The president said anxiously: "Lao Xia, you don't need to worry about this. Except for your uncle, the three of us here are direct descendants. Don't you have anything to say? I hate it when you say something serious.
Let’s lay the groundwork for a wave of dead virtue.”
Wang Zhenjiang also nodded and said: "The president is right, you just took off your pants and farted - it's unnecessary. Come on, ancestors, what kind of business do you want to do?"
Xia Mingfan was quite able to keep his composure, smoking a cigarette and drinking tea calmly.
OK, I said.
Touching his nose, Xia Chen said: "I plan to get pirated discs."
Nani?
He Zhengbin was a little dizzy, "Aren't you just slapping yourself on the cheek?"
With an awkward smile, Xia Chen said: "That's why I don't plan to drag you along to do it together."
Wang Zhenhai asked: "What is a pirated disc?"
The president explained helpfully: "Let me tell you this, brother, if the DVD player is a gun, then the disc is the bullet. If there is no disc but a DVD player, you can't see anything."
Wang Zhenhai has his own understanding, "I understand, it's just like the relationship between a video recorder and a video tape."
"Bingo!" He Zhengbin snapped his fingers, then looked at Xia Chen and persuaded: "You can't do that. It would be a joke to ruin your own job. Just listen to me and let you do it.
To put it bluntly, if a DVD player costs 5,000 yuan, a disc should cost at least 50 yuan.
If our sales volume of video disc players is tentatively set at 2 million units per year, then the sales volume of discs can be at least five times that, or even more. Of course, this depends on how much movies are digitized. Even if there are only a few domestic movies
If a small part of it is made into CDs and sold outside, the profit will be very considerable, so there is no need for us to do such a slap in the face."
He analyzed it very well.
Xia Chen smiled and said: "You can't help but pirated discs. Often the pirated discs are already flying all over the place before the genuine discs come out, just like pirated video tapes. In this regard, the eldest brother has the most say."
Taking a puff of cigarette, Wang Zhenhai said: "Chen Zi is right. Ninety-nine percent of the movies shown in the video hall every night are pirated. Firstly, it is because the original tapes are too expensive to rent and sell.
It’s not cost-effective. Secondly, genuine video tapes are not released as quickly as pirated ones.”
Xia Chen added, "Moreover, a pirated disc costs less than one yuan, but can be sold for 10 yuan when sold outside. The profit margin is one thousand percent. If we don't do it, others will do it."
The president took a deep breath, slapped the table and said, "Then let's do it! This piece of meat is too fat!"
Several people laughed.
The president didn't feel ashamed at all. He smiled and said, "As you know, I have always listened to Chenzi's greetings. I am absolutely loyal to Chenzi."
"You are clearly loyal to money." Wang Zhenjiang pointed to the root of the president's thinking.
"Then what should we do?" The president asked Xia Chen, too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Well, this is actually quite illegal, but now there are no copyright laws or intellectual property laws to suppress it. It's just a sideshow at most." This guy was looking for psychological comfort for himself. After successfully convincing himself again,
He said: "In fact, the disc production process is not complicated. It is nothing more than reprinting the master copy of the movie. As long as we can get a large number of movies, hey... I don't need to say more about the rest."
Everyone nodded to show understanding.
Xia Mingfan's eyes lit up, showing his true colors as a smuggling boss, and said: "When it comes to doing this kind of thing, I am the most knowledgeable, because I have been at sea all year round...in the south, and I have contact with the coast.
There are many businessmen in the area, including young and old, and it’s not like Hong Kong and Taiwan tycoons have never drank together.
Let me tell you, if this business is done well, you will definitely make a fortune. Especially in recent years, Hong Kong movies have been so popular. We have to start with Hong Kong movies. You may not know that there are some film companies in Hong Kong.
The boss is the boss of the gang. As long as we win over them, we won’t have to worry about not having the master tapes of the movie. As long as we have the master tapes, we can kill the movie theater!"
The rapid breathing of the three guys echoed in the private room.
If it is true as Xia Mingfan said, then the profits from this business are not small, and it is not uncommon for several millionaires to be made in a year.
Looking at Xia Chen seriously, Wang Zhenhai said: "Chenzi, tell me what we should do. Everyone will listen to you."
Xia Chen smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to answer. He picked up the teacup and drank some water to calm down his aura.
Why did he bring the Wang brothers together to do this? Because the situation in the southern coastal cities was very complicated, and someone had to go there to control the situation. The Wang brothers knew the basics, and they would feel relieved in the past Xia Chen.
Another point is that Xia Chen does not plan to fully intervene in this business. After all, it is a bit sensitive. He is also worried that he will encounter ghosts sooner or later if he walks too much at night.
He is looking for a partner. Who is this partner? He has an idea in mind.
With a slight smile, Xia Chen said: "Let's see, my brother-in-law will be responsible for this matter. This factory cannot be opened in the capital. The south is the most suitable place. You have been in the south for a long time and are familiar with it.
Regarding the customs and customs over there, I can rest assured that you will take charge of the overall situation. I will give you five points of shares, is that okay?"
Xia Mingfan was calm, picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "If you are willing to help your brother-in-law, I will naturally have no problem with your brother-in-law. I don't want to stay in the capital and feel uncomfortable for a year."
Over time, I am more accustomed to life in the south."
"You prefer southern beauties, don't you?" Xia Chen teased him. People in their thirties are not getting married. My mother said in my previous life that he was very fancy.
"Don't tell me if you see through it." Xia Mingfan was honest.
Xia Chen turned his attention to Wang Zhenjiang, "Second brother, is it okay for you to leave your hometown and go to the south for a while?"
Wang Zhenjiang geared up and said, "You really hit my waist and eye with this punch. To be honest, I'm tired of staying in the capital. No problem, I'll go and give my uncle some punches."
Xia Chen said: "Pick five people from among the brothers to go with you. I will also give the eldest brother and the second brother five points of shares."
Wang Zhenjiang nodded and said: "Okay!"
The president was anxious: "What about me? What can I do?"
Xia Chen smiled and said: "You go to Guangzhou with your uncle and second brother, and introduce your good friend to my uncle. After you go, tell him that you will give him 20% of this deal."
But the prerequisite is that we need to borrow his factory buildings and equipment for production. He is still nominally the person in charge of the factory, but in fact he is asked to listen to his uncle's orders from now on. Is there any problem?"
The president thought about it and asked, "Are you talking about Qiu Zuozhong? The one who sells pirated game consoles?"
"Who else could there be besides him?" This is the scapegoat prepared by Xia Chen. After his uncle passes away, he will not build a new factory, but will use the factory to develop his business. This can minimize the risk factor.
The president was very aware of the cautious side of Xia Chen's character. He understood what he was thinking after just a moment's thought. He smiled evilly and said, "You are trying to pass on the risk and dig a hole to bury someone."
It’s so vicious! But I like it!”
After listening to the president's words, Xia Mingfan also understood what Xia Chen meant. He was impressed by his nephew's transparent mind and said with a smile: "Chen Zi is right to be so cautious. Even if he shares some interests, he can't put himself at risk."
Put it inside."
Xia Chen smiled and said: "I'm telling you in advance that this business can only be done for two years at most. We will stop after the relevant legal provisions are released.
In addition, uncle, that Qiu Zuozhong is a veteran pirate. No matter in terms of experience or connections, we can't compare. When our machine is turned on, he will definitely not be reconciled when he sees that we earn more than him, and he will definitely
will follow our model.
You must not take care of him, he can do whatever he likes, our goal is to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and run away, and we must not get into too deep."
Xia Chen knew this very well.
Although every entrepreneur has some original sins when he first starts his business.
But he wanted to minimize this original sin to avoid being criticized in the future.
Xia Mingfan nodded and said: "Of course I understand what you are talking about. Don't worry, we have a cooperative relationship and we won't get too close."
Xia Chen was very reassured by his uncle's conduct. This guy was not an ordinary smart person. As long as he was willing to use his intelligence in the right way, this business would definitely be a big hit.
The president asked Xia Chen: "How many shares can you give me?"
"Are you satisfied with my brother-in-law and brother-in-law?" Xia Chen asked with a smile.
"Hey, you must be satisfied, good brother, be loyal!"
Xia Chen picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Then let's settle this matter, one request, and prepare to leave as soon as possible. Also, uncle, you have a way over in Hong Kong. The film mastering matter is hard work.
You worry too much."
Xia Mingfan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Maybe I can hook up two Hong Kong female stars for you."
Speaking of Hong Kong female stars, I recommend Ye Yuqing first.
Xia Chen chuckled and said: "Uncle, focus on an actress named Ye Yuqing. That woman, tsk..."
You know, next year, her revealing photos for the weekly magazine will cause a sensation, and soon after, the trilogy of "Can't Help It", "I'm Crazy for You", and "The Beautiful Lady" will push her popularity to a climax.
For such a coquettish woman, it would be very disrespectful for this era not to copy her films.
Xia Mingfan was stunned for a moment and asked: "How do you know this actress?"
It seems that my nephew has never been to Hong Kong, right?
Xia Chen said calmly: "The third place in the Miss Asia beauty pageant has been on the cover of magazines. The magazines that the president likes to read have introduced it, so I just took a look at it. I have a deep memory."
The president scratched his head and muttered: "Why don't I have any impression at all?"
