688. A depth charge in the mobile phone industry
"Boss, the agent conference will be held at the end of this month, do you have time to attend?"
Coming to the headquarters of Renhe Industry and Trade, Wang Yongren simply handled some 'tricky business' that needed to be signed, and then heard the report of the sales manager Ran Min.
With the growth of 'Lady Street', and the help of Weibo and major life-themed post bars, the sales of the 'Lady Home' brand are increasing day by day, and the communication between online and offline has become more important.
So far, there are 225 offline agent stores of the 'Lady's Home' brand, and only a dozen more have increased this year.
In the early stage, because of the eagerness to expand sales, the "Lady's Home" brand has low requirements for agents to join, pay a certain deposit, and there is no brand agency within a radius of 20 kilometers.
With the sales of 'Lady's Home' in China exceeding 1 billion, the situation has completely changed, and the conditions for agent franchise have naturally risen.
According to the statistics of Renhe Industry and Trade's own sales department, in the year of 09, if the sales price of the agent store fluctuates between 100%-120% of the online price according to the requirements of their headquarters, the minimum profit of a single store is more than 300,000, and the high can exceed 500,000.
In this case, no one will have an opinion on raising the requirements of agent franchisees.
In the process of agency, there are some explicit prohibition problems, the "lady's home" brand will notify this, and even cancel the agency contract in serious cases, which is used to warn the rest of the agents.
Therefore, the annual agent meeting has become a necessary process.
Of course, it is also necessary to show the development strategy of the 'Lady's Home' brand to many agents, draw a picture of the future, and boost morale.
For this agent conference, the 'lady's house' arranged a two-day process, and it cost no less than 500,000 yuan just to provide three-star or above food and accommodation, and it was a drop in the bucket for the nearly 300 million sales they contributed.
"I'm not sure about the time, let Mr. Yan preside over it first."
Regarding what happened after half a month, Wang Yongren couldn't be sure.
After all, there are many confidants, and some time I can't decide for myself, just like the raid of Miss Feng the day before yesterday.
"Okay."
After a brief report for a few minutes, Ran Min retreated very consciously.
When Xu Ya, the manager of "Cup Bear", reported, Wang Yongren also mentioned the agent conference, and he could not favor one over the other.
Compared with the 'Lady's Home' brand, which has more sales advantages on the Internet, the sales proportion of 'Cup Bear' agents is larger, and it is necessary to pay more attention to maintaining the relationship with agents.
"I will definitely make the sales of 'Cup Bear' this year to a higher level."
At the end of the report, Xu Ya, who is fully responsible for the business of 'Cup Bear', swore and promised.
"Then I'll wait for good news."
For the motivation of his subordinates, Wang Yongren is naturally happy to see it.
"Boss, the contract between the 'Lady's House' brand and TB Mall is about to expire at the end of the year."
As a competent secretary, Chen Dong took the initiative to remind the other party when he gave him a massage.
"Hmm."
Wang Yongren, who closed his eyes and recuperated, responded casually.
There is no doubt that when the contract expires, the renewal issue between the two will also be nonsense, and it will not be as harmonious as before.
Even if there is the greeting of the capital behind it, TB Mall itself is the pursuit of maximum profits, and will not blindly accommodate the willingness of a single capital.
It's just that the 'Lady's Home' brand, which now has major channel diversion, will not be subject to TB Mall, and the two will not part ways rashly.
It's a pity that the current JD Mall can't support too much traffic, and the rest of the websites are a lot of digging up the wall, but they are also dry bones in the grave, and they are not worth taking refuge in.
In the future, we have to find a way to create a third pole of consumption, and the channel controlled in our own hands is a good channel.
"I'll come later."
After being busy for most of the morning, under the kind invitation of Section Chief Qi, Wang Yongren went to the other party's villa for a banquet.
Looking at Deputy Section Chief Cheng in the living room wearing a black translucent lace dress and gray silk, there was a little more invisible charm in the softness, Wang Yongren's appetite instantly increased a lot, and he began to eat without waiting for all the hot dishes to be served.
And Section Chief Qi, who was wearing a white lace sundress, also sped up the speed of serving.
In the face of the two section chiefs who were willing to help him strengthen the branches and leaves of the old Wang family, Wang Yongren, who was moved, gave him all his heart.
At the same time, Su Qiutang, who boarded the plane, had just sat down in the first-class cabin when he saw a uniformed flight attendant greet him: "Miss Su, Mr. Wang has prepared some delicious snacks for you."
"Thank you."
Su Qiutang, who was originally a little melancholy because he was separated from his relatives, listened to the flight attendant's words, and his eyes narrowed happily.
A short separation is for a better encounter!
"You said, Baoling came later than us, why did she get pregnant so early."
Leaning on the arms of the writer's lover, Qi Yini, whose breath had not yet calmed down, asked a little puzzled.
Since someone else can get pregnant, the writer's lover must be no problem, and she and her subordinate girlfriends have also gone to have a detailed physical examination, and there is no major problem, except that her chance of pregnancy may be slightly lower.
"Pregnancy is such a thing, I can't say for sure."
Feeling the loss in Section Chief Qi's heart, Wang Yongren comforted the other party's heart.
This is really not something he can control, after all, he has no restraint at all, and he does his best every time, so he can't be blamed for this.
"Why don't you tell us how Bao Ling got pregnant that time?"
In turn, pressed on the other party's heart, Qi Yini, who was as charming as silk, asked in a coquettish voice.
And Cheng Zhiwan, who attached great importance to this issue next to him, also looked at it seriously.
"That time"
Thinking of the life exchange with Counselor Chen in the school office a year ago, Wang Yongren's eyes couldn't help but become solemn, and Qi Yini next to him also slowed down his palms with a slightly red face.
"Next time, I'll arrange a weekend duty, and you can come and see me, okay?"
Rising up and striding forward, Qi Yini looked at the lover condescendingly, and said an 'excessive' request.
"Okay."
When the two section chiefs went to work, Wang Yongren took the time to look at the text messages on his mobile phone.
Hachette's royalties arrived last month, and the royalties for the first half of July had to wait until next month, so Wang Yongren didn't get much, only 140 million euros after tax.
Based on this month's sales, the royalties you will get next month will only be more.
This writing book is more profitable than his own industry.
On the morning of the 19th, Paramount, together with Huaxia's Light and Shadow and Nanyue Film and Television, announced that they would pay the same amount of film adaptation royalties as the sales of 42 million sets of "Interstellar" in the first 30 days of its release, totaling 42 million euros.
Such a sky-high price of adaptation copyright has completely ignited the entire film and television industry, and even the remaining giants of the seven Hollywood giants were shocked.
With such a high copyright fee, the production cost is nearly 200 million US dollars, and without a box office of more than 700 million US dollars, it will not be able to recover the cost at all.
Well, it seems that Paramount's previous adaptation of the movie of the same name by someone like me in the world has a box office of about 700 million US dollars or more, and the follow-up TV rights and peripheral licensing have also earned more than hundreds of millions of dollars.
Thinking about it this way, several giants are clear, not to mention that the cost of more than 200 million US dollars is not paid by the Paramount family.
In the past few years, Paramount has grown by leaps and bounds, and the box office of the films it has produced has made a lot of profits, which has made the rest of the major film and television giants jealous.
It is not that there are no other companies in Hollywood that have communicated with Hachette, but they have all failed.
Originally, I thought that the Chinese writer had too much appetite, but now that I think about it, it turns out that the price they gave was too low.
"Zizizi"
Looking at Wang Yongren, who was ringing non-stop, he simply turned on the mute, and the phone that he really couldn't shirk would be answered, and the rest would be handed over to Secretary Chen to reply to the text message.
Under normal circumstances, only those old classmates would really call rashly, and Wang Yongren also asked Secretary Chen to politely reply to the text message, and promised the important task of organizing the next party in the class QQ group.
He himself must accompany Senior Sister Su at night and Sister Han's mother and daughter during the day, and his life is boundless.
The signing meeting is over, and during the summer vacation, Wang Yongren himself really has nothing to do.
Wednesday, July 28, everything is suitable and there are no taboos.
At the entrance of a venue in the Bird's Nest in Beijing, there was a charming brilliance in the night, and media reporters with invitations entered one after another, and many of them were related bigwigs in the Internet and mobile phone industries.
"Brother Aren, is this Redmi phone good-looking?"
Su Qiutang, who got off work early during the internship period, had a meal with his little brother, and was taken to the Bird's Nest by the other party, looking at the invitation in his hand and asking curiously.
"This."
took a mobile phone from Secretary Chen next to him, and Wang Yongren immediately handed it to his little girlfriend.
"Hey, it's pretty good."
Pressed the start button on the bottom, Su Qiutang, who was self-taught, clicked on the screen, tried the feel, and felt good.
With the new Apple 4th generation this year, Su Qiutang can feel the difference between the two, but he also says it in his heart, no
"There is still a certain gap compared with Apple, but compared with those miscellaneous smartphones on the market now, there are many merits."
After experiencing the outbreak of smart phones in his previous life, Wang Yongren didn't have much preference for the first generation of smart phones, and he used an Apple and a five-star alternately.
The current red rice, under Wang Yongren's 'suggestion', is a little more perfect than the original version, and the time is still a year ahead of schedule, and I don't know if it can go more spacious in the future.
"Brother Ah Ren, that's because your height is too high."
Holding the little brother's hand, Su Qiutang praised the other party with a smile.
began to enter the internship, and the more she came into contact with the society, the more she could feel how great and amazing her little brother's achievements were hidden in the eyes of ordinary people.
And this is the man she Su Qiutang fancies.
"Heh, I'm just a layman, just evaluate casually."
While talking, Wang Yongren passed through the security channel, took his little girlfriend to the front of the big man Lei who was entertaining friends, said hello, and found a corner seat to sit down.
Today's Redmi 1 generation release meeting, there will be recorded versions on major websites to build momentum for the new brand, and it is easy to be photogenic when sitting in the middle.
For Wang Yongren, unnecessary occasions are still low-key.
"Xiao Su, long time no see."
Not long after Wang Yongren sat down, a female voice sounded next to him, and he couldn't help but look up.
"Senior Sister Yinyin."
Turning his head to see the high school sister, Su Qiutang waved his hand enthusiastically.
She doesn't match the Internet and mobile phone circles, and no one knows the guests at the scene, so she feels a little bored.
It can't be, it's not coquettish with the little brother in public, and the other party doesn't agree.
"Are you here to accompany Writer Wang to the press conference?"
Zhao Yinyin, who has already become the champion of Miss World, has the demeanor of a celebrity in her gestures, and her eyes fall on the handsome writer who is in a different position, and she is also gentle and graceful.
"yes, I didn't expect to meet my senior sister here. I heard that the senior sister."
As a aspiring diplomat, Su Qiutang is also a small community cow, and he quickly chatted with the other party.
Not long after, the press conference officially opened with a piece of soothing music, and the lights converged on the stage in front of him, shining on a certain ordinary middle-aged man: "Someone once asked me, why do you make mobile phones?" I couldn't answer for a while."
Lei Qianjun, who has often appeared in major talk shows for most of the past six months, has a relaxed and chic posture in the face of more than 500 guests.
First talked about his original intention of 'suffocating for his dreams', then talked about the problems encountered in the research and development process, and finally described the functions of the Redmi 1 in his hand.
Because the location arranged on the scene is relatively spacious, a mobile phone connected to a fixed pole is placed next to everyone, and you can experience the functions of the mobile phone according to the method described by Boss Lei himself on the stage.
For this dual-core CPU, 1GHz processor, 480*800 resolution4-inch screen, 5 million pixels, and a commendable shell Redmi 1st generation mobile phone, the configuration can be regarded as the level of a five-star mainstream machine, and the guests at the scene gave high praise.
What makes a group of peers and representatives of several major operators more concerned is the final launch price of this mobile phone.
"If it were me, within 3,000, I would buy it."
"In terms of this function, it's only a little worse than Apple, so 3500 always needs it."
"More than 3,000 yuan, I can't support domestic machines."
"I also want to buy a domestic machine, but if the price is similar to Apple and five-star, who will buy it."
"It's not easy for us to make a domestic machine, if the price can be lower, I will change it for myself and my girlfriend."
"I'm still studying, if I can have about 2,500, I'll ask my dad to send me money and get a new phone."
As one of the hundreds of ordinary viewers who were selected, they are very rational in terms of price, as long as they are cheap, not expensive.
According to this configuration standard, the five-star side will be at least four or five thousand, and if the price of red rice is about the same as this, then I'm sorry.
The price of domestic machines is too high, and the cost performance is a big difference with imported mobile phones.
The premise of supporting domestic production is also to compete for domestic machines, not to lie down and make money and cut leeks.
Our final pricing is that it will be available on the JD Store at 0:00 on August 1st, 1999."
With Lei Qianjun's last resounding words, a number flashed on the big screen behind him, shining and eye-catching.
"Wow"
"Oh hoo."
Almost most of the guests in the audience stood up, exclaimed, and then applauded.
This price directly cuts the same level of smart phones on the market by more than half.
Although 1999 is one yuan worse than 2000 yuan, the feelings given to people are completely different.
The latter 2000 level, which is considered the price of the mid-range, the former is directly into the field of thousand-yuan machines, and the front is fighting with those OEM machines.
Or in more plain terms, that is, 2000 or less smart phones, basically copycat machines or contract machines, from time to time to use it will be stuck, and people can't wait to be a brick at a critical moment.
At this time, what will happen if a serious brand manufacturer suddenly appears in the field of thousand-yuan machines?
The results are self-evident, the OEM dealers present at the OEM applaud, while trying to use the eye knife to cut Lei someone on the stage with a thousand knives.
In contrast, the expressions of the representatives of the three major operators were the same as those of ordinary audiences, with eager eyes in them, and they surrounded each other as soon as they got off the stage.
As we all know, the contract machines of Apple and Five Star have not sold well in the past two years, mainly because of the high price, and the guaranteed consumption is not low, and ordinary consumers do not buy it.
Now that such a spoiler has appeared, it must be well wooed.
"Let's go."
Seeing that there were a lot of people around Big Brother Lei, Wang Yongren didn't bother, and took his little girlfriend to leave.
"Brother Ah Ren, aren't we going to have supper, call Senior Sister Yinyin."
Holding the little brother's arm, Su Qiutang smiled and made a good suggestion.
"If Miss Zhao doesn't mind, let's have a supper together."
Glancing at the long-legged girl who was a little flat, Wang Yongren smiled and extended an invitation.
If this sentence is placed in ten years, it will definitely be misunderstood by netizens as a strange meaning, but now, it is normal.
"Then thank you Writer Wang, you can call me Yinyin."
Faced with the invitation of this handsome writer, Zhao Yinyin naturally would not refuse.
Not to mention that her recent acting career is ready to develop horizontally, but she also likes each other's sci-fi, so she can't resist such a society that is in close contact with idols.
With a third person, the previous Maybach was not very suitable, and Wang Yongren asked people to arrange a spare Mercedes-Benz RV, specially rented from a luxury car rental company, and specially removed the locator.
Otherwise, it is definitely not child's play for his whereabouts to be controlled.
With his current status, as long as the deposit is sufficient, the leasing company will not have any opinion.
Look at that slippery bodyguard, who has an opinion?
"What is Yin Yin mainly doing now?"
Sitting in the RV, Wang Yongren looked at Miss World in a short dress opposite, and his eyes couldn't help but cross the other party's long legs.
Although the little girlfriend's legs are also very long, her senior sister Zhao Yinyin is three or four centimeters taller than her, and the leg length feels even more exaggerated.
As we all know, the legs of beautiful women, that is, the longer it is 1 centimeter, the more powerful it is.
"I have signed some brand endorsements now, and I usually shoot commercials, just to participate in some endorsement activities."
Speaking of her career, Zhao Yinyin was a little embarrassed.
Perhaps, in front of others, she can be calm, after all, the girls related to the modeling industry in China can do her step, which can be regarded as the ceiling level.
However, compared with this great writer who moves hundreds of millions of royalties, Zhao Yinyin has no confidence at all.
"Sister Yin Yin is really amazing, some female stars don't have a chance to get endorsements."
Su Qiutang, who was sitting next to the little brother, noticed the other party's eyes and couldn't help but interject.
Hmph, her long legs are definitely longer than the old sister's, but compared to this high school sister, it is indeed a little worse.
However, in another place, her development prospects are not comparable to those of her senior sister.
"Sugar Candy laughed, if I can choose again, I will definitely change to a more stable career."
Speaking of her seemingly free but unstable career, Zhao Yinyin is even more envious of this little junior sister.
After all, the other party will not only be able to become a diplomat in the future, but also a writer in private, and he will definitely be regarded as a winner in life among girls.
It's just that this elementary school girl seems to have different thoughts about her brother-in-law.
"Sister Yin Yin, is she going to change careers?"
After listening to the other party's answer, Su Qiutang, who originally thought that the other party was having a good life, was a little surprised.
At the previous press conference, it wasn't a celebrity who could receive an invitation, and the other party was not bad.
