Chapter 357 Unhappy? You have to hold it for me too!
Christmas is coming, and the whole of America is immersed in laughter and joy.
For ordinary people, it is naturally a big day; for businesses and companies, it is also a good time to make a fortune.
The Baz Doll Factory, a subsidiary of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, has seen sales continue to rise since its Children's Day. Although it is far less than that of the old toy giant Mattel Group, it is not afraid at all. During the Christmas holiday alone, Baz Dolls sold $550 million in the United States!
$550 million!
As soon as this sales data came out, the entire toy industry was in an uproar.
Mattel Group, a giant American toy company, said in amazement: "We missed a mountain of gold. It should have belonged to our Mattel like Barbie dolls, but now it has... become a strong enemy!"
"Don't underestimate it~"
you do not say!
You should know that Bryant Ben, the chief designer of Bazdoll, was originally a member of the design department of Mattel and worked for several years.
"Damn Juke Wald!"
A Mattel executive angrily said: "Even if designer Bryant Ben left Mattel, his Baz doll design was completed during Mattel's work. The full copyright of the Baz doll belongs to Mattel, and it is undoubtedly."
"How come... we actually sold the Baz doll for a mere $800,000..."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the executives of Mattel were ashamed.
“……”
A Barbie doll is successful, and a Barbie doll is defeated!
Mattel, which owns the most popular Barbie dolls in the world, has naturally made considerable profits and has been dominating for decades. But it is precisely because Barbie dolls are so successful that they simply look down on the so-called "anti-traditional" and "anti-Barbie" Baz dolls.
Heresy, evil spirit, absurd...
This is the definition given by Mattel executives to Baz dolls.
.........
Hasbro, another toy giant in the United States, was also deeply shocked.
"During the 11-day Christmas holiday, the sales of Baz dolls in America alone are as high as 550 million US dollars, which should not be underestimated."
"I just finished reading the sales data. In terms of sales of the single doll series, Baz dolls are second only to Mattel's Barbie dolls, and are more than $20 million higher than the $520 million sales of our Hasbro's Transformers toys, ranking second!"
The senior executives of Hasbro were naturally extremely angry when they were lagging behind.
Mattel has been self-consistent and has almost relied on Barbie dolls to draw blood in recent years;
Hasbro is committed to making progress, and its sales of toys such as Transformers, soldiers, and special forces are increasing day by day;
This is the impression the two companies have left on the public since the 1990s.
However, now this concept has been broken!
Zhuke's Baz doll factory has risen sharply and is showing an unstoppable momentum!
At the same time.
World-renowned toy giants such as Lego (Denmark), Bandai (Japan), Zhibi (France), Zhigao (Italy), etc., can't help but increase their attention to Bazette dolls.
Lego representative said: "Our Lego company almost has most of the toy licenses for the Warner DC superhero series. However, we have a slightly insufficient number of copyrights in the Marvel series superheroes, while Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group has the copyrights of multiple popular Marvel superheroes. I think... there will be a possibility of cooperation in the future."
Bandai said: "We have Mobile Suit Gundam, Saint Seiya, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Sailor Moon, and the Digital Tyrannosaurus that was just born this year. There is only one Baz doll in the Baz doll factory, so why do we fear it?"
Zhibi said: "Our company mainly develops infant toys, and it is committed to the market for girls aged 7 to 14, and there is no conflict."
Zhigao said: "Our opponent is Zhibi (France). Baz dolls are not competitive in terms of maternal and child products and toys!"
...
Looking around the toy giant companies around, only the Barbie dolls of toy giant Mattel are truly competing with Baz dolls.
Of course, there is also the Jenny doll from Japan!
Jenny Doll is a product that obtained the Barbie doll authorization from Mattel in 1982. Its appearance directly allowed Jenny Doll to travel across Japan and drive Barbie dolls out of the Japanese market. The overall price is much higher than that of Barbie dolls.
"Not bad, pretty good!"
The smile on Zucker's face never diminished throughout Christmas.
The sales of Baz dolls are increasing day by day, which makes Juke very satisfied. Even if it has not yet reached its peak in the future, its annual sales reaching $8 billion, but the future is promising!
.........
On this day, Zucker took the group's business jet Gulfstream g200 and arrived in New York successfully.
That's right, this time Zhuke did not take a public flight, but placed an order in May 1998 and just delivered the business jet Gulfstream g200 at the end of October 1999.
"I still have some small regrets."
"The Boeing 767, which cost me $110 million, will not be officially delivered until May 2000. The Gulfstream g200 is not as good as the Boeing 767."
Student Zhu Ke became a little proud.
The purpose of coming to New York is naturally to come for Dafeng Capital, in order to face the upcoming Internet bubble.
After breaking through the 3,000 point mark on November 3, the Nasdaq Index officially broke through 4,000 points on December 29 at a terrifying speed; today, the Nasdaq Index reached 4,200 points.
"When will the 5000-point index break through?"
This issue is the focus of recent attention in the financial field across the United States and around the world.
Many financial investment companies have invested heavily. Looking at the rising Nasdaq index, everyone's eyes are red!
An extremely huge, unprecedented benefit!
Zhuke had no choice but to ignore it.
Dafeng Capital Company.
Henry Jugenberg laughed: "Boss, the total equity we invested is currently worth $4.5 billion, which means that we will definitely make a big profit when we sell it now."
"And, in recent months, we have made a huge profit through trading methods, up to $130 million."
"Then your opinion?" Zucker asked.
As soon as Henry finished speaking, he looked entangled.
The speculation of Internet stocks with heavy money did make Dafeng Capital a big profit, but it was too scary. Once the situation in Nasdaq changes, Dafeng Capital will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and Henry has no choice but to ignore it.
"Boss, I think we should hold on for a while. Even if the Nasdaq collapses, I don't think it will happen in the near future, at least one year later. Therefore, we must not sell it now." Henry said gritting his teeth, his expression showing a hint of greed and hideousness.
Crashed in 1 year?
Man, you're thinking too much, it's only more than 3 months since the Nasdaq crash!
Zhuke couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
In fact, not everyone is blind to the Internet bubble that broke out in 2000. Many people are aware of the abnormality of the stock market and confirm that Nasdaq's Internet stocks will collapse, but most people did not expect that that day would come so quickly.
Greed blinds your eyes.
Zhu Ke said seriously: "Henry, I agree with your opinion and continue to hold these shares to invest, but... I do not agree with the one-year holding. When to sell Internet shares, my opinion must be based on my opinion."
Henry's face immediately changed and his fists clenched.
Dafeng Capital is currently a financial investment company with a partnership system, but Zucker still occupies an absolute controlling stake and has absolute rights.
If you are unhappy, you have to hold it in my mind.
Chapter completed!
