Chapter 69 Charter Flight
Nihon Chiyoda District in Tokyo, centered on the Chuo Road on the west side of Akihabara Station, on a street 400 meters wide from east to west and 800 meters long from north to south, is called Akihabara.
Today's Akihabara has not yet become a paradise for future generations of anime and games. Nowadays, it mainly sells electrical appliances and electronic products. It is the number one electrical appliance shopping street in Japan. There are dense billboards on both sides of the street. 10% of Japan's electrical appliance transactions are transacted here every year!
But three years ago, after Nippon was taken care of by its sovereign country, the stock market and property market collapsed one after another. Coupled with the suppression of semiconductors, even the electrical appliance industry that Nippon was proud of has now collapsed. Also suffered heavy losses.
Akihabara, which represents Nippon Electric, has also seen some changes. Comic shops, game stores, arcades, figure and toy stores, etc. have begun to appear here.
Bandai also has a store in Akihabara. In addition to selling Bandai's famous toys and figures, there are also several rows of gashapon machines. This is another great tool for Bandai to attract money. No matter how powerful it is in attracting money, it can't stop burning money. You’ll pay a lot of money if you make a game console!
In the past, Bandai could also attract many young people or tourists, but today there is a long queue, from the Bandai store to the street, and the number of people is still increasing!
If electronic pet machines have to be tested in Hong Kong City, and only Xiaohe has shown their sharp edges, then in Japan, there is a tendency of being completely exploded.
Ning's Trading has reached a cooperation with Bandai, and through Bandai's sales channels, it has tried to launch 150,000 electronic pet machines in major toy and electronic retail stores in Tokyo, Nagoya, Yokohama, Osaka and other places. store, Bandai actually doesn’t pay much attention to this product.
If it weren’t for the fact that Bandai is in a recession right now, suffering huge losses, with the game console failing miserably and toys and figures unable to be sold, Bandai might not even be interested in this product this time. Fifty thousand electronic pet machines, with a total value of more than two million US dollars, are really just a test for Bandai.
At least Chizawa Miao never thought that he would call Ning Wenke. Those agents and sellers in the past were all begging for Bandai's supply!
But the electronic pet machine really exceeded the expectations of Ikezawa Nae and Bandai's marketing department. The spread of the electronic pet machine was really too fast!
On the first day when the electronic pet machine was launched, it was still tepid, but on the second day, in many middle schools and even universities in Japan, the electronic pet machine began to spread among girls.
Faced with the sales of electronic pet machines, shopping malls and retail stores that sell them also began to try to hang up posters to promote them. The sales of electronic pet machines began to grow suddenly.
In less than a week, the electronic pet machine has become the most popular electronic item in many schools in Tokyo, or it can also be said to be a social "credential".
People who own electronic pet machines get together to play after class. Invisibly, people who play with electronic pet machines will also form a new social circle based on electronic pet machines.
Electronic pet machines are spreading rapidly in Japan, with Tokyo as the leader and schools as the center, and many housewives and office workers have begun to buy them.
Ikezawa Nae was also shocked when she received a series of calls from retail stores to push for goods and learned that 150,000 electronic pet machines had been sold out.
“We need 400,000 units here. Some retail stores have already run out of stock. We will fly them directly to Tokyo and Bandai will bear the cost!”
After Chizawa Nao called Ning Wenke, her face He couldn't help but look forward to it. Bandai's products were now hard to sell. Even in Japan, sales had dropped horribly. As the head of the marketing department, Nae Ikezawa was also under a lot of pressure.
If the electronic pet machine really becomes popular in Japan, then Nae Ikezawa can be considered as having made great contributions to Bandai. If he can even rely on the sales of the electronic pet machine to help Bandai overcome difficulties, then Nae Ikezawa's status in Bandai will be I'm afraid it will grow a lot.
Ikezawa Nao wanted to report this matter to Yamako Makoto, but after thinking about it, the electronic pet machine is just testing the water for the first batch. If the subsequent sales are not good, then he will go this time , isn’t it flattering? Thinking of this, he decided to wait a little longer to see how the second batch of machines sold in Japan, and then report to Shan Kecheng. Anyway, the credit belongs to him, and he can’t escape. .
“Forty thousand electronic pet machines have been sold in Hong Kong City!”
“All the 60,000 pieces placed in the stick have been sold out, and they are out of stock over there!”
“10,000 units sold in Singapore!”
"In big cities such as Siam, Cochin, and Malaysia, the total sales of electronic pet machines have exceeded 50,000 units!"
Zhang Ao, sales manager at Dongling High-tech Headquarters in Hanxi, listened to the reports from his subordinates. He seemed calm and composed when the news came out, but every time he heard about the sales volume in a region, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
There was a period of great sales for satellite pots before, but the profit was in RMB, which is completely different from the electronic pet machines that are now earning foreign exchange.
According to the sales statistics, except for the sales volume of Japanese benzene in the first week, in other places such as Hong Kong City, Bangzi, Singapore, and Siam, the sales volume of electronic pet machines was 160,000 units. The amount exceeded 2.4 million U.S. dollars, which converted into RMB 19 million!
You know, this is just the beginning of testing the waters. Large-scale advertising has not yet begun. Zhang Ao suppressed his excitement and asked the director of the marketing department, "Ning's Trading Company has not yet Are the sales figures of Nippon? "All 150,000 machines are sold out in Nihon. They want us to fly 400,000 machines over there immediately."
The staff responsible for contacting Ning's Trading Company ran towards Zhang Ao with excitement on his face, holding a sales statistics sheet in his hand.
“The Benz machines in Japan have been sold out?!”
“All 150,000 examples have been sold out?”
When Zhang Ao heard the news, There was a "buzz" in his mind. The sales volume of electronic pet machines in Japan and Ben was almost the same as the rest of Southeast Asia. This purchasing power was really scary, and Zhang Ao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After picking up the sales statistics and taking a look at it, Zhang Ao hurried to Li Dongling's office.
“310,000 units!”
“The sales statistics of the electronic pet machine test water are out, and a total of 310,000 units were sold!”
One Pushing open the office door, Zhang Ao finally couldn't help it and shouted to the people inside. Yao Luoying and Hu Huxian, who were in Li Dongling's office, had similar expressions to Zhang Ao's just now when they heard this kid. They felt disbelief at first, and then couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but show joy.
If the Silver Sable Mouse became famous, it was due to its lawsuit with Microsoft, but it did not become a hit and did not directly bring huge profits to Donglin Hi-Tech.
But the electronic pet machine is different. This is almost the best-selling product since the establishment of Donglin High-tech, and it can bring huge cash flow to Donglin High-tech!
Compared to Yao Luoying and Hu Xian, Li Dongling finally breathed a sigh of relief. The electronic pet machine project was a project that Li Dongling came up with to solve his urgent need.
Donngling Hi-Tech needs to make up for the gap period before the release of digital cordless phones and needs to support itself. Thousands of employees recruited from Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 need to develop a new generation of mice, mini radios, car radios and u If the electronic pet machine can sell well, all these problems will be solved!
In Dongling Hi-Tech Electronics Industrial Park, Tao Zhiliang, who is in charge of a production line, has only one feeling now: tired. Even if you give him a bed or throw a mat on the floor, he can sleep there.
During the previous training period, Tao Zhiliang was still worried that there would be no work to do in the electronics industrial park, and he eventually fired them. But now he no longer has this worry. He can't finish the work, he can't finish it at all!
Now Tao Zhiliang and the others are working together. He should have changed his shift and gone back to rest, but because of the installation of new production line debugging equipment, he was left to help.
However, Tao Zhiliang did not work for free, he was paid overtime. This was the first time Tao Zhiliang heard of this thing. He had never heard of it when he was in a state-owned factory. He did the math. If he works overtime every day, his overtime pay will be much higher than his salary after a month.
“Everyone has worked hard today. After get off work, each person can receive a pound of meat. You can choose canned food, orange powder, malted milk, and brown sugar to take back!
Just received the call from the headquarters. Bian informed me that this month, all employees in the production department will receive double wages, and there will also be bonuses at the end of the month..."
While Tao Zhiliang was busy, he saw Gao Peng coming in with a loudspeaker, followed by There were people pushing the carts. On the cart were weighed and wrapped pieces of meat. The rest were canned food, orange powder, brown sugar and other things that were given to relatives when they were walking around during the New Year. Today, one was given directly to each person.
Hearing this, there was a burst of cheers in the workshop. This kind of treatment and benefits, not to mention Pingyang, is the only one even in the provincial capital. The bag of meat alone also comes with canned food, malted milk, etc. , which adds up to more than ten yuan!
Over at the electronics industrial park warehouse, it is also very busy, and large trucks are already waiting there to load goods.
Ten burly men from the Tanglin Hi-Tech Security Department were also traveling with them. There were two security personnel traveling with the driver in the large truck, and two small cars, one in front and one behind, escorting the truck. All the way to the airport in the provincial capital, Tanglin High-tech even invited the Binh Duong Municipal Government to coordinate the police cars to clear the way. After arriving in the provincial capital, the provincial capital will also take over!
We really have to be careful. There are real robbers on the road now. It’s really hard to get by without too many people. In many places, there are still banners hanging next to the national highways saying “It is illegal to rob police cars.” How bad it is to leave.
And this truck contains a total of 600,000 electronic pet machines, worth more than nine million US dollars. You can never be too careful!
The staff at the provincial capital airport were a little surprised when they saw such a large formation and the electronic pet machine being escorted over. Even though they had been working at this airport for many years, chartering flights and transporting cargo by air was not the first time they had done so. See you once!
