Chapter 515: Thorn Continent, Sales Comparison
"Ten families jointly invest in Thorn Continent? What's going on? Colonize? Hearing this, Luo Yin suddenly showed an interested look.
He knew that the Thorn Continent was just east of the Divine Creation Continent, an independent continent, and it was said that it was rich in materials.
But there is not much detailed news about Thorn Continent, and the little news circulating among the people is what it is
"Thorn Island Danger"
"Thorn Island is uninhabitable" or something like that. Luo Yin was the young master of the Capet family before, but he knew some insiders.
That is, although there are indigenous tribes on the other side of the Thorn Continent, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. In the early years, some companies in the Case Empire organized several colonial wars, but the results were ...... Not a single win.
And then there was no more. Until now, such a thing as colonial companies has been withdrawn from the stage of history......
"It's not colonization, after all, there are no colonization companies anymore, but ...... It's really similar to the colonial company. It's that they want to go to Thorn Continent to do business, if the other party agrees, then do normal business, if the other party doesn't agree...... Then call until the other party agrees......"
ββ¦β¦ Sure enough, it had to be them. Luo Yin shook his head, and then said, "But didn't you always fail to win before?" Are they sure they can win now? "Thorn Continent is said to be indigenous, but there are also muskets on the other side, and the gap in equipment is not large, otherwise it is impossible for the company of the Case Empire to be unable to defeat it all the time.
"Then I don't know, I'm not involved in this, I don't know the specifics. But it seems that there is a problem inside the Thorn Continent...... Anyway, the ten major families are ready to join forces this time, depending on what they mean, this time they will win ......"
"Then that makes sense......" Luo Yin suddenly said. If it is true that there is an internal problem in the Thorn State, it is unreasonable for those who have long coveted the Thorn State not to seize this opportunity.
However, how could Luo Yin have a very familiar feeling...... He had encountered something similar when he had been in the United Kingdom of Stokato, which had formed an Dawn Colonial Company to attack Yusmon.
They are also full of confidence, and the results are ...... Luo Yin suddenly felt that the union of these ten families might not be successful...... Luo Yin told Diana about the Capet family coming to him and saying that they would invite him to join the investment company.
Diana was also confused when she heard this.
"From the Capet family's point of view, they think this operation is a sure win, so by letting you join in, you are really taking advantage of it. But, why ......".
In terms of the identity of "Mr. Jack", the only connection between Luo Yin and the Capet family is the Flint Group, but the Flint Group is in charge of Sharon, if there is really something, it should be Sharon to contact Luo Yin, instead of finding someone Luo Yin does not know.
"Forget it, as long as they don't want to cheat me for money." Luo Yin shook his head. After roughly understanding what was going on with the Capet family's investment company, Luo Yin didn't talk about it anymore.
Instead, he watched a show with Diana and Maureen with peace of mind. The other side. The Capetian family. The housekeeper of the head of the family was directly dumbfounded after listening to his nephew Wood's report.
"You, how did I explain to you then! Let you invite Mr. Jack to join our investment company! What is an invitation, do you know? β
"I ......" Wood was a little aggrieved. Mr. Jack's attitude at that time was too arrogant, wasn't he also doing this for the sake of the family's face!
And most importantly, no one told him to invite Mr. Jack respectfully!
He also thought it was a reward from the Capetian family......
"Forget it! You don't have to be responsible for this anymore. Mr. Jack was not able to join us, and it can only be said that he was unlucky......" The butler shook his head.
The main reason is that in the past two days, the top ten families will discuss the proportion of investment, and Luo Yin will miss this time, so he will have no chance.
The butler had a bit of a headache and told Wood to get out, and he had to think about how to talk to the master of the house later. The reason why the head of the family wants Diana to marry off quickly is actually related to this investment company.
This is a big project that has been joined together by ten families, and there is no room for error. The head of the family was afraid that Diana would come and cause troubleβsince her brother was exiled, she had often caused trouble on certain matters.
So the head of the family wants Diana to leave the Capet family quickly, don't delay his big event! β¦β¦ July 1.
It has been a month since the listing of Tengyun cigarettes, and everyone is looking forward to the release of specific data by Hengyun Group.
But the statistics take time, so you can only wait. And at this moment, a piece of news suddenly appeared, which surprised many people.
"The flintstone group announced that it also produces cigarettes? They got the patent authorization of Hengyun Group? β
"Awesome! I heard that many companies want to get the patent authorization of cigarettes, but Hengyun Group doesn't sell it for any money! β
"If I were the boss of Hengyun Group, I would definitely not sell it now. Now it's not a question of money, it's a matter of seizing the market! It's not too late to sell patents when the market is snatched down......"
"Anyway, no matter what, Hengyun Group is making money, making hemp!"
"So I'm curious, how did Flint Group get the patent authorization of Hengyun Group...... It can only be said that the relationship between the two families is not ordinary! "It's not just some knowledgeable industry insiders, but also the executives of those tobacco companies who are discussing it fiercely.
"Flint Group actually got the cigarette patent authorization within Hengyun Group? Why! Why can they get it and we can't? Our money is not low! β
"Is it because Mr. Jack and Ms. Sharon have a good relationship? But that shouldn't be! Even if they have a good personal relationship, how can this kind of business matter be mixed with personal emotions! It's not fair! β
"It's over! Originally, there was only one Hengyun Group, but in fact, it was okay, after all, his scale was so large, even if he tried his best, he could not account for all of the cigarette market. It was only a matter of time before we got the patent license, but it would be different if there was another flintstone group, which was the Capet family's business...... What if they want a monopoly? The Capet family has this strength! Sharon didn't pay much attention to the various voices from the outside world, but she felt very happy.
She just likes this kind of peer look at her unhappy and can't get rid of her. In her happy mood, flintstone cigarettes were officially launched.
There is no limited edition of flint cigarettes, and it is a production version from the beginning. Similar to the last time Tengyun cigarettes went on the market, their flintstone tobacco store was crowded with outsiders.
They all came to line up to buy flint cigarettes. Regarding the price of flint cigarettes, the outside world already knows, and it is also 30 to open a box, the same as Tengyun cigarettes.
With the example of Tengyun cigarettes in the past, everyone's first feeling is not that it is expensive, but that the price is quite normal.
After all, they don't know what the specific cost price of these cigarettes is, they just heard from people from Hengyun Group before, and the cost is not cheap.
After a queue of people at the door of the store, someone finally bought it first, and as soon as he left the store, he couldn't wait to open it and taste it.
"Whew-" After swallowing the clouds for a moment, he frowned slightly.
"This taste is much better than ordinary black tobacco, but it seems to be a little worse than Tengyun cigarettes...... If you look at it this way, the cigarette is still good, but the price is a bit expensive...... "There are many people who have the same idea as him, and they all think that the price of flint cigarettes is a bit expensive in such a comparison.
Of course, the taste of this thing varies from person to person, and they may have become accustomed to the taste of Tengyun cigarettes after smoking Tengyun cigarettes for a month.
Now I have suddenly changed my taste, and it is normal to be a little unaccustomed. Sharon has people around the store just to see your feedback.
Naturally, this kind of words also reached her ears, but the people who said these words were a small number, and most of them thought that cigarettes were good.
So Sharon didn't pay much attention to it, she regarded the people who said these words as those who were used to smoking Tengyun cigarettes.
As for the statement that flintstone cigarettes are not as good as Tengyun cigarettes, she doesn't want to believe it. Everyone used the same technology, the same raw materials, and even invited Mr. Jack to personally guide him.
Therefore, the things made are all very different, only the difference in taste, and there is no difference between high and low. So she firmly believes that the quality of flint cigarettes and Tengyun cigarettes is the same.
The next day, the flintstone group counted the cigarette sales on the first day, and they also announced it like Hengyun Group.
Sales of flintstone cigarettes on the first day - 50 million! This figure is less than half of Tengyun cigarettes, which sold 100 million on the first day of sales last month.
But the situation was different then and now. At that time, Tengyun cigarettes were mass-produced cigarettes before they were launched, and some limited edition cigarettes were sold in advance.
These limited-edition cigarettes have caused a lot of limelight and brought a lot of traffic to Tengyun cigarettes. And there is no time for flintstone cigarettes to do any limited edition before they are listed, there is no atmosphere, and there are Tengyun cigarettes in front, the second is definitely not as attractive as the first...... Therefore, it is understandable that the sales of flintstone cigarettes are lower.
And anyway, that's 50 million sales! Not to mention the others, even Sharon was very satisfied.
After all, among these 50 million, there is at least 30 million profits! 60% profit margin on sales! It's a great start for any company.
And according to the situation of Tengyun cigarettes, the follow-up sales will be higher and higher...... It's just that Sharon frowned a little when she saw the next day's sales.
"Forty million? Isn't it supposed to get higher and higher? Why is there still 10 million less? Could it be because everyone had bought Tengyun cigarettes before, so they had no money in their hands for the time being...... "Although this money is still a lot, Sharon has a bad premonition.
Soon, the third day also passed.
"Sales fell by another five million...... Only 35 million? Sharon suddenly couldn't sit still, and even panicked, she went to Luo Yin overnight to ask for advice.
Not to mention the increase in sales, as long as it does not rise or fall, Sharon will not be so panicked, but according to this decline, won't it fall in a few days?
She had invested a lot of the Capetian family's resources in flint cigarettes, if she hadn't gotten up...... She didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Luo Yin hasn't slept yet, Sharon is counting sales, and he's also counting, but he is counting last month.
After all, Hengyun Group is a listed company, and when announcing the financial report, these details are clear.
So I also worked an extra shift in the past two days. After getting Sharon's call, Luo Yin said that he was waiting for her in the Hengyun Group building.
It didn't take long for Sharon to arrive.
"Mr. Jack, this sales are wrong......" Sharon showed Luo Yin the sales of the past three days, and the third day was just counted, and it will be announced tomorrow.
As for the first two days, Luo Yin already knew. To be honest, seeing this sales, Luo Yin himself couldn't understand why.
Unless there is a problem with the quality of flint cigarettes, or his Xingyun cigarettes are on the market. Otherwise, such a large market cannot be saturated just because of a cloud...... But suddenly, Luo Yin seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked, "What is the profit margin of your cigarettes?" β
"Uh......" Sharon hesitated slightly, after all, this is a trade secret, flintstone cigarettes are a sub-brand of flint group, it was established, it is not listed, and he does not need to release specific data.
But thinking that the two were a partnership after all, she still wanted Luo Yin to give her an answer, so she no longer hid it.
"It's about 60 or 70 percent of sales......
ββ¦β¦ Well, I know the reason - you guys sell it too expensive, and smokers don't think it's worth it. β
"Huh? I'm pricing it according to your Tengyun cigarettes......"
"But our Tengyun cigarettes can't earn sixty or seventy percent of sales!"
"......" Sharon was dumbfounded. This means that at the same price, Tengyun cigarette materials are better!
Some old smokers can feel the difference by comparison. If they advertise it in their own circles, for example, if flint cigarettes are not as good as Tengyun cigarettes, then it is normal for sales to decline...... But Sharon doesn't understand that it's not normal for tobacco to make so much profit in a lucrative industry?
Why should Mr. Jack reduce his profits! It's a pity that she doesn't know that Tengyun Cigarettes' definition of Luo Yin is to pull up the product, not to make a lot of money.
The things that really make a lot of money haven't started to hit the market yet! Next. Flint Group announced sales on the third day, and sales fell for two consecutive days, making industry insiders wonder why, is the cigarette market only so big?
Impossible, right...... However, they didn't have time to doubt life, because Hengyun Group announced last month's sales.
And this sales is in stark contrast to the flint group - last month, Tengyun cigarettes' sales for a whole month were 7 billion!
On average, more than 200 million are sold every day! After seeing this figure, whether it is people in the industry or outside, the first thing is not shock, but doubt.
This number, are you sure you wrote it correctly?
