Chapter 996: It's Worth It
Shaking the wine glass and looking at the small colored balls floating and spinning, Lao Liu asked, "It took a lot of money, right?"
The larger the bubbles, the easier they are to break, and the same is true for the bubbles, in addition to maintaining the osmotic balance between the different wines and suspensions inside
"It's a lot," Atletico admitted, nodding, "Actually, I wanted to make it into large particles, and the larger the particles, the thinner the artificial peel and the better the taste." It's a pity that Zhang I's crushing rate was stuck for too long at that time, and it was only done this year. ”
Liu Haiyang nodded, "Indeed, the taste of the large particles is much better, there is a feeling of melting in the mouth, and there is no such feeling of chewing jelly." ”
Raising his glass and drinking again, this time he drank rum, a mixture of sugar cane sweetness and alcohol, bringing a strong island atmosphere.
"The problem is," put down the wine glass, Lao Liu looked at the other party solemnly, "Although the profits of alcohol are large, the cost of marketing channels is also high, and to make this kind of low-alcohol wine, you have to spend a lot of money on traditional channels, which seems to be not your forte." ”
"Marketing doesn't have to cost money," Atletico smiled, pointing to himself, "With me, the spokesperson with my own topic and hundreds of millions of fans, the products of Bee and Jiajing have never lacked attention." ”
Liu Haiyang moved his nose, "Cut! Are you embarrassed to say this? Contracting satellite TV during the daytime, spending money to send Sarah Brightman to the sky, and hiring people all over the world to engage in the so-called BDC, you have not spent much money!"
"If you don't contract satellite TV, how can you have the hot sales momentum of Bee mobile phones and pt2? At the space concert, we also recovered the cost through various means, and also earned a lot of popularity, and did not lose money. As for BDC, are you holding up the bowl to eat and putting the bowl down?"
Jiajing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry itself bought a lot of farm orchards all over the country, and later cooperated with Bee Green Field Forestry to carry out comprehensive development for the latter's forestry projects. The gross profit and sales volume of wine products are quite considerable, and if Qianzi Fruit Wine can successfully open the market, it can not only contribute a large amount of cash flow to Jiajing, but also digest a large number of higher and higher fruit production capacity, which is extremely important.
Liu Haiyang is now a successful businessman, so he naturally won't understand this truth, but he has his own opinion, "Deep processing of fruits, making jam juice and fruit wine is indeed the right way, but it seems that selling fruits directly is not bad, and fresh e-commerce is so popular now." Your 'Fruit Forest Conference' is doing so well, and the fruits of Internet celebrity fruit trees are selling at sky-high prices, why don't you increase your efforts in this regard and find a way to expand sales?"
"Fruit Forest Conference" is a fruit tree talent show created by Bee Video and Jiajing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, which can be said to be an upgraded and evolved version of the previous animal Internet and fruit tree live broadcast. Here, every tree is a draft anchor, and every day they live is recorded by cameras and sensors, and then through artificial intelligence screening, professional editing, and post-production, it is made into a fruit tree talent show, through measuring the shape of the tree, measuring water and soil, comparing appearance, evaluating flavor, watching videos, etc., to tell stories and convey feelings, and finally according to audience feedback, determine the most popular one, two, and three. Some fruit trees have more followers than some Internet celebrities, which can be called Internet celebrity fruit trees, and the fruits they produce can also be sold for a sky-high price of more than 100 yuan per piece/bunch.
Hearing Liu Haiyang say this, Atletico shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't look at the expensive selling of those fruits, in fact, they can't even cover the cost, each Internet celebrity tree costs us an average of 50,000 yuan, but they don't necessarily produce 500 high-quality fruits." ”
"I'm so cheating, right? Screaming and jumping off the building at a loss, but I don't see you stopping the game, isn't the audition still going well in the fifth season?"
Atletico smiled, "Internet celebrity fruits don't make money, we still have video sites." ”
"Understood," Liu Haiyang nodded, "Selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the wool is out of the pig, it seems that you are selling Internet celebrity fruits, but what you are actually selling is video traffic, you are really 666." ”
"General," Atletico picked up his glass, touched the other party, and took a sip, "As for fresh e-commerce, it is indeed very hot now, and consumer demand is not weak." However, the cost of cold chain distribution is still a bit high, most of the fresh e-commerce companies are losing money, and Jiajing does not plan to get involved too deeply for the time being, and it is good to maintain its existence now. ”
After colliding with commercial retail, industrial manufacturing, and transportation, the tentacles of the Internet have gradually extended to the primary industry, and "Internet + agriculture" has struck strongly: agricultural Internet of Things, agricultural big data, drone plant protection, rural e-commerce, fresh e-commerce, ...... , piles and piles can bring people imagination space.
In these fields, Jiajing is actually one of the earliest entrants, but it is taking the route of agricultural deep processing and self-contained industrial chain. Atletico Madrid has always shown little interest in fresh e-commerce, and only intends to sell a small amount of seasonal fresh fruit to maintain its fame status, but has no intention of expanding the sales of fresh fruit.
"You," Liu Haiyang sighed: "I really don't know what to say, others burn money quickly, you stand by coldly; others avoid it, you jump into the pit happily, it's really a wonder!"
Atletico was not convinced, and changed his position, "What's wrong with me?"
"It's weird everywhere!"
"Let's not talk about fresh e-commerce, let me ask you, what do you think about the price of Bitcoin breaking through $2,000?"
"What else can you think, this thing is inherently prepared for speculation, and it is impossible to become electronic currency if the currency value is unstable, and it is the best choice to flee while the price is high. ”
Liu Haiyang looked at Atletico Madrid with a smile, "There are no bright spots?"
"There are still some bright spots," Atletico Madrid stretched out five fingers of his left hand and counted with his fingers: the popularity of bitcoin mining machines has stimulated the domestic chip design and manufacturing industry; a large number of mining farms have entered the mountains to find a way out for small hydropower in mountainous areas; bitcoin has risen, absorbing some hot money, and has made some contributions to stabilizing prices and housing prices and stabilizing stock prices. ”
"Price stability is a good thing, what the hell is stock price stability?"
"Benjamin Graham famously said: A bull market is the main reason the average investor loses money. If the stock price rises sharply, there will be many people who want to borrow money to speculate in stocks, sell houses and enter the market, thinking that they can come out in time, and the result is ...... Atletico put his hands together, "Smack!"
Liu Haiyang doesn't speculate much in stocks, and he doesn't know who this Graham is, although he thinks this sentence is quite reasonable, he still wants to refute it, "What you said is not right, look at the stock price of Alphabet (Google's parent company), and then look at Apple's stock price, the stock price of a good company should rise." ”
Atletico didn't speak, picked up the mobile phone on the table, called up the ten-year stock price comparison chart of Google and Apple, and pushed it in front of the other party, "It's actually you who should look at the stock price." ”
On a macro level, the stock prices of Google and Apple have grown phenomenally, growing 12 times and 40 times, respectively, in a decade. But if you look at the daily data, you will find that the stock prices of the two are not rising all the way up in a straight line, but zigzag upwards in fluctuations.
"Whenever an investor hears that the stock price is rising, they are in a hurry to buy tickets and get on the bus, and then there will be a wave of shocks, pitting those risk-takers who play leverage, scaring away those who are afraid of being trapped. Therefore, leeks are available everywhere, and Xiaosan will never be able to play the dealer. ”
There is a picture and the truth, Liu Haiyang was almost persuaded by him, but at the last moment, he remembered something and asked: "I can understand that you are regretting it?"
There was a time when Atletico was also a minority shareholder of Apple and made a lot of money with Steve Jobs.
When the latter died, he did not hesitate to choose to liquidate his position at a high level, and instead invested in fixed assets such as real estate and orchards and pastures. Under the excavation and publicity of some self-media, the story of Atletico Madrid's "selling apples and buying orchards" has spread everywhere, becoming one of his many black histories.
Under the leadership of the successor CEO, although Apple failed to bring revolutionary products such as the iPhone and iPad, it successfully maintained its comparative advantage, and the company's stock price continued to rise amid the shocks, and its market value ranked among the top in the world. Although Atletico Madrid's later investment in Dianjia Rental and Jiajing Agriculture and Animal Husbandry also have considerable profits, the asset growth rate is far from being comparable to Apple, and they are naturally ridiculed by various people.
"There are some regrets, but I don't regret it," Atletico said, holding the glass on the table again, "I chose to clear all the money in the first place, but it was actually for the company's management to see." Without the determination and solidarity of the stock sellers at that time, we would not have been able to defeat Apple. ”
"Cut! When did you get sick with a big mouth, this cowhide blows well. ”
"Where's the bragging?" Atletico grinned, "we've already beaten Apple domestically, and it's only a matter of time before we beat it internationally." ”
In terms of market share, the bee system has long surpassed iOS and become the second most popular mobile phone system in the domestic market. According to their respective statistical reports, the hardware sales of bee mobile phones in China last year also surpassed that of Apple iPhones.
Liu Haiyang smiled and quipped: "Hey, the market share is nearly three times that of others, but the sales are only equal, and this is only the domestic market." And that's not counting the app sales and net profit that lags a lot behind, so what do you have to be proud of?"
Although they knew that the other side was just joking, Atletico said seriously: "It's already very good, okay? At least we are the closest to success." ”
"Hehe, where are you going to put Yunos with this? The installed capacity of other people is half that of Bee OS!"
Atletico grinned, "The share bought with money is uncountable." ”
Yunos is backed by Ali's father, relying on the subsidy policy to win a number of large factories, with an installed capacity of more than 100 million units, while Bee OS only achieves 68 million units.
Even so, the industry is still not optimistic about the system, with some arguing that the "highly compatible" Android app Yunos is just an Android variant, not a real operating system. Moreover, there are few big-name manufacturers who are not interested in it, and more are white-label manufacturers who are in volume.
"Why do I smell a sourness?"
Atletico shook his head, "I'm not jealous, I just think of OMS and Tios, who used to be the third in the world. ”
"Huh?" Liu Haiyang raised his eyebrows, "What are these two goods? Why haven't I heard of them?"
"OMS is an independent system developed by China Mobile based on Android source code, and Tios is an independent system developed by China Unicom based on Linux source code, which is exclusively for their own contract machines. Relying on the customization of operators, these two goods have brushed down tens of millions of installed capacity, but the lack of application is a hard injury, and they ended miserably. By the way, Tios later changed its doors and became 960os. ”
"Probably learned the lesson of these two, Yunos has been hugging Android's thighs and not relaxing, in order not to suffer losses in the app. As long as they stick to this line, they will never have a future. ”
"It's still a bee that is powerful, the autonomous system and the autonomous application have really done it for us!" Liu Haiyang stretched out his hand to praise, although he stood up for himself, his sense of honor as a bee person has not been lost.
"Of course," Atletico nodded proudly, "although we have the least number of applications, the average quality is the highest, and now we have received divine assistance from the policy level, and we should be able to hit 100 million installed capacity this year." ”
In order to prevent illegal applications such as fraud and gambling, the relevant departments began to blow the "application real-name system" last year, and this year officially began to enforce it across the board, and overseas applications that have not been registered in China will be removed from the shelves, and Android and iOS stores with a large number of overseas applications have become the hardest hit areas, and Yunos, which is highly compatible with Android applications, has also been affected.
Although the head applications that contribute the most revenue are not affected, the long tail of the "long tail effect" is also broken, which still has a great impact on overall sales and consumption tendency. In contrast, home-grown bee stores have been the least affected and will naturally be more favored by consumers, with a significant increase in sales being an inevitable result.
"The bees sell themselves for 100 million?"
"We're pretty close on our own. ”
"Got it, a big wave of low-end bees is heading to the battlefield. ”
"It's almost, it's not too low-end, at least it's better than Android of the same grade. ”
"That's the same," Liu Haiyang nodded, and suddenly said, "What's wrong with this world?"
"Huh?"
"You Internet tycoons, why are you all going to farm and get food? Food safety is really bad now?"
"Hey!" Atletico blinked, "Mr. Liu, you are so busy, do you still have time to look at the circle of friends?"
"I can't help it," Liu Haiyang's old face was slightly red: "My parents are retired at home, and every day they either share natto health, or plastic seaweed and plastic rice, and I can't block them casually, so I can only passively accept brainwashing." ”
"You can introduce them to our 'Seeing is Believing'. ”
"I said earlier, they only watched one episode, and then they didn't watch it. ”
"Why?"
"The style is not suitable!'See' is too young and networked, the copywriting is too sarcastic, and the netizens' barrage IQ is crushed, and I feel uncomfortable watching it. ”
Under the skin of verifying and refuting rumors and serving the public, "seeing is believing" is still the main goal of winning the attention and clicks of netizens, and such a result is normal.
