Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After seeing the Walkman released by Sony in the afternoon, Bao Zixuan knew that Philips would also sell it at a lower price. The Walkman market will be more competitive than in previous generations, and the profits of each manufacturer will also decrease.

In fact, Bao Zixuan was very conflicted at the time, and did not want to license the Walkman patent so easily. However, if Heiyun did not license the Walkman patent, what else would Heiyun have that these big companies would like.

The answer is "no", so why should other companies sell patents to you? After comprehensive consideration, we still have to let go of this sole tyrant, and there are also restrictions from anti-monopoly investigation agencies. In order to get the technology and equipment he wanted, Bao Zixuan had no choice but to reluctantly give up.

The first day of the exhibition ended after Sony introduced its new products. A total of eight companies released new products. However, except for Heiyun, which is Xiangjiang Company, the rest of these companies are almost divided up by American, Japanese and German companies.

This is also a reality. In this era, these three countries are dominant in the field of consumer electronics. After returning to the hotel, Yokoi Junpei and Ma Chenglong began to report on the order status of game companies and home appliance companies.

Heiyun shaver also stole the show at this exhibition with its design and technology that transcended this era. Ma Chenglong knew that he would not lose money if he switched jobs and came to Heiyun, at least now.

Ma Chenglong said: "Chairman, our two Heiyun shavers performed very well today. At present, Metro in Germany and Walmart in the United States have signed purchase contracts with us. After the exhibition, our shavers will be placed here On the shelves of the two major supermarket giants. At the same time, we also signed some small contracts. On the first day alone, our two razors sold more than 200,000 units. This made Philips’ new product launch very unsuccessful.”

Philips did not recommend the Walkman as a new product this time, but chose its own strength, razors. Unexpectedly, Heiyun shaver is better than its own new product in terms of design and function. This makes Philips very depressed. Why did they license some basic patents and motor technology of the shaver in the first place?

After Bao Zixuan nodded, he made a gesture of invitation to Yokoi Junpei.

Junpei Yokoi said excitedly: "Our gameboy has now received orders for 3 million units. This is the result of us restricting the first batch of customers from placing too many orders, otherwise the order will definitely exceed 5 million units. However, many of them are not available today. The customer who signed the contract said that he must sign the contract as soon as possible tomorrow morning. We will definitely have no problem selling more than 10 million gameboy handheld game consoles at this exhibition. President, we have succeeded."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan didn't expect that Gameboy would be so popular. In fact, it's not his fault for underestimating. In its previous life, 20 million units were sold in 1. At that time, consumers were already very picky. Nowadays, many classic games have not yet entered the player's sight. Game consoles that can be played anytime, anywhere, at home, in the car, or in the park. That's something consumers never dared to think about before. Heiyun Group can actually help them realize it. This is the reason why major agents are desperately placing orders.

Bao Zixuan: "Where are the other games! Yokoi-kun!"

I was so excited that I forgot about this matter. Miyamoto Hat was still developing a new game in Xiangjiang. As the general manager of a game company, I only think about gameboy, a product I developed. I am indeed not a qualified manager. After all, the game arcade is managed by itself. But fortunately, I just took a look at the statistical results.

Yokoi Junpei hesitated for about a minute. He wanted to recall the data he just saw. Said: "The sales volume of game arcade machines is not particularly ideal. Except for the Legend of Senna, which sold 5,000 units, the rest are around 1,500 units."

In fact, Junpei Yokoi was confused by the number of Gameboy units starting at one million units. This was an arcade machine, and it was the first day. Bao Zixuan is very satisfied with this sales volume.

The employees of Heiyun Group arrived at the exhibition hall early the next morning, and Bao Zixuan also dressed up carefully today. He wants to explain the new products of Heiyun laptop.

The Heiyun exhibition hall was still the most popular this morning. Many buyers who had not signed the gameboy purchase contract yesterday came here immediately and started to sign contracts with Heiyun Game Company.

Today, a total of two new products will be recommended and promoted. Bao Zixuan is scheduled to appear for the second time, and it is also the last new product to be publicly recommended in the entire exhibition. After that, it will be time for free communication between buyers and sellers. The main committee will not arrange other products for public recommendation and explanation.

Many people were in the Heiyun exhibition hall, which made the representative of Japan's Toshiba Corporation who was the first to take the stage today very depressed. There were not many spectators in the audience, but it was better than yesterday! This can be regarded as a kind of balance in disguise in the heart!

What Toshiba has launched is a Japanese processor chip that can be programmed in Japanese. It can be said to be very memorable. If the United States had not suppressed Toshiba later, Toshiba would indeed have developed better in the field of electronic products.

Other countries have seen that programming can be done in Japanese, but what about German and French! Don’t you have to program in English? Can any country in the world program in its own language! It cannot be seen now, but once we enter the Internet era and network security becomes very famous, software written in our own language will be even more trusted.

Bao Zixuan knew about this chip in his previous life. As for why it was not popularized, it was directly related to the mistakes made by Toshiba itself. It is also indirectly related to the United States' desire to suppress the Japanese software industry.

Toshiba had cooperated with the Soviet Union, and a very famous incident had occurred in history. Bao Zixuan knew that it would happen in a few years.

Late at night, the 10,000-ton cargo ship "Old Communist" sailed by the Soviet Shipping Company to Japan departed from Japan's Shibaura Terminal and carried away dozens of boxes of components for "five-axis linkage CNC machine tools." According to the Japanese, the purpose of the Soviet Union's purchase of these CNC machine tools was not only to improve the propulsion performance of submarines, but also to improve the propellers of the new aircraft carriers that were under construction at the time. This is the sensational "Toshiba Corporation's violation of Batumi export incident." The consequences of this incident were serious: for the first time, the U.S. Navy lost its hydroacoustic detection advantage over Soviet naval vessels. To this day, the U.S. Navy is still not absolutely sure to detect new Russian submarines.

1. The Japanese Police Department arrested Ryuji Hayashi, director of the casting department, and Hiroaki Tanimura, director of the machine tool division of Toshiba Machinery Corporation. Toshiba Machinery Company had conspired with the Norwegian company Kongsberg to illegally export high-tech products such as large milling machines to the Soviet Union. Ryuji Hayashi and Hiroaki Tanimura were accused of being directly responsible for this high-tech smuggling case. This case caused an uproar in the international public opinion. This was one of the military-sensitive high-tech smuggling cases that caused the greatest harm to the security of Western countries during the Cold War - the Toshiba incident.

Bao Zixuan, who knew the historical context, thought that this matter would hardly change. The only variable was that Heiyun Group provided large-scale CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, but he did not dare to do so due to his small body, otherwise he would not be able to live in Hong Kong. Toshiba had to pay a heavy price to settle the matter back then.

Since Toshiba is likely to export large CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union, can Heiyun use this matter to threaten Toshiba? However, this matter must be carried out secretly, otherwise it will be difficult for the Soviets to know that they want to die. However, Bao Zixuan always felt itchy when he saw that such good chip technology could not be obtained. He thought that he must find an opportunity to get Toshiba's Japanese processor chip technology and then develop Chinese processor chips.

Toshiba representatives had no idea that the chip they had just released was already being targeted by a hungry wolf.
