Chapter 223 Explosive Marketing
"Correct!"

Allen looked at Kubo Tanaka with a smile, looking like you are very good.

"Summer is coming soon, new products, I hope you can add some tricks, even if you bring some water stickers."

"What kind of color do you want, sir?"

Regarding the color matching of the product appearance, Tanaka Kubo still has the right to do so. As long as this gentleman is happy, even if he wants colorful black, he is confident that the people in the design department can make it!
"Well, look. You can add some watermelon elements to it."

"???"

Tanaka Kubo's heart is cold, don't see that many people like to eat watermelon in summer, but...
The appearance of this product is sold in the United States, it is a watermelon!

This thing is easy to talk about in other places, but in the United States, things like watermelon are always associated with certain discrimination.

The main reason is that the former slave owners in the Americas planted watermelons as food for black people because they were easy to grow and had a large yield.

In addition, when black people eat watermelon, they often like to dig it directly with their hands. The juice of the watermelon splashes everywhere, which looks dirty. Later, as soon as this thing appears, it can break some glass hearts.

In Allen's impression, what is the best way to eat watermelon?
Put the watermelon chilled in the refrigerator or in the well water, cut it in half, and dig it with a spoon, which is the best way to eat it.

But if you feel that digging and eating is unsightly, you can also cut it into pieces and eat it with a toothpick or fork.

I don't understand why those people like to use these things to put them online, making them afraid of this and that.

Since they have ambiguity about this, let's take it out and output it to your face.

"Your Excellency, this can be."

"I know what you want to say, but have you ever thought that sometimes when doing marketing, there is no need to be so comprehensive. Some groups are not your target customers in the first place, and they have no money to buy your products."

Allen said this, patted Tanaka Kubo on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "If you use this kind of obviously ambiguous publicity method, although you lose some worthless potential customers, you can get a lot of money because of it." Batch customers who don't belong to you!"

Sony already has a criminal record. They seem to be cheap and like to use other people's pain points as publicity. Now Allen is just showing this kind of thing in advance, so as to guide them on the "correct" path.

Let's take a trick first, and then some extreme white Americans will fall to them.

By the way, it can also bring a wave of news enthusiasm.

the most important is
What Allen didn't say is that Sony has been dishonest recently. They haven't even won the Commonwealth market in Great Britain yet, and they always want to continue to develop the American market.

I always want to acquire some other industries in the United States.

How does this work?
It is not so easy to get off the boat or step on two boats after getting on Master Allen's boat.

In the eyes of Allen, their Sony is now a big piece of fat. Seeing that their fat always wants to jump into other people's pots, although their mouths are full of oil, even if Allen ruins them, he doesn't want to let them go. others eat.

If I can't get it, don't even think about it!
He wanted to dig some holes for Sony right now, and try to pour some dirty water on them that they couldn't bear to refuse.

capital.
When faced with real sales and user groups, it is justifiable to change your position a little bit and do some stupid things, as long as you can make money.

Allen didn't believe that they had the heart to give up this opportunity.

Even if they don't take the bait, he still has hundreds of Koreans in his hands. If he sends a few random people there, even if he pretends to be Sony, he will have to drag them down!
Want to break away from Master Allen and take into account the development of the United States?
no way!

As long as they do it, this is the handle to further control them in the future.

Allen told Tanaka Kubo a little bit about the benefits and "small risks" of this.

"Even if the controversy is too great in the end, aren't you very good at apologizing? Then hold a press conference, go on stage and bow a few times, and apologize? The news that lasts for several months will allow you to be in the United States. Open up the market, think about how much your popularity will increase in the past few months?"

To be honest, facing Allen's words, Tanaka Kubo was moved.

In fact, islanders also look down on black people. What they really admire are white people. To them, black people are just like that. Except for filming, they need to use some talented players, and they don’t have much demand for other time. In addition, if they advertise like this, the American Southern Market will open their doors to them!

"Your Excellency, I still need to go back and call the headquarters to discuss."

Tanaka Kubo sat on the sofa, twisted his buttocks, and accepted with a smile on his face.

Allen stood up, looked down at Kubo Tanaka and said: "Then you must hurry up, and then you will also help us clarify the matter of taking the wrong master tape of the movie. We must make good use of the popularity of the news. Public opinion Use your power well."

"Yes! I understand. I'll call right away."

As Allen walked out of the office, he turned his head sideways and said to Tanaka Kubo who was following him to see him off: "As for the press conference, we have a professional screenwriting team, and I will arrange it here. Well, you can inform Patrice."

"Okay, I will come up with a decision before tomorrow morning, so that you can worry about it."

When he came to the small courtyard of the office, Kubo Tanaka trotted for two steps, first helped Alan open the car door, and after Alan got into the car, he gently closed the door and made another very standard bow.

The convoy left the office and headed west along the coastal road towards Port Llanelli.

After less than an hour's drive, we finally arrived at the small port where the warship was parked.

This is a private pier, but the water level is relatively deep, but there are not many berths, and it is generally not open to the public.

Other fishing boats, cargo ships, etc., usually go to the nearby Llanelli Port, and now there are warships parked here, the surrounding area has long been closed, and no one will come here.

A few days ago, when Li Zarong came here for the first time, the warship he saw was the USS Cardiff destroyer that had gone through the sealing procedures and was well maintained and moored here.

This warship definitely cannot sail directly to the storage port, and it will be exposed when it gets there.

We can only stop here first, find some people in charge of inspection, and come over to do a fake test.

As soon as Allen got out of the car, he looked at the sun that was about to set not far from the sea. The 125-meter hull looked slender but mighty in the afterglow.

This thing may seem small just by looking at the photos, but only by viewing it on the ground will you find out what kind of giant this regular warship is.

At least Allen has served on this ship for several years and still has a lot of affection for it.

In the mid-to-late 60s, Great Britain developed a sea-to-air missile. At that time, it needed to be equipped with a new type of warship. Later, after several design changes, this was finally designed, the Sheffield class, which is the Type 42 destroyer.

The technical indicators required at that time were not only to be able to mix with the fleet, to provide the fleet with a series of capabilities such as air-to-air, sea-to-sea, and anti-submarine, but also to have a certain degree of autonomous combat capability.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to be able to form a team to cooperate with teammates and cooperate with big bosses, but also to be able to do it alone. It can be regarded as a small jackpot ship.

The cost of the first batch of single ships is about 3000 million pounds, and the external quotation is 5000 million pounds.

There is an extra 2000 million pounds in the price difference. Of course, the navy boss wants to share the profit. If the shipbuilding does not make money, what else is there to build?
In the 70s, the first batch entered service one after another, and the Cardiff has only been in service for less than ten years.

At that time, the British media had new warships, missiles, radars, etc., and the newspapers were blowing it up, wanting to describe this thing as a star destroyer.

Until the Falklands naval battle a few years ago, when Argentina sank two ships directly, the "myth" was shattered, and the faces of the British gentlemen were bruised and swollen.

Later, in order to shirk responsibility, this type of destroyer was identified by the above as having "design defects", and the remaining follow-up construction plans were all cancelled, and the drawings were improved, and the second batch of enlarged por models was produced.

Allen also used this argument to successfully get the ship back.

Now it's just going a step further to make it retreat more thoroughly.

Seeing Alan getting off the car, Thomas hurried to Alan's side and reported in a low voice: "Your Excellency, the inspection team has completed the inspection, and all "problems" have issued reports, and the personnel sent by the shipyard have also marked What equipment can't be kept, do you still want to go up and have a look?"

Allen nodded without speaking, just walked slowly to the side of the boat and boarded the boat.

The Cardiff, which has been in service for less than ten years, has undergone major maintenance. In theory, it is now a [-]-year-old warship.

The technical indicators designed for this thing at the time were that the theoretical service period was at least 25 years, but under normal circumstances, the technical specifications and standards of warships are high, as long as the maintenance is in place and the service period is 40 years, it will not be a problem.

Even if it is decommissioned, it can be maintained for another 30 to [-] years if it is sold to other countries.

One plus here, how long is the theoretical service life?
In addition, now that this thing is going to be converted into a civilian yacht, the use environment and use intensity will be greatly reduced. Not to mention, as long as this ship is well maintained, it can basically be used by Allen when he is old. when.

As long as the yacht is refitted at that time, with a length of 125 meters and a standard displacement of 3150 tons, a full load displacement of more than 4000 tons, it can jump into the top ten super private yachts in the world, or even enter the top five. .

As long as you fill up the oil and bring supplies, Alan and a hundred servants will go to sea once, and the self-sustaining ability can reach one and a half months!
When the time comes, wherever you want to go, you can go on a yacht, and you can be the master of the sea!

Think about the concept of a private yacht with a length of 125 meters and a width of 14.3 meters?
For ordinary residential and commercial high-rise communities, the standard height of each floor is 3.5 meters to 125 meters. Generally, a height of [-] meters is good, [-] meters.
The concept of a [-]-storey, four-family and three-bedroom community directly lying in the sea
It is not enough to say a palace on the sea.

Seeing a large number of weapons marked with demolition signs, Allen felt very distressed.

"Do these all have to be removed?"

They are all good guns and missile launchers.

"Uh"

Looking at Alan's appearance, Thomas could only persuade against his will: "Your Excellency, these are all offensive weapons. If you keep them forcibly, it will be very troublesome to call at ports in other countries when you are playing outside!"

"Um"

Allen looked at the only remaining weapon system in that group, which was the famous American MK15 six-tube 20mm small-caliber gun "Phalanx" close-in weapon system, and nodded with satisfaction.

As long as this thing is left, bring the supporting radar, this thing can be within ten kilometers without manual operation, and automatically defend against incoming missiles, aircraft and other weapons, of course.
It's okay to fight the boat evenly, but the main thing is that this thing is a real "defensive weapon".

Touching the naval gun again, Allen said with a look of reluctance: "Has the buyer of the weapon system been arranged?"

These weapons cannot be kept for use, but can be sold for money!

And the money from the sale will be distributed to everyone who has worked hard on this matter, which is regarded as everyone's welfare, so Thomas has been watching here.

"All contacted, they are Argentines. They want to test the performance of the weapon, study it, and maybe order a new warship by then."

"???"

Allen suddenly turned his head and glanced at Thomas.

"Fack, you are a fucking talent, how did you get in touch with the Argentine?"

A few years ago, the two sides hammered each other with bruised noses and swollen faces, and Daying won miserably. Now they turned around and came to buy weapons?
"Uh, this is the person in charge of the shipyard. It is said that someone from the Admiralty introduced it."

Thomas didn't understand what was in it, he was just in charge of the superficial guard.

"Oh"

Allen nodded, it seems that those people who have a relationship with him have intervened, no wonder they can still bring in new orders.

The construction of such a destroyer can directly or indirectly provide more than 3000 jobs for shipyards and related supporting enterprises. It is still very powerful to think about.

Gentlemen of Great Britain, as long as you can give the money, it doesn't matter who you are, you can sell it anyway.

Argentina has personally experienced the power of this type of destroyer. Although they have sunk two ships, they are deluding themselves. If this type of warship is not a threat, why would they attack it?

really
You have to try something before you buy it!

"Okay, let them tow it away. You will be responsible for the follow-up contact with the shipyard. You can show me the design drawings and budget, and then hand them over to me."

Allen walked down the gangway, looked at the hull number on the side of the bow silently in the shadows, and said goodbye to the Cardiff silently. From now on, you can retire with peace of mind and eat, drink and have fun with me.

Seeing the workers getting ready to board the ship, Allen was not allowed to stay here for a long time.

In this era, the Internet is about to be born. In the future, information will become more and more developed, and there will be more and more idlers. In this way, there will be fewer opportunities for fair and honest gain.

In a few decades, if there are people who are idle and hurting, take a short video and post it on the Internet, maybe outsiders will say something, it’s fine now, once the port is closed, there are no outsiders, even if it’s far away Some people can see this warship and don't think too much about it.

All the procedures of this warship are "authentic" and follow the procedures. Even if someone exposes it in the future, they will not be able to find faults.
