Lin Ping found a marketing method that can quickly expand sales.

After turning on the computer again, Lin Ping added a 10-digit password composed of numbers and letters after the final boss of "Contra" and "Squirrel Battle" fell to the ground.

After finishing it, I walked towards the electronic game club with my computer.

At this time, the electronic game club was already empty. After Lin Ping sneaked in quietly, he connected to the local area network composed of four Apple computers with his laptop, and then transmitted the game.

After transmitting to the computer via the LAN, Lin Ping copied all the games he had just transferred on the floppy disk and deleted the backup from the Apple computer.

After doing all this, Lin Ping took these things back to the dormitory to take a break.

This sleep was directly slept until lunch time. If someone hadn't knocked on the door wildly, Lin Ping might have even slept until one or two o'clock.

Lin Ping opened the door in a daze. It turned out to be Dabolin Jiang!

"This is the price given after the meeting of the Fourth Machinery Department. Please see if there is any problem. If there is no problem, the leader will ask us to go to the Fourth Machinery Department to sign a procurement contract now." Lin Jiang said as he took out a red-headed letter paper with the Fourth Machinery Department printed on it.

"8086 chip costs 45 yuan per piece, PPU physical computing chip costs 25 yuan per piece, RAM4KB capacity chip costs 25 yuan per piece, ROM4KB capacity chip costs 25 yuan per piece, ROM8KB capacity 45 yuan per piece, audio actual computing chip costs 15 yuan, circuit board costs 5 yuan per piece..." Lin Ping silently calculated while looking.

The entire procurement contract is calculated based on the purchase volume of the order of 10 million. For the four machine departments, this has been squeezed to the minimum limit.

If you follow this contract, you will include capacitors, resistors, diodes, various connectors, wires, casing molds, transformers, video cables, foam packaging and carton packaging, instructions.

Even foreign countries need to be equipped with conversion plugs that meet various countries. This complete set does not count the shipping costs and manual assembly costs of each material, and the free gift of five games has reached a cost of 198 yuan.

A "Super Mary" has a capacity of 32KB and requires 4 8KB capacity chips to store game content. Including the circuit board of the game cassette and the labor cost of the plastic packaging shell, the small cassette cost only 185 yuan, which is comparable to the price of a game console.

"Piracy games kill people!" Lin Ping complained powerlessly!

A 999-in-1 game cartridge costs only 20 yuan.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the domestic technology upgrade too slowly. Foreign countries have already appeared 64K chips last year. If there is such technology in China, then the 8K chips must be priced at a bargain. And the 8KB capacity chips we have obtained now are new technologies that have just begun mass production.

Should we increase the overall price or just give away one game for free?

The price is too high, obviously ordinary users can't afford it.

Helplessly, Lin Ping had to cut the number of games given away by four, and now he only gave away "Super Mary"!

The price remains at $200, and this price is almost the same as Nintendo's price back then.

The price is US$200, which is equivalent to RMB 1,000.

After deducting taxes, advertising expenses, sales channels, etc., the net profit that Lin Ping can get is RMB 500, which means that each Lin Ping can earn US$100 for each unit sold.

"The price is fair. Let's go to the Fourth Machinery Department." After a simple washing, Lin Ping took a bus to the Fourth Machinery Department.

Just one day apart, the atmosphere here is completely different.

Yesterday people could clearly feel that this place was full of confusion, despair, and fear of the future.

But just one day later, everyone's face was filled with a faint smile.

When Lin Ping and Lin Jiang appeared, these people seemed to know Lin Ping, and everyone cast a eager look at him.

"Is it him?" Someone in the crowd whispered to ask his companions around him.

"I don't know, but it's right that Lin Jiang is by his side!" Everyone didn't know Lin Ping, but they knew that the person around him was Lin Jiang, and the person Lin Jiang must be the one who brought him must be him.

"It was this person who convinced General Motors and the First Machinery Department to choose a joint venture. I heard that the negotiations have now entered a critical moment." Someone told the inside story that others didn't know.

"So it was him? I heard that he was a university professor in the history department, but I didn't expect to be so young. I have to say that he was really young and promising. Lin Changsheng has such a good grandson, which is really envious of others." Looking at other people's grandsons, young but so capable, many old factory managers present couldn't help but think of their grandchildren.

Just thinking that the difference between the same generation is so big, it makes people feel a little powerless from the bottom of their hearts.

"At such a young age, there will be no recurrence in this matter, right?" Looking at Lin Ping, who was so young, a feeling of anxiety arose in his heart for a cautious person.

"Who can't believe that yesterday we were asking the Fourth Machinery Department to distribute orders to the fourth machine department but we were unable to do so, but now the Fourth Machinery Department requires us to expand our production capacity. Each factory manager must make a military order to complete the order on time according to quality, quantity and time. God, don't joke, we really can't bear such a fright! I don't care who this young man is, as long as we can get orders from our factory, we will be satisfied." For most people, it doesn't matter who Lin Ping is, what is important is that they can have a steady stream of orders.

However, not all manufacturers can provide the purchase list required by Lin Ping.

The people who could not get the orders on the scene looked ugly. Although the leaders of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery gave favorable policies during the meeting today, not everyone could use this policy.

If an electronics factory with good efficiency wants to convert production from a bank loan and produce the components needed by Lin Ping, in principle, the Fourth Machinery Department is willing to guarantee a loan for an electronics factory with good efficiency and willingness to convert production.

And the remaining electronic factories that have poor performance and are not listed in Linping’s procurement may be abandoned.

Lin Ping quickly met with the leaders, but what surprised Lin Ping was that there was actually a leader of the Investment and Merchants Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce, and the leaders of the Foreign Exchange Administration also appeared in this room.

After some greetings, Lin Ping went straight to the topic.

"I can barely accept the price, but we have to add several terms to the contract. Whenever the purchase volume reaches 1 million, we will settle the account. When a new round of purchase volume of 1 million, we will pay a 20% deposit first.

After all the 10 million purchases are fulfilled, we hope to renegotiate the price. In addition, we must agree in the contract that each unit must ensure that it will take out 20% of the profit for research and development after making a profit.

The electronic components we purchase in the future will be higher and higher. If you fail to meet our requirements, you will still fool us with those outdated products, and we will guarantee that you will not use money to buy these outdated things.

In addition, all electronic components produced by manufacturers must be delivered to your door. Deputy Director Lin will contact you." The reason why Lin Ping insisted on staying in China was to allow these manufacturers to make money collectively and then carry out research and development collectively.

Only by making money from the market can you freely engage in research and development, rather than waiting for funding from superiors for every project.

Lin Ping clearly remembers that during the honeymoon period in China, the Fourth Machinery Department wanted to introduce the most advanced production line. At that time, the other side of the ocean, he gave a 100% confirmation reply, and he could buy this most advanced production line by paying money.

This was a very good thing, which could instantly narrow the gap between the domestic semiconductor industry and the top foreign technologies.

But there were endless arguments, meetings, and inspections. When this production line was launched in China, it was already 7 years later.

In the semiconductor field, the consumer market will not give you so much time.

The final result was that he spent a lot of money but bought backward equipment, and was eliminated directly in less than two years of production.

At this time, if each electronics factory has plenty of cash in hand, then they can follow the market's pulse independently, and they will develop and produce whatever the market needs.
