On September 10, 1978, the Berlin Consumer Electronics Show ended yesterday. Black Cloud is once again the biggest winner. It is the most dazzling enterprise in this exhibition, and it is not one of them.
Black Cloud Group sold 15 million gameboy handheld game consoles at this exhibition, with an amount of 375 million US dollars; 45,000 Mirage 1000 laptops, with an amount of 310 million US dollars. A total of 1.5 million razors have been sold, and the sales amount has also reached 100 million US dollars. With only 200,000 Walkmans, the competition is indeed too fierce; and it's mainly new styles, and the amount is less than 20 million US dollars. The game arcade sold about 20,000 units. After all, many markets have been conquered, with an amount of 55 million US dollars.
Heiyun's sales at this Berlin Consumer Electronics Show reached 850 million US dollars. This is something that Bao Zixuan never dared to think about before. He did not expect that notebook computers would sell so well.
It seems that the forecast for this era is still completely insufficient. In fact, this is the fastest growing time in the world, and emerging technologies and industries are emerging one after another. Take RB as an example, their annual economic growth in the 30 years from 1955 to 1985 exceeded 10%. People's purchasing power is still very scary in this day and age.
Heiyun Group employees can spend a week in Europe, which is their annual leave. And the consumption is paid by the company during the period. The happiest here is Yokoi Mean. The gameboy sold out so much that he earned more than $5 million in commissions. He also wants to relax, after all, he has hardly had a rest this year.
Regarding the income of employees in the company, Heiyun Company issued it very timely. Now Miyamoto Hat's monthly income exceeds 200,000 US dollars. Miyamoto Hat, who has no investment direction, also specifically asked Bao Zixuan to invest in which direction. In his heart, following the little boss is sure to make money.
Bao Zixuan's suggestion to him was to buy all the shares of Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa. After Miyamoto Hat received his salary every month, he left all the necessary living expenses to buy the stocks of these two companies.
Yokoi also bought some after knowing about it, but it was not as radical as the Miyamoto hat. After all, he is old, and he has family concerns, unlike Miyamoto Hat alone, the whole family is not hungry, and there is no concern.
Bao Zixuan was not so lucky, he was about to enter East Germany. Go to Carl Zeiss, one of the world's most famous optical instrument companies. If possible, he will introduce some talents and technologies.
Carl Zeiss is a German company that manufactures optical systems, industrial measuring instruments and medical equipment, and is a world-class manufacturer of camera lenses.
The history of Carl Zeiss lenses began in 1890 with the invention of an astigmatism compensation lens called the Anastigmat. After that, Carl Zeiss, as a traditional lens company for more than 100 years, became famous overseas in the field of optical equipment such as medical series, bi-spectacles, camera lenses, magnifying lenses, glasses, and planetariums. Among them, the camera lens has the advantages of sharp resolution, detailed description, uniform aperture, and hardening treatment of T* multilayer film emission.
Due to the relationship between the Cold War, the company was split into two companies, Carl Zeiss AG and Carl Zeiss Jena People's Enterprise, until the reunification in 1990.
Now Carl Zeiss in West Germany is an optical giant, and people will ignore you if you go to them. Bao Zixuan has been doing business with the Warsaw countries for some time, and it is the best choice to go to East Germany at this time.
He plans to introduce East German Carl Zeiss technology to develop digital cameras, cameras and lithography machine lenses. This is also the reason why they dare to spend such a large price to win the Sony lithography machine.
The core component of the lithography machine is the optical lens. The lens sold by Aspen, the world's largest lithography machine giant, is provided by Carl Zeiss in Germany. Bao Zixuan believes that as long as he brings all the talents and technologies of Carl Zeiss from East Germany to Heiyun, then he will The development of a lithography machine will be smooth sailing.
Black Cloud Group saw the East German Carl Zeiss booth at the exhibition, and they also came to participate in the exhibition. The technology and strength are not much worse than the West German Carl Zeiss. What they lack is a platform.
Hashimoto Hiroshi contacted the other party and hoped to cooperate, which made East German Carl Zeiss overjoyed. After all, due to institutional reasons, many Western companies will not choose to deal with them. Now the most popular companies in this exhibition want to come to the factory to visit and inspect, so what is the warm welcome!
Bao Zixuan was the one who went to East Germany with four bodyguards under such circumstances. He didn't want the RB employees to know about many things; he was not completely assured of them.
Compared with factories in West Germany, Carl Zeiss in East Germany is far worse now. After all, the benefits of the two companies are far from each other. But this is precisely an opportunity for Heiyun Group.
The East German side attaches great importance to Bao Zixuan's personal inspection. Their economy is not very good. If Carl Zeiss can cooperate with the Black Cloud Group, it will also be a great promotion for other East German enterprises to go out.
After visiting the Carl Zeiss factory, Bao Zixuan already had a general understanding. At this time, it is necessary to negotiate well with Carl Zeiss.
Carl Zeiss's current factory manager is named Bach-Kara, an old engineer who has worked in Carl Zeiss for more than 30 years and is an old German craftsman.
Bach-Kara said: "Welcome Mr. Bao to Carl Zeiss, what can we do for you."
When Heiyun Group did business with the Warsaw Pact countries, it did not push down prices as hard as other European and American countries, which made Heiyun have a good reputation in these countries. And Bach-Kara knew that Bao Zixuan had recruited many old Rheinmetall technicians, even though it was now two countries. But after all, they are members of a nation, and there is still a feeling that blood dissolves in water. Therefore, he still respects this young man very much. This is a young man with a smart brain and a caring heart, and he respects skilled workers very much.
Bao Zixuan, who knows Bach-Kara's identity, is now much more at ease. It is better to negotiate with two technicians than to negotiate with one technician and one politician.
Bao Zixuan: "I'm here this time because I hope to cooperate with Carl Zeiss in the field of optical lenses~www.mtlnovel.com~ Heiyun hopes to introduce some patents and technical guidance. Carl Zeiss workers who go to Xiangjiang for guidance will get the same cooperation with Heiyun engineers. The same treatment, please rest assured in this regard."
Hearing this, Bach-Kara was very happy. This has found a new way of life for the workers. Can increase their income and also be able to work and live freely.
Bach-Kara: "There is no problem with technology licensing. I wonder how many skilled workers Black Cloud can accommodate. You see, their lives are not very good."
Bao Zixuan: "How many workers depend on Carl Zeiss, even if the entire Carl Zeiss is moved to Hong Kong, I have no problem. I'm afraid the East German government will not."
Bach-Kara was relieved to hear Bao Zixuan say this. After all, it was acceptable for the East German government to work in Xiangjiang.
Bach-Kara: "Carl Zeiss now has 2,400 workers. If you add the retired workers, it will exceed 2,800. I don't know if the retired workers can continue to find jobs in the black cloud."
In fact, before the merger of Carl Zeiss, the East German side had always been larger, but it only continued to operate.
Bao Zixuan: "If they want to go to Hong Kong, there is no problem, but only if they can do their jobs well. After all, I am an entrepreneur, and their salary will not be less than anyone else's. You and I are both technicians. I have great respect for the old craftsmen, and now there are more than 100 old craftsmen from your Germany working in the Xiangjiang factory. You don't have to worry about this.
Bach-Kara: "I will discuss with the staff of the Foreign Trade Commission before I can give you an answer. But please rest assured that it will be very soon. We will be waiting for you at Carl Zeiss tomorrow."
Bao Zixuan knew the system of East Germany, so he left Carl Zeiss and went to the hotel to rest.
