Chapter 111: Sales Explode
On the thirteenth floor, the staff of the Yigou headquarters suddenly became larger, and a group of computer and software engineers came to the big office early every day, or typed on the keyboard or communicated with each other.
Some of the serious atmosphere is at odds with the active working environment of the translator.
"Will Yigou have any new projects?" an employee quietly asked Qian Yi.
Qian Yi said: "What does the employee handbook say, do your own essential work, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”
The employee grinned and cautiously returned to his seat, Qian Yi had never been so serious.
Xiao Ming came back to the company every once in a while to check the progress of the engineers, and now part of his energy is also focused on the school's studies, and some of the courses with fewer hours have entered the final stage, Xiao Ming needs to prepare well for the final exam.
November 10th.
These days will be the day of the Internet carnival in Xia Guo, under the test of encouraging consumption, netizens will go crazy shopping after the early hours of this day, and the sales of the Warwick MATE series and the number of activations of Ozawa's voice assistant will affect the future of Yigou.
After dinner, the boys in the 613 dormitory did not eat chicken collectively, but sat on the seats and swiped their mobile phones wildly.
"There is a 200 coupon for Warwick MATE20 tonight, and you can grab one if you have a rare opportunity!" Chen Fang said.
"I was going to grab a few down jackets for the winter and froze to death. ”
"I haven't washed my hair for a week, I'm just waiting to grab a bottle of shampoo today, and get 20 free for JD bath products over 50!" This is Gong Lieyang's goal of participating in 1111.
Xue Hai said angrily: "I just said that there is a strange smell in our bedroom, and it turns out that you kid!"
Chen Fang laughed, "Yoko, I suggest you snap up an electric hair clipper, shave yourself into a bald head, and wipe your hair with a towel, the money and water bills for shampoo are left, and the hair clipper is charged in the classroom, so that the electricity bill is also saved." ”
Gong Lieyang was not modest at all, and said, "This is a good idea. ”
The crowd was speechless.
"Xiao Ming, what are you going to buy?"
Xiao Ming said: "I'll just join in the fun." ”
Xiao Ming paid attention to the sales of Yigou Translation after the member discount event held on Double 11, and paid more attention to the sales of the MATE series of mobile phones.
Nov. 11, early in the morning.
People have participated in this crazy Internet event, either voluntarily or by force.
According to background data, the sales of Huawei mobile phones exceeded 100 million in less than four minutes, and MATE20 jumped to the top of the list in the sales of various mobile phones, selling more than 1,000 units in three minutes.
Sales are still growing, an hour later, in the statistics of mobile phone sales, this year Huawei surpassed O and V mobile phones for the first time to become the first place! Among them, the biggest contribution is Huawei's MATE20 mobile phone.
"Finally got it!" Chen finally used the voucher in his hand an hour after it was out of stock on the MATE20 official website.
"I'll finally be able to experience what Ozawa's voice is like in a few days. Chen Fang couldn't sleep tonight, he repeatedly watched the parameters and test videos of MATE20, especially the part of Ozawa's voice control of multiple software, and watched it seven or eight times.
The crazy Double 11 lasted until the early hours of the morning, and on November 11, the students of Jiangcheng University dedicated most of their time to major shopping websites.
On the afternoon of November 11, Ma Yanjun called Xiao Ming, and his voice was quite excited.
"Boss, do you know how much the MATE series has been sold so far?"
Ma Yanjun couldn't wait for Xiao Ming's answer, and said urgently: "6.8 million! 6.8 million units! Breaking the record of all Warwick mobile phones sold in one day!"
Although it is still two or three days before the phone reaches the consumer, it is not entirely certain whether the consumer will use the Ozawa language.
But if you compare the sales of the Huawei MATE series of mobile phones on Double 11 last year in recent years, Xiao Ming will find that the sales of the MATE series have been much more than last year, and Ozawa's voice has contributed a lot.
"Thank you!"
Ma Yanjun hasn't slept a good night's sleep in the past few days.
Ma Yanjun said: "There is still half a month to go before the first window of the contract, and I will pay close attention to the use of Ozawa's voice." ”
Ma Yanjun just hung up the phone here, and Qian Yi's phone called, and it must have been good news to call so early.
Really.
Qian Yi said excitedly: "Boss, as of five o'clock this afternoon, the number of various VIP consumers of Yigou has increased by 1.145 million, and our VIP sales have reached 32 million yuan!
Good news indeed!
If the hot sales of Warwick MATE20 represent the future of Yigou, then the hot sales of Yigou Translation VIP represent the present!
It means that the employees of Yigou can live a good life at the end of the year.
VIP's sales reached 32 million yuan, which is enough to prove that Yigou has jumped from a small Internet company to the middle and upper reaches of the entire Internet industry.
The sales volume can reach 32 million in one day, so Yigou has enough strength to negotiate with those third-party download platforms. Reduced the current 30% to 50% commission rate to 20% or 10%.
Don't underestimate the commission, according to the current commission ratio, only about 18 million of the 32 million Yigou got it.
Xiao Ming immediately arranged a task for Qian Yi and said: "I'll take care of it on the Huawei platform, you talk to lentils, penguins, Xiaomi, OV, 360 and other platforms to see if it can be reduced to about 20%." ”
The very important reason why many mobile phones are reluctant to use the Android system platform and are willing to develop the system in depth on the basis of Android is that their own deeply customized system comes with an application market, and these application markets are the most important gold-absorbing platforms for major mobile phone manufacturers. As long as you have consumption on the app - King Pesticide buys skins, eats chickens to buy images, recharges VIP for major games, etc., the platform will have a commission.
Qian Yi understands the importance of this matter to the survival of Yigou, and said: "I have already contacted major platforms and am applying for price adjustments. ”
Needless to say, on the Warwick side, because Yigou has a strategic partnership, the commission is reduced to 10%.
But Qian Yi's side didn't go well.
Negotiations with lentils, the largest third-party app market, reached an impasse.
Because of the large number of programs and wide coverage of lentils, it has become a third-party application market loved by many users, with more than 100 million users, even exceeding the application market customized by some mobile phones.
Lentils, which have a unique advantage, have enough hole cards in the negotiation of the commission.
If the monthly consumption of the APP is less than 500,000, then 40% will be drawn, and if it is more than 500,000, then the part exceeding 500,000 will be 50%.
On the day of Double 11, more than 1 million users downloaded Yigou through lentils, and the consumption generated was 4.13 million, and lentils insisted on taking a commission of 2.015 million.
