Chapter 689: Believe in the Power of Money!
In the next moment, Wu Maocai blurted out: "Midea! Huawei!"
"How do you see that?"
Fang Chen glanced at Wu Maocai in surprise, Huawei and Midea are indeed the two companies he has contacted in recent years, and the two companies with the best future development.
But I don't know if Wu Maocai is a blind cat who has met a dead mouse, or does he really have any insight?
Seeing Fang Chen praising him, Wu Maocai was a little embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head and said: "I see it all from you, to say that you have also acquired and invested in many companies, but the most important of them is Huawei." ”
"As for the United States, it is because of their boss, He Jianxiang is smart enough, he knows that he will pull you in, give you shares, and give benefits, with such a smart boss, the development of Midea will definitely be bad. ”
"This is also the reason why I think Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng can't make it to the climate, you take the initiative to give them benefits, they still don't appreciate it, it's just a dog biting Lu Dongbin, they don't know the hearts of good people, and even make bad noise, they will make up bad things about you behind your back. Wu Maocai said angrily.
He remembered that when Jiu Ye mentioned VCD yesterday, he said that this project was done well, and it even had a future than the current Xiaobawang.
Such a project gave Jiang Wanmeng nearly 20% of the shares, and they were still not satisfied, it was really unreasonable, it was right to thunder and split that day.
You must know that even Lao Duan, an old scalper who has made great contributions to the ninth master, does not have any shares in the company.
Hearing Wu Maocai say this, Fang Chen was really a little crying and laughing, co-authoring, knowing that the one who gave him shares was able to become a climate, and if he didn't want to send shares, he just couldn't become a climate, how could there be such a way of judging in the world.
But I have to say that it's quite accurate.
Could it be that this is the legend, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths?
Fang Chen fell into deep doubt.
Suddenly, the phone in the room rang, Wu Mao picked up the phone and listened, then handed the phone to Fang Chen and said, "Mr. Duan." ”
Fang Chen chuckled, Lao Duan is quite interested in VCD, it is now two o'clock in the afternoon of American time, and if you are in China, it will be two o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he heard Fang Chen's voice, Duan Yongping couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Fang, how is the VCD matter discussed, Director Jiang, have they agreed?" ”
At twelve o'clock in the evening, he went to the factory to inspect the production of the night shift as usual, and then waited for Fang Chen's phone call until now, and saw that Fang Chen had not called him for a long time, so he couldn't help but call.
"It wasn't negotiated, they asked for too many shares. Fang Chen said calmly.
Duan Yong paused for a moment, and then comforted Fang Chen: "If you haven't negotiated, you haven't negotiated, don't care, let's do it ourselves." ”
Hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but smile and shook his head, probably misunderstood, he really didn't care about Jiang Wanmang and them as much as Duan Yongping thought.
He admitted that Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng have a very high level of scientific research, and if they can join the new company, it will play a great role in promoting the progress and integrity of product research and development.
With the participation of two people, the launch of VCD will definitely be several months ahead of Xiaobawang's own organization of strength, and the follow-up product development and upgrade will be much faster, which can definitely ensure their continued leadership in the VCD field.
But in his opinion, the 16 percent shares allocated to these two people are already the most, and no matter how high it is, it is not worth it, after all, even if there are only 16 percent of the shares, it will be worth at least 3 billion yuan in the future.
Well, that's right, it's a distribution, in addition to the seven percent of the technical shares, Fang Chen feels that the remaining nine percent of the shares are also distributed by him to the two of them.
Looking at him, does he look like a person who lacks the 20 million dollars in equity funds?
I didn't see Liu Yuanjun and they took the money to the pole and wanted to take a stake in Xiaobawang, but he didn't agree.
Although the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Jiang Wanmang and the others took out 20 million US dollars, instead of 17 million US dollars as he expected, but he could barely bear about 2 percent of the shares, but he couldn't bear more than 30 percent of the shares, not to mention that the two of them still wanted to meddle in the company's operation and management.
Moreover, not to mention 30% of the shares, that is, the value of these 16% shares, how many scientific researchers can he recruit to participate in the research and development of VCD?
No matter what, it will not play a smaller role than Jiang Wanmeng.
"Then how much do you plan to invest in the VCD project?" Duan Yongping asked.
He also wants to open it now, if it's gone, it's gone, which should even be a good thing for Xiaobawang, with Jiang Wanmang, not to mention the need to open a new company, but the management is definitely not as convenient as Xiaobawang's own wholly-owned subsidiary.
Besides, how much role Jiang Wanmeng and the others can play in the company, he just listened to what Fang Chen said, and what it actually looks like is really not necessarily.
"1300 million to 1500 million, or even more than 200 million in the end, is acceptable. Fang Chen said.
Duan Yongping was immediately shocked.
After a long time, he said with a sad face: "Mr. Fang, this ...... That's a bit too much. ”
A project with a maximum investment of 200 million, is this project made of gold?
You must know that the current Xiaobawang, the cost of a year, is just so much money.
But this is the scale that Xiaobawang has developed after two years, a project that even the product still stays in the mind, and the market is not there, how can it spend so much money?
Wu Maocai felt a little dizzy, a little confused, how Fang Chen could suddenly pop up to such a figure as two billion, after all, when he talked to Jiang Wanmang and them this morning, he was talking about investing 800 million.
It's good now, it's doubled.
Seeing this, Fang Chen chuckled, the minimum investment of two billion was his true idea, but he was afraid that after saying it, he would be scared to death with Duan Yongping's instigation, so he said 1.3 billion to 1.5 billion, with a maximum of 2 billion.
This is also the reason why he thinks that Jiang Wanmang's 16% shares are the reason why he allocated them to them, and this morning's figure of 800 million is just a figure he calculated based on Jiang Wanmang's financial resources.
If Jiang Wanmang and they have 40 million in their pockets, then he will say that the investment amount is 160 million, anyway, he will give them about 16 percent of the shares.
"If it's just for making VCD players, that's a lot. Fang Chen said with a smile.
In his previous life, Jiang Wanmeng and the two of them researched the VCD with R&D funds of 16 million US dollars, that is, 90 million Huaxia coins, and although he did not have Jiang Wanmeng and Sun Yansheng, he was rich.
He threw more than twice the money, that is, 200 million Huaxia coins, how can this VCD be developed, maybe it will be a little earlier than Jiang Wanmang's VCD!
Believe in the power of money!
"You know a lot, too. Duan Yongping said stupidly.
"If you add the promotion costs, it will be almost another two or three hundred million, and the early stage will be enough. ”
Although in the previous life, in 1997 alone, Aiduo VCD spent 210 million on advertising in order to compete for the CCTV standard, and the entire VCD industry paid at least more than 2 billion in advertising expenses.
But in the early days, there were two or three hundred million, and Fang Chen felt that it was enough to let users, distributors, producers and publishing houses know what VCD was, forming a preliminary ecological environment.
After all, the strength of the sales team, Xiaobawang is very sufficient, and there is no need to start from scratch and establish little by little like Wan Yan.
It can be regarded as exercising the sales team, with the full opening of the sales channel of the learning machine in China, the sales staff of Xiaobawang has a bit of the meaning of putting Nanshan in the country, and if they don't take it out and use it, it will rust if they don't get it right.
Hearing this, Duan Yongping finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Even according to your algorithm, four or five billion funds are about the same, and there is no reason to say that you can invest up to two hundred million." ”
Fang Chen smiled slightly, and said easily: "If I want to establish a VCD disc factory, and establish a VCD CD, from copyright purchase to distribution and sales, then?"
"Are you going to do the work of the record company, the movie company, and the TV drama company?" Duan Yongping said a little speechlessly.
"That's not it, we only care about the CD, what singers, composers, lyrics, actors, directors, shooting, we don't do. An inexplicable glint flashed in Fang Chen's eyes.
From the popularity of VCD, that is, the popularity of optical discs, to the era of CVD and DVD, the various optical discs produced and sold in China are conservatively estimated to be at least two or three billion copies.
But in Huaxia, the first place in record sales is just the singer Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye", 1.36 million copies, and most of these sales are completed in Wanwan and Xiangjiang, and the record sales in the mainland are not expected to exceed 100,000 copies, or even only 350,000, Fang Chen is not surprised.
After all, in the mainland, a record with more than 40,000 sales can be called a platinum record.
In Europe and the United States, the number one record seller is Michael Jackson's "Thriller", which has 47.3 million copies.
47.3 million and 1.36 million, this is a world of difference.
And the certification of platinum records is also very interesting, the United States is 1 million, the United Kingdom is 300,000, the East is 250,000, Germany is 200,000, the mainland is 40,000, Wanwan and Xiangjiang are 30,000.
As can be seen from the above, the certification threshold for platinum records is mainly determined by the population of each country, each region, and economic conditions, the more the population, the higher the economic conditions, the higher the certification threshold for platinum records.
Wanwan and Treasure Island are relatively small, and 30,000 sales can reach the platinum certification, which is fine, but why has the mainland also fallen to the point of being similar to the two?
