Chapter 161: Science and Technology Exhibition

Henry got back the blueprints for the Burj Al Arab and had plans to build a Burj Al Arab on Malibu Beach on the west coast of California! Malibu is located northwest of Los Angeles City, adjacent to Hollywood, with a 21-mile coastline and some of the most beautiful ocean views in the world, making it an excellent vacation destination for celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life. Historically, it was the territory of Native American tribes, and "Malibu" Indian means "roaring beach", so it's also a surfer's paradise!!

In addition, as far as Henry knows, the residence of the male number one in the movie "Iron Man" is located in Malibu! Tens of millions of mansions can be said to abound here! Henry built a seven-star hotel here, just in time to attract the arrival of the rich!!

However, there is no hurry, because Henry is already very busy at the moment.

Tenders for the design of the Williams Center have begun, and Henry is discussing with his own companies how to build the corporate headquarters and connect all the headquarters, and each company's headquarters building will be different, recognizable, and unique and simple to become the company's signature. At a glance, you can tell what company this building belongs to!

Each company's requirements for the headquarters building will be summarized to Henry, who will personally review it, and modify it according to his own ideas, and then tell the requirements to the design company, and the design company will design according to the requirements, and Henry will use it if he is satisfied!

First of all, Henry felt that with Williams Lab as the center, the stars and the moon all formed a multi-layered ring shape. In order to maintain their independence, each building is not connected to each other. But glass tunnels will be built to connect Williams Labs.

The streets formed between the rings are the Commercial Street and the Venture Street!

Outside of this ring, hospitals, hotels, supermarkets and more will be built, all of which will form the Williams Center!

Henry expects to build at least forty headquarters buildings himself. There are big and small. It's at least twice as many as the 19 buildings at Rockefeller Center, and the number of towers in Williams Center is a spectacular sight!!

The general concept, Henry has already thought about it, and what exactly it will look like depends on the level of the designer!

Henry then announced the request, and the world's major design companies were red-eyed and sent their best designers to design it. And many companies have even pushed off other design work and gone all out......

During this time, the Cisco certification exam begins. Henry paid special attention to it and reminded the employees to step up the crackdown on cheating. After that, Henry represented Silicon Valley Electronics Group at the American Electronics Technology Show in Los Angeles!

The show will be held in the lobby of the hotel, and each company will have a chance to showcase their products on stage!

Henry's sudden arrival immediately made the people who came to participate in the science and technology exhibition enthusiastic!

"Mr. Henry Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you, and you're very welcome to the American Electronic Technology Show in Los Angeles!" said the chairman of the organizer with three or four people. Say hello to Henry.

"Hello!" Henry nodded, said a brief hello to them, and then went to the seat where the Silicon Valley Electronics Group was located.

After sitting, Henry found a group of Asian faces sitting in a row on the right-hand side.

Henry turned his head to Harrison, the CEO of Silicon Valley Electronics Group, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "What country are those people from?"

"Japan," Harrison added, "seems to be a representative of Sony!"

"Sony?" Henry muttered to himself, suddenly thinking of something, and laughed again.

And at this time, the science and technology exhibition has begun.

Each company has 10 minutes to explain their products, and the product that Silicon Valley Electronics Group will be showcasing this time is a microhard drive, which will be the smallest hard drive in the world, only 1 inch!!

The previous companies did not have much to show on stage, and after an hour, it was finally the turn of Silicon Valley Electronics Group.

Henry walked up to the stage with a microhard drive!

"Hello everyone, on behalf of Silicon Valley Electronics Group, I would like to introduce to you a new product developed by our company! This product will definitely shock you, why do you say that?" Henry paused deliberately, swept his eyes around the audience, and said loudly: "Just because it broke the world record......"

As he spoke, Henry took out the microhard drive and held it up in front of him, and said with a smile: "Do you think this thing is a little familiar?"

"Yes, it will indeed look familiar to you, because it is the hard drive you are familiar with!!"

As soon as Henry's words were finished, there was an uproar in the audience.

"How is it possible? How can the hard drive be so small?!!"

"yes, it's too small!"

"What did the Silicon Valley Electronics Group do to turn the hard drive into such a small !!"

“……”

Henry gestured for everyone to be quiet. Later, he said: "This hard drive is only 1 inch in size, but the storage capacity has reached 50 MB! Micro hard disk is small, but the storage capacity is larger than memory, flash card, very suitable for cameras, mobile phones and other small electronic products, must have a great market competitive advantage!! here, I want to reveal to you a little, on May 1st, Silicon Valley Electronics Group will use micro hard disk to make an innovative electronic product! The electronic product is released, will definitely change the way of life of human beings!"

"It will definitely !!," Henry said at the end, emphasizing in particular affirmativeness.

Then, with a smile on his face, Henry calmly stepped off the stage.

The major companies in the audience were shocked by the micro-hard disk for a while, it can be said that the Silicon Valley Electronics Group was in the limelight at this science and technology exhibition, and it is conceivable that the front-page news of the next day must be indispensable to the micro-hard disk of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group!!

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

Japanese companies simply hate Silicon Valley Electronics Group. Not only did they dig a lot of their talents, but also talked to them on hard drives. Memory, LCD screens and other products to grab business, resulting in a sharp decline in the company's performance. Now, Silicon Valley Electronics Group has launched a microhard drive, which has taken the limelight and made the company's reputation greater. It's even more difficult to deal with in the future!

When Henry returned to his seat. Some Sony representatives on the right snorted coldly in disberence, revealing provocative eyes.

Coincidentally, at this time, the host announced that a representative of Sony had been invited to the stage to present the product. The Sony representative stood up, with a look of pride on his face, and gestured a thumbs-up to Henry, the meaning of which was obvious, "Yours, no!

Cao. Why do you still despise me?Wait for Lao Tzu MP3 to come out,Hit you Sony Walkman like a dog!!

A trace of disdain and a sneer flashed across Henry's face.

After the representative of Sony came to the stage, he looked proud and said to everyone in the audience: "Hello everyone. My name is Ichiro Yamada, and our Sony company came to participate in the electronic technology exhibition this time The product is the latest Sony Walkman - MiniDisc, referred to as MD, and we use magnetic disc as the storage medium. After three years of research and development, we at Sony have finally combined traditional disk technology with modern optical technology to create a magnetic disc with a sound quality very close to that of a CD. However, the MiniDisc Walkman is smaller than the CD Walkman, and there is no musical pause during exercise!!

"Therefore, our Sony MiniDisc Walkman will be the best Walkman of the moment!!"

Ichiro Yamada, the representative of Sony Corporation, laughed unappetly.

At this time, many companies in the audience couldn't help but be shocked by the MiniDisc Walkman, and secretly said, Sony is really awesome, others are still using CDs, it actually uses magnetic discs......

After having had enough of vanity, the Sony representative loudly announced: "Our MiniDisc Walkman will be officially released on May 1st, and the price of each unit will be only $500!!"

When Henry saw this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's so good, it's actually the same day as the MP3 release, I don't know how the dead word is written!! you sell it for $500, and the MP3 of Silicon Valley Electronics Group sells for $499, which not only disgusts Sony, but also robs its users!!

"In the U.S., MP3 is going to make the MiniDisc Walkman a mess!"

At this time, Ichiro Yamada, the representative of Sony, walked down, and when he passed by Henry's side, he glanced at it proudly!

Henry shook his head and laughed, as did Harrison, CEO of Silicon Valley Electronics Group.

Harrison smiled at Henry: "Chairman, I think that on May 1st, Sony's face will be very 'wonderful'!"

"Needless to say," said Henry, "absolutely wonderful......

Harrison and Henry looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh!

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the science and technology exhibition ended, and the judges' scores came out.

The microdisk received a score of 10 and ranked first, while the MiniDisc Walkman scored 9 and ranked second......

After receiving the award and leaving the hotel, someone came over to contact Henry.

"Hello, Mr. Henry Williams, I'm Johnny Edie, a director of Kodak!"

"Hello, Mr. Johnny Edie!" Hearing that he was a director of Kodak, Henry's heart lit up and he understood what he was looking for himself.

"Mr. Williams, I just saw your SVC microhard drive at the tech show, and I think it's very good, as you said, very suitable for camera products. Therefore, we at Kodak want to cooperate with Silicon Valley Electronics Group to launch a digital hard disk camera!"

"Well, that's fine, or find a place and we'll talk about it!" laughed Henry.

"Of course!" Johnny Edie nodded.

Later, the two of them were in a nearby high-end hotel in addition to Harrison, CEO of Silicon Valley Electronics Group, while ordering food and discussing business.

"At the moment, we have limited production of microhard drives and they are expensive. So, if Kodak wants to buy it, we're only going to be able to offer 10,000 microdrives per month for the time being, and the price is $200 per microdrive!"

Johnny Edie frowned and said, "Let's not talk about the production, but the price is a bit expensive." Mr. Williams, you see, the microhard drive is so small, why can't it cost $200......"

"Mr. Johnny Edie, maybe you didn't understand that it's because microhard drives are small that they're expensive. In order to manufacture micro-hard disks, we have developed a lot of technology, and the R&D expenses alone are an astronomical amount of money...... Mr. Johnny Edie, do you think that's true?" asked Henry, smiling.

Johnny Edie deliberately picked up his glass and tasted the wine slowly, pretending not to hear.

After a while, Johnny Edie put down his glass and said, "Mr. Williams, our Kodak company is full of sincerity, and we really want to cooperate with Silicon Valley Electronics Group.

Small profits but quick turnover? The head is caught in the door? Micro hard disks can be said to be dealing with a monopoly position at present, and if they don't take the opportunity to make money at high prices, they will engage in small profits but quick turnover? Kodak has also been the boss in the field of cameras for a long time, and he has an indispensable illness, and he doesn't look at who the person sitting in front of him is!

"Mr. Johnny Edie, $200 a microhard drive, no more, no less, no concession! If you Kodak want to cooperate, let's continue to talk, if you don't want to cooperate, then don't talk about it!" Henry said firmly.

Johnny Edie's face turned a little red, and he couldn't stand Henry's tone, so he held back the anger in his heart and said, "Isn't the price !!going down at all?"

"Don't drop !!," Henry said in a deep voice. Henry's original intention was to promote the micro-hard disk and do hungry marketing, and Kodak made cameras, and there was no conflict with his company's products for the time being, so he was willing to talk to him, but Kodak was smart and thought that if the sales volume was large, it would make the Silicon Valley Electronics Group bow its head and sell the micro-hard disk cheaply. But this is never possible!

What's wrong with Kodak, I won't sell you micro hard disks~!

Johnny Edie didn't have a good temper, so he immediately stood up and said, "Okay, Mr. Williams, it seems that our Kodak company can't cooperate with your company, and I will leave!!"

"Don't send it!"

Johnny Edie snorted, slammed the door and left.

Harrison whispered: "Chairman, actually, I think we can buy Carl Zeiss and develop our own camera ......"

"Well," Henry nodded, "Carl Zeiss is a German company that manufactures optical systems, industrial measuring instruments and medical equipment, and is a world-class company that manufactures camera lenses, and a lot of Sony's camera technology comes from Carl Zeiss company!! so you send someone to contact them, and they seem to have the intention of selling the company! You tell them that Silicon Valley Electronics Group is willing to buy their company at a premium of 10%......"

"yes, I see!" Harrison nodded.
