Chapter 364: Bad Premonition, Earn Some Pocket Money
Luo Yin has seen the company of the Sirius Empire advertise, and before Olive Live's beauty company was, it spent a lot of money to post a lot of advertisements in Starfish City and other places. I heard that it cost more than one million, which is a relatively expensive advertisement.
And the Sykes Company not only posted advertisements in many places, but even placed advertisements on the radio - many open-air broadcasts in the Sirius Empire generally broadcast some news and the like. Very few ads are played.
But now, in many parts of Starfish City, you can hear the radio about the Sykes Company, and the sound is too loud to be heard without listening deliberately.
Therefore, when Luo Yin went to the street to feel the promotion of Sykesaith Company, he suddenly had a feeling that he had been brainwashed.
Because just now on the street, whether he saw or heard, there was always an advertisement for a new gun from the Sykes company!
Luo Yin didn't know how much money it cost, but he felt that it definitely couldn't be done just by spending money, and various relationships were needed. After all, those broadcasts are all broadcasting government stuff, and if you let the broadcasters advertise for you, it's impossible to have no connections.
Luo Yin didn't know how other cities were, but according to Richard, other big cities were no less advertising than Starfish.
There are advertisements not only in China, but also abroad.
Luo Yin guessed that the advertising fee was not tens of millions.
The reason why the company has invested so much money, in addition to having confidence in its own products, actually has a very important reason, that is, the people of the Sirius Empire are full of martial virtue - the people of the Sirius Empire have a high rate of gun ownership!
According to the official statistics of the Sky Wolf Empire, not counting the military weapons and equipment, let's talk about the number of guns in the civilian population...... The Sky Wolf Empire, with a population of 600 million, has 100 million guns! This is registered, and if you count smuggling, smuggling, and the like, it's even more.
These 100 million guns include the earliest arquebuses, flintlock pistols, and the current mainstream musket guns. What does this mean? This means that they will all be able to get new guns!
After all, guns give people a sense of security, and they can't be thrown away once they get used to it. If there is a better gun and the price is not too expensive, it is estimated that a large number of people are willing to change clothes.
Based on 100 million guns, if they all change to Syx-1001, then this will be a 100-billion-level market!
This is not a whimsy of the Sykes company, but there is a certain possibility. After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that 1001 is an epoch-making product, and those who have experienced or seen others experience it will probably never go back.
Even if there are various reasons for piracy, infringement, and people are reluctant to pay, then make the target a little smaller, such as one-tenth, and the 100 billion market becomes 10 billion market, which is also a big profit! After all, the market value of Sykesaith is about 10 billion.
If done properly, those who make money in the civilian market may even be able to surpass the military market.
From top to bottom, as long as anyone who sees this gun, they are all full of confidence in the future of this gun and the company!
That's why they invested so much money at the beginning of the promotion, and they will have follow-up activities, such as sponsoring various competitions, holding some shooting competitions, carrying out free experience activities, and so on.
β¦.
The goal of the Syxis Corporation is to make the Syx-1001 the national musket of the Sirius Empire!
By the way, in fact, the patents authorized by Luo Yin are two versions, the long-barreled rifle 1001 and the short-barreled rifle 1002.
However, according to the laws of the Sky Wolf Empire, ordinary people cannot go out with a gun casually if they do not have a gun license above level 3, and they need to keep the gun at home or in a place like a shooting club.
If it is not found, it will be confiscated and the musket will be confiscated, and criminal liability may be assumed.
Even if you keep a gun at home, you can't put any gun, and this requires a "first-class gun license". A first-class gun license means that you can keep a long-barreled musket at home, and you need to apply in advance if you want to take it out.
A second-class gun license means that you can keep a short-barreled musket in your home.
A third-class gun license can carry a long-barreled musket out of the house, and registration is required in some public places, in some places
Parties are not allowed to enter with guns. Class 4 gun license can carry a short-barreled musket out of the house......
The highest level 5 gun license is that you can carry a gun at will, and except for some places that cannot be entered, other places will not be blocked.
The above is a private gun license, if it is an official armed force, such as the police, military personnel, etc., they have a special gun license, which is not included in this rule.
Luo Yin himself has a Level 5 gun license, and the fighters of the Luthos Private Military Company also have a Level 5 gun license. That's why the registration process for private military companies is valuable β they can apply for a Class 5 gun license for their employees.
Going back to long-barreled guns, in addition to the relatively easy to get a first-class gun license, long-barreled guns are more accurate and cheaper.
Aside from being inconvenient to carry, there are no drawbacks. Therefore, the sales of long-barreled guns must be much higher than those of short-barreled guns......
After Luo Yin learned about the idea of the Sykes Company from Richard, his face suddenly turned strange.
It's okay for them to want to make the 1001 into a national-level musket, but only if Luo Yin doesn't come up with a more advanced gun.
But this is someone else's business, and Luo Yin is not qualified to care. Having hope and a goal is a good thing after all, and he doesn't need to hit others.
As for the market of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars mentioned by Sykes, Luo Yin still agrees, but there is a problem with this, that is, even if everyone is willing to buy the guns of Syxis, then Syxis can produce it!
After all, Sykesaith still has to rely on the supply of the military.
Therefore, in Luo Yin's view, the arms market is so big, but it should be impossible for Sykesai to cover it all, and other companies will definitely follow up after seeing the benefits, which is nothing more than imitation or even infringement. Isn't it just a lawsuit, they are good at this.
However, this has nothing to do with Luo Yin, this is something that Sykesaith needs to consider, which is one of the reasons why Luo Yin authorized the patent to Cerxis. He doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing himself, it's good to be able to lie down and make a little money.
Luo Yin came to a Syxis weapons store.
This is one of the largest weapons shops in Starfish City, and there are many ordinary people, but now they are even more surrounded by water.
Obviously, these customers came to see the new guns of the Sykess company.
In the advertisement, the Sykes company blew the sky, what an epoch-making invention, and what the world's first gun or something. Text, pictures and voice advertisements obviously can't show the ability of 1001, even if the advertisement says that this is a gun that can shoot and load on its stomach, everyone can't automatically make up the relevant picture.
β¦.
Therefore, whether you plan to buy this so-called epoch-making product or not, as long as you are interested in guns, everyone will come to the weapons store of the Syxis Company or other weapons stores to have a look and experience. It doesn't cost money to look at it anyway.
Seeing so many people at the door of the weapons shop, especially the people who came out of it, they were shocked and excited, and they looked as if they had discovered a big secret...... A smile appeared on Luo Yin's face.
Obviously, customers who have experienced it have a good impression of the new Syxeth gun.
Luo Yin is a member of the weapons shop, so naturally he didn't have to queue up from the gate to enter, and was directly brought in by the staff through the special passage for employees.
Not long after, Luo Yin met Richard in a room with a good view.
The two met and exchanged pleasantries.
"Looking at the customers below, I have a hunch that this new gun is definitely going to be a big hit!"
From here, you can see the hall downstairs, and the hall is crowded with people, all of whom are coming to see the new guns, but as for the other models of the Syxets company, few people are interested.
There is a supporting shooting range next to the hall, and the shooting range is like setting off firecrackers, which is very lively.
Although you need a ticket to enter the shooting range, and although you need to pay a fee to test shoot a new gun, this still can't hide the enthusiasm of the public, after all, this is one of the few shooting ranges in Starfish City where you can experience the new gun.
"I think so too. But I have a bad premonition......
Luo Yin suddenly looked serious.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Luo Yin's expression gave way
Chad chuckled in his heart, could it be that this gun is still flawed?
"I mean, if the Ministry of Defense sees that your company is selling well in the civilian market, will the Ministry of Defense sign a contract with you in advance and let you supply first? Can you keep up with your production capacity?"
Luo Yin explained.
γβ¦β¦ You scared me, I thought something was going on - but it seems like a real problem!"
Richard glared at Luo Yin, and then fell back into deep thought.
The reaction of the civilian market did exceed his expectations, and this morning, the weapons store directly under the company had already received 30,000 orders for 1001!
The company said that the new gun was on the market today, but it can only be pre-ordered today, and there is no stock on the market, after all, they have to keep some production capacity for the Ministry of Defense.
But even if you pre-order, there are more than 30,000 people in one morning!
There is no discount for this pre-order, and there is no gift or anything, it is the original price of the full pre-order, 1,500 wolf coins for a gun.
In other words, in one morning, they got an order of 45 million Sirius coins!
And you know, this is only the pre-order of the Syxis directly operated weapon store, and there are other orders from non-direct weapon stores that have not been counted.
[In view of the general environment,
If these channels are added, it is estimated that the reservation fee for just one morning can reach 100 million!
This shows the potential of the civilian market and the popularity of 1001 in the civilian market.
Richard came to the weapon shop early in the morning, and it can be said that he witnessed the customer's reaction throughout the whole process, as long as the customer who went to the shooting range to experience 1001, basically all of them made a deposit!
No way, 1001 has this kind of charm for these people.
β¦.
This is of course a good thing, the products sell well, and they make more money. However, if the Ministry of Defense sees this situation, in order to prevent Sykess from biasing its production capacity to the civilian market, they may sign a procurement contract with Sykesis in advance.
At that time, the orders of the Ministry of Defense and the orders of the civilian market will be pressed on the Sykes company at the same time, and the Sykes company will have to make a choice, which one to produce first.
Although it is said that it will be supplied to the Ministry of Defense first, the problem is that at present, the civilian market is not bad, and the unit price profit is higher! After all, it is inevitable that no one will be tempted to sell a gun to the Ministry of Defense for 700 and a gun to the civilian market for 1,040.
The company did not dare to tear up the treaty, but it could be stuck on the minimum supply to the Ministry of Defense within the treaty, and it was more likely to provide goods for the civilian market. The Ministry of Defense has no choice but to wait slowly.
If this is the case, it will inevitably be a little disgusting to the Ministry of Defense.
But if this is not the case, but the Ministry of Defense will focus on orders, and the Ministry of Defense will be happy, but the people will not be happy, and they will make less money......
This is a dilemma.
The company's production capacity is very strong, but the matter is still too abrupt, and they don't have much time to prepare, even overtime can't meet the needs of the Ministry of Defense and the civilian market at the same time......
Thinking of these questions, Richard suddenly felt a pain in his head.
That's the trouble of happiness β not knowing whose money to make first.
Richard, of course, is strong-willed, no matter how much he makes in the civilian market, that is secondary, and the order of the Ministry of Defense is the foundation of their company. In the long run, it is more profitable to do business with the Ministry of Defense.
However, the rest of the company doesn't necessarily think so.
After all, selling a gun to the Ministry of Defense earns seven hundred, and selling a gun to ordinary people earns one thousand fourteen, what about the two-fold difference!
And at present, there are a lot of orders in the civilian market!
If you don't firmly occupy the civilian market now, when other companies start to imitate or something, you may lose money!
Richard now only has 30 percent of the shares, although he will soon be able to buy the shares of other shareholders and get a full 51 percent of the shares. But after all, it's not time to buy yet, and now he doesn't count it alone.
And this
It is the time for the whole company to unite and sprint to the rankings. If there is a disagreement within, something is not good.
"Then that's going to be hard......
Richard frowned.
"Ahemβ"
Seeing that Richard had not spoken, Luo Yin coughed, attracting his gaze, and then said:
"I have an idea......
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
"My Mandala military industry has been producing new guns for a long time, and now I have a large number of 1001 and 1002 ...... in stock."
Hearing this, Richard looked at Luo Yin with some surprise.
"What do you mean......
"Why don't we cooperate? I'm going to give all these guns to your company, and then sell them to the civilian market under my own brand......
The military has certain requirements for guns, so the version sold to the military by the Sykes company has been modified to a certain extent. But there are not many requirements in the civilian market, and their company's guns are the same except for the brand of guns produced by Mandala Military Industry.
Mandala Military Industry is now going to produce high-end products, but when it was expanded before, it produced a lot of ordinary versions of 1001 and 1002.
Anyway, it's all going to be dealt with, and who is selling it to isn't selling. Luo Yin felt that he might be able to use this opportunity to earn some pocket money.
"What's the price?"
Richard touched his chin and said.
"Ahem, friendship price, 1001 eight hundred branches, 1002 nine hundred branches. If you sell it to the civilian market, you can still earn 700! Of course, after-sales has nothing to do with us."
