Chapter 97: But it didn't

I didn't invite celebrities to come over to help, and I didn't set up a stage to find someone to sing and dance.

After cutting the ribbon so simply, Han Chudong turned around and told the clerks to be serious, took out a stack of red envelopes from their pockets, and distributed them to them.

Each red envelope contains fifty US dollars, including the store manager, a total of six, including a black man and a white man, all of whom have been trained and studied for about half a month, and the red envelope is a little reward.

More than 40 customers who had been waiting for a long time suddenly poured into the store and went straight to the branded appliances with the words "limited-time promotion" written on them.

Compared with local brands in the United States, today's home appliances are more popular, and the price is relatively low.

Most of Baofeng's Japanese goods come from a Chinese buyer, who buys all kinds of household appliances from there and then resells them to stores in need.

The exchange of information is not convenient, businessmen like this are everywhere, some time ago, someone found Han Chudong and wanted to buy his toys for sale, but unfortunately the agency has been sold, so he had to give up.

When the No. 1 store opened, Han Chudong personally held a loudspeaker to attract passers-by.

Now there is no need to do that, a clerk recorded a promotional slogan, put on a stereo and played it on a loop at the door.

Each type of electrical appliance has one or two models for special sale, which is often a low-end brand with a lower purchase price and a larger profit margin.

Many passers-by were attracted by the scene and walked into the store one after another, feeling that the electrical shopping mall with a wide variety of products like this was quite interesting, and they could even buy vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers.

Mr. Joe Austin stood beside Han Chudong and secretly observed the expression on his face.

This young Chinese boss shows a much more stable personality than his real age, and to be honest, Mr. Austin is actually a little in awe of him.

It has nothing to do with more money or less money, the main thing is that Han Chudong is too calm, he can always make the most suitable decision, and his attitude has always been very resolute.

This made Joe Austin unable to refute any of Han Chudong's decisions, and there seemed to be no need to refute them, as if there was a kind of magic that made people involuntarily believe in him.

What the bosses usually say, they follow Han Chudong's ideas.

When they were first recruited, Mr. Austin and others thought that they could finally experience the happiness of being a company executive.

But no.

These people were all suppressed by the Chinese small bosses.

In addition to daily management, there is almost no need for others to worry about specific business aspects, and Han Chudong has done long-term planning, personnel arrangements, etc.

In the case of Mr. Austin, the main task in the near future is just to keep an eye on the employees of the chains, so that they do not be lazy, do not slack off, and the accounting problems are managed by an independent financial department, and the sales and funds are counted every day, which has nothing to do with Joe Austin.

White management doesn't have much power at all, so naturally they don't turn against customers.

Han Chudong felt that he was not very good at management, so he thought about more problems than other bosses, and paid more attention to the distribution of management rights.

That's right.

The two companies have just started, and the number of management personnel is too small, and if anyone has bad intentions, it is difficult to ensure the safety of funds, and it is not yet time to delegate power, but it also means that he has to deal with more affairs personally.

In this way, he still has some talent in management, at least he doesn't lack the heart to believe anyone casually.

Seeing that there are constantly customers asking about the specific performance parameters of the product, Han Chudong told: "Joe, replace the product label as soon as possible, don't just write the name and price, but also write the performance and power consumption of the product, such as refrigerator capacity, power consumption, shell material, etc., try to be as detailed as possible, so as not to ask the clerk, and make a brief description of each product." ”

"I see, I'll change it later. ”

After Mr. Joe Austin finished speaking, he asked, "You said last time that the stores you will open in the future will only be bigger, so the small retail stores of two or three thousand square feet in the past will not continue to increase?"

"It depends, but that's right. If you know where to find a store with a wide range of products and the prices are relatively cheap, I believe that consumers will be willing to make a special trip to buy it, so it will be easy to manage. ”

The strength is still weak, and Han Chudong is worried that someone will steal his entrepreneurial ideas, so he didn't explain it carefully.

His idea is to open storm electrical appliances in the bustling downtown areas of various places, so that people can visit shopping malls and shop at the same time, but also come to their own electrical appliances stores to have a look, just like the sales strategy used by Best Buy and other companies.

Since there are ready-made models to learn from, there is no need to toss around, those models can make the enterprise grow, and there must be merit in them.

Han Chudong is not arrogant enough to think that he can find another way.

Before starting a business, there were not many chips in hand, and the threshold of home appliance stores was lower than that of supermarkets, and the market size was relatively smaller.

He now has no idea of moving closer to the supermarket chain model such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour, if he wants to get a piece of the cake, seize the time to make quick money from other places, and then invest in these companies with excellent development prospects.

Think about it from another angle.

At present, when Wal-Mart opens a new store, Han Chudong may open five or ten storm electrical appliances, because the latter is easier to operate.

After the scale increases, if the company is sold and sold off, it may be possible to take half of Wal-Mart's shares, which will definitely be much easier than developing into the supermarket field by yourself.

I have seen in the newspapers that Wal-Mart, which has long been listed, currently has only more than 40 stores.

The profit in the first two quarters of this year was only more than $5 million, spending too much money on expansion and operations, and the performance after the listing was average.

If you really want to invest in it, there are opportunities next, and there are investment opportunities everywhere, which are dazzling.

Han Chudong was lost for a while, and then he figured out a truth - he would never be able to make all the money in this world.

So just calm down and take a step at a time.

If you only pay attention to the money itself, then life should be boring.

often meets with Joe Austin, and often communicates with him, from the third store to today's eighth store, Han Chudong will be present in person, and gradually become a little numb.

He didn't talk much more, and after talking to the Los Angeles Daily News reporter for a while, he drove away alone.

On average, Mango Toys Company can bring him $40,000 in profits a day recently, and several storm appliances can also bring $3,000 or 4,000, not counting the income of Fisher Toys and Erhe Toys Co., Ltd.

Han Chudong attaches great importance to the next profit growth point, and he plans to build a dry battery for testing today.

Several Caltech students have already made raw materials such as zinc, manganese dioxide, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide in a Chinatown warehouse, and some are making carbon rods by hand.

According to the chemical equation for which the invention patent has been submitted, all they need to do is select the material ratio and work out the production process......
