v2 Chapter 192: ipod enters Europe

...

"Sotheby's auction house invited me to participate in their auction. The time is at 8 o'clock tonight. Then, I will pick you up and go with you!" In a restaurant of a high-end hotel, Henry was eating a steak while talking to Kay. Linna said.

Kailena looked at him suspiciously and asked: "Aren't you usually not participating in auctions?"

"It's not the same," Henry shook his head and smiled. "This time, I have an item commissioned by Sotheby's auction house for auction!"

After hearing this, Kailena was very curious, what would Henry entrust the auction house to auction?

Before Kalena started asking, Henry said it himself.

"I commissioned them to auction a bottle of wine!"

"Wine? Well, what kind of wine is going to be auctioned at the auction house?"

"Hehe, it was produced by a winery in Williams Manor, just changed the packaging."

"Well, how much do you plan to sell?"

"The starting price of two million dollars!"

"How much? Two million dollars?!!!" Kailena widened her eyes and said in surprise, "Oh, are you kidding me, is there such an expensive wine in the world?"

"Other wine, I don't know," Henry said, shaking his head, "but my wine is so expensive!!!"

Kailena was speechless, drank a glass of fruit juice, and said: "Now, I am very curious, what kind of wine is it!"

"What's so curious about this? After lunch, I will call someone to send two bottles to drink!" Henry laughed.

"Two million dollars of wine, I can't bear to drink it!"

"What's the reluctance of this, you can use it in a bath in the future!"

Kailena "chuckled" when she heard this.

After lunch, Henry really called and asked someone to send Kailena two bottles of "Williams I" wine, one bottle was white wine and the other was red wine! After Henry finished the phone call, he said goodbye to Kailena, and the company was busy. Said to come over to pick her up to Los Angeles to participate in the auction at night!

When Kelena received the wine in the office, she was shocked!

After looking at the wine bottle carefully, he smiled and shook his head and said, "I said why it is so expensive. It turns out that the cost is spent on the wine bottle. How can this be selling wine? It is clearly selling wine bottles!!!"

Said so, but Kelena liked these two bottles of wine very much. Because the design of the wine bottle is so beautiful, it is simply a priceless artwork!

Henry returned to the Silicon Valley Electronics Group in the afternoon. MP3 players have been distributed throughout the United States, and sales are very hot. China Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd. has built a new factory for production. In addition, it has purchased 10 million MP3 decoder chips from TSMC. Order. Not only to sell all over the United States. Also intends to march to Europe. The Internet in Europe is developing very fast. Almost all countries in Europe can connect to the Internet. The number of users who just open Internet access services is still relatively small!

However, Internet cafes in European countries are blooming everywhere, and this stems from the great discounts of Cisco's "one-" plan for one-stop service. Therefore, the cost of opening Internet cafes is greatly reduced. Naturally, the number of Internet users in European countries has gradually increased with the rise of Internet cafes!

Henry can imagine. The popularity of it will inevitably attract the attention of other companies, such as Sony, Panasonic and other Japanese companies, must have secretly started to develop MP3 players! Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that they did not launch a product, Henry decided to take the initiative to seize the market!

Harrison reported to Henry in the office.

"Chairman, in Europe. We have established branches in the ten most influential countries in Germany, France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland. Each branch will be responsible for the local For national sales, the main way of sales is three-level distribution, of which at least five first-level distributors will be established!"

"What about the rest of Europe?" Henry asked.

"You can find a branch in a neighboring country to obtain the qualification of a first-level distributor!"

Henry nodded and expressed his understanding. Then he said: "Europe is no better than the United States. Our foundation there is a bit weaker. Therefore, we must spend a huge amount of money in advertising and do a good job in product promotion! The commercial has to be re-shot, and in some countries The native language is not English. Therefore, the commercials we shoot have to cater to the local country. The language is changed to their native language, and then the filming location is also changed to a representative local building, such as France. The advertising background is the Eiffel Tower, a group of young people. People listen to songs below!"

"Okay," Harrison replied, and then asked: "Chairman, then...do you want to replace the actors shooting the commercials? Are they still the original six?"

Speaking of which, after the advertisement was broadcast on American television, it immediately caused a great sensation.

In the commercial, the compact and beautiful appearance and its unique broadcast format left a deep impression on people. A group of young and energetic young men and women interpret fashion and popularity by listening to music! After the commercials were screened, according to a reporter's survey, more than 70% of young men and women in the United States wanted to own a music player!

The commercial is on fire, and the actors in it are on fire.

Among them, Diana, who has a particularly outstanding appearance, is particularly out of the country in commercials. Many film companies have asked her to make movies and negotiate contracts. However, the entertainment gossip newspaper unearthed a photo, which shows the scene of Diana kissing Henry in the hotel! So, for the sake of sales, gossip newspapers began to report that Diana is Henry's gossip girlfriend!

Harrison asked Henry if he would continue to invite the original six people to shoot commercials, just because he considered the scandals that came out before!

Henry didn't care and said: "Don't look for it again~lightnovelpub.net~ The original few people are pretty good!"

"Well, well, I will arrange them to go to Europe as soon as possible, and then shoot the commercial!!!" Harrison nodded.

...

After Harrison left, Henry turned on the computer and entered the e-mail to check the progress of the project sent by the companies under his name! Henry paid special attention to the fact that three-fifths of the 3D engine developed by ID-Game, a subsidiary of Firefly Games, has been completed. It is expected that the project will be completed in four or five months. At that time, shooter games, "Half-Life" or "Counter Strike" can be developed.

In addition, the "Warcraft 1" jointly developed by Blizzard and the game company is about to be completed. It is said that it can be completed in one month, but according to Blizzard's peculiarities, there must be a skipping ticket and it has not been released as scheduled!

After Henry browsed through the contents of the e-mail, it was almost off work. So I turned off the computer, left the Silicon Valley Electronics Group, and drove to Victoria's Secret to pick up Kailena to attend the auction!
