Chapter 81 Excessive Demands
Xiao Yi didn't pay attention to Bi Jian's matter, he knew that Xiao Qi would not have other ideas, Bi Jian was a greenhouse flower who had not experienced wind and rain.
Xiao Yi has been very busy recently, if it weren't for Sanbao going to other places to develop the market, he would have wanted Sanbao to come back to help, and now he can only be busy himself. Running back and forth between Yifeng Internet Cafe and Yifeng Drink, fortunately, Yifeng Beverage sold the soda to Bayi Soda, and now there are fewer things here.
At present, Yifeng's main and only product, fruit orange, is in urgent need of new products to be added, so Xiao Yi recently went to Xishan with Master Tong to investigate water resources, but unfortunately the lack of technology has been delayed.
There is good news from Yifeng Internet Cafe, Chu Haiqiang and their forum registered users continue to rise, and the daily activity has already passed one million, more than 100 million visits, and now Yifeng Forum has a small reputation in the industry. The direction of the operation of the forum has always been a concern for Chu Haiqiang and them, although there is such a large number of visits, it can't be realized.
If it can't be realized, then it will be difficult to support the long-term operation and maintenance costs, and when they want to access the advertisement, Xiao Yat directly denied it. Because nowadays, except for those vulgar businesses such as pornographic websites, few people are willing to invest money in online advertising.
First, the Internet is a new industry after all, not many people know about it, second, there is no precedent, and no one wants to throw money in vain.
On this day, when Xiao Yi was about to go to Xishan with Master Tong to investigate again, Su Xiangyue found him: "Mr. Xiao, there is a problem on the agent's side, and I need you to give that idea." βγ
"How many are there and what is the proportion"
Xiao Yi put down the documents in his hand and asked Su Xiangyue, he knew that if it was one or two, Su Xiangyue would not come to trouble him, there must be a big problem Su Xiangyue couldn't get an idea, and Su Xiangyue's words did confirm Xiao Yi's guess.
"There are eighteen first-level agents to be dismissed, ten second-level agents, and three third-level agents. β
"That's a lot, half of our agents. Didn't find out what's going on?"
"It has been found out that Yi Min and Bing Lian and Drink Hao have joined forces to set up a new supply channel led by Yi Min, and they not only do not charge agency fees but also give profits to agents, provided that they give up Yifeng's agency rights. They also specifically target Yifeng, as long as they are Yifeng's agents, they double their profits. β
"This Bi Jian is really stupid and has a lot of money, I really think that this can make Yifeng naΓ―ve. β
Xiao Yi shook his head disdainfully, it is a good idea to combine vertical and horizontal, but it also depends on who uses this trick, if it is used well, it can be of great use, and if it is not used well, it will only dig a hole for himself.
"Mr. Xiao, what should we do next, and what should those agents do?"
"If they want to break the contract, just let them ruin it, just compensate for the liquidated damages according to the contract, presumably these liquidated damages are also from these companies. The distribution channels of Fruit Orange have been fully contracted, and all the vacated agency rights have been collected by the company, and we have established our own directly operated stores in these places. β
"Shrinking?directly managed store?"
Su Xiangyue didn't react at once, isn't this a disguised self-deprecating martial art to shrink the distribution channel, once there is no appeal in the market, I'm afraid there will be problems, and she has never heard of what a direct store is.
"The shrinkage is to better stretch out the fist to beat people, and the direct store is simpler, that is, we open our own store to do it, and the market price is directly according to the price given to the agent. β
"I'm afraid those agents won't do it. β
Su Xiangyue showed a worried look, because then the agent would not have any advantage to speak of.
"In the future, the company will only have the third-level agency, that is, the highest level, after the market is divided, the third-level agent can deal with the first-level and second-level agency, but the price is still set by us. As for our direct stores, they will not open to their agents. There is also the agent who will stay in the new products of Yifeng in the future, and the agent has the priority of agency. β
"It's okay for them to accept it. But it will take a lot of time for our directly operated stores to open, and there will be a vacuum in the market during this time, wouldn't it be easy for them to succeed?"
"It's not a bad thing for us to eat too much and it's easy to break your stomach"
Xiao Yi explained a few more words to Su Xiangyue, and then continued to investigate with Master Tong to see how to block the technology, which is the most important thing.
Yifeng's decision made the entire industry boil, originally thought that Yifeng would fight back, but what no one expected was that Yifeng actually shrank the front in an all-round way. This disappointed many people, Yifeng has never failed in his invincible position since stepping into the beverage industry, and this time it seems to be a bit hanging.
Not to mention industry insiders, even ordinary consumers feel that something is wrong, and the fruit oranges, which were particularly popular in the past, are not seen in the store, which makes people very confused. In place of oranges is another drink of the same type, although it is not as good as oranges, but it is cheaper.
"I thought it was a powerful opponent, but I didn't expect to automatically admit defeat like this, it's not interesting at all. Continue to win over their agents, I want to make Yifeng's fruit orange can't get out of Jincheng even a bottle. I want Xiao Yat to become nothing, so that Xiao Qi can see clearly how stupid his choice was back then."
Bi Jian's handsome face was cold and scary, he just didn't like Xiao Yi, but he couldn't see Xiao Qi and Xiao Yi together.
In the eyes of outsiders, Yifeng's life is not good now, on the contrary, Yifeng directly changed the packaging of the goods in the hands of these agents and exported, and now the foreign fruit oranges are sold quite well. So Yifeng, who seems to be losing in the market, is not affected at all.
"Mr. Xiao, if the core technology does not meet the requirements, it will be difficult for us to continue, because we can only do more useless work if we continue like this. Our current technical team is not enough to solve this problem in a short period of time, so we can only find a way from the outside, and then slowly improve our R&D team. β
"That's all there is to it. I'll think of another way."
Xiao Yi looked at Xishan and couldn't help sighing, he didn't think about introducing technology, but now the technology blockade in this area is serious, and the price to pay for the introduction is a bit big, and it will be controlled by others, which is the last thing he wants to see, the engine and chip in his previous life made him know this.
When Xiao Yi returned to Yifeng, he called Lin Ruoxi directly, Xiao Yi asked Lin Ruoxi to meet, and the two did not talk happily after meeting.
"Miss Lin, this condition is too harsh, I will not agree. β
"Mr. Xiao, I don't think it's harsh at all, technology is the primary productive force, it's not obvious now, but it's true in the future. I can see it with a little vision, so I don't think I'm asking too much for a stake in technology. β
"I'm also responsible for building a factory, sales, and so on, and you're just asking for 50 percent of the shares for a technology, isn't that too much?"
