Reborn Tycoon Rise

In the following period, Xu Zhi has been focusing on Midea Company. As for Drunken Master, it has been released in Nanyang for a while. It is said to be very popular. The RB market has just begun to enter the market, and the results should not be bad.

After ten days of screening, Midea's organization began to improve. On the administrative side, Lin Siqi was in charge of personnel, and an accountant, Fang Ziwei, was hired. Others were a group of engineers responsible for R\u0026D and design.

On the morning of August 21, Midea Company officially opened for business. It was the first day of work and the first day of meetings.

Xu Zhi sat in the front of the conference room and said to everyone: "Today is the first meeting of our Midea Electronics. I am a more casual person, so you don't need to be too formal. This meeting has only one purpose, which is to develop a new product. "

After speaking, Lin Siqi sent all the documents in.

Xu Zhi added: "You can take a look. Our product is this box that is almost a person tall. Then we put the designated products in this box. There is a movable claw on the top and several buttons on the outside. The movement and grabbing of the claws can be controlled, and we can operate this robotic arm to grab the goods below, of course, the probability must be set."

After listening to the following people, no one took the initiative to speak. It was their first day in the new company. Although they wanted to show off, no one took it seriously.

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "If you have any ideas, please put them forward as much as possible."

A middle-aged man in his 30s asked: "What is the name of this thing?"

Xu Zhidao: "I plan to put some dolls in it, so it's called a claw machine."

The middle-aged man's name was Huo Haiqing, a mechanical design engineer, and he said: "Xu Sheng, I have actually seen this product in RB before, but it is not stuffed with dolls, but candies, cigarettes and other products. .”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Yes, this is indeed not our invention. This kind of product already existed more than 50 years ago, but this kind of machine has always been used by casinos for gambling. The popularity rate is not high, but Our company's product is not, this is a toy that can be operated by adults and children."

Then he said to Huo Haiqing: "Since Huo Sheng has seen this product, can you think of a way to buy one for research?"

Huo Haiqing nodded and said, "Okay, I will ask my RB classmates."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Okay, if you can buy it, fly it over immediately. Don't worry about the air freight."

Before the claw machine, similar equipment had actually existed for a long time. In the early 20th century, some businesses in the United States began to use similar toys, but their appearance was completely different from the claw machine, and instead resembled an excavator.

But there is no probability in the excavator. It is always accurate when digging. If the goods are dug out too much, the boss will feel sad, and if the goods are dug out less, the customer will pay a lot of money every time. As a result, merchants began to add some useless things into the products, which also reduced the cost of use for customers, but the effect was always poor.

After the 1950s, similar products appeared in some European and American fast food stores. Some of them used claws, but they were all mechanically controlled probabilities, and the products inside were replaced by candies, merchandise and even books. They have been all the rage for a while, but the merchants have completely played with them. Fire, if the probability is set too low, a large number of customers will be lost.

After a period of time, this kind of game only existed in various casinos, with some game coins or even cash in it. It was extremely low-level, and everyone knew that there were a lot of tricks in it.

Gamblers are crazy and impulsive, but not stupid. They don't often get fooled like fools. Therefore, this kind of machine has completely declined.

In real history, the claw machine appeared in RB in the mid-1980s and became popular all over the country in a short period of time. The doll toys that had been slow to sell before were instantly resurrected due to the emergence of the claw machine.

Huo Haiqing nodded in agreement: "Okay, no problem."

Xu Zhi nodded and said to everyone: "The products bought from outside can only be used as a reference. You still have to design a set yourself. The main thing to consider is the reaction time. There must be no dwell time when operating. This will make people very uncomfortable. accurate.

Also, you have to think carefully about probability control. My requirement is that we can limit the space that can be controlled by probability when we leave the factory. For example, we can set it every 15-30 times. Once we set it, the merchant cannot change it, otherwise If I let them control it at will, I'm afraid these people would like to reduce the probability to zero. "

Wang Xingfa, who is in charge of operations, said: "If we have such a setting, then other companies will not have the same products in the future, which may be very detrimental to our company."

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but I am doing this for long-term considerations. If there is no such restriction, I am afraid that these businessmen will only care about immediate profits and destroy this industry.

My idea is that our product should be able to control the probability when it comes out. It can be adjusted up or down, or as you said, directly set unlimited. This is our retreat. At that time, it will be adjusted according to the market Before making a decision based on the situation, you must first deal with this possibility technically. "

"I have a question." Electrical engineer Lin Xuefei said: "The motor usually vibrates to a certain extent when it starts, which will affect the claws below. If you want to avoid it, you can consider German or RB motors, but the cost will be much higher. .”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's too early to consider this. Make the samples first. As for the motor, it's RB. You should still be willing to spend the money."

"Okay." Several people in the technology department nodded in agreement. It was just an intention now. No one knew what problems would arise if we didn't get into research and development, so naturally they all agreed.

Xu Zhi smiled with satisfaction and said: "I hope you will work hard. In addition, the appearance of our products is mainly aimed at women and children, so the color of the machine should be biased toward pink and floral colors. You should also pay attention to this. If you have anything new The design must also be handed over to Lin Siqi in time, and she will apply for some patents. If you buy an important patent, you will be given generous rewards by the company."

…………

After the meeting, everyone was busy dealing with their own affairs. There were no computers in this era, let alone complex 3D and 2D software in later generations. To design something, the entire drawing had to be drawn on a piece of paper - maybe Paper taller than a person.

This requires extremely powerful three-dimensional abilities, and then you can imagine the three-dimensional view in your mind and then draw it.

"Brother Bang, you can enjoy happiness from now on!"

"Yes, Brother Bang has given birth to a great son. He is not only great at writing novels, but he can also make movies!"

A month ago, Drunken Master was a hit at the box office, but the media's focus was on the film's starring and director. However, Drunken Master continued to break records in Southeast Asia and RB. Especially RB, the box office exceeded 1.5 billion yen, equivalent to 600 Thousands of dollars. Breaking Li Xiaolong's record that year, Chen Long's reputation in RB has greatly increased.

Such a huge box office naturally represents a huge return for investors, and the investors behind Drunken Master have also become the targets of the media.

Before this, some insiders in the Xiangjiang film industry already knew Xu Zhi’s secret. The media knew the situation after just asking:

A poor boy in Kowloon, in a few months, wrote a novel that became famous in Hong Kong, and made a dark horse movie that broke out of Hong Kong and broke into RB. The media estimated that the box office dividend of Drunken Master could exceed 10 million at least, that is It is said that Xu Zhi started from scratch and earned 10 million Hong Kong dollars in a few months.

Ten million, what is the concept? To put it simply: HSBC, which monopolizes Hong Kong, had a profit of HK$600 million in 1976. Cheung Kong Holdings, the leader of the five real estate giants, had a profit of more than HK$50 million last year.

Since Xu Zhi's family moved, the media couldn't find anyone, so they asked everywhere, and everyone in the vegetable market where Xu Hongbang was located knew about it.

If you make money secretly, it's better to be alone. But everyone knew about it, so they could only show it openly and invite everyone they knew to have a table in the hotel, so the above scene happened.

Xu Hongbang was surrounded by a group of people and was constantly complimented, and he almost couldn't stand it anymore. Young people are more arrogant and do not understand the hardships of society. They cannot lose face to please Xu Zhi. Only occasionally a few elders come with their children to say a few words and ask Xu Zhi to take care of them in the future. Don't leave any promises.

From ten o'clock at noon to around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the hotel owner almost wanted to kick people out, and everyone slowly left.
