Chapter 193： The end of the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition

March 10, 1979, Los Angeles Convention Center, California, USA. Today is the last day of the exhibition, and the main committee sees that every time an exhibitor's sales are reported, it can drive a huge impact and visibility. It may not be as influential as the old-fashioned exhibitions in other places, but as a superpower, even the achievements of West Germany and RB's younger brothers are not comparable, which is a bit shameful.

This time, we will not only give a briefing, but also give a briefing in the form of a press conference. To let the world see the influence of the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition, but also to reflect the importance of the main committee to exhibitors. After all, these are large multinational companies, and there will be more opportunities for future cooperation.

As the most dazzling star enterprise of the Black Cloud Group, Bao Zixuan will definitely be at the press conference. And will be in the middle.

In addition to the chairman of the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition, there were also representatives of Heiyun Bao Zixuan, Sony Akio Morita, rca and Germany's Siemens on the podium.

In fact, this is also the company with the most turnover in this exhibition, and it is also a representative of developed countries in economy and technology. From RB, the United States, West Germany and Hong Kong, many people will associate Hong Kong with the United Kingdom, and there is no way to do it now. After all, Xiangjiang has not returned, and Chinese enterprises will not participate in such exhibitions.

Rodell, president of the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition, said to everyone: "Thank you to all exhibitors, media friends, and all friends who came to participate in the exhibition for their support and love for the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition. On behalf of all the staff of this exhibition, I am grateful to You apologize, maybe we still have a lot of work to do, I hope you will forgive me. But I believe that we will make the exhibition better and better, and I hope you will give us more opportunities. At the same time, I hope that this time next year, we will be able to meet with you in Los Angeles this time. You meet."

"208 companies were invited to participate in this exhibition, and the number of visitors reached an unprecedented 450,000 people. This is inseparable from the support of everyone here."

"The on-site turnover of the show was US$10.4 billion, which is also a record high. This is mainly due to the hard work of various exhibitors. It is because of their excellent products that agents and consumers will come to Los Angeles. Electronic Technology Exhibition."

"Beside me are the heads of the four largest companies in this exhibition, they are Mr. Akio Morita, president of RB Sony Corporation, Peter-von-Siemens, president of Germany's Siemens, Mr. Rodeck, president of rca in the United States, and Black Mr. Bao Zixuan, Chairman of Cloud Group."

"As for their achievements, let them introduce themselves. Next, Mr. Akio Morita, President of RB Sony Corporation, will introduce Sony's achievements in this exhibition."

In fact, all four of them received a notice before the press conference. The press conference included an introduction to the company's sales and reporters' question-and-answer sessions. To put it bluntly, let the four people have a psychological preparation. In case of embarrassment on the stage, it is not only myself, it is likely to affect the company, and even the main committee of the exhibition will be implicated.

Fortunately, the 4 of them have seen the big scene, so they are not nervous about this kind of press conference.

Akio Morita: "Thank you for your concern and love for Sony. Sony has achieved a total of 340 million US dollars in sales at the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition, the most important of which is music products. We have a natural advantage in this regard. Thank you for your support. Detailed report It will be announced at the Sony shareholder meeting."

Everyone did not expect Sony to sell so many, and it is indeed worthy of the name of a big company. No wonder people say that the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse. With the rise of the black cloud, Sony is already at a disadvantage in the competition. But even at a disadvantaged point in time, they can still sell 340 million US dollars at an exhibition, but they are not even a fraction of others. There is still a long way to go to develop, which is what many people think.

Then Peter-von-Siemens said into the microphone: "Siemens' sales at this exhibition is 280 million US dollars, mainly refrigerators, servo motors and other products. Siemens products are absolutely trustworthy in this regard."

Everyone's expressions were better. After all, Siemens' sales can only be said to be quite satisfactory. This is mainly due to the strength of the competitor Panasonic. The competition between the two companies in refrigerator sales is very fierce.

Rodeck, president of rca, said: "The sales of rca at this exhibition were US$230 million, mainly on TV sets and night-view monitors. These are rca's traditional projects. In the future, we will definitely strengthen the technology of traditional projects. In terms of advantages, we can develop more products that consumers like.”

After hearing Rodeck's introduction, everyone thought that this exhibition was introduced in order of sales, but it shouldn't! Heiyun is definitely the most popular company in this exhibition, it can't be lower than Sony!

Bao Zixuan said into the microphone: "I just got the sales data. Just 10 minutes ago, there were customers in the exhibition hall negotiating business. There may be some deviations, but the overall impact is not big."

The sales of Black Cloud Group at this exhibition were US$1.12 billion, mainly focusing on digital cameras, home game consoles fc red and white machines, arcade Super Mario and Vision 1200 laptops. It can be said that it is more blooming, which is mainly due to the perfect organization of the exhibition and the recognition of buyers. Thank you again here. "

After hearing Bao Zixuan's words, many people were surprised. Even the other 4 people on the podium were like this. They all knew that the sales of Black Dollars were good, but they didn't expect the sales to exceed 1 billion US dollars. This was the 1980s. Many countries do not have so much foreign exchange reserves.

After Bao Zixuan got the data, he couldn't believe it, but after seeing orders, checks, and contracts, he could only believe it.

The most sold this time was the FC red and white machine, which reached 9 million units. It can be said that many national distributors have placed orders with Heiyun. The sales of this alone have reached more than 500 million US dollars, which is why the later RB game companies are very rich. The profit of the game is too high, and the development of a classic game console is no less profitable than the development of a classic aircraft. This is a money-printing machine, at least for the lifetime of the console.

After entering the reporter's question and festival, everyone wanted to ask Bao Zixuan a question But at this time, beautiful women always have a natural advantage, a beautiful reporter from the Wall Street Journal asked: "Mr. Bao, may I ask you to report Is the data real, it's hard to believe what the future black cloud plan is."

Bao Zixuan: "The data is of course true and reliable. After all, all contracts have been reported to the exhibition organizing committee. As for the future plan of Heiyun you asked about, what I can tell you is that Heiyun will focus on improving technological progress in the future. Kung Fu. My dream is to be one of the greatest tech companies in the world, and I’m an engineer-type boss myself, and sometimes I might do things that are more technologically valuable than economical.”

An RB reporter asked: "Mr. Akio Morita, Sony has licensed many of Heiyun's products now. Will Sony copy Heiyun or improve its own research and development."

Akio Morita: "Sony has a highly skilled scientific research team, and we can develop many products. We just didn't expect it, but the research and development was completed by Heiyun Rescue, and the patent was registered. Sony is a company that supports intellectual property rights very much. should be protected."

"That's why Sony buys patent licenses from Heiyun, but please rest assured. Sony will definitely develop products that are different from Heiyun. Buying patents is just for an admission, there's no need to run behind others."

"Sony already has its own plans for the patents it has purchased, and will need your support when the products are launched in the future. Thank you again for coming. At the same time, I also thank this journalist friend for your concern for Sony. I assure you that Sony will not disappoint you."

The Q&A at the exhibition ended quickly, but the influence of the exhibition spread all over the world. This also laid the foundation for the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition to become the world's first electronic product exhibition.
