The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 271, Exploding Revenue (please vote for me)

At the end of April 1963, the headquarters of China Resources Corporation in Hong Kong Island.

Raymond, Comrade Tang Dake, Felix, Youmen Saburo, Gregory, Howard and others all gathered in the conference room.

In addition, Liu Guanzhong was really surprised that more than ten unfamiliar faces appeared this time.

For example, Solmanfu Company in the Iberian Peninsula sent Suarez and Negro.

Li Bingzhe of Peninsula Samsung came to Hong Kong Island in person to attend this meeting. I don’t know where he got the news.

There are also other small companies that I have never heard of, including two companies from Southeast Asia.

All I can say is that money and silk touch people’s hearts!

You know, the transmission of information in this era is very slow.

Therefore, Liu Guanzhong didn't quite understand how Li Bingzhe, Suarez and others knew this information and came to Hong Kong Island in person?

Or maybe they have known about China Resources for a long time, and this time they happened to seize the opportunity, so they want to get a share of the pie?

No matter what, Liu Guanzhong welcomes the arrival of these people.

After all, when following the maze, you still need to pay attention to whether there is a 'ghost face symbol' on the path ahead, otherwise, once it is eaten, the game will be over.

"First of all, I welcome you all to take the time to attend our China Resources New Product Agents Meeting. On behalf of China Resources, I would like to thank you for coming."

In the picture, the six characters A, B, B, D, W, and Ji form a corridor-like maze. Four cute "ghost-faced symbols" in red, yellow, blue, and green colors shuttle through the maze, seeming to be looking for a half-open and half-closed yellow circle. symbol.

The background of this game is mainly black.

Therefore, Comrade Tang Dake was fascinated by the game.

There was a game console next door, but Yumon Saburo took the first place.

It is conceivable that the new product launched by China Resources this time is really awesome for the game that makes people like Raymond so fascinated.

But their performance just now fell into Liu Guanzhong's eyes.

That is the lottery mode!

Including Comrade Tang Dake, no one was surprised when they heard what Liu Guanzhong said next.

Liu Guanzhong did not show off, but after announcing the general rules, he took out the trial home version of the game console.

The direction button on the game remote control can control the direction and trajectory of the yellow circle symbol, and after taking action, you can swallow the small beans on the maze path.

What everyone is looking forward to more is this new product from China Resources.

It was only then that they seemed to come to their senses: they were not here to play games, but to make money.

Because only with more people can China Resources have a better chance of winning.

Although game cartridges are a relatively backward technology, they were only developed five or six years ago, so game cartridges are not considered a very backward technology.

Liu Guanzhong ordered the staff to take out the two game consoles and install them for Raymond, Comrade Tang Dake, Gregory and others to try them out.

After understanding the rules of Pac-Man, I started playing immediately.

Everyone hopes to pass the entire game, instead of being stopped in the simple maze of the first level.

Even Lee Byung-cheol, Suarez, Negro and others are no exception.

Therefore, they do not need to answer Liu Guanzhong's words. The latter probably already has the answer in his heart.

Comrade Tang Dake became completely addicted after playing for a while, just because it was so interesting.

As a result, Comrade Tang Dake and others suddenly looked full of regret and reluctance.

But the others behind him were anxious because they also wanted to give it a try.

Just listen!

As for agents?

In fact, the name is just nice, but in reality, it is probably still the same as before.

To be honest, this group of people is really funny. They are obviously in their forties or fifties, but they still act like teenagers and play games like they don't recognize their relatives.

Liu Guanzhong and several staff members had been watching from the side, staring at the expressions of Raymond and his group.

In the conference room, Liu Guanzhong looked at everyone with a smile and said straight to the point:

Judging from the design here, there are not many Chinese elements.

These are the general rules of the Pac-Man game. It is very simple and highly playable.

"Everyone, this is the latest product of our China Resources Company. You can all come forward and try it out to see if the performance, entertainment, etc. of this product meet your expectations."

Comrade Tang Dake, as an 'Internet addicted boy', was the first to start the trial.

In the next hour, the conference room turned into a temporary game console room and became a place for everyone to play games.

However, if you encounter the 'ghost face symbol', you will be eaten.

However, this time and space was not only advanced to 1963 by Chen Guohua, but also transformed from arcade games to game cartridges in home games.

After hearing Liu Guanzhong's words, everyone including Raymond, Howard, Gregory and others wanted to say something against their will.

In the original history of time and space, Pac-Man was released by a Tokyo game company in 1980 and is considered one of the most classic arcade games in the 1980s.

An hour later, the trial ended, and Liu Guanzhong asked someone to put the game console away.

"What do you think of our new game console?"

Opening up new markets is the best news for China Resources.

Moreover, the six characters A, B, C, Ding, Wu and Ji are also quite easy to distinguish.

This is a polite statement.

For example, Samsung's Lee Byung-cheol doesn't have technology like cassettes at all.

There is also Solmanfu Company in the Iberian Peninsula. They also have not mastered such technology.

If they need technology, they will definitely be able to purchase this technology and equipment from North America or elsewhere.

As for developing a game console like Pac-Man?

Just refer to the failure cases of IBM, Cray, and Texas Instruments.

After April last year, Cray, Texas Instruments, IBM, etc., have already obtained the "Ping Pong" game arcade, but so far they have only copied the outline, but have not been able to come up with the core technology.

Another example is the earlier Huaxin radio. This electronic product has a wholesale price of 49 US dollars and a retail price of 59 US dollars. In April last year, Toshiba and Cray had already obtained it. .

And after the two companies got it, they quickly started selling it.

After all, the monthly output of Yao Ling Yao Factory is not low, and the two companies have signed a relatively high-cost contract, so they must sell it as soon as possible to recover blood as soon as possible.

A full year has passed since April last year. What kind of counterfeit products have come out from companies like IBM and others that engage in counterfeiting?

It is said that it is difficult to draw the bones of a cat or a tiger. Companies like Cray Co. want to imitate, but in the end they only get the shape, but not the essence.

IBM's two technical tycoons, Winkelmann and McDowell, have been busy for a long time. As a result, until now, they have only come up with the theory of digital signal processing technology and want to develop this technology. , become a real thing.

Even if it is applied to radios, it will still take some time.

Moreover, even if the digital signal processing technology is solved, there is also the alloy material ratio of the metal shell, as well as frequency modulation technology, as well as the materials of the earphones, etc.

All of this takes time to settle.

Unfortunately, what they lack most is time.

What people like Little Watson and Raymond are most afraid of is that after a year or two, they really come up with a product similar to Huaxin Radio, but the price will be reduced when China Resources Company changes hands.

Or, if you come up with a better radio right away, Watson and the others will definitely be dumbfounded.

As we all know, the size of today's Huaxin radio is about the thickness of a finger.

With such a size, the requirements for many materials are also very high.

Taken together, Huaxin radio has not been perfectly copied until now, and it is due to the above reasons.

Therefore, judging from past experience, the world-famous IBM, as well as rising stars such as Cray and Texas Instruments, have not been able to successfully imitate them.

What's more, companies like Solmanford and Samsung that have not yet started are even less likely to imitate.

Of course, just because people like Li Bingzhe and Suarez can realize this doesn't mean they won't be moved.

From the perspective of profit, we always develop new products ourselves, which has more profit margins.

In the history of the original time and space, Tokyo's semiconductor industry has risen rapidly since the 1970s.

Their products are not the latest on the market, but the electronic products they develop, such as game consoles, radios, electronic notepads, calculators, and computers, will always be 10% cheaper than other products on the market.

It is this price differentiation competition that has allowed Tokyo companies such as Sony and Toshiba to rise rapidly.

Especially during the period from 1980 to 1985 in the original time and space, first of all, the US dollar appreciated by 60%, which impacted the competitiveness of North American export commodities.

In just five years, North America's trade deficit expanded sharply from US$36.4 billion in 1980 to US$148.5 billion in 1985.

It has increased by three times.

Among them, North America's trade deficit with Tokyo is the main reason.

In 1978 in the original time and space, the trade deficit between North America and Tokyo exceeded 10 billion US dollars for the first time. By 1985, it reached 50 billion US dollars.

Accounts for one-third of North America's trade deficit.

This trade deficit was the main reason why Tokyo and Berlin were forced to go to the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, New York, to sign the agreement back in the original time and space.

Because this is North America's consistent strategy, using the depreciation of the US dollar to harvest global wealth.

Of course, at this time, North America was not so bold as to directly let the Federal Reserve print money.

Otherwise, it will not be Tokyo that suffers, but a global economic crisis.

From the history of the original time and space, it is not difficult to find that there will always be smart people.

However, when faced with decision-making, some people chose the wrong direction, which resulted in a real estate bubble like Tokyo. Then they were forced to pop the rapidly expanding real estate balloon in the 1990s. Over the next thirty years, Here, I had to work to pay off my debts.

This is the history of the original time and space. After the 1990s, Tokyo's economy almost stood still in the past thirty years.

Because all the money earned has to be used to pay off debts, how can it be consumed?

Without consumption, how can there be economic growth?

And some people choose the right response, such as Berlin, which easily overcame the disadvantages caused by the Plaza Accord.

There are many smart people in this world, but not every smart person can make the right decision.

"Very good, a great game console with high playability, but I would like to know what the wholesale price and retail price are?"

After hearing Liu Guanzhong's words, Comrade Tang Dake was the first to speak.

As a young man from a wealthy family, Comrade Tang Dake's plans for his future have somewhat deviated from his father and grandmother's plans.

According to his father and grandmother's plan, he would go directly to college after finishing high school.

After you graduate from college, you can slowly think about other things.

However, this path has now been broadened by Comrade Tang Dake himself.

Although he is still studying at the New York Military Academy, he is working part-time.

As long as there is an opportunity to make money from China Resources, Comrade Tang Dake will not miss it.

After all, he has already earned more than 17 million US dollars since the beginning of this year.

This time, China Resources has brought out the latest game consoles and cassettes, which is bound to set off a new wave in the market.

Faced with such a lucrative opportunity, how could Comrade Tang Dake miss it?

Not only will he not miss it, he is even the most positive person.

Following Comrade Tang Dake's words, some businessmen who were still thinking of saying something against their will suddenly shut up and stared directly at Liu Guanzhong, wanting to know what the price was.

The two prices, wholesale price and retail price, are related to their vital interests.

It’s okay not to be serious!

Hearing this, Liu Guanzhong smiled happily and said:

"All wholesale prices purchased from China Resources are uniform prices. The game console is US$1,299 and the retail price is US$1,499."

"The wholesale price of the game cartridge is US$159 and the retail price is US$199."

"There are more people participating in the draw this time, so the order of the draw must be determined first before starting the draw."

Following Liu Guanzhong's words, Raymond and the others suddenly understood, but their backs were dripping with cold sweat.

Especially Raymond. Currently, Cray Company alone has tens of thousands of game arcade machines.

The home version of the game console has already been launched, what should I do?

The "Ping Pong" arcade game is very awesome, but it is expensive. One unit costs US$3,999, and the wholesale price is still US$3,499.

This price is very different from the US$1,299 of the home version of the game console.

Although they are targeted at different customer groups, they are all game consoles after all. They are similar products, so it is a certainty that they will be impacted.

Therefore, Raymond was naturally very nervous.

I wish I could sell all the tens of thousands of "Ping Pong" game arcade machines in my hands right away.

But these are 3,999 game arcade machines. How could they be sold out so quickly?

Comrade Tang Dake, Howard, Frazier and others all looked at Raymond with schadenfreude, their expressions seemed to say: I made you eat alone in the first place? Are you trapped in a cocoon now?

After all, no one expected that the two aircraft carrier captains, Wembley and Conklin, would drive away the two major aircraft carrier fleets under very sudden circumstances.

It was not just as simple as leaving Victoria Harbor, but completely leaving the South China Sea.

Without an aircraft carrier fleet, the so-called ban would be in name only.

Is it even possible that North America will suddenly declare the ban invalid?

But it doesn't matter. After all, China Resources' products can now enter and leave Hong Kong smoothly.

Therefore, the backlog of goods in the hands of Raymond and his company has become a big problem.

Sensing the unkind looks from Fraser, Howard, Comrade Tang Dake and others, Raymond's expression suddenly darkened.

However, at this time, Raymond did not fight back.

He had to think about how to get through this.

At the same time, how to buy some time.

"Mr. Liu, can we talk first?"

Suddenly, Raymond interrupted everyone's discussion and wanted to drag Liu Guanzhong to the next room to discuss.

Frazier's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said:

"Mr. Liu, don't be fooled. He is destroying the market order and rules."

Frazier and Raymond had already had a feud before. Now there was an opportunity to add insult to injury. How could Frazier miss it?

Hearing this, Liu Guanzhong shook his head slightly.

China Resources opened its doors to do business, naturally to maximize profits.

You cannot break the rules you set, but you can consider them as appropriate within the rules.

How could Liu Guanzhong not know about Clay Company's backlog of goods?

The capital side is also very clear.

But one thing is also clear, that is, the Majuqiao Industrial Park in Beijing has a backlog of more than 400,000 home version game consoles.

This is an extremely huge amount.

At this moment, Liu Guanzhong has not announced the current production and inventory at Majuqiao Industrial Park, so the lottery has not yet started.

In this case, give Raymond a chance to see what the other party wants to say.

Seeing Liu Guanzhong and Raymond leaving the conference room, Frazier, Howard, Gregory and others were all furious.

But there is nothing we can do.

Raymond wants to be a monster, and Liu Guanzhong has gradually developed the "ferocity and cunning" of a capitalist, so it is not surprising that the two of them are now working together.

As for whether Liu Guanzhong will do something that breaks the rules, it depends on the price of Raymond.

In the office next door, Raymond did not rush to speak, but first determined whether the office was hidden and whether the sound insulation effect was good.

Regarding this question, Liu Guanzhong nodded directly and said there was no problem, it was safe and he could speak with confidence.

After confirming, Raymond spoke directly:

"Mr. Liu, I am willing to pay a high price to lock in all the home version game consoles of your China Resources Company in advance. Is it feasible?"

"No, this is breaking the rules and is absolutely not allowed." Liu Guanzhong shook his head and refused without thinking.

He can give Raymond a chance, but he will not tell the other party specific information.

Anyway, as long as it's within the rules, you can do something about it.

"Mr. Liu, you have to know that at the end of March, I purchased a large amount of goods from you and emptied your inventory."

Raymond was not surprised when he heard Liu Guanzhong's refusal, because what he said just now was originally a tentative inquiry.

It is normal to be rejected now.

So he started to complain, trying to persuade Liu Guanzhong by bringing them closer to each other.

Haha, playing the emotional card?

Everyone knows why Raymond was in such a hurry to clear out his inventory. As for why the goods are unsalable, the biggest inducement is the sudden departure of Wembley and his two major aircraft carrier fleets.

The second is Raymond's decision. First, he uses merchant ships for transportation. This is to save transportation costs.

The second is to sell it at a high price. The purchase price is 3,499 and the selling price is 6,800 or even 7,000 US dollars.

All said and done, it's still too greedy.

If it weren't for greed, Cray would not be in trouble.

"Sorry, Raymond, after China Resources' goods are sold, as long as it is not a product quality problem, then we are not responsible for it."

Liu Guanzhong shook his head again without hesitation.

After all, if China Resources can continue to be responsible for subsequent transportation and other issues, does it mean that they can also get a share of the pie?

But this is impossible, because China Resources' own mission indicators are also under heavy pressure.

This year, we need to complete the task target of US$3.6 billion. Although US$110.76 billion has been completed, we must understand that it is still more than US$2.0 billion.

Tremendous stress!

No one knows whether the ban may come again.

Even if Dean Rusk is about to go to Pakistan, who knows how it will develop next?

You know, the relationship between Helu and us was sweet at first, just like a honeymoon.

But later on, they fell out with each other, and there was no trace of affection at all.

Therefore, Liu Guanzhong clearly understands this. There is no problem in cooperating with foreigners, but after all, he still needs to leave some escape routes for himself.

To avoid repeating the mistakes of 1960.

Hearing Liu Guanzhong's rejection again, Raymond did not lose heart. After taking a deep breath, he continued:

"Mr. Liu, I don't know how much inventory you China Resources currently has, but I hope I can bid a price of US$1,399 and lock in 90% of the goods. Is that okay?"

"In this case, you are not breaking the rules."

When Liu Guanzhong heard this, he really wanted to praise him for being such a smart person.

One thousand three hundred and ninety-nine dollars will make him violate his principles?

It's just a hundred dollars more than 1,299.

However, one cannot force it too much.

Clay Company has indeed made a lot of money by cooperating with China Resources Company.

So this time, it’s normal for Clay Company to cut some blood, right?

"It's true that we haven't violated the principle, but are you sure you really want to do this? And I definitely won't tell you how much inventory we have right now."

Liu Guanzhong nodded and continued:

"If you are really sure, then I will definitely mention this to you, but the people next door have been waiting, and I can't keep them waiting for too long."

When Raymond heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said:

"In that case, I will add ten more US dollars, for a total wholesale price of 1,409 US dollars, and fully purchase the game consoles currently in stock from your China Resources Company, okay?"

"No, the game cartridges must also be together. They must not be sold separately."

After hearing Liu Guanzhong's words, Raymond nodded directly.

A $199 game cartridge doesn't make much profit at all.

It can also be seen from the unit price that this time the game console is actually based on quantity.

Of course, a box of 1991 game cartridges is still a very expensive electronic product.

But without a game console, just buying game cartridges is useless.

Maybe someone would be smart enough to just buy game cartridges and then go to other people’s homes to play the games?

"Mr. Liu, the same goes for game cartridges. I will collect as much inventory as you have, and the unit price is only one hundred and seventy-nine dollars. How about that?"

This wave of Raymond's blood can be considered a massive hemorrhage.

But it seems like a massive hemorrhage, but in fact, once he really gets these goods, he might even make a fortune.

After all, it seems that the profit is much lower, but you can still win with large quantities.

"Then wait for me a moment and I'll go consult."

Liu Guanzhong pondered for a moment and then said that he could apply for the other party.

In Beijing, regarding today's matter, Qiu Zongyue came directly to Zhenhua Research Institute and waited in the director's office.

Moreover, he has already had a video call with Qi Chunsong from Baiyun City, and it has never been disconnected.

After all, China Resources is recruiting investment. Whether it can succeed or not is of great importance.

Soon, Qi Chunsong relayed the message sent by Liu Guanzhong to Qiu Zongyue.

When the latter heard this, he immediately asked someone to call Chen Guohua back.

In the optical instrument laboratory, Chen Guohua is testing a new product with Xue Jinquan and others.

A digital SLR camera with 100% functionality for future generations has been developed.

This SLR camera can be compared to the D1 launched by Nikon in .

The Huaxing SLR digital camera designed by Chen Guohua uses a 3.3 million-pixel charge-coupled device image sensor.

It has basic JPEG compression and uncompressed digital storage functions, and can set time-lapse shooting, playback, photo preview and other functions.

At the same time, these photo data can be transferred back to the computer for browsing. Of course, the resolution of the computer still needs to be improved.

The pixels of Huaxing SLR digital cameras can still be improved. After all, 3.3 million pixels are still very average pixels.

A two-inch LCD display is the ultimate technology that Zhenhua Research Institute can achieve at present.

Just because too many researchers have been transferred to the aerospace engine laboratory, equipment research and development laboratory, etc., the progress of display development has become slow.

When the test was almost done, Chen Guohua said to Xue Jinquan:

"We can seize the time to develop a standard zoom lens, a 50mm fixed focus lens and a telephoto lens."

"No problem, Lao Chen, just look at me."

Xue Jinquan patted his chest and agreed happily.

At this time, Ma Mingwei came over and called Chen Guohua. When the latter heard that Qiu Zongyue called him, he immediately left the laboratory.

In the director's office, after Chen Guohua learned about China Resources' affairs, he immediately shook his head and refused:

"There is no need to be greedy for this benefit, just implement it according to our established plan."

"As for Cray Company, that is their company's decision-making issue, and there is no need for us to get involved."

I definitely can’t be a good guy!

Because when you intervene in other people's causes, you have to bear other people's consequences.

Regarding such cases, there should not be too many in reality.

In his previous life, Chen Guohua had a roommate who had to bear the consequences because he got involved in other people's problems.

The reason is that when I was in college, the four people in Chen Guohua's dormitory had a good relationship and could chat with each other very well.

As a result, they became brothers with different surnames. Among them, Zhang Jianyong, the dormitory chief, and Feng Xinbao, the roommate opposite Chen Guohua, had the best relationship.

When they graduated, Zhang Jianyong and Feng Xinbao agreed that if they got married and had children in the future, they would have their children recognize each other as their foster fathers.

As a result, a few years after graduation, Zhang Jianyong got married and had a daughter, Zhang Xinyi, so as agreed, Feng Xinbao became Zhang Xinyi's adoptive father.

As a foster father, Feng Xinbao is very responsible for Zhang Xinyi, a foster daughter.

On days such as the full moon and the first birthday, Feng Xinbao will take the initiative to buy gifts and give red envelopes to the little guy Zhang Xinyi.

Almost every birthday is not missed.

Originally this was nothing, but the problem was that when Zhang Xinyi was four years old, Zhang Jianyong divorced his wife.

If you want to get divorced, just get divorced. This is human nature.

However, Zhang Jianyong and his wife left the house, leaving their daughter Zhang Xinyi to Zhang Jianyong.

But Zhang Jianyong is still young and wants to marry again. With Zhang Xinyi as a dragster, it will definitely be impossible to talk about it again.

So Zhang Jianyong wanted to send the woman back to her parents in the countryside, but Feng Xinbao couldn't help but persuade her.

Just because Feng Xinbao has a good relationship with Zhang Jianyong. He has met the latter's parents and knows how powerful Zhang Jianyong's mother is.

If Zhang Xinyi was raised by that old lady, that would definitely not work.

After some persuasion, Feng Xinbao successfully shouldered the other half of the alimony expenses, and Zhang Xinyi also stayed at Feng Xinbao's home from time to time.

Even when she was five years old, Zhang Xinyi spent half of the month with Feng Xinbao and the other half at the home of her biological father, Zhang Jianyong.

A few years later, when Zhang Xinyi was eight years old, Zhang Jianyong remarried.

Feng Xinbao is even worse. He is a single man and has raised Zhang Xinyi, his adopted daughter, from a young age to the age of eight now. He has already developed feelings for her.

As for Zhang Jianyong's remarried daughter-in-law, Zhang Xinyi's stepmother, she didn't want Zhang Jianyong to have an eldest daughter.

So Feng Xinbao became his 'biological father', Zhang Jianyong became his 'adopted father', and Zhang Xinyi spent more time at the former's home.

Even when Zhang Jianyong enrolled Zhang Xinyi in a piano class, Feng Xinbao also enrolled her in a dance class just because Zhang Xinyi liked her.

As time goes by, Zhang Xinyi grows up day by day, but Feng Xinbao is still single.

Until one day, the teacher of the dance class came to Feng Xinbao and said that the child Zhang Xinyi was very talented and it would be a waste of talent not to send her to a better school to practice dancing.

After Feng Xinbao inquired, he learned that provincial-level schools cost tens of thousands of yuan less, and national-level schools cost tens of thousands more.

It was still the first decade of the new millennium, and tens of thousands of dollars was a lot of money.

So Feng Xinbao found Zhang Jianyong and let the latter, his biological father, make the choice.

As a result, Zhang Jianyong refused because he had no money.

But the irony is that not long after, Zhang Jianyong gave birth to a second child.

Good guy, it was still family planning at that time, and Zhang Jianyong’s second child was so explosive!

You don’t have money to raise your eldest daughter, but you have money to have a second child?

What a shitty dad, Zhang Xinyi's status in the family can be imagined.

Even after Zhang Jianyong gave birth to his second child, while he was busy avoiding the situation, he even called Chen Guohua and others to have a dinner.

They said they were discussing matters, that is, letting Feng Xinbao adopt Zhang Xinyi.

hiss!

Only Zhang Jianyong could say that Zhang Xinyi was his biological daughter, so he just let Feng Xinbao adopt her?

What's more, Feng Xinbao doesn't meet the adoption procedures. After all, he and Zhang Xinyi are no more than forty years old.

It was because of this incident that they broke up in the end.

Chen Guohua and the other three people in the dormitory later had no contact.

This is life experience!

The Feng Xinbao incident is almost the same as the issue raised by Liu Guanzhong now.

So just refuse it directly.

Don't get involved in these causes and effects from the beginning, not to mention that capitalists always put interests first.

What Liu Guanzhong needs to do is to ensure that the interests of China Resources are not damaged. As for other things, he can just watch from the sidelines.

Anyway, Cray Company has already made money and is unlikely to lose money.

After receiving the news from the capital, Liu Guanzhong even rejected Raymond.

The latter was naturally very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The situation is stronger than the people, what can Raymond do?

In the conference room, Fraser, Comrade Tang Dake, Howard and others suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the mournful Raymond coming back behind Liu Guanzhong.

Then he looked at Raymond with a sneer, his eyes full of gloating.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, let's continue"

Liu Guanzhong spoke, and everyone looked solemn. Even Raymond also calmed down and planned to get more game console shares later.

Soon, the order of drawing lots was determined and the drawing officially began.

Once the lottery begins, it means that everyone will immediately know how much goods China Resources will bring out this time.

This allows us to deduce the production volume of this product.

Almost everyone held their breath. The first lucky person to draw lots was Comrade Tang Dake.

He directly won two thousand game consoles.

Subsequently, the first round of drawing ended, and more than twenty companies were selected, with some receiving more than 3,000 pieces of equipment, and some with as few as 1,000 pieces of equipment.

In other words, this round, the total has exceeded 40,000 devices.

And there are still ten rounds to go.

Almost certainly four hundred thousand devices.

After calculating this result in his mind, Raymond's expression became even paler. On the other hand, some of the others were happy and some were sad.

why?

Because many people are the owners of game console rooms. After all, this is the most profitable situation.

Nowadays, the home version of the game console has appeared, and the number is still so large.

It is almost certain that the impact of home game consoles on game arcades will be unprecedented.

Among the crowd, only a few people, including Comrade Tang Dake, showed great excitement.

For example, Comrade Tang Dake has all cash on hand and does not care whether there is an impact or not.

The profit of the home version of the game console is almost 200 US dollars, and the profit of the game cartridge is almost 40 US dollars.

The cost is not high. Comrade Tang Dake can definitely obtain 20,000 pieces of equipment and 20,000 to 30,000 cassettes.

In short, he will definitely make a lot of money this time.

Soon, the lottery was over, and everyone went to the meeting room opposite to sign the contract and pay the money according to the number drawn, and then took the receipt to the dock to pick up the goods.

Now is the time to race against time, no one dares to delay.

The conference room opposite is larger, and staff from Bank of China and China Resources are all ready.

Even foreign banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Citibank, and American Express Bank also sent representatives.

There is no way, China Resources Corporation always makes big moves, and banks like them have to send staff to assist.

Because they need to provide better services to big customers such as Comrade Tang Dake, Raymond, and Fraser.

You can't, you have to ask Raymond and the others to go to the bank, right?

As Raymond, Yumon Saburo and others arrived at this large conference room, the scene instantly became lively.

However, the excitement soon calmed down after the check was delivered.

Because Comrade Tang Dake and others had already left the scene and went directly to the dock to pick up the goods.

Some people have already contacted the cargo plane and will take off directly after the goods are loaded.

Needless to say, Comrade Tang Dake and others know how to do business very well.

Every time you do business, it is not simple.

For example, when arriving from North America to Hong Kong Island, the first few flights were empty, but later they returned to Hong Kong Island with full cargo.

Because China Resources is quite interested in some equipment, it always asks people like Raymond to help purchase it.

As for the equipment that is prohibited from being exported?

That's not the case!

Anyway, just let people like Raymond and others earn a little. After all, it is not an embargoed device.

Time passed quickly, and Liu Guanzhong finally waited for the final statistical results in the office.

The 420,000 devices and 420,000 game cartridges in stock have all been sold out.

Based on wholesale prices of US$1,299 and US$159, the total revenue is US$612.3 million.

This revenue may not seem like much, but it is actually a lot.

Adding in the previous 11.076 billion US dollars, the total revenue is 1.72 billion US dollars.

There is only less than US$9 billion left from the revenue target of US$3.6 billion.

When Liu Guanzhong saw this number, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but ask again:

"Have you confirmed that all the money has entered the Bank of China?"

Money that goes into your pocket is money.

Seeing the staff nodding excitedly and seriously, Liu Guanzhong smiled happily.

The capital is also very happy, but Chen Guohua is more concerned about the market performance of the next Pac-Man game.

PS: Woohoo, please give me a monthly ticket. I’ve been in a terrible state these past two days. Please support me and thank you!
