Chapter 80 Small Investment, Big Return (Subscription Request)

"Mr. Liu, I very much agree with your point of view. It is generally believed that North America, especially Canada and the United States, widely uses air conditioners due to their high level of development, and the demand for fans is not great. But in my opinion, this may not be entirely true. You must have personally experienced the world oil crisis in 1973, and you must remember those days clearly, right?" Lin Haoran asked Liu Luanxiong with a smile.

Liu Luanxiong nodded slightly and said with emotion: "Indeed, I was studying in Canada at the time. The oil crisis left an indelible impression on me. It changed a lot."

"Now, Iran's domestic situation is turbulent, and the shadow of civil war is lingering. If the war really breaks out, I am afraid that the historical scene of the oil crisis will be repeated. In addition, your company AMG has seen a steady increase in orders in North America in the past six months, which undoubtedly means that the fan market in North America has huge potential.

In addition to the potential threat of an oil crisis, energy shortages will become a reality, and the demand for energy-saving products, especially fans, is bound to increase significantly. Under such circumstances, the small workshop-style business model may not be able to quickly capture and meet the huge market demand, limiting the expansion of profit margins. "Lin Haoran also gave his own ideas.

In fact, a small number of people in the international community are already worried about this, but Iran's demand for foreign oil has not decreased, so the crisis will naturally not break out. Even if there are concerns, they are just speculation.

But in the future, no one knows whether the second oil crisis, which is likely to break out, will actually happen!
But Lin Haoran knew, and was very sure, after all, he came from the future.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect that we would have the same idea. It's an honor!" Liu Luanxiong's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Haoran's analysis.

This is not only a recognition of Lin Haoran's personal insight, but also means that the two have reached a high degree of consensus on their judgment of the future of the North American market.

"Mr. Liu, I would like to put forward a personal idea. The consumer groups in the North American market, especially Canada and the United States, are relatively more affluent and they have a higher pursuit of quality of life.

Therefore, even though the demand for fans is huge, consumers will tend to choose products that are both practical and design-oriented.

I think that if we can innovate the appearance of fans and break the shackles of traditional design, such as using retro design elements to create fans with the charm of the times, such products are likely to shine in the market and be enthusiastically sought after by consumers. "Lin Haoran continued.

In fact, this is what Liu Luanxiong did later. For this, he accumulated wealth of over 100 million Hong Kong dollars in just two years. Lin Haoran specifically mentioned it just to make Liu Luanxiong feel that they had the same idea.

Just as Lin Haoran thought, Liu Luanxiong felt indescribable excitement when he heard this.

These ideas actually coincide with his personal preferences. He is a fan of retro sentiments.

As early as when he was running the family fan factory, he had thought about incorporating retro elements into fan design countless times. Unfortunately, none of his father and elders supported his approach.

After starting his own business, he was still in debt, and due to the current stage of development of the factory and market risk considerations, he never dared to try.

Although the factory was making steady progress, it had not yet reached a point where it could support his comprehensive design reform.

But he had already made a plan in his mind. Once the factory was bigger, he planned to apply his retro hobby to the appearance design of the fan products. This might make them different from the fans on the market and thus more competitive.

"Mr. Lin, your idea is really great. I totally agree with your concept!" Liu Luanxiong became more and more interested in cooperating with Lin Haoran.

Ever since he disagreed with his father and decided to start his own business, he has been determined to prove himself and vowed to make a career in the business world and prove to his family with practical results that his choice was correct.

However, time flies, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the factory's order volume continued to grow, its performance was gratifying, and it was even so busy that it was almost overwhelmed, Liu Luanxiong still felt a little anxious.

In his opinion, this speed of development seemed far from what he had expected.

He and his friends borrowed funds in the early stages of their business, and only paid off their debts some time ago. Now they are penniless.

He understood that in order to truly realize the grand blueprint in his mind, expanding production scale and improving market competitiveness were the only way.

But given the current situation, how long will it take to expand the production scale?

In fact, he has so many orders that he can't handle them all. The scale of Keai Meigao is so small, they started from too low a level, and expansion is not something that can be done overnight.

Therefore, faced with those orders that had to be abandoned due to insufficient funds, Liu Luanxiong could only sigh helplessly. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he could do nothing about it.

After all, the reality of the financial difficulties forced him to make compromises.

As for his father, he is still immersed in his dissatisfaction with his choice. Although more than half a year has passed, the two are still in a cold war, and he only contacts his mother occasionally.

Although asking his father for help might temporarily ease the financial pressure, Liu Luanxiong's pride and self-esteem prevented him from taking this step.

He once vowed to make a name for himself through his own efforts, and this persistence made him reject any idea of ​​relying on his family.

Lin Haoran's appearance was like a ray of light, penetrating the haze in Liu Luanxiong's eyes.

The two people's ideas coincided, which gave Liu Luanxiong confidence in the cooperation.

Liu Luanxiong understood that this was not just a simple business partner, but also a precious opportunity for him to realize his dream and accelerate his development. Therefore, he has decided to seize this opportunity, which will definitely enable him to develop at a faster pace.

In his mind, this will be an important turning point in his career, allowing him to rise faster and prove his strength and value to the family.

As for his friends, since they have different ideas from him, they can only go their separate ways.

He has made the decision, and he is very grateful to his current partner for coming forward to start a business with him when he needed it most. But since his friend does not know how to adapt, there is nothing he can do. Liu Luanxiong would rather follow his own inner thoughts, which is to speed up the pace of development.

"It seems that we have a very pleasant conversation. In that case, Mr. Liu, how do you plan to get me to cooperate with you?" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, after careful consideration, I think there are two feasible options for cooperation. The first is that Mr. Lin directly acquires the equity of my partner Mr. Liang Yingwei; the second is that I transfer my equity in Aimego to Mr. Liang, and then we set up a new company.

At present, the equity structure of Aigo is that Mr. Liang Yingwei and I each hold 50%. Mr. Lin, what do you think of these two plans? "Liu Luanxiong smiled and threw the question to Lin Haoran.

After hearing this, Lin Haoran thought for a moment and asked, "If I choose to buy Mr. Liang's shares, how much money do I need to prepare?"

"How about 200,000 Hong Kong dollars? If Mr. Lin offers 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, I think my friend will agree." Liu Luanxiong thought for a while and said.

When they first founded Aigo, their investment was indeed relatively limited, and the company is still in its growth stage. If assessed based on actual value, HK$100,000 might be enough to cover that half of the equity.

However, Liu Luanxiong was very clear that his friend Liang Yingwei might not easily accept such a price. After all, this ignored Liang Yingwei's hard work and support for him during the entrepreneurial process.

But if the price could be doubled, Liang Yingwei would definitely agree, so that he could repay Liang Yingwei for supporting his entrepreneurship.

"20? Okay, I can afford this money. I will use 20 Hong Kong dollars to buy Mr. Liang's shares in Aigo. I just want to expand the production scale of Aigo. How much money does Mr. Liu think I should continue to invest? After I continue to invest this money, how do we calculate our equity?" Lin Haoran once again raised a series of questions.

After all, since he continues to invest money, his equity cannot remain unchanged. He is not a philanthropist.

After listening to Lin Haoran's words, Liu Luanxiong pondered for a moment, and then said sincerely: "Mr. Lin, at present, Aimego Company wants to expand its production scale, mainly focusing on moving to a larger factory and expanding human resources.

I think if we invest HK$1 to HK$2 million, it will be enough to meet the current expansion needs and expect the order volume to surge more than tenfold.

Moreover, as market feedback changes positively, we can flexibly adjust our strategies and further expand our production scale appropriately.

Regarding the equity structure after financing, I have a humble request. If possible, I hope to receive half of your investment as my loan.

In this way, we can ensure that the company obtains the necessary financial support and maintain the balance between you and us in the equity structure to a certain extent.

At the same time, I promise to return the money to you as soon as I have enough money in the future, to ensure that our cooperation is based on mutual trust and win-win results. "

Liu Luanxiong's words not only expressed his confidence in the company's future development, but also took into account his respect for the interests of partners. At the same time, he also proposed his own solution, which was enough to maintain the equal cooperation relationship between the two parties.

Naturally, he did not want his shares to be diluted, otherwise his cooperation with Lin Haoran would not be of much significance.

Originally, Liu Luanxiong thought that Lin Haoran would refuse. After all, many people are not satisfied when it comes to interests.

What's more, if he can't pay back the loan, the other party will be taking a big risk.

What Liu Luanxiong didn't expect was that Lin Haoran actually agreed readily.

"Okay, I agree to your condition!" Lin Haoran answered directly without any hesitation.

For him, the investment of 220 million was far below his expectations. In fact, this amount was just a piece of cake for him.

He thought to himself that if such a sum of money could be converted into hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profit within two years, then this investment would undoubtedly be extremely cost-effective, and could be described as a small investment with a big return.

Even if the final profit fails to reach hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars are a sure thing.

After all, Lin Haoran had heard about Liu Luanxiong's entrepreneurial journey and path to success in his previous life, and he was very confident about this.

"Mr. Lin, then our cooperation is settled. I will go back tonight and discuss this matter with my friend Mr. Liang. He will definitely agree to sell his shares for HK$200,000. After I finish talking to him, I can sign the contract directly with Mr. Lin tomorrow!"

Liu Luanxiong seemed extremely anxious at this moment. He urgently wanted to settle the matter so that Aimego could quickly enter the fast lane of rapid development.

The current slow and tiring state of development is unbearable for him, and he is eager to see the company rejuvenate with new vitality.
