Although Yunchi's money burning rate is not as fast as that of Deep Space Computer, it is still very scary. Last month, their company's deficit even reached more than 20 million yuan.
A newly rebuilt sporting goods company's one-month deficit is equivalent to a year's sales of many companies. I'm afraid not many people would believe it.
You know, last year, Adidas's domestic turnover in China was less than 100 million yuan. Even Adidas's rival, Nike, which is very successful in marketing in China, had only a little over 200 million yuan in China last year.
That's all.
Yunchi has a monthly deficit of 20 million. This figure is quite scary even for Nike.
The reason why the deficit is so high is because during this period Yunchi is expanding production and adding stores in first-tier cities. In addition, their cooperation with AC Milan has recently required a large amount of expenditure every month.
"I heard that there are some specialty stores that you personally identified?" Yu Dong asked.
Hu Hao smiled and nodded: "There are indeed two specialty stores that I inspected. Yunchi faces young customers, so in addition to the bustling city center, we also focus on some university towns.
area."
"Has your new office location been determined?" Yu Dong asked again.
Hu Hao shook his head, "Not yet, but there is no rush. The company does not have high requirements for office locations, and the business is mainly outside... There may be investment in Hexi next year, and we will pay attention to it then."
Although the big bosses of Yunchi are also Yu Dong and Jimmy, they are still clearly separated from Shen Kong Company. At least Shen Kong cannot provide them with an office area in the park.
However, relying on the relationship between Yu Dong and Jimmy, it is easy for Yunchi to obtain good conditions in attracting investment.
"Mr. Ji is here."
Hu Hao was about to say something when he suddenly saw Jimmy walking in from outside the door, so he smiled and waved to Jimmy.
When Jimmy saw Yu Dong and Hu Hao, he nodded towards them and walked over quickly.
As soon as he came over, Jimmy patted Hu Hao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Not bad, Mouse, the team uniforms designed by Yunchi this time are very beautiful. When I came in just now, I heard the British team discussing this set of clothes.
, it sounds like they are very envious, to be honest, I want to get one and wear it."
Hu Hao smiled and said, "Haha, I'll keep it for you all."
"That's great. By the way, during this time, you can talk to Teacher Liu Changmin and see if you can design a football uniform for their Jinyi faculty football team. Lao Bi hinted at me before."
"Okay, I'll talk to Teacher Liu later." Hu Hao nodded.
Jimmy patted Hu Hao on the shoulder, "You have to be more careful about this and design the football uniforms to look better. Think about the people in their Jinyi faculty team. These people wearing Yunchi's clothes are equal to
It's a walking advertisement, and the most important thing is that these people won't charge you for advertising."
Hu Hao touched his head: "Actually, I thought about designing a set of cultural shirts for their International Writing Center before, so that they can wear our brand's cultural shirts when they attend events."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "There is no need for this. Now Yu Hua and the others will attend the event with more Chuan Yunchi."
Yu Hua and the others all have Yunchi cards, and it is more cost-effective to buy their clothes and shoes, and Yunchi's clothes and shoes are really good-looking, so they usually buy a lot.
Since Yunchi's advertisement was broadcast on TV, the brand's popularity has skyrocketed, especially in Jinling, where Jinling TV station broadcasts Yunchi's advertisement every day.
Fortunately, there are many types of Yunchi advertisements, and many of them have plots, so they are not boring to watch, otherwise they might arouse people's disgust.
Yunchi is well-known in Jinling, on the one hand because Jinling TV broadcasts many of their advertisements, and on the other hand because Yunchi has many specialty stores in Jinling.
While many provincial capital cities do not yet have Yunchi stores, Jinling has four large stores in one city, and each one is more impressive than the last. Except for the one near the Deep Space Park, the other three are all in the most prosperous areas.
location.
Yunchi specialty store has a special feature. Regardless of the size of the store, the signboard of the specialty store must be very large, and it is the kind of thing that can be seen from a long distance away.
Moreover, Yunchi's signboard is very simple, usually with a white ground and a three-handled sword on it, which looks a bit like a trident from a distance, which attracts people's attention very much.
Jimmy glanced at the contestants who were still walking out, and said with a smile: "I was originally going to come over to listen to the announcement, but I was stopped halfway by Li Mingtang, the vice president of Acer.
"He has something to do with you?"
"No or..."
Just as Jimmy spoke, Hu Hao suddenly said: "Boss, Mr. Ji, you guys talk, I'll go talk to the boys at the club. There will be a game tomorrow and I'll give them some blood."
"Well, go ahead and get busy." Yu Dong nodded.
After Hu Hao left, Jimmy said with a smile: "This guy, Mouse, still avoids suspicion."
"He really wants to talk to the boys at the club. Whether Yunchi AG can win a championship this time is still very important to Yunchi. If they can win the championship, their operation this time will not be worth it.
Twenty million is worth at least two million," Yu Dong said.
"Indeed." Jimmy nodded in agreement, and then said back to Acer Vice President Li Mingtang: "Li Mingtang came to me for sponsorship."
"The competition starts tomorrow, why is he here to talk about sponsorship now?"
Jimmy explained, "He came to talk about the sponsorship for the next term. I saw that they were very angry at not being able to compete with Dell and Samsung this year. He just held me in chat for a long time, saying that we were too busy with sponsorships.
We were in a hurry and didn't give them enough time. If we give them enough time and enough mental preparation, they will definitely be able to beat Samsung and Dell."
Yu Dong smiled. In fact, he didn’t blame Li Mingtang for complaining. This time they were really quick to sponsor the World Electronic Game Competition. It could even be said to be in a hurry. Basically, they didn’t conduct multiple comparisons. It was just who was the winner in the first and second rounds.
It will be given to the one with the highest bid.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Dell and Samsung were much higher than Acer at first glance, so Deep Space did not consider Acer and directly approached Samsung and Dell.
When the matter was settled, Acer found that they could actually afford the prices offered by Samsung and Dell. Of course, they felt a little dissatisfied. They felt that time was too hasty, so they lost in the competition.
But in fact, Acer can't blame others because their initial price was too conservative. If their first price wasn't quite different from Dell and Samsung, they would at least have a chance to continue competing.
Of course, the reason why I didn't choose Acer was not only because of the price, but also because Acer's current strength cannot be compared with other large companies.
As for them sponsoring the next competition now, Yu Dong couldn't help but shook his head, "It's too early to sponsor the next competition now."
Jimmy nodded: "That's what I told Li Mingtang too. He insisted on helping us organize the auditions for the next competition. According to their wishes, starting from the regional competition, they will provide computer equipment.
"
"Then what do you say?" Yu Dong asked.
"What can I say? I just told him that we are not sure yet whether there will be a next class. Even if there is a next class, it will not be under our deep space control. It will be handled by other organizations... I said
Every word is true."
"Well, that's the truth." Yu Dong gave Jimmy a thumbs up, "Who doesn't know that your nickname is Jimmy, the Honest Man?"
"I'll take it as what you said... I'm not very interested in Acer's sponsorship, but after chatting with Li Mingtang for a while, I benefited a lot. Acer seems to be acquiring a small PC manufacturer recently. Can you see
It can be seen that their layout is quite large. This makes me admire, after all, the internal situation of Acer is not very optimistic."
Yu Dong didn't know much about Acer, and he didn't know much about their plans. However, Acer's ability to achieve what it did later certainly had merit, and there would be no harm in Deep Sky learning from them.
"Acer's vice president came here this time to find you to sponsor wcg?" Yu Dong asked.
Acer is not a partner of Deep Space Company, and they were not invited to this Deep Space Annual Meeting. At this time, it is a bit intriguing that their vice president suddenly appeared at Deep Space Company. Yu Dong did not believe that he came just to sponsor WCG.
Jimmy said with a smile: "You are really here just for sponsorship, but it is not just sponsoring WCG, but also sponsoring other aspects. Acer has invested a lot in sports sponsorship in recent years, and it was just a small deal at the beginning.
Since last year, their investment has become generous. Last year, they signed a contract with the Asian Committee to sponsor the Bangkok Asian Games. The value of the software and hardware provided alone exceeded 10 million US dollars. Recently, they are discussing the sponsorship of Chinese football.
It should also cost several million US dollars. According to Li Mingtang, they are also planning to sponsor the Chinese Olympic Bid Committee. Originally, they were going to send angry people over, but Li Mingtang took the initiative to ask for it and came over in person. He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to come over.
Let’s see if there are any opportunities for cooperation with us.”
"Did he say how much money he wanted to sponsor the Olympic bid committee?" Yu Dong asked.
"I haven't said it, it shouldn't be much. Although the Olympic bid is important, it cannot cost too much, and the country cannot accept high funding. I have asked about this before, and the Olympic bid committee will only accept a few million yuan at most.
"
Yu Dong couldn't help but be speechless. Jimmy said it lightly, as if millions of RMB were not money in his mouth, but in fact, for the Olympic bid, millions of RMB are already a big help.
"Acer's market is already very big, so the cooperation between us may not be too deep."
Jimmy shook his head, "It's hard to say. Acer is going through a very big rectification this year, and the company's situation has changed a lot. At this juncture, Acer's instability may not be an opportunity for us."
Acer has indeed not been doing particularly well recently. Their stock has been falling, their internal organization has expanded, and the shortcomings of a family business have gradually emerged.
At this time, most companies will choose internal integration, but Acer's current situation is that it is no longer possible to rely on internal integration to recover, and they need to make some bigger changes.
Jimmy snooped around and heard some news that Acer wanted to implement spin-off measures and spin off some of its companies.
At this time, if Deep Space chooses to intervene, it may be an opportunity.
But everything depends on the attitude of Shi Zhengrong, the head of Acer Group. No matter which company it is divided into, Acer is the single largest shareholder of these branches. As long as Shi Zhengrong is unwilling to let go, these branches will still be firmly controlled by Acer.
In your hands, no outsiders will touch you.
Outsiders naturally include Deep Space Company. In fact, Jimmy has taken a fancy to BenQ Dentsu, a subsidiary of Acer Group. As Acer's OEM company, BenQ Dentsu has a deep foundation, but it is not easy to get involved.
"During this period, I will spend more time researching the Acer Group. Maybe we will have a chance this time."
Yu Dong nodded. He couldn't worry about this kind of thing, so he could only leave it to Jimmy and the others.
"Is there any problem with funds?"
"There is no problem for the time being. We still have enough money. During this period, publishers, booksellers and some bookstores have paid us a lot of money."
In fact, the money paid by publishers, booksellers and bookstores to Deep Space Company does not belong to Deep Space Company, or in other words, not all of it belongs to Deep Space Company. Most of the money will eventually flow into the pockets of writers. Deep Space Company only
Five to 20 percent of it will remain.
But there is a time difference in between.
Under normal circumstances, Deep Space Company will only pay a portion of the royalties to the author first, and most of the remaining royalties will be paid after three months or even six months.
This money stays on Deep Space Company's account for three months or even half a year, bringing considerable profits to Deep Space Company. Such a huge cash flow makes Deep Space Company's capital operation always very healthy.
It is true that money begets money. As long as you have money on hand, you are not afraid of not making money.
The reason why Amazon can still be favored by investors despite continuous losses is because they have a good cash flow.
"It's good if you have money. If you don't have money, my royalty company can pay me later. Anyway, I'm not short of money now."
Jimmy smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. If the company is really short of money, I will hold on to not only your book money, but also Yu Hua's book money."
This is not a joke. If the company is really short of money, Jimmy will definitely do such a thing.
The royalties for people like Yu Dong are not a small sum. Speaking of Yu Dong's alone, if the Deep Space Company suppresses his royalties for a year, it will be able to retain at least several hundred million yuan.
If Yu Dong’s other copyright income is also retained, the unit will have to be changed to US dollars.
