As the big boss of the company, Chu Tianyao came in person, which naturally made all the employees in the office frightened.
Everyone knows that the Rongcheng office was established by Chu Tianyao and is the core department of Xingyao Winery in Sichuan Province.
Since Chu Tianyao left, the size of the office has continued to expand, and now it occupies two entire floors in a commercial building in Chengdu.
Even Luo Jin has given suggestions many times. It is estimated that the Chengdu office will be changed to the Chengdu branch soon.
In the office.
Except for Lu Qiuyu, Chen Jiang and others could only wait outside, waiting for Chu Tianyao's orders at any time.
"Since Sister Liu Na is in Chengdu, why don't you go see her first?"
Lu Qiuyu sat behind the familiar assistant's desk and asked Chu Tianyao curiously.
In her opinion, Chu Tianyao's return to Chengdu should have come specifically for Liu Na.
"Who told you that I came to see her?"
Behind the desk, Chu Tianyao looked through a pile of documents, and then threw one of the documents onto Lu Qiuyu's desk without raising his head.
"Look at this, this is what we are going to do next in Chengdu."
"What to do in Chengdu?"
Lu Qiuyu was also startled when he heard this. Nowadays, almost everything in Xingyao Liquor Industry is handled by Zhou Yi and a few people. Why must Chu Tianyao, the hands-off shopkeeper, do it?
With doubts, Lu Qiuyu glanced at the document in her hand, and then she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Sichuan Province VCD market research report?"
Lu Qiuyufeng's eyes widened and she said with a bit of surprise.
Thanks to Chu Tianyao, what he wants to do when he comes to Chengdu this time is related to Xingyao Technology.
"This is the market research I had people do in Sichuan Province some time ago."
Chu Tianyao said.
Lu Qiuyu laughed: "If I remember correctly, we haven't opened up the sales channels in Sichuan Province yet. Wanyan Company's target in Anhui Province is not in Sichuan Province. It is obviously a blank market and what market research needs to be done.
?”
Wan Province is located in the central region and is also the sales center of Wanyan Company. As for the southwest region, Wanyan's current production and channel capabilities cannot cover it for the time being.
The one with the greatest hope of capturing the market in the Southwest is naturally Xingyao Technology.
Therefore, in Lu Qiuyu's view, Chu Tianyao's market research report is somewhat unnecessary.
"Please take a closer look. If it's true as you said, I don't need to put in all this effort."
Chu Tianyao smiled playfully.
These words also made Lu Qiuyu's heart skip a beat.
"Why, is it possible that another Wanyan Company has popped up?"
Lu Qiuyu said in surprise, and then carefully read the research report in his hand.
The so-called market research has only three purposes.
The first is the market's view of its own products, the second is the market's view of competitors and potential substitutes, and the third is the market's view of consumption prospects.
The market research Chu Tianyao had people do was quite satisfactory.
After reading it, Lu Qiuyu was surprised to find that nearly 10% of the respondents had purchased VCD products in the local market in Sichuan Province.
According to market research reports, there are currently as many as a dozen different brands of VCD products in the VCD market in Sichuan Province, and the prices are generally much cheaper than the VCDs of Xingyao Technology.
"How can this be?"
When she saw this, Lu Qiuyu lost her voice and said in surprise.
"Counterfeit goods can be cheaper than our products. These so-called manufacturers must have made imitations of our compatible machines!"
After being surprised, Lu Qiuyu quickly reacted.
"Although I had expected this, I didn't expect these copycat manufacturers to move so quickly."
On the side, Chu Tianyao lowered his head and lit a pipe.
Bad money driving out good money happens every day in the market, and Chu Tianyao has seen it a lot. The number of genuine manufacturers defeated by these copycat manufacturers in history has ranged from a thousand to eight hundred.
"what should we do?
If we lose the market in Sichuan Province, it will be difficult for the entire southwest market to gain a foothold!"
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lu Qiuyu asked Chu Tianyao.
"In fact, copycat manufacturers have begun to appear even in Sichuan Province, and it is conceivable that other regions are also starting to appear."
Chu Tianyao blew out a smoke ring, and although the expression on his face was solemn, there was no panic.
"Tell me about your method. Since you are returning to Chengdu at this time, you must have already planned to deal with these copycat manufacturers, right?"
Lu Qiuyu looked at the person in front of him and continued to ask.
Since this market research report was made by Chu Tianyao, it means that Chu Tianyao has already expected it. Based on her understanding of Chu Tianyao's step-by-step approach, I am afraid that the other party has already prepared countermeasures.
"I have asked David Yu to set up the legal department of Xingyao Technology. We hold the patent rights of compatible machines. There is no way to deal with these copycat manufacturers."
As soon as Chu Tianyao's words came out, Lu Qiuyu was happy at first, but then shook her head.
"There are more than ten copycat manufacturers in Sichuan Province alone. If you go to sue each one, how long will it last?
Even if we can win the lawsuit, it will still take a lot of energy for us.”
Lu Qiuyu hesitated.
Her worries are certainly justified. If copycat manufacturers are so easy to deal with, Huaqiangbei will not be able to develop at a rocket-like speed in the future.
Even domestic products have been associated with the word "cottage" for a while.
"Of course it is not advisable to injure oneself by one thousand and injure the enemy by eight hundred, but with the patent rights in our hands, we can negotiate terms with these copycat manufacturers."
In the office, Chu Tianyao suddenly smiled.
"Negotiate terms with them?"
When Lu Qiuyu heard this, she was even more puzzled.
A genuine manufacturer wants to negotiate terms with a copycat manufacturer?
"Yes, we can negotiate terms with them. If feasible, we can even use these copycat manufacturers to quickly occupy the entire southern market."
Chu Tianyao's words made Lu Qiuyu even more confused.
Use copycat manufacturers to occupy the entire southern market?
She couldn't figure out the connection between Chu Tianyao's words.
At this moment, a document thrown over by Chu Tianyao attracted Lu Qiuyu's attention.
"Patent licensing solution?"
When Lu Qiuyu saw this eye-catching title, his whole expression suddenly changed.
"Are you crazy?
Are you going to license patents to these copycat manufacturers?”
The voice unconsciously increased by several decibels, and Lu Qiuyu stared at Chu Tianyao in confusion.
She really couldn't understand, what was Chu Tianyao's reason for doing this?
It's obvious that the relationship between genuine manufacturers and copycat manufacturers is like fire and water, but Chu Tianyao actually rushes to give patents to these copycat manufacturers?
In this way, wouldn’t these copycat manufacturers be able to operate legally?
