Chapter 299 Thirty Years in Hedong

Daniel looked at the newspaper in his hand and felt a headache. He didn't know why the Silver Sable Mouse and the parent company behind it, Tanglin Hi-Tech, had so much work.

What is the mouse used for? Its original intention was to assist computers in office work. But now, for the first time, the Silver Sable mouse has linked it with industries other than office work, making the mouse play an important role in so many years of history. , became one of the professional supporting tools for video games for the first time!

This kind of linkage is simply a crooked way for the conservatives in the mouse industry. It would be treason to use a good mouse not for office work but for playing games.

But the effect of this treachery is somewhat unexpected. Silver Sable Mouse has been unable to open up the situation in old Europe before.

Even though the Silver Sable optical mouse has been claiming that it is the world's first optical mouse and its performance surpasses that of a mechanical mouse, no one cares. After all, just by talking about it, one cannot see the real difference between the two.

Daniel was preparing to fly to the mainland and wanted to obtain the patent authorization for the optical mouse from Dongling Hi-Tech, relying on this confidence.

After all, the Silver Sable optical mouse couldn't be sold in old Europe, and users didn't buy it at all. Logitech came forward to buy the patent of the Silver Sable optical mouse, and it could bring some blood back to Silver Sable...

The abacus was pretty good, but unexpectedly, Silver Sable actually connected the mouse and the game for the first time, and the effect was unexpectedly good. A Quake game was directly seen by old European users. The performance of Silver Sable made Silver Sable optical mice become popular in old Europe!
Eighty-seven thousand units of the Silver Sable optical mouse were sold in a single day, setting a record for the highest single-day sales in the European mouse industry.

If it was just a hot seller, it wouldn't be enough to worry Daniel. However, this time the Silver Sable optical mouse was sought after by users. What made him uneasy was that some users began to characterize Silver Sable as a "high-end" mouse!
The reason given by users for this set of rankings is that whether they use mice from third-party brands such as Logitech, Microsoft, Sakura, Avago, Philips, etc., or original mice from HP, Dell, Compaq, and IBM, they are playing Thor. When playing Hammer and other games, the experience is not as good as that of Silver Sable Optical Mouse. Doesn’t this explain the high-end performance of Silver Sable Optical Mouse? !

Not only Logitech, but also other mouse brands are basically like this. They are all studying the mechanical mouse set proposed by Silver Sable.

Throwing down the newspaper in his hand, Daniel sighed. Before Tanglin High-tech launched the Silver Sable, Logitech was undoubtedly the leader in the mouse industry. Even the aggressive Microsoft mouse could not challenge Logitech.

Before the emergence of the Silver Sable mouse, the mouse industry was, at best, a hundred flowers blooming. At worst, what kind of mouse users could use depended entirely on the imagination of designers. There were various appearance mice in square, round, and irregular shapes. , can all be seen on the market.

But now, the second-generation optical mouse wave started by Silver Sable is starting to rise again. Daniel is unwilling to admit that Silver Sable is leading the trend of the global mouse industry, but this kind of thing is happening right in front of him.

But now, Logitech, which has higher sales, seems to be at a disadvantage. The first-generation Silver Sable mouse proposed a completely new concept in the mouse industry. The mechanical Silver Sable, ergonomics, and wheel mouse have completely subverted the entire mouse industry.

Looking outside the airport terminal, Daniel didn't know the sales volume of Silver Sable Mouse in Europe today, but he had a hunch that the sales volume would probably reach an astonishing figure.

Silver Sable, which is not very famous in the world in terms of sales volume and reputation, is becoming a benchmark in the global mouse industry. Whether it is third-party mouse brands such as Logitech or HP and Dell's own factory mice, they are all imitating Silver Sable. The mink mice, of course they would not admit this, but Daniel himself knew that this was the fact!
In the past two years, Logitech has almost completely reaped the dividends of the ergonomic mouse, mechanical mouse, and wheel mouse introduced by Silver Sable, and has made a lot of money.

Daniel knew that this trip to the mainland would not be easy. Logitech was certainly not the only company that wanted to obtain the optical mouse patent from Silver Sable, but Logitech was the one that needed the optical mouse patent the most.

Because we haven’t developed an optical mouse at all, it’s not that easy to transform from a mechanical mouse to an optical mouse. If we can get the optical mouse patent from Silver Sable, it will take Logitech at least half a year to fully understand all the technology and then develop Logitech’s unique features. Logitech cannot afford to carry the reputation of an optical mouse as a copycat. Once it does, the Logitech brand will be completely ruined.

But who would have known that Yin Sable, the sixth child, had no martial ethics and was only responsible for digging pits, but not burying them. He came up with the concept of a mechanical mouse, but he "secretly" built an optical mouse, and then Logitech and others dropped it. In a pit.

After the first-generation Silver Sable mechanical mouse was released, in less than a year or two, the mice on the market began to look like the Silver Sable mouse. That kind of strange mouse began to disappear on the market. .

But since the appearance of the Silver Sable mouse, everything has changed. Logitech's halo has begun to be taken away by Silver Sable. Even though Logitech's mouse sales and revenue are still far higher than Silver Sable, after all, Silver Sable can only be sold in mainland China. The mobile phone can be sold by Logitech all over the world.

When the Silver Sable mouse began to be listed separately by users to distinguish it from other mouse brands, and when users regarded the Silver Sable mouse as a high-end brand, Daniel was a little worried, even afraid!
If the Silver Sable mouse really becomes a high-end brand in the mouse industry, when game enthusiasts or users who have requirements for a mouse want a high-end mouse with high performance and quality, they will be the first to think of it. It's Silver Sable, so what's the deal with Logitech and their brands?

If we can't get a patent, it will be a disaster for Logitech.

The most important thing is that now, the bonus period of the mechanical mouse seems to be over. Logitech, a self-proclaimed master of the mechanical mouse industry, met Silver Sable, the "master", but found that the apprentice still can't beat the master!

Thinking of the trip to Hanxi in Mainland China, Daniel felt dizzy for a while. He didn't know how much Logitech would pay this time. He just hoped that he wouldn't be cut off by the silver mink, which was too harsh. …

"Silver Sable Optical Mouse is ushering in an explosion in the European and American markets!"

"In the light of domestic products, Silver Sable's overseas sales exceeded 190,000 units in a single day. Adding in the single-day sales in Greater China, the global daily sales of Silver Sable mouse exceeded 240,000 units, and its single-day revenue exceeded 360,000 units. Ten thousand U.S. dollars!"

"The British Guardian claimed that the Silver Sable optical mouse has created a new mouse trend after the mechanical mouse. The Silver Sable mouse is leading the global mouse trend!"

"A source revealed that Silver Sable Mouse Company is in the process of reaching an agreement with relevant mainland departments to hold the first Quake game competition in mainland China.

This is currently the most popular team shooting video game overseas. According to rumors, the prize money for this overseas competition is as high as 50,000 US dollars. It is not clear whether the competition is currently held in China and whether it will compete with foreign teams in the finals! "

Domestic media kept digging for news from Hanxi, and also focused on reports from overseas media. As long as the news related to Silver Sable and Shenzhou USB flash drive, it was quickly reprinted in domestic newspapers.

Because these news are really popular, as long as newspapers report news about these two products, they don't have to worry about selling. Sometimes, all the printed copies are sold out.

In this era when domestic foreign goods are rampant, it is not unusual for future generations to see Silver Sable mice and Shenzhou USB flash drives selling well in foreign territories and being sought after by foreign users. But for countless people in China now, these news, It can boost people's hearts and let the Chinese people know that domestic products can still sell well overseas, and Hualiu also exists!
……

"What's going on with that Quake game competition?"

The Yanjing Foreign Exchange Department is not the most eye-catching among the departments in Yanjing, but as long as it involves foreign trade companies and those using foreign exchange in China, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, when it comes to the Foreign Exchange Department, which one My heart does not tremble.

The fate of countless domestic companies is actually determined by the Foreign Exchange Department. It can allow a company to obtain enough foreign exchange to purchase technology, equipment, and parts from overseas, bringing the company back to life and becoming an industry leader. , or the foreign exchange quota can be stuck, forcing the company to be dragged into bankruptcy.

"Bureau Pei!"

He Heng, who had been to the Foreign Exchange Department in Hanxi many times, placed a cup of tea in front of his immediate boss, who was obviously in a good mood.

"I asked Tanglin Hi-Tech. This is a game created by Americans. This game can bring out the performance of the Silver Sable optical mouse, which is why the Silver Sable mouse is so popular overseas.

Fortunately, there is this game, otherwise the mainland would have lost another product that can earn foreign exchange! "

He Heng said with a smile that the Foreign Exchange Department always favors domestic companies that can earn foreign exchange. The Silver Sable Optical Mouse can earn US$3.6 million in revenue overseas in one day.

What is this concept? In one month, Silver Sable Mouse can earn a small goal from overseas, a small goal calculated in US dollars!
If we calculate it in one year, then in theory, the Silver Sable Mouse alone can earn over one billion US dollars in foreign exchange in one year.

Of course, this is basically a theory. The reality is that if after this period of time, the sales of the Silver Sable mouse remain at half or even one-third of the current level, it will be very popular, and the annual revenue will be one-third of a billion US dollars. One or a quarter, He Heng and the people in the Foreign Exchange Department can laugh out loud when they sleep at night.

For He Heng and the Foreign Exchange Department, there are really too many companies that spend foreign exchange. As soon as they come to the Foreign Exchange Department office building every day and open the door, there are big projects everywhere with various development and reform approvals. , Big manufacturers in various places are asking for foreign exchange, and they want to use foreign exchange to buy foreign equipment.

But the key point is that the Foreign Exchange Department is in charge of foreign exchange, but it cannot print dollars by itself. How could He Heng find so many dollars to meet so many large projects? As for outsiders, he is among the major departments and units in Yanjing. He Heng didn't object to the one with the stinkiest face. If someone else sat in his seat, his face would probably be even stinkier than his.

But this stinky face refers to those companies that reach out and ask He Heng for dollars to spend. For companies that can make dollars, ask Dongling Hi-Tech. What kind of face does He Heng have every time he goes there? The wrinkles on his face appear every time. I could laugh out loud when I was at Tanglin Hi-Tech.
