However, to the boss' relief, Boss Jia had no intention of bidding. After waiting for a full 30 seconds, the host had no choice but to start hammering. In the end, Confucius Family Banquet Wine won the top bid of the first Central TV bidding conference with a price of 31.05 million yuan.
In history, the only company that had won this bidding conference was Confucius Family Banquet Wine. After this company won Central TV's bid king, they had sold 1 billion yuan worth of wine in just one year.
Due to the impressive results of the Confucius Family Banquet, the next year's auction was once again sold at a sky-high price.
Of course, this was all in the future. As the host slammed down the gavel, the first Central TV Bidding Conference came to an end. In the end, a total of 200 million yuan of advertising revenue was sold, making the Bidding Conference the beginning of a legend.
But Boss Jia's actions were very confusing to others. If Boss Jia was not interested in this tender, he should not have appeared at the tender. However, since Boss Jia had actually appeared at the venue, it was obvious that he was interested in the King of Bids. How could he give up without even shouting out a price?
Could it be that the rumors were true? The Daqian might be the richest man in Hua Xia, but their cash flow was close to collapse. If not, the Daqian would not put their entire company on the line. It was very risky to get a loan of 10 billion RMB from the bank.
Recently, there were a few financial magazines that focused on foreign financial news. They published the entire story of Boss Jia's participation in the Fusang TV program. The article analyzed the fierce competition between the Daqian and Sony. At the same time, the article also showed that the Daqian had sold at least 10 million VCD players in Fusang.
This number shocked all the entrepreneurs in China. No wonder the Daqian had chosen to give up the Chinese market and let the Chinese VCD players do whatever they want. The Daqian had gone to the overseas market.
All the entrepreneurs in China were impressed by the Daqian's actions. The Daqian had given up on competing with them in the Chinese market. This was equivalent to giving up their source of income. Most importantly, the Daqian had the ability to earn money from foreigners. They had sold their products from the poor Hua Xia to the more developed Fusang and the United States. This was the idol of many entrepreneurs!
But after looking into the details, the Chinese were shocked to find out that these VCD players were sold in installments. The total price was 300,000 Yen, which was equivalent to 12,000 RMB per VCD player. This was twice the price in China. But if the VCD players were to be paid in installments, it would consume a lot of funds. This amount of funds might take a few years to recover.
After calculating the cost, it was worth tens of billions of yuan. Because of this, the Great Qian Society had exhausted all of its funds, causing the capital chain to break. It was only natural that they had to rely on loans to solve the emergency.
Therefore, when Boss Jia appeared and gave up on bidding this time, it made many bosses in the country speculate. Perhaps Da Qian, which seemed to be in full swing, would fall in an instant!
These bosses' thoughts were not wrong. But this had nothing to do with Boss Jia's appearance. The reason why Boss Jia did not participate in the auction was because there was no need for advertisements in 1995. The Daqian did not have a big marketing plan in China. The Daqian's development strategy in 1995 was still in Fusang and the United States. The Chinese products could be maintained as they were.
As for the reason why Boss Jia appeared at the bidding site even though he clearly had no interest in it, it was completely out of his personal interest. He was very curious about what the legendary Central TV Bid King would look like.
Now that he had seen it, Boss Jia could leave.
But someone did not intend to let Boss Jia leave. When Boss Jia was about to leave, a man suddenly rushed in front of Boss Jia. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Jia. Can I take a few minutes of your time?"
"Who are you?" Boss Jia looked at the man curiously. He seemed to be familiar with him.
"Hello, my name is Hu Zhibiao!" Boss Jia nodded and said with a smile, "I know you. You are the boss of Aiduo VCD Player!" "That's right.
"Mr. Jia, you know me!" When Hu Zhibiao heard Jia Yapeng call out his name, he was extremely surprised. He really didn't expect Jia Yapeng to know his identity and name.
"Of course. You are a very good competitor. Of course I know you!" Boss Jia patted Hu Zhibiao's shoulder with a smile. Hu Zhibiao was touched and proud. So the richest man in Hua Xia remembered me. This is so exciting!
Because of Boss Jia's words, Hu Zhibiao felt that his status in life had changed. Especially when Boss Jia saw more and more people looking at them curiously, he smiled and invited Hu Zhibiao to a nearby hotel for a chat. Hu Zhibiao felt for the first time that he might really be a rich man.
"Say it. What do you want from me?" Boss Jia asked with a smile after they sat down in the hotel.
"Mr. Jia, I want to order a VCD decoder chip from you. I don't know if you are willing to do that!" Hu Zhibiao looked at Jia Yapeng nervously and worriedly, waiting for Jia Yapeng's decision.
"You want to order a VCD decoder chip from me? How do you know that the Daqian can produce a decoder chip? " Boss Jia looked at Hu Zhibiao in surprise. Although the Daqian could produce a VCD decoder chip more than a month ago, it was still a secret. Other than the people in the Tian Xing Machinery Factory, even the people in the Daqian internal department did not know that the Daqian VCD decoder chip that they were assembling day and night was actually produced by the Daqian themselves.
Now, there was a rumor going around that these chips were supplied to the Daqian by Toshiba. Although Toshiba had denied this rumor many times, saying that it was made up out of nothing, the more they denied it, the more it seemed to be true.
So, Boss Jia did not expect that Hu Zhibiao had seen through the truth and came to him to order a VCD decoder chip from him! Just based on this, Hu Zhibiao was indeed the man in history who sold the Aiduo VCD players all over the country. He was indeed capable.
"It seems like Mr. Jia admitted it!" Hu Zhibiao smiled. "Actually, it is very simple. We have already contacted Toshiba, and Toshiba has already provided us with a batch of unmarked chips. But these decoder chips are completely different from the ones in the Daqian VCD players. They are not even produced by the same factory!"
"I see!" Boss Jia nodded. "But this does not mean that the chips are produced by me. What if Toshiba supplied us with different products, or I ordered from other companies?"
"It is impossible for other companies to supply us with decoder chips. After Mr. Jia sold all my chips, I went around the world for two months. Other than Toshiba, I could not find another company that can supply us with decoder chips. As for why I am sure that your chip is different from Toshiba's, it is because we have tested both chips. We found out that the VCD chip used by Da Qian is much better than Toshiba and Sony's chip in terms of decoding speed and image quality. Its computing power is about 2 times higher than theirs. I don't think that Sony and Toshiba will refuse to use such an advanced decoding chip in their VCD players. They will give it to Da Qian first! "Hu Zhibiao smiled bitterly.
