Chapter 62
Now is the Christmas holiday, but many industries do not have holidays, such as the news media industry. Although the tape recorder has been invented for many years, now I see that Heiyun can make the Walkman so delicate, so convenient, and so creative. The most important thing is that in 8 hours, a total of 400,000 units were sold worldwide. The sales amounted to $61.8 million, which is a little scary. After all, the dollar is quite strong in this era, and sales have reached HSBC's profit for most of the year.
All the media reported it frantically, and the Boston Post could get first-hand information by taking advantage of its home field advantage. A lot of data is reported through them.
The Boston Post headline is MIT geniuses are creating brilliance, and they reported in detail the entire process from project approval to production. Especially in this regard, Heiyun spent more than 50 million US dollars in research and development funds, and entrusted two MIT laboratories to jointly tackle key problems, and this brilliance was achieved under the creativity of Bao Zixuan. This is a model of mutually beneficial cooperation between companies and universities, and only MIT has such a strong scientific research strength.
Heiyun made dollars, and MIT not only made money, but also made a name. This month's survey alone shows that the most students are applying or preparing for MIT, and they are far behind Harvard.
The Wall Street Journal is even more optimistic about the valuation of Heiyun. When he launched Heiyun software alone, he valued Heiyun at US$200 million. With the completion of the first phase of the Xiangjiang factory, the Walkman won a lot of money. After its success, Wall Street valued Black Cloud at $1 billion.
This suddenly pushed Bao Zixuan to the cusp of sealing. After all, a company that has been in business for less than half a year has surpassed many companies that have been established for a century, and Bao Zixuan has also become a model and role model for young people around the world.
In fact, as early as the launch of Heiyun software, many venture capital companies have the idea of taking a share in Heiyun, but all of them are based on the reason that Bao Zixuan has studied at MIT for the past two years, fearing that the venture capital company will be robbed of the company's management right after entering reason, refused. Everyone can understand, after all, Bao Zixuan is still a big boy, and he is afraid that others will steal his big toys.
But this time, there are still a lot of high-profile companies that want to take a stake in Heiyun Company. Bao Zixuan told the company people this time that when the venture capitalists come in the future, they will all be well received. Then I will not consider investing in venture capital companies within two years, but when I fully devote myself to the operation of the company after graduation, I will inspect the limelight companies as soon as possible, and discuss the company's valuation at the same time. Bao Zixuan can only choose to drag words now, otherwise the energy of these people is too great, if they offend everyone, then they don't have to do it in the future, they will be restricted everywhere.
The Los Angeles Daily interviewed John Chambers, who was on a business trip in California. After all, Hollywood is in Los Angeles. Moreover, as a pervasive media, they knew that Sharon Stone first got the titanium alloy 002 model of the Walkman; they asked: "What was the reason for Sharon Stone to be endorsed at that time, after all, Hollywood is more He has a lot of famous stars!"
In fact, Sharon-Stone's agent has already started to pass on how to meet Sharon on the plane, how to be optimistic about Sharon, and in short, to hype her artists. Actors still need to increase their attention and exposure. However, this was a pain for Bao Zixuan. When he was on a plane in the future, the ground staff would disclose his seat number and sell him for money.
Originally, there was nothing, and the two of them just met on the plane, and they haven't met since then. But after the reporter asked this question at this time, John Chambers could only answer truthfully, after all, it is not a secret.
"It was indeed Miss Sharon Stone, who was recommended by the boss. They also met and met on the plane from Boston to Los Angeles. It was I who suggested to the company to find a young and beautiful girl to shoot an advertisement. The boss only knows such a person in the United States. Celebrities, this is also a kind of fate! And the requirements in all aspects are indeed suitable. As for the couple relationship you are talking about, I don't know very well, but I haven't seen each other since they separated from the airport. "
Reporter: "Then why do you give Sharon Stone such a high advertising fee! Is the owner Bao showing love to Sharon Stone?"
Chambers: "It's not about showing love, it's just a simple ad endorsement. And the company makes more money than the little money it gives Miss Stone. Miss Stone does the job well, it's He deserves it!"
"Okay, stop talking about the boss's gossip, or else I won't have any good fruit to eat when I go back to the company."
John-ex-Chambers' words have been misinterpreted by many Hollywood tabloids, such as the stories that technology giants and Hollywood beauty stars have to tell; such as genius teenagers dating beauty pageant champions, etc. After all, they also rely on these to live.
RB media generally believes that the launch of the Walkman by Heiyun is worthy of reflection by RB companies. The rise of Heiyun in the field of small electronics will lead to a decline in the sales of RB brands such as Sony and Panasonic. This is something that RB companies must reflect on. At the same time, it is necessary to increase scientific research funds, and enterprises should cooperate with universities to achieve a win-win situation. Seeing this, Bao Zixuan couldn't help feeling that he had a long way to go. He just launched a product, and RB Media felt a sense of crisis. He reminded enterprises to pay attention. It seems that RB enterprises are indeed difficult to deal with!
The British Times report focuses on a young man from Hong Kong who has laid a solid foundation in Oxford, and is now taking off. He has also established his own factory in Hong Kong, how much profit can be created every day, and how happy the life of Hong Kong people is.
But Hong Kong Media, this time is the most excited. After all, the success of Heiyun Software last time was far away from them. Heung Kong Company rarely used computers, but this time the Walkman has personally experienced his convenience and sense of technology. This thing is produced in Xiangjiang. When did we have this ability in Xiangjiang, and we see that there are trucks delivering products to the airport and wharf every day. Many media also visited the inside of Heiyun Company. Although UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com did not enter the core workshop, they saw the working environment and accommodation conditions of Heiyun Factory, and asked about the wages of the workers. The most important thing was to see The food in the cafeteria of Heiyun Company, in contrast, is pig food that he eats every day.
Especially when the interviewed workers knew that Heiyun's daily meals were similar to these, everyone began to feel that working in Heiyun was really happy.
The Ming Pao title is used, and Heung Kong is the most conscientious enterprise. Not only introduced Heiyun high wages and high benefits. He also introduced in detail that the food and housing conditions of Heiyun Company are the best in Xiangjiang, and they will leave the second few streets.
The consequences of such reports have directly led to the slightly larger factories in Xiangjiang raising their accommodation standards and food costs. Enterprise costs seem to have risen, but labor efficiency has improved a lot, making more and more imitators. In the days to come, the food of the entire Xiangjiang factory will be ranked in the forefront of the world.
Oriental Daily reported that according to this development speed, the richest man in Xiangjiang should be replaced next year, but it doesn't matter, both of them are named Bao.
He introduced in detail the ability of Heiyun to attract money from terror; Heiyun now produces about 20,000 Walkmans and about 2,000 game consoles every day. I don't know the profit of the Walkman, but it can be seen from the raw materials that the profit of each Walkman should be around 50 US dollars, which is about 1 million US dollars. The profit of each game console is about 1,000 US dollars, and this profit is about 2 million US dollars. Now the factory is entirely its own. The daily expenses of workers' wages and other expenses should be around 800 to 1 million US dollars, and the daily income of Heiyun is around 2 million US dollars. Bao Zixuan earns $60 million a month and $700 million a year. This is such a terrifying data that he should be able to become the richest man in Hong Kong by the middle of next year.
