Chapter 31 Cooperation

"This phone is indeed good, but how can you be so confident that it can grab market share from giants like Nokia?"

It is true that Chen Mu’s mobile phone is indeed eye-catching, but after all, Chen Mu’s mobile phone is still too young. At best, it is a dark horse and has no way to compete with the old mobile phone companies.

So, Tony is actually still not very optimistic.

In his heart, he is still more inclined to his own plan and enter the energy industry, which is an industry full of unlimited business opportunities!

"The cell phone is just a minor incident."

Tony was very clear about this point and continued, "Besides, not everyone can afford such a mobile phone."

The most expensive Nokia cell phones these days can be sold for around 8,000 to 9,000 yuan. This cell phone that looks even more “advanced” should at least be priced this high, right?

And at this price, how many people in this world can afford it?

"This is the biggest advantage of Xiaomu's mobile phone."

Chen Mu smiled, looked at Tony, and asked, "Do you know what the biggest advantage of Huaxia OEM is?"

"Let me think about it first. It seems to be cheap labor and cheap cost, right?"

Tony thought about it and it was easy for him to think of the advantages of China's OEM as the "world factory".

"Yes, that's the cost. The cost of Xiao Mu's phone is actually only around 500 yuan. Note that it's RMB."

More than 500 RMB, converted into US dollars, is less than 100 US dollars!

In other words, this phone is definitely affordable for everyone!

"Really?"

If so, then this is indeed a very profitable project!

Tony was a little surprised. At this moment, he was also shocked by China's cost control. This was really scary.

In fact, the most important thing is technology. Because of the system, Chen Mu’s investment in technology is basically zero cost, so he can control the cost to this level.

"The cost is one hundred dollars, plus all those messy taxes and construction costs. Even if all the costs are added up, it shouldn't reach one hundred dollars. Even if it is sold for two hundred, no, three hundred dollars, it will be a huge profit!"

At this moment, Tony realized that mobile phones might really become a huge profit industry.

In particular, Hua Xia's production capacity and its cost control.

"So, we need a large upfront investment for production. In addition, we hope to get the Jarvis program installed on the phone when it leaves the factory."

Of course, the Jarvis intelligent system on the mobile phone is actually very streamlined, with only simple processing capabilities. It is not even as good as the smart programs of many mobile phones in the previous life. It can only make calls, send text messages, and play music. However, for people of this era, this is simply a groundbreaking black technology!

"That's no problem, of course."

Tony thought about it and nodded. He was very confident in his own Jarvis system. He didn't believe that just installing a backup of Jarvis in the other party's factory would allow the other party to steal his technology. Putting Jarvis with the other party would actually bring him many benefits. The biggest benefit was that Jarvis could monitor the factory to see if there were any other acts of dishonesty. So, he agreed easily.

"The initial investment is one billion US dollars. I hope to build more factories in China and start production as soon as possible."

Tony only thought about it for a moment before making the decision. Ten billion dollars is actually a lot of money!

Tony's investment was very risky.

"That's great!"

Ten billion US dollars is naturally an unimaginable fortune for Chen Mu. He can use this money to do more things!

"Of course, I have conditions for such a large investment. Stark needs to control 90% of Xiaomu Technology's shares!"

"Impossible. I can give you Xiaomu Mobile's shares, and ninety is too much. The most I can give you is seventy."

It’s just that the shares of Xiaomu Mobile Phone are not a big problem for Chen Mu. Mobile phones are not his main product.

"make a deal."

I thought they would continue bargaining, but Tony unexpectedly agreed directly. Apparently, his original idea was not even more than 70%.

Anyway, for Tony, he only cares about Xiaomu Mobile Phone. As long as he holds more than 50% of the shares and has the right of absolute control, he doesn't care.

As for other products of Xiaomu Technology in the future? Tony didn't care at all. Or rather, the arrogant Tony thought that Chen Mu was lucky to come up with the Xiaomu mobile phone.

Tony simply didn't believe that Chen Mu could come up with other products that would impress him.

"Come on, Brother Chen Mu, have a drink!"

Tony, in a good mood, took out a bottle of treasured red wine from the wine cabinet next to him and enthusiastically poured a glass for Chen Mu. This was the first time that he did not look down on Chen Mu. After all, in his opinion at this moment, Chen Mu was undoubtedly a boy who brought wealth.

"We've discussed the cooperation, but I have a personal matter that I don't know if I should talk about."

Chen Mu took the wine glass, looked at Tony and asked.

"explain."

Tony gestured, holding up his glass.

"Mr. Tony should know that we originally produced toys, and we have also obtained the production license for the appearance of all your company's weapons. I wonder if you can let us see the Iron Man armor?"

Chen Mu looked at Tony and told him his purpose.

"I'm going to produce some proportional Iron Man wearable toys. I wonder if I can see the real Iron Man."

"Toys? Of course."

Tony didn't refuse. It was not a big deal for him. It was just for people to see. What was the problem?

It’s just a toy anyway. Can Chen Mu’s small factory really produce the real Iron Man armor?

They are only fit to produce toys!

As for toy appearance licensing?

Is this thing really useful?

If the Chinese factory wants to produce, then just produce it directly. Stark is out of reach and cannot do anything about it. Moreover, this behavior is also a disguised form of advertising for him. He is so happy that he doesn't even have time to refuse.

"That's great! Besides, I am actually your fan too. Just think about it, wearing armor and flying in the sky, it's really enviable!"

Of course, this was just Chen Mu's nonsense, but he still acted as if he was worshipping him.

"Ha, of course it's no problem, even if I put it on you, that's fine!"

After taking a look at Chen Mu's figure, he found that it was not much different from his, so Tony said so.

It is naturally not a problem to let him put it on. The armor is controlled by Jarvis. Are you afraid that Chen Mu will run away after wearing it?

Let him wear it, it's just for his pleasure, and even his range of movement will not exceed this building!

"really?"

Hearing this, Chen Mu was overjoyed!

"Of course, come with me."

Tony nodded and said to Chen Mu, then walked to the next room. Over there was Tony's laboratory, which was also where the armor was stored.

Chen Mu hurriedly followed. He was extremely excited that Tony was willing to let him wear armor. This time, he was no longer pretending!

"Ms. Xu Jia, please follow me and let's discuss the specific details of our cooperation."

Xu Jia wanted to follow and see what was going on, but was stopped by Xiao Lajiao. He had no choice but to follow Xiao Lajiao and walk towards the office.
