Chapter 585
Although bidding too high can ensure winning the bid, it will inevitably make the company feel the pain.
After all, as an important part of the social economy, enterprises shoulder unshirkable social responsibilities.
It is necessary for companies to give back to society by extracting funds from profits for infrastructure construction and public welfare and charity activities.
But this also means that bidding too high will squeeze profit margins and have a negative impact on future earnings.
To remain invincible in this war without the smoke of gunpowder, accurate intelligence and meticulous analysis are indispensable.
Enterprises must have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of market dynamics, competitor strength, social needs, etc., and know themselves and their opponents, so that they can strike a good balance between economic and social benefits when bidding.
At that time, He Hongshen, Ye Han and others were like a group of tireless and sharp-eyed hunters, shuttling through the streets and dark corners of Hong Kong, always sparing no effort to find out all kinds of information about Taixing Company.
In the ever-changing world of gaming, every piece of information could be the key to turning the situation around.
In fact, Ye Han had already had great enthusiasm for getting involved in the gambling industry before. He solemnly and hopefully submitted relevant applications to the Governor's Office twice, carefully preparing the documents.
He stayed up all night in his study, repeatedly considering every detail in the application, from the planning and layout of the gaming venue to the detailed setting of the operating model, and carefully weighing every word. He fully expected to open up a new world of his own in this fiercely competitive gaming industry and break the long-standing monopoly of Taixing Company.
However, there was a spy hidden inside the Governor's Mansion who was blinded by interests.
This man seems to be cautious and prudent on weekdays, but in fact he is blinded by greed. After Fu Laorong's side threw out a huge amount of money as an temptation, he did not hesitate to reveal Ye Han's carefully prepared trump cards, including the core advantages of the application, potential profit points and other key information, to Fu Laorong and his Taixing Company without reservation for his own selfish interests.
After hearing the news, Fu Laorong was secretly delighted in his mansion with a smug smile on his face.
In the subsequent competition process, Taixing Company easily only needed to offer a price slightly higher than Ye Han's, and won the game as easily as taking candy from a sack.
These two tragic failures were like two sharp blades that pierced directly into the hearts of Ye Han and others, causing blood to flow.
Not only did they suffer economic losses, but they also suffered a severe blow mentally, which made them more cautious and vigilant in their future plans. They began to re-examine the complex and ever-changing business situation and try to find ways to deal with it.
In past business battles, entertainment companies have suffered heartbreaking setbacks due to lack of intelligence and loopholes in bids. Those unforgettable painful lessons are still vivid in our minds.
This time, they learned from their mistakes and decided to turn defeat into victory.
The entertainment company made careful plans and deliberately delayed the quotation time.
Several special teams have been set up within the company. One group of people keeps a close eye on the opponent's movements day and night, and uses the personal connections of all parties to try to obtain more intelligence about the opponent from clues. Whether it is the core talents recently recruited by the opponent's company or their newly expanded cooperation channels, they are all within the scope of intelligence collection.
The other group devoted themselves to perfecting the content of the bid, polishing every detail repeatedly, from the creative highlights of the project to the detailed cost calculation, from the allocation of artist resources to the later publicity and promotion strategy.
Time passed quietly in this highly tense atmosphere, and before we knew it, it was October 10th.
The deadline for this bid was set at 3: p.m. on the same day. The ticking clock was like a countdown to fate. Every passing minute and every second struck at everyone's heartstrings. It seemed extremely precious. It seemed that if there was any mistake, everything would be lost.
As the deadline approaches, the task of writing the bid is pushed to the forefront.
The team members were facing a great enemy and gathered in the conference room early. The atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.
Everyone's eyes revealed an unprecedented focus. They knew that every decision at this moment could rewrite the fate of the company.
In front of the whiteboard, project leader Li Ming had a serious expression on his face, and the marker in his hand moved rapidly, outlining key data and preliminary plans on the whiteboard.
As he wrote, he elaborated on his ideas in detail, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice.
"From the data of market research, our advantages lie in the innovation and cost-effectiveness of our products. However, our competitors should not be underestimated. They have been deeply involved in the local market for many years and have a certain customer base. Therefore, we must do a good job in the terms of service and highlight our response speed and customized services."
Wang Yue from the Marketing Department sat at the conference table, his chin resting on his hands and his brow furrowed.
She listened carefully to Li Ming's speech, constantly weighing the pros and cons of various options in her mind.
After a moment, she raised her head and looked at everyone with a firm gaze.
"I agree with Li Ming's point of view, but I think we can further optimize our pricing strategy. Providing differentiated quotations according to different project sizes and cooperation periods can not only attract large customers but also ensure our profit margins."
Technical expert Zhang Wei pushed up his glasses and added: "In terms of technical solutions, we can add some cutting-edge technologies. Although the cost will increase, it can greatly enhance the competitiveness of the project."
Everyone expressed their opinions and there was a lot of debate in the meeting room.
The clash of opinions and differences in concepts made the atmosphere increasingly tense.
Time passed quietly in the heated discussion, and it was already late at night.
Although everyone looked tired, their eyes were still bright.
After several hours of repeated discussions and weighing of the pros and cons, the sparks of thought gradually blended in the fierce collision and finally a consensus was reached.
The team members acted quickly, sorted out the agreed plans one by one, and wrote them carefully into the bid.
Every word and every punctuation mark reflects their hard work and expectations.
This bid is not only the crystallization of the team's wisdom, but also their solemn commitment to the future, carrying their eager desire and firm belief in success.
Coincidentally, at the same time, the office building of Taixing Company was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Everyone is busy writing their final bid.
Fu Laorong, the legendary figure who has dominated the Hong Kong business community for many years, is now getting old. The years have mercilessly carved deep and shallow wrinkles on his face. His figure is no longer as strong as before. His physical condition and energy are not as good as before. It is difficult for him to take care of daily affairs personally.
The person who really runs the company is actually his son, Fu Yinzhao.
Fu Yinzhao was deeply influenced by his father's words and deeds since he was a child. He showed outstanding business talent at a young age. He inherited his father's business acumen and decisive style, and made his mark in the business world.
At this moment, he and Gao Ke-ning were secretly planning in the spacious and bright office.
As the company's think tank, Gao Ke-ning has come up with many surprising strategies in the business game with his extremely keen insight and rich experience accumulated over many years of hard work.
He was seen leaning forward slightly with a focused look, whispering to Fu Yinzhao, analyzing the current situation in detail and offering him advice.
Beneath the seemingly calm business world, undercurrents have actually been surging for a long time.
As early as several months ago, they had set their sights on the four core shareholders of the new group, each of whom had made achievements in the business world. They were Huo Yingdong, He Hongshen, Yip Hon and Yip Delin.
They took great pains to accurately predict and repeatedly evaluate the investment base of these four shareholders.
They mobilized the personal connections they had accumulated over the years in the political and business circles, traveled through the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, and through open and secret investigations, captured clues from casual conversations on the streets.
They also arranged for special personnel to collect various types of intelligence, whether it was public data on business activities or gossip from private gatherings, all of which were collected.
During that time, they were like hunters hiding in the dark, not missing any opportunity to reveal their opponent's cards.
Hard work pays off. After a lot of arduous efforts, we finally succeeded in obtaining conclusive information.
He Hongshen, relying on the strong financial resources accumulated from years of hard work in the business world and his ability to integrate resources in the industry, has been preparing privately for a long time and has prepared 100 million yuan of funds, which is enough to turn the tide at the critical moment.
Huo Yingdong is no less capable. He has extensive investments in multiple fields, from real estate to shipping, from finance to trade. Relying on the huge wealth accumulated over the years, he has quietly prepared 100 million funds. This fund is like a sharp blade hidden in the dark, ready to deal a fatal blow to the opponent at any time.
Ye Han has been deeply involved in the gambling industry for many years and is well aware of the development trends of the industry. Relying on his deep accumulation in the gambling field, he can also come up with 50 yuan of funds.
Ye Deli, with his keen business sense, manages many business assets. Although his business scope is not as wide as the previous ones, he has successfully raised 50 yuan in funds.
In this way, the total amount of capital that the four shareholders can invest will not exceed A$300 million.
In addition, he had to pay 100 million yuan because the assassination attempt failed.
After careful calculations, the bid amount of Aocheng Entertainment Company was determined to be a huge 400 million!
Faced with this set of data that had been repeatedly calculated and carefully deduced, Fu Yinzhao suddenly became suspicious.
He frowned, his eyes full of caution, and said in a deep voice: "Is this news really reliable? We cannot afford to make the slightest mistake in this layout. If we are not careful, the company will be doomed in the future."
His words were filled with worry about the situation and persistence in the correctness of the decision.
Gao Ke-ning, who was standing by, looked confident. He leaned forward slightly, patted his chest with his right hand, and said firmly, "Boss, don't worry. The source of this information has been screened through many levels. We have repeatedly verified it through many lines of evidence, and every detail has been confirmed again and again. There is absolutely no possibility of error!"
After saying this, his eyes sparkled, his posture was straight, and he exuded a firm aura that seemed to be able to penetrate the fog, as if announcing to Fu Yinzhao that this news was the reliable key to success.
Fu Yinzhao gently twisted his chin with his right hand, his eyes drooped slightly, and he fell into a brief and cautious thought.
After a moment, he raised his head, a trace of confidence flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Since the current situation is like this, we might as well raise the reserve price. How about directly bidding it to 405 million? This price can not only give us a greater advantage in this bidding and firmly grasp the victory, but also prevent us from taking too big a step and falling into a risky situation. It is a relatively safe decision."
Gao Ke-ning on the side frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.
He quickly went through all the potential pros and cons in his mind, not missing a single detail.
After a moment, he straightened his back, and with a tone of confidence and consideration, he said: "Mr. Fu, I think it would be more appropriate to mark it as 408.8 million. Think about it, this number is so auspicious. In Chinese culture, '8' means getting rich and prosperous, which is pleasing to the ear. And from the perspective of business negotiation psychology, this number can invisibly give competitors a sense of oppression, making them wonder about our confidence and strength, thus gaining the upper hand psychologically."
After listening to this, Fu Yinzhao was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he showed an approving look on his face. He nodded heavily, "Well, your idea is interesting. If you think about it carefully, it is just as you said, this number does have its subtlety. Besides, 405 million and 408.8 million are only a few tens of thousands of yuan apart, which has little impact on our overall budget. Okay, let's do as you said and set the bidding floor price at 408.8 million."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Their smiles were full of determination, as if they had seen the dawn of victory in advance. The scene of this successful bid was slowly unfolding before their eyes.
At the same time, in the spacious but now cramped conference room of the International Hotel, a heated debate about the fate of the company was in full swing.
There are different opinions on the key issue of whether 400 million should be used as the bid price.
At the solid wood conference table, people were either frowning in thought or making passionate speeches. The whole space was filled with a lively atmosphere of discussion.
One party firmly believes that 400 million has already reached the limit of the company's funds and risk tolerance. If one more cent is invested, once there are changes in the subsequent project, the company may fall into irreparable financial difficulties. The risk is so great that it is like dancing on the edge of a cliff.
The other party, with a determined look in their eyes, argued forcefully, advocating to increase the amount appropriately on the basis of 400 million, firmly believing that only in this way could they stand out in this fiercely competitive bidding and ensure winning the bid.
The hands of the clock on the wall moved relentlessly fast, and the final deadline was getting closer and closer, and every second that passed was clearly audible.
The urgency of time is like a cold sword of Damocles hanging high above our heads, emitting a terrifying deterrent force, making everyone's already tense nerves even more fragile and their mood even more anxious.
The meeting room was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and everyone's face was solemn.
