Chapter 171 Bicycle Order
Unlike Hollywood, the domestic film industry does not have any income from peripheral copyrights and derivative copyrights, and almost all income depends on the box office.
And the domestic box office system is very unfriendly to the producers. There are distributors as parents and theaters as grandfathers. The box office share of a movie is only about 40%.
Compared with Zhou Buqi's group-buying, meal ordering, social networking and other projects, movies are just a small business, with a total market of tens of billions.
No film and television company can make money without cheating and internal tricks.
However, because it is linked to the entertainment industry and involves many big stars, it is very eye-catching and has a strong appeal to the public.
This provides room for capital games to operate.
Like box office subsidies.
Third-party ticketing platforms such as Maoyan and Tao Piao Piao will subsidize users a lot, allowing movie fans to watch movies at extremely low prices.
Many people exclaimed, such a large-scale subsidy, is it not a loss?
This involves capital operation. What payment platform do you use to buy tickets online? Alipay or WeChat Pay? This is the contention for traffic entry.
The entire box office market is tens of billions, and the subsidy is a quarter. For giant Internet companies, this is nothing at all. The increase in the comprehensive market value brought about by the growth of users is even more significant.
This is still normal operation.
Irregular... First increase the holdings of stocks, then speculate at the box office, and then the stock prices skyrocket, and then cash out...
In front of capital, actors are just pawns.
Although it is the famous "Crazy Stone", Zhou Buqi didn't expect to make any money from the movie. It's nothing more than saving some favors first, so that we can deepen cooperation in the future.
After all, Ning Hao can be regarded as a leader among the new generation of directors.
Zhou Buqi briefly explained his thoughts and left.
First, the name of the script needs to be changed to "Crazy Stone", which is more eye-catching and attractive, and diamonds become emeralds;
Second, the investment amount is 4 million;
Third, Xu Baihui will be the producer;
Fourth, establish a long-term cooperative relationship. It doesn't matter if you fail once, but Jieyu Media is willing to build a movie dream with young filmmakers, and hopes to sign a long-term contract. The next 8 films directed by Ning Hao will be operated by Jieyu Media;
Fifth, invite Ning Hao to serve as the art director of Jieyu Media, and take charge of film art;
sixth……
The first few suggestions are for short-term cooperation, and the last few suggestions are for long-term cooperation, and the career planning for the next few years has been arranged.
Ning Hao is only 27 years old, and he is still a proper young man.
Today's domestic directors are not in their 40s or 50s, so it is difficult for them to have a say in the industry.
Even if this movie is approved for shooting, the next movie is still unknown.
It can be said that Zhou Buqi's arrangement paved a smooth path for his film career to grow.
Great attraction.
Let's see what Xu Baihui has to say next.
Zhou Buqi drove, took Wen Zhixia with him, and went to Jinmen.
"How did the talk go?"
"Okay."
"Did you really invest in the movie?"
Wen Zhixia's eyes were bright, and she was a little excited.
That's a movie!
In the past, it could only be seen in movies and on the big screen.
High above, as if in the clouds, untouchable.
Right now, that's the way to get involved?
Zhou Buqi's driving skills are good, and he drove to the suburbs of Beijing in less than half an hour. He turned to look at her and said with a smile: "Don't think too highly of movies. If I want to make movies, let alone number one in the country. Going to Hollywood is not a problem."
"Bragging!" Wen Zhixia pursed her lips and snorted coquettishly.
Zhou Buqi was confident and calm, and said in a soft voice: "The Internet is changing the world, and of course it also includes film and television entertainment. Just watch it. In a few years, the film and television industry will have to kneel to the Internet, and even Hollywood can't support it."
Wen Zhixia was dubious, "Then you still invest in movies?"
"Xu Baihui likes it!" Zhou Buqi shook his head and sighed, "I've read the script, it's okay, I don't think I'll lose any money, so let's play casually first. Actually, I've already planned it, and it will take two or three years , we have money in our hands, and I'm about to graduate, so I can reach out to arrange film and television entertainment, it's very easy, and I can monopolize it with one move."
Wen Zhixia let out a "puchi" and couldn't stop laughing.
This guy is blowing so hard!
Do you want to monopolize the entertainment circle as soon as you make a move?
who do you think You Are?
...
The leaders of Wangqingtuo Town gave warm hospitality again.
No way, with the development of the country's economy, bicycles have gradually been eliminated.
Back then, when people all over the country rode bicycles, Wangqingtuo Town was a star town in Jinmen, rich as hell.
Now that the shotgun has been changed and the car is driven, the entire bicycle industry has been fatally hit.
If the cooperation is successful this time, it will be the largest order signed by Wang Qingtuo Town in the past five years!
The number of bicycles is not much, only 5,000.
But the unit price is high!
The ex-factory price is six or seven hundred yuan!
Accompanied by seven or eight town leaders, Zhou Buqi and Wen Zhixia visited the production workshop and inspected it all afternoon.
Basically determined two more recognized models.
In the evening, drink.
On the second day, continue to investigate and select the model that is finally ordered.
"Our car, although the quotation is higher, but the higher price is mainly on the special-shaped aluminum alloy frame. Because it is a special-shaped, so we have to re-make the template, which is equivalent to re-inventing one, and the cost will definitely be high. However, If it is a long-term cooperation, ordering in large quantities, on average, the unit price will be lower and lower.”
"Our chainless transmission shaft is of better quality and has higher transmission efficiency. Ordinary chain transmission, the pedaling efficiency is about 0.9, their factory's gear transmission efficiency is about 0.94, and our factory's is as high as 0.98! This is the world's The configuration of the top mountain bike."
"Our bike is lighter and easier to ride, and it also has a front-loading basket design. College students usually travel for shopping, or they need to carry a bag. With a basket, it can be more convenient."
"Look at our tires! Three-year warranty, if something goes wrong, I'll give you a free replacement!"
"My car..."
After a whole morning of thinking and investigation, the final model was finally settled.
The frame of this bike is white, and the words "Shengshi Bicycle" are written in red letters on it. The seats and handles are black, but the tires are red, which looks particularly beautiful and eye-catching. In particular, the beams are curved, like flowing water, which is very artistic.
The whole shape is very cool.
Much prettier than those common bikes on the market.
Of course, the price is also extremely expensive.
Ex-factory price, 688 yuan!
According to the manufacturer, the cost price of the car is more than 600 yuan. If you order in large quantities in the future, the assembly line and the workers are skilled, and the price can be lowered.
In the afternoon, under the witness of the leaders of the town government, the contract was signed.
On such an occasion, with the witness of the government leaders and the care of the superiors, no one dared to tamper with the contract.
So the signing process was smooth.
Order 5,000 vehicles, with a total order value of 3.44 million yuan!
This is the largest single order that the entire Wangqingtuo Town has received since the beginning of the new century.
Of course, the money will not be paid in one lump sum.
25% down payment.
After the product is delivered, pay another 25%.
The remaining 50% can be paid within one year.
Moreover, the 5,000 bicycles are not delivered at one time. At the end of April, 2,000 bicycles will be delivered to Beihang University, Agricultural University, Beike University, and Peking University School of Medicine. The remaining 3,000 bicycles will be delivered in May.
These 5,000 bicycles will basically saturate the university campus.
Now, Shengshi Technology has 1.1 million in its account, and after paying the first payment of 860,000, there is still 240,000 left, which is enough for subsequent recruitment, marketing and other operations.
After signing the contract, Zhou Buqi wanted to go back to school, but was stopped by the town leaders.
No matter what you say, stay for another day!
The kindness is hard to turn down, there is no way, I will continue to drink at night.
Fortunately, I had to drive back to school early the next morning, and the leaders didn't force me to drink more than half a catty of liquor. This meal is mainly a celebratory dinner for the successful cooperation.
Returning to the town government guest house drunk at night, Wen Zhixia's face was bright red, and she was in a great mood.
With the signing of the contract, her career has officially started.
The next step is to do a good job of publicity, let the students of these universities know the concept of shared bicycles, and popularize them accordingly.
Then, the bicycles are delivered, put in the school, wait for the students to recharge their cards, and ride the shared bicycles for travel.
The college students are all riding Shengshi bicycles with black handlebars, white bars and red tires, going out for an outing this spring... It's exciting to think about that scene.
After taking a bath, Zhou Buqi woke up quite a bit, and asked, "How is that classmate of yours? Are you coming?"
"Well, it's agreed, she is going through the resignation procedures and will come next week."
It is impossible for Wen Zhixia to be in charge of such a big deal by herself, and she has to find a helper. The first thing that comes to mind is her best friend from college, Yang Xiaoyao who slept with her.
Zhou Buqi nodded, "How is her ability? Don't use nepotism and make me a mess."
Wen Zhixia said angrily: "Why are you like this? She is now an auto reporter in the economic department of the "Beijing News". She has been dealing with travel and auto related topics in recent years. She knows many friends in the auto industry. If you pester her, she won't leave her job."
"Uh..." Zhou Buqi paused, nodded, and couldn't help being curious, "Her name is Yang Xiaoyao, is her waist really small?"
"Small!"
Wen Zhixia stared angrily, "Not only is her waist small, but she is also beautiful! When I was studying, she was more popular than me! How about it, do you have an idea?"
Zhou Buqi hurriedly said: "How come? It's not like you don't know, I only have you in my heart."
"vomit!"
Wen Zhixia made a motion to vomit, I really don't know how this guy had the cheek to say such a blatant lie. However, she still warned him vigilantly: "Let me tell you, Xiao Yao has a boyfriend, and they are talking about marriage, so don't make a fool of yourself."
Zhou Buqi curled his lips, like a straight male cancer, and said: "You think too much! There are so many beautiful girls in the world, I don't have any idea of eating grass. Besides, I already have boyfriends, so I must have lost my virginity long ago. , not good enough for me. I still like you like this, pure and clean."
"Fuck you! Disgusting! Don't you look at your virtue?"
Wen Zhixia was so angry that his teeth itched, and he wanted to kick him twice.
