Chapter 755: That’s an ally, so we need to pay more!
The publicity routine of stargazing, coupled with the effect of hunger marketing, detonated the market in America.
The current popularity of stargazing in America is actually somewhat beyond Li Dongling’s expectations. Compared with the same type of products in his previous life, stargazing is now much more popular.
“In terms of production capacity, Donglin Hi-Tech Production Department is constantly setting up new production lines, plus looking for new parts manufacturers and new foundry companies.
It is expected to continue In two months, the production capacity of stargazing can be greatly increased. This year, the sales volume of stargazing video recorders is expected to reach one million units!”
Li Dongling said that the annual production capacity can reach one million units. To be honest, Duan Youli has already tried his best.
Previously, the maximum annual output of stargazers prepared by Donglin Hi-Tech Production Department was 400,000 units. Now we are constantly setting up new production lines and finding foundries to increase the production capacity to one million units per year. It is no exaggeration to say that Duan Youli is a supply chain master.
But this output is really not enough for Microsoft.
“The annual output of one million units is still too low!”
Ed Fleiss shook his head and said, “These machines are not even enough for America, let alone Speaking of the next step, Stargazing needs to start trying to promote it in markets such as old Europe and Canada!”
"Li, to be honest, if the stargazing brand is operated by Microsoft, Microsoft can find more manufacturers for it to increase its production capacity..."
Ed Fleiss seems to be "Inadvertently", he said something to Li Dongling.
After Li Dongling heard this, he glanced at Ed Fleiss with a half-smile, which made Ed Fleiss blush, knowing that Li Dongling had seen through his mind.
What does it mean to hand over the stargazing brand to Microsoft for operation? Isn’t that the acquisition of the stargazing video recorder business by Microsoft?
As for whether Microsoft can manage the stargazing brand well after acquiring the stargazing brand, only the devil knows. Anyway, in the previous life, Microsoft was in the hardware industry, except burning money to grab the market for the Xbox console. There hasn't been any waves for decades.
If it were not for Tanglin Hi-Tech and Microsoft operating the stargazing video recorder alone this time, no one can guess what would have turned out!
Picking up the coffee and taking a sip, Ed Fleiss simply made it clear to Li Dongling directly.
"When I come this time, I do have some other tasks assigned by the Microsoft board of directors. Li, are the promises you made at the beginning still valid?" Ed Fleiss stared closely at Li Dongling's face. Eyes said.
“Of course!”
Li Dongling knew what Ed Fleiss was asking and gave an affirmative answer.
Previously, before Stargazing went on sale, Li Dongling once said that after it is released, if Microsoft wants it, the video recorder project can be sold to Microsoft to show the sincerity of cooperation between the two parties.
At the beginning, Microsoft may have just regarded this as a joke, but with the current popularity of stargazing, Microsoft only prays that Li Dongling was not joking when he said this!
Hearing Li Dongling’s affirmative answer, Ed Fleiss couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. This sentence was enough for him to go back and report to Microsoft.
"However, if Microsoft wants to acquire the stargazing video recorder project, how much chips is it willing to pay?"
Li Dongling asked Ed Fleiss "kindly".
But this made Ed Fleiss a little embarrassed. With the current momentum of stargazing, he wanted to buy a stargazing video recorder project at a bargain price, without even thinking about it.
Looking up at Li Dongling, Ed Fleiss said, "This matter needs to be decided by the Microsoft board of directors. I don't know Li, how much do you think stargazing is worth?"
Hearing Ai De Vries counterattacked an army, Li Dongling laughed, and then said slowly, "Microsoft should know the value of stargazing better than Tanglin Hi-Tech!"
"I think we should ask a professional investment institution to conduct an overall assessment of the stargazing video recorder project before making a decision!"
Li Dongling pursed the corners of his slightly dry mouth and said to Ed.
If Tanglin High-tech directly sets the price, it will look too ugly once the lion opens its mouth, and it will also affect the relationship between Tanglin High-tech and Microsoft.
But please invite investment institutions to come in and shout out the price through the mouths of investment institutions. That is, investment institutions are asking for prices, but they have nothing to do with Tanglin Hi-Tech. Donglin Hi-Tech does not want to kill Microsoft. !
Ed Fleiss also thought about this, and his expression changed slightly. From what Li Dongling said, he could have a premonition that Dongling Hi-Tech's asking price for stargazing was probably not a high price. Small amount!
"Then Microsoft and Tanglin Hi-Tech will each hire an organization to evaluate the stargazing project!"
"Three!"
Li Dongling added, "In addition to hiring an investment institution from each of the two companies, we also need to hire another investment institution to conduct an independent evaluation of the stargazing to ensure a fair transaction."
Ed Fleiss Nodding, "I will report it to Bill." President Gates, "However, I hope this deal can be completed this year." He is also afraid of long nights and dreams. If it is delayed until next year, the second-generation video recorder of Stargazing continues to sell well, and the shipment volume and revenue will be higher. If you want to acquire it, the price you pay will be even greater!
Li Dongling knew very well what Ed Fleiss was thinking, but he still nodded with a smile and extended his hand to him.
Microsoft wants to buy a stargazing video recorder, and Li Dongling certainly agrees. However, if Microsoft wants to take away an industry-leading brand, what price will it have to pay?
This time, Li Dongling had to use stargazing to collect the tax on stargazing from Microsoft after a hundred years!
When he walked out of Li Dongling's office, although he had gotten the answer he wanted, Ed Fleiss was not as happy as expected.
He didn't know what price Microsoft had to pay for R&D and buying a stargazing video recorder, but seeing Li Dongling's smile just now made him feel a little uneasy. That's what a hunter would do when he sees his prey. eyes!
After Ed Fleiss left, Ren Yuefeng came to Li Dongling’s office and handed a document to Li Dongling, “The Shenzhou Computer launch conference is scheduled for this Saturday, and it will be held in Dongling at that time. Ling Hi-Tech Electronics Industrial Park Held in the conference building!"
While Li Dongling was looking through the documents, Ren Yuefeng asked Li Dongling casually, "I just saw that Ed Fleiss's expression seemed a little bad! ”
Li Dongling raised his eyes from the document and looked at Ren Yuefeng, the general manager of Dongling High-tech. There were some things that needed to be explained to him in advance.
"Before the end of this year, I plan to sell the video recorder project to Microsoft!"
"What?"
When hearing this, Ren Yuefeng was obviously stunned. For a moment, I wondered if I heard it wrong, so I couldn't help but ask Li Dongling again.
Stargazing video recorders are now very popular in America. They have a vague appearance of being a "domestic product" and can earn a lot of foreign exchange. But now they want to sell it. How can Ren Yuefeng not let it go? I wonder if my ears heard it wrong.

"Sell the stargazing video recorder to Microsoft this year!" Li Dongling said to Ren Yuefeng again.
This time Ren Yuefeng heard it clearly, but his expression became more and more ugly. He knew that what Li Dongling decided was basically unchangeable within Dongling Hi-Tech.
But Ren Yuefeng couldn't help but said, "Isn't this matter too hasty? Now Binh Duong City Government, Han Tay Provincial Government, Economic and Trade Commission, Foreign Exchange Department and other departments all attach great importance to stargazing. Project!”
Domestic media, especially the official media, are still hyping up stargazing. Tanglin Hi-Tech turned around and sold the stargazing video recorder. Ren Yuefeng couldn’t imagine that. How stressful it would be.
"Selling the brand and equity of the stargazing video recorder can still keep the production location in China. Tanglin Hi-Tech and parts suppliers can still earn US dollars in foreign exchange!"
Selling the controlling stake does not mean This means that Tanglin High-tech has nothing to do with stargazing video recorders. Microsoft bought the controlling stake in the video recorders, but they have to find a manufacturer.
“This is different!”
Ren Yuefeng shook his head and said with a serious expression, “The media, reporters and domestic public opinion will not care about this. They only saw that Dongling Gaoke sold the stargazing video recorder brand!”< br>
Once Tanglin Hi-tech sells the stargazing video recorder, interested people can completely muddy the waters through media reports that Tanglin Hi-tech has sold a domestic brand. At that time, Tanglin Hi-tech will face There was overwhelming public pressure.
Li Dongling put down the document in his hand. He knew what Ren Yuefeng was worried about, but he still said, "The stargazing brand can be given to Microsoft in a licensing model. Microsoft can only use the stargazing brand on video recorders.
The stargazing brand and video recorder production line will be retained in China, but the video recorder project must be sold! "< br>
“Flowers are not as red as a hundred days, and people are not as good as a thousand days. I want a stargazing video recorder. When I was at Tangling Hi-tech, it was a flower that was as gorgeous as a summer flower in midsummer. I don’t want to see it in winter. Wither! "
Regarding Ren Yuefeng, Li Dongling almost made it clear. When he heard Li Dongling's words, Ren Yuefeng's expression suddenly changed several times.
Because he also heard the same words from Li Dongling a few years ago. At that time, he and the executives of Dongling Hi-Tech did not understand it. The public opinion was also outraged, but Li Dongling still had no hesitation. I sold my original product, which was called...an electronic pet machine!
If you want to ask who suffered the most misfortune from the electronic pet machine, then you have to ask, Niben Bandai who was forced to sell his body. It has the most say.
Now that he heard this again, Ren Yuefeng naturally thought of the electronic pet machine immediately. This incident left a deep impression on him. He didn’t know if Dongling Hi-Tech had not sold the electronic pet machine in time. Will pet machines suffer the same fate as Nippon Bandai?
"Mr. Li, do you think the stargazing video will encounter the same situation as the electronic pet machine back then?" Ren Yuefeng asked, his expression changing a bit.
“No!”
“There is a market for TV recorders, and it’s not like the entire market will suddenly collapse within a year or two. But the person who replaces an industry leader is often not a peer. companies, but a blow from cross-industry companies! ”
Li Dongling said to Ren Yuefeng that he was the chief steward of Dongling Hi-tech and there were some things that he had to understand.
“In the Internet era, all operating modes may change!”
