181 New Competitors

When Secretary Zhang heard these conditions, he said with a smile: "Then thank you Mr. Xu, I will report this matter immediately, and once there is a reply from above, I will contact Mr. Xu immediately!"

Xu Zhidao: "That's hard Secretary Zhang!"

......

In this era, there is an urgent shortage of foreign exchange in the mainland, and basically foreign capital can pass through as long as it does not enter the market to earn foreign exchange from the mainland.

A lot of Hong Kong capital and overseas Chinese capital have entered the mainland to build hotels, but the hotel actually earns the money of overseas tourists, and this kind of supporting investment can also attract more overseas tourists and earn foreign exchange for the country.

Coca-Cola also re-entered the mainland market in '78, but the government also severely restricted sales channels and only allowed it to sell to foreign tourists.

As with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's plan to invest in a five-star hotel in Shenhai City, investment is not a problem at all, but the central government may want to use the money elsewhere.

However, the golf course, Xu Zhi himself is not too sure, after all, the required area is too large, in order to increase the bargaining chips agreed above, he is really willing to invest 200 million Hong Kong dollars or even more, Xu Zhi does not know how the future of the deep sea city will develop, but it is sure to expand from the current site, he will build a golf course 3km away from the current city center, the future will inevitably be a golden land, which is also the biggest foundation for his own preparation for Evergrande real estate, once the project is really approved by the central government, this land will become Evergrande's eternal cornucopia!

Shenhai City is only a poor place now, but in the future, it will become a metropolis comparable to Shanghai and Kyoto. The same conditions come to Shanghai, even if the government agrees, the place arranged will definitely not be a prosperous place, and only Shenhai City will have the opportunity to obtain such a large area of future golden land!

More importantly, this year's Shenhai City is seriously short of funds, resulting in even if there are policies, all kinds of development and reform because of lack of money and difficult to move an inch, wait until next year Xiangjiang real estate developers will extend their claws to Shenhai City, build houses in Luohu District, and sell them to the people of Xiangjiang, this move has attracted a lot of funds for the SAR government.

Once the Shenhai Municipal Government is no longer short of money, and also knows the charm of the land, Xu Zhi's golf course will not be able to talk about the central government, even Shenhai City!

The negotiation and subsequent construction of the fan factory naturally do not need Xu Zhilai to worry about, Yao Mingcheng's professional legal team is ready to start from Xiangjiang and negotiate the details with the industrial district government, and the factory can be officially built.

......

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, in June, Midea's arcade sales in the North American market began to stabilize, and even began to decline, and in the Japanese market, Sony played its best channel capabilities, tank battles made Sony make a lot of money, but Pac-Man and history, in Japan completely hit the streets, Sony has nearly 10,000 Pac-Man motherboards in its hands, but limited by the agreement with the United States, can not be sold outside Japan, more importantly, Sony and the United States of the exclusive distribution contract are based on the sales of the United States market to set a minimum sales limit, even if Sony can not sell one, the money must be out。

In order to stop the loss, Morita Schov personally flew to Xiangjiang.

The secretary made two cups of tea for the two and then withdrew, Xu Zhi took a sip and said with a smile: "I heard that Sony acquired Nintendo, so Sony is also ready to enter the game industry?"

Because of the emergence of Xu Zhi, the history of this game industry has undergone a serious orbital deflection.

The emergence of classic games such as Xiangjiang Cube, Pac-Man, and Tank Battle has stimulated the rapid development of the arcade market, in which profit insiders are jealous, and countless companies have stepped into the industry to try to replicate the miracle of Midea.

But for Nintendo, it is a more nightmare era, and as in the original history, after seeing the space invaders of the Taito company get huge profits, Nintendo also set its sights on the arcade industry, but in a hurry to get rid of huge debts, Nintendo's games are directly copied from the space invaders' model.

But when the tank battle appeared at the end of last year, the space invaders were also completely defeated, and several Nintendo games were all hit the streets, and the company suffered serious losses.

The only chance to rise was Yokoi's handheld game console plan, but the opportunity was missed due to the short-sightedness of the top management, until Midea launched the Gameboy, which sold more than two million units a month, which brought a crisis of destruction to the top management of Nintendo.

Although in fact, Midea has long had a plan for a handheld, but a group of Nintendo's shareholders don't know, they only know that Yokoi Junhei put forward a handheld plan and was denied by the company, and then went to Midea Electronics in Xiangjiang, and Gameboy came out!

In the end, several Nintendo executives were forced to resign, and the new president was worried about this mess, but received a request for acquisition from Sony!

Morita Schoo smiled and said: "The game industry has begun to flourish, which can be seen from the rise of your company, Sony is committed to providing the most perfect electronic products for the people of the world, in the game this piece of Midea electronics is our predecessor of Sony, I hope Mr. Xu can take more care in the future!"

Xu Zhidao: "Mr. Morita, do you think I will cultivate an enemy?"

Morita Schoo smiled and said: "I can understand Mr. Xu's concerns, but in fact, the current game market is still very large, we can make the market bigger together, at present, it has not yet reached the stage of competition! ”

"Kind of makes sense. Xu Zhi smiled and said: "But since we have signed a contract, then naturally the contract shall prevail, and you don't want to pay if Pac-Man does not sell well in Japan, so if it really explodes, will you give me more extra shares?"

Pac-Man motherboards are all produced by Sony itself, and the cost is estimated to be about $100,000 a piece, 10,000 pieces is almost more than a million dollars, which seems to be a lot, but it's nothing to Sony, the key is the exclusive distribution contract, because Pac-Man is popular in the United States, according to the contract, Sony's minimum guaranteed sales in Japan is 30,000 units, and Sony pays $24 million within 30,000 units, and after 30,000 units, Midea takes $600 from each additional arcade machine. And now Pac-Man is hitting the streets in Japan, and if it follows the contract, Sony will have to lose $24 million.

"Western countries value contracts, but we pay more attention to human favors in the East, Mr. Xu, 24 million US dollars is not much, but I don't want it to appear in our company's annual report, I can promise you this money I will compensate you from other aspects." ”

"What aspect?" asked Xu Zhixiao.

"It depends on what Mr. Xu needs, you can make a list, we can negotiate in the future, if you are not satisfied, the cash handover is also possible, but it will take a while to make this money a normal business," Morita said. ”

"I don't need cash, I know Sony has a lot of properties in Tokyo, why don't you transfer these properties to me?" Xu Zhi said.

Morita Shaofu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, no problem." ”

Xu Zhi smiled with satisfaction, now that Japanese real estate has not entered the crazy stage of the 80s, it is not bad to use the money from Sony to buy Japanese properties this time.

Morita Shaofu said again: "Mr. Xu, I still want to obtain a patent right to use Midea Electronics this time?"

Xu Zhi asked, "What patent?"

Morita Schov said: "Cross key!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Then Sony decided to make a home game console or a handheld console?"

Morita Schaufu said: "Considering the current hegemony of Midea Electronics in the field of handheld computers, in order to show the goodwill of cooperation, as long as we can obtain D-pad patents, we Sony will not enter the field, buy D-pad patents, for home game consoles, the current overlord in this field is the United States Atari Company, we enter the field of home game consoles, will not infringe on the market of Midea Electronics!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "Mr. Morita, since I can invent the cross key, do you think I will only care about the handheld?"

Morita Shaofu was not surprised after hearing this, and said: "So, Midea Electronics is also ready to enter the field of home game consoles?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "That's right, so Mr. Sheng Tian should know my answer!"

Morita Shofu said: "Is there really no possibility of cooperation at all?"

"No!" Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "This is related to the strategic layout of my company, the cross key patent is the most important part of it, it is impossible for us to sell it, Mr. Sheng Tian told me the same thing last time, right?"

After Midea was preparing to enter the field of color TVs and acquired one of the largest color TV assembly factories in Xiangjiang, Xu Zhi contacted Morita Sauff, intending to obtain some patent authorizations for color picture tubes and make technical reserves for opening factories in the mainland in the future.

There are many types of color tubes, and domestic giants such as Europe, America, and Japan use different technologies, and patent barriers are strict, and even General Electric, a research and development giant, has fallen more in the field of color tubes.

This kind of technology that has existed for decades, Xu Zhi has no ability to study at all, but it is good if he can buy a license, but the color tube is one of Sony's flagship products, and Morita Shaofu rejected Xu Zhi for this reason.

Morita Schofu said with some pity: "That's a pity! I wonder when Midea's family game console will be released?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Mr. Shengtian, this is our company's secret. ”

Morita Schofu said: "I'm sorry, I was reckless, I just want to see what new ideas Xu Sheng has, and it is really admirable to be able to research a product like a cross key! No wonder Midea can rise so quickly." ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Mr. Morita has won the award, compared to Sony, the beauty is still far behind!"

Sony's strength lies in the research and development of numerous technology patents, from the very beginning of tape recorders, transistor recorders, transistor televisions, transistor small tape recorders, home tape recorders, the world's first generation of single-gun three-beam color picture tubes, etc......

In the middle of this year, Sony will release its first Walkman, which will sell 200 million units in the next decade, and the following innovations will be overwhelming.

In the field of games, the only thing Sony lacks is good ideas, because of the influence of Xu Zhi, now Sony has acquired Nintendo, although there is no Yokoi Junhei, but a large number of game professionals have also made up for Sony's last shortcoming.

In this regard, Xu Zhi had to guard against it!
