"Director Zhao, Director Qian, Director Sun, and Director Li come with me. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yu Sheng walked in front and said to the factory directors who were at least a dozen or so behind him, "This time, I wanted to decide who would use ceramics based on the bidding situation. However, I am afraid that the factory directors will feel uneasy, so this time, in line with the principle of fairness, justice and openness, the products of each company are put on the table, and we will speak according to the product itself, and I hope you will understand. ”

People are forced out. The rest of his life stipulates that the time for making ceramic shells is only half a month. Although Qingtai and its surrounding areas have a tradition of making porcelain since ancient times, it is not easy to make a brand new product in half a month according to the requirements of others.

The reason why they chose to participate was not for any particular reason, it was for money. For the rest of his life, he promised foreign exchange settlement, and one qualified shell was at least fifty cents, and two were one dollar.

Although this money, if it really enters the country, it will be forcibly converted into RMB, but it has been able to help them open up many situations. As for whether the money will reach the factory, they are not too worried.

After all, they are national enterprises, and basically no one dares to pit national enterprises, even if someone really has such courage, it is none of their business.

The gods fight, and they mortals just look at it.

"Okay, this is the ceramic shell that was submitted this time and met the basic requirements, a total of fifteen pieces. That's what you're on the table in front of you. Next, I will evaluate the performance of these ceramic cases and give you the corresponding ratings. If you have any objections, you can point them out immediately, let's talk about the product, and you don't have to worry about wearing small shoes or something if you make comments. ”

Yu Sheng waited for a while, waiting for these factory directors to digest the news. With his eyes, he ordered the two miscellaneous officers who were guarding the door.

Two handymen, one to draw the curtains, and the other to open the machine in the center of the table.

This is a slide projector that can enlarge the pattern on the slide several times and project it on the screen.

Before the factory directors came, they already knew the arrangement of the meeting process, so they did not panic and sat down in the nearest position next to them.

With one more look, the handyman inserted the first slide card. The screen shows a ceramic case, which is divided into five photographs, showing the ceramic case from five angles.

"This is the No. 1 product, which is provided by Qingtai Guoguang Ceramics Factory."

Yu Sheng said with a baton in his hand and pointing to the largest frontal picture.

"Product No. 1 uses the most common ceramic base, and according to our research, the quality of the clay used is average. The craftsmanship is surprising, the thickness is relatively thin, and the weight is also very light. The black glaze effect on the back gives it a calm look, and it is said that the yield rate of mass production is worth looking forward to. It is estimated that there will be more than 80% in the dry season and at least 50% in the wet season.

However, the anti-drop performance is poor, and the No. 1 product Guoguang Factory submitted a total of ten pieces, and the probability of falling and damaging at a height of one meter is forty percent. The remaining six fell from a height of two meters, and all shattered. The evaluation given by our factory for this product is seven points. ”

"The No. 2 product, provided by Shanqi Ceramics 17th Factory. Bone china technology is used, the color is crescent white, crystal clear, and there is a pleasant sound when gently knocked. The four feet are made of heat-adhering rubber, which has excellent drop resistance. However, the yield rate is slightly lower. The total score is 10 points, and the No. 2 product score is 8.5 points. ”

"No. 3 Product ......"

"No. 4 Product ......"

Like the "Catch the Ball" R&D meeting, the "Catch the Ball" ceramic shell meeting also adopted the "boiling eagle" mode.

At the meeting, every detail was finalized, rights and responsibilities were determined, no matter how big or small, which company was responsible for what, which company was responsible for production, and all were finalized.

Doing so avoids later ramp-ups. After the meeting, production was able to start as soon as possible.

In the end, it was decided to use three types of ceramic shells, bone china shells, black pottery shells, and white porcelain shells.

Black pottery and white porcelain shells are available for fifty cents each, and bone china shells require grinding bone meal for cost reasons, and sixty cents each.

Shanqi Ceramics Seventeenth Factory, Qunli Porcelain Factory, Great Wall Porcelain Factory, these three ceramic manufacturers were selected, Huaxia Factory will give these three factories a "patent fee" of five cents per unit for each purchase of a bone china shell, black pottery shell, and white porcelain shell.

Of course, the wool comes out of the sheep, and the five cents are deducted from sixty cents and fifty cents.

The purpose of this is to encourage research and development. If the people who develop research and development have no benefit for a dime, and those who use it make a lot of money, who will go to research and development.

Without R&D, there will be no progress, and without progress there will be no development.

Yu Sheng got the news that some small factories in Guangzhou have begun to imitate water-powered game machines, and the price is lower, only half of the price of the water-powered game machine of Huaxia Factory.

Yu Sheng learned a little about it and got a few finished products, and the quality of Guangzhou-Zhou products was much worse than the hydraulic game machine of Huaxia Factory. It is said that the wages of workers are also low, and they can only maintain a minimum standard of survival.

This method of lowering the price of workers and reducing the quality of products can indeed reduce the price of finished products and greatly improve competitiveness.

Solve it first before you can say whether it is good or not.

However, this is not a sustainable path.

If you do the first year of junior high school, others can naturally do the fifteenth. If your price is low, others can lower than your price.

It is impossible for Huaxia Factory to reduce the ex-factory price of hydraulic game machines, because Huaxia Factory must have enough profits to support research and development. There is no ability to prohibit imitations, and the only way to deal with it is to develop new products and develop products that others cannot easily imitate.

When others have the ability to imitate, Huaxia Factory has had enough in this field and can enter new fields.

The production cycle of ceramic products is a bit long, but fortunately, these factories have sufficient material reserves, and the long and tedious preliminary preparations have been completed.

The rest of the production steps, in about a week, can be batch production of finished products.

During this time, the assembly workers of electronic components have changed from raw hands to skilled hands, and the LCD panel production line has also been adjusted and put on the right track, mass-producing the screen of "Catching the Ball".

On November 5, a ship left Qingtai Port, and on November 20, it arrived at the Port of Oakland, California, seven days before the "Black Friday" and the American Christmas shopping carnival.

During these seven days, Parkinson's Trading Company is going to distribute these "catch" game consoles to all stores that can distribute them. Then, just wait for the money to be collected.

Since "Catch the Ball" is a high-end video game console, the price is not low, and this machine is about the size of a water-powered game console, which costs as much as fifty dollars. The FOB price of the Huaxia plant is also as high as 30 US dollars.

This is also the reason why a ceramic shell can give a ceramic factory fifty or sixty cents. A dollar is a hundred cents, fifty or sixty cents, but half a dollar.

The Qingtai local government turned a blind eye to the Huaxia Factory's behavior of distributing foreign exchange. Anyway, these ceramic factories are all in Qingtai, and the foreign exchange has not gone out, and the meat is rotten in the pot. As mentioned in the annual report, there are so many manufacturers who can export to earn foreign exchange, and it is better to hear it.

Of course, the foreign exchange of those electronic component manufacturers outside is not unknown to the relevant parties of Qingtai. However, this money did not enter the country at all before, and they couldn't manage it if they wanted to.

High-tech gadgets are already popular in the United States, so Parkinson's is also very optimistic about "Catch the Ball", a series of handheld video game consoles belonging to the "game watch".

The selling price of fifty dollars is not expensive at all in his opinion. Parkinson's Trading Company, following the trend of the market, has also invested heavily in video games.

The cassette of the game that can be played on the Atari console costs fifty dollars each. A portable handheld video game console costs only fifty dollars, which he thinks is very cheap.

If it weren't for sales, he would have planned to sell it for $100 each.

On November 27, 1983, the day of the Christmas shopping carnival in the United States, several video games were released for the first time.

Among them, the high-profile is the Atari first-party game, the game of the same name adapted from "e.t. the Extra-Terrestrial".

It is said that the development of this game is 30 million US dollars, which is the largest investment and the most anticipated game in the history of Atari.

In order to ensure that there is no shortage of stock, tens of thousands of shopping malls across the United States have prepared more than 4 million spot tickets.

Naylor, who recently drew a comic strip of the Yako Boat Race, has a lot more pocket money in his pocket, and he has prepared fifty dollars to buy this "E.T. Alien".

He wasn't a big fan of video games, but he was a big fan of Steven Spielberg.

Many people who didn't play video games in the first place, like Naylor, started to pay attention to video games because of this game. Keep an eye on the Atari console.

All merchants, love the holidays. ◇↓, what they like is not the festival itself, but the consumer's wallet. So, it doesn't matter to them what festival or what theme, as long as someone buys something, it's a good festival.

Black Friday refers to the fourth Friday in November, which is the day after Thanksgiving.

From this day on, the Christmas shopping spree kicked off. The Christmas tree full of gifts, the twinkling lights, and the fragrant smell of roast turkey render the strong flavor of this "American New Year".

In addition to these, ordinary people generally have a thick supermarket product manual.

It lists the prices of all the goods, which is very detailed, and the discount information of each product is clearly marked. Family members usually hold it in their hands and choose gifts for themselves for Christmas and New Year.

Of course, not every family can afford the latest edition of the thick manual every year.

Many families' Christmas shopping manuals are bought from second-hand bookstores. Some malls will release a new product brochure every year as a supplement to the old shopping manual.

Although there are many products sold at discounts, it does not mean that consumers can buy them calmly.

These specials are all in limited quantities, which is why there is a long queue at the door of the supermarket mall before it opens at midnight the day before Black Friday.

This year's consumer hotspot is video games, and as the video game industry continues to heat up in recent years, the industry has attracted more and more attention, especially the recent publicity of "e.t. Alien", which has made people have higher expectations for this industry.

Parkinson's Trading Company, riding the east wind, played a set of combination punches, and the company, which had been dull and uneventful for decades, has nearly doubled its expansion this year by relying on video games.

This is also the reason why Huaxia Factory's "Catch the Ball" portable game console can get a large number of orders so easily.

Parkinson's, or the market itself, doesn't care at all about the quality of the game. If you can produce it, you can definitely sell it. As long as the packaging is good, even if it is a blank cassette, it can achieve gratifying sales results.

It is precisely because of this that a lot of hot money has entered the video game industry, and toilet paper companies, which did not even know what video games are, have begun to release video games.

The demons are dancing wildly, and they grow savagely, which is probably what it means.

It was past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night before Black Friday, and it was less than an hour before the mall opened.

Parkinson didn't go to the mall to line up or go home to sleep, but sat upright in his boss's chair and waited for the sales report five hours before Black Friday.

This is important to him, because those five hours mean at least 20 percent of the company's sales this year, and in the next few days, sales will reach about 50 percent of the company's annual sales.

The lights outside the window were bright and peaceful, and Parkinson sat quietly in the window.

He picked up the microphone and put it to his ear, listened for a while, repeated, "Five million? Million! ”

First questioned, then affirmed, the products represented by Parkinson's Trading Company had five million sales in the first hour of Black Friday.

That's a lot, that's a lot, which represents a gross profit of one million, and a net profit of at least 500,000 yuan.

Don't look at Parkinson's Trading Company, the amount of capital flow is not small and very frequent, but it is all other people's money, and it is just a passing hand, and there is not much left.

"You repeat one more side, "Catch the Ball" is out of stock?" Parkinson tugged at the phone and asked, "Okay, I got it." ”

"I didn't expect those Chinese-Chinese people to be quite good at making games." Parkinson put down the phone, the Chinese side became more and more important, and he pondered whether to recall Nick and change his henchmen.

Nick stared out the window at the Christmas tree.

Inside the house was a honeycomb coal stove, and a chimney zigzagged along the roof of the shed to the outside.

There was a jug of water sitting on the stove, which was always hot and hot, and every now and then it had to add some water to it. This boiling water can be drunk if you want to drink it, but the main effect is that I am afraid that the fire house will be too dry, and people's mouths and noses will not be able to stand it. This kettle on the stove is basically the equivalent of a humidifier.

The Christmas tree outside the window is quite different from the Christmas tree in the United States. Not that cheap plastic Christmas tree, but a genuine pine tree.

Huaxia Factory and Timber Mill have supply contracts, and Yu Tiecheng said hello to them. People have heard that this is for foreigners to see, and diplomacy is no trivial matter, and this can be regarded as a major matter related to the national system. So, I got a pine tree from the mountains of the northeast with its roots, tied it with a straw rope and transported it.

When Yu Tiecheng saw it, the whole person was stunned, either he didn't explain it, or they didn't understand. It seems that communication cannot be vague just because it looks small. Otherwise, sooner or later you will have to pay a big price. I don't know how the people over there dug this tree out of the frozen ground by the roots. (To be continued.) )
