"For example, if you export from China to the United States, you need to pay a 3.9% tariff. If the tariff is increased in the future, it will not be a small amount."

"And exports from Mexico to the United States are subject to zero tariffs according to the "U.S.-Canada-Mexico" trade agreement!"

Wang Yike knows that after the trade war in 2018, the United States imposed an additional tariff of 7.5%, and the tariff on color TV exports to the United States rose to 11.4%!

11.4% and zero tariff, this is a big difference.

"In addition, Mexico's labor costs are very low, and it can be used as Xingyi TV's first overseas production base."

"What do you think?"

Xu Mingyi nodded: "I also support our first overseas base in Mexico. Not only can we sell in Mexico. Going north, with the "US-Canada-Mexico" trade agreement, we can export to the United States and Maple Leaf with zero tariffs.

countries. Going south, it can also be exported to football countries, Argentina and other South American countries."

"Yes, the United States is the largest overseas consumer market, and Mexico is also the best overseas base."

"Labor costs are low, and there is a TCL factory in Mexico, so there is no shortage of skilled workers and a TV industry chain!"

"If we go to other countries, we might have to start from scratch. In Mexico, TCL has been in the market for many years, even though it is a traditional color TV. Now that we are investing in smart TVs, we can directly use the industrial foundation created by TCL."

Everyone spoke one after another, and their analysis was very clear.

Just like Wang Yi put the headquarters of Xingyi TV in Daocheng instead of Jeju, it is because Hisense is there in Daocheng and has a mature TV industry belt.

Similarly, Mexico has TCL's production base and a mature TV industry belt.

This is very helpful for the construction and development of Xingyi TV factory.

Wang Yi made the final decision: "Okay, then the first overseas base will be in Mexico. As for the specific location, you will arrange a team to go to Mexico to investigate and study."

"Okay, Chairman, what is the production capacity plan of our Mexican Industrial Park?"

Wang Yi thought for a while: "North America and South America don't have much sales. According to three shifts 24 hours a day, the annual output is 10 million units. If we can sell 5 million Xingyi TVs and 5 million Unbounded TVs in a year, it is considered good.

Already."

Of course, the main sales force of Xingyi TV depends on the American Empire and the Maple Leaf Kingdom.

As for Mexico and South America, it is mainly Unbounded TV.

Wang Yi continued: "The Mexican Industrial Park can radiate to North and South America, but we still need a second overseas base in places like the European Union and the Middle East!"

A senior executive said: "I recommend settling in Egypt. Its location is superior. Whether it is shipping to the European Union or Africa, it is very convenient and the labor cost is low."

"Egypt does not have a mature television industry foundation, so it is difficult to start from scratch, and many of the people around are poor relatives, so it is not suitable."

"Egypt is not a member of the European Union and does not have an advantage in trade, so Poland is suitable."

"I also support the establishment of a factory in Poland. It is located right in the center of Europe and enjoys EU tariff preferences. Moreover, the wages of workers in Poland are also the lowest in Europe, almost the same as in China."

…

Listening to everyone's words, Wang Yi was very satisfied.

His choice was also Poland.

Otherwise, Poland is a member of the European Union and enjoys preferential tariffs when selling in Europe.

In the future, if there is a trade deficit, Europe will impose a 14% tariff on domestically exported TVs, which is more severe than the United States.

But if a factory is built in Poland, the preliminarily assembled components are shipped from China to Poland, and then the final machine assembly is completed in Poland, the 14% tariff will be exempted!

More importantly, Poland is a member of the Belt and Road Initiative.

With the development of the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-Europe freight train will open to traffic in a few years. By then, it will only take 22 days for domestic components to be delivered to the Polish factory, which is more than half a month faster than shipping by sea!

In addition, Poland has a TCL factory and there is no shortage of skilled workers and TV industry belts.

If we go to Egypt, it may be difficult to recruit skilled workers.

Once the Polish factory is completed, it will have a promising future with a huge profit of two cents to the east, Britain, Germany and France to the west, and a circle of European countries with good consumption power around it.

As for the TCL factory, although it started early, it only manufactures traditional color TVs.

Facing such a smart Xingyi TV, there is no resistance at all.

Wang Yi looked around at everyone: "The second overseas base is located in Poland. As for the specific location, we will also arrange a team to inspect it. As for the scale, the annual production capacity is also tens of millions!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded one after another.

In this way, when all factories are put into production and the overseas production capacity is 20 million, Xingyi TV + Unbounded TV should be able to meet some overseas demand.

After all domestic production capacity is put into operation, the annual production capacity will exceed 70 million units, which will be unbearable for the entire Xiaguo market.

The excess can only be exported to a few nearby countries.

In this way, Asia has the island city of Xia Kingdom and two major industrial parks in Shenzhen City.

In North and South America, there are industrial parks in Mexico.

There are Polish industrial parks in Europe, Africa and other places.

Delivery to the nearest location, basically covering the whole world.

Even so, the annual production capacity of 90 million is still terrifying.

However, there is hope that it can be digested with the unrivaled price-performance ratio of Unlimited TV.

These days, TVs are still a necessity for families. As long as they have good performance, a good experience, and a reasonable price, you won’t have to worry about sales.

More importantly, our competitors are still making traditional TVs and semi-smart TVs, which are very backward and incomparable with Xingyi smart TVs.

This is Wang Yi's opportunity.

Developed countries mainly promote Xingyi TV, which is a mid-to-high-end product.

Developing countries mainly promote unbounded TV for cost-effectiveness.

Wang Yi will capture 40%, or even half, of the global TV market in the future!

A few years later, this will be difficult and almost unrealistic.

But now, with leading smart TVs, that won’t be a big problem.

Just like the tablet market, the iPad once captured half of the market.

In addition, even if such a large amount of production capacity cannot be used, it can be converted to the production of flat panels, monitors, large automotive screens, or OEM for third-party brands.

The key is to open up global layout and reduce costs.

After the meeting, the next day, the Xingyi TV department immediately organized a team to go to Mexico and Poland to inspect the construction of factories.

Over at Xingyi Wafer Fab, after a day of research and preparation, the tapeout has been finalized and is scheduled for September 11th.

After all, it is our own chip, and the wafer factory has already been involved in some of it during the R&D and design stage.

Even Mr. Hu participated and gave a lot of suggestions from the perspective of mass production.

This is the advantage of our own resources.

Wang Yi is full of expectations for this.

In the afternoon, Jian Ziyan walked in:

"Chairman, we have had a negotiation with Naifei, and it went well. The other party is willing to acquire the five-year overseas copyright of "Nirvana in Fire" at a price of 30 million U.S. dollars. At a price of 40 million U.S. dollars, we have won the rights to "Zhen Huan"

"Five years of overseas copyright."

"Thirty million, almost 200 million. Forty million, almost 250 million."

Wang Yi nodded: "Five years of copyright, this price is very beautiful. After all, overseas, our dramas are always considered niche and cannot be sold at too high a price. We can sign a contract."

It is true that for popular American dramas, Nephi can offer a unit price of one million US dollars per episode.

However, domestic dramas are considered niche overseas. Few people watch them and there are many episodes, so naturally they cannot be sold at high prices.

There is nothing we can do about this.

But even so, an overseas copyright can be sold for 200 million or 250 million, which is considered very high.

"Okay, Chairman, Naifei is also very interested in the H.265 encoding. However, they think the price is too high. Chairman Naifei hopes to have a video conference with you and negotiate in person."

"Can."

A giant like Naifei has great strength, and the chairman of Naifei is worthy of Wang Yi's response.

If it's someone else, just hand it over directly to your subordinates.

More importantly, Naifei is the best breakthrough point for the promotion of H.265.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chairman Naifei and Wang Yi started a cross-border video meeting:

"Sorry, Director Wang, my Chinese is not... good. Can I communicate in English?" Naifei Chairman Reed apologized.

"No problem." Wang Yixiao said.

Wang Yi's strength is that of a 211 player. His English is not bad. He may not be able to pass the eighth-level exam, but his oral conversation is no problem.

After all, the practical English of foreigners is also colloquial, and there are even many grammatical errors. If you really follow the textbook, foreigners will be confused.

"Thank you, Director Wang." Reed said with a smile: "H.265 can save 50% of the bandwidth. At the same network speed, the buffering is faster, and the same volume can be clearer. It is very suitable for streaming media. To be honest,

We are indeed interested. But the price is too expensive."
