Chapter 67: Why do you win the game where your opponent starts early?
Carl joined Huanzhong company, the boss Aimee whether to open a department store, or in the shopping mall to open a store, all the negotiations with him, back to the company, and he to do a review, continue to inspire training, soon, Carl in a bunch of toy suppliers dealing with shopping malls, appear particularly outstanding, procurement and investment department people always say: "German companies are different!" This gave Carl a sense of superiority over a foreign company, even though he knew that Huanzhong was actually a private company. Now the boss has been very hands-off, encouraging him to go to other places to open department store counters, and for the first time in his life, he went to Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Beijing, Dalian, Shenyang...... It's all because I'm on a business trip. Every time he went to a city, he was happy and excited, and he felt that the world suddenly became so open in front of him.
Many of the classmates who graduated together could not stay in Shanghai, and the boss Aimee also asked Penny to help Carl apply for settlement, and soon, the hukou was implemented, and Carl became a real new Shanghainese. Aimee also asked Polly about the latest insurance policies, so that Penny, Harry and the company's non-local employees can also enjoy Shanghai's social security policies.
"However, the most important thing you should work on now is to find ways to buy a house, but if you have the slightest conditions, you must pay attention to the matter of buying a house." Aimee reminded them. She knows that these people, the family's economic foundation is not bad, and the salary she gives them is set at a high level in the market, and the monthly payment is still affordable, depending on how much the family can help.
"It's not to encourage you to gnaw at the old, but now is a good time for Shanghai real estate to rise, and you won't regret living in it, investing in it, and buying a house in Shanghai." Housing prices are generally only in the early 4,000s and one square meter, and many families can afford a down payment with a little tiptoe.
The fastest response was Penny, after all, she was relatively oldest, and she used to have a house in her hometown, and she sold it to make a down payment in Shanghai. After listening to Aimee's encouragement, she began to look at the house, but she was not sure what to eat, so she asked Aimee if she could accompany her to see it, and Aimee said without hesitation: "Of course!" ”
Not only did she accompany the property viewing, but she also helped Penny talk to the agent. Penny has her eye on a one-bedroom apartment located in a neighborhood next to the villa area. She liked it so much that she was ready to pay a deposit, but Aimee said to her, "I don't think it's suitable here." You don't live in a villa, but the only ordinary residential community next to the villa area, the scale is small, the residents are few, and there are no supporting facilities such as vegetable farms, buses, schools, and even convenience stores, so how can you get in and out conveniently? The mobility and value-added space of the houses here is very limited. ”
Aimee took Penny to look at the neighborhood near her home, which she felt was more valuable in every way. Penny quickly took a fancy to a set, the price was close to the one next to the villa, it was already a two-bedroom and one-living room, a brand new rough house. "You buy it quickly, you will definitely make money!" Aimee helped Penny negotiate with the agent, and the deal was quickly closed. Penny has a house in Shanghai by herself, and the whole person is in a completely different state, and when Roland sees Aimee, he says, "Oh my God, I can't believe how she has the guts to buy a house!" She believes that with Penny, the company will get better and better, and the income will be higher and higher.
"Carl, Harry, you're men, you don't have a house, and the range of wives you can choose will be much narrower. In Shanghai, girls will become very realistic, if you don't have a house, people will have no sense of security with you, don't mess around, you must put buying a house on your life goal! ”
After all, Carl is a salesman, he has a lot of brains and drives, and he has indeed begun to plan how much money he wants to earn and save enough every year, and when he works, he is extra attentive and hardworking. When Aimee returned from Hong Kong, he explained that he began to pay attention to the distribution of Wenbo's products in various channels, especially to fully contact KA channel procurement, and communicate with them in depth to prepare for the entry of Wenbo's product line.
"Compared with Defeng, Wenbo's product line is much wider and the price segment is more popular. If you want to know the amount, you must first focus on KA. We must do KA toy category research as soon as possible, formulate a clear product plan, and act immediately as soon as Wenbo hands over the market to us. Aimee told Carl. In order to meet the business of Wenbo, she also specially recruited Liang Zihui, a management trainee who is about to graduate from college, and gave her the English name of Carl to hand over the original store and department store counter business to Spring, and Carl began to focus on KA wholeheartedly.
When Aimee sat in the office of Portell, she actually knew which KA systems she planned to enter and which outlets in which cities she planned to enter. Liang Sheng and Liang Tai are aggressive to snatch all channels, Aimee of course knows that Baodeli has never been in contact with these KAs, and they want to talk about it, so listen patiently.
"Mrs. Liang, I don't know why you feel uncomfortable looking at me, but it doesn't matter, as long as we all work hard and business is good, everyone will be comfortable." Aimee's self-cultivation makes Jay admire very much.
"Liang Sheng, Mrs. Liang, otherwise, Baodeli will pick the remaining channels and give them to me, and you will be responsible for what Baodeli likes. Three months later, you haven't entered the channel yet, so we'll follow up, do you think that's okay? Aimee proposed.
"Three months is too short, what can you do with such a little time? Ten months! Ten months later, if we can't sell it, you will follow it again, and it will be twelve months from the time we start to implement this rule. "Liang Sheng is very imposing.
"Why did Huanzhong start doing it after 10 months of doing it? There are only twelve months in a year, and you have ten months in front of you, so what else can they do? How can I compare with you? Jay was a little confused.
"It's difficult to develop in the early stage, so we're going to do publicity, right? Maybe the customers we have been working hard for 10 months have just turned to harvest the fruits! Liang Sheng thought in his heart that even this was cheap, so why would he come out and rob us!
"Okay, then we'll do it!" I didn't expect Aimee to agree very quickly.
Liang Sheng and Liang Taiyuan thought that it was absolutely impossible for anyone to agree to the conditions, but they didn't expect it to be so smooth, which made them uneasy: this Mr. Ning actually agreed, I really don't know if she is stupid, or if she doesn't want to do it at all. Jay was also puzzled: "Aimee, do you really think this is acceptable?" "Yes. After all, Wenbo was started by Liang Sheng and Mrs. Liang first, and you have worked so hard and paid a lot. Since I've arrived ten years later than you, I'll be able to wait another ten months. ”
Letting your opponent do it ten months before you and picking them to do the rest of the market is obviously an impossible game to win. Even Jay felt that Aimee was too forbearing: "If you are not satisfied with their proposal, you can not listen to it, and we will renegotiate the conditions." ”
"I think from the bottom of my heart: why can't we wait for these ten months?"
Aimee's tone, as if ten months later, this market will definitely still belong to her. So what can she do, why can she be so sure?
