OTTOE1 mobile phone is on sale for the second time!
Pei Qian came all the way to OTTO Technology’s office to supervise the battle.
Mobile phones went on sale at 10 a.m., and Pei Qian arrived at 9:30, slightly ahead of schedule.
After careful consideration, he decided to make a suggestion to Chang You.
"Mr. Chang, I think starting from today, we should implement a function to pay a deposit for reservations. The deposit is 100 yuan. If you want to pre-order, pay the deposit first, and we will start production according to the quantity of the deposit."
Chang You looked embarrassed: "Mr. Pei, of course I know the method you mentioned."
"Many mobile phone manufacturers do this when there are not many mobile phone manufacturers, but we don't have it at the moment. With so much money, if a customer orders 10,000 units, we don't have enough funds..."
Pei Qian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, if you don't have enough, just ask me for it and use Tenda's money. There is no problem with the turnover of some funds, it is all our own business.”
“In short, we must ensure supply so that every Tenda fan can use our mobile phones!”
< p>Pei Qian spoke so righteously and sternly that Chang You was deeply moved.However... Pei Qian was thinking about something else.
The reason why he proposed this reservation plan was mainly due to three considerations.
The first is to continue to disgust scalpers, increase the cost of snap-up purchases, and drive out those who follow the trend to grab mobile phones and want to resell them, so that mobile phones can truly fall into the hands of people who need them.
The second step is to roughly figure out how many people are still eager to buy this phone.
If there are 5,000 people, then if Pei Qian produces 8,000 units and 3,000 units are kept in the warehouse, won’t the money be spent?
Finally, based on the current public opinion and feedback online, Pei Qian concluded that there may not be many people who actually pre-ordered 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 locally in Jingzhou. People are still in a wait-and-see mode.
The first few thousand people were basically Tengda fans living in Jingzhou. Pei Qian judged that after the needs of this group of people are met, the sales of mobile phones will definitely drop significantly!
As for whether Mr. Pei's judgment is accurate...
It depends on today's performance.
Chang You has already arranged for his people to implement this reservation and snap-up function.
At ten o'clock, Pei Qian immediately took out his mobile phone and paid attention to the rush for OTTO mobile phones.
The imagined situation of being in stock once and then sold out did not appear. The number of remaining stocks dropped quite quickly at first, but then slowed down.
At present, many scalpers have given up speculating on this phone because it is now bound to Tenda game account and identity.If the certificate is issued and resold at a higher price, the buyer will not be able to enjoy those special VIP statuses, and there will be no point in speculating on it.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some scalpers can engage in cool operations such as "ordering on behalf of others" and "snap buying on behalf of others", but it is much better than the unrestricted situation.
An hour later, there were 1,100 mobile phones left.
Pei Qian simply ate at OTTO Technology, and the remaining mobile phones were sold one after another until around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when they were all sold out!
Seeing the "Sold Out" label appear, Chang You and Pei Qian wiped the sweat from their heads in unison.
The reason why Changyou wipes his sweat is that it is finally sold out!
Mr. Pei is supervising the work today. If all 2,000 mobile phones are not sold out and no one wants them anymore, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face? How can I explain to Mr. Pei?
The reason why Pei Qian wiped his sweat was that luckily he persisted until after 2 o'clock!
If it is sold out in seconds after it is released again, something serious will happen.
Pei Qian felt a little more at ease.
Facts have proved that my judgment is correct. Although this mobile phone is currently very popular, many people do not buy it.
Even for local consumers in Jingzhou, most people will not buy it so early due to the speed of news dissemination and distrust of this new brand.
The next step is to see how many people have ordered mobile phones on Sunday.
As long as the quantity is similar to what Pei Qian expected, then he can decisively replenish the goods, spend money unexpectedly, and complete the loss before settlement!
……
……
Thursday, March 10th.
Noon.
Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and checked the reservation status of OTTOE1 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 reserved this mobile phone. Although the number is still growing, it has slowed down significantly.
The inventory for Sunday is 4,000 units.
Pei Qian thought about it. From now to Sunday, it is basically a certainty that the number of reservations will exceed four thousand, but it seems difficult to exceed five thousand.
In other words, as long as more than 5,000 units are produced, the extra mobile phones can only be stored in warehouses.
And all the money obtained from selling the mobile phones will be exchanged for more mobile phones, all piled in the warehouse...
How about all the excess funds from OTTO Technology? Is it solved?
Sounds good.
The next step is to hope that God will bless everything smoothly...
Pei Qian was just thinking about it when his phone buzzed.
I picked up the phone and saw it was from He Desheng.
Pei Qian frowned instantly.
What’s going on! Could it be that he is studying?Something happened to Ba Kuai Lai APP?
No, it’s only been a few days since I bought it. Even if something happens, it can’t be so fast, right?
I quickly picked it up.
"What's wrong with the academic master coming to the project?" Pei Qian felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
He Desheng was stunned for a moment: "Uh, Mr. Pei, it's okay for the top student to come here. It's Zhang Wang who has something to report to you, so he came to Yuanmeng Venture Capital. When will you be there? If you have time, come and see him? Or if you don’t have time, just make a phone call." Pei Qian frowned.
Arrogance?
Isn’t he the “sharing maniac” and “grassroots inventor” who built a shared phone booth?
As soon as he heard this name, Pei Qian became furious.
He still has the nerve to come see me!
I originally agreed to invest money in building a shared phone booth for you, but what did you end up with?
Yes, if you insist that there is a phone here, even a phone booth, it seems to be somewhat reasonable, but you can make so much money!
After being jointly stabbed by Zhang Wang and Ruan Guangjian, Pei Qian had completely lost confidence in Zhang Wang 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 then stopped taking care of it.
I was too worried about the movie before, and I don’t know what’s going on with the phone booth now.
Pei Qian calmed down his emotions and asked: "Is he next to you now?"
He Desheng: "Yes, Mr. Pei."
< p>"Okay, let him answer the phone, and I'll ask him about the shared phone booth." Pei Qian said."Okay."
A moment later, Zhang Wang's voice came from the other end of the phone, and his voice was quite excited: "Mr. Pei!"
Listen Hearing this voice, Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh.
How can a person who seems so reliable, such a reliable project, and everything go well, make money?
Hey, what a pity!
"Well, what's the matter?" Pei Qian said.
Zhang Wang: "Mr. Pei, the focus of my work will no longer be on the shared phone booth! This project will only maintain the most basic operating personnel and allow it to develop freely."
< p>Hearing this, Pei Qian's eyes lit up."Huh? What's wrong? Is the management bad?"
Pei Qian's tone was full of joy.
Zhang Wanghan laughed twice: "That's hard to say. It's just that phone booths have been spread all over the shopping malls in Jingzhou. It's not profitable to set up shared phone booths in other places. The business has developed in Jingzhou. I've reached a bottleneck, so I plan to take a break and find other interests."
Hearing this, Pei Qian became even more excited.
Okay, have a good rest, wise choice!
Sure enough, my previous judgmentis correct!
Shared phone booths can only make money if opened in densely populated areas, such as large shopping malls. There are only so many shopping malls in Jingzhou. Each shopping mall has one or two shared phone booths, which quickly becomes saturated.
Once it is saturated, and many people’s interest in the entertainment facilities in shared phone booths wanes, this project’s local business in Jingzhou will come to an end.
Of course, Pei Qian wanted to ask, why not continue this business to Luzhou, Lincheng, or even the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital? Isn’t there a market over there?
But he resisted decisively.
In short, Zhang Wang turned around in time, which is gratifying!
Pei Qian nodded very happily: "Well, that's good."
Zhang Wan asked: "Then, Mr. Pei, if I have other dreams to realize in the future, how about Can I continue to invest with you?"
Pei Qian: "..."
"Yes, but I will evaluate the project carefully"
Pei Qian. Qian originally wanted to refuse directly, but it seemed that he couldn't save face, so he had to be polite.
Of course, considering Zhang Wang's glorious performance, Pei Qian felt that it would be impossible to invest in his project again in this life.
——Unless there is a god-level project that seems to be absolutely losing all his money, Pei Qian will give it some thought.
"Okay, then I won't disturb your work. Goodbye, Mr. Pei!"
Zhang Wan handed the phone back to He Desheng.
"Is there anything 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?"< /p>
Pei Qian remembered that he seemed to have told He Desheng before to remind him about the money in Yuanmeng Venture Capital's account.
This money must not be forgotten. If it is left unspent until settlement, the problem will be serious.
Where should the 20 million be spent...
Huh?
Twenty million? ? ?
Pei Qian suddenly realized that this number seemed wrong!
Yuanmeng Venture Capital spent 5 million to buy back the Xueba Kuai Lai project, so there should be less than 10 million left on the books, right?
What the hell is twenty million?
"Wait a minute, where did the 20 million come from?" Pei Qian instantly realized that something seemed wrong.
He Desheng said matter-of-factly: "I earned it from the shared phone booth project."
A question mark instantly floated over Pei Qian's head.
What the hell?
Didn’t we agree that the business of the shared phone booth project in Jingzhou has reached its peak?
Isn’t Zhang Wang planning to quit the shared phone booth project temporarily and take a rest?
How could it be possible to earn 10 million in such a short period of time? ? ?
Pei QianyiConfused, he forced himself to calm down: "How can a shared phone booth earn 10 million from Jingzhou's business???"
He Desheng smiled: "Ah, Mr. Pei, you Don’t you know yet?”
“Of course we can’t make 10 million from this business in Jingzhou. Indeed, as you said, each phone booth can’t make much money per day, and the initial investment is too high. The money earned was basically invested in reproduction and expansion, and no money was saved."
"But after the market in Jingzhou was saturated, Zhang Wang had already considered the future development, so. He thought of another way to make money, which is to find an agent to join!"
"I stopped watching the shared phone booths in other cities and directly contacted major shopping malls online to show them our business model! . ”
“These shopping malls think that shared phone booths can make money, so we sell them the shared phone booths. They are responsible for the maintenance and upkeep, and we just put up a sign and earn money from the phone booth. Share."
"In this way, our costs are reduced to a minimum, and we don't have to find special personnel to maintain it, and we don't have to worry about whether the phone booth is profitable. We can just sit back and wait to sell the phone booth and get a share! From the current point of view, this model is guaranteed to make a profit!”
“So at present, this project only needs to find a few people to maintain it, receive orders, and maintain the normal operation of the company. Naturally, Zhang Wang no longer needs to worry about it. Take care of it.”
“Didn’t I make another ten million by selling phone booths? I handed it over immediately.”
“So Mr. Pei, these two thousand. How can we spend it?"
"Mr. Pei?"
"Mr. Pei?"
