The invitation said that the Red Sun Club would hold a picnic on September 15 and would also take the opportunity to welcome new members.

The three-day event allows you to leave early, with no special requirements, the only requirement is confidentiality - nothing during the event can be disclosed to the outside world, otherwise the club will cancel the membership of the leaker and hold him accountable.

Picnics are not unusual, but a picnic is like a secret meeting, and it feels very interesting.

Curiosity is human nature, and Luo Yin is no exception.

He asked Alice about the Red Sun Club again, and after making sure that it was a legitimate, regular, well-prepared club in the Sky Wolf Empire, with no negative press, Luo Yin decided to participate in the event.

You can't blame Luo Yin for being careful, after all, he is not worth much now, and it is all cash, so he must pay attention to safety aspects.

There is a number at the bottom of the invitation card, saying that if you want to participate in the event, you can call this number to register.

Since Luo Yin was sure to participate, Alice naturally helped him make a call to sign up, but after the person in the intercom asked Luo Yin how many people participated, Alice looked at Luo Yin.

"Let's bring one more Janet together, three people are just right, anyway, it is said to bring two people at most......"

Luo Yin touched his chin and said.

But Alice shook her head, she covered the microphone, and then whispered in Luo Yin's ear:

"Mr. Luo Yin, I suggest you go alone."

Luo Yin was a little unsure, but since Alice said so, there must be a reason for her.

"Then I'll be alone."

Alice finished registering, hung up the call, and then explained to Luo Yin:

"I just think it's better for you to have fun alone, and it's not convenient for us to follow. And there are some places where we can't go to club activities of this level...... However, you can rest assured that your security club will definitely take care of it, and you can also bring your own bodyguards, but you will not be able to enter some of the core venues. ”

"Okay."

Luo Yin nodded, Alice obviously knew something about this kind of activity. The members of this Red Sun Club are either rich or expensive, and some of the casual things they talk about may be secret. Unless you are a full member, the kind of person who is brought in by the member will definitely be subject to various restrictions. So it's better to play alone.

Today is September 13th, and the event starts in three days, and the Red Sun Club reminds Luo Yin that he can bring nothing or some of his own food and wine.

Luo Yin is a lazy person, and he doesn't plan to bring too many things, so he just brings a few bottles of wine casually - in fact, he wants to be empty-handed, but after all, he is a Chinese in his bones, and he always feels that it is not good to come to the door empty-handed, which is somewhat interesting.

There are still three days to go, but there is no hurry, after letting Janet prepare the wine, Luo Yin will not care about this matter for the time being.

Because Richard invited Luo Yin to go to the Sykes company, mainly to talk about the problem of 1001 sales.

Seeing Richard's red face, Luo Yin knew that it must be a good thing.

Sure enough, Richard told him that the sales of the new gun in the civilian market in the past few days are very gratifying, and it has surpassed the previous products of their company, and it is now the number one deservedly!

In fact, this record can be higher, but Richard deliberately controlled the speed of shipments. After all, they still have to do business with the Ministry of Defense, and they cannot give the Ministry of Defense the feeling that they are "concentrating on the production of civilian weapons and not paying attention to military weapons."

But even so, their sales were still very high, and in twelve days, 100,000 pieces were sold in the civilian market, with a total value of 150 million Sirius coins. Their pre-tax profit is as high as 140 million!

The arms industry is profiteering!

The goods produced by the Mandala Company are being rebranded, so these are all produced by the Sykesaith Company itself. In other words, Luo Yin can get the patent fee for this batch of goods, which is almost 7.5 million, which is pocket money.

The reason why sales are so high these days is that in addition to the fact that the gun is really good, the publicity of Syx's large cost also occupies a very important factor.

After all, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. If you don't have such a strong publicity ability, this sales volume will at least be discounted more.

However, also because of the strong publicity, people who want to buy it are basically buying it now, and those who don't buy it either don't see it, or they don't have guns, or they don't have money, or they don't like it - in short, the follow-up sales in the civilian market will not be as strong as a few days ago.

But that's enough, after all, it's not a one-shot deal, and there will be a steady stream of people coming to buy it in the future. The think tank of the Sykesaith company estimates that the two guns of 1001 and 1002 can bring them tens of billions of profits! As for whether it is 10 billion or tens of billions, it is impossible to say, it must be an exaggeration anyway.

Luo Yin was noncommittal about this statement. Because the Sykes company can make a lot of money from this gun, it actually depends on when Luo Yin reveals the next new gun......

However, making money is making money, and Richard also has some troubles, that is, the bullet problem.

The new gun used paper-shell cartridges.

Compared with the previous method of pouring gunpowder into the barrel and then putting the lead projectile into it, and finally compacting it with a strip, this only needs to load the bullet from the breech and then load it, which feels very advanced at first glance.

But in fact, this paper shell fixed bullet has no technical content at all. It's essentially still those things - primer, black powder and warheads. Then the outside is wrapped in a paper shell to form a bullet.

Although Luo Yin has also applied for a patent for this thing, and the production of Sykes will also give him a patent fee, but this thing is too easy to imitate! It's a lot simpler than a new gun.

Moreover, paper shell bullets can be produced in a small workshop, and it is very difficult for you to fight an infringement lawsuit.

So a few days after the launch of the new gun of the Sykes company, there have been paper shell bullets specially made for the new guns on the market, the quality is uneven, but no matter the quality is good or bad, their prices are much lower than the price of the bullets produced by the Sykes company!

】

For arms companies, muskets are one of the sources of their profits, and bullets are also the same, and the proportion is not low.

But now that the bullets have been countered, their profits have been reduced a lot at once.

Of course, this problem has been thought of for a long time, but there is no way to solve it, because their company wants to ensure sufficient profits, and it is impossible to sell it for 350% of the profit like those small workshops.

It's not that their company is too greedy, but because their company is too large, and if the profit is too low, then they can only pay basic wages to employees, so how can they, the major shareholders, get dividends?

Besides, there is a default unspoken rule in the regular military market of the Sirius Empire, that is, the profit margin must be maintained at a certain height. Otherwise, other companies are selling so expensive, and you are selling cheaply, then you are not flipping the table!

Although the company is in the limelight now, it does not want to be an enemy of all the companies in the industry.

Therefore, for the Sykes company, the price of paper shell bullets really can't be lowered.

Richard didn't want Luo Yin to solve it, he just complained a little.

Luo Yin shrugged, bullets, in fact, there is a very simple way to solve the problem of piracy, that is, to make metal-shelled bullets. This kind of bullet workshop is not to be imagined. However, metal-shelled bullets have to be used with smokeless gunpowder, and it is obviously not suitable for this technology to be published at this time.

But beyond this simple solution...... Luo Yin suddenly thought of a slightly more complicated method.

After thinking for a moment in his heart, Luo Yin felt that it was feasible.

"Ahem, I have a solution that is not a solution, I wonder what Mr. Richard thinks?"

"Huh? Tell me about it? ”

Richard looked at Luo Yin with some curiosity, could he really have a way?

"Let me ask you a question first, does your company make more money by producing muskets, or does it make more money by producing bullets?"

Luo Yin asked seriously.

Richard thought for a moment and replied seriously:

"The paper shell fixed ammunition is a product that has just come out and is not included in the statistics for the time being. If you look at the previous gunpowder, lead bullet, primer and other things, it is still the high profit of the gun. ”

Hearing this answer, Luo Yin was satisfied, and then he smiled and said:

"In that case, why don't you just stop making bullets, or make small quantities of bullets, and then focus on making guns?"

Richard was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, it's definitely not going to work. First of all, our company wants to maintain the diversity of products, and it is impossible to give up this kind of paper shell fixed ammunition that has just been on the market for a short time. Secondly, if we give up selling paper shell fixed ammunition, it is equivalent to pushing the bullet to the rival company! Under this plus and subtraction, our company will lose even more! We can not make money or even owe it, but we must not let our opponents make it! ”

Of course, Luo Yin understands this truth, sometimes, some unprofitable projects in the company have been implemented, not for the sake of rising in the future, but purely to prevent opponents from making money.

So, Luo Yin smiled and said:

"If you concentrate on producing guns and bullets in small quantities, you're retaining product diversity and you're more profitable. As for the vacated bullet market...... If you don't want a competitor to occupy it, then you just need to find an ally! ”

"Huh?"

Richard frowned and looked at Luo Yin. Ally?

"What do you mean...... Let your company produce bullets? ”

"That's right!"

Luo Yin snapped his fingers, his eyes lit up.

"You see, I'm not a military company of the Sky Wolf Empire, I'm just a small workshop, and I don't have to abide by your default unspoken rules. No one will say anything if I sell the bullets cheaper - if you cover me. And I only sell bullets, nothing else, and I won't hurt too much of the interests of other big companies, they feel as uncomfortable as eating flies at most, but with you here, they will definitely not go out of their way to trouble me. In this case, I can help you occupy the bullet market of the Sky Wolf Empire and prevent competitors from taking ......."

Seeing that Luo Yin was talking the truth, Richard took a deep look at him. This Luo Yin said it nicely, but in fact, the fundamental purpose is to make money.

Not to mention, Richard was indeed a little moved by what he heard.

Because of the fact that Luo Yin said, compared with guns, the profit of bullets is really not high, they just need to produce a small part by themselves, and there is no need for large-scale production. Putting resources on production guns is the right thing to do.

And if Luo Yin can quickly occupy the market with low prices, then other competitors will not be able to intervene, and they, like Sykess Company, will not be able to reduce the price of bullets.

As long as competitors don't take advantage of him and make money that belongs to their Syxis company, and their company's profits won't decrease, then that's a great thing!

This method sounds a bit strange, but after careful analysis, it is quite reasonable.

"Seems interesting......

Seeing that Richard's heart was moved, Luo Yin hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"It's a win-win plan for us! My idea was simple, that is, I went and registered an arms sales company specifically to sell only bullets. Then my company and your company reached a strategic partnership, when you sell guns, in addition to promoting your own bullets, you also want to promote my bullets, saying that our bullets are officially certified by you......"

"The main difficulty in this problem is that my new company must not be sniped by other arms companies for such a large-scale sale of bullets. So this requires your help, but after all, we will not affect your core interests, and even my new company can sign a contract with your four major arms companies to guarantee that they will only sell bullets......"

"You don't want the bullet market to be occupied by other companies, and other companies don't want the bullet market to be occupied by you! I'm coming in as a third party, and we're going to occupy this little bullet market, and you should all be satisfied......"

And the most important point, Luo Yin didn't say, but Richard also understood.

That is, for an arms company of their level, bullets are like chicken ribs, and the profit is not high, but they are reluctant to give up to competitors.

If the profit is really high enough, then Luo Yin wants to get involved, let alone other companies, and Richard is the first to be unwilling.

"I'll think about it."

Richard didn't agree, but he didn't say no either.

Luo Yin knew that Richard was a little moved, but he had to discuss it with other shareholders. However, with Richard's future shares, there should be no big problem, and other shareholders will definitely give him face, not to mention, this is still a good thing for Sykess Company, after all, profits will grow.

After returning home, Luo Yin didn't say a word, and directly asked Alice to register an arms sales company first, and then this company would import bullets from Mandala Military Industry.

Company qualification review and the like, just entrust Lucas. However, it only sells military products, and does not include research and development, so it is not difficult to register.

Those big companies don't look down on the profits of these bullets, but Luo Yin doesn't dislike it. Not to mention several times the profit, even if there can be a fifty percent profit, Luo Yin should snicker.

Because for Luo Yin, making money is secondary, and he has many ways to make money.

Mainly because, the kind of high-end guns that Mandala Military Industry now produces do not require too many workers and machines, and most of them are now idle.

It's a good time to find them some work. If they don't work every day, they can still get paid, even if it is the most basic salary, it is estimated that they are not sure.

After all, if the company does not work, it is a symbol of layoffs or even closure. They finally found such a good company, and they definitely don't want the company to have problems.

Finding them some work to do can be regarded as reassuring people's hearts.

And if you really want to be able to eat the bullet market of the entire Sky Wolf Empire, then the Mandala military industry will have to expand its scale and feed a lot of people!

As a conscientious entrepreneur who came out of the United Kingdom of Stokato, Luo Yin still has a certain sense of social responsibility.

After all, when the people are rich, Luo Yin can earn their money.
