After bidding farewell to Ye Rongrong, Yang Dongxu went to the research laboratory to communicate with Milov about the current progress of computer hardware production.
At present, the research in the laboratory has fallen into a big bottleneck, and the progress of hard disk and memory has almost stalled. However, the sound card and graphics card have made unexpected progress.
Especially in terms of sound cards, among the top recording studio equipment technologies that are currently being launched with Heina as the lead, sound card technology plays a big role.
Many technologies are actually well-understood, or are linked to each other. When you overcome a technical difficulty, you can create several, or even a dozen extended products at the same time as long as you think divergently.
The recording equipment is an extension product developed by the current research laboratory based on the technology at hand. Although Yang Dongxu has never been short of funds in the research laboratory, everything is the best, and as long as he can buy it, he will bring it to the research laboratory at any cost. .
But Mirov also knows that he cannot keep making money. 3 is the extended harvest, and the same is true for recording equipment.
A recording studio costs $2 million, including all top-of-the-line equipment, shipping and installation. In short, you prepare an empty recording studio, then hand over the money and you don’t have to ask anything else.
After everything is installed, there will be technicians who will meet people from your company. You can do various tests on the spot. If you are not satisfied, we will debug it for you on the spot and if there is a quality problem, you will be refunded.
As soon as this price came out, some small record companies were naturally very reluctant. For a recording studio with a price of 2 million US dollars, their annual company profits may not be that much.
So I started looking for various connections, but after learning from past mistakes, no one came to touch Yang Dongxu's brow. So after final discussion, some of them had no choice but to cooperate to build such a recording studio.
Several small companies join together to build such a recording studio, and the right to use it is signed according to the proportion of investment. Larger companies wait until shareholders meet to report to their top management.
While Yang Dongxu was waiting for replies from several big customers, Fu Decai suddenly gave him a big gift package. The four major record companies, Universal Records, Sony Records, Warner Bros. and Rolling Stones, are actually planning to join forces with Heiner to hold a world-class concert.
As for the concert equipment, they hope that Heiner can provide it, because judging from the previous world tours of Heiner's singers, the equipment used is indeed top-notch.
Of course, they are also very interested in Heiner's recording studio and want to discuss how to expand cooperation in this area. These four are undoubtedly big customers. Yang Dongxu feels that if a recording studio does not only sell high-end products, and then quotes a starting price of US$5 million, it will not be able to live up to the status of these record companies in the world.
But he was also very curious about one thing: "Why do they hold world-class concerts? Is there any secret behind it?"
"I want to shuffle the small fish and shrimps currently on the market and further dominate the market." Fudecai explained.
With the development of the world economy in recent years, the development of the overseas entertainment market can be said to be rapid. Compared with the mainland, which started almost from scratch, foreign markets are undoubtedly much more mature.
Therefore, various small production companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. More importantly, these small companies have actually released some good albums. Some of them are on the major music charts, even surpassing the albums carefully produced by these world-class record companies. .
As for this small company, if it is in China, it will definitely be bullied in various ways. Unless you have people standing behind you, it will be annexed sooner or later. But in foreign countries, governments undoubtedly hope that the market can develop in a diversified way, and monopoly laws do exist and can be used.
And compared to the almost constant returns from investing in these big record companies, a lot of capital actually wants to support some capable small record companies. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the return on investment, it is more than ten times, or even dozens or hundreds of times, which can make a lot of money. And there are undoubtedly people behind these small record companies with capital, so it is more difficult to deal with.
So after much thought, and this year’s Hainer World Tour turned out well. The CEOs of the four record companies discussed it and decided that the five of us would join forces to shuffle the cards.
In fact, at the beginning, the four record companies had different opinions on whether to hire Heiner. Especially Sony and the Rolling Stones, who were very reluctant.
Originally, they were aggrieved to be beaten by Heiner in the Asian market. Fortunately, as old capital in the global market, they still have a lot of territory to draw money from.
Now that Haina has begun to get involved in overseas markets and prepare to attack, isn't it obvious that Haina is bringing ammunition to the opponent this time?
If this concert is a success, then whatever happens to the two of them in Asia from now on, we might as well leave everything to Heiner. Moreover, the money that the overseas Chinese have is the money in Rolling Stone's pocket. How can they forget to accept it and give it away even if they don't have time to hold it?
But the final result of the argument was that he was defeated by Heiner's latest technology recording studio. Although compact discs have been around for some time, tapes are still the main force in distributing albums around the world.
This is related to Yang Dongxu's intention to control technology, as well as the fact that his colleagues are enemies and were boycotted by some overseas entertainment companies. However, after these years of development, the optical disc market has actually matured, and suppression cannot be suppressed. We must take advantage of the trend and catch up with this train. Otherwise, if we fall behind, we will not just sit at the poker table and play cards, but be washed away.
Therefore, for various reasons, the four companies finally prepared to bring Hainer, but the condition was obviously that they wanted top-notch recording equipment and the technology to produce DVD albums.
"Do you think we can form an alliance with them for mutual benefit?" Yang Dongxu couldn't control his saliva when he thought of the combined influence and market resources controlled by these four companies. If the interests of these four companies can be tied up with each other, Haina will really soar into the sky.
"It's difficult. There is no problem with cooperation in some areas, but it is too difficult to advance and retreat together. After all, when the market divides the cake, we don't have much confidence now. If you give less, you will definitely not want to give them more. Not willing." Fu Decai obviously understood Yang Dongxu's character very well, so he hit the point directly.
"Okay, that's true." Yang Dongxu nodded helplessly.
The only reason why I want to get on the big boat of these four companies is to quickly develop Haina. Although market profits are growing every year, why should people share more with you when they can have more? And if you raise Haina, wouldn't you be looking for a rival for yourself? It's good enough if you don't stumble and use dirty tricks. It seems that it is too naive to think of being a smooth sailing boat.
"The recording studio equipment is easy to talk about, and the DVD album production technology is also easy to talk about. Even helping them burn tapes and burn discs is no problem. But these businesses must bundle some things into it. Don't foreigners like to bundle some useless things with backward technology and sell them at a high price? ?We also bundle, but we don’t bundle technology, we bundle Haina.”
"you mean?"
"Technical equipment can be provided, and even technology authorization is acceptable. But I want Haina to have some convenience rights overseas. Or they must provide us with convenience when necessary, or even help with publicity." Yang Dongxu said directly.
"Um..." Fu Decai frowned on the other side of the phone.
Everyone is a peer, and the rise of a powerful company is equivalent to touching other people's cakes. Although they may make more and more money, their market share is divided. So boycotting Heiner was inevitable, but now Heiner actually asked the other party to open the door and let them in. This idea was simply crazy.
"You should discuss it with Luo Wenhua first, put forward all the possible requests, and see how they react. If you have something to talk about, just talk about it. If you don't have to talk about it, talk about the things that don't need to be discussed." Yang Dongxu knew Fu Decai's Hesitating for something, he spoke.
"I understand, I'll give it a try." Fu Decai nodded.
This is obviously a matter of whether you can hit a shot if you have dates or not. If you can hit it, you will make a profit. As for whether you can't hit it, let's talk about it. According to his understanding of Yang Dongxu's character, even if Zao cannot be defeated, cooperation in other aspects will still continue.
After all, you don’t have to be a bastard if you have money, but if there is no date, then the price of the equipment and the licensing of some key technologies during the cooperation will obviously be compromised even if the other party pays a high price. To sum it up, I have technology in my hand. If you want it, it’s fine. If you don’t give me some blood, you won’t be able to take it away.
As for developing your own technology, or imitating technology. Sorry, all newly developed technologies by Dongxu Technology have registered patents internationally and are protected by international patent laws.
At present, all kinds of companies turn a blind eye to patent laws and like all kinds of copycats. A promising market that can be developed is the mainland. The mainland is Haina's base camp. If you come in on your own and you can't take care of yourself without fighting, it proves that Haina is incompetent.
Therefore, as long as they do not want to face lawsuits and face huge compensation, they will definitely not be able to avoid Dongxu Technology. Even if some technology is finally developed, the patent fees for key technologies must be paid.
"Meet again?" After leaving the recording studio order to Ye Rongrong, Yang Dongxu was thinking about taking advantage of the summer vacation to go abroad. Because Zhou Ya had urged several times, the Dongxu Network Technology Company established in the United States was already up and running. Yes, let him go over to see what needs improvement. He received another call from Zong Qinghou.
"It's like this. I need to go to the United States here. Can we come back and talk about it? How long? About a month." Yang Dongxu was going to delay it for a while.
To be honest, he was really unsure about whether to start a bank. And because he has channels to earn foreign exchange, whether it is loans or financing for his companies, it is actually very convenient and there is no need to add extraneous details. After all, he was really unfamiliar with this water, and it was still very deep.
"How was it?" After Zong Qinghou finished the call, Yu Qipeng next to him asked.
The two of them were in Qi Peng's office at this time, as for Shi Dazui, who had been running around with them to contact people. At this time, he was worried about his giant building again.
In fact, at this time, Yu Qipeng and others tend to find another strong shareholder to come in, which is also related to Shi Niuren's current situation.
Shi Niuren, who saw the right opportunity and used Hanka to jump up and instantly accumulate a lot of wealth, is now trapped in the quagmire of the Giant Building. The drawings of the building were changed again and again, and the floor designs were higher and higher. And he began to get closer and closer to the abyss. Judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility of falling into a pit.
Although the other party has no intention of setting up a bank to invest in money, it is obviously impossible to borrow power from this shareholder within a period of time, so they have to tie one up to get on board. What's more, this person is very beneficial to them and everyone is optimistic about the target.
"He is planning to go abroad and said we would talk when he comes back in a month." Zong Qinghou said with a frown.
"Is this a disguised refusal?" Yu Qipeng also frowned. There are indeed many benefits to bringing Yang Dongxu in, but if the other party doesn't want to get on the ship, this will be a big problem.
And if there is another problem if we talk about it in a month, it is that their actions have been noticed by other state-owned banks. Recently, they have put a lot of pressure on them, overtly and covertly, and some have even started to go straight to Huaxiu to prepare for discounts. , if you wait any longer, you will really have long nights and lots of dreams.
