Chapter 249: The Impact of Mobile Phones 4
Back at the hotel, Bao Zixuan held a simple meeting in the room. said to the people below: "Everyone has worked hard today, although there are no orders, but this is related to the strategy of the main committee." ”
"Tomorrow it is estimated that many telephone companies will come to negotiate, and we will sell and authorize one country at a time. At present, the company's signal tower is well prepared, but it is still a bit stretched for the world market. There is no strategy, it's on a first-come, first-served basis. After all, we don't want to offend any customers, but many customers can't let the black cloud wait unconditionally. ”
"This time we have several products that will face a severe test, especially the FC red and white machine. Sony and Nintendo have come out with good performance, and while we're better, we're going to have to make some compromises on price. Nintendo is not in a good state at the moment, and we are putting a coffin nail on him. ”
This is really a bit hard to accept, especially the Nintendo-born Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto hats. But now, my lords, the survival of the fittest is either a situation where you die or I live. This time the price of our home console is set at $88 and 3 game cartridges are given away.
Hearing that the price is so cheap, everyone knows that this time the boss wants to be serious. In fact, even if it is sold for $109 according to the original plan, the sales will not be too bad, but in order not to give Nintendo a chance, Bao Zixuan decided to fight a price war with Sony-Nintendo for the first time. Just don't give Nintendo a chance, because he knows that this company is the biggest threat to Black Cloud in terms of games.
Then some other product promotion details were adjusted in order to increase sales and awareness. The last time at the Berlin exhibition, Heiyuntuo's big sales were not good, this time Baozixuan does not allow any mistakes, and must establish a leading position in the industry.
At the same time, other companies are also discussing how to negotiate with the black cloud and deal with the black cloud suppression. Sony Akio Morita and Nintendo Yamauchi Hiroshi were also chatting in the hotel.
Akio Morita said: "Yamauchi-san, judging from today's results, the response of our game consoles is still good, but what I am most worried about is that there are too few games that match the game consoles, and you need to hurry up and strive to buy more game copyrights in this regard." ”
Hiroshi Yamauchi also has a hard time saying that most of the good games in the entire game market are developed by Heiyun, not Heiyun himself develops some excellent games and is willing to cooperate with Heiyun, they give money quite generous and refreshing. However, Nintendo does not have such high sales and financial reserves, and it is really not easy to impress game development companies.
Hiroshi Yamauchi: "I'll be sure to hurry up, but I still hope that Sony will give me some financial support. ”
Hearing this, Akio Morita felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and Sony's capital flow was not very sufficient. They now have to compete not only with Heiyun in the international market, but also with Panasonic, Toshiba and other companies at home. As a result, Sony's R&D funding is growing, while sales are not very high.
However, Akio Morita knew that Nintendo would not benefit from lying down Sony. It can still help without affecting Sony's operations. said: "No problem, but this time Sony can only guarantee the loan to Nintendo, after all, Sony's financial situation is not very good." ”
Hearing that he could vouch for it, Yamauchi didn't say much. After all, in this era, RB companies look at the scenery, but the investment is also very huge, especially after the black cloud mobile phone is the first to be commercialized, RB companies will definitely follow up and buy.
Not only RB companies, but also the executives of telephone companies around the world rushed to Los Angeles as soon as they received the news. Originally, the company only planned to let the purchasing manager come over, but after reporting through the media and his subordinates, they all chose to come quickly, for fear that they would not have anything to do when they came late. At this time, it is necessary to compete for the first place, build the signal tower as soon as possible, and operate it as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, when the employees of Heiyun were queuing up to enter the venue. You can see that many telephone company personnel are talking to them, just to negotiate with Heiyun as soon as possible, and then get the equipment first.
As soon as 9 o'clock arrived, the black cloud exhibition hall was already crowded. As a last resort, Bao Zixuan could only ask the exhibition organizer for help, and the organizer handed over all the reception halls to Heiyun for use. Last night, it was estimated that many people would come to Heiyun to negotiate, but what everyone didn't expect was that it would be so popular.
Seeing the grand occasion of the Black Cloud Exhibition Hall, Sony, Panasonic and other companies knew that Bao Zixuan had made money again. Why is this kid so good every time, he just saw a little downward trend in Berlin, and he eased up again.
The Pierre-Poche family itself runs a telephone company, although its share in France has always been small. It has been suppressed by France Telecom for a long time, and the telecommunications department was not under the management of Pierre Poche. However, considering that he had some friendship with Bao Zixuan, he asked him to negotiate on behalf of the family.
Seeing that it was Pierre Poche, Bao Zixuan smiled and said, "Hello! Mr. Poche, long time no see." Why did you come to the United States to watch the electronics show?"
That is, Pierre Poche reported his name and saw Bao Zixuan so soon. Otherwise, he would really have to queue up, which made him very touched and face-saving, at least what the family could not do, he Pierre Poche could do.
Pierre Poche: "Bag, isn't there something I need you to help with!"
Bao Zixuan heard Pierre Poche's name and knew what was going on, so he said to him: "Pierre, we are friends, if there is any problem, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will never postpone it." ”
Pierre Poche: "My family also runs a phone business, so I wanted to work with the Black Cloud mobile department. Purchase your company's cell tower equipment and cell phones. ”
In fact, Bao Zixuan has long known that he also wants to cultivate a group of strategic partners in each country. The French Poche family was very suitable, so he said to his subordinates: "Inform all the people in the company that the French mobile phone business should not be negotiated with other companies." ”
Hearing this, the two young men behind Pierre Poche were shocked, what kind of friendship did their youngest uncle have with each other, and they could actually make the other party do business with them with a single sentence.
Bao Zixuan continued: "At present, the price of Heiyun's signal towers is uniform all over the world, but I will supply it to France as soon as possible. However, the first batch can only give you 10 city places, I hope you understand. ”
I didn't expect Bao Zixuan to give face so much, which made Pierre Poche very moved. Smiled and said to him, "Thank you very much, Bao." We work well together. ”
When they came back, they even negotiated to buy Black Cloud's signal tower products at a premium, but they didn't expect Pierre Poche to come and get it all done, and it seemed that they were still acquaintances.
Bao Zixuan: "Happy cooperation, originally you came over, I want to treat you to a drink, but it may not be possible in the near future." When I go to France in a while, we'll get together. But when the time comes, I'll ask you to invite me. ”
Pierre Poche didn't expect Bao Zixuan to give face so much, and said with a smile: "No problem, France is also my territory." Don't be polite to me wherever you go. ”
At this time, someone came to find Bao Zixuan, there were too many companies to negotiate today, and after apologizing to Pierre Poche, he came to another customer.
As the most accomplished man of the third generation of the Poche family, Robert Poche has always disliked his uncle. I didn't expect that the employees of Heiyun who came over by themselves were not well received, and the boss of the other party actually came forward in person. I got things done in one sentence, and it seems that I have to get to know my uncle anew now.
It seems that the uncle and Bao Zixuan have a deep friendship, and his father has made it clear that he will take over the position of head of the family. The most promising thing in their generation is themselves, which makes Robert Poche think that he still has to have a good relationship with his uncle, and he must respect when he should be respected, and he can't slack off.
Looking at his nephew's expression, Pierre Poche seemed to know something. But everyone is a smart person, just get to the end of everything, and said with a smile: "Wait for the next time Bao Zixuan goes to France, you and I will go with us when we meet." ”
Hearing that his uncle was willing to take him, Robert Poche was very moved and said, "Thank you, uncle. ”
Bao Zixuan didn't know that now his small actions could actually determine the dynamics of the personnel relationship of a big family in France. This made him really a little incomprehensible and confused after he knew.
