"Mr. Liu, how is the contact?" Liu Mei watched as the store's pastry sales dropped little by little, like a frog boiled in warm water, falling by about 1%-2% month-on-month in a day.
It doesn't look like much, but it can't stand it and keeps falling, with no sign of stabilization.
And in just two weeks, the sales of previous leading products have dropped by nearly 20%.
During this period, the sales volume of newly launched products in other stores can only make up for about 10% at most.
Even Wang Yan, who originally planned to wait and see, was a little anxious now.
"Well, I've contacted him a few times, but his management has always said that the boss is on a business trip and is temporarily out of the company. You should understand the meaning of this excuse. I can't help with this matter for the time being."
After hanging up the phone with Liu Feng.
In the office, Liu Mei and Wang Yan stared at each other.
Liu Mei sighed and Wang Yan frowned.
"Their family plans to fight to the end." Wang Yan never expected that the Wu Zhou family's counterattack would have such a rapid impact and such a great effect.
The hot and sour noodles have not had such a big impact before. Why do pastries have such a big impact?
"Has the operations department analyzed where the traffic is missing? Can they find traffic to make up for it?" Liu Mei asked.
But Wang Yan shook his head.
"Mainly due to the decrease in search traffic and referral traffic from thousands of people, through trains and the like can be used to bring it back, but the output ratio is not appropriate."
"Now is not the time to talk about output ratio. We need to stabilize the market first. I will communicate with the brand later and ask for some support." With the current downward trend, if it continues for another month or two, by then Just maintaining performance can wipe out all the company's profits.
It’s just the beginning now, so we can still fight for it.
But the best solution is
"Please arrange the matters at hand in the past two days. Let's go to Yuncheng." Liu Mei finally made the decision.
Since others cannot be contacted, then contact them in person.
Wang Yan looked at Liu Mei in surprise.
But in the end he nodded.
Because he also knew this and couldn't wait.
The next day a small plane landed at the small airport in Yuncheng.
"Who are you looking for?" The front desk immediately stopped Liu Mei and his wife from breaking in.
"Is this Aiying E-Commerce Co., Ltd.?" Liu Mei asked with a smile and a very low posture.
Wang Yan was behind her, silent.
Thinking back on it, it had been a long time since I had been so humble and humble, and I felt slightly absent-minded for a moment.
"Yes, which manufacturer are you from? Have you made an appointment in advance?" As the company grows, people from factories or brands often come to visit us.
However, most of these require leveling up.
"Oh, we are not a manufacturer. I am Liu Mei from Dacheng Trading, the general manager of the company. This is Wang Yan, the chairman of our company. Our company is also an e-commerce company. We just flew over from Shanghai. I want to talk to Mr. Wu from your company."
"Dacheng Trading? Are you looking for our Mr. Wu?" The receptionist looked at the two people in front of him. "You guys wait a moment, I'll communicate with our leader.
"OK."
Liu Mei and Wang Yan looked around.
"The company's space design and environment are really good." Liu Mei sighed, both as a compliment and sincerely.
They are also regarded as the leading e-commerce company in the industry. They have visited many manufacturers, but none of them have an environment comparable to Wu Zhou's.
There is only one Wu Zhou company on the entire floor, which must have an area of at least 1,400 to 500 square meters.
But the actual office area is less than half, and there are not many people there, probably only about a hundred people.
Most of the vacant spaces are filled with green plants and small individual rooms.
Of course, the most important design is stylish.
A bit like those really nice office scenes you see on TV.
But in their line of work, the vast majority of companies actually rent office space. Who would spend so much extra money and go through such a thankless decoration process?
"Well, I made too much money, and I really can't find a place to spend it." Wang Yan was also a little surprised.
"Sorry, our President Wu is not here. Our President Liu will come over later. Please wait a moment." The front desk replied with a professional smile.
Liu Mei looked at Wang Yan with a helpless expression.
"Okay, thank you, little sister." Liu Mei said kindly.
"You're welcome." The front desk went to the water dispenser not far away and poured a glass of warm water for each of Liu Mei and Wang Yan.
After a while, Liu Bin came in a hurry.
"Hello, I'm Liu Bin, the director of the company's e-commerce department. I'm very sorry. Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wu are not in the company, so your trip was in vain." Liu Bin said apologetically.
"We're here unexpectedly, so we're being presumptuous. Mr. Liu, your surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Mei, also surnamed Liu. If not, we're still the same family, haha." Liu Mei said with a hearty smile, getting closer to each other.
Liu Bin laughed and took Liu Mei and Wang Yan to the reception room.
After all, people have traveled thousands of miles to come here, so they can’t be driven away directly.
"The working environment of your company is really good."
"Mr. Wu asked someone to design these. He said that as an e-commerce company, he still needs to have some divergent thinking, so the working environment should not be too formal and should be comfortable." Liu Bin explained with a smile.
"How much is the annual rent for this office building?" Wang Yan interrupted at this time.
"I'm not sure about this. Mr. Wu bought this floor."
Wang Yan was choked immediately and made some calculations in his mind.
Recall what I saw and heard when I entered the office building, the good security facilities, and the spacious and bright entrance door.
Even in a third-tier city like Yuncheng, such an office building costs at least 20,000 yuan per square meter. At this time, the area is about 1.5,000 square meters. The commercial nature of office buildings generally includes public stalls. A conservative estimate should be at least 25%.
A little conversion, if you buy such a large area, it will cost at least 40 million.
Think about your current office space. Although it is in a first-tier city, it is in a remote location and the annual rent is only around 300,000 yuan.
I used to think this was quite high, but now I feel
"It's really rich." Wang Yan didn't say anything anymore at this moment, but muttered in his heart.
"Mr. Liu is young and promising. I hope we can communicate more when we have the opportunity in the future so that we can learn more."
"I'm just a handyman, and we, Mr. Wu, control the general direction of the company." Liu Bin replied with a smile.
After arriving at the conference room.
Wang Yan looked at Liu Mei.
After Liu Mei glanced at him, she continued to look at Liu Bin with a smile.
"Mr. Liu, in fact, the main reason we came here this time is to clear up some misunderstandings." Liu Mei spoke, passing the problem and responsibility to Xiuxi.
Of course, some of the responsibilities on my side are passed on to the employees below.
He also explained that during that time, he and his wife happened to have something to do and were not in the company. When they came back and discovered this incident, they immediately severely criticized the employee.
But I still feel that this matter is not good. I was looking for someone to contact Wu Zhou before.
Say it face to face.
But never got in touch.
In the end, it was changed to door-to-door.
To sum it up, it's 'Others did it, don't get me wrong'
There was no mention in the whole process of Wu Zhou’s product-specific measures.
But after saying that.
"By the way, when will Mr. Wu come back? It would be great if we could take the time to meet him. In our industry, we only hear his voice but never see his person. If we can meet him, it will be a worthwhile trip. ."
After Liu Mei said the 'misunderstanding', she still wanted to see Wu Zhou.
"It's really unfortunate that Mr. Wu went to the factory and we don't know when he will come back. Wu Zhou is not mainly busy with snacks now, he is making masks," Liu Bin explained.
In the end it didn't work out.
Wang Yan didn't say a few words throughout the whole process. He was good at bragging, but he really wasn't very good at talking when it came to submissiveness.
Liu Mei came with him just to show his attention.
