Chapter 306: Heavy Breathing
"Silver Mink mice want to jointly hold a competition with the game developer of Quake, which is actually wanting to take the opportunity to promote and promote Silver Mink mice in various places overseas!"
This set of rhetoric was obtained by He Heng after communicating with Li Dongling High-Tech. As a company focused on by the Foreign Exchange Department, He Heng is very concerned about Li Dongling High-Tech, and the connection with Li Dongling High-Tech is very close.
Even the Foreign Exchange Department has specially established a management center branch in Pingyang, which is directly managed by Yanjing.
Now the Foreign Exchange Department has not yet spread its offices to major cities. Now the places that can handle foreign exchange business are mainly concentrated in major cities like Yanjing and Shanghai. Otherwise, it is also the center of provincial capitals like Xiyuan. Those involving large amounts of foreign exchange still have to submit folders to the Yanjing Foreign Exchange Department and wait in line for foreign exchange quota approval.
Establishing a foreign exchange office in a city level like Pingyang is still very rare now. After all, except for Li Dongling High-Tech, other companies involving foreign exchange and foreign trade business in Pingyang, not to say there are none, but they are also few and far between.
If it were that kind of city that spends money, let He Heng open a foreign exchange office, then He Heng estimates that he would have to grind and delay for a few years and a half, and then go over unwillingly.
But placed in a place like Li Dongling High-Tech that can earn a lot of foreign exchange, the situation is completely different. He Heng can distinguish clearly between those who send money and those who reach out for money.
He Heng's top boss, Director Pei, nodded noncommittally after hearing this set of statements. Regarding things like electronic games, in his impression, he didn't pay too much attention to them. Now the attitude of China towards electronic games is still in a state of strict prevention.
Like Sony and Nintendo's game consoles, they have not been allowed to be introduced into China for sale. Now the Duan boss of BBK, who previously made the Xiaobawang learning machine, everyone who has come into contact with it knows what this thing is used for.
It is said that it was bought back to practice five-stroke typing, but a decent person, who uses this thing to practice typing? It just let countless people's childhood come into contact with the era of the Red and White game console.
Regarding Silver Mink mice, wanting to cooperate with Quake games, Director Pei neither supports nor opposes it. But if it can increase the sales of Silver Mink mice and earn back more foreign exchange, then the Foreign Exchange Department definitely supports it.
"However, I heard that some departments do not quite agree with introducing Quake games into China for sale, and they also have opinions on holding game competitions!" He Heng said to his old leader.
"Why?" Director Pei asked in surprise after hearing this.
"Some people are worried that after introducing games and competitions, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and it may affect the grades of some students, making some parents dissatisfied!" He Heng also said helplessly.
Director Pei was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Regarding things like electronic games, the attitude of government departments all over the world in this era is basically the same, all worried about causing unnecessary trouble.
Not to mention that China does not allow the introduction of certain games, foreign countries are even more restrictive about games.
Australia previously wanted to ban the sale of Li Dongling High-Tech's electronic pet machines, the reason being that many schools in Australia had fallen into the frenzy of electronic pet machines. Some Australian MPs proposed to ban the sale of this thing in Australia, but the craze for electronic pet machines faded too quickly, and now no one mentions it.
A few years later, places like England also used the excuse that the game scale was too large and worried about leading England astray, and once banned Grand Theft Auto, not allowing this game to be sold in England, until decades later, this game is also a restricted game in places like England.
"This matter still needs to be discussed more. In the things of this world, where is the reason to kill with one stick? Everyone knows the truth that blocking is not as good as dredging. Things like electronic games must definitely set up a charter. Relying on blocking alone, it is definitely impossible to block."
But that is a matter for the future. The Foreign Exchange Department cannot manage the affairs of the Radio and Television Bureau. But the matter of Silver Mink mice involves foreign exchange, so the Foreign Exchange Department definitely cannot not ask!
"Contact the Ministry of Economy and Trade, let that side take the lead, and let Silver Mink discuss with departments like Economy and Trade and Radio and Television. The Foreign Exchange Department definitely supports Silver Mink and Li Dongling High-Tech."
Director Pei said to He Heng. To say which departments and units in Yanjing are most concerned about Li Dongling High-Tech, the Foreign Exchange Department ranks second, and the Ministry of Economy and Trade definitely ranks first!
The Ministry of Economy and Trade's concern for Li Dongling High-Tech is far better than the Foreign Exchange Department. After all, the Foreign Exchange Department mainly focuses on foreign exchange. But for the Ministry of Economy and Trade, the revenue, employment positions, tax revenue, and Li Dongling High-Tech's component industry chain brought by Li Dongling High-Tech are all solid things for the Ministry of Economy and Trade, so how can they not be concerned.
Director Pei was also a veteran of many battles. Helping Li Dongling High-Tech resolve troubles also required attention to methods and approaches. Charging in head-on would be naive; not only would it fail to help, but it might also invite trouble.
To support Li Dongling High-Tech, you must also help a large group of units and institutions like Economy and Trade, Development and Reform, Radio and Television, Taxation, etc. After all, Li Dongling High-Tech can not only earn back foreign exchange, but these units and departments have also received a lot of political achievements from Li Dongling High-Tech!
The buttocks decide the head. Just like before, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau wanted to suppress Little Smart. Departments and units like Foreign Exchange, Economy and Trade, and Development and Reform immediately stood up to support the Little Smart business and mobile phones.
Does Director Pei not know the difficulties and pressures of the Post and Telecommunications side? Of course he knows, but the buttocks decide the head. The Foreign Exchange Department needs Little Smart to go overseas to earn back foreign exchange, so it must support Little Smart.
Similarly, departments like Economy and Trade, Development and Reform, and State Investment need the huge employment positions and tax revenue brought by Little Smart, so they must support Little Smart.
Besides, taking a step back, the Post and Telecommunications and its subordinate Telecom, Unicom, Mobile, and other companies want to engage in GSM and CDMA technology, which is definitely not wrong. But where does the dollar to buy technology, patents, and communication equipment from Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, and Qualcomm come from? It still has to be paid by the Foreign Exchange Department. How can the Foreign Exchange Department not intervene?
Hearing Director Pei's words, He Heng's heart relaxed. Regarding Li Dongling High-Tech, he definitely wants to support it. Even with his current position, he needs to maintain the relationship with Li Dongling High-Tech. This point is also crucial for He Heng who is in the Foreign Exchange Department!
"Compared to Silver Mink mice, Shenzhou U-disks performed even better overseas!"
"This information, the media has not reported it yet, but I estimate it will be soon. Next week, it should not be a problem for Shenzhou U-disks to break 1 million units in overseas sales!"
Looking at the information brought by He Heng, even Director Pei, who has seen many big scenes, couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Are you sure the news is correct?"
Director Pei raised his head and asked He Heng. The news above cannot help but make him ask one more question. After getting 90,000 units of sales on the first day from America, Shenzhou U-disks blasted through 177,000 units of sales worldwide on that day, and single-day revenue broke 11.7 million dollars.
Although it was only that day, on the second day, Shenzhou U-disks inevitably saw a decline in sales in America.
But as long as they can stabilize at around 50,000 units of U-disk sales per day in America, coupled with markets like China, Canada, old Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc., Shenzhou U-disks are expected to stabilize at around 100,000 units per day in the future for a certain period of time.
If they can maintain such sales, then Li Dongling High-Tech is equivalent to having another chicken that lays golden eggs. The foreign exchange earned back from overseas is not worse than the digital cordless phone that is expected to earn 1.7 billion dollars in revenue for Li Dongling High-Tech this year!
"The Ministry of Economy and Trade and the Customs Administration estimate that the information they got is much more detailed than mine!" He Heng said with a smile.
Director Pei nodded. He also knows that it will be very difficult to maintain such sales. The Foreign Exchange Department is very concerned about Li Dongling High-Tech. Director Pei's understanding of Li Dongling High-Tech is much clearer than the outside world. He also knows that in the future, with the appearance of other U-disk brands, the sales of Shenzhou U-disks will definitely not be able to maintain such high sales.
In the previous life, domestic U-disks, after a period of high profit, domestic manufacturers started a price war to snatch the market. The selling price of U-disks dropped from 500 all the way to over 100, and even fell below 100.
This is indeed a good thing for buyers, but for the entire domestic U-disk industry, whether it is good or bad is hard to say.
It seems that domestic U-disk brands have indeed snatched the market by relying on low prices, and even earned foreign exchange through exports.
But after the short carnival, the direct consequence is that domestic brands, including Netac, lost the high-end U-disk market because of the price war, and had no money to engage in R&D. Finally, the global mid-to-high-end U-disk market, including domestic ones, was snatched away by manufacturers in Japan, America, and South Korea.
But regardless, this information still made Director Pei quite happy. After looking at it for a few eyes, he put the information down.
"Old He," Director Pei stood up and was about to go out, when he seemed to say to He Heng inadvertently, "You have done a good job during this period, and you have also put your heart into it. News has come down from the ministry that there may be departments looking for you to talk in a while. You must be mentally prepared!"
After saying this, without waiting for He Heng to speak, Director Pei walked out with his hands behind his back, leaving He Heng stunned in place.
He Heng was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. At this time, his heart was mixed with five flavors. He originally thought that in this life, he might have reached the end in his current position and could only wait for retirement. But now, it seems that a ladder to climb up has appeared in front of him.
"Welcome to watch the variety talent show Super Girl jointly held by Hanxi TV Station, United State Media, and Branching Media!

After Li Li Dongling pushed open the door of the courtyard room behind Li Dongling High-Tech headquarters, what he heard in the living room was the host reporting a long string of advertising sponsors without even taking a breath, reporting the names of nearly twenty sponsors in one breath.
