Chapter 373 It's Not Cost-Effective

Manager Hunter was tickled by her words and quickly said, "Ms. An, everyone in your company respects you very much, otherwise you wouldn't have sent me here in person to negotiate the contract.

If you have any ideas or requests, just let us know and we will try our best to meet them."

An Zhixia sighed softly: "How about Manager Hunter, can you tell me the psychological expectation number?"

"Ms. An, what do you mean by that?"

"That is, how many users do you expect Xia Huaguo to have in the next five years, and how much profit you expect to make. This way, I can also see how effective the promotion is," An Zhixia chuckled and said, "Manager Hunter, think it over first. You should know that I don't like being tested by others."

Manager Hunter thought for a moment and said seriously, "Ms. An, the cable TV system is very expensive. One system costs one million Canadian dollars, which is two million RMB. Ten systems cost twenty million dollars, plus the cost of cables, installation and maintenance, etc. It can be said that our cost will reach twenty-seven million dollars in five years.

Even if our requirements are not high, we should at least make twice as much as we recover our costs, right? After all, this is a highly profitable industry that relies on technology, and our profit requirements are really not high. "

"Eighty-one million dollars?" An Zhixia raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Manager Hunter, is a cable system really worth one million Canadian dollars? I heard that the price was cheaper than this more than ten years ago. Your company only spent more than 700,000 Canadian dollars to acquire two cable TV systems in the first year, right?"

Manager Hunter couldn't hide his surprise.

He continued, sweat on his forehead, trying to act calm: "Ms. An, technology is developing very rapidly now, and cable TV systems are also being updated very quickly. What we provide to your country is the latest cable TV system, which is naturally expensive.

Moreover, this batch of systems are capable of receiving satellite signals. Even if they are TV programs from other countries, there is no need to airlift the recorded programs to the destination as in the past. The signal broadcast can be received instantly.

One million Canadian dollars is a discounted price our company received.”

"Manager Hunter, as far as I know, the number of cable TV systems abroad is increasing at a rate of one per week. If they are all mass-produced, will the price still remain high? If I am not mistaken, the one million Canadian dollars you quoted can buy at least three cable systems.

Your cost in five years is at most 10 million yuan. So after deducting the cost from the 81 million yuan, you will make a net profit of 70 million yuan," Manager Hunter's pupils involuntarily shrank every time An Zhixia said a number.

Without waiting for his reply, An Zhixia continued slowly: "Although your company has been established for more than ten years, the revenue is not as high as you expected from Xia Hua. You claim to be the largest cable TV network in Canada, with an annual revenue of 81 million Canadian dollars, but in fact, you have been losing money for the past two years, right?

And the loss is still eight or nine million a year!

Manager Hunter, tell me why you expect so much from Xia Hua's profits? 70 million yuan is enough to buy out seven systems and cables."

Manager Hunter's sweat was already pouring down his forehead. He forced a smile and asked, "Ms. An, how did you get these data?"

"I asked some questions and calculated some of them. Although I can't get an exact number, it gives me a rough idea," she said with a smile. "Any cooperation can be bid. Canada is not the only country that has the strength and financial resources to enter the Xiahua TV network system."

"We have signed the contract," Manager Hunter finally regained his consciousness, exhaled a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile. He was almost led astray by An Zhixia.

"I know," An Zhixia took a sip of tea. "You've said before that the consumption concept of the Chinese people is not as good as that of Canada. The number of users who will join the network in the next five years may not be very optimistic. Since you're looking for me to do the promotion, you have to come up with a very realistic expected profit.

You can't even make profits in your own country, so why bother a woman like me?"

"Of course the more the better. Ms. An, just use all your skills to promote it. Our company will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

"One thousandth of the profit? Or one percent of the profit?" She raised her eyebrows and sneered.

Manager Hunter smiled awkwardly, "One percent profit is not low for an individual."

An Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "If you add another 50 cable TV systems and 10 million meters of cable within five years, how about I help you realize a profit of 120 million? I want a 2% share!"

"Ms. An, a profit of 120 million is not a small amount," Manager Hunter couldn't help swallowing, looking at the young, beautiful and extremely confident An Zhixia, and said with a trembling voice. "If you can really make that much profit, then I can promise you a 2% share."

An Zhixia nodded: "Words are not enough, let's sign a contract! If I can generate a profit of 120 million, the extra profit will belong to Xia Huaguo. If the profit does not reach 120 million, Canada can collect cable TV fees for another five years."

Manager Hunter thought about it carefully, and soon agreed. He quickly called the lawyer and asked him to draft a contract. If An Zhixia hadn't promoted it, given Xia Huaguo's current situation, they might not be able to make back their capital in five years, let alone make a profit of 100 million!

Even though he knew that Xia Huaguo could make more profit, he had no choice but to accept the contract.

While on board, the two parties signed a contract for publicity and collection.

After sitting on the boat for more than two days, everyone reached the shore and stepped firmly on the ground, but they still felt shaking all over.

The TV station had received a call from Meng Han and sent a bus to the dock to pick them up.

There were a lot of cables on the cargo ship, which were then pulled to Kyoto one by one by the transport team's trucks.

The leaders of the Culture and Sports Department and the station directors personally went to the door of the TV station to greet them. After the group exchanged greetings and settled down, An Zhixia handed the two contracts to the station director.

The director's heart trembled subconsciously, and he carefully read through the documents. When he saw the second contract, he jumped up in shock. "Deputy An, are you crazy? You want to generate 180 million yuan in revenue in five years, including costs? That means you have to collect 36 million yuan in cable TV fees a year. Even if you sell our station, you can't make back that much!

This contract is obviously not in our favor. If the revenue reaches 180 million, wouldn't it be equivalent to us buying their systems and equipment and paying tens of millions in profit? If we don't reach this standard, they will have to charge for another five years.

No matter how you calculate it, it’s not worth it for our Xia Hua country!"

An Zhixia curved her lips and said, "How could that be?"
