A person's attitude in speaking already represents some of his views.
Manager Hao’s use of the word “stuff” has proven that he actually disdains Yueting MP3.
Chen Xiao is a second-generation person and has long been a veteran. It may be difficult to cooperate with department stores.
Zhou Linghua said with a smile: "It's not difficult to do business, why don't you have more flowers? Manager Hao, Yueting MP3 is definitely a phenomenal product. It is lighter than CD players and Walkmans, and there is no need to buy tapes or CDs. The price of a single investment is
Although it is a bit more expensive, it is very convenient for consumers to use it for a long time.”
Manager Hao raised his hand and stopped Zhou Linghua.
"Mr. Zhou, you also know that our department store is the largest shopping mall in Jiangzhou. All counters are planned at the beginning of the year. Each counter also has suppliers behind it. These are all under contract. Now you let me alone
Setting up a counter for you is very difficult."
Zhou Linghua was a little unhappy and wanted to speak, but Manager Hao stopped him and said: "Do you think this will work? Our department store sells the Little Overlord learning machine. Let me tell them at the counter, what is the one that sells you on behalf of you... Three?
I won’t charge you the rent or management fee for the counter, whatever you sell is yours.”
When Manager Hao said this, Chen Xiao was shocked.
Manager Hao is not too old, in his forties, so he should not be a particularly old-fashioned person.
But his words have a strong style of state-owned enterprise leaders in the 1990s.
To put it nicely, it means acting according to the rules, abiding by the system, and being cautious and meticulous.
To put it bluntly, it means being pedantic, unwilling to accept new things, and stuck in its ways.
Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Manager Hao, CDs and Walkmans will be eliminated soon. MP3 represents the consumption trend of young people. At present, only Sony, Samsung and other major foreign brands are making MP3s. Domestic ones are still being produced.
No, so it’s very expensive.”
Chen Xiao: "Our Lingyue product has brought the price of MP3 to less than 1,000 yuan for the first time. The potential of the product is very great."
Manager Hao waved his hand and said: "The rules are the rules. These are the rules of the department store. I can't break it, right? Let's do this. You want a professional counter and come to apply in December. I will find a way to get you there at that time.
Include it in next year’s plan.”
Chen Xiao looked at the ceiling helplessly. He had given up cooperating with the department store.
In Chen Xiao's memory before his rebirth, he had never seen this department store. In the booming wave of specialty stores, commercial streets and pedestrian streets, as well as the wave of Internet shopping, department stores were so dead that no corpses could be found.
Chen Xiao said: "Mr. Zhou, let's go."
Little did he know that Zhou Linghua did not give up. He said to Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang: "Manager Hao and I still have something to discuss."
Chen Xiao knew that Zhou Linghua was making his final struggle.
Why.
Let him be.
Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang walked out.
Wang Xiang was indeed a technical man and asked: "What is Zhou Linghua doing?"
Chen Xiao shrugged and said, "Let's talk business."
Zhou Linghua had already prepared an envelope worth 2,000 yuan. After Chen Xiao and Wang Xiang left, he stuffed it into Manager Hao's bag and said, "Manager Hao, for your convenience, it's just a matter of a counter."
Zhou Linghua has placed all his hopes for Linghua's future on MP3, and this must happen.
Unexpectedly, Manager Hao jumped up and quickly refused: "Mr. Zhou, what are you doing!"
"No, no, really no, I appreciate your kindness. We are doing things according to the rules."
"I appreciate it! I appreciate it!" Manager Hao didn't give Zhou Linghua a chance.
As the two sides pulled each other, Zhou Linghua saw an envelope under Manager Hao's seat. This was obviously a red envelope from someone who didn't know who it was!
The atmosphere was awkward now.
Manager Hao opened the office door directly and said, "I still have something to do, so you can go back first."
Zhou Linghua was a little embarrassed now, and only Cancan took back the envelope.
It's not that Manager Hao doesn't take in oil and salt, it's that Zhou Linghua's method is wrong.
People like Manager Hao do like money, but he dare not accept money from people who are not acquaintances.
If Zhou Linghua wasn't so anxious, he could find a middleman who was more familiar with Manager Hao, make an appointment to have a meal, get a massage, and give him gifts, then this thing should be done.
Walking out of the office, Zhou Linghua saw a new counter being set up in the middle of the department store for a certain brand of radio.
Zhou Linghua couldn't help but scolded: "This old fox, didn't he say that he won't be able to change the counter until next year?"
Only then did Zhou Linghua realize that he should find a middleman.
"It's too difficult to do things!" Zhou Linghua couldn't help but sigh.
Everywhere is like a mountain, Zhou Linghua thought about how difficult it was when he started his own business in the machine tool field.
"Chen Xiao, we have suffered setbacks at the beginning! It's not that the market doesn't recognize it, it's that the market doesn't give us a chance to recognize it."
Chen Xiao touched his chin with his hand, thinking about this problem.
Different times have different ways of dealing with problems.
In the past, it was the era of mobile Internet. As long as your product was excellent, it was too easy to promote it. Just find a few Internet celebrities to promote and sell it, and follow the rhythm. Even if your product is a piece of shit, people will buy it.
This is not possible now, the speed of information transmission is too slow.
"What method should be used... Is there any way to quickly promote it nationwide..."
Advertising using whiteness and 11181 is one aspect. There must always be a product to display.
2000…
2000…
Chen Xiao searched for information about the year 2000 in his mind, and suddenly two words popped out!
There is a way!
Beginning in the late 1990s, traditional people's malls or department stores began to decline because of the rise of new forces!
In July, this new force just broke the price monopoly in the color TV industry and gave people a new way to shop! It also received strong attention from national media.
This new force will expand crazily in the next few years, until the emergence of online shopping malls opens another new era.
Gome Electrical Appliances!
Huang Guangyu!
How could I forget such a legendary figure and such a legendary home appliance sales chain?
Chen Xiao was a little excited. In 2000, Guomei was expanding and had just opened its first store in Jiangzhou at the beginning of this year.
Gome's competitors are traditional people's shopping malls and department stores.
Chen Xiao took an MP3 and said: "Brother Xiang, you go back first, I have something else to do."
After saying that, Chen Xiao hailed a taxi.
"Master, go to Gome Electric Appliances."
If this matter is negotiated and the channels are opened, then the Lingyue brand will really come alive.
