Chapter 86 Motherboard and Sega
The next day, Lei Yunrong came to Honor Electronics.
Yesterday, Huang Zixing came back from overseas inspection of the main board factory and will come here to report to Lei Yunrong today.
When Huang Zixing came in, Lei Yunrong obviously saw that his eyes were bloodshot and his face was tired. It was obvious that the jet lag had not reversed.
"Zi Xing, you don't have to be so anxious. Look at you, the jet lag has not yet reversed!"
"Lei Sheng, this is probably a matter of time. I am still young and can withstand it."
"You must pay attention to taking care of your health when you are young, otherwise all kinds of diseases will come to you when you get old."
After saying that, Lei Yunrong opened the drawer, took out a pack of things and handed them to Huang Zixing and said:
"For this, this is wolfberry produced in Zhongning, Ningxia, mainland China. You can usually soak it in a thermos cup."
Although Huang Zixing was surprised that Lei Yunrong began to pay attention to health preservation even though he was younger than him, he thought that this was the habit of rich people. In addition, this was the boss's kindness, so he did not ask in detail and said:
"Thank you, Lei Sheng."
When Lei Yunrong saw Huang Zixing take the wolfberry, he also smiled. In fact, Lei Yunrong was very happy to see his hard work.
"Zi Xing, what are the results of this inspection?"
"It's pretty good. I visited Amerika and Yiben this time and found that this industry is now a red ocean, and the scrolling is very powerful."
"It is mainly the rise of Yipin semiconductor manufacturing. With the cheap labor and technical strength, they are now keeping up. They are fighting a price war in the international market, making America semiconductor manufacturing very sad."
"This also leads to the fact that Ameriga's motherboard manufacturing company cannot compete with a single company in terms of cost, so now Ameriga's motherboard factory is not having a good time."
"Then isn't this good news for us?"
Huang Zixing smiled and said, "That's right, not only Amerika, but also Yipeng's motherboard factory profits are also very meager. A little unexpected situation will cause losses, so many companies are considering transformation."
"So based on your investigation, do you think we are acquiring Ameriga's factory or a motherboard factory?"
"One book!"
Huang Zixing blurted out about this question, obviously he had an answer in his heart.
"Oh, tell me."
"First of all, the price is that although Ameriga's motherboard factories are not easy to live, they will not sell cheaply. And although this will not be prohibited from exports, it will not be less time and energy spent on reviewing and approval, which is more troublesome."
"The last important thing is that Ameriga's technology is actually a bit behind first. If we buy Ameriga's production line, it will be behind soon."
"The other is that we do not have enough suitable workers and engineers, so we need to ask technical engineers to install and debug production lines and train workers from Ameriga. The cost in this regard will be very high over time."
"But the one-book is different here. We can directly dig these engineers over and let them work in Hong Kong, but it is unlikely that people from Ameriga will be here."
Seeing Huang Zixing finish speaking, Lei Yunrong smiled and said:
"I heard you say that, should we buy a production line?"
"It's not that it's necessary to have a copy, but their cost-effectiveness is indeed better. I suggest buying a copy of the product."
"Okay, then buy a product. Do you have a purchase goal this time?"
"No, I don't know about this in detail."
"Then you can continue to follow up on this matter, but we are not familiar with the place, so we should find an intermediary. Although we spend more money, we can at least rest assured that these people who live a good life are also cunning in their business operations.
It's very important for us. The motherboard factory is very important to us, so we should still have to be more insured."
"Can we ask Ito Trading Company for help? Our two have been working together for so long and they are quite aware of it, and they have a wide relationship with YiBan."
"Yes, you go directly to Watanabe Castle for negotiation. Now we are their big customers, and they should be more attentive."
"Okay Lei Sheng."
"Although the motherboard factory is anxious, it's not in a hurry. I'll give you two days off and have a good rest. You are my right-hand man. If you are tired, the company may not be able to operate."
"Lei Sheng, this sentence is serious. Then I will take a two-day rest first."
As soon as Huang Zixing left, Wang Fangyu knocked on the door and came in.
Looking at Wang Fangyu's happy look, Lei Yunrong smiled and said:
"What's so happy?"
"Of course I'm happy that a big customer comes to me."
"Which big customer makes you so happy?"
"Sega!"
"Sega?"
"Yes, they came with a vice president and came here to discuss the purchase of Xiangjiang Square Arcade."
Lei Yunrong knew something about Sega, but he didn't know much. He only knew that Sega was the only game manufacturer that could compete with Nintendo on home consoles before Sony and after Atari collapsed.
It seems that Sega started out as an arcade before making a home game console.
"Didn't we have given Taidong Co., Ltd. and Ito Trading Company in the first book market?"
"They want not a market, but Ameriga's market."
"Ameliga? Do they have this strength?"
When Wang Fangyu heard about Lei Yunrong's question, he knew that he might not know much about Sega's company.
"Lee Sheng, Sega Company is strictly an American company. It was established very early. In 1954, American David Rosen established Sega Company in Yipeng. At that time, Sega's main business was to sell to the US military stationed in Japan.
Marbles for American soldiers to entertain."
"But later, with the growth of Sega, David Rosen sold most of his equity to Bay West Industrial in 1969. This is a giant with a market value of over 10 billion US dollars. It is now one of the seven major Hollywood companies in Hollywood.
Paramount is owned by Gulf Western Industrial Corporation, so they have strong channel capabilities in Ameriga.”
"His background is so hard, no wonder."
However, Lei Yunrong is a little strange. Sega has such a deep background, so why can he be suppressed and beaten in the battle between later generations and Nintendo? Some other things should have happened later.
What Lei Yunrong didn't know was that in 1979, Bay West Industrial Co., Ltd. intended to sell Sega's equity. David Rosen, with the support of Sega's general manager, Nakayama Shizuo and several other investors,
Sega completed the mbo, namely the management acquisition.
This move in later generations has made a lot of fun in our country. I won’t talk about the typical ones here. A while ago, I got the attention of the whole Internet, and the godfather came down from the altar.
David Rosen became the president of Sega Co., Ltd. again, and Shinto Nakayama became the president. He has been in love and killing Hiroshi Yamauchi for more than ten years.
"Lei Sheng, in fact, Sega has a certain relationship with Taidong when entering the arcade industry. Before, when Atari was looking for an agent for Pong, Taidong was afraid of losing money, so he brought Sega together. Later, Pong sold it very much.
Sega also made a big profit. They saw that arcade profits were so high, and they also entered the arcade industry in a big way."
"And they have much ambitions and have carried out independent research and development early, but the arcades they developed are not very popular and their influence is not obvious, so they are still mainly agents."
"That's how it is."
No wonder the representative work of an arcade game in later generations was Taidong's "Space Invaders", but compared to Taidong, the last one was Sega.
“So how many arcade machines do they want to order?”
"Ten thousand units!"
"Ten thousand units? Such a great determination? This is 20 million US dollars, more than the orders placed by Taidong."
"Lei Sheng, you may not know yet. Taidong Co., Ltd. added an order of 5,000 units not long ago."
"Oh, it seems that Hong Kong Cubes are selling well in one book."
"That's right, now the Xiangjiang Cubes are gradually becoming popular. It can be said that our Xiangjiang Cubes have increased significantly in their popularity, haha~"
"And because Taitung Co., Ltd. is now fully selling one and has no time to care about Amerika, so this also gives Sega an opportunity."
"Then Sega's reaction was still a bit slow. The other person is selling a lot of money. They are here now."
"So should we follow this order?"
"Of course, Isn't it a fool if you have money but don't make money? Besides, Amerika is so big, and our arcades can be sold more with one more dealer."
Wang Fangyu also felt that he had asked a little too much, and said with a smile:
"I understand Lei Sheng."
"How is our production capacity now?"
"After the last meeting, we had already stopped producing claw machines and turned to full production of arcade machines. Now the workers are gradually becoming more skilled. With full production, we can produce 800 to 900 arcade machines a day.
”
“How are the previous orders completed now?”
"The first batch of 15,000 orders from Southeast Asia and Wanwan have been delivered. Most of the 11,000 ordered by Taidong and Ito Trading Company have been delivered, and all of them will be completed in about five days."
"But now not only has 5,000 units added to Taidong, but also 10,000 units added to Southeast Asia."
Hearing that Xiangjiang Cubes were selling so well, Lei Yunrong couldn't help but smile and said:
"Then is there any pressure to take over Sega's orders for one thousand units?"
"Of course not, only the delivery time can be coordinated and you can eat it."
"Okay, I guess the market in Southeast Asia should be almost saturated. The main market in the future will be Yiben and Amerika. Europe will not have such a hot game atmosphere as these two places. By the way,
By the way, did Hutchison Whampoa not come here to purchase arcades this time?”
"Not yet. They seem to be losing weight now and should be busy with their own affairs."
"That's all right. Anyway, we don't have to worry about selling arcades now. At that time, people will always come to sell arcades to Europe, and it's not a must."
"Okay Lei Sheng, then I'll talk to the people from Sega Company now. I think they should be waiting urgently now."
"Go, but don't talk too much. Just give them the price we give to other dealers. Maybe we will rely on them in the future."
"I understand Lei Sheng."
Chapter completed!
