Rebirth of the Official Business Route

Toshiba has occupied 40% of the global market within two months of its launch, but the market space of T9 Kumho and Scooper has not been squeezed in the slightest. On the contrary, Toshiba's franchise promotion camp has taken a big step forward. Driven by Toshiba, the volume in the Japanese market increased strongly in September and October.

Similarly, if Kumho's products can successfully enter the European and North American markets at this time, it will also promote the sales of Toshiba and Scooper in this region.

Aimer guessed Kumho's vicious plan, and gritted his teeth to express his inner indignation, but Zhang Ke's appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water also made him quite helpless, it seems that it will really drag on for three or five It will take a month for Kumho to accept Skopper's flash memory order. He said helplessly: Aren't you worried that Toshiba will have an opinion on this?

What opinion does Toshiba have? No wonder they want to depreciate by one-third or more in three months after being sold to users in late August? Zhang Ke smiled and said, I think Toshiba needs more than three months. During the buffer period of five months, we will also communicate with them on this issue, and Skopper will wait patiently for three to five months—we are facing a powerful enemy like Sony together, and good communication is a must.

Aimer shook his head and smiled, and Skober didn't have the initiative, so he could only follow the steps of Kumho and Toshiba. Considering the goodwill carried by the brand, Toshiba would not want the price to drop sharply in a short period of time—— Often when new products come out, it is the best time to discount old products. Toshiba needs a buffer period of three to five months to launch new models. Fiction novel chapters are updated the fastest

At this time, Toshiba, Kumho and Scooper do not have a substantial competitive relationship in the field, and for a long time to come, they will still unite to compete with Sony.

Aimer glanced back, Sony's Watanabe Keiichi and Samsung's Li Zai were dining in another corner of the restaurant, Watanabe Keiichi and Lee Jae also looked at them, probably talking about them.

Aimer put his hands on his knees like a Japanese, and said with pride: Then let us lift Sony off the throne together.

Sony is the real king of the global portable player market. In order to realize the highly creative business idea of ​​putting a music player in your jacket pocket, Sony successfully brought the first cassette player to the market 20 years ago. Listen to market. So far, Sony has sold more than 150 million Walkmans. In the 1990s, the annual sales volume of Sony Walkmans in the global market was 10 million. Although affected by the Asian financial turmoil in 1998, Sony's annual sales volume of Walkmans is expected to be no less than 14 million units, which will bring Sony no less than US$5 billion in sales revenue.

Who will dominate the future portable music player market is still the focus of attention of Toshiba, Scooper and Kumho executives.

Sony should also take action against us this time, right? Aimer asked uncertainly.

We, together with Toshiba, are determined to overthrow Sony from the throne of the global portable music player market. Zhang Ke said with a smile. For such an important segmented market. Of course Sony will not take it lightly...

Zhang Ke doesn't know if Sony will follow the historical track. Maybe there will be some changes because of Kumho. But Sony is such a big thing. Its endogenous inertia force cannot be ignored. The key point is that Sony's audio-visual product department still lacks a strong leader like Okamuraki who dares to betray the tradition\\.

At this time, it is necessary to say that Sony feels threatened by a Chinese electronics company. I'm afraid people in the industry will feel incredible.

two years ago. Keiichi Watanabe, who works in the Sony Components Division. When Sony jointly drove Kumho and Philips out of the machine movement market. Also think it's all because of Philips; as of today. Kumho's technical strength in the fields of optoelectronics and micro-mechanics has extended its production cores to computer optical drive products. certainly. This can also be said to be because Kumho relies on Texas Instruments' technology; but even if Sony is complacent and arrogant. I don't think that Kumho Kaishu will have no impact on the future portable music player market.

To say that Sony has strong confidence in the market of portable music players. The prospect of the floppy drive market. The confidence of Sony's top management was shaken a little.

As the planned standard 1-inch floppy disk drive, Sony announced it, but Kumho officially exhibited instant storage technology at the Russian Electronics Show in June, and Toshiba launched its instant storage product flash disk in late August. Flash drives have the potential to make floppy disks obsolete.

The real-time storage technology launched by Kumho is the same as that of the previous

Different from the first generation of flash drives on the market, after more than two years of full-time TF-ready instant storage technology, it can be directly booted and started under the system, and it is ready to completely eliminate floppy drives in terms of functions. The current disadvantages are probably A price of more than one hundred and sixty dollars prevents the large-scale application of flash drives.

As the vice president of Sony's product development department, Keiichi Watanabe came to Hong Kong to participate in the Electronics Show this time, and he also wanted to have a close contact with Kumho. It is funny to say that Keiichi Watanabe first came into contact with Kumho in San Francisco. A year ago, but if Li Zai hadn't pointed out that the young man sitting opposite to the CEO of Scooper Aimer was the soul behind Kumho's scenes, he really wouldn't have recognized him.

Seeing Aimer looking back, Li Zai smiled slightly, and said to Keiichi Watanabe: Maybe they are still thinking about challenging Sony's position in the portable player market...

Keiichi Watanabe also smiled slightly, and did not respond to Li Zai's words. As a senior executive of Sony's product development department, he should have a correct assessment of the forward-looking market. Who will benefit more from the technology exchange: Kumho needs Toshiba’s flash memory technology to improve its industrial chain, and Toshiba needs Kumho’s product technology to restore its declining market position.

After the meal, Li Zai saw Zhang Ke and Aimer sitting there having a good conversation. He and Jin Nanyong bid farewell to Watanabe Jingyi and left the restaurant. There was no one else in Nuo Da’s elevator, and Li Zai asked Jin Nanyong, “Is it appropriate for me to suggest that the headquarters acquire Shiyu Electronics at this time?”

Shiyu Electronics is a little-known Korean electronics company, but Shiyu Electronics obtained Kumho's product technology authorization in mid-August.

If Samsung wants to obtain high-end technology, it must either directly obtain authorization from Kumho, or acquire companies that have already obtained authorization from Kumho.

Jin Nanyong was thinking: what is the difference between the two, maybe you don't have to worry about Kumho's hype and Samsung are also subdued by their skills?

Jin Nanyong nodded and said, I think it is better to join the camp sooner rather than later. It is in the interests of Samsung Electronics. Otherwise, Samsung's interests in the future flash memory chip market may be jointly squeezed by Toshiba and Kumho.

Li Zai nodded and said, I've decided, you draft a formal report for me, and I plan to hand this report directly to the president...

Although Samsung Electronics also produces and sells MD Walkmans, the core interests of MD are always in the hands of Japanese electronics manufacturers led by Sony.

Although Samsung has to pay patent fees to Kumho after joining the camp, the interests of the future flash memory chip market cannot be ignored by Samsung.

Aimer also said goodbye and left the restaurant first. Zhang Ke accompanied Tang to order coffee in the restaurant, admiring the beautiful night view of Victoria Bay through the thick glass curtain wall. He didn't know that Samsung was about to defect and join the camp.

Drinking coffee with a beautiful woman on such a beautiful day is enjoyable, but the mobile phone placed on the corner of the table vibrates unwittingly, which is quite amorous.

Zhang Ke picked up the phone and looked at it, and said to Tang: Su Jindong's call...is really a headache, why don't you just ignore him?

Actually, I really like to see the way you talk about things. Although you are a bit rascal, you are very masculine. Tang didn't mind smiling, and put his chin in his hand to concentrate on staring at Zhang Yan's phone. Others can't Gives me this feeling...

Zhai Danqing walked into the restaurant to pick them up later when Zhang Yan made the phone call.

Mr. Su met Zhang Yaping from Philips, and Mr. Ding was there too. I hope you can take the time to go there.

What? Zhang Ke stood up, and in front of Zhai Danqing, he didn't hug Tang's shoulder very affectionately.

Mr. Chen went to Deyi's banquet, and he hasn't returned to the hotel yet. Standing in front of Zhang Ke and Tang, Zhai Danqing, no matter how strong his heart is, will feel confused, but there are still things to do at work, and he can't find him. An excuse not to come to Hong Kong together.

let's go down. Zhang helped Tang take the coat from the waiter and handed it to her to put on.

Zhang Yaping, president of the greater China region of Philips Components Department, is an old friend of Kumho. Four years ago, the Philips Shanghai factory managed by Zhang Yaping controlled the movement market for disc players. Only Kumho obtains sufficient movement supply from Philips' Shanghai factory, which is a key factor for Kumho to establish its dominance in the disc player market in one fell swoop.

If someone from the outside world helped Kumho the most, Zhang Yaping must be counted as one. The key is that the employment contract between Zhang Yaping and Philips will expire in another month.
