The Rolls-Royce that Han Chudong just bought belongs to the category with a relatively high-end configuration among the same models, with better wheels and a more luxurious interior.

It is often said that the person who drives such a luxury car is often the driver, but he himself likes to experience the pleasure of driving, and he has no idea of hiring a driver for the time being.

Miss Kiko Mochizuki now plays the role of an assistant, and although her driving skills are not too good, she is more cautious and can let her help drive after the occasional drink.

This morning.

After filling up the gas, he came to the No. 8 store of Baofeng Electric and asked someone to come here to discuss business.

A Jewish middleman named Robert Hoffman took the initiative to find Baofeng Electric, saying that he could get a lower price of Yuben home appliances, and cooperated with Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi and other brands.

Mr. Hoffmann, who is in his early thirties, saw Han Chudong driving this kind of car, and after greeting him, his tone was slightly envious: "Great car, I also have a good car, Porsche 911R, which left the factory in 1967 and is very well maintained." ”

"I like the Porsche, but there are fewer seats and a Jaguar E-type at home. ”

Buying a good car makes it easier to socialize, just write "I'm very rich" directly on Han Chudong's face, there is no need to be low-key when it is time to show your fists, and it is not to the point where you need to hide your edge.

"E·type is also a very beautiful car, British car, the quality is very good, in fact, my company is also doing car trade, and the next time you want to buy a car, I can help you get the lowest price." ”

After Mr. Hoffman finished speaking, he handed a cigar to Han Chudong, and he also picked up a cigar himself, without meaning to enter the store, and continued to speak after lighting it: "I know who supplies you now, their prices are too high, at least one or two points higher than the price I give you, and there is an uncle who is in the shipping business, so I can save a lot of money on freight." ”

I heard that the supplier came to the door, so Han Chudong specially rushed here, and when he listened to Robert Hoffman at the moment, he always felt that this guy was a little silly and spoke incoherently.

Curious, he asked, "Do you bring a supply order, take those Sony refrigerators as an example, at what price can you wholesale to me?"

"It depends on how much you need, and I'm sure to have the lowest price anyway. ”

Han Chudong held a cigar in his hand and said, "Mr. Hoffman, you should know that this electrical appliance is currently the best-seller, the quality is good, and the price is cheap. I have so many stores, and they are still expanding, if you have a stable supply channel and the price is relatively low, maybe you can try a batch from you, and the sales will definitely not be too small. ”

"I understand. ”

The Jew named Robert Hoffman took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket and asked again: "Before that, I wanted to know how much your store had a daily turnover, as well as rent and approximate profit margins, and it could make money, right?"

Ever since he met this person, Han Chudong had noticed something strange.

At this moment, he pondered the taste, stared at him with a smile, and said: "You're not a supplier, are you, you treat me like a fool and want to get trade secrets from me?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstand, I'm really a supplier, these are just necessary to understand, different sales can get different purchase prices from me. ”

"Yes, which port does your cargo load from, which port in Los Angeles does it send to, how many days does it take on the way, and how long does it take to declare customs?"

Han Chudong asked a few questions one after another that only middlemen can understand, and seeing that Robert Hoffman was so nervous that he couldn't speak, he was even more sure that his thoughts were right, and said in an unhappy tone: "Such a big person, you can only play this kind of careful trick, see that you are not the material for business, don't delay my time, get out of here!"

The other party's face was red and white for a while, and he didn't humiliate himself anymore, so he left in a gloomy way.

did not wronged Robert Hoffman, this person is indeed disguising himself, trying to find out some news from Han Chudong's mouth, he has a little spare money in his hands, and he is currently working as a director in a department store, thinking about jumping out of his own business.

Play has patents, and the new dry battery that is in the preparatory stage also has a patent, and the best business model to copy belongs to the electric retail industry of storm electrical appliances.

With so many stores opening in a short period of time, it seems that there are already people eyeing them and trying to seize the market.

Isn't it like doing business, when you see that it is profitable, you will rush to it, compete with each other, and even the better stores will be destroyed.

So it seems.

Han Chudong thinks it would be better to take a bigger step and quickly win the Los Angeles market, so that those potential competitors can give up on their own initiative.

Baofeng Electric can borrow money from Mango Toy Company, and it seems that it can also use the company's shares as collateral to go to the bank for loans, because it feels that the market prospect is more impressive, and it is definitely more efficient to use other people's money to expand the business, otherwise some retailers with strong capital are eyeing this market, and the strength is not strong enough at that time, most of the storm electrical companies will be at a disadvantage.

I am aware of the risks, but there are some things that are useless in a hurry.

The previous steps are too big, and it must be left for a period of time to digest, and the number of employees in sales, distribution, and maintenance is insufficient, and it takes a while to cultivate from the inside, and lay a good foundation to continue to develop.

has come to the No. 8 store, Han Chudong drove away the Jew who wanted to be cautious, and then entered the store to inspect by the way.

Tomorrow is November 22nd, Thanksgiving.

Starting today, many companies and schools have been on holiday, because of the full reduction event, a full $100 discount of five dollars, and you can also win a coffee machine by lottery on the spot, and the number of customers in the store is relatively large.

The floor is clean, the goods are neatly arranged, and the small labels printed out on the typewriter are decorated with prices and performance parameters, and decorated with balloons.

Overall, it can satisfy Han Chudong.

After asking the Chinese female store manager for a cup of coffee, he asked, "Today's event has just started, right, how many prizes can be drawn in such a big box?"

"There are many coupons for electrical appliances, and the first prize is a coffee machine, but the probability of catching it accurately from fifty ping-pong balls is very small. The store manager whispered.

A few days ago, Han Chudong discussed the details of the Thanksgiving promotion with Director Joe Austin, and the idea of letting customers draw coupons was his own idea.

At this moment, I took out a few ping pong balls from the box one after another to see, and sure enough, they were all preferential rewards such as "$20 off the washing machine" and "$10 off the TV".

This is a routine, in order to be greedy for a small bargain, many people who originally did not plan to buy this kind of home appliances will also tend to spend money to shop.

At present, seizing the market is more important than making a profit, he is trying to shape the brand image of Baofeng Electric, such as a complete range, low price, convenience, etc., as for the trade-in activities, considering that the number of stores is too small, it can't set off much of a storm, thinking about staying until next year and then carrying out it in Los Angeles.

Han Chudong put the table tennis ball back in the box and said with a smile: "It's hard work, you can take turns off after this time, and the holiday may be busy." ”

"It's okay, double the salary, I asked the other clerks, they don't want to take a holiday, anyway, they can rest for a few days until Christmas. ”

"That's good, let's have a short meeting before the Christmas break, and we'll give you a bonus when the time comes, at least three hundred dollars, and if you don't want it, you can exchange it for equivalent appliances. If business is good next year, I will give you more ...... by the end of next year"
