The next day, Su Le and Amuroli ordered goods from computer accessories manufacturers, and since they were in Zhongguang Valley, the goods ordered in the morning arrived in the afternoon. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The two of them were in a hurry to assemble dozens of computers overnight, and after all the tests were completed, it was already the morning of the third day. After breakfast, Su Le went to print some advertising flyers and asked the students hired in advance to help distribute them.
Amuro has been staying in the room waiting for the phone, starting a business is very hard, this is both an office and a studio, and the two of them sleep here, in order to save space, they still use two bunk beds. Both slept on the top bunk, with computers and accessories on the bottom.
What was a little disappointing was that when Su Le came back, Amuro hadn't received any calls to buy a computer, and the morning had passed like this.
"Boss, let's not go on like this, the advertisements have been sent out, and not a single call has come."
Amuro was in a hurry, Su Le smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, it's dinner time, I'll buy you some food, and when we finish eating, there will be a phone call in the afternoon." β
In order to celebrate the official launch of the business, the two had a good meal at noon. Sure enough, there was a call in the afternoon, although it was not much, but it was finally opened, and the two of them packed the assembled computer into a box and let the professional courier company deliver it.
Three units were sold on the first day, which was quite good for a company with only two people, and although sales increased in the following days, they did not reach double digits in one day.
Amuroli is satisfied with the current situation, and Su Le wants to expand the scale, "At present, there is no problem with our products, but Dai Er's brand is still not loud enough, in order to reassure buyers, I think if it does not affect the secondary sales, it can be returned in full within seven days." β
"It's troublesome, isn't it?"
"I'm confident in our product, and it shouldn't be a lot of extra work." Su Le asserted, "It's not a joke for customers to buy computers, it's better to fix it as soon as possible than to return it!" At the same time as the return promise, if there is a problem with the computer, it can be repaired the next day. β
"Repairs need manpower...... Amuro thought for a moment, "and we'll have to increase manpower." β
"Yes, the training of newcomers will be handed over to you, we now have a single product line, and the difficulty of maintenance should not be large, it is really not good, as long as the hard disk is not broken, you can replace the hard disk."
Su Le also knows some computer knowledge, and the computer architecture in this world is similar to what he is familiar with, and in Su Le's impression, it seems to be called the von Neumann architecture.
In fact, if you want to make money, it should be more profitable to master the core processor technology, but it is difficult to break the technical barriers and enter the development of the processor with Su Le's current funds, so let's talk about it later.
However, at present, there are small advantages to small enterprises, such as small losses due to decision-making errors, and now that sales have been achieved, if you increase the number of people slightly, you will never face difficulties because of accidents.
So Su Le and Amuro Li recruited two more people, these two newcomers are graduates who are familiar with computers, and the current work is not very difficult, that is, answering the phone, packing and shipping, and rare door-to-door repair business, which can be adapted with a little training.
While training newcomers, Su Le asked Amuro to change the advertising flyer, add the content of full return and on-site repair, and then print it with the new advertising design.
After the printing was completed, this time Su Le did not hire students to distribute leaflets, but took two newly recruited subordinates to do this, and by the way, checked the effect of the last advertisement.
In addition to distributing leaflets in some places where there is a large flow of students, Su Le also asked people to post them on various bulletin boards in the school, but outsiders are really not careful enough to do things, and many places have not posted them, no wonder such a good computer can't be sold.
After taking a turn around the nearby university campus, the three of them were busy until the evening before going back, and when they saw Su Le coming back, Amuro said happily: "Boss, today's sales have exceeded single digits." β
This should be the effect of the new advertisement, Su Le was happy but not surprised. The two new joiners were smiling and decided to try again tomorrow, having agreed to take today's money and leaveβthey were too tired from work.
The effect of the new advertisement was even better than Su Le expected, and the sales were booming, only more than 500 units were sold in the first month, and more than 1,000 units were sold in the second month.
Su Le took his three friends to a high-end restaurant, had a good celebration banquet, and planned the next move: "We also need to increase the number of people!" β
"Isn't that good at the moment?" Someone asked, puzzled, "I really don't see anything that could be improved." β
Amuro also has doubts: "Our computers are in short supply, and the purchase of a large number of accessories can also reduce some costs, and the price of 3999 can also make a lot of money......"
"The product line is too simple, I think in addition to increasing the number of fist products, we should also give customers the freedom to choose accessories, of course, only within a certain range." Su Le said.
"Optional?! Is it to change the processor, increase or decrease the memory or hard disk, and then give a different price? β
Su Le smiled and replied, "That's roughly the case, and you can also put additional services into the optional content, because many of our customers are knowledgeable, and they can repair and assemble themselves, and they will definitely be interested in the option." β
In fact, Su Le is also asking for trouble, but if he wants to build a big industry, it is not enough to make such a small fuss at present, he also needs to hire more employees, let Amuro take care of the management of the technical side, and take the other two to do other auxiliary work.
The technical side of the work is relatively simple, just training more technicians, and Amuro is fully competent. Su Le's work in this area is more messy, the main body is the sales link, and the first task is to expand the scope of advertising.
In the future, it will not be possible to rely on leaflets to solicit business, so Su Le contacted some newspapers and magazines to publish advertisements for Dai Er's computer. Then it further increased the number of employees, upgrading Dell Computers from a micro enterprise to a small and medium-sized enterprise with dozens of employees.
In the months that followed, sales climbed and it was time to expand the product line. Su Le convened the core members led by Ya Amuro to discuss the launch of the new model, and finally established a high-end model, two mid-range models, and an entry-level machine with a monitor that only sells for 2999.
In addition to these four fist products, some optional content has also been added, because it has only just begun to provide optional services, and the optional parts are also within these four models, and no other additional accessories have been added.
After the launch of these new products and services, the sales of DYRE computers have skyrocketed, and LBM, the industry hegemon, has felt threatened. Just as Su Le was planning his next move, Bai Ling brought him system news......
