Chapter 158: Apple Store

In this marketing plan, Columbia Records not only reaped super platinum record sales, but also obtained a lot of advertising revenue from Apple Inc. and the Micro Software Store, and the profits far exceeded the single business model of simply selling records.

Apple, on the other hand, took a ride and rubbed a hot spot, which made Apple computers and Ipod a big spotlight, and the sales of products soared, making Jobs's old face smile all day long.

Although the sales volume did not have much impact on his status, the sales figures made him have a great increase in his voice in the board of directors.

As for the micro-hardware software mall, due to regional differences, its software pricing is much higher than that of the Celestial Empire. Although the sales volume is not as good as that of the Celestial Empire, the profit is far exceeded. The published sales data are all synchronized on the homepage of the official website. Let those developers and companies who are not active in launching the English version regret it.

Sam's people are really making money! In contrast, the software market in the Celestial Empire still needs a long time to cultivate.

With the help of Zhang Yi's continuous popularity, VV chat software squeezed into the Sam Country chat software list for the first time.

At present, second only to ICQ, MSN and skype, ranking fourth, Zhang Yi is already very satisfied with such an amazing performance in such a short time.

Zhang Yi doesn't care too much about these competitors in the front, he has too many ways to boost the installed capacity.

For example, he is currently preparing to add the campus address book function to the chat software, which is a dessert he has prepared for his three major competitors. I hope that these guys who are temporarily leading can hold on and not surrender and admit defeat too easily.

In the company's temporarily rented conference room, the management of Sam's Country branch was in a meeting, and Zhang Yi was just sitting there, not participating in the actual discussion.

The high-paid financial director cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Zhang, the latest financial statistics have come out. ”

Zhang Yi straightened his face and motioned for her to continue.

"In a month's time, the record has already sold 25 million copies, and we will earn $200 million from it because of the VAM agreement. ”

In 1999, when the economic crisis was still spreading around the world, a new company that was established less than two months ago achieved such amazing figures.

Everyone applauded wildly involuntarily, and Zhang Yi also stood up and nodded to everyone, thanking everyone for their joint efforts.

For Zhang Yi's humility and courtesy, these proud old beauties can't help but be convinced.

It was the man in front of him who created this album that became popular all over the world, and the seven songs were completely created by him alone, the first classic, which was the root cause of the company's soaring profits.

The treasurer's admiring gaze made Zhang Yi feel a little proud in his heart, but he only had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't show so excitement.

In addition, thanks to the popularity of records, the sales of Apple computers have also risen, which has objectively prompted the sales of software in the micro-hardware software mall to rise sharply, and at present, it is close to $50 million in sales. Microsoft system's store sales are also close to $50 million. ”

The applause rang out again, and Zhang Yi accepted it calmly.

After the applause stopped, Zhang Yi stood up and said: "The company's profit rise this time is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone, I announce that the company's management will give a bonus of $10,000 per person and $5,000 per ordinary employee." ”

Everyone, including the stern-looking treasurer, jumped high with a happy smile on their faces. Lulana was even more exaggerated, rushed forward directly, hugged Zhang Yi's face, and took a bite hard.

was so frightened that Zhang Yi almost jumped on the table.

Your sister, at that moment just now, he almost thought that he had been hit by a heavy tank, and his fat body was about to catch up with the plaster country sumo.

Everyone looked at the blood-red lip print on Zhang Yi's face and laughed.

He wiped it a few times, but he couldn't wipe the lipstick marks off his face, so he had to give up.

"One more thing, very important, do you want to hear it?"

Hearing this, everyone stopped the noise and looked at Zhang Yi, not knowing what he wanted to say?

"Bonus that!"

Zhang Yi, who dragged out his voice, made everyone hate itchy, what happened to the bonus?

"Winnings are after taxes!"

As soon as these words came out, Lulana looked at Zhang Yi with a look of surprise. Looking at her posture, she has to have another heavy tank, ready to hit the rhythm!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi shouted: "The meeting is dismissed."

Then, grease the soles of your feet and slip away.

The news spread, and the floor where the company was located fell into a ghost crying god.

The straightforward Sam countryman, singing and dancing, fell into a carnival.

In this era, most of Sam's people have been kidnapped by credit cards, and they like to spend ahead of time, borrow and spend, and most of their monthly salaries are used to repay consumer loans, or rent, children's education expenses, etc., and the so-called middle class basically has no savings.

And Sam's Country's personal tax level may be the highest in the world, such as a $10,000 bonus, and in his heart, it is not at most $6,000.

However, this young small boss directly announced that all bonuses are after tax, which means that personal taxes are paid by the company. This is equivalent to three to four months' salary, which is like pie in the sky, so happy.

The family can change to a better second-hand car, the children's favorite Apple computers can also be bought, the wife's favorite cosmetics can also dare to start, and the lover's jewelry can also be cashed in.

And all of this was brought by the young boss Zhang Yi, who was worshiped by the Sam people.

Employees, all kinds of performances, Zhang Yi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but snort softly.

This is only the first step, and as you get used to what I have given you, you will become more and more inseparable from me.

As an out-and-out outsider, if you want to take root in a country like Sam's Country, you must have a foundation, and these employees are one of his foundations.

In this land, what dedication and company culture are told to employees, they are all nonsense, and there is no financial stimulation, and these are naked hooligans.

Things are over on Sam's side for the time being.

dialed out the phone and said to the person on the other end: "Bai Jie, in the next period of time, you will take those employees who have inspected the location of Internet cafes in Shanghai, Shangjing, Haijin, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, these big cities, to prepare to open Apple stores. There is only one requirement, it must be in the downtown area, the core area, the property is best to be able to buy its own property, if it is really impossible to buy, you must sign a 10-year long contract. ”

"Okay, I see!"

"After the negotiation is completed, there will be several lawyers from Sam's Country who will join your negotiation team, and the contract details should be based on their opinions, understand?"

"yes, I see!"

After a pause, Bai Jie asked in a low voice, "When will you come back, I miss you!"
