Chapter 83 Beauty Tax
"Mr. Wang, I think those in the entertainment industry are just trying to make money and do beauty gimmicks, so they all rejected it. Do you think this is appropriate?"
After all, Wen Yu is also a company CEO, and he is not very young, so he is definitely young and promising, but standing in front of Wang Yi's desk at this time, he looks quite humble.
This made Wang Yi take another look at him.
Maybe Wen Yu also borrowed the first start-up capital from his family, but since he can build such a media company by himself, he does have his own abilities.
Being able to completely reject all connections in the entertainment industry and then find two giants in the mobile phone manufacturing industry is a very accurate vision.
In fact, Wang Yi originally wanted to cooperate with mobile phone manufacturers for the beauty software.
It can be said that this is the explosive period of smartphones, and the number of potential customers and sales is absolutely mind-boggling.
If beauty software is pre-built into mobile phone cameras and becomes a function, this is something that mobile phone manufacturers will definitely not be able to refuse.
Apart from anything else, competing products have this function, but you don’t. Which one will a beauty-loving girl choose?
They all voted with their feet!
Once a manufacturer uses it and pays the 'beauty tax' to Wang Yi, all manufacturers will be rolled back!
Wen Yu can think of this and reluctantly gave up his previous relationship to do so, which shows his ability.
Wang Yi can see that after discovering this thing, the mobile phone manufacturer will certainly pay attention to it.
Only at the beginning, they thought this should be a post-processing software, but the post-processing was more in place.
But now that I know that Temo is a synchronized beauty software, I can't calm down at all.
Hanwei and Wheat are the two most representative companies!
Xiaomai Wanfan’s economy and cost-effectiveness have a group of loyal users in China, and it is indeed unique in terms of the cost-effectiveness of mobile phone configurations.
Although this price-performance ratio also sacrifices functions such as heat dissipation and stability, it still has a unique gimmick.
Not to mention the relatively low-key Hanwei. For a typical technology company, mobile phones are only part of the business. They also have corresponding internal software departments and have optimized the Android system accordingly.
With a powerful software department, they also understood the horror of this software for the first time.
Can they design beautification software themselves?
It really works!
But the quality is definitely that of being beaten violently and having no power to fight back.
God knows how excited they were when they found out that this thing was just a beauty app.
Although it looks like a small piece of software, this definitely shows the other party's terrifying research and development capabilities.
So Hanwei directly led a team here, which made the deputy director of the marketing department led by Xiaomai a little confused.
However, Wang Yi's company is really a small company, and there are a lot of legal people on both sides. In the end, Wang Yi also said that it would be simpler and just bring two people to the office for a casual chat. His small company does not have such a big show.
"I know their intentions, and I won't make any quotations for each of them. For all mobile phone manufacturing companies that need to embed our software, we need 0.1% of the price of the whole machine as a licensing fee, with a minimum of one yuan."
< br>
Wang Yi's asking price is actually not very high, but the pure software itself is indeed not suitable for too high a price. Moreover, the implantation of the beauty software this time also has another more important purpose.
But even if the quotation is not high, this kind of long-term commission method still makes the money manager of Wheat talk again and again
"Here, is Mr. Wang's asking price too high? There is already a team working on beauty software. Can you ensure that your advantage can always be maintained? Why don't we negotiate a fixed price for the use rights? Just use it How about our sales this year? If we can sign some exclusive agreements, the price can be higher than the commission.”
This is Wang Yi’s reputation as a great mathematician, plus the blessing brought by his recent rejection of Microsoft’s $400 million!
Otherwise, if you say this when the software just comes out, it will definitely make people laugh.
Now, Wang Yi has the confidence to speak like this.
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to sign it if you don't need it, for example, if you find a better one."
Wang Yi behaved quite generous and reasonable.
Although beauty software is not a chip, it is not irreplaceable, and it is not a bottleneck, but it definitely has a qualitative impact on sales!
Moreover, this kind of tax itself may not be too high in total because of the low proportion, but its significance is quite significant.
"This means that if you two are domestic brands, I will ask for 0.2% of the price for foreign manufacturers."
Love or not, this is Wang Yi's attitude.
"We sign in Hanwei!"
Compared to Minister Qian's fuss over there, Mr. Zheng seemed quite generous and agreed directly.
This immediately made Qian Zong, who had wanted to say something else, show a bitter look on his face.
Please, don’t you do business without counter-offering? Is there any mistake?
"We would also like to have the opportunity to have more in-depth cooperation with your company in the future."
"If there is, of course no problem."
Wang Yi knew Hanwei's own research and development capabilities, and it was normal for them to see the potential of this software. The fact that a vice president came in person explained the problem.
"I, I need to report."
It was now beyond Minister Qian's authority, but Hanwei had already agreed, and he had to ask for permission.
You must know that this is not a one-stop buyout, but a steady stream of blood draws.
The Qualcomm tax has already been sucked in, but now I want to get a beauty software too.
Well, if there is a competing product, it really must be there. After all, he is the deputy director of the marketing department, so he still has this vision.
It would be fine if everyone could resist together, but if someone surrenders, there will be nothing but an avalanche.
In the end, Wheat's side also reluctantly agreed to the offer. Now, only the two of them have come forward. They also want to finalize the deal quickly and complete a software implant as soon as possible!
Be the first to ship out a batch of goods!
After seeing the situation of these two companies, other mobile phone manufacturers will definitely not be able to sit still and roll up.
……
0.1% of the whole machine price is not a profit.
Looking at a thousand-dollar mobile phone, I only paid one dollar, but I couldn't stand it, now is the outbreak period.
Hanwei's mobile phone sales exceeded 50 million units this year, and wheat sales were close to 20 million units, and it is obvious that the number will be even greater next year.
This is why Wheat began to use this year's sales volume as a fixed measure. They can all see the sales figures in the future outbreak period.
Of course, the beauty program is different from Qualcomm’s dense 3G and 4G patent fees, and can be cracked and ‘learned’.
However, if the mobile phone manufacturer is doing something shady, it actually doesn't matter to Wang Yi. Lin Shiqin laughs and laughs every day, but there are too many bad ideas. If you eat what I have, you will definitely have to pay it back in other ways.
The main purpose of this beauty procedure implantation was not originally for money...
……
On the Internet today, there is a lot of discussion about "Minecraft" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
Needless to say, "Minecraft" has just been released for a month and is at its peak and hottest time.
There are endless funny videos of various players, with all kinds of tricks.
It can be said that the cube people have slaughtered various game forums.
"I never thought that one day I would be able to play Cube Man..."
Jiang Bo was addicted to "Minecraft" and couldn't help himself. He originally thought that the people he liked were all pretty girls, but why was he so enthusiastic about playing with cubes?
After making an appointment with a few friends and starting a new connection, he suddenly heard his friends’ exclamations in the headset
"Wow, Mai and Hanwei are starting to get back together. Oh my god, my Xiaowenjiang, Meiyuejiang, how could..."
Jiang Bo, who was originally addicted to games, couldn't help but be stunned. This was the lover of his dreams, so he couldn't help but pay attention!
During this period of time, many models from Yuzhong can be said to have been bloodbathed in small and broken stations, just like locusts passing by without any grass growing.
There is also a group of loyal fans.
The people they connected with this time were friends who originally liked the second dimension, and their hobbies were almost the same.
"What's wrong? What does it have to do with Hanwei and wheat?"
Jiang Bo asked quickly, and then saw the link sent by his friend. After clicking on it, he saw the press conference held by Hanwei and Xiaomai on almost the same day.
In addition, several model UP owners from Yuzhong have also begun to promote the new systems of these two companies.
After Wen Yu was busy, he would definitely be able to drink the soup.
How can we quickly maximize the value of this beauty software?
Of course, it’s the first batch of users’ testimonials!
The advertising fee this time can be said to have exceeded Yuzhong's total annual income in the past, which made Wenyu understand that he had chosen the right direction.
How can the entertainment industry compare with the technology industry?
The dimensionality reduction attack developed by someone has already had such a terrifying effect...

First update~
Thank you for your concern. Everything is normal. My mother can get out of bed on her own, but she can't eat yet. She should be discharged from the hospital within a week. I just received a notice that it will be released this Friday. Fortunately, I have some manuscripts saved. With the notebook, it will not have any impact for the time being. Don’t worry about updates, there will be outbreaks~
