Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 44 The Price Butcher
Such a cheap typewriter soon caused a sensation at the winter CES exhibition.

More and more people crowded into Wujiang's booth, and even some reporters were filming with hand-held cameras.

"Mr. Wang, our Imagine typewriter is going to be popular!" A saleswoman said excitedly, her little face flushed.

"Calm down, fire is normal, not fire is not normal!" Wang Anshi smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, the Imagine typewriter developed by our company is so cheap and so powerful, even I would be very tempted and want to buy one!"

"Okay, hurry up and receive customers, make sure to take the order!"

"Mr. Wang, don't worry, I will definitely be able to take orders today!!"

……

At this time, Wang An Company also participated in the winter CES exhibition.

Soon someone informed Wang An of the news.

"Dr. Wang An, it's not good. There was a company selling typewriters at the exhibition, and it suddenly became popular!!! The typewriters of this company are not only powerful, but the price is only half of Wang An's typewriter! Now many dealers are very impressed with this typewriter. interest!"

When Wang An heard this, he was a little dismissive. Which company can develop a typewriter that can surpass Wang An's typewriter?

Even IBM was defeated by myself, I don't believe that anyone can challenge Wang An's company?

"Dr. Wang An, this company is coming aggressively. It is said that it is the largest private technology company in China. It seems that it has reached a cooperation with IBM some time ago and obtained the exclusive agency right of IBM-PC in mainland China."

Wang An frowned upon hearing this.

He regarded IBM as his lifelong enemy.

Companies that can cooperate with IBM have some strengths if they think about it.

Wang An's face darkened: "Tell me carefully about the situation of this company and the typewriter they developed..."

"Okay, Dr. Wang An, this company is called Wujiang Group, and it owns Imagine Technology Company, which has developed the Imagine Chinese card and Imagine typewriter..."

The person who spoke obviously did a detailed investigation on Wujiang Company before coming, and knew Wujiang Company very well.

When Wang An heard this, his head went numb.

Is he going to see for himself that the Imagine typewriter is really as good as he said?

A few minutes later, Wang An rushed to the booth of Wujiang Company. When he saw the staff demonstrating the Imagine typewriter, Wang An suddenly thumped, and a strong sense of crisis immediately came to his heart.

At this time, the staff said: "Imagine typewriter, high quality and low price, the price is only half of the Wang An typewriter, which is 2000 US dollars! If you want to buy it as soon as possible, first come, first served, the production capacity is insufficient. If you are slower, the order can only be delayed. Delivered in a few months!"

As soon as Wang An heard this, he was dizzy and puzzled, how could it be so cheap, how could it be so cheap...

At this moment, Wang An seemed to have aged a lot.

In the next few days, the Imagine typewriter completely became famous at the winter CES exhibition.

Orders keep coming.

On the other hand, Wang An's booth was completely empty.

After the end of the winter CES, Wujiang received a total of 3.2 orders for Imagine printers, causing a sensation in the United States.

A large number of media immediately began to bad-mouth Wang An Company.

Wang An typewriters also began to be seriously unsalable. At the same time, the stock price of Wang An Company plummeted like an avalanche, and countless stockholders panicked and sold them crazily.

Wang An's personal worth also plummeted.

Perhaps, the position of the richest Chinese man will become someone else in a short time.

"Boss, we have found out that the cost of the Imagine typewriter is so cheap because most of the accessories are produced in their own factory, and the cost is extremely low. In addition, the labor expenses are extremely low. The workers in their factory spend a month The salary is only 50 yuan, while the salary of our ordinary factory in the United States is thousands of dollars!" Wang An's secretary introduced.

When Wang An heard this, he couldn't help being stunned and couldn't believe it.

How can the Imagine typewriter compete with such a low cost?

"Boss, just now many dealers came to return the goods, saying that the price of Wang An typewriter is too expensive to sell... Boss, what do you think should be done about this?"

"Let people appease the dealers first, and don't let them return the goods! Our company will definitely come up with a solution to protect their interests."

"Yes!"

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang An called a meeting of the company's top management to discuss countermeasures.

Wang An asked: "Facing the strong attack of Imagine typewriters, do you have any countermeasures?"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but there is no good way.

The Wang An typewriter seems to be inferior to the Imagine typewriter in all aspects, only the price is twice that of the Imagine typewriter, and no matter how much it competes, it cannot compete with the other side.

Someone put forward a suggestion: "We can only compete with the Imagine typewriter if we reduce the production cost of the Wang An typewriter. As for how to reduce the cost, I suggest that the company build a factory in China. The wages of Chinese workers are very low, only a few tenths of that of American workers." one!"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but nodded.

Wang An's complexion still didn't improve. It's okay to build a factory, but it can't quench his thirst. When he builds the factory, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold, and the market will probably be occupied by Imagine typewriters.

Wang An felt anxious for a while, feeling puzzled.

Breakthrough in technology?

The potential of the typewriter seems to have come to an end, so what else can be done?
……

Zhao Ye, who was far away across the ocean, was extremely happy.

He didn't expect that being a price butcher would catch Wang An by surprise.

Right now, Imagine typewriters are eating up the market share of Wang An typewriters at an extremely fast speed.

If nothing else happens, in just one year, the market share of the Imagine typewriter will exceed that of the Wang An typewriter.

The United States is the first target, followed by the RB market.

Zhao Ye was limited to a few words in Japanese, so he had no way to develop a Japanese typewriter by himself. Instead, he chose to establish RB Wujiang Company, and then recruited local engineers to study Japanese typewriters, which delayed the launch of Japanese typewriters for a long time.

At this moment, in the office, the phone rang.

Guan Manshan, director of CCTV's advertising department, suddenly called.

Zhao Ye was surprised for a while.

"Boss Zhao, congratulations, Imagine typewriters are also on sale in the United States!"

"Thank you, I don't know what Director Guan is calling me for?"

"Oh, it's like this. The crew of "Journey to the West" is short of money. They asked me for help and introduced companies to invest in this drama. After thinking about it, Wujiang company in China has strong financial resources. I don't know if Boss Zhao is interested in investing in "Journey to the West" Are you interested?" Guan Manshan asked, the crew of "Journey to the West" is really poor, the whole crew only has one camera, if they don't get the investment now, the later episodes can only be filmed later when they have money.

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up when he heard the words, the 86 edition of "Journey to the West" is extremely classic, and many people's childhood memories.

"Director Guan, I voted for this drama, and I will make up for the lack of money!" Zhao Ye replied.

Involuntarily, Zhao Ye thought that the filming of "A Dream of Red Mansions" had already started, but it was also very short of money.

If you can use the actors of these two dramas to advertise, wouldn't it make your company popular all over the country and become a household name?
After a pause, Zhao Ye excitedly said: "Director Guan, the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" is also relatively short of money. Please contact me for help. I can still invest in "Dream of Red Mansions"!"

When Director Guan heard this, he was overjoyed. How could he not agree to this good deed delivered to his door!
PS: I have something to do today, the update is slow, and there will be an update tomorrow, to cheer everyone up
