Chapter 108: Don't pretend to be Zhang Fei

"Hey, I don't know if you throw out this olive branch, and people won't pick it up?" Xu Xin returned to the coffee room, and while talking, he found that Chu Yuanxi seemed to be chatting with Lao Ning very happily? "Hey, what are you talking about?"

Chu Yuanxi and Lao Ning looked at each other and smiled, and Lao Ning said to Xu Xin: "Talk about investment in the well-off." Isn't this Xiao Chu going to melt the B round?"

"What's the situation?"

Xu Xin immediately became energetic, and only heard Chu Yuanxi say: "Well-off B round, I think a little lower, the first 18 billion is acceptable." Pre_B Ba people have raised 550 million, and another 35 to 4 billion in round B is enough. Then Mr. Ning basically recognized this price and financing scale, and decided to follow 100 million. ”

"Ouch, are you going to lower the price?" Congratulations!" Xu Xinxin said What is the matter with this Lao Ning? Those who have not invested for ten thousand years have decided to follow a hand, is it that Chu Yuanxi played too well just now, and he has deeply pointed out the disadvantages of Meiduo? Or do you think that the strategic cooperation between Xiaokang and Meiduo is expected to be reached? After it is reached, the value will rise, so go in advance? If this is the case......

"Then I can't be left behind. She slapped the table and said, "I'm with 200 million!"

Chu Yuan Xixin said 200 million, you are embarrassed to say it, but considering that Xu Xin is indeed having difficulties in using troops at present, 200 million may already require her to use reserves, and she can't ask for more.

But he didn't know that Xu Xin regretted it after saying it, because he thought of another possibility. That is, Chu Yuanxi was purely acting just now, creating a posture of wanting to form an alliance with the United States, so that there is a better expectation, of course, it is conducive to the financing call that will be organized soon!

But I can't inquire about it......

So Chu Yuanxi hurriedly organized a financing phone call, first sent a group email to the early investors, and then spread a hero post through Xu Xin and Yuan Jingguang, and set the phone call on the evening of the 28th.

Then in his busy schedule, he had to spare some time to allocate to Feng Lin, not Feng Lin in the villa, but Feng Lin who was about to die.

"You can't do this, you rely on Xiaomi's brand to open a store and sell mobile phones like this, and your salesman basically doesn't play any role!"

He said this after inspecting Feng Lin's model room.

Feng Lin's speed is still quite fast, and he seems to be very positive, not only did the procedures be successfully handled with the help of Chu Yuanxi's people, but the store also put down a few at a reasonable price, and quickly recruited some people under Liu Lu's Zhu Wei, and even the model room was set up, and the first sales point was already ready for business.

But the level of this business is really worrying, not that the decoration is not worthy of the grade of Xiaomi's new machine, nor is it that the service is not considerate or the salesman is not enthusiastic, but the sales ability of the salesman who was hastily found is not good.

You must know that offline mobile phone sales rely on salesmen, and if the salesman is not effective, it must not be able to sell, because rice noodles must be bought directly online, and few people buy Xiaomi offline. Therefore, the salesman is targeting passers-by, and even passers-by who have a certain prejudice against Xiaomi.

And Feng Lin's salesman will only introduce how good the Mi 10 product is, how the performance and price are, at most it is to bury a friend businessman, which line is this? Fortunately, VIVO launched IQOO3 in time to set off the Mi 10, so that the salesman still has a lot to say.

Feng Lin was calm, and he didn't expect it to be a market as soon as it opened, especially the current flow of people was not up.

Therefore, she said: "Big brother, it's too difficult for me! Do you know how many strange things you will encounter when opening a new store? I opened five stores at the same time, and I'm tired now! I've been solving all kinds of trivial things in the past two days, and my lips are on fire, look at it, look at it!"

Chu Yuanxi twitched on Feng Lin's pursed lips, but she didn't pity her at all, because her dealer had been standing on top of someone else's head from the beginning. Is there still a face to complain like this?

It is impossible for other dealers to directly connect with Xiaomi, they can only connect with channel providers and take goods from channel dealers. And Feng Lin is doing the dealer's thing, and if he does it well, he is expected to become a channel provider, and other dealers will cry to death when they see it.

So his suggestion was: "Didn't Liu Lu help you find a few partners? ”

"It's trivial, I solve it myself, I have to hand it over to others, and there is a difference in understanding, how low is the efficiency? I haven't solved it all? Now it's actually good, Sister Liu is very powerful, most of the salesmen I found have had mobile phone sales experience, what else do you want?"

"I really want to do that. Chu Yuanxi couldn't help but think of someone as she said, "You wait for me, I'll find you a powerful sales master to come and talk to you to improve your salesman's business ability." ”

In Feng Lin's opinion, what she lacks most here is actually time, she can't follow the steps, and she doesn't have time to train salesmen, not because she doesn't want to train, but because she doesn't have time to find a suitable lecturer at all. To be able to find this salesman who can speak Mandarin, in the current state Liu Lu has tried his best, and it is really difficult for me to find a lecturer again.

In fact, Chu Yuanxi felt that what she lacked most was experience, the experience of being a boss. To be a boss is to assign the right work to the right people with the right process, to do only what is necessary, and definitely not to do everything yourself. What if you don't have the right people to do it? Improve your recruitment capabilities and find the right people.

In this regard, Chu Yuanxi himself is not a good model, and he likes to be strong. However, what he wants to do either needs to be kept secret, and it is not good for too many people to know it, for example, the content of Milestone 6 is outside the small scope that must be known, and only Xue Jianhua is found to share his own work.

There are also some things that are really difficult to find people, Chu Yuanxi has a lot of unique business behaviors that must be personally promoted to ensure that there is no deviation, and throwing it to others for a day can be unrecognizable. So he can only assign the more traditional modules to other people.

Of course, Feng Lin is the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, so Chu Yuanxi will not pull out the seedlings to help her, at least you can't command her right now.

Of course, Feng Lin hopes that someone will talk about it, especially about sales. If she wants to do this, she can't just have the five million start-up capital funded by Chu Yuanxi, the key is ability. But she even manages on paper, and sales is a god?

Liu Lu found her a few capable people to work with and form a management team, but there were no sales masters among them. In this era, there are fewer and fewer on-site sales gurus, and a large number of sales are moved online, and then according to the formulaic streamlined way of brainless marketing.

Although this online marketing model often evolves, as long as you keep up with it at any time, online sales are afraid that the action is too slow to be beaten out of the generation difference, and the previous effective sales methods are invalid, but as long as you master the latest "methodology", the rest is brainless A out.

This is also the reason why a large number of low-quality and low-intelligence mobile games can be popular, and copycat mobile games are obviously the most typical commodity in the era of online sales.

"But you still know a sales instructor?

"Hey, of course the people I know are wild, and there is nothing unwild about being a self-media. The person I invited is very powerful, you had better shoot a video as a teaching material to show the newcomer repeatedly, if the old salesman can't understand the learning ability, spit out the old and accept the new as soon as possible. ”

Chu Yuanxi was proud when he spoke, because this person is not invited by ordinary people. People don't engage in sales anymore, but instead play Douyin, rely on Douyin to spread their own ideas to attract fans, and then make money through the fan economy, and make money by paying to share their sales knowledge, isn't it much easier than doing sales itself?

Therefore, as an evergreen tree in the Douyin M world and a clear stream in fact, Ba people naturally have the opportunity to contact such people, and the advantage of doing self-media is that they have the opportunity to meet all kinds of people, and people have to sell their own face.

So on the 28th, there was a conference call for financing in the evening, and Chu Yuanxi had time to audit the sales class in the afternoon.

Feng Lin's own leased headquarters is also near the Ba people, so he passed by as soon as he took a step, but the site was much simpler, nothing more than a normal large open office. At this time, it was arranged into a few rows of seats outside the podium, and Feng Lin sat at the front and listened to the lecture of Mr. Zhou, a sales expert.

You must know that this person has published a book, Chu Yuanxi really turned it over, and knew that he was not a salesperson who advocated "words", and at the same time had a deeper understanding of channels, distributors, products and services, so he introduced him to Feng Lin. And this person is not like other sales champions and sales queens who have transformed into micro-businesses, which is very rare.

However, he is also a person who believes in Tom Hopkins's concept of "what you sell, what matters is how you sell", so Chu Yuanxi never moved the idea of pulling him into a well-off.

As a result, Mr. Zhou just made an opening remark and was saying: "Business is to make 'strangers' have 'will', so it is called business." Selling is to show personal charm, and selling goods is actually to show yourself as a salesperson. So it doesn't matter what we sell, what we sell is not the product, but the function of the product......"

As soon as he said this, Chu Yuanxi's phone began to vibrate, and he had to run out quickly, because it was Xu Xin's call, asking him to hurry back to the company.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yuanxi wondered, Xu Xin had already arrived at Xiaokang, and she had to participate in the conference call at night. Although childcare is not deserved, the degree of attention must be shown.

As a result, Xu Xin on the other end of the phone said in an extremely calm tone: "The representative of SoftBank is here." ”

"Huh, Li Jingfei?"

"Yes, there's one more piece of news. Xu Xin paused, "You haven't added Zhang Wu's WeChat, have you?"

"No, it was the first time we met. ”

Xu Xin turned a screenshot with his hand.

Chu Yuanxi looked at his heart and said in his heart, what a thief, there is you! Zhang Wu's circle of friends first praised Chu Yuanxi for being a promising young man, and the value of his assets was similar to that of their beautiful old Zhang Zong. Mr. Zhang's Forbes ranking last year was just not within the top 100 in the country, so the attention aroused was not high, in fact, it was just the name of the general Sun Shan, which shows how awesome Chu Yuanxi started from scratch in two years.

After complimenting him, he openly talked about Chu Yuanxi's desire to form a strategic alliance, but after a heated discussion within Mido, they finally decided to explore the value of convenience stores in local life.

Chu Yuanxi is definitely not in the mood to continue listening to the lectures of the sales master, although Zhang Wu said very politely, but there is no such thing, I will say good things to you, even if it is not sincere, but how do you know that I am not sincere? This is a public slap in the face! Especially before the telephone financing meeting.

But this kind of thing is inevitable, and I mainly blame myself. In fact, it is not impossible to push back the meeting with Zhang Wu, and there are several considerations for the financing node to be arranged without considering the meeting time.

The first thing that comes to mind is that if there is really a strategic combination, it will certainly not be an agreement that can be reached quickly, such as the question of priority and secondary? That is, who listens to whom. The strategic alliance is nothing more than the exchange and sharing of interests, and Chu Yuanxi's idea is that in the process of negotiation, Xiaokang will take out the AI community e-commerce function in Milestone 6 and become a very weighty weight to guide Meiduo to accept more of his own requirements.

If you come up with milestone 6 and then talk to others, it is likely that people have already started copycats, Meiduo is a giant retailer with an online system, and there are a few strong people in domestic supermarkets, and the copycat can't be online content or copycats can't be purely functional?

This AI community e-commerce is when Zhang Wu said, "We really lack functions, but why don't you do community e-commerce if you are so awesome", Xu Xin said that Chu Yuanxi has an alternative. This solution cannot be achieved without opening stores in residential areas and office buildings, and the key lies in data.

The second thought is that without strategic integration, this possibility is even more likely. It doesn't matter if it's not an alliance, as long as Chu Yuanxi expresses this will, there must be many investors who are optimistic, such as Lao Ning of CC Investment, who saw it very well on the spot. CC, which has recently disappeared from the investment market, has even come up with real money to make a statement, which is quite advantageous and can be used as the ballast stone of the telephone financing meeting.

As for Xu Xin's 200 million, it was almost meaningless.

The third is that Chu Yuanxi really doesn't want to make a fresh match. Meiduo and Xiaokang are basically on the same track, and it is easy to crash when making money and merging. When merging and apportioning, the price war is cheap, all of them are Duan Luting's generation, which Chu Yuanxi is very unhappy about, he would rather fight a price war for users than fight for mergers and acquisitions, the former is meaningful and can educate users, but the latter does not.

But these are all advantages, and the disadvantage is that as it is now, the other party's quick and public refusal is definitely worse for more investors than not having this matter, because no matter how much it is whitewashed, the things that Xiaokang actively operates are rejected.

This made Chu Yuanxi wonder for a while, could it be that he had leaked the fact that he regarded Meiduo as the only rival earlier? But no, he knew this in his heart, and he had never told anyone about it. But why is the hostility of the other side so strong?

Is it because I'm too handsome?

When Chu Yuanxi went back, he found that Li Jingfei was talking to Yuan Yu. "Hey, you're not right, it's not like Chu Yuanxi, I said last time that I wanted war investment, and there should be an exclusivity period, why did he send an email to start a financing call as soon as he turned his face? What do you think this makes me do?"

"I didn't tell you anything?" Chu Yuanxi knocked on the door frame and came in, "I'll send you an email at the same time." ”

He said to himself, "Isn't what I told you clear enough at the time?" I said that you should think about it, and the translation is "you can pull it down"!

In fact, Chu Yuanxi knew what he was doing, and it was of a nature to announce his non-cooperation with the Meiduo circle of friends, but there were more than 10,000 comments on the change of nationality, and now it is Chu Yuanxi who has publicly expressed financing, so it is ...... Anyway, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one should pretend to be Zhang Fei.

I saw Li Jingfei seeing Chu Yuanxi come in, his face was full of unhappiness, and he immediately replied after listening to him: "But I told others that SoftBank plans to invest in a well-off war." The war pitch is basically a solo pitch, how can you let me explain?"

Chu Yuanxi immediately said with a curious face: "I should ask you this, what's the matter with you making this public? Aren't you scaring away my potential investors? I didn't even bother with you!"

"I'm talking about 'intended'!"

"If you want to say that you have already voted, then you are suspected of fraud!"

Li Jingfei hatefully put down a sentence: "Yes, you and I can't afford to mess with me, Sun Dasheng is not very happy on his side, he won't vote, you can play by yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he walked out, Yuan Yu wanted to chase, but was stopped by Chu Yuanxi's gaze.

He shook his hand at Xu Xin, and waited for Li Jingfei to really go away, and then said to Yuan Yu: "I didn't use it to test Li Jingfei when I let the wind out, I just didn't want to play with him." ”

"Why?" Yuan asked worriedly, such a large sum of money flew away, as a CFO, it was not an ordinary distress.

"Don't you think the Great Sage's money is poisonous? Which one of the people who has taken the Great Sage's money recently is better? The only one who has more temperament is Grabi. ”

"You're talking too unscientifically, aren't you?"

Chu Yuanxi hehe, "I don't talk about science, but I talk about cause and effect." ”

Xu Xin sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and said in her heart that this Yuan Yu couldn't hold her breath, and she was far worse than her brother. No wonder Chu Yuanxi only arranged for her to do some technical work such as mergers and acquisitions. Needless to say, Chu Yuanxi didn't want to take the Great Sage's money, she understood it very well, and she didn't want to see the Great Sage's face?

I only heard Chu Yuanxi ask, "What were you talking about before I came just now?"

"It's just some technology, didn't you let me experience a version?"

"Why do I rely on him to always inquire about our secrets? You can also talk about this?" Chu Yuanxi snorted coldly, and said in his heart Li Jingfei, he has a criminal record, and he always does this kind of thing in the melon field and Li Xia, saying that he has no problem, do you believe it?

"What you gave me was not the full version, I didn't have a complete experience at all, and you are still afraid that I will leak secrets?
