Chapter 431: Building factories overseas, cultural counter-invasion! (Please vote for me)

The positioning of tea is pleasing to the eye, ancient style, natural and fresh.
It gives people a gentle and jade-like feeling, and the logo is also a gentle female image.
Bawang Cha Ji is simple, high-end and international!
The grade pattern, starting from a much higher level than Cha Yanyue Se, will naturally develop better.
For example, the beauty of tea is like that of a lady who is as gentle as jade. It was everywhere in ancient times.
The Overlord Cha Ji is a female general who is not inferior to men, and there are not many in this dynasty.
More importantly, Bawang Cha Ji can better highlight the new Chinese style and national style.
Looking at the logo, foreigners will know what it means.
It is precisely because of this that Cha Ji, the overlord, came from behind.
Take the road of tea and beauty, and let the road of tea and beauty be difficult to walk.
Wang Yi didn't bother to come up with a new name, so he simply copied Bawang Cha Ji!
"Brother, there are a few new products. I will make them for you one by one tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Wang Yi nodded: "How do you plan to promote the business, Cha Ji?"
Lin Shu thought for a while: "First register the company and brand in Imperial City. As for opening stores, I will consider opening the first batch of stores in Imperial City and Jeju."
"Here in the Imperial Capital, every university has a Bawang Cha Ji chain store, and in more than a dozen of my chain Internet cafes, there is a separate area next to the front desk to install Ba Wang Cha Ji's equipment."
Wang Yi agreed very much: "This is a good idea. For those who are tired of surfing the Internet, a cup of Bai Ya Jue Xian will directly refresh them."
"Hahaha." Lin Shu smiled and said: "Yes, it is most suitable for them. With Boya Juexian, there will be many more people staying overnight."
"In this way, the universities and Internet cafes in the imperial capital total..."
At this point, Lin Shu was a little speechless.
Wang Yi took over the conversation: "In total, there are more than a hundred!"
"Yes, there are indeed many." Lin Shu looked a little complicated: "I forgot, there are eighty or ninety universities in the imperial capital!"
That's right, there are about ninety colleges and universities of various levels in the imperial capital.
Add in the dozen or so chain Internet cafes, and there are really hundreds of them.
In the early days of an imperial capital, there were more than a hundred stores. Lin Shu was frightened:
"You don't have to pay franchise fees, brand usage fees and deposits for your own brand, but you have to pay rent, decoration costs, equipment costs, and labor costs."
"For a 40-square-meter store, the monthly rent is calculated as 5,000. If you deposit one and pay three, it is 20,000. The decoration is 20,000, the equipment is 30,000, the raw materials are 10,000, and the two employees have a monthly salary of 2,500 each, as well as electricity bills, initial publicity investment, etc.
Wait. In this case, a store will have to invest 100,000 yuan in the early stage!"
"One hundred stores, that's 10 million!"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Although the investment of 10 million is a lot, the milk tea will make a profit very quickly. It was opened in a university, and the traffic is terrible. As long as you start it and make money with your eyes closed, you will get your money back quickly."
"
"Okay." Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "We have opened several stores in Qingyun County, including universities, commercial streets, and county towns! The rent in Qingyun County is low, and there are many shops at home, and the university has also invested in some.
There’s less pressure here.”
Lin Shu has obviously done his homework, and Wang Yi agrees very much: "Young people like to accept new things the most. Starting Bawang Cha Ji from college is definitely the most correct idea. Later, it will spread to core business districts and open up franchises at the same time.
Permissions."
"Okay." Lin Shu remembered it firmly. She knew that Wang Yi's experience was crucial.
"If you need help, just ask." Wang Yixiao said, it is natural for a rich young woman to start a business and support her.
Lin Shu refused: "It's okay, brother, this is my own business, and I want to start it with my own ability. If you help me, I can definitely do it, but it's not challenging anymore!"
Wang Yi smiled. Yes, if Wang Yi were to be the Overlord Tea Girl, and use the resources of Xingyi Technology, use Changchao, Douyin, Xingyi Video, and Meiyou to promote it, there would be no need to worry about failure.
But Lin Shu wants to do it himself, which is also a good thing.
The Lin family started out as a businessman and have been doing business from generation to generation.
Before meeting Wang Yi, Lin Shu had opened a chain of Internet cafes, stocked up on several Imperial City license plates, and made some investments.
Nowadays, making milk tea and starting a business for the second time is a matter of course.
After all, Lin Shu is not a loser like Wu Kai, so there is nothing wrong with him.
Moreover, the investment in milk tea business is not big.
One store only requires an investment of about 100,000 yuan, and 200 stores only requires 20 million yuan.
They also invest in the university, so there is no shortage of customer traffic.
The taste and marketing of Bawang Chaji are impeccable. To put it bluntly, it is difficult to lose money.
Coupled with Wang Yi's suggestions, the support of the Lin family tea merchants, and the blank market for new Chinese style tea, Lin Shu's Overlord Tea Girl has a high probability of being made.
Once Lin Shu makes the Overlord Cha Ji, it won't be a problem for Wang Yi to invest again.
In the following days, Lin Shu made several new Chinese milk teas, new Chinese fruit teas, and new Chinese milk caps that he had developed for Wang Yi.
Wang Yi tasted them one by one and made suggestions from time to time.
He also gave me many nice Chinese-style names.
So, after Bawang Chaji had Rizhao Qingshan (Rizhao Green Tea) and Boya Juexian (Jasmine Snow Bud), there were Huatian Oolong (Peach Oolong), Kongshan Gardenia (Gardenia Green Tea), and Baiwu Hongchen
(Da Hong Pao), Gui Fulan Xiang (Osmanthus Oolong)... and a series of new products.
With these new products, there is no need to worry about becoming popular once launched.
In the evening, Wang Yi touched his belly and said, "I've been drinking so much milk tea recently. I'll gain weight. Exercise more."
Lin Shu nodded: "Yes, let's go, brother, let's go exercise! How about running?"
"What kind of running? There are obviously better ways to exercise."
With that said, Wang Yi picked up Lin Shu by the waist and went straight to the master bedroom.
Exercise between two people, a dual exercise of body and soul, is the best exercise.
As for the dead muscles gained from lifting weights in the gym, apart from attracting gays, they are of little use...
Lin Shu's cheeks turned slightly red, but he didn't say anything.
I can only immerse myself in it, suffer and be happy.
The National Day holiday is over, and Lin Shu is busy setting up Bawang Chaji Company, recruiting employees, renting warehouses, opening stores, etc.
Wang Yi returned to Xingyi Technology and started a new round of work.
Zhu Changlin walked in with the information: "Chairman, the detailed reports for September are out!"
Wang Yi opened the report and read it carefully:
In September, domestic sales of Xphone 1 were 11 million units, and parallel import sales were 12 million units, for a total of 23 million units.
Wang Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that xphone 1 could sell so many.
Whether domestic or foreign, sales are still terrifying.
As for the reason, naturally the product quality of Xphone 1 is still timeless, and the price has been reduced to 2699, which is also very down-to-earth.
There are also more than 10,000 self-owned physical stores and more than 30,000 operator business halls across the country.
After all, except for xphone 1pro, xphone 2 and iPhone 5, xphone 1 has almost no rivals and is still a very powerful mobile phone.
Coupled with the fact that HTC's new quad-core flagship and Huawei's new quad-core flagship have overturned one after another and are not as good as the dual-core xphone 1, the xphone 1's only shortcoming, dual-core, has become an advantage, and sales have surged again.
As for the monthly parallel import sales of xphone 1, it was originally only about 4 million.
Among them, the average number of parallel imports sold to Europe and the United States is about three million per month.
There are also Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other places, which add up to one million.
This adds up to four million parallel imports per month.
But who would have thought that Asan Kingdom is coming.
The top five mobile phone vendors in the Three Kingdoms like the Xphone 1, which is the lowest priced. They bought a total of 17 million Xingyi mobile phones, of which the Xphone 1 accounted for 8 million units!
So, in September, a total of 12 million copies of Xphone 1 were shipped overseas, and a total of 23 million units were shipped globally. The inventory was sold out and almost out of stock!
Fortunately, I bought Qualcomm's dual-core processor at a low price some time ago, otherwise the chip would not be enough.
Originally, Wang Yidu considered cutting off part of the Xphone 1 production line and switching to Xphone 2 production.
Who would have thought that the parallel import market has endless potential!
Wang Yi looked at Zhu Changlin: "Lao Zhu, the Xphone 1 is still a treasure and has full sales potential. We will continue to produce without reducing production."
Zhu Changlin was a little worried: "Chairman, without Asan's eight million sales this month, domestic sales are expected to drop to 10 million. Overseas, with the release of iPhone 5, xphone 1 sales will drop to three million.
It’s only 13 million. What if we produce too much and can’t sell it?”
Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's okay, just keep it in the warehouse for now. At the same time, we will find a third-party agent. Just like Asan Kingdom, we will sell it to other countries as parallel imports. Without Asan Kingdom, there are still polar bears, as well as other countries such as Brazil.
Everything can be pushed forward.”
This cooperation model is carried out through third-party agents.
Xingyi Technology is not directly involved in exporting at all, but contracts with trading companies registered in Xia State as agents.
After Xingyi Technology received the full payment, it delivered the Xingyi mobile phone to the agent's trading company in Xia Guo.
To put it bluntly, the third-party agent’s trading company in Xia Guo became a Xia Guo distributor of Xingyi Technology.
Once they get the goods, the transaction is completed.
The subsequent steps are up to the agent, whether to pay customs duties and export to the overseas parent company through normal channels, or whether to smuggle it back through certain means.
Shipping costs, insurance, risks, etc. are also the responsibility of the agent.
Everything that follows will not end with Xingyi Technology and has nothing to do with Xingyi Technology.
These companies engaged in international trade have many similar trading companies and even leather bag companies in the Xia Kingdom.
There are also many irregular channels through which it can be smuggled out.
Even if there is an accident and we are investigated, it is still the trading company's business.
What Xingyi Technology completed was only domestic transactions with the third-party agent’s trading company in Xia State.
It is compliant and legal and does not involve infringement of patents of other countries.
Zhu Changlin responded: "Then replicate this model and let their domestic trading companies become our big customers to minimize risks."
Wang Yi nodded and continued to read the report:
In September, Xphone 1pro sold 9.7 million units domestically, 8 million units overseas, and total sales 17.7 million units.
Among them, 3 million were imported from Europe and the United States, 4 million from Asan and the five major mobile phone companies, and 1 million from Southeast Asia.
Obviously, with the release of xphone 2, the sales of xphone 1pro have dropped a lot.
Previously, the monthly domestic sales of xphone 1pro were more than 12 million.
With a price of more than 2,000 yuan, the xphone 1 is not on the same level as the xphone 2, and sales are still very stable.
But even if the xphone 1pro is a thousand cheaper than the xphone 2, its sales have plummeted.
Buy new rather than old.
There is nothing we can do about this.
The xphone 2 sold well, with domestic sales of 13 million, overseas sales of 7 million, and total sales exceeding 20 million.
Among them, the five major operators in the three countries accounted for 5 million, and there were also 2 million parallel imports from Europe and the United States.
"Lao Zhu, this month, the sales of Xphone 2 will still be terrible. Even without the five million from Asan Kingdom, Europe, America and Southeast Asia can still sustain it. Continue to use full power, and the monthly output will be 20 million!"
"Okay, Chairman. Last month, many European and American merchants wanted to place orders for xphone 2, but the goods were all packed up by A Sanguo! This month, they are all queuing up to place orders! Especially the failure of iPhone 5 has made
Xphone 2 and Xphone 1pro are selling better overseas.”
"Very good." Wang Yi was in a good mood: "But this is not a long-term solution after all. The key is patent."
"Only if we have enough patents can we sell it overseas openly."
"Yeah, it's embarrassing now. We have opened Xingyi flagship stores and Xingyi stores in many countries around the world, but we can only sell tablets, headphones, power banks and other products, but we can't sell mobile phones!"
Wang Yi nodded: "The key is still the patent issue. In this way, we will invest huge sums of money to acquire a large number of communication patents from the United States and Europe, accelerate the patent layout, and prepare for comprehensive internationalization."
"Okay, what about the Neon Country and the Bangzi Country?"
Different countries require corresponding patents.
For example, if you have a patent license from the European Union, but do not have a patent license from the Bangzi country, you will be sued if you sell it in the Bangzi country.
To put it bluntly, if you want to sell it in Europe, you need to obtain a patent from Europe.
If you want to sell in Bangzi country, you have to accumulate a lot of Bangzi country patents.
This leads to patent issues, which are very complicated and much more costly.
Wang Yi thought for a while: "Sony is not in the Neon Country. Our Xingyi mobile phone has great potential and can acquire the patents of the Neon Country. As for the Bangzi Country... they are very xenophobic. They only like Samsung, and that's about it.
The market is a tiny place, forget it, just give up!"
That's right, Wang Yi doesn't consider the Bangzi Chinese market.
There are only 50 million people in Bangzi Country, and they are die-hard fans of Samsung. They are also xenophobic and buy millions of Xingyi mobile phones every year.
It's really not worth the trouble.
On the contrary, in Neon Country, Sony mobile phones are not up to par, and Xingyi Mobile Phone can directly win the Neon Country market!
As for Bangzi Country, it is enough to reward them with some parallel imports.
"Okay." Zhu Changlin responded.
Later, Wang Yi looked at the sales of the Xingyi tablet. Since it was launched globally, it also looked down on the iPad 3 released at the beginning of the year. It was also terrifying.
Global sales of Xingyi Tablet X1 reached 8 million units in September.
Xingyi Tablet X1pro has sold 11 million units worldwide.
But Wang Yi couldn't be happier: "The third-generation iPad released in March was reduced to rubbish by us. But this month, the fourth-generation iPad is coming. It has been greatly upgraded and will definitely have a serious impact on our sales."
A6X's CPU, dual-core modified A9.
Xingyi tablet X1pro's tegra 3, quad-core A9, crushes the A6X.
But the A6X's GPU, PowerVR P4, and quad-core GPU are about 15% stronger than Qualcomm's APQ 8064.
This is Apple's strategy, dual-core CPU + quad-core GPU, stacking GPUs to death!
After all, most CPUs are surplus, and the key depends on whether the GPU is powerful enough.
And Lao Huang is useless.
Obviously Nvidia started out by making graphics cards, but the mobile phone chip GPU it made was so rubbish.
That's right, the A6X's GPU is at least 50% more powerful than the Nvidia Tegra 3 GPU of the Xingyi Tablet X1 pro, which is completely inferior!
This made Wang Yi have to worry.
Due to the huge performance gap, once the 4th generation iPad is launched, the sales of Xingyi tablet will inevitably suffer.
Just like the previous Xingyi Tablet was beaten by the iPad 3rd generation, now it might be the other way around and beaten by the iPad 4th generation!
Zhu Changlin is also a little worried: "This is indeed a big problem. It has only been seven months since the third generation of the iPad was released, and Apple is rushing to launch the fourth generation. It is because the third generation is too useless and we have abused it so badly. Apple is trying to get back in the game."
!”
Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, but is this something he can do if he wants to? Since Nvidia Tegra 3 is so inferior, we must promote the mass production of Kunpeng processors as soon as possible. Let Xingyi Tablet X1pro, replace
Go to Kunpeng 702!"
Once replaced with Kunpeng 702, the quad-core CPU crushes the A6X's dual-core.
The GPU performance is slightly better than Qualcomm APQ 8064. Although it is still not as good as the A6X GPU, the gap has been reduced from 50% of Nvidia tegra 3 to about 10%.
As a result, the Kunpeng 702 CPU is 100% stronger than the A6X, and the GPU is 10% weaker than the A6X. The overall strength is better than the A6X.
By then, Xingyi Tablet X1pro will be able to win back the game. In addition, it has been on the market for seven months and the price has been slightly reduced by a few hundred yuan. It will not be a big problem to madly grab the IAPD 4th generation market.
Of course, if it is launched late, it will be troublesome.
The key depends on whether the Kunpeng version of Xingyi Tablet X1pro will be launched first, or the fourth generation iPad will be launched first.
Calculating the time, the fourth generation of iPad will be released on October 24th and will be launched in late November.
Xingyi Tablet X1 pro Kunpeng version is only available for one and a half months!
In fact, competition in the tablet market is more brutal than competition on mobile phones.
Without him, the mobile phone market is large and has high sales. The giants can eat the meat, and other small brands can also eat the soup.
But the tablet market is different. The cake is so big that it cannot accommodate a few giants.
If, like before, the iPad ate up half of the market in one go, and Xingyi Tablet and other brands divided the remaining half, it would be difficult.
The key depends on who is more powerful, ipad or Xingyi Tablet, and who can take the biggest share first!
Wang Yi sighed:
"Now the Kunpeng 702 chip has been developed and is waiting for mass production. The pressure falls on the Xingyi wafer fab! Lao Zhu, why don't you go to the Xingyi wafer fab and see the yield rate of the 40nm process?
Already?"
"Okay, Chairman, I'll be there right away."
Wang Yi nodded: "If the yield rate is acceptable, even if it is less than 85%, we can arrange for tape-out. As long as the tape-out is successful, Kunpeng 702 will be completely stable. Even if the yield rate is 80%, it can still be produced.
We produce and sell ourselves, and there is no price difference from TSMC, so it’s okay if the yield rate is low, not to mention that wafers with low yield rate cannot be used in high frequencies, but they can be made into low-frequency Kunpeng 700!”
"Yes, we research and produce it ourselves, which gives us more advantages."
Wang Yi said solemnly: "We must not lose the competition with the iPad. We finally defeated the 3rd generation iPad, but we must not let the 4th generation iPad come back!"
"Okay, Chairman!"
Zhu Changlin understood what Wang Yi meant, and chip mass production had to be accelerated.
The tablet battle with Apple must not be lost!
Later, Wang Yi looked at the sales of Xingyi TV.
In September, Xingyi TV X40 sales exceeded 3 million, and X50 sales exceeded 4 million!
Although it is not comparable to mobile phones, as a smart TV, it is already very high to achieve such results.
Of course, it is mainly domestic sales.
There is no way, there is insufficient production capacity, and internationalization is temporarily impossible.
At present, working overtime to produce is not enough.
This is not a good thing, we need to speed up the production capacity increase!
Especially overseas layout.
TVs are not as compact as mobile phones. On the contrary, they are very large and take up a lot of space. Transporting them overseas is very troublesome in terms of transportation costs, timeliness, and the risk of screen breakage.
It would be more appropriate to build a factory overseas.
There is nothing we can do about this.
After all, if it is produced in the mainland and shipped overseas by air, the cost will be too high.
Shipping to overseas by sea takes too long.
Coupled with tariffs and the like, it would be better to build factories overseas directly, produce core components domestically, and then ship them to overseas factories for assembly.
This will not only save trouble, but also reduce tariffs.
After thinking about this, Wang Yi called Jian Ziyan.
Four days later, Jian Ziyan saw Wang Yi again, her cheeks instantly turned red: "Chairman...I..."
Facts have proved that the impulse that night could not be suppressed in four days.
Wang Yi didn't think much and said directly:
"Ziyan, please inform the TV department that I will go there tomorrow to convene a high-level meeting. The topic is Xingyi TV's overseas establishment of a factory. Let them prepare in advance and choose the country and location where the factory will be built."
"Okay, Chairman!" Seeing Wang Yi's nonchalant look, Jian Ziyan quickly agreed and was about to run away, but was stopped by Wang Yi: "How is Douyin developing recently?"
"Chairman, Douyin is developing rapidly in China, with more than 80 million registered domestic users and more than 40 million daily active users."
With that said, Jian Ziyan took out a data report and handed it over.
Wang Yi looked at the data report carefully. This data is very scary. After all, Douyin has only been online for a month.
The reason why there are so many users is that Xingyi Mobile launched a new system version some time ago with built-in Douyin.
Currently, the number of Xingyi mobile phone users exceeds 150 million, and the number of domestic users exceeds 130 million.
After a system upgrade, the domestic version directly built-in 130 million Douyin APPs.
The report shows that 50% of Xingyi users have chosen to register to experience Douyin, more than 60 million.
In addition to the number of Douyin users of other brands, there are also 20 million, and the total number of Douyin users exceeds 80 million.
After experiencing these 80 million users, they found that Douyin is really fun, and 70% of them have become loyal users, with daily active users exceeding 40 million.
Wang Yi continued to look at the report: "The international version has gradually become popular, with more than 10 million daily active users overseas?"
"Yes, Chairman." Jian Ziyan said with a smile: "As the international version of Douyin became popular, Hanfu also became popular. Many foreigners began to buy Hanfu. The revenue of Meiyou Hanfu has continued to increase."
"In addition, "Nirvana in Fire" also became popular."
"The promotional short film and edited video of "Nirvana in Fire" has also become popular on the international version of Douyin, arousing the interest of overseas netizens. Many foreigners have even downloaded Xingyi Video to watch "Nirvana in Fire", but they can't understand Chinese. So it appeared
We have established a Chinese subtitle group to transliterate "Nirvana in Fire" for foreigners to read."
"Chinese subtitle group? So crazy?" Wang Yi's mouth twitched, feeling unbelievable.
There used to be an English subtitle group that translated American dramas for Chinese people to watch.
There is a Japanese subtitle group that translates action movies from the island country...
There is also a Korean subtitle group that translates Korean dramas.
Now there is a Chinese subtitle group translating "Nirvana in Fire"!
Wang Yidu couldn't help but laugh: "This is a good thing, it can also be regarded as cultural counter-invasion!"
Chapter completed!
