Chapter 217 Who thinks the money is too much?
"Who would have thought that the higher-ups would spend so much effort praising an internet celebrity." Xu Fang sighed.
Xu Youyou nodded. The country has always paid special attention to online public opinion. In recent years, it has attached great importance to protecting traditional culture and has long wanted to present the country's business card to the world.
Xu Youyou was also surprised that Qing Yatou's video caught the attention of the higher-ups so quickly.
"The beauty of intangible cultural heritage and unique craftsmanship" are the headlines of the newspaper in Xu Youyou's hand, and the accompanying picture is a photo of Qing Yatou wearing Hanfu and making ink sticks.
What Xu Youyou didn't expect was Xie Ran.
"Boss, do you still remember our small business? We used to sell electric vehicles, pressure cookers and other things. Before you filmed the video, I asked someone to store a lot of Hui ink, and now it's selling like hot cakes overseas."
Xu Youyou was stunned when she heard this. She almost forgot about this small business of "arms dealer". She didn't expect Xie Ran was still thinking about it. He could obviously start his own business, but he still worked diligently and put Xu Youyou first.
"How much did you earn?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xie Ran casually said, "Boss, do you want to ask how much the ink stick business has made? The ink stick business has made 50 million in the past few days."
"How much? How much stock do you have?" Xu Youyou thought she had heard it wrong.
Even if Qing Yatou's video goes viral abroad and spreads widely, she won't make that much money.
Xie Ran said casually: "Foreigners are also superstitious. When they hear that this Hui ink can bring good luck, foreign friends will buy it in droves."
Xu Youyou: ...
She also didn't expect that superstition was a common problem among people all over the world.
“Besides, our pricing is also on the high side.”
Xu Youyou listened to what Xie Ran said and asked carefully, "How high did you set the price?"
"The price tag directly multiplied the domestic price tenfold."
Foreign trade is a highly profitable industry, and Xu Youyou felt that the price did not seem particularly outrageous.
But Xie Ran added: "Then the currency unit was changed to US dollars."
Xu Youyou immediately calculated: seventy times! She suddenly felt that being a profiteer also requires a strong psychological quality. She always felt uneasy when selling a hundred-yuan item for seven thousand yuan.
Xie Ran was not embarrassed at all, but said: "Boss, don't worry, although our prices are high, the product quality is acceptable and the packaging is also very beautiful. Those foreigners like it very much, and they even have to thank us!"
Xu Youyou felt that she had found Xie Ran, which was really a treasure. She once again mentioned the importance of this business: "Well, are other goods selling well?"
Xie Ran was very knowledgeable when talking about business, and explained: "Boss, although we are not specialized in foreign trade business and have only been in the industry for a short time, we have strong capital and a wide range of products. We have also made a name for ourselves abroad, and our other businesses have a stable customer base, making at least 100 million yuan in profit every month."
Xu Youyou's breathing tightened. For a moment, she didn't know what words to use to praise Xie Ran. She could only say that he was worthy of being a top billionaire in the future, and his brain was really useful.
"Boss, Peter's game has finally completed its year-end settlement last year. He called me yesterday and said that the funds may be remitted to the country in the next few days."
Xu Youyou felt that the good news today seemed to be endless: "How much?"
"You are the major shareholder of the game company, and you hold the largest share. After deducting the reserved operating funds and taxes for this year, 2 billion US dollars will be deposited into your domestic account."
Xu Youyou suddenly felt that the previous 50 million and 100 million were too weak. 2 billion US dollars, converted to 14 billion RMB! The key is that this game has only been online for half a year and has not yet reached its peak! No wonder people say that big companies in the gaming industry are cash cows. She just bet on a hit game, and the money she invested previously has been returned tenfold or a hundredfold, and there will be a steady stream of funds deposited into her account in the future.
Xie Ran said: "Boss, we had no experience last year, so we should have established several companies abroad earlier."
Xu Youyou asked without hesitation: "Why do you want to set up a company abroad?"
"To avoid taxes. You received the dividend as an individual and paid nearly half of the tax. If you set up a few charitable foundations, I am sure you can pay at least 20% less in taxes." Xie Ran explained.
Xu Youyou suddenly felt pained when she heard this. If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have lost hundreds of millions of US dollars.
"Mr. Xie, I feel uncomfortable when you say that. Please give me some good news to cheer me up!" Xu Youyou said anxiously.
Xie Ran on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing: "The other news can only be said to be small news. Teacher Xiao Song has just been nominated for the Best Actor in the Golden Deer Awards. He is too young and this is his first TV series, so he probably won't win the award."
Xu Youyou nodded casually. After careful calculation, she had only invested tens of millions in Song Zhibai, but after becoming a top star, the profit it brought her was already hundreds of millions.
"Teacher Xiao Song's new TV series has also been sold. There are 20 episodes in total, and each episode costs 30 million. It has broken the record for the unit price of domestic TV series." Xie Ran said.
Xu Youyou immediately calculated, six hundred million! She remembered that Song Zhibai's TV series was an urban idol drama, and the script was written by Su Wanyi.
Song Zhibai is an artist of the company, so his salary is not high. The total cost of filming is just over 50 million.
Selling 600 million yuan in one go means the company has already made back ten times its investment before the film even aired.
For a long time, the price of ancient costume dramas in the TV drama market has been higher than that of modern idol dramas. The reason is simple: ancient costume idol dramas are more likely to become popular.
The last time modern idol dramas became popular in the country was eight years ago.
The fact that the film buyer is willing to pay such a high price shows how optimistic they are about this TV series.
"Boss, Aunt Li's account is now profitable and can earn a small million every month."
Xu Youyou was happier to hear this news than when Song Zhibai earned 600 million yuan: "You must tell Aunt Li about this."
Aunt Li, who raises cats and dogs in her villa in the capital, always felt that she was taking advantage of Xu Youyou. Now that the account is profitable, Aunt Li can raise the cats and dogs with more peace of mind.
Xu Youyou has heard Xie Ran report the profit news several times in this month, but she still never gets tired of listening to it. After all, who can refuse the good news of making a lot of money again?
"Boss, Miss He doesn't dare to disturb you on your vacation, so she wants me to ask you, since you are staying in Huangshan now, do you have any old things of Mr. Cheng Dawei? It is said that someone has asked the He family for help and wants to collect one or two things of Mr. Cheng's things."
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows when she heard that. It was like a pillow falling on someone's face when she dozed off. She just didn't know how to deal with Cheng Dawei's greed, but she didn't expect the He family to come to her for help.
