Becoming the richest man starts with making complaints

Chen Feng lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Zhen, this first shot is very important, especially for a new smartphone brand. If it is not done well, even if your second shot is good, you will still need to spend a lot of effort to clean up the previous negative impression. "

Zhen Chong nodded: "Mr. Chen, what you said makes sense."

"So I think the R\u0026D team should be given enough time to make the product solid and the user experience good. After all, you are building a brand." Chen Feng continued.

"Yes, I have the same idea. Since I want to do something, I have to act like it. But now that the news has been released, I am very passive. This is me too, and I have not made a good decision."

Chen Feng stretched out his finger, pointed at Zhen Chong and then pointed at himself: "We have the same origin, so I'll tell you openly. I just did the calculations. Mr. Zhen, your phone sells for 1,299, and each unit does not count the research and development cost. and market costs, at least 700 yuan will be paid."

Zhen Chong turned the tea cup and sighed: "Moreover, our shipment volume is small, and the price given by the supplier is not good. We lose more than 800 per unit, and I really want to drink from the profit."

"Then if you add in the Huanshi Video membership fee, R\u0026D and marketing expenses, you will probably lose more than a thousand dollars per unit." Chen Feng tapped the table with his fingertips: "My suggestion is, rather than losing money and rushing to make one, It’s just a mediocre one. It’s better to spend money and buy a really useful one.”

Zhen Chong's eyes flashed, and he came closer and said, "What should I say?"

“Buy products from Eight Stars and Eight Arrows or HCC directly, change the shell and packaging, and put your own logo on them. In this way, users will definitely have no problem using them, and the price/performance ratio is extremely high. The reputation will spread instantly.

The next time you sell, you can save a lot on marketing expenses. And time is also freed up, so you can slowly develop it. "

Zhen Chong looked at Chen Feng and his eyes lit up. Why didn't I think of such a shameless idea? He is indeed a scholar!

At this moment, Chen Feng became Zhen Chong's own. Not only did he come up with an excellent idea, which made Zhen Chong want to get on board in terms of ability, but more importantly, this shameless idea was like a letter of surrender, a kind of "honest interview" that revealed the truth. Coupled with Chen Feng's Wall Street background, Zhen Chong's choice of secretary to the board of directors was immediately finalized.

"Brother Chen, this idea of ​​yours has simply solved my urgent need. We are on our own, so if I have anything to say, I will just say it directly. You see, brother, I am just a coal digger. I don't understand anything. I just need it." Brothers like you are here to help, and we can get things done together!" He put his hand on Chen Feng's shoulder: "I'm preparing to go public, and the position of secretary to the board of directors must be yours!"

Chen Feng did not agree immediately. He needed to add a few more fires to fill Zhen Chong's thirst and ignite his wealth.

So, Chen Feng patted Zhen Chong's arm:

"Brother, you are serious. We are all on our own. The secretary to the board of directors of a listed company is a senior executive and needs to make careful decisions. Today, as a brother, I will give you some suggestions. Regarding the development of the company and yourself, please refer to the details. …”

Chen Feng did not agree immediately, but contributed value first. If Zhen Chong is a newbie, he will definitely think that Chen Feng is very authentic. But although Zhen Chong is struggling with smartphones, this is not a problem of IQ and EQ, but just paying tuition in a field that he does not understand.

Therefore, he understood it as soon as he heard it. Chen Feng is interested in the position of Secretary to the Board, and now he is exchanging value for price. This is completely understandable, everyone wants to sell themselves at a good price. As long as you are willing to negotiate the price, you are interested!

Zhen Chong was naturally very interested in Chen Feng's suggestion and took the opportunity to explore his strength.

Although he and Chen Feng were fellow townsmen and EMBA classmates, they actually didn't know each other very well. There was another reason why Chen Feng was invited to the banquet yesterday.

Zhen Chong is a person who believes in fate. In his early years, coal mining was actually risky. Coal mines are prone to accidents, so coal bosses often pray to God for peace and prosperity. In the process, Zhen Chong met a fortune teller who was very accurate. The longer the relationship lasts, the more he believes this.

The master gave him a horoscope. The sun pillar is earth, and the coal mine belongs to earth and fire. For Zhen Chong, it is his parallel and seal. The so-called comparison means that friends and colleagues have the power to help, and the seal has the meaning of protection. Therefore, Zhen Chong's coal mine operation will go smoothly and nothing will happen.

But if you want to make a fortune, you must do something related to water. Because water is Zhen Chong's real wealth, and the entertainment industry belongs to water, it is for this reason that Zhen Chong did not hesitate to enter the film and television industry, and as expected, he won and prospered.

However, if the character Zhen Chong is weak, he will not be able to bear the burden of having too much wealth. So it would be good if there are people around you who can help you, shoulder the burden together, and make money together. Because of this, Zhen Chong is a generous person who loves to make friends.

As for Chen Feng, Zhen Chong had accidentally obtained his birth date before. After calculation, he was also Rizhu Jitu, so he was his equal. This relationship is good and worthy of being friends and building a career together. Therefore, when Chen Feng said that he had a project introduction, Zhen Chong immediately called him over.

Zhen Chong once again lamented Chen Feng's performance today, the master's calculations were really accurate! But he didn't mention this. Chen Feng majored in science and engineering and had a doctorate abroad. He probably didn't believe this. If he said it, he might even despise him for being superstitious.

So Zhen Chong served Chen Feng more tea and listened attentively.

Chen Feng took a sip:

“I think there are two things that are more important for Huanshi’s listing.

The first is business. Huansi’s current main business is website videos, selling memberships and advertising. Another major source of income is selling copyrights.

But I must also know that the copyright of Huanshi’s film and television dramas in the past two years has dividends. However, there is a ceiling for user demand for old movies. Only the launch of new TV series and movies will bring in new users and create stickiness. "

Zhen Chong nodded: "That's true. There will always be a time when the copyrights in stock are used up. And the prices of new films are getting higher and higher, and several companies are vying for them.

In the future, if Huanshi Video wants to continue to gain users, it will have to bid for copyrights like other companies, and its previous advantage in price will be gone.

Therefore, our model of making money by selling copyrights will not continue to make money forever.

It is also because of this that I went to catch the smartphone train. "

Now that Zhen Chong is aware of this problem, it would be great. Chen Feng continued:

"Smartphones are not directly related to Huanshi and copyright business. Although it is a big market, the synergy effect is not high. Huanshi has resources in the film and television industry. My suggestion is to continue to pave the way along this path. open."

Zhen Chong looked at Chen Feng: "What do you mean, brother?"

Chen Feng said: "Do movie distribution. Brother, you see, urbanization is a trend. With the process of urbanization, the number of movie theaters will definitely increase, which means an increase in big screens. There are dividends for cinema movie distribution. Here I am.

And brother, you have rich resources in the film and television industry. When you release movies online, they are distributed online, and when they are released in movie theaters, they are distributed offline. In the future, when you get a new movie, distribute it to theaters first and then distribute it online. Compared with other video websites, you will make money twice. "

Zhen Chong recalled Chen Feng's words and found them very enlightening. Urbanization process dividends, very good! Making money twice is great! And this is considered a skill he has accumulated, it is just another step forward, unlike smart phones, which he does not understand at all.

"My brother, this is a very good proposal! We already have a copyright procurement team, so we need to form a new offline film distribution team."

Chen Feng took out his mobile phone and opened the business plan of the film distribution company to be financed and showed it to Zhen Chong:

"Brother, I have a ready-made one here. I came to you yesterday to talk about this. The team is very good and I have checked it carefully. The market share is also good, and it is currently among the top five in the country. And the team is not big, and the financing is not good. The amount is not high, but if you can give it some blessing, it will definitely take off."

Zhen Chong took the phone and looked at it from a distance: "It's not bad, it's good! What do you think of acquiring this company?"

Chen Feng was startled for a moment. He originally just wanted to raise funds.

If acquired, that would be even better! The acquisition amount is large, and his investment bank commission is huge!

Moreover, the acquirer is Huanshi Video and has resources. As long as the deception is in place, the project side cannot accept being acquired.

So he showed his thumbs up and said, "Good advice, bro! This will give Huanshi an extra piece of business."

"And," Chen Feng touched his nose: "The acquisition can be cashed out."

"How do you say this?" There is a lock-up period for stock listings, usually starting from six months. And for shareholders like CEOs, reducing their holdings will affect the stock price.

"Arrange with the acquirer in advance to offer a higher price that the China Securities Regulatory Commission will allow. After the acquisition, ask the other party to pay you the money higher than the price. Of course, you will pay in installments during this process to prevent the other party from defaulting on the bill. I gave you the money that should be given to you. Of course, the money sent to you still needs to be washed, which costs a little." Zhen Chong suddenly realized, that's it! No wonder many companies like to engage in mergers and acquisitions after going public. There is such a trick...

"I will send you the information of this issuing company. Brother, you can study it carefully. If you are interested, please tell me at any time. But be quick, because they are also raising funds. If they get investors' money this time, it may be better. Willing to grow independently rather than be acquired.”

"Okay, okay! I will reply to you as soon as possible." Zhen Chong quickly expressed his stance and continued to ask: "Brother just said two things, is there another one?"

Chen Feng looked at Zhen Chong and said very sincerely: "The other thing is your personal packaging, brother. Brother, you are going to go public now, so your identity and background..."

That is to give yourself a premium!

This is what Zhen Chong is most concerned about. He was born as a coal boss, and the general impression from the outside world is that he is a wealthy upstart.

He is really too arrogant, and now that he wants to build the Internet and smart phones, he must get rid of this identity. At least it should look more cultured and tasteful.

Although I also signed up for the EMBA class, the public effect was not very good. Instead, the EMBA became a gold-plated tool that can be studied if you have money.

Brokerages have also hinted at this, and even want to give money to the media to win prizes for technology entrepreneurship or Internet entrepreneurship.

As a result, the media didn't dare to accept her, which shows how frustrating this identity is.

In addition, he used to be involved in the entertainment industry and interacted with female stars a lot, which added a layer of buff to his status as "nouveau riche coal boss", making him even more reserved now...
