......
In '77, the GDP of the United States was as high as 2 trillion dollars, and this year, the GDP of RB was 720 billion, Germany 590 billion, France 4100, and Britain 260 billion. The above are the top five countries in the world, and the last four together cannot compare to the first place.
Coupled with the old United States' hobby of overdraft consumption in advance, the market here is the world's largest consumer market from the beginning of the 20th century to the new century, and for arcade machines, the RB market is still in its infancy, and the United States is currently almost all the market.
For the selection of the general dealer, in fact, it is not about who can make the greatest profit, but to choose a person who can sell a large number of goods in the shortest time and quickly open the market.
If there are only 2 options, one can sell 10,000 units a year, but only 10% of the profit will be charged. The other one can sell 100,000 sets, but charge half the profit. Then Xu Zhi will not hesitate to choose the latter, because in the end, he can not only obtain higher profits, but also obtain a higher market share.
What's more, if it can sell more, it means that its resources, channels, and transportation capacity are much stronger. Dealers not only have a wide range of channels, but also must have a certain influence in the local area, the best relationship with the government is also good, when some problems occur, must be quickly solved, this kind of thing can only be solved by the head snake, and the strong dragon is not possible.
The method Xu Zhi chose was to choose these powerful suppliers, and they would be provided with arcade machines in the future, which ones would sell the fastest, and then refer to the strength behind them, and finally decide who would be the general distributor in the United States.
......
After working hard for a week, I finally got an order for 1,500 units, and more than 20 dealers, except for a few more atmospheric, the others selectively ordered a few dozen units, Xu Zhi ignored them directly, and only signed a contract with 9 of them.
However, these people are not fools, the biggest problem in negotiation is the payment method, Xu Zhi's factory is in Xiangjiang, these people can't come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars because of an exhibition, in case they want to be cheated, where to find someone?
In the end, both sides could only take a step back, and Xu Zhi would first ship the goods to the United States, and all the previous costs would be borne by Xu Zhi. But after these machines arrive, and then make sure that there is no quality problem, all dealers must also pay in full immediately, which can also relieve the financial pressure, after all, the normal model is generally to pay the deposit first, and then have the balance after a few months.
Of course, Xu Zhi can also take out the proof of the funds of the bank that spent the money, but if a sum of money is withdrawn from it as collateral, then the money must be frozen, and this result is of the same nature as Xu Zhi's own spending money to pay first, not to mention that it takes a long time to go to the bank to go through the procedures.
The funds in Midea's account are simply not enough to pay for 1,500 arcade machines first, Xu Zhi can only remit a sum of money from the account in the United States, and the most troublesome thing is that the foundry contract for the main board has not yet been negotiated, but the good news is that the design of Deyi has been completed, and Xu Zhi was invited to go again.
Deyi values this collaboration very much, because their employees also like to play Xiangjiang Cube, and so on, this game will definitely perform well in the future. To this end, Deyi specially arranged a Mercedes-Benz luxury car to come to the hotel to greet Xu Zhi and others.
"I'm so happy to see you again!" Matthew walked over, made a surprise attack, and hugged Xu Zhi.
"OK, thank you!" Xu Zhi was hugged by a fierce bear, almost not suffocated, Matthew's height is very high, almost one meter ninety, against Xu Zhi, it is indeed a little bear.
After letting go, Matthew walked to the back of the desk, took out a palm-sized motherboard from the drawer, and handed it to Xu Zhidao: "Xu, this is our latest motherboard, which uses the most common Moss 6502 chip. ”
Xu Zhi weighed it in his hand a few times, and sighed in his heart: "This is a real high-tech product!"
The motherboard that was manually soldered before, the shape is simply miserable, compared to the current one, it is simply Chery Riich against Bentley, Zotye against Porsche!
Xu Zhi asked again: "Is there any problem in terms of performance?"
Matthew nodded and smiled: "The craftsmanship on this motherboard is not complicated, we have absolute confidence that there will be no problems, in fact, the arcade machine you sent, our technician has replaced it with a new chip, if you are interested, you can go and play it yourself!"
Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and have a look." ”
Under the leadership of the assistant, Xu Zhi and Matthew came to the gym on the first floor, Lao Mei's company is still humanized, and there is a special gym in the factory, of course, it is basically only used by the white-collar class.
When a few people came to the place, several employees were playing the game of Xiangjiang Cube, and when they saw Matthew and others coming, they immediately said that they wanted to drink some water or make it easier.
Xu Zhi stepped forward and played in person, the Xiangjiang cube of the arcade machine is actually not difficult to choose this item at all, after all, it is not a home game machine, the sales target of the arcade machine is grocers or game halls or even movie theaters all over the United States, being able to make money is the only purpose, if there is a choice, then who will choose the hard mode?
The block keeps falling from above, Xu Zhi is the "creator" of this game, when he is in Xiangjiang, he will play for a while when he is bored, coupled with the training of his previous life, he is much stronger than these novices who have only been in contact for a few days, everyone was surprised to watch Xu Zhi talk and laugh and play the game, until ten minutes later, the speed of the block falling was too fast, so fast that the brain couldn't react, and finally, after a few mistakes: GAMEOVER!
Xu Zhi rubbed his aching fingers and shoulders, and said with a smile: "I haven't played for a long time, and I'm a little handy." ”
Matthew ignored Xu Zhi's pretense and signaled to the people around him, the engineer immediately turned off the power, opened the cover behind the machine, and said to Xu Zhi: "Mr. Xu, we have optimized the latest motherboard, and in terms of heat control, it is much stronger than before." ”
Xu Zhi also squatted down and touched the temperature inside with his hand, which was indeed much better than when he was in Xiangjiang.
Matthew laughs: "Our optimization is not only for the chip, but also for the operation of the display, now the power consumption of this machine is only 70% of the previous one, if it is operated 24 hours a day, the electricity bill can be saved a lot." ”
"Looks like I've got the right partner. Xu Zhi said with a smile, in fact, that little electricity is nothing, but the electricity consumption is less, which means that the heat control is better, for an electronic product, heat dissipation is always an eternal problem.
Matthew nodded: "Of course, we will never stop on the road of pursuing high-tech and environmental protection. ”
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the new arcade machine, Xu Zhi and Matthew returned to the office.
Xu Zhi asked, "I don't know how much Deyi can produce in a day for our motherboard?"
Matthew thought for a while and said: "In fact, Mr. Xu doesn't have to worry about the production speed of the chip, the main problem is that we need to slowly debug the production line, as long as the debugging is good?"
Xu Zhi asked, "How long does it take to debug?"
Matthew said: "This is very complicated, the production of the motherboard involves dozens of processes, and it is conservatively estimated that it may take a few days for the first time, of course, as long as it is produced once and has experience, then it will be much faster in the future." ”
"What is the price of a motherboard?" asked Xu Zhi casually.
Matthew said with a smile: "It depends on how much Xu Sheng's order is, industrialized products actually depend on the order volume, and the more produced, the lower the amortized cost." ”
Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Xiangjiang cube is 8,000 yuan, and the snake is 2,000 yuan, I hope Deyi can give me a sincere offer!"
When Matthew heard that there were 10,000 orders, he smiled happily: "Okay, no problem, Xu, a new top-notch steak restaurant has opened in downtown San Francisco, we can go there to sell lunch, as for the price, the people below have to calculate it, and when we come back after lunch, it should be about the same." ”
"Good. Xu Zhi nodded and agreed, this kind of multi-million dollar order can't be decided by two people casually, and this kind of thing can't be rushed.
