Super Tycoon

"Old Jiang, how are you thinking, do you agree to the sharing plan?" Zhang Yang sat on the sofa in Jiang Wanmeng's office, holding a can of iced tea in his hand.

There are more and more types of beverages in Huaxia, and many of them are flavors that he once missed.

"Mr. Zhang, are you really willing to fully authorize this to Wanyan Company? You Zhiduoxing doesn't produce it yourself?" Jiang Wanmeng still doesn't believe it. This product is very promising. It can replace portable CD players and portable recorders, and the profit margin is also very large. big.

Zhiduoxing has actually made technology research and development, why not produce it?

"Without this energy, the focus of our company this year is Zhiduoxing G2, and the production capacity of the factory must be developed for this. Frankly speaking, it will take at least a year to promote this music player authorized to you, and it still has a lot of time. It will take a lot of money to improve the technology, and probably a lot of competitors."

"And Wanyan's major shareholder is also Zhiduoxing Education Fund, isn't it, so it doesn't matter who produces it, we can all make money."

Jiang Wanmeng felt that something was wrong: "Mr. Zhang, if I remember correctly, Zhiduoxing Education Fund is not affiliated with Zhiduoxing Group. Although the chairman of the foundation is Zhang Dong, all the revenue is used for educational donations, and it cannot be included in yours. own pocket?"

The money earned in this way does not belong to their Zhang family, so what are they trying to do?

"You remember it right, but so what? Our Zhiduoxing Group has to donate money every year. With this, it saves a lot of worry. Besides, the authorization fee is not low, and we actually didn't lose money."

In the future, there will be many companies with similar operating methods around the world. Instead of making actual products, they will develop some technologies, apply for patents, and then rely on the licensing of patented technologies to make profits.

The advantage of this is that it makes the enterprise highly resistant to risks, because the cost of expenditure is low, and the number of employees will not surge. For example, Ericsson, Nokia, etc. in the future are all like this.

The reason why there are more companies in the software industry than in the hardware industry is because the barriers to entry are low, the profits are not low, and the ability to resist risks is high.

And Jiang Wanmeng still doesn't know one thing, who said that the Zhiduoxing Education Fund is not good for the Zhiduoxing Group? Why did Zhiduoxing Group set its headquarters in the capital instead of Modu or other regions?

Just because the Beijing government promised to give certain preferential tax policies, the Zhiduoxing Education Fund also played a big role in this.

Zhiduoxing Group has also enjoyed the treatment of many foreign companies, and reduced taxes by virtue of donations. Although the actual cost is still more, it has acquired a great reputation, which is not something that small money can buy.

In the future, Zhiduoxing Group will also set up some charitable funds overseas to donate to some projects. In fact, it can still avoid tax reasonably.

Besides, what Zhang Yang asked for this time was not only a high authorization fee, but also a part of the stock. He wanted to increase his shareholding in Wanyan.

Jiang Wanmeng didn't think about it too clearly, but he also knew that if they didn't make this product, Zhiduoxing could make it by itself or authorize it to other companies. This is a good opportunity for Wanyan Company.

For a long time, Wanyan's products have been relatively small, from the initial VCD to the later DVD, plus the production of optical drives for some PC manufacturers, and the income from patent licensing.

Of course, some of these products have also undergone some changes, such as the game VCD that can play games, and the three-in-one player authorized by Zhiduoxing some time ago, which integrates the functions of CD, tape recorder and radio, and is selling well, especially It is quite popular in the domestic market.

This time, Zhiduoxing Group authorized them another product that was destined to be popular in the future. Although it would dilute his and Sun Yansheng's shares, they would actually earn more money.

When Jiang Wanmeng was working on VCD, he never imagined that he would be able to become such a rich man today. Now that he has sold his shares in the company, he can spend the rest of his life in abundance.

But he doesn't feel old yet, he can continue to work and relax after retirement,

He didn't know what he could do either. Walking birds in the park is not the life he pursues.

"Mr. Zhang, since that's the case, then it's settled. Let's sign the contract. We will launch this product to the market this year. It's just that there are still some problems. The music copyright in MP3 format needs to be negotiated first." .”

That's right, the product authorized by Zhiduoxing Group to Wanyan Company is an MP3 player. At present, the mainstream portable music players are tape recorders and CD players. Perhaps the repeater is the third product, but in fact the repeater is also counted as a variant of the tape recorder.

After the appearance of this product, a third type of portable music player will be developed, which will definitely be welcomed by the market.

Because it is smaller, lighter, easier to carry and store, and has a sense of future technology.

"No problem, Zhiduoxing Group has had a lot of cooperation with some music companies before, and we can completely negotiate copyright with them."

When VCD and dance machines were promoted, they both bought music copyrights. I believe that they would not refuse to increase revenue for the other party.

"This also requires a dedicated music download website. Wanyan Company has no experience in website architecture. We, Zhiduoxing Group, will be responsible for this."

Zhiduoxing Group is one of the first batch of companies in China that has a company portal website. Although it has not had many functions, it is also at the forefront of the country.

In addition, Zhiduoxing also helps to promote and maintain Battle.net, and has good experience in this regard. Zhang Yang used this kind of music downloading website a lot in his previous life, so he probably knows what users like and what they don't like.

In fact, in terms of website architecture, the fastest-growing website has always been the website that restricts the age to log in and violates the law in some countries. This kind of website has always been the one with the largest number of websites in the world, and it was the same before Zhang Yang was reborn. .

Maybe programmers can learn from those websites. As for their experience, um...

"As for earphones, you can find the boss of Zhiduoxing. We have acquired a professional company, which is not bad in this regard. Music players have higher requirements for sound quality. You two can discuss cooperation, and I will not intervene."

"Remember, think about how VCD was popular in the market and robbed the CD market, and you will know the future development direction of this MP3."

Jiang Wanmeng's eyes moved, Mr. Zhang meant, in the future, use this kind of little thing to play videos? Theoretically, it should be possible, but when it will be completed depends on the advancement of technology.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, this product will definitely not be wrong if we hand it over to Wanyan. We still need to continue to cooperate with overseas sales."
