Chapter 162 Opportunity to make quick money
No, during today's meal, Chen Jialin vented his dissatisfaction in front of Li Tianfeng before the third round of wine had passed.
"Mr. Chen, not everyone has a good vision like you. Come on, Mr. Hu, let me have a drink with you. I wish you lots of money and a bright future!"
Li Tianfeng's emotional intelligence is obviously very high. He won't offend anyone with a word. He even complimented Chen Jialin and then politely toasted Hu Yang.
However, Li Tianfeng believed in Mr. Chen's judgment. No matter how dandy Chen Jialin was, his vision and ability were second to none among this group of people.
"Manager Li, you're so polite! Please take care of me in the future. Your bank is the God of Wealth. We as business owners will inevitably beg you for help. Just don't be unable to get through your door."
Although Populus euphratica currently has no need for foreign exchange, having one more friend would provide another avenue, and he and Li Tianfeng had a great conversation.
"Haha, Mr. Hu is so polite, so polite! If you need me in the future, just ask. If nothing else, I can still help with the loan."
Li Tianfeng's words are impeccable, but it can be seen that he is also willing to make friends with Populus euphratica.
After dinner, Hu Yang declined Chen Jialin's invitation and refused to do the next show at all. Just kidding, who can stand staying up so late every day? He originally planned to take another day off tomorrow and return to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow.
A night of silence.
When he got up the next morning, Hu Yang called Chen Jialin and told him that he wanted to walk casually on the street today, so he didn't need to accompany him or arrange a vehicle.
"Awen, what do you want to buy and take back?"
Hu Yang was wandering around aimlessly, and when he saw a Walkman in a street store, he bought two. Looking back, he saw Han Wen was empty-handed, so he asked.
"I haven't thought about what to buy, but people say gold jewelry in Xiangjiang is cheap. Let's go check it out when we pass by a gold store."
When going out, Hu Yang gave Han Wen two thousand Hong Kong dollars and asked him to buy whatever he wanted. Han Wen had bought some small gifts before, but now he suddenly wanted to buy a gold chain.
Hu Yang nodded. At this time, the price of gold in Xiangjiang was indeed cheaper than in the mainland. It would be a good idea to buy some gold jewelry to take back.
"There should be a gold shop in front, let's go and have a look."
There are many shopping malls, gold shops and jewelry stores in Causeway Bay. Not far away, there is a gold shop on the first floor of a large shopping mall.
When they came to the counter, the shopping guide introduced several gold jewelry to them enthusiastically. Han Wen was a little hesitant.
Hu Yang did not rush him, and moved slowly by himself, casually admiring the gold chains, gold rings and other accessories on the counter.
Unconsciously, he walked out of the gold store. The display booth in front displayed many electrical appliances, such as cameras, camcorders, video players, etc. He even saw a VCD player.
VCD machine... He walked closer and looked at it carefully. It was a Sony product, priced as high as HK$4,800.
For no reason, Hu Yang sighed softly.
VCD, a video playback device, was successfully developed by Jiang Wanmeng in September 1993. The company was established in December of the same year and launched on the market in 1994.
However, it was only after the end of 1994 that ordinary people in China became aware of this product. Despite the huge investment in advertising that year, in the domestic market, less than 20,000 VCD machines were sold in the whole year of 1994.
Since the inventor of the VCD machine has not registered a patent, since the beginning of 1995, major electronic manufacturers in the world have begun to successfully imitate this product, and domestic capital has also begun to follow up.
In Hu Yang's memory, from the second half of 1995 to 1996, sales of VCD machines began to increase by leaps and bounds, creating a huge single-product consumer market.
For example, in the late 1990s, brands such as Aido, BBK, and Xinke, which were widely known to domestic consumers, benefited from this.
"Well, this is really an example of how people in the past planted trees for people to enjoy the shade."
Without patent protection, the inventor of vcd and his company will soon be defeated by various copycat products. This cannot but be said to be a tragedy.
Hu Yang couldn't do anything about this kind of thing. After sighing a little, what Hu Yang thought more about was that this seemed to be an opportunity, an opportunity to make quick money.
"Sir, are you interested in this Sony VCD player? Would you like me to introduce it to you..."
When the shopping guide saw Hu Yang standing there for a long time, she came over with a smile and asked.
Hu Yang raised his head, smiled at the shopping guide, and said, "Then please introduce it to me. I'm not very familiar with this kind of electrical appliance."
The shopping guide lady spoke in Cantonese before, and of course Hu Yang could understand it. But when he answered, he used Mandarin.
"Ah, okay."
The shopping guide glanced at Hu Yang and immediately began to introduce him, but she also changed the language to Mandarin. At this time, a slightly fat man in his thirties also came over. He listened very seriously, but did not make a sound.
"Yeah, let me buy one. Thank you."
Seeing that he introduced the machine diligently for five minutes, Hu Yang decided to buy a VCD machine. After paying, the shopping guide asked him to wait a moment. There was no stock in the store and the warehouse would deliver it soon.
"Miss, I want to buy one too."
The fat man just now suddenly said that he also wanted to buy a VCD machine. He immediately paid the money and stood with Hu Yang waiting for the goods.
"Hello, are you also from China? My name is Hu Debiao, and this is my business card."
The fat man can be sure that Populus euphratica is from China. Not surprising, you can tell it by listening to the accent of Populus euphratica.
"Hello, I'm from Yangcheng. My name is Hu Yang, and this is my business card."
To be honest, Populus euphratica doesn’t know how many boxes of business cards he sends out every month. As long as you are a business person, exchanging business cards is almost a daily routine and everyone is used to it.
Hu Yang took the business card, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It turns out we are still from the same family, Boss Hu. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you."
But at this time, his heart was very uneasy, and he almost blurted out the word "Wocao". Could things in this world be any better?
Just now he recalled the powerful kings who would dominate the VCD market in the future, but now he met Hu Debiao, the boss of "Aido Electronics Co., Ltd."
In April 1995, Hu Debiao raised 800,000 yuan of his own funds and founded "Aido Electronics Co., Ltd." in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province.
When the company was founded, Hu Debiao focused on the VCD machine market. Currently, he is collecting prototypes and developing his own assembly products.
Currently, Hu Debiao encounters several problems.
One is that the assembly technology of VCD machines has not been thoroughly understood, so Hu Debiao is keen to collect similar products from different brands.
Furthermore, assembling VCD machines requires the import of a large number of electronic components. As a free port, Hong Kong is undoubtedly the best way for him to find sources of goods.
"I am also honored to meet you! Yes, we are our family, please take care of us in the future!" Hu Debiao shook hands with Hu Yang enthusiastically and laughed heartily: "Mr. Hu turns out to be an investor."
The business scope of Huijia Holdings was written very generally on the business card, but the term "investment" was very eye-catching. Hu Debiao immediately became a little cautious.
He currently lacks technology, but lacks supply of goods and even more funds. I wonder if this young man who met by chance can bring about a turnaround for his company?
Therefore, a successful businessman will not give up any opportunity. No matter whether it succeeds or not, he will never be willing to give it a try.
While Hu Yang was cheating with Hu Debiao, his mind was spinning rapidly. He knew about the company "Aido Electronics" and he also knew that this company would be the future overlord of the VCD industry.
But there is a saying that he knows the beginning but not the end.
VCD machines have become popular all over the country in just five or six years. Hu Yang is not very clear about the company "Aido", and of course he doesn't know its final outcome.
Hu Yang focused on the investment field in his previous life. He is not omniscient and omnipotent, and his memory is also not comprehensive.
The store owner quickly brought two VCD machines. Hu Debiao looked at Hu Yang and said, "It's rare that I feel so attached to you as soon as I see you. Mr. Hu, are you free at noon? I'll treat you to a casual meal and let's chat while eating."
"
Han Wen, who had already bought gold jewelry, came over at this time. He saw the box under Hu Yang's feet and said, "Mr. Hu, did you buy this?"
Hu Yang nodded, and then said to Hu Debiao: "Boss Hu, you're welcome, I'll treat you."
"Then I would be disrespectful."
Hu Debiao has been working in the field for many years, and he has a good ability to observe people's emotions. Although the young man in front of him is not old, his temperament is calm and calm, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.
So he didn't argue with Populus euphratica and agreed with a smile.
Han Wen stepped forward and picked up a machine, then smiled and said, "Boss Hu, I'll help you get yours too."
Hu Debiao nodded politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother!"
Hu Yang looked at his watch and saw that it was almost lunch time, so he walked out of the shopping mall with a few people, and then took a taxi back to the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
At noon, Hu Yang, Hu Debiao and Han Wen sat down in the hotel restaurant and ordered a few dishes.
During the meal, Hu Debiao was eloquent and kept talking about how his company had a bright future. After a few glasses of wine, he simply asked Hu Yang directly if he was willing to invest.
"Boss Hu, I am still somewhat interested in the VCD industry. However, I can't reply to you right now. I will do some research later, at least until the risk assessment report comes out, before I can make a decision."
Hu Yang was a little tempted and wanted to make a quick buck in the emerging industry of VCD. But he also had some worries, that is, he didn't understand Hu Debiao, nor the company "Aido Electronics".
Therefore, his answers were cautious.
"Haha, it should, it should. I wonder when Mr. Hu plans to return to the mainland? When you go back, I will go to Yangcheng to visit you in person."
