"Hey, Xu Yi, I've only been away for a month and haven't come back, and you actually made such a wasteful decision again. Are you planning to make me mad to death?" Heinze blushed and asked Xu angrily. He also complained: "Why do you have to sell technology if you are not good at selling anything? Is our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce very short of money now?"
Xu Yi looked at Heinze with a smile. Not only did he not look angry at his scolding, but he felt some inexplicable intimacy.
As Heinze said, last month because Rhea took the child to Kalma City on her own initiative, Heinze simply lost her for a month and did not come back.
However, this time when he came back early, he directly found Xu Yi and complained about his decision at the press conference.
"Who said we are short of money?" Xu Yi smiled and shook his head. "According to Sebastian's statistics, the total profit of our chamber of commerce last month was higher than that of July, reaching an astonishing 480,000 gold coins. In addition, there was nothing special to spend money on last month. How could this happen? Short of money."
"Then tell me, why do you want to sell technology?" Seeing Xu Yi's indifferent expression, Heinze felt the anger rising in his heart. "Even if you sell technology, why do you want to sell all the technology related to the magic hot water kettle?"
"Do you think there would be such a stupid chamber of commerce to come and only buy part of the technology, but after buying it back, they can't even produce a magic hot water kettle?" Xu Yidao.
"No one is that stupid, but this time I think you are stupid!" Heinze said loudly. "Didn't you always tell me before that technology is the foundation of a chamber of commerce, especially for a chamber of commerce like our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that relies on leading technology to make a living? Now you have sold all the technology for the magic hot water kettle. Are you not going to let us produce our own magic hot water kettle?”
"Yes. That's indeed my plan."
Heinze thought that Xu Yi would still make a few excuses. But he didn't expect that he would nod and admit it so directly, and he suddenly choked on his breath.
After taking a few deep breaths, Heinze tried to calm down his excitement and asked Xu Yi seriously: "Tell me honestly, why? I know that no matter what decision you make, you always have your own ideas. But this time I couldn’t figure out what benefit selling technology would have to our new aviation company.”
"What would you think if I told you that this sale of technology was not for the benefit of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?" Xu Yi asked.
"You!" Heinze stared, then immediately forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and glanced at Xu Yi fiercely. "Sooner or later I will be mad at you. Well, even if your decision this time is not for the benefit of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then tell me, what is it for?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Actually, I was joking. This decision will not be of any benefit to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for the time being, but in the long run, it will actually be very beneficial."
"What's the benefit?"
"To put it bluntly, I want to popularize magic machinery faster. That's why I will sell all the magic hot water kettle technology. In this way, those chambers of commerce that buy the technology can truly produce complete magic machines. Here comes the hot water kettle. And this time I also guaranteed that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not produce magic hot water kettles, so they will not have to worry about facing strong competition from our Xinfei brand magic hot water kettle, and they will increase their investment without any scruples. "Xu Yidao.
"If this is the case, we can also promote magic machinery by producing our own magic hot water kettle. Why should we give up all the profits of the magic hot water kettle to others just because we are in a hurry?" Heinze was not so anxious at this time and calmly said Xiang Xu Yi analyzed; "According to my estimation, the magic hot water kettle is used in almost every household because of its low price and high frequency of use. Once launched, the sales volume will be very high. I don't believe what I can estimate. , but you can’t count.”
"Of course I can." Xu Yi nodded. "But Heinze, have you ever calculated the specific profit of a magic kettle?"
Heinze thought for a moment, frowned and replied: "Although it is definitely not as good as the magic air conditioner, magic refrigerator, or even the automatic magic rice cooker, I think the profit should be about the same as that of the magic fan. Even if one unit does not earn one gold coin, the profit I think seven to eighty silver coins is still okay. Plus the sales volume must be high, and the overall profit is still very good.”
Xu Yi slowly shook his head: "No, you are too optimistic. In fact, according to my estimation, the price of the magic hot water kettle is difficult to exceed one gold coin, so no matter how high its profit is, it is difficult to reach seventy or eighty. silver."
Heinze was a little puzzled: "Why can't you set the price a little higher? Anyway, as long as you don't sell the technology, only our chamber of commerce will produce the magic hot water kettle. Even if the price is higher, I think people who should buy it will still buy it. of."
"No, this time is different. In the past, we could set the price at will. It was indeed because we were the only one producing it. But with the example of the Great Chamber of Commerce, the magic hot water kettle was gone as everyone knew about it in advance. The freshness and impact will inevitably affect the price, and you should know very well that in fact, the technical content of the magic hot water kettle is not high. As long as those chambers of commerce who have certain research on magic machinery are willing to make great efforts to research it, they can definitely do it themselves. Research it out.”
"But the magic hot water kettle they produce is definitely not as good as our Xinfei brand. What are you afraid of?" Heinze said unconvinced.
Xu Yi shook his head slightly: "The main reason why our New Flying Magic Machinery is better than the magic machines produced by other chambers of commerce is its outstanding industrial design. This time, the industrial design features of the magic hot water kettle have actually been known to everyone for a long time. Then we won’t have the unique leading advantage we had before, so in fact we won’t be much better than the magic kettles made by other chambers of commerce.”
Hearing Xu Yi's answer, Heinze couldn't help but glared at Xu Yi again: "If you hadn't told these secrets one by one at that press conference, how could others know about our unique secrets? industrial design?"
Xu Yi grinned: "What if I told you that I did it on purpose?"
Heinze was startled: "Have you already prepared to sell the magic hot water kettle technology?"
"Of course, otherwise you think I didn't choose anything, but let Evita pick out part of the magic hot water kettle technology and let Rem steal it?"
Heinze couldn't help but look Xu Yi up and down, and sighed: "Xu Yi, I suddenly realized that you are such an insidious guy."
"Thank you for the compliment." Xu Yi smiled and continued: "So, even if I don't sell the technology of the magic hot water kettle, it actually won't be of much significance to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the profits we can make by keeping it in our hands will not be very big." There will be so many, I might as well sell them.”
Heinze glanced at Xu Yi and said, "You didn't ask for this. If you had dealt with it immediately when you found out there was something wrong with Rem, how could so many things have happened?"
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head, thinking that Heinze's petty attitude could not be changed.
In his opinion, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce suffered losses in this matter, so he was very unhappy.
If you want to change his mind, you can only think in terms of his thinking.
Xu Yi thought for a while and said to Heinze: "Actually, when it comes to the benefits of this matter to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not all of them are long-term. In the short term, there are still great benefits."
As expected, Heinze showed an interested expression: "Really? What are the benefits? Tell me."
"First, in fact, this time we are selling the magic hot water kettle technology not just to one chamber of commerce, but with fixed prices and terms. All chambers of commerce that are willing to buy and accept these terms can buy it, so this is over. In less than a week, more than 20 chambers of commerce have contacted us about purchasing technology.”
Heinze was shocked: "How is the situation? How many chambers of commerce are willing to buy it? How much money are they prepared to pay?"
"It's not clear yet. But judging from their enthusiasm, I estimate that there will be at least fifteen chambers of commerce that are very willing to buy. My price for the relevant technology is a total price of 10,000 gold coins. At the same time, each chamber of commerce that purchases the technology will To produce a magic hot water kettle, you have to pay one silver coin to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.”
"It's a bit like our previous cooperation model with the Fasak Chamber of Commerce." Heinze interjected.
"Well, it's a bit similar. But this time, I plan to continue this model for a long time." Xu Yi said with a smile. "I have been hoping that the Royal Parliament will enact a patent law, but it has never happened. Since the Royal Parliament does not care, then we will do it ourselves. As long as there are enough chambers of commerce to buy our technology this time and sign this agreement, It’s equivalent to these chambers of commerce purchasing our patents. If this model gradually spreads and is accepted by everyone, it will be equivalent to us creating a patent law ourselves.”
Heinze thought for a while and nodded: "Well, this is indeed a good method. However, we can only get a profit of one silver coin for each magic hot water kettle, which is really too little... "
Seeing Heinze sighing there, Xu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Maybe you will think that this money is very small now, but believe me, in the future you will find that for every magic hot water kettle, we will The profit of one silver coin without doing anything is actually quite a lot, because it won’t be long before the era of huge profits from household magic machines will come to an end.”
Heinze looked at Xu Yi blankly.
No matter how reluctant he was, he had to admit that what Xu Yi said was absolutely correct.
Although competition will bring progress, competition will more easily make profits thinner.
This truth has been verified in all industries on the Sainz continent. Although the magic machinery industry is a brand new industry, it absolutely cannot escape this iron law.
The only thing Heinze can do is to pray that this time comes as late as possible. (To be continued...)
