"Manager Jia, you mean …" Ma Huateng looked at his boss in confusion.
"It's simple. Since you have named this place as a supermarket, why don't you make it a real supermarket? We will be a platform seller, not a manufacturer!" Boss Jia knocked on the table.
"We don't need to spend money to buy the copyrights from the cultural companies. You can't buy all of them, and even if you buy all of them, you might not be able to make money. Also, with our VCD players selling like hotcakes, do you think those cultural companies will not see the future of electronic copyrights? Compared to last year, the price of electronic copyrights had increased by more than 3 times. Now is the best time to spend money to buy the copyrights! "
Boss Jia said this with deep feelings. This was because Boss Jia could feel the change in the price of electronic copyrights.
Boss Jia had spent a lot of money to buy the electronic copyrights from all over the world since 1992. At that time, there was no such thing as electronic cultural products. That's why the electronic copyrights of cultural products were so cheap.
In Fusang, 10,000 yen was enough to buy the electronic copyrights of an 80-episode old TV series. Boss Jia had spent 300 million USD to buy 30% of the cultural products' copyrights from before 1992.
But now, with the appearance of VCD players and the popularity of the internet, there was not a single video website. After all, the internet speed could not handle the traffic of video websites. But there were some photo websites.
More and more people started to realize the value of electronic copyrights. Daqian Entertainment's cost to buy the copyrights had increased a lot. The price of the same thing had increased by 3 times in a year, and it seems the price will continue to rise.
Even with the Daqian Entertainment's dowry, they could not afford to spend so much money. That's why Daqian Entertainment was still buying copyrights, but they had started to focus on quality products.
That means they were only buying the copyrights of some classic movies and TV series. They had given up on the electronic copyrights of cultural products.
That's why Boss Jia did not support Ma Huateng's strategy of buying copyrights on a large scale. Boss Jia had realized it was time to change his mindset.
However, Ma Huateng didn't have time to process this thought, so he didn't understand what Boss Jia meant.
"What I mean is very simple. From today onwards, the sales staff of Fusang Daqian Entertainment will start negotiating with cultural enterprises all over the country. However, we are not going to discuss the acquisition of copyrights. Instead, we are going to invite them to bring their cultural products to our Guangying Supermarket for sale!"
"The whole process is actually very simple. First, we can create 100 VCD players for all the cultural products of the enterprises. Then, we can put these 100 VCD players in our Guangying Supermarket for sale."
"All the profits generated from the purchase and rental of these discs, after deducting the costs, will be split evenly between us and these cultural companies."
"Now that these cultural companies have tasted the sweetness of having an extra income for no reason, they will naturally be eager to continue working with us. At this time, we will be able to raise our conditions!"
"Then, we will start signing the contract and officially start the business cooperation. We will burn the VCD players for them at the price of 50 yen per disc. The 50 yen cost will be borne by us, and the companies will not have to pay!"
"However, once these cultural products are sold, the 50 yen cost of each disc must be deducted first. Only then can the remaining profits be shared with these cultural companies."
"This way, the cultural companies will be able to earn money without spending a single cent. They will be very happy to cooperate with us! On the other hand, the cost of producing the discs can also be transferred to these cultural companies! "
"Although some cultural companies' products might not be popular, and they won't be able to earn back the cost of burning the discs. However, I believe that most of the discs are deliberately making money. After all, these discs only need to be burned once. If they don't sell well, they won't need to burn the discs again in the future, and there won't be any more costs! "
"So, in short, we will be able to earn back all the cost of the discs. At the same time, most of the cultural companies will definitely be able to get a share of the profits."
"As long as there are people who have tasted the benefits first, we don't need to talk to these cultural companies anymore. The rest of the cultural companies will take the initiative to look for us and ask us to sell their discs in the supermarket."
"At that time, we can directly throw the cost of the discs to them and ask them to pay us 50 yen per disc before we sell the discs to them. This way, we can completely throw the cost of the discs to them, and we can earn 25 yen per disc."
"In this way, it will form a siphon effect. The more resources we have in our supermarkets, the higher the desire of the audience to buy the discs. And the higher the quality of the audience's sales of the discs, the more cultural enterprises will be attracted to the shelves of our supermarkets!"
"Finally, and also the most important step, when our cultural siphon effect is activated, you will immediately sign a supplementary contract with all the cultural companies. That is, all the products sold in our supermarkets are not allowed to sell the same electronic products on other platforms. Otherwise, it will be a serious breach of contract. Not only will we ban their discs, but we will also ask them for a huge amount of compensation!"
"In this way, we don't have to spend a single cent to firmly control all the cultural electronic products in our hands. What's the difference between this and controlling all the copyrights? Hahaha! "Boss Jia couldn't help but laugh when he said this.
"Wonderful! This is simply wonderful!! " After listening to Boss Jia's words, Ma Huateng couldn't help but exclaim. At the same time, he admired our Boss Jia from the bottom of his heart.
How on earth did Boss Jia come up with such a sinister, vicious, and deceitful scheme? This person was too terrifying. He was many times more shameless than himself!
Ma Huateng thought in his heart with both admiration and fear.
"Alright, you don't have to flatter me like this. This idea wasn't thought of by me, but by someone else!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Who!" Ma Huateng immediately asked, "Oh my god, is there anyone more sinister, vicious, and deceitful than Boss Jia?"
"You can guess. You are very familiar with this person!" Boss Jia said with narrowed eyes. However, Ma Huateng thought for a long time and still couldn't figure out which bastard came up with such a good idea.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Come out and meet your good brother. It's time for the two of you to fight side by side!" Boss Jia said with a smile towards the back of the office. Then, a small door opened. At the same time, a bald person walked out proudly.
"Ma Yun! It's you!! "Ma Huateng looked at this person and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Didn't you shamelessly ask me to come and help you? I'm here now! " Ma Yun said snappily. "This idea is my gift to you. How is it? Is it good enough for you?"
"Great, you're too handsome. How come I didn't know that such a kind-hearted guy like you had such a belly full of evil tricks!" Ma Huateng grinned and said. Ma Yun suddenly had the impulse to hit someone.
"Hahahaha!" Boss Jia saw this and couldn't help but laugh wildly. "You two are good brothers. Don't mess around. From today onwards, Ma Yun is the vice president of Fusang Daqian Entertainment. You two have to work together to develop our Daqian Entertainment. When the time comes, you will be our Daqian heroes. I will give you everything you want! "
