Chapter 689 $200 million order

On October 1st, the whole country celebrates!

Of course, in Xiangjiang, the influence of the National Day is not too deep, mainly because of the celebration ceremony held by Chinese-funded enterprises in Hong Kong such as Bank of China and China Resources Group.

On this day, Xia Yu was in a happy mood, not only because it was National Day, but also because Julian Robertson finally came.

Jiuding Building, conference room.

Xia Yu, Wang Qi, Liu Ji, Jason Greg, Julian Robertson, and representatives of the Bright Fund gathered together.

Tiger Global Fund was established, and it was time for Xia Yu to fulfill his promise, and it was also the time to finally reach cooperation.

In the UK, Xia Yu promised to bring in $100 million in investment for Julian Robertson's company.

Xia Yu didn't plan to be too exposed, after all, after the Tiger Fund grew up, it would be too eye-catching for him to be the only investor in the Tiger Fund, which might bring him a lot of risks.

It's also easy for Julian Robertson to have other ideas.

So even in order to look good, Xia Yu asked several companies to come forward together, and $100 million in funds was provided by several companies.

Bright Fund, Galaxy Fund, Jiuding Securities Company, and Jiuding Insurance Company each set up a shell company to provide an investment of US$25 million in the name of the shell company.

Four companies provide a total of $100 million in funding!

Of course, the money was actually taken out of Xia Yu's pocket, just a detour.

After the contract was signed, Julian Robertson shook hands with everyone with a smile on his face and thanked everyone one by one.

Then Wang Qi and the others left and went back to deal with the affairs of their respective companies first, while Xia Yu took Julian Robertson to visit some companies and show his muscles.

At noon, Xia Yu invited Julian Robertson to a sumptuous lunch.

It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Julian Robertson boarded the plane with a group of representatives from major companies and financial regulators.

At this point, the two major financial thugs are in place!

As long as these two future hedge fund kings grow up, Xia Yu's life will become more and more comfortable.

When night fell, Xia Yu, who was in a happy mood, went home and started a small train, and it was another beautiful night!

Xiangjiang is located in the East 8th District, and San Francisco, USA, is out of the West 8th District.

When Xiangjiang was at 12 o'clock in the morning on October 2, it was just nine o'clock in the morning on October 1 in San Francisco.

On this day, the American Electronic Technology Expo was grandly opened.

Due to the problem of the United States' status and strength in the world, many exhibitions held by the United States are actually the largest in the world, and the American Electronic Technology Expo is no exception.

Each edition attracts companies from all over the world to participate.

IBM, Motorola, Texas Instruments, Apple, Sony, Philips and other companies are all showcasing their new high-tech products at the fair.

Large semi-automatic machine tools, computers, large and small household appliances, game consoles, chips, and so on.

Electronics in the gaming sector are divided into East Zone 2 of the fair, adjacent to the computer exhibition area.

Well-known game companies such as Atari, Taidong, Nintendo, and Nangong Meng, as well as a large number of small and medium-sized game companies, have displayed their own games.

Among them, Atari and Taidong are the most popular, not to mention the largest exhibition area, and they are also watched or experienced by a large group of people.

Many of these people are game dealers from all over the world, and they come here every year to explore business opportunities.

It is precisely because of such a group of people that the latest electronic technology products can be presented to consumers at the fastest speed.

It is precisely because of this that countless small electronic technology salaries want to get the right to exhibit, as long as they enter this door, they will have the opportunity to soar!

Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. is a new company, not well-known in the world, fortunately it is the parent company of Sega when it is reported, and it is a joint exhibition with Sega company, otherwise don't want to get the current location near the central area, it is difficult to say whether there can be a booth.

The expo was led by Huo Jianning and Hayato Nakamura.

Looking at the crowded scene of Atari and Taidong not far away, a senior executive of Sega said in a somewhat envious tone: "I didn't expect that more than a year has passed, and Atari's 2600 game console and Taidong's "Space Invaders" are still so popular. ”

For the behavior of his subordinates who are not ambitious and not have their own prestige, Hayao Nakamura was a little unhappy, he said with a cold face: "You should know more about the industry information, Atari is just lucky, last year the Atari 2600 game console did not do well, and it was not completely optimized to the market, resulting in internal problems, the founder Nolan Bushwell resigned, but the Fairchild company gave up the game console manufacturing industry, so that they had time to sell while optimizing, and finally dominate the market, which is caused by the accidental factors of the market." ”

"As for the Taidong Company, although the "Space Invaders 2" launched by Taidong Company is innovative, it is taking the old road, if there is no game of our company, it will definitely be able to shine, but this time the expo, the scenery will definitely belong to us!"

Huo Jianning was also full of confidence, nodded and smiled: "That's right, don't worry, have confidence in ourselves! Maybe those people will become our customers later!"

After speaking, Huo Jianning turned around and looked at the field behind him.

There were 20 arcade machines in the huge venue, four of each of the five games, and the old arcade machines were not brought to the exhibition.

At this time, there are already two people in front of the twenty arcade machines trying to play, and each one has a special staff waiting for consultation, and game information and business information can be consulted from them.

Time passed, and the popularity of the whole expo became more and more popular, and the aisles were almost crowded, and more and more people entered the Sega company and Tiangong Electronics venue.

The quality of the five games, including "Super Mario" and "Tank Wars", is absolutely excellent, and many game lovers immediately become loyal fans as soon as they try to play them.

"Oh God, this Huaxia cube is too difficult to play, I don't believe it can't last a minute!"

A boy with obsessive-compulsive disorder grabbed the head of the chicken nest in pain, gritted his teeth and continued to pick up the game currency in the basket next to him and stuff it into it to continue playing, and the staff standing next to him smiled, not stopping it at all, wishing that the more exaggerated his performance was, the better, so that the nearby dealers who were observing could see the intuitive effect.

A group of people were also gathered in front of arcades such as "Donkey Kong", "Tank Battle", and "Pac-Man", and those who played played seriously and those who watched talked about it.

Of course, the most terrifying are the four arcade machines of Super Mario, and the atmosphere is the strongest.

Some game console dealers who have already come in have a vicious eye, and they are suddenly pleasantly surprised after trying to play.

These five games are too playable, and compared to these five games, "Space Invaders 2" is not rubbish, but it also seems ordinary!

I was even more surprised when I learned that the price of the five arcade machines was between $2,300 and $2,500!

After the surprise, he rushed to place an order, and for a while, the order came like a snowflake.

50, 100, 200, 800......

In just ten minutes, nine dealers signed orders, and the total number of orders reached 825 units.

And orders are still coming in.

Huo Jianning and Hayao Nakamura, who were still thinking about chatting just now, were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.

But the mood of the two was extremely happy.

In order to stimulate dealers to place large orders, Huo Jianning and Nakamura Hayao have always emphasized that the arcade has just been put into production, and the inventory is not much, and there are only 2,000 units in stock stored in San Francisco, on a first-come, first-served basis!

Jim, a California-based game dealer magnate, is a 40-year-old Jew with a wide range of channels, and last year he sold more than 8,000 arcade machines alone, making him a target that major game companies are trying to strive for.

In 1978, he had the foresight to win 2,000 "Space Invaders" arcade machines from Taidong Company at a very fast speed, and completed the distribution before other dealers could react, making a lot of money.

Today he came to the exhibition area of Taidong Company very early, but he saw the most conspicuous arcade of "Space Invaders 2", and he was even more disappointed after trying it, but he didn't show it for the sake of face.

finally got rid of the entanglement of the staff of Taidong Company, and found an excuse to slip away first.

When he walked to Tiangong Electronics, he only watched for three minutes and fell, and his intuition told him that last year's opportunity came again, but it was no longer Taidong Company, but Sega Company and Tiangong Electronics, which he had never heard of before.

At the beginning, he wanted to bargain, and he directly broke out the chips of 2,000 units, but Huo Jianning did not let go, and after seeing other dealers keep placing orders, he was afraid that he would run out of goods and miss the opportunity to make money, so he finally compromised.

As for other gaming companies?

Sorry, there's no need to look at it!

Not far away, the staff of Taidong Company found that something was wrong, and watched the crowd move to Tiangong Electronics, and immediately came over to inquire about the situation.

Five minutes later, the staff of Taidong Company walked back with a panicked face and reported to the person in charge of the scene, Shuto Imae.

"Manager, no, Tiangong Electronics and Sega have launched five new arcade machines, and many dealers are placing orders after trying the game, including Mr. Jim, Mr. Jim has placed an order for 2,000 units at one time!"

"Nani?"

"Two thousand?"

"Are you sure you read that right?!

Jinjiang Shuren's face was instantly solemn, and he stared at Xia Yu and confirmed again.

The subordinate immediately nodded: "I'm sure, I was listening around just now!"

Suddenly, the face of the people of Imae Shuren was as gloomy as water, and his brows were furrowed to kill mosquitoes.

"I see!"

After Imae Shuren finished speaking, he hesitated for a while and personally went to the exhibition area of Tiangong Electronics and Sega.

After quietly observing it, especially seeing Jim, who had already placed an order, was playing "Super Mario" with high spirits, Imae Shuren's face was ugly and he couldn't believe it!

Although these five arcade machines have been listed, they are only Xiangjiang, which are produced by Tiangong Electronics and taken out to Xia Lei in advance.

On the island side, Sega also has its own factory, in order to make a splash at the American Electronic Technology Expo, Sega has not yet held a new product launch conference, and has been stockpiling goods, so Taidong only knows that Sega is developing new products, but has not seen what kind of game it is.

I didn't expect Sega to come up with five brand new arcade machines at once, each with top game quality, which was a problem!

"Yo, isn't this Imae-kun, why do you have time to come to our exhibition area now?"

At this moment, Hayao Nakamura finished signing another order, raised his head and saw Imae Shuto who had not yet left, and immediately said with a smile on his face.

It's just that the tone is full of Nuoyu.

Hayao Nakamura can't forget how the former boss of Taito Company despised him at the Island Country Game Association.

The corners of Imae Shuren's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "I happened to be passing by, but I didn't expect that Sega had developed five games at once. ”

After speaking, he didn't want to see Hayato Nakamura's villainous face, so he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and left in a gloomy manner.

Looking at the somewhat flustered back of Imae Shuren, Hayao Nakamura laughed, and his heart exploded.

Just when Imae Shuren reported to the parent company, there were more and more orders from Tiangong Electric and Sega, and Huo Jianning and Nakamura Hayao signed softly.

At the end of the first day of the exhibition, Tiangong Electronics and Sega directly completed more than 15,000 orders, and the total orders of the two companies reached 35 million US dollars, and the turnover temporarily ranked first in the game exhibition area.

The fame of Tiangong Electronics and Sega suddenly exploded, and some dealers who had not yet arrived on the first day rushed to San Francisco overnight after getting the news.

The customers who have participated in the exhibition, but did not come to the Tiangong electronics exhibition area during the day, have decided to come over the next day.

Early the next morning.

The exhibition area of Tiangong Electronics and Sega Company was even more popular than the first day, and orders for 32,000 units were directly signed in one day, more than double the previous day.

Orders are placed not only by local distributors in the United States, but also by many countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and Canada.

Coupled with the orders on the first day, the total amount of orders has exceeded 100 million US dollars in two days, Huo Jianning did not hide it, and generously informed outsiders that Tiangong Electronics and Sega Company have become the focus.

After learning the news, the organizers of the expo immediately took it as a merit and hyped it up, and a large number of reporters rushed to report it.

When the expo came down for three days, the total number of orders reached 84,000 units, with a total amount of more than 200 million US dollars, which was even crazier than Taidong last year, and the turnover entered the tenth place in the Electronic Technology Expo, directly pressing Atari and Taidong under him, ranking first in the game field.

The best result achieved by Sega in the past was only the fourth place in the game field, and this time it broke out directly to the top!

The market is so big, Tiangong Electronics and Sega have eaten so much, and it is natural that other companies will have a dismal harvest.

Tiangong Electronics and Sega have directly become a thorn in the side of all companies.

No matter where they went, Huo Jianning and the others would feel the deep malice around them.

But in this regard, Huo Jianning just shrugged his shoulders and said, whocare?

He can't wait to return to Xiangjiang and report his results to the chairman!
