Chapter 926 is not an easy thing to do
The daily management authority and operation authority of the clairvoyant space telescope were all transferred to the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, and the ownership was still in their own hands.
All the costs of manufacturing the clairvoyant space telescope have been recovered, and the clairvoyant space telescope is legally owned, which is equivalent to making the Chinese Academy of Sciences spend billions of funds, and in space, it has helped Yinhe Industry set up an amazing advertising signboard.
If Liu Shiqing is allowed to do this kind of business a few more times, he will take advantage of the cheapness of the whole world.
Lu Yongxiang didn't know that Liu Shiqing had taken such a big advantage invisibly, even if he took a step back, he knew, and he wouldn't have any special ideas. At present, with the strength of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, if you want to build a clairvoyant space telescope, it will not cost seven or eight billion Huaxia coins, and it is very likely that it will be doubled or tripled on this number, which may not be made. In contrast, even if Liu Shiqing made some money, it was acceptable. What's more, strictly speaking, this time, the Huaxia Academy of Sciences only spent seven or eight billion Huaxia coins to get a space telescope with better performance than the Webb Space Telescope, which can be regarded as a big profit.
It didn't take much time, so Liu Shiqing signed a contract with the Huaxia Academy of Sciences on behalf of Galaxy Industry and the Huaxia Academy of Sciences respectively. From this moment on, the clairvoyant space telescope that Liu Shiqing has not yet built is still nominally owned by Galaxy Industrial, but in essence it has been transferred to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
When Liu Shiqing and Lu Yongxiang were negotiating, Lieutenant General Ye Qiuyan, Deputy Director of the China National Space Administration, Academician Zhou Jidao, President of Yenching University, Academician Gu Changli, President of Shuimu University, and others were all present.
As the two most powerful universities in China, in addition to undertaking heavy teaching tasks, the two universities also undertake a considerable part of scientific research tasks. Whether it is scientific research or teaching, the two universities overlap with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and competition is inevitable.
In terms of teaching, the two universities are undoubtedly the first to overwhelm the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but when it comes to the achievements of scientific research, even if the two universities are combined, they are not as good as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, after all, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the only national natural science academy in China, and the research field is designed to all aspects, and the national policy and financial support are also the largest.
"Dean Lu, congratulations." Zhou Jidao and Gu Changli congratulated Lu Yongxiang together.
Lu Yongxiang glanced at the two principals, and his heart moved, "Lao Zhou, Lao Gu, you are also academicians, isn't the happy event of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences also your happy event?" After the clairvoyant space telescope is officially launched, it will not only be a powerful tool for the Chinese Academy of Sciences to study space, but also provide teaching and scientific research opportunities for Yenching University and Shuimu University within the scope of its capabilities. ”
Zhou Jidao and Gu Changli were overjoyed, they all knew that since Lu Yongxiang said so, Yenching University and Shuimu University would definitely be able to participate in the daily management and operation of the clairvoyant space telescope in the future, but they would definitely have to pay some financial costs, but compared with the value that the clairvoyant space telescope can bring, a little money is nothing.
In just a few days, the clairvoyant space telescope and the sea reclamation project have found partners within the Galaxy Mutual Aid and Co-promotion Association. After this news came out, the EU member states that were still arguing were taken by surprise, especially the countries that make up the European Space Agency. Because of the quarrel, they have missed the opportunity to reach an agreement with Galaxy Industry to engage in clairvoyant space telescope research together, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to encounter such an opportunity in the future.
The events before and after are clear, but the results are like this, which makes EU member states begin to reflect on whether they will miss more opportunities to cooperate with Galaxy if they continue to stalemate with Galaxy Industrial.
Carefully calculated, the EU and Galaxy Industry have been at odds for two years, and in the past two years, Galaxy Industry has maintained a trend of rapid development, and all EU member states can only watch from the sidelines, but there is no way to get any benefits.
When the European Union had not yet had a bad relationship with Galaxy Industry, Galaxy Industry and France reached a long list of cooperation agreements, Germany sold tens of billions of Chinese yuan of machine tools and other products to Galaxy Industry, and other countries also had a certain degree of cooperation with Galaxy Industry, and they all got what they wanted in their exchanges with Galaxy Industry. Nowadays, the channel is cut off and the exchange is suspended, which seems to have made Galaxy Industry lose the rich market in Europe, but it hurts others and hurts itself, and Europe has also lost Galaxy Industry. Among them, who has the upper hand is really hard to say.
The French president gathered his staff and began to discuss the possibility of getting rid of the European Union and making contact with Galaxy Industries. After all, France can be said to be one of the most influential countries in the European Union, and it is considered the leader of the European Union.
While the French were hesitating, Spain, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, the Netherlands and other countries successively sent senior government officials or influential political or economic figures in their own countries to visit China, and one of their most important purposes was to make contact with Galaxy Industry and explore the possibility of restoring normal relations with Galaxy Industry.
The EU has never been monolithic, and when interests are aligned, it is feasible to reach a consensus, but when each has its own small abacus and small ninety-nine, it is inevitable that some countries will leave the EU behind and act alone.
These guests from Europe have their own people sent by Ding Chongxiang to deal with them, and Liu Shiqing is too lazy to see them. Now that Galaxy Industry and the EU are still in a state of hostility, seeing them now, wouldn't it seem that they are looking forward to them coming, which will make them fall into passivity. What's more, the current demand for Europe by Galaxy Industry can be said to be very weak, one more Europe, one less Europe, whether it is for Galaxy Industry or Liu Shiqing, it doesn't matter.
Now Liu Shiqing has more important things to be busy, the Coca-Cola Company of the United States announced not long ago that they have successfully researched a functional drink, although the performance is not as good as that of a strong drink, and there is no long-term drinking to enhance the physique, but it can restore most of the body consumed by drinkers in a very short period of time. This energy drink, which Coca-Cola calls a fitness drink, will be sold in the U.S. market within a week, and then will gradually be promoted to North and South America, Europe, Asia and other regions, striving to make it easy for people all over the world to buy fitness drinks by the end of 2017.
There has never been a shortage of talented people in this world, let alone an established company like Coca-Cola. As the world's largest soft drink manufacturer, Coca-Cola has huge cash reserves and good market recognition, and its flagship product Coca-Cola has been labeled as American culture, and countless teenagers around the world are quoting Coca-Cola, Sprite and other carbonated drinks.
If it was only Coca-Cola that produced physical drinks, Liu Shiqing would not be too worried, but the prices of physical drinks announced by Coca-Cola were really jaw-dropping. LIKE COCA-COLA OR SPRITE, THE MARKET PRICE OF A 345ML PHYSICAL DRINK IN THE U.S. MARKET IS ONLY ABOUT $0.8 A CAN, AND THE PRICE IN CHINA IS CURRENTLY ONLY SET AT TWO YUAN.
This price is undoubtedly aggressive, and the current sales of strong drinks in the United States remain at a relatively stable level, although it is not as much as the previous two years, but the United States still spends about 60 billion Chinese dollars a year to import strong drinks from Galaxy Industry.
The main purpose of people drinking strong body drinks, one is to enhance physical fitness, the other is to restore physical fitness, between the two, to enhance physical fitness is the main thing, to restore physical fitness is secondary, but even if it is secondary, we can not ignore people's desire to restore physical fitness, this need to bring considerable market demand to physical fitness drinks. It is conceivable that once Coca-Cola successfully launched a physical drink, its cheap price will have a big impact on the strength drink.
This time is different from the "EU liquid heroin incident" that the Europeans made a few years ago, and the Coca-Cola Company has already carried out a very strict and cautious practice, which has been proven to be safe and harmless, and it is very unrealistic to expect the Americans to come out with a big oolong.
The current sales of strong drinks around the world are not as optimistic as in previous years, and now the Americans have come up with physical fitness drinks, which will undoubtedly make things worse for the strong drink business of Galaxy Industrial.
Yuan Tiancheng was ordered to rush to Yanjing from Wuling City, and personally made a detailed report to Liu Shiqing about the severity of the matter. After Liu Shiqing waited for him to finish his report, he asked him what kind of countermeasures the head office had taken.
Yuan Tiancheng looked at Liu Shiqing cautiously, "Boss, once Coca-Cola really proposes a physical fitness drink according to the original plan, then it will definitely not be good news for us." So we feel like we can't sit still, we need to do something. ”
"Don't talk about these useless things, just tell us how you plan to deal with it." Liu Shiqing said lightly.
"Price reduction." Yuan Tiancheng said, "Only by reducing prices can we recover the current sluggish sales of strong drinks around the world, and can we effectively block the impact that Coca-Cola may have on us after the physical drinks are launched." ”
Liu Shiqing laughed and said: "Yuan Tiancheng, don't you think that doing this will make the export price of strong drinks that we have insisted on for many years be in danger of collapsing?" In the eyes of foreigners, since we can reduce the price of physical drinks today because of their reduced purchases and the appearance of physical drinks, then tomorrow they can use other means to force us to continue to reduce it by a large margin. Sooner or later, the strength drinks sold abroad will not be sold at a high price in China. What will we do then? ”
"Mr. Liu, we have also taken into account what you said. However, if we don't reduce the price now, once the physical fitness drink is launched, the sales of the strong drink will definitely drop significantly, and the profit will also decline even more. When the time comes, we will lose even more. Yuan Tiancheng sincerely expressed his concerns.
Liu Shiqing shook his head, "Anyway, the export price of strong body drinks cannot be reduced, not only can not be reduced, but also increased...... Well, it's five percentage points. ”
Yuan Tiancheng was surprised, he didn't expect Liu Shiqing to make such a decision. "Boss, will this cause a backlash from customers?"
Liu Shiqing said: "Rare is expensive, so far, only we can produce strong body drinks, since the sales are destined to decline, to maintain the same profits, then we can only increase the price, anyway, if you need strong drinks, you will definitely not sell them because of the rise in strong drinks, and if you don't want to sell them, even if we sell them cheaply, people will not sell them." ”
Yuan Tiancheng said: "Is the one sold to the military also rising?" ”
"Up, why not? It's a big deal to take out all the extra money you earn to support the army. Liu Shiqing said.
Yuan Tiancheng nodded, since Liu Shiqing had made such a decision, he had only to obey.
Liu Shiqing said: "The price increase cannot solve the long-term problem, it is just an expedient measure." The best thing to do is to go against Coca-Cola and try to reduce the impact of their physical drinks. ”
Yuan Tiancheng shook his head, "Boss, this is not easy. The production cost of physical beverages is so high, it is impossible to compete with physical beverages in terms of price. Unless we can come up with an energy drink that is about the same efficacy and cost as a fitness drink, then we can offset the impact of the Coca-Cola company's introduction of a fitness drink. ”
On the one hand, the cost of strong body drinks is placed there, on the other hand, the dilution of strong body drinks is limited, and if it is diluted more, it will have no effect on the human body.
Liu Shiqing thought for a while, "You wait a minute, I'll go to my bedroom and get something." ”
Yuan Tiancheng waited in Liu Shiqing's office for a few minutes, Liu Shiqing walked in with a piece of paper, "This is a formula for a physical drink, I calculated the cost, after manufacturing, the cost of each can is about eight cents to a dime, you immediately go back to Wuling City, arrange the production of the beverage filling workshop under Galaxy Venture Capital, and at the same time let them immediately advertise in places around the world, especially our China, the United States, Japan and other regions, we must focus on it, Strive to be able to launch Coca-Cola's physical fitness drinks when our physical drinks are also available. ”
Yuan Tiancheng didn't expect Liu Shiqing to give him a formula, and let him arrange to go public in such a short period of time. If you go through the normal procedure, there will definitely be no way to rush to market the Coca-Cola physical drink before it goes on the market, after all, it takes a long time for the State Food and Drug Administration to approve it.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, I will do my best to ensure that our physical drinks can be launched at the same time as Coca-Cola's physical drinks."
Yuan Tiancheng didn't stay in Yanjing City for a long time, he found an old friend to help him run to the State Food and Drug Administration, so he quickly returned to Wuling City, and talked to Shahari, the head of Galaxy Financial Group? Majiadra, Zhao Jiaxun, general manager of Galaxy Venture Capital, and others conveyed Liu Shiqing's request, and at the same time solemnly handed over the formula given to him by Liu Shiqing to Zhao Jiaxun.
No one doubted that Liu Shiqing's formula couldn't be used, Zhao Jiaxun quickly sent the formula to his beverage factory, asking them to stop immediately, vacate a few production lines, and prepare to produce physical drinks. In addition, Zhao Jiaxun also rushed to all parts of the country to communicate with the central and local influential media and negotiate how to advertise.
Frankly speaking, there is not much time left for Galaxy Industry, a week, it is not very easy to complete the procurement of raw materials, production line commissioning, operation, packaging design, advertising and other work, even if it is three shifts, not sleeping, it is also a little difficult. However, at this juncture, no one dares to be lazy, Coca-Cola has put the knife on the neck of Galaxy Industry, if it is not able to launch physical fitness drinks in the same time period,-for-tat, then this market will be Coca-Cola Company to take the lead, then Galaxy Industry will not only be subject to a strict backlog of strong body drinks, but also will not be able to get the market position of the boss in this part of physical fitness drinks, and can only succumb to Coca-Cola after Coca-Cola, so that Coca-Cola will turn the majority of this market.
Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult for Galaxy Industry to make money, and the profits that can be brought by strong drinks are getting less and less, so Galaxy Industry must pay attention to those markets where the profit amount does not seem to be very large in the past. The low-priced soft drink market is a very good choice, after all, a soft drink like Coca-Cola, the cost is a matter of one or two cents, but you can buy one or two dollars, the profit margin is not small, if you multiply it by the huge sales, the total profit is still quite considerable.
