Reborn since 1993

Chapter 69 Charter Flight

Chiyoda District in Tokyo, Japan, centered on Chuo Road on the west side of Akihabara Station, with a street 400 meters wide from east to west and 800 meters long from north to south, is called Akihabara.

Today's Akihabara has not yet become a paradise for future generations of anime and games. Now it mainly sells electrical appliances and electronic products. It is Japan's first electrical appliance shopping street. There are dense billboards on both sides of the street. The entire Japan's 10% annual All electrical appliance transactions are concluded here!

But since Japan was taken care of by its sovereign state three years ago, everything from the stock market to the property market has collapsed one after another. Coupled with the suppression of semiconductors, even the electrical appliance industry that Japan is proud of has now suffered heavy losses.

Akihabara, which represents Nippon Electric, has also seen some changes. Comic shops, game stores, arcades, figure and toy stores, etc. have begun to appear here.

Bandai also has a store in Akihabara. In addition to selling Bandai's famous toys and figures, there are also several rows of gashapon machines. This is another great tool for Bandai to attract money. No matter how powerful it is in attracting money, it can't stop burning money. You’ll pay a lot for game consoles!

In the past, Bandai could attract many young people or tourists, but today there is a long queue, from the Bandai store to the street, and the number of people is still increasing!

If the electronic pet machine has to be tested in Hong Kong City, and it is only Xiaohe who has shown its sharp edges, then in Japan, there is a trend of being completely detonated.

Ning's Trading has reached a cooperation with Bandai, and through Bandai sales channels, it has tried to launch 150,000 electronic pet machines. This product is available in major toy and electronic retail stores in Tokyo, Nagoya, Yokohama, Osaka and other places. , Bandai actually didn’t pay much attention to it.

If it weren't for the fact that Bandai is in a recession right now, suffering huge losses, with the game console failing miserably and toys and figures unable to be sold, Bandai might not even be interested in this product this time. These 150,000 electronic pet machines , with a total value of more than two million US dollars, for Bandai, it is really just a test of the waters.

At least Chizawa Miao never thought that he would call Ning Wenke. Those agents and sellers in the past were all begging for Bandai supplies!

But the electronic pet machine really exceeded the expectations of Nae Ikezawa and Bandai's marketing department. The spread of the electronic pet machine was so fast!

On the first day when the electronic pet machine was launched, it was still tepid, but on the second day, in many middle schools and even universities in Japan, the electronic pet machine began to spread among girls.

Faced with the sales of electronic pet machines, shopping malls and retail stores that sell them also began to try to hang up posters to promote them. The sales of electronic pet machines began to grow suddenly.

In less than a week, the electronic pet machine has become the most popular electronic item in many schools in Tokyo, or it can also be said to be a social "credential".

People who own electronic pet machines get together to play after class. Invisibly, people who play with electronic pet machines will also form a new social circle based on electronic pet machines.

Electronic pet machines spread rapidly to the surrounding areas in Japan, led by Tokyo and centered on schools, and many housewives and office workers also began to buy them.

Ikezawa Nae was also shocked when she received a series of calls from retail stores to urge her to sell out, and learned that all 150,000 electronic pet machines had been sold out.

"We need 400,000 units here. Some retail stores have already run out of stock. They will be shipped directly to Tokyo by air, and Bandai will bear the cost!"

After calling Ning Wenke, Ikezawa Miao couldn't help but show a look of expectation on her face. Nowadays, Bandai's products are not easy to sell. Even in Japan, sales have dropped horribly. As the director of the marketing department, Ikezawa Miao It’s also stressful.

If electronic pet machines really become popular in Japan, then Nae Ikezawa can be considered as having made great contributions to Bandai. If he can even rely on the sales of electronic pet machines to help Bandai overcome difficulties, then Nae Ikezawa's status in Bandai will be I'm afraid it will grow a lot.

Ikezawa Nae wanted to report this matter to Yamako Makoto, but after thinking about it, the electronic pet machine is just testing the water for the first batch. If the subsequent sales are not good, then if he goes this time, wouldn't it be flattering? On the horse's lap, thinking of this, he decided to wait a little longer to see how the sales of the second batch of machines in Japan were, and then report to Shan Kecheng. Anyway, the credit was his, and he couldn't escape.

"Forty thousand electronic pet machines have been sold in Hong Kong City!"

"All the 60,000 yuan invested in Bangzi have been sold out, and they are out of stock over there!"

“Ten thousand units sold in Singapore!”

“In major cities in Siam, Cochin, Malaysia and other places, the total sales of electronic pet machines have exceeded 50,000 units!”

Zhang Ao, the sales manager at the Dongling High-tech Headquarters in Hanxi, seemed calm and composed as he listened to the news constantly reported by his subordinates. However, every time he heard about the sales volume of a region, he couldn't help clenching his fists.

Satellite pots had a period of great sales before, but the profit was in RMB, which is completely different from the electronic pet machines that are now earning foreign exchange.

According to the sales statistics, except for Japanese benzene sales in the first week, in other places such as Hong Kong City, Bangzi, Singapore, and Siam, electronic pet machines sold 160,000 units, with sales exceeding 240,000 units. One hundred thousand US dollars, converted into RMB, reaches 19 million!

You know, this is just the beginning of testing the waters. Large-scale advertising has not yet begun. Zhang Ao suppressed his excitement and asked the director of the marketing department, "Ning's Trading Company has not yet calculated the sales volume of Japanese benzene." ?!" "All the 150,000 machines in Japan have been sold out, and they want us to airlift 400,000 machines over there immediately!"

The staff member responsible for contacting Ning's Trading Company ran toward Zhang Ao with excitement on his face, holding a sales statistics sheet in his hand.

"The benzene machines in Japan are sold short?!"

"All 150,000 examples sold out?"

When Zhang Ao heard the news, his mind went "buzzing". The sales volume of electronic pet machines in Japan and Ben was almost the same as the rest of Southeast Asia. This purchasing power was really scary, and Zhang Ao was stunned. Time couldn't help but froze there.

After picking up the sales statistics and taking a look at it, Zhang Ao hurried to Li Dongling's office.

"Three hundred and one thousand units!"

"The sales statistics of the electronic pet machine test water are out, and a total of 310,000 units were sold!"

As soon as he opened the office door, Zhang Ao finally couldn't help it and shouted to the people inside. Yao Luoying and Hu Huxian, who were in Li Dongling's office, had similar expressions to Zhang Ao's just now when they heard this kid. First they felt in disbelief, and then Couldn't help but look happy.

If the Silver Sable Mouse became famous, it was because of its lawsuit with Microsoft, but it did not become a hit and did not directly bring huge profits to Donglin Hi-Tech.

But the electronic pet machine is different. This is almost the best-selling product since the establishment of Donglin High-tech, and it can bring huge cash flow to Donglin High-tech!

Compared to Yao Luoying and Hu Xian, Li Dongling finally breathed a sigh of relief. The electronic pet machine project was a project that Li Dongling came up with to solve his urgent need.

Donglin Hi-tech needs to make up for the gap period before the launch of digital cordless phones and needs to support itself. Thousands of employees recruited from Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 need to raise R&D funds for the development of a new generation of mice, mini radios, car radios and USB flash drives. , if the electronic pet machine can sell well, these problems will be solved!

In Dongling Hi-Tech Electronics Industrial Park, Tao Zhiliang, who is in charge of a production line, has only one feeling now: he is tired. Even if you give him a bed or throw a mat on the floor, he can sleep there.

During the previous training period, Tao Zhiliang was still worried that there would be no work to do in the electronics industrial park, and he would eventually fire them. But now he no longer has this worry. He will never finish the work, never finish it at all!

Now Tao Zhiliang and the others are working together. He should have changed his shift and gone back to rest, but because of the installation of new production line debugging equipment, he was left to help.

However, Tao Zhiliang's work was not for free. He was paid for overtime work. This was the first time Tao Zhiliang heard about this thing. He had never heard of it when he was in a state-owned factory. He calculated an account and found that if he worked overtime every day, then After a month, the overtime pay was much higher than his salary.

"Everyone has worked hard today. After get off work, each person can receive a pound of meat, and can take back cans, orange powder, malted milk, and brown sugar!

I just received a notice from the headquarters that this month, all employees in the production department will receive double wages, plus a month-end bonus..."

When Tao Zhiliang was busy, he saw Gao Peng coming in with a loudspeaker, and behind him there were people pushing a trolley. On the trolley were weighed and wrapped pieces of meat, and the rest were canned food, orange powder, brown sugar and other items for relatives celebrating the New Year. Things that would only be given out if you walked around, today one was given directly to each person.

Hearing this, there was a burst of cheers in the workshop. This kind of treatment and benefits, not to mention Pingyang, is the only one even in the provincial capital. The bag of meat alone also comes with canned food, malted milk, etc. , which adds up to more than ten yuan!

Over at the electronics industrial park warehouse, it was also very busy, and large trucks were already waiting there to load goods.

Accompanying the driver were ten burly men from the Tanglin Hi-Tech Security Department. There were two security personnel traveling with the driver in the large truck, and two small cars, one in front and one behind, escorting the truck all the way to the provincial capital airport. Tanglin Hi-tech even invited the Pingyang Municipal Government to coordinate the police cars to clear the way. After arriving in the provincial capital, the provincial capital will also take over!

We really have to be on guard. There are real robbers on the road now. It’s hard to get through without too many people. In many places, banners saying “It’s illegal to rob police cars” are hung beside national highways. You know how difficult the roads are now. .

And this truck contains a total of 600,000 electronic pet machines, worth more than nine million US dollars. You can never be too careful!

The staff at the provincial capital airport were a little surprised when they saw such a huge battle and the electronic pet machine being escorted over. Even though they have been working at this airport for many years, chartering flights and air cargo is the first thing they do. See you once!
