Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Chapter 47 Los Angeles Trade Fair (1)

October 18, 1977.

Lin Baicheng came to Los Angeles with Miyamoto Soo, bodyguards and others on this day.

The person who came to pick him up at the airport was Eric Davis from the branch here, a middle-aged man in his thirties who had been working in sales before. The person in charge of the American side was recruited by Lin Baicheng through a headhunting company. As for the former person in charge, Lin Baicheng was fired more than half a month ago.

"BOSS!"

This was not the first time Eric Davis and Lin Baicheng met. He had been to Xiangjiang once.

Lin Baicheng nodded and glanced at the two people behind Eric Davis, guessing that they were newly recruited employees.

When the group of people left the airport, Eric Davis and the others drove over in three cars, so Lin Baicheng and his group could sit down completely.

Lin Baicheng and others settled in a hotel not far from the branch office. Although Lin Baicheng was considered a wealthy man now, he did not spend too much money to stay in a luxury hotel like Hilton. It's too early for him to enjoy this now.

Although he had to take a jet lag and rest, Lin Baicheng still left Eric Davis to talk.

"Eric, how are you doing with the preliminary preparations I asked you to do?"

There were only two people in the hotel room, Lin Baicheng and Eric Davis. After this period of surprise training, Lin Baicheng, who already had a good foundation in English, could now communicate in English on a daily basis, as long as he did not speak awkward words.

"Everything is done, BOSS!"

Eric Davis responded and said: "At your request, I have recruited twenty employees for the company and trained them. They now all understand "Xiangjiang Cubes" and "Eating" The features, gameplay, prices, market competitiveness, etc. of these two games. I believe they will not disappoint you on the day of the trade fair the day after tomorrow."

"Very good, well done."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but nodded in approval when he heard this. He was indeed a talent that he had specially recruited from a headhunter, and he was worthy of the high price he paid. Of course, the premise of all this is that Eric Davis did not lie, but he believed that Eric Davis would not lie about this kind of thing, because everything will be revealed the day after tomorrow, Eric Dai There was no point in Wes lying now.

Eric Davis continued: "The twenty "Pac-Man" arcade machines that you airlifted over a week ago were temporarily sent to Phil Trading Company at your request after our employees became familiar with them. I have also contacted Mr. Phil Smith, and we will go to his company to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow. We will also borrow 20 "Hong Kong Cube" arcade machines and send them to the exhibition together."

"Originally, I wanted to recruit people for trucks and porters from outside, but Mr. Phil Smith said that I could borrow the manpower from his company, so I can just use the manpower from Phil Trading Company. But if you don't want to trouble Phil, Mr. Smith, I can go find the truck and movers right away."

"No, since Mr. Smith said to use people from his company, then let's use people from his company."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand and did not refuse Phil Smith's kindness. This time he came to attend the Los Angeles trade fair and told Phil Smith beforehand that when Phil Smith learned that the game "Xiangjiang Cube" would appear at the trade fair, he would certainly not refuse such a good thing. After all, he had already won With the exclusive rights for the entire North America, the more popular the game is, the more money he can make.

Therefore, Phil Smith was very cooperative. Not only did he agree to borrow twenty arcade machines for use at the trade fair, but he also said that he would also go to the trade fair to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Lin Baicheng asked: "Eric, do you have any ideas on how to promote our products at this exhibition?"

"BOSS, there are all kinds of industries at the Los Angeles trade show, but we are a game company, so our competitors are also game companies in the same industry."

“Although our Galaxy Game Company’s Xiangjiang Cube is selling very well in the East, it has only just been launched in the United States, so not many people know about this game, let alone our Galaxy Game Company.”

"It is precisely because of this, in order to better promote our game, I think so."

"We can hire some game enthusiasts from Los Angeles who often hang out in arcades and ask them to come to our booth to play games on the day of the trade show. In order to avoid being caught by other game companies, I think we just need to ask them to play games. Okay, it’s best not to let them praise the game, otherwise it will be very detrimental to us once it is exposed.”

"Once the game is really well received, it will definitely attract the attention of some tourists, whether it is international agents or individual game enthusiasts. As long as someone pays attention to our game, it is a victory for us."

"but."

Speaking of this, Eric Davis was a little hesitant, but still said: "The premise of all this is that the game will be well received. Once our game cannot satisfy people, it will be a huge blow to our sales. Follow-up Sales will be tougher."

"You don't have to worry about the quality of the game. I believe people will like the game we develop."

Lin Baicheng smiled and said with approval: "Eric, just do as you say. Your method should be the most suitable for us."

"Yes, BOSS!"

Eric Davis heard the words and agreed, feeling happy that his proposal was adopted.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng discussed some details of the exhibition with Eric Davis, and then asked Eric Davis to go back first.

After sitting down on the plane for more than ten hours, Lin Baicheng was a little tired. He was also jet-lagged and preparing for the trade fair the day after tomorrow. He really needed a good rest.

The next day, Phil Smith came to see Lin Baicheng. This time it was him, the landlord, who entertained Lin Baicheng.

Because he had to attend a trade show the next day, Phil Smith did not take Lin Baicheng to go to a fancy place. Instead, he took Lin Baicheng to visit some famous attractions, and Hollywood is the business card of Los Angeles.

When visiting attractions such as the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Universal Studios, Lin Baicheng thought of the American entertainment industry and the entertainment industry in Hong Kong. He was also very familiar with the entertainment industry of this era.

If the familiarity with games of this era is based on the major Lin Baicheng studied in his previous life, then the familiarity with the entertainment industry is based on the Hong Kong entertainment novels he wrote before his rebirth.

Those who write about Hong Kong entertainment must not avoid Hollywood in this era, so Lin Baicheng is very familiar with the entertainment circles of both countries.

The entertainment industry is not only a profitable industry, but also an important publicity channel, and there are many beauties. Of course Lin Baicheng will enter this industry. But now is not the time. When he has more capital, it will be time to enter this industry.
