Chapter 45: Beginning to take shape
A few days is a short time, but it's a long time for computer enthusiasts who are eager to buy a flyover tech company right away.
Since John, who tried out his personal computer at the Flyover Technologies computer product launch, he and his friends packed up the afternoon with a makeshift tent, food, and water to line up in front of the Flyover Technologies store at 113 Fifth Avenue in New York.
However, it is clear that it is not only John and his gang who are interested in Feiyue Technology's computer products, but also many computer enthusiasts who come from all over the world.
So much so that when the store opened in the morning, people who wanted to come to buy with a little bit of money waving money could only stand in the distance and constantly urge the people in front to step up, no way, the store was almost filled with people who came earlier, and it was impossible for more people to continue to enter the store, and they could only wait for people to come out to make room for the next person.
Although the store is located in the location of Dick has strictly implemented the requirements put forward by Yao Fei, but in front of the vast number of people full of consumer enthusiasm, the business area of more than 400 square meters is not enough.
"Hello, welcome to our store, this computer in front of you is specially configured by our company for computer enthusiasts, it is not only equipped with the latest motherboard and CPU specially designed by Intel for our company's products, the clock frequency can reach 4.77MHz.
It is equipped with 5M hard disks, 2 single-sided 1.44M floppy disks, keyboard and mouse, and a flat screen monitor. And the shell of this host, look, does it give people a modern and fashionable appearance!
Therefore, whether you consider the performance of our company's products or start from a direct visual perception, our company's products will meet your needs in all aspects!
The price of this machine is not very expensive compared to other companies' products, and it is only $4,588 with the system......"
Although it was expected that the scene would be lively today because of the first day of opening, the current situation is still beyond the expectations of every salesperson.
But that's a good thing, no matter which salesperson wants their store to have as much foot traffic as possible, and foot traffic often means sales performance, and sales performance is directly linked to revenue.
At this time, despite the large crowd of people crowded around her, Susan was still very calm and enthusiastic to introduce the advantages of her left-hand computer products to the customers around her.
"Miss, I don't need to introduce it anymore, I want this machine!"
"Good sir, here, this is the purchase order, please pay at the cashier in the middle, and then take the charge bill issued by them to come to me to pick up the goods."
"OK, no problem......"
When John came to the cashier to pay, there were already more than a dozen people in front of him at this time, it seems that these guys have been referred to before, and today they came directly to the point without even visiting. The line was slowly getting longer, and when I saw that the computers on the booth were taken away by others, the thoughts that had been planned to be carefully visited and compared disappeared without a trace.
After looking at the configuration price and picking the product, they directly asked if there was still any goods, and then joined the queue sequence, because they didn't know how much stock there was in this store, or they lined up early and felt at ease, and they were out of stock when they didn't go to themselves, which was really bad.
At the end of the day, according to statistics, the number of live units sold in the storefront on Fifth Avenue in New York alone has reached 3,256 units, and the income is as high as more than 13 million US dollars.
At this time, the American people seemed to have completely exploded their enthusiasm for consumption, waving banknotes to bring a lot of money to Yao Fei.
However, this is also normal, and now the United States is the birthplace of high-tech, especially the IT industry, and people's interest in high-tech can be imagined.
Moreover, the national condition of the United States is that the country is poor and the people are rich, and the wealth of the entire country is almost concentrated in the hands of the broad masses of the people.
The upper two floors of the company's headquarters on Manhattan Avenue were originally a trading company, but when the first two months of the lease were approaching, Dick approached the landlord and took over the lease by 10%. He could have looked elsewhere for office space, but in Dick's words, following in the footsteps of his boss was the wisest choice.
At this time, the office hall of Huanyu Trading Company, unlike the gradually quiet night outside, the telephone ringing and talking one after another, the scene is very lively, and it is constantly accepting telephone reservations from various countries and regions in the world.

"Your company needs to buy dozens of units, is there a discount?" Of course, our company stipulates that those who buy more than 10 units at one time will enjoy a 95% discount, and more than 100 units will enjoy a 95% discount......
Do you want to work with other companies to make purchases? No problem, we are always looking forward to welcoming you......"
Different from the enthusiastic response in the market at this time, Yao Fei listened to the opinions of Alex, the new CEO of Feiyue Company, and quietly completed the reorganization of Feiyue Technology Company.
Yao Fei divided the original 143 technical personnel of the technical R&D department into a computer hardware R&D and design group, a system R&D and design group and an application software R&D and design group according to software and hardware.
At the same time, Feiyue Technology Computer Manufacturing Company, Feiyue Technology System Company, and Feiyue Technology Software Company were established, and the three teams were required to send two people to the customer service center every day to take turns.
In addition to the core R&D work, the company's daily affairs will be temporarily handled in the same mode as Huanyu Trading Company, which will be managed by the head office.
The appointment of Daniel Hillis as the CTO of Feiyue Technology Computer Manufacturing Company, the appointment of Jon Bentley as the CTO of Feiyue Technology Systems Company, and the appointment of Cheng Gong as the CTO of Feiyue Technology Software Company, this kid has a good ability to learn and innovate, which makes Yao Fei, a person who has come over, a little impressed.
In the face of the heavy promise of Feiyue Technology and Hewitt's persuasive ability, these two joined Feiyue Technology Company in the applause of Yao Fei's welcome, and were appointed by Yao Fei to a position suitable for their talents for the first time, laying a certain foundation for Yao Fei to become a hands-off shopkeeper again......
