Chapter 81 Los Angeles Electronic Technology Show 4
At 8:30 a.m. on March 5, 1978, at the entrance of the Los Angeles Pavilion, all the exhibitors were queuing up to enter. As exhibitors, they enter the venue half an hour earlier than those who come to watch.
The employees of Heiyun Company have become a beautiful scenery today, and all the men are dressed in decent suits, which makes the whole person look particularly upright. The lady is more prominent, Bao Zixuan has improved the design of Joanna according to the uniform of the stewardess of later generations, and the scarf around the neck is definitely an existence beyond this era.
Heiyun Company attracts the attention of the world, and the employees of other companies are simply scumbag when they see their clothes compared to others. Black Cloud has already won the first round.
After entering the showroom, all employees perform their duties and prepare to welcome customers.
As soon as 9 o'clock arrived, the door of the exhibition hall opened, and dealers from all over the world began to enter the exhibition hall in an orderly manner. Black Cloud employees began to receive them, while Danny Green and others were each responsible for explaining the products of a region.
The first time I saw the exhibition hall of the black cloud when I entered the exhibition hall, I felt that it had a sense of design and fashion, and even surpassed Sony in the decoration of the exhibition hall.
Many arcade agents can't put it down when they see Donkey Kong and the Space Invaders, and they always want to play more. However, in order to be able to receive more customers, that person can play up to two rounds, or automatically stop after 3 minutes.
Seeing that the customer was very reluctant to hand over the game console to the next one, he began to negotiate with the business personnel of Heiyun about agency matters, in fact, the big distributor has been determined.
The goal of this time has been basically clear, that is, to occupy the market that was not able to open before, and now the production capacity can be completely released, as long as the basic workers are in place, the production capacity of the Heiyun factory can meet the expansion of the world, and the Xiangjiang factory has never stopped recruiting. Now it has nearly 10,000 employees.
Bao Zixuan was patiently explaining the product performance to customers, and suddenly found that his back was scared. Looking back, it turned out to be Phil Hawkins, after all, he is now the owner of a large company, who would slap himself like this without being big or small!
Phil Hawkins is more than just a customer for Bao Zixuan, and has now become a good friend. Neither is inherently very good for business. But there is no way, one in order to fulfill the dream, and the other has to follow the path arranged by the family.
Phil Hawkins didn't come alone today, with a beautiful woman. The beauty is very decently dressed, and there is a kind of lady style, although the appearance is not particularly beautiful, but the temperament is outstanding.
Phil Hawkins: "Bag, let me introduce you, this is my fiancée, Louise Rockefeller. ”
Hearing this surname, Bao Zixuan was stunned, after all, many people know what this surname means in the United States. Once controlled more than 90% of the oil industry in the United States, it is no wonder that Phil Hawkins's fun-loving personality would tie himself up so early, and it seems that he has to be careful to serve his fiancée.
Then he said to Louise Rockefeller: "This is what I often want you to mention, the chairman of Heiyun Company is also my good friend Bao Zixuan. ”
Bao Zixuan asked his staff to receive him and greeted Louise Rockefeller.
"Hello, Miss Rockefeller, I'm Bao Zixuan, you can call me Bao like Phil. Bao Zixuan said.
Louise Rockefeller was surprised, although the media reported how young the boss of Black Cloud was, but she didn't expect to find out that she was younger than she imagined after meeting today.
"You're welcome, bag. You can call me Louise. Louise Rockefeller replied.
Phil Hawkins: "Bag, I just watched two of your new games, and they're great, and that Transformer is so great for kids right now. I have just put $50 million into the black cloud account, and this time I can't pay you too much at once, I'm getting married, so I bought a lot of things. ”
Bao Zixuan: "It's a good thing! You can list me what products you want, and I will produce them for you as soon as possible, but you have to sign a contract with me, after all, this is the first time Heiyun has participated in this kind of large-scale exhibition." When to get married, my factory in Xiangjiang will soon produce a good thing, and you will be the first user as my wedding blessing to you. ”
Phil Hawkins: "That's great, getting married in New York on April 6th, and I'd like to ask you to be my best man." The bridesmaid is Louise's cousin, and I know you don't have a girlfriend, but her cousin is a big beauty. ”
Soon the lawyer sorted out the contract according to the number and amount of products ordered by Phil Hawkins, and at the signing table in the exhibition lobby, the two men signed their respective names.
This is the first transaction in the whole exhibition, and the contract amount is still scary.
The company ordered 15,000 Space Invaders consoles from Black Cloud for $2,800 each, or $42 million. Order 15,000 Donkey Kongs, 2,600 yuan each, $39 million. An additional order of 100,000 Audible listeners was placed at $111.75 per unit, for a value of $11.175 million. Order 500,000 Transformers for $10 million.
The first order of the show reached more than $100 million, and Phil Hawkins had already paid a $50 million deposit in advance. After the broadcast announcement, everyone looked at the Black Cloud Company with envy, how could it be so fierce,
Phil Hawkins: "Bag, the task you gave me has been completed, and my 100 million is gone." You're making money so fast, remember what you promised me, I'm looking forward to your gift. I'll have the invitation delivered to your company. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Okay! Thank you, my friend, I won't disappoint you." ”
Then Phil Hawkins left, and the Black Cloud Company has had a good start since then. There are more and more people in the exhibition hall, and there is no choice but to limit the flow, and you have to leave within 5 minutes.
After leaving the museum, I saw that my fiancée had something to say.
Phil Hawkins spoke first, "Doesn't it feel too child's play, Bao and I signed the contract without saying a few words, and I also asked the company to arrange in advance $50 million in payment to be remitted directly to the black cloud account." ”
"Actually, you don't know this young genius, and I don't think he will necessarily be worse than your great-grandfather in the future. Don't look at me with suspicion, time will tell, and that's one of the reasons why I asked him to be our best man. ”
"And to introduce Diana to the bag, I felt very fit. One was born with a keen sense of business, and the other had a brain comparable to that of Albert Einstein. ”
"You may not know it, but in fact, Bao is a recognized genius at MIT, and he can surpass others in a place where geniuses gather. This is not something that ordinary people can do, I have never done business with him when I get money and do not deliver goods, this is our business reputation, and it is also the reputation between men. ”
Hearing this, Louise Rockefeller didn't say anything, after all, Phil had already proven himself in front of his family, otherwise the family would not have agreed to their marriage. You can talk to your family, it's not impossible to think about it.
With the start of the first order of Heiyun, the broadcast of the exhibition hall successively reported which company had how many transactions, which company had signed how many contracts, and Heiyun had just received a group of dealers from the Arabian Peninsula in white robes. Fortunately, there is a salad, and she can introduce each black dollar product in detail.
In the end, when the customer made a deal, the customer purchased 43 million US dollars of game consoles, and some of the 4 styles were purchased. The space invader Black Cloud will be handed over to Taidong Co., Ltd. for production, and then earn a service fee of 3 points, which is a very fair thing.
At the same time, the customer also ordered $5 million for Audible and $2 million for Transformers. I didn't expect these big families to be so rich, and it seems that they will have to develop the Middle East market in the future.
