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

Chapter 71 Honor New Product Launch Conference

At the end of March, Far East Group formally reached an agreement with the Hong Kong government and paid a land exchange fee of HK$6.83 million for a large area of ​​land for Far East Group's headquarters.

Newbikin also announced the use of this land, which will build the headquarters of Far East Group, with a total investment of more than HK$50 billion.

As soon as the news came out, it shocked the entire Hong Kong Island. Not to mention the reporters who were present at the time were shocked and speechless. Even Niubijian did not notice when he left.

By the time these reporters came to their senses and started looking for him, Niubijian didn't know how long he had been gone.

Even the people in Hong Kong who saw the information in the newspapers the next day couldn't believe the news.

What kind of wealth does it cost to build a company headquarters?
Taking all the companies in Hong Kong together, how many have a market value exceeding HK$50 billion? Land's market value is only HK$58 billion.

Now, the Far East Group wants to use the value of a piece of real estate to build such a wasteful headquarters. It is understandable that people do not believe it at first.

However, as more and more details were reported in the conspiracy, and more and more information came out from within the Far East Real Estate Company, the public gradually accepted this fact.

According to the reporter's disclosure, this is not only a group headquarters, but an office park integrating entertainment, dining, shopping and leisure.

For a time, everyone in Hong Kong began to envy the treatment of Far East Group staff.

Is this going to work? Is this fucking going on vacation?
I would like to ask which company's employees can go shopping, shopping, eating, exercising, and watching movies when they are at work?

This also gave Luo Nianzhong a new nickname in Hong Kong, Luo Caishen.

Not only on Hong Kong Island, the news even appeared in major Western newspapers in the next few days, making many people aware of such a group.

Just as the situation at the Far East headquarters was getting more intense, on the last day of March, Honor invited electronics vendors from all over the world to Hong Kong Island to participate in their product launch.

A newly built indoor stadium in Central has changed from the layout of various table tennis and badminton equipment to the current lecture-style exhibition hall.

There is no such thing as a product launch conference yet. Companies around the world go to some international exhibitions to display new products.

Therefore, the person who arranged the exhibition hall had no experience and just followed Luo Nianzhong's requirements.

Compared with those high-end press conferences later, it can be said to be extremely simple.

However, it is simple for Luo Nianzhong, but it seems novel to dealers from all over the world.

They sat in groups in rows, and behind them were journalists from various countries with various shooting equipment, basically all of whom were in the field of science and technology.

The reporters invited by Luo Nianzhong's invitation letter also made many people here put on airs. After all, there are reporters, and they may even be on TV, so some etiquette should be paid attention to.

In a corner of the venue, two middle-aged white men were sitting here talking quietly.

"Hoslater, do you really have no special news? You are one of Glory's largest distributors."

The person in question shook his head, "Like you, I didn't get any information in advance."

This Hoslet is the European dealer where Honor signed its first big deal during the Los Angeles exhibition.

With that cooperation, he successfully monopolized 60% of the sales of Honor arcade machines in Europe, which can be said to be a huge profit.

Regarding the invitation sent by Honor this time, although I don’t know why Honor held such a separate product launch conference, it is still quite innovative.

But he didn't come here with new ideas. He came here just to see what new products Honor had developed and how much benefit these things could bring him.

As for the person who just asked, in fact, strictly speaking, the two of them can be regarded as opponents. They are both dealers in Europe.

However, the other party's business is mainly in Eastern Europe, which is also a weak link in Hoslet's distribution network. There is no plot that the two of them have been separated from each other because of business.

As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the lights in the entire venue dimmed, and only the lights on the booth became brighter and brighter, suddenly turning the chaotic scene into a library, focusing all eyes.

Backstage, Luo Nianzhong arranged his suit with the help of Guan Jiahui. After giving her a satisfied kiss, she walked up to the stage.

The staff on the side turned a blind eye to the behavior of this innocent and charming girl who came with their big boss.

They are afraid of leaving a bad impression on this person who may be the future boss's wife. If they lose this job that others can't envy because of a few more glances, it will be a big loss.

After all, there are plenty of good-looking women, but you may not always find a job that goes your way.

"Cough" Luo Nianzhong walked up to the front desk and attracted everyone's attention.

"Thank you very much for coming to Honor's new product launch. I guarantee that you will leave with satisfaction today."

Luo Nianzhong's opening received warm applause from the audience. After all, we still have to rely on others to make a living, and we all know this about human nature.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Let's take a look at the new arcade game developed by Honor."

After Luo Nianzhong finished speaking, several staff members brought over several arcade machines. In order to facilitate transportation, pulleys were installed under several arcade machines.

These arcade machines were placed front and center in the aisles for the convenience of dealers.

Luo Nianzhong was also helpless. Real-time projection was not possible at all now. We couldn't let ATV use a camera to broadcast the live broadcast, right? It's not troublesome enough, so I can only adopt this slightly ridiculous method.

There are five new games in total, namely Tank Battle, Donkey Kong, Billiards Master, All-Around Games, and Three Kingdoms Showdown.

The first three games are all classic games in history, and the last two are the most satisfying to Luo Nianzhong.

These two games were developed independently by Honor's game design team, and Luo Niazhong didn't provide any ideas.

This reflects the capabilities of the Honor Game Design Department and also shows that Honor Games are on the right path.

All-Around Games and Three Kingdoms are both duel games.

In the All-Around Games, players each operate their own characters and complete a best-of-three game through various sports in the game.

The competition is not fixed, but several sports appear randomly.

The showdown between the Three Kingdoms is a bit like the King of Fighters, but the characters in it are all famous generals from the Three Kingdoms, with a total of 12 characters to choose from.

It's not that I don't want to develop more characters, but the current memory capacity is so large that I can't hold too many things at all.

But what’s interesting is that this Three Kingdoms Showdown game was not developed and designed by Chinese people, but by a few fanatical Three Kingdoms fans from the island countries.

Luo Nianzhong had heard before that people from the island country liked the Three Kingdoms very much. In Glory, he really realized how much they liked it. They were simply fanatical.

Once, when Luo Nianzhong went to Glory, he saw a group of people gathered together to watch the two of them testing the Three Kingdoms Duel that they had just completed.

That passionate roar was hard to associate with their usual performance. Luo Nianzhong was afraid that they would suddenly recite a spell and transform, which would be nothing more than watching the World Cup.

In the venue, the staff had already begun to demonstrate how to play the new game for dealers from all over the world. Many people stood up and even walked behind them.

Time passed quickly in the game world. At the end of 20 minutes, Luo Nianzhong had people carry the arcade machines down, which caused dissatisfaction among some people.

"Everyone, we will give you enough time to experience it in the afternoon, so we will not take up the time of the press conference."

After hearing what Luo Nianzhong said, those people became quiet.

"The next product will open a new chapter in the history of gaming, and that is our latest masterpiece, the Game Boy, a handheld gaming console." As he said that, he picked up the handheld machine that the staff gave him, and there were more staff in the audience who also gave machines to the guests, one for each person.

“We all know that arcade machines cannot be played anytime and anywhere, and home game consoles are more convenient and cannot be carried around.

At this time, it would be much more convenient to have a handheld game machine.

Think about it, on the bus and subway, while waiting for a seat, or even while waiting for your girlfriend, if we can have such a device, then our world will not be lonely."

On the stage, Luo Nianzhong was still explaining eloquently, while in the audience, Huslater looked at the gadget in his hand with excitement on his face.

He believes that as long as the price of this thing is not too expensive, sales will definitely explode.

Not to mention children, even adults cannot stop the charm of games. What a huge market this is.

And he also discovered that the Gameboy's games were not built-in, but on cassettes.

This means that as the number of games increases, it is unimaginable to have a steady stream of game cartridge income alone.

The people present were all veterans, so how could they not think of Hoslet’s idea? As a result, this Gameboy became a new star.

They never thought that the Hong Kong Island cube on this Gameboy was so charming.

Luo Nianzhong gave them time to be curious. After they got started and experienced it for a while, he took a break and took a sip of water. Luo Nianzhong came to the stage again.

"Everyone, the Gameboy in your hands will be given to you as a gift.

Next, our press conference will continue, and the next products are our focus today."

Luo Nianzhong's voice attracted everyone to him again. Yes, the huge, covered billboard at the back has not yet been revealed. This should be Honor's trump card for this conference.

"If Gameboy makes games ubiquitous, then the next product will be a carnival for music lovers."

"This is our latest product of Honor, SST-01 Walkman."

SST means Walkman. From now on, all electronic products of Honor will be named with the first letters of Chinese pinyin. As for you foreigners, you don’t understand the meaning? WDNMD, who cares about you?

In line with Luo Nianzhong's voice, the mystery of the billboard behind him was finally unveiled.

On a huge billboard, against a colorful background, five Walkmans were displayed, corresponding to five colors, namely white, black, red, blue and yellow.

On one side of the five Walkmans, there is a cable that is divided into two. It's a bit like headphones, but people at the scene are not sure.

"In order to make this electronic product more convenient and fashionable, we have also developed a headset specifically for it, which we call an in-ear headset."

Today's headphones are all over-ear headphones, which are not only ugly in style, but also inconvenient to carry, so Luo Nianzhong developed in-ear headphones.

There are no technical difficulties. It is just a matter of changing the drive unit from a moving coil type to a moving iron type. At this stage, the sound quality is definitely incomparable with the moving coil type, but for ordinary people, the sound quality is sufficient. .

If you really want to listen to that kind of professional-grade headphones, there is no need to use any headphones. How can the Walkman be compared with other large-scale playback equipment such as record players?

Luo Nianzhong believes that the power of these two product combinations will definitely make them at the forefront of the fashion industry.

Luo Nianzhong on the stage was arrogantly introducing various data of the product and demonstrating its performance, while the whispers of the people in the audience became louder and louder.

They no longer have much time to listen to Luo Nianzhong's explanation, and they all want to quickly experience the performance of the product for themselves.

As long as they meet their expectations, how to get more goods and take this opportunity to expand their business is what they are considering now.

"Henderson, how about we work together to win the European market." Horselet stared intently at Luo Nianzhong on the stage, or to be precise at the Walkman in his hand, and said to Henderson on the side without turning his head.

“This is impossible, Honor has no precedent of signing an exclusive agent, and I heard that some people have asked, but they have rejected them.

Don’t forget that they are setting up the Honor Mall themselves, and it is impossible to hand over the sales channels to others.”

After thinking about the possibility, Henderson shook his head helplessly.

Doesn't he want to? Judging from the products released by Honor today, they will definitely become the darling of the world.

Even just winning the agency rights in Eastern Europe can take his business to the next level, or even more.

"Who said that only by getting an exclusive agent can we control all the markets?"

"What do you mean?" Henderson turned his head and looked at Horselet, wanting to hear what good ideas he had.

"As long as our order is big enough and they can only produce it for us within a few months, what's the difference between that and getting an exclusive agent?" Hoslett said about his plan.

"Are you crazy? This will tie up all our funds, and we will even need to borrow a large amount of money from the bank. If the sales are not satisfactory, we will be bankrupted." Henderson was so excited that he even roared.

All the eyes of the audience were focused on the Walkman, thinking about their own little thoughts, and no one paid attention to him.

"Don't you have confidence in these products? If we succeed, do you know what it will bring to us?".

Hoslet was very excited. "Isn't this worth your while?"

Henderson's chest heaved at what he said, and he certainly knew what this would bring to them.

If it can succeed and make customers stick, it will completely dominate the Eastern European electronics sales market.

By then, whether it is wealth or fame, he will be able to reach the upper class.

"But don't forget, Honor has product stores in Europe." Henderson still hasn't lost his mind, and Horselet hasn't told him how to solve this problem.

"Then get them on board." Horselet obviously had a detailed plan.

“We can sell part of the company’s shares to them, which will also relieve our financial pressure.

Their stores are mostly concentrated in a few big cities, and our channels are also what they need.

Don’t forget that Honor Mall is not only their own products, we also have many agents.”

After hearing Horselet's plan, Henderson felt that the other party was a ruthless person. He actually dared to introduce outsiders into the family company. Aren't you afraid of attracting wolves into the house and eventually making wedding dresses for others?

He is betting again that Honor’s future products will be as amazing as they are now.

Only in this way can they get the maximum benefit from the dilution of their shares, and they can use this method of bundling interests to quickly grow themselves.

If no one cares about Honor's future products, then Honor will be a vampire crawling on his family's business, enjoying a steady stream of rewards without paying anything.

"This matter is too important, I need to think about it carefully." Henderson still doesn't dare to make a decision now.

"I won't give you too much time. If you can't give me an answer before leaving Hong Kong Island, I will find someone else."

Hoslet gave him an ultimatum and stopped talking and listened intently to Luo Nianzhong's speech.
