Chapter 125: Business Matters (Part II)

"If there is a price war, I don't think we will be able to support it for long at all, and in principle, it is not advisable to transfer the profits of other companies here. In fact, our price is not very high, and the other party is losing so much money now just because he wants to unite with Japanese companies to defeat us. If they see that we can't be crushed in a short period of time, their company will immediately adjust the price to the same position - they can't keep losing money. ”

Olson is a man who can invent the "matrix", and his analysis of the company is well organized.

But Catherine shook her head.

"It's okay to deal with those guys at BCA, but it's not good for Japanese companies."

Because of their monopoly in Japan, Japanese companies have sold their domestic television sets for nearly $800, but in the U.S. market, they are as low as $300.

Olsen nodded.

He also has a vague understanding of the situation in Japan.

Catherine was relieved to see this. If it weren't for the fact that he left a back-up move when he built the factory, it would be dangerous now.

Since the beginning of this month, GameTV's return rate has actually increased by 300%, and it is clear that someone is trying to stink the brand. But this plan can hardly be said to be successful.

In order to prevent defective products from entering the market, Catherine adopted a high-cost three-level inspection program, and the quality is absolutely excellent, and it is difficult for others to find truth from this aspect.

In addition, Catherine also provides a "return inspection" service, in which she will re-inspect the returned goods and pay three times the purchase price to the other party if the quality does not meet the requirements.

Of course, in order to prevent someone from deliberately replacing parts for verification, Catherine is very serious about the anti-counterfeiting measures of the machine. Not only do there are "anti-counterfeiting stickers" on every part, but also there are logos in some places that are not easy to be noticed.

However, the high return rate will always affect the business.

Catherine did not dare to cut the price.

Among them, another reason is that if you reduce the price yourself, with the high return rate, it is easy to give others the truth, maybe the other party is ambushing here!

Catherine's company is now a bit like a turtle shell covered in iron armor, although others can't attack it, but they can overturn this turtle shell.

"I'll call Sanders and ask him to come over."

Catherine said suddenly.

"We'll talk about that tomorrow...... By the way, Olsen, you go find the Beary room and see if you can get their infrared technology patent. If they don't, try to see if you can buy the Bell Room. ”

"Okay, boss."

Olsen nodded, and then prepared to leave.

If at that time, DEC was injected by Catherine with tens of millions of dollars, so that Olsen was grateful, then now, the other party's intelligibility in the face of danger made Olsen feel impressed.

Although blonde hair and big breasts are often a sign of "big breasts and no brains" in the eyes of Americans, Catherine, who has white blonde hair and full breasts, is completely different.

After making a phone call to Sanders, Catherine immediately went to Intel's R&D department.

At this time, Seymour Clay had just taken over as technical director and was working on Intel's materials, and the official work had not yet begun. However, it seems that the other party does feel very interested in the Z80.

"Mr. Clay, how is Intel feeling?" Catherine asked.

"It's very good, and I dare say, it's definitely a mecca for technicians in Silicon Valley. And the application of C language and keyboard makes operating a computer a pleasure! ”

Indeed, for programmers who still use paper tape to punch holes, and then let the computer read the programming code according to the punched holes, Catherine's working method brings an unparalleled enjoyment!

"I wonder if Mr. Clay already knows anything about the company's business?"

Seymour Clay nodded.

"It's definitely home to some of the world's most cutting-edge civilian technologies, and even IBM can't compare to them. It would probably be better if there was a supercomputer. ”

IBM?

When Catherine heard these three letters, her mind immediately began to think.

IBM……,

IBM!

Big stupid elephant IBM!

Catherine finally found a breakthrough.

The solution of the problem may depend on IBM.

The name of International Business Aircraft Qì Co., Ltd. is not just a joke.

And General Electric, one of the culprits of the joint crackdown on Catherine's GameTV, is one of IBM's main competitors, and I believe that Watson Jr. will be happy to cooperate with Catherine.

Of course, Catherine's Intel and Apple are also IBM's main rivals, but in this world, there are many win-win things, as long as the other party is willing to cooperate with her, Catherine does not mind licensing CPU and RAM to IBM to develop personal computers.

She heard that little Watson was in a hurry for this.

"Olsen, how's the development of the remote control?"

Catherine asked again.

"Uh......"

Olsen flipped through the materials he had just read.

"The technology of single-chip microcomputer has been tackled by us, and the remote control can be successfully produced soon...... The concept of a microcontroller is interesting, and I'm afraid this thing will change a lot of things. ”

Not a lot, the key to leading humanity into modernization.

"Then I'll be relieved."

Catherine smiled.

Different from the remote control of this era, Catherine's remote control, because of the use of single-chip technology, can probably be called a limit. Functionality is definitely not comparable to the humble things of this era.

On the other hand, Sanders received a call from Catherine and immediately rushed back to New York from California.

But the next morning, when Sanders arrived at the company, Catherine had already spent the night here.

"Boss."

"Sanders, you're finally here."

Catherine smiled.

She put the report down, then twisted her back.

"Apple is in trouble right now, you just transferred a short time ago, I wonder what you think about this?"

Sanders nodded.

In fact, before he came to California, he noticed that there were signs of a price reduction for televisions, but at that time he had no idea that this would be a way to deal with Apple.

Of course, the other party's methods do not stop there, Catherine's company is recently being investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, and it is difficult to say anything behind this.
