Chapter 75 Parts Suppliers
After signing the agreement, those wealthy businessmen who wanted to enter the game industry to make money left one after another, and only the personnel of Xingchen Entertainment, the owner of the electronics factory, and the six wealthy businessmen who were already their own people were left.
Seeing that the rest were his own people, Huo Jianning coughed and said, "Since the irrelevant people have left, it's time for us to get into today's real topic." ”
When a young woman at the table heard Huo Jianning say this, the corners of her mouth tilted slightly, smiled, and muttered, "Stinky little ghost, I'll see what tricks you want to play?"
This woman's name is He Chaoqiong, the daughter of gambling king He Hongsheng, and she is also a well-known strong woman in the future, and was once selected by the financial magazine "Forbes" magazine as the 15th on the list of Asia's top 50 business women. In 2015, she became the richest woman in Xiangjiang with a net worth of $5 billion.
The stinky little ghost in He Chaoqiong's mouth is naturally Wu Ming, and the two of them met at a banquet.
At that time, Wu Ming's family had just founded the Duole Toy Company, and it stands to reason that Wu Ming was not qualified to attend that banquet. However, Wu Ming's grandfather has been in Xiangjiang for many years after all, and has made many friends, including some top wealthy businessmen, so someone invited him to attend that banquet.
Because Wu Ming was very popular with the old man, the old man also took him to the banquet. At that time, Wu Ming regarded the hotel as his home, eating and drinking there. Such a maverick behavior naturally attracted the attention of some people, and most people looked at Wu Ming as a child, that is, they smiled and didn't care about him.
He Chaoqiong was also at that banquet at that time, and she was feeling bored, and suddenly found such an interesting little ghost. stepped forward to talk to Wu Ming, and the two became friends from then on. However, the two often quarrel when they meet, He Chaoqiong is called Wu Ming stinky little ghost, and Wu Ming is called He Chaoqiong and Aunt He.
The reason why He Chaoqiong set up a game company is also because Wu Ming often shows off in front of her, and her father He Hongsheng often praises Wu Ming at home, which naturally arouses her competitive spirit. That's why she wants to compete with Wu Ming in the game industry.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him seriously, Huo Jianning said with a serious face: "The reason why I came to Xingchen Entertainment today is because I hope to formally establish a cooperative relationship with you and become a strategic alliance. ”
As soon as Huo Jianning finished speaking, someone below suddenly asked, "I don't know what Huo Sheng's so-called strategic alliance means?"
"Yes, isn't it a partnership with Star Entertainment now?"
Even the six wealthy businessmen who were watching looked at Huo Jianning with interest, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in his gourd.
Huo Jianning smiled and explained: "Now your electronics factory only accepts our OEM order from Xingchen Entertainment, and it can't really be counted as our partner. As you should know, many of the parts in the arcade are not manufactured in Xiangjiang, so they can only be purchased from overseas.
After discussing it with my boss, I thought I couldn't go on like this. Purchasing goods from overseas is not only costly, but also risky. That's why we're determined to produce all our parts in-house, and you're the partner of choice.
At the beginning, He Sheng also asked me, asking if you electronics factories could also enter the game market, and my answer was yes. But entering the gaming market is not a very good option for you. Because the game market is surging, no one can guarantee that you will succeed, but there are many game companies abroad that have had to dissolve for various reasons after being established for less than half a year. I guess you can't be sure that you can become those successful people.
Our performance in the game market is obvious to all, and if you choose to become our parts supplier of Star Entertainment, we can guarantee that you will make a steady profit. Please consider carefully which one to choose. Of course, if you are confident, you can choose both. ”
After speaking, Huo Jianning quieted down and slowly waited for the people present to make their own decisions.
The people present began to think about what Huo Jianning would say, but they didn't expect him to throw such a difficult question, and everyone below began to talk about it.
They all understand that what Huo Jianning said is indeed good, don't look at Xingchen Entertainment so profitable, but there are countless companies that have died in the game market, and if they want to enter this industry, it is indeed very risky, which is similar to creating another industry.
But many of them don't want to become a parts supplier of Star Entertainment, to produce the parts needed for those arcade machines, they must spend a lot of money to upgrade the factory, and they will completely surrender to the feet of Star Entertainment in the future.
Someone asked without giving up: "Can we continue to be the foundry of Xingchen Entertainment?"
Hearing this, many people's eyes also lit up, since developing games is risky, and it costs a lot of money to become a parts supplier, it is better to maintain the status quo and earn OEM fees.
Huo Jianning smiled slightly and retorted: "The days of your OEM for our Star Entertainment may not last long. In two or three days, my boss's family will go back to their hometown in the mainland for the Chinese New Year. At the same time, a large foundry will be set up there, and in the future, Xingchen Entertainment's arcade machines will be handed over to that place for production. ”
This news immediately shocked everyone present, who thought that Xingchen Entertainment would expand Aihua Electronics and let Aihua Electronics produce arcade machines. But I didn't expect Xingchen Entertainment to be so bold and actually want to invest and build a factory in the mainland. Although Wu Ming's family came from the mainland, they should also know better that the mainland is very unfriendly to capitalists like them, how could they make such an absurd decision.
"Aren't you afraid of backsliding over there?" asked some of the people who couldn't figure it out.
Huo Jianning smiled and said: "The chief designer Deng in the mainland has set up a trust fund, and several top wealthy businessmen such as Fok Yingdong and Li Ka-shing in Xiangjiang have already participated. It shows that the mainland has made a big determination this time, and we at Xingchen Entertainment believe that they will not let us down. Even if things change, we can afford to pay this price for just one foundry. ”
When the others heard Huo Jianning say this, they were already dead hearted, and they all thought about it seriously.
In the end, in desperation, the owners of these electronics factories had no choice but to agree. Under Huo Jianning's arrangement, in order to protect everyone's common interests, these people set up an electronics company in groups of about four or five people, specifically responsible for a certain part. In order to share the risk, they also took the initiative to invite Xingchen Entertainment to take shares, thinking that in this way, Xingchen Entertainment would give them more care.
