Chapter 770: A Big-Dollar Acquisition

Flix things are not in a hurry.

Because Xuluo remembers very clearly, this should be after the DVD came out and became popular.

As long as you can start doing it before the DVD, then the original flix will not appear before the Void.

In fact, as Xuluo said to Chen Xiyue, it is not only DVDs that can do this, and we can start to try to make VCDs that we already have.

Nowadays, what needs to be taken into account is only the number of young people who are online in Mi country, the popularity of computers, and the development of the Internet.

As long as the Internet can continue to accelerate, computers continue to spread to young people's homes, and the number of Internet users continues to increase, then FLIX can be born.

According to the estimates of these experts, it is estimated that in 1995, the number of people in the country will exceed 50 million, and by 2000 it will exceed 100 million.

If they are right, then the sales of computers, as well as laptops, will inevitably usher in a huge explosion.

The same is true of the flix rental that Xuluo "saw" in his memory.

Without the ubiquity of computers, what would people use to select discs online and place orders?

You can't start using smartphones to do these things in three or five or ten years, right?

Today's computer sales are only about 1.5 million units per month in the world, which includes Europe, Japan, South Korea, South America and other countries and regions.

If we want to reach 50 million households with computers, and we have to replace them every three to five years, the current production is far from enough.

Therefore, Xuluo must increase the production of computers in the future, so that in the face of this outbreak, he will not lose the opportunity.

It is not only necessary to increase the production of computers in the future, but also to improve various software and hardware, so that they can use computers to surf the Internet more quickly and smoothly, so as to have a good experience.

At the same time, the price of computers in the future should not be too high, and even in order to increase sales and market share, Xuluo has to carry out a certain level of price reduction.

Well, there should be no need to reduce the price, the price is already very low now, and the people are satisfied.

It's better to install Microsoft's indos system for free before, and install a few more useful paid software for the people, which increases the configuration, and thus gives them benefits again.

With such a future computer, you can't sell well.

In fact, now it's not just Xuluo, even Chen Xiyue has thought of the linkage between the two.

And Chen Xiyue is even smarter, "Xiao Luo, you said that after our online VCD rental website is made, can we install such a quick web page on every computer, and click on it to directly enter our website, so as to choose discs more conveniently and quickly?"

"That's right!"

Xuluo slapped his face, "Let them find the website by themselves, and there is a link to this website on the home screen of the computer, that's a completely different thing!" You can find it at any time, and those in need are naturally willing to go and see more!"

"Therefore, we should sell more computers so that they can reach thousands of households." Chen Xiyue muttered, "Maybe we can not only use our own computers, but also negotiate with companies like Dell and HP, give them a little fee, and let them install it too?"

"I'm afraid they can't bear it."

Xuluo shook his head and smiled, "If you want to add a web link to the top of the operation page, you must install the operating system in advance. No matter how cheap Microsoft's operating system is, it has to cost tens of dollars a piece, right?"

Microsoft's indos system, the original price was $99, and now it has dropped to $80 due to the mass purchase of future computer installations.

And because the monthly sales volume has now exceeded 150,000 units, and after the annual sales exceed 1 million units, Microsoft's price will drop to $70.

Don't underestimate the amount of money saved, if you add hundreds of thousands or millions of units, it will be enough to save

It's too much to save.

But then again, a computer costs so much or eighty dollars, which is very expensive for other computer manufacturers, and they are reluctant to pay for it.

They always want to make more money, and the computers are not sold out anyway.

"Forget it, as long as we become famous and the praise spreads, they will find it themselves." Chen Xiyue immediately revised his thoughts.

However, the expansion and sales of its own future computers cannot be neglected.

The more an industrial commodity is produced, the lower the price and cost.

In the future, computers themselves are now produced in China, and the cost is already much lower than that of Miguo, and if the production is doubled, the price can be reduced a lot.

"Sister, are we ready for our computer upgrade?" Xuluodo asked.

In the future, computers have long been ready to be upgraded as soon as possible to enhance the performance of computers.

But it can't be too fast, if you replace it once a year, what about the people who bought your computer before?

Therefore, it can only be updated once every two or three years, so that there will be a time difference.

"Intel's chips, Texas Electric's motherboards, and British GPUs, etc., will be upgraded at the end of this year." "I'm going to wait until a few months to see how they perform before making plans, and it shouldn't be released in June next year at the latest."

"What about their prices?" Xuluo asked.

Because it is impossible for the price of computers to rise in the future, the prices of 1999 and 2499 will always be stable, which will attract more people to be willing to buy computers.

Therefore, if the prices of these core component suppliers are high, it will inevitably affect the profits of computers in the future.

"It's going to go up 10%-15%." Chen Xiyue also frowned a little, "But the good news is that our further expansion of large-scale production and the reduction of various costs will reach about 20%-30%."

"Then we actually made it." Xuluo breathed a sigh of relief.

"But if we wait until the next price increase, I'm afraid we won't be able to offset this cost." "Unless we can open up a bigger market."

"Can't it be done over there in Europe?" "The developed countries of Western Europe have a population of 500 million and a high spending power, so now our computers are not sold in high volume, right?"

"Europe has a situation on the European side, and we haven't done our best now, how can we go to Europe to grab the market?" Chen Xiyue shook his head, "Only when we defeat Dell and become the well-deserved number one in the Miguo market, can we go to Europe to develop like a bamboo!" Right now, in Europe, most of the people who buy our computers are low-income people, and they are far from entering the mainstream market."

Xu Luo smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Obviously, the future computer is the most cost-effective one among all the computers now, who knows that people only recognize the brand, not the quality.

No matter how the dealers of the computer of the future lobbied, they just won't buy it.

But it's not urgent, and it's useless to be in a hurry.

Xuluo shook his head, and then moved on to something else: "Sister, have you read the consultation report I asked Mira to do this morning?"

"I saw it during the meal." Chen Xiyue said, "You are very optimistic about the Internet! This Mosa browser and Mikoku Online are both very popular web concepts, especially sites like Mikoku Online, people say that they burn money, I don't know how much money it will cost to fill this big hole, you want to go in and give it a try?"

"I always felt that they had a future." Xuluo couldn't elaborate, so he could only talk about Mohu, "The future world should be the world of the Internet...... Just as we enter the age of electrification, computers and technology can change the whole of humanity."

"Okay."

Chen Xiyue thought about it, anyway, the market value of Miguo Online is not high, and it is okay to buy a little bit to come in.

Anyway, it's much cheaper than buying S in Xuluo, and it's not as good as giants like Apple and Microsoft.

So

Next, Chen Xiyue told Xuluo about the current acquisition plan.

"Apple's shares, we have been slowly absorbing since last year." Chen Xiyue said in a harmonious voice, "So far, through more than a dozen linked accounts, 30% of the shares have been acquired, plus all expenses, a total of 2.2 billion US dollars. That's going to cost us half of the profits from our future investments!"

Speaking of so much money, Chen Xiyue was also very distressed.

But as long as it is something that Xuluo wants to do, no matter how distressed he is, Chen Xiyue will do it.

Fortunately, this is only half of the profit from the future investment, and the profit of more than $1 billion from the cloth stitching monster has not yet been used. β€”β€”Mainly because of the box office and peripheral equity dividends of "Jurassic Park", at present, there is a steady stream of income, at least more than 50 million US dollars per month.

But this is just a purchase of Apple's shares, and Xuluo has other plans.

"Microsoft's market value is constantly rising, and now its market value is $21 billion, and we are still pushing it." Chen Xiyue continued, "So we spent $1.5 billion to buy 7% of the shares, and we will continue to absorb it slowly in the future. If we chase too quickly, not only will the price be high, but we will not have enough cash flow."

"Okay."

Hearing this, Xuluo was satisfied, "Then now it's time for me to negotiate with Jobs!" Pixar Animation Studios, I'm going to take it!

」

Chen Xiyue nodded.

Xuluo's idea of wanting to increase the production ability of the Bobu Stitching Monster was quite right.

This Pixar animation studio, born out of George Lucas's ILM animation department, is very powerful and very creative.

Xuluo has already taken several animation scripts out.,If there is such a good animation department to help with the production,The production ability of the cloth stitching monster will inevitably be further improved.。

Although the cartoon seems inconspicuous, its popularity and influence, as well as the consumption power of peripheral toys and other products, are very, very strong!
