Traversing the courtyard

Weidong still has the 57 tons of gold that he bought before, and after two years of collection and the 300 tons, there will be more than 500 tons of gold, which is almost enough, and he will absorb some at a low price in the future to make a difference and strive for Can store [-] tons of gold.

I remember that Ah San's family in later generations has a gold reserve of more than 500 tons. If we put more effort, it will exceed Ah San's stock.

Shen Congee nodded and said, "Yes, we can receive your goods from the global gold market."

If you want more, only HSBC has safety measures to ensure that the gold can be obtained smoothly. This high-profile transaction will attract a lot of attention. Weidong doesn't want to go to London to find a way to store the gold in the space. .

I would rather spend an extra sum of money at HSBC and let it go directly to my home.

After having afternoon tea, the previous discussion was over. Wei Dong went back and talked about the matter with Ruan Tao, and then said: "We have almost sold out the cash registers now, and it's time to introduce the 8008 chip to the market."

Last year, the supermarket cash register business was launched. Now according to market feedback, the entire market is almost saturated. Even if there are orders in the future, sales will not increase much. Weidong has no idea how to use chips in other industries. Bring the chips to market and let the enthusiasts do the research.

Ruan Tao said: "It's okay, 4004 is almost sold out, and it's enough for us to delay it for so long."

The next step is to release the 8008 chip through channels. Compared with the 4004 in the previous life, the 8008 chip was released a little later. Weidong just thought about it for a while and stopped paying attention to it.

After Weidong agreed, he quickly exchanged half of the futures. HSBC first sent [-] tons of gold ingots, and the remaining [-] tons needed to be transferred later for delivery.

Four months later, HSBC sent over the remaining gold, and the gold purchased on behalf of others was also delivered on a monthly basis.

That day Mi Xiaozhou pushed open the office and handed Weidong a document, saying, "Boss, Huana Pictures sent a letter to seek cooperation."

"Cooperation? Why are you looking for us?"

Mi Xiaozhou said: "After our "Big Brother Tangshan" was released in some theaters in the beautiful country, the response in the Chinese circle was enthusiastic. Even many white people admired it very much, and set off a trend of learning martial arts."

Speaking of this, Wei Dong remembered that after the release of "Big Brother Tangshan" last year, there was a plan to release it globally. In fact, it was mainly because North America and Southeast Asian countries could sell some money. I thought the response was mediocre. I didn't expect this first work. It caused a sensation.

In my memory, Li Xiaolong will be filming the three films "Enter the Dragon", "Way of the Dragon" and "Game of Death" next year, and then died in an accident next year, and the cause of death has always been controversial.

Among the three films, "Enter the Dragon" has a lot of foreigners in the plot, it seems that this is co-produced with a Hollywood company, is it this movie?
But the scripts of these three movies have been written, so do I still want to cooperate with Huana Pictures?
Wei Dong hesitated for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Since they want to cooperate, let's talk and see what they can come up with."

Mi Xiaozhou said: "Okay, I'll go talk to them."

The two discussed how to deal with it, and Mi Xiaozhou went out to contact and discuss.

The next day, Weidong entered the office, and Mi Xiaozhou came in to report that Huana Films wanted to cooperate in the production of a martial arts film, and they had to choose a script acceptable to the West. If the results are satisfactory in the future, we can continue to strengthen cooperation. Of course, Yi Wei, as one of the main supporting roles, will also participate in the performance, and there is still a certain time requirement.

Now Yi Wei's box office appeal is not weaker than that of Li Xiaolong. Of course, Hua Na called for Yi Wei to continue to play. The combination of Li Xiaolong and Yi Wei is the guarantee of the current box office, especially the box office of "Fist of Fury" exceeding 600 million. The two have already become household names and big stars.

In Xiangjiang, you don't need to know who the governor is, but anyone who is not blind knows Li Xiaolong and Yi Wei.

Wei Dong asked: "What do they think of my "Enter the Dragon" script?"

"The person in charge of Hua Na said that there should be no problem, but it must be brought back to the senior management and the director to have a look before the final confirmation."

Weidong knew in his heart that this script was used in his previous life, but now the world has changed a lot, and he doesn't know if it can be shown again like the previous life.

Mi Xiaozhou and the other party have already talked about everything, and there are only some details that have not been discussed, but it does not affect the overall situation. It can be said that this cooperation is already a certainty.

Now that the matter is almost over, Weidong contacted Li Xiaolong to clarify the situation by phone first. Li Xiaolong was also very happy about this. Although there is more than one investor, it is also good for the film's release in the beautiful country. After all, the beautiful country is now The world's largest film market, being able to release simultaneously is also good for the promotion of Li Xiaolong's Jeet Kune Do.

Besides, Wei Dong is not a stingy person. Li Xiaolong can already get a share from the box office. With the addition of the beautiful country market, the share will double by then.

However, because Huana Pictures was involved in this matter, the two parties needed to coordinate and couldn't shoot in a short period of time. Li Xiaolong continued to shoot "The Way of the Dragon" as planned, trying to release it during the summer vacation.

Wei Dong just wanted to go to the set to visit the set again, Mi Xiaozhou went and came back and said in surprise: "Boss, the latest news, Suoni, Matsugami, Seiko, Futu, Sharp, Dongzhi, Siyang Qijia Neon Home appliance companies went bankrupt, Neon’s domestic factories were disbanded, and a joint company, Neon Union, took over all the researchers and overseas processing plants.”

"Is this going bankrupt?"

Wei Dong was a little puzzled. Logically, it shouldn't last for such a short period of time. According to previous calculations, it would take 3-5 years to exhaust the company's resources and truly go bankrupt.

Mi Xiaozhou just received a call from Neon's branch, and there was no specific news, but Weidong could easily figure out that this was a joint reorganization of several home appliance companies to strengthen research and development in home appliances in an attempt to Continue to maintain its dominance in the field of high-end home appliances.

Two days later, Weidong also received a detailed report from Nihong, and it was exactly as Weidong guessed. Several companies could not bear to be squeezed by the Qiuyu Group when they had not been in the international market for a long time. Without maintaining the original scale, the seven companies filed for bankruptcy, and then the newly formed Nihong Lianhe Company accepted the high-quality assets among them, got rid of the domestic production factories, and started to compete lightly in the international market.

After putting down the investigation report, Wei Dong said, "Changing the company brand will only delay it for a while."

Weidong actually has a headache now, because Neon has raised the tariffs on imported home appliances, Qiuyu Group's home appliances are not competitive in the Neon market, and its domestic market still belongs to the current Neon United Company, and in the international market It also occupies some high-end markets on the Internet, and it cannot be killed immediately.

Now Lianhe Company produces in Southeast Asia and then sells it in Neon China. Coupled with the profits earned in the high-end field, it is impossible to develop greatly, but you can still live happily.

Mi Xiaozhou said: "That's right, it will be very difficult for Lianhe Company to go bankrupt in such a short period of time."

Wei Dongdao: "Forget it, that's it, we can't suppress the domestic market, we only need to suppress the high-end field."

Now that the siege has been carried out at the low-end and the neon products have been brought back to their hometowns, it is time to launch their own high-end products.

Since Weidong acquired the home appliance technology, he ordered research institutes around the country to carry out research on the basis, and a lot of results have been produced so far. The products of the Qiuyu Group have been catching up with Neon's footsteps, and they dare not slack off.

Mi Xiaozhou said: "Our research is always worse than theirs. Is there any technology for overtaking on curves?"

Wei Dong smiled and said: "There is indeed a technology that has emerged, and that is the technology of infrared remote control. We have overcome the difficulties and can start production."

"Infrared remote control technology?"

Remote control is no longer a new term. As early as 1898, it was an inventor named Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) (he used to work for Edison and was also known as a genius invention. Home) developed (US Patent No. 613809), called "Method of and Apparatus for Controlling Mechanism of Moving Vehicle or Vehicles".

The earliest remote control used to control the TV was invented by an American electrical company called Zenith in the 1950s, and it was originally wired. In 1955, the company developed a wireless remote control device called the "Flashmatic," but this device had no way of distinguishing whether the light beam was coming from the remote control, and it had to be aligned to control it. In 1956 Rob.Adler (Robert Adler) developed a remote control called "Zenith Space Command", which is also the first modern wireless remote control device. He uses ultrasonic waves to adjust the channel and volume, and the frequency of each button is different. But this device can also be disturbed by ordinary ultrasonic waves, and some people and animals (such as dogs) can hear the sound made by the remote control.

In the 50s, although Zenith had developed a wireless TV remote control, most other companies still used wired technology.However, basically the TV and the remote control are used together. If your TV is an old model, it may not be compatible.Therefore, the relevant technology alliance opened a standard, and users can install this multi-compatible remote control by modifying the TV at home, and realize remote control operation within a distance of about 6 meters.

This kind of control is not easy to use in practical applications. The remote control is clumsy and the sensitivity is poor. In many cases, you have to press it several times to get the remote control successfully.

Weidong only knew that the general-purpose remote controls of later generations were all infrared, and he only pointed out this direction when the research institute was established. He continued to study until recently and perfected the research and development of infrared generators and receiving devices.

Compared with the ultrasonic remote control, the infrared remote control has the advantages of larger transmission range and higher stability than the ultrasonic remote control. The biggest advantage is that the manufacturing cost is low, but this does not matter to Weidong. In fact, Weidong prefers high unit price and cost. Products, so it is more cost-effective to copy.

Weidong explained, but Mi Xiaozhou still didn't quite understand the principle. He only knew that the patent he had applied for had been approved, and that the new infrared remote control could be installed on the latest home appliances.

In the past, if a home appliance has a remote control device, the price can be about [-] dollars higher than that without a remote control device of the same specification, but now Weidong only installs an infrared remote control on a new TV, air conditioner and other home appliances, and the sales price is not as high as what changes.

After the original inventory was almost cleared, new TVs and air conditioners equipped with infrared remote controls were launched. Once the TVs and air conditioners were launched, they immediately caused a strong response in the market.

In the past, all the products with wireless remote control were high-end products. Now Weidong puts the high-end standard equipment directly on the middle and low-end products, and the TV remote control produced by Xiangjiang is farther and more sensitive than the neon remote control. It can be turned on and off, and after field testing, it is very easy to use. After such publicity, the sales are steadily increasing.

By the way, it also seized a lot of the market for high-end products of Neon.

Fu and Ling took the report and knocked on Sugiyama Cang's office and said, "President, Xiangjiang has released a new technology called infrared remote control, which has already seized a lot of our market space."

"Infrared remote control?"

After reading the report, Sugiyama Cang said in disbelief, "You said this infrared remote control is better than our ultrasonic remote control? They even installed remote controls on the lowest-end ones?"

"Yeah, I'm also very puzzled, there was no rumor before, how come there is this infrared remote control in Xiangjiang."

Shanshan Cang sighed: "You may not have noticed that besides Xiangjiang, Beitai and Pretty State-owned Research Institutes, Qiuyu Group has also set up many research institutes in London, Bali and other places. The patent in hand, but it is not far behind us in home appliance technology, and it is normal to have a patent on infrared rays now."

Besides, the ultrasonic patents used by Neon are still licensed from the beautiful country. Every time one is produced, one has to pay a patent fee. In addition to the high price of parts, it is impossible to add a remote control to all domestic products. It is the place where Sugi Shan Cang has a headache.

After all, now international TVs of all grades are equipped with remote controls, but now Neon domestic TVs do not, and buyers will complain at that time.

"This matter is difficult to handle. I didn't expect that the ultrasonic remote control we used would become a backward product in an instant."

In the past, the main selling point of high-end TV products was that they were larger in size. The color TV had a remote control, and you could change the TV station directly while sitting on the sofa. Now even the cheapest TV in Xiangjiang has a remote control. In terms of competitiveness, it is much worse.

The most prosperous home appliance market is the TV set, which is needed by every household, unlike other home appliances that are dispensable. When the social economy is prosperous and has a certain amount of money in hand, most people buy the first home appliance It is the TV set, and other home appliances are added later.

Therefore, the TV market is the top priority of the new joint company.

Mrs. Fu and Ling came up with an idea: "How about we reduce the price of high-end TVs to the upper-middle position, and launch high-end TVs after our latest TVs are developed?"
