Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Chapter 78 Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition 1

On March 2, 1878, at Xiangjiang International Airport, Heiyun directly chartered a Boeing 747 passenger aircraft from Pan American Airways. This time, he was going to an exhibition and only needed to bring some samples.

They brought 8 game arcade machines, including 2 Space Invaders, 6 Donkey Kong machines, and 2 small CNC machine tools. Bao Zixuan brought the machine tools in order to exchange some patents and technologies from established companies. Seeing this

Don't be afraid that they won't be tempted by good things.

In addition, they also brought 300 Walkmans, two of which were upgraded versions, which were later designed by Joanna and had some upgrades in function. Compared with the previous Walkmans, a small flashlight was added. In fact, many people

I think it is useless, but when there is no light outdoors, you can still push it.

There are also 3,020 Transformers toys. Since John Chambers found ABC, one of the three major commercial broadcasting and television companies in the United States, he has sold the first Transformers cartoon at a bargain price of US$30,000 per episode.

The plot of the new version of Transformers is all set according to the preferences of American children. It immediately caused a storm in the United States after it was broadcast. After seeing the cartoon, many children wanted to have an Autobot toy. And Heiyun also issued an announcement.

It will be fully launched after the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show.

ABC's children's channel has always been ranked last among the three major TV stations in ratings, but after showing Transformers, it became the children's channel's ratings champion during this time period. As a result, the director of ABC's children's channel has begun discussing the next movie with Heiyun.

There was a problem with the broadcast of the Transformers cartoon. Seeing that ABC had paid US$30,000 per episode and the ratings for the first broadcast were so high, many TV stations were considering buying the rights to broadcast the second round. Suddenly John Chambers became

The most popular person on all major American television stations.

Since Chambers joined, he has been responsible for all the operations of Heiyun in the United States. Hiroshi Hashimoto has become the head of the R&D center of the U.S. branch. In fact, his current strength is more about coordinating the operations of various departments.

Hiroshi Hashimoto knew that his management and adaptability were far behind those of John Chambers, so he now began to consciously take over the logistics work and coordinate the various studies of the engineers.

Heiyun's R&D department in the United States has been working hard on computer projects. Bao Zixuan did not give specific performance research indicators. He just wanted to make the most portable and practical computer in the world. He wanted to develop a laptop first.

As for desktop computers, he currently doesn’t want to have any conflict with Apple. He originally had no confidence in laptop computers, but after buying so much titanium alloy from the Soviet Union, thin and light laptops have super strong body materials. The rest is up to Intel.

and MIT's strong technical reserves. Black Cloud Company ordered some of Intel's most advanced chips at high prices in the name of MIT.

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

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

A total of 30 people from Heiyun Company participated in the Electronic Technology Show in Los Angeles, 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 logistical staff of the company.

Junpei Yokoi did not come, after all, this was not his stage. He wanted to save his strength for next time.

The Los Angeles Electronics Technology Show is the third this year, and it has not received enough attention so far. 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.

Investing, this gave Heiyun a chance. They were the first to sign up, the first to pay the fee, and the first to choose the 200-square-meter seat on the right side of the entrance hall.

The price per square meter here has reached 3,000 US dollars per square meter, and the rent of a single booth alone is 600,000 US dollars. Overall, Heiyun's 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.

A group of people from Heiyun Company arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on March 3, and John Chambers led American personnel who arrived in California early to pick them up.

After all, the United States is now half of Heiyun Company's home field. After Heiyun employees declared all the goods to customs, they used trucks to haul them to the exhibition hall area. They can't rest now, after all, the exhibition layout is time-tight and the tasks are heavy.

In fact, since it was a chartered flight this time, everyone had a good rest on the plane, and no one felt the fatigue of the journey.

When everyone in Heiyun arrived at the exhibition hall, they saw that the exhibition hall had been set up. The design of the exhibition hall this time was mainly creatively provided by Bao Zixuan and designed by Martin Grieve.

The entire exhibition hall uses a large amount of glass structure, which feels a bit like alien technology in this era. A TV recorder is used inside to put the already recorded commercials on the largest wall of the exhibition hall and play them repeatedly. This is the only thing in the entire exhibition hall.

There are no lights around the wall to make the projection clearer.

John Chambers began to arrange the exhibits according to the drawings. After all, Heiyun has two games on the market this time. Although one of them is jointly developed with Taitung Co., Ltd., in North America, Heiyun is responsible for the development, and this time Taitung

It was a bit late when I signed up, and the venue I got was far different from Heiyun in terms of location and exhibition hall size; currently we can only focus on Heiyun.

There is a reception desk as soon as you enter the Heiyun Exhibition Hall, 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 introduced Pac-Man and Xiangjiang Cubes yet, and they have to show their faces at this time. Let the agents see the strength of Heiyun Company in the gaming industry. Each machine covers an area of ​​8 square meters plus the queuing area.

The second part is the Walkman exhibition area. There are a total of 5 Walkmans, including 2 of the latest models. The Walkmans are placed on rectangular glass pillars, and lights are specially installed below. The auction house displays jewelry with this specification.

The labor cost for each of these glass pillars is $400.

The rest of the Walkmans are placed on shelves for people to enjoy and listen to.

The third part is the small CNC machine tool exhibition area, which includes a small industrial mother machine. These small machine tools will be demonstrated on-site according to customer needs.

The fourth part is the Transformers exhibition area. In fact, it is not very suitable to display Transformers in the electronic technology exhibition, but in order to let people remember the functions and gameplay of Transformers, he prepared 3,000 plastic Transformers toys for the children who came to visit, and the remaining

Some of the 20 titanium alloy versions below have been transformed into cars, and some have been transformed into people and placed in the exhibition hall.

Heiyun's employees started decorating the exhibition hall as soon as they got off the plane. Everyone also brought in the fast food they ordered in the exhibition hall. Seeing that Bao Zixuan also sat on the ground and picked up lunch boxes to eat without caring about the image, everyone was no longer entangled.

After all, the boss’s current net worth is such that he could be included in the Forbes list.

John Chambers was eating from a lunch box next to Bao Zixuan. When he saw the female employee in Heiyun, he said: "Boss, some of our current female employees are not suitable to be hostesses. Do you think we should recruit more nearby?"

, after all, it is very close to Hollywood. Every year many beauties come here looking for opportunities."

Bao Zixuan also discovered that the female employees of Heiyun have never had anything to do with beauty. He didn't worry about it. He just could do his job well. Beauty and ugliness were things that her husband should consider and had nothing to do with the company, but

Hearing Chambers say this, yes! How can you still be popular as a hostess?

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

thing."

John Chambers was also speechless. He had only been employed for a few days. Now the power in his hands and the amount of approvals had surpassed the CEOs of many large companies in North America. This boss really did not follow common sense.
