Chapter 120: On the eve of the wedding
In 1999, 520, the first product funded and developed by New Century Computer, the OCR recognition system for Chinese characters, came out. At the same time, the Italian, Russian, and English handwriting OCR recognition system was also launched. The Italian and English recognition systems have found the corresponding agents, but the Russian system is a little troublesome, Russia already has a local company A at this time operating the same products, and the recognition rate is also very high, want to enter the market, with the current strength of the new century is still a little difficult.
My opinion on this is that try not to go head-to-head with this company A, and you can take advantage of the price advantage and bundle it with a local scanner manufacturer.
For the first time, Chu Gao felt that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, and the high-level leaders of the new century began to operate in full swing. Chu Gao also agreed with my opinion very much, after all, the foundation of the new century is still very thin, and although there are abundant funds, but in terms of fame alone, I will lose a little, so my opinion can be regarded as taking the line of "saving the country by a curve."
However, to my surprise, Company A actually openly criticized New Century's OCR products in the media, and said wildly that in another 10 years, New Century would not want to occupy the market share of the Russian recognition system!
For the first time after this accident, I attended a high-level meeting of the New Century Group as an advisor to the New Century Group.
Because the new century was not established for a long time. The network is also limited to China. The products of the United States and Italy are also directly signed to local companies, and there is no need for New Century to personally market them. In Russia, however, there is no local marketing company, and everything needs to be marketed by the new century itself.
The result of the discussion of several high-level personnel was also at a loss, because a foreign company in New Century City lost to Company A in terms of "geographical advantage".
"Advisor Liu, what do you think we should do?" At the meeting, Chu Gao called me Advisor Liu.
"I think. The problem we are facing now is nothing more than the inability to capture the market! Russian consumers do not resist a new company's products like Company A, because for them, everyone uses the same products. But the main thing we have now is to touch the interests of Company A, which has good connections in Russia, which makes it impossible for us to really enter the market. Therefore, we now only need to let Russian consumers use the products of the new century. The problem is solved. I said.
"Yes, we can even stop making a profit at first, just capture the market. But the key question is, through which channels do we get in. Chu Gao nodded and said.
"It's still my original opinion, bundle sales!" I said firmly. Bundling, this is the trick of the company I worked for in my previous life, no matter what product, as long as you want to seize the market, you will bundle it in your own operating system, so that users have to accept it.
"Bundles?" Chu Gao wondered. He had already tried it, but the local scanner manufacturer didn't accept it at all.
"Yes! I want all Russians to have our new century OCR products on their computers. I nodded.
"Everyone, how is this possible!" Chu Gao exclaimed.
"Of course it's possible. We just need to bundle the product in Dawning's operating system. I said evilly.
"Damn! Chu Gao also smiled.
Two days in a row. Two people say I'm sinister? Am I really sinister?
I handed over the matter of contact with Shuguang to Chu Gao, anyway, now the high-level leaders of Shuguang in City B know my relationship with Zhao Junsheng. This kind of mutual benefit is also easy to talk about.
Originally, I didn't plan to take such an extreme and somewhat unethical business approach, but I was a little angry when Company A made a press statement. Let them do their own thing this time.
Professor Dong is very happy with the advent of the product, and he is also very confident in the R&D team that he personally selected and led, and is ready to further expand the research group to study more advanced technologies.
And these people have also become the most solid team in the new century.
Besides, I make money to back up a bigger plan.
Recently. In order to develop a larger aircraft carrier-type spacecraft, Sun Sikong needed a lot of metal. I had to spend huge sums of money to buy various metals from all over the world for Sun Si Kong to experiment.
Although Sun Sikong's laboratory has mastered the technology of changing the atomic structure of matter. But this technology also comes at a cost, and it is not as affordable as buying metal outright.
……………………
In the blink of an eye, June has come. There are five days left for the summer wedding.
I asked Du Xiaowei to send back the information from the investigation.
Xia studied at Stanford University in the United States. His father worked in the Security Bureau, and his mother was the chairman of a well-known state-owned enterprise. In this way, Xia's family background is really prominent, compared to me at the beginning, it is simply a heaven and an underground. No wonder Xia asked me to work hard to improve my social status at that time, if I were just an ordinary person, even if Xia was willing, her parents would not tolerate her son-in-law being an ordinary person.
It's just that this Lei Xiaolong is a little troublesome, if the Lei family is just an ordinary family, it's okay. The key is that the Xia family and the Lei family are both prominent families, if the Xia family regrets their marriage, the Lei family will definitely lose face, will the Xia family turn against the Lei family?
I shook my head and didn't think about it yet. The most important thing is Xia's meaning, if she has decided to marry that Lei Xiaolong now, no matter how hard I try, it will be in vain.
I went to rob the marriage, and if Xia still likes me, then my actions are a feat at the end of the century. If Natsu doesn't like me, my actions are stupid.
But I don't mind being a fool once.
"Have you contacted the branch in the United States?" Du Xiaowei's employment company has opened a very large arms supply company in the United States, and it has good connections.
"You're all set, uncle. When the time comes, no matter how much we toss, no one will come out to interfere. Du Xiaowei smiled: "And no one will be present at the TV station." ”
I nodded. I know that in these countries, arms suppliers have a strong social status and strength, and can do many things that others can't do, which is why I asked Du Xiaowei to do it instead of Shuguang's branch.
