Rebirth of Hong Kong’s Glorious Era: Chapter 130 lack of money
Guan Zhilin packed up some odds and ends and put them in a travel bag. Li Wansui reached out to help carry it, holding her slightly cold hand, led him into the car, and drove back to Taikoo Shing.
Guan Zhilin's mood was up and down today, he cried several times, and fell asleep in the car a little drowsy. He patted Guan Zhilin who was sitting in the passenger seat, and he said, "Jiahui, wake up, I'm home."
Guan Zhilin hummed in a daze, opened his eyes, glanced at Li Wansui, and subconsciously revealed a sweet smile.
When the two returned home, Li Wansui poured Guan Zhilin a cup of hot water, made the bed in the other bedroom, and said to Guan Zhilin who was sitting on the sofa: "Jiahui, you can sleep in that bedroom, It’s been a tiring day, go take a shower. Then sleep comfortably, and I’ll talk about it when I get up tomorrow morning.”
When Guan Zhilin came to Li Wansui's house, his heart was much more stable than before, and he showed a sweet smile that he was familiar with, and said, "Well, brother."
Li Wansui asked again: "Have a change of clothes and everything ready. I'll just take care of it for one night. I'll take you to buy anything tomorrow."
"Take it all, brother, Jiahui is going to take a bath first." Guan Zhilin replied, and with a red face, he got into the bathroom.
Li Wansui had learned from Zhao Yazhi's previous lesson, listened to the sound of running water in his ears, and learned to behave well. He returned to his room and lay on the bed.
In my mind, I was also thinking about the harvest of today and the future.
Taking care of Guan Zhilin is an easy task for the current Li Wansui. He is now worth more than 20 million yuan, so it is inevitable for her to have no worries. The main reason is that Guan Zhilin has his own plans. I will discuss it with my little sister tomorrow, whether to continue to go back to study or to venture into the film and television industry. Li Wansui also knew the character of Guan Zhilin's Jiaojiao girl, as long as she was happy. If you want to study, you will provide for her. If you want to break into the film and television industry, you have a lot of connections now. You and Shao Daheng will be able to get along right away on the wireless side. Although ATV only knows Sister Xue, let her Taking care of herself, the little sister who just debuted, is just a hands-on effort because of Mi Xue's status today and the change of the protagonist of "Celestial Silkworm Transformation", so that the entire ATV executives owe her favor.
What he has a headache now is that he will get 26.55 million tomorrow plus a cheque of 4 million Hong Kong dollars signed by Bao Yugang today - as the funds for his and Shao Yifu's shareholding. How to use this 30.55 million!
The next time I go to Japan to sign a contract with Ricoh, I have to pay a contract deposit of 2 million US dollars. If I breach the contract, I will compensate Ricoh for the 2 million US dollars. The current exchange rate is about 1 US dollar to 5 Hong Kong dollars, which is about 10 million. Hong Kong dollars, after the money is given to Ricoh, it can only be returned to itself after the contract ends, that is, the Hong Kong dollars of about 1,000 in three years have become dead money.
After deducting the 10 million Hong Kong dollars, I still have 20.55 million Hong Kong dollars left. This amount of money seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is far from enough for the business of red and white machines.
Not to mention the investment in building the factory, just the amount of goods that will be pressed within the time difference between sales and payment in the future is enough to drink a pot by yourself.
For example, if it is sold in the US market, after a red and white machine leaves the factory, it cannot be shipped from Hong Kong to the United States, right? By sea, it takes about a month to transport on the road. When it arrives at the warehouse in the United States, it has to be distributed to various retail outlets through the channel dealer, and it will be sold on the market. After the sales are completed, the channel dealer will return the money to itself. It takes a month.
When it was first listed, without knowing the market reaction, which channel merchant would pay to pick up the red and white machine as soon as it left the factory?
Isn't that putting yourself at risk? If the game developed on the red and white machine is not acclimatized, the picture is good, the market response is very poor, and it cannot be sold, then these channel providers who give money first, won’t they lose a lot of money?
Unless the red and white machines have proved themselves in the market, and the sales are very hot, then these channel merchants will rush to pay for the goods from themselves, for fear of not being able to buy them. These businessmen are all monkeys, and they are definitely not willing to take the risk of the red and white machines in the early stage.
When it was just listed, it must be able to bear the cost of this part of the pressing goods by itself.
To produce a red and white machine, you need 2 cpus, a graphics controller ppu, and a cpu to process data. The cost of these two alone will cost 48 dollars, plus the motherboard, sound card module, handle, memory, shell, these are all messed up The cost of the game console is probably 20 to 30 US dollars in total, and the cost of that game machine is 80 US dollars.
The production of game consoles cannot but the production of game cartridges, right? Why don't players buy a game console if they don't sell cassettes? When the game console was first launched, it was necessary to have six or seven games for players to choose from. In this case, a game card requires a 6k read-only rom (memory), and the cost alone is about $6. Game cards can be exchanged, and it only needs to produce about half of the game cartridges of the number of red and white machines, which should be able to meet the needs of players.
The agreement signed with Ricoh in the first half of the year is that 20,000 CPUs can be produced per month, and 10,000 red and white machines can be produced (because one red and white machine needs two 6502 CPUs, one of which is a ppu entrusted to Ricoh. ), a game produces 5,000 cassettes. Assuming that there are six kinds of games at the time of listing, the output of our own factory will reach 10,000 red and white machines and 30,000 game cards per month, so the cost is too scary.
One month needs to press 800,000 US dollars of red and white machines, 180,000 US dollars of game cartridges, this is the cost.
In two months, nearly 2 million US dollars of goods have to be pressed! This is still an idealized situation. When the red and white machine is only on the market, the payment will definitely not be so fast.
This does not include the cost of workers' wages, the cost of developing games, and the cost of water and electricity!
It would cost 10 million Hong Kong dollars just to press the goods, not to mention a lot of money to open a factory, and it would cost a lot of money to rent or buy land.
Li Wansui thought to himself, because he had received more than 30 million yuan and felt a little relaxed, he became nervous again, this money is not enough!
Far from enough. Unless you entrust manufacturers all over the world, let them do the OEM, and even entrust the assembly. But how to control the quality in this case? Now the electronics industry is an emerging industry, and the OEM model has just started, and it exists in the form of small workshops.
Besides, Li Wansui has a dream of a big factory in his heart. The machines are roaring, and there are thousands of employees in Xiangjiang. At that time, these people will follow him and eat, which will be the guarantee of his influence in Xiangjiang. Think about it, if he is in Hong Kong. If there are tens of thousands of workers in Xiangjiang to follow them, that is to affect tens of thousands of families in Xiangjiang, who can do what to themselves? To fight against yourself is to fight against these families. Xiangjiang is in such a chaotic market now, and it will be more chaotic in the future. This is his hard power. Industry is the foundation.
So Li Wansui would rather spend more money in his heart, but also try to see if he can raise enough money to open the factory from small to large!
But 1979 was too long ago, ten years earlier than when Li Wansui was born in his previous life. Li Wansui really didn't know how much he could get rich in this era.
After thinking about it for a long time, he had no idea, and finally a fat face appeared in his mind!
Wang Jing!
It seems that the film company's plans are ahead of schedule. I have so many classic movies in my mind, and I am short of money now. I need to copy a few and get some money to spend.
Before I could think about it, the door to the bathroom opened, and Li Wansui shouted from inside the house, "Jiahui, the hair dryer is on the coffee table in the living room. I took it out. You can dry your hair and go to sleep."
"Well, brother, you should rest early too."
Li Wansui walked out of the bedroom and glanced at Guan Zhilin, who was wearing a pure white bathrobe. His elegant and charming appearance made people's eyes shine, and he didn't dare to look any more, and turned to the bathroom.
He was catching a plane in the early morning last night, and he didn't take a bath. Today, he was very tired after tossing for a day. The warm water made him feel very refreshed.
After washing for a while, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Li Wansui dried his body and turned out. The lights in the living room were still on, Guan Zhilin was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas, staring blankly at the front, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Wansui sighed deeply, sat beside her, and said, "Jiahui, go and rest, don't think about it, treat this place like your home."
Guan Zhilin said softly, "Brother, this month has been like a nightmare. I still don't understand why I have to be tortured like this."
Li Wansui sighed, although what Guan Zhilin experienced was nothing to ordinary people, it was already a disaster for a princess like her who had been pampered since she was a child, and comforted: "Jiahui, the nightmare is over. Don't think about it anymore. Uncles and aunts have problems with uncles and aunts, so don't blame them. Look at everything. Now that my brother is back, I will take good care of you in the future. "
When Guan Zhilin heard the words "I will take good care of you in the future", a smile appeared on his beautiful face, he leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, and ran back to his room blushing.
Li Wansui was a little overwhelmed by this sudden attack. Looking at Guan Zhilin's slender back, he glanced at the door subconsciously, and returned to the bed with mixed feelings.
