Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 78: Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition 1

On March 2, 1878, at Hong Kong International Airport, Heiyun directly chartered a Boeing 747 from Pan Am. This time I'm going to the exhibition, so I just need to bring some samples.

They brought 8 arcade games, including 2 Space Invaders and 6 Donkey Kong. As well as 2 small CNC machine tools, Bao Zixuan brought the machine tools in the past to exchange some patents and technologies from the old companies, and they are not afraid that they will not be moved when they see such good things.

In addition, I brought 300 Walkmans, two of which are upgraded versions, which were designed by Joanna later, and have been upgraded in function. Compared with the previous Walkman, a small flashlight has been added. In fact, many people think it is useless, but when there is no light outdoors, it can still be used.

There are also 3,020 Transformers toys since John Chambers found abc, one of the three largest commercial broadcast and television companies in the United States. The first Transformers cartoon has been sold for $30,000 per episode.

The plot of the new version of Transformers is all set according to the preferences of American children, and immediately set off a storm in the United States after the broadcast. Many children want to have an Autobot toy after seeing cartoons. And Heiyun also issued an announcement that it will be fully listed after the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition.

ABC's Children's Channel has always been ranked last in the ratings of the three major TV stations, but because of the Transformers broadcast, it has become the children's channel's ratings champion in this period. As a result, the director of abc children's channel has begun to discuss with Heiyun about the playback of the next Transformers cartoon. Seeing that abc has a price of 30,000 US dollars per episode, and the first broadcast ratings are so high, many TV stations are considering buying the second round of broadcast rights. For a time John Chambers became the most popular person on major American television stations.

Since Chambers joined, Heiyun has been in charge of all operations of Black Cloud in the United States. Hashimoto Hiroshi became the head of the research and development center of the US branch. In fact, his current strength is more about coordinating the operation of various departments.

Hiroshi Hashimoto knew that his management and adaptability were far from John-Chambers, and now he began to consciously take over the logistics and coordinate the research of the engineers.

Heiyun's research and development department in the United States has been working **** computer projects. Bao Zixuan did not give specific performance research indicators, but he wanted to make the world's lightest and most practical computer. He wanted to develop a notebook computer first.

As for desktop computers, we don't want to have any conflict with Apple at the moment. Originally, he had no confidence in the notebook computer, but he bought so much titanium alloy from the Soviet Union, so the thin and light notebook has super strong body strength material. The rest is to see the strong technical reserves of Intel and MIT. Black Cloud ordered some of Intel's most advanced chips at a premium on behalf of MIT.

The world's first laptop computer was developed by Toshiba Corporation in 1985. With the support of so many computer doctors and professors from MIT, Black Cloud Corporation should be able to catch up with the 7-year time difference.

Now Bao Zixuan's thoughts are on the Los Angeles Electronics Show. As for the speed of computer development, he does not insist on it. After all, it is only an experimental product.

A total of 30 people from Black Cloud Company participated in the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition, including 10 people from the game design department of Miyamoto Hat, 12 people from the North American sales team led by John Chambers, and some other administrative and logistics personnel of the company.

Yokoi Junpei didn't come, after all, this time is not his stage. He will save his strength for the next time.

The Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition is the third this year, and it has not received enough attention. After all, it is not as influential as the exhibitions in Berlin and Tokyo. Many big companies will not go all out when they come, which gives Heiyun a chance. They are the first to sign up, pay the fees first, and choose the 200-square-meter seat on the right side of the entrance hall.

The price per square meter here reaches 3,000 US dollars per square meter, and the rent for a single booth is 600,000 US dollars. Overall, the Heiyun exhibition will cost about 1.5 million US dollars. If there are no amazing products, you will even earn the booth fee. not coming back.

The Black Cloud Company and his party arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on March 3, and John Chambers led the American staff who arrived in California early to pick them up.

After all, the United States is now half the home of Heiyun Company. After the Heiyun employees declared all the goods at customs, they pulled them to the exhibition hall area by truck. They can't rest now. After all, the exhibition layout is tight and the task is heavy.

Actually, because of the charter flight this time, everyone rested very well on the plane, and no one felt the fatigue of the journey.

When Heiyun came to the exhibition hall, they saw that the exhibition hall had been built. The design of the exhibition hall was mainly provided by Bao Zixuan and designed by Martin Griff.

The entire exhibition hall uses a large number of glass structures, which has the feeling of alien technology in this era. A TV video recorder was used to put the already recorded commercials on the largest wall of the exhibition hall for repeated meals. In the entire exhibition hall, there is only this wall without lights, which is to make the projection clearer.

John Chambers began to arrange the exhibits according to the drawings. After all, this time Heiyun has two games on the market. Although one was jointly developed with Taidong Co., Ltd., it was developed by Heiyun in North America, and this time Taidong It was a little late when I signed up, and the venue I got was far worse than Heiyun in terms of location and exhibition hall size; currently, it can only be dominated by Heiyun.

As soon as you enter the black cloud exhibition hall, there is a reception desk, and then walk in from the right, the first part is the game arcade exhibition area. There are a total of 12 game consoles, including 6 Donkey Kong, 2 each of Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Xiangjiang Cube. Some small countries have not yet introduced Pac-Man and Xiangjiang Cube, so they should show their faces at this time. Let the agents see the strength of Heiyun in the game industry. Each machine covers an area of ​​8 square meters plus a queuing area.

The second part is the Walkman exhibition area. There are a total of 5 types of Walkmans, including 2 of the latest styles. The Walkmans are placed on rectangular glass pillars, and lights are specially installed below. The jewelry displayed by the auction house is of this specification. The labor cost of each of these glass pillars is $400.

The rest of the Walkman is on the shelf for people to enjoy and listen to.

The third part is the exhibition area of ​​small CNC machine tools, including a small industrial master machine. These small machine tools will be demonstrated on-site according to the needs of customers~www.readwn.com~The fourth part is the exhibition area of ​​transformers. King Kong is not very matching, but in order to let people remember the function and play of Transformers. He prepared 3,000 plastic Transformers toys for the children who came to visit. Some of the remaining 20 titanium alloy versions were turned into cars, and some turned into people and displayed in the exhibition hall.

Heiyun's employees started to set up the exhibition hall from the moment they got off the plane. Everyone brought their lunch in from the fast food ordered in the exhibition hall. Seeing that Bao Zixuan was also sitting on the ground, picking up the lunch box and eating without regard to his image, everyone was no longer tangled. After all, the owner's current net worth is someone who can be included in the Forbes list.

John Chambers was eating with a lunch box next to Bao Zixuan, and when he saw the female employee of Heiyun, he said, "Boss, some of our female employees are not suitable for being a hostess. Do you want to recruit more nearby? , after all, it is very close to Hollywood. Every year, many beautiful women come here to find opportunities.”

Bao Zixuan also discovered that Heiyun female employees have never been associated with beauty. He didn't bother about it either, he just needed to do his job well. Beauty and ugliness were things her husband should consider, and had nothing to do with the company, but to hear Chambers say that, yes! If you are a lady of manners like this, you can still meet people!

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "You don't have to tell me about this in the future, you can just figure it out yourself. In the future, you will be responsible for all these things in the United States. My strengths lie in creativity and research and development. As for sales and promotion, that is your responsibility. things."

John Chambers was also speechless, he had only been hired for a few days. The power in his hands now and the amount of approvals have surpassed that of the CEOs of many large North American companies. This boss is really an unreasonable person.
