"I still want to apologize. I once held a conference in mainland China to recruit agents. One agent was set up in each city. The agent had to pay a certain agency fee in order to get the goods."
We mainly supply foreign businesses and mainland agents now, and this is all being completed gradually according to plan. To be honest, I didn't expect the Hong Kong market at the time," Xing Baohua said, shrugging.
He then added, "I have a flagship showroom here. I plan to use it as a model store to sell some of my products. Mr. Guan, I'll add another hundred units of equipment for you every month."
General Manager Guan also curled his lip, "What can a hundred units do? How much money can you make?" At the same time, he thought to himself: Xing Baohua is lacking in strategic planning.
With such a large free market as Hong Kong, and people coming and going from all over the world, using Hong Kong as a springboard, you can sell to the whole world.
With the increasing number of units demanding the goods, Xing Baohua is lucky if he can squeeze out a hundred units.
Then Xing Baohua asked General Manager Guan if they wanted to sign a purchase contract for next year.
While Mr. Guan was considering his options, Xing Baohua explained that there would definitely be more orders at next year's Canton Fair, and if they signed the contract early, he could arrange production to increase the volume for them sooner.
On the spot, Mr. Guan, representing HK Telecom, agreed to sign the purchase contract. However, the signing will not take place today, but the day after tomorrow.
Before signing the contract, a small request was made: HK Telecom must have the exclusive right to operate all of Xing Baohua's communication equipment.
Xing Baohua shook his head slightly and said, "If you get the exclusive rights, what will happen to my flagship store?"
We'd rather have lower agency fees than be exclusive; that would be a bottleneck.
Competition is the source of motivation.
If an exclusive agreement is signed, what happens if the agent in Shenzhen lets in counterfeit goods? Who's responsible then?
At the same time, we told Mr. Guan that the flagship model store is the after-sales service center in each region. He has set up a model store in every city in China, which not only showcases and sells products, but also provides a perfect after-sales experience, etc.
Seeing that they couldn't control Xing Baohua, the other party had no choice but to give up.
After everyone left, Xing Baohua asked Yu Shenghai, "Contact the other two telecommunications operators and talk to them!"
"Okay, boss. Is it true that we don't supply large quantities of goods here?" Yu Shenghai asked.
"It's not that we don't want to supply, it's just that we don't have that much production capacity. By the way, how's the acquisition of overseas electronic copyrights going?" Xing Baohua asked.
Yu Shenghai knew that Xing Baohua was asking about the acquisition of Da Meizi Country, and that things were going very well so far.
I didn't encounter any buyers who were asking for an exorbitant price. I sold the property if the other party felt it was suitable.
After all, I've never seen digital audio and video played on computers and digital devices before. As for the future, who knows?
This matter should be handled according to the principle of treating them differently from the Japanese.
The Japanese have bought out all the rights, and even songs released now will automatically be included in the copyright. They'll take as many songs as they can get, and the electronic copyrights for the next forty years will expire in 2025.
The trap is simply information differentiation. Even if we calculate now, MP3s won't appear for another twenty years.
There's been nearly a decade of information asymmetry; the Japanese aren't gods, and they certainly can't see that far ahead. Even if Sony falters, wouldn't they still agree? The key issue is price.
Sony Pictures Entertainment's acquisition is the biggest success. What if the Japanese want to take back the new copyrights? They'll abandon the old company and start a new one.
When singers from old record labels collectively switch to new ones, the songs or films they produce are no longer tied to their old record labels.
Of course, legal proceedings can also be taken to cancel this domineering and monopolistic contract.
That's all ten years from now. Xing Baohua might be able to break even on this investment.
However, while the US can operate this way initially, it needs to share profits later. Otherwise, it can easily turn against them. They could even sue Xing Baohua for market monopoly.
The money they earned wasn't even enough to pay the fines.
Yu Shenghai said that things were operating normally in Europe and America. Acquisitions were proceeding gradually.
There was something that Xing Baohua needed to decide: the employees from the intelligence department and the investment department had sent back information about the situation they encountered while acquiring the animation.
There was a well-known comic book company that wanted to sell a portion of its shares. They were facing financial difficulties and needed some financing. Fortunately, when they were discussing the digital rights, the other party asked if they would buy their shares.
Xing Baohua chuckled upon hearing this, unsure whether it was DC or Weiman.
It seems that Wyman isn't doing very well right now.
This company has experienced many economic crises since its inception, and it seems to have been on the verge of bankruptcy in its later years.
Would they go around giving away those hero IPs now?
Xing Baohua asked Yu Shenghai, "Buy both DC and Marvel, not just shares, but also the copyrights to their heroes."
"We've bought all the digital rights, 250,000 yuan per digital rights."
"We're not just looking for electronic rights, but also the adaptation rights for print and film/television adaptations. Our main acquisition targets are superhero rights: Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Catwoman."
Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Captain America, and other rebellious figures…
Xing Baohua wrote down everything he could think of on a piece of paper and asked Yu Shenghai to tell the people in Da Meizi Country to import and purchase it.
As for the shares.
After thinking about it, I decided to buy some. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sold him the copyrights so readily!
When Marvel does a little better, sell your shares and you can make a fortune just by holding the copyrights.
Let Yu Shenghai go ahead and do his work. Xing Baohua stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sea view outside.
The location is good; you can at least see Victoria Harbour.
There are quite a few ships on the sea, including cargo ships and yachts.
A moment later, there was a knock on the office door. The receptionist led Xing Baohua's secretary in.
