CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 207 Shark Platform International Version

once Upon a time.

Lu Yiming is also a seasoned novel reader.

Following the direction of cutting-edge technology in the novel.

It seems someone is trying to steal the protagonist's technology.

Or perhaps the technology is so advanced that the protagonist will have to abandon it to ensure their safety.

The two were sent back that night.

After receiving calls from the two people and learning that they had only asked a few questions.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming said self-deprecatingly, "I was overthinking it!"

The next day.

The patent has been approved.

Normally, it wouldn't be surprising if this process took up to six months.

It's amazing that it was approved so quickly.

The main reason is that many industries urgently need to use this patent.

If it weren't for the Chinese New Year.

After contacting Cao Siyun and learning that the company had already given employees a holiday.

The heads of these companies have already lined up in front of Pangu Company.

However, the letter of intent for cooperation was sent to Cao Siyun's email address.

Cao Siyun was speechless after reading the contents.

It was then sent to Lu Yiming.

"There are seven letters of intent in total! The terms are all pretty much the same! What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Say something.

Cao Siyun felt she could sign any of the seven documents with her eyes closed.

We can currently send a letter of intent for cooperation.

This means that they are all registered with the patent office.

There will be no problem with the cooperation.

It's simply a matter of which company offers the better terms.

at this time.

Lu Yiming looked at the several contracts that Cao Siyun had sent on his computer.

They also felt that it didn't really matter which company they partnered with.

He immediately said, "I remember that Candle Dragon Company signed a cooperation agreement with the Patent Office, right? Since so many companies attach great importance to this patent, let the Patent Office people rack their brains over who gets it!"

Lu Yiming's business is already big enough.

Let him get distracted and start another company.

This is also adding more burden to Cao Siyun.

It was also because Cao Siyun had too many things to deal with at the moment.

After saying that, Lu Yiming continued, "By the way! Your main task after the New Year is to reorganize the resources of the companies under my name, and then register a group company. Once the group company is established, you will serve as its CEO!"

It's time to start a conglomerate.

Cao Siyun's current position is simply his secretary.

The actual work involved has already exceeded the scope of a secretary's duties.

Although no one in the company would say anything about it.

But outsiders have such great power over a secretary.

They'll still gossip a bit.

Upon hearing this, Cao Siyun was overjoyed.

It's fair to say she had been waiting for Lu Yiming to say those words for a very long time.

Secretary Cao's words are not as pleasant to hear as those of General Manager Cao.

He immediately replied, "Yes, Chairman! I'll make the arrangements right away!"

I could hear the joy in her voice.

Lu Yiming hung up the phone with a smile.

In Lu Yiming's view, the matter should end here.

I'm ready to spend the Lunar New Year with my family.

But what he didn't expect was.

I originally thought that leaving it to the patent office would save me a lot of trouble.

But the reality is more complicated.

The industries that can be covered by intelligent all-pneumatic bearing patents are very wide.

This technology is about 30% better than the pneumatic bearing patent used by the US.

It's a good thing that Lu Yiming has a broad perspective.

But we can't let him down.

After three seminars in one night.

The decision was made to follow the approach of Zhulong, with them leading relevant industry companies to cooperate with Lu Yiming and create a joint venture company centered on patents.

The 22nd.

Representatives from several related industry companies arrived in Changsha.

They joined forces with relevant local departments in Xingcheng and the Patent Office.

They arrived at Lu Yiming's company.

After receiving the notification, Cao Siyun reported to Lu Yiming and then brought Liu Zhenyun and Xu Qiyu to the meeting.

Lu Yiming did not offer any guidance.

Let Cao Siyun handle it.

The negotiations lasted for a week.

A consensus was finally reached on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

"President Lu! It's settled! We will re-register a new company using this patent and build a factory in Xingcheng. We have already signed supply orders with them. It is expected that we will set up seven production lines, with an annual output of about 300,000 sets per line. The factory construction costs will be covered by the payment for these orders."

These seven production lines.

It was prepared according to demand.

Bearings are an important component in modern mechanical equipment.

Its main function is to support rotating mechanical bodies, reduce the coefficient of friction during their movement, and ensure their rotational accuracy.

Currently, the domestic demand for bearings is approximately 20 billion sets per year.

The annual revenue of the entire industry reached 2278 billion yuan.

of course.

This is just a regular bearing.

Prices range from a few dollars and cents to over ten dollars.

Lu Yiming's pneumatic bearing.

The accuracy of this data surpasses that of any pneumatic bearing on the market.

Like the lithography machines independently produced in Japan.

The pneumatic bearings used inside are also imported.

The prices can be found online in their annual reports.

One is a thousand dollars.

Like some CNC machine tools in China.

It also uses imported pneumatic bearings.

The high price is one aspect.

The main measures will be to restrict import quotas and to differentiate between different groups for additional price increases.

For example, the price of goods from Japan is 1,000 dollars. If we want one, it's 1,000 dollars, but if we want ten, it's 1,200 dollars.

This is the most painful part of being held hostage.

But once Lu Yiming's factory is established...

The selling price hasn't been decided yet.

However, this can be determined through calculation.

After mass production, the cost of a set of pneumatic bearings can be reduced to around eighty yuan.

The annual production is more than two million sets.

This is already sufficient for the needs of related industries in China.

In fact, this thing is about to face the same situation as ballpoint pen refills.

Like the small steel ball in a ballpoint pen refill.

It turned out that they really couldn't manufacture them. Later, they were able to manufacture them but didn't want to. Finally, they were forced by netizens to manufacture a batch, and after that batch was manufactured, the production capacity became excessive.

The same applies to pneumatic bearings.

The current domestic market demand is actually not large.

The equipment needed is all equipment that requires high precision.

The domestic demand is two million units, while only one million units are exported from abroad each year, making the market appear very scarce.

Speaking of it.

Cao Siyun paused for a moment.

He then continued, "Regarding the pricing issue, the agreed-upon solution is a tiered approach: the first year's output will be based on 80% of the current import price, and the price will decrease year by year starting from the second year."

At this point, Lu Yiming interrupted, "Imported ones cost seven or eight thousand, right? Selling them at 80% of the cost price is just outrageous!"

Hear this.

Cao Siyun's expression turned rather helpless.

Normally, shouldn't the boss be happy to be able to negotiate this price?
At this moment, Cao Siyun said in a weak voice, "Then what do you mean, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yiming naturally knew that his behavior was somewhat idiotic.

You're a bastard who doesn't make money.

But sometimes it's okay to suffer a little loss.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yiming said, "My technology should be the best in the world, right?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Siyun gave her approval.

After all, it's something that makes these relevant companies come all the way here, even during the Chinese New Year, to get things done.

It is easy to see how important this technology is.

After receiving affirmation.

Lu Yiming said in a deep voice, "Then how about this! Expand the production line by ten! Aren't prices high in the overseas market? We'll use our own products to drive down the price! If they sell for $1000, we'll sell for $500! As for the domestic market, don't offer 20% off the import price in the first year, just offer 20% off our overseas price!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Siyun's mouth opened slightly.

Patents are essentially a form of monopoly.

Controlling pricing power is the first step to making money.

Lu Yiming's actions were an abandonment of his own advantages.

However, following Lu Yiming's approach, if they could secure foreign trade orders, the profits would be roughly the same as if they only focused on the domestic market.

Although this pricing strategy is somewhat detrimental to both parties.

But it can be a nuisance to foreign bearing companies.

That's not bad either.

At this moment, Lu Yiming thought of something.

He added, "By the way! These companies that manufacture air bearings are all listed companies, right? Let's short them before the announcement! That'll help cover our R&D costs."

If you just felt that Lu Yiming was a bit lacking in capital.

At this moment, Cao Siyun was inwardly exclaiming that President Lu truly had real capital!

Currently, Lu Yiming's intelligent air bearing has not been publicly announced.

Once this is announced, it will definitely be a major negative for those top-tier air bearing manufacturers abroad.

Upon hearing this, Cao Siyun smiled and said, "Okay! I know what to do! I'll get started on the arrangements right away!"

hang up the phone.

Lu Yiming exhaled a breath of stale air.

He hadn't expected this outcome for the patent.

The thought of having to work for another company...

Moreover, it's a manufacturing company.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but mutter with a strange expression, "I remember I only wanted to be a streamer at first!"

No wonder Lu Yiming sighed.

In the beginning, they still needed to rely on the rebirth dividend to obtain their first pot of gold for development from the lottery.

Today, I am about to become the CEO of a group company.

That's a really short time span.

After sighing.

He opened the data panel.

Secondary Profession (1): S-rank

Side job (2): Online novelist (Level B, 572407**/1.1 million)
Secondary Profession (3): Not unlocked (will be automatically unlocked when Secondary Profession 2 is upgraded to A rank.)
My secondary profession is now fully mastered.

Meanwhile, the deputy position level 2 will soon be upgraded to level A.

He has already typed out all the content for Battle Through the Heavens.

It starts with the Little New Year.

The daily update volume has been increased from the original 20,000 updates per day.

Increased to 40,000 words per day.

The current drafts can be updated for another two weeks.

Based on the current rate of subscription growth...

We expect to reach 8,000 subscribers by mid-to-late March.

At this moment, Lu Yiming looked at the unlocked secondary professions section.

He immediately smiled and said, "I'll be able to start a new secondary job soon. Which one should I choose this time?"

Qian Luyiming is not lacking at the moment.

In fact, just a few days ago, Tianen gave him another three percent of the shares in a company.

Lu Yiming originally planned to start a career related to the stock market as a deputy.

But then he thought about how money was becoming a major worry for him.

Lu Yiming gave up on the idea.

However, compared to this issue...

His biggest concern right now is probably the broadcast starting tomorrow.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

As agreed with his fans.

He should have started broadcasting on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

at this time.

It's already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

However, there has been absolutely no news about Lu Yiming's upcoming broadcast.

This made his fans anxious.

Many people left messages on his Douyin account or Weibo to inquire.

However, it was on this day that they made an unexpected discovery.

Lu Yiming's Fish Bar on the Shark platform has been released.

It's worth noting that after Lu Yiming's live streaming account was banned last September, he simply deleted the account after it was unbanned, resulting in the disappearance of his forum and live streaming room.

But at this moment, it appeared silently.

This excited many fans on the Shark platform.

at this time.

Lu Yiming did not start broadcasting.

But the gifts kept coming in the live stream.

Many viewers gave away their membership cards or highlighters.

Currently, all the top streamers on the Shark platform are not broadcasting.

This led to a rather comical situation on the Shark platform.

A live stream that wasn't even broadcasting suddenly became a trending topic and was featured on the platform's homepage.

This live stream room has no name and no profile picture.

Only room ID 4396
Lu Yiming did not sign a contract with the Shark platform.

He is a freelancer who is livestreaming.

However, they enjoy all the privileges that other streamers have.

They terminated their contract with the Douyin platform before the Lunar New Year.

The day came to the 6th.

At noon that day.

He finally announced his broadcast date.

It's 10:50 PM.

Viewers waiting in the live stream noticed this.

The live stream room finally has a name and an avatar.

This means that Lu Yiming is currently making preparations before the broadcast.

The number of comments immediately surged.

And at this time.

A system notification also appeared in Lu Yiming's mind.

【Ding! 】

[Host detected streaming on a new platform! Current secondary profession level is now S-rank! Activate the Legendary Streamer series quests?]

Legendary Streamer Series Missions?

Although Lu Yiming had some doubts upon hearing this, he still subconsciously and quickly agreed with his mind.

The system has never caused him any problems since it was first used.

Just agree to whatever it is and that's it.

【Ding! 】

[Open successfully! 】

[The Legendary Streamer Achievement Tasks section is now available in the system panel.]

[Please go and check!]

The data panel was always open.

The system broadcast ended.

A new sub-section appeared in the lower right corner of the data panel.

After concentrating your mind on it.

A task interface appeared in front of him.

There are a total of ten tasks displayed.

However, currently only Task 1 allows you to view the content.

Task 1: Achieve one million overseas followers on the Shark platform! (155/1 million) Reward: One set of Lucky Treasure Chest Max Gift Box (100~1000).

hiss~
Looking at the task, Lu Yiming gasped.

Let's not even talk about the reward gift box.

What's the story behind having 155 overseas fans?

At this moment, Lu Yiming looked towards the live stream backstage.

The data shows that there are currently more than 370,000 people in his live stream room.

It means that out of these 370,000 people.

155 people were watching his live stream from abroad?

He then opened the background of the live streaming software.

Here you can see a breakdown of the fan demographics.

Among them, the overseas audience accounts for less than one percent of the total fan base.

at the same time.
