"Get to work. You will be very busy soon!" Boss Jia went to make a phone call, then patted Jack Orlens' shoulder and said with a smile.
"Okay, but I think I can spend 6 months on the preparation work. Although my father and I know a lot of people, it takes a lot of time to build a perfect sales network. I think it will take about 6 months …"
"No, you don't have six months!" Boss Jia Yapeng said with a smile, "Three months. You only have three months at most. Starting from February next year, the electronic monsters will be officially launched!"
Boss Jia said that it was too short. After the research center received the task of creating the electronic monsters, it only took them three days to get the samples. The whole set of production process was finalized in five days, and the official production began in a month. These were all domestic parts, so the production speed was faster.
Suddenly, Boss Jia thought of something.
"Oh, that's not right. Actually, from next month onwards, you'll have to start distributing the goods because the first batch of Pokemon dolls has already started shipping. It's estimated that they'll arrive at the Manhattan pier in a month's time. Your task is to immediately deliver these plush dolls to the children who are craving for them as soon as the goods arrive!"
"A month's time! Now they have already been shipped. This is crazy. How is this possible? "Jack Orlens covered his mouth and said in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible. My Daqian Group has actually started to produce the Pokemon plush toys as early as April this year. Now, there are 100 million different Pokemon plushies stored in the warehouse in the hall!" Boss Jia said with squinted eyes.
The Daqian Educational Toy Factory had completed the expansion of production this year. It had added three new toy production lines. It was no longer just producing and manufacturing four-wheel-drive toys.
"100 million! You actually have a ready-made toy factory! " Jack Orrance sucked in a breath of cold air. He only knew that Boss Jia was the boss of the Pokemon Research and Development Company, which specialized in making games. However, he had never expected that Boss Jia actually had a toy factory.
"Oh, you didn't talk to your father about this. Otherwise, if your father had been in Hua Xia all the time, he would have heard of my Daqian Group!" Boss Jia said with a smile. "Give your father a good call. I'm sure your father will explain the power of the Da Qian Corporation to you!"
"Yes!" Jack Orlens nodded.
"Oh, right. Even brothers have to settle accounts. Although the United States Daqian toys is a subsidiary of the Daqian Group, internal accounts still have to be settled. You have to spend money to buy the plush toys produced by the Daqian Educational Toy Factory!"
"Yes!" When Jack Orlens heard this, his face suddenly turned bitter. Then, he said, "Boss, if this is the case, then our company's initial capital of 10 million USD is far from enough to buy the plush toys that are worth 100 million USD!"
"It's okay. I will give you 20 million USD as the first batch!"
"But that's still not enough!" Jack Orlens smiled even more bitterly. "The cost of a plush toy is about two dollars. If I want to buy 20 million plush toys, I'll need 40 million dollars. Boss, you'll have to give me another 30 million dollars!"
"What? Who told you that the cost of my plush toys is two USD? " Boss Jia looked at Jack Orlens in surprise, then said calmly, "This batch of plush toys is divided into 12 different models. The smallest plush toy only costs 5 USD. The largest plush toy, which is half a person's height, only costs 1.5 USD. On average, each plush toy costs 30 USD at most. You only need to spend 3 million USD to buy them!"
"So cheap!" Jack Orlens's mouth was wide open. "Boss, are you selling them to us at a loss?"
"No, this is the wholesale price!" Jia Yapeng smacked his lips and said, "This price is twice the cost of each plush toy. My Smart Learning Appliance Factory still needs to make some money!"
"What? The actual cost of 20 million plush toys is only 1.5 million USD!" Jack Orlens felt as if he had been hit in the head by Thor's hammer. He was so shocked by the data that he was at a loss. He was even trembling.
"Oh my God, for the same batch of goods, the cost of Hasbro's purchase in the United States is at least 40 million USD. But for the same batch of goods from Hua Xia, the cost is only 1.5 million USD. How is Hasbro going to play this game? How is he going to play us? " Jack Orlens swallowed his saliva. With this price, Jack Orlens could almost see Hasbro's huge toy empire collapsing in front of him.
And this was also the first time that Hua Xia's productivity and population dividend showed its ferocious fangs in the United States.
This was the beginning of madein China.
After the trip to Rhode Island, Boss Jia returned to New York. It was already mid-November. Boss Jia had been in the United States for more than a month. He had had enough of the hamburgers and fries in the United States, so he said to Harry Potter, "Go and tell Pereman that the acquisition has failed. We are going to give up on the acquisition of Marvel."
"What?" Harry Potter stared at his boss with his eyes wide open. The acquisition of Marvel that had been going on for more than a month was over?
— — —
"What? You are going to give up on the acquisition of Marvel? " In Pereman's huge office with a skylight, Pereman heard the shocking news from Harry Potter. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The matter that had been going on for a month was over?
"Yes, I'm very sorry, Mr. Pereman. We have disturbed you for the past month. We, the America First Foundation, officially inform you today that the acquisition will be officially terminated!" Harry Potter said with a smile.
"Damn, did I screw it up?" Pereman's heart tightened. In fact, Pereman couldn't wait to get rid of the burden of Marvel immediately because there was almost no profit to be made from Marvel.
All the liquid funds in Marvel's hands were used by Pereman to acquire some garbage entertainment companies and cash out. As for some well-known Superheroes in Marvel, most of them had been sold by Pereman to major entertainment companies around the world.
It's just that the recent Superhero movies were a bit weak. Almost all of them failed miserably at the box office. Major entertainment companies around the world were no longer willing to acquire the IP of Superheroes, so most of the remaining Superheroes had become worthless burdens.
What's worse was that the sales of Marvel's comics had plummeted. From the peak of tens of millions of copies per month, it had fallen to less than 3 million copies. The money earned from selling comics wasn't even enough to pay the salaries of cartoonists and editors. It was said that many cartoonists and editors had gone on strike and were preparing to protest against Pereman.
Therefore, Pereman couldn't wait to get rid of this burden immediately. However, as a capitalist's instinct, and at the same time, he saw the eagerness of the negotiator, Harry Potter. He felt that Marvel seemed to be able to be sold at a good price, so he insisted on 50 million USD. Later, he used the plummeting sales of the game as an excuse to raise the price to 80 million USD.
He thought that he would reduce the price to 50 million USD, so that he could sell Marvel at a high price and make a lot of money.
But now, Harry Potter actually told him that he didn't intend to buy it. Wasn't this cutting Pereman's throat?
However, Pereman was still a sly old fox. He felt that Harry Potter had worked so hard for so long, so it was impossible for him to give up so easily. There must be a problem. Maybe he was deceiving him.
So Pereman smiled and said, "Mr. Potter, if you want to play hard to get with me, then I advise you to give up. I won't buy it. If you don't want to buy it, you can leave now. I won't sell Marvel without 50 million USD!"
Well, the 80 million USD just now had become 50 million USD now.
"I don't have to lie to you, Mr. Pereman. It's because our foundation has found a better acquisition target!" Harry Potter smiled slightly and said, "We have reached an agreement with Hua Xia Daqian Group, which owns the copyright of Pokemon. We are ready to buy 10% of the shares of the Rocket game production company at the price of 100 million USD. Our foundation's board of directors is very optimistic about this acquisition, so we have to concentrate our funds on Rocket. Marvel can't be held back anymore!"
Harry Potter smiled like Harry Potter.
