Chapter 121 Longteng France Branch (One More Subscription and Collection)
Jiang Shaoyun is very hard, and his feet don't touch the ground every day.
Since he was personally selected by Yang Yun to serve as the head of the North American Dragon Toy Company, and brought a group of software engineers to the United States, he has not had a day to rest.
When he first came, there was only one KTT liaison in Longteng Toy Company, and there was not even simple furniture in the empty office, so Jiang Shaoyun had to do everything himself.
Design and plan the office area, order all kinds of furniture from IKEA, recruit managers in newspapers, send the engineers he brought from China to EA Company for placement, contact KTT for fundraising, send money to Japan Fengyun Company, ask EA Company for the production fee of Contra, and negotiate with the Parker brothers about the production and sale of Bang! cards, all of which Jiang Shaoyun personally participated.
For the first time, Jiang Shaoyun is busy with the place, and he can't wait to divide one person into three parts!
After struggling to get through the most painful start, I thought I could take a breath and rest for a few days, but Longteng Headquarters made a series of big moves in the global game industry, which made Jiang Shaoyun fall into extremely cumbersome operation and management again.
The arcade substrates of the famous games are distributed in North America, and for the sake of safety, the sales must be supervised throughout the process, and Jiang Shaoyun must listen to the report and look at the accounts once a day in order to know in his heart.
Bang! cards are selling well all over the world, Parker Brothers' factory is responsible for production and sales, Longteng Toys Company has to reconcile accounts, count the number of orders, calculate costs and profits, and keep in constant contact with 50 salespeople scattered around the world. It simply can't stop.
In London, he finally met the belated Yang Yun. greeted him with a look of grievance: "Mr. Yang, I'm bitter!" The position of the president of this North American branch. It's so hard to sit on......"
Yang Yun hahadaxiao: "Nonsense! If it's good to sit, everyone can't dig out the hollow to grab this position? I asked you to form a sales team for game peripherals, how is it going? ”
KTT and Nintendo have formed a joint venture with Mario & Tetris, which is mainly responsible for the subsequent game development of Super Mario and Tetris, and the two parties share all the rights and interests of both, and share all profits equally after deducting operating costs.
Super Mario dolls, manga, anime movies. Advertising, these are game peripheral projects that are derived from games, publicity and marketing are very cumbersome, and of course they are also very profitable.
In the category of game peripherals, the most haode company is Nintendo, they have done the ultimate in the development and sales of Super Mario and Pokemon peripherals, conquering Coca-Cola, Burger King, Walmart and other super large enterprises. The overwhelming promotion of the images of Super Mario and Pokemon dolls has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and maintained the long-term exposure of the game, which is the benign development of maintaining the enduring classic game.
Look at Sega again. The sales method is simply weak, and there is basically no big publicity action for the study of high-configuration machines. How is it possible to sit in the store and wait for customers to come to the door and grab it!
The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!
Yang Yun arranged a task for Jiang Shaoyun. Cultivate a group of loyal and reliable sales team to specialize in the promotion and sales of game peripheral industries.
Most of the 50 salespeople recruited from China are now attached to the Parker Brothers' sales network. Jiang Shaoyun gathered several people from North America and arranged them into Nintendo's sales team through KTT.
It's just that Nintendo, as a typical Japanese company, has a very heavy hierarchy in its corporate culture, and these spies can only start from the bottom, doing the hardest and most tiring work, and they can't learn the core concept.
Facing Yang Yun's inquiry, Jiang Shaoyun looked ashamed: "Mr. Yang, I am useless and have failed to live up to your expectations......
Yang Yun was actually very satisfied, he basically didn't worry about Longteng Toy Company: "It's okay, you've only been in the United States for three or four months, and it's good to be able to support such a big stall." Regarding the operation and management and accounts, Sister Xinyi can help, and she can help contact the professional team of two accounting firms, Pricewaterhouse and Coopers. It's not a big deal to make some money, we want the most advanced business strategy, as long as the company is running healthily, are you afraid that this little consulting fee will not be earned? ”
Jiang Shaoyun nodded and wrote down the matter.
Yang Yun admires this very much, and the average entrepreneur is different, he is particularly willing to spend money, the office should be the most convenient and magnificent, the working environment should be the most comfortable, the development tools should be the most advanced, ordinary people feel that it is difficult to make an account, Yang Yun is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to ask a professional accounting firm to provide door-to-door service, for their own business diagnosis pulse.
Jiang Shaoyun asked, "You specially asked me to fly over from the United States, not just to tell me these few words, right?" ”
Yang Yun scolded with a smile: "Do you think I have a lot of money and burns in a panic? The first thing is to emphasize the matter of sales team building in the game peripheral industry. I'll give you another half a month, you give me a way, and I have to dig a few senior executives, or simply a sales team with rich experience, because in May I will arrange a new game on the handheld to be launched, this is the point, don't mess up. ”
Jiang Shaoyun's heart moved: "Launched with Sega handheld? ”
Yang Yun nodded: "Yes, I personally think that this game will be no less than Super Mario, or Tetris, do you understand its importance?" ”
Jiang Shaoyun was awe-inspiring: "This ...... Rest assured, I know what to do! I'm going to dig up Nintendo's sales team from Yokoi Gunpei! ”
"Hell! If you dig up to Yokoi Junhei, I'll have your last name! Yang Yun scolded with a smile: "The second thing, I won't stay in Europe for a long time, the main thing is to be the image ambassador of the cultural promotion of the Three Kingdoms, you give me all the Longteng sales staff in Europe, I will meet once at a time, explain some things, so as not to waste time when I look for them all over the country." ”
Jiang Shaoyun nodded, he had wanted to do this for a long time, he remotely controlled and listened to reports through the phone every day, he felt that his control was very weak, and it seemed that there was a possibility of losing these people at any time.
"Third, you have to help me connect with some of Europe's most prominent zoological experts, botanical experts, European underground boxers, famous martial artists, European fantasy writers, especially best-selling authors of the Lord of the Rings."
"Huh?" Jiang Shaoyun was dizzy, "These three categories...... It's not a side at all! What are you doing here? ”
Yang Yun smiled: "If you can guess what I'm going to do, what kind of boss will I be!" It is best for you to establish a European Longteng branch, so that it is convenient to contact these people, and then maintain good communication and exchanges, and give certain financial sponsorship and support when appropriate, such as supporting a scientific research project, or sponsoring a book or something. ”
If you want to have a good relationship with zoologists and botanists, of course, for the sake of Pokemon, to do a European version of the tour in the future, or to sell the handheld to Europe, so that these experts and scholars can say a few good words and start a special study, how is it haode.
Contact the martial arts family, it must be for the King of Fighters.
Robert, one of Yang Yun's favorite candidates, has invincible leg skills, although the original version allowed him to learn extreme flow karate from Sakazaki, but no one can deny that he is a European Italian.
In order to make the King of Fighters a shijie game, Yang Yun is thinking about how to arrange the fighting team, and it will be easier to gather information by contacting European boxers and famous martial artists.
As for magic books, magic rings and whatever, Yang Yun thinks further, in this regard, Chinese and Europeans and Americans are very different, cultural differences, different education methods, different environments, many factors will lead to different ways of thinking.
It is easy for Chinese to understand the Fengshen List of Mountains and Seas, and it is easy for Europeans to understand the magic fantasy dragon and the dwarf elves of the dungeon, if the two sides are exchanged, I am afraid everyone will be confused.
Handed over the matter to Jiang Shaoyun, Yang Yun participated in some press conferences with the contact of the Three Kingdoms Cultural Promotion Group, and held lectures at the Chinese Studies Research Institute such as Oxbridge and Cambridge.
Jiang Shaoyun spent three days to gather all the sales staff all over Europe in a hotel in Paris, for the people present, Yang Yun expressed his gratitude to them, promised to open a Longteng branch in France soon, responsible for the food and living and work arrangements of all European employees, and at the appropriate time, arrange for employees to return to China to visit relatives, or take domestic relatives to Europe for reunion.
High wages, high subsidies, and humanized management have made the sales staff's dependence and trust in Longteng increase again, and they have offered suggestions to increase sales.
A front-line sales employee from Rome asked, "Mr. Yang, have you ever thought about making Bang! and Three Kingdoms Kill game cards into a competitive event for table games?" It's like a football game! ”
Yang Yun came to be interested: "Three Kingdoms Killing Card Competition, well, this idea is good!" Go back and sort out a plan and hand it over to Mr. Jiang for review! ”
Someone else came up with an idea: "We can rent a store near the Parker brothers' store, specializing in providing services such as table card games, tarot card divination, magic prop cards, etc., and make card games such as Three Kingdoms Kill and Tarot Card Divination a fashion!" ”
This is similar to some board game stores around the university, Yang Yun nodded: "By the way, add coffee drinks and small desserts, so that customers can enter our card store to relax and make friends!" You can refine and deepen this plan and hand it over to Mr. Jiang for review! ”
There are a lot of similar plans and suggestions under the gossip of everyone.
Yang Yun sighed a little, it is not that the Chinese are not creative, these people came out to see the way of life of Europeans, and tried to integrate the life around them, which really released their whimsical thoughts, and explosively imagined everything that was bound in the past.
Yang Yun likes this way very much, brainstorming, saying what he wants, and being unrestrained.
He watched the employees in the audience talk freely, and a secretary next to Qian Deliang came over and informed him of something. (To be continued......)
