Zhongguancun.
Some well-informed people already know that Wujiang Company has secured the exclusive distribution rights for IBM PCs and HP computers in mainland China.
The news caused a great sensation as it spread.
It's important to know that IBM PC is the most well-known computer brand. Although Super PC sells well, in the eyes of many people, Super PC is inferior to IBM PC in many aspects, except for being cheaper.
Research institutions, governments, and businesses alike take pride in purchasing IBM PCs.
Expensive means high-end!
The mentality of comparing oneself to others exists in every era.
Therefore, IBM PCs have consistently sold very well.
Upon hearing this news, the merchants on Zhongguancun Electronics Street, while envious, also rushed to Wujiang Company to place orders first.
Previously, they all sourced their goods from Shenzhen, which was not only difficult to access but also expensive. Now that Wujiang Company is an agent for IBM PCs, things will be much more convenient, and the prices should be cheaper as well.
...
The news that Wujiang was distributing IBM-PC and HP computers reached Kingsoft Hong Kong immediately. Zhang Xuanlong called Zhao Ye to find out the situation and expressed his concerns about Super-PC.
"Mr. Zhao, Wujiang Company is an agent for IBM PCs and HP computers. What about our Kingsoft Super PC? Will it be affected?"
Zhao Ye reassured him, "Mr. Zhang, there's no need to worry. The price of Super-PC is much cheaper than IBM-PC and HP computers, so sales won't be greatly affected. Moreover, Wujiang Company will provide more sales channels for Super-PC to ensure its sales volume. The profit Wujiang makes from selling one Super-PC is higher than the profit from selling one IBM-PC, so you don't need to worry at all."
"Since Boss Zhao says so, then I'm relieved!" Zhang Xuanlong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
...
In the following days.
Wujiang Company became increasingly busy.
PC dealers from all over the country flocked to the company to discuss becoming agents for IBM PCs and HP computers.
In an instant, orders for both IBM PCs and HP computers exploded.
This made Wujiang Company incredibly wealthy, much to the envy of others.
Liu Chuanzhi also returned to China at this time, bringing with him good news: the Institute of Computing Technology had secured exclusive distribution rights in China for several American PC brands.
The Institute of Computing Technology, and even the Chinese Academy of Sciences, couldn't help but be excited.
In a short time, Liu Chuanzhi's power in the company became even stronger.
However, although the domestic PC market seems to be in turmoil, the competition is not too fierce at present.
Both Wujiang Company and the Institute of Computing Technology maintain a tacit understanding not to engage in price wars, otherwise neither of them will make a profit.
...
American Borderless Company.
"Mr. Wang, 2,000 Imagine typewriters have been put into the warehouse!"
"Great! Contact the organizers of the Winter CES International Consumer Electronics Show immediately. We want to participate in Winter CES!" Wang Anshi said excitedly. He knew that a major battle was about to begin.
In a few years, typewriters will become unpopular in the US market, so time is running out for Wujiang Company.
Therefore, we must make money within the next two or three years.
Wujiang Company's first opponent to defeat was Wang An Company.
We are all born of the same root, why are we so eager to harm each other...?
But there's no way around it, Wujiang Company needs to make money!
Moreover, Zhao Ye felt that taking away Wang An Company's typewriter market was a way of saving them and forcing them to transform and develop PCs.
Sticking to the typewriter market will only lead to certain death.
Sigh, who can understand Zhao Ye's good intentions... right?
The winter CES in 1984 was held on November 1st.
It was held once before in the summer, with more than 100,000 attendees at a single event.
At the same time, Wang Anshi also plans to spend a lot of money on advertising in newspapers and on television.
The US market is quite large, and the first batch of 2,000 Imagine typewriters will likely sell out very quickly.
...
Wang An glanced at the recent financial statements and smiled.
WANG typewriters have recently seen another sales surge, with virtually no competitors in the United States. They have swept across the country, becoming the hottest technology product, and are used by almost everyone from the White House office to corporations.
Not long ago, Wang An even ran an advertisement in the newspaper: Try our product and forget about IBM.
IBM was speechless.
At this time, Wang Laboratories was at its zenith.
Wang An probably never imagined that a Chinese company would challenge his position!
Soon, the winter CES officially began.
Countless electronics enthusiasts from all over the world flocked to visit.
Wujiang Company was relatively unknown and had low brand recognition in the eyes of many Americans, so it only received a small booth.
To attract attention, Wang Anshi had a large poster made and hung next to the booth.
The poster succinctly stated: "Our product is better than the Wang An typewriter, but only half the price!"
"Mr. Wang, is this a good way to write it?" a subordinate asked timidly.
“What’s wrong with that? It’s just being realistic,” Wang Anshi said confidently.
Will Wang Laboratories sue us?
"Heh, sue us for what? Did we defame Wang Laboratories? No, we didn't! Alright, just do as I say!"
