Chapter 597 Hollywood's Requirements for Active Cooperation
Gordonmore agreed readily, "No problem."
Yang Wendong said again: "There is another thing. Intel designs chips after all, and it is not a big deal to always take over my business. So, I will let the personnel of Honor's branch in the United States come together and learn from you. How about it? ”
"Study?" Gordon Moore was a little confused for a moment.
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't want to learn your main business. It's just your chip usage knowledge, and also the participation in the game development process."
Whether it is now a shareholder of Intel or Intel's achievements in previous lives, many of their future products will most likely use Intel's chips, not just games, but even future home appliances. At most, they will use the old technology of the previous generations. Enough, too.
It is still very helpful to your own people to be able to participate in some internal research and development of Intel;
Although I now need to rely on Intel to develop games or a certain technology, this is only a short-term solution. In the future, I still need to develop my own team, and even the team in Hong Kong needs to participate in the research and development. Only this is the safest.
After hearing this, Gordonmore felt relieved and said, "Okay, we may not have so much time to do this kind of business in the future."
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and asked again: "By the way, Gordon, Intel should need a professional CEO now, right? It's a success now, and it can no longer follow the previous model."
Gordon Moore said: "I have also considered this and Neuss. I am currently looking for the right person through Stanford University's internal recommendation."
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "That's OK. I also hope that Intel can enter the normal development field as soon as possible."
Intel's future fields, not to mention Hong Kong companies, or European companies, will not work, because if you want to successfully form a monopoly in some global technology fields, the premise must be that there is a strong government behind it, otherwise it will not work at all.
Therefore, investing in Intel and enjoying some economic dividends is enough. Although it is helpless, this is a reality. Even in the mainland 50 years later, many technologies are already very developed, but they cannot enter the markets of many countries. This is not something that can be determined by business. That’s not to mention Hong Kong capital.
"OK." Gordonmore didn't think this had any big impact on him;
Intel's core business is still chips, and other scattered businesses can also make money, but their team cannot spend too much energy. If Yang Wendong was not the major shareholder, he would not necessarily accept such orders when he was busy.
After staying at Intel for a long time, Yang Wendong said goodbye and left. This negotiation was also the beginning of the game industry.
If there is no new market in any industry, such as the reform and opening up of the mainland, or there are revolutionary technological breakthroughs, it is almost impossible for latecomers to challenge successful predecessors;
Changxing Industrial was able to grow up because of some small creative products. Watsons' food industry was able to grow up because of the prophet's ability, such as instant noodles, Red Bull, ham sausage, etc., which was additionally a certain degree of Capital assistance plus Hong Kong's low labor cost advantages, etc.;
But Honor Electronics, although its scale is already very large in Hong Kong, is internationally versus other electronic industry giants, it is like a child; although it also has new products such as microwave ovens and electric mosquito swatters, these patents are easy to use If other companies are bypassed by them, there is almost no creativity or some patent in the electronics industry that can prevent other companies from entering the market, otherwise all smartphones in their previous lives would be monopolized by Apple, the pioneer.
However, copyright can do this. Once the game is researched, others cannot copy it. In addition to cash cows, it is also the best opportunity to build brand awareness. When one day the Honor game consoles are sold to many families, Selling any other electronic products will have a lot of trust.
After returning to his hotel, Yang Wendong looked at Lin Youqi and asked, "Youqi, how are we doing in the American bar supply system?"
Lin Youxi replied: "Yang Sheng, through Red Bull's exclusive supply, I have reached cooperation with local bar merchandise suppliers in more than 30 states. Red Bull will sell them at a discounted price, and then they will give it to them. Bar.”
"Okay, with the American bar population, many people will know the taste of Red Bull in a while." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Red Bull was very famous in his previous life, but the price was also advertising marketing in billions of dollars. In an era when the electronics industry had not yet risen, it was difficult for Changxing Group to have the ability to carry out such a large advertising campaign in Europe and the United States. In history, The European Red Bull has gradually developed for more than ten years before it has been able to sponsor sports activities on a large scale;
Therefore, choose the right method, first gradually increase popularity and recycle costs, wait for the right opportunity, and then make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.
Truck drivers, factory workers and bar customers are more likely to accept Red Bull, so the first goal is to conquer this market first.
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Yes, our Red Bull has more or less a little quenching effect. Although it is not as good as professional medicine, it tastes much stronger." Drugs that are more quenching than Red Bull are too difficult to drink. It’s better than Red Bull and has no ability to quench wine, so Red Bull will naturally be loved by some people in the bar;
As for the high price, it is not a problem at all. I have come to the bar, and I still care about the price a little?
The United States in this era may be said to be a beacon of human economy. A worker can support a wife, two or three children, a dog, and travel regularly, etc., not after 2020.
Yang Wendong followed and said, "Okay, continue to operate this channel seriously so that American consumers can gradually know that there is this drink, so that we can promote it in other aspects in the future;
In addition, I need to continue to communicate in-depth with the bar channel. In addition to Red Bull, I will also use this channel to do another thing, which is also very important. ”
When electronic games first appeared, they were extremely expensive. No matter how simple the game was, the cost of all aspects would cost two or three thousand dollars, and the core was the chip;
This high cost makes it impossible to achieve real civil use in the early stage, so it can only be placed in public areas, allowing consumers to charge per-view;
The most suitable public area is the bar. People here are rich, seek entertainment, and are more likely to consume impulsively after drinking. They are extremely perfect. The arcades in the early days of their past lives were successful by using bars.
Only when the chip costs have been reduced a lot in the 1980s will gaming consoles enter the home, such as the most well-known red and white machines.
Lin Youqi agreed and said, ‘Okay, no problem. I will communicate with bars in all states in the United States through intermediaries. ’
There are tens of thousands of bars across the United States, and it is impossible to connect them one by one. They can only be through intermediaries. This is also a necessary model for many businesses, and it is also the fundamental reason why some channels are difficult to construct.
"Okay, that's it." Yang Wendong said again.
The bar channel will first use Red Bull’s sales to develop. When the arcade comes out in the future, as long as it can be confirmed that the arcade can make money for the bar owner, then you will have enough customers.
Tens of thousands of bars and tens of thousands of them are purchased, which is also a very big deal, which is enough to easily recover various costs and achieve huge profits in the electronics industry.
"Okay." Lin Youqi paused and said, "Yang Sheng, just around 9 o'clock last night, the 20th Century Fox found me by phone. He hoped that I could connect to Hong Kong and invite me. Li Xiaolong came to the United States to make a movie and wanted to meet you and discuss some content that can be cooperated with."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Twentieth Century Fox? Interesting. It seems that what we do in Asia can also affect the United States." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
In Asia, Li Xiaolong is still making movies. Just a while ago, the fourth part was successfully released and the box office exceeded HK$5 million again;
Moreover, this movie is not the ones filmed by Li Xiaolong in his previous life, but Li Xiaolong conceived separately. The plot about the Hong Kong gang and the police was not only popular after it was filmed, but also affected the Hong Kong government's policy on corruption.
On the other hand, it is capital. Yang Wendong used the group's funds to expand theaters in Japan and many Southeast Asian countries. Including Japan, Changxing Cinemas now has more than 1,000 cinemas in Asia, although most of them have one screen. But it has become one of the largest theater companies in Asia and is still expanding. Whether it is building or acquiring old theaters, it has been continuing.
Hollywood in the United States is not the strength of blockbusters in the 1990s. If you want to achieve overseas results, you have to rely on overseas stars and theaters.
Lin Youxi smiled and said, "Yes, Li Xiaolong's movies are also very famous in the American Chinese circle, and even some white Americans are interested in them. Several Hong Kong movies have also achieved good results after coming to the United States; >
With our group's influence in the Asian film market, it is normal for Hollywood companies to cooperate with us. ”
"I'm waiting for this moment too." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Okay, let's make an appointment, I'll stay in the United States for a few more days, anytime."
In history, Li Xiaolong became a top star in Hong Kong under the promotion of Jiahe, and then he couldn't wait to cooperate with Hollywood;
Although it was finally done, the conditions were not satisfactory. However, Jiahe did not have much capital at that time, so he could only admit it. He hoped that after Li Xiaolong's new movie became famous in the United States, he would have the confidence to renegotiate;
This is true in business logic, but unfortunately, Li Xiaolong suddenly passed away.
Nowadays, Li Xiaolong has been making movies in Hong Kong, and Yang Wendong is not in a hurry to let him come to Hollywood. Instead, he only needs to do well enough. Then there are so many companies in Hollywood, and there will always be people who come to them on their own initiative;
Whoever finds it first is very important in cooperation negotiations, and it concerns the core rights and interests of future new movies and even cooperation models, so it is better to wait than to hurry. Anyway, with Changxing Group's channels in Asia, the profit of a movie is even more important. However, Hollywood is much better than other movies, including Li Xiaolong's profits.
Now that the 20th Century Fox is here, he is just taking advantage of his time in the United States.
