Chapter 460 The Best Advertisement
"But our current technology shouldn't be able to reach Japan's level, right?"
The person who raised this question was the production director of the North China Electronic Machinery Factory who was retained by the government. He had been promoted step by step from the technical department.
As he finished speaking, several former officials responded: "Yes, Japan is a developed country."
"Their technology is at least several generations ahead of ours."
"Boss, although we also hope to catch up with developed countries as soon as possible, we still have to be realistic."
"That's right."
Wang Deming kept smiling and didn't say anything, just watching their reactions until they all quieted down.
Wang Deming asked gently, "You've all agreed, right?"
“If you have no determination before you even start, what’s the difference between that and admitting defeat before the battle even begins?” Wang Deming’s voice was soft but deafening.
Seeing that they were still unconvinced, he continued slowly, "Who told you that our domestic electronics industry is worse than Japan's?"
"If it's really bad, where are the home appliances and semiconductors exported by Global Electronics sold to?"
"If the foundation is really poor, don't you know how much money Universal Electronics has invested in R&D in China?"
"If you don't want to do it, that's fine. I'll talk to the leaders of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building and the Beijing government."
After saying that, Wang Deming ignored these people and left directly. The person in charge of Global Electronics immediately followed him and left quickly.
The remaining people in the conference room immediately complained: "What is this for? Using the leader to pressure us?"
"I was against the joint venture with Hong Kong people in the beginning. Look, after they came, they started to do something like "two participations, one reform, and three combinations". Do they know what management is?"
"Our North China Electronic Machinery Factory is the leading electronics factory in the country. It has several branches and is also involved in the military industry. How can we cooperate with people from Hong Kong?"
"What if some technology is leaked?"
The factory manager who spoke first did not say anything. He frowned, looked down at the gadget in his hand, and waved to the secretary who was taking shorthand, "Screwdriver."
Soon, the secretary brought over a set of screwdrivers, and the factory manager in charge of production quickly unscrewed the large and small screws of the game console with swift hands and feet, and removed the outer shell with a "click".
Then he continued to frown and looked at the integrated circuit board on the game console.
The more I looked, the more I frowned.
"How is it? Old Zhao, did you figure out anything?"
The factory manager, Lao Zhao, pointed to one of the spots and said, "This should be the location of the chip. Now I wonder what kind of chip and storage they are using?"
"We can make integrated circuit board technology, but at best the yield rate may be a little lower at the beginning."
"The main reason is that this circuit board is even smaller than what we have on semiconductors, and it also integrates a 16-bit chip."
Old Zhao looked up at the other factory managers, some from the main factory and some from the branch factories. He sighed and then said, "Comrades, what the boss from Hong Kong said is not wrong."
"He always said that doing business was no different from going to war."
"If we want to make money abroad, how can we make money if we don't defeat factories in other countries?"
"Not to mention, although it is a joint venture, our salary and benefits are better than before." At this point, he paused, "At least it's better on the surface!"
Seeing someone about to speak out in rebuttal, he immediately said, "As for how much bribes you received for writing notes for others in private, we won't talk about it today."
"Old Zhao, what you said is true. Why wouldn't these cops do the same thing?" Someone said awkwardly, "Besides, they are people we can't afford to offend. What can we do?"
"Didn't the people in Hong Kong also turn a blind eye?"
Old Zhao sighed again, "Alas!" "I won't say anything else. I think Comrade Wang Deming's attitude is a little wrong today. He can face the big leaders directly."
"If we say anything in front of the leader, it won't be good for us."
"Hurry up and gather your technical workers to disassemble this game console and study it carefully."
"We will make the imitation product as soon as possible, and then see if there are any other technical problems that need to be solved and report them."
On the other side, after Wang Deming returned to the office of the person in charge of Xiangjiang, the person in charge of Xiangjiang in Beijing asked tentatively: "Boss, do you want to replace all the people who are currently in the factory in Beijing?"
Wang Deming shook his head. "Today is a warning to them."
"I came here today and found that there were many people reselling the product certificates of our factory at the factory gate."
"If it was less, we would have turned a blind eye, but now everyone knows about it. Is this still a normal factory?"
"I also know that this is inevitable when doing business in China, but it can't be excessive."
"If it's too much, I'd rather close the factory here in China!"
Wang Deming felt a little tired when he said this, and waved his hand at the person in charge of Xiangjiang, "Tell them privately. If I find out that you are going too far again, I will report it to the senior leaders."
"Yes!"
The person in charge of Xiangjiang quickly put down the game console in his hand and said, "Boss, I will have a meeting with them and divide the work of developing this game console."
"Then we will look for universities and microelectronics research institutes in Beijing to conduct scientific research and develop our product plan as soon as possible."
"not busy!"
Hearing what Wang Deming said, the person in charge of Xiangjiang was suddenly stunned, somewhat confused about Wang Deming's attitude.
Just now in the meeting, we said that we should produce the finished product as soon as possible, but now there is no rush.
Wang Deming smiled and said, "We have actually been producing this kind of product for a long time."
“It’s just that some of it is made in the United States.”
"Next time I will bring over the game consoles we produce in the United States. Domestic electronics factories are still mainly engaged in product assembly and electronic component replacement."
"Universal Games?"
Wang Deming nodded.
After Universal Games and Universal Electronics were separated and listed, many pieces of information were not shared, especially since the Hong Kong executive was still in Beijing.
Due to the influence of Wall Street, the American gaming industry has been gradually shrinking since 83. Atari's stock price collapsed, and its market value dropped from 30 billion US dollars, and it was almost delisted.
The market value of Universal Games was also affected and dropped to less than 1 million US dollars.
It’s just that Wang Deming sold his shares at the peak, holding only 5%. He bought them back in the past two years and made 10 billion US dollars with tears.
Then Universal Games was arranged to start researching game consoles and personal computers.
Among personal computers in the United States right now, the most popular one is definitely Apple.
But in fact, there are at least hundreds of personal computer brands on the market now, but the reason why Apple became popular is more because of Apple’s founder Steve Jobs.
A person who has never attended a proper college can become a billionaire by going public. What a good advertisement!
In particular, the second generation of Apple computers was characterized by good quality and low price, so its shipment volume ranked first.
There are also Wang An computers, whose computers are specifically for office use.
However, Universal Games took a different approach and opened up computer games, so in this era, Universal Games is the originator of home game consoles.
