Wang Xiang has never been so nervous. Compared with his previous work in Delong, this time he devoted his whole body to Ling Yue as his manager.
Zhou Linghua didn't wait in the factory. He came to Changtian Company early and was still smoking.
At this moment, Changtian Company's landline phone rang.
Wang Xiang quickly picked up the phone and it was Tao Junhui calling.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, there is a situation now. All the Lingyue MPs in the stores are sold out, especially the stores in Yanjing and Shanghai. Please see if you still have stock here, and can you replenish it quickly? "
Wang Xiang doubted his ears and asked, "Are you talking about all the MP3 players sold out in all stores?"
Tao Junhui said: "Mainly from a few big cities, some inland provincial capital cities still have a small amount of inventory. We have mobilized it to Yanjing and Shanghai, and all of it has been sold out."
Wang Xiang's mind is still a little confused.
He used to make VCDs, and he never thought that the products he produced would be sold out!
Wang Xiang frantically calculated the current profits. The comprehensive cost of Lingyue MP3 was about 130 yuan, the average selling price was 700 yuan, and the profit was 570 yuan. After deducting Gome's profit, there was still 500 yuan. Changtian Technology and ADLINK 5 Five cents, that is 250 yuan, 2,000 units is 500,000!
Wang Xiang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva!
Five hundred thousand!
In just a short time, there was a profit of half a million yuan!
The profits from fast-selling products are so huge!
Wang Xiang said: "Let's make adjustments here and get back to you right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Linghua quickly asked: "How is the situation?"
Wang Xiang said: "Out of stock! Ask us if we still have stock here."
Zhou Linghua was stunned for a moment, then jumped up with excitement!
"All 2,000 units are sold out?" Zhou Linghua confirmed again in disbelief.
If they are all sold out, it means that Zhou Linghua will still make money after all the initial investment is repaid.
He has fully tasted the benefits. It is indeed much more comfortable to make electronic fast-moving consumer goods than to make mechanical equipment.
The profit of a CNC machine tool is only a few thousand yuan, but it takes a lot of effort to sell one. Excellent technology and high profits are also monopolized by overseas products. Before more advanced technology, CNC machine tools It is too difficult to compete with the West.
MP3 is different. Chen Xiao has a complete set of core technologies for its main components. Even if compared with products from Japan or South Korea, it will not fall behind.
"All sold out, does the factory still have stock?" Wang Xiang quickly asked Zhou Linghua.
Zhou Linghua was confused for a while. He was cautious before doing it. He originally planned to invest less and make 500 units to test the waters. However, under Chen Xiao's strong request, he made 2,000 units.
After the production was completed, Zhou Linghua immediately diverted the workers to the CNC machine tool workshop (the profit was not much, but stable) and stopped the machinery (to save costs).
Zhou Linghua's estimate was that he could sell one or two hundred units a month, which would be good. Who would have thought that Guomei would sell out all of them in less than a day!
"No?" Wang Xiang was speechless.
Zhou Linghua said quickly: "I'll go back to the factory and start production immediately!"
…
Yanjing Fruit Store.
Consumers who had just seen the function of Lingyue MP3 demonstrated by the store clerk were waiting anxiously.
"Can I adjust the goods?"
The clerk said helplessly: "Currently there is no stock, please check Sony and Samsung and see if you want to consider it."
This group of customers originally came to see CDs, and Sony's CDs cost seven to eight hundred yuan.
Now compare Sony's CD player with Lingyue MP3, and any fool will know which one to choose.
CD sound quality is good? Can you hear the difference in sound quality using cheap headphones?
As far as brands are concerned, Lingyue’s brand appeal is definitely not as strong as Sony and Samsung.
But Lingyue has good looks and stronger performance.
In 2000, everyone didn't have much money, so many consumers chose Lingyue MP3 after weighing it.
In addition, Lingyue also has an advantage in after-sales. Any consumer who buys an MP3 player can have it replaced free of charge within one year if there is a quality problem within the scope of the warranty, or it can be mailed to Lingyue headquarters for repair.
On the other hand, it is very troublesome to repair Sony and Samsung MP3 players because these products are imported and there are no professional repair and after-sales outlets in China.
Sometimes the things you buy are broken, and you have to admit defeat.
The customers said in unison: "No."
"I'll leave you a landline number for when it will be available. Can you call me?"
"Do you have a specific arrival time?"
"256mb! Neither Sony nor Samsung's storage is this big!"
The store can only patiently explain to customers and promise that if the goods are available here, they will be put on the shelves immediately.
…
After staying up all night for several consecutive nights, Chen Xiao fell asleep in the dormitory.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the school is not on holiday, so classes are in session.
But this morning was College English, so Chen Xiao went straight to bed.
What a pity!
Chen Xiao couldn't sleep.
It's not that the phone keeps ringing, but the system keeps prompting.
[Influence +0.5]
[Influence +1]
[Influence +0.5]
[Influence +0.1]
[Influence +1]
Chen Xiao was awakened by the prompts that kept popping up.
He looked at the system settings.
Automatically filter single reminders so that they will be reminded when the accumulated points reach 50 points each time.
Seeing so much influence, Chen Xiao knew. The market should have accepted Lingyue MP3.
At this time, the phone rang. It was Wang Xiang.
"Chen Xiao, Guomei called and said that all 2,000 MP3 players have been sold out. The National Day will be in more than 10 days. At that time, the consumption of small household appliances will reach a peak. I just talked with Zhou Linghua, I really don’t trust his output.”
Because MP3 is a new thing, and all the costs are advanced by Linghua, plus half of the profits will be given to Changtian Technology, so Zhou Linghua came here with a trying mentality rather than a full-time commitment. Invest.
If the product sells well, then invest more. If the product is more fragile than you think, then stop the loss in time and you won't lose too much.
We are all businessmen, and you cannot force Zhou Linghua to devote himself wholeheartedly to cooperating with Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao stood up and said, "I'm going to the factory to have a look."
Jiangzhou, ADLINK factory.
The Santiao Equipment Factory, which was renovated under the leadership of Chen Xiao, had just stopped working and started working overtime to produce MP3 players again.
Zhou Linghua was at the scene, sweating profusely.
Although he was technically unable to give more guidance to the workers, he always felt that the effect would be better if he was supervising here.
Now Zhou Linghua is facing a very troublesome problem - there is a serious shortage of batteries and USB flash drives. He has also sent people to Yangcheng and Shenzhen markets to purchase them.
Seeing Chen Xiao, Zhou Linghua was very embarrassed, "I expected that 2,000 units would be sold for a while, but I didn't expect it to be so popular."
