Chapter 120 The Eve of the Wedding
On May 20, 1999, the first product funded by the New Century Computer - the Chinese character ocr recognition system was released. At the same time, the Italian, Russian, and English handwritten ocr recognition systems were also launched. Both the Italian and English recognition systems found corresponding agency companies, but the Russian system was a little troublesome. At this time, Russia already had a local company, Company A, which operated the same product, and the recognition rate was also very high. It was still difficult to enter the market with its current strength in the New Century.
My opinion on this is to try not to have a head-on confrontation with this company, and can take the advantage of price to bundle with local scanner manufacturers.
For the first time, Chu Gao felt that the responsibility he shouldered was heavy, and the senior executives of the new century began to work hard. Chu Gao also agreed with me very much. After all, the foundation of the new century is still very thin. Although it is abundant in funds, it is a loser just in terms of fame, so my opinion can be regarded as a way to take the "curve-to-save the country".
However, to my surprise, Company A has actually blatantly criticized New Century's OCR products in the media and made wild words. In another ten years, New Century will not even be able to occupy the market share of the Russian identification system! It has also joined forces with many local sales agents to fundamentally refuse to cooperate with New Century.
After this accident, I attended the high-level meeting of New Century Group as an advisor to New Century Group for the first time.
Since the establishment of the New Century was not long, the connections they had were limited to China. The products from the United States and Italy were also signed directly to local companies, and New Century did not need to be marketed in person. But Russia is different. There is no marketing company in the local area, and everything needs to be marketed in itself in New Century.
The results of the discussions of several senior officials were also helpless, because an outside company in Xinshi City lost to Company A from the perspective of "locality".
"Consultant Liu, what do you think we should do?" At the meeting, Chu Gao called me Consultant Liu.
"I think the problem we are facing now is nothing more than being unable to occupy the market! Russian consumers are not boycotting products from a new company like Company A, because for them, they use the same. But the main thing we are now that it has touched the interests of Company A. Company A has good connections in Russia, which prevents us from truly entering the market. So, as long as we let Russian consumers use products from the new century, the problem will be solved." I said.
"Yes, we can even avoid profits first, just occupy the market. But the key question is, what channel should we enter?" Chu Gao nodded and said.
"It's my initial view, bundled sales!" I said firmly. Bundling is the trick of the company I worked in in my previous life. No matter what product, as long as I want to seize the market, it will be bundled into my operating system, which makes users have to accept it.
"Bundle sales?" Chu Gao said in confusion. He had already tried this trick, but the local scanner manufacturer did not accept it at all.
"Yes! Bundle sales. I want to make our new century ocr products on computers of Russians." I nodded and said.
"Everyone? How is this possible!" Chu Gao exclaimed.
"Of course it's possible. We just need to bundle the product into Dawn's operating system." I said evilly.
"Damn! So sinister." Chu Gao also smiled.
Two consecutive days. Two people said I was insidious? Am I really insidious?
I handed over the contact with Shuguang to Chu Gao. Anyway, the senior management of Shuguang in City B now knows my relationship with Zhao Junsheng. This kind of mutual benefit is easy to talk about.
I hadn't planned to take such extreme and somewhat immoral business methods, but the news from Company A really made me angry. Let them take it upon themselves this time.
Professor Dong was very happy with the launch of the product, and was very confident in the research and development team he personally selected and led, and was ready to further expand the research team to study more advanced technologies.
And these people have also become the most solid team in the new century.
Who would think that there is too much money? Besides, I make money for a bigger plan.
In recent times, Sun Sikong has required a large amount of metal in order to develop a larger aircraft carrier spacecraft. I have to spend huge amounts of funds to acquire various metals from all over the world for Sun Sikong to conduct experiments.
Although Sun Sikong's laboratory has mastered the technology to change the atomic structure of matter, this technology also requires cost, so it is better to buy metal directly to be affordable.

In a blink of an eye, June is coming. There are still five days left for the wedding in summer.
I asked Du Xiaowei to investigate the information I had sent back.
Xia studied at Stanford University in the United States. Her father worked in the Security Bureau and her mother was the chairman of a well-known state-owned enterprise. In this way, Xia's family background is really prominent. Compared with me, she is simply from heaven and from earth to earth. No wonder Xia asked me to work hard to improve my social status at that time. If I were just an ordinary person, even if Xia was willing, her parents would not tolerate her son-in-law being an ordinary person.
But this Lei Xiaolong is a little troublesome. If the Lei family is just an ordinary family, it would be easy to do. The key is that the Xia family and the Lei family are both prominent families. If the Xia family regrets getting married, the Lei family will definitely lose all face. Will the Xia family turn against the Lei family?
I shook my head and didn't think about this for now. The most important thing is Xia's meaning. If she had decided to marry that Lei Xiaolong with all her heart, no matter how hard I tried, it would be in vain.
I went to rob the marriage. If Xia still likes me, then my actions would be a feat at the end of the century. If Xia didn't like me, my actions would be a fool.
But I don't mind being a fool.
"Have the branches in the United States been contacted?" The employment company established by Du Xiaowei has currently opened a very large arms supply company in the United States and has good connections.
"Everything is ready, uncle. No matter how we do it, no one will come out to interfere." Du Xiaowei smiled and said, "And there will be no one on the TV station."
