It only took two or three months for Shinhwa Technology to develop from its inception, and its achievements are impressive.
As an emerging technology company controlled by Chinese capital in Japan, Shinhwa Technology's "Myth Karaoke" shocked the market and attracted countless Japanese people who were willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy such high-tech products.
So much so that it was once hard to find a karaoke movie.
But now, Shinhwa's newly released scientific and technological achievement, the "Myth Generation" Walkman, has been languishing in the market.
Five hundred dollars a piece!
This unimaginable pricing strategy has deterred countless Japanese people.
Although Japan developed rapidly in this era and had a good economic development momentum, it had not yet reached the level where it could buy the entire United States in the 1980s.
Most Japanese people are still very poor.
Now that the Shinhwa Walkman is on the market, hundreds of units are sold in one day, making it a laughing stock among technology peers.
When I think back to Shi Zhijian's boastful words about sales reaching 50,000 units before the Walkman was launched, it becomes even more ridiculous!
"Xinxi, I didn't expect that this Shi Zhijian is a useless guy!"
Colleagues are enemies!
When these Japanese people talked about Shi Zhijian's disastrous sales failure on the phone, they all burst into laughter.
Originally, everyone was shouting that the wolf is coming, fearing that Shi Zhijian would seize their market. But now they see that the opponent is not a wolf, but a little sheep!
"Mr. Morita! You can rest assured now, that Shi Zhijian is a fool! Yes, he is a fool! Otherwise, how could he develop such a price strategy? If you buy him a machine for five hundred dollars, he really thinks that we Japanese people are all
Are you a fool?"
Akio Morita smiled particularly happily, "You can't say that! That Shi Zhijian is still a little clever, which can be seen from his invention of selling karaoke! But now I find that I don't know him well enough. People's stupidity can be seen from one or two things
Little things can show up! This time he stumbled, but he will learn to behave better in the future!"
"You are right! Such an opponent is not worthy of you taking a second look. Most of their success is due to luck! Poor those who praised him, they don't know where to hide and cry now!"
"Hahaha! Thanks to your words, I can have a good sleep tonight! Damn it, this hateful Chinese has disturbed our peace in Kyoto! I haven't had a comfortable sleep in several days!"
"You can just sleep peacefully. There are too many people seeking death like this! Like that guy Taro Hyou, the guy who was engaged in TV R&D and went against Sony three years ago. He could have sold you the patent he obtained, but in the end he had to
He started production by himself, but as a result, the factory went bankrupt and he jumped directly from Tokyo Tower and committed suicide!"
Morita remembered that there was a person who looked short and short. He liked to wear an old gray kimono all year round. He also liked to put his hands in his sleeves and had a mustache. He didn't like to speak.
He has a ridiculous Osaka accent, but I remember his name is indeed "Kohyo Taro".
This young Hyōtaro had mastered the latest television picture tube technology. After Morita heard about it, he specially sent Sony's most capable negotiators to negotiate with him, hoping to acquire this patented technology at a high price.
But the answer he got was that Kohyo Taro wanted to do it on his own, open his own factory, and produce his own TV sets!
As you can imagine, invention and creation and production and sales are completely different things.
After hearing this, Shengtian sighed: "Yes, he is also a talent! Unfortunately, he is a bit arrogant! If he had been less greedy and willing to sell me the patented technology of the picture tube, maybe he could still be a wealthy man comfortably.
!Now, it has become a handful of loess!"
"Mr. Morita, you are so kind at heart!"
"Uh, really?" This was the first time Akio Morita heard someone praising him like this. He couldn't help being a little stunned. Usually many people called him a "careerist", a "black-hearted ghost", and a "stealer from the pockets of the poor".
Capitalist of money”!
…
It was almost midnight, and the phone calls were still coming and going. Akio Morita was particularly concerned about Shinhwa Technology Company. In his opinion, Shi Zhijian was a cunning thing. He didn't know what tricks he could pull off until tomorrow.
As for other Japanese technology companies, they are full of disdain for this Chinese-controlled enterprise. Although Shinhwa has made a lot of money through karaoke, it can also lose all the money it makes through the Walkman!
God is always fair!
What's more, this is the home ground of Japanese people!
Who said the Raptors couldn't beat the river?
This is Japan, Japan!
A place full of talented people!
Chinese like Shi Zhijian ---
Crossing the river is also death!
…
The next day!
A local newspaper in Kyoto published news about the "Waterloo" sales of Shinhwa Technology's new product "Walkman".
"Asahi Shimbun": "Success or failure has turned into nothing! The 'myth' created by Shinhwa Technology is completely destroyed!"
"Kyoto Times": "Karaoke creates brilliance! The Walkman market is cold!"
As the news fermented, the entire public opinion exploded, and a large number of nativists began to denounce Shinhwa Technology!
I believe that the reason for Shinhwa’s marketing failure this time is that it failed to face the market correctly and find the correct positioning!
He also compared the Walkman, a brand-new product, to a "dwarf that evolved from the tape recorder". It was small and had inherent deficiencies!
If these people's criticisms are quite satisfactory, starting from the positioning and quality of the product, then some people's direct criticism of Shi Zhijian is suspected of personal attack and discrimination.
Shi Zhijian, a Chinese from Hong Kong, wants to gain a foothold in the Japanese technology market. He thinks he is a god and has made a fortune by relying on karaoke, but now he has failed with his Walkman!
What does this mean?
It shows that people who are as stupid as pigs do not deserve to stand up!
They are always weak! They are losers! Even if they succeed once, they are just out of luck!
These reports were almost entirely sarcastic and full of verbal attacks. They almost pointed at Shi Zhijian and cursed: "You are a pig!"
…
Inside the Shinhwa Technology office.
Shi Zhijian threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, pointed at the news on that side and said, "I'll give you a slap in the face! I don't know anything else, but this report must have been paid for!"
As Shi Zhijian's personal translator, Dai Fengni blinked her beautiful eyes, picked up the newspaper and read it, then suddenly turned back and asked Shi Zhijian: "Can you read Japanese?"
"You can't understand it! But the words Shi Zhijian and pig are mentioned above, but I know those words!"
Sure enough, Dai Fengni took a closer look and saw that "Shi Zhijian" on it was the Chinese character, and the Japanese word "pig" was often translated as "dolphin".
Shi Zhijian used to like to play the arcade game "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he was extremely familiar with the "dolphin" that popped out at every turn.
