Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Such a cheap typewriter quickly caused a sensation at the winter CES show.

More and more people crowded into Wujiang Group’s booth, and there were even reporters filming with handheld cameras.

"Mr. Wang, our Imagine typewriter is going to be popular!" a female salesperson said excitedly, her face turning red.

"Calm down, it's normal to be angry. It's abnormal not to be angry!" Wang Anshi smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, yeah, the Imagine typewriter developed by our company is so cheap and has such powerful functions. Even I would be very excited and want to buy one!"

"Okay, go and receive customers quickly, make sure to get 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, sorry, there is a company selling typewriters at the exhibition, and it suddenly became popular!!! This company's typewriters are not only powerful, but the price is only two-thirds of Wang An's typewriter! Now many dealers are interested in this I’m interested in a typewriter!”

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 has been defeated by me, I don't believe anyone can challenge Wang An Company?

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

Wang An frowned when he heard this.

He regarded IBM as his lifelong enemy.

A company that can cooperate with IBM seems to have some strength.

Wang An's face darkened: "Tell me carefully about 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 Hanka and the Imagine typewriter..."

The person who spoke had obviously conducted a detailed investigation into the Wujiang Group before coming here and knew the Wujiang Group very well.

When Wang An heard this, his head suddenly went numb.

He wants to see for himself that the Imagine typewriter is as good as he says?

A few minutes later, Wang An rushed to the Wujiang Group's booth and saw the staff demonstrating the Imagine typewriter. Wang An suddenly felt a thump, and a strong sense of crisis immediately surged into his heart.

At this time, the staff said: "Imagine typewriter is high-quality and low-priced. The price is only two-thirds of Wang An's typewriter, which is 2000 US dollars! If you want to buy it, hurry up, first come, first served. The production capacity is insufficient. If you are slower, the order is only The delivery can be delayed until a few months later!”

When Wang An heard this, he felt 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 following days, the Imagine typewriter completely became famous at the winter CES exhibition.

The orders keep coming.

On the other hand, Wang An's company's booth was full of space.

After the end of winter CES, Wujiang Group received a total of 3.2 Imagine printer orders, causing a sensation across the United States.

A large number of media immediately began to speak ill of Wang An Company.

Wang An's typewriters also began to be severely unsalable. At the same time, Wang An's stock price plummeted, like an avalanche, and countless stockholders panicked and sold frantically.

Wang An's own net worth also plummeted.

Perhaps, it won’t take long for someone else to be the richest man in China.

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

When Wang An heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and felt unbelievable.

The cost of Imagine typewriters is so low, how can you compete?

"Boss, many dealers just came to return the goods, saying that the price of Wang An's typewriter is too expensive and difficult to sell...Boss, what should you do about this matter?"

"First let people appease the dealers and not 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 convened a meeting with the company's senior management to discuss countermeasures.

Wang An asked: "Faced with the strong attack of Imagine typewriters, do you have any response?"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, there is no good solution.

The Wang An typewriter seems to be inferior to the Imagine typewriter in all aspects, except that the price is twice that of the Imagine typewriter. No matter how hard it competes, it cannot compete with the other typewriter.

Someone made a suggestion: "We can only compete with the Imagine typewriter by reducing 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 those of American workers." one!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads.

Wang An's face still didn't improve. There was no problem in building the factory, but water from far away could not quench his thirst. By the time he built the factory, the cucumbers and vegetables would be cold, and the market would have been occupied by the Imagine typewriter.

Wang An felt anxious and felt that there was no solution.

A technological breakthrough?

The potential of the typewriter seemed to have come to an end, what else could be done?

……

Zhao Ye, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, was extremely happy.

He didn't expect that being a price butcher would catch Wang An off guard.

At present, the Imagine typewriter is eating up the market share of Wang An typewriter at an extremely fast speed.

If nothing else goes wrong, in just one year, the market share of Imagine typewriters will exceed that of Wang An typewriters.

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 the Wujiang Group (RB Branch), and then recruited local engineers to research Japanese typewriters. This also led to the Japanese typewriter taking a long time to come out. Long delayed.

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

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

Zhao Ye was surprised for a while.

"Boss Zhao, congratulations, the Imagine typewriter is also selling like hot cakes in the United States!"

"Thank you. I wonder why the director called me about something?"

"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 show. I thought about it. Wujiang Group in China has strong financial resources. I wonder 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 entire crew only has one camera. If they don't get investment now, they will have to wait until they have more money to film subsequent episodes.

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this. The 86 version of "Journey to the West" is extremely classic and has been remembered by many people in their childhood.

"Director Guan, I voted for this drama, and I will make up for whatever is missing!" Zhao Ye replied.

Zhao Ye couldn't help but think that the filming of "A Dream of Red Mansions" had already started, but he was also very short of money.

If you can use the actors from 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 said excitedly: "Director Guan, I think the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" is also short of money. Please contact me for help, and I can also invest in "Dream of Red Mansions"!"

When Director Guan heard this, he was overjoyed. How could he not agree to such a good thing coming to his door?

PS: Something happened today and the update is slow. I will update it tomorrow to cheer everyone up.
