From the perspective of playing wrist, Gao Xian never doubted Wen Enhui's ability, which he began to see from the day he knew each other.
After tacitly agreeing to Wen Enhui's talent reserve plan, Gao Xian continued: "the overall recession of the U.S. economy should continue until at least the first half of next year, but I don't think it's enough to maintain business now. For example, there are still a lot of trade opportunities in the Latin American market in the south of the United States."
Wen Enhui immediately understood the meaning of Gao Xian, "do you mean to make further use of the advantages of the Cologne free trade area in Panama?"
"Yes." Gao Xian nodded. "In recent years, thanks to the rise in the oil market brought about by the world oil crisis, many Latin American countries, including Mexico, seem to get rich overnight and their consumption power continues to rise. The best-selling of Sega's game console products, especially family video game consoles, is a proof."
"There is no shortage of people here who can be trusted, worthy of cultivation and willing to bear hardships. Instead, you often say that human resources are rich and relatively cheap, and there is no problem in increasing market development." Wen Enhui said tentatively: "just, you specially remind me that there should be no more brand products?"
"You guessed right." Gao Xian laughed. "I'm very optimistic about the prospect of home video recorder business. Especially when the program sources provided by video tapes are not subject to copyright protection, the market consumption power is easy to stimulate."
"Sir Gao really takes care of our brothers' business." Wen Enhui also smiled with understanding, because he naturally foresaw what Gao Xian pointed out from one profit model applicable to his family video game console, and the other is also applicable to his family video recorder.
At this stage, under the increasingly fierce market competition, the price of simple home video game console hardware products continues to decline. The retail price of each of the eight home video game consoles is less than $200, which can be said to be everywhere. The purpose is to seize the share of game software operation platform as much as possible, and then make more profits by relying on game software, Just like the razor that men can't live without, the small blade matched with it provides businesses with a steady stream of financial resources
Compared with the early development of the video game industry, a video game machine is equal to a video game. A home video game machine can run a variety of game software in line with its platform specifications, which is undoubtedly a great progress, so that it provides a new business model.
The operation of game software in home video game console is realized by the user accessing its carrier - cassette. As for the cassette, it is essentially a circuit board equipped with semiconductor read-only memory, which is covered with a plastic box.
Because a semiconductor industry has not launched a comprehensive price war against the semiconductor industry in the United States, the price pressure caused by semiconductor read-only memory to the cassette can not be ignored. However, under the current technical conditions, the semiconductor read-only memory in the cassette can be directly connected to the address space of the microprocessor, which is convenient for programming.
Fortunately, thanks to Gaoxian's elaborate supply chain, Sega has always maintained its cost advantages. For example, according to the data disclosed in the financial statements of listed companies, the ex factory price of each cassette is about $4.5 on average, and the retail price to consumers is about $20. The specific figures are affected by the capacity of semiconductor read-only memory in the cassette, the quality of video game works Copyright fees, sales channels, production links and other factors.
Players will certainly not be satisfied with only one video game. In this way, they are still very sensitive to the price of game cards, especially in vulnerable currency areas outside the United States.
In order to capture the Latin American market more quickly, Gao Xian's means can be called multi pronged, and his attitude is very "tolerant", which can not even be put on the table. Among them, he supports the forces mastered by Wen Enhui, gets resources away from Sega's financial statements, and goes to the Latin American market to earn unnecessary profits.
In fact, where copyright protection is relatively perfect in the United States, piracy does not exist 100%. For example, before jobs got rich, he was a typical anti mainstream culture youth with poor pockets. He liked Bob Dylan's music, but what if he was shy? Then get some pirated tapes.
In a few words, Wen Enhui realized from the home video recorder business described by Gao Xian that the video tape as the source carrier of the program is much better than the cassette of the home video game console. Even the quality of the video tape is so poor that it becomes blurred after several times. It is still a good thing to enhance the market consumption power.
"OK, I'll send more people to the Cologne Free Trade Zone," Wen Enhui said brightly in his eyes. "By the way, it seems that the weather changed in Panama a few months ago, and the pro american forces began to take power."
Gao Xian nodded slightly. Of course he knew the dynamics. General Omar Torrijos, the ruler of Panama, died because of the plane crash, and his dictatorship naturally ended. Within the sphere of influence of the Panama Canal, the United States also lost a voice that it hated. It seems that the outside world doesn't care much about it. Gao Xian is more lazy to care. Anyway, the convenience has increased, During his tenure as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Bush Sr. paid more attention to the situation in Panama and managed some available resources.
"If necessary, I will personally visit the authorities in Panama." Gao Xian once again made a thorough statement on the resources he provided to Wen Enhui.
After a while, Wen Enhui looked at the time and invited, "do me another favor. I'll find a restaurant, take Wendy and have dinner together."
Gao Xian joked, "why, Wendy is making trouble with you?"
Wen Enhui sighed softly, "it's all because I'm so used to this girl. I scolded her a few days ago, and it's been cold war until now."
Gao Xian advised: "children of this age have entered a rebellious period. Even if they make mistakes, you should try to communicate with each other in an equal manner. Besides, Wendy can remember some things when she came to the United States, which makes her thinking a little earlier than her peers."
Wen Enhui snorted bitterly: "at that time, I was really angry. This girl blocked each other in the bathroom because of the gratitude and resentment in the student circle. How can my daughter be so mindless? Just bear it a little and fight back in an individual obscure way, which will save a lot of trouble now."
Gao Xian lost his smile. Only then did he understand why Wen Enhui was angry. His feelings were that his daughter did not inherit a series of good qualities, including insidious and forbearance, and directly rolled her sleeves regardless of danger.
"How big a conflict can there be? Is it difficult to solve?" Gao Xian asked curiously.
"The school is easy to handle. It's mainly the girl student who always bullies Wendy. Her family background is not simple. Her father mccaller has a gang background and is undergoing white washing transformation in business, so that he has had two small conflicts with us to grab territory." Wen Enhui frowned: "That guy is quite good at drilling camp. Recently, he seems to have connected with the Commissioner of the housing authority of Zhengfu, Los Angeles, through a donation activity, and he seems to have a hot relationship."
"I never doubt your wrist." Gao Xian smiled. "It's easy for you to solve this kind of trouble."
"The problem is that the United States is much bigger than the Xiangjiang River. It's not easy to master a lot of situations." Wen enhuis said: "the person in charge of the investigation the day before yesterday found that mccaller warmly entertained several gangsters from New York, and I don't know whether they acted as thugs temporarily or for a long time."
Gao Xian thought for a moment and then provided an intelligence, "as far as I know, the FBI is planning a clean-up of the increasingly rampant New York Mafia."
"In this way, those guys are scattered soldiers. Maybe they can instigate them to have the greed of occupying the magpie's nest and let mccaller mess up first." Wen Enhui showed a sinister smile on his face. "By the way, I collected some information about the mismanagement and even corruption of the Los Angeles housing authority. I don't know if it can be used."
Gao Xian replied without hesitation: "this kind of thing is the most effective for the media."
They were talking. The door of the study was knocked twice, and then Wendy put her head in. "Uncle Gao is here. At last, I have a chance to thank you personally for the entrance gift you gave me."
"You're welcome." Gao Xian said with a smile, "girl, come in and chat with us."
Wendy glanced at his father and shook her head. "No, uncle Gao, you'd better continue to discuss big things."
Seeing Wendy slip away, Wen Enhui smiled bitterly, "this girl still remembers her revenge."
"It seems that I still have to be the peacemaker." Gao Xian stood up with a smile, walked out of the study and found Wendy, who was watching TV and drinking a drink. "Dinner is my treat. You should be honored."
Wendy rolled her eyes. "My father must have come up with this idea."
Gao Xian joked: "you are so smart, how can you fight with your classmates directly in school? That's too mindless."
Wendy said angrily, "it's not because Janice has a chest and no brain. Only her fist can let her know right away. Don't bully me."
Gao Xian was speechless for a moment, but he didn't feel embarrassed, because he had experience. His eldest son Ping'an is a few years younger than Wendy, but many ideas in the cerebellar bag are quite surprising. Moreover, to take a step back, the social development is so fast that Wendy, who entered junior high school, may not really be unfamiliar with the world.
Therefore, Gao Xian also opened a bottle of drink. While drinking, he casually turned off the topic and said, "how are you adapting to the new school?"
Wendy replied with considerable sophistication, "it's OK. There are always picky guys like Janice and kind ones."
Gao Xian was amused. "I'm relieved to see you so calm."
After glancing at the study, Wendy lowered her voice and said, "Uncle Gao, can I ask you a question?"
Gao Xian faintly raised an alert in his heart and said, "you haven't promised. Do you want to go to dinner together?"
Wendy shrugged. "You two adults give me the steps. Do I dare to be ignorant of current affairs? If my father is angry, he may really leave me like scolding me, find a woman and have another brother or sister smarter than me."
Gao Xian couldn't help laughing. "Your father and daughter are really interesting."
Wendy was not so easy to fool. She continued the previous topic and asked, "Uncle Gao, do you know my mother?"
"Of course, I know your father and your mother. We are friends." Gao Xian answered vaguely, picked up the drink and tasted it carefully.
At this time, Wen Enhui came over and urged, "Wendy, go and change your clothes. The restaurant has been booked."
Wendy immediately changed from a detective to a girl of this age. After a happy promise, she trotted back to her room.
After Wendy changed her clothes and came out, she made up and turned around in front of Wen Enhui twice, which immediately made Wen Enhui smile.
Gao Xian thought to herself that the longer this girl grows, the more she looks like her mother. It's better to stay in the United States all the time.
