The emergence of Hongbiao VCD store is undoubtedly quite successful.
There are more than a dozen digital stores in Shanghai City, and the entrance of each store is packed with people.
If the disc hadn't been completely wiped out, I'm afraid this situation would have continued until dark.
But in fact, although Hongbiao sent out hundreds of thousands of discs, in the end, due to busy calculations by Huang Mao and others, they did not suffer much loss.
First of all, the manufacturing cost of a disc is about one or two yuan, and buying a disc costs ten yuan a piece. In addition, in this era, the content that a disc can store is not very much, often one movie.
It takes two to three discs to finish watching.
And if some customers want to buy a whole TV series on disc, the discs they need to buy will come in a big, thick bag, and they will have to spend two to three hundred dollars.
Faced with this situation, Huang Mao and others felt that the price was a little high at first. After all, spending two to three hundred to watch a TV series was really too expensive and completely unnecessary.
But Huang Mao and the others misjudged the number of rich people in the world, and also misjudged the number of rich people. According to their income bills today, their income from buying VCD discs is actually higher than their income from selling VCDs.
According to a person in charge of sales at a digital store, they actually saw an old man in slippers buying a tricycle of discs and taking them home.
So among all the phenomena that they couldn't understand, they thought they would lose money today, but on the last day, after removing all expenses, not only did they not lose money, but they also made a profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Hongbiao VCDs alone sold hundreds of units in one day, and more than tens of thousands of discs were sold.
This good news made Huang Mao smile so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
After checking the accounts, he quickly reported the news to Yang Jianguang.
"Brother Jianguang, good news, good news! Our Hongbiao Digital Store is a great success. There are so many people coming today that are beyond imagination. All the 200,000 discs you asked us to prepare have been sold out.
Even VCDs have been sold in hundreds.”
Listening to Huang Mao's excited report, Yang Jianguang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he predicted how destructive the video store would be to people in this era, his heart dropped when he was sure that this business could be profitable.
And the most important thing is that the success in Shanghai and Jiangsu Province proves that disc stores are very feasible. After the reputation increases, Hongbiao can promote it on a large scale in other areas.
"Well done, Huang Mao. You will take out all today's profits later and give them to the brothers as rewards."
"I have also contacted Brother Lin, and the second batch of discs will be shipped to Shanghai. What you have to do is to use this batch of discs to continue to maintain the number of discs in the disc store.
"At the same time, you contact those digital stores that have not yet switched to Qianyan VCD, use these discs to win over them, and ask them to promote our discs as well."
"Brother Jianguang, why do you do this?
The owner of a digital store is not a good person."
"When we were competing with Qianyantai VCD, these people were still waiting and watching and refused to support us. Why should we help them now?"
In Huang Mao's opinion, Hongbiao VCD discs are now in high demand.
I have already sold out of stock, and finally got the goods, so why should I share it with these people?
Hearing Huang Mao's words, Yang Jianguang smiled and shook his head.
In fact, he was not surprised by Huang Mao's idea.
Huang Mao is a very simple person, he will be nice to anyone who is nice to him.
But you can't do business like this. Before the bottom line is thoroughly involved, the most important criterion is to maximize profits.
Of course, if the bottom line is exceeded, no matter how high the profit is, it is not worth doing business with the other party anymore.
Thinking of this, Yang Jianguang continued.
"Huang Mao, our biggest advantage now is that we have so many movie discs, and these movie discs have been specially processed and cannot be adapted to other brands of VCDs."
"But again, our advantage is actually the least reliable.
We can open a disc store and record a large number of movie discs, whether it is Qianyan brand VCD or Xiuyi brand VCD, they can do this."
"Do you think, if they also manufactured a large number of discs, our Hongbiao VCD would still have such a big advantage?"
After listening to Yang Jianguang's words, Huang Mao also fell silent.
He knew very well that what Yang Jianguang said was true. Just like their movie playback function, other VCD brands would definitely imitate this advantageous, difficult and simple technology.
Maybe it won't be long before the entire streets and alleys of Shanghai will be filled with VCD stores.
But Huang Mao is still a little unconvinced. These hateful dealers are not good people, and he actually wants to give his business to them!
Seeing that Huang Mao remained silent, Yang Jianguang continued.
"What we have to do now is to find ways to get more people to buy our VCDs, or even buy our discs and bind them to our Hongbiao VCDs."
"When the time comes, whether they are replacing VCDs or people around them are buying VCDs, they will give priority to our Hongbiao VCDs. Then our Hongbiao will have a firm foothold in Shanghai and Jiangsu Province."
"So Huang Mao, we gave the business to them just to take advantage of the gap when Xiuyi and Qianyanpai vcd had no time to imitate."
Finally, Huang Mao also nodded.
"Okay Brother Jianguang, I understand what you mean. I will contact these dealers immediately."
Hearing this, Yang Jianguang praised Huang Mao a few more words and then hung up the phone.
According to Huang Mao's report today, Hongbiao VCD should have achieved a great victory.
However, according to what Huang Mao said, Qianyan VCD, which has just returned to the Shanghai market, is cooperating with a large number of dealers, so business should be pretty good.
Only Zeng Yi’s Xiuyi brand VCD was caught off guard by both parties, and now it is estimated that almost half of the market has been taken away.
After Huang Mao goes to win over the remaining dealers, Zeng Yi's VCD will probably completely lose the Shanghai market.
However, Yang Jianguang did not have the slightest sympathy for this. Zeng Yi and Chen Xiu were not good people, and they deserved their current fate.
The next thing you have to think about is how to deal with Qianyan brand vcd.
I must have thought up the disc digital store myself, and Qianyan VCD will definitely imitate it quickly.
Then I hope they will imitate it quickly and make it bigger so that they can jump into the hole they dug for them.
