower, and it is now involved in so many industries.
Especially supermarkets, air conditioners, trading companies, etc. These are all industries that need to be run by themselves, so they cannot be careless.
