Chapter 363: Profits, Pricing, New Guns on the Market
"If the procurement contract is formally signed with the Ministry of Defense, it will bring at least one billion profits to the company!"
Richard laughed and spoke.
He said at least a billion, at most, then it depends on whether the Ministry of Defense is reluctant to spend money.
The Celestial Wolf Empire has a total population of 600 million, and official figures say that there are 5 million troops.
It is unlikely that all these five million soldiers will be equipped with new guns, after all, some logistics units and the like will not need to use new guns for the time being.
These new guns will definitely be prioritized for front-line combatants.
Theoretically, one gun per person is sufficient, but in practice this is certainly not possible. After all, to consider situations such as damage, wear and tear, and even loss, the Ministry of Defense has to keep a certain spare gun.
According to the 700 profit of a gun, the profit of one billion is about 1.5 million guns.
These guns are obviously not enough to arm the army of five million, at most for the army to try out. According to Luo Yin's estimates, since there are five million soldiers, there must not be at least ten million new guns?
However, even if the Ministry of Defense is really so reluctant, but the production of Syxis Company also needs a process, and it is impossible to say that I will have as much as you want.
So, the billion profit that Richard said is indeed "at least".
If it is calculated according to the billion profit, Luo Yin can get about 50 million patent fees!
If you count it according to 10 million guns, then the total price is 8 billion! Luo Yin can get 400 million patent fees! However, this is just Luo Yin's personal thoughts, and the Ministry of Defense is reluctant to spend money to say otherwise.
But to say that the 50 million patent fee is already very exaggerated, this is definitely a record-breaking sky-high patent fee!
Don't look at Luo Yin's previous ability to make hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, such as the Sky Wolf Cup bonus, the stock market, picking up gold and other things, but in fact, these situations are caused by various coincidences, and they are not replicable, which is not a serious business.
But this patent fee is a serious business, and it is a continuous business! The patent is valid for 30 years, and in these 30 years, it will continue to bring income to Luo Yin!
Not to mention, Luo Yin didn't pay much in the middle, he just carried out a patent authorization.
If you want to talk about paying, at most, you will give up the market on the side of the Sirius Empire to the Syxis Company. Theoretically, Mandala would make more money if it could sell guns here and sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense.
But the market is a thing that only those with strength can get, and those who don't have strength can only make wedding dresses for others. If the Mandala Company dared to enter the market of the Heavenly Wolf Empire like this, then it is estimated that it would not know how it died.
So Luo Yin is not red-eyed, it is very good that he can earn a patent fee. Not to mention that he has a lot of more advanced guns in his hands, and there will be opportunities in the future.
"Congratulations! But I think it's definitely more than one billion, at least two billion! ”
Luo Yin said with a smile.
"Haha, the expected goal is set lower first, of course I hope to make two billion! But...... For me, making money isn't the main point......"
Hearing Richard's words, Luo Yin was slightly stunned, and then thought of what Richard had said that he had signed a VAM agreement with some shareholders, and the winner could buy the loser's shares......
"Can you buy their shares?"
"As long as the Ministry of Defense formally signs a procurement contract with us, those shareholders will lose ......"
"How many shares can you buy?"
Luo Yin asked curiously.
"It's not much, it's just 21 percent."
Richard pretended to be forced.
He already owned 30% of the shares of the company, and now if he can buy another 21%, it will be equivalent to 51%, and he will have relative control of the company!
It's something Richard had always wanted to do, but couldn't do. After all, those shareholders are not easy to mess with, unless they sign a VAM agreement, otherwise the other party will definitely not sell.
The 51 percent share distribution ratio is already exaggerated, because 30 percent of the shares of the company are tradable. In other words, these shareholders have only 70% of the shares. The seventy shares include other companies, families, allies, and even the Department of Defense, and many of them are unlikely to be given to Richard.
If he hadn't seized this opportunity, he probably wouldn't have had a chance in the future.
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you so much!"
"Where, where!"
The two were polite to each other for a while, and Richard smiled again:
"I contacted you this time, not to report to you, but to discuss with you about the civilian market. The Ministry of Defense order will not be mentioned first, the main thing is that tomorrow 1001 will be listed on the civilian market. Your own company is also producing 1001s, so we'll have to ventilate in advance, how much do you think our company's civilian version is priced appropriately? ”
"Oh yes, it's going to be on the market tomorrow......"
Originally, there was no need to notify Luo Yin of this kind of thing, but as Richard said, Luo Yin's own company also produces 1001 muskets, and the two have already agreed, one focuses on the high-end market, and the other is positioned in the mid-range market. If there is a conflict between the prices of the two companies, one party will inevitably be unlucky, so you have to discuss it with Luo Yin in advance.
"How much are you going to price now?"
Luo Yin asked.
"The price given by our company is 15 to 1,008, I prefer 1,005, 1,08 is a bit too expensive, 1,500 is just right."
“……”
Luo Yin felt that one thousand and five were also very expensive.
In the United Kingdom of Stokato, an ordinary musket is only about 1,000 and a half, but that is a United coin, and it is only 15 when exchanged for Sirius coins.
Although the quality of the 1001 is really good, and the design is very good, it can be regarded as an epoch-making product in the field of firearms, but such an expensive price......
Of course, Luo Yin knew that there were many wealthy people in the Sirius Empire, and they could not simply convert the exchange rate to earn Sirius coins. But the problem is that the two said that the Mandala company will produce higher-quality guns and go to the high-end market.
If the price of mid-range products is 15,000, how much does it cost to be high-end? You know, Luo Yin's mandala company is in the United Kingdom of Stokato, and whether it can be sold at a price that is too high is a big question......
Luo Yin didn't hide it, and directly said his concerns.
Hearing Luo Yin's words, Richard laughed.
"Luo Yin, sometimes I think you are very smart, and you feel like an old man in my family. But sometimes I think you're stupid. ”
"Huh? How so? ”
Luo Yin touched his nose and humbly asked for advice with some embarrassment.
"The 1001 gun will explode when it hits the market – that's something we all agree on. If 1001 is popular, do you think the customers who go to your company will only be people from your small place? Obviously not, you can open a mandala gun shop or something in the Sirius Empire, not to mention people from other countries! So, as long as the quality is passable, the price is never a problem. It's nothing more than whether you want to win by quantity or quality......"
Richard's words made Luo Yinmao pause.
Also, he was short-sighted.
If the Mandala company wants to grow slowly, it must do international business. The United Kingdom of Stokato is poor, but there are more rich people elsewhere, and their money is more profitable.
"I understand when you say that. I think your price of 15,000 is very reasonable, so our company will price 2,005! ”
Luo Yin directly increased the price by one thousand.
"Shhhh
Richard took a breath of cool air, this Luo Yin is very ruthless, and directly raised the price by a thousand yuan!
Personally, he thinks that adding five hundred is good.
"When I go back and plating copper, silver or even gold on the hour, I guess there should be a market."
"Huh? Copper, silver, gold? Good idea! ”
Richard was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and his eyes lit up.
In the Sirius Empire, precious metals are really not put on guns - there may be, but they are all privately made and will not be sold. If Luo Yin can do this, then it is indeed reasonable to sell more expensively.
Luo Yin also got inspiration from his own golden revolver, in the case of no technological innovation, if you want to become high-end, it is natural to start from the material.
What bronze muskets, silver muskets, golden muskets, and even gem-encrusted muskets and the like!
Two thousand five is the lowest price, as long as you have money, you can buy any expensive gun.
Luo Yin did this with three considerations, the first one needless to say, was naturally to make money.
The second is that the reputation of the Mandala company can be turned into a "luxury in a gun".
The third and most important thing is that it can make many big arms companies relax their vigilance - because a company that only does high-end and does not go in volume will not be able to compete with them. If you are not a competitor, there is no need to target and suppress.
When Luo Yin felt that the Mandala Company was full of wings and the time was ripe, he would sell the revolver or more advanced guns at a low price and seize the market in an instant! Couldn't even react to other arms companies......
But there is no need to talk to Richard about this idea.
After the two men passed the price on the civilian market and determined that there would be no pricing conflict between the products of the two companies, they ended the call.

Luo Yin is still looking forward to the sale of Sykesaisi Company tomorrow.
As for the pricing of the Mandala company in the military market, there are no restrictions on this two companies. Because it is impossible for the Mandala Company to sell the guns of the Sirius Empire to the military, in the same way, it is impossible for the United Kingdom of Stokato to purchase the guns of the Sirius Empire.
As for the guns that the military of other countries wants to procure, it is not up to them to decide, so this kind of agreement is meaningless.
Luo Yin called Alice and asked her to pay more attention to the situation of the Syxis Company in the past two days. Although Luo Yin can ask Richard directly, if he asks everything, it seems very low, and he still has to have his own news channel.
Alice also has connections, and although she may not be a great connection, there is nothing wrong with investigating some public or semi-public information.
However, when it came to investigating information, Luo Yin thought of himself and said that he would set up a powerful intelligence department based on the intelligence department of the United Kingdom of Stokato......
"Do you know how to gather intelligence?"
Luo Yin asked suddenly.
"Yes."
Alice nodded.
He had spent twenty-five years of professional training in the Eyler family, including intelligence gathering and building an intelligence gathering team.
Luo Yin touched his chin and said:
"In that case, you set up an intelligence team for me, which is specifically responsible for collecting commercial intelligence on the Sirius Empire for me, is there a problem?"
This can be regarded as a small test for Alice.
"No problem, but I need to know how much budget the gentleman has prepared. Depending on the budget, the strength of the intelligence team formed will naturally be different. ”
Alice was not polite and directly began to ask for money. It is impossible to form an intelligence group without spending money.
Even if you don't form a team and let her investigate the news herself, it will cost money.
Luo Yin thought for a while, and then gave a number:
"Tentatively set 100 million."
“……”
Alice suddenly felt some pressure on her body.
Speaking of which, she has been with Luo Yin for less than a week, but Luo Yin trusts her so much, it suddenly makes her feel like a confidant is dying.
Look at what tasks Luo Yin gave her - a business plan with a budget of 200 million; in charge of the 800 million cash account; 100 million to form an intelligence team......
If it weren't for Luo Yin's behaving with her in the past few days, she would have doubted whether Luo Yin had taken a fancy to her. But the problem is, even if Luo Yin falls in love with her, there is no need to take such a risk!
If she really has the idea of accumulating money or even absconding with money, not to mention taking all of Luo Yin's money, but if she is one or two hundred million, it shouldn't be a big problem.
And judging from the contact in the past few days, Luo Yin is a very smart person, and it is impossible not to consider this kind of thing.
So there is only one possibility - Luo Yin trusts her, trusts her 100%!
Luo Yin didn't know what Alice was thinking, and he didn't think about it that much. First of all, he did trust Alice, after all, this is what Richard has promised. Secondly, it's only a few hundred million, although it is a lot for him, but even if he loses it all, it won't hurt his muscles and bones, so there is no need to be suspicious.
In terms of employing people, Luo Yin has always been suspicious of employing people, and suspects are not needed.
"What's wrong? Isn't 100 million enough? ”
didn't hear Alice's reply, Luo Yin looked up at her a little strangely.
"That's enough."
Alice calmed down for a moment, then nodded calmly.
One hundred million wolf coins, this is no longer an ordinary intelligence team, but a complete intelligence team! Although it takes a lot of time to train intelligence officers, she has such a budget that she can carry out operations such as acquisitions and poaching...... It's not hard for her.
Alice is a person who likes to prove herself with practical actions, she will not deliberately promise anything, but she will definitely complete the task assigned by Luo Yin very beautifully.
"That's enough."
Luo Yin nodded, he had to invest a lot of money in the intelligence department of the United Kingdom in Stokato, and the intelligence department there was not only investigating business matters...... So you have to save money on intelligence.
Next.
The new gun of the company Ixsaith began to go on sale.
Due to the rush of time, this time the publicity and listing were carried out at the same time. Luo Yin also saw the terrifying strength of a tens of billions of market value enterprises and the third largest arms company in the Sky Wolf Empire!
