(ps: I uploaded it before 12ǎn, the first draft, I haven’t had time to correct the typos, I will re-edit and upload it after I correct it later. You can wait for half an hour to read it again, sorry!)
Lu's Electronics Co., Ltd. started producing TV sets as early as the 1970s and is one of the largest TV manufacturers in Hong Kong. After the emergence of the Oriental Group, Lu's Electronics Co., Ltd. is one of the earliest partners, and has been OEM for arcade display, computer display, TV and other products for the companies under the Oriental Group.
With the support of Dongfang Group, Lu's Electronics Co., Ltd. is not on the same level as it was ten years ago in terms of production capacity and technology. In addition to actively undertaking orders from Dongfang Group, Lu's Electronics has never given up its own brand business.
As one of the earliest Hong Kong businessmen to invest in China, Lu's TVs sell very well in China. In addition, it also took advantage of the company's subsidiaries of the Oriental Group to build a chain of electronic hypermarkets around the world, and sold its own TVs, computers and other products to many countries in the world.
Lu's company's product positioning is very clear, that is, it does not compete with big brands in the mid-to-high-end market, but uses the price advantage of high quality and low price to compete in the low-end market. Especially in the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets, Lu's Electronics Company has started to develop its own distribution channels as early as the 1970s, and has been focusing on these two markets in recent years.
The focus of the Oriental Group's market development has always been on the developed markets of Japan, North America and Europe. Although it has begun to adjust in recent years, it has paid more and more attention to the development of other markets. However, the attributes of most of the products of the Oriental Group are doomed, and its market development will only take the high-end route.
For example, the company's electronic chain hypermarkets have also begun to enter the Philippines and Indonesia. However, the layout of the store locations is always in the most prosperous business districts of the most prosperous cities such as Manila and Jakarta.
Therefore, Lu's Electronics was drawn into the promotion alliance in order to better complement each other with Dongfang Group. Through the distribution channels of Lu's Electronics Company, to cover those low-end markets that the Oriental Group does not involve.
There is also a special reason why Collin is going to invite Scar Qiang to join him. The underworld is a special river and lake hidden behind the sun. A big boss in Hong Kong is wanted. As a result, he successfully escaped to Thailand or Burma to hide〗 ◇dǐng〗◇ǎn〗◇小〗◇ Say, .∨.±os_(); avoid.
It is naturally impossible for the criminals to exit the customs through normal channels, but rely on the smuggling-smuggling channels established by illegal acts such as drug trafficking and smuggling. These networks can form an underground network throughout East Asia through cross-regional connections between yakuza and gangs.
The invasion of social groups has been a headache for the Hong Kong film industry in recent years. Many popular stars have had the experience of being couriered and forced to accept some bad film contracts. He Antang saw making movies to make money in the early years, and also established a production company called Hejiahuan Pictures.
It's just that the film company is doing poorly. It was transferred to Li Ke to take over the management. But HeAntang did not quit the film industry completely, but established another company. Since the feature film cannot stand, the new company simply turned to limited-production, which is what we often call love action films.
The Hong Kong film market has both formal cinema chains and many underground cinemas. Back then, Li Xuan's eldest brother, Li Ke, was in charge of watching the show in an underground cinema. These underground cinemas are more restrained during the day, and at night they only show pornographic movies to attract salty and wet people to buy tickets.
This kind of movie can have no plot, no acting skills, as long as the heroine can take off and reveal. He Antang has now found his own space in the film industry. Ordinary actresses may not be willing to make such films. But they are underworld. Some of her subordinates are young ladies with a bold style, and there are always one or two who dare to show off in front of the camera.
After these restricted films are made, it is naturally impossible for them to be sold only in Hong Kong. They are also made into videotapes and sold through special channels to the entire East Asian market.
According to the market intelligence collected by Oriental Commercial Corporation, in the entire Asian video tape market, the market size occupied by these shoddy R-rated films should not be underestimated.
For this ǎn. Li Xuan, a descendant of later generations, has the deepest impression. A-movies in Japan in later generations are a huge industry. Teacher Xiang Cang is for a whole generation of Chinese teenagers. Completed the earliest sexual-enlightenment. In the 1980s, the Japanese a-industry was just emerging, far from reaching the world-famous level of later generations!
From a vindicator's point of view, these dross should be criticized. As a world-renowned company, Oriental Group is naturally impossible to buy such copyrighted content to produce. But its market demand is real, so Dongfang Group needs some chess pieces to do things that it can't do by itself.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After Li Ke and Ke Lilun separated at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel. Go directly to Kwun Tong. His former eldest brother, Scar Qiang, the current resident of He Andang, is in an industrial building in Kwun Tong every afternoon.
The current Scar Qiang is no longer the majestic double-flowered red stick of He Andang. As the club's seat, those fighting and killing things. Only the younger brothers do it.
If you were someone who didn't know about Scar Qiang's illustrious record in Tsim Sha Tsui, when he first saw him, he would have thought that he was a wealthy businessman with a successful career, not a gangster. Many of Heantang's industries have been cleaned up under various names over the years.
For example, Hutchison Electronics Co., Ltd. located in Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, its predecessor was the first company founded by Li Xuan after his rebirth, Keji Electronics. Later, Li Xuan handed over the electronics factory, which started from a copycat Japanese arcade machine, to He Andang, and he established Dongfang Electronics with the first pot of gold.
After Keji Electronics became Hutchison Electronics, its main business became the manufacture of Apple computers. This Mac is not the God-bitten apple of Steve Jobs, but an electronic slot machine.
Hutchison's Macintosh not only sells underground casinos throughout Asia, but also receives orders from a large number of world-renowned casinos such as Las Vegas and Macau. Although gambling is prohibited in Hong Kong, there is no law that prohibits the manufacture of Macs.
Of course, Hutchison Electronics Co., Ltd. firmly refuses to admit that the Apple computers that appeared on the streets of Hong Kong directly flowed into the market from their own hands. All the company's products are sold overseas, and there are clear customs declaration documents to check. As for some criminals smuggling the machines sold overseas by Hutchison back to Hong Kong through illegal channels, this has nothing to do with it!
"A Ke. Why are you interested in coming here today?" When Li Ke walked into the door, Scar Qiang was putting his legs on the boss's table and trimming his fingernails with a nail clipper.
"Boss, my brother has a good business there. I wonder if you are interested?" Li Ke said straight to the point when he went to a random one on the sofa for the receptionist.
"Oh? Why did your brother suddenly think of me. This is not like his previous style!" Scar Qiang laughed.
What was Li Xuan's style before? Since the graduation of Keji Electronics, Li Xuan has tried his best to avoid entanglement with the social forces. Scar Qiang asked Li Xuan to eat several times, but he used various excuses to shirk it. After all, in his current capacity, if he is photographed by reporters chatting and laughing with the club bosses, it is definitely not positive news!
"The business of the Oriental Group is so big now, and my younger brother A Xuan is a lazy person. Now I am afraid that even he himself does not know many things! The Oriental Research Institute has just developed a new type of CD player, which is going to replace the market. video recorder!
Do you remember, Collin? It was Ah Xuan's former assistant, who had just been promoted to the vice president of Oriental Commerce not long ago. Next, I will be solely responsible for the promotion of this DVD player! I just had afternoon tea with him at the Peninsula Hotel and he had a message like me!
The Oriental Research Institute plans to authorize three companies to produce DVD players at the same time, and the other two places have been confirmed. They are the ra company of Dongfang Group and Lu Qintian's Lu's Electronics Company. There is still one last place left. If you are interested, this place can be reserved for Hutchison Electronics Co., Ltd.! "Li Ke explained the matter in a few words.
"It's a good thing that the pie is falling from the sky, but I can't be at ease when I listen to it! Ake, don't cheat on me with your brother. What are they thinking, otherwise this kind of opportunity will not be possible. It might fall on us and Andang!" Knife Scar Qiang is naturally a smart person. I understand very well that there is no free lunch in the world.
Li Ke also knew that if he didn't make his words clear, his boss wouldn't give up easily. In his big brother's mind, Li Xuan is definitely a brave, resourceful, and decisive person. In order to cut off the relationship with Andang, Li Xuan deliberately left the Apple computer as a gift.
You must know that Hutchison Electronics has developed various electronic slot machines on the basis of Apple computers, with annual sales reaching more than 100,000 units. Just this business. It will bring hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in net profit to He'an Tang.
But such a moneymaker who can get rich overnight, Li Xuan threw it out without any hesitation. And when He Andang recovered from this huge profit, Li Xuan was already someone they couldn't afford to offend!
"Boss, you should have an impression of the film company in charge of Cross Eyes. Last time, it was because of competing for an actress. It also clashed with Shengyi's blind Bing!" Li Ke said with a smile.
"His own stuff is useless, Ma Zi was pryed away by others, and finally the club came forward to help him settle it! Why do you mention him, the famous Asian film industry will not like this kind of unpopular restricted film!" Scar forced a smile and scolded, and asked with some doubts.
Cross-eyed is also considered the number one person in He Andang. He has no confidence in fighting and killing, but his brain is very active. Cross-eyed has set up a film company to shoot all kinds of movies such as mother-in-law and son-in-law messing with each other, father-in-law and daughter-in-law smashing, etc., which are very popular! It can be seen that everyone has a very dirty side in their hearts!
And one of his popular actresses was poached at a high price by a big guy from He Shengyi. And this actress is still his favorite, which is naturally a great shame for a man.
But Li Ke wasn't talking about these rotten things today, he organized the language a little before continuing to say: "If you want to replace the video recorder, you must have something good-looking, for those who spend money to buy a DVD player to choose!
On the side of genuine movies, ATV's TV series and Asian Films' movies are enough to hold up the scene. But for some movies with special needs, it is naturally difficult for a decent company like Dongfang Group to intervene, so I want to invite big shots and join the game!
If Hutchison has this intention, the Oriental Research Institute can provide all-round technical support, and Jiahua Bank will also provide loan discounts! "
Scar Qiang lowered his head and thought for a while before putting away his nail clippers and said with a serious expression, "Ake, do you think this project can be done?"
Li Ke gave his boss a wry smile. He's here to be a lobbyist today, so it's really hard to answer this question. But he also knew that this was the boss's trust in him. If he said it was feasible, Brother Qiang would definitely agree immediately.
"Boss, whether you make a profit or a loss in doing business, no one can predict! But I only know that the Dongfang Group is very optimistic about the future of the DVD player, and this project is one of the key projects in the next year! "Li Ke said seriously.
"Since it's a project that even 'God of Fortune Li' values very much~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't care about it! I guess a big company like Dongfang Group must do things after planning! You help I'll make an appointment with Colleague, and I'll invite him to dinner, so I can talk to him about how to cooperate!" Knife Scar Qiang tapped on the table and made a decision.
Li Ke nodded, then grabbed the phone and dialed Ke Lilun. Collin naturally agreed, and the two made an appointment to have dinner together at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui!
The scale of the industry is huge. After it came out in China, the annual sales exceeded 10 million units in less than five years. Of course, that was in 1997 and 1998.
But the current Asian market is actually very similar to the Chinese market ten years later, and VCRs have not yet begun to popularize on a large scale. After more than ten years of industrial take-off, the four Asian tigers have an economic level similar to that of China in the late 1990s, after 20 years of reform and development.
Therefore, if Dongfang Group can seize the opportunity that video recorders have not yet been widely popularized in Asia and seize the market in advance, they can reap a new industry with an annual profit of hundreds of millions of dollars, and this scale is enough to make Dongfang Group take it seriously. What's more, it's just an outpost of the Eastern Group, and in the future, no matter whether you choose Super or, it's the time to really compete with the VCR! (To be continued.)
