Soon, Huang Mao and Dazhi also followed Lin Hongbiao and returned to Hongbiao VCD Company.
Looking at the huge group of people behind Huang Mao and Dazhi, Lin Hongbiao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He couldn't afford to hesitate anymore. In the current situation, he could only treat a dead horse as a live doctor.
After entertaining the group of people for a simple meal near the company, Lin Hongbiao led a group of people to visit Hongbiao VCD's warehouse.
While visiting, Lin Hongbiao also explained.
"The price of VCDs on the market ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan, and the quality of our Hongbiao VCDs is not much different from theirs.
It’s just that it’s not as famous as other old VCDs.”
"VCDs have only been around for less than a year. Everyone must have confidence when selling VCDs..."
Following Lin Hongbiao's introduction, Huang Mao's group of salesmen also looked at the VCDs in the warehouse with salivation.
Since the Walkman was not selling well, their sales road has become bumpy, and now they finally have something else to sell.
Even if they had made a little money selling Walkmans before, they had rarely seen such luxury items as VCDs.
Now I can see that with Lin Hongbiao's permission, a group of people couldn't help but touch these machines with their hands.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Mao also opened a machine and taught a group of people how to turn it on, how to use it, and how to deal with some simple faults.
Just seeing some people who couldn't even use it, Lin Hongbiao felt despair in his heart.
At this rate, how can these people compare with the sales elites hired by Chen Xiu with high salaries?
"Brother Huangmao, can you come over here."
Lin Hongbiao, who felt really unsure, coughed lightly, called Huang Mao over, and asked,
"Now that you have seen these VCDs, can you tell me your next plan?"
Lin Hongbiao, who asked the question on a whim, did not expect that Huang Mao actually nodded and answered in an orderly manner.
"Boss Lin, Dazhi and I are going to divide into two teams. One team will go to the surrounding provinces and cities centered on Shanghai to find the dealer of our previous Walkman.
The other team went to Lianghu and other economically underdeveloped areas in central China to create distribution routes,”
Huang Mao's unexpected answer also stunned Lin Hongbiao.
Under normal circumstances, each large item such as VCD costs half a million yuan.
Because of the high price, in this era when wages and incomes are not high, only economically developed areas like Linhai can barely afford it.
Even the most famous Qianyan VCD on the market today is only distributed in major economically developed cities and has not entered the market in underdeveloped areas.
Huang Mao actually wanted to try to go to the economically backward central regions like Lianghu, which was indeed unexpected by Lin Hongbiao.
Seeing Lin Hongbiao's puzzled face, Huang Mao also took over.
"Boss Lin, before coming here, I asked someone to find out.
Qianyan VCD has been launched for nearly a year and is the first VCD brand in China.
It is also the most well-known brand, Qianyan vcd has been very popular among people."
"Not to mention that in addition to Qianyan, there are various VCD brands on the market, large and small, who want to enter developed areas and get a piece of the pie."
“It is very difficult for our Hongbiao VCD to enter the market and seize the market.
That being the case, why don’t we just try to go to a market that no one else has occupied?”
Huang Mao's words made Lin Hongbiao nodded and felt slightly relieved.
In fact, at first, he didn't believe that Huang Mao and Dazhi had any sales ability. He just had to accept it because of Yang Jianguang's face.
Although we still don't know what the abilities of these people are, from Huang Mao's words, we can also know that the other party has indeed analyzed the matter, done enough homework, and did not muddle through.
Moreover, suitable salesmen are now unavailable, so Lin Hongbiao can only act as a living doctor.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you.
I hope you can give me and Jianguang a surprise."
"Currently, according to Jianguang's explanation, the ex-factory price of a VCD for you is 4,500.
If I can get a lot of goods in the future, I can lower the price to 4100-4200."
"According to the market price, you can also make part of the profit, but the cost of getting the machine..."
Halfway through his words, Lin Hongbiao stopped and glanced at the sales people around him.
It's not that he doesn't trust Huang Mao.
It's just that he didn't expect Huang Mao to bring so many people when he came out.
What he planned at the beginning was that with Yang Jianguang's guarantee, he could just let the other party pick up the goods and sell them without paying Huang Mao.
But now there are so many people and more than a hundred machines, which costs hundreds of thousands. If these salesmen get greedy and run away, then...
Huang Mao seemed to see Lin Hongbiao's worry. He turned around with a smile and waved.
"Boss Lin, don't worry, brothers, please come over. Have you brought the money?"
A group of people who were learning how to use VCD also smiled one by one, took out money from their pockets, and put it into the hands of several people in charge one by one.
Obviously, they have long been very proficient in this cooperation model.
Seeing this, Lin Hongbiao was relieved and showed a bright smile.
Public is public, private is private, and he is afraid that Yang Jianguang's involvement will make this matter even more troublesome.
"Brother Huangmao, how many machines do you plan to use to try it?"
Lin Hongbiao explained kindly, "VCDs are not easy to sell. I suggest that one person should buy one at most, or two people should buy one to sell. It opens up the supply of goods first, and it will be easier to sell later."
"We have a hundred people here. According to the plan, we will be divided into two teams. Each team will take a hundred units to sell."
Huang Mao answered without thinking.
"That's two hundred units. Isn't that too much?"
Lin Hongbiao blurted out in surprise.
This adds up to a payment of close to one million, are these people going too crazy?
However, under the insistence of Huang Mao and others, and because the other party actually paid so much money, Lin Hongbiao could only nodded and agreed.
Huang Mao's gang was also very efficient. After paying the money, they quickly left with a box and the goods.
Just watching this group of people walk out of Hongbiao VCD Company, Lin Hongbiao still felt uneasy. He gritted his teeth and dialed a number.
This was a sales team he had met before, but he had not agreed because the commission price was too high.
But now the hundreds of VCDs piled up in the warehouse have basically consumed Hongbiao VCD’s operating funds.
If we can no longer sell the VCDs in the warehouse, the operation of the entire company will come to a standstill.
And Lin Hongbiao really couldn't believe that Huang Mao's grassroots team could help Hongbiao vcd establish a qualified sales line.
So he decided to lower costs and hire this sales team.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello, is this Manager Liang Yeliang?"
"What, 3600?"
Lin Hongbiao blurted out.
"Didn't you still mention the delivery price of 4,000 last time?"
3600, which is already infinitely close to the manufacturing cost price of Hongbiao VCD.
But no matter how shocked Lin Hongbiao was, the other party still insisted on getting the goods at a price of 3,600.
There is no way, the situation is stronger than the people, and Hongbiao Company will be in trouble if the thousands of units in its warehouse are not sold.
In the end, Lin Hongbiao could only grit his teeth and agreed.
"3600 is 3600. Let's sign the agreement later and we can't change our minds."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Hongbiao let out a long sigh.
In this situation, I can only hope that Liang Ye can give me a satisfactory answer.
As for Huang Mao and the grass-roots team, he had better not count on it.
Maybe it won’t take more than a month, and a bunch of people will have to come back to me to return the vcd.
