Chapter 047: The Way to Go

In addition to the interest planning of the domestic market, foreign countries cannot be ignored. According to the information provided by Liang Tao, after Wells Fargo Energy obtained a large amount of financing, the output of more than 100 million yuan made the mobile phone giant automatically raise the price, and people from Samsung and Apple took the initiative to contact and were very interested.

The rolling talk of the news has also made Wells Fargo Energy famous.

Because the battery problem has existed for a long time, high-tech has been born, which is no less than detonating an industrial nuclear bomb.

Wells Fargo Energy has been talked about many times in China, and high-level government officials have paid attention; And Meng Qian is also praised by the media as a "genius of science and technology", young and promising, etc. However, he was born out of nowhere, and there is a little little information about him, and the media are trying to get in touch with him and conduct special interviews.

It's just that Meng Qian is not free at the moment, he is more concerned about his career.

Zong Yan brought the latest progress: "Our sufficient funds have been shown, and Huawei is afraid of losing the opportunity, so he has agreed to increase the unit price to 160 yuan, and the middle and high-end orders will be fully accepted." At present, the two points discussed are: the price of exclusive use by domestic brands; Exclusive years of use. ”

"Warwick shouldn't have any opponents, right?" Meng Qian said that the price of mid-to-high-end models is already high, and once Huawei is fully equipped, who can challenge them?

"Not at all." Zong Yan is very sure, "So we offered a price of 1.5 billion, an exclusive cooperation fee for three years, and an annual demand of 60 million batteries." ”

"It's a bit high." Meng Qian feels that Warwick's mid-to-high-end models are limited.

Zong Yan said: "Whether it is high or low, it has no impact on us, we only supply high-end batteries." Warwick can't finish eating, and we still have Samsung and Apple, which are hard to feed. But I believe that Warwick is not stupid, after seizing this opportunity, they will still produce low-end goods? ”

Wells Fargo's main profit is not a monopoly fee, although this fee is important at the moment (capacity expansion). However, the focus in the future is the product, assuming that it is reduced to 40 million yuan, if the unit price is 160 yuan, the annual turnover of this contract will be 6.4 billion yuan, which is the company's main business.

As for why not supply Warwick in its entirety?

It's easy to figure it out, because after Warwick consumes 40 million batteries, it is almost saturated, and the rest are low-end mobile phones, and the production capacity of Wells Fargo Energy is aimed at high-end and cannot be supplied at a reduced price. The remaining production capacity of more than 100 million yuan is all for the high-end, and it can also generate nearly 18 billion revenue.

So Meng Qian asked, "What about foreign ones?" ”

"Both giants are on the move. Samsung's mobile phone shipments reached 300 million, which is large but has little profit. Apple's model is more fixed, with shipments of 150 million, less volume and high profits. These two companies, we have to make trade-offs, for either one, it is a trick to defeat each other. ”

"It also means more money." Meng Qian understood, because there will be a "protection fee" for exclusive cooperation. Wells Fargo Energy needs this protection fee to increase production.

Zong Yan nodded: "That's right, Warwick's cooperation is a bit of a fuss in comparison." ”

Meng Qian said: "I prefer Apple, most of the models are high-end, and the fan base is huge. They are absolutely willing to pay a big price in order to maintain their advantage. ”

Zong Yan agreed: "It is also in line with the company's high-end development strategy." But to raise prices, Apple has to be given a sense of urgency – from Samsung. If we exclusively supply Samsung for three or five years, it can be imagined that Apple's vitality will be greatly damaged, and technology has always been the mainstream of competition. ”

"That's good, just use this strategy. The same can be done for Warwick, after all, they also want to be among the giants. "Meng Qian learns and puts it into practice.

Huawei is the most promising brand in China to become one of the world's mobile phone giants. Today's new battery is a good opportunity, users have the habit of use, once used to the long standby, fast charging mobile phone brand, and then change back to the ordinary machine with difficult battery life, absolutely uncomfortable.

Huawei is certainly not stupid, as long as it can get the exclusive cooperation of domestic brands, it will inevitably develop in the future in the comprehensive development of mid-to-high-end models, and the low-end ones still need to be bothered?

At the end of the day, that's the beauty of advanced technology.

……

After talking about the "money road", let's talk about the future.

Zong Yan began the second topic: "If you cooperate with a foreign company, our company will inevitably come into contact with foreign exchange, and I heard that you also have plans to expand your business. ”

"How?" Meng Qian was a little puzzled.

Zong Yan asked him: "Do you plan to expand your business to the whole world and blossom everywhere?" Or is it limited to China, and foreign ones are the icing on the cake? ”

Meng Qian didn't think about it: "Naturally, the stronger the better." If I have the opportunity, I would also like to acquire those foreign companies and spread the brand to Europe and the United States. ”

"If you have ambitions, you need to lay the foundation for an international business now, and you need strategy," Zong Yan said. ”

"Please advise." Meng Qian is very modest and will not ask for advice.

Zong Yan admires Meng Qian very much, although he is the boss, but in the face of those who can't, he can always put down his body to ask for advice.

"First of all, I will introduce you to a concept, which is called an 'offshore company', that is, an enterprise registered in a foreign offshore center. We are familiar with Baidu, Tencent, Shanda, Alibaba, etc., the parent companies are all registered abroad, and they are all located in a place called the 'Cayman Islands'. ”

"Are they foreign businesses?" Meng Qian had heard of it for the first time.

Zong Yan nodded: "That's right, the parent company is registered in a foreign country, and it can also be mixed with the name of foreign capital." Not only these companies, but also many Internet companies are offshore companies registered overseas. If you look up the Chinese companies that have gone public in the United States, many of them have offshore companies. ”

Meng Qian knew that existence was reasonable, so he asked, "What's the benefit?" ”

This is a qualified brain of a businessman, Zong Yan praised it in his heart, and said: "There are many benefits, and the tax in the country where the offshore company is located is very small, which is almost equivalent to no tax; The policy is loose and there are no foreign exchange controls; The information of shareholders is kept confidential, and the information of shareholders is kept absolutely confidential. ”

Taxation has always been a headache for enterprises, what 17% value-added tax, 25% corporate income tax, the company's earnings at least a large layer of blood. If it can be avoided, for large enterprises, the cost saved can definitely be calculated in the unit of "100 million", Meng Qian is interested.

"Secondly, Mr. Meng, if you want to engage in international business and also want to invest in foreign companies, it is almost impossible to move an inch without the springboard of offshore companies. Because of China's implementation of foreign exchange control, the money of individuals and enterprises can only be used in the country, and more than the equivalent of 50,000 US dollars cannot go abroad. ”

"Exchange controls?" It was another word he had heard of, but couldn't touch.

"Let's give you an example. A few years ago, there was a domestic company that wanted to acquire an airport in Europe, and the European government has allowed the transaction, and the contract needs to be equivalent to more than one billion yuan, but guess what? China does not allow the company to invest overseas because of foreign exchange controls. ”

"It's just a simple business, right?" Meng Qian was puzzled.

"There are too many programs." Zong Yan shook his head, "Large overseas investments that can be approved by the foreign exchange bureau and local governments are always the privilege of state-owned enterprises and super-large pile investments, but the procedures are also very troublesome." To put it mildly, the foreign exchange bureau looks down on the little money you invest abroad. ”

Meng Qian felt that the protection was too much...... Of course, the country has the overall situation of the country, what does he know about the grass people?

But the grass people also have the grass people's methods, and the reason why the Internet companies mentioned by Zong Yan earlier are all registered in the Cayman Islands come out: the offshore company is a springboard, and the funds are placed on the offshore company, which is not subject to any foreign exchange control, no tax troubles, and can invest anywhere.

Take the future operation of Wells Fargo Energy as an example: there is nothing to be done at home, but there is no need to run back the business income from cooperation with foreign companies and foreign cooperation, and the money can be placed in the account of the offshore company, which company you want to invest in and acquire in the future will save a lot of trouble.

This trick is not the first in China.

Referring to the world's large enterprises, offshore companies have always been the trump card of reasonable tax avoidance, Apple, Microsoft, IBM, Google and other well-known enterprises, all have offshore subsidiaries, some have more than one, and the tax avoided by this law is said to be more than 90 billion US dollars...... Astronomical.

Zong Yan is a good guide, and the analysis is in place.

Meng Qian understood: "If I want to expand overseas more conveniently and without regulation, it is better to register a wholly-owned offshore company and use it to control domestic enterprises? ”

Zong Yan nodded: "This is almost the only way for big enterprises. ”
