Lin Qingya's work efficiency has always been surprisingly high.
The next morning, she had already drafted a new contract and sent it to her subordinates who were preparing to sign contracts with the foundry at the front end, and asked them to change their negotiation ideas and strive to negotiate the new contract.
The front-end employees immediately took the new contract to communicate with the OEM. This was the first time the OEM had seen this kind of work routine. The buyers were afraid that they would not sell it, so they had to sign an advance order agreement and then pay. A certain deposit is required, and if you don’t sell it, you will have to pay ten times the compensation.
Nonsense, how could I not sell it? I wish I could sell more!
The MP3 market is ever-changing. Domestic and foreign brands are messy, and there are more products without domestic brands or small brands. Therefore, this industry is changing rapidly. There are many companies launching MP3, but for these companies, most of their core industries are not there. As for MP3, they are also more cautious about MP3. Currently, MP3 orders from foundries are only three months from now. Orders after three months have not yet been placed, such as the fourth one. I'm afraid I won't receive my orders until next month, or even the month after that.
For this reason, OEMs are also worried about future orders for the MP3 production line. It is the first time they meet someone who is willing to sign a one-year agreement at a time, so it is strange that he will not agree.
In one day, the front-end employees secured two OEM contracts. The Taiwan OEM signed a contract for 1.05 million units, while the Shenzhen OEM directly signed a contract for 1.6 million units.
However, the situation of both companies is similar. The Taiwanese OEM can only provide a maximum of 150,000 units of production capacity to Yiting Technology in the first three months, but starting from the fourth month, it can increase its production capacity to One hundred thousand units per month; OEMs in Shenzhen can only produce up to 250,000 units in the first three months, but can increase their production capacity to 150,000 units per month in the next nine months.
In this regard, Yiting Technology needs to pay 30% of the payment for the first batch of 100,000 units, and at the same time pay the deposit for all intended orders at 10 yuan per unit, which is nothing more than 20 million yuan. This amount of money is still Li Mu's. Affordable.
However, spending more than 20 million yuan is to buy yourself an insurance. If the foundry manufacturer wants to stop cooperating with you under pressure, you must carefully weigh whether you can afford the compensation. This is a total of two Liquidated damages of more than 100 million are basically impossible for OEMs with already meager profits to afford.
What Li Mu wants is this kind of effect. He first pays for the other party to make a neck collar. When the other party puts it on his neck willingly, Li Mu will never take the initiative to tighten the rope, but if the other party wants to break free, then this collar will It will kill them.
The factory signed the contract, Yiting Technology made the payment as promised, and the two factories immediately began preparations for production.
A few days ago, Li Mu racked his brains for a name for his hardware brand. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a suitable name. Then when he saw that the contract was about to be signed, he simply decided to pursue catchy words like Apple, so he founded a brand as if it was childish. Hardware brand trademark: Mango. What Li Mu thought at the time was that maybe when people mentioned fruit machines again in the future, they would not be talking about apples, but mangoes.
Apple's logo is an apple with a bite, but Li Mu did not use a mango image as his brand logo. Instead, he directly used an artistic English Mango as the brand logo. The font is somewhat similar to Philip and Nokia, but he uses The orange color of mango still looks very classy.
The first hardware product of the Mango brand is the MP3, which is about to be produced. Li Mu is absolutely sure that it will become an instant hit.
After the OEM was settled, Li Mu made a special trip to Taobao's office and met with Liu Edong and Fang Xudong.
Li Mu told the two of them about his signing of the MP3 OEM contract, and at the same time put forward his own requirements for Taobao's launch time: "It will be launched on June 6, and customized MP3 sales will be launched on the same day."
Fang Xudong said almost without thinking: "It's no problem to go online on June 6. It's not impossible to work harder to go online on June 1."
Li Mu waved his hand: "Just June 6."
Fang Xudong nodded. Liu Gaodong wanted to ask Li Mu why he chose this time point, but in the end he refrained from asking.
As for why Li Mu chose June 6 to go online, it’s actually very simple. That day was his birthday.
After all, I want to give myself a different birthday gift, and Taobao’s one is enough.
Liu Edong asked Li Mu: "If we communicate with small sellers on eBay and other platforms in advance, then our project may be exposed in advance. Are there any problems?"
Li Mu said: "No problem, Taobao can be exposed in advance, but other aspects cannot. For example, in the future Taobao will be directed by Makino Technology, Alipay will provide online payment channels, and Yiting.com will exclusively sell customized MP3s, etc. If These things have not been exposed, and Taobao is actually a swaddled baby in the eyes of others, and no one will take it seriously."
Liu Edong said: "I understand, then I have nothing to worry about."
Li Mu said: "I'll leave everything to you two before going online. I've really had too many things to do recently and can't get away from it."
Liu Edong asked: "Hasn't your YY game hall been online for several days? I think the development momentum is very good. Why don't you take a vacation before Taobao goes online? What else do you have to be busy with?"
Li Mu said: "I also have Baofeng Entertainment, and "Miracle MU" will be charged soon!"
Only then did Liu Edong remember that Li Mu was still playing games outside. He shook his head and sighed: "Comparing people to people is really annoying. Can your game catch up with Legend in terms of revenue this year?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It should be fine within two months."
…
After finishing what he was doing for the time being, Li Mu had not yet breathed a sigh of relief. "Miracle MU" was about to start charging.
Fortunately, there is nothing that requires Li Mu to be busy this time. What should be done has already been done. The rest depends on what kind of answer the market gives to "Miracle MU".
Since the closed beta of "Miracle MU", Li Mu has started to hold activities in Tieba to build momentum for it. During the public beta, this game attracted a large number of players with its beautiful 2.5D graphics, huge world structure, and professional skill system. Favor, Li Mu has already made sufficient preparations for it, and is just waiting for the day when charging begins.
However, although "Miracle MU" avoided charging on the day YY Games was launched, because it was only five days late and the YY Landlord Competition was still in progress, the charging day was still somewhat affected by YY Games. .
Normally, the number of daily active users of "Miracle MU" is stable at more than 3 million, and the number of online users during peak hours is around 800,000. However, since the YY game was launched, this number has dropped by about 10%, and the average user usage time has dropped even more. , reaching 30%, but Li Mu also knew that the average usage time dropped because users allocated part of their time to Landlord competitions. The number of daily active users and peak online users only dropped by 10%, which was still acceptable to Li Mu.
On the day "Miracle MU" was officially charged, 280 people logged into the game and 1.2 million people purchased point cards. Miracle's point cards are priced the same as Legend, 35 yuan for 120 hours, or 35 yuan for a monthly subscription with no time limit. In addition, you can also Choose 20 yuan for 60 hours, or 20 yuan for 15 days. If you use Alipay to purchase, you will enjoy a 5% discount and have the opportunity to randomly receive time gifts. For example: if you purchase a 35 yuan point card, you have the opportunity to receive 1-10 hours immediately. Additional gifts. If you purchase a 35 yuan monthly card, you have the opportunity to receive 1-3 days of additional gifts. There is no random gift for the 20 yuan tier.
Therefore, among the 1.2 million people who bought point cards on the first day, nearly 800,000 used Alipay to recharge, and 90% purchased point cards worth 35 yuan. The rest basically came from the Internet cafe sales system.
In one day, revenue exceeded 35 million.
It is conservatively estimated that among the tens of millions of users in this game, more than two million people will eventually be converted into paying users, and the login interval between loyal users will not exceed three days. Therefore, if there are two million paying users, then It can bring in at least 50 to 60 million yuan in revenue. As for how many paying users it can have in total, Li Mu is not sure. But if you are lucky, if subsequent operations can cater to good user psychology, and if Legend is still indifferent to cheats, then paying users Breaking through three million is not a big problem.
Since most of the revenue comes from Alipay, Li Mu saves a considerable part of the point card sales channel fees, which also further increases actual profits.
Li Mu was very excited when he got this data. If we just talk about money, today is definitely the most exciting day since his rebirth, because he made tens of millions in one day. Unlike the situation of Makino Technology, in this money 60% is completely at your own disposal, so you can spend the money at any time. As long as you pay the tax, you can get it directly to your personal card.
After starting a business for so long, Li Mu finally dared to look up to the sky and scream: "I will never be short of money again!"
After "Miracle MU" was launched, he finally had enough money to call Chen Ze and ask: "Old Chen, when will our racing track + club project be launched? Hurry up and set a date so I can invest money in it!" "
Chen Ze laughed on the phone and said: "The Italian design team has already started to produce design plans and drawings. Once the plans and drawings are released, they can be started immediately. By the way, has Song Liang registered with Yanjing's real estate company?"
Li Mu said: "I have registered early, and I am just waiting to get this project to practice first."
Chen Zedao: "I have agreed with Du Fei that she will come back next month and focus on the club project first. If you have anything else that you need her to help you with in the United States, do it as soon as possible."
When Li Mu thought about Facebook, and the domain name of Facebook's entire family tree, he already had it in his hands, and the American company had also registered it. Now he didn't have to worry about anything. As long as he could fool Mark Zuckerberg by then, he would be completely free. Completely satisfied.
So, Li Mu smiled and said to Chen Ze: "I don't need her help anymore. Get her back quickly to relieve your lovesickness!"
