The report on the effect of Gu Biao's kindness and the Tiankun industry on the soft power around Qiantang has been tossed and turned for more than half a month before it can be regarded as stopping.

It really made Gu Biao and his corporate popularity full of money, and by the way, it also made the learning machine industry a little further famous in China.

March has always been the time when government agencies and units meet intensively every year. Gu Biao doesn't care about politics, in addition to staying in Qiantang to cook business for a while, he is going south to the Special Administrative Region to inspect friendly businessmen.

Because according to the progress he talked with Ren Zhengyi last year, it is almost time for Ren Zhengyi's team to develop and complete the productization of the first fully automatic program-controlled telephone exchange in China.

Gu Biao went to follow up and grasp the follow-up progress of róng zī.

In addition, after leaving Ren Zhengyi, Gu Biao immediately went to Han Ting to inspect the production capacity of Hanle Electronics and learn about the direct supply to the mainland.

Han Ting said that there is no problem with Hanle Electronics, because the scale of this year's expansion is only one or two percent - the total sales in the mainland market last year were only more than 700,000 units, accounting for only 6% of global sales, even if the increase this year is large, it is easy to digest.

Of course, although the absolute scale is still very small at the moment, any little progress in the Chinese market is enough to make Gu Biao and Han Ting happy.

From Han Ting, Gu Biao learned that domestic dealer orders in the second quarter soared by more than 50% compared with the same period last year, apparently because of a series of indirect media publicity before, which greatly boosted consumer enthusiasm and dealer confidence.

Regardless of how national regulation changes, just a pile of national newspapers exaggerating "how I pursue the Tiankun learning machine, how I admire the strategy game of ancient historical background, and how to enthusiastically come to Qiantang to check in" is enough for ordinary consumers to boost national self-confidence.

Han Ting estimates that this year's Tiankun's learning machines and game consoles should be very stable if they ship 1 million in China, and if they are more awesome, 1.5 million units are not impossible.

The resources that have been squeezed out of it should be picked up from the Japanese television sets and video recorders that the people have reduced their imports. Anyway, people at that time bought Japanese goods for the sake of forcing the price, and now Gu Biao will buy Gu Biao when he gives the forced price.

It is estimated that Sharp and Toshiba, the company's agents in China, have hated Gu Biao to the point of itching.

Even Sony, a traditional ally of Gu Wei, although there is almost no TV market in China, but because the original video recorder has also been affected, it is inevitable that there will be some complaints.

In this way, Gu Biao spent more than 11 million US dollars last year for planting trees and controlling desertification, but it has paid off a lot in the short term - selling more than 560,000 learning machines and 2 million cassettes a year, although the direct profit brought is only a few million US dollars, less than one-third of the donation {sold cheaply in China, cassettes have to be 2-in-1 or even 4-in-1, which is in line with national conditions, so cassettes are not as profitable as the U.S. and Japanese markets}

But after all, this growth is a small stream of benefits every year, and the intangible national perception is even more difficult to quantify.

It is a great step forward to be able to change the learning machine from a thing that only children want to play with to a social currency that parents feel can be placed in the living room as a face, and when guests come, they see that your family has a chance to play and envy your family. In later generations, other domestic game companies were replaced, and no one did it no matter how much effort it spent.

……

When I returned from inspecting friendly businessmen in the Special Administrative Region, it was already late March.

The English version of "The Innovator's Dilemma", which Xiao Sui translated for Gu Biao, has also been thoroughly translated and sent to the United States, which will be finalized by McNamars, the editor-in-chief of Times Media, and is expected to be officially published on April 1, April Fool's Day.

Because it is a great writer like Xiao Sui who personally does the translation work, it is naturally extremely trustworthy and elegant, and the quality of the whole book is extremely high.

McNamas attached great importance to Gu Biao's affairs, and even made international calls many times, inviting Gu Biao to take some time to go to the United States before and after his debut, participate in some business affairs, or talk with well-known scholars, and build momentum for the publication.

McNamas did this, of course, for his own sake.

Because with Gu Wei's worth, he is not currently publishing books to earn those royalties at all. He is there to promote his values and guide the normalization of the business world.

At the same time, if a heavyweight like Gu Biao is willing to accept McNamarth's invitation, it will also strengthen the authority of the "Time" media, because not every year the cover character of "Time" will accept the invitation of the Times Group and personally descend to New York to meet them and participate in activities.

However, Gu has more far-reaching plans this year, because he hopes to rely on the fire of "The Innovator's Dilemma" to cause the American capital society to re-examine the valuation of "technology companies that are at the threshold of technological generational replacement", so as to suppress the stock market performance of Wang An and some other key technology companies.

This benefit is more than 10 times greater than the interest of royalties.

For the sake of these benefits, it is a good deal to build momentum with McNamas together.

So Gu Biao and McNamarth, who each had ghosts in their hearts, took what they needed, and they hit it off and agreed on a time. The other party also immediately contacted a bunch of scholars to chat with Gu Biao when the time came.

……

It was already March 27, and it was only five days before the first day of April Fools' Day. According to the itinerary, Gu Biao will leave for the United States tomorrow.

The little secretary Li Wantong also helped him make all the preparations before the trip.

Gu Biao, who already has a lot of experience as a trapeze, naturally knows that he has to reverse the jet lag in advance, so as not to land in time and be busy with affairs and lack of energy.

So he slept until mid-afternoon, and then prepared to stay up all night and sleep again on the plane tomorrow.

It's not suitable to be too busy when it's jet lag, so after getting up, Gu Biao chose to turn on the TV very leisurely and watch it for a while while eating breakfast and lunch.

The TV was tuned to the news channel, and yesterday's news was being broadcast, which made Gu Biao feel refreshed.

Yesterday, March 26, 1987, the negotiations between the great man and the Portuguese were finally reached, the great cause of the reunification of the motherland took a big step forward, the return schedule of Ao County was finally finalized, and the signing date of the "Joint Declaration" between the two sides has also been confirmed, and a formal signing ceremony will be held in Beijing on April 13.

As a gifted student who once graduated from the Foreign Affairs Academy, Gu Biao is still very excited, although he just rejoices casually, this matter has nothing to do with his personal interests, and he has never thought about taking benefits. The date of the negotiation and signing is only a historical fact, which has not changed at all, and has not been affected by any butterfly effect.

The Portuguese are actually still relatively weak, not as difficult as the Bretanians, and the reason why they have been dragging on is also because the country is concentrating on solving Xiangjiang as a priority. And last year, the Queen of Brittania came to visit and express her attitude, and the Portuguese side was just pushing the boat.

After the matter of Ao County was resolved, the country further demonstrated its muscles, and the willingness of those wealthy Hong Kong businessmen in Hong Kong to cooperate with the mainland and the motivation to expand investment were further released.

With Gu Wei's keen vision and rich experience, he can fully estimate that this year will be another peak period for the use of Hong Kong capital, and not only will Hong Kong businessmen's attitude be high, but the entry of various localities in the mainland will also be relaxed, allowing Hong Kong businessmen to invest in businesses that were previously only allowed to enter by state-owned assets.

In addition, Gu Biao estimated that there were a few old classmates or juniors of the Foreign Affairs University with whom he had a good relationship, and this wave should have also achieved a lot of results.

Mainly those students and apprentices who studied Spanish and Portuguese languages and then went to the European Division. Being able to participate in this kind of grand event, I believe that their promotion is indispensable.

So after eating, Gu Biao made a round of phone calls in the spirit of a successful senior and cared about those alumni.

"Xiao Qin, yo, it should be called Qin, congratulations, good performance. ”

"Xiao Xu, I heard that you participated in that stage? That's going to be soon. ”

After learning about the market, Gu Biao was pleased to find that the classmates and juniors assigned to the European Division that year, two or three of them were the best, and they were all very promising, and they had climbed to the height that he and Ye Su had climbed three or four years ago.

It's fast to catch up with big things and make meritorious contributions.

Of course, these are already floating clouds for Gu Wei, and he has already left anyway.

Congratulations, just hung up the phone, Gu Biao wiped his mouth, and prepared to ask the maid to remove the dessert after lunch and make tea again.

But at this moment, the secretary Li Wantong walked in and reported in a low voice: "Boss, Chief Qiu is here." He asked Sun Ju to contact you early in the morning and wanted to talk about something. But aren't you jet lag asleep? Now he is here in person. ”

"What's so embarrassing, in the future, you will say in advance that I am not there, please come in. ”

"I was saying you're not here, you'll be back in the afternoon. Li Xiaotong explained with a little grievance.

"Okay, got it, it looks like you're making rapid progress. Gu Biao patted it and motioned to the other party to go and do something.

Within half a minute, Qiu Qing and Sun Ju were welcomed into Qiushuangzhai - Gu Biao has recently become accustomed to living in the Grand View Garden, and he will directly use this club as a home.

As soon as Qiu Qing met, his face was full of spring breeze: "Brother Gu, I've read the news recently." The matter of Ao County is also a great joy for our use of foreign capital.

You have such a wide range of people in Hong Kong businessmen, and so many big news about the Tiankun Foundation caused trouble in "Renren Daily" and CCTV, and created a good external environment for the approval of the infrastructure construction of the local cultural and tourism industry. I heard that you are going to the United States for a while, but I specially stopped you before you left, and I must leave a message. ”

Gu Biao smiled and defended himself: "Why are you in such a hurry? I went to the United States to do some distribution work, participate in some symposiums, and work hard for half a month at most, and it is not that I will not come back." Brother Qiu, you speak slowly. ”

Qiu Qing: "First of all, the city has laid out a wireless telephone network, I mentioned it to you last year, you said wait, this year." Now this month, the post and telecommunications department has just finished a meeting, and the number section of Jinling and another city has been approved.

Don't you know, since the news about the number of people who came to Qiantang to travel and visit and learn from the experience has skyrocketed, whether it is the province or the relevant construction planning department, we have been planning the green light all the way to the infrastructure supporting construction here. Now it's up to you to support us and help us pull Hong Kong businessmen, and now the opportunity is rare. ”20
