Chapter 90 Did you leave? !

"We will solve them one by one, starting with the production problem." Luo Ming said while sitting on a chair in the conference room.

"Our studio is a research and development base, but it is definitely unrealistic to talk about mass production. However, if we go to build a new factory and produce it ourselves. First of all, we don't say whether we can support the cost. Even if we have the cost to do it, we will It's too late." Luo slapped his hand.

"Building a factory in the UK is very difficult. First, the location is a problem. Second, the cost of production in the UK is so high, how much did I spend when we built the factory? Just the wages of the workers are enough. We are a start-up company, not Giants like Microsoft and Samsung." Brian answered the phone.

"There is still time. If you want to set up a production plant in the UK, the approval process will be quite long. When the procedures are completed, the factory will be established. Our first batch of mobile phones is estimated to be three years later."

Never overestimate the efficiency of the British.This is the consensus in Europe.The least efficient in Europe are the British, Spaniards, Italians and Moldovans

This is not to say that there is any discrimination, but that the basic national conditions of these countries are such that there is no way to compare with Germany.

In the conference room, everyone expressed their opinions, and a light suddenly flashed in Luo Ming's mind.

"Why don't we learn from Apple's model? Apple doesn't have a production factory, but they are already one of the big names in the mobile phone and computer industries." Luo Ming said with a smile.

Immediately, Bryan’s business school classmates thought, “You mean the foundry model?!”

"Yes. Since we can't produce it ourselves, let others produce it. In this way, we can save a lot of time and cost, and our product patent is as small as a screw, so we are not afraid of imitation by others." Luo Ming continued: " It is not difficult to produce a mobile phone, but it is very difficult to produce a high-tech mobile phone. Therefore, as long as we always maintain our own technological innovation, we are not afraid of imitation by others.”

"Yes, we can also go to the national patent office where the foundry is located to prepare a case, and then sign a series of trade secret contracts." Business school students are quick-thinking in this regard.

"I suggest to go to Luo Ming's hometown and find a foundry in China. As we all know, China is famous for its speed. Their speed and quality are the most cost-effective in the world. India and Southeast Asia are also very cheap, but their speed and quality are not as good as Therefore, Europe and the United States do not consider it, and the production cost is too high," Kreizmann added.

Luo Ming joked: "Brian said it was a product exported from China. In fact, the quality of the product sold in China is average."

Sure enough, Luo Ming's joke amused everyone in the conference room.

"The problem of production is solved. We can sign a sharing model with each other. Every time we sell a lot of mobile phones, how much share do we give to several foundries. In this way, we can save a lot of initial investment, after all, we don't have much money. And, don't worry The other party does not work hard on quality. After all, our interests are closely related. Although we may not give them a small amount when we grow up, we can worry about supervision and testing. The damage of our products affects sales and is also a big loss for them. "Luo Ming made the final decision.

After Luo Ming’s introduction, the business students invited by Kreizman immediately said excitedly: “We can divide the sales into two steps, and let’s not talk about the traditional offline mode. The second step is online sales. Nowadays, Online shopping has become a necessity in everyone's life, it solves many small problems and saves our time. So everyone is familiar with online shopping. We can set up on eBay, Amazon, Alibaba and other world-renowned e-commerce sites flagship store, and then sell our products online.”

Luo Ming nodded: "This idea is very good. If it is online sales, we must take the initiative. We must carry out a series of publicity and promotion on the Internet so that our products can be sold."

"We want to make a promotional video, which mainly reflects the technological sense of our mobile phones, and then put this promotional video on major portal websites." Suddenly remembered something, Luo Ming said again: "By the way, the prophecy of the end of the world is not Is it hot?" We made a fuss about it and found an advertising agency.We revolve around doomsday gimmicks and then mirror how we feel about technology and products. "

Brian nodded excitedly.Apparently, he also thought it was a good idea.

What is the hottest thing in 2012?Not Apple's next-generation phone, not Samsung's new product, not the Spanish dynasty reaching its peak at the European Championships, not the prophecy of the end of the world.

The meeting lasted for a long time, and Luo Ming finally announced that he would inject 200 million pounds into St. Andrews Communications, of which 100 million pounds would be used for the production of promotional videos, publicity, public relations cooperation and the establishment of the company's website, and the other 100 million pounds would be used to acquire a company Swedish small company.

This company is called Moldova, and it is a biometric technology company.Their company has a 15-year-leading fingerprint identification technology.After Apple acquired Authentec and launched a fingerprint phone, fingerprint technology suddenly became popular in the mobile field.In the future, this Swedish fingerprint company will become one of the largest biometric technology companies in the world, providing fingerprint technology support for Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi.

In 2016 or 2015, it was impossible for Luo Ming to acquire this company, because the market value of this company alone was as high as several hundred million, and there was a steady stream of orders every year, so it was impossible to sell this company.

But now, Apple won't complete its acquisition of AT until this summer, and its first fingerprint-reading phone, the 5s, won't arrive until late next year.Therefore, fingerprint identification technology has not been impacted by the mobile communication field, and the price is naturally cheap.

Currently, Moldova has very few orders in Sweden.A few years ago, a laptop's fingerprint sensor caught fire and has been phased out by major computer companies in recent years.Therefore, the fingerprint company has had a hard time in the past two years, so it can only live by tightening its belt.

So when Bryan's business school classmate named Anna led several leaders of the mobile phone team to Sweden to acquire the company, it turned out surprisingly smoothly.

Although Moldova is in a difficult situation at the moment, they cannot be sent away just for £100 million.Although its reputation and technology are not as famous as Apple's target AT, it is also the best in the industry.

So its valuation is 500 million pounds, and the 100 million pounds given by Luo Ming is naturally not enough.After three days of discussions between the two teams, with Luo Ming's permission, Anna acquired the Swedish technology company through an equity transaction.

First, £100 million in cash, plus the current 8% stake in St Andrews Mobile Communications.Of these shares, 4% is owned by the Moldovan boss, and the remaining 4% is allocated to Moldovan core high-level employees and technical backbones.

Since then, the two companies seem to be two separate companies, but Luo Ming is the boss behind the two companies.At the same time, Moldova is also one of the shareholders of St. Andrews Mobile Communications Company, and St. Andrews Mobile Communications Company is also a shareholder of Moldova

This method is often seen in business. When the interests of two families are bundled together, it is easier to create more benefits.

Moldovan bosses are definitely not fools.As one of the leaders in this industry, he naturally heard the news that Apple will acquire the US company AT.The two companies have not discussed the price yet.It is said that Apple only needs 2 million U.S. dollars, while AT's management wants 4 million U.S. dollars.The gap is large, so commercial negotiations are still ongoing.

He naturally knows that his Moldova can't keep up with the American at Company, so he won't open his mouth like a lion with 1 million US dollars.Stupid people think about earning a ticket and leave, while smart people think about long-term benefits.

Why is Apple buying companies?Obviously, they want to apply fingerprint technology to mobile phones or computers.What is Apple?Everyone knows that as soon as they start the era of fingerprint mobile phones, mobile phones and biotechnology will become hot bread.

I only own a biotech company and obviously I only get a small portion of this big loaf.But if he cooperates with this new mobile phone company, he will naturally get more.

And he'd seen the prototype shown, and he'd bet he'd want to buy one, so his future was unquestionable.

Nobody in this world is a fool, Moldovans are born smart.So at the beginning they called out 10% of the shares, but in the end, the young and beautiful girl said 8%, but the result was acceptable to everyone.

Moldova's market value is only 500 million pounds, and the other party has already paid 100 million pounds in cash, so the remaining 400 million pounds in exchange for 8% of the mobile phone company's shares will not lose money anyway.

After the acquisition of Moldova, Romin told Krizman that the current job is basically a business matter.Krizman, who cooperated with the production and promotion, left the R&D studio members to start developing the next generation of mobile phones, and Luo Ming also wrote down some of his ideas in a document, and asked the R&D studio team to check and fill in the gaps , then added some professional stuff, and finally put together a plan for a new phone.

Once the plan is approved, we will start developing this new phone.

In order for the players to complete the next game with peace of mind, the team's bonus will not be released until the end of the season, but Romin has already paid his own bonus of 400 million pounds.

Among them, 200 million pounds will be invested in mobile phones, and the remaining 200 million pounds will naturally not be deposited in Luo Ming's bank.Such stupid behavior is not Luo Ming's style.

After returning to Morecambe, Luo Ming found William's third child, Fang Wei William.

"You asked me to take the certificate test. I have already done well. What should I do next?" Fang Wei William spoke first as soon as he entered the door.

"Next, you need to register a company in London, and I will give you £100 million to register and rent an office. It doesn't need to be too complicated. At the moment we just need to go through all the formalities of this company and say we are a legal company. As for the office , just take a look." Luo Ming took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

Fang Wei William frowned. "You mean the bag company?"

As a lawyer, Fang Wei William immediately understood Luo Ming's plan, but it was obviously a fool for such a company.

"Hey, Fang Wei. I know what you're thinking. It's not what you think. First, we don't have much money right now. Second, what company do we run? A brokerage company doesn't need such a complicated office. Now you are the only broker People, we didn’t have many players in the early stage. Why do we need such a complicated office and administrative system? When our company develops, new offices and personnel will naturally be added.” Luo Ming explained.

Fang Wei William thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.Now except for the big players in the brokerage firm, small companies or individuals really don’t have any gorgeous offices, and most of their offices are made at home or on the plane.

Luo Ming has long wanted to open a brokerage company by himself.He knows his edge is only a few years ahead of the predictability of this era. After 2016, his upside will be gone, so he needs to build a scouting system.

Setting up a brokerage firm is easy.At that time, what kind of players do you need, and then let the brokerage company help you find them.It depends on the final result.

This idea was put into practice after he met Fang Wei William.Among them, Fang Wei William undoubtedly has a unique advantage, because he has a lawyer's license, which is the most basic condition for obtaining a FIFA broker certificate.

Therefore, last month, Fang Wei William had already obtained a FIFA-certified football agent license, and until then, they began to cooperate to start a company.

Luo Ming drafted a non-disclosure contract, he gave money, contacts and information, and Fang Wei William gave manpower to jointly set up a brokerage company.After negotiations, Luo Ming occupied 70% of the company's shares, and Fang Wei William only occupied 30%.

After all, the capital and connections come from Luo Ming, and Fang Wei William is only responsible for running errands, and 30% of the shares is quite a lot.Even without Fang Wei William, Luo Ming can choose to cooperate with other small managers, but relatively speaking, Luo Ming still trusts Fang Wei William.

After all, he has known William's family for half a year, and he knows that this family is a family that values ​​credibility and commitment.This may have something to do with William and his older son hanging out earlier.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Luo Ming asked Fang Wei William to keep the news that he was the major shareholder of the company confidential.He was the boss of this company before people.After all, even the name of the company is "William Brokerage Company"

After discussing the details of the company with Fang Wei William, Luo Ming gave the other party a document.It means that once the company takes down all the official procedures, the player will postpone this information.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Fang Wei William said with a straight face: "Do you think I can handle so many players by myself? My God, there are at least hundreds of players here."
