Chapter 373 It’s not cost-effective
Manager Hunter was heartbroken by her words and said quickly: "Ms. An, our company respects you from top to bottom, otherwise you wouldn't be able to send me to negotiate the contract in person.
If you have any ideas or requirements, just tell us and we will try our best to meet them. "
An Zhixia sighed softly: "Why don't you, Manager Hunter, tell us your psychological expectations?"
“Ms. An, what do you mean?”
"It's how many users you expect Xia Huaguo will have on the Internet in the next five years and how much profit you want to make, so that I can see how effective the publicity is," An Zhixia said with a chuckle: "Manager Hunter, you should think it over carefully. I know I don’t like to be tested by others.”
Manager Hunter thought for a while and said seriously: "Ms. An, cable TV systems are very expensive. One system costs one million Canadian dollars, which is your two million soft girl coins. Ten systems are worth 20 million Canadian dollars." yuan, plus the cost of cables, installation and maintenance, etc., it can be said that our cost will reach 27 million yuan in five years.
Even if our requirements are not high, we still need to earn twice as much on the basis of cost recovery, right? After all, this is a hugely profitable industry relying on technology, and our profit requirements are really not that high. "
"Eighty-one million yuan?" An Zhixia raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Manager Hunter, is a wired system really worth one million Canadian dollars? Why did I hear that the price was cheaper than this more than ten years ago? Your company spent more than 700,000 Canadian dollars on acquiring two cable TV systems in the first year, right?"
Manager Hunter could not hide his surprise.
He then broke into a cold sweat on his forehead and tried to pretend to be calm: "Ms. An, technology is developing very rapidly now, and cable TV systems are also being updated very quickly. What we provide to your country is the latest cable TV system, which is naturally expensive.
Moreover, this batch of systems can receive satellite signals. Even TV programs from other countries do not need to be airlifted to the destination as in the past, and the signals can be received and broadcast directly.
One million Canadian dollars or the discounted price our company got. "
"Manager Hunter, as far as I know, the number of foreign cable TV systems is increasing at a rate of one per week. They are all mass-produced. Will the price remain high? If I am not wrong, the one million Canadian dollars you quoted is at least Three wired systems can be purchased.
The cost to you in five years is up to 10 million yuan. So after deducting the cost of 81 million yuan, you will make a net profit of 70 million yuan." Every time An Zhixia mentioned a figure, Manager Hunter's pupils involuntarily shrank.
Without waiting for his reply, An Zhixia continued: "Although your company has been established for more than ten years, the income is not as high as you expected for Xia Hua. You claim to be the largest cable TV network in Canada, with an annual revenue of 8,000 One million Canadian dollars, but in fact, you have been losing money in the past two years, right?
And it still lost 89 million a year!
Mr. Hunter, tell me why you have such high expectations for Xiahua’s profits? Seventy million yuan is enough to buy out seven systems and cables. "
Sweat was streaming down Manager Hunter's head. He forced a smile and asked: "Ms. An, how did you get these data?"
"Part of it is asking with my mouth, and part of it is calculation with my head. Although I can't get an accurate number, it still allows me to have an idea," she said with a smile: "Canada is not the only country that can bid for any cooperation. Those who have the strength and financial resources to enter the Xiahua TV Network system.”
“We have signed the contract,” Manager Hunter finally regained his consciousness, exhaled, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile. He was almost led astray by An Zhixia.
"I know," An Zhixia took a sip of tea, "You also said before that the consumption concept of the people in Xiahua is not as good as that in Canada, and the number of users who have accessed the Internet in the past five years may not be optimistic. Since you are looking for me to promote, you have to Come up with a particularly realistic expected profit.
Your own country can't even achieve profits, so why bother embarrassing me, a woman? "
“Of course, the more the merrier, Ms. An, use all your skills to publicize it, our company will definitely not treat you badly!”
"One thousandth of profit? Or one percent of profit?" She raised her eyebrows and sneered.
Manager Hunter smiled coquettishly, “For an individual, one percent profit is not low.”
An Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "How about if you add 50 additional cable TV systems and 10 million meters of cable within five years, I will make a profit of 120 million for you? I want a 2% share!"
“Ms. An, a profit of 120 million is not a small sum of money,” Manager Hunter couldn’t help swallowing, looking at the young, beautiful and extremely confident An Zhixia, and said with a trembling voice. "If we can really achieve this much profit, then I can promise you a two percent share."
An Zhixia nodded: "It's true, let's make a contract! If I can make a profit of 120 million, the extra profit will belong to Xia Hua. If the profit does not reach 120 million, Canada can make another profit." Five years of cable TV charges.”
Manager Hunter thought about it carefully for a while and quickly agreed. He quickly called the lawyer and asked him to draft a contract as soon as possible. Without An Zhixia's propaganda, given Xia Huaguo's current situation, they might not be able to make back their capital in five years, let alone make a profit of 120 million!
Even if he knew that Xia Huaguo could make more profits, he could only accept the contract.
On the ship, the two parties signed another publicity and collection contract.
After more than two days on the boat, everyone stepped on the ground firmly when they reached the shore, and still felt that their whole bodies were shaking.
The TV station has received a call from Meng Han and sent a bus to pick them up at the pier.
There are a lot of cables on the cargo ship, and the trucks of the transportation team are pulling them to Kyoto one after another.
The leaders of the Ministry of Culture and Sports and the directors personally went to the door of the TV station to greet them. The group exchanged greetings and settled in. An Zhixia handed the two contracts to the director.
The director's heart trembled subconsciously, and he carefully looked through the documents. When he saw the second contract, he jumped up in shock. "Deputy Station Xiao An, are you crazy? In five years, you need to generate 1.8 billion yuan in revenue after including costs? You have to collect 36 million yuan in cable TV fees a year. Even if you sell our station, you still make no profit. Don’t come back so much!
This contract is obviously not good for us. If the revenue is enough to reach 1.8 billion, wouldn't it be equivalent to us buying their systems and equipment and paying tens of millions more in profits? If this standard is not met, they will have to charge fees for another five years.
It’s not worth it even for our Xia Hua country! "
An Zhixia curled her lips and said, "How could that be?"
