Chapter 1047: Is Fang Chen here to do charity?
Jiang Wanmeng was completely confused at this time, and he didn't know why Fang Chen wanted to build such a giant disc production plant with an annual output of 100 million CDs.
Can a DVD player be able to use so many discs?
Even if he sells 300,000 DVD players, which is 10 times the total amount of the DVD player market he estimates this year, how many CDs can he buy even if he is a 300,000 DVD player user?
On average, ten or twenty per user, that's about the same.
After all, CDs are not a cheap thing, and if you buy too much, even the original 10,000 yuan households can't afford it.
In order to make a disc for Wan Yan's DVD player, he asked the largest CD factory in China for a price, and the average engraved disc was 23 yuan, and at least 5,000 copies.
Otherwise, there is really no need for people to make a master for you.
If you add it up, if you give audio-visual companies, film studios, television publishers, audio-visual stores, and the like, basically the price of a CD is at least about 50 yuan.
And this is still a price that they Wanyan basically didn't earn a penny in order to promote the DVD player, and they had to post a lot of money to get a price.
According to this price, ten plates are 500 yuan, and 20 plates are 1,000 yuan.
Although the DVD player is expensive, it is a one-shot deal after all, and this disc is a bottomless pit, if you really want to buy it, hundreds or thousands of copies are possible.
But as soon as the thought turned, Jiang Wanmeng smiled self-deprecatingly, he was wrong just now, no one can really buy thousands of CDs.
Because there are no 1,000 film and television song discs with different contents in this world, after all, if you want to burn CDs, you need to get the authorization of audio and video companies, film studios, and TV stations.
It took him nine years and two tigers to put all his contacts in the radio and television industry for so many years, and he talked about the content of less than 300 CDs, and 80% of them were TV dramas.
There is such a thing as a TV series, an episode is a CD, and this TV series will have one or two discs.
In fact, when it was really calculated, he talked about the authorization of more than a dozen TV series and twenty or thirty movies.
Since there is none, then naturally no one can buy so many discs.
He believes that if you want to make the number of CDs really increase and popularize among the general public, you still have to wait for those pirates to take action.
After all, there is no pressure on pirates to authorize, and they don't have to split the bills with any publishers.
In this way, it is natural to engrave any disc you want, and the price will be very low.
However, to get pirates to notice the potential of the disc market, they have to wait until enough people buy DVD players.
Only if the market is large enough and profitable enough will pirates get involved in the disc market.
And if there are more CDs sold, then there will naturally be more CD factories, and when the time comes, the price of CD-ROMs will definitely be reduced, and the Chinese people will be able to talk about the freedom of CDs.
Although this is a very despicable idea, but there is really no way, in his opinion, if you want the Chinese people to really afford to use the DVD player, there are enough CDs to use, you can only count on these pirates with zero knowledge cost.
Otherwise, all the relevant links, peeled off layer by layer, can this disc not be expensive?
The price of discs is too expensive, which will inevitably affect the sales of DVD players.
Besides, doesn't he want pirates to appear on the CD, so that the pirates can not appear on the CD?
Impossible!
The problem of pirates can be solved.
But in the end, he still didn't know why Fang Chen built a disc factory, or that big disc factory.
Is it to bring down the price of discs?
But it seems that it is impossible to build the world's largest optical disc factory capable of producing 100 million optical discs.
Based on the sales of DVD players, the sales of CDs can reach five or six million copies a year, and they are already burning incense.
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
Or, from beginning to end, he actually didn't understand what Fang Chen was going to do, and what his purpose was?
"In addition, I have also reached cooperation with Xiangjiang's Shaw Brothers Film Company, Xiang Brothers Film Company, TVB, Asia Television and other four strongest and most well-known film and television groups, and obtained all the film and television song copyrights of these four. Fang Chen said.
Hearing this, the audience exclaimed, louder than Fang Chen's previous desire to add the game function to the DVD player!
The four film and television groups, Shaw Brothers Film Company, Xiang Brothers Film Company, TVB, and Asia Television are not only familiar, but should be described by idioms such as household names and thunderous ears.
Everyone here, who has not watched the movies and TV series of these film and television groups, and has never heard their songs.
To put it mildly, the theme song "Iron Blood Pill Heart" in the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can basically be hummed by more than 80% of people.
No way, I don't know how many times I've watched the replay.
It's just that they really didn't expect that Fang Chen would be able to negotiate the copyright of the film and television songs of these four Xiangjiang and even Asian film and television giants.
However, now they have some understanding why Andy Lau will shoot a video to demonstrate the singing function of the DynaSky DVD player.
With these four film and television companies in charge, what can Andy Lau do even if he doesn't want to?
Jiang Wanmeng bit his lip lightly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Fang Chen, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Fang Chen did what he wanted to do, but never did.
After all, Xiangjiang's movies and TV series are not only much better in quality than the domestic film and television market, but also have enough quantity.
I'm afraid even these film and television companies don't know how many movies and TV series they have made over the years.
But his own family knows his own affairs, and with his face, he may still be able to play a role or two in the mainland, but if he goes to Xiangjiang, I am afraid that he will not even have the opportunity to meet those Xiangjiang film and television tycoons.
So he didn't bring shame on himself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanmeng looked at Fang Chen with some envy and hatred.
At this time, he suddenly felt that it was really good to be rich and powerful like Fang Chen.
You can invest as much as you want in the product, since the DynaSky DVD player can be launched five months ahead of him, it proves that the investment in the DVD player is at least twice as much as his, or even more than twice as much, that is, two to three hundred million.
After all, it is not always easy to do things because there are many people, and many people tend to cancel each other out of their strength first, just as small creatures can lift objects larger than their own weight.
Not to mention that the Dynamomum DVD player has also developed so many functions that are more than their Wanyan DVD player, which also requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
And. If you want to build the world's largest optical disc factory, build the world's largest optical disc factory.
If you want the copyright of the film and television songs of the four film and television groups in Xiangjiang, you can ask for it, he doesn't care whether Fang Chen pays a lot of money or relies on face, but after all, these are all things he doesn't have.
He asked himself calmly, the biggest gap between himself and Fang Chen was probably in this money and power, at least in the DVD player.
And he believes that if he can get the film and television rights of these Xiangjiang Film and Television Group now, it will definitely be a huge boost to the sales of DVD players.
Perhaps, the DynaSky DVD player can really sell 500,000 units?
Thinking of this, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose from his heart, if he can sell 500,000 units this year, then sell more than 1 million units next year, and it is estimated that it will not be a big problem.
In this way, the three million chips of Qingtian can be almost digested.
Glancing at Jiang Wanmeng's extremely ugly face at this time, Fang Chen chuckled lightly and continued to everyone: "Now, I'm afraid that one of the things that everyone is most concerned about is what price Qingtian will sell the DVD player and CD, can everyone afford it?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they nodded subconsciously.
The price is naturally their main concern, if the price is too expensive, even movie, TV, song lovers, but also to consider their own purse bulging, especially whether the tigress can approve this funding.
"As the only DVD player in the world, Qingtian has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in the DVD player, I will reveal to you the number, the cost of the DVD player has been as high as ten figures, so the price will naturally be slightly higher, and not all families can consume the starting ...... for the time being."
When Fang Chen was talking on the stage, there were already people below who were counting with their fingers, how many tens were there, and when it was calculated to be one billion, everyone was shocked.
Is this DVD player made of gold, why is it so expensive for a billion!
Jiang Wanmeng also looked at Fang Chen with a puzzled expression, he had just estimated for Qingtian, the cost of two or three hundred million was almost there, but one billion, that would probably be nonsense, how could it be used so much, he only spent almost 100 million, and the mass production of this Wanyan DVD player was also in full swing.
But now, the big stone in his heart suddenly let go of a lot, since he has invested a billion in the DVD player, it is destined that the price of the Qingtian DVD player will not be too low, this is his opportunity.
Seeing the surprised and unbelievable faces below, Fang Chen smiled and didn't say anything more, could he tell these people that he spent another five or six hundred million in order to study the core components of the DVD player?
And five or six hundred million have not seen much of a result.
There is no way, although compared to the world, most of the things in Huaxia, whether they are in the soil or produced in factories, as long as Huaxia can make them, their costs will be far less than those in developed countries.
But only design, research and development are not necessarily such things.
There is no other reason, the level of science and technology is too poor, and what people can easily make, we have spent a lot of effort now, and we may not be able to make it.
And we also have to correct a concept, we are indeed a lot of people, but it does not mean that we have more scientific and technological talents than others, but at this time, compared with European and American countries, we are extremely scarce, whether master's degree, the number of doctors are far inferior to European and American countries, let alone the level.
That is to say, the input-output ratio of science and technology in China is actually smaller than that of Europe and the United States, but the saddest thing is that sometimes Fang Chen is rich, and he can't find relevant talents, especially top talents.
As a result, if you want to make something, the investment required will naturally increase.
Fortunately, however, this phenomenon has been improved in later generations, and we are catching up, and we may soon overtake the United States as the world's most scientific and technological producer.
But when Fang Chen said this, he really hooked everyone's curiosity like a hundred claws, wanting to know what price Fang Chen spent a billion to get a video player to sell.
Or rather, what a sky-high price.
Fang Chen pointed to the large-screen DVD player and said: "This is not only a home theater where you can watch movies and TV series, but also an audio-visual equipment that can sing, the first choice for family gatherings and small gatherings, and it is also a game console that can play game consoles, so the price of the DVD player is ......."
With a wave of Fang Chen's hand, a ¥3999 on the big screen fell directly above the DVD player.
In an instant, the huge auditorium became silent, and everyone couldn't believe it, staring at this ¥3999 with wide eyes!
Not because it's too expensive, but because it's too cheap.
The TV set can accept the TV signal and convert it into a picture, and it has been developed for so many years, and it often costs three or four thousand yuan, and the DVD player has so many functions, and it is also the first and only DVD player in the world, and it is only sold for 3999 yuan, which is incredible.
Jiang Wanmeng was even more blindsided by the price of 3999, is Fang Chen here to do charity?
Wan Yan DVD player basically has to be sold for 5,000 yuan to ensure a profit, and the Qingtian DVD player, which has a larger investment and more cost, why is it only 3999, he doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand.
Fang Chen looked at Jiang Wanmeng scratching his ears and cheeks, with a puzzled expression on his face, and couldn't help laughing, 3999, is this price high?
In fact, for the DVD player itself, the price is naturally not high, and it is not even in the previous life, the price of Wanyan DVD player was high when it first came out, but for Qingtian, there is still a 30% profit.
30% profit, that's enough!
As for why Jiang Wanmeng didn't understand, Qingtian set the price to 3999, which is actually very simple.
Wanyan is a small company, and the DVD player is in the ascendant, so Wanyan naturally gives suppliers a large order, and the unit price must be higher.
Qingtian is a large company, with the most complete supply chain in China, and is the enterprise with the largest number of suppliers in China, not to mention that he invested in orders of 3 million sets at once.
