Chapter 39: Groping Forward
"That's what I think, although there is no policy trend to support it, but I think the current plan to set up a foreign investment commission to manage foreign exchange earning work still overlaps with the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
Those of us who come from technical backgrounds and understand Western business and intellectual property law will only end up in a new industrial part of the international industrial chain in the future. ”
"Don't think it's hard to foresee the future, as long as the country adheres to the line of opening up, most things can be learned from the past by observing the historical experience of Western countries that preceded us.
How similar is our current opening up and construction to 30 years ago, when Ben had just rebuilt after the war and then recovered quickly in time for the Korean War. What happened to me 30 years ago, we are facing it now.
What happened 10 years ago, or even 15 years ago, between Koreans and people on the other side of the bay, we will have to consider more or less in the future. Therefore, I think the electronic information industry will become an important breakthrough for the country to participate in the international industrial chain in the future. It's not my guessing, I'm just borrowing from the layout of South Korea and Wanwan in previous years. ”
If a traveler wants to convince his partner: what he is going to say in a moment is not known because he has crossed, but the result of his "strong foresight and insight".
So, how can he deceive?
Other historical stages, Gu Biao didn't know.
But after the opening up of China, he knows very well - that is, a pretense of one thing, which happened in Yuben 30 years ago and South Korea/Wanwan 10~15 years ago.
(Note: Around 75 years, the mainland and Wanwan were actually about the same as poor, and the north and south were also about the same.) Therefore, Wanwan and South Korea have caught up with the wave of electronic information industry, and opened a 15-year gap with the mainland and Beibang.
In good conscience, Chang Kaishen's economy is really spicy chicken, which is even spicier than that of the mainland in the same period. The gold reserves he brought with him didn't actually play a role in the Wanwan economy, because they were all spent on military support. At that time, Wanwan had to support more than 600,000 troops with a population of 4 million, as well as naval and air equipment, and the pressure had exceeded that of the army of "one household and one ding".
This is not very publicized in China, mainly because Wanwan's father died and his son succeeded, if Chang Kaishen's economic incompetence is completely exposed, then it must be admitted that Chang Jingguo is really awesome in this regard. So it's just muddy. )
In later generations, even the writers who foresaw the collapse of housing prices are using the square agreement in the mid-80s and the financial tsunami in South Korea in 98 Southeast Asia.
If in the late 90s or even the new century, the Chinese people have seen too much of this kind of argument, and perhaps they will think about it more than once. But in 79, this is definitely a new perspective on the ship, and even people like Han Ting, who look at the world, are bluffed.
Gu Biao estimated that when he wanted to predict history and gather the hearts of the team in the future, he could at least rely on this trick to eat all over the world until the mid-80s, and no little brother dared to refute it.
As for how to change the recipe for morale chicken soup in the future, it's too far away, so let's see as we go.
……
"I'm all moved, although I don't have a rank, after all, I changed a secret front to contribute to the country and step on a test field - how do I feel that I have become the kind of SAR cadre who goes south to the thunder and touches the rocks?"
After Han Ting had an in-depth chat with Gu Biao, she breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.
Gu Biao tried his best to finally be happy: "Teacher Han, in this way, you agreed? It's really good, I've been worrying, if the affairs over there are completely handed over to the people of Xiangjiang, don't worry." ”
As far as Gu Biao's current power is concerned, he really can't find a better candidate to be his spokesperson on the other side.
Although Han Ting doesn't understand technology, after all, she has nearly 10 years of work experience, and she is very skilled in dealing with foreigners from all over the world, and is suitable for dealing with various emergencies. As for technology, find a counterpart talent who specializes in the art industry and report to Han Ting.
"You've talked about this, I've already been so squeezed that I can't go down the stairs, and I'm still pretending to be innocent!" Han Ting was not really angry, but she also patted the back of Gu Biao's hand coquettishly as a punishment.
actually calculated and used it on his own teacher.
Gu Biao ignored the lesson she had taught her, and hurriedly salivated and hammered the specific conditions: "Teacher Han, I can't give you an official establishment here for the time being, and I don't pay attention to this when I go to a foreign country." So all I can do is give you some preferential treatment in terms of the contract and salary of the Hong Kong-funded company, do you think it's okay?"
Hearing Gu Biao mention interests, Han Ting calmed down a little more. She stroked her ponytail and reminded lightly and angrily: "Although there are no regulations in our country in this regard, the Americans say that on their own side, there are quite a few dirty things like 'the other party conveys benefits when he is elected to power and receives benefits after leaving office'. Do you want to corrupt me again?!"
Gu Biao was slightly embarrassed.
Nowadays, the country is generally clean, and those dirty things of "doing things when you are in power and getting money after retirement" have not yet been invented, and they have not been learned. Unexpectedly, Han Ting was well-informed and knew so deeply about the depravity of foreigners, that she would draw inferences from one another.
"I definitely didn't mean that. Gu Biao could only remedy it in the line of fire, "Teacher Han, let's do it else." On the other hand, the person in charge of technology and specific sales business, you are recruiting locally, and I will give you this authority.
As long as you have the ability to reduce the price and minimize the human resource cost of the other party, then I will ask the Hong Kong parent company to give you a salary that is 30% higher than the maximum salary of those employees. This is already very low, and it takes into account the necessary expenses to live in this book. ”
Hearing Gu Biao immediately throw out such an elastic condition, Han Ting pondered for a while, and secretly praised him for his thoughtfulness.
"Okay, since you've thought it so thoroughly, I'll go out and have a look, and I should spend two years getting to know the outside world in depth. I can complete the formalities here at the end of the month, and I can leave on National Day. ”
Gu Biao calculated the progress of Qiantang in his heart, and basically it would take more than half of this month to negotiate foreign exchange orders with the city's electronics factories. It will be mid-October for the first batch of test flow goods to get the book, wait for the soldering CPU and the assembly test of the whole machine, and it will be in time.
So, Gu Biao said the last condition: "For the convenience of identity, I will hold about 5% of the shares for you." In this way, it will be more convenient for you to enter and exit and apply for a long-term visa in the future - rest assured, I really am not corrupting you, if you don't think you are happy, you can make a loan from me to buy 5% of the equity of the company in Japan, if you lose, I will give you a guaranteed price redemption clause.
I'm sure you won't regret it – you said you want to live your life to the fullest and stop relying on men. And you don't have any children, what's the use of asking for that much money? ”
Han Ting originally wanted to refute, but after listening to Gu Biao's last words, she swallowed back.
Indeed, what does she want so much money for, at best, it is enough for her to enjoy life, and there is no one to share the inheritance.
Perhaps her biggest legacy in this life is the discovery of a few excellent students.
Why bother to make the terms of those who are villains in vain.
……
After convincing Han Ting, Gu Biao's other preparations had to be stepped up.
His current capital chain is actually at a very tense moment - although at the beginning, in order to engage in the electronics industry, he left nearly $150,000 in start-up capital.
However, it cost more than $20,000 in total to buy the CPU and prototype for the experiment, as well as a private transaction with Tomohiro Nishikaku.
Later, when "The Call of the Distant Mountain" was officially released, Gu Biao also had to pay off the balance of the copyright of the Japanese side - he only paid 30% when it was translated, and the rest had to be given before the official release.
As soon as the final payment for the two films was given, the seventy or eighty thousand dollars were gone. For the game console industry, it will be less than $50,000 in total.
According to the box office and publicity effect of the first phase of the two films, Gu Biao had to collect money from several Hong Kong-funded advertisers previously recruited and settle the first installment.
The merchants of Xiangjiang are as good as ghosts, and they basically refuse to advance the account period. Even the Zeng boss of Jinlilai, who has the widest capital chain among the four businesses, wants to drag it out.
Gu Biao's method is naturally there, which is nothing more than to give the other party a slight discount, promising to "return the payment in advance 95% off", or "according to the box office trend in the first week, subscribe to the share at 80% in advance", and even allow the other party to bet on the buyout.
When the other party looks at the business of "charging according to the curative effect", after verifying the trend of great curative effect, it can still "surrender and lose half", which is naturally quite appropriate.
After two rounds of negotiations with Gu Biao's spokesperson Lin Guodong, Jinlilai's Zeng boss bought out the opening advertising fees of "The Call of the Distant Mountain" and "The Dancing Girl of Izu" with a full sum of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
And what Gu Biao talked to the other party at the beginning was "1 cent per person for playing", plus a 20% discount for the early subscription return.
This means that Mr. Zeng believes that according to the current trend, the total number of moviegoers of these two films in the mainland may exceed 40 million. That's why he thinks it's more cost-effective to pay this money.
The rest of them were not so bold, and only subscribed to a part of the preferential amount for early payment. The sum of the three is similar to the cash flow of Boss Zeng's family.
And the Hong Kong-funded watch and toy manufacturer, after cooperating with two films, has no intention of continuing to cooperate with Gu Biao. This also means that the next few films that will be released in the fourth quarter will be released one after another, and Gu Biao will have to bring in new advertisers.
And Jinlilai and Xiangjiang Crocodile are considered to be wealthy, and they must continue to cooperate.
Around 1980, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar was about 5 yuan more than 1 US dollar, and the yen was 220~240 to 1 US dollar. The official exchange rate of the renminbi is 2 to 1 to the US dollar, while the black market is close to 9 yuan.
Therefore, this leads to the fact that the Hong Kong dollar is only worth more than 4 cents according to the official exchange, while the actual black market is worth more than 1 yuan 8, a difference of 4.5 times.
With these prepaid advertising fees from Xiangjiang guests, Gu Biao can probably scrape together the balance of the yen for the next two translated films, as well as all the layout funds of the video game console industry.
As for the last two Japanese films that have been prepaid by 3%, Gu Biao is ready to pay off the balance and officially release them by the end of November. At that time, the game console should have already run out some sales in the book, and there can be cash flow to feed back.
