Fan Shilun sat upright and answered the boss's question quickly:
"My basis is that the karaoke industry will definitely explode, and the relevant equipment will be in short supply. It's just that it's too expensive to buy from Japanese companies. In the future, domestic equipment will definitely replace imported equipment."
Fan Shilun's focus is on cost. It's much more expensive to buy equipment of similar quality from Japanese companies.
At present, the domestic home appliance industry is on the rise. Through reasonable resource allocation, it is not difficult to produce karaoke equipment in China. Of course, the company will not directly do this, but will choose a potential company to invest.
"Okay! I'll think about it."
Du Shaojie did not express his opinion on the spot. When Liang Meiqin and Winnie's investigation results are out, he will appoint Fan Shilun as "senior business manager" and take full responsibility for this matter.
After sending Fan Shilun away, Du Shaojie held a meeting and decided to conduct a financial audit of the company from now on.
This is a normal procedure. There will be several large and small audits within the company every year. This is not a question of trust or distrust, but is determined by the corporate system.
"Mr. Du, this is the investigation report. Mr. Liang and I both think that the project proposed by Fan Shilun is feasible."
A few days later.
Winnie sent the investigation report to Du Shaojie and approved the suggestions put forward by Fan Shilun.
Du Shaojie immediately appointed Fan Shilun as the senior business manager to be fully responsible for this project.
Fan Shilun immediately took people to Shenzhen and began to contact many companies. Finally, he chose a company that produces audio-visual equipment. The scale of this company is not large, but the technical strength is relatively good, and it also intends to become bigger and stronger.
The negotiations between the two parties are divided into two parts. The first is to order two sets of karaoke equipment, and the second is that Dingxin International will invest in the other company.
After Du Shaojie returned from Hong Kong, he communicated with Xu Bo and Pang Weidong and persuaded them to accept domestically assembled products. At this stage, it is not realistic to directly fully localize. This requires a step-by-step process.
"In the future, we will also roll out all over the country. There are many equipments that need to be ordered in karaoke bars. If the products assembled in the mainland can be used, then we can save a lot of money."
Du Shaojie's reasons are very sufficient, and Xu Bo and Pang Weidong are moved.
Finally, everyone reached a consensus and decided to order two sets of equipment directly from a company in Shenzhen. This company was exactly the target that Fan Shilun was going to invest in.
To be honest, the technological content of karaoke equipment is not very high.
The company's technical personnel had previously conducted research and development, and through item-by-item procurement, they used domestic components if there were domestic ones, and imported ones if there were no domestic ones, and then successfully assembled the first set of karaoke equipment in China.
After testing, all indicators of the equipment fully met the standards, and the product quality was not necessarily worse than imported goods, but the price dropped a lot.
When the goods were inspected, Xu Bo expressed his satisfaction.
In the process, Fan Shilun also negotiated with the other company, invested 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and obtained 30% of the company's shares. Dingxin International does not participate in the operation, but will send people to supervise financial and other aspects.
There is still about 60 million Hong Kong dollars left in the company's (Hong Kong dollar) account.
"Ajie, you really know how to seize investment opportunities. How does the saying go? If there are conditions, we should go ahead. If there are no conditions, we should create conditions and go ahead. However, this is indeed a blessing for us. It can also reduce some costs if we continue to expand in the future."
Pang Weidong did not wait for the new store to open, and took the opportunity to return to Beijing with Du Shaojie.
He felt that Du Shaojie's move was simply a stroke of genius and was good news for the entire karaoke industry.
"This matter was proposed by an employee of the company, and he is also operating it personally. It seems to be working well at present."
Du Shaojie chatted with the other party all the way. After arriving in Beijing, they went back to their respective homes. Both of them had cars to pick up people directly at the airport, which was very convenient.
After returning home, Qi Yan, who was a little bloated, asked the nanny to cook for the man. Because of her current inconvenience in movement, her mother was almost inseparable from her, so the family hired a nanny.
The chef training school has been expanding, and Qi Yan is not idle.
After dinner, Du Shaojie accompanied Qi Yan for a walk outside. The two chatted while walking and strolled for more than an hour before returning home.
"I want to eat the white-cut chicken you made."
Qi Yan has a good appetite recently and has gained weight. But she can't care about her figure at this time. She eats whatever she wants, all for nutrition.
She has been craving for [white-cut chicken] these days, and just when her man came back, she talked about it.
"No problem, I'll make it for you tomorrow."
Du Shaojie smiled and nodded, and went to bed early after taking a shower.
The next day.
He and Zou Xiaohe went to the market to buy vegetables, personally selected the ingredients, and started to get busy when they got home.
In addition to [white-cut chicken], he also made [Hakka stuffed tofu], an innovative version of [Mapo tofu], [steamed sea bass] and a [vegetarian assortment] at noon.
Du Shaojie then had lunch with Qi Yan and his mother-in-law. He found that Qi Yan's appetite had increased greatly, and most of a white-cut chicken went into her stomach.
This was particularly obvious as her belly grew bigger and bigger.
"How did you make this [Mapo Tofu]? It's different from what I've had before, and it tastes delicious."
In addition to [Boiled Chicken], Qi Yan also likes to eat the innovative version of [Mapo Tofu]. Although Du Shaojie has made this dish many times, it was still in the research stage before, so
he didn't serve it to his family. After so many years of repeated polishing, this dish has basically taken shape, but it was the first time he made it for his family.
"This is a dish I improved myself. I added crab roe and crab meat to the tofu. If you like it, I can make it often."
Du Shaojie explained, and then went to the yard with Qi Yan to exercise.
When the other party took a nap, he went out and went to the teahouse to find Pang Weidong. Pang Weidong called in the morning and said that there were some things he needed to talk about, so he arranged to meet here.
"Ajie, come and sit."
Du Shaojie walked into the private room. Pang Weidong smiled and waved his hand, so he walked over and sat down.
"What happened?"
After Du Shaojie sat down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then asked directly.
He and the other party just came back from the south together. If there was nothing, Pang Weidong would not be so anxious to meet.
"It's about the karaoke bar. When we came back from our trip, there were three more karaoke bars in Beijing. These guys are moving too fast.
I think we should speed up our layout across the country. If we get up early and catch up late, won't we lose money?"
It turned out that Pang Weidong had a sense of crisis. He was very concerned about the business of karaoke bars. Someone told him the news as soon as he came back. He didn't sleep well last night.
"Okay, I have no objection. Let's discuss it with Mr. Xu later. Let's start increasing capital and expanding shares. However, it's better to let Mr. Xu come up with the specific plan himself, so that he won't have any ideas."
Du Shaojie thought this matter was also very simple, that is, to quickly occupy the market by spending money.
By the time everyone started to follow suit, he had already established a firm foothold and started to make a profit. When the first batch of followers tasted the sweetness, he should have made his money back.
The next step is pure profit. Various marketing methods can be bombarded in turn to strive to maintain a leading position.
When everyone rushes in, you can consider gradually withdrawing. At that time, you should quickly transform yourself into a "KTV". This is the benefit of being fast at every step.
Du Shaojie briefly told Pang Weidong about his ideas, and Pang Weidong was stunned.
"Ajie, you are really this!"
Pang Weidong used to think that Du Shaojie's cooking skills were unparalleled and he had a deep understanding of the catering industry. Unexpectedly, the other party was actually a business genius. The ideas proposed by the other party simply made him amazed.
After a long pause, he gave Du Shaojie a thumbs up.
Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hand. He didn't think he was a "business genius". He just had a few decades more experience than others, and this was the key to his frequent fantastic ideas.
In the afternoon.
Du Shaojie called Xu Bo and proposed extraordinary development suggestions.
Some time ago, Xu Bo learned a lot from Du Shaojie through casual chats. His feelings were similar to Pang Weidong's. He admired Du Shaojie and obeyed him.
"Okay! You and Mr. Pang wait for me in Beijing. I'll go there in the next two days. Let's talk about it when we meet."
Xu Bo then rushed to Beijing. He, Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong began to discuss the matter of increasing capital and expanding shares.
At this stage, karaoke bars have just started in China. If you miss this golden period of development, you will regret it.
Xu Bo proposed to increase capital in proportion, and he personally transferred 5% of the shares to Pang Weidong. This part of the shares has a certain degree of premium, but Pang Weidong doesn't care. It doesn't matter if he spends a little more money. He cares more about the shares.
In this way, the company's shareholding ratio becomes Xu Bo 60%, Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong 20% each.
Then everyone doubled the investment according to the shareholding ratio. In addition, Pang Weidong, who has recovered, borrowed a sum of money from the bank for [Yuedong Entertainment], totaling 50 million yuan.
[Yuedong Entertainment] began to recruit a large number of employees with work experience, and 20 karaoke bars were opened in major cities, starting a rapid expansion.
With short time and heavy tasks, the two shareholders Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong were also mobilized by Xu Bo to supervise the opening of new stores in various places.
Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli, Zou Xiaohe and Zhong Qing to several major cities in central and southern China. While supervising the preparation and construction of the project, he tasted local delicacies and learned a lot of local specialties in the process.
The preparation and construction of a karaoke bar is not complicated, but the decoration takes some time.
[Yuedong Karaoke Bar] was quickly rolled out in cities across the country and effectively occupied the market. However, the process was not smooth sailing, and they were also blocked by local forces in various places.
At this time, Xu Bo was very glad to find a partner like Pang Weidong. (End of this chapter)
