Chapter 123
Li Jiale was not just saying this casually. For the sake of a million dollars in foreign exchange, he received a very warm reception.
Even though he clearly stated that he could exchange the foreign exchange, everyone was still very enthusiastic, which made him a little nervous.
After a few days, he really realized that these people were simply afraid that he would go back on his word.
"But Mr. Zhou, I don’t know why, I feel comfortable after coming to the mainland. The conditions are a bit worse, but I feel energetic and full of vigor, unlike Hong Kong Island which is too decadent.
Zhou Feng agrees with Li Jiale’s evaluation. Although Hong Kong Island’s economy is much better than that of the mainland, and it is also a gathering place for world culture, it always feels that something is missing. He doesn’t feel as at ease in Hong Kong Island as he did in Kaoshantun. He thought it was his fault, but he didn’t expect Li Jiale to have the same feeling.
"Now we have almost finished all the necessary work, the company formalities have been completed, the parts suppliers have been selected, and we are just waiting for the factory to be completed and put into production."
"Our first batch of goods will probably not be delivered to Hong Kong Island until August or September. After attending the signing ceremony, you can go around and then go back."
These words touched Li Jiale's heart. He really wanted to travel. One is to visit Beijing and the other is to go back to his hometown in Fujian Province.
Zhou Feng can't do things that exploit labor. After all, he has to let people go to places they want to go.
Li Jiale already knew about the big deals Zhou Feng had made during his absence, and asked with some worry:"Mr. Zhou, isn't it a bit radical for us to order one million sets at once?"
Zhou Feng understood Li Jiale's concerns. If he was not a prophet, he would think so. After all, the current game market is not very prominent, and some large consortiums don't take this area seriously. Otherwise, let alone competing, even Nintendo would not have the opportunity to rise.
"Don't worry, I am sure about this, and this is not a short-term sales target, but a one-year one."
Li Jiale nodded and said nothing more. He just listened to the one-year thing. Now the factory has not been built yet, and he only has half a year to sell it.
He has said what he should say, and he does not know the game market as well as Zhou Feng. He just needs to do his best after the reminder. He also hopes that Zhengfeng will be a hit.
Zhou Feng thought about it and decided to give Li Jiale a reassurance, otherwise he would have no energy to work. Being afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind would make him inefficient. Moreover, at this point in time, all Zhou Feng has to do is go all in.
"As far as the current game market is concerned, arcade games still occupy the majority of the market share, but this situation will be broken with the advent of our products."
"That is to say, home game terminals will gradually replace arcade machines. You can think about it, what are the advantages of home game consoles over arcade machines?"
Li Jiale thought for a while and said,"More convenient?"
Zhou Feng nodded and said,"Yes, it is more convenient, and it is based on the family. Those who have a TV and young people at home are our target customers."
"I don’t need to tell you about the TV penetration rate in Hong Kong Island! What about Taiwan and the United States?"
"In fact, we didn’t see this market first. Both Yagari and Nintendo have also developed in this direction and have launched corresponding products, but they are still far behind arcade machines in terms of equipment experience and game design, so they are still alternative routes for everyone. When a product really ignites the market, you will see how crazy these companies will be."
Li Jiale suddenly realized why Zhou Feng was so anxious.
"So you plan to produce as many as possible in a batch and seize the market as much as possible in the early stage?"
Zhou Feng nodded:"We will also build channels in Hong Kong Island as soon as possible. As a base camp, it would be a shame to our local advantages if we don't take it. In addition, we should pay attention to some talents in game design. No matter where they are, we will dig them up if we can."
"No problem, I'll get started when I get back, including the branches in Japan and the United States, as well as the legal team."
After returning to the mainland, the communication with the outside world became less and less, and I didn't know how Nintendo's promotion of"Donkey Kong" was going. Zhou Feng hoped that it would sell as much as possible.
It was not for the profit share, but to promote"Donkey Kong" through Nintendo. When the Confrontation Famicom was launched,"Donkey Kong" would be a living signboard, and the home version of Donkey Kong would definitely attract some players.
"Mr. Zhou, we need to install a telephone line in Kaoshantun, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to communicate."
"No problem, it will be quick."
Actually, Zhou Feng had already thought of this and had asked Wu Yongfei to run the formalities. Basically, the installation can be done once the factory is built.
Zhou Feng then talked to Li Jiale about the signing ceremony.
There was not much else to pay attention to, except for the most basic signature. Zhou Feng hoped that Li Jiale would spread the news that Zhengfeng Company had established a public welfare department.
It was not that Zhou Feng was so anxious to gain favor, but that Zhengfeng needed this visibility now to prepare for the subsequent large-scale recruitment and to establish its own reputation.
He was not afraid of others saying that he was putting on a show. There was nothing to be ashamed of in doing good deeds. He hoped that more people would follow suit.
The signing ceremony between Qiyi Er and Zhengfeng was very grand, and Li Daochang basically notified everyone who could be notified. Qiyi Er actually faced great pressure in all aspects in setting up this integrated circuit factory. On the one hand, it was internal. The factory, especially some old people, were very concerned about the company's performance.
Li Daochang was very confused about why he didn't just focus on TVs but insisted on making integrated circuits.
However, the local government and Li Daochang firmly supported this matter, so those voices were suppressed.
Outside, more companies, led by Jiangnan Radio, were looking at the joke of 712, an outsider.
So this time, it was a big moment to win the order of tens of millions of dollars from Zhengfeng.
The most important thing is that it is in US dollars, which is a scarce foreign exchange in China. Which company can earn foreign exchange for the country within half a year of its establishment?
Zhou Feng also knew the truth, so he agreed to settle accounts with 712 in US dollars, including subsequent orders.
No matter how much support the semiconductor industry gives, it is not too much, but there is one thing, that is, they cannot lose their sense of competition. Zhou Feng is determined to become a long-term, stable and difficult customer of 712.
As cars drove into Kaoshantun, the signing ceremony was about to begin.
