We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 33 Electronic Exhibition Opening

As the head clerk at HSBC, the first thing Shen Bi does when he goes to work every day is to see if his secretary has sent any documents that need urgent processing. If not, he will ask for a cup of coffee and then start browsing the news newspapers from Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, trying to Here we find some targets with opportunities for HSBC.

This morning was the same as usual. After asking if nothing happened, Shen Bi ordered a cup of coffee and prepared to return to the office to read the newspaper. But he didn't expect that as soon as he walked in, his right-hand men Benlett and Rooney opened the door and walked in.

After hanging up his clothes, Shen Bi asked in confusion, "This is the first time you two have come here together so early in the morning. Did something big happen?"

The two looked at each other and motioned to each other to speak. Finally, Benlitt said, "Mr. Taipan, do you still remember Luo Nianzhong?"

Shen Bi nodded and didn't know why he was mentioned. In Shen Bi's eyes, this rising star might be able to achieve success in the future, but at this stage, he is not yet worthy of his attention.

"Just in the past two days, a company called Honor Games has received an influx of US$1.5 million into its account, and the boss behind it is Luo Nianzhong."

"1.5 million? US dollars?" Shen Bi thought he heard wrongly, and was even more shocked when he saw Benlit's determined expression.

It was impossible for the other party to be laundering money, and the money laundering operation would not be so crude, so the only possibility was to earn it through legitimate channels, which made Shen Bi very interested.

"Let's talk about it in detail."

Benlett raised his hand to signal Rooney to speak, but Rooney was not humble either.

"According to our understanding, this electronics factory produces arcade machines. It has recently developed three games that are very popular in Hong Kong Island, Southeast Asia and island countries."

Shen Bi frowned after hearing this. He really didn't know much about arcade machines. "Do you have detailed information about this company?"

"Still collecting. According to the information we currently have, the input for this Honor game does not completely go through our HSBC account, so we don't know the cost price yet, but the profit is definitely more than 100%. Another point is the arcade machine Game development is very expensive, and we don’t know how much the other party spent on developing the game.”

"What about the price? What is their ex-factory price, and how much sales are expected?" Since there are many things that are impossible to know, let's start with the easy-to-inquire speculations.

"The price in Hong Kong Island is HK$12000, and the ex-factory price in other regions is US$2400. According to our HSBC analysis department's analysis of past hot-selling arcade machines, the sales volume of each game should exceed 10 units."

"10 units, three games are 30 units, and a profit of US$1200 for an arcade machine is a profit of US$3.6 million. I never expected that a toy that is only used for entertainment can have such a huge profit. We at HSBC also did it last year But a profit of more than 5 million US dollars, right?"

After Shen Bi finished speaking, he felt a little dazed. He had no idea why this arcade machine was so profitable. It accounted for more than half of HSBC's profit last year. But he also knew that not all arcade machines were like this. As far as movies are concerned, the content is very important, and if you have a lot of success, you will lose all your money.

But no matter what, Shen Bi was moved by this terrifying ability to attract money.

"Continue to pay attention and add him to our highest level of customers. We will send him an invitation letter to this year's HSBC charity dinner. I am really looking forward to this new tycoon from Hong Kong Island."

Tycoon, now in Shen Bi's eyes Luo Nianzhong is qualified to be called that. If a company's profit is close to or even exceeds that of HSBC, as long as it is not a flash in the pan, who is it if he is not a tycoon? The only drawback is that this industry does not have much influence.

Luo Nianzhong didn't know that he had become HSBC's focus and the most senior customer. At this time, he was sitting on a plane flying to Los Angeles. Went to the Los Angeles International Electronics Show.

There is no direct flight from Hong Kong Island to Los Angeles. The plane made a transfer in the capital of the island country. This long journey made Luo Nianzhong decide that once he had more money, he must book a big plane to use.

Moreover, Zhao Yazhi once worked as a flight attendant. When the time comes, she will put on a flight attendant uniform and squat beside him to serve him. It is exciting to think about it.

It was already late at night when the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport. Luo Nianzhong didn't feel a chill when he walked out of the airport wearing a half-sleeved T-shirt.

The car was already waiting outside the airport. Robert had arranged it in advance. The group of people sat in three Cadillacs and drove forward slowly under the cover of night.

The place to stay was the Four Seasons Hotel, which is right next to the famous Beverly Hills. As for the reason, it was purely because it was close enough to the exhibition site. Could it be that Luo Nianzhong was expecting a chance encounter from Hollywood? But when the blessing really comes, he won't resist.

After sleeping until about nine o'clock, and having breakfast, Luo Nianzhong learned from Robert that other staff members had already gone to the exhibition to prepare.

The Los Angeles Electronics Show has become famous in recent years, which has also benefited from the development of the personal electronics industry in recent years. Earlier, these electronic devices were provided to companies or the military, and ordinary people would not care about these.

In fact, if it is called an electronics exhibition, Luo Nianzhong feels that it is more appropriate to call it a semiconductor exhibition.

Here, beautiful country's IBN, Intel, Motorola, Texas Instruments. There are also semiconductor giants such as Hitachi and Toshiba in the island country who are the protagonists. IBM, in particular, occupies the largest and most advantageous location in the entire venue, which shows its dominant position in this industry.

As for those finished electronic products, most of them are concentrated in a remote location, and arcade machines are one of them.

When Luo Nianzhong came here, he was not in a hurry to go to his company's booth, but took a stroll to understand the current level of semiconductor development.

本届展会的明星无疑是摩托罗拉的68K,也就是68000处理器,这是摩托罗拉新研制成功的一款具有32位内部储存器的16/32位的混合CPU。

Although it is still in the laboratory sample stage, it does not prevent him from becoming the star of this exhibition. Luo Nianzhong knew that in half a year, this product, which would have a profound impact on future generations, would be mass-produced.

How great was his influence? Arcade machines produced after the 30s basically used this CPU. Until years later, subsequent versions of this series were still the preferred processor platform for many industrial control and embedded systems.

Many people may not know about the 68000 processor. Most people may have heard of its benchmark product, which is Intel's 80x86 series. You can imagine how good its performance is.

After wandering around for a while, I came to the electronic products area. The first thing I saw when I entered was the product booths of Atari and Sega. At this time, there were already many people gathered here, queuing up to experience the latest game achievements of the two companies.

These two companies are not only selling arcade machines, but also home game consoles.

After walking all the way to the end, Luo Nianzhong saw his company's booth. Due to the remote location and the crowds being at Atari and Sega, his company's booth was empty except for the staff led by Liang Jiadong.

Looking at the anxious people, Luo Nianzhong clapped his hands, focused everyone's eyes on himself and said, "Don't be anxious, just take a rest if there is no one else, otherwise you won't be able to rest even if you want to."

Luo Nianzhong's confidence made the employees of Honor Games feel a lot more relaxed and less anxious.

The exhibition has just begun, and there are not many people in the product area. In addition, Atari and Sega in front attract almost all the people, so it is normal for there to be no one now.

After noon, when people from other exhibition areas gathered, there would naturally be people who came to play their own company's games. They couldn't all be stuck at Atari and others watching.

In fact, in the final analysis, the development is still not mature enough, and the electronic entertainment market has just opened. In this era, most of these exhibitions are in related fields, and the technologies of those giants are what they focus on.

After comforting the employees, Luo Nianzhong discovered that there were people who were worse off than his own company, huddled in the innermost corner between his company's booth and the opposite company's booth. He raised his head and glanced at the company name, and Luo Nianzhong was happy.

Apple Computer Inc. Isn't this the predecessor of Apple?

There were only two people chatting boringly inside, and there was no Master Qiao. Luo Nianzhong walked around their booth and had no desire to continue watching. If Master Qiao was here, Luo Nianzhong would be interested in getting to know each other more deeply.

I didn’t expect that Apple, which would be famous in later generations, would actually have such a history. To highlight the point, if there is a chance in the future, I can use it to tease the other party, but I don’t know if the other party will become angry.
