Sister Hong's case is not an exception, in the four major first-tier cities, there are many customers like her.

Huashang has seven or eight hundred stores in the four first-tier cities, about 200 customers, and each customer opens an average of three stores.

In this kind of big city, of course, no customer has the strength to win the agency or anything, and the company has not put an agent at all.

Some of these customers choose to withdraw their old stores and open stores in small surrounding cities or hometowns, just like Sister Hong. This part of the customer accounts for about 10%, which is not much, which is also very normal.

Because many customers have already settled down, it is impossible to move to another city just because they opened a store, and there are still very few people who can be as free as Sister Hong.

There are about 40% of customers who choose to stick to it, anyway, they can still make money now, it's just to make less money, then stay up, and when they really don't make any money, then withdraw from the store.

Of course, it is not possible for a company to do exactly what its customers want.

Because now during the company's transformation period, it is convenient for customers to withdraw from stores for centralized processing, including recycling the inventory of franchised customers, which can be put on the Meigou website for a special sale.

And it was the company that offered that customers would not have any adverse effects if they withdrew from the store during this time.

If it drags on, customers close their doors and withdraw stores one by one, then there will always be an adverse effect, and those who don't know think that the Huashang brand is going to go out of business, otherwise why have stores been closing down and withdrawing stores.

Therefore, the company also gave a deadline, that is, within half a year, if customers in these cities withdraw from the store, then all inventory goods will be recovered at the original price.

If you withdraw the store after half a year, you will do it according to the contract, and you will return the goods in what proportion you want, and there will be no preferential conditions.

The last half of the customers chose to withdraw the store and close the store directly.

Because these customers have other jobs or careers to do, opening a Huashang store is just a simple investment.

Since there is no money left in the previous two years, and there will be no loss from quitting now, what are you hesitating about, so you simply close the store in accordance with the company's policy.

……

So some time ago, Wang Yan and Lao Hu were busy rectifying the company's affairs.

Moreover, Wang Yan has just taken office not long ago, and she does not need to take any responsibility for the company's performance in 2012.

Therefore, Wang Yan's debriefing did not give too much about the performance in 2012, but only briefly described it, and more space was to tell the outlook of Huashang brand in 2013.

It is worth mentioning that the current spokesperson of the Huashang brand has signed the veteran diva Xie Bing, and Wang Ye personally came forward to make a call.

Originally, he didn't need to come forward, but everyone has known each other for a few years, and saying hello in person can be regarded as friendship.

Receiving Wang Ye's call, Xie Bing was very happy.

Xie Bing is a standard singer, and he is not the kind of artist who sings and acts, there are many opportunities to make movies, but Xie Bing refused.

"I'm just a singer, I've never learned to act, so don't use my false name to fool fans, I know that I can't act at all, and I can't act well. ”

This is Xie Bing's own original words, and he can be regarded as a singer with artistic virtue.

However, in the past few years, it is no longer good to rely on singing alone, so Xie Bing's fame is not as popular as before, and it is also going downhill.

Wang Ye hasn't heard the news of Xie Bing's new album or concert for a long time, the last time Xie Bing held a concert, it seems that it was at the end of 2010, and Xue Yiyi went to be a guest that time.

"Haha, the prince called me personally, the little one is really flattered. Xie Bing said jokingly on the phone.

"Okay, Sister Bing, stop kidding. I've been busy lately, and I haven't seen any movement from you. Wang Ye smiled bitterly.

"It's not that there is no movement, but of course my movements can't be compared with you, they are all reports the size of a tofu block in the corners of newspapers and magazines, of course you can't pay attention to it. Didn't my contract with the original brokerage expire, and I was talking about renewing it recently. Xie Bing explained with a smile.

"Why do you renew your contract when your contract expires, shouldn't you have renewed it early?" Wang Ye said in wonder.

Although he doesn't mix in the entertainment industry, he also knows some things in the circle.

Ordinary brokerage companies are eager to sign lifelong contracts with artists, and big-name stars like Xie Bing will definitely sign long-term contracts.

Moreover, the contract will be renewed one or two years before the expiration of the contract, so I am afraid that these "cash cows" will run away.

Xie Bing smiled bitterly before explaining: "You also know that in the past two years, singers have become more and more difficult to mix, especially pure singers, the album can't be sold, and the concert is losing money." Therefore, many singers have begun to change careers and make TV series and movies or something. ”

"As for me, I can't shoot at all, but the agency has to indicate on the new contract that it will take on at least one movie or TV series every year, and it is on this point that I have not negotiated. ”

Wang Ye suddenly realized, and he also admired Xie Bing's persistence.

But the brokerage company is not wrong, the company must be profitable. A big-name artist like Xie Bing has to eat a lot of resources from the company, and those resources are also paid a lot of money by the company.

Since he has eaten resources, he must make money for the company, so he asked to indicate on the contract that he would take over movies and TV series, so that Xie Bing could put down his body and cater to the market.

"Don't talk about this, by the way, did you call me today for something?" Xie Bing cheered up and asked again.

Originally, Wang Ye wanted to talk to her about Huashang's brand endorsement, but now after listening to Xie Bing's words, Wang Ye has a new idea.

He smiled and said, "This is not in a hurry in advance, so let's do it, you might as well come directly to my Weiye Entertainment Company." I asked Mr. Meng Zimei to talk to you over there, and I will definitely give you the greatest freedom, and it is up to you to sing and do whatever you want. ”

Now that Xie Bing has recovered as a free man, then Wang Ye is not welcome, he has not had a few artists in Weiye Entertainment.

Moreover, Wang Ye doesn't expect that company to make money, Xie Bing is also an old friend, and when he comes to his own company, he can be regarded as being able to take care of it.

When Xie Bing heard this, his heart was warm.

Wang Ye regarded her as a friend, and Xie Bing knew his own situation. Although his name is not small, because he is unwilling to make movies and TV series, he really can't help the company make much money.

Moreover, to maintain the fame of a diva-level artist without a significant decline, the company has to pay a lot of price.

If you really want to sign a contract according to her requirements, it is estimated that the brokerage company will not only not make money, but also lose a lot.

Xie Bing has not renewed her contract with the current company, and it is not that she has no other ideas in her heart, in fact, she also wants to go to Weiye Entertainment.

Because now everyone in the circle knows that Weiye Entertainment is rich!

In the entertainment industry, if you have money, you will have resources, and only with resources will you have the opportunity to become popular.

Behind Weiye Entertainment stands Wang Ye, the new richest man, of course, he will not be short of money, and Wang Ye's identity is not just as simple as being a super-rich.

His titles such as "Prince of Beaune" and "Danish Horse" are also dazzling halos, which also represent influence!

However, this kind of thing, it is always not good to beg Wang Ye by himself.

If it weren't for Wang Ye's call today, Xie Bing would have been ready to spread the news that he had not renewed his contract in the circle.

In that case, if it can reach the ears of Meng Zimei or Xue Yiyi, maybe Wang Ye will also know.

It's even better now, Wang Ye called himself directly, and after he said that he didn't renew the contract, he took the initiative to invite himself to join Weiye Entertainment.

That's the best of the best.

"Okay, then I'll communicate with Mr. Meng. Xie Bing said happily.

Wang Ye didn't care about how Meng Zimei and Xie Bing communicated, but within a few days, Meng Zimei reported to him that Xie Bing had been signed.

The endorsement of the Huashang brand can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it was negotiated very smoothly.

……

On January 15, Pete made an appointment to meet with Wang Ye, and he wanted to report on Wang Ye's personal assets.

In addition, according to the usual practice, in January every year, Citibank, as Wang Ye's personal financial advisor, will help him count his personal assets.

IN THE PAST, THIS WORK WAS DONE BY LISA, BUT LISA WAS POACHED BY WANG YE, AND PITT TOOK OVER THE WORK HIMSELF.

However, he will not be able to do it for long, and it is said that it will not be long before Pete will be promoted to work at Citibank's Asia-Pacific headquarters.

In Wang Ye's new office, Pete took out a beautifully bound asset report with a smile on his face and handed it to Wang Ye.

"Congratulations to Wang Dong, this year not only has the assets increased significantly, but also the richest man in China, and when the Forbes global rich list comes out in February, it is estimated that Wang Dong will enter the top ten in the world, haha. ”

Wang Ye took the asset report, smiled faintly, and said, "No, Pete, you forgot, now my assets are in the fund, and it is estimated that it will shrink significantly." ”

Pete patted his head: "Yes, I ignored this, but although it will shrink statistically, there are still so many actual assets." ”

Huayou Group and Meigou.com were both merged into the European Royal Fund by Wang Ye, and Wang Ye is an indirect holding.

In addition, there is a floating flower cosmetics company, which belongs to Wang Ye's private holdings.

This company's product line and business are relatively simple, that is, the Flower Story brand series products and a product that is like a dream.

In addition to R&D and production, the company is responsible for R&D and production, and all sales are handed over to the online and offline channels of Meigo.com, so the company does not even have an operating department.

And if it is like a dream, it only needs to be produced, and the sales are equivalent to being handed over to Hermes.

Therefore, Wang Ye of this company basically doesn't need to worry much now, it is simply his small treasury.

The profitability of this small treasury is also amazing, and the sales of the Flower Story series have grown explosively, and in 2012, the annual sales exceeded the 20 billion mark!

This is absolutely second to none in the domestic cosmetics market, and no brand can compare with it.

Of course, that's just sales.

Because all the sales were handed over to the agents of Meigou.com, the settlement price was only 50% off the retail price, and the Fuhua Cosmetics Company could only get 10 billion.

This also deducts the production cost of the product, as well as the company's personnel expenses.

If you add high profits and taxes, it is estimated that you will not make much money.

Of course, Wang Ye uses offshore companies to intercept profits, so the profits are still very objective.

Nearly 60% of the net profit, that is, 6 billion!

In addition, there is also the super profitable brand of Floating Dreams, which is sold in limited quantities five times a year, with a total of 25,000 bottles, and each bottle is $40,000!

Annual sales are fixed at $1 billion.

Of course, the profits of this brand are to be shared equally with Frederick's side.

Therefore, after deducting the cost and dividing it evenly, Wang Ye will get about 400 million US dollars, 2.5 billion yuan.

……

It is equivalent to Fuhua Cosmetics Company, which can contribute more than 8 billion net profits to Wang Ye every year!

This part of the money was transferred to Wang Ye's private account by Citibank through various channels, and of course, most of it was placed in his foreign account.

In the first two years, in order to develop his career by leaps and bounds, Wang Ye borrowed a lot of money from Citibank, with a total of nearly 4 billion.

This year, it finally came to an end, and Wang Ye directly paid off Citi's loan with the profits withheld from Fuhua Cosmetics.

Even if the company takes out a loan, the individual carries the loan on his back, which is not in line with his image as the richest man.

Besides, with such a little money, Wang Ye is not short now.

When Huashang International was delisted, the 100 million shares he held privately also took the opportunity to sell to the company, and he got a full 10 billion yuan!

Combined with the cosmetics company's profit this year, the account reached 18.5 billion at its peak. Of course, this time has also taken a lot of time.

The big head, of course, bought the part of the shares of Huanju Times from Rebus, spending nearly three billion.

After repaying Citibank's loan of more than 4 billion yuan, there are still 11.5 billion yuan in Wang Ye's personal account!

It's just cash in his personal account, and the bigger assets are, of course, the shares of the companies that have been incorporated into the Royal Fund.

That is difficult to measure, because Huayou Group is not listed, and it is difficult to come up with an accurate number.

This is also the reason why Wang Ye said that when the Forbes Global Rich List comes out next month, his assets will shrink significantly.

……

"Wang Dong, does this money need to be invested, otherwise such a large sum of money, lying on the bank account, is simply a crime. Pete asked with a smile.

They are private banks, not pulling savings, and of course they want customers to invest their money, because only by investing it can they get a large commission.

Wang Ye thought about it for a while, and there is no industry worth investing in at present.

Besides, if you really want to invest, wouldn't it be more convenient to invest in the name of a company or fund.

As for the money in your account......

Since it is placed on a private account, of course, it is to be used for consumption, and if you don't spend money just to earn money, then what's the fun in life.
