After Steve Jobs answered two questions, the reporter knew each other very well, thanked him, put away the microphone and turned away, looking for the next target.

On the other side, Steve Jobs was ready to get up and leave, but before leaving, he took a ThinkPad and ordered a simon 1.

I took the ThinkPad because I wanted to understand the processor and system independently developed by IBM, and the simon 1 was completely for changing the phone, and his current mobile phone is a Motorola 8900, which is too big and very inconvenient to carry.

The bigwigs of other tech companies also left, but each took something with them to a greater or lesser extent, some with a mobile phone, some with a computer, and some with both.

And with the departure of the bigwigs, the reporters with long guns and short cannons have also left, today's news materials are enough for them to report, and now they want to go back to the company to sort out these materials, the competition in the media industry is also very large, and this industry pays attention to a fast word.

And the number of people in the self-operated store has not decreased with the departure of the bigwigs and the media, but more and more, people are curious, seeing a store densely packed with many people, don't care what it sells, don't care if you buy it or not, this excitement is definitely going to make up.

"It's a nice phone, it's small, and it's a lot of color. ”

"Miss, this is a mobile phone just launched by IBM, called glory 1, it is not only small and easy to carry, but also rich in color, like blue, this is very suitable for a fashionable lady like you, if you like it, I can give you a detailed introduction to its many practical functions. ”

There is an IBM salesperson in front of every three display machines, and these people have undergone professional sales training, product training, and etiquette training.

"Okay, tell me what it does. ”

"Okay, you see this phone not only has a phone book, a calendar, an alarm clock function, it also has a game function, you see this little game is called the snake, every time you eat a bean, its body will become a little longer, until it dies. ”

When a young lady like this comes to buy a mobile phone, the salesperson will mainly introduce the entertainment function in the mobile phone.

"I'll try. The young lady took the phone and started playing, and after a few minutes, she was having a lot of fun, and Snake could become everyone's favorite game in the era of all kinds of games in the future, not to mention the 90s, when games were relatively scarce.

"How much does this phone cost?" the young lady decided to buy the phone after playing for a while.

"$499, like you who like to play games, I recommend a battery and charger, the battery is $30 a piece, the charger is $15, so that your phone usage time will be greatly increased. ”

"Okay, then help me with that blue, and then put on a battery and charger. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

The salesman said and trotted to the warehouse to help the young lady get the mobile phone, and his heart flew with joy, this was the fifth mobile phone he had sold.

The salary of a salesperson like him is mainly the basic salary plus commission, the basic salary is not more than $50 a day, but he has a commission of $7 for every Glory 1 sold, a $10 commission for the sale of a Simon 1, a commission of $2 for the sale of a battery, and a commission of $1 for the sale of a charger. For example, he sold 3 Simon 1, 2 Glory 1, 5 batteries, 5 chargers, and a commission of $59, and that's just the number he sold in one morning.

As for the salespeople who sell computers on the second floor, the basic salary is also $50, but their commissions are much higher, selling a ThinkPad V 1 for $4999 is a $40 commission, and selling a migicnpad A1 for $3999 is a $30 commission. Selling three computers a day is a commission of about $100, plus the basic salary, their salary is nearly $4,000 a month.

John implements a high salary policy for sales, and he is not afraid that you will get more money from your high salary, but he is afraid that you can only get a basic salary every month.

In the evening, when the sun sets, the lights of the city are lit up one by one, and people who get off work after a day of work start shopping and entertainment life. IBM's self-operated store in the mall ushered in peak traffic, and the shopping spree continued until 11 p.m., when Fifth Avenue quieted down.

At half past eleven, the IBM self-operated store officially closed, the salesmen went home with their tired bodies, there were too many people on the first day of opening, everyone was busy, and there were still people in the self-operated store, the store manager with the accountant was calculating today's sales, Luo Ruilan, Meg Whitman, and Carly Ophelina were sitting on the side and waiting.

The three of them stayed in the store for a day today, and they were exhausted by now, but none of them went back to rest, and they didn't get today's sales data, and none of them could sleep well.

And it's not just them, all the top executives of IBM haven't slept until now, waiting for sales data.

There is no way, IBM has lost tens of billions of dollars in recent years, and John has invested tens of billions of R&D funds and tens of billions of self-operated store construction fees.

"The sales numbers are out!"

After half an hour of statistics, the accountant finally counted today's sales data.

"How much?" asked Carly Ophelina, anxiously. The PC division has invested billions of dollars in the development of new computers, and if the sales figures are too ugly, Carly Ophelina feels that she will not have the face to meet John.

"Today, we sold 112 ThinkPad V1s for $559888. A total of 187 units of the migicnpad A1 were sold, with a sales price of 747813 US dollars. Simon 1 sold 1,387 units for $1108213. Glory1 sold 2,433 units for $1214067. In the accessories part, 3,102 batteries were sold, with a sales amount of $93,060, and 3,102 chargers were sold, with a sales amount of $46,530, and the total turnover of our store throughout today was a total of $3769571.

In terms of net profit, the ThinkPad V1 is $51,520, the migicnpad A1 is $69,190, the simon1 is $41,610, the glory1 is $43,794, the battery is $15,510, and the charger is $9,306. The total profit of our store today is 230,930 USD. ”

Hearing this sales data, Luo Ruilan and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, this result is not bad, if the data of the eight self-operated stores are like this, then they can be regarded as having an explanation for John.

Soon, the sales data of the other seven self-operated stores came in, and the data was about the same, except for the sales volume of the Los Angeles self-operated store was higher than that of New York, and the other few stores slightly had a net profit of tens of thousands of dollars less than the New York self-operated store.

Finally, after some accounting, the total sales amount of the eight self-operated stores exceeded 10 million on this day, reaching 19348552 US dollars, and the net profit also exceeded 1 million US dollars to 1012113 US dollars.

"Send the sales data to the company, and then everyone will go back to rest after work!"

After listening to the total, Luo Ruilan and the three of them were relieved, and they could finally sleep peacefully tonight.

Soon John Ekes, who had flown back to the company's headquarters, received the data, and when he saw the total number above, he smiled slightly, and asked the accountant to calculate the profit overnight, the company's profit and the profit of the self-operated store are not the same, so it must be recalculated, and finally after half an hour of calculation, IBM's total profit exceeded 10 million, reaching 13522322 US dollars, of which the highest profit was the mobile phone.

This sales result makes John Eks very satisfied, this is only the profit brought to the company by 8 self-operated stores, tomorrow all AT&T stores and consignment companies in the United States will be on IBM products, and the profit of tens of thousands of stores will be an astronomical amount.
