Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste
Chapter 364 Am I dreaming?
The profession of driver is very popular. You can change jobs at any time and get high salary. There is no need to work hard in a small company.
"If Manager Hou can't make the decision, there's no need for me to wait here for long." Ye Chuan said.
Manager Hou thought for a moment and then asked, "Director Ye, what price can you offer?"
Ye Chuan smiled, stretched out a finger, and looked at Manager Hou quietly.
Manager Hou suddenly became nervous, thinking, just for hanging a banner, he could get a hundred yuan. This advertising fee would mean five or six yuan for each driver.
"Director Ye, deal! We take the hundred dollars!" Manager Hou said excitedly.
Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It turned out that the finger he stretched out represented a thousand characters, but Manager Hou mistakenly thought it was a hundred yuan. In this case, why not make the best of a bad situation? The remaining nine hundred yuan could be used to buy meat.
"Director Ye, is it one hundred a year or one hundred a month?" After a long while, Manager Hou asked with a smile on his face.
"It's one hundred a month!" Ye Chuan, who has ample funds on hand, naturally would not haggle over it. One hundred a year is obviously not enough.
Manager Hou's smile became even brighter. With the monthly hundred yuan in shipping fees from Huade Electronics Factory, his operating pressure was much less.
After saying goodbye to Manager Hou, Ye Chuan visited several smaller transport companies and bus companies. Several transport companies agreed to his cooperation plan, but only the bus company remained indifferent. Even though Ye Chuan quoted a price of 10,000 yuan a year, they still refused. The buses were overcrowded every day, and they didn't care about this little money. What's more, they were a large state-owned enterprise and disdained it.
Although the bus company failed to cooperate, Ye Chuan was still very happy. With these mobile billboards, I believe more and more people will know about the products of Huade Electronics Factory.
The next morning, citizens of the capital were surprised to find that the walls of all the bustling commercial areas were covered with exquisite posters.
"Huade Electronics Factory's W01 and W02 electronic watches exist because of you, and Huade shines because of you!"
"Huade Electronics Factory grandly launches a fully automatic camera. It allows you to see the world with your 'third eye'. It is worth having!"
Because these two promotional posters are extremely exquisitely designed, they attracted many citizens to stop and watch.
"What is this electronic watch?"
"Who knows! It certainly doesn't look cheap!"
"If the price is right, I might consider buying one. I'm getting married next month and I can give it to my wife!"
“You have to queue up to apply for a watch purchase certificate first!”
“It says at the bottom that no certificate of purchase is required!”
"The price must be very high. The watch is sold for 150 yuan in the department store. How much cheaper can it be in other places?"
Below the poster, people were discussing a lot, but the topic always revolved around electronic watches.
In their minds, electronic watches are luxury items that can be owned, but fully automatic cameras seem out of reach.
Soon after, sharp-eyed citizens discovered that many trucks on the street were hung with banners with white letters on a red background, which read: "Huade Electronic Watch, time exists because of you!"
The content of the banner was very concise. Ye Chuan only advertised electronic watches and did not mention cameras at all. This was because ordinary people could afford electronic watches, but few could afford fully automatic cameras.
In order to increase production and inventory in preparation for the upcoming product launch, Ye Chuan asked the factory to work overtime every day. After get off work at five o'clock, the workers would have a simple dinner in the cafeteria and then continue working until ten o'clock in the evening.
Ye Chuan also offered generous overtime pay, which was three times the normal hourly overtime pay. If he hadn't personally dissuaded them, the workers would even be willing to work overtime until midnight. In addition, the factory cafeteria also had a rich evening meal, with both meat and fish, which the workers could enjoy at will.
The technical department also did not relax, they continued to recruit new employees and provide training. After three days of internship with old employees in the workshop, new employees were able to operate the machine.
After more than two months of hard work, the inventory of W01 electronic watches exceeds 10, and the inventory of W02 electronic watches also reaches 5. In contrast, the inventory of fully automatic cameras is relatively small, because of their high manufacturing precision, and there are only 3000 in stock at present.
At the same time, Ye Chuan was not idle, and continued to promote the advertisement. Almost everyone in Beijing and surrounding cities knew about the electronic watches of Huade Electronics Factory. Although many people doubted the price, they generally believed that since it was a watch, the price would not be too cheap, and as long as it did not exceed 100 yuan, it was acceptable.
Half a month before the product launch, everyone noticed that the content of the posters in the commercial district and the banners on the streets had changed.
"Huade W01 electronic watch is on sale for only 9.99 yuan Huaxia currency, and Huade W02 electronic watch is on sale for 19.99 yuan Huaxia currency!"
"The world's leading fully automatic camera, special price of 699 yuan!"
When these advertisements were shown to the public, the entire capital city was in an uproar. Ordinary citizens, department stores, and people from all walks of life were shocked by the eye-popping prices.
"I can really buy a watch for only 9.99 yuan? Is this true?" "Am I dreaming?"
"Don't want tickets? I want to buy three at a time!"
"I want to buy two pieces, one for me and one for my lover!"
Just as people were discussing the price, the new product launch conference of Huade Electronics Factory arrived as scheduled.
In mid-to-late May 1980, the weather in Beijing had gradually warmed up. The streets were no longer monotonous in black, white and gray. Many beautiful girls began to wear colorful clothes, giving the city a new look.
There were hundreds of chairs placed in the open space of the commercial **, each of which was occupied, and the surrounding area was crowded with spectators.
A row of tables with microphones on them were placed on a makeshift platform.
In addition to merchants coming from all over the country, the commercial ** was also packed with spectators who came to see the event. Even those who could not enter the venue still rushed to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
At 10 o'clock sharp, Ye Chuan and two other people walked slowly onto the stage and sat down on the chairs in the middle. Deputy Factory Director Ma Jianshe and Technical Section Chief Yuan Guowei sat on either side of him.
Looking at the crowded crowd below the stage, Ye Chuan's heart was filled with gratitude towards Chen Xiangdong and Wei Dong. If it were not for their orders, the heads of supply and marketing cooperatives from all over the country would not have been able to gather here.
"Thank you for taking the time to visit Huade Electronics Factory's product launch event. Although you have not seen these products in person, you should have a certain understanding of them through the advertising during this period."
Ye Chuan held up two electronic watches to show the audience, but due to the distance, only the audience in the front row could see them clearly.
He smiled and said, "Please ask the staff to distribute product samples to everyone present."
After that, a group of staff members came with boxes and distributed two models of electronic watches to each audience member on the chair in turn.
At this moment, people already know the price of electronic watches. Such a price makes them almost ignore the quality of the product. They can't put down the electronic watches in their hands and sigh that they are worth the money.
In particular, the W19.99 electronic watch priced at 02 yuan far exceeded their expectations, with excellent appearance and feel.
Ye Chuan waited for a moment, then said into the microphone: "Dear leaders, two types of electronic watch samples have been delivered to you. This slightly lighter one is the W01 electronic watch, which has both time and stopwatch functions!"
As he explained, the audience in the seats began to adjust the stopwatch timing function and played with it with great interest. "It's really great, this timing function is amazing!"
"I believe that physical education teachers in schools will definitely need it. The price is not high and is not much different from that of an ordinary stopwatch."
"Mr. Zhang, how much are you going to order from our Magic City Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"
"Well, at least 10,000, but that's probably not enough. I think such electronic watches will be very popular."
Next to Director Zhang sat the deputy director of the supply and marketing department from a small or medium-sized city. If they had not received instructions from the supply and marketing department, they might not have participated. Before leaving, the director asked him to order a few hundred just to show his appreciation, as a way of giving face to Director Chen and Director Wei. But after trying it, he couldn't help but have some plans of his own.
Although he lived in a small city, he still knew some smart people who set up stalls in the downtown area to do business, including his younger brother. If he could buy watches directly at the factory price and then let his younger brother sell them, it would be a good business to earn extra income.
Seeing that everyone was getting into a good discussion, Ye Chuan then showed another watch model: "This slightly heavier W02 watch is made of alloy material. It not only feels better in the hand, but also can display the current date and day of the week in addition to the basic time and timing functions. You only need to press the button on the upper right side to view detailed date and day of the week information."
As Ye Chuan finished speaking, everyone present pressed the buttons of their electronic watches in unison. As described, the screen immediately displayed the date and Sunday of the day.
"It's really high-end, and it's only 19.99 yuan!"
“Isn’t the quality any worse than the mechanical watches in department stores?”
“The price is so low without the need for a ticket, if you bring it back and sell it at a higher price, it will definitely be sold out quickly.”
"That's right, using electronic watches to attract customers is a good strategy."
"I have a suggestion, set a consumption threshold, for example, only those who spend more than 100 yuan on other goods can enjoy the privilege of buying a digital watch."
"This is a great idea, I agree!"
The crowd below was arguing with each other, and everyone was thinking about the sales strategy after introducing this electronic watch back to their own cities, thinking about how to maximize the profit from it.
After the two watches were displayed, no one cared about the cold words from Chen Xiangdong and Wei Dong. When they first learned that they had to come to Beijing to attend the conference, not many people were willing to come. Now every participant is active, thinking in their hearts, how great it would be if only they knew about it - these electronic watches would be theirs alone!
Ye Chuan looked down at the enthusiastic crowd and smiled. The effect he hoped for was slowly coming into being: from now on, these two watches from Huade Electronics Factory will quickly become popular, and the Huade brand will also be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
When the noise gradually died down, Ye Chuan picked up the last product and prepared to introduce it.
