Chapter 846 Harvest

"Historically, next year is the most important year in history. First of all, Map's coming to us marks the normalization of relations between the two countries."

"Then Map's meeting with Bushi marks the end of the Cold War." Liu Hai is still thinking about next year.

If the things that happened next year in history continue to happen, it will be of great help to our layout of Feixiong.

When the relationship is normal, the two sides will have some business dealings. In the 1990s, merchants who went to Feige made a fortune. Some people even exchanged canned food for several planes, and even bought various retired tanks and cars at a very low price, almost the price of scrap.

If things in history still follow the original process, then commodities will still lead the way. After Feixiong splits up, some people will dare to sell anything for money.

Now my country's industrial product structure is very healthy, and my country now covers all industrial categories in the world.

And in many fields, it is far ahead of automobile manufacturing, rockets, airplanes, and ships. This is a little weak because there is no way to build aircraft carriers now.

Not to mention semiconductors, it is really far ahead, only the bald eagle has a chance to catch up, and others don't even have a chance.

Because now our semiconductor components have a huge impact on other semiconductor companies in the world.

In history, Canon, a small notebook, and Samsung, a small stick, these semiconductor companies may find it difficult to rise again.

Technology, employees, industrial chain structure and logistics and transportation are all quite mature.

The most important thing is cost and price.

The price of domestically produced memory is only half of the price of the bald eagle, and it can still make a lot of money.

In history, we were called the crusher of developed countries.

In 2020, when Liu Hai traveled through time, my country accounted for more than 90% of the supply in many industries.

Just like the dyes in the textile industry, at the beginning, we imported more than 100,000 dyes from abroad per ton, but after we produced them ourselves, the price was only 1/10.

The same is true for carbon fiber. When we didn’t produce it, it cost millions per ton. After we produced it, the price was directly cut in half.

In 2020, my country is the largest supplier of chemical raw materials. When many countries in the world want to produce something, they must first import chemical raw materials from my country.

On the one hand, it is because of our country’s efforts, and on the other hand, it is actually made by foreign people themselves.

If we want to continue to develop in the manufacturing field, population is an indispensable factor, and these people must master the most basic cultural quality.

In addition, there is also a general direction of control, just like our southern guys, who have been engaged in garment processing for decades, and have been engaged in garment processing, and have not developed upstream industrial chains.

The only change is that buttons and zippers were previously imported from the West, and later from us.

In addition, there are logistics and transportation, raw material supply, electricity, etc.

No country in the world can have such abundant electricity as we do.

Even in the summer, some places in the bald eagle often have power outages. Of course, the power outages in the bald eagle are caused by the local power monopoly in their country.

As for Europe, it is more because of environmental protection issues that they cut down their own thermal power equipment and rely on foreign energy for power generation.

Besides, European countries are small and the number of industrial populations is limited.

In addition, Europe is scattered and it is impossible to come up with a unified policy.

Liu Hai will not remind the neighbors next door, such as not to collect too much cash, etc., that thing is like waste paper in the back.

Because the superior department is mentally prepared, it will definitely take action in this regard.

At worst, we can just barter in the way that we did decades ago.

It’s just that we were poor and had no money at that time, so we exchanged things.

But now we don’t want their money, and history has been turned upside down.

Liu Hai’s own laboratory is only a preliminary research, and there is no way to conduct in-depth research, because it is impossible to conduct in-depth research in this environment.

This is the house where he lives, which was converted into a laboratory.

In Europe, the Pirates of the Caribbean turn-based game uses a point card model, which is completely different from the monthly subscription model of the text interactive game in the World of Warcraft.

The Pirates of the Caribbean turn-based game has more than 400,000 paying users in the first month of its launch.

The revenue exceeded 20 million US dollars, because the point card model can charge a lot of time in advance.

And more than 35% of these 400,000 are female players.

Everyone knows that if there are many female players in the game, it can attract many male players.

This game has become the darling of capital pursuit again, and relevant institutions have given a valuation of 3 billion US dollars.

When this valuation came out, Fenghuo Technology announced that the Pirates of the Caribbean role-playing turn-based game company was independent, and the company’s headquarters was still chosen in London.

Countless capitals have set their sights on this game company, because the game Pirates of the Caribbean covers a wide range of people, including the elderly, children, and women.

Many related institutions have privately contacted this company, hoping to get more shares.

Because everyone knows that with the increasing popularity of Panda II computers, there will be more and more paying users.

On Christmas Eve in 1988, Fenghuo Company launched another game, the name of which is Legend!

This game is very popular when it is launched, because in this game, if your game character kills the other game character, the other party's items will be exposed.

And once you kill someone, it is a red name, and the items will be exposed, leaving nothing behind.

However, there are restrictions in the game. People below level 10 cannot kill others, and others cannot kill people below level 10.

"Come on, come on, you idiot from Gaul, come on." In the Legend game, a player named Iron Will is sending messages to the whole server to curse people.

"Suancai, you wait for me." Then the second message is from a player named Stinky Suancai.

The player with Iron Will above is from San Dezi, and Stinky Suancai is from Gaul, because San Dezi's people like to eat sauerkraut.

Stinky Suancai means to mock San Dezi.

Gangs are also allowed in Legend, especially this way of shouting to the whole server. If two gangs have conflicts, they will keep swearing and provocative words on it.

And the big speaker for shouting to the whole server needs to be purchased with cash recharge.

The game Legend is free, but some game props need to be paid.

For example, if you recharge VIP, as long as the VIP user goes to a certain map, there will be a golden text on the game screen of the game players of the entire map, which says "Distinguished VIP player so-and-so goes to which map".

So the two gangs are transferred to a special map, which is the place to resolve gang disputes. The two sides kill each other, and they will not be red-named, but they will drop equipment and experience.

In Legend, if you are killed by someone, you will not only drop equipment, but also drop levels.

If you are killed all the time, you may be killed to level 10.

However, this game soon attracted criticism from some people in these European countries, who believed that this game was full of violence.

The game company quickly made restrictions that minors could not register to play this game.

Of course, under the current regulatory system, it is difficult to know whether the person playing the game is a human or a dog, let alone a minor.

And there is no information such as real-name system.

This regulation of the game company has no impact on people who play games.

Unless the Internet cafe owner does not want minors to come in to play games, but the Internet cafe owner has no way to check the other party's ID card, because the Internet cafe owner has no law enforcement power.

This is also a regulatory issue encountered in the development of science and technology.

Among European students, a new type of electronic toy is quietly becoming popular.

That is electronic pets. Many students want this electronic pet as a Christmas gift.

Many people have just realized that a new type of electronic toy has become popular in Europe and the world.

It can be said that it has become popular among middle school students and elementary school students.

Although in the eyes of adults, this is a very boring toy.

After a group of elementary school students meet, the first thing they do is to take out the electronic pet from their pockets, and then connect it with a data cable, and the two people's pets will compete.

These elementary school students will take out some extra bets, such as candy, chocolate, and some toys.

This makes the electronic pet interesting. According to statistics from relevant agencies, the sales of the Pocket Elf toy in Europe exceeded 3 million in 1988.

The New Year's Eve of 1989 was on February 5.

Liu Hai was also looking at the sales data of Pocket Elf toys in Kyoto. The global sales volume has reached 8 million.

Of course, Pocket Elf has many versions, English, Japanese, German, French, Arabic, and Korean.

There is no way around it, because toys are targeted at children, and it is impossible to expect every child to learn English.

Of course, this will increase costs.

The Pocket Elf toy is only the first product. With the development of semiconductors and LCD screens, handheld game consoles will follow.

This company will also be independent later.

The game companies and toy companies incubated by Fenghuo Technology will all be independent, then listed and managed separately. Fenghuo Technology will no longer manage these companies to avoid bloating the management.

Fenghuo Technology is still lightly equipped to do research.

In 1988, global mobile phone sales exceeded 6 million units, and global mobile phone users reached 40 million.

On the surface, Panda Mobile Phone only occupies less than half of the market share, but in fact it occupies almost 90% of the market share.

Because the others are all OEMs.

The Bald Eagle government's antitrust investigation on Panda Mobile Phones has not yet produced any results.

The total export output value created by Panda Mobile Phones exceeds 10 billion US dollars.

Fenghuo Technology Company also received a large amount of patent fees.

At the same time in history, there were only 4 million mobile phone users worldwide in 1988.

Panda mobile phones have played an indispensable role in this, mainly because of their cost-effectiveness, whether it is a communication base station or a Panda mobile phone.

In 1988, there were only 825 mobile phone users in Kyoto, and there were only 45 channels, which means that only 45 mobile phones could talk at the same time.

Now the number of mobile phone users in Kyoto has exceeded 200,000. No one is surprised to see someone using a mobile phone to make a call on the street.

The number of mobile phone users in the country has exceeded 1 million. In several other major cities and some provincial capitals, people can be seen everywhere holding mobile phones to look for signals.

Analog signals are like this. The frequency of interference is very high. Of course, it is not ruled out that during peak call times, the channels are fully occupied.

Of course, the 1 million users have accumulated over several years.

The price of Panda mobile phones is now less than 2,000 US dollars, and the main selling point is small profits but quick turnover.

And there will be another wave of price cuts in 1989.

The price of Panda mobile phones was high at the beginning because the factory equipment and investment were included.

The price of Panda mobile phones has dropped now because all costs have been recovered long ago, and now it is just the cost of parts and workers.

1988 was also a bumper year for Panda computers. The shipment volume of Panda 1 computers reached 2 million units, and the shipment volume of Panda 2 computers reached more than 500,000 units.

Among them, 100% of Panda 2 computers were exported, and 95% of Panda 1 computers were exported.

In addition, many accessories were exported.

The export data of Panda 2 computers created nearly 3 billion US dollars, and the price of Panda 1 computers fell rapidly because of the emergence of the second-generation computers. However, even so, the export of Panda 1 computers reached more than 5 billion US dollars.

The total export output value of Panda computers in 1988 reached tens of billions of US dollars.

This is just the export of computer complete machines and accessories.

This does not include the export of servers and the entire network equipment.

As for Loongson chips, the export volume is even greater. The export of Loongson 1, 2, 3, and 4 generations of chips also exceeded 1 billion US dollars, because Loongson chips can be used as embedded chips.

In other words, the total output value of the entire Panda computer and Panda mobile phone in 1988 exceeded 20 billion US dollars.

This does not include network equipment and mobile phone base station equipment.

In fact, the products exported by some Eastern countries make the Bald Eagle grit its teeth.

Although the products exported by some Eastern countries are denominated in US dollars, both parties do not have many US dollars in their hands.

Because the products exported by some Eastern countries only have a certain proportion of cash, and the rest are materials.

And this cash is not only US dollars, but also British pounds, francs and other currencies.

Of course, it is this trading method of some Eastern countries that makes these European dealers willing to trade with some Eastern countries.

The Bald Eagle wants to impose high tariffs on products from some Eastern countries.

However, several proposals have not been passed, because there are many consortiums in the Bald Eagle country, and the interests of some Eastern countries are deeply entangled.

For example, the famous Motorola, since it abandoned its own mobile phone research and development and bought OEM mobile phones, Motorola found that its life was better than before.

It does not need so many R&D personnel, nor so many senior technical talents, and it does not need to manage a huge supply chain.

It does not need to invest a lot of money in R&D.

It does not need to pay for the losses caused by the wrong R&D direction or product direction.

In addition, there is American Communications Company. Panda Computer has no market in Bald Eagle, but Panda Mobile's OEM mobile phones occupy 70% of the market in Bald Eagle, and the rest are some brands of Nokia.
