The otto e1 mobile phone is on sale for the second time!
Pei Qian deliberately came all the way to the office of Otto Technology to supervise the battle.
The mobile phone went on sale at 10:00 in the morning, and Pei Qian arrived at 9:30, making a slight advance.
After careful consideration, he decided to make a suggestion to Changyou.
"Mr. Chang, I think starting from today, there should be a function of paying a deposit to make a reservation. The deposit is 100 yuan. If you pre-order, the deposit will be paid first, and we will start production according to the amount of the deposit."
Chang You looked embarrassed: "Mr. Pei, of course I know the method you said."
"Many mobile phone manufacturers will do this when the stock is low, but we don't have that much money at the moment. If a customer orders 10,000 units, we won't have enough money..."
Pei Qian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, if it's not enough, ask me for it. It's no problem to use some funds from Tenda for turnover. It's all my own business."
"In short, we must ensure the supply, so that every Tenda fan can use our mobile phone!"
Pei Qian spoke righteously and sternly, which moved Changyou to hear it.
However... Pei Qian was thinking of something else.
The reason why he proposed this reservation plan is mainly for three reasons.
The first is to continue to disgust scalpers, increase the cost of rush purchases, and brush out those who follow the trend to grab mobile phones and think about resale, so that mobile phones can really fall into the hands of those who need them.
The second is to figure out how many people are still eager to buy this phone.
If there are 5,000 people, then Pei Qian will produce 8,000 units, and 3,000 units will be stored in the warehouse. Isn't this money spent
Finally, Pei Qian combined the current public opinion and feedback on the Internet to judge that there may not be many people who actually book this phone.
After all, the price of this phone is too high, higher than the flagship phones of Shenhua and Pineapple. Although those benefits look good, most of them can only be enjoyed in Jingzhou, and most people are still on the sidelines.
The thousands of people at the beginning were basically Tengda fans living in Jingzhou. Pei Qian judged that after the needs of these people were met, the sales of mobile phones would definitely drop sharply!
As for whether President Pei's judgment is accurate...
Depends on today's performance.
Changyou has arranged for his subordinates to do this function of making an appointment and snapping up.
At ten o'clock, Pei Qian immediately took out his mobile phone and paid attention to the panic buying of otto mobile phones.
The imagined situation of a refresh of stock and sold-out again did not occur. The number of remaining stocks fell quite quickly at first, but then slowed down.
At present, many scalpers have given up selling this phone, because now the Tenda game account and ID card are bound, and if they resell at a higher price, buyers will not be able to enjoy those special VIP status at all, and there is no point in speculating it.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some scalpers can engage in sleazy operations such as "ordering on behalf of" and "purchasing on behalf of others", but it is much better than the unrestricted situation.
An hour later, there were 1,100 phones left.
Pei Qian simply ate at otto Technology, and the rest of the mobile phones were sold one after another until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when they were all sold out!
Seeing the "sold out" label appearing, Chang You and Pei Qian wiped the sweat from their heads in unison.
The reason why Changyou wiped his sweat is that it was finally sold out!
Today, Mr. Pei is supervising the work. If 2,000 mobile phones are not sold out, and no one wants them later, wouldn't it be a slap in the face on the spot, so why should he explain to Mr. Pei
And the reason why Pei Qian wiped away his sweat is that it was fortunate that he persisted until more than 2 o'clock!
If it is sold out in seconds, it will be a big deal.
Pei Qian felt a little more at ease.
Facts have proved that my judgment is correct. Although the current popularity of this mobile phone is quite high, many people do not buy it.
Even local consumers in Jingzhou, most of whom are limited by the speed of news dissemination and their distrust of this new brand, will not start so early.
The next step, then, is to see how many people ordered the phone on Sunday.
As long as the quantity is similar to what Pei Qian expected, then you can resolutely grit your teeth to replenish the goods, spend money in a rush, and complete the loss before settlement!
…
…
Thursday, March 10.
noon.
Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and looked at the reservation status of the otto e1 mobile phone.
Yesterday, the programmers at otto Technology had worked overtime to complete the reservation function of the website. Of course, Changyou also paid enough overtime pay.
So far, more than 1,800 people have pre-ordered the phone, and while the number is still growing, it has slowed significantly.
The stock on Sunday was 4,000 units.
Pei Qian considered that between now and Sunday, it is basically a certainty that the number of appointments exceeds 4,000, but it seems difficult to exceed 5,000.
That is to say, as long as more than 5,000 units are produced, the extra mobile phones can only be hoarded in the warehouse.
And the money from the sale of the mobile phone is all replaced with more mobile phones, all piled up in the warehouse...
Don't you solve all the excess funds on the otto technology side
sounds good.
The next step is to hope that God bless everything goes well...
Pei Qian was thinking about it when the phone rang.
Picking up the phone, He Desheng called.
Pei Qian frowned instantly.
what's the situation! Could it be that Xueba is coming to the app and something happened
No, it's only been a few days since I bought it, so even if there is an accident, it can't be so fast
Picked up quickly.
"What happened to the Xueba project?" Pei Qian was like a big enemy.
He Desheng was stunned for a moment: "Uh, President Pei, it's alright for Xueba to come here. It's Zhang Wang who has something to report to you, so he found Yuanmeng Ventures here. When do you have time, come and see him? Or if you really don’t have time, just make a phone call.”
Pei Qian frowned.
Zhang Li
Isn't that the "sharing madman" and "grassroots inventor" who engaged in the sharing of phone booths
As soon as he heard the name, Pei Qian was furious.
He still has the face to see me!
At the beginning, I promised to invest money for you to make a shared phone booth, but what did you make
Yes, it seems reasonable to say that there is a phone here, even if there is a phone booth, but you can make too much money!
After being backstabbed by Zhang Wang and Ruan Guangjian, Pei Qian had completely lost confidence in Zhang Zhang and the shared phone booth project, and basically left him to fend for himself.
Pei Qian asked Zhang Wang to use the money he earned to produce more shared phone booths, and he didn't care about it after that.
I was overwhelmed by the movie before, and I don't know how the phone booth is now.
Pei Qian calmed down and asked, "Is he next to you now?"
He Desheng: "Yes, President Pei."
"Okay, then let him answer the phone. I'll ask him about sharing the phone booth." Pei Qian said.
"OK."
After a while, Zhang Huan's voice came from the other end of the phone, and the voice was quite excited: "President Pei!"
Hearing this voice, Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that such a reliable person, such a reliable project, and good end, how can he make money
Oh, what a pity!
"Well, what's the matter?" Pei Qian said.
Zhang Li: "Mr. Pei, the focus of my work will not be on the shared phone booth in the future! This project will only maintain the most basic operating personnel and let it develop freely."
Hearing this, Pei Qian's eyes lit up.
"Huh? What's the matter, is it bad management?"
Pei Qian's tone was full of joy.
Zhang Wanghan smiled twice: "That's not really to say. It's just that phone booths have been spread all over Jingzhou's shopping malls, and other places can't make money even if they share phone booths. The business has developed into a bottleneck in Jingzhou, so I plan to Take a break for a while and look for other interests."
Hearing this, Pei Qian became even more excited.
OK, rest well, wise choice!
Sure enough, my previous judgment was correct!
Shared phone booths can only make money if they are opened in densely populated areas, such as large shopping malls, but there are only a few shopping malls in Jingzhou. Every shopping mall has one or two shared phone booths, which will soon be saturated.
But once it is saturated, and many people's interest in sharing the entertainment facilities in the phone booth fades, the project's local business in Jingzhou will come to an end.
Of course, Pei Qian would like to ask, why not continue to open this business to Luzhou, Lincheng, or even the Imperial Capital and the Demonic Capital? Isn't there a market there
But resolutely held back.
In short, Zhang Juan turned back in time, congratulations!
Pei Qian nodded very gratified: "Well, it's good."
Zhang Li asked: "Then, President Pei, if I have other dreams to realize in the future, can I continue to look for you to invest?"
Pei Qian: "..."
"Yes, but I will evaluate the project well."
Pei Qian originally wanted to refuse directly, but it seemed a bit embarrassing, so he had to politely say a few words.
Of course, considering Zhang Wang's brilliant performance, Pei Qian felt that it would be impossible for him to invest in his projects again in this life.
- Unless there is a god-level project that seems to be absolutely worthless, Pei Qian will think about it a little bit.
"Okay, then I won't disturb your work. Bye Mr. Pei!"
Zhang Li handed the phone back to He Desheng.
"Is there nothing else?" Pei Qian asked.
He Desheng: "There is nothing else, Mr. Pei. But... I have something to remind you, how should we spend the 20 million in our account? Have you thought about it?"
Pei Qian remembered that he had indeed warned He Desheng before, asking him to remind himself about the money in the Dream Venture Capital account every once in a while.
This money must not be forgotten, if it is kept until the settlement is not spent, then the problem will be serious.
Where should the two million be spent...
Um
Twenty million? ?
Pei Qian suddenly realized that this number didn't seem right!
Dream Realization Ventures spent 5 million to buy the Xueba Kuailai project, and there should be less than 10 million left on the book, right
What the hell is 20 million
"Wait first, where did the 20 million come from?" Pei Qian instantly realized that something seemed wrong.
He Desheng said as a matter of course: "I earned it from the shared phone booth project."
A question mark floated over Pei Qian's head instantly.
What the hell
Isn't it said that the business of the shared phone booth project in Jingzhou has reached its peak
Didn't Zhang Li plan to temporarily withdraw from the shared phone booth project to take a rest
How could it be possible to earn 10 million in such a short period of time? ?
Pei Qian was confused and forcibly stabilized his emotions: "Shared phone booths only rely on Jingzhou's business, can they make 10 million???"
He Desheng smiled: "Ah, President Pei, don't you know?"
"Of course, you can't earn 10 million from this business in Jingzhou alone. Indeed, as you said, each phone booth can't make much money every day. The shop has been measured, and I haven't saved any money."
"But after the Jingzhou market was saturated, Zhang Wang had already considered the future development, so he thought of other ways to make money, that is to find an agent to join!"
"The shared phone booths in other cities don't stare at them by themselves. They directly contact major shopping malls online and show them our business model."
"These shopping malls feel that the shared phone booths can make money, so we sell them the shared phone booths. They are responsible for maintenance and maintenance, and we just put up a sign, earn the money from the phone booths, and then take a share."
"In this way, our costs will be minimized, and we don't need to hire special personnel to maintain it, and we don't have to worry about whether the phone booth will make money or not. Just sit and wait for the phone booth to be sold and get a share! From the current point of view, this model will not be profitable. pay!"
"So now this project only needs to find a few people to maintain, receive orders, and maintain the normal operation of the company. Naturally, Zhang Zhang no longer needs to worry about it."
"Isn't this earning another 10 million by selling phone booths, and handed it over as soon as possible."
"So President Pei, how do we spend these 20 million?"
"President Pei?"
"President Pei?"
