The initial signing event wasn't intended to sell a large number of products; it was simply for publicity and to enhance the brand image of DaMi Technology products.

It's not worthwhile to ship them from within China, so Xing Baohua asked his chief secretary to coordinate with the local distributor.

The manufacturer supports promotional activities. For every product sold by the distributors, Xing Baohua directly replenishes their stock and provides additional subsidies.

There are three large distributors and more than a dozen small distributors in DaMei.

We could only find one company to handle it, but unfortunately, none of them had much stock left. It was already a hot commodity, and now they were running a promotion.

Isn't this making things difficult for someone?

Finally, the three major distributors partnered up to ship the goods, prompting Xing Baohua to quickly replenish their stock.

Needless to say, Xing Baohua had already instructed his hometown to ship the goods to the Americans.

It's the kind of double the amount.

Next month, Zou Wenjuan will also follow this model, which may trigger even more consumption.

Petermont is now the largest distributor of VFC audio equipment in the US, and he no longer works as an electrical engineer. He opened an audio store in Manhattan.

Upon receiving Xing Baohua's call, he immediately rushed to Los Angeles to meet with her.

When he learned that Xing Baohua was going to organize a promotional event, he patted his chest and assured her that there would be no problem.

Furthermore, the sound system will be delivered within a specified timeframe.

When Xing Baohua first met George, Petermont, and Brier, Petermont was the only one who seemed a bit silly and cute, chubby and incredibly cheeky.

Who knew he actually had a knack for business? He's incredibly bold. He started out as an agent with loans, and look at him now. Of the dozen or so agents in Europe and America, he's the one who sells the most.

He now has a net worth of several hundred thousand US dollars.

George seems like a talented person, but unfortunately, his thinking is a bit rigid. If you tell him how to do something, he'll do it. But if you ask him to figure it out on his own, well, just wait and see. He probably won't have even taken any action by the time you ask.

Xing Baohua called Peter over, wanting him to act as a reseller for his computer.

Show the other party photos of the specifications and appearance.

Appearance is the first element that attracts people; it makes it clear at a glance that it's not cheap.

Just like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, they are very eye-catching, but not something ordinary people can afford.

Of course, Xing Baohua's two computers have the appearance of a supercar but the internal organs of an Alto.

It is flashy but lacks substance, and is all show and no substance.

Unfortunately, Xing Baohua wanted to get the best chips, but he couldn't get high-end chips.

Let's leave the first generation like this for now. Anyway, we've already got 286, so it can last for a while.

When Xing Baohua received the 386, he believed that his computer could enter the mainstream market.

At that time, graphics cards should be able to begin mass production.

Pitmont wants to sign an exclusive agency agreement for North America.

Xing Baohua agreed to this. Considering the pitiful production volume in the later stages, supplying even one supplier would be difficult, let alone multiple distributors.

Xing Baohua only granted Petermont a three-year agency right, with an annual agency fee of one million US dollars.

Full payment is required before shipment. The market price for a laptop is $1999, and the market prices for desktops are $1999, $2299, and $2999.

Except for the 1999 model which has a large CRT monitor, the other two desktop models both have LCD screens. The only difference is the screen size.

Xing Baohua suggested that if Petermont was under financial pressure, it could order smaller quantities, perhaps a dozen or so units.

Of course, Xing Baohua will also establish a warehouse in the United States, with the shipments controlled by Hainan North America Company.

If production catches up later, we'll have to compete with those big American manufacturers for market share.

Therefore, it is necessary to plan ahead and accumulate sufficient supplies in order to compete in the market.

Relying on agents to place orders and then ship the goods is simply not competitive.

Just like when Andy Lau and Zou Wenjuan want to hold a concert and do some promotion, they can only rely on their distributors to grit their teeth and squeeze out some goods to support their brand.

It takes one to two months to ship the goods from the factory.

If we had a warehouse in the US, we could provide support anytime.

Setting up a warehouse has another advantage: if Microsoft can get the network up and running in advance and also implement online payments, it can open an online store.

Distributed warehousing using the JD.com model.

The first company to go public will then fleece a few waves of Americans.

Petermont left happily, practically skipping away. He went back and brought over all the speakers.

The distribution company has also arranged in advance to have a medium-sized exhibition hall where Andy Lau's first autograph session will be held.

The chief secretary contacted a furniture company to build counters and display cases based on the model used at the Canton Fair.

With everything arranged, Xing Baohua started fiddling with his charging phone.

Under direct sunlight, the charging progress barely increased.

There was no other way, so he asked someone to buy a multimeter and a soldering iron so he could test it out and find out where the problem was.

Logically, aerospace-grade solar panels should be of excellent quality. The output voltage should be stable. Xing Baohua also calculated it using formulas, and although the input current is small, it can definitely charge the solar panels.

The phone shows it's charging, but it won't change its signal strength. Xing Baohua left it aside in the sun for a whole day without any change.

The cause was eventually found to be a problem with the phone itself. It consumed a lot of power in standby mode, while input and output power were roughly the same.

This is the best solar panel available. If it were replaced with a small, domestically made sheet-like panel, it would probably be useless.

If it can be charged, wasting a little more time gives one something to look forward to.

If you can't get rid of the odor even after being exposed to the sun all day, that's just plain ridiculous.

First, identify the components in the phone that consume the most power and see how to solve the problem. Secondly, you also need to modify the power management chip to control power consumption.

If it consumes this much power even in standby mode, imagine how much it consumes during actual use.
