Chapter 552
Zhang Zhonghua took a serious look at Motorola's current mobile phone, which was a bit interesting.
The size of the mobile phone was much smaller than that of World War II mobile phones, at least it didn't have to be carried on the shoulder.
No, the kind of thing that you carry on your back should be called a walkie-talkie, not a mobile phone!
Motorola will produce the first big brother in 1973, the current technology in the field of mobile phones is too concentrated, there is no relevant talent in other places, even the most advanced technology in East Asia Dongying wants to find some talents in this area is also difficult, Yuhuang Electric wants to enter the field of mobile phones will have to wait until the 80s.
Some industries are not something that can be entered if you want to enter, and one more company and one more competitor will also use patent swaps when the time comes.
Soon, Zhang Zhonghua turned around the various exhibition areas of the entire exhibition hall.
In the exhibition, Zhang Zhonghua saw a lot of rare things, of course, there are also a lot of popular things, which looks very interesting.
There were also a lot of deals at the morning exhibition, and the transaction amount was close to 10 million US dollars, but most of them were transactions for Philips' latest 8-track tapes and blank recordable tapes, after all, they are the hot products of this year's exhibition, and there are many industries that can be used.
After lunch, after a little rest, the exhibition became more lively, the buyers officially began to purchase goods, the big trades of the exhibition also officially began, and the showgirls of the exhibition also worked harder.
Just as the buyers and the people in charge of the exhibition area were arguing, the broadcast of the exhibition began to broadcast:
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and Carrefour Supermarket Company for reaching a cooperation to purchase XXX cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and Carrefour Supermarket for reaching a cooperation to purchase XXX cash registers!"
"Congratulations ......"
The loudspeaker in the venue was broadcast three times in a row, which also caused a lot of sensation, and the buyers calculated that the development procurement amount could reach more than 3 million US dollars.
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and Homemart convenience store company for reaching a cooperation to purchase XXX cash registers!"
"Congratulations ......"
Exhibitors who had not yet recovered from their last big deal heard the loudspeaker again.
Aren't you cheating a bit, whether it's Carrefour or convenience stores, it's a company under the Jade Emperor Group like Jade Emperor Electric, and now it's trading at the exhibition, this is not cheating, what is this? Is there still a CFC to purchase in a while?
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and CFC Catering Company for reaching a cooperation to purchase XXX cash registers"
"Congratulations ......"
Soon, not surprisingly, the radio rang out again, it was the CFC's procurement broadcast.
At this time, Yuhuang Electric can be said to be the leader in the CES exhibition, but everyone is helpless for this kind of commotion.
The purchasing director of Tesco Supermarket who came to CES heard the announcement and walked towards the booth of Jade Emperor Electric.
He was curious, what kind of cash register was really so powerful? Unexpectedly, all the retail companies under the Jade Emperor Group replaced the cash registers.
If the function of the cash register is really very powerful, the cash register has to be purchased in advance, first of all, it must meet the needs of its supermarkets for their own use, and then it can be sold to the outside world.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I'm George Swindin, the head of Tesco Supermarket America, and I'm very happy to meet you."
As soon as the person in charge of Tesco came to the exhibition area of Yuhuang Electric, he saw Zhang Zhonghua and said very politely.
"Hello, Mr. George Swindin, you're here for the cash register, and I'll introduce you to the cash register."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile that all companies in the retail industry are customers of cash registers, and the market is very huge
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Zhang Zhonghua."
"Mr. George Swinding, the new generation of cash register developed by Jade Emperor Electric has added a lot of powerful functions compared to the previous cash register, this cash register has more powerful network performance, you can use it as a small computer.
The cash register can be connected to the supermarket's small server database, and all the product information can be displayed through the cash register, making the cash register more convenient and fast.
The new cash register not only has the previous network function, but also can display the inventory quantity according to the number of sales, which is very convenient for inventory counting.
The new radio also supports the credit card service, and can also provide membership card service......"
Zhang Zhonghua gave George Swinding a detailed introduction to the cash register system in front of him, although limited by storage conditions, but this cash register has been much more powerful than before.
George Swinding nodded secretly This cash register has indeed made great progress, and the warehouse management system has also greatly limited the development of supermarkets, and it is a very troublesome thing for supermarkets to regularly count inventory.
There are thousands of kinds of goods in the supermarket, and if the cash register solves the inventory problem, the cost of supermarket operation can be reduced by at least 10%, which is really a product with a big leap.
"So, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, what about the computer server configuration of each supermarket?"
George Swindin asked.
"You only need a small industrial machine, and the storage space it occupies is not very large, and the cost is not very high."
Zhang Zhonghua once again told George Swindin about the supermarket's cash register system, he can not only sell cash registers, but also sell software.
Of course, the cash register system is also very simple, and the database is only set up with commodity QR code, classification, name, price, manufacturer, inventory and other strings, which has achieved the ultimate simplicity.
The cash register is also quite simple, almost a super-large calculator, but the cost of each unit has reached 250 US dollars, of which the highest cost belongs to chips and integrated circuits.
"If this cash register is used as a stand-alone machine, for example, can it be used in small shops, restaurants, clothing stores, etc.?"
George Swindin asked.
"The small individual stores can be used on their own, and they only need to be equipped with an additional storage module to store the information about the goods directly in the cash register."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I don't know what the purchase price of this cash register is?"
George Swindin asked, there is no doubt that this is a very advanced cash register, the only problem is the price.
"Our suggested retail price is $1,299, and Tesco Supermarket, as an important partner of Jade Emperor Electric, has a purchase price of $999."
During this time period, the retail industry is so profitable, you can earn more than $300 by selling one, and after deducting taxes and the like, a cash register can almost earn more than two hundred dollars, and large retail companies don't care about the price of cash registers at all.
Of course, the price of $999 is a discount that only partners at the level of Tesco can enjoy, and other buyers are basically about $1,080.
Carrefour supermarkets, convenience stores, and CFC restaurants will only replace the latest products in those branches that are too busy for the time being, and if they are all replaced, the $1 billion may not be enough.
"When will this cash register be fully available?"
George Swindin asked.
"We have already produced the cash register in advance, and as soon as the exhibition is over, it will go on sale immediately."
George Swinding is helpless, only Jade Emperor Electric is so capricious, this thing really doesn't need to inspect the market, and if it can't be sold, it will be used by Carrefour, convenience stores and CFC.
"Then our Tesco supermarket plans to place an order for 1,000 units first."
"Okay Mr. George Swindin, nice to work with."
Zhang Zhonghua is also very satisfied, to complete the order at the CES exhibition, the exhibition party will also draw a certain amount of money as a server, but Zhang Zhonghua doesn't care about this, the most important thing is to make a reputation.
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and Tesco Supermarket for reaching a cooperation to purchase 1,000 cash registers!"
Neil Mohan, the head of the Volkswagen supermarket company, was surprised to hear the broadcast in the exhibition hall, is this cash register of Jade Emperor Electric so good? Tesco supermarket also placed an order for purchase?
Interesting?
Neil Mohan instructed the staff who were purchasing, and then walked towards the booth of Jade Emperor Electric.
Not only Neil Mohan, but also the heads of other supermarkets such as Wal-Mart also walked towards the booth of Yuhuang Electric, and they had to hurry up to take a look, and if it was a good thing, they would hurry up, otherwise they would not know when the product would arrive a few minutes late.
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and XXX Supermarket for reaching a cooperation to purchase 1,000 cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and XXX Supermarket for reaching a cooperation to purchase 1,000 cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and XXX Supermarket for reaching a cooperation to purchase 1,000 cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Yuhuang Electric and XXX Supermarket for reaching a cooperation to purchase 1,000 cash registers!"
"Congratulations to Jade Emperor and ......"
Throughout the afternoon, the sound of radio began to be heard at the CES exhibition, and the heads of other electronics manufacturers, such as HP, Panasonic, Sony, etc., were very envious.
They came to the exhibition hall of Yuhuang Electric to watch, wanting to see what kind of products Yuhuang Electric produced, which was so popular.
At the end of the first day of the exhibition, Yuhuang Electric became the brightest cub in the audience, and in the evening, all the participating employees, including those showgirls, came to Chicago's largest seafood restaurant to hold a celebration party, and the salary and bonus were doubled, and every employee was also smiling.
Taro Mishima was very happy drinking red wine, and his admiration for the president was beyond words, and there were heavyweight products unveiled in the next two days, and he believed that it would cause an even greater sensation when the time came!
The chip researched by Intel commissioned by the president is very good, and now the function calculator produced by Yuhuang Electric is very popular in the market, and now there is a hot product with a cash register.
Taro Mishima was very excited when he remembered the microprocessor chip he used, which can be used in almost all household appliances at present, not only calculators, but also refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, microwave ovens, radios, and electric fans, but the parts of the application are different.
Taro Mishima feels that the future of Jade Emperor Electric is limitless, and it is only a matter of time before he catches up with those super electronics giants.
……
Hewlett-Packard Company, David Packard looked at the turnover of today's exhibition and the name of the company with purchase intentions, his brows were furrowed, the calculator was originally HP's trump card product, but now the market for the calculator has been replaced by Jade Emperor Electric.
"Boss, the cash register performance of Yuhuang Electric is very powerful, and we can't make it in a short period of time."
Julian Green said to David Packard.
"What are some of the technical challenges that can't be solved? How long would it take if we developed it ourselves? ”
David Packard asked.
"The cash register of Jade Emperor Electric should still use the same microprocessor chip as the calculator, and we have entrusted Fairchild to develop the chip, but I am afraid it will take a long time."
Julian Green explains.
David Packard is extremely depressed, Fairchild Semiconductor Company is really amazing, a large number of outstanding employees left Fairchild Company, created their own company, and made Fairchild Company fall so far.
The chips produced by Intel can only be supplied to Yuhuang Electric, because the ownership of the chips is also in the hands of Zhang Zhonghua, HP just wants to purchase, and Intel also has rich production capacity, but no, it can't get the goods.
The market for calculators and cash registers is also very large, and when HP produces the corresponding products, Yuhuang Electric may have completely occupied the market.
……
Canon Inc., America Division.
Okawa Luce was very depressed, the calculator produced by Yuhuang Electric completely defeated the calculator produced by Canon, and now in this exhibition, the cash register once again caused a huge impact on Canon, uncomfortable, too uncomfortable.
Okawa is even now doubting whether Yuhuang Electric will enter the field of subway security and vending in the next step.
As far as he knows, Yuhuang Electric has begun to study printer technology, and has also convened to start researching camera branch technology, although it is not clear that it will be produced, but once the technology patents are accumulated to a certain extent, even if Yuhuang Electric does not produce cameras, Canon will not be able to avoid Yuhuang Electric's technology patents.
At present, in the field of cameras in the world, Okawa is extremely proud, and only Kodak can compete with Canon in the world, and other companies are still too far behind, but Jade Emperor Electric, a behemoth company backed by the Jade Emperor Group, he dare not underestimate it.
Once Zhang Zhonghua makes up his mind to enter the camera field, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Canon.
"President, the cash register of Jade Emperor Electric uses the same microprocessor chip as the calculator, and the chip needed now is only produced by Intel, and the patent is in the hands of the Jade Emperor Group."
Kuranosuke Shiraishi said.
Okawa Yuce felt helpless, America's giant company did not authorize Dongying Company, and could not enter the chip field without relevant patents, not to mention that the excellent chip used in the cash register was in the hands of the Jade Emperor Group.
It's so uncomfortable to be stuck in the neck, it's so uncomfortable!
