163. I want to be a shareholder
"But the tone of what she spoke just now seemed to be ......real," Ning Xueqing's voice sounded a little muffled, and she didn't seem to be in a high mood: "And you are such an excellent man, even if she really likes you, I won't feel strange." ”
Looking at her uncomfortable appearance, Huo Bufan sighed and said, "I don't know if I'm praising me or what." Otherwise, I'll go back to the past, and save you from worrying? ”
"Don't!" Ning Xueqing subconsciously said urgently, and then when she saw Huo Bufan's joke expression, she was immediately a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm just talking about it casually...... Heck, let's not talk about that, let's move on to the activities. Just now, a lot of customers came to consult, but there is no reply! ”
After speaking, Ning Xueqing immediately turned around and ran into the house.
Her hurried appearance was obviously avoiding this awkward topic.
Huo Bufan didn't dismantle the stage, but just watched her sit on the chair happily, replying to customer inquiries with a serious face.
Although he has been busy in the past few days, he seems to be very fulfilling, making him feel a trace of the past.
In the past, when he was busy, he couldn't wait to break it in half for a second and use it, but now his life is much easier than then, but it is also much more down-to-earth.
The people around me are not scheming people, and they don't deceive me so much.
It's a good day like this.
The promotion of the store's activities was quite smooth, and even Ning Guoxiang and Deng Junmei kept helping to advertise in the circle of friends.
Nowadays, the fruit shop is very popular, and the customers who come and go every day almost smoothed the floor. Ning Guoxiang's hand cramped every day, distressed and happy.
At Huo Bufan's suggestion, they also opened a sales channel for online takeaways.
Although it is still in the early stages, it can receive dozens of orders a day, which is much better than those who have no business for a week after opening and have to spend money to find official promotion.
It's just that the takeaway channel needs to pay the official commission money, and Ning Guoxiang and Deng Junmei both started from a small business and are very sensitive to costs.
It's hard to make some money, because on a platform, you have to hand over a part of it, so how can it work.
So they set up a few more WeChat groups, every guest who comes to the fruit shop can scan the code to enter, and when they need something and are too lazy to come out, they will say it in the WeChat group, and Ning Guoxiang will let people send it to them.
Although you still have to pay a certain fee for running errands, it is better than being taken away by the platform with additional commissions.
Up to now, online takeaways, WeChat, and the fruit store's own sales have earned more than 7,000 yuan a day, with a net profit of 4,000 or 5,000 yuan. And the trend of sales increase has not decreased, but with the promotion of koi activities, the growth rate has reached a new high every day.
All in all, Ning Guoxiang and Deng Junmei are now convinced of Huo Bufan's ability to do business, and Ning Xueqing said here that they would help distribute advertisements, and the two of them didn't say a word, and they were directly fatigued and bombarded.
Not only did they post it themselves, but even the people who came to buy the fruit asked them to help forward it. Anyone who retweets can subtract a few dollars and a fraction.
Huo Bufan didn't have too many ideas about this, the fruit store helped to publicize, just the icing on the cake, and the most important thing was to rely on those Weibo big Vs and WeChat public accounts to promote.
In addition, his own planning advertisements on various popular forums also have good results.
This kind of propaganda is often slow in the early stage and explosive in the later stage.
According to Huo Bufan's estimate, in about ten days, it should be able to completely cover most of the country, and then the activities can officially begin.
Because the publicity is good enough, the store's sales are also growing.
On the first day of live broadcast, it broke the record of 200,000 daily sales, 220,000 on the second day, 250,000 on the third day, and tens of thousands of tens of thousands of dollars increased every day.
Even the manufacturers were alarmed, at first they suspected that Ning Xueqing was swiping orders to complete the task, but later found that they were paying for the promotion of the event by themselves, and after a little understanding, plus seeing the real publicity effect, they took the initiative to help.
Of course, the manufacturer's publicity methods may not be better than Huo Bufan, after all, they used to only concentrate on making products, and the publicity relied on each Taobao store to find its own way.
What they can help is to provide Ning Xueqing with some event giveaways and a lower purchase price.
Huo Bufan's previous guess was not wrong, the manufacturer's core formula was indeed stolen, and it was scattered everywhere.
Now various weight loss brands have sprung up, the same formula, the same results, and at a lower price.
The manufacturer is disgusted, but there is no way, who makes them inadequate to protect the formula.
Even if you already have a patent, you can claim that you are completely different from you by adding a little something else to the recipe.
What's more, you can't go to court and sue them to make the recipe public for investigation without substantial evidence.
This loss, the manufacturer is determined, they now only want to keep their own one acre and three points of land in the storm.
Many of the previous agents and distributors have switched to other brands because the price is low enough.
They don't have much loyalty to the brand, and they do whatever is good.
Now the manufacturer's largest agent is Ning Xueqing, with a daily sales of two or three hundred thousand, and this number has only appeared in their peak.
But at that time, it was just a flash in the pan and could not last long, but Ning Xueqing's daily sales were still growing.
This is only the early stage of the event, and when the whole people really participate, it is impossible to estimate how much the daily sales will be, and it will definitely be a very large number.
While the manufacturer was happy, it also encountered a problem.
This trouble came from Huo Bufan, and the day after the manufacturer offered to help, Huo Bufan sent them an email.
The content of the email is very simple, based on the consideration of market share, Huo Bufan asked to become a shareholder of the manufacturer and invest 8 million to occupy 30% of the shares.
If you agree, we will continue to do the activity, if you don't agree, we will change the brand.
Anyway, it's still only the promotional period of the event, and it's not entirely clear which brand to sell to customers.
Other brands also use your formula, and the effect is the same, and you don't need to worry about the competitiveness of the product.
This email made the manufacturer angry enough, and when it sold 50,000 or 60,000 a day, it asked us to keep the purchase price to the lowest. Now selling two or three hundred thousand a day, I simply come directly to ask for shares.
If you wait for you to sell millions a day, won't you swallow them whole?
They didn't guess wrong, Huo Bufan did have plans to buy this weight loss company, since he wanted to have a career, how could he be controlled by others. Only be an agent, no matter how good the business is, it is always to work for others, how can it be good to be your own boss.
He said it very deadly, and at this point, Ning Xueqing did not object.
After a few days of market research, she saw that the manufacturer is now the only one on her side. If they switch to other brands, it won't be long before the weight loss company goes out of business.
Even if it doesn't go out of business, the market share will be squeezed quite ugly, and it will be difficult to even drink hot soup.
Two days later, the general manager of the manufacturer called in person and asked if it was possible to reduce the proportion of shares.
They are also large companies with annual sales of hundreds of millions, and it is outrageous that you want to account for 30% of them when you only have 8 million.
However, Huo Bufan did not give the general manager any face, and refused bluntly.
The annual sales were hundreds of millions, and now your other agents are all added together, and they are only sold for tens of millions. When other brands do it, they may sell less.
So now 8 million is to buy 30 percent of the shares, and if you don't agree, at the end of the wait, 8 million is the price to buy your entire company.
There are still three days left before the official start of the event, think about it slowly, and it's best to think about it before replying.
After thinking about it for two days, the general manager called and agreed to the cooperation plan for the share transfer.
However, although he agreed, the general manager hoped to get 30% of the profit from the event.
Ning Xueqing actually wanted to agree, in her opinion, it was quite cost-effective to be able to buy 30% of the profit with 8 million, after all, the company did sell hundreds of millions of dollars a year at its peak. In the weight loss industry, it is also considered to be the top-notch kind.
That is, Huo Bufan is in charge of this matter, otherwise she would not dare to open this mouth if she did it herself!
