Chapter 194 US Emperor FCC certification
Think about 123. When it sold it to Baidu in 2004, it sold 50 million in cash. Of course, it also had some Baidu equity. As for how much it was, Su Jingzhen didn't know, but it definitely didn't reach 5%, because Baidu's annual financial statements were not disclosed.
Now, if Yisou's first round of financing is not lower than Yahoo, then it's more than 30 million US dollars, which is more than 30 million US dollars. This is the first round, and there are two rounds in the future. If everything goes well, the profits this website brings to Su Jingzhen will easily exceed 100 million US dollars.
And technically speaking, this kind of online navigation website does not require too high-end technology. It requires reputation and the number of users, so Su Jingzhen will not feel too reluctant to leave this website in his heart.
"What about Sequoia? That's the same price?" Joanna asked about the offer from another investor.
"I haven't said much there yet, saying that I have to come to negotiate." Su Jingzhen shrugged. Now he is on the initiative and doesn't care about those investors. First of all, he is not short of money. Secondly, Citi has intervened, so some well-informed investors will be moved. Although Sequoia is also a large investment institution, some of the same size as it is, such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan, etc.
"I think you should delay. According to your own judgment, if Netscape's listing is extremely successful, then the valuation of the Internet companies will increase when financing. It is best not to hurry first, you are not short of money, right?" Su Jingzhen has been in the United States for almost a year, and Joanna has not been a waste of time in this year, especially in business judgment, and has made great progress.
"Well, let's get in touch first. Isn't Netscape already on the roadshow? It's estimated that it will be listed around August. Let's delay it for two months." Su Jingzhen thought so in his heart. It was precisely because Netscape's listing was extremely successful that it kicked off the outbreak of the US Imperial Science Net Stocks.
Since even Joanna can judge the future situation, there is no reason to rush to bring investors in, although this judgment is based on Su Jingzhen's point of view.
"By the way, my cassette walkman has been successfully tested. So, is it better to apply for certification to you or directly find an agent?" Su Jingzhen remembered the Tianxing Walkman. If electronic products want to be sold in the United States, they must apply for UL certification and FCC certification.
"Leave it to the agent. These things are very troublesome. Not only do they need to be certified for the product itself, but they even need to be certified for the power plug, driver and so on before they can be launched on the market. I can't do so much by myself." Joanna is just a lawyer, not an omnipotent god, so sometimes she can't do anything.
"Okay, even VCD can be certified by the way." Su Jingzhen nodded. Now Joanna has worked as a legal counsel and chief financial officer. She has her own job in a law firm, so she is really too busy.
"Forget about vcd, you can't find the source of the video when you transport it here. What's the use of selling machines?" At this time, Joanna reminded Su Jingzhen that there are not so many pirated vcd discs in the US, and the machine may not be able to sell it when transported.
Su Jingzhen nodded, this is also the market for the US imperialists is very strange. The upgrade of the film source was directly upgraded from the video tape to the DVD, and the video tapes on their side still have a long life, which is longer than that of East Asian countries.
Although there were the emergence of vcd and super vcd in the middle, neither had an impact on the player market of the US imperialist player until the emergence of dvd.
"Okay, help me find an agent to apply for certification. If this product is launched in the United States and then transmitted back to China, it will improve the level of the product and will be of great help to sales." Su Jingzhen actually wanted to make the idea of exporting to domestic sales, because there was no way, and the mentality of domestic consumers at this time was like this.
"What about your mobile air conditioner? Don't you apply together?" Joanna remembers that there is another air conditioner under Su Jingzhen's name. In her opinion, this air conditioner still has a certain market, especially for those who often want to move, such an air conditioner is simply perfect.
As long as there is a window, the air-conditioner ventilation pipe can be installed on the window, and you can immediately enjoy a cool summer. If it is another type of air conditioner, installing a splitter is not a big problem. The key is that it will be moved away soon. Do you remove it or not?
Because the labor in the United States is particularly expensive, it can be said that the cost of installation and disassembly can be bought for a new air conditioner. If you disassemble it, it will be expensive. If you don’t disassemble it, it will be a waste of money.
So when this mobile air conditioner appeared in front of Joanna, she was really optimistic about its market. If she was poor, she would probably buy one like this and put it at home. She could just dismantle it by herself when moving.
"The air conditioner has not been studied well, and some key technologies have not been processed well, and the noise is relatively high. This will affect the quality of life when used. Engineers need some time to improve." Su Jingzhen said helplessly. As summer is coming, he is about to start summer vacation, but he doesn't know when the air conditioner can be ready. It's still a long way to go on the market.
"That's going to miss this summer's peak sales season." Joanna also thought of this problem and said with some regret.
"Oh, let's apply for the Walkman certification first, don't worry about the others." Su Jingzhen is not in the mainland now and cannot fully control the product research nodes. He can only hope that his parents and cousin can speed up.
Cousin Yuan Guanghua was a little confused now because since the second week, the number of phone calls from the customer service began to increase. There were quite a few small merchants who wanted to do wholesale. He asked the operator to try it out and found that they all wanted to get a hundred or dozens of Walkmans for trial sale, which was a bit strange.
I sent someone to the electronic market to ask. It turned out that many students went to some walkman stalls after school to find this walkman. The vendors had a very keen sense of market touch. They found that someone asked, and there were more than one. I immediately knew that this product might be a bit of a market, so I called directly according to the phone number on the advertisement.
"Cousin, you can't do this. You ask the operator to directly record the phone number of individual customers. When the product is launched, you ask them to go to our direct store so that a group of customers can be attracted." Jiang Xiuxia and Yuan Yongyi did not go back to Tongguan Town immediately after dinner, but stayed at the window to accompany her husband, so when this happened, she immediately gave her own opinions.
