Chapter 543 The battle between department managers
The first mobile phone experience store in Shenzhen City opened.
This matter was reported in the newspaper that afternoon, and the speed was not unpleasant.
First, it benefits from the relationship between Xingyao Technology and SEG Electronics. After all, since the two companies cooperated, every move in the Huaqiangbei Electronic Products Trading Market has been a topic of great concern to the outside media.
There is another reason, that is, in the recent period, there has been good response from various places regarding offline experience stores. In addition, Xingyao Technology, a company that has recently brought in its own traffic, many second-tier business magazines have also
They all reported the incident first.
That night.
Xingyao Building, General Manager's Office.
After being away for many days, this is the first day that Zhong Zhiqiang returns to the Star Building.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time!"
Behind the desk, Chu Tianyao handed Zhong Zhiqiang a cigarette.
Since leaving the headquarters, Zhong Zhiqiang has hardly had a good sleep during this period and is traveling on business every day.
In less than twenty days, nearly 30 experience stores were officially launched. We even completed the plan ahead of schedule and opened the experience stores in Shenzhen City and achieved good results.
"On the day of the opening, even though there was a discount event, we were able to sell 50 mobile phones in one day. This is something I didn't expect. You deserve the most credit for our experience store's reputation."
Chu Tianyao lit the cigarette in his mouth and was very satisfied with the performance of his experience store on the first day of opening.
"The hard work is indeed hard, but I can't be considered as taking the most credit. After all, you proposed the plan, and the sales team under Vice President Hu is doing the errands below. As for me... I am just a supervisor at best!"
Zhong Zhiqiang was not being polite to Chu Tianyao. He lit a cigarette in front of Chu Tianyao and puffed away with enjoyment.
"Speaking of which, I was a little worried at the beginning. The idea of the experience store is indeed good, but it requires a lot of funds to make plans in a short time. Not to mention other things, just these thirty stores, rent, and manual product addition
A total of several million has been invested in the equipment, and if hundreds of them are to be launched in the future, it will be a huge sum of money."
Zhong Zhiqiang looked at Chu Tianyao and said.
This was naturally what he was worried about right now.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xingyao Technology's mobile phone experience store seems to be very prosperous recently, but only they themselves know it.
Millions of dollars were spent in just twenty days, but such a short time was simply not enough for the experience store to enter a profitable period.
To put it bluntly, it’s just two words.
Burn money!
If the experience store model wants to be big, it must be long-lasting and viewed from a development perspective.
However, in the short term or even in the next year, Xingyao Technology's profits from the experience store project may not be able to cover the expenditure costs at all.
"It is necessary to burn money. If the experience store becomes bigger, it will be our terminal retail channel. If we can control this channel, it will increase our profit margins in the future."
After shaking off the ashes, Chu Tianyao explained to Zhong Zhiqiang.
"Okay, since you are the boss anyway, you have the final say on how to do this. I am just a wage earner."
Zhong Zhiqiang blew out a puff of smoke and grinned at Chu Tianyao.
Since Chu Tianyao said so, his worries are naturally unnecessary.
Although I don’t know how rich Xingyao Technology’s financial background is, I think it’s not enough to support Chu Tianyao’s experience store plan.
"Mr. Chu, it's already after get off work time. If I don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first. I have to go to the store early tomorrow morning."
Patting his butt, Zhong Zhiqiang stood up.
"etc!"
Chu Tianyao opened his mouth and stopped the person in front of him.
"I plan to leave the experience store project to the marketing team. In the future, our outlets will cover the entire province. If you have to run it alone, you will probably be too busy even if you break your legs."
Hearing Chu Tianyao's words, Zhong Zhiqiang paused, but turned to look at Chu Tianyao with some confusion.
The experience store project is handed over to the marketing team, what should Zhong Zhiqiang do?
Is Chu Tianyao planning to kill the donkey?
"You haven't had time to make a work badge since you joined the company. I asked Qiu Yu to keep it for you. It just so happens that the project has come to an end. From tomorrow on, you can go back to the headquarters to work. The marketing team just asked David Yu to go.
I don’t know what it will be like.”
Chu Tianyao stood up, took out a work card from the drawer, and handed it to Zhong Zhiqiang in front of him.
There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but when Zhong Zhiqiang took the work card, the look in his eyes suddenly changed.
"Marketing manager?"
Zhong Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face.
Thinking of what Chu Tianyao said when he introduced himself to Chen Fan today, Zhong Zhiqiang originally thought it was just Chu Tianyao's casual remark, but he never thought that the other party actually asked him to be the marketing manager.
"You don't have to be suspicious when you employ people. The reason why I let you join the company is because of your strength."
Chu Tianyao reached out and patted Zhong Zhiqiang on the shoulder, and continued to smile: "You have done a good job in the experience store project, which also proves your strength. I think others will be convinced by taking this position."
Hearing Chu Tianyao's words, Zhong Zhiqiang's right hand holding the work badge trembled slightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your appreciation. I will work hard."
When Zhong Zhiqiang accepted his work badge, his tone also returned to calmness.
The momentary loss of temper is only temporary. After all, Zhong Zhiqiang is also a person who has experienced great storms. The mere position of a department manager cannot shake his heart.
The reason why he lost his composure for a moment was purely because of Chu Tianyao's trust in him.
Ever since his career failed, everyone thought that Zhong Zhiqiang would never be able to make a comeback, including his former business partners and relatives at home.
He has long been accustomed to a life of not being trusted by others, but Chu Tianyao's appointment inevitably touched his heart.
In the office.
Zhong Zhiqiang didn't say much, but left Chu Tianyao's office silently after leaving one sentence.
Not long after, the office door opened, and Lu Qiuyu, dressed in professional ol' attire, walked in holding a document.
"Well, I see that guy doesn't seem very happy. Could it be that the position of department manager is not enough to impress him?"
Seemingly knowing that Chu Tianyao would promote Zhong Zhiqiang, Lu Qiuyu said after entering the door.
"Different items have different prices, and so do people. Do you think someone like him can be bought with a little favor?"
Chu Tianyao put out the cigarette butt between his fingers in the ashtray, and then said with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth: "If this is really the case, I don't have such high expectations for him."
"I really don't understand what you are thinking. It seems that Li Yanran's abilities are no worse than this guy's."
On the side, Lu Qiuyu placed a document on Chu Tianyao's desk.
"Here, take a look. In just a few days, Li Yanran independently negotiated a cooperation contract with a dealer. According to you, the operable profit margin is 15%. Although it is not a large-scale dealer,
Business, but it’s already rare.”
"oh?"
Hearing Lu Qiuyu's words, Chu Tianyao picked up the documents on the table and was a little surprised.
