Sorry, the previous chapter was blocked, coincidentally it was the weekend, I couldn't delete it, and I don't know how to apply for unlocking. I'm worried that everyone will subscribe to the new chapter.
Finally, after some changes, Chapter 103 mainly introduces Xu Fei's development of the small speaker, the changes in Yellow Mud Hillock, and the thoughts of some Japanese dealers, which have little impact on the subsequent plot. You can skip it or wait for it to be unlocked before adding it.
……………
January 21st, 11 am.
Daze Power.
More than a dozen foreign-owned cars with black license plates were parked one after another at the entrance of the newly built auditorium.
More than fifty engineers carrying small biubiu, in pairs, escorted the Japanese business tycoons who got off the cars one after another, heading to the 8th meeting room for this commercial negotiation.
Xu Fei looked at the small map, the red and purple hostile marks, sighed at the strength of the enemy, and led the way to the adjacent room of the meeting room with a big horse.
Then, with the help of the monitoring system, he analyzed the identities of the visitors based on the information about the Japanese business tycoons obtained by the Navy SEALs and the Boston Police Department through the North American intelligence system.
The purpose of the Japanese business tycoons is mostly to obtain the general distribution rights of Japan.
Now, the brand of Mechanical Three Kingdoms has almost taken off.
Monthly sales of 12 million sets, factory export amount of 100 million RMB, and Japanese sales amount of at least 300 million RMB.
Of course, selling at 1 RMB domestically and 3 RMB in Japan does not mean that the domestic profit is 2 RMB less.
For example, the regular version of Mechanical Zhao Yun, with a purchase of 500,000 sets, no horse, and a unit price of 10 RMB.
After the foreign trade merchant receives the goods, including export tax and transportation costs, the price needs to be increased by 1-3 RMB per item to make a profit.
When the Japanese distributor receives the goods, including import tax, transportation costs, and sales tax, at least an increase of 3-5 RMB is needed to make a profit.
When the Japanese retailer receives the goods, including cost allocation, an increase of 3-5 RMB is still needed.
The final selling price is at least 20 RMB per set.
If it is in a remote area, there may be secondary and tertiary distributors, and the final retail price may reach 30 RMB.
Moreover, whether it is a foreign trade merchant, distributor, or retailer, they all use their own money to purchase goods and bear a certain risk before sales, so the price increase will definitely be higher.
Based on this, the annual export amount of the manufacturer is at least 1.5 billion RMB, and the annual sales amount of Japan is at least 4.5 billion RMB, which is equivalent to 67.5 billion Japanese currency.
In 1999, Bandai's total sales were 500 billion Japanese currency. With a new toy that does not involve copyright, we have leveraged one-eighth of their sales in less than two months, which is absolutely amazing.
It can be said that as long as our production capacity keeps up, we will be able to take down Bandai next year.
As for the general distribution rights of Japan.
Since the distributor and the manufacturer have a cooperative relationship, the price given by the manufacturer is only a guide price, and the distributor can set the price by themselves.
In addition to the huge Japanese market...
The value of the 'distribution rights' evaluated by the operating center is at least 1 billion RMB per year, excluding the payment for the goods.
Obviously, this model earns more than the current 'foreign trade merchant + distributor + retailer' model.
But Xu Fei's ideal model is to open direct stores in the main cities of Japan.
While retailing, the goods are distributed to local 'agents', who pay agency fees and receive rebates or commissions in the future.
In this way, we can control the market.
Selling the 'distribution rights', even if an agreement is signed, has little binding force on the distributor. Maybe one day, we will suddenly lose the Japanese market.
While Xu Fei was pondering, he was also looking through the information about the Japanese business tycoons.
Unfortunately, the intelligence provided by the Navy SEALs and the Boston Police Department was all about large business tycoons.
Such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Wang You, Furong...
They don't match the Japanese business tycoons who came today at all.
"Could it be that my vision is too narrow?"
"That's right, we have a base to rely on. These people are just distributors. We can just replace them with spies."
Xu Fei called up the small map and counted the number of Japanese people.
Thirty-six, seven of whom can be replaced.
He immediately decided to delay the action until the evening.

……………
Meeting room 8.
While the host was absent, the Japanese business tycoons discussed their observations and thoughts on the way.
TEP is a multinational company, and it's strange to invest in such a remote place.
Especially designing popular toys, but not using the port for foreign trade.
Everyone present was very puzzled about this.
At this time.
Xu Fei walked in leisurely and stood at the front of the conference table, "Let me introduce myself, I am Xu Fei, the Factory Director of TEP (China) at the Iron Toy Factory in Yellow Mud Hillock, East Mountain. Although I am young, I have some say in TEP."
The Japanese business tycoons below looked up at the accompanying translator, trying to understand what he meant, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
Is TEP crazy to appoint such a young person as the factory director?
"I already know the purpose of everyone's visit, the general distribution of Japan."
Xu Fei opened the projector purchased by the purchasing department from TEP (North America), "The monthly sales volume, monthly sales amount, and market prospects of Mechanical Three Kingdoms, you should be clearer than me."
"What I want to talk about today is the depth of development of Mechanical Three Kingdoms."
As he spoke, he adjusted the PPT in the laptop, "In terms of products, there are currently three major directions. Due to involving corporate strategy and confidentiality, I can only describe it briefly."
"The ordinary Mechanical Three Kingdoms uses collision gameplay, exquisite modeling, and a strong metal and mechanical style to stabilize the market. Next, we will continue to enhance this series, such as launching an action version character, and then launching a wired remote control version character, a wireless remote control version character... Technology is advancing, and our great vision at TEP is to control the mechanical characters through wireless remote control, have a thrilling battle with teammates in specific scenes, and achieve 'real combat'."
"Of course, this idea is too advanced, but we will continue to work towards this direction, and in this process, each generation version is an update!"
After Xu Fei finished speaking, he took out the upcoming release of Zhang Fei.
He twisted it, pressed the activation device, and placed it on the ground...Xu Fei took a big step forward in a catapult posture, killing with every step, and then wildly waving the snake spear, "I kill, I kill, I kill, hahaha!"
It has to be said that the extraordinary performance of the old man Jia from the Yuhong class, combined with the deep bass speaker, presented a perfect image of Zhang Fei from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The Japanese business tycoons at the scene all stood up in unison.
The terrifying thing was not the laughter, nor the pure sound effects, but the fact that he was running and waving the long spear at the same time.
If it was said that the game manufacturers used to imitate the Mechanical Three Kingdoms before, it was because the cost was too high to sell.
Then now, the game manufacturers... can't even imitate it at all!
How sophisticated gyroscopes are needed for this? How precise transmission structures? How complex calculation formulas?
If your TEP has such advanced production technology, why not make weapons?
Xu Fei put away the fierce Zhang Fei, "Our next goal is to add three sets of actions, or improve the motor drive, form a cycle of actions, just like the big move in King of Fighters, every once in a while, you can repeat a certain action. If one day TEP achieves the electrical automation of Mechanical Three Kingdoms, we can achieve remote control combat."
Then he looked around at the Japanese business tycoons at the scene, "The exclusive distribution rights for Japan, I think, asking for 5 billion RMB is not excessive, right?"
"For a year?" a translator for a certain Japanese business tycoon asked.
"The first year, the next year there is only the right of first refusal. If someone offers a higher price than you, then I'm sorry."
"Mr. Xu, I wonder how many of these mechanical characters your company can produce?"
"5000 sets per day, the factory price for a single set is 2400 RMB, 18,000 yen."
"I have confidence in your company's toys, but I have doubts about the market's capacity to absorb them," said the translator for the Japanese business tycoon who had spoken earlier, shaking his head and sitting down, seeming to give up.
Another translator for a Japanese business tycoon spoke up, "Mr. Xu, with this production volume and shipping price, even if we double it, we can sell at most 8.5 billion RMB in a year, including half of the payment, we simply can't make back the 5 billion distribution fee."
"In that case, we can change the method and authorize an agent."
"Sorry, this request is even more stringent."
"In that case, we have nothing more to discuss."
After Xu Fei finished speaking, he pulled out a woven bag from under the table, "You may not know, but toys are just a side business for TEP. Since we can't reach an agreement, I'll take the opportunity to promote our main business."
"???"
The whole room looked puzzled.
Xu Fei directly took out a small biubiu with a spring from the woven bag, "A spring toy modified from the Beretta 92F, finely crafted, fully equipped, and cleverly designed."
As he spoke, he disassembled and assembled it, opened the safety, and test-fired it without bullets, "Convenient for import and export, the current model in North America, priced at only 300 dollars."
"..."
"Anyone interested? Place an order today and we guarantee delivery the same month."
"..."
"Alright, then next, it's still the current model in North America, M6 modification, greatly improved accuracy and applicability, priced at only 500 dollars!"
"..."
"No one wants it? Does anyone want the M8 armored artillery system commissioned for sale by the manufacturer?"
"..."
