Chapter 718 Across the Pacific, I’m crying
Faced with Ed Fleiss's question, the local Microsoft employee was stunned for a moment before turning his attention to the TV.
On the TV was the news from the Central Media Financial Channel, "The Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary, issued by my country's well-known technology company Donglin Hi-Tech, started selling globally today!
Shenzhou's second-generation electronic dictionary is available in markets including mainland my country, Hong Kong cities, Macau and other places, and is also available simultaneously in Bangzi, Singapore, Malaysia, Asan and other places!
This is the first time that a technology company in my country has released products simultaneously to the global market. Shenzhou's second-generation electronic dictionary has been welcomed in many places.
At the Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary sales store on Hanjiang Road, Yongshan District, Seoul, Bangzi, more than 600 consumers lined up to buy it! ”
As the most introverted place in the world, the Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary is in Bangzi, so it is really needed. Even if it only plays a supporting role, as long as it can help Bangzi's college entrance examination, it is just needed!
The popularity of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary in Bangzi is, to a certain extent, even greater than in China. The Bangzi College Entrance Examination can truly determine the life destiny of Bangzi people.
After being admitted to a good university in Bangzi, after graduation, you have the opportunity to join the Bangzi Inspectorate, or work as a cowboy for a chaebol. Being able to join a chaebol is considered the best way out in Bangzi society. There are many people in Bangzi who want to work as a cowboy for a chaebol, but they haven't yet. Chance.
If you fail to pass the exam, in Bangzi's country, your fate in this life is basically fixed. You will never be able to climb to the middle or upper class. You can only wait for the next generation and then change your destiny.
“In other markets, including Singapore and Asan, stores selling Shenzhou electronic dictionaries have also been welcomed by local users!”
The Central Media Finance Channel spent a full five minutes reporting on the overseas sales of Shenzhou electronic dictionaries. They were basically the same as domestic ones, and they were all being robbed.
In overseas markets, on the first day of the launch of Shenzhou's second-generation electronic dictionary, the craziest performance, apart from Bangzi, turned out to be Asan Market!
Asan Market is also a place where it is rolled into twists. It is different from other markets. English in Bangzi is related to the college entrance examination. To be honest, although it is also very important, it cannot determine life or death.
But Asan is different. In Asan, if you want to get into college, enter a prestigious overseas school, get admitted as a civil servant in Asan, and enter the upper class society, you must know English!
Whether you can speak English is what really determines the destiny of people living in Asan. But in this era, less than 10% of people in Asan can master English, and the remaining 90%, even a considerable number People don't even have the opportunity to learn English. Most of the Asan people have spent their whole lives speaking the national dialect of their country, which is the local dialect.
Last year, Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary caused a sensation after it entered Asan, causing rushes in New Delhi, Mumbai and other places.
Even some families in the Asan slum are grabbing Shenzhou electronic dictionaries, hoping to take the opportunity to help their children learn English.
As long as you learn how to do it, you will have the opportunity to enter America, Old Europe, etc., work in a company founded by Asan, and your family will have the opportunity to move out of the slums.
Although there is hope of learning English with the help of the Shenzhou electronic dictionary, and then entering university, studying abroad, entering an official career, and finding a high-paying position in a foreign company, to be honest, no one knows how big the opportunity is in Asan.
But the emergence of the Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary has finally given hope to many Asan families. Compared with the original life of stagnant water with no hope at all, they finally have a little more to look forward to.
As the agent of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary in Asan, I basically made a lot of money. Even if I tripled the purchase price, the supply was still in short supply.
Therefore, even though Ah San, the agent on the other side, was mumbling about the requirement of Tanglin Hi-Tech to pay and deliver the goods, he still obediently paid for the goods, because he really had US dollars to earn!
"The second-generation Shenzhou electronic dictionary is selling well overseas. The estimated overseas sales volume on the first day may exceed... 220,000 units, which has exceeded the first-day sales volume of the first-generation Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary last year!"
The domestic Microsoft employee finished translating the news reported on TV to Ed Fleiss.
The first-day sales volume of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary has not yet been released, but the sales volume in overseas Bangzi, Asan and other places alone is estimated to exceed 220,000 units. That is, the overseas sales alone exceed the first-generation Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary. Daily sales, this does not include sales in mainland China, Hong Kong cities, Macau and other places!
"Twenty-two thousand machines?"
Ed Fleiss asked in surprise. Even though he didn't know much about the electronic dictionary market, he knew that this number was definitely not a small number.
"The news says that the overseas revenue of Shenzhou's second-generation electronic dictionary on its first day is expected to exceed US$24 million!"
The Microsoft local employee said to Ed Fleiss.
The supply price of Shenzhou electronic dictionary to overseas agents is about US$90. This is only the supply price, plus tariffs, transportation costs, warehousing, publicity and other expenses. An electronic dictionary is sold by Bangzi and Asan agents. Prices exceeding US$150, or even selling for double the price to US$180, are commonplace.
During the hottest period last year, Bangzi dealers still sold a Shenzhou electronic dictionary for more than $250.
If you add in SD memory cards, spare batteries, casings, USB data cables, etc., those overseas agents can earn about US$108 for each Shenzhou electronic dictionary imported from Tanglin Hi-Tech.
With 220,000 machines, Tanglin Hi-Tech can recover US$24 million in sales and almost 200 million RMB in revenue. However, in China, earning foreign exchange and RMB have completely different meanings! Ed Fleiss couldn't help but take a breath when he heard that Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary earned US$24 million in one day, and that was just overseas sales. Tanglin Hi-Tech's basic sales in the mainland had not yet been calculated. .
In the software industry, Microsoft is already invincible, but in the hardware industry, the performance of Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary will undoubtedly make Microsoft cry.
If this achievement was created by Microsoft, Ed Fleiss has reason to believe that it is not impossible for Microsoft's stock price to jump 20% higher when the Nasdaq opens tomorrow!
Now Ed Fleiss can't help but have a little more expectation for going to Hanxi. If the stargazing digital video recorder that Tanglin Hi-tech cooperates with Microsoft can achieve such results, the Microsoft board of directors will probably go crazy with joy!
After waving everyone to leave, Ed Fleiss returned to the room, thought for a moment, and called Bill Gates to report on the performance of Tanglin Hi-Tech's new products in the Asian market.
……
No matter what Ed Fleiss is thinking at the moment, Shenzhou's second-generation electronic dictionaries are still being sold out one by one.
Cao Taizheng took two small scalpers and escorted the 500 machines bought for more than 300,000 yuan in a hurry back to his residence.
This was his entire family fortune, and Cao Taizheng felt a little unsure if he didn't have anyone to escort him back.
It was the first time for the two scalpers to engage in such a big deal. They each invested ten thousand or twenty thousand, and then they would receive dividends after selling the machine.
Looking at the boxes of beautifully packaged Shenzhou electronic dictionaries with genuine stamps in front of them, the two scalpers gasped for breath. In their eyes, this was just a lot of RMB!
For these five hundred machines, it is possible that within a few days, they can exchange the 300,000 they invested for 450,000, or even 500,000 or 600,000!
"Brother Cao, can you really sell so many machines?!" The two scalpers asked Cao Taizheng worriedly.
"Put your heart back into your belly. If you can't hold it in any longer, take a few sleeping pills and get up again in a few days!"
Although Cao Taizheng was unsure, he still cursed at the two scalpers. At this time, it was most taboo to think wildly. He couldn't help but sell the machine at a low price. At this time, he had to stay calm and gamble. In a few days, Will Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary be out of stock?
After locking the five hundred machines in the room, Cao Taizheng pinned the key to his trousers. In the past few days, he stayed in the living room and did not go anywhere. No one could take the key from his crotch. Take it away!
“We have prepared enough inventory for Shenzhou’s second-generation electronic dictionary, so you don’t need to worry about not having enough products!
We will continue to put machines into production in accordance with market demand..."
Looking at Zhang Ao, the general manager of the Marketing Department of Dongling Hi-Tech, who was being interviewed by the media on the TV, the two scalpers were obviously a little flustered when they heard this. They didn't even bother to eat the roast duck in their hands.
If Tanglin Hi-tech has enough inventory, then wouldn't they be able to throw away the machines they stocked up? !
But Cao Taizheng still maintained his "general style" and ate leisurely. If Zhang Ao hadn't said this, he would have been a little worried, but seeing Zhang Ao say this, he was no longer worried.
Because last year, Zhang Ao also said in an interview with the media that Shenzhou Electronic Dictionary has sufficient inventory and there is no need to worry about not being able to buy it.
As a result, after Zhang Ao finished speaking, in less than two days, the Shenzhou electronic dictionaries on the market began to be completely out of stock, and it became difficult to find machines. The prices of machines in the hands of scalpers and second-hand dealers continued to rise. Cao Taizheng was also the one time to make a fortune.
Zhang Ao has almost become a negative indicator in the eyes of scalpers. He said that there is no need to worry about not being able to buy the machine, because it must be because the production capacity is insufficient!
……
In Sichuan Chengdu, Chuanrong Electronics Company is busy at the moment, and everyone is working overtime. Jin Shengmao, the founder of Chuanrong Electronics, also returned to the office after patrolling the company, dragging his tired body.
At this moment, there is a camp bed in Jin Shengmao's office. Although he has been criticized by the media for cutting leeks in the stock market, he is very attentive to the company's business and knows what is most important.
Jin Shengmao has been doing his job in the office these days and has been personally supervising the troops in Chuanrong Electronics Company.
"Boss, the Chengdu Evening News, Chengdu Daily, Sichuan Finance and other media want to interview you. Do you want to meet with these media?"
"In addition, there are general managers of some institutions such as Shuchuan Securities, and they also want to have dinner with you, boss, tomorrow!"
