Chapter 111 Investment
"Why, Mr. Chen?"
Ling Jundong asked puzzledly, "Do you have any concerns?" β
Everyone also looked at Chen Jin, wanting to hear his explanation.
"It's not that I'm worried, it's that money, foreigners won't let us make good money!"
Chen Jin shook his head and said:
"You should all know about last year's Zhongxing incident, right? Huayao's 5G has been boycotted by many countries; DJI drones were banned by the military of country M...... The high-tech enterprises in country Z have been suppressed and restricted too much abroad, and what we are looking forward to is win-win cooperation, but what about them? There is only a zero-sum game in their minds, that is, ordinary trade exchanges, and they all feel that they have suffered a big loss, completely ignoring the fact that our country's cheap products have greatly reduced their cost of living. β
"Xinghai Technology will definitely grow into a technology giant in the future, and it will inevitably grow into a nail and threat in the eyes of Western countries, causing them to be restricted and suppressed, for no other reason, because we are strong, because we are better! So they are panicked, jealous, and scared, and they will definitely do something to find trouble with us...... This hysteria is in their genes. β
"Rather than that, it's better not to deal with them! The kind of money that needs to be earned by whispering and begging for favor is better than not earning! β
Li Yuanliang was anxious and said, "But Mr. Chen, the market of hundreds of billions of dollars, don't want it if you don't want it?" β
"Mr. Chen, the Western government hasn't started to suppress us yet, and some countries in Southeast Asia, some countries in Eastern Europe, India in South Asia, tyrants in the Middle East, and some countries in South America can also do business with them, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, if the company wants to be bigger, internationalization must go, and you can't waste food because of choking."
Everyone persuaded one after another, they felt that Mr. Chen was a little extreme, and the business in some countries was indeed not very easy to do, but there are more than 180 countries in the world, and they can't just don't want the whole plate of meat because of a few countries.
This is very unwise.
"What's the hurry? I didn't say that foreigners' money doesn't earn! β
Chen Jin frowned and said: "Yesterday, Mr. Lei of Rice Technology Company called me and said that he wanted to sell his Aimi sweeping robot to foreign markets, and asked me if I could give him authorization, I agreed, and in the future, Rice Company, for every Aimi robot sold in overseas markets, would have to pay 150 yuan per patent authorization fee to Xinghai Technology." β
"If Aimi Robotics succeeds in foreign markets, we can also get certain benefits."
Regarding this matter, Lei Xiaojun was actually very helpless in his heart.
Last month, his Aimi robot was released, priced at 3699, thinking that it could fill the market gap after the discontinuation of Wow Wow 1.0 and gnaw a large piece of low-end market.
The result was a big disappointment, and the launch of Aimi Robot was nearly a month old, and the market response was mediocre, with sales of less than 500,000 units.
Then a lot of quality problems were exposed, and consumers gave a large number of bad reviews, resulting in a sharp decline in sales and unsatisfactory after-sales performance.
The most important thing is that compared with Wow Wow Robot 1.1, Aimi Robot is a generation behind, and the materials used are not as solid as Wow Wow Robot.
What's more, the after-sales service of Wow Wow Robot is perfect, providing free maintenance services for more than three years!
Aimi Robotics is only available for six months.
In terms of price, there is only a difference of 300 yuan from the ordinary version of Wow Wow 1.1.
In this era of consumption upgrading, consumers who have rod scales in their hearts know how to choose.
Sales hit the street,Aimi robot, which is not competitive in the domestic market,Lei Xiaojun had to put the hope of making money into the foreign market,After all, there is no similar sweeping robot in foreign countries,Aimi robot,In the foreign market,It is still very competitiveγ
So he called Chen Jin again and asked if he was allowed to sell abroad and obtain authorization to sell abroad.
Chen Jinnaturally agreed, recently Youying Motor and Rice Robot signed a supply agreement, began to supply domestic brushless motors for Aimi Robot, the intention to order 3 million, the price of 255 yuan, the technical licensing fee on the basis of the original 100, plus 50, Aimi Robot sold abroad, for each sold one, Chen Jin can earn more than 270 yuan.
Recently, there is also good news from the arm dragon technology, Wang Quanlong said that the first batch of qualified samples of mechanical moving parts have been produced off the production line, and they will be able to be mass-produced next month, and then the mechanical moving parts will also be sold to the rice company, snatching away the business of Fana Branch robots, and Chen Jin can earn 100 more.
If Aimi Robot can sell millions or tens of millions of units abroad, Chen Jin can also make a lot of money.
And not afraid of causing trouble, don't bother to work hard, you can collect money while lying down, why not?
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
"The money is a little less, but it does save a lot of worry and trouble."
"But...... Can we grow into a great company based on China alone? β
Ling Jundong shook his head secretly, he had drunk foreign ink abroad, and he had also worked in foreign companies for two years, and he learned a lot in it, thinking that there are many advantages and good business models in foreign countries, which are worth absorbing and learning from domestic companies, and they should deal with them more, stand at a higher height, and expand their international vision.
But Chen Jin is really not interested in opening a foreign branch and being a multinational group, his Xinghai Technology is not for foreigners, the main service object is the Chinese! The purpose is to bring more help to the Chinese people, and the little money of foreigners, to be honest, is not very rare.
The money in the domestic market is enough for him to make inexhaustible money, so why bother to go outside and make a mess.
And they said no more.
β¦β¦
July 5th.
After nearly three months, Shi Xiaotao came to Shanghai again and met Chen Jin.
This time, what she brought was not the script, but the opening demo of the anime movie "Wow Wow Robot: Wisdom and Brave Rescue", which was adapted from the script and produced by a professional team, which was presented in front of Chen Jin.
"So quickly, you made the demo?" Chen Jin was very surprised, this efficiency is too fast, right?
Shi Xiaotao shook his head, threw the double ponytail behind his head, and hugged his hands with a smug face: "I paid a high price to hire the most mature animation production team in China, plus the materials you gave, of course the production efficiency is fast, and ......"
She walked up to Chen Jin, double-clicked the computer file on the table, and started to play the demo video, "I think 3 minutes is too short, so I made a 15-minute opening for you, you can take a look." β
"Fifteen minutes?"
Chen Jin's mouth opened wide in surprise: "This is done too fast, right?" He shook his head again and again, "But don't be too happy, if the quality is not good, maybe you have to redo it, and your loss will be even greater." β
"Look first, if the quality is not good, I won't bring it to you."
Shi Xiaotao, who has a good art foundation, is still very confident in the quality of his works.
Chen Jin began to watch it seriously, although there is no sound yet, but in terms of picture performance, it has definitely reached the first-class animation level! The plot unfolds and the storyboard is very skillful, the picture is smooth, and the rhythm is good, which can make him, the audience, well immersed in the story.
"Not bad, very good, the quality is qualified, the picture is exquisite, and the director is excellent."
Chen Jin gave a thumbs up and finally recognized Shi Xiaotao's strength.
"That is, I said earlier, I will definitely become the best director in China, I have that ability!" She said rather narcissistically.
also talked about some other issues about the movie, such as production costs, post-production, publicity, etc., Chen Jin is most concerned about when the movie will be released.
"The film is about 100 minutes long, plus post-production, dubbing, and publicity, and it will be released in June next year, and it will take about a year."
"A year? Can the progress be accelerated? Can it be advanced to February next year and released in the Chinese New Year? β
"This can be possible, but we have to double the recruitment, and the investment is relatively large, and the funds will be more tight."
Shi Xiaotao was a little embarrassed, in fact, she also wanted to finish the movie before the Chinese New Year, but found it unrealistic.
"Are you short of money? How much is missing? Chen Jin asked.
"We are not short of money, my father gave me 50 million, the investment was pulled to 50 million, the total production cost is about 250 million, and the remaining 150 million, my parents should be able to raise it, but it is impossible immediately, at least a few months, I can't raise it, so I mortgage the house...... In short, we are not short of money. β
"In this way, I will take out 100 million yuan to invest in this movie, you speed up the progress, and strive to complete this movie before the Chinese New Year, I don't know if you can do it?"
At the end of the year, Wow Wow 2.0 will be grandly launched, if you use this movie with a box office potential of at least 2 billion to play a wave of advertising, the effect is definitely better than putting 100 million ads!
What's more, Chen Jin took out the 100 million investment, he also has a box office share, plus the IP licensing fee, he can get a lot of box office share after the release of "Wow Wow Robot: Smart and Brave Rescue".
No matter how you calculate it, Chen Jin will not suffer a loss in this investment, it is simply a lot of money.
"Okay, you can invest in me, and it will save me the energy to settle those investors, and if I recruit another group of people, the movie will definitely be released in time for the Chinese New Year!"
Shi Xiaotao's eyes lit up and he agreed to accept his investment.
After the film is released, the IP licensing fee plus 100 million investment, all the box office revenue obtained belongs to the producer/investor, and Xinghai Technology takes 50%.
After signing and looking at the contract, Shi Xiaotao muttered: "Hey, I worked hard, only to find out that I was working for someone." β
Chen Jin laughed.
