Chapter 77 The Lion Opens Its Mouth
VCDs are selling well in major shopping malls.
5,000 units were sold in 10 days, which is still only in Tokyo. Nakamura dispatched a sales team to start distribution throughout Japan, and at the same time placed more orders to the foundry, asking the factory to speed up work.
It can be said that VCD has definitely become the most eye-catching product this year.
After the human beings are fed and clothed, the biggest pursuit is entertainment. VCD can listen to songs, watch movies, and sing karaoke, which can meet the needs of different groups of people, and the family can have fun together.
It is natural that the sales are hot.
A month later, the sales of VCDs reached an astonishing 40,000 units, and Jiang Hao made a net profit of $75 for a VCD, which is equivalent to Jiang Hao earning $3 million in a month. Jiang Hao felt that he had money.
At this rate, he can earn 36 million US dollars a year, which is equivalent to 4 trillion yen in US dollars, not Japanese yen. This is a huge amount.
And it's just Japan,
If it is the whole of Asia, the four Asian tigers, the whole of Southeast Asia, and the even larger Chinese market.
Further afield are the US and European markets.
When Wan Yan was in China, he sold nearly one million VCDs in the first year. Can you imagine the price he sold at that time, 5,600 RMB. At that time, a person's monthly salary was only three or four hundred yuan.
The next year, he sold 3 million units.
In the third year, hehe, because there was no patent, counterfeit VCDs rose up and overturned Wan Yan. Wan Yan was not brilliant, but China sold more than 6 million VCDs that year.
If this business is done, Jiang Hao will no longer worry about spending money. Of course, the premise is that he can do this business safely.
The hot sale of VCD has naturally attracted the attention of other major electrical appliance manufacturers. Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic, Toshiba, these major electrical appliance manufacturers, also have the production and sales business of video recorders. Because of the appearance of VCD, their video recorder business has shrunk significantly. .
In the headquarters building of a Japanese group, in the office of the vice president,
An elderly man in his sixties is listening to a report from his middle-aged subordinates.
"Vice President, it has been investigated clearly. The Jianghao Electric Appliance Firm is owned by a Chinese, and the owner is Zhao Tie. He smuggled into Japan from China before, and is now the leader of a violent group in Shinjuku, helping about 600 people. , all Chinese."
"Zhao Tie went to the United States to participate in a broadcast exhibition some time ago and bought this technology. After returning, he commissioned the research institute to develop VCD. Now Zhao Tie has the 'video decompression' technology patent and all VCD patents."
The old man tapped the table with his fingers regularly, "The Chinese, the gang leader, owns all the patents."
"How are the sales of VCDs now?" the old man asked.
"Last month, about 40,000 units were sold, and it is estimated that there will be more this month. Their sales methods are very powerful, attracting many young people." The middle-aged subordinate said.
"How do you analyze the prospects of the VCD machine."
"The prospects are very good. It is estimated that Japan can sell about one million units every year, and about ten million units in Asia. If it enters Europe and the United States, it is estimated that this number can be doubled."
"And as a result, it can also drive the CD business. In the past, songs, movies, etc. in our company's hands can be re-produced and sold again. We estimate that the profit of this item is no less than the profit of VCD player sales, or even greater."
"If the VCD player and the optical disc are all counted, it should be able to reach a sales market of about 1.5 to 2 billion US dollars a year."
"1.5 to 2 billion, find a way to buy that small trading company." The old man said.
The middle-aged subordinate paused, "President, I'm afraid it will be difficult. After all, with such a good market prospect, he won't sell it easily."
"Then go find a way!"
Such conversations don't just happen in this company, many big groups are eyeing Jiang Hao's VCD business.
VCD sales were booming, Jiang Hao received the first payment, and he had money in his hand. Jiang Hao repaid the loan shark he had borrowed before, and then put out a million dollars to invest in the construction of the gang. The current Beihu Gang was beaten by Jiang Hao. The management is well-organized, and everyone has their own clear division of labor.
Hire, train.
Jiang Hao's purpose is to build the North Tiger Gang into the largest Chinese community in Japan. He doesn't know what he will face in the future, but it is necessary to make adequate preparations.
He has been in this world for a few months, from a poor smuggler, to the boss of a party, the president of a business company, and hundreds of younger brothers, but the system does not respond at all. There is no quantitative standard at all.
Turn off the system, pick up a cigar and light it, just then there is a knock on the door, "Come in."
Kento Nakamura walked into the office, "Boss, I have something to report to you."
"Sit down and talk."
"Thank you boss, boss, many big companies have sent people to visit our company these days, some of them are looking for sales cooperation, and some are planning to buy shares or buy our company."
"Who will buy shares in our company?" Jiang Hao asked with great interest.
"Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba in Japan, Best Buy in the United States, and two investment companies want to invest in us, Goldman Sachs and Softbank in the United States, you have explained before, so these are all received by me in advance, but they are very eager to meet you in person chat."
"Do they have an offer?"
"No, it's just an intention. As for the price, I'm afraid it won't come out until I see you."
To sell or not to sell, how to sell, this is a big question.
Compared with Jiang Hao, he is ready to introduce investment. After all, his strength is limited. VCD is not only a problem of selling machines, but also involves film and television copyright. If VCD is to continue to sell well, it is necessary to buy more songs, film and television copyright, production In this way, the entire ecological chain can be completed.
And this part of the resources are in the hands of big companies, and it may involve the whole world, and it is not something he can play alone.
"In this way, you send a notice in the name of the company. I am going to hold a small meeting. Anyone who wants to buy the equity company of Jianghao Electric Appliances can come to participate. Of course, you have to choose, and the small company will not come. Only those powerful groups are invited."
Kento Nakamura bowed and went out.
Three days later, it was still in the Japanese Peninsula Hotel, this time in a small conference room on the 10th floor. More than a dozen business representatives came to attend the meeting. Jiang Hao attracted everyone's attention as soon as he came out, although people had already reported his situation. I understand clearly, but seeing such a young and handsome person in person, I still can't believe it. It is this young man who has developed a gang and a striking company in a short period of time.
Jiang Hao sat down, glanced around and said, "Everyone, I think everyone's purpose here is basically the same. Now that the VCD is developing rapidly, it will definitely replace the original video recorder market, and the CD will also replace the old-fashioned video tape. This market is huge. Yes, the market size can reach 20 billion US dollars.”
Hearing Jiang Hao say this, many people frowned, because Jiang Hao saw it very clearly, so for them, the price will definitely exceed expectations.
"So I think $100 million per 5% of my company's share price is a reasonable price."
