Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 227 The Purchase Order of Imperial University

When [Thunder Games] received an advertising order from [Dragon Scale Games], the person in charge was also stunned.

The two companies seem to have a lot of cooperative relations, but in the final analysis, they are still competitors.

Is it really appropriate for the other party to advertise on the "e-sports competition" held by their company?

When the main business of the company conflicts with the interests of the project, everyone is a little confused. From the standpoint of the company, it should be rejected, and the tiger should not be infested. However, from the perspective of project interests, this large order should be accepted.

"Let me ask the boss."

Lu Wenbo also found it incredible, so he called Tian Moyun.

"That's right, that's what I promised. You can see how much they are willing to pay. As long as the payment is appropriate, it's fine to put the entire event on their advertisement."

Tian Moyun said lazily: "As for the conflict of interest? Don't worry about it. [Dragon Scale] is an 8-bit home machine, and we are an arcade machine. There is not much conflict of interest. It is okay to advertise to the other party. As for the future 16-bit machine, That's next year."

All right--

Tian Moyun said so, and Lu Wenbo thought about it, and it was almost the same reason, so he asked the Ministry of Commerce to discuss cooperation with the other party.

The two sides chatted quite happily (talking about each other), and finally signed a friendly cooperative relationship. The several advertising spaces won by [Dragon Scale Game] are all excellent ones. Of course, the price is also very beautiful. Probably around 4000 million.

This is just the beginning.

When the news of the bidding for the advertising space of the "E-sports Competition" came out, there was an endless stream of people coming to seek cooperation.

Tian Moyun's business talent is well known throughout the business world, and although the impact of this "e-sports competition" is hard to assess, the advertising space bidding is still very popular.

"There are more than 800 companies participating in the bidding. I want to change the bidding method to an auction. What do you think?"

Lu Wenbo called to inquire.

Tian Moyun pondered: "Okay, as long as you think it's suitable. But remember, orders from hospitals cannot be accepted, and orders for food must be guaranteed... In short, the company must not be negatively affected by the advertising bidding."

What he thought of the most was a domestic search software on Earth in his previous life.

"Don't worry about that, I will conduct a strict inspection of all companies participating in the bidding in advance, and put the company's reputation first."

Lu Wenbo said.

Tian Moyun hung up the phone and ignored it.

Tian Moyun certainly doesn't mind using auctions to auction off advertisements, which can maximize their profits.

In fact--

Tian Moyun himself is not very clear about how much these advertising spaces should be sold for, and it is estimated that none of the companies participating in the bidding has a clear idea.

The "E-sports Competition" is held for the first time, the first time in the world, this thing may be popular, or it may be unpopular... It's like buying a lottery ticket.

These bidding companies came here especially for Tian Moyun's fame.

Just like the theories of many famous investors, don't invest in projects, only invest in acquaintances.

Beep in a low voice: The acquaintance mentioned here does not mean close relationship, but confidence in the other party's business ability, and investors have confidence in it.

……

After putting down the phone.

Tian Moyun looked at the school leaders on the opposite side and smiled: "Let's continue."

Sitting opposite Tian Moyun was the president of Imperial University——Wang Qinghe.

The reason why Tian Moyun was allowed to negotiate in person was mainly because of the focus of this cooperation: the school purchased computers in bulk!

In the initial plan of the [Star Computer] business, apart from the home computer market, which is prone to short-term saturation, the biggest focus should be on three areas.

Schools, businesses, official institutions.

Among these three channels, any one can hit the home computer market, and it is easier to help [Xing Kong Technology] popularize its own system and increase market share.

Take the school as an example-

Just imagine, if all the computers that students come into contact with in school are all [Starry Sky OS] system, then when they buy themselves in the future, most of them will choose this familiar system instead of the impersonal things of foreign companies. .

Moreover, the business logic of the two parties is different.

[Thunder OS] is free to install, and the computer business only sells hardware, and does not increase the price because of the system.

On the other hand, several mainstream systems overseas adopt a one-time payment buyout system, and the price is extremely high, requiring hundreds of dollars, all of which are included in the hardware cost.

For most schools and enterprises that purchase computers in bulk, [Thunder Computer] can save a lot of money.

……

"According to our school's discussion, it was decided to purchase a 32-bit computer."

Wang Qinghe said.

Tian Moyun was not surprised.

[16-bit starry sky computer] Although it is cheap, everyone knows what that thing is used for.

If it is not for the purpose of winning more market share, such things that will be eliminated within a few years should not be produced.

16-bit is just a transition, and the future will inevitably be a 32-bit market, and even within ten years, it will change from 32-bit to 64-bit.

As long as the school is not in a daze, of course it will not choose 16, otherwise, it will cost a lot of money to change from 16 to 32 in the future.

However, what Wang Qinghe said next surprised Tian Moyun.

"We decided to purchase some all-in-one machines, which accounted for about 10%. For the rest, we chose 32-bit hosts and [Starry Sky Technology]'s 24-inch LCD monitors."

Wang Qinghe said with a smile.

"The price of the all-in-one machine is not low."

Tian Moyun shrugged: "With all due respect, the cost of an all-in-one machine is quite high, and the comprehensive profit is not as good as that of a desktop host. It is more of a technological significance, which means that our company has world-leading technological strength, and it is not a real commercial product. Come to operate. So... there will not be too many discounts in this regard."

Large-scale bulk purchases by schools and enterprises, of course, cannot be sold at market prices, and necessary discounts and discounts must be available.

"For something like a discount, it's almost enough."

Wang Qinghe smiled: "[Starry Sky Technology]'s computers are already cheaper than those with the same configuration on the market. Even if I can't negotiate too many discounts, no one will blame me. Moreover, to put it bluntly, it is also a support for domestically produced products. Research is not only my decision, but also the decision of the upper-level officials."

"..."

Tian Moyun nodded slightly, feeling something in his heart.

Because of some relatively esoteric international trade relations, it is impossible for Daxia officials to give a large amount of resources to [Starry Sky Technology] on the surface, and it would be a bit ugly to eat like that.

It is precisely because of this that in the field of the open market (home computer), the discounts, subsidies, and support policies given by the Daxia government are similar to each other, and there is no inclination because [Star Technology] uses fully self-developed technology.

but--

In the three major markets of schools, enterprises, and official institutions, some "hidden rules" can be carried out.

The upper-level leaders directly said "need to reduce costs and purchase the most cost-effective", which is equivalent to a very straightforward hint to them to purchase [Xingkong Computer].

Looking at the entire market, no one dares to compare prices with [Xing Kong Computer].

Imported and joint venture brands have a lot of extra costs, such as the transportation cost of imported components, import tax costs, labor costs, research and development costs, profit margins... and a series of problems, which eventually lead to costs far exceeding the sales of [Xingkong Computer] price.

In terms of price wars, they have no advantage.
