"No, no, we can only allocate a maximum of 500 units per month, firstly, the domestic market is not so big now, and secondly, in the short term, the first thing Matrix must ensure is the supply of the American market, and the supply price can only be 5% lower than the price of first-tier dealers. Knowing that Zhang Chen had returned to China, Liu Ming ran to Zhang Chen's office downstairs as soon as possible, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, before the aliens had obtained iCom's Huaxia general distribution authorization, and iCom is now a hot mess at home and abroad, how could Liu Ming not be greedy?

Liu Ming said with a hippie smile: "Five hundred units are not good, now there are 17 stores in Alien across the country, and each store can only get less than three units on average, even if iCom is priced at 18,000 units in China, I dare to say that in less than a week, these five hundred units can be fully digested." What's more, by the end of the year, the number of alien stores in the country will definitely exceed twenty-five, two thousand, and there can be no less. ”

"Brother, you can't give this opportunity to make money to others, the alien company also has your shares. ”

Zhang Chen shook his head and said: "At most, eight hundred units, after three months, we can gradually increase the supply to aliens, but by this time next year, we can't exceed the supply of more than 1,500 units a month, otherwise it will seriously squeeze the living space of the current aliens' high-end products." You have to think about it, if people can buy this iCom for 18,000, why should they buy you 16,000 AlienX?"

Half a year ago, Alien changed its naming rules, and the highest-end product in the home aircraft market was named AlienX, in addition to AlienP for the business jet market and AlienE for the student market.

Liu Ming naturally understood this truth, and shrugged: "Okay, eight hundred is eight hundred, you are really not interesting, iCom is not a product to be handed over to aliens to do." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "You have no conscience when you say that, I talked to you when I designed iCom last year, and aliens don't have this design and production strength at all." Besides, when I was doing Matrix, I also asked, if you vote or not, you decide not to vote for yourself, who is to blame. ”

Liu Ming sighed and said: "This time it's a good job, next time you just tell me to eat together, as long as you take the lead, I will eat too." ”

Zhang Chen initially wanted to make the domestic price of iCom lower than the international price, but later found that it was almost unlikely, the domestic transportation cost and tax cost were too high, and the transportation cost from Pengcheng to Kyoto was higher than that from Pengcheng to Los Angeles.

In the case of a certain manufacturing cost, whether it is in the nineties or more than ten years later, the profits obtained from export sales are far greater than those obtained from domestic sales.

On the one hand, we can take advantage of Alien's channel advantages in China, and on the other hand, it is also to enhance the brand image and grade of Alien.

"By the way, the summer vacation is coming in a few days, how are this year's promotions doing?" Zhang Chen asked Liu Ming.

Liu Ming smiled and said: "Zhang Yimou's advertising film is good, two days ago we did a survey in the market, the current brand image of aliens is second only to Lianxiang among domestic brands, surpassing Fang Zheng and Ziguang, last month adjusted the overall indicators of this year, this year's sales of at least 150,000 units." ”

"The R&D budget can't be less than 3.6% of total sales, that's the bottom line. Zhang Chen reminded Liu Ming not to patronize and sell computers, the most important thing is research and development.

Liu Ming nodded: "In March, our R&D center has been completed, this year's R&D cost accounts for 7% of the annual estimated sales, and next year will not be less than 5%, before I didn't understand the reason why you vetoed the budget, now I read iCom, I understand that the high-tech industry, if R&D is not good, just imitation, will never make money." ”

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "That's the reason." Okay, I won't eat with you at noon, I have to go to the hospital to see my mother in a while, and I have to meet with my grandson in the afternoon. ”

Liu Ming stood up: "Now Lao Sun is a cow, his perfume bay has completely started his fame, 120,000 square meters, sold out in a week, the last time I saw him, he was full of red light, yes, don't talk about it, I also made an appointment to play bowling in the afternoon." I estimate that the ward is full of people these days, so I won't join in the fun, and when you move in a few days, I'll go over to see my aunt. ”

Zhang Chen sent Liu Ming to the door, and suddenly remembered: "You wait a while." Zhang Chen asked Hu Kaixuan to move a case of wine from the warehouse to Liu Ming, "This is really 82-year-old Lafite, don't mess with it." ”

Liu Ming blinked: "Which is more expensive in '82 Lafite or Louis XIII?"

Zhang Chen slapped his head, forgetting that Raffi is not famous now, and it is impossible for an upstart like Liu Ming to know what Raffi is.

Zhang Chen said helplessly: "Have you seen the God of Gamblers?" Gao Jin drank 82 Lafite in it, understand?"

When Liu Ming heard this, his eyes lit up, "This is fresh, I'll ask a few brothers to taste it at night, thank you." ”

"Nat, what do you want?" Natalie's mother looked worriedly at her absent-minded daughter.

"Well, I didn't think about anything, I was full, and I went up to review. Natalie put down her knife and fork, put the cutlery in the sink, and locked herself in the room.

Mr. and Mrs. Herschler looked at each other with some worry in their eyes.

Natalie hugged a pillow and half-leaned on the bed, thinking indignantly, "Liar, villain! I don't even remember my birthday, I don't have gifts, I don't have blessings!"

"Wait, maybe he knows that the Jew is not a birthday? Then there should be a phone number。。。。。 ”

"He must have forgotten。。。。。。 ”

"Would you like to give him a call?"

Natalie was thinking about it when she heard her mother downstairs shouting to herself, "Nat, there's your package!"

Natalie ran downstairs in her nightgown and slippers, and saw the old postman in charge of her own part of the house putting a cardboard box at the door of her house, "Cute little Natalie, Huaxia already has your fans, it's amazing." It has arrived two days ago, but the other party has a special request to send it today, sign for it. ”

Natalie's heart trembled, and she looked at the sending address, she didn't know where it was, Sichuan Province?

The postman took the receipt and asked Natalie to sign, and Natalie signed it twice, then ran back to her room with the cardboard box.

Natalie carefully opened the carton with a wallpaper knife, and inside was a beautifully packaged panda plush toy.

Natalie wondered, could it really be sent by a Chinese fan?

Unpacking the panda, Natalie found that there was also a certificate and a greeting card inside.

"Nat, though I know that Jews don't have birthdays, I wish you a happy sixteenth birthday. ”

"By the way, by the way, I adopted a giant panda named 'Nana' in your name at the Giant Panda Conservation Base in Huaxia, and the giant panda I sent over is made according to Nana's appearance, I hope you like it, and if you have a chance in the future, you can come to see her in person." ”

Giggled, Natalie happily circled the room with the panda in her arms.
