The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination
Chapter 290, New Product Launch
September 1964, Hong Kong Island, China Resources Corporation headquarters.
In order to accommodate the biannual new product launches, China Resources has acquired the restaurants and residential buildings next to it.
After the acquisition, a ten-story office building was rebuilt.
Next to the office building, a hall was also built. This hall is a super hall that can accommodate 1,500 people. It is somewhat similar to halls such as movie theaters and auditoriums.
With such a hall, it will be much more convenient for China Resources to launch new products in the future.
September is a crisp autumn day, and China Resources Corporation has welcomed many guests from all over the world.
The lively hall was filled with many people.
This time, Westinghouse Electric and North American Radio Company, as well as the Morgan Consortium and the California Consortium also sent representatives to attend China Resources' new product launch conference.
Just because China Resources is becoming more and more famous in Europe and the United States.
Even a second-tier trading company like Loft can achieve a revenue of two billion US dollars. One can imagine how terrible China Resources' own revenue is.
In fact, in March this year, China Resources had already received US$3.659 billion in revenue from Huashuo Computer's new product.
As for the agency rights of pagers in Europe, Barzani and other Middle Eastern tycoons paid US$6.74 billion.
Just from these two items, China Resources' revenue has reached US$10.399 billion.
There are also other electronic products such as electronic notepads, calculators, radios, and game consoles. The revenue may not be much, but at least hundreds of millions of dollars are accounted for every month.
After March, starting from April, Huashuo Computer's monthly output was 50,000 units, and all of them were sold out.
From April to September, a total of five months, the wholesale price of each Huashuo computer was US$8,999, so the revenue was US$2.249 billion.
That’s it, not counting revenue from shampoo, hardware, clothing, etc.
Therefore, before the new product launch, China Resources' revenue had exceeded US$15 billion.
Companies with such explosive revenue, even the Morgan Consortium, the California Consortium, etc., can't help but be excited.
It's so arrogant!
At the new product launch conference, Liu Guanzhong took a deep breath and started today's conference.
The new product brought out this time is an improved version of the game console, just like squeezing out toothpaste, with the addition of Tetris and Super Mario games.
Game consoles have made some improvements in terms of consoles, keyboards, etc., and there are not many technological innovations.
However, the two games Tetris and Super Mario are very awesome.
During Liu Guanzhong's live demonstration, the 1,500 agents, reporters, big bosses and others who participated in the press conference were all stunned.
Because these two games are even crazier than Pac-Man.
The game is simple and easy to understand, and the operation is not difficult. The key is the game settings and entertainment, which are very, very high.
What's more, the Super Mario game is also a puzzle game. It is not only entertaining, but also very helpful in improving intelligence.
Well, these are all advertising slogans spoken by Liu Guanzhong. Anyway, he himself has a thick skin that is difficult to pierce, so it doesn't matter.
Tetris is a casual game that is also known as a puzzle.
Anyway, its playability is enough to attract consumers to spend money to buy it.
The game console must be replaced together. Although it is a game console that uses a card, it does not support the previous Pac-Man game console.
So therein lies the limitation.
Of course, the price of the Pac-Man console will definitely drop, allowing it to gradually sink into the secondary market so that more people can afford the game.
On the contrary, Tetris and Super Mario, two games and consoles, will become new hot hits.
"The two game cartridges are sold together with the game console. The wholesale price is US$1,999 and the retail price is US$2,599."
Hearing Liu Guanzhong's words, everyone at the scene perked up, and then under everyone's expectant eyes, the former revealed the current inventory.
As the most popular games, Chen Guohua has high hopes for these two games.
So he asked Majuqiao Industrial Park to produce a lot, and the inventory directly exceeded two million sets of game consoles and game cartridges.
The reason why Qiu Zongyue and other leaders agreed to Chen Guohua's 'crazy' suggestion actually had a lot to do with the situation last year.
The entire 1963 period was quite crazy, with many twists and turns.
At the beginning of the year, the higher-ups thought that the maximum foreign exchange income in 2063 would be US$1.5 billion.
But at the end of March, Raymond came personally to scan the goods and directly emptied the inventory of China Resources Company. In one fell swoop, China Resources Company's foreign exchange revenue reached more than 1.1 billion US dollars.
It became even more unstoppable after that, directly earning US$11.8 billion in revenue for the whole year.
Therefore, when Chen Guohua proposed to stock products such as color TVs and Super Mario game equipment, he received unanimous approval from above.
The inventory of two million game consoles and cartridges immediately made the atmosphere at the scene explode.
No one thinks about the problem of whether there is so much inventory or whether it will be unsalable. They only care about one thing: how much share they can get.
"Are they all crazy?"
Seeing the people around them being caught up in the carnival, Lannister Morgan and Von Derian next to him frowned and asked.
After hearing this, the latter patiently explained:
"Lannister, perhaps you have forgotten that the products launched by China Resources in the past few years, as long as they are new, are all popular in the market, without exception."
"Before we set off, China Resources' color TV sets were already selling like crazy in the North American market."
"According to the investigation report of Sears Department Store and the report we obtained from the tax bureau, Loft Technology has sold at least 300,000 color TV sets."
"That's 300,000 color TVs. According to their announced retail price of 359 US dollars, the revenue is 17.7 million US dollars."
"We all know that Loft Technology's purchase price is one hundred and ninety-nine dollars. They use air freight, employee wages and other expenses. The cost is up to several million dollars."
"So in just one month, their net profit has reached 40 million US dollars."
"Lannister, if you think about it carefully, which company has a monthly profit of 40 million US dollars?"
hiss!
Upon hearing von der Lean's analysis, Lenister Morgan suddenly took a breath.
That seems to be the case!
China Resources' products are so awesome, so it is normal for them to be popular.
On the other side, Bwana, Albert, Leo Bibi and others from the California consortium were also talking about it.
It is really puzzling to see such a situation at the scene.
But it is incomprehensible that the appeal of the scene has extremely impacted them, the big and pampered capitalists.
The world is changing very fast!
China Resources, which has just emerged a few years ago, is already very influential.
Soon, Liu Guanzhong had announced the bidding method. Just like the Huashuo Computer released half a year ago, the bidding method was based on a hidden bid.
Two million sets of equipment and cassettes will be divided into groups of 20, for a total of 100,000 groups.
There were 1,500 people at the scene. Excluding some reporters and others, more than 1,300 people would bid.
In other words, everyone can bid on more than seventy sets.
However, things are not that simple. Big capital will not reason with others, and they definitely want to acquire more equipment.
Lannister looked at Vonderian writing a lot of data on the quotation sheet. For example, one thousand groups of quotations were priced at 2,200 US dollars each, and the other several thousand groups were slightly cheaper.
"Why did the quotations for these hundreds of groups become 3,000 US dollars per group?"
When Feng Delian heard this, he smiled and said:
"Because judging from the quotation in March this year, the average price per group at that time was US$1,500, and the current quotation will definitely be higher."
"There are even people who are planning to do little things under the table, just like the lucky guy Raymond. He got the priority to sell color TVs just because of his good relationship with the general manager of China Resources Company."
Lannister, suddenly enlightened, then raised another question: There are currently two million sets of gaming equipment. Are you afraid that there won't be enough for everyone to grab?
"Of course not enough!"
Von Derian, who responded immediately, softened his tone immediately when he saw the shocked Lannister and said:
“Two million gaming devices may seem like a lot, but when divided evenly into the global market, it’s very small.”
"The Pac-Man game console, which went on sale at the end of April last year, has sold more than 300,000 units since May. By December, the number has increased by about 100,000 units almost every month."
"In the second half of 1963, China Resources sold between five and six million Pac-Man gaming devices. Now, the number of Pac-Man gaming devices has exceeded 15 million."
"A Pac-Man gaming device is not perfect in its entertainment properties. Looking at the current Tetris and Super Mario gaming devices, these two games can definitely detonate the market. One is much more popular than the Pac-Man game. twice the market”
"So, it is estimated that the global market will be able to fully digest the two million sets of equipment in less than a month."
After listening to Vonderian's analysis, Lannister was dumbfounded.
As a member of the Morgan family, Lannister is not a fool.
But he doesn’t know much about the game console market. He just likes to play Pac-Man and thinks it is definitely a very fun casual game, perfect for killing time.
Lannister's favorite thing is to make money in the financial market.
However, he was probably used to sitting in a well and looking at the sky, and he never thought that besides the financial market, there were businesses that were more profitable than finance.
Of course, Lannister also knows that arms trading is very profitable, but this is not an industry that ordinary people can get involved in.
Moreover, arms trading also pays attention to the off-peak season. Anyway, there is no war now, so it is considered the off-season.
To be more serious, North America and Monkey were having a very hot fight over there in Haizhou City, so it cannot be said that there was no war.
But if you want to figure it out, it can only be regarded as a small fight.
What's more, those monkeys are like loaches, difficult to catch or kill.
Otherwise, Wembley and others would not go to Siam Bagia to relax.
Soon, the secret bidding ended.
A few happy and a few sad!
With the full supply of two million sets of equipment, there are still hundreds of people who have not grabbed it.
You can see how crazy it is.
According to the staff's conversion, the average price quoted per group has exceeded US$2,000, reaching US$2,050 per group.
In other words, the revenue from hidden bidding alone reached US$205 million.
And for two million sets of equipment, based on the wholesale price of US$1,999, this part of the revenue is US$3.998 billion.
Lannister Morgan saw that after von der Lean completed the delivery, almost most of them won the bid, and he was immediately impressed.
"Lannister, don't be too quick to be happy. What we earn is just hard work, while China Resources makes huge profits."
Hearing the latter's words, Lannister Morgan's mind turned around and he quickly figured it out.
"So you are trying to say that China Resources has generated revenue of US$4 billion just by selling this game console? Their costs should not be low, right?"
Feng Delian shook his head and said:
"To be precise, their total revenue should be US$4.2 billion. As for their costs, I guess it will not exceed US$1 billion."
hiss!
Lannister Morgan's eyes widened, looking incredulous:
"How is this possible? Not more than a billion dollars?"
Under normal circumstances, a revenue of 4 billion U.S. dollars would cost at least 3 billion U.S. dollars, which is still a bloody profit.
But the cost of China Resources is less than one billion US dollars?
This is not a joke!
However, looking at Von Derian's serious expression, Lannister Morgan still couldn't believe it, and at the same time felt that the world was too crazy.
"Lannister, you have to think about the continent opposite. How low are their wages? The cost does not exceed one billion US dollars. It is just our guess."
"Since they have come up with so many innovative products one after another, as well as the supersonic fighter jets, atomic bombs, etc. that we have known before, do you think their country is still the ignorant and backward country it was a hundred years ago?"
of course not!
After hearing Vonderian's words, Lannister wanted to answer, but he couldn't.
Ugh!
The sleeping lion woke up, it was really terrifying!
On the other side, Liu Guanzhong has returned to the office.
Staff from Bank of China and China Resources, together with staff from HSBC, Mitsui Banking Corporation, Standard Chartered Bank, Merrill Lynch, Citibank, and American Express Bank, completed this transaction.
A transaction worth 4.2 billion US dollars is definitely a very large transaction.
At the beginning, the only banks that cooperated with China Resources were HSBC. Banks such as Merrill Lynch and Mitsui Banking Corporation joined later because the benefits were also not small.
No one wants to give up such benefits.
After all, every transaction made by China Resources is almost never less than 10 million US dollars.
With such a high transaction volume, no bank would choose to give up.
There are more banks, which is a good thing for agents and China Resources.
Therefore, there are several more bank offices or branches directly near China Resources Corporation.
It's the 1960s, the population on Hong Kong Island is not yet very large, and the buildings in Sheung Wan are not very exaggerated.
Therefore, it is very convenient for the bank to move next to China Resources Corporation.
After Liu Guanzhong reported the situation to Baiyun City, he went straight to the conference room next to him. The next step was the agency rights of the pager in North America, which must not be taken lightly.
After fermentation in the two major markets of Tokyo and Europe, the big piece of meat in North America was put to the end and successfully attracted a lot of big capital.
In the European market, there are currently only five places in operation: Great Britain, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, the Netherlands and Gallic Chicken.
Other places have not yet been officially put into operation.
Because these five places are traditional economic powers, this can be seen from the GDP of Europe in the past 1963.
These five places are all top-ranked places.
If Barzani and other Middle Eastern tycoons want to recover their costs quickly, they will naturally prioritize the development of these five places.
And in these five places, the sales of pagers in the past August did not disappoint Barzani and others.
In just five locations, 2.2 million pagers were sold in one month.
The retail price is only US$79, which is not expensive. For consumers in Great Britain and other regions, it is really cheap.
The slightly more expensive ones are monthly or annual SMS service fees.
If you don't have a yearly subscription, the pager is actually just for decoration, because there aren't that many people looking for you.
And if you want others to find you through a pager, you have to develop that habit, right?
Besides, if it wasn't for work, no one would be looking for you all day long, right?
Therefore, for annual or monthly subscriptions, the service provider will send mass text messages every day to inform you of today's weather conditions, stock information, news and other information.
In short, there will be indiscriminate bombardment from morning to night.
Let these consumers feel that their annual subscription or pager is worth buying!
The natives of the 1960s, who had never been bombarded by information, were of course very happy to receive such novel information.
In fact, people in this era have very, very few ways to obtain information.
In addition to newspapers, TV, and radio, there is also an information station at the entrance of the village or the company's pantry. Since the arrival of pagers, they can obtain this information very quickly.
Therefore, even if it is an annual service fee of US$699 or a monthly service fee of US$79, they feel that it does not matter.
Why is the annual or monthly pager service fee in Europe one hundred or ten dollars more expensive than in Tokyo?
Because this is Europe, their consumers are richer and they respect knowledge more.
In fact, in the history of the original time and space, taking Great Britain as an example, their Internet service fees were very, very expensive.
The average monthly broadband network communication costs are basically thirty to fifty pounds, which is about forty to sixty US dollars.
In short, one word stands out: expensive!
In five regions including Great Britain, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Netherlands, 2.2 million pagers were sold, with 500,000 consumers opting for monthly subscriptions and 1.2 million annual subscriptions.
This ratio is very high.
Because most consumers who choose annual subscription have upgraded to annual subscription after trying it for a few days or about a week.
Looking at it this way, Barzani's monthly service fee revenue is 870 million U.S. dollars. When including pager revenue of 170 million U.S. dollars, the total revenue is 1.04 billion U.S. dollars.
This is just one month's revenue, and there are still several regions that have not been included.
So, there’s hope for the future!
Not to mention the situation in Europe and Tokyo, this is what makes people even crazier. Six months ago, in March of this year, Siemens' revenue had reached more than 700 million, nearly 800 million U.S. dollars.
After half a year of development, the total revenue for the year has exceeded 1.8 billion U.S. dollars, and it is just around the corner to exceed 2 billion U.S. dollars.
In other words, it is not impossible for this year's revenue to exceed 2.5 billion.
At the beginning, Siemens invested more than one billion US dollars.
To put it simply, these costs can be fully recovered in about a year.
Although many people behind the scenes laughed and scolded China Resources for giving up such a profitable business, it was too stupid.
But how would they know that if these profits were not given away, China Resources would not even be qualified to enter these markets.
Precisely because these profits were given away, the qualifications, or admission tickets, to enter markets around the world were paid by companies such as Cray and Siemens.
Because these are local snakes, their local government will definitely not deal with them.
In this regard, Chen Guohua was still worried that Lyndon Johnson and others did not follow martial ethics.
After all, capital never talks about martial ethics. As long as the profits are sufficient, they will not hesitate even if they destroy everything, let alone trample on the laws of the world.
With the two major markets of Tokyo and Europe as examples, today’s competition for North American agency rights will be even more intense.
No, as soon as Liu Guanzhong walked in and before he said a few words, Leo Bibby from the California Consortium took the lead and said:
"Mr. Liu, I think your China Resources Company's hidden bidding method is unreasonable. I propose to change it to an explicit bidding method. The one with the highest price will win. How about it?"
When Liu Guanzhong heard this, he was not angry. Instead, he looked at the staff next to him and said:
"Xiao Li, who is he? Who let him in?"
The staff member named Xiao Li was a little confused, but he quickly came to his senses:
"Leader, I'm sorry, I'm going to ask him out right now."
After that, Xiao Li came to Leo Bibi and politely asked him to leave.
The conversation between the two was in English, obviously for Leo Bibi.
You should know that in such formal occasions, Liu Guanzhong always communicated in Mandarin and almost never used English.
Today is an exception.
So, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
"Fake, what do you mean?" Leo Bibi suddenly became angry. He stood up angrily and cursed at Liu Guanzhong:
"Stupid bastard, do you know who you are provoking? You are dead. I tell you, you, China Resources, are all dead."
Raymond, Frazier, Felix and others all looked on with cold eyes and said nothing.
Lannister Morgan and Von Derian looked at the scene in front of them with interest: China Resources was far tougher than they thought.
It was just a suggestion, but it was sacrificed like a monkey.
ruthless!
Perhaps Liu Guanzhong wanted to maintain the authority of China Resources, or for other reasons.
But it is undeniable that, for now, Liu Guanzhong has succeeded.
Leo Bibi was invited out. Even though Buwana and Albert were interceding beside him, Liu Guanzhong remained indifferent and signaled to Xiao Li to drive him out as soon as possible.
After the conference room became quiet, Liu Guanzhong finally spoke:
"Everyone, China Resources is an enterprise committed to the principle of fair and equitable transactions. Hidden marking is the most perfect solution we can think of..."
Shit perfect!
Comrade Tang Dake complained endlessly. The most fair and equitable transaction is to distribute it equally, right?
To put it in a high-sounding way, isn’t it just using hidden bids to maximize profits?
Half a year ago, Barzani and others made an offer of US$2.99 billion.
In today's North American market, hidden prices will only become more terrifying.
After all, all capitalists are jealous of the profits of Siemens and their two companies.
However, despite all the slander, no one dared to refute Liu Guanzhong.
After Leo Bibi was missing, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much better.
"This North American agency includes Maple Leaf Country and Eagle Sauce Country, and the situations in these two countries are very different."
Liu Guanzhong talked eloquently and explained the general situation very clearly.
As we all know, Maple Leaf Country is definitely a vast area with sparsely populated areas, and many of them are virgin forests, or ice fields.
In places like this, the construction and planning of signal base stations is particularly important.
As for Maple Leaf Country or Eagle Sauce, these two countries are very large and require a lot of signal base stations.
From an area perspective, the area of Europe is not as large as that of North America, because the Maple Leaf Country alone is almost the same size as the entire Europe.
The area of Eagle Sauce is the fourth in the world. Together with Maple Leaf Country, it is definitely much larger than Europe.
Therefore, North America needs a lot of base stations.
At the beginning, Europe needed 50,000 signal transmitters, but North America needed as many as 80,000. Even if you want to improve service quality, 100,000 is the most suitable for the actual situation.
This is very different from Tokyo before.
Originally, Chen Guohua proposed these two plans, but after Qiu Zongyue read it, he chose the plan of 100,000 signal transmitters without hesitation.
After all, this plan is most beneficial to China Resources. There is no need to save money for the capitalists.
Not to mention, since wool comes from sheep, consumers will definitely have to pay for these costs.
After all the information about Lieutenant General Liu Guan was announced, the secret bidding officially began.
One hundred thousand signal transmitters, once sold, will cost a lot of money.
While Raymond, Fraser, Comrade Tang Dake, Pandaria, Felix, Lannister Morgan and others were cautiously making quotations, something happened far away in the capital that Chen Guohua had not expected at all. .
A technical training base in the suburbs of Beijing.
This base was originally used to train foreigners in the Middle East. It was temporarily requisitioned six months ago and became a training base for many technical workers such as color TVs and air conditioners.
Chen Yuanchao has been here for the past few months, participating in training with many of his peers.
Just as the training was coming to an end, he was suddenly taken to a small dark room.
"Comrade Chen Yuanchao, can I trust you?"
There was only one light in the small dark room. In addition to Chen Yuanchao himself, there were also Qiu Zongyue and the former's training instructor Zeng Zhijun.
Hearing the latter's question, Chen Yuanchao's young face suddenly tightened, and he immediately responded crisply, "Please give instructions from the leader!"
Zeng Zhijun did not speak directly, but repeated the sentence just now. After repeating it three times, he said:
"Okay, since you are worthy of our trust, let me introduce you briefly. The person next to me is the leader sent from above. He has something to say to you."
Soon, after finishing speaking, Zeng Zhijun stood up, got up and left.
In the small dark room, only fifteen-year-old Chen Yuanchao and Qiu Zongyue were left.
The latter stared at Chen Yuanchao for a while, then suddenly smiled and said:
"As expected of the old Chen family, he has the shadow of your father's past, not bad!"
"You must be wondering why I came to you, right?"
"I won't tell you a lot of secret things. You must be aware of the army's confidentiality regulations, right?"
Chen Yuanchao tensed up his body nervously again, shouted "I know" loudly, and then recited the military confidentiality regulations.
Regarding this point, Lao Chen had already taught Chen Yuanchao a long time ago, and the latter certainly remembered it very clearly.
"Very good!" Qiu Zongyue was very satisfied. "Logically speaking, you are only fifteen years old now. I should not assign you such a task or let you join the army, but there is no way. Some people must do it."
"Next I will give you a task. You must be like your father back then."
In fact, this task is very simple and not very complicated. In order to prevent Chen Yuanchao from repeating his father's old path on the peninsula battlefield, Qiu Zongyue has already made relevant arrangements.
"You will follow the large army to Baiyun City in five days, so you still have more than four days to say goodbye to your mother, grandparents and others."
"In five days, when you set off for Baiyun City, I will tell you the specific details of the mission."
"Comrade Chen Yuanchao, do you understand clearly?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuanchao was excited in his heart, but on the surface he nodded solemnly and said loudly that he knew.
Although he has never been a soldier, he has the demeanor of a soldier. Maybe this is his tutor.
Afterwards, Chen Yuanchao disbanded with the large army. After returning to the city, he went home directly.
Because of the secret mission he performed, his family must not know about this.
Seeing that he was back, Hu Pinggu was most excited.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Chen Yuanchao seemed to have grown up a lot. If his face wasn't still so childish, one might have thought he was an adult.
Lao Chen was very pleased and praised him several times, and even gave his eldest grandson a lot of meat while eating.
When Chen Guohua saw his eldest nephew, he didn't suspect anything. Because Chen Yuanchao didn't show it, he had no idea that Qiu Zongyue had approached Chen Yuanchao.
And the latter agreed.
If Chen Guohua knew about it, he would definitely not let Chen Yuanchao accept this task.
Five days passed by in a flash, and Chen Yuanchao took his luggage and prepared to board the train going south.
Aunt Hu Ping burst into tears, and so did Yun Wanshang.
Even Lao Chen's eyes were red.
After all, this was the first time for Chen Yuanchao to leave the capital alone.
Although Chen Yuanchao also went to the suburbs for training after July, more than two months, nearly three months, have passed since September.
But after all, it's a suburb, and it feels like he's still around.
But now, Chen Yuanchao went south to Baiyun City, which is more than 2,000 kilometers away. That is a very, very far away place.
Although it was the hometown of the old Chen family, it was understandable that the mother was worried about her son traveling thousands of miles away, and that Aunt Hu Ping was so sad.
Not to mention, Chen Yuanchao was still her only son, so she was even more worried.
It's just that we must say goodbye after a long journey. This sentence is not very suitable to be used here, but the meaning is that.
The train started slowly and left the Beijing Railway Station.
Before leaving the capital, Chen Yuanchao had been invited to a secret carriage and met Qiu Zongyue.
The latter was extremely serious and introduced several people to Chen Yuanchao.
They all protect Chen Yuanchao, and it can also be said that they are the ones who train Chen Yuanchao.
After Chen Yuanchao arrives on Hong Kong Island, he will not carry out the mission immediately, but will need to lurk for about half a year.
After half a year, it will slowly start to show its prominence.
If you want to set up a white glove business and set up a more business-like structure, you need a lot of arrangements.
After knowing that I was going to Hong Kong Island, and that I was going to Hong Kong Island, I went directly to the Kowloon Walled City to stay for half a year.
During this six-month period, he needs to undergo various skill training and learn professional knowledge.
For a moment, Chen Yuanchao was stunned.
This task is difficult to accomplish.
Moreover, half a year later, it was only the beginning of the task. There was still a lot he needed to learn in the future.
Even if it is a white glove, it must be a very smart white glove, not a silly pseudo-genius.
For a fifteen-year-old boy, this is the best time to cultivate him.
Chen Yuanchao, who was carrying a heavy responsibility, came to Hong Kong Island smoothly under the escort of five "adults".
In the capital, Qiu Zongyue already knew that he had received the news that Chen Yuanchao had successfully arrived at Kowloon Walled City, and stopped paying attention.
The latter must be cultivated and trained well. In a short period of time, it will definitely not be able to play a big role.
What's more, this is just a white glove enterprise, just a casual move. If it can be used, it is naturally the best. Even if it is not used in the end, it doesn't matter.
At the same time, Qi Chunsong from Baiyun City also reported the situation at China Resources.
"Leader, the results of the North American agency rights of pagers have come out, and the highest bidder is Comrade Tang Dake."
When Qiu Zongyue heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise:
"You mean the boy in New York?"
Comrade Tang Dake was born in 1946, and Clinton and George Bush were also born in the same year.
Therefore, Qiu Zongyue said that Comrade Tang Dake was a young man and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him. After all, he was only eighteen years old this year.
An eighteen-year-old boy could actually win the agency rights for pagers in North America?
It’s incredible!
In fact, in the conference room at that time, when Liu Guanzhong announced the results, Comrade Tang Dake went crazy.
Raymond, Fraser and other old acquaintances were all shocked.
There were two reasons why they were so surprised. One was that Comrade Tang Dake, a young man, actually won the agency rights. It was simply unbelievable!
The second reason is that Comrade Tang Dake, a bastard, actually gave a bidding price of 4.59 billion US dollars to win this huge gamble.
How dare he?
How could it be possible to have such financial resources?
But in fact, Comrade Tang Dake did get the agency right.
As for where his money comes from, this is not something that people like Raymond should worry about.
Before World War II, there were already eight major financial groups in North America, namely Morgan, Rockefeller, Kuhn Loeb, Chicago, Mellon, DuPont, Boston and Cleveland.
But after World War II, the eight major consortiums changed.
Among them, the Kuhnlob consortium fell behind and was caught up by Texas, California and First Citibank, forming the top ten consortiums.
And now, the financial group behind Comrade Tang Dake is clearly Kuhnlob.
Kuhnlob must not be reconciled to losing his consortium status, and they are targeting the emerging industry of electronic products.
It's just that the IBM company they invested in is a bit crotchless.
As for Texas Instruments, it was owned by the Texas Consortium, and Kuhnlob really didn't dare to touch it.
There are also two companies, Clay Company and Loft Technology Company, but these two companies are second-rate dealers, and they are not in New York, so they are out of reach, so forget it.
4.59 billion US dollars is a huge sum of money. In addition, Comrade Tang Dake also needs to pay for 100,000 signal transmitters.
The total price of 100,000 signal transmitters is $7.5 billion.
Add one piece more, and that’s US$1.29 billion.
Definitely a huge amount of money.
In the conference room, beside Liu Guanzhong stood eighteen staff members of Bank of China and three staff members of China Resources Corporation.
Opposite, there were several white people sitting next to Comrade Tang Dake. One of them, Abraham Warburg, took the initiative and proposed to use railway technology, gold and US dollar cash, stocks, etc. to pay for this. A huge amount of money.
But Liu Guanzhong rejected some of them one by one, because China Resources did not need railway technology.
The same is true for stocks. For China Resources, they are just waste paper.
What China Resources needs is physical goods, such as crude oil, iron ore, industrial equipment and other materials.
