Chapter 615 Earn money
Today is the day when members of Taishan Industrial Research Association gather, but the atmosphere is a bit depressing. In fact, the atmosphere of Taishan Industrial Research Association in recent gatherings is far less than before.
In the final analysis, the big brothers of Taishan Industrial Research Association, especially Lianxiang and Sitong, are having a difficult time.
Every time we met, Taishan Industrial Research Association was a little frustrated when we met Tanglin Hi-Tech. Who would have thought that the old news from a few years ago would be dug out again.
Bandai, which was obviously hopeless in the eyes of the outside world, suddenly turned around and started harvesting US dollars like it was taking crazy medicine.
At that time, Boss Liu, in front of many confidants within Lianxiang, commented on Dongling Hi-Tech's investment, saying that he was not doing his job properly and thought that Dongling Hi-Tech was just messing around.
But now, the acquisition that Boss Liu thought was not doing business properly has brought huge returns to Dongling Hi-tech. Not only the value of the invested equity has tripled, but the Bandai equity bought for 300 million US dollars now has a market value of more than A billion dollars!
And based on the current revenue of Bandai, it is very likely that the annual dividends to Donglin Hi-Tech will exceed tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars. This is all profits!
As long as Bandai is still making money, it must pay dividends to Donglin Hi-tech. How many companies in China can make hundreds of millions of dollars in net profit in a year? If you make an overseas acquisition, you may get dividends.
There are even rumors that Bandai may split up Bubble Mart and list it separately in the future. If Bubble Mart is also listed, Tanglin Hi-Tech will have another listed company, or Those that are marketed overseas are all foreign leeks.
"Kit Kat is just a dirty trick. A blind cat meets a dead mouse. What you get by luck will not last long!"
Every time he saw the news about Dongling Hi-Tech, Boss Liu felt a little aggrieved and turned the newspaper in his hand. , slammed on the table.
That's what he said, but in Boss Liu's mind, the idea he had a few years ago was spreading and growing in his mind like weeds.
Dongli Hi-tech can make a lot of money by acquiring companies overseas, but do you even think about acquiring them?
In recent years, mergers and acquisitions have continued to occur in the world's computer industry. It is rumored that the old computer manufacturer DEC may be acquired by Compaq. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the global computer industry is undergoing a major reshuffle.
Boss Liu also has ambitions. He even wonders if he can acquire those overseas giants and become a world-class computer giant.
It’s just this ambition that Boss Liu doesn’t dare to say out loud yet, but the news of Donglin Hi-Tech’s acquisition of Bandai really stimulated him.
"Old Duan, I heard that something happened at Sitong?" Boss Liu asked Duan Yongji, the head of Sitong.
Everyone present today is a member of the Taishan Industrial Research Association. They are all blood-blooded allies and members of his own family. Duan Yongji has nothing to hide.
“The four links are a little uneven!”
"It's still the same old problem. I don't have Sitong's equity. Now that the stock price has dropped, some people have jumped out to make trouble. It's mainly because of Lingyun Technology created by Wang Jizhi!"
Duan Yongji When he mentioned Wang Jizhi, his former partner, his expression was very ugly. He really didn't expect that Wang Jizhi would one day come back.
The current market value of Stone Group is not low, 3.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, almost 400 million US dollars, but the stock price continues to fall, which shows that Hong Kong City and overseas investment institutions are not very optimistic about Stone Group. future.
It seems that Stone Group is still making money, and it is making a lot of money. The sales of typewriters are booming, and the sales of the Compaq computers it represents are also decent, especially the workstation computers, which are selling very well. It has been purchased by many domestic scientific research institutions and universities, and Sitong has also introduced a large number of foreign-funded companies.
We cooperated with Panasonic to establish a lighting appliance company, cooperated with Mitsubishi to develop a circuit integration company, and cooperated with America TRW to establish a system integration company. These foreign-funded companies were all brought in by Sitong.
These things make Stone Group look like it is still the largest technology giant company in China, but it is not favored by the outside world.
Because the real money-making business of Sitong now is the typewriter business during Wang Jizhi's period.
Whether it is developing cash registers, trying to develop printers, or introducing foreign capital, there is no return yet, and Sitong cannot guarantee when there will be return.
But it is a general trend that typewriters will be replaced by computers and printers. This is not a possibility, but something that has already happened abroad!
In China, the reason why typewriters are still being sold is for no other reason than that typewriters are cheap, and in the fourth and fifth tier cities in China, there are counties, villages and towns and other areas with poor economic conditions that have no money to buy computers and printer, so a typewriter is also needed.
This can be seen from the fact that the main users of Sitong typewriters have changed from users in big cities such as Yanjing to users in some small cities and counties.
Although Sitong's revenue can still be maintained, profits cannot be hidden from others. When selling things in small cities, the price cannot be high, otherwise they will not be sold. This leads to Sitong's Profits are constantly decreasing.
Hearing Duan Yongji mention Wang Jizhi and Lingyun Technology, Boss Liu was also a little silent, because on Yanjing Street, there are more and more stores with Lingyun chain printing brands visible to the naked eye!
Every time Lingyun Printing Store is added, there will be one less typewriter customer for Sitong. This is digging into Sitong's foundation. Moreover, Duan Yongji heard the news that at Lingyun Technology, Wang Jizhi was still personally leading a research and development project. He didn't know the specific project, but he could make a blind guess. In addition to projects related to printers, What else could there be?
Sitong is also developing a printer project, but is a little confused about printers. Duan Yongji also knows that printer research and development is the mainstream, but he doesn’t know when the development will be successful. He is not in the technical industry. The big cow.
If it were a few years ago, when Wang Jizhi and other Sitong technology experts were still there, Sitong would not be able to test the waters. However, in recent years, Sitong has suffered a serious brain drain, and its research and development capabilities are almost non-existent. Optional.
And if the research and development is successful, what will happen to the typewriter business? Sitong’s current profits are all earned from typewriters. Does this mean that they can be discarded if they are thrown away? Who would be willing to invest in the typewriter business? Did you sell the old hen that laid the eggs?
This kind of entanglement has led to Sitong’s current method of dealing with Lingyun Technology. It’s... just watch, don’t watch, what else can you do? Is it possible to really spend money? Who can compete with Lingyun Technology? If you develop a printer first, how risky is that?
"Lingyun Technology is also supported by Dongling Hi-Tech!" Boss Liu sighed and said.
Duan Yongji and other members of the Taishan Industry Research Association looked a little unhappy when they heard the name.
Boss Liu looked around and saw the expressions of all the allies, recalling the glory they had when they formed the Taishan Industrial Research Association.
Compared to now, both Lianxiang and Sitong have been defeated by Tanglin Hi-tech one after another, but they have no way to deal with Tanglin Hi-tech.
Before, Taishan Industrial Research Association wanted to suppress Dongling Hi-tech, but now, let alone suppressing it, it is a little difficult to fight against Donglin Hi-tech.
If this continues, Boss Liu doesn’t know how long their alliance can last!
This time, the Taishan Industry Research Conference was a bit anticlimactic. It didn't last long before everyone dispersed. Especially the two big brothers, Boss Liu and Duan Yongji, were very worried. How could they be in the mood to enjoy tea and chat here? Calf.
Just seeing Dongling High-tech making huge profits from Nippon Bandai Company made Boss Liu feel very uncomfortable. As the same saying goes, for the enemy, seeing the enemy making money is better than losing money himself. It’s still uncomfortable, especially when the other party spends hundreds of millions of dollars at a time. The delicacies are really tasteless in your mouth!

"Mr. Li, there are many toy OEMs outside, and they all want to see you!"
"There is also Focus Media. According to the news, many TV stations have approached Focus Media and want to obtain the domestic broadcast rights of Pokémon.”
"There are still many dealers and agents who want to negotiate for the agency rights of Bubble Mart blind boxes!"
Li Dongling's assistant, Su Chicheng, came to Li Dongling's office and reported to Li Dongling.
After the news about Bandai and Bubble Mart spread back to China, especially after hearing that Tanglin Hi-Tech was the major shareholder of Bandai, many smart people went straight to Hanxi. Come, want a piece of the pie.
For those toy OEMs, if they can get orders from Bandai, they can have a prosperous new year.
Various TV stations traded Tanglin Hi-Tech through the relationship of Focus Media. The reason is that Focus Media has cooperated with the TV station on variety shows such as "Super Girl". With this relationship, the relationship between the TV station and Focus Media, Naturally, they are quite close.
Li Dongling, who was processing the document, raised his head after signing his name on it, and handed the document about bonuses to Dongling Hi-Tech employees this year to Su Chicheng.
The Finance Department of Tanglin Hi-Tech will calculate the corresponding dividends, year-end bonuses and other amounts that need to be distributed to senior executives and staff of various departments in accordance with the requirements in the document, and then purchase New Year’s prizes. class stuff.
Although there is still some time before the Chinese New Year, Tanglin Hi-tech currently has a large number of internal employees. The total number of employees in the three Tanglin Hi-tech production bases in Guangpingyang, Yangcheng and Shanghai exceeds 65,000. Thousands of people.
As well as Donglin Hi-tech’s domestic branches, overseas headquarters, offices, etc., it is always impossible to deal with the matter only when it is about to happen. It always needs to be dealt with in advance and the news is released in order to reassure the military and for the year-end bonus. , people are panicked and have no intention of working for Tanglin Hi-Tech, which is not worth the loss.
“Leave the copyright of Pokémon Greater China and the Bubble Mart business to...Focus Media for management.”
Li Dongling thought for a while and said, whether it is Pokémon or Bubble Mart, it is possible to create a company that dominates the industry.
If any domestic company can get the Pokémon copyright, it will probably become a listed company. It will make a profit from the TV station copyright, a profit from licensing, and another profit from peripheral derivatives. It is almost a lie. Make money!
