"Is that so? The retention rate of VCD players in all of Fusang's households has reached 4%? What an amazing guy. These historical heroes, no matter where they are, are indeed incomparably valiant figures!" Boss Jia looked at the latest report and tapped the table lightly.
This report was Daqian Entertainment's work report. It was the result of Ma Huateng's work in the past month.
Boss Jia had to admit that Ma Huateng was really outstanding. He was so outstanding that even Boss Jia himself was a little scared of him.
In the past month, Boss Jia had basically been fooling around in Fusang. Although he unknowingly started two more companies, it didn't change the fact that Boss Jia came to Fusang for a vacation.
The one who really worked hard was our classmate Ma Huateng. And Ma Huateng did indeed bring out a very dazzling result. In 50 days, he increased the number of Fusang's VCD players from less than 3000 to 1 million, which stood at 4% of Fusang's VCD players.
If it wasn't for the fact that China's VCD player production had reached the upper limit, and the new batch of VCD players was still in the process of shipping, it was possible for Ma Huateng's VCD player to reach 5%.
Ma Huateng accomplished all these feats in 50 days. Boss Jia couldn't help but sigh. Ma Huateng was like a nuclear weapon. He could bomb the world no matter where he went.
Of course, Ma Huateng's success didn't come without a price. The price was that in 50 days, Boss Jia used up all the 1 billion Yen that he had given him, and now he had to borrow 5 billion Yen from the Fusang's bank.
Other than that, he still owed Daqian Entertainment a total of 4 billion RMB.
Yes, that's right. Ma Huateng signed a contract with Daqian Entertainment for a total of 4 billion RMB, which was equivalent to 800 million USD.
To be exact, Daqian Entertainment had given him 4 billion RMB, and the cost price was 4,000 RMB per unit. A total of 1 million units of Daqian VCD players had not been paid yet. All of them were owed to Feng Yu.
Logically speaking, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was wearing the Daqian brand and that Boss Jia was in Fusang and didn't raise any objections, even vaguely supporting Ma Huateng, the higher-ups of Daqian Entertainment would have collectively charged to Fusang to collect debts from Ma Huateng.
This was 4 billion yuan worth of goods, which was enough to make the Daqian Group's capital chain extremely tight. In fact, Boss Jia glanced at the company's financial report. The huge Daqian Group had now entered a state of financial stress, with less than 200 million yuan of liquid capital left on the books. This was undoubtedly a huge crisis for the Daqian Group, which used to have more than 1 billion yuan of liquid capital all year round.
If there was an emergency and the 200 million yuan was not enough, then the Daqian Group might not even be able to pay the workers' salaries and collapse.
Of course, this was based on the premise that Boss Jia didn't withdraw funds from Daqian's overseas market, nor did he sell houses from Baidu Real Estate to repay the debt.
As for our Fusang Daqian Entertainment, Mr. Ma Huateng had his own reasons for not paying the 4 billion RMB debt. It wasn't because Mr. Ma Huateng embezzled public funds, but because he gave away his VCD players for free.
Yes, that's right. Mr. Ma Huateng's VCD players were given away for free to all consumers in Fusang. They didn't have to pay a single cent, and they were given 19 VCD players every month. Otherwise, how could he, Ma Huateng, who was unfamiliar with Fusang, occupy 4% of the households in the country within 50 days and eliminate all the VCRs in their homes?
This was the free method that Mr. Ma Huateng was most familiar with.
In short, in Ma Huateng's eyes, everything was free.
The specific operation process went like this. On the third day after Boss Jia brought Ma Huateng to Fusang, Boss Jia, who got up from Xia Qiu Shiyu's body, received Ma Huateng's request to meet.
When the two of them met, Ma Huateng, with red eyes, handed over a somewhat crude plan that was full of typos. It was obviously handwritten overnight.
"Give it all away for free … I'm worth 6666 yuan, the cost price is 4000 yuan, and the raw material cost is 3100 yuan. You actually plan to give it all away for free to all Fusang households!!" Looking at the sales plan that Ma Huateng finally came up with, Boss Jia's eyes widened. Even in his previous life, he had never seen such a crazy marketing plan!
"Boss, to be precise, this is a marketing plan that is paid in installments!" Ma Huateng said with red eyes, "Actually, this is also an idea that I got from Brother Leng Xuxin. Back then, Brother Leng Xuxin also gave the VCD to those households for free to experience. After a week, he came to collect it. On average, half of the people would pay for it. This is the proof of the feasibility of this plan! "
"My plan is just an improvement on this plan!" Ma Huateng looked at Jia Yapeng and said.
"You're not just an improvement, you're practically reborn!" Boss Jia sighed. Compared to Leng Xuxin's plan, Ma Huateng's plan was simply the craziest plan in the world.
"First of all, Ma Huateng's publicity to the outside world is that the VCD will be given away for free without spending a single cent. The world's most advanced VCD will be taken home directly!" Although there were a lot of publicity and practical things in the world that were as beautiful as flowers.
However, no matter how ugly a flower was, she was still a woman.
No matter how crazy the publicity was, there had to be something that matched the publicity point.
Ma Huateng's actual sales strategy could indeed be considered as free. At the very least, when the consumer took the VCD home, other than the 2000 yen membership fee, they didn't have to spend a single cent. They could take the VCD home directly.
"Boss, please believe me. This is the only plan that can allow us to break the monopoly of video recorders and let our VCD occupy the entire Fusang!" Ma Huateng said loudly.
"Alright! The person who will approve your plan is definitely a super lunatic! "Boss Jia said with red eyes. Then, he signed his name on the document.

"What? 300,000 yen worth of advanced technology VCD will be given away for free! " Koizumi Jiro was an employee of a small company nearby. He only had a high school education. His life in Tokyo was not smooth sailing.
At this time, the economic crisis had begun. The living standards of all Fusang people were plummeting. Everyone was living a tight life. They didn't have much to spend, and they didn't dare to spend a lot. The whole world seemed to be in a state of depression.
However, when these people saw that the goods worth 300,000 yen were given for free, they naturally became excited. He ran to the promotional booth to take a look and found that it was already crowded with all kinds of people. He could only see the information written on the bulletin board through the gaps in the crowd.
【
Great news!
300,000 yen worth of advanced technology Daqian VCD will be given away for free.
As long as you have a job, your local household registration, and your local property, you can receive a free Daqian VCD and take it home. You can enjoy a life that transcends generations!
】
"Is this for real?" When Koizumi Jiro saw the words written on the bulletin board, he couldn't help but be curious about what the VCD player was.
Then, he squeezed his way to a nearby display stand. A staff member was demonstrating how to use the VCD player. All he needed to do was insert a very high-tech disc into the VCD player, and the video would be broadcasted.
Whether it was the video or the sound effects, they were far better than video recorders. It could indeed be called a next-generation product.
But is such an advanced product really free?
