Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 161: Technology Exhibition

Henry got back the design drawings of the Burj Al Arab hotel, and planned to build a Burj Al Arab hotel on Malibu Beach on the west coast of California! Malibu is located in the northwest of Los Angeles, adjacent to Hollywood. The coastline stretches 21 miles, the scenery is magnificent, and it has the most beautiful sea view in the world, making it an excellent holiday destination for celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life. Historically, it was the territory of indigenous Indian tribes. "Malibu" in Indian means "roaring beach", so it is also a paradise for surfers! !

In addition, as far as Henry knows, the man's house in the movie "Iron Man" is located in Malibu! Thousands of mansions here can be said to be everywhere! Henry is building a seven-star hotel here, just to attract the rich! !

However, this matter is not in a hurry, because Henry is already very busy.

The bidding for the design of the Williams Center has already begun. Henry is discussing with his own company how to build the company headquarters and connect all the headquarters, and each company's headquarters building is different, so it must be very recognizable. And unique and simple, it has become the logo of the company. Everyone knows what company this building belongs to at a glance!

Each company’s requirements for the headquarters building will finally be summarized on Henry’s side, and Henry will personally review and modify them according to his own ideas, and then tell the design company the requirements, and the design company will design according to the requirements. Henry thinks If you are satisfied, you will use it!

First of all, Henry felt that with the Williams laboratory as the center, the stars and the moon all formed a multi-layer ring shape, and each building was not connected to each other in order to maintain its independence. But both will build a glass channel to connect to the Williams laboratory.

The streets formed between the circles are Commercial Street and Chuangye Street!

Outside of this circle, hospitals will be built. Hotels, supermarkets, etc. Together, these will form the Williams Center!

Henry predicted that he would have to build at least forty headquarters buildings, both large and small, with distinct levels, at least more than twice as many as the 19 buildings in Rockefeller Center, and so many buildings stand above the Williams Center. Spectacular! !

The general idea, Henry has already thought about what the concrete will be built into. It depends on the level of the designer!

Henry then announced the request. The major design companies around the world have red eyes, and they have sent the most powerful designers to design, and many companies even turned away other design work and went all out...

During this period, the Cisco certification exam began. Henry paid special attention to it and reminded the employees to strengthen the crackdown on cheating to prevent the occurrence of cheating! After that, Henry represented the Silicon Valley Electronics Group to participate in the American Electronic Technology Exhibition held in Los Angeles!

This technology exhibition will be held in the hotel lobby. Every company has an opportunity to showcase their company's products on stage! Later, there will be judges to rate the displayed products.

Henry's sudden arrival immediately made the people who came to participate in the science and technology exhibition boiled with enthusiasm!

"Mr. Henry Williams, I am very glad to meet you. You are very welcome to participate in the Los Angeles American Electronic Technology Exhibition!" The chairman of the organizer brought three or four people to the front and greeted Henry.

"Hello!" Henry nodded and greeted them simply. Not much to chat, and then went to the seat where Silicon Valley Electronics Group is located.

Sit behind. Henry found a group of Asian faces sitting in a row on the right.

Henry turned his head to ask Harrison, CEO of Silicon Valley Electronics Group, who was sitting next to him, "Which country are those people from?"

"Japan." Harrison added, "it seems to be a representative of Sony!"

"Sony?" Henry murmured to himself, suddenly laughing again after thinking of something.

At this time, the science and technology exhibition has already begun.

Each company has ten minutes to explain its own products. The product that Silicon Valley Electronics Group will show this time is a micro hard drive, which will be the smallest hard drive in the world, only 1 inch! !

The display of the previous companies on the stage was not very impressive. After an hour, it was finally the turn of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group.

Henry walked to the stage with the micro hard drive!

"Hello everyone, this time, on behalf of Silicon Valley Electronics Group, I will introduce to you a new product developed by our company! This product will surely shock you, why do you say that?" Henry paused intentionally, his eyes swept off the stage After a lap, he said loudly: "Just because it broke the world record..."

With that said, Henry took out the micro hard drive and held it in front of him. He smiled and said, "Do you think this thing is a bit familiar?"

"Yes, it will certainly make you familiar, because it is the hard drive you are familiar with!!"

As soon as Henry finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience, and there was a lot of discussion.

"How is it possible? How can the hard disk be so small?!"

"Yeah, it's too small!"

"What did Silicon Valley Electronics Group do to make the hard disk so small!!"

"..."

Henry gestured for everyone to be quiet. Later, he preached: "This hard disk is only 1 inch large, but its storage capacity has reached 50MB! In our company, this very small hard disk can be defined as a micro hard disk. The micro hard disk is smaller, but the storage capacity is more than that of the memory. , The flash card is bigger, very suitable for cameras, mobile phones and other small electronic products, it must have a great market competitive advantage!! Here, I will tell you a little bit, on May 1st, Silicon Valley Electronics Group will use The micro hard drive has made an innovative electronic product! Once the electronic product is released, it will definitely change the way of life of mankind!"

"Definitely!" Henry said at the end, emphasizing with certainty.

Then Henry walked down the stage calmly with a smile on his face.

The major companies in the audience were shocked by the micro hard drive for a while. It can be said that the Silicon Valley Electronics Group made a big splash at this technology exhibition. It is conceivable that the front page news of the next day will inevitably be the Silicon Valley Electronics Group's micro hard drive. ! !

Some are happy and some are sad.

Japanese companies hate Silicon Valley Electronics Group to death, not only digging out a lot of their talents, but also with them in the hard disk. Memory, LCD screens and other products are grabbing business. Leading to a substantial decline in company performance. Now, Silicon Valley Electronics Group actually launched a micro hard drive. After all the limelight, the company's reputation has greatly increased, and it will become more difficult to deal with in the future!

When Henry returned to his seat, some Sony representatives on the right snorted dissatisfied, showing provocative eyes.

At this time, the host announced that Sony representatives would be invited to show the products on stage. The Sony representative stood up with a proud face, and made a thumbs-down gesture to Henry, the meaning is obvious. It's "Yours, no! Mine, it's great!"

Cao, you still despise me? When Lao Tzu's MP3 comes out, your Sony Walkman will play like a dog! !

A sneer and sneer flashed across Henry's face.

After the Sony representative took the stage, he looked proud and said to everyone in the audience: "Hello everyone, my name is Ichiro Yamada. The product of our Sony company this time to participate in the Electronic Technology Exhibition is the latest Sony Walkman-Min. Abbreviated as MD, we use magneto-optical discs as storage media. After three years of research and development, we at Sony finally used traditional magnetic disk technology and modern optical technology to combine to create magneto-optical discs. The sound quality of this kind of magneto-optical discs is very good. Close to the CD, but the Min Walkman is smaller than the CD Walkman, and there will be no music pauses during exercise!!"

"Therefore. Our Sony Min Walkman will be the best one at the moment!!"

Sony representative Ichiro Yamada smiled unconsciously after speaking.

at this time. Many companies in the audience couldn't help being moved and shocked by Min, and secretly said. Sony is really awesome, others are still using CDs, it actually uses magneto-optical discs...

After enjoying enough vanity, the Sony representative announced loudly: "Our Min Walkman will be officially released on May 1, and the price per unit is only 500 US dollars!!"

When Henry saw this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It’s so good, it’s the same day as the MP3 release, so I don’t know how the dead words are written! ! If you sell it for $500, the Silicon Valley Electronics Group’s MP3 will sell for $499. Not only does it disgustingly kill Sony, but it also robs its users! !

"In the U.S., MP3 will be a mess for Min's player to lose!"

At this time, Sony's representative Yamada Ichiro walked down, and when he passed Henry, he gave a triumphant glance!

Henry shook his head and laughed, and Silicon Valley Electronics Group CEO Harrison also laughed.

Harrison smiled at Henry: "Chairman, I think, on May 1st, Sony's face will be very ‘exciting’!"

"It needs to be said," Henry said, "absolutely wonderful..."

Harrison and Henry looked at each other and couldn't help laughing!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the science and technology exhibition ended, and the judges' ratings came out.

The micro hard drive scored 10 points, ranking first; Min Walkman scored 9 points, second...

After receiving the award and leaving the hotel, someone came over to contact Henry.

"Hello, Mr. Henry Williams, I am Johnny Edie, a director of Kodak Company!"

"Hello, Mr. Johnny Edy!" Hearing that he was a director of Kodak, Henry felt bright and understood what he was looking for.

"Mr. Williams, I just saw your Silicon Valley Electronics Group's micro hard drive at the technology exhibition. I think it is very good. As you said, it is very suitable for camera products. Therefore, our Kodak company wants to cooperate with Silicon Valley Electronics Group. , Launch a digital hard disk camera!"

"Yeah! This is okay, or else, find a place, let's talk about it in detail!" Henry laughed.

"Of course it is!" Johnny Edie nodded.

Then the two joined Silicon Valley Electronics Group CEO Harrison at a nearby high-end hotel, while ordering meals and discussing business.

Henry introduced: "At present, our micro-drives are limited in production and expensive to build. Therefore, if Kodak wants to buy, we can only provide 10,000 micro-drives per month, and the price of each micro-drive is 200. US dollars!"

Johnny Edie frowned and said, "Let's not talk about the output, but the price is a bit expensive. Mr. Williams, you see, the micro hard drive is so small, how can it not cost 200 US dollars..."

"Mr. Johnny Edy, maybe you didn't understand it. It is because the micro hard disk is small that it is expensive. In order to manufacture the micro hard disk, we have developed a lot of technologies. The research and development expenses alone are an astronomical figure! Naturally, we To earn money from the micro hard drive...Mr. Johnny Edy, do you think this is true?" Henry smiled and asked back.

Johnny Edie deliberately picked up the glass and tasted the red wine slowly, pretending not to hear.

After a while, Johnny Edie put down the wine glass and said: "Mr. Williams, we Kodak is very sincere and really want to cooperate with Silicon Valley Electronics Group. Besides, with our company's camera sales, your micro-drives will sell us more. A little company can make small profits but quicker sales!"

Small profits but quick turnover? Head caught in the door? At present, micro hard drives can be said to be dealing with a monopoly position. If they don't take the opportunity to make money at high prices, they will go for small profits but quick turnover? Kodak has also been the boss in the camera field for a long time, and has been suffering from a horrible disease. It doesn't look at who is sitting in front of him!

"Mr. Johnny Edy, a micro-drive for 200 dollars, no more than a cent, never give up! If you want to cooperate with Kodak, let's continue talking; if you don't want to cooperate, then stop talking! "Henry said firmly.

Johnny Edie's face flushed a little, and he couldn't bear Henry's tone. He suppressed his anger and said, "Couldn't the price drop at all!!"

"No drop!!" Henry said solemnly. Henry originally wanted to promote micro-drives and do hungry marketing. Kodak is a camera company, and there is no conflict with his company’s products for the time being, so he is willing to talk to him. However, Kodak is smart and thinks that it can sell Silicon Valley Electronics Group lowered its head and sold micro hard drives at a low price. But this is never possible!

What's wrong with Kodak, I won't sell you micro hard drives~!

Johnny Edie's temper is not very good, UU reading www.uukanshu. com immediately stood up and said, "Well, Mr. Williams, it seems that Kodak can't cooperate with your company anymore. Goodbye!!!"

"No!"

Johnny Edie snorted coldly, slammed the door and left.

Harrison whispered: "Chairman, in fact, I think we can buy Carl Zeiss and then develop our own cameras..."

"Well," Henry nodded, "Carl Zeiss is a German company that manufactures optical systems, industrial measuring instruments and medical equipment, and a world-class company that manufactures camera lenses. Many of Sony's camera technology comes from Carl Zeiss!! In this way, you send someone to contact and see if they seem to have the intention to sell the company! You tell them that Silicon Valley Electronics Group is willing to buy their company at a premium of 10%..."

"Well, I got it!" Harrison nodded.
