Chapter 397: Wealth does not return to its hometown, like brocade clothes walking at night
The night after the celebration reception.
"I thought you didn't need to show off for a deep guy like you...... How do you feel, before, very depressed look. ”
Han Ting leaned on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa and teased in a tone that saw through Gu Biao's essence.
"This kind of coercion can't be made public, taken out, and pretended. The first time I used it, the foreign devil still can't see through it, so next time, maybe it can still be used, the same trick, and another vote. ”
Gu Biao gasped because of the depression of the brocade night, and sadly analyzed himself,
"So, I can only show off in private. Let people, know, I'm awesome. I know, my first hand, not luck, the win, I opened, perspective, can see through the dice. ”
Han Ting was angry and funny: "Okay, I know you're amazing." I can see through you, you can use me as the crown of the monkey, and when you want to enjoy yourself, take it out and take a look. ”
Gu: "What is this called, I have always respected you." Besides, this time you didn't take advantage of it, the sales of Tiankun have opened, and your production capacity is full. ”
"I've had enough to eat. ”
Gu Biao's respect for her still warmed Han Ting's heart, and she felt that she didn't hurt this child in vain.
This time, Gu Biao obviously recuperated for more than half a month, and then respectfully asked the teacher to check the homework.
With his ability, if he wants to raise another woman in the United States, even if the quality requirements are very high, it can be easily done, but Gu Biao didn't do that. He is very restrained and knows what he wants and what to do.
It is not easy for a 21-year-old man to be so measured and calm. This is an age of strong blood, and if you change to a little child, you may be dominated by the lower half of your upper body.
Both of them calmed down for a while, and continued to talk wisely about some business arrangements.
Han Ting said that this month, Hanle Electronics can reach the production capacity of 400,000 game consoles, and it can reach its peak in about the fourth quarter, with a monthly output of 500,000.
"Have you sold so much? You only sold more than 60,000 units this week, and at this rate in July, you will sell 250,000 units, which is 150,000 units short of 400,000 units. If I continue to expand production, the warehouse will burst. ”
Gu Biao reassured the other party very confidently: "Don't worry, this is not the same thing as selling a handheld last year." The cold winter of game consoles only began to recover in June, and now it sells a lot of 250,000. In August, I am sure to break through 300,000, and then stabilize the monthly sales of 30~350,000 for about a quarter, and at the end of the Christmas season, I will rush to 500,000.
You just have to start production capacity to produce game consoles until the end of the year, and the domestic warehouse rent is not expensive, so you will pile up the excess first. When the time comes, there will be enough stock, and you will be able to switch to HDTV. It is always necessary to wait for the stock of new game consoles on the market to reach one million units, and we will only be valuable to promote high-frame-rate TVs that match the picture effect of game consoles.
What's more, as soon as there are more game consoles, you can also take the lead in the layout of the market, and sell more in the market while Nintendo is not yet on the market - the key to marketing here is that we must strongly promote that 'Tian Kun is the company that saved the game console industry and is the savior who fished the world out of the Atari disaster'.
Then find the media to render Tiankun much better than Atari, and now has a 50 times higher new market share in the United States than Atari. In this way, consumers who are accustomed to worshipping and following the trend of American dads will take the bait. ”
Han Ting frowned: "In Yueben, there is also the marketing company of Hanle Electronics, which is all left over from history before the split of Hanle and Tiankun."
It's just that I have been in the Special Economic Zone for the past few years, and I don't have the energy to dig deep into the market, and the rights and responsibilities of the two sides are arguing and abandoned. By now, the level of development is similar to that of three years ago, selling hundreds of arcade machines every month, and not even making a turnover of $3 million a year.
And most of the business was eroded by Nintendo because of the channel spoils sharing agreement you had with Nintendo and Sony. If you want to go back now, you first have to face the violent backlash from Nintendo, and secondly, you have to have the right people to rebuild the market channel. ”
Gu Biao knew that what Han Ting said was a very realistic problem.
When he first shared the spoils with Sony and Nintendo, the arcade business was considered to be classified as a "2B business", while the home machine was a "2C business".
Therefore, later Gu Biao let Nintendo imitate the arcade game of the copycat Tiankun in the Yueben market, which is no way, if it weren't for this sweet bait there, how could it be exchanged for Nintendo's obedient development in the direction of home consoles.
In the past three years, it is logical that Gu Biao's combat effectiveness in the market has not advanced but retreated.
Even at this moment, he wants to return to the market, and he doesn't want to compete with Nintendo for arcade machines, he just wants to sell home consoles and handheld consoles back to the book.
The arcade market is too small, if the global arcade market is given to Nintendo, in exchange for Nintendo to control and suppress other younger brothers, so that they will not develop and covet the home machine market for the rest of their lives, then Gu Biao will wake up laughing from his dreams.
He'd happily trade it for the bait.
Of course, Gu Biao's idea is not too bullying, because the national conditions of countries in the world are different. Arcade machines, in other parts of the world, quickly became a flash in the pan, and by the 21st century, almost no one was playing them. But in this book, arcades are long-lasting.
Until 2019, the video game hall was very developed, and even the venue could be full at night. Anyone who has traveled to Tokyo can see that those electronic jam machines are full of gray-haired old players, as well as men who want to "pretend to go back later after work".
In the 21st century, video game halls have finally replaced izakaya as a warm harbor for high-pressure people to disguise hypocrisy and strong masks, which is determined by one's national culture.
Nintendo is willing to be a little brother in Gu Biao's co-prosperity circle, so let him earn a stable income from drought and flood, and if he wants to be a leading bird like Sega, then Sinai.
The plan has been decided, Gu Biao said in a consultative tone: "That's it, now that there is a summer vacation in China, I greeted my sister at the beginning of the year and asked her to prepare for her resignation." When you go back this time, I'll call her and ask her to stop working in her current unit.
Go to the Special Economic Zone, go to Hanle for a few months, you remind her, let her know how to open up the market, and help her understand the original situation of the game console industry. Then, I kicked her to Tokyo and put her in charge of the sales company on the other side. I don't want her to be very capable as soon as she gets started, but she has her own people to call her, and she can rest assured in the accounts, and she doesn't have to worry about the team eating inside and out. ”
Han Ting was a little unbearable: "You mean your own sister, do you have a brother like this, for the sake of his own business, he threw his sister to a place like Tokyo." Besides, she seems to be a graduate of a key university, and the state trusts her to let her enter the agency, how can she leave casually. ”
Gu Biao realized that Han Ting had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "How can it, you don't know anything - she is already married, Yang Xin is now my brother-in-law, I am here to create a chance for her to reunite as husband and wife." ”
Han Ting was taken aback: "Yang Xin, do you mean that Yang Xin in the Japanese class one level lower than you? He is now working as a secretary at the Tokyo Embassy." ”
Han Ting really didn't know about Gu Biao's family, so she made a fuss just now.
"And which Yang Xin. Besides, my sister is currently in the Provincial Planning Commission, and it is also a fat shortage that many people are rushing to go, even if she resigns, she will not delay anything. "Gu Biao is very determined.
Han Ting didn't say anything more, saying that she would sell Gu Biao's favor and help him train his sister.
Gu Biao hurriedly expressed his gratitude again, needless to say.
……
Gu Biao sat on the front line in San Francisco and stayed for about four or five days before returning to Watsangton exhausted.
In the new week, the weekly sales of Tiankun household machines steadily exceeded more than 70,000 units, a slight increase of more than 10% over the previous week.
Han Ting also flew back to the SAR to continue to take care of her Hanle Electronics.
On the day he left, Gu Biao hung up a transatlantic phone call to his sister and relayed what he said that night.
"Sister, you are going to find a way to apply for resignation, you have been a section chief in the Provincial Planning Commission for two years, it's almost enough, and you are worthy of the country's training." Just use the reason that you don't want to separate from your new husband in two countries, and the leader will not get stuck with you.
I told Mr. Han of Hanle Electronics that you should go to Hanle for two or three months to familiarize yourself with the situation of the game console industry and the market situation, and then you can go to Tokyo. ”
Gu Min had actually been waiting for a long time, and she was very coquettish on the phone, and praised Gu Biao, after all, she was her own brother, and she knew that she loved her sister.
The next day, Gu Min, who was in Qiantang, found the director in charge of her when she was at work, and initially put forward her intention to resign - the provincial planning commission itself is a department-level unit, so the "director" is a department-level cadre, and the director is the director at the next level.
"Where, this is my resignation request, and I hope that the organization will approve my resignation from public office and fend for myself. ”
He Chang is a man about 35 years old, and he is also young and promising, so he is very surprised.
"Xiao Gu, why are you doing this? Just for your husband to work in the embassy in Yueben? You can wait for the organization to adjust. I'm not doing it for myself, I'm thinking about you. There is a big gap between you resigning from public office on your own way and waiting for the organization to transfer you to your capital. I heard that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now has a document 'encouraging the families of diplomats to accompany them', can't you wait for vacancies?"
The conversation between the two did not shy away from others, so several colleagues heard it.
Gu Min's work performance in the past two years has been very good, and the Gu family has a lot of connections in the Qiantang officialdom, and several other section chiefs in the department feel that Gu Min will be the fastest to be promoted to the deputy department.
Now I heard that she was going to resign, and I was also relieved.
However, everyone also knows that the Gu family is very rich, and Gu Min may not be able to look down on this career.
"It's really more popular than people, this kind of economic planning department, real power unit, the section chief is not right. ”
