"The preliminary promotion effect of dealers in various countries and the demand for goods during the Christmas season have been counted. Boss, please take a look at it yourself."

One day in early November, Gu Ao moved to California for several days and finally confirmed the series of cases between Xiangjidian and Wang An and Apple. After the overall situation was settled, he finally wanted to go back to Kangzhou to see his wife and children and care about his family.

Before leaving, Wang An Computer CEO, John Chambers, who was about to become CEO, showed Gu Ao the latest developments in Wang An's WPS computers with an excited and pleasing look.

After all, Wang An is an old brand in the field of personal computers in the United States for more than ten years. Even without Gu Ao's extra support, Chambers himself can compete with Jobs with excellent products.

Even according to Apple's optimistic deduction in advance, Apple has an advantage in occupying the fields of users of novice users and graphic designers. In the white-collar market for document office, Wang An still has an absolute advantage.

Other people's document processing software is easier to use than you, the price is cheaper than you, and the brand image is more business-oriented than you, so why is it not as good as you?

It can even be said that if Wang An himself is still healthy and can personally capture the products and market, then Wang An WPS can continue to suppress Apple's MAC-II with obvious advantages.

After replacing Wang An with Chambers, although Chambers himself was still capable, he did not have Wang An's prestige and did not have the support of Wang An's personal brand's confidence in consumers, so he retreated to the competition with Apple's 55.

After all, the brand of Wang An was almost inseparable from Wang An before that. People are brands and confidence. In the post-Wang An era, Gu Ao would make the confidence of this brand get rid of its dependence on Wang An, and make the smooth transition in the process of almost losing influence.

However, Gu Ao also used his off-site resources to prove his power from Xiangjidian to Tiankun to Wang'an's large ecosystem.

After this battle, even the brainless fan who was originally the most loyal and stubborn to Wang An himself was now completely convinced by Gu Ao, the new owner.

Everyone believes that Gu Ao's arrival is the will of heaven, destiny, and a mysterious force in the dark to help Wang An's company survive and achieve the second round of rebirth.

Gu Aozhi looked at John Chambers' report with satisfaction but not proudly, and was slightly surprised: "In the US market alone, it is expected that 290,000 units will be shipped by the end of the year-end birthday season? That's very good. In addition, as of now, the total scale will be approaching 500,000 units.

When I made the plan, I remember saying that at least 1 million units were shipped throughout the year, which was a big goal. Now, after only four months of the sale this year, it will be close to 500,000, which is a great congratulations.”

Chambers smiled and explained excitedly: "The last few months of the second half of the year will definitely be higher than the first half of the year, especially in November and December, when official agencies suddenly launched a large market for office equipment purchases.

Currently, Apple has driven away, and other closed-system computer brands are far from us in terms of new features. They naturally buy ours if they want to buy high-end and good products.

In summary, there are hundreds of counties in the United States. If there is a need to update computers, we bought ours. There are only tens of thousands of units alone. If we count the equipment from other dispatched agencies, it will be easy to exceed 100,000."

Gu Ao nodded and continued to look down.

Judging from the report, Tiankun Channel opened the way and helped Wang An’s plan to lay goods was also very smooth in Japan, and the European side was slightly worse.

It is expected that Japan's shipments in the fourth quarter will exceed 100,000 units in the public market alone, and there are also private purchase demands of tens of thousands of units. In order to cater to Japan, Gu Ao also specially made customized versions on Japanese supply, bought WPS computers, and also gave several transplanted versions of Tiankun PS exclusive game masterpieces.

In 1988, it was not very popular on the market to play games on computers, and they didn’t even have the habit of mine-sweeping and card-playing. Many of them were text adventures and puzzle-solving games. In order to transplant, Gu Ao also made many studios in Tiankun spend a lot of energy and selected some high-quality products suitable for keyboard and mouse operations.

Of course, in this process, Wang'an Computer Company also wants to give Tiankun Entertainment money, and this money will eventually be given to the specific game development studio.

Although Gu Ao is the company controlled by the largest shareholder, the internal accounts must be clearly calculated and cannot take advantage of it, as that would be very harmful.

In total, in 1988, the total demand for goods from Japanese dealers reached 150,000 units, which was already very strong compared to the US market with a total shipment of 470,000 units.

The whole European market is not as good as the Japanese market. Dealers demand a total of 130,000 units, which is related to the fact that Tiankun’s gaming consoles perform worse than Japan in Europe. Dealers’ channel penetration is not strong enough.

In the Chinese market, due to Gu Ao's background and previous demonstrations of kindness and support to the Wang An Group, although only a very small number of agencies that could afford to buy office computers, they basically chose Wang An WPS as long as there is a demand. For this reason, Gu Ao also allocated some Chinese studios to do localized research and development at the Qiantang R&D center, which cost the price to do localized research and development, such as Chinese content, adding font files and Chinese cards.

In addition, there are some third-world countries that do not care about channels and do not have a distributor management system. They are sold out in a scattered manner. Wang'an Company cannot track where these things are sold. In total, they only have a scale of tens of thousands of units.

It may be used as a newly purchased office computer by many third-world state organs. Maybe it was sold by middlemen after raising prices and making changes. Such machines cannot be managed after-sales service.

In the end, Wang'an Company expected to achieve a total of 840,000 WPS computers shipped in 1988. This number was only realized in just over four months.

Compared with the previous goal of "maintaining an absolute advantage over Apple" that "annual shipment of 1 million yuan" is over-complete.

The basic price of each computer is close to US$2,000. With seven or eight-eight-eight application software sales, an average of one computer sells additional software of six or seven hundred dollars, and the total sales revenue of WPS computers reached US$2.4 billion.

In history, in 1986, when Wang'an's peak period, the company's total sales exceeded US$4 billion, but that was already the peak year and it was also the last glory before Wang'an himself suffered from cancer.

In the following two years, due to the incompetence of his son Wang Lie, his performance has been falling. Coupled with the impact of the stock market crash, before being privatized and delisted by Gu Ao in 1987, the total sales in the first 10 months were only US$2.2 billion, a drop of half from 1986.

In the first eight months of 1988, before the emergence of the new WPS computer product, Wang'an's company relied on selling old products or selling application software in the existing machine market. The sales volume was lower than the same period in 1987, with a total sales of only US$1.3 billion in 8 months.

As a result, after the 2.4 billion sales in the last four months were injected into it, the entire company survived the pain of product replacement and was full of vitality. The total annual sales exceeded US$4 billion again, tying Wang An's peak state before cancer.

(1.3 billion plus 2.4 billion is 3.7 billion, but in the last four months, Wang An's old products' software sales business was still operating, and that part continued to provide sales of 300 million to 400 million, so the total amount exceeded 4 billion. The aforementioned 2.4 billion refers only to the related sales of WPS computers, and does not count the sales of old products in the past few months.)

Although the relevant data did not form the disclosure of the report immediately - in fact, Wang'an Computer is now a delisted company and has no obligation to disclose it to the public.

However, Wall Street's eyes are bright, and some analysts will always notice the changes in this immediately, and then write special commentary articles and data analysis.

Therefore, Wang'an's company's performance has immediately appeared on the important page of the Wall Street Journal.

"Gu Ao entered Wang An and made a magical reversal from the dead."

"After two years of trough, Wang An Computer regained his life and returned to the computer company club with an annual sales of US$4 billion."

For a moment, countless people in the circle of investors on Wall Street were stunned and beat their chests and stamped their feet and regretted them.

"Damn! How could I be so lard that I was so confused during the stock market crash last year? I followed the trend and sold all the stocks of Wang An Computer? At that time, the stock price fell to only 30% of the year at the beginning of 1986! If I had been holding it until now and my performance returned to the peak, wouldn't I be able to get out of the original price?"

"It's a big deal! Nasdaq is indeed a scam that sells concepts! Companies that make money all use different ways to fake and delist, and do not give retail investors the opportunity to share benefits! What are left behind are promising and have no profit yet!

I will die outside in my life, jumping off the roof of the New York Stock Exchange building and commit suicide! I will never buy another Nasdaq stock! Whoever buys Shabi is all bubble!"

Such vicious remarks flooded Manhattan.

Of course, in the face of this rough and intuitive social anger, calm down a little, and the sarcastic remarks are not a small number.

"Do you think you're going to be able to stand up until Wang An is over this year? Gu Ao is either doing charity or is rushing to Wang An's value depression, and then he feels that he has rescue value. If Wang An's shares are still in the hands of you idiots who have no resources, they might be really dead!

There is no value, so Gu Ao didn't come to rescue Wang An. He started his own business and slowly entered the computer industry. Why do you get a bargain?"

Those who think they are winning are probably nothing to say when they are criticized like this.

Although everyone knows that the very few people who are determined to be the last one are now following Gu Aoxian and the chickens and dogs. But if everyone was so determined, Wang An might have died long ago. It is precisely because most people are not firm that Gu Ao took action.

This is a general trend that cannot be changed.

Soon, the urban legend hot topics discussed by retail investors in Manhattan changed from being snatched and regretful to saying enviously and hatefully, "I heard that so-and-so is really a fool, and when Citibank's debt-to-equity conversion could not hold back, he still held Wang An's stocks. As a result, I heard that this year's dividend accounted for more than a percentage of the bottom price last year. This is equivalent to having to spend four or five years on the hands, and the capital will be back without selling stocks!"

Of course, the accounts cannot be calculated like this, because the gossip always compares the most extreme and bad data, only watching the thief eat meat, not remembering the thief being beaten. However, this legend has really made the wave of envy, jealousy and hatred spread.

Follow Mr. Gu and have some meat to eat.
