Chapter 79 Conditions
Lian wants to use Wanjia's sales channels to distribute goods, but it's not just as simple as putting them on the shelves in Wanjia's stores.
Yang Yuanqing's attitude is obvious, and he will tell you clearly, I can take a step back in terms of profits and give you more, but the sales volume must be guaranteed.
Based on this, Li Ran can almost imagine that Lenovo will inevitably ask Wanjia to open a Lenovo counter for sales, and the sales and business personnel of Wanjia's various branches also need to cooperate with publicity and promotion.
Of course, there are many benefits to Wanjia, and Li Ran will not disagree.
However, computers have not entered the lives of the general public at all in this era, and most of them are used for enterprise and government offices, and very few private people buy computers.
The consumer group itself is fixed, and the base is still small. So even if the profit from selling computers is not small, if there is not enough volume to support it, it will not make much profit.
Thinking about this, Li Ran looked at Yang Yuanqing's eyes, and at the same time raised two fingers and said: "I have two requests, if your company agrees, then Wanjia will do its best to help Lenovo sell in the Beijing-Tianjin-Shanghai area." ”
Yang Yuanqing said suspiciously: "What conditions, Mr. Li can say it first, and then we will discuss." ”
After organizing the language in his mind a little, Li Ran put forward his first request. He said: "First, I want to associate the general agent in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai for at least three years. ”
"General agent?" Yang Yuanqing said in surprise.
"That's right, Lenovo can only supply 10,000 homes in the Beijing-Tianjin-Shanghai region within three years, and 10,000 will sell exclusively." Li Ran added.
Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai now have 10,000 branches, so it is enough to digest, as for the general agent of the region, Li Ran did not mention it. How big a bowl to eat and how much to eat, no matter how much you can't eat, it's beyond your means.
The general agent is for the present, and three years is Li Ran's plan for the future. Lenovo will dominate the domestic computer market for many years to come, and now Lenovo has a request from thousands of families, and Li Ran will naturally not give up this opportunity.
As for why it was three years, it was Li Ran who considered Yang Yuanqing's bottom line. No one is a fool, the prospect of the computer market is not only visible to Li Ran, and it is estimated that Yang Yuanqing can accept the upper limit in three years.
Of course, no matter how much you have, you can fight for it, but Li Ran will not do this kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs. And as the future president of Lenovo, Yang Yuanqing's friendship is worth Li Ran to give up some of his interests.
Sure enough, after Li Ran made the first request, Yang Yuanqing frowned and said, "I need to ask Mr. Liu for this, but there should be no problem, Mr. Li can continue to say your second condition." ”
After getting a more affirmative answer, Li Ran relaxed instead. The first condition is fine, then the second condition is easier to discuss.
Li Ran put down a solemn smile and said, "The second condition is very simple. I know that Lenovo has already started to build an ERP system, and Wanjia also needs to build it. ”
After a pause, he continued: "The problem is that Wanjia does not have talents in this area, and there are some problems at the technical level, and they are not familiar with SPA companies. So I would also like to ask Lenovo to help Wanjia and the SPA company to connect with each other, and provide technical support by the way. ”
"Mr. Li, what you said is no problem, it's not a difficult matter, I can personally decide." Yang Yuanqing frowned and finished speaking.
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "But with all due respect, the ERP system that Mr. Li said is a plan that has only been implemented within my company. ”
After listening to him, Li Ran "chuckled" in his heart. He talked to himself so well, but he forgot that although he knew that in later generations he was used as a case in textbooks, but now it is a secret of other companies.
It's a bit bad to be pointed out by others.
Looking at Yang Yuanqing, who was staring at him tightly, Li Ran kept turning all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but his face was calm.
It's not panicked, but after all, there is a suspicion of snooping on the secrets of other companies. If you can't give him a satisfactory explanation, I'm afraid that when the time comes, let alone cooperate, it is likely that you will have a grudge because of this.
I quickly recalled it in my mind, thinking that I didn't say anything else, so I pretended to look directly into Yang Yuanqing's eyes and said: "I have a good personal friend who works in Lian Lenovo, and I inquired after receiving Mr. Yang's invitation a few days ago, and he inadvertently revealed it." ”
Li Ran's explanation has a lot of loopholes, but there is a step in this matter, and he doesn't believe that Yang Yuanqing will investigate it with great fanfare. Let's not talk about whether he has this right or not, as long as Li Ran doesn't say who said it, it is impossible for him to find out this imaginary person.
Therefore, when Yang Yuanqing asked who this person was, Li Ran just smiled and didn't speak. Immediately, Yang Yuanqing didn't ask more, so he stopped and didn't mention it again.
Later, because of this incident, the atmosphere between the two became a little dull and stiff. Zhao Ya was a little nervous next to her, and her hands were tightly clasped together.
However, both Li Ran and Yang Yuanqing are people who have experienced deception in the mall, so naturally they will not really get upset just because of this little episode, and they will soon talk again.
After talking about work, both of them actually relaxed. First talked about the coffee he was talking to, although Li Ran didn't know much about coffee, but the general type and taste could still be said. And although Yang Yuanqing seems to understand very well, Li Ran can also be a good listener.
As long as women are not involved between men, it is actually very easy to talk about it. From national policies to personal hobbies. The more elegant ones such as literature, music, etc., and the vulgar ones like women, meat jokes, etc., there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Ran to talk to Yang Yuanqing like this for the first time. The occasion is not right, there is Zhao Ya next to him. However, they are all in business, and there are still a lot of common topics.
The two of them chatted about football for a while, and inadvertently the topic turned to work. Yang Yuanqing talked about his current work in the microcomputer department, and the pressure was not light.
Li Ran knew his distress in his heart, after all, although he was in charge of the Lenovo Microcomputer Department with the support of Liu Chuanzhi, he was only thirty years old now. Lack of qualifications is one thing, and there have been incidents of failed bidding for INM in the early stage.
Although Lenovo has always been pressed by Liu Daniu, and Yang Yuanqing also won attention through his outstanding performance, but this time he is still in charge of the microcomputer department is still related to his future development in Lenovo.
Since he talked about this stall, although Li Ran knew that Yang Yuanqing would successfully lead the Lenovo Microcomputer Division to create a sales miracle of Lenovo, so as to enter the senior management of Lenovo. But now, of course, he hasn't succeeded, and Lenovo's distribution strategy hasn't been implemented yet.
In this way, Li Ran was given a chance, and in order to befriend Yang Yuanqing, Li Ran and his conversation were full of private goods. From the development of the Huaxia Internet to the prospect of personal computers, Li Ran spit out a handful of things that he vaguely remembered from college textbooks in his previous life, in order to gain his approval.
The future cooperation with Lenovo is bound to last for a long time, which is a mutually beneficial thing for both parties. However, with the transformation of Gome and the gradual increase of Lenovo's distributors in the future, Wanjia Lenovo will have more choices, so it is naturally necessary to be able to befriend the future president of Lenovo.
Although Li Ran is a traverser, under the butterfly effect, many things will change in the future. Of course, he can develop ten thousand families step by step, and try not to disrupt the historical process, so as to make changes in the future smaller, just as his golden finger can last longer.
But you know that something will happen, and you know that it will have a great impact on the motherland, can you just watch it? For example, the embassy was bombed in '99 and SARS in '03.
If you ask yourself, he will never sit idly by. The impact of these things is definitely not low, and he does not know what will change with his intervention and what kind of impact it will have in the future.
However, the gentleman has something to do and something not to do. Although Li Ran is not a gentleman, he can still distinguish between right and wrong, he can earn less money, as long as it is enough anyway, but he must have to find a way to intervene at these times.
Therefore, in order to prevent the golden finger from not working in the future, he felt that it would be a good idea to have a good relationship with these cattle people as soon as possible.
