Chapter 359 Like Efficiency
"Ms. An, I understand what you mean. Investment must be made at the beginning of the project to get the maximum profit. But how many TVs are there in Xiahua Country? We need to invest tens of thousands of dollars to purchase a cable TV system and lay the lines.
That's several million Canadian dollars or even more, and they have to face the reality of getting nothing. Moreover, Xiahua does not allow large-scale imports of foreign goods, and there is no income from the broadcast of advertisements in some programs.
So, I’m sorry we can’t take this deal.”
"No, Manager Hunter, this is because you don't know enough about the Xiahua market. Xiahua's economy is developing rapidly, people's consumption concepts are also changing, and televisions have begun to enter ordinary households.
Our TV station is currently undergoing renovation and new programmes will be released soon, which will definitely trigger a wave of television buying spree, making televisions, like tape recorders in previous years, a must-have item for weddings and becoming increasingly popular in both urban and rural areas.
Xiahua country has only been established for more than 20 years. The domestic environment is stable and is committed to pursuing all-round development. The people have initially achieved food and clothing, and it is time to pursue spiritual enrichment.
Moreover, the installation of cable TV systems can in turn promote television sales.
Our country has a population of 800 million. If you pay just a small portion of the cable TV fee, in three to five years you can not only get your investment back, but also make a fortune.
Furthermore, if the Xiahua Channel goes global, it will inevitably require foreign culture to enter Xiahua, so that the people's horizons and knowledge can be improved. Who can guarantee that there will be no economic exchanges between Xiahua and the international community in the future? This period will not be too long.
Now is the time when Xiahua's television industry is booming. Are you sure you don't want this cake that has already been put into the oven? If you are sure, then we will look for other partners. "
Huang Yaru translated An Zhixia's words verbatim. Her tone and expression were slightly exaggerated in some places where the words were emphasized, so that the other party could feel it clearly.
Therefore, Manager Hunter pursed his lips tightly and his mind was spinning rapidly. In his mind, he kept thinking about the 800 million people, the large items that must be included in weddings, and the promising trade exchanges in the future.
Even though he was not optimistic about Xiahua, the facts showed that Xiahua was a huge market, and its political stability was a time of rapid development in all aspects. You have to know that Xiahua's economy and culture used to be the best in the world, with rich heritage, and a temporary backwardness could not erase the wisdom and amazing creativity and imitation of the Xiahua people.
He was hesitant. Xia Hua was bound to be a tempting piece of cake, but it was still a little early. If someone else got there first, it would definitely be a huge loss for the company.
"Ms. An, an investment of millions is not a small amount. I have to discuss it with the leaders before giving you an answer." He gritted his teeth and delayed for the time being.
"Yes, I hope Mr. Hunter can do it as soon as possible. The business was proposed by me, so I have the following expectations for our cooperation. You should purchase a cable TV system that can radiate all first-tier cities in Xiahua and be responsible for laying the lines. After collecting the fees for five years, you should transfer the permanent use rights to our TV station free of charge.
Our TV station will open two additional channels for your company and will not charge any viewership share for ten years, but the programs of these two channels must undergo strict review by our organization before they can be broadcast. "
Manager Hunter was stunned and immediately retorted: "Ms. An, this is unfair. We invested in purchasing the system and laying the lines, and only then can we enjoy five years of fees and ten years of channel profit sharing. The programs also need to be reviewed by you? There is no need for me to discuss such harsh conditions at the company meeting."
"So Manager Hunter is giving up? Five years of fees will definitely make your company a lot of money. The profits from the two channels in the next ten years are the extra interest we give to you.
Think it over before you answer. You should know that this condition is not harsh, and I believe many companies are willing to accept it. After all, only through my signing of this contract can you share the Xiahua pie. "
"We can still discuss this. The cable TV system is our technological investment," said Manager Hunter, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He steadied his tone and said, "It will take 10 to 20 years for Xiahua to develop. If our company enjoys 20 years of cable TV fees and 70 years of full channel revenue sharing, then I can guarantee that I will sign this contract."
"Twenty years? Manager Hunter, you are too pessimistic about our Xiahua country's technology. In seven or eight years at most, our country will develop its own cable TV system. By then, why would we need TV stations from other countries to join us? And the seventy-year channel profit, the longest patent protection period is just that, right?
Manager Hunter, although we initiated the cooperation, the right to speak is in Xia Huaguo. This is the greatest benefit I can strive for in front of the organization. You know very well that your company can make a lot of money from such cooperation, but it is not as much as you expected.
If you refuse, I will contact Country Y TV. Manager Smith of their TV station is decisive and should be able to make a decision on the spot. Look, I should call Manager Smith first. Sorry to bother you..."
Without waiting for Huang Yaru to finish translating, Manager Hunter immediately said, "Ms. An, do we really have no room for negotiation?"
"We have been fighting with the organization for more than half a month, and this is the biggest concession. Otherwise, how could the organization allow foreign companies to settle in?"
"Ah, I finally understand why Ms. An organized such a wonderful program. Your ability is really overwhelming. We will have a meeting to discuss this matter tomorrow. If there is a result, we will reply to you at this time."
"Mr. Hunter, we Xiahua people like to work efficiently. Time is money. I hope we can know the result by this time tomorrow. Otherwise, there is no point in dragging it out. We will look for the next buyer..."
The other party naturally responded repeatedly, and only smiled bitterly after hanging up the phone. A young lady like Xia Huaguo actually forced him to lose his composure. There was no way. No one would be willing to refuse the huge benefits.
Huang Yaru was still surprised, and said with a smile: "Teacher Xiaoan, I have never felt Xia Huaguo's efficiency, and this is not the way to spend every penny."
An Zhixia nodded seriously: "It's a common phenomenon in society, but I hope to speak efficiently on our TV station."
Huang Yaru responded: "I am the first person to support you." Then she looked at An Zhixia with respect: "Where you go in the future, I will follow you."
An Zhixia raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and smiled: "I hope you can keep going."
