"Brother Kang, let's talk about the sales data of ABC Computer first, so that everyone can cheer up!" Li Xuan said to Ye Chengkang with a smile.

"Okay, Li Sheng! Colleagues, the computer field's sales data has just been sent from the United States. In the past week, they sold 477 ABC-1 computers and 329 ABC-2 computers! The data from other sales channels have not yet been received. Yes, but our campus networking system has received contracts from 86 schools in the past few weeks, including orders for 2,285 ABC-1 computers and 115 ABC-2 computers!" Ye Chengkang said with satisfaction .

"The data of ABC-1 sales of 5,000 units in your previous report is still a little conservative. I personally estimate that after the final sales data for August comes out, even if the sales of campus networking systems are not included, the total sales of ABC-1 computers will be There can be seven or eight thousand units!" He Guoyuan said with a smile.

Ye Chengkang's smile was a little embarrassing. The ability of several of his analysts was indeed somewhat mediocre. The company was continuing to recruit people recently. The last GameBoy sales estimates were also significantly off the mark. Up to now, the average daily shipment of GameBoy handhelds is as high as 72,500 units, which puts Kangjie Electronics, which is responsible for the foundry, at full capacity.

"The sales volume of ABC-2 is also good. In this way, the computer field alone can sell more than 1,000 units per month. In addition to the sales of other channels, it can sell at least 2,000 units per month. The business computer market is still promising!" Wang Ying also said with a smile.

"Okay, ABC Computer's next-step sales plan, we will discuss it in detail after the detailed data comes out! The theme of this meeting, I have also agreed with you before, is to reintegrate the various businesses under the company!" Li Xuan waved his hand and said.

"According to Li Sheng's plan, the game, software and computer businesses of Dongfang Electronics will be split independently, and two new companies, Dongfang Games and Dongfang Software, will be established, and most of the computer business will be merged into Aikang Computer Company.

The two laboratories cooperating with the University of Hong Kong and CUHK, as well as the four R&D centers in Hong Kong, Taipei, Cambridge and Silicon Valley are all included in the Oriental Technology Company! Executive Vice President Wang Ying gave a brief overview of the split and integration plan, while distributing the detailed plan to everyone present.

"Then, will the headquarters of Dongfang Electronics still exist in the future, and will it gradually transform into a shell company?" Executive Director Lu Siming asked with a frown.

"Not for the time being! This time the company's system adjustment is more about financial splits, just to make the original three main business divisions of the company, games, software, and computers, into independent legal entities. However, the company's governance framework is short-term. I won't make too many adjustments!" Wang Ying explained.

"Ikon Computer's changes will be bigger. In the future, its headquarters will be located in London or Cambridge!" Li Xuan said with a smile, "The company will soon launch Ikon Computer's listing plan!"

Except for Wang Ying, Du Wenqiang, and He Guoyuan, the three vice presidents who knew it well, everyone else was stunned and surprised. From the establishment of Dongfang Electronics to the present, it has been less than a year after the full reckoning, and its subsidiaries are ready to start listing. How can it not be surprising.

More importantly, the cash flow of Dongfang Electronics is very abundant, and there is no capital problem at all, and there is absolutely no need to go public now. In particular, with the listing of ABC Computer, Aikang will have a very rapid development momentum. After this round of expansion period is over, the company's strength and confidence are more sufficient, and it is seeking to sell at a good price.

Li Xuan took everyone's expressions into his eyes. I learned from the BBC a few days ago that the British government is discussing support for schools to carry out basic computer education, and encourages schools to build computer classrooms in the form of special financial subsidies.

There are at least tens of thousands of primary and secondary schools in the UK, and even if only some schools will build computer classrooms, it is a market of hundreds of millions of pounds. Obviously, the British government will naturally not use huge financial subsidies to nourish the appetite of foreign computer companies, and will definitely give priority to supporting the domestic computer industry, which directly shuts out American computer manufacturers such as Apple and Kemodo. .

Compared with these major competitors, Aikang Computer Company, a subsidiary of Dongfang Electronics, still has room for operation. Because before it was acquired by Dongfang Electronics, it was originally a cutting-edge British computer company. Even if it was acquired by Dongfang Electronics, Hong Kong-based Dongfang Electronics is, in a broad sense, a British company.

But in order to make Aikang's identity more impeccable, Li Xuan thought of a better way to make Aikang Computer directly listed on the London Stock Exchange. According to the listing conditions of the London Stock Exchange, the company applying for listing must be established for three years, and Aikang Computer Company only has two years when it is fully calculated.

However, the newly launched ABC-1 and ABC-2 computers have a very strong sales momentum in the United States and the United Kingdom. I believe that it is not difficult for the monthly sales to exceed 10,000 units. In addition, Atom, another low-cost computer of Aikang, entered the US market earlier than ABC Computer, relying on the sales channels of Computer Garden Company. Although the sales speed of Atom computers is not as high as the nearly 300,000 units of VIC-20 computers of Kemodo Company per month~www.readwn.com~, the monthly sales volume can also be maintained at more than 20,000 units.

With the support of these three fist products, Aikang's future annual turnover is estimated to be at least more than 200 million US dollars. Such a high-tech company with broad growth prospects is enough to apply for special terms, breaking the London Stock Exchange's three-year-old requirement for listed companies.

And as long as Ikon is listed in the UK, Orient Electronics will have enough reasons to convince education officials in Downing Street that Ikon is a truly British company. Since there is such an excellent computer company in the UK, it cannot be excluded from the list of special education subsidies.

Of course, in Li Xuan's plan, Aikang Computer will only be a brand that is finally assembled and sold. The most important technology research and development, as well as a series of key patents, will be firmly controlled by Dongfang Electronics, and will not be included in the listed assets of Aikang.

Aikang will obtain relevant technical support from Dongfang Electronics in the form of authorization. The computer products manufactured by Aikang will be sold to the world through the marketing channels of Dongfang Electronics, especially the Computer Garden Company. Even the intermediate computer production links will be handled by Dongfang Electronics' production OEM system centered on Hong Kong.

Therefore, Aikang Computer Company is actually just a puppet company with very good financial data. The key upstream and downstream lifelines will be in the hands of the controlling shareholder, Dongfang Electronics Company. The biggest purpose of Aikang's listing, in addition to completely putting on the coat of a British company, is to enter the financial market for a fortune.
