Shen Dapeng watched Chen Xiaoxuan's back gradually go away, then turned around and walked in the other direction.
Huanyun Street is not far from Shuimu University and can be reached on foot in about half an hour. Because this street is located in the middle of several universities in the capital and has a superior location, Shen Dapeng originally chose to open a computer shop on this street.
Computers are a new thing. College students in the early 21st century are keen to buy this thing. In addition, online games have just become popular at this time. Having a computer can not only listen to music and watch movies, but also play games, which is enough to make others envious.
Already.
But this computer store on Huanyun Street, although it is adjacent to several universities, has not been booming. After discussion between Shen Dapeng and Cao Zhang, they changed to a sales strategy dedicated to high-end brands and mid- to low-end games.
I don't know if this strategy has been effective recently. Shen Dapeng was thinking about it as he walked.
On Huanyun Street, college students hanging out in twos and threes can be seen everywhere, but they are all in a hurry, and many of them are wearing masks, as if they are afraid to hide away.
Shen Dapeng stood at the door of the computer store and saw several young students who looked like students walking into the computer store and asking about the prices of the computers on the racks. However, after hearing the prices, they all frowned and walked out without much pause.
The computer store recruited a pretty girl as a clerk. Since there was no business, she sat behind the glass counter, looking bored.
"Brother Peng is here."
When Shen Dapeng walked in, the girl immediately recognized him and stood up in a hurry to say hello.
Shen Dapeng nodded, "Where is Cao Zhang?"
"He's inside." The girl pointed to a small cubicle inside, which was a temporary resting place.
As soon as the girl finished speaking, Cao Zhang probably heard Shen Dapeng's voice and quickly walked out of the room.
"Dapeng, here we come." Cao Zhang greeted him lightly, and then sighed softly.
As he expected, Shen Dapeng could tell from Cao Zhang's face and the situation in the store that business was not as expected.
"We can't continue like this." Cao Zhang asked Shen Dapeng to sit at a rest table and pointed to the various computers in the store that were neatly arranged but no one cared about them.
"That's what I came here to tell you today." Shen Dapeng actually had a bold idea in his mind on the way here.
"Well, what can we do? Our computer store has a good location and a lot of traffic. Moreover, we specialize in selling brand-name computers. The quality and after-sales service are no problem. We even carry games with powerful graphics cards as you suggested.
A dedicated computer, but look at it..."
Cao Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointing to the huge store, "We can't continue to cut prices and promote sales. If so, we really won't have much profit."
Shen Dapeng's expression was very calm. After listening to Cao Zhang's complaint, he thought for a while and said: "If the price stays like this, sooner or later it will close down."
"Huh?" Cao Zhang was stunned and stared at Shen Dapeng in confusion, "What do you mean, we need to lower the price?"
Shen Dapeng looked directly at Cao Zhang's doubtful eyes and nodded silently.
"Dapeng, we opened this to make money. If the price really drops, how much money will we make?" Cao Zhang's eyes widened, wondering what Shen Dapeng's plan was.
Shen Dapeng waved his hand gently, signaling Cao Zhang not to speak.
"Computer shops still need to be opened, and money still has to be earned, but as it is now, it's obviously not working anymore, and we have to change it!"
As the saying goes, change will lead to success. Shen Dapeng was actually more anxious than Cao Zhang at this time. If coupled with the increasingly serious corruption, if there is no change, the computer business will really be a dead end.
"Change? How to change it?" Cao Zhang stared at Shen Dapeng in disbelief.
"I asked Chen Xiaoxu to go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen before. He has contacted a factory there and can give us the biggest discount. When the things come back, we will find someone to assemble them and sell them under our own brand. The price is compared to these brand machines.
It is much lower, but its performance is comparable to the branded machine in all aspects.”
Shen Dapeng's suggestion made Cao Zhang take a breath. He thought for a while and said: "In this way, the price will indeed be more affordable, but using our own brand as you mentioned, I'm afraid it won't work, right?"
Most of the computers currently displayed in stores are high-end brand machines, which are very famous, but few people care about them.
Cao Zhang couldn't help but smile and looked at Shen Dapeng, "Tell me first, what brand do you use?"
"Xiaoyu!" Shen Dapeng blurted out.
"Xiaoyu?" Cao Zhang was stunned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Why haven't you heard of this brand? Dapeng, if we use this brand, wouldn't we be shooting ourselves in the foot?"
Shen Dapeng also laughed now, "Tell me, how do you smash your feet?"
Cao Zhang pointed to the computers on the shelf, "Look, the computers we sell now are all well-known brands, and the sales volume are average. If Xiaoyu's name is attached, and no one has heard of it, who would dare to buy it?
"
"And you also know that the epidemic that has spread from Guangzhou and Shenzhen has become very serious. Most students are afraid to go out of school. If we change to an unknown brand at this time, wouldn't the business be even more bleak?"
Cao Zhang's worries are not unreasonable. If Shen Dapeng's instructions are followed, the computer shop will close down if it cannot survive for a month.
"Haha, Cao Zhang, you may not have heard of the Xiaoyu brand, but that doesn't mean others haven't heard of it. Xiaoyu Technology Company has not entered the computer industry, but in other fields, such as water purifiers and air purifiers, it is still very good.
OK."
"In first- and second-tier cities across the country, Xiaoyu occupies a large market share in the field of air purifiers and water purifiers. You can learn about this. And my idea is that not only Xiaoyu Technology Company wants to enter the computer industry, but also
It’s different!”
Cao Zhang was stunned, "Xiaoyu Technology Company? Xiaoyu, which produces purifiers and water purifiers? I know this, it is very popular all over the country now. Dapeng, is it possible that you opened this company, why didn't you listen to me?"
Did you say that?”
Shen Dapeng smiled slightly, "My aunt runs it in partnership with others. If my aunt has something to say, someone should be willing to listen."
Cao Zhang looked at Shen Dapeng with wide eyes, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Shen Dapeng spoke so lightly that no one else could tell, but how could Cao Zhang not catch it?
Growing up in a family group, I was exposed to all things business. Doesn't Shen Dapeng's words clearly indicate that his aunt is the major shareholder of this technology company?
The Shen Dapeng in front of him made him look at him differently. From Zhangpeng Bicycle to the computer shop, Cao Zhang already admired Shen Dapeng's unique business acumen, but he did not expect that Shen Dapeng was even more powerful than he thought.
