On May 20, 1999, New Century Computer's first funded research and development product - Chinese character OCR recognition system came out. At the same time, Italian, Russian, and English handwriting OCR recognition systems were also launched together. Both the Italian and English recognition systems have found corresponding agency companies, but the Russian system is a little troublesome. At this time, Russia already has a local company A company that operates the same product, and the recognition rate is also high. It wants to enter the market. With the current strength of New Century, it is still somewhat difficult.
My opinion on this is that try not to form a direct confrontation with this company A, and you can take advantage of the price to bundle sales with local scanner manufacturers.
For the first time, Chu Gao felt that he shouldered a heavy responsibility, and the top management of the new century began to work intensively. Chu Gao also agrees with my opinion very much. After all, the foundation of New Century is still very weak. Although it has abundant funds, it loses a lot in terms of fame. Therefore, my opinion can be regarded as taking the route of "saving the country with curves".
However, to my surprise, Company A blatantly criticized New Century's OCR products in the media, and uttered wild words that in another ten years, New Century will not even try to occupy the market share of the Russian recognition system! And united a lot of local sales agents, fundamentally refused to cooperate with the new century.
After this accident, I attended the high-level meeting of New Century Group for the first time as a consultant of New Century Group.
Since the establishment of the new century is not long, the contacts it has are limited to China. Products from the United States and Italy are also directly signed to local companies, and there is no need for New Century to market them in person. But Russia is different. There is no local marketing company, and everything needs to be marketed by New Century itself.
The result of the discussion among several high-level personnel was also helpless, because a foreign company in New Century City lost to Company A in terms of "geographical advantage".
"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 the inability to occupy the market! Russian consumers do not resist the products of a new company like Company A, because for them, it doesn't matter who they use. But we now The most important thing is that it has touched the interests of company A. Company A has good connections in Russia, which prevents us from really entering the market. Therefore, as long as we let Russian consumers use the products of the new century, the problem That's it." I said.
"Yes, we don't even want to make profits, just occupy the market. But the key question is, what channels do we use to get in." Chu Gao nodded and said.
"It's still my original point of view, bundled sales!" I said firmly. Bundling, this is the trick of the company I worked in in my previous life. No matter what product, as long as it wants to seize the market, it will be bundled in its own operating system, so that users have to accept it.
"Bundled sales?" Chu Gao asked in confusion. He had already tried this trick, but the local scanner manufacturers didn't accept it at all.
"Yes! Bundled sales. I want all Russians to have our new century OCR products on their computers." I nodded and said.
"Everyone? How is this possible!" Chu Gao exclaimed.
"Of course it is possible. We just need to bundle the product into Sugon's operating system." I said evilly.
"Damn! It's really insidious." Chu Gao also laughed.
Two days in a row, two people said I was sinister? Am I really insidious
I handed over the matter of getting in touch with Shuguang to Chu Gao. Anyway, now the senior executives of Shuguang in City B know about my relationship with Zhao Junsheng, so this kind of mutually beneficial matter is easy to talk about.
Originally, I hadn't planned to adopt such extreme and somewhat immoral business methods, but the press statement of company A really made me a little angry. Let them take care of themselves this time.
Professor Dong is very happy with the product's release, and he is also very confident in the R&D team he personally selected to lead, and plans to further expand the research team to study more advanced technologies.
And these people have become the most solid team in the new century.
Money, who would think too much? Besides, I make money to back up a bigger plan.
Recently, due to Sun Sikong's desire to develop larger aircraft carrier-type spacecraft, a large amount of metal is required. I had to spend a huge amount of money to buy various metals from all over the world for Sun Sikong to test.
Although Sun Sikong's laboratory has mastered the technology of changing the atomic structure of matter, this technology also requires cost, and it is not as affordable as buying metal directly.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was June. There are still five days until Xia Jing's wedding.
I asked Du Xiaowei to send back the investigation materials.
Xia Jing, studying at Stanford University in the United States. His father works in the Security Bureau, and his mother is the chairman of a well-known state-owned enterprise. From this point of view, Xia Jing's family background is really very prominent. Compared with me back then, it is like a heaven and a world. No wonder Xia Jing asked me to try my best to improve my social status. If I was just an ordinary person, even if Xia Jing wanted to, her parents would not tolerate her son-in-law being an ordinary person.
It's just that Lei Xiaolong is a little troublesome. If Lei's family is just an ordinary family, it will be easy to handle. The key is that the Xia family and the Lei family are both prominent families. If the Xia family regrets their marriage, the Lei family will definitely lose face. Will the Xia family turn against the Lei family
I shook my head, not thinking about it for now. The most important thing is Xia Jing's meaning, if she has decided to marry that Lei Xiaolong now, no matter how hard I try, it will be in vain.
I went to rob a marriage, if Xia Jing still likes me, then my actions will be the feat of the end of the century. If Xia Jing doesn't like me, my actions will be foolish.
But I don't mind being an idiot once.
"Have you contacted the branch in the United States?" The employment company established by Du Xiaowei has now opened a very large arms supply company in the United States, with good connections.
"It's all ready, Master Uncle. No one will come out to interfere as we do." Du Xiaowei said with a smile: "And there will be no one from the TV station."
I nodded. I know that in these countries, arms suppliers have a strong social status and strength, and can do many things that others cannot. This is what I asked Du Xiaowei to do instead of Suguang's branch. reason.
