Rebirth: Starting from selling water to become the world’s richest man

For this situation, Li Shanshan has long been in his chest.

After all, they can provide a movement that is 200 yuan cheaper than the foreign importer Philips, and no one will refuse this temptation.

As for what I just said, developing DVD technology and making money from foreigners together in the future, this is not just talk.

You must know that the dispute over DVD patent fees can be called a shame for the Chinese manufacturing industry.

Since 1999, Hitachi, Panasonic, JVC, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and Time Warner have simultaneously announced the establishment of the Patent Protection Alliance (6C Alliance) and required all DVD manufacturers in the world to purchase "patent licenses" from them.

Since then, Huaxia DVD companies, which export 70% of the world's total DVD production, have been forced to pay high patent fees, and the asking price of the 6c alliance is $20 per DVD, which is equivalent to more than half of the profits of Huaxia DVD manufacturers at that time.

Of course, this was rejected by domestic companies, but then domestic DVD exports were greatly hit, and 3,864 DVD players exported by Pengcheng Pudi to the country of the sun were seized by Philips through local customs on the basis that they were not authorized by patents, and this situation has happened repeatedly.

There was no way, and in the end, the domestic DVD company compromised and reached a humiliating agreement with the 6c alliance.

All DVD manufacturers charge a patent fee of $16 per DVD sold in China, and $19 for export abroad.

This agreement has reduced the Huaxia DVD manufacturers who were still competing for the advertising crown of CCTV a few years ago to foundry, and a large number of domestic brands have disappeared.

Moreover, due to the high scalability of DVD patent technology, the rapidly expanding market share of Huaxia manufacturing enterprises in the world and the backwardness of patent protection have formed a sharp contrast.

Coupled with the smooth collection of patent fees of the 6C Alliance, inspired and affected by this incident, foreign manufacturers began to continuously impose patent fees on Huaxia TVs, U disks, CDs, CD burners and other manufacturers.

This situation continued until 2006, seven years later, also because the DVD industry had already become a sunset enterprise, and the 6c Alliance felt unprofitable, and announced that it would waive the patent fees of Huaxia DVD companies.

Nowadays, when it comes to Huaxia enterprises being squeezed by foreign enterprises because of the lack of intellectual property protection awareness and industrial standards, they will talk about DVD patent fees, a dispute that has lasted for 7 years, which has become a major scar on Huaxia manufacturing industry, and it is still painful from time to time, constantly arousing attention and reflection from all walks of life.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Li Shanshan set up the Huaxia Electronic Products Enterprise Association so hard.

He wants to twist domestic enterprises into a rope, popularize the DVD technology that has been developed in China, and then quickly export it to occupy overseas markets.

To complete this goal, Li Shanshan alone cannot do it, he needs the entire Huaxia DVD industry as a support.

At that time, I must collect patent fees from foreign DVD manufacturers!

The atmosphere in the conference room began to become warm, and the owners of various enterprises who had previously been unprofitable because of the price war finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, they thought that Li Shanshan called everyone over this time to continue to reduce the price, then they would be unprofitable.

Now it seems that this industry will still make money in the future!"

"After that, we love more VCD movements, please Wan Yan." Although

Ho Zhibiao was the last to decide, once he made up his mind, it was to do it.

Li Shanshan didn't expect Hu Zhibiao to be the first person to speak, so he smiled and said: "No problem, Mr. Hu, it depends on how much you need."

"The question of quantity, I need to go back and count."

Now Hu Zhibiao is not sure how many movements he needs, but he wants to take this opportunity to buy more goods, after all, this price is too attractive, he is afraid that Li Shanshan will regret it in the future.

"No problem, but all we ask for is a 50% upfront payment. "

Under normal circumstances, the purchaser will only prepay part of the deposit, which is generally 30% of the contract price, but this time Wanyan's movement is very cost-effective, so Li Shanshan asked for 50% in advance, which is not too much.

"Okay!" Hu

Zhibiao waved his hand and said very arrogantly: "President Li gave us such a preferential price, not to mention 50% advance payment, even if it is 100%." Duan

Yongping, who was on the side, saw this scene, and couldn't help but scold in his heart, what a dog

!" "Mr. Li, I also need to go back and discuss, and I am willing to pay first and deliver later!"

Duan Yongping said with a smile, as if he had forgotten the original unpleasantness a long time ago.

But this is also no way, the situation is stronger than people, now it is clear that Li Shanshan can reduce his own costs to the minimum, then he will say a few more good words without losing a piece of meat.

Li Shanshan couldn't help but glance at Duan Yongping more, and thought to himself, he is worthy of being a veteran entrepreneur who can survive to the end.

You must know that in 1999, a young man named Hurun had a whim and ranked the top 100 richest people in China.

Since the establishment of this list, there have been frequent changes every year.

Wealthy upstarts who have just been hyped by the media in the past year may be eclipsed the next year, and some may even go bankrupt or go to jail.

However, since the first session, there has always been Duan Yongping's name on the list, although it is not in the top few, but the victory is lasting, after all, it is king to the end.

And what is even more admirable is Duan Yongping's vision of people.

Huang Zheng, the founder of Fighting Dao, who is now ranked second on the Huaxia rich list, is Duan Yongping's junior disciple.

Duan Yongping gave him great help and guidance in life and career, including suggesting that Huang Zheng leave the internship company Microsoft after graduating from university and choose to go to Google, which is just starting out.

When he first entered Google, Huang Zheng got the original shares of Google, and later after Google went public, Huang Zheng took advantage of the trend to earn the first pot of gold.

In 2006, Duan Yongping took the opportunity to share lunch with Buffett for $620,000, but unexpectedly, he did not bring his family or his own company executives to participate, but brought Huang Zheng.

In this way, under his encouragement and influence, Huang Zheng embarked on the road of entrepreneurship step by step.

Of course, this is all an afterword, even if he was once strong, now Duan Yongping has to try his best to please in front of Li Shanshan.

This also reminded Li Shanshan of a sentence said by Sun Honglei in "Conquest": "I tell you, if it is a dragon, you have to be coiled, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down!"
