Chapter 243: Cutting off the sales channels of the Glory Group
It is impossible for Lin Tianye to tell Wright about Nintendo's current situation, and if he does, it will cause panic in a large number of third-party sales channels, and the situation will be even worse.
Just like many companies that have already had problems, they can only hide the problems and solve them secretly, and say to the outside world that our company has no problems and is developing well.
If the problem is unfortunately exposed to the public eye, then it is necessary to take various measures to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
If Wright had known Nintendo's current situation, it would have been impossible to sign a new contract.
Wright suppressed his heart and once again refused to sign a new contract.
Lin Tianye took a deep breath and said that Nintendo's last condition: "If Nintendo asks the Wright Store not to sell Honor Group products, it doesn't matter if other companies do, does Mr. Wright agree to sign a new contract?"
Wright was stunned for the third time, Nintendo spent such a big price, just to deal with the Glory Group?!
Wright remembered Nintendo's previous ban on the Glory Group, and could only sigh that Nintendo was so ruthless! Spend such a big price specifically against the Glory Group.
This should be Nintendo's last condition, whether to agree or not, Wright is entangled.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, Wright was still ready to agree, compared to Nintendo, the Honor Group is not worth mentioning.
Although the Honor Z1 is selling well right now, this is nothing, and Nintendo has many products that are more popular than the Honor Z1.
He can still sell Sony's and Sega's products, and not selling Honor Group's products will have little impact on Wright's store.
"I promised to sign a new contract. Wright smiled.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Lin Tianye also smiled.
In his heart, he scolded Wright for being greedy, and Nintendo's plan was to let third-party sales channels only sell Nintendo's products and refuse to sell other companies' products.
Only refusing to sell Honor Group products is Nintendo's last condition, and this condition is as far as possible from appearing.
But Wright oil and salt did not enter, and Lin Tianye could only say the final condition.
Lawyers from both sides were present, and a new contract was quickly signed.
After the contract was signed, Lin Tianye rejected Wright's offer to have lunch together, and left Wright's store with his secretary and lawyer.
Lin Tianye looked up at the gloomy sky and cursed in a low voice for the damn weather, don't snow in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Lin Tianye was going to another third-party sales channel in New York that was about the same size as Wright's store, thinking about the situation of the negotiation with Wright just now, and there might be a situation where the final conditions were stated.
If every third-party sales channel has to sign a new contract with the last condition, Hayashi's position in Arakawa's solid heart will definitely plummet, and he will be labeled as incompetent.
Damn Sony, Sega, Glory Group, Hayashi Tano scolded in his heart.
This is already Lin Tianye doesn't know how many times he scolded 3 companies in his heart.
It's just that every time he scolds, it means that Lin Tianye has encountered a problem that is difficult to solve.
In addition to today's two third-party sales channels in New York, in the next few days, Lin Tianye will go to several channels in the northeast of the United States to negotiate.
He is responsible for third-party sales channels in the northeastern United States, and the rest of the United States is the other vice presidents, and the director is in charge.
Of course, so many third-party sales channels in the United States cannot be negotiated by Lin Tianye, vice presidents and directors, otherwise it will not take half a year to complete.
Lin Tianye, these senior managers, mainly go to the powerful third-party sales channel to negotiate.
The weaker ones are responsible for hundreds of employees in the marketing department of Nintendo North America.
The weaker ones, Nintendo will not let them sign new contracts.
Although Nintendo is in a bad situation now, it is still the global gaming hegemon, and not everyone is eligible to sign a new contract with Nintendo.
Why did Nintendo spend so much money to sign a new contract with a third-party sales channel, in order to cut off the sales channel of the Honor Group.
So that the Glory Group can only shrink into Wal-Mart and Barnes & Noble bookstores, or build its own official channels and set up franchise stores.
Self-built official channels will slow down the development of Honor Group, or even collapse.
It is relatively better to set up franchise stores, but it will bring big problems to the management of Glory Group, and it is impossible to set up a large number of franchise stores in a short period of time, which also slows down the development of Glory Group.
Nintendo's actions are not only these, but also ready to move Walmart to stop cooperating with the Honor Group.
However, this possibility is very small, Wal-Mart has always been known for its complete range of products, and the Honor Z1 is a very popular game console now, if Wal-Mart does not sell it, it will cause customers to question it.
And Walmart's chairman Robertson also attended the launch of the Honor Z1, which is a clear signal that Walmart remains neutral.
No matter how well you Nintendo and Honor Group fight, Walmart will sell the products of both companies.
You Nintendo banned the Honor Group, Walmart doesn't care, it will still sell the products of the Honor Group.
If one day the Honor Group bans Nintendo, Walmart will still sell Nintendo's products.
As for the other Barnes & Noble bookstore, Nintendo did not take any action, because Xu Qing would only bring more benefits to the Barnes & Noble bookstore than Nintendo.
Xu Qing has many extremely best-selling books such as Harry Potter, Angels and Devils, especially Harry Potter, which is popular all over the world, and it is very likely that there will be a sequel.
Barnes & Noble is essentially a bookstore, and the books that Xu Qing owns are extremely important to Barnes & Noble.
For the rest of the department stores, such as Macy's, Nintendo also sent people to persuade them not to cooperate with the Honor Group, but the probability is also very low, for the same reasons as Walmart.
At present, the supermarket channel accounts for the largest proportion of Glory Group's sales channels, probably more than 60%.
This proportion is unhealthy, whether it is Nintendo, or Sega, Sony, the supermarket channel accounts for no more than 20% of all sales channels.
It is precisely because Nintendo sees the unhealthy sales channel situation of the Honor Group that it will spend so much money to sign a new contract with a third-party channel.
As long as most third-party channels agree to sign new contracts with Nintendo, the Honor Group will be in a difficult position.
At any given time, the importance of the sales funnel cannot be overstated.
Honor Group has lost a large number of third-party sales channel support, and there will be a situation where it cannot be sold even if it is available.
If the products of the Glory Group are all backlogged in the warehouse, it will be wonderful, Lin Tianye couldn't help but think.
Hayashi also thought of Nintendo's headquarters in Japan.
Nintendo North America is responsible for dealing with the Honor Group, and Nintendo headquarters is responsible for dealing with Sony and Sega.
The strength of Nintendo's headquarters is stronger than that of Nintendo in North America, but Sony and Sega are also stronger than the Honor Group.
I don't know what the situation is going with the headquarters and Sony, Sega.
If the headquarters fails, even if Nintendo of North America succeeds, it will not be easy.
Lin Tianye collected his emotions, went to find a restaurant to eat first, and then rushed to the next third-party sales channel.
