Chapter 092 - Going to Taiwan to Settle the General Account (Three More Requests for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)
Nagano offered to sell the 16-digit MD machine for $158 in the Chinese market.
For this price, Yang Yun said that it was completely unacceptable: "Impossible! How much tax do you pay when you enter the U.S.? I've personally experienced in the United States that I paid twenty or thirty dollars in taxes for $100! ”
Nagano wanted to cry: "Yang, that's the consumption tax that the buyer should pay, and our Sega is the seller......"
"Cut!" Yang Yun didn't listen at all: "Don't say much, you sellers have to pay at least 20% tax, right?" Otherwise, if you don't pay taxes, the U.S. government will work for you sellers? 228×20%=45, you don't have to pay taxes in China, 158-45=113, and then remove your profit of 30 yuan, there is still 83, I will ship directly from your Japanese factory, and then remove all kinds of freight and loss you drag to China, 60 US dollars! I'm also a shareholder of Sega anyway, up to $60, and if it is more, I won't look for you, I'll go to Nintendo! ”
"Don't do that! Please be sure not to look for Nintendo...... "Nagano is really going to cry, Yang Yun's bargaining kung fu is too terrifying, it's just ...... Vexatious!
But he didn't dare to refuse at all, because Yang Yun's order was at least tens of millions of dollars, and in the name of the shareholder, he asked for supply at cost price, oh no, it was supplied at a lower cost price.
Yang Yun said lightly: "I'm sorry, Nagano-kun, the two of us are good friends. But you know, China is a political country, and the top has only given me so much money and asked me to reach a certain amount, so I can only do that. ”
Nagano was covered in sweat. Bent down and bowed, "Please wait, I have to report to the headquarters!" ”
As for the mandating that Sega provide a castrated version of the MD console, Yang Yun's reasoning is this.
The national cultural department has a huge Chinese cultural propaganda jihua, among which the soon-to-be-completed Dragon version of the Three Kingdoms game is also among them, and as a vanguard army, it can go out in advance.
However, the sales channels of the Sega platform are far from enough, in addition to Europe, America and Japan, there are also vast countries and regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America that need to be covered.
The bargain is a tug-of-war. But Yang Yun didn't have time to fight for $1 and $2. He's after speed now.
Agree, let's do it! Disagree, the Chiyang Electronics Factory itself started producing FC, as for the game. Don't blame Longteng for violating the Sega agreement. State orders are irresistible factors. The contract law does not protect, and the state allows the production of games on FC, which Longteng has to abide by. Sega could only watch the FC version of the Dragon Warrior and Death Squad game come out and squeeze its own already small market.
Sega finally agreed, turned out all kinds of backlog of inventory, continued to castrate MD game console components, and did not expect exquisite packaging, the shell is simply shoddy, as much as you save, the Sega factory forced the cost to 80 US dollars, and then look at Yang Yun's face, give a factory price of 60 US dollars, a loss is a loss, and the price should be exchanged for the market......
The customer list of Chiyang Electronics Factory, Duan Haisheng easily got his hands on it, and he just inadvertently registered one more time at the Canton Fair on the spot, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.
When these customers hear about the $80 Sega MD16-bit game console, and it is full of the latest and most fun cassette games, few people are not impressed, this price is ridiculously low, even if it sells slowly, it can be hoarded and resold, and even makes people question, but in the end, because of the quality of Sega, they dispelled their doubts and turned to buy a lot.
With a contract of 700,000 units and a total value of 56 million US dollars, Yang Yun came to Japan for the second time.
Jihua is proceeding in an orderly manner, the surface of the wind and clouds remain unchanged, but the invisible places are surging undercurrents.
Wang Zhe found a Japanese agent, founded a Fengyun game software company, and took Yang Yun's order to die in the Jia factory to arrange shipping and delivery.
Customer-Longteng-Fengyun-Sega, with Yang Yun's endorsement of Fengyun Company, Sega can only open a warehouse to ship, and Sega's settlement date will not be until early February, so there is no matter of picking up payment, leaving Yang Yun with a one-month buffer time.
The Japanese stock market continued to fall, and the prices of many stocks were cut in half, and Yang Zhan tested the waters with Yang Yun's $2 million start-up capital.
Yang Yun has been staying in the laboratory of Sega headquarters, accompanying his 20 programmers to fight on the front line.
The strange thing is that Sega is not in a hurry to find Yang Yun to hold a press conference, and Yang Zhan encountered other funds in the stock market that are competing with him for retail stocks, and the biggest possibility is that Sega's major shareholders are also secretly scrambling to raise funds.
Things became confusing, everyone was comparing patience, Yang Yun also pretended to be nothing, and kept investing funds in the stock market to grab chips, betting all his belongings, intending to swallow the elephant.
On January 22, 1990, four days before the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Year of the Snake, Yang Yun finally got a long-awaited feedback and excitedly boarded a cruise ship bound for Taiwan.
This time, Yang Yun is going to settle the ledger with Xiao Tiancai, and he wants to push Xiao Tiancai into the abyss of bankruptcy with his own hands!
……
……
Since the establishment of the Hsinchu Science Park by the Taiwan authorities in 1980, this high-tech incubator pool in Taiwan, known as the high-tech industrial park of Taiwan's Silicon Valley, has taken advantage of the rapid expansion of the global electronics industry, forming one of the most densely populated areas in the world's semiconductor manufacturing industry with 400 high-tech enterprises.
However, according to the traditional Chinese view of yin and yang harmony, there will always be a period of low tide after rapid development, and the stock market will rise and fall, and the development of Hsinchu Science Park has stalled this year.
In recent years, the economic environment has been not good, many enterprises have difficulty operating, and in the first half of the year, there was a collective strike in the Far East chemical fiber factory in Hsinchu.
The Far East Chemical Fiber Trade Union, the leading trade union in Taiwan's independent labor movement, went on strike in May, with hundreds of security personnel dispatched by the funders of the strike, while the government forcefully dispatched explosion-proof police and fire trucks to forcefully suppress the strikers, which lasted for 10 days and arrested many important officials of the union. The Zuihou factory resumed work, and the strike failed.
This incident alarmed the whole of Taiwan, in recent years, there have been repeated strikes in various places, this time the leading boss of the labor movement, Far East Chemical Fiber strike, is the most influential struggle, but unfortunately it was suppressed by the government, there is no good end, which makes all the trade unions no longer dare to act rashly, can only turn to the atrophy strategy of continuing to fight within the legal range.
At the end of last year, the Japanese stock market crashed. Taiwan's economy, which was already crumbling, was implicated. The number of bankrupt and bankrupt enterprises in the entire Hsinchu Industrial Park has increased to dozens.
The little genius company is one of these dozens, its full name is Taiwan Crystal Technology Group, the little genius learning machine game machine is just one of the home computer subsidiaries, the overall economic environment is not good. Production, in turn, is regulated by trade unions. The workers, led by the trade unions, kept making demands. In disguised resistance, the market that originally belonged to itself was robbed by competitors, and the factory was on the verge of shutdown. He owed a lot of money to suppliers, but Xiao Dehua stayed in the office every day and didn't dare to leave the factory.
There are still 4 days to go on Chinese New Year's Eve, he really dare not go out of the factory gate, there are many cars parked outside, tents on the ground live debtors, and the small minions of the Taiwan Black Society patrol, leading huge wolf dogs around the factory, just to prevent the factory owner from selling machines and running away.
"What!" Xiao Dehua slammed the table and yelled at the phone: "South Africa wants to withdraw again?" But we invested $1.2 million to build a factory there, and he said that if you withdraw your investment, you will withdraw your investment? What bullshit state policy! ”
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Dehua lay on the back of the chair in a distraction.
Another cooperative manufacturer decided to withdraw its shares, saying that the national policy does not allow it, and the devil knows if it is true, but in the past two days, the number of former partners who have asked for withdrawal and return has suddenly increased, Moscow in the Soviet Union, Sao Paulo in Brazil, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Singapore, and now there is another South Africa!
What went wrong? Xiao Dehua rubbed his temples, heard the faint sound of the dog barking outside the factory, and became more and more irritable, this year, I'm afraid I can't go on, and the guy he hates, I'm afraid he is very comfortable!
Yang Yun came to Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, accompanied by Lin Zhenjie, senior vice president of Sega Taiwan's subsidiary, Seya Yule.
"Mr. Yang, this is Taiwan Crystal Technology Group Home Computer Company!"
Yang Yun took a look, the layout of Hsinchu Science and Technology Park is similar to that of Zhongguancun in the capital, with large pieces of divided land, wide roads, and magnificent factory gates, but Weishenme will be blocked tightly?
After the two got out of the car, they found someone who seemed more honest and asked the reason.
The worker said angrily: "The factory owes two months' wages! The union shouted at us to come and block the door! ”
Yang Yun couldn't help but smile and pointed to the tent: "You eat, drink and live here?" How long have you been there? ”
"It's been more than 40 days!" It started in mid-December.
"Why are there so many cars over there?"
"That's the boss who was in arrears for the goods and was afraid that the factory would sell the machine and run away, so he blocked the gate with a construction truck, and lived in the car for food and housing!"
"How come there are still dog walkers? Come on, you can see that it's the thug who is leading the dog, the ...... of a professional debt collection company."
"That's right! I heard that it was someone from the Zhu Lian Gang. ”
Yang Yun smiled happily in his heart, walked to the vicinity of the guard room, and finally called out a person in front of the locked door: "Is your boss here?" ”
The doorman was extremely impatient: "Not here! ”
Yang Yun quietly pinched a stack of money in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Please inform your boss, just say that there is a person named Yang Yun who has traveled thousands of miles to see him." ”
The doorman strode over, grabbed Yang Yun's cuffs, and pushed people through the iron door, but he didn't use any strength, but the banknotes disappeared like a trick: "Hurry up!" ”
Yang Yun left the gate with a smile, he believed that as long as Xiao Dehua knew that he was here, he would definitely want to see him very much.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for an unattractive guy to quietly walk up to Yang Yun and motioned for him to follow alone.
Lin Zhenjie was a little worried, but Yang Yun said that it was okay and insisted on walking alone, and the two entered through an inconspicuous side door in the factory, and Yang Yun finally saw Xiao Dehua.
"Mr. Xiao, don't come to harm!" Yang Yun had a victor's smile on his face. (To be continued......)
