Chapter 31: Expanding the Ranks

Early the next morning, Bao Zixuan came to his office, because he had to go back to school tonight, and seeing that he was doing well, the school that gave him a day and a half of vacation was already broken. At MIT, the vast majority of people do not receive this kind of treatment.

Bao Zixuan was very happy to see that the financial staff had done everything he could, and he was in a good mood when he saw that every employee was in a good mood, which was the result he wanted. And Hiroshi Hashimoto and Jiro Furujo are even happier not to want to, their college technicians who have just graduated for less than two years are not only changing to management positions, but each of them received $100,000 early in the morning.

In RB, they have to work in a company for at least 10 years to reach their current position, and they are the kind that performs very well, and it will take more than 5 years to earn $100,000, and it is so important to follow the company, and they must cherish this hard-won opportunity, so that their families can live in the most prosperous area of Tokyo and enjoy the life of the rich.

After the financial staff sent the prize money, they came to Bao Zixuan's office to report the total number of orders and the amount of the two games yesterday. Bao Zixuan knows that now he must rely on the connections of large agents to develop the market, and the profit is certain. But I didn't expect the American agency to be so optimistic about these two games.

Finally, the first batch of orders totaled 128,000 units, including 56,000 units of Xiangjiang Cube with a contract value of US$140 million, and 72,000 units of Pac-Man with a contract value of US$201.6 million. The total contract amount reached 341.6 million US dollars, and the purchasing power of 300 million US dollars in this era is quite amazing, and the profit of this batch of orders has caught up with the annual profit of Xiangjiang HSBC.

After arranging everyone's work, Bao Zixuan met with John Howard in the office.

John Howard: "Boss, what are you looking for from me?" "Last night was the happiest night in so many days, and I was finally able to feed my family well. His children can also go to good schools, and after the boss told his wife about seeing him, she told him that he must speak properly and pay attention to his words and deeds, and taught him a good lesson.

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, John, I want you to be my bodyguard, and recruit more of your former colleagues and comrades-in-arms." My requirements are very simple, ability is one thing, the most important thing is that everyone must have a family, parents, wife, children. You should know what I mean. I'll pay you a high enough salary to support your family even if your wife doesn't work. But I am also responsible for my safety and that of the company. Hope you understand. ”

John Howard: "That's fine, but boss, how many people do I have to hire!"

Bao Zixuan: "In principle, the more the better, and recruit 30 people in the early stage! But it is necessary to ensure that these people have absolute trust and loyalty to the company. You have to sift through it well, the salary can be the standard for an average engineer. You are the salary scale of the head of the department. I know you've been a sergeant major, and you're capable of that. ”

John Howard: "Okay, no problem. But boss, I need to apply for a fund upfront, which is for these people's settling-in allowance. After all, many people don't live in Cambridge. ”

Bao Zixuan: "No problem, I'll give you $1 million, but the premise is that these people's families will also come to live in Cambridge, and their wives will receive a salary to take care of the family." I'm not going to ask you to go to war, but my business is getting better and better, and it's inevitable that some people will be jealous. The necessary defenses and protections are still needed. ”

John Howard took the money to recruit security guards, while Peng Yifei and Zhang Zhan were protecting Bao Zixuan. And Peng Yifei sometimes plays a part-time assistant role.

After everything was arranged, Bao Zixuan dialed Zhao Tingting's phone.

Although it is already 9 o'clock in the evening of Xiangjiang time, half of Zhao Tingting will work overtime in the company at this time, and she did not disappoint herself. Zhao Tingting picked up the phone: "Boss, I heard from the people in the North American branch that you have won a big victory this time!"

Bao Zixuan: "Yes, I didn't expect the effect to be so good this time!

Zhao Tingting: "Rest assured, we now have 3 suppliers, and our company's payment arrangement is the most timely. Now the daily production capacity can reach 1,000 units. By the end of this month, it will reach 1,500 units. ”

Bao Zixuan: "In this way, we have not developed Europe yet, and our production capacity is simply not enough." I will immediately contact the ship to transport the first batch of production equipment back to Xiangjiang. In October, it will reach the production scale of 2,000 units per day, and the proportion of components produced by itself must be increased. You give Taidong Co., Ltd. 60,000 game consoles, 30,000 each of Xiangjiang Cube and Pac-Man, and I will talk to them, and then ship them directly to the United States. In addition, the expansion of the plant will be accelerated. ”

Zhao Tingting: "Okay, boss! Our side has been completing it according to the plan you made, and we haven't dragged it back." ”

Bao Zixuan: "That's good, by the end of the year, your red envelopes will not be less." "Hahahaha

After ending the phone call with Zhao Tingting, Bao Zixuan gave Michal in RB a call, and it was time to get off work, so the call went straight to home!

Bao Zixuan: "Michal, my friend, I'm in trouble now, I'm here to ask for your help." ”

Michal: "Bao, I thought you wanted me, you wanted to drink with me! I didn't expect you to come to me for help, I'm so sad! But what's the matter! As long as I can do it, I will definitely help, who made us friends!"

Bao Zixuan: "My promotion in the United States has been very successful, and I want you to help me produce some of my products. Send me some goods in your customer share in the early stage. ”

Michal: "Say it! ”

Bao Zixuan: "60,000 units, 30,000 units each of Xiangjiang Cube and Pac-Man." ”

Michal: "It's too much, I'm going to talk to Kojima, and in an hour, you'll be calling me." ”

By the time Yuichi Kojima arrived at Michal's house, half an hour had passed. After Michal told Kojima Yuichi about the matter, Kojima Yuichi said that it was okay, but the delivery time and the price of each machine should be discussed by phone.

An hour later, the phone rang at Michal's house. Bao Zixuan: "How's it going!

Michal: "Kojima and I have discussed it, I can help you with this, who made us friends!" And how long the lead time is. ”

Bao Zixuan: "We provide motherboards, $1,000 each, how about it, and I ask that the quality of your own products must be the same, although this sentence is redundant, but I still have to say it first." Preferably it can be done within 1 month. ”

Michal didn't expect that the price quoted by Bao Zixuan was still very kind, so that they could earn 200~300 US dollars for a machine, and they could also ask other foundries to reduce their prices, so they could save a lot of money by purchasing parts in large quantities.

Michal: "The price is not very high, but I can promise you, who made us friends! By the way, the Space Invaders project will be encapsulated soon, when will you come to RB." ”

Bao Zixuan: "It's Christmas! After all, I still have some things to arrange here." When do you plan to go public? ”

Michal: "If there are no accidents, it should be in February~March next year." ”

Bao Zixuan: "There will be an electronics show in Los Angeles in March next year, otherwise we will jointly release the space invaders at this exhibition." ”

Michal: "Very good advice, I'll consider it. ”

After Bao Zixuan chatted with Michal for a few more words, he hung up the phone and asked Zhao Tingting to arrange the division and production of the order.
