Chapter 165
Only OEM
"Haha, Brother Hu, please come in quickly, do you see who is coming?"
Chen Jialin's room was a business suite. When Hu Yang walked in, he immediately saw the two ladies sitting in the living room.
Hu Yang had met these two people when he was in Xiangjiang. One was the girl who sat next to Chen Jialin in the club that day. She seemed to be called Lu Qiulu, and the other was Liang Shuqi.
"Hello, Mr. Hu, we meet again..."
Liang Shuqi stood up smartly and said hello to Populus euphratica.
"It's Qiqi, hello. I didn't expect that the surprise Mr. Chen mentioned would be you."
To say that the surprise was a bit too much, I was quite happy to see Liang Shuqi and Hu Yang again, and then he and Lu Qiulu said hello to each other.
"Haha, I knew you would like this surprise. Brother Hu, Qiqi and the others came to the mainland to relax, and they happened to come over to meet you. How about you arrange the next activities?"
Chen Jialin had already arranged the accommodation. When he said this, he specially winked at Populus euphratica, and the meaning was self-evident.
Hu Yang smiled casually and said: "My friend is here and there is good wine. Don't worry, I will let you, Mr. Chen, drink as much as you can. Do you need to rest now? It's still early. When you have rested, I will treat you to dinner."
Lu Qiulu looked at Liang Shuqi. Liang Shuqi shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm not tired after riding in the car. I don't need to rest deliberately."
"Okay, let's go to the hotel's cafe and sit for a while, and then we'll have dinner when the time is almost up."
Hu Yang felt that the hotel room was still a bit small, so he might as well go to the coffee shop to sit.
"What kind of coffee are you going to drink? Either go swimming or go bowling. It's your choice."
Chen Jialin is full of energy and has a character that can't sit still. If you want him to sit quietly and drink coffee, you might as well let him go back to his room and sleep.
Populus euphratica was indispensable. Liang Shuqi and Lu Qiulu discussed it and finally decided to go bowling.
"Brother, you are playing well. Have you played often before?"
Hu Yang made a perfect hit, and both Liang Shuqi and Lu Qiulu gave generous applause.
Chen Jialin clicked his tongue twice and stepped forward, using a standard posture, and also hit a perfect hit.
"Master Chen, you are the best!"
Lu Qiulu completely ignored the people around her and gave Chen Jialin a "wave" when she came up to him. The look of admiration in her eyes was very helpful to Chen Jialin.
No one feeds this dog food.
Liang Shuqi smiled and said nothing. Hu Yang sat down next to her, grabbed a bottle of drink, took a sip, and said, "Qiqi, haven't you been busy recently? Why did you think of going out to relax?"
Liang Shuqi sighed softly and whispered: "I have nothing to do. I haven't received any roles recently."
Hu Yang comforted him casually, not knowing what to say. To promote a small star? Putting aside the financial strength, he had never thought about it.
At this time, Lu Qiulu came over, patted Liang Shuqi on the shoulder and said: "I just had a break when I was not filming, and I am hungry. Why do I think so much? Look at me, I haven't filmed for a long time, so I am still happy."
Liang Shuqi rolled her eyes at her and said to herself, "You are hooking up with Mr. Chen, otherwise you would say this?"
"Okay, Qiqi, Lulu, come out and have fun. Qiqi, this brother of mine is a diamond king. Do you want to catch him with some snacks?"
Chen Jialin spoke without any taboos, and Lu Qiulu came over and gave her another tickling pink punch.
Liang Shuqi was slightly embarrassed, but she controlled her emotions very well and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu is young and promising. Mr. Chen, please don't mess around here. By the way, should we go?"
Have you eaten? I'm really a little hungry."
"Okay, okay, no more talking. Brother Hu, where are you going to eat today?"
Chen Jialin gave up when he saw fit. Anyway, he did everything he was supposed to do. As for Hu Yang and Liang Shuqi, it was up to them.
Hu Yang had thought about it before, so he immediately replied: "Go to the holiday villa on Baiyun Mountain in the evening, and I will treat you to Zhejiang cuisine."
Chen Jialin and others applauded, then left the bowling alley and drove to Baiyun Mountain.
Lu Qiulu and Liang Shuqi took Chen Jialin's car, while Hu Yang and Chen Jialin got into the BMW driven by Han Wen.
"Brother Hu, I think the VCD machine project is a good one and can be done. Now that I have chosen the factory, there are no problems with the production technology and supply of electronic components. Are you interested in taking a shareholding?"
Chen Jialin only talked about business at this moment. No wonder he sent Liang Shuqi and Lu Qiulu into another car.
"You know that I have invested in Aido Electronics. Besides, if you can complete such a project yourself, why would you want to find someone to share the profits?"
Hu Yang and Chen Jialin were not much different in age. After several contacts, the two almost became friends. Therefore, in front of Chen Jialin, he told the truth.
"Brother, this time I am going it alone. The old man only promised to give me 10 million. Do you think I can do it? Don't talk nonsense. If you invest another 10 million for me, I will build the factory in minutes."
Chen Jialin pouted and complained. But he didn't think Hu Yang would reject him, so he still had some confidence.
The problem is that he doesn't know that Hu Yang's funds are actually very tight, and Hu Yang also has a non-competition clause with Hu Debiao, which means that no shareholder of Aido Electronics can start a new business and engage in the production and sales of VCD machines, thereby competing with Aido Electronics.
.
"Sorry, I really can't help you with this matter."
Hu Yang sighed and talked about the non-compete clause.
"Hu Debiao, this damn fat guy, has a lot of weird ideas. It's okay, brother, didn't you register an offshore company before? The funds are going around in a circle, Hu Debiao doesn't have the ability to find out."
That’s not to say that Chen Jialin’s method is impossible. The problem is that this non-compete clause was proposed by Hu Yang on his own initiative to prevent Hu Debiao from starting a new business outside. Now that he is taking the lead in violating the agreement, it seems to be a slap in the face.
"Mr. Chen, it's not too late to enter the VCD industry. But have you ever thought about it in the future? I think the life cycle of this industry will be very short, only five or six years at most. What will happen then?"
The reason why Hu Yang wants to make a fortune is that the industry itself is not worth long-term investment. Hu Debiao tried to play tricks in front of him and wanted to dilute his equity, but he didn't take it seriously. The reason was that he would choose the opportunity to quit Aido Electronics.
Realize the equity.
This time will be very fast, within one or two years.
But he and Chen Jialin were friends, so he couldn't just watch this young man jump in without reminding him.
"Huh? Are you sure that the life cycle of the VCD industry is so short? What's the reason? I need a reason."
Although Chen Jialin is a playboy, he does things completely differently. He has his own judgment and understanding, and is by no means a master who can be easily fooled.
Reasons? There are many reasons. For example, with the rapid development of electronic technology, not to mention VCD, even the later DVDs were quickly eliminated. Another example is the rise of the Internet, the popularity of home PCs, and the later "three networks in one" and smart phones.
television......
But Populus euphratica cannot say that much, some are just concepts at present, and some don’t even have concepts at all.
"The reason is the popularity of home PCs and the development of the Internet. The most critical issue is that the entry threshold for the VCD industry is very low. In a few years, the price will definitely kill your heartbeat. If there is no long-term planning, not only will it not make money in the end
, I’m afraid I’ll still suffer a huge loss.”
Hu Yang could only say so much, it was up to Chen Jialin whether to listen or not.
This time Chen Jialin did not roar again, but was thinking quietly.
"Brother, what you said makes sense. It is difficult for a company without long-term planning to survive for a long time. Hehe, I finally know what you really think. Are you ready to cash out and leave at any time when you invest in Aido Electronics?
Brilliant! Taking the most lucrative profits and then walking away is indeed the style of an investor. I said, I have worked hard for so long and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then just give up on this project? No,
You must have a way."
Chen Jialin's business sense is really terrible. Some things can be revealed at a glance and he can quickly see the essence of the matter.
For Populus euphratica, there is definitely a way.
For example, "BBK", one of the three VCD giants at that time, began to transform at the beginning of the decline of the industry. From learning machines to mobile phone manufacturing, behind the magnificent turn was a strategic vision to prepare for a rainy day.
"Mr. Chen, you can actually do OEM. I don't need to tell you what the benefits of OEM are. You also know. Although the profit is much lower, it avoids risks and the company can make a U-turn. The most important thing is that through OEM
A team has been trained. Even if VCD will no longer be popular in the future, new products in the electronics industry will emerge one after another, and the production line can produce other products with slight modifications. What do you think?"
If you do OEM work for VCD machines, you don’t need to consider sales or invest huge advertising fees. You only earn OEM fees. It may seem that the profit is low, but the risk is also low.
In a few years, when the whole VCD industry starts a price war, the benefits of OEM will become apparent.
In the years when VCD was most popular, there were thousands of domestic manufacturers. There were even many family workshops that began to assemble VCD machines, with daily output of more than ten or twenty units, and they were still making a lot of money.
However, with over-investment in the industry, price wars were inevitable, and eventually the entire industry collapsed, and countless people sang their final elegy.
Working as an OEM is different. I don’t participate in market competition. Isn’t it okay if I charge processing fees? VCDs are no longer available. I can make DVDs. I can also make mobile phones, MP3s, etc. in the future.
You may have noticed that Hon Hai never sells its own brand, but how can you say it doesn’t make money?
"Brother! Sometimes I don't know how your brain grows. Is the gap between people so big? What a great idea! What a great idea! From now on, brother, I will rely on my craftsmanship to make a living and watch the ebb and flow of the tide with a smile.
Not happy?"
Chen Jialin quickly figured out the key here, reached out and slapped his thigh hard, which could be described as overwhelming.
"Mr. Chen, just think about it. The question is, if you don't pat your own thigh, why are you patting mine?"
