Zhang Yi thought about it. Except for his newly purchased sub in Jinshan. There is no wedding room in Haizhou. The wedding banquet was also held at the Xicheng Hotel. I didn't go back to the old house in Dongshe to hold wine. Zhang Zhiwei can only accept this fact. The scenery of the wedding also made up for his psychological loss. The officials in Haizhou who received the invitation were absent. Only six members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee came. This is just Zhang Yi holding a wedding banquet. I can't even imagine that Zhang will get married and hold a banquet in the future. What kind of specifications will it have? Novel chapters are updated the fastest

Shi Bin, Dong Yuehua, and some other backbones are also in the last semester of their senior year. You can put most of your energy on Chuangyu Company. Meng Le and Xi Ruolin left temporarily. Du Fei will not be so anxious that he can't wait to burn his eyebrows.

Come to Montreux. I can work in the northern district for a period of time. Definitely a great opportunity to explore the wild.

When boarding the plane from Hong Kong. It was dusk. The setting sun hangs between tall buildings. The seat design of the first-class cabin is very ingenious. The four seats are tilted towards each other. Form a small meeting area. For the convenience of chatting, Xiao Jincheng introduced the situation of the North American market to Ms. Ruolin and the others.

The Hong Kong Electronics Fair started in October. Jin will focus on developing ip1ayer's market in the northern district. After Kumho successfully digested the flash memory chip manufacturing technology obtained from Toshiba. The cost of the Kumho 32 flash memory chip manufactured by Zhongjing Microchip has dropped from the initial 100 yuan to less than 0 US dollars. Kumho gave all the profit space of cost reduction to dealers.

District agents are like doping. in less than four months. Kumho has established relatively complete channels in the North American region. The monthly sales volume of the ip1ayer produced by Aida in the North American region has also increased from less than one before to over 30,000. Follow up the sales performance of Scoop in North America in August last year.

in the global market.

The sales volume of ip1ayer is not comparable to that of md players, but in the North American market, it has already tightened the nerves of md camp manufacturers.

Since md player technology is always in the hands of Japanese electronics manufacturers, the md camp is also dominated by Japanese manufacturers. This feature led to the promotion of md player in North America and Europe in January 1999. The monthly sales volume of md in North America is less than 300,000 pieces. And ip1ayer. Toshiba and Scooper have successively reached 60,000 and 56,000 pieces. Coupled with the sudden emergence of Samsung. The total monthly shipment of ip1ayer in North America is close to 200,000 pieces. ninety-nine years. At least in North America. It is not delusional for ip1ayer to completely leave md behind.

in North America. Quality is not a decisive factor. Kaichufu - a new high-quality product that meets the fashion needs of the market. It is the magic weapon for winning the market.

If Zhang Ke wants to make some small profits but quick sales in the North American market. The price of an ordinary ip1ayer can quickly drop to less than twenty or thirty dollars within a year. And Zhang Ke's goal. It is hoped that the high-end products of ip1ayer can be sold in the North American market for $500 or even higher. for higher profit margins.

Xi Ruolin looked at the latest 64m ip1ayer with integrated digital radio function in her hand, but she couldn't imagine that such a palm-sized milky white player would cost 600 yuan. This happens to be Aida's best-selling player in North America right now. domestic. A Sony thin walkman with an aluminum body is only five or six hundred yuan. But it is already quite extravagant. Average students want to listen to music. Most of them spend a hundred or ten yuan to buy a non-brand Walkman to make do with it. Except that computers are not popular. Such a high price is also a key factor why it is difficult for the domestic market to accommodate this product.

Such a player. How much does Kumho make? Xi Ruolin asked curiously.

What? Zhang Ke scratched his forehead. The North American market didn't generate any profit at all. Thirty thousand pieces were sold. It just reached the break-even point...

Xi Ruolin wrote the materials. There is a budget for marketing investment in North America in 1999. Tens of millions of dollars will be invested throughout the year of 1999. Celine stuck out her tongue. Calculate it in your heart. Asked: In the monthly sales of only 30,000 pieces. On each product. Isn't it necessary to share the marketing cost of more than 110 US dollars?

High-end 0% or even higher gross profit is not a luxury standard. Zhang Ke said with a smile. The key is to get the market going...

Like another 64m ip1ayer, there is a lack of a digital radio chip in its structure. The price dropped by two hundred dollars. The pick-up price to the dealer is even more different by two hundred and fifty dollars. And the chip cost less than ten dollars to manufacture. This is the profit advantage formed by technology patent monopoly. Whoever makes it possible for only a few companies in the world to integrate digital radio technology into ip1ayer Skober can only buy digital FM chips at a high price from Aida to develop similar high-end products.

Think back to the beginning. Ada bought a decoder chip for a DVD player at a cost of eighty dollars apiece from Skopper, which actually cost less than five dollars. At this time, he took a breath of bad breath.

Not only is the ess experimental base located in the San Jose area near Old Hill. Kumho's North American company and North American product development and design center are located in Jiushan City.

San Francisco International Airport is located about 21 kilometers south of San Francisco. It is the largest commercial airport in California. When boarding the plane from Hong Kong. The sun is setting. Fly for twelve hours. When getting off the plane in San Francisco. Still in the sunset glow to the west of the setting sun. It feels amazing.

Cheng Han and the North American company are responsible for rushing to the airport for Zhang Ke and the others. This is the first time Zhang Luxu has thought of stopping by to take a look after investing nearly three dollars in the ESS Experimental Base. It was also the first time to meet Eric, the president of the North American company. Only talked via video conferencing before. If the meeting goes well at this time. Eric will serve as Vice President of International Marketing, Overseas Operations Department. He will be responsible for the promotion of the Aida brand in the global market.

Just got off the plane. There may be some very good news waiting for you... Cheng Han asked Zhang to get in the car first.

What bad news? Zhang paused for a while... Although Eric was appointed as the president of the North American company. But in order to prove Kumho's control over the independently registered North American company. Cheng Han concurrently serves as the chairman of the North American company.

Let Eric tell you... Han Zhang said.

Focus on us. They came to the teacher's letter. They think our equipment is too simple to lift the restrictions on downloading pirated songbooks. In fact, they condone piracy. Infringe on their intellectual property rights... Eric is said to be I am working hard to learn Chinese. But at this time, we can only communicate in English. It doesn't matter if Zhang Ke and Xiao Jin are in Chengdu. Mengle Xi Ruolin Zhai Danqing's English listening ability is slightly worse. After all, there is no long-term habit of communicating in English. It takes a while to get used to it. Zhang Kewei turned his head and explained to Zhai Danqing that it was the Recording Industry Association of America. It is a traditional record industry giant in the United States.

Although Kumho has launched an online music store that sells music. But once ip1ayer's anti-piracy system is cracked. You can download music on the Internet without spending a penny. This in itself is the biggest advantage of ip1ayer. At the same time, it is the most headache for audiovisual publishers.

They really know how to pick soft persimmons. Zhang Ke smiled. Ask Eric. Have Toshiba, Scooper and Samsung received their lawyer's letter?

Think whether Toshiba Samsung or Skopper. His ip1ayer product technology comes from us. And we collect a certain percentage of patent fees from other ip1ayer manufacturers except Toshiba. He thinks all the problems can be solved once and for all by putting us in the dock.

Zhang Ke spread his hands towards Xi Ruolin at this time. He smiled and said: You may not know. The cost of litigation in the United States is very high. It is not necessary to set the price higher. How do you hire a teacher? Everyone laughed.

To Eric Cheng Hanzhang Xiao Jincheng they said: I am worried about the infringement of intellectual property rights. But to limit the development and progress of technology. It is true that the American courts can only make such judgments blindfolded-since they want to push us to the quilt. Let's ask a team of lawyers to respond to the lawsuit...if it is possible, we can take the lawsuit to the federal court at any cost. He pointed to Meng Le and Xi Ruolin. These are two practical assistants I recommend to you. I hope with your help. They can quickly adapt to the pace of life and work in the United States.
