When latecomers adopt the existing results, they have actually missed a lot of things that are more helpful to understand the results.
Just like some owners on the first floor, because they feel they can't use the building elevator at all, they can't understand why they have to pay for the maintenance of the building elevator; However, I do not know that when the form of sub unit sale of buildings was first put into practice in the 1950s, it made reference to the law to regulate the maintenance of the public interest of buildings; Otherwise, the form of sub unit sale will not exist at all.
Besides, the existence of personal computers, the Internet and other technologies that have a profound impact on the human world can indeed be used wisely after the latecomers take them, but there is always a trace of "aura" that is unclear, which is a level different from the birthplace of the United States.
Some people may attribute this phenomenon to the fact that the United States is a superpower and has the world's most abundant resources. Naturally, it can do its best in everything.
However, after the introduction of Huanyu personal computer, there is another understanding that personal computer is not only a high-tech achievement, a commercial product, an advanced tool, but also a cultural element that can not be ignored.
It must be admitted that there is no ideological imprisonment in this corner of the United States. It can also be said that there are all kinds of wonderful flowers.
For example, it has long been said that mainframe computers are accomplices of large enterprises and the government to control the people.
At this stage, anti mainstream culture is prevailing in American society. Hooligans are said to be domineering, chicken thieves are said to be smart, and stupidity is said to be simple. Gao Xian doesn't know if it is, but he learned that everyone can have a personal computer, which is a sign that people get rid of large enterprises and government control, and has formed a quite broad consensus.
Through the vivid reports of market investigators, Gao Xian seemed to see how maverick anti mainstream fighters shouted at Huanyu personal computers at various technology salons.
Gao Xian couldn't help muttering that it's no wonder such a wonderful work as Steve jobs can become famous. Apple has no soul without Steve jobs.
Now that Huanyu personal computers have reached the forefront of anti mainstream culture in the United States, the sales volume has naturally increased. After the first batch of more than 800 reservations were met, the purchase demand surged towards the dealer Ruixia like a tide. In less than a month, more than 3000 units were sold.
Thanks to Gao Xian's foresight, Huanyu electronics is not a small workshop living in the garage. Otherwise, these swarming purchase demands must be scheduled until next year.
According to this sales trend, the annual sales volume of Huanyu personal computers has exceeded the predetermined target of five figures, which is really a little conservative.
The reason why the market response is so rapid and enthusiastic is that in addition to the appeal of the banner of anti mainstream culture, it also benefits from the developed communication and postal networks in the United States. The communication between anti mainstream culture fighters and technology enthusiasts is very fast and convenient.
Charles Tangdi, who was excited by the good market situation, came to Gao Xian and said, "hurry to make the monitor the standard configuration of Huanyu personal computer. Ruixia's sales network has received hundreds of orders to buy the monitor alone."
Gao Xian nodded and said, "don't worry. A batch of monitors will arrive at the port soon."
If Gao Xian built personal computers in the form of small workshops, Huanyu personal computers would have come out long ago. The reason for delaying until this year is not only to patiently do a good job in the top-level planning of the ecosystem centered on Huanyu personal computers, but also to achieve standardization in manufacturing. The processing in such small workshops will certainly not become a climate.
Such as display, keyboard, tape, tape drive, floppy disk, floppy disk drive, power supply, bus interface on the motherboard, etc., are the embodiment of manufacturing standardization.
When Huanyu personal computers were first introduced to the market, many buyers did not know what the products were like, so they tried to buy only one host cheaply, and then, like a home video game console, they used one channel of the TV to receive the output results.
When customers approved Huanyu personal computer, they couldn't stand using TV as display terminal, so they bought special monitors.
Gao Xian estimated that with the further use of Huanyu personal computers, the problem of insufficient memory capacity will also be highlighted. At that time, the demand for memory expansion cards will be stimulated, and the profits will be considerable.
"How is the market response of home video game console?" Gao Xian asked instead.
"Very good," replied Charles Dundee, "but there are a lot of complaints about the slow loading speed of games on tape."
Gao Xian nodded unexpectedly, "these problems will be improved by the next generation of products launched next year."
After Charles Tangdi left, Gao Xian specially told Zhou Wenyao: "pay attention to those small PC workshops that must spring up like mushrooms. If the limelight is too high, promote and suppress with Ruixia; if someone is willing to accept the bus and operating system standards of Huanyu personal computer, treat each other well, and the meaning of patent fee is OK."
Zhou Wenyao specially asked for instructions: "for those who imitate our products too much, don't use legal weapons for the time being?"
"It doesn't make much sense to cut into small workshops. Instead, it provoked coquettish and was accused of bullying by public opinion." Gao Xian pointed out: "we should aim at their acceptance of universal personal computer bus and operating system standards."
……
After explaining the precautions to his subordinates, Gao Xian temporarily turned his attention away from personal computers and game consoles and was invited to meet Charles bludorn, the boss of Gulf and western industries.
After Gao Xian became a shareholder of paramount, he began to obviously support the Hollywood giant who had been sold to Charles bludorn in previous years. Its income was higher than the turning the tide after Robert Evans took charge of paramount. It was very dazzling in the financial statements of Gulf and western industries, which also pushed up the stock prices of Gulf and western industries.
But Charles bludorn didn't have much time to relax, so he had to find Gao Xian to solve his troubles. See if Gao Xian can help find a suitable new paramount president.
It must be admitted that Robert Evans, the current president of paramount, does have two brushes.
When Charles bludorn bought paramount, paramount was no ordinary mess. The truth is obvious, not desperate. How can Hollywood giants like paramount give outsiders the opportunity to incorporate themselves.
Robert Evans, who was just a nobody at that time, was able to lead paramount out of difficulties and achieve good results, so that Charles bludorn, the boss, could not be dissatisfied.
However, Robert Evans has a big appetite. As president of paramount, he still wants to retain his previous identity as an independent film producer.
To put it bluntly, while enjoying the authority and treatment of President paramount, Robert Evans also wants to get another lucrative job as an independent film producer.
Because Robert Evans managed paramount quite well, Charles bludorn agreed to his terms.
However, other producers under paramount are increasingly dissatisfied with this. They believe that Robert Evans has lost the minimum fairness by taking advantage of the convenience of being president of paramount to give special care to his film project as producer.
This contradiction broke out in the upcoming film Chinatown. When it came to Charles bludorn, we must make a decision.
Hollywood's "water depth" is reflected in many aspects. In addition to making a confused account of film revenue, it also includes the complex checks and balances between various forces.
For example, the strength of trade unions in Hollywood should not be underestimated. Just a while ago, a new temporary balance was reached.
In this case, Charles bludorn didn't dare to treat fairness as nothing, so he asked Robert Evans to serve as president of paramount and independent film producer at the same time.
In the final analysis, no matter how well Robert Evans takes care of paramount, he can't finish everyone's work. People's support can't be ignored!
On Robert Evans's side, seeing that the income expectation of the film Chinatown is very good, he would rather resign from the position of President paramount and retain the identity of independent producer of Chinatown in order to get a richer income return.
Charles bludorn, who was a little unprepared, was very big.
Robert Evans recommended a successor, Richard Silbert, but it was precisely because Robert Evans caused public anger that his favorite Richard Silbert, no matter how senior, could hardly convince the public.
Gao Xian has long heard of what Robert Evans has done, so he is not surprised that things have turned into a mess for Charles bludorn.
First of all, Robert Evans would rather give up the decision of President paramount and retain the identity of independent producer of the film Chinatown. Gao Xian can understand.
After all, at this stage, the overall situation in Hollywood is not optimistic, and I don't know when the downward trend can stop and rebound. In addition, Charles bludorn is not easy to serve, so it's not easy to be president paramount. When Robert Evans's resources accumulate almost enough to ensure the success rate of the project operation, It's not as pleasant as an independent film producer who specializes in making money.
However, it is understandable that Gao Xian is not optimistic about the future of Robert Evans, the outgoing president of paramount.
Normally speaking, a person who had been president of paramount and had outstanding performance during his term of office should still be a great man in Hollywood even if he left his old employer. However, in the "old script", Robert Evans quickly sank. He was caught by the police because he transported drugs and killed his future.
There are all kinds of wonderful flowers in Hollywood. Gao Xian estimates that Robert Evans may be involved in drugs now. This hobby delays business. It's a good thing that he took the initiative to resign as president of paramount.
More importantly, Gao Xian saw that the change of Hollywood president made by Robert Evans gave him the opportunity to strengthen his control over paramount.
Charles bludorn, who is worried about this matter, further pushed this opportunity to Gao Xian.
"David, you're so popular in the Hollywood filmmakers' circle. It's better for the gang Ramon to find a president to calm the company's people," Charles bludorn asked expectantly.
These words of Charles bludorn scratched the itch of the high string and made him smile with complacency without concealment.
Through the symbiotic guerrilla kidnapping, Hollywood filmmakers such as George Lucas and Spielberg are definitely friends in need with Gao Xian.
In the process of rescuing Gao Xian, the active running of these people is evidence of deep friendship.
Furthermore, Gao Xian's loyalty in times of crisis has become a convincing character charm through the praise of everyone present. Of course, it is suitable to be a peacemaker.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Xian solemnly analyzed: "Charles, since you trust me so much, I'll analyze it first to see if we can reach a consensus."
"To be fair, Richard Silbert, the successor recommended by Robert Evans, is indeed a Hollywood filmmaker with enough qualifications, but as far as he is good at making feature films, it does not necessarily mean that he has enough leadership ability to lead paramount to stride forward among thorns."
"The overall decline of Hollywood is an indisputable fact, and paramount must find an extraordinary Sunshine Avenue."
Speaking of this, Gao Xian deliberately asked Charles bludorn a question, "Charles, do you know the reason why Hollywood is going downhill?"
Charles bludorn casually replied, "television has robbed a large audience."
"That's right!" Gao Xian looked admiringly and picked his thumb. "The rise of TV is also an indisputable fact, but it must soberly face the reality that there is no problem, that is, the source of programs is insufficient, and he has to seek Hollywood to shoot TV dramas."
"In other words, if you want paramount to make a steady stream of money, you have to adapt to the reality of the rise of TV and enhance the power of TV program production."
Finally, Gao Xian accentuated his voice: "therefore, I think that the new president of paramount, in addition to running the original company's business, must also have foresight in the television industry."
Charles bludorn was completely convinced by Gao Xian and nodded repeatedly: "David, what you said is very reasonable. The new president of paramount should be based on this standard. You should look for candidates according to our consensus."
Seeing Charles bludorn's complete decentralization, Gao Xian flashed a smile in his eyes and muttered, "the new president of paramount I've found must be on my side as long as necessary."
