Chapter 130: Little C Pre-sale
In the afternoon, Li Xiaoqin took 6 friends who usually surfed the Internet with him to the bank to open the online banking function, and then registered, bound and paid 1 cent on the C shopping network, each girl drew cash ranging from 3 to 5 yuan, and Li Xiaoqin through these 6 increased lottery opportunities, the cash in the account reached 26 yuan. The other 6 girls also drew cash ranging from 3 to 5 yuan at the same time.
At this time, a girl named Xiaojing saw that Li Xiaoqin's Century Pass account actually had 26 yuan, and asked suspiciously, "Xiaoqin, what is the purpose of this 26 yuan?"
Li Xiaoqin also said with some uncertainty, "The website says that it can be used to buy various goods, but I see that in addition to computers and accessories, there are only some calling cards, and they are still the kind of virtual cards that can be used together with accounts and passwords."
Xiaojing pointed to the computer screen and said, "Xiaoqin, you see there are 20 yuan face value of 201 cards here, and the sales price is 19 yuan, why don't you buy it and try it, if you can really buy it, then I will pull my boyfriend and everyone in their dormitory to register together."
Li Xiaoqin nodded, clicked on the 20 yuan 201 card, entered the transaction password, and after clicking confirm, a window popped up on the display screen "The 201 card you purchased, account number: ********, password ******".
Xiaojing happily patted the back of Li Xiaoqin's seat and shouted, "Xiaoqin, you can really buy it, you can really buy it, the cash on it can really buy things, let's use this 201 card to go to the service desk to call my boyfriend and ask them to come over and register together."
The idea that Chinese people like to take advantage of the situation made C-shopping network start from August 1 to August 7, and it only took one week to register more than 1 million.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE PROMOTION OF CENTURY TECHNOLOGY IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES, EBAY HAS ALSO BENEFITED A LOT, SINCE AUGUST 1, THERE HAS BEEN A HUGE INFLUX OF TRAFFIC INTO EBAY, BASICALLY PATRONIZING A NEWLY OPENED STORE ON ITS WEBSITE, AND THIS STORE NEEDS TO BE OPENED TWO MONTHS LATER ON OCTOBER 1, AND IN THE SAME WEEK, THE STORE'S COUPONS HAVE BEEN REISSUED 2 MILLION. It can be seen that in 2000, although China had the world's largest population base, the Internet only emerged in recent years, and the contradiction between low family income and high computer prices was an important factor restricting the development of the Internet in China; while Europe and North America became the richest regions in the world since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and computers had entered many families at this time, although the population base was not high, but the number of Internet users was far greater than that of China at this time.
STARTING FROM SEPTEMBER 1ST, HUAXIA'S C SHOPPING NETWORK AND EBAY NETWORK IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE HUNG UP HUGE ADVERTISEMENTS, STARTING FROM TODAY, SMALL C STARTED PRE-SALE, THE NUMBER OF PRE-SALES IS 100,000 YUAN, THE QUOTA IS ALLOCATED TO C PURCHASE 30,000 UNITS, EBAY NETWORK 70,000 UNITS, ALL CUSTOMERS WHO PRE-ORDER ONLINE AND PAY IN FULL, CAN ENJOY A DISCOUNT OF 100 YUAN OR 15 US DOLLARS.
When many customers are still hesitating whether to pre-order, the inventory data on the two websites is getting less and less, and each less quantity is knocked heavily in the hearts of those hesitant customers, and many people begin to make up their minds to start pre-ordering, just like that, by two o'clock in the afternoon, the first batch of 100,000 small C has been all pre-sold.
Since September 2, Fang Yi and his team from the electronics research center have all been delegated to various electronic component manufacturers and Foxconn foundries to supervise their production quality and supply.
Fang Yi sat comfortably in Chen Weihua's office, drinking the coffee brewed by the beautiful secretary, Chen Weihua said with a smile, "Mr. Fang, your little C has been out of the limelight in the past two months."
Fang Yi smiled and said confidently, "At the beginning, we were positioned for Xiao C, it is inevitable that it can become popular, I said Mr. Chen, are you opening two more production lines for us, you see, our first batch of orders of 100,000 units, yesterday it was only a little more than half a day before the pre-sale, if we can't increase production, we can only sing the empty city on October 1 on sale"
Chen Weihua also said happily, "Mr. Fang, I am really convinced of your marketing methods, and I have actually created a marketing model of online sales or pre-sale, the product is still in our parts warehouse, and your sales money has entered the pocket, which is the profit of agents and sellers, and the profit margin of your product is really incalculable?"
Fang Yi took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. Chen, don't avoid my topic, what I said about adding two production lines to us, don't talk to me about anything else, will it work?"
Chen Weihua said with a bitter face, " Mr. Fang, our factory was just established last year, a lot of infrastructure and supporting equipment are not perfect, can not reach full production, now for you to open two production lines have been adjusted to 24 hours of uninterrupted production, each line can produce 2,500 units per day, September 4 end we can complete your first batch of 100,000 orders, to October 1, if your electronic components are not a problem, we can also produce another 130,000 units for you, this number is far greater than the original estimate of 100,000 units, to increase the production line, now I really can't get new resources out of my hands, our OEM manufacturers are urging very tightly"
Fang Yi looked at Chen Weihua a little speechlessly, of course, he was too conservative and couldn't ask him for one or two more production lines, "Mr. Chen, you have also seen our sales ability, 100,000 units, it only took 6 hours, but in the case of no product pre-sale, then when Xiao C realizes spot supply, you can help me calculate how much time the 130,000 units can last?"
Chen Weihua spread his hands and made a helpless expression, Fang Yi had no choice but to drink the coffee in the cup in one go, and he couldn't think of a way in Foxconn, so he had to think of other tricks.
Fang Yi called Zheng Rongjun and asked them to convene a meeting of relevant managers at the research center this evening.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, in the conference room of the research center, at this time, the managers in Guangzhou Fang Yi, Zheng Rongjun, Zhou Xin, Chen Zhao, Tang Chun, and Li Long gathered together.
Everyone smiled and nodded, Tang Chun said happily, "Mr. Fang, your pre-sale strategy is really wonderful, this time, we received 50 million yuan and 17.15 million US dollars, all converted into RMB, that is more than 190 million RMB."
Fang Yi didn't expect that 100,000 units would generate such a big profit, so he beckoned to Zheng Rongjun and whispered in his ear, "Go to the computer in my office to check what point the Hang Seng Index is now?"
Tang Chun waited for Zheng Rongjun to leave and continued, "Now it is not our little C in the entire electronics market is booming, even our century company's reputation in the electronics industry has skyrocketed, yesterday afternoon, someone from Sequoia Capital contacted me and asked if we need to invest, Mr. Fang, what do we do to answer this piece?"
Fang Yi didn't expect Century Technology to be smelled by these capital flies so quickly, and said, "Politely reject them, we don't need to invest for the time being, but it is possible that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
After hearing this, Tang Chun nodded and continued to ask, "Mr. Fang, do you have any plans for the next production of our little C?"
Fang Yi said, "This must be there, I only came back from Foxconn today, they can produce our first batch of orders from the day after tomorrow, that is, the end of production on September 4, and we can go to their warehouse on September 5 to pick up the goods, I convened this meeting today to arrange the follow-up questions of Xiao C."
At this time, Zheng Rongjun walked to Fang Yi's side and whispered, "Mr. Fang, now the point of the Hang Seng Index is around 17,000 points."
Fang Yi nodded to indicate that he understood, took a sip of water and continued. " Our next work is divided into two steps, part of the first batch of 100,000 units of small C delivery problem, the other part is responsible for the completion of the follow-up production problem, I will first talk about the first part of the work arrangement, starting from September 5, to the Foxconn warehouse to pick up the domestic pre-sale of 30,000 pieces of goods, transferred to our turnover warehouse, after the transfer to be placed according to the color of our products, began to print out the domestic order information, labeling and shipping, and the other 70,000 pieces of European and American products, directly from the Foxconn warehouse sent to the customs for customs declaration operations, and strive to arrive at the EBAY warehouse in London before September 20EBAY STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LABELING AND SHIPPING."
After Fang Yi finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "The first part of the work is completed by Chen Zhao and Zhou Xin, and if you have any questions, communicate with me in time" After speaking, he looked at the two and asked, "Do you two have problems?"
Chen Zhao and Zhou Xin nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Then Fang Yi continued, " Then I will now talk about the second part of the work, according to the production line assigned by Foxconn for us, by October 1, our global sales time, they can also produce 130,000 units for us, and the work you need to complete now is to decompose the requirements of various electronic components according to these 130,000 products, and place orders quickly, remember, after placing an order, you need to improve the order contract with various component manufacturers to form legal constraints; Li Long is responsible for sorting out the list of component requirements, which needs to be completed before 12 o'clock tomorrow morning; Zheng Rongjun, you are responsible for communicating with various component manufacturers, so that they can prepare relevant raw materials in advanceAND AFTER GETTING THE LIST OF LI LONG'S NEEDS, WE WILL SEND THE COMPONENT SUPPLIERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND SIGN CONTRACTS WITH THE COMPONENT MANUFACTURERS ACCORDING TO THE DIFFICULTY OF COMPONENT PRODUCTION; TANG CHUN, TOMORROW MORNING, YOU WILL EXCHANGE THE PRE-SALE MONEY WE RECEIVED FROM EBAY INTO 50 MILLION HONG KONG DOLLARS AND THEN CONVERT ALL OF THEM INTO RENMINBI, AND BEGIN TO PAY OFF THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENT MANUFACTURERS, FOUNDRIES AND ADVERTISING COMPANIES, DO YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH COMPLETING THIS WORK?"
All the participants said in unison, "No problem, guaranteed completion"
