We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 26 Opening Business
December 1978, 9.
For ordinary people, this is an ordinary day. But for Hong Kong Island's technology industry, today it is called the beginning of the rise of Hong Kong Island's technology by many experts of later generations.
In Tsuen Wan, the arcade factory that has been renamed Honor Game Electronics Factory has officially opened.
Why is it called Glory? It can be considered a helpless move.
In fact, Luo Nianzhong really liked the name Zhonghua Youwei, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Maybe it was out of respect. This name should let him meet the right person at the right time.
There was not too much publicity, just two firecrackers were set off, and they did not even invite the traditional dragon and lion dances that are usually invited at the opening of factories.
This is what Luo Nianzhong requested. He wants to use this to warn himself that this is just a small and insignificant industry in his life, and there will be greater glory waiting for him to create in the future.
He would not know that in the years to come, this would become a legacy of the Luo family empire.
I followed Liang Jiadong around, looking at the busy workers, and checking out the newly opened canteen.
“The food must be taken care of, and the quality and hygiene of the dishes must be good. As long as there is no waste, they can eat whatever they want.
As for the leftover meals that we usually can’t finish, we can contact nearby orphanages and the like, which can be considered as some insignificant help we can do to them.”
Liang Jiadong nodded and expressed his understanding, "Don't worry Luo Sheng, the chefs we hire are all professional. I told them to leave some margin every time I cook, because I am afraid that the workers will not have enough to eat."
"Is this right? Workers are working hard for us on the front line, so we must provide logistical support.
If the workers' mood cannot improve even when they take a break and eat, do you think they can have a good attitude when they go to work again?"
During the discussion, the two came to the warehouse, where several large trucks were parked. The moving crews were loading the trucks in an orderly manner, lifting each arcade machine onto the truck and stacking them.
"A batch of arcade machines that were trial-produced a few days ago have been taken away by Big Head B, and the response has been good." Looking at the workers who were loading the trucks, Liang Jiadong explained the situation to Luo Nianzhong, "There are many people who like the game, so naturally there will be more people asking for goods from him. Today he will take away 500 units."
"Are they all paid in cash?" Luo Nianzhong was a little curious.
"That's right, our arcade machines are not covered by credit."
Luo Nianzhong, who received a positive reply, couldn't help but feel that he had underestimated Big Tou B.
500 arcade machines, according to the price Luo Nianzhong gave him, 12000 each is 600 million. Unexpectedly, Big B took it out immediately. It seems that the club has made a lot of money.
In fact, Luo Nianzhong had wronged Big Tou B. How could he have so much money? It was because the first batch of arcade machines were very popular. Knowing that Big Tou B could get the goods, the big guys from other places directly gave him the full price.
It's not like they want to give full payment without seeing the goods. But Big Tou B is very smart and promised to deliver the goods within three days to the person who paid the full payment. The going price is 15000 and there will be no price increase.
As for those who are hesitant and don’t have the full payment, the price will be increased by 10% and they will have to wait in the back. This is why Big Boss B has the money to get so many goods at once.
Just as he was talking, several more large trucks drove up from the gate and lined up at the back of the loading queue.
The passenger door of the leading car opened, and a fat figure trotted over happily. Who else could it be if it wasn't Big Head B?
Before anyone arrived, the voice came over first. "Master Luo, I didn't expect you to come here. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have followed the car and would have waited for you here."
He must be worried about the 600 million yuan business, and you can understand it after taking a trip with the car.
"My business is open, how could I not come over? You, on the other hand, are grinning from ear to ear. It seems you are making a lot of money." Big Head B makes money and Luo Nianzhong can be said to be the happiest, which means he makes more.
"Hey, everywhere, this is all thanks to Master Tuoluo. Master Luo gives me face, I just drink some soup behind Master Luo." Arriving in front of Luo Nianzhong, Big Tou B quickly took out a box of cigars and filled them for Luo Nianzhong and Liang Jiadong.
This was not because he was flattering Luo Nianzhong, but because it was a fact. In just four days, 600 arcade machines were taken. This was only in the two districts of Tsuen Wan and Yau Tsim Mong. If he could take over the entire Hong Kong Island, he would not dare to think about it. How much profit can there be.
Even now, the markets in these two districts are far from saturated, and many places can be developed, such as movie theaters and shopping malls.
Thinking of this, Big Tou B rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically, "Hey, um, Mr. Luo. You see the market is so good now and you have a lot of inventory in your warehouse. Can you add some more to the original share?"
Luo Nianzhong did not answer, but looked at the cigar that Big Tou B had just lit for him. This is a small cigar with a diameter of less than 3g and a diameter of less than 39 ring gauge. It is a thin cigar that is loved by women.
"Okay, I'll smoke Dominican cigars. It seems like my arcade machine is really popular, so I feel relieved."
Dominican cigars, like Cuba, are one of the four holy places for cigar production, and they are not cheap.
Luo Nianzhong originally planned to find someone to do market research in the next two days, but after seeing the leapfrog consumption level improvement from poor people to rich people, he knew it was no longer necessary.
"It was Mr. Luo who promoted me, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to smoke such expensive things. If Mr. Luo likes me, I still have some, and I'll have someone send them to you."
"Forget it, just keep it for yourself and enjoy it." Luo Nianzhong thought for a while, then turned to look at Liang Jiadong.
"How many arcade machines do we have in stock now?"
"Not counting his remaining 400 units, we still have about 11000 units in stock." Liang Jiadong knows the situation of the Honor Factory very well.
"The workers in the factory are not very skilled yet, and the production capacity is about 1400 to 1600 units per day."
Glancing at Big Tou B who was swallowing his saliva after hearing the number, Liang Jiadong expressed his thoughts.
"The International Electronics Show is about to open. Once a large number of orders are received, our batch of goods may not be enough for the first batch of delivery."
It doesn't take much. As long as there are orders of 20 for the three arcade machines, according to Luo Nianzhong and Liang Jiadong's discussion, the first batch of 6% delivery of the arcade machines will be units.
The current production capacity is not enough, not to mention Luo Nianzhong believes that the orders by then will definitely exceed 20.
What time is it now? In the era of the global economic depression, the world is not very optimistic about the rapid recovery of the European and American economies.
Ever heard of the lipstick effect? That is to say, the more depressed the economy is, the greater the sales volume of lipstick will be. As for why so many women buy lipstick, I understand.
This effect also applies to the gaming industry. If there is no money to go out and spend time drinking and traveling, cheap games have become an entertainment item for a large number of people.
Last year, global arcade sales reached 197 million units, and this number continues to skyrocket every year. Space Invaders, which was just released in the island nation of Taitung this year, sold units in the island nation in just two months. This is not the craziest time for this game.
If history does not change, Atari won the North American agency rights for this game in 1980, and sold nearly one million units in the same year. Atari's arcade machines sold 200 million units that year. This was just Atari. A gaming company.
Luo Nianzhong believes that these three Honor games will make the world even crazier. His goal is to sell millions of games a year. However, it only lasts for one year, and the current game retention can only be said to be too poor.
"In this way, workers are allowed to get off work overtime and their wages are doubled, but they must pay attention to production safety."
Pointing at Big Tou B, "As for him, let's give him 500 units."
"Thank you, Mr. Luo." Big Tou B was very happy when he heard that the share of 500 more units had been increased. This was another profit of one million.
However, through this incident, Big Head B complained about these businessmen countless times in his heart. You can still make money. We, the damn ones, work from dawn to dusk and are so frightened that we can only make a little money by selling washing powder with our heads on our pants.
Looking at Luo Nian, from Big Head B's understanding, this is a business worth tens or even hundreds of millions per month. Otherwise, I would still be a scholar.
Thinking of this, Big Tou B thought of his son again. The little brat doesn't study well and skips classes and gets into fights at a young age. You must educate him well when you get back.
Little Tou B, who didn't know where to be happy, went back in the evening and had a meal of fried pork on bamboo boards for no apparent reason.
Luo Nianzhong didn't know what Big Tou B was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely tell Big Tou B.
"Hundreds of millions? Who are you looking down on? If I told you the cost price, wouldn't you be stupid?"
This is now, these people regard this thing as high technology. After a few years, groups that know how to copy will price this thing to the floor price.
Regarding piracy, Luo Nianzhong didn't have a good solution. Fortunately, Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia were not major markets, and Luo Nianzhong didn't expect arcade machines to make big money all the time.
When the time comes, just take it one step at a time.
