Chapter 73: Mid-Autumn Festival
It was the first time for Danning to come to Xu Qing's villa, looking at the floor area and luxurious decoration of the villa, Danning could only sigh that Xu Qing would enjoy it.
When Danning came, Xu Qing was playing with Black Bean, and when he saw Danning coming in, Xu Qing casually said "Wait a minute", and then threw a flying saucer forward.
A black shadow flew out of Xu Qing's side in an instant like lightning, and when the flying saucer was still about a meter away from the ground, the black shadow bit the flying saucer, and the black shadow ran back to Xu Qing's side happily.
Denning saw that the black shadow was a half-sized German Shepherd, and was a little surprised that it was so fast, and had the illusion of a cheetah.
Xu Qing patted Black Bean's head and waved his hand to let Black Bean play by himself.
Danning hurriedly walked up to Xu Qing and said, "Boss, the speed of your German Shepherd is really fast! It is faster than some large dogs." ”
Xu Qing glanced at the black bean: "The speed of the black bean is indeed fast. ”
He didn't know why the speed of black beans was so fast, the way black beans were fed was normal, it was the way Xu Qing fed sheep and pet dogs in his previous life, and the bloodline of black beans was not pure.
Xu Qing didn't want to think about it, and then asked Denning: "The order share of the electronic pet has been distributed, right?"
"It's already allocated. After Danning finished speaking, he took out a document and gave it to Xu Qing: "This is the content of all the meetings." ”
Xu Qing took the document, walked into the living room of the villa, and sat on the sofa: "Do you like to drink tea?"
"It's ok, drink it often. Denning replied.
Xu Qing made a pot of tea, poured two cups, one cup per person, Xu Qing took a sip of tea, picked up the document and flipped a few pages casually, and said, "You directly say the key points of the meeting." ”
"Okay. Knowing the meeting inside out, Denning said:
"The eight toy companies that participated in the meeting all allocated their share of orders, with Fisher-Price having the largest share at 20% and Tianma at 8%.
The cost of the 8 toy companies is also different, among which the most expensive Mattel company, 2.8 US dollars for an electronic pet, but they guarantee the best quality, if not reached, willing to compensate.
The lowest cost is Tello at $2.2 a piece, and the quality may be a little worse than Mattel, but they guarantee that it will meet our standards.
The focus of the meeting is basically 30% upfront for an order of $100 million, then 30% after the order is completed, and 40% after three months. ”
Xu Qing nodded after listening, it is impossible for all companies to be the same in terms of electronic pet quality, there will inevitably be high and low, as long as the standard is met.
"Can they keep up with their production capacity?" asked Xu Qing.
The $100 million order is equivalent to at least a few months' turnover for eight toy companies, and Xu Qing is a little worried that they will be doing things to fulfill the order.
30 million electronic pets, it's not too easy to do a little tricking.
Denning understands Xu Qing's concerns: "In fact, the production capacity of the eight toy companies has not reached the highest level, and there is spare capacity.
If a $100 million order is given to only one toy company, that company will definitely not be able to eat it.
I also take into account their spare capacity when allocating the share, and their capacity will definitely be able to keep up. ”
"You're doing a great job, I didn't take into account their spare capacity before. ”
Xu Qing didn't think of allocating the share of orders according to the remaining production capacity of 8 toy companies, but only considering their strength, the quotation was for denim to distribute.
When Denning carried out his orders, he added the factor of surplus capacity.
Resolutely executing orders and knowing how to be flexible, Xu Qing was very satisfied with this point of Denning.
After all, he is not a god, and it is impossible for every order to be correct, and sometimes he needs to be reminded by his subordinates.
Xu Qing chatted with Danning for a while, and Danning said goodbye and left.
Xu Qing sat on the sofa and thought about how much money he had now.
Now his main income is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and newspaper advertising.
Sunlight Films and Glory Games are only in and out.
The cost of the Bay Area Times acquisition was $25 million, and the order for the e-pet was $100 million.
Previously, the cost of expanding the newspaper's distribution network and the company's operating expenses combined was more than $10 million, and the various expenses of the company were also several million dollars.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked that all the expenses turned out to be nearly 140 million US dollars.
Am I too good at spending money, Xu Qing couldn't help but think.
Then let's calculate the ability to make money.
First of all, the manuscript fee of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which has the largest income, is currently 100 million US dollars, the advertising fee of the newspaper is about 15 million US dollars, and there are millions of dollars in various incomes.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, and all the income adds up to only about $120 million.
Xu Qing always thought that he was making more money than he spent, but he didn't expect to be "in debt" of 20 million US dollars.
Of course, the $20 million is not really a liability.
The order fee for electronic pets is paid in installments, and it takes half a year from prepayment to full payment, and Xu Qing's income will definitely continue to grow in this half year.
However, it still made Xu Qing feel that the egg hurts, making too little money and spending too much money.
Oh, and the $15 million production fee for "Dumb and Dumb" will soon need Xu Qing to pay out.
Xu Qing hurt even more.
The electronic pet must be successful, otherwise Xu Qing will go to drink the northwest wind.
The phone on the table rang, and Xu Qing answered.
"Ah Qing, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, but it's almost there, Aunt Wu is already cooking. ”
"Eat your fill, now is your time to grow your body. ”
"Now I have 3 big bowls of rice a day, exercise for 1 hour a day, and I am full of strength, and I have no problem knocking down a cow with one punch. ”
"You, the cow was not knocked down by you, but was blown to death by you first. ”
"Mom, I'm a strong man now. ”
"Okay, my Hercules, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and your grandparents will come to San Francisco tomorrow to join us, about 3 p.m.
You come over at noon for dinner and then wait for your grandparents in the apartment, they come by car and don't have to pick up. ”
"Okay, I'll go over for dinner at noon. ”
"We have to eat a little more for lunch, and then we have energy in the afternoon, and we are going to eat here, so we hung up the phone. ”
"Mm-hmm, you guys eat a little bit too. ”
Xu Qing put down the phone, if it wasn't for his mother calling, he didn't know that the day after tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xu Qing in his previous life didn't have much feeling about the festival, because he was an orphan and didn't have a girlfriend, and the festival was no different from ordinary days for him.
At most, the company will take a holiday, and the merchant will give a discount.
And in this era, he has a complete home, and grandparents who have only heard voices and have never met are about to appear.
Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunions.
Xu Qing was looking forward to it.
