After listening to the big man's words, Zeng Yi also nodded.
"Okay, I understand the situation. You go ahead and do your work. Remember to supervise their every move."
The big man didn't have any ink stains and simply hung up the phone.
After Zeng Yi put down his phone, Chen Xiu asked in confusion.
"By the way, what is that yellow hair shop doing?
Is there any conspiracy in it?"
When Zeng Yi was on the phone with the big man just now, she also heard it, and then she felt extra surprised.
They lowered the price of VCDs. Why did Huang Mao react like this?
But Zeng Yi shook his head,
"You do not understand.
This abnormal behavior of the other party just shows that our strategy of leveraging their corner has been successful."
"Success?"
Chen Xiu said with some confusion.
"Yes, after I lowered the price of VCDs, I encouraged the dealers not to accept Hongbiao's products."
"In this way, after Huang Mao knew the news, he was really furious."
"So, he was stimulated by those dealers and actually planned to go beyond those dealers and sell his Hongbiao VCDs himself."
Hearing this, Chen Xiu became even more puzzled.
"Wouldn't this be more troublesome?
If Hongbiao VCD can ship their own goods, wouldn't they have an advantage?
?”
"When the time comes, their Hongbiao VCDs can be sold by themselves and make money, and then they can let dealers make money by selling them. Wouldn't they be able to sell them faster than us?"
But after Chen Xiu finished speaking, Zeng Yi burst out laughing,
"Hahaha, Chen Xiu, you are really thinking too much. If it is so easy to become a dealer yourself, why should I lower the price so low?
Why bother trying to please those dealers?”
"Not to mention us, all the big and small brands across the country basically choose to cooperate with dealers instead of opening stores themselves."
"Because if you want to build a store, the investment cost is huge, and it's not easy. It won't be possible within a year or two."
Having said this, Zeng Yi sneered.
"I can say that if Huang Mao does this, he will most likely lose money."
"Besides, if Huang Mao wants to build a digital store, isn't this going to take away the jobs of the local dealers in Shanghai?
In other words.
This is simply Huang Mao himself pushing those dealers to our side, so of course it is a good thing."
After listening to Zeng Yi’s explanation.
Chen Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief. At first, he was worried about whether there might be some conspiracy behind Huang Mao's actions, and wondered whether he should stop it?
Now it seems that this is obviously a thankless task. It was a decision made by this yellow man who was dazzled by the ideas of these digital merchants.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiu asked again.
"By the way Zeng Yi, now that we have lowered the price, what should we do if Yang Jianguang also lowers the price?"
Hearing this, Zeng Yi actually had a headache.
After this period of competition with Hongbiao VCDs, Zeng Yi gradually realized that there was not much difference in the strength of the two VCDs. The only way to increase sales was to sell at a lower price.
But they can use this simplest and most basic trick.
Of course Yang Jianguang will also use it.
Now that the competition continues, he has even lowered the ex-factory price to 4,200 yuan. Taking into account freight and employee wages, it is actually not very profitable.
If Yang Jianguang continues to compete with them.
Zeng Yi is even worried that the price will fall to the ex-factory price or even lower due to competition.
At that time, every time they sell a VCD, they will lose an extra amount of money.
Thinking of this matter, Zeng Yi actually had no good way to deal with it.
However, the arrow is on the string and must be fired. Now that we have been competing with Yang Jianguang for so long, we can't just watch Yang Jianguang take away the business.
Then Zeng Yi sighed, "In this situation, we can only take it one step at a time. It depends on us or Yang Jianguang, who can't hold on first."
Hearing this, Chen Xiu also nodded and sighed helplessly.
The VCDs on both sides use the same set of technology, and even the production lines are very similar, so basically the cost will not differ much.
In other words, the current price has not only reached their limit, but also reached the limit of Yang Jianguang and Lin Hongbiao.
…
On the other side, Huang Mao also contacted Yang Jianguang and told him everything about Xiuyi VCD's price reduction and the rebellion of major dealers.
"Okay, I get it."
Yang Jianguang responded on the phone.
In fact, he had already guessed this situation. If Chen Xiu and the others wanted to compete with him, they would undoubtedly lower their prices.
As for those dealers turning their backs on each other, that's even more normal.
People who do business naturally value money but not people. Who has the lower price?
Just fall to whose side.
After thinking for a while, Yang Jianguang made up his mind.
"In this case, you will also adjust the price of our Hongbiao VCD today and bring it down to around Xiuyi's price."
"If the price of Xiuyi VCD drops again in the future, you can just adjust the price.
By the way, how are you preparing for the task of finding a store that I told you to do?"
On the other end of the phone, Huang Mao responded quickly.
"Brother Jianguang, I have already made arrangements to buy a store. I have selected several stores now and I am negotiating the price with the landlord."
"However, the price in the prosperous area of Shanghai is a bit high. It would probably be more cost-effective if you rent it."
Hearing this, Yang Jianguang shook his head without hesitation.
"Okay, you can quickly negotiate the price with the landlord. It doesn't matter if it's a little higher."
Remember, buy the store directly, don't rent it.
If you don’t have enough money, you can tell me again.”
After hearing Yang Jianguang's words, Huang Mao nodded despite being puzzled.
Although he thinks renting is more cost-effective than buying, he is still 100% convinced by Yang Jianguang's words.
Of course, Yang Jianguang did not explain too much about the purchase.
Renting seems to be really cost-effective now. If you calculate the rental money, I am afraid that the rent added up to 50 years is not as expensive as buying it.
But the accounts cannot be calculated this way. Yang Jianguang knows very well how outrageously high the rents of shops in Shanghai will rise in the future.
Moreover, you have spent decades renting the store, but the store does not belong to you. After the landlord rents out the house for decades, he can resell the house and earn millions more.
However, with today's thinking, people don't understand how horribly housing and land prices will rise.
If Yang Jianguang had tried so hard to explain, he might have been ridiculed by others for worrying too much.
Regarding the competition with Zeng Yi, Yang Jianguang could only temporarily postpone Zeng Yi's stay and wait for the popularity of video stores before making a decisive move.
After Huang Mao finished the phone call with Yang Jianguang, he implemented Yang Jianguang's secret very well, quickly bought the store, and lowered the selling price and supply price of Hongbiao VCD.
Under this situation, in order to compete for customers and channels, Hongbiao VCD and Xiuyi VCD fought hard.
Almost every day, the prices of the two mainstream VCDs in Shanghai and surrounding areas are adjusted.
Of course, as time goes by, the price reductions on both sides have become less and less, and it has obviously reached the limit of price reduction.
However, after several competitions, the two sides have become really fierce, and the sales of the two major brands are holding back an evil fire.
Finally, this evil fire exploded completely when the delivery vehicles on both sides accidentally bumped into each other.
