It didn't matter to Yu Zhou whether the latter Jiang Wanli had failed or disappeared.
At least for now, Wan Yan had definitely not completely declined.
For a company like this, the order from Wan Yan was perhaps more about learning than earning money for Yu Zhou.
After all, regardless of the sect's situation, Jiang Wanli was the inventor of VCDs. If he had been good at marketing, there wouldn't have been subsequent fierce competition for the VCD market.
At the very least, Wan Yan would have been among the strongest companies in the VCD market.
"You put it in such a way that I don't even know how to answer you now."
"With such immense benefits laid out before me, and as a businessman with aspirations to develop electronics, what reason would I have to refuse?"
Yu Zhou was very excited internally, but outwardly, he only managed a slight smile.
Regardless, this cooperation was a win-win situation.
He couldn't guarantee that everything the other party said could be fully implemented.
However, once the contract was signed, he would definitely fight for his fair share.
In such circumstances, he had no reason to refuse at this moment.
Of course, the current situation also left him no choice but to accept or refuse.
There were many things that were already completely in your hands. If you still refused to accept them, it would not just be an insult to yourself, but also a complete lack of respect to your collaborator.
"Since we decided to approach you, we definitely came with sincerity for cooperation. If we had no sincerity at all, why would we come directly to your factory to find you?"
Yu Sheng's words were very direct. If they had wanted to find a profit-seeking businessman to take over this project, it wouldn't have been difficult for anyone.
After all, although the investment for this project was only around three million, its current value was at least seven to eight million.
It was just that the scammer had directly borrowed ten million from the bank and fled.
In fact, if he had truly wanted to develop long-term, he would have earned more than he did by scamming the loan.
It was a pity, but a scammer was a scammer. They might understand tactics and weave all sorts of lies.
But they simply couldn't manage. If this large factory had been built, even scammers would have been unable to succeed.
It could only be said that there was specialization in each field. Yu Zhou, an old hand who had been in the business world for many years, could guarantee no losses, and even profit, under such support. However, it did not mean that others who took over could also make money.
"Don't worry, we will handle this matter perfectly for you, especially the order from Jiang Wanli. I have some personal connections with him, and as long as the major principles are not an issue, we can definitely facilitate the cooperation."
"After all, both you and Jiang Wanli are role models for local businessmen in Jiangbei."
"It's just that Old Jiang, that fellow, has always been unwilling to consider himself a businessman. He always felt that research was what he should be doing now. So, with the emergence of a large number of imitation VCDs, his situation hasn't been very good either."
As he said this, a hint of sadness flashed across Yu Sheng's expression.
Not so long ago, just a year ago, many people thought that Jiangbei was about to have a leading enterprise in the electronics industry.
According to the development of events, this was indeed the case.
By 1995, the sales of VCDs in the entire mainland had reached several million units, and were still showing greater growth.
However, Wan Yan, as the leading enterprise, had not managed to get a piece of this pie.
They hadn't even managed to get a small piece.
Last year alone, Wan Yan's shipment volume barely reached 100,000 units. While this number might not be small, and they were making a lot of money, compared to the entire industry, it was a genuine loss.
This situation made many people in Jiangbei sigh in regret, but what could they do if they were unwilling?
Currently, there was no absolute leader in the market, so Wan Yan was still highly anticipated.
However, Yu Zhou knew very clearly in his heart that this brand could only last for one more year, and at most one more year next year.
To last any longer after that would be a mere fantasy.
After all, both later players like BBK and mid-stage companies like Ai Duo launched terrifying marketing campaigns like a flood.
In this era, marketing and advertising were invincible divine weapons.
As a result, even Yu Zhou, unless he could gain significant benefits from Wan Yan, would absolutely not get involved in the competition in this market.
After all, the terrifying amount of money involved made even Yu Zhou's scalp tingle.
Moreover, he didn't believe that if he approached them and presented his audio effects methods and plans, they would agree.
The more a commercial empire slowly declines, the more cautious it becomes, and the more it fears making wrong choices.
Sometimes, it is precisely this hesitation that leads to a brand's complete decline.
"Boss Jiang is such a prominent figure. Even a starving camel is bigger than a horse. Moreover, he is the true inventor of VCDs, so I believe he must have some moves he hasn't used yet."
Yu Zhou said with a smile at this moment.
Although what he thought in his heart and what he said out loud were completely different, Yu Zhou was not the type of person who liked to dictate matters.
He couldn't just tell Yu Sheng at this moment that if Wan Yan had learned from him, started doing brand marketing, and heavily invested in advertising and promotion,
even if they couldn't become a top VCD enterprise, they could at least survive and become one of the giants?
If he said that, no one would believe him, and they would probably think he was too confident.
However, Yu Zhou knew better than anyone that if Jiang Wanli had done so, perhaps the Wan Yan brand could have achieved the same position as brands like BBK and Changhong.
It was just a pity that even though he knew this clearly in his heart, he also knew that he shouldn't say it.
At least not at this moment.
As for what would happen later, only time would tell.
No one could guarantee that with his involvement with Wan Yan, this brand might not be resurrected through his operations.
This kind of thing was not entirely impossible for Yu Zhou.
After all, sometimes Yu Zhou acted on impulse.
If he felt a connection, he would say anything, which was quite normal.
