The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination
Chapter 292, the noisy end of 1964
There are only 300,000 sets of game equipment in London. Thanks to the tacit sales strategies and advertising of the merchants, Super Mario and Chinese Dragon Cube quickly became very popular.
Prices in the second-hand market are also rising.
Different from previous games such as Pac-Man and Ping Pong, whether it is Super Mario or Chinese Dragon Cube, these two games have higher entertainment and addictive properties.
You know, in the history of the original time and space, even in 2024, when information and entertainment were extremely developed, the two games Super Mario and Chinese Dragon Cube still had a place.
This shows how classic and perfect the settings of these two games are.
What's more, in today's era, many people have not been bombarded by the explosion of information, and they do not have many ways of entertainment.
Most of the time, ordinary people spend every day off bored.
If you want to participate in parties, horse riding, archery, swimming and other activities, you will need money.
Even if you go hiking, camping and other leisure and entertainment projects, money is still indispensable.
Therefore, only after the appearance of game consoles will they be wildly sought after by consumers.
Especially those teenagers who like to be otakus and like the novel experiences brought by games, they like games even more.
"Of course, it's not expensive, so why not buy it?"
Jenny said matter-of-factly, but Vanessa’s eyes widened:
"I also want to save money to buy a Huashuo computer. Their computers also have games."
"But the Super Mario and Cube games are really fun. I've seen other people play them. It's really fun."
"Jenny, that's three thousand dollars, you are so willing to give it up."
This gaming equipment package retails for $2,599.
However, in order to make more profits, the greedy Stewalk Company and other agents, of course, are hyping up like crazy.
And the result did not disappoint them, the price was soared to 3,000 US dollars.
Of course, three thousand US dollars is a very high price, and it is naturally impossible for it to continue to rise.
Although the two games Super Mario are very fun, after all, consumers’ wallets must be considered.
Government employees like Vanessa also have to save money to afford game consoles or computers, let alone others.
Ordinary consumers who want to play Super Mario and Chinese Dragon Cube must either borrow someone else's game console or wait for a price reduction.
According to the situation of the Pac-Man game console, it will take at least half a year for the price reduction to be possible.
While Jenny and Vanessa were discussing the game, the counting of votes had ended.
Hadrow Wilson had just eight votes more than Will Wadsworth.
A narrow victory!
In fact, in the history of the original time and space, there were only four more votes.
This shows that the impact of the butterfly effect is still quite large.
You know, the stubborn conservatives in Great Britain are like the stones in the pit, smelly and hard.
Chen Guohua is a butterfly that can flap its wings and influence four votes, which is already very impressive.
Wilson was very happy, and Jenny, Nick, and Vanessa were also very happy, because this meant that they had won.
As long as you win, you may get a promotion and a salary increase.
From now on, you will reach the pinnacle of your life!
October was approaching, and Wilson couldn't wait to give a speech in October announcing that his time had come.
But before that, he still had many things to be busy with, such as the celebration dinner.
In Beijing, October is the National Day, and Chen Guohua has two days off.
The overall trend of the bomber project is not much different. Anyway, it is not beyond Chen Guohua's expectations.
Since it was going according to plan, he wasn't worried.
It is already October, so if it ends at the end of the year, the bomber will be able to prepare for test flights smoothly.
"Dad has a day off tomorrow, where do you want to go?"
At home, Chen Guohua held his two children and asked them for their opinions.
"Dad, I want to go to the zoo to see elephants."
"Dad, I want to climb the Great Wall. I will definitely not lose to my brother this time."
The two children had different goals. Chen Si refused to admit defeat because she lost to her elder brother the last time she climbed the Great Wall.
After she came back, she often went around playing, letting her sister-in-law take her around the yard.
It's been half a year now. She should be able to outrun her big brother, right?
"Okay, Dad is satisfied with you, but have you finished your homework?"
"It's finished, dad, please read it quickly"
Chen Guohua was very pleased to see the two children taking out their homework books from the room as if they were offering treasures.
The handwriting on the homework book is not very neat, but it can be seen that hard work has been put into it.
Chen Wei is four years and three months old, while Chen Si is three years and five months old.
The two children are not young anymore, and Chen Guohua and Yu Moli have already started letting them practice basic homework such as writing, memorizing poems, and arithmetic.
Although Chen Guohua did not have high requirements for the two children, he even gave them enough time to play.
However, when it is time to study, you still need to study hard.
Of course, Lao Chen and Yun Wanshang are actually responsible for teaching children to write most of the time.
After all, the two children spend most of their time with the elderly couple.
Chen Guohua and Yu Moli still need to go to work, that is, only after they get home from get off work can they have time to spend time with their children.
Because of this, since tomorrow is a holiday and the day after tomorrow, Chen Guohua naturally wants to take them out to play.
"Okay, very good. You did a good job on your homework and deserve a reward."
After checking the children's homework, Chen Guohua praised the two children profusely.
Under the happy expressions of the two children, Chen Guohua promised them to take them out to play tomorrow and let them play.
While Chen Guohua was happily preparing to spend this National Day with his children, here in North America, Lyndon Johnson was busy non-stop.
Unlike Hadrow Wilson, Lyndon Johnson would need a longer time to attract more votes.
After all, Great Britain is only a small place, and Eagle Sauce is very big.
"What? Are you talking about dismembering Kuhn Loeb Company?"
When Lyndon Johnson came to New York, he was pulled into a conference room.
There are Lannister Morgan, Von der Lean and others, as well as Brenda Mellon, Humprimus, Augustus and others.
Therefore, when Lyndon Johnson heard the contents of their meeting, he was immediately stunned.
"Yes, Mr. Johnson, you heard that right."
Lannister Morgan was the first to speak, with a hint of disdain and madness in his smiling expression:
"That Abraham Warburg went too far. He was actually willing to pay 4.59 billion U.S. dollars just for an agency right?"
"I don't know if this person's brain was eaten by a pig, but I think such a dangerous person should be eliminated from our team. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
Lannister Morgan was very disdainful of Abraham Warburg.
The Kuhnlob Consortium has completely fallen behind in the past two decades.
Since the influence is no longer what it used to be, don't jump out and disgust people.
In particular, they want to seize the trend of electronic products and return to the top ten or even the top five consortium positions.
That’s what dreaming is!
Although the consortia are interpenetrated, for Lannister Morgan, only his own interests are his own. As for others?
He only has time to care about his own life and death, and he won't worry about how others are doing.
"Yes, Mr. President, I also agree with what Lannister said. This Abraham is simply a black sheep."
At this time, Augustus on the side also echoed.
Behind Augustus is the Stillman family, and the Stillman family is the majority shareholder behind First Citibank.
As everyone knows, the predecessor of First Citibank was the City Bank of New York, founded by the Stillman family in the early 19th century.
After the establishment of the New York City Bank, it was successively related to the Rockefeller Group and the Morgan Group.
In the 1950s after World War II, a wave of large-scale corporate mergers broke out in Eagle Sauce, and Citibank in New York continued to grow and develop amid the competition.
And in 1955, it successfully merged with the second largest bank of the Morgan consortium, the First National Bank of New York, and subsequently changed its name to First Citibank.
As a result, First Citibank's assets expanded sharply, its strength increased, and its status rose rapidly.
The asset size is second only to Bank of America and Chase Manhattan Bank, making it the third largest bank in Eagle Sauce.
Even though Lannister Morgan was very wrong with Augustus, when he heard the latter's words, Lannister Morgan just snorted and did not continue to say anything.
Lyndon Johnson was very confused, but he did not show it on his face, but listened carefully.
This kind of consortium meeting looked like it was no ordinary meeting, so he had to be serious.
Some people can sit in the conference room, but others are already at the table.
For example, the Kuhn Loeb Consortium, this second-tier consortium, has already been targeted by Lannister Morgan, Augustus, Brenda Mellon, Hanpri Mather and others.
The reason is that Abraham Warburg of the Kuhn Loeb Consortium offered a sky-high price of US$4.59 billion in the previous bidding meeting for the China Resources Company's pager agency rights.
Such an incredible bidding price is simply rubbing the face of the Eagle Sauce Consortium on the ground.
Of course, the real reason that makes Lannister Morgan and the others so angry is naturally not the sky-high price, but the interests.
The entire North American pager agency rights were taken over by the Kuhn Loeb Consortium.
So in the next few years, there will be no big problem if the Kuhnlob Consortium returns to the top ten or top five.
"Mr. President, I feel that the Pennsylvania and other railroads are not in line with the development needs of our country."
When Brenda Mellon opens her mouth, she hits the nail on the head.
Because the most important assets under the name of the Kuhn Loeb Consortium are five major railroad companies, including the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
As long as these railway companies are killed, the Kuhnlob Consortium will lose its foundation.
As for the consortium itself, it has also invested in a small number of industrial, mining, commercial and other enterprises, such as Bethlehem Steel Company, Kennecott Copper Company, Westinghouse Electric Company, General Dynamics Company, etc.
These are just investments, not holdings or complete control, so there is no big problem.
After Brenda Mellon and others had finished expressing their opinions, Lyndon Johnson, the old fox, spoke up and said there was no problem.
However, he had to learn more about this and the difficulty of executing it.
The sentence "but" with a twist is actually talking about conditions.
As president, Lyndon Johnson represented a kind of capital in his own right.
Although he may be easily manipulated and compromised by capital, financial groups such as Morgan, Mellon, and Citigroup do not represent everything.
After all, the entire Eagle Sauce also includes California, Texas, Rockefeller, Cleveland, DuPont and other consortiums, as well as small consortiums, small families, etc. that are subordinate or independent of these large consortiums.
It can be said that there are intricate relationships within the entire Eagle Sauce.
Even the top ten financial groups are not monolithic within themselves.
So at this time, if the small group headed by Lannister Morgan and others wants to unite and pull Lyndon Johnson together to attack the Kuhn Loeb Consortium, in addition to being famous, it must also be profitable. .
In particular, Lyndon Johnson was currently canvassing for votes and was in dire need of resources.
After hearing what the other party said, Lannister Morgan and the others looked at each other, and then showed a smile.
The next thing is very simple: bargain!
On the other side, Abraham Warburg also got wind of the news, so he also found his allies.
The Rothschild family has always been very mysterious and low-key, but to the outside world, there is definitely a spokesperson for the family.
For example, the Jacob Schiff now found by Abraham Warburg is the agent of the Rothschild family.
This Jacob Schiff’s wife is Laura Warburg, who is also a member of the Warburg family.
The intertwined interests between consortia show how complicated they are!
In the history of the original time and space, the core asset of the Abraham Warburg family, Kuhn Loeb Corporation, a financial securities company, merged with Lehman Corporation in the 1970s and later became Lehman Brothers.
The real controlling shareholder behind Lehman Brothers is the Rothschild family.
This is the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious family!
Therefore, now Jacob Schiff came forward and soon attracted more than a dozen small conglomerate families to Abraham Warburg, as well as Clemenceau and David Rockefeller of the Du Pont family.
Who is David Rockefeller?
This man is a ruthless man who had six heart transplants in his life. He used medical means to live to the age of 102, when he originally had less than sixty years to live.
David Rockefeller is now the deputy general manager of Chase Manhattan Bank, mainly responsible for the bank's development department.
As early as 1945, David Rockefeller had already entered Chase Bank.
Then during the wave of corporate mergers in the 1950s, Bank of Manhattan, with assets of $1.6 billion, absorbed Chase Bank with assets of $6 billion.
Isn’t it a bit incredible?
Obviously Chase Bank has US$6 billion in assets, while Bank of Manhattan only has US$1.6 billion in assets, so Bank of Manhattan should be absorbed by Chase Bank.
In fact, this is the game between shareholders behind the scenes.
Bank assets do not represent everything. The exchange of interests between consortiums, loans, etc., all need to be taken into account.
Regardless, David Rockefeller was a heavyweight.
Of course, the financial backer behind Chase Manhattan Bank should be the Morgan consortium and has nothing to do with the Rockefeller family.
After all, the Rockefeller family is engaged in oil.
However, in fact, the Rockefeller family's oil empire, a huge trust, has long been dismembered.
Behind the people who took action at that time were people like the Morgan consortium, and even the Rothschild family.
Therefore, between the consortiums within Yingjiang, and within the consortia, interests come first, so there are many conflicts.
With the help of Jacob Schiff, David Rockefeller, Clemenceau Dupont and others, Abraham Warburg is no longer afraid of people like Lannister Morgan.
As the financial groups in North America began to attack each other, and an economic war was about to break out, far away on Hong Kong Island, Liu Guanzhong was yelling.
"Comrade Tang Dake, if you are not sincere, then we will cancel this transaction and put you on the blacklist. We, China Resources, will restart the bidding for agency rights."
Why is Liu Guanzhong so angry?
That's because the industrial equipment transported by Comrade Tang Dake and the others was just a piece of shit.
Not to mention the rust, the key point is that the price is extremely expensive.
Isn’t this just deceiving people?
Good guy, you didn’t even do any superficial work and just delivered the garbage of several freighters?
Ever since helping to sell Zhenhua Research Institute's electronic products, China Resources has always been very upright, and Liu Guanzhong is also more tough than ever.
But this is the first time in the past few years that I have encountered such a situation.
Liu Guanzhong, who was treated so perfunctorily, was of course very angry.
Comrade Tang Dake was also impatient at this time. He was still dreaming of getting rich. He didn't expect that the Warburg family would actually engage in such a small trick, which really made him ashamed.
"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, it's our fault. Please don't be angry. I will deal with it as soon as possible."
For a while, Comrade Tang Dake already had the idea of changing partners.
This Warburg family is simply a fool!
After stabilizing Liu Guanzhong, Comrade Tang Dake personally took the earliest flight back to New York, and then found Abraham Warburg.
"Mr. Warburg, I don't care what your situation is. If you still want to cooperate with me, I hope you will stop making small moves. Otherwise, I will go find Mr. Morgan right now!"
This threat immediately made Abraham laugh angrily: Why would this young man, Tang Dake, dare to say this in front of him?
However, today's Warburg family is also facing internal and external troubles.
So Abraham didn't dare to make any more extravagances. After all, he still needed the electronics business to bring fresh blood to the Warburg family.
Otherwise, even with the support of the Rothschild family, the Warburg family may not be able to support it for long.
At that time, once the Warburg family loses more properties, it will be difficult! There is an old saying in China that says that the wall will fall and the crowd will push it down. This saying has been interpreted countless times on the North American continent.
With Comrade Tang Dake mediating in the middle, the second batch of industrial equipment shipped to Hong Kong Island was finally qualified.
Crude oil and iron ore are nothing to make a fuss about. Anyway, they are just transported ship by ship.
As long as the goods pass the inspection, China Resources will deliver the corresponding signal transmitter.
In the blink of an eye, it’s already November.
North America, New York.
Only at this time did Abraham Warburg have time to convene scientists from many scientific research institutions and ask them about their research and development efforts on the two products, signal transmitters and pagers.
"So, you guys have been researching these two gadgets for half a year, but you don't know anything about them?"
"Haven't IBM started researching it a long time ago? Are they, as a leading company in the electronics industry, so good?"
After these scientific researchers finished speaking, Abraham suddenly said angrily.
Although many scientists were dissatisfied when they heard him belittle everyone's efforts, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Since last summer, supporting products for pagers have appeared. At that time, IBM and other related companies all purchased some samples from Siemens at high prices and took them back to North American laboratories for research.
As a result, more than a year has passed, but there are no results.
In fact, it is not that there is no progress at all.
At the very least, the beepers used in some hospitals are already well known.
And this part of the technology will soon achieve breakthroughs.
However, there are two technical difficulties that are difficult to break through. The first point is that China Resources' pagers have many functions.
For example, the three major functions of regular reminder, calendar and alarm clock are very frustrating.
why?
Because it involves software programming language and hardware-level technology, it is not the ordinary alarm clock technology on the market.
The second point is the cost issue!
Simply because the wholesale price of China Resources' pagers is US$69 and the retail price is US$79.
It’s so cheap!
As we all know, chip prices in North America are now very cheap.
However, this kind of chips refers to those outdated chips, but nowadays, the internal chips of pagers and Huashuo computers produced by China Resources are very different.
To be precise, they are made into microprocessors with different functions.
As for the microprocessor, in the original history of time and space, it was the foundation of Intel.
Therefore, it is difficult to break through technology and reduce costs.
Two questions are stuck here, torturing scientists in North America to death.
But what can be done?
Keep up the good work!
So, starting from pagers, the semiconductor industry and the computer industry have seen a lot of capital come to an end.
Everything is just driven by interests.
Chen Guohua, the Amazon butterfly, has incited history beyond recognition.
Abraham Warburg didn't keep an eye on the scientific research team because he was pressed for time.
He went to Donald Duck Technology Company and found Comrade Tang Dake, asking the latter to hurry up and arrange for people to build signal base stations because he urgently needed money.
Previously, Abraham made great efforts by paying US$1.29 billion to China Resources.
Because of this, and because of the trouble caused by Lannister Morgan and his group of jealous monsters before, Abraham had to share some of the profits.
Nowadays, it is still because of people like Lannister Morgan who are engaged in enterprises such as the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Southern Pacific Railway Company, Abraham has to take the initiative.
At the same time, he also needs to regain his health as soon as possible and first defend the properties of the Warburg family.
"Mr. Warburg, base station construction takes time. I can't build it today and sell pagers tomorrow..."
Comrade Tang Dake seemed very patient and his character became much calmer.
There are gains and losses in cooperating with large financial groups.
But after what happened last time, Comrade Tang Dake knew very well that only when he became stronger would he not need to apologize to others.
Therefore, he already understands a lot compared to before.
If you want to have a straight waist, you must have enough beautiful knives in your pocket.
"Then I don't care about this. Within half a month, I must see the pager business hall open for business." Abraham didn't care about this and directly gave Comrade Tang Dake a death order.
Comrade Tang Dake became angry all of a sudden:
"Okay, Mr. Warburg, if you have the ability, then you can do it yourself, labor and management will quit, and you won't make this money anymore."
An eighteen-year-old boy, no matter how calm he is, can still be easily impulsive if forced repeatedly.
What's more, Comrade Tang Dake is already earning hundreds of millions of dollars a year at a young age, so he is not afraid of Mr. Warburg.
"One month, one month is enough, right?"
Abraham took a deep breath and had to give in.
Hearing the other party's words, Comrade Tang Dake was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly:
"It's a very short period of time. It requires a lot of costs. Even if it's just New York and other surrounding cities, it will still require an additional investment of 10 million US dollars."
"I'm out!" Abraham said through gritted teeth.
Comrade Tang Dake nodded and said he would try his best to complete the task.
After Abraham left, Comrade Tang Dake sneered: The Frank Warburg family, one day, the Tang family of labor and management will definitely be more powerful than your Warburg family!
Not to mention the awesome Comrade Tang Dake, Riko Iyama, who is far away in Tokyo, is currently nesting in the most luxurious flat-floor apartment in the center of Tokyo, playing the most popular Super Mario game.
And what she is equipped with is not the display screen of a game console, but the latest color TV from China Resources purchased separately.
The color TV has a larger screen, with a full 19-inch screen. It is definitely the largest color TV in this era.
After getting a color TV, playing the game Super Mario is so exciting.
As a young and fashionable urban woman, Riko Iyama has gotten rid of the nine-to-five dilemma of urban beauties and achieved financial freedom.
The previous September, she attended China Resources' new product launch conference and received two sets of Super Mario game kits.
A set of game kits has a total of twenty sets of game equipment. Each set includes a box of Chinese Dragon Cube cassette, a box of Super Mario cassette, game console and display screen.
The wholesale price of a set of gaming equipment is US$1,999, and the bidding price given by Iyama Riko is US$2,200 per set.
Therefore, she paid $84,360 at that time.
In addition to these two sets of game kits, she also purchased Pac-Man games, Huashuo computers, electronic cameras and other products. Taken together, she paid a total of US$270,000.
After bringing all these goods back to Tokyo, she immediately sold Huashuo computers and other products.
On the contrary, she was not in a hurry to take action on the two new products of Super Mario.
She even spent more than $100,000 on some equipment on the second-hand market.
This made her regretful. She should have been bolder if she had known that she would be at the new product launch conference.
Unfortunately, she was conservative after all.
Therefore, in the Tokyo second-hand market, the price of Super Mario game equipment has increased very quickly. In just one week, it has exceeded the high price of 3,200 US dollars.
Such a high price gave Iyama Riko hope.
But what makes her different from others is that she is not that greedy.
So when the price rose to 3,200 US dollars, she sold all the Super Mario game equipment in her hands for 3,100 US dollars.
Because of this, she withdrew all her funds in one fell swoop, allowing her to successfully earn a profit of US$70,000.
At the same time, all of her own funds have successfully exceeded the $500,000 mark.
With so much money, Iyama Riko no longer wants to take risks.
So she started spending money, bought a large flat, and moved in directly with her bags.
Then she purchased a lot of game consoles, color TVs, etc., and then she lived the life of a stay-at-home girl.
Compared with the contentment of Jingshan Riko, all the merchants in the second-hand market are greedy people.
Therefore, in the entire second-hand market, there are only a few people who can last forever, maximize profits, and grow bigger and stronger like a snowball with capital.
And Iyama Riko is one of them.
The global market's love for the two games Super Mario and Chinese Dragon Cube exceeds the expectations of many agents.
In September, the two million sets of gaming equipment launched by China Resources at its new product launch were completely sold out in just one month.
This speed also shocked everyone at China Resources.
Two million sets of equipment were all sold out in one month?
Moreover, since the end of October, many agents have been urging goods to be shipped as soon as possible.
At the Majuqiao Industrial Park, the monthly output of Super Mario game equipment is 800,000 units. Now it has to be increased to a monthly output of one million units to cope with the growing demand.
Throughout the end of 1964, the world was almost dominated by two games: Super Mario and Chinese Dragon.
The previously extremely popular arcade game "Ping Pong" and the Pac-Man game suddenly fell out of favor.
Of course, it’s not that these games are no longer popular, but they have fallen into the secondary market.
To put it simply, it is a market with wider penetration and cheaper prices.
Because there are many rich people in this world, but even more poor people.
Therefore, despite the price drop of Pac-Man game console, many people still like it in the secondary market.
If China Resources had not taken the initiative to lower prices, companies such as Cray, IBM, Texas Instruments, Sony, and Steward would have been unable to make profits due to cost issues and would have left the market.
Otherwise, this is bound to be another bloody war.
In the blink of an eye, it has already entered mid-November.
Comrades Felix, Gregory, and Tang Dake, who didn't know how they heard the news, came to China Resources together.
Raymond was so angry that he wanted to curse!
Fake!
Isn't the reason why he often gives Liu Guanzhong gifts just for this moment?
Good guy, now Felix and the others are keeping an eye on him and won't give an inch!
Before, Raymond took away so many color TVs and other products from China Resources Company, but he made a lot of money.
It’s the end of the year now, who doesn’t want to check the revenue figures?
Therefore, the air conditioners and refrigerators that China Resources is about to launch have long been targeted by agents.
Even if you represent these products, you are likely to attract other competitors.
But even Sony came over in person, and Felix and the others were afraid of a hammer.
As we all know, Sony's products are a mixed bag: black and white TVs and color TVs, radios, calculators, etc. There is no brand that they do not make.
Even Sony can swallow its anger. There is no reason why other agents should be afraid of other competitors.
Take the previous incident of Loft Technology acting as an agent for China Resources' color TVs. In the North American market, were the two companies, Westinghouse Electric and North American Radio Company, forced to lower their prices in the end?
Behind Westinghouse is a consortium from New York, including the Rothschild and Kuhn Loeb consortium.
But Raymond's Loft Technology Company is backed by a California consortium.
Since the consortium between the two parties is not a good one, they can only see the real chapter under their hands.
Relying on the cost advantage of Loft Technology, even if a color TV costs US$359, it still makes a net profit of more than US$100.
Given $495 to Westinghouse Electric and North American Bottomless Company, they could only be forced to lower the price to $359.
This time, their profits were reduced by more than a hundred.
Therefore, the two companies of Westinghouse Electric had their thoughts on killing Raymond.
protest?
It's useless. The California consortium is not a decoration. If we really use other stupid methods, the world will be in chaos.
Everyone comes out to get money, not for grudges.
Therefore, the gross profit of each of the 800,000 color TVs purchased by Raymond from China Resources Company can reach US$160, the net profit is US$140, and the total profit is US$112 million. .
These profits are not a secret, and anyone who cares can quickly calculate them.
Therefore, Felix and other agents will certainly not let Raymond monopolize the profits of air conditioners and refrigerators again.
"Mr. Liu, next time your China Resources Company releases a new product, can you please notify us in time?"
Liu Guanzhong looked at Felix and chuckled:
"Air conditioners have been around for almost a hundred years. This is not a new product, but your suggestion is very good. We will post it at the door next time."
There is a lot to say about the origin of air conditioning.
In ancient Chinese history, there have been many methods of artificial refrigeration, but these have little to do with modern air conditioners.
Abroad, in 1851, a doctor in Florida, North America, applied for a patent for the first ice machine, which was the predecessor of air conditioning.
The inventor of air conditioning is William Carrier. He invented the word air conditioning, and then it became a word in the Oxford Dictionary.
Well, English is like this bird-like pattern. After forming a word, it becomes a new word.
By 1922, William Carrier's Carrier Company developed a landmark product in the history of air conditioning, the centrifugal air conditioner.
Since then, air conditioning has developed rapidly.
However, after the Great Depression and World War II in North America in the 1930s, low-cost window air conditioners were born in the latter part of World War II.
Therefore, air conditioning has entered thousands of households.
Air conditioning is also installed in theaters, shopping malls, casinos, indoor sports venues and other entertainment venues.
In later generations, window air conditioners could be seen everywhere on Hong Kong Island. In fact, they could be seen everywhere in North America in the 1950s.
However, not many people here in the mainland have used window air conditioners. This is simply because in the 1980s, Haier successfully launched split air conditioners, which is why most people now use air conditioners.
In the 1930s, Carrier's home air conditioners cost around $2,000.
It was not until after World War II that window air conditioners were introduced, priced at just over five hundred dollars.
But in the 1950s, due to the Peninsular War, North America began to help Tokyo develop heavy industry.
It was at this time that Carrier Company entered Tokyo and the Peninsula, and the result was a very typical example of teaching apprentices to starve to death.
why?
Because the principle of the air conditioner itself is not complicated, and air conditioner brands such as Daikin and Mitsubishi imitate cats and tigers. At the same time, they also show their ability to save energy, so they are better than others.
However, it is now 1964, and companies like Mitsubishi and Daikin are still very poor in technology in all aspects.
Baiyuncheng Air Conditioning Manufacturing Factory has three products this time.
One is a home version of the air conditioner, equipped with cross-flow fan, plastic motor, multi-stage evaporator, hydrophilic aluminum foil, electronic temperature control and other technologies.
This type of air conditioner has many advantages. The first point is that it distributes air evenly because it is a split air conditioner and can form a three-dimensional circulation.
After all, window air conditioners can easily cause gas to cross, and sometimes the wind blown out is not always cool.
The second point is that window air conditioners are installed in windows, so they affect lighting, but split air conditioners do not.
As for the third point, it is about power consumption.
For air conditioners with the same power, the Baiyun brand split air conditioner produced by Baiyun City Air Conditioning Manufacturing Factory consumes less than 0.5 degrees per hour in heating mode, and only 0.2 degrees in cooling mode.
As for window air conditioners, they definitely consume more than double the power.
Last but not least, the window air conditioner is noisy!
Friends who may have come into contact with window air conditioners know that window air conditioners clearly indicate that the noise value of the indoor and outdoor units is between 50 and 60 decibels. For actual use, the noise value must be increased by 15 decibels.
而正常人说话的分贝就是40-60,60-70分贝就是大声说话,90-100分贝就是汽车大卡车行驶时的声音了。
Just the fact that this was the first air conditioner was enough to drive capitalists like Felix crazy.
However, what everyone is more concerned about is the price.
PS: Two updates have been completed today. Do you still have monthly tickets? (End of chapter)
