Chapter 215 Who thinks money is too much?
"Who would have thought that the official media would spend so much effort to praise an internet celebrity?" Xu Fang sighed.
Xu Youyou nodded. The official media has always paid special attention to online public opinion. In recent years, they have attached great importance to protecting traditional culture and have long wanted to present the country's business card to the world.
Xu Youyou was also surprised that Qing Yatou's video caught the attention of the official media so quickly.
"The beauty of intangible cultural heritage and unique craftsmanship" are the headlines of the newspaper in Xu Youyou's hand, and the accompanying picture is a photo of Qing Yatou wearing Hanfu and making ink strips.
What Xu Youyou didn't expect was Xie Ran.
"Boss, do you still remember our small business? We used to sell things like electric bikes and pressure cookers. Before you filmed the video, I had someone stock up on a lot of Hui ink, and now it's selling like hotcakes overseas."
Xu Youyou was stunned when she heard this. She had almost forgotten about this small business of "arms dealer". She didn't expect Xie Ran was still thinking about it. He could obviously start his own business, but he still worked diligently and put Xu Youyou first.
"How much did you earn?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xie Ran casually said, "Boss, do you want to know how much the ink stick business has earned? The ink stick business has earned 50 million in the past few days."
"How much? How much stock do you have?" Xu Youyou thought she had misheard.
Even if Qing Yatou's video becomes popular abroad and spreads widely, she won't make that much money.
Xie Ran casually said, "Foreigners are also superstitious. When they hear that this Hui ink can bring good luck, foreign friends rush to buy it."
Xu Youyou: ...
She also didn't expect that superstition was a common problem among people all over the world.
“Furthermore, our pricing is also on the high side.”
Xu Youyou listened to Xie Ran and asked cautiously, "How high did you set the price?"
"The marked price directly multiplied the domestic price tenfold."
Foreign trade is a highly profitable industry, and Xu Youyou felt that the price did not seem particularly outrageous.
But Xie Ran added: "Then the currency unit was changed to US dollars."
Xu Youyou immediately calculated: seventy times!
She suddenly felt that being a profiteer also required a strong mental quality. She always felt uneasy when selling something worth a hundred yuan for seven thousand yuan.
Xie Ran didn't feel embarrassed at all, but said, "Don't worry, Boss. Although our prices are high, the quality of our products is acceptable, and the packaging is also very beautiful. Those foreigners love them so much that they even have to thank us!"
Xu Youyou felt that she had found Xie Ran, which was truly a treasure. She once again emphasized the importance of this business: "Well, are the other products selling well?"
Xie Ran was quite knowledgeable when it came to business, explaining, "Boss, although we're not specialized in foreign trade and haven't been in the business long, we have strong capital and a wide range of products. We've also built a reputation overseas, and our other businesses have a stable customer base. We can make at least 100 million in profit every month."
Xu Youyou's breathing tightened. For a moment, she didn't know what words to use to praise Xie Ran. She could only say that he was worthy of being a top billionaire in the future, and his brain was really useful.
"Boss, Peter's game has finally completed its year-end settlement last year. He called me yesterday and said the funds might be remitted to China in the next few days."
Xu Youyou felt like the good news today seemed to be endless: "How much is it?"
"You are the major shareholder of the game company, and you hold the largest share. After deducting the reserved operating funds and taxes for this year, 20 billion US dollars will be deposited into your domestic account."
Xu Youyou suddenly felt that the previous 50 million and 100 million were too weak. 2 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 14 billion RMB!
The key point is that this game has only been online for half a year and has not yet reached its peak!
No wonder people say that big companies in the gaming industry are cash cows. She just bet on a hit game, and the money she invested previously was returned tenfold or a hundredfold. There will be a steady stream of funds deposited into her account in the future.
Xie Ran said, "Boss, we had no experience last year, so we should have established several companies abroad earlier."
Xu Youyou asked without hesitation: "Why do you want to set up a company abroad?"
"To avoid taxes. You received the dividend as an individual and paid nearly half of the tax. If you set up a few charitable foundations, I am sure you can pay at least 20% less in taxes." Xie Ran explained.
Xu Youyou suddenly felt pained when she heard this. If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have lost hundreds of millions of US dollars.
"Mr. Xie, I feel uncomfortable when you say that. Please give me some good news to cheer me up!" Xu Youyou said anxiously.
Xie Ran on the other end of the phone couldn't help but laugh. "The other news is just small news. Teacher Xiao Song has just been nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Golden Deer Awards. He's still too young, and this is his first TV series, so he probably won't win."
Xu Youyou nodded casually. After careful calculation, she had only invested tens of millions in Song Zhibai, but after becoming a top star, the profit it brought her was already hundreds of millions.
"Teacher Xiao Song's new TV series has also been sold. It has a total of 20 episodes, and each episode costs 30 million. It has broken the record for the unit price of domestic TV series." Xie Ran said.
Xu Youyou immediately calculated it. Six hundred million! She remembered that Song Zhibai's TV series was an urban idol drama, and the script was written by Su Wanyi.
Song Zhibai is an artist of the company, so his salary is not high. The total cost of filming is just over 50 million.
Selling 600 million yuan in one go means the company has already made back ten times its investment before the film even aired.
For a long time, the price of ancient costume dramas in the TV drama market has been higher than that of modern idol dramas. The reason is simple: ancient costume idol dramas are more likely to become popular.
The last time modern idol dramas became popular in the country was eight years ago.
The fact that the film buyer is willing to pay such a high price shows how optimistic they are about this TV series.
"Boss, Aunt Li's account is now profitable and can earn a small million every month."
Xu Youyou was happier to hear this news than Song Zhibai had earned 600 million yuan: "You must tell Aunt Li about this."
Aunt Li, who raises cats and dogs in her villa in the capital, always felt that she was taking advantage of Xu Youyou. Now that the account is profitable, Aunt Li can raise the cats and dogs more calmly.
Xu Youyou has heard Xie Ran report the profit news several times in this month, but she still never gets tired of listening to it. After all, who can refuse the good news of making a lot of money again?
"Boss, Miss He doesn't dare to disturb you on your vacation, so I wanted to ask you, since you're staying in Huangshan now, do you have any of Mr. Cheng Dawei's old things? I heard that someone came to the He family and wanted to collect one or two of Mr. Cheng's things."
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows when she heard that. It was like a pillow appeared right when she dozed off. She just didn't know how to deal with Cheng Dawei's conspiracy, but she didn't expect the He family to come to her for help.
