Chapter 53 Software Pricing

"Okay, Li Long and I will be away for a few days on the weekend, and you can take care of the things in the store," Fang Yi said.

"It's okay, it's me," Wang Yu said in a big way.

Fang Yi left the Internet café and called the 001 store of the Internet café, today is the test of the cash register software, and he is very concerned about its test results.

I called and found Zhao Li in the Internet café, "How is it, Zhao Li, have you started the test?"

"We have found five regular customers for testing, just after a time to open and get off the machine payment, the whole process has gone back and forth twice, so far there are no problems, I am now organizing people in the store to carry out some special operations, test the use of the software under special circumstances, if most of the special circumstances can be handled, then our software can be officially used" Zhao Li said happily that this is also the first commercial software he presided over and developed, and Zhao Li is also very excited to test it successfully and start using it.

"Very good, once it is successful, it will be used in the store, and the next thing is the sales of the software, but before the sale, you have to do a job to prevent piracy, and embed an online authentication condition in the software, and the software must be certified online to be able to use normally." Online authentication has been easily cracked in the previous life, and later many software companies used hardware dongles for authentication, but still did not escape the smart Chinese people, was successfully cracked, and finally evolved into the degree of authentication through the software company's server every time you log in.

"Okay, I've done a good job in this area in the early stage," Zhao Li said on the phone.

"Very good, when the work before the sale is ready, your team will give a reward of 500 yuan per person, and you will give a reward of 1,000 yuan;" Fang Yi said, as long as he can make achievements, Fang Yi will never be stingy with rewards.

"Next, your development team has a relatively large workload, on the one hand, we have to build an official website of our software company, release our company information and put the software on the Internet for customers to download and try, on the other hand, we have to start doing the work of membership card, which will be used as the 2.0 version of our software, genuine software can be downloaded and updated on our official website, at this time we have to let customers enter and verify again to ensure that it is genuine," Fang Yi said.

"Okay, I see," Zhao Li said

"Okay, when your version 2.0 is made, I will celebrate your achievements," Fang Yi said with a blank check in advance.

Hung up the phone, Fang Yi called Huang Tao again, "Huang Tao, our cashier software has been tested in the store, you go to see it now, have a good understanding, the first product of your sales department is our cashier software, as our sales director, you are going to start moving now, you recruit some graduates from our school's marketing major, organize your own sales team, first of all, we must sell our software to the three southwestern provinces of China, and then expand outward on this basis."

"Okay, okay, what is the price of our product? How about the commission for the salesman?" Huang Tao asked, as a salesman, the sales commission is the most concerned, as long as the sales commission is high, the shit can be bought.

Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "Our cashier software is priced at 1998 yuan, and there are two modes of commission temporarily, one is that there is no basic salary in the sales model, and the company reimburses the travel and accommodation expenses, according to 10% of the sales commission;

Huang Tao listened to Fang Yi's words and suddenly became enthusiastic, a set of software will return a commission of 500 yuan, which is equivalent to a person's salary for a month, according to this calculation, if you sell 10 sets a month, the monthly commission will be 5,000 yuan, which is the income of super white-collar workers.

"Fang Yi, can I be an agent myself?" Huang Tao asked tentatively.

"Of course you can, we now set up a provincial agent, so that there will be enough market, if there is no one to do the agent, then we will send a salesman, each province first arrange 3 people, if there is an agent then the salesman can withdraw the company, so that you have to recruit at least 9 people in the first batch"

"Fang Yi, then I'll apply for our SC's agent first, is it okay?" Huang Tao said.

"Yes, but the agent also has requirements, you organize people to use it first, tomorrow I will come back to discuss with you the management plan of this agent and salesman, you call Chen Zhao and Tang Chun to participate together" Fang Yi said.

Looking at the public phone, Fang Yi thought that it was really inconvenient to not have his own phone, and it seemed that solving the communication problem should also be put on the agenda, now the mobile phone is too expensive, and now the mobile phone is also the boss class, and because the phone bill is too expensive, the two-way charge, and most of them are just for the purpose of installing the façade, and the current solution still has to be based on the BB machine.

Fang Yi dialed the phone number of Ma Rui's dormitory again.

"Fang Yi, are you done today?" Ma Rui said happily.

"How do you know I'm busy today?" Fang Yi asked.

"Wang Yu told me what you have done recently, you are not only busy with the Internet café now, there is also a barbecue restaurant in preparation, and the software company is also about to release products, saying that you have been very busy recently, so I haven't called you recently" Ma Rui said thoughtfully.

Fang Yi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he has been very busy recently, but he is not as busy as Wang Yu described, "Do you have any arrangements for the afternoon?"

"I was going to go to the library to read books, how can Boss Fang have some arrangements for the little girl," Ma Rui said playfully.

"Come with me to go shopping," Fang Yi said.

"Shopping, don't you hate shopping the most," Ma Rui asked puzzled.

"I want to go shopping around Taisheng Road today and see the BB machine market," Fang Yi said.

"Don't you have a BB machine, why do you still want to buy it?"

"Then whether to go or not, I'll talk to you slowly later" Fang Yi didn't want to explain on the phone.

"Okay, then you wait for me for 15 minutes, I'll clean up and come out" Woman, it's trouble to go out, and you can't come out to meet people every time you don't have more than ten or twenty minutes.

In the 10 years of 2000, more than 90% of CD's communication tools were sold from Taisheng Road, until several major operators joined the sales army of communication tools to begin to break this situation.

At this time, the best-selling goods of Taisheng Road are still mainly BB machines, only a few large stores are selling mobile phones, look at the size, and then look at the price, it makes Fang Yi shudder, and it is also beautifully named: light, thin, small, the old man machine of 100 yuan in the previous life can crush all the high-end machines now.

On the first floor of Jinyang Commercial Building, Fang Yi saw a counter specializing in BB machines, and Ma Rui stopped to look, all kinds of Chinese, digital, in which Fang Yi found several mobile phone brands from the previous life, it turned out that they used to make BB machines, those big-name companies still have such a black history.

"Sir, look at the BB machine, now our models are all up-to-date, with Chinese numbers, styles and models are complete, want to see what kind or what price?" said a relatively handsome saleswoman standing in front of the counter.

"Help me show me this machine" Fang Yi pointed to a small Motorola BB machine on the counter and said, in fact, because of the emergence of mobile phones, the pager industry has taken a big dive, but compared with the high cost of mobile phones, BB machines still have a certain market, at least before 2004, they can still be used.

Fang Yi took this machine and looked up and down, "How much does this machine cost?"

"This machine is now 450 yuan, including a year's service fee," the girl said.

"Is there a discount if I buy more?" Fang Yi asked.

"How much can you buy?"

Fang Yi calculated, the current BB machine is just a transitional product, a year ago Fang Yi must have changed to a mobile phone, if it is only used by people outside, then it will not be able to buy too much, "How much cheaper can I buy 5 units?"

After bargaining with the salesman, Fang Yi bought 5 BB machines for 400 yuan each, and walked out of Jinyang Commercial Building, Ma Rui asked puzzledly, "Fang Yi, why did you buy so many at once?"

"Many of my stores are about to open, and there are several people who need to run outside, and it is too inconvenient to have no contact information, so I will equip each of them with a BB machine, and when the economic situation is better next year, they will all be replaced with mobile phones," Fang Yi explained.

Fang Yi sent a BB machine for Huang Tao, Chen Zhao, Wang Yu, Li Long, and Yuan Jie, which is a later story.
