Chapter 170: Dealers Gather
After the iPod music player became popular in the United States, distributors from all over the world came to Silicon Valley Electronics Group to get the right to represent the iPod. But Henry deliberately hung them and did not immediately agree. He will have to wait for the second week of the rush to talk to these dealers, and then the bargaining chips will be more weighty!
On the other hand, with the passage of time, there will be more and more dealers, and the more dealers, the greater the competition?
During this period, the factories of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group were all started, and other production was stopped, and workers were arranged to produce iPods. At the same time, China's Hongnian Technology Company is also actively producing iPods. In Shenzhen, 5,000 workers have been recruited to start training!!
Actually, there is nothing to train in.
Except for a few that require some technical work, others such as assembly, OEM and whatever, you can get started when you come!
The first batch of users who grabbed their iPods quickly exchanged music coins for songs. 100 music coins may seem like a lot, but when you use them, they are not enough. Because no matter how good the song is, you will get tired of listening to it, and after you get tired of listening to it, you will naturally want to buy other songs!
The profitability of Tiantian Music Company is not obvious for the time being, but the trend is obvious, and with the big sales of iPod, it will definitely make a lot of money!
At this time, the record company also began to realize the development potential of Tiantian Music Company. However, the record company is still weighing which side will make more money, after all, selling a record is more than a dozen dollars more expensive than selling a song!
The record company actually prefers to cooperate with Sony, but as soon as the iPod came out, the Sony Walkman suddenly suffered a catastrophe. The latest Walkman MiniDisc, despite its excellence, has been a breakthrough in size, appearance, and sound quality. But compared to iPod, it's really too inferior!
The advent of the iPod. It was simply born out of thin air and shocked the world!
Silicon Valley Electronics Group was able to take the unusual path and actually came up with the idea of combining music in MP3 format on the Internet with hardware to form a new type of music player!! for this. Silicon Valley Electronics Group has even developed a micro-hard drive !!
At present, whether it is a memory card or flash memory, its maximum capacity is only a few MB, and it is completely impossible to store songs. The only thing that can store a lot of songs is the hard drive. However, the current hard disk is too large in size, and if it is made into an MP3 player, it is not convenient to carry it at all!
Silicon Valley Electronics Group overcame all these difficulties to create an iPod that was very small, but had a large amount of storage. It was an instant hit, and the popularity was jaw-dropping to record labels. Originally, they had the idea of cooperating with Sony, but now it seems that they have to switch camps and cooperate with Silicon Valley Electronics Group!!
The number of iPods is still small, but once the iPods are sold in the millions. Even tens of millions of units, record companies will make a lot of money because of it!
So, the key is to look at the second iPod rush event!
If it is popular, the record label will not hesitate to join the Silicon Valley Electronics Group lineup, and vice versa, support the Sony MiniDisc Walkman!!
Time passed little by little, and April 8 was fast approaching.
With the anticipation of countless people, the second week of iPod flash sales has officially begun!
This time, the degree of attention is many times stronger than the last time, and it can be said that it is a global attention!
For a time, the traffic of Nicholas Shopping Network increased by 150% in vain!!
No one knows how many iPods will be sold in this flash sale! When they saw that there were 50,000 iPods, everyone was pleasantly surprised! They felt that they could grab one of the iPods with so many iPods this time......
However. The truth is......
Millions of people across the United States are snapping up iPods, and those with poor internet speeds or slow movements can't grab iPods. Even in less than five minutes, a full 50,000 iPods were sold out immediately!! this time, Henry did not let people take the initiative to close the trading channel, but 50,000 iPods were really snapped up within five minutes!!
Countless people who didn't snap up their iPods. Immediately depressed and regretful!
"Damn, last time 10,000 units was ten minutes, but this time 50,000 units have been reduced to five minutes, this is too exaggerated!!!
"There's a beautiful woman upstairs, isn't it? I have an iPod!!"
"I'm a beauty, a big beauty!"
"Hehe, add me ICQ, let's talk slowly......"
“……”
Henry returned to Silicon Valley Electronics Group from Nicholas Group, and at this time, dealers all over the United States were already blocking the company's door!
"Here comes Mr. Williams!!"
At this time, a loud shout was heard in the crowd, and immediately, everyone immediately rushed towards Henry!
"Mr. Williams, I want to represent an iPod music player!"
"Mr. Williams, I want to represent an iPod music player!!"
“……”
The bodyguard stopped them two meters away, Henry got out of the car, waved his hand at them, and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, let's talk about it when you enter the company!"
The crowd answered, and followed Henry.
"Chairman, the reception hall has been set up!" said Harrison as Henry walked into the office.
"Hmm......" Henry nodded to him slightly, and led the group to the reception hall. Due to the large number of dealers, Silicon Valley Electronics Group also deliberately arranged a super-large living room that can accommodate one or two hundred people!
Henry sat directly on the rostrum, and the lower position was the dealer's seat, Henry looked around, dense, almost full!
Once everyone was seated, Henry asked, "Do you know about the second week of iPod player sales?"
"Yes!!" the dealers said in unison.
Hearing this, Henry smiled, "Since I know, then I won't talk nonsense, you should also know how popular iPod is now!! so it's not easy to get iPod agency!"
At this time, Henry looked at Harrison, who immediately stood up and said into the microphone: "If you want to get the proxy right of the iPod, you must pay a certain amount of agency fee." Depending on the state, the agency fee varies from state to state! Later, we will send each of you a document with the price clearly marked on it, and the agency fee for each state will be written. In addition, Silicon Valley Electronics Group has the right to withdraw the partnership with those iPod agents with extremely poor performance!"
After Harrison finished speaking, the employees of Silicon Valley Electronics Group came to the lobby and handed out documents to the dealers. The dealer who got the documents looked carefully, and the agency fee in New York and California was extremely expensive, with an agency fee of $25 million, while Alaska was the cheapest, with an agency fee of only $2 million.
At this time, Henry said: "The agency fee on the document is just a reference, if you want to get the agency, you have to go through the bidding before you can decide! Everyone writes down the agency they want to get on a piece of paper, and they will hand it over!"
