Chapter 134: Lü Ming's Task

  I'm going, I just sent the wrong chapter, sorry!

  "Qī zǐ, eighty million, we only have eighty million. You need to hold on with eighty million until the end of this year. As for the subsequent investment, I'll think of a way to help you." These words were almost spoken through gritted teeth by Guō Xiǎo Yuè, he was resentful that they didn't have enough money. Although they said the initial investment was one hundred million, it couldn't all be paid out at once, or if something came up, they would completely lack emergency funds.

  Seeing Guo Xiaoyu's difficult expression, Qian Wenyi sighed and said: "Xiaoyu, the special effect is not as simple as you think. It involves not only electronics, but also architecture, modeling, robotics, and other aspects. Just gathering talent and purchasing equipment will cost around 50 to 60 million yuan. Later investments are countless. So, one hundred million, give me one hundred million, and I'll start working tomorrow with the goal of breaking even."

  "Nine million, Qi Zai, I indeed have 100 million in my hands, but this is all the funds we have. I need to leave some as a reserve, so I can only take out nine million at most. Qi Zai, trust me, I will definitely get the subsequent funds in place as soon as possible."

  "Alas..." Qian Wenqi could only nod in agreement, no choice, the two words "friend" were enough to make him agree. He now just wanted to go home and figure out how to explain it to Lu Shan. At that time, he had coaxed Lu Shan into coming back to China by saying that Guo Xiaoyu was going to invest 2 billion yuan in them, which is why Lu Shan came. But now it's only 900 million, not even half of the original amount. Thinking about Lu Shan's fierce personality, Qian Wenqi felt a chill run down his spine.

  "Alright, let's get moving then! Xiaowen, Qizai, you two can rest assured and boldly take action. I will definitely make sure the subsequent funds are in place as soon as possible." As he spoke, Guo Xiaoyu raised his water cup and said: "For our future, let's have a drink!"

  "Cheers!"

  Although no one in the scene is holding wine, their hearts are all drunk for the future.

  。。。。。

  After everyone else had left, Guo Xiaoyu kept Lü Ming behind alone.

  "Xiao Yu, what else can I help you with?"

  Guo Xiaoyu didn't answer him directly, instead asking: "Don't you think it's a bit strange that I called you here?"

  "Strange?" Lü Ming shook his head and said: "What's strange? I feel pretty good!"

  "You're pretending again." Guo Xiaoyu said: "I don't believe you can't feel it, I'm looking for you because there's something else going on."

  Lu Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, go ahead. The studio of Jin Zhiwen doesn't need me to intervene at all, but you insist on pulling me in, so just spill the bad water in your belly."

  Seeing Lü Ming's ambiguous smile, Guo Xiaoyu said: "Mingzi, you also heard it just now. Qi's investment in the later stage is quite large, which is an amount that I can't afford to take out at present, so I need your help."

  "Can I help?" Lü Ming pointed to himself and asked, "What can I do for you? Do you know that the stock market will crash on that day? If so, I can still help you raise a huge amount of funds in a short period of time. Otherwise, what can I do?"

  The stock market, this thing, Guo Xiaoyu had thought about it, and indeed, making money from it is quick, but he was completely clueless about the other aspects! He was totally in the dark about information on this aspect, where would he know what's going on?

  Guo Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "What I'm talking about is not the stock market, but the real economy."

  "What about a physical business?" Lü Míng asked curiously: "What to do? The fastest way to make money in the physical industry is real estate, but the investment is large and the time is not short."

  "Not real estate." Guo Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "We do glasses, the business of making glasses frames and lenses."

  "Glasses?" Lü Ming thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a lucrative business, but the domestic glasses market has already become quite mature. We can't squeeze into the low-end market, and high-end Chinese consumers only trust imported products and won't believe in domestically-made goods. If we were to create our own brand, there would be no market for it. And if we were to make someone else's brand, just the licensing fees alone could bankrupt us. This won't work."

  "Who says it won't work? We can create our own import brand!"

  "I didn't say anything just now, we can't afford the copyright fee."

  "Who says we have to pay royalties?"

  Looking at Guo Xiaoyu's confident appearance, Lü Ming couldn't help but feel some anticipation. Did Guo Xiaoyu really have a way to obtain the copyright without paying the copyright fee?

  "Actually, how many high-end glasses are really imported?" Guo Xiaoyu said categorically: "Ninety percent of them are domestically produced, and some materials are even used domestically, just owning a copyright. And this copyright issue, why do we have to buy someone else's copyright? Why can't we use our own copyright?"

  "What did you say?" As soon as Guo Xiaoyu said this, Lü Ming understood. At the same time, Lü Ming felt that the person who came up with this idea was either a madman or a genius. In fact, what Guo Xiaoyu said was very simple: set up a shell company for eyeglass manufacturing abroad, and then conduct the actual manufacturing domestically, before heavily promoting it as an imported product through advertising. This way, there would be no need to purchase any copyrights at all.

  Lü Ming couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiao Yu, have you gone mad? This is commercial fraud, you're going to end up in court!"

  "What business deception." Guo Xiaoyu sneered and said: "Our materials are all imported from abroad, just processed domestically. Nowadays, the processing of those so-called imported products in China is also done domestically. As long as we guarantee our own quality issues, we can rest assured." In fact, Guo Xiaoyu's move was learned from a glasses lens manufacturing company in his previous life. This company relied on this trick to become the champion of domestic glasses sales that year. If it weren't for the company being too greedy and directly purchasing materials domestically, only to be reported, perhaps this company could have become the leader in China's glasses manufacturing industry.

  "What are you going to do now?" Lü Ming thought for a moment, Guo Xiaoyu's move was actually exploiting the loophole in the law. Regarding glasses, there is no legislation in place domestically yet. Even if this matter is exposed later, as long as Guo Xiaoyu uses genuine imported materials, others won't be able to catch him. This matter will ultimately end with nothing happening. With that thought, Lü Ming decided to take action!

  When Lv Ming said this, Guo Xiaoyu smiled and said: "First, you need to go to Germany to register a spectacle lens production company, then go to the UK to register a spectacle frame production company. After that, find a domestic factory that urgently needs to be transferred, take over the production of spectacle lenses and frames, and what to do next is up to you, I believe in you!"

  "Go on! You really are!" Lü Ming pointed at Guo Xiaoyu and said: "Special effects, music studio, and now the glasses, you're treating them like a careless boss." Although Lü Ming was saying this with his mouth, he still left with the remaining 200 million funds of Guo Xiaoyu. He can be said to have control over Guo Xiaoyu's future now, so he absolutely cannot fail.

  PS: First of all, I must clarify that Guo Xiaoyu is absolutely not a dark attribute! This approach is very common in various industries, not just glasses, clothing and other industries also have many. Many domestic first-line big brands are based on this trick to start their business!
