Chapter 330 The embarrassment of peers
Lin Ping's words made the three of them competitive in chasing interests.
Although Lin Ping also maintained a baseline for the price of red and white machines, the price was US$200.
As for what price the three people can sell in North America and how much profit they can get is their personal ability.
Even if he sells for $300 per unit, Lin Ping will not be envious and jealous, but will be very encouraged.
However, if the price is too high, the product will be unsold.
Once the product is unsold, the overall profit will drop significantly.
Lin Ping did not want to see this phenomenon, so he set a sales base for the three people. If this sales volume is not reached, he will consider revoking the agency rights.
However, although a baseline for sales price was also drawn this time, this baseline is indeed elastic and if it cannot be sold at a higher price.
Lin Ping can consider reducing the selling price by $5,000 to maintain the profits of three people.
This huge concession was naturally very happy for the three of them.
Since the European market has signed a super order of 100,000 units, the price of 5,000 US dollars can basically be accepted by the market.
If Lin Ping chooses to make concessions at this time, it means that the profit given out is their income.
"The other party's purchase volume is so large, it is estimated that according to the psychological expectations of other traditional industries when purchasing. They definitely believe that the larger the purchase volume, the cheaper the price will be.
But we will do our best to negotiate a good price with them. We will complete all price negotiations as soon as possible." Mu Yanfei hesitated and took a look. After his brother reached a glance with Liu, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility for the negotiation.
"Very good, I look forward to you having a good result. This order can bring tens of millions of dollars in after-tax income to each of you. I hope you can seize this opportunity. While quickly increasing your wealth, you can also make a splash with this order, so that the media in the North American market will notice your existence." Even if this order is only 300 US dollars in pre-tax profit per unit. Three people can earn 60 million US dollars. As long as you avoid taxes, you can trust each of the three people to get at least 15 million US dollars.
In this era, 15 million US dollars is not a small number.
Even in the era of the Internet explosion, 15 million US dollars can make a person live without worries about food and clothing.
After Liu Dacheng watched Mu Yanfei take on all the negotiation tasks, he didn't say anything. After all, the burden on him is not light now.
The acquisition of DC has reached a deadlock, and the stock will not usher in a major breakthrough for the time being. In addition, DC has decided to go public as a whole, so it is even more unlikely that anyone is willing to sell their stocks in their hands within the time.
Unless you give a sky-high price, everyone is willing to wait until it goes public and look for a more suitable selling opportunity.
On Marvel, Lin Ping's stock holdings have now reached 50%, and it is basically a foregone conclusion to hold the company.
Even if you spend a sky-high price to acquire 1% of the shares, it is extremely cost-effective.
After all, if you increase by another 1%, you can completely control the company.
At that time, no matter how other shareholders do any tricks, they will be unable to make any decisions about the company.
If Lin Ping wants to acquire the remaining 49% of the shares in these people's hands, the situation will become much easier.
As long as Lin Ping keeps the company in a loss-making state for a long time and his performance declines seriously, I believe that those investors will only sell their stocks obediently.
After all, no one wants to watch the stocks in their hands depreciate seriously.
In addition, a small animation company is not Lin Ping's main business. Even if the company is in a loss-making state for a long time, it will not affect Lin Ping's overall profitability.
This kind of acquisition is basically malicious. Sometimes buying a company is not to let it develop, but to destroy it.
In the era of the Internet explosion, Pepsi and Coca-Cola were not at the forefront of China.
I remember that all kinds of Coke companies were spread across the country, and almost every province had its own Coke brand.
This kind of scene of chaos in the princes is obviously very unfavorable for Pepsi and Coca-Cola to enter this market.
So the two companies launched a price war while acquiring local Coke companies on a large scale.
The foreign brands acquired by the company are not for the purpose of continuing to develop.
It is impossible for a group company to acquire many miscellaneous Coke companies around the world, and it is impossible for it to work hard to manage dozens or even hundreds of Coke brands of various brands.
Eliminating them and letting their brand eat up their market share is one of the most beneficial choices for you.
The acquired factories can transform and produce their own Coke brand.
After all, even without these acquisitions, these foreign brands will have to invest in and start their own production bases after entering one market after another.
The best way to deal with these Coke brands that already have market status is to waving their checks to buy them.
Once you meet those guys who don’t charge money and those foreign brands want to occupy the entire market, they will use the thickness of capital to launch a price war.
Pepsi and Coca-Cola once used a saturation-type impact on third- and fourth-tier cities at one dollar price, and used losses to exchange for market share.
The money lost is nothing more than an advertising fee for them.
The group company is so huge that it has no influence on the entire group if it loses a little money.
For those small and medium-sized brands and small manufacturers in China, they do not have that much cash in their bank accounts to fight price wars.
Pepsi and Coca-Cola even joined forces to acquire all raw materials in China, using the market supply and demand relationship model to force the raw materials for Coke to increase the price.
Just like making bread with flour.
If the price of flour is more expensive than finished bread.
Then the bread-producing companies either choose to raise prices or operate at a loss.
If you operate at a loss, it depends on their capital. Without sufficient cash support, you will not be able to win this price war.
Once the price increases, consumers will immediately run to the hostile camp.
Consumers do not care whether your brand is native or foreign, they only care about the little money in their pockets.
Therefore, with the support of a large amount of cash, the two foreign brands could hardly find any competitors around the world.
And this is just a very narrow market for Coke.
In other fields, not only beverages, but also brands in all walks of life and industry are under the impact.
When local enterprises have not grown to a certain scale, they cannot withstand these foreign brands with great business and are willing to fight price wars at any loss.
In the eyes of the other 49% of shareholders, Lin Ping already holds 20% of the shares of dc.
On the surface, no one can give an accurate number of Lin Ping how much he holds.
Could Lin Ping have completed his holdings in DC?
Then turn the gun head and wipe Marvel directly from the market.
By then, DC will become the largest anime content company in the North American market. The scene where the two companies took big moves will never happen again.
Ordinary anime fans will never see it again. After DC releases a new hero, Marvel will follow suit and launch a hero with almost the same superpowers.
After Marvel launches a brand new hero, DC will soon copy the hero's super abilities and launch an almost identical person.
Once only one company is left in the market, such a scene can only exist in history.
It doesn’t matter whether consumers like it or not. What’s important is whether capital will like it?
If DC only dominated the market, its performance will definitely surge.
At that time, I'm afraid all investors will support Lin Ping's actions.
But it is indeed an innocent Marvel to bear this heavy consequence.
As long as the remaining 49% of investors think of this level, they will sell it to Lin Ping when the stocks in their hands have not depreciated to a worthless amount.
This is the cruel side of capital. When the major shareholder owns 51% of the company's shares, other people have no ability or room to resist.
"It is of course good to be able to make money. I also have to thank Boss Lin for his support to the three of us. I heard that Boss Lin wants to buy a villa. As your partner, I will give you a luxury car as a joy to move in." Muknan walked back to Lin Ping at this time and spoke.
"I was just thinking about it, but for the sake of your luxury car, I must have bought the luxury house and see how good your luxury car is?" Lin Ping responded to Mukenan with a smile.
For the New York area, Lin Ping wants to buy a beach villa.
However, I vaguely remember a documentary I watched in my previous life.
In winter, this beach villa will be completely frozen into a huge igloo, and even the railings of the beach villa are wrapped in ice layers that are more than 20 centimeters thick.
The entire house is even at risk of being crushed.
If we only consider the economic level, the price difference between the current beach villa and the price after 2000 will not be very severe.
On the contrary, the land prices in urban areas have risen year by year.
Lin Ping finally decided to buy a suburban manor or an entire building in the city.
Just like "King of Understanding", there is a building named in New York.
"I can't get the president's car. I'm going to buy an extra-length super luxury car, which shouldn't be a problem.
In those foreigners' movies, those rich people drive such extended luxury cars. The cars are full of beauties, and everyone is holding wine glasses and looking at you, the big boss with admiration." When Mukenan imagined this scene, the big boss was not Lin Ping, but himself.
It seems that buying an extended luxury car was his own dream. However, on such an occasion, he made a public promise to Lin Ping.
But after Mu Kenan said this, Mu Yanfei gave his brother helplessly.
Just as a few people were talking, the public day opening hours officially arrived.
As the ticket inspectors officially began to enter the venue, the venue gradually became lively.
"Look at the booth and don't make any trouble. Especially to prevent those people from staying there." As the audience gradually approached the booth, Lin Ping was not chatting with the three of them, but instructed the three of them to stare at the booth.
Although Lin Ping gave instructions, the enthusiasm of the audience was far beyond everyone's expectations.
These people seemed to have their own goal of running. After the ticket check was completed, these people ran wildly in the venue with the newspaper in their hands.
And while running, they are constantly looking for the goals they want to find.
"2 Venues, Area B, Booth 13!" The enthusiastic audience ran while looking at the coordinate prompts of the exhibition hall area.
Less than two minutes after the ticket check started, there was a long queue of more than 30 people at the booth 13, where Lin Ping was located.
As a game company, there was not even a single person before the famous Atari Game Company booth in North America.
If there is no one at Nintendo's booth, it can be forgiven. After all, his market share and market influence are far inferior to the previous two companies.
"It's really thirty years from Hedong and thirty years from Hexi. Look at this famous Atari..." Muknan looked at the empty booth and no one was queuing up, so he was naturally in a good mood.
In addition, there are so many people queuing up in front of my booth, this sense of superiority and a little pride are naturally exposed.
If you step on Nintendo's shoulders and have such achievements, there is nothing to be proud of.
But after all, the other party has created the entire game market and is a well-deserved leader.
With such achievements in front of the leading brother, there is naturally the capital to show off.
"Is the new product launch conference going to start now?" Liu Dacheng looked at Lin Ping and asked.
"I was originally preparing for the public open day, and I officially recommended the products to everyone. However, the newspapers are now very comprehensive, and even the hardware configuration data provided on our exhibition boards have been reported in detail.
Since everyone, whether professionals or consumers, know the details, there is no need to take up everyone's experience time." Lin Ping gave up the product launch conference and simply gave all the time of the launch conference to these people for playing games.
Seeing that Lin Ping didn't plan to waste time.
Looking at the excited faces in the audience, Mu Kenan and Mu Yanfei got permission and went directly to the booth, picked up the microphone and started shouting.
"Be quiet, be quiet. I know everyone is here to experience the latest arcade games. Since the number of machines on our booth is limited, it cannot satisfy everyone present to experience it at the same time. In desperation, we had to give each person a certain amount of time to experience it.
Let me first talk about the rules. Each time, 30 people are released at the booth at the same time. Replace them after two minutes. Everyone must cooperate with our work and must leave the development station after 20 minutes.
If you want to continue to experience it, please wait in the end of the team again.
If unpleasant phenomena occur, we will ask the security staff of the exhibition hall to come and maintain order.
Okay, I'll invite the top 30 people." Mu Kenan and Mu Yanfei watched 30 people walk onto the booth at the same time.
After 30 people come on stage, it means that the people queuing behind have to wait for 20 minutes.
At this moment, it would be reasonable if someone left.
But not only did the number of people queuing in line, but more and more.
This made the other two game manufacturers on both sides even more embarrassing.
