Chapter 247 The Exhibition Begins

8:30 am on March 5, 1980, Los Angeles Convention Center, USA.

All the exhibitors began to enter the venue in an orderly manner, and Bao Zixuan saw a few old acquaintances. Matsushita Konosuke still refuses to admit defeat. He is already a consultant to Matsushita and will come to every exhibition where Heiyun comes to participate. This puzzled the people at Panasonic. After all, he didn't even attend the Tokyo exhibition. Why do they always travel thousands of miles to come to the United States to participate in exhibitions?

However, as a god-like being of Panasonic, no one in the company dared to ask. Even Matsushita Konosuke's family members don't understand, but they are all people who know the old man's character and don't know how to persuade him.

After seeing Bao Zixuan, Matsushita Konosuke smiled and said: "Boy, long time no see. I can't understand you. Why are you starting a real estate business now?"

"Although I don't like you, I don't really want a founder who can become a great technology company to take detours. You are still young and don't understand many things. Real estate has never been suitable for technology companies. Sometimes you will get deeper and deeper. I found that there is no real estate to make money in industrial production, but without a good industrial foundation, how can we bring about the prosperity of real estate!"

Heiyun Group has many properties in Japan, which are purchased and exchanged from major companies. This makes many Japanese companies very happy, if Heiyun invests too much energy in real estate. Then they won't be too focused on their main business, which is exactly what they want.

Konosuke Matsushita didn't want such a promising young man to take detours, so he gave some advice, but it could only be regarded as a kind reminder.

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you Mr. Matsushita for the reminder. I am very optimistic about the future development of Japan. This time I took advantage of some spare money to buy some property so that I can collect more rent in the future. Even if there is a prodigal son in the family, I am not afraid. After all, the property has rent collection." "

Konosuke Matsushita: "You are still thinking about the problem of prodigal children before you get married. Now you should consider how to improve the core competitiveness of the company. Forget it, I don't bother to care about you. After all, this is also a good thing for Matsushita."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you for your concern, but you are not young. You have to take care of your health every time you travel thousands of miles to the United States. You should give young people opportunities and know how to delegate power."

Matsushita Konosuke has actually thought about this problem for a long time, and his energy is now much lower than before. However, seeing that Heiyun was doing well now, he had his own worries, fearing that other members of the Panasonic family would not be able to compete with Bao Zixuan. It's hard to say this, and it's even more impossible to say this to Bao Zixuan.

Konosuke Matsushita: "People should move more sometimes. My doctor suggested that I should go out and move more."

Bao Zixuan: "Your doctor is right, but we still have to balance work and rest. Whenever I have time to go to Xiangjiang, I will entertain you. We are not only rivals but also friends!"

Matsushita Konosuke: "You are a person that sometimes makes me love and hate you, but I will go to Xiangjiang to have a look. I heard that your factory in Xiangjiang is well built, and I am really interested in taking a look."

The Xiangjiang Heiyun production base has now become the largest industrial park in Asia, and a large number of products are shipped from there to all over the world every day.

Many people know that the output value of the Heiyun production base is very high, which can be seen from the tax revenue and trade export volume announced by the Hong Kong government. It's understandable that Konosuke Matsushita wanted to see Heiyun, but he was limited by the scarcity of land in Japan. Japanese companies will not build large production bases, except for a few consortium-controlled companies. Panasonic is a rising star in Japan, and Konosuke Matsushita dreams of building a very large-scale industrial park.

Many people saw Bao Zixuan chatting with Konosuke Matsushita, including Sony's Akio Morita. In fact, the competition between Heiyun and Sony is now more intense. He is also afraid that Panasonic and Heiyun will get too close. If Bao Zixuan and Miyuki Matsushita get married, this will be even more unacceptable to Akio Morita. That’s why he used his connections to deliberately marry Panasonic and Mitsui Furniture. On the surface, it strengthened Panasonic's strength, but in fact, he was afraid that Bao Zixuan would cause trouble again. If that happened, Sony would suffer even greater losses.

Seeing Konosuke Matsushita leave, Akio Morita came to Bao Zixuan and said, "Bao Sang, this old fox Matsushita Konosuke has always had bad intentions towards you, so you have to be careful."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you, Mr. Akio Morita, for reminding me. You are right. It seems that you should stay away from this old guy in the future. I heard that the game console cooperated by Sony and Nintendo is going to be launched this time, but you are here again." "

Projects like the cooperation between two companies cannot be hidden from interested people, especially large companies like Sony and Nintendo. Akio Morita didn't pay too much attention and said with a smile: "We started late, but the product this time looks good. You Heiyun can't eat meat without letting us drink soup!"

Bao Zixuan: "How could it be possible? I have always been adhering to the idea of ​​making money for everyone when doing business."

Akio Morita: "I've been waiting for Heiyun to have another good product on the market this time. I don't know how long your brain is, but you can always come up with good products and methods."

Bao Zixuan: "You will know in a moment. If Sony wants to purchase new product patents and technologies, it will be no problem. Our cooperation has always been very good, and I am confident in you."

Akio Morita: "Thank you in advance, Baosang, but I also want to see how the product is. If it's not good, Sony won't like it, so you have to be mentally prepared for this."

Bao Zixuan: "It doesn't matter. I think Mr. Akio Morita will like this product."

Akio Morita: "Bao Sang is so confident, I'm really interested now."

Bao Zixuan: "I know in advance what new products Sony has prepared this time. As Sony recommends new products, we will not focus on promoting them at this exhibition. It is better for everyone to stagger them to avoid fierce competition and everyone will make money." Not enough money.”

After hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Akio Morita didn't believe it at all. Does this kid have such good intentions? Does he have some crooked ideas in mind to deal with him? It seems that he should take precautions to avoid being fooled.

Akio Morita: "It's still the same, you'll know when the time comes. But I'm very interested in what you said about staggering competition. Let's have a good chat after the exhibition. You really can't make much money by always competing, which is very important for the two of us. Every business is a loss.”

At 9 a.m., buyers began to enter the exhibition hall, and Bao Zixuan and Akio Morita returned to their own exhibition halls. This time, Heiyun and Sony still occupy the best positions, and both companies have a booth area of ​​400 square meters.

It can be said that Heiyun has put a lot of effort into the design of its booth, not only installing a large number of LCD TV screens on the exterior walls. There is also transparent glass, which is very sci-fi. The interior is also unique. All counters in the exhibition hall are made of stainless steel and glass. What Apple is doing is the store design of the future, which is definitely far ahead of other companies in this era.

PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting firm has made statistics for Heiyun regarding exhibition hall decoration. Their decoration cost for each exhibition is about US$1,000 per square meter. This time, in order to reflect the difference, the decoration cost per square meter reached US$1,600. In an era when other booth decoration costs are only around US$300-500, Heiyun Group's exhibition hall can be said to be unique.

The highlight of today is the new product recommendation session of the main committee from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Heiyun Mobile Phone will meet the public during this time period. 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock is the new product recommendation time of Germany's Siemens. The old German company has always played a decisive role in electronic products.

From 3 pm to 4 pm is Sony’s new product recommendation time, and from 4 pm to 5 pm is Apple’s new product recommendation time. It can be said that the entire Apple company attaches great importance to this hard-won opportunity.
