Chapter 438: 461,000 in a single day, offline channels showing initial success! Ma Liyun: I’m not interested in money!
On June 19, after two weeks of high temperatures, Xucheng finally welcomed a rainstorm that washed away all the sycamore trees on both sides of the road.
There was a fishy smell in the air and visibility in front of the car was less than ten meters.
Old Huang held the steering wheel, consciously slowed down the car, and drove slowly towards the Science and Technology Park.
When passing by the east gate of Xuyuan, Song Yuncheng glanced at the puddle, which had already been filled up.
Chen Yansen followed her gaze and instantly understood her thoughts, so he smiled and joked, "I'll dig a hole tonight."
"Then I'll still stand by the puddle." Song Yuncheng turned around, stared at Chen Yansen with burning eyes, and said softly.
"What if it's dark and you can't see clearly, and instead of hitting a puddle, your car gets crushed under?" Chen Yansen asked with a wicked smile.
"..." Song Yuncheng rolled his eyes and asked softly, "Mr. Chen, are you willing to do that?"
Chen Yansen smiled gently, took Song Yuncheng's little hand and placed it in his palm.
As for whether he is willing to give up, the answer is in his heart.
The summer rain comes and goes quickly. Before we reach the entrance of the Science and Technology Park, the sky clears up again. I lowered the car window and a warm breeze blew.
Lao Huang parked his car in the underground parking lot.
Chen Yansen took the elevator to the top floor and then opened the door of his office. As soon as he sat down, Zhou Shouzhi came over with a document in his hand.
"The first day sales data of direct-sale stores in East China is out?"
Chen Yansen gestured to Lao Zhou to sit down and talk, then leaned back and asked slowly.
"There are 174 small direct-sale stores in third- and fourth-tier cities, with a total sales volume of 214,000 units yesterday. Together with 107 large direct-sale stores in first- and second-tier cities, the cumulative sales volume is 461,000 units, of which the Qingcheng series accounts for 71%, the Orange series 23%, and the Yaocheng series 6%."
After Zhou Shouzhi gave a brief summary, he put the information down.
"How many users does the Aurora Future system have?" Chen Yansen asked again.
"There are about 21.7 million, mainly concentrated in third- and fourth-tier cities and township markets," Zhou Shouzhi replied.
"You should discuss with Lao Cao and gradually reduce the production capacity of Qingcheng phones equipped with the Aurora system, so as to force users to accept the new system.
The specific rhythm and proportion can be tested slowly, in order to ensure sales and increase the market share of the Aurora Future system."
Chen Yansen said slowly.
"Okay, boss. The Western European market will go on sale on June 21. Local colleagues have already finalized the marketing activities and promotion methods with the operators. The main models will be new products."
Zhou Shouzhi nodded.
"In the early stage, the focus was on channel construction, and shipment volume was secondary. Compared with Apple and Sanxing, Orange Technology has just entered the Western European market. Even if it fails to adapt to the local environment and has poor sales performance, I can accept it, but we must speed up the progress. We can lose temporarily, but we cannot lose forever."
Chen Yansen looked at Zhou Shouzhi and gave him instructions.
"Boss, I won't let Orange lose." Zhou Shouzhi looked directly into Chen Yansen's eyes and answered firmly.
"It's a good thing that you have confidence. I believe in your ability."
Chen Yansen nodded slightly and encouraged with a smile.
He paused and then said, "What do you think of Yang Rui?"
"He has a method for doing things and is very experienced in operating offline sales channels. He is a good talent."
Zhou Shouzhi thought about it and commented seriously.
"Just use it as you find it convenient. After you're done with this busy period, I'll give you a week's vacation so you can have a good rest." Chen Yansen said.
Compared with involution and overtime, Zhou Shouzhi is undoubtedly the king of Orange Technology.
He is usually either on a business trip or visiting clients. Despite holding the title of CFO, he does the dual work of CEO and CFO.
With less than one day of rest each month, he can be called the king of rolls.
"Okay, thank you boss." Zhou Shouzhi did not refuse and agreed with a smile.
He understood Chen Yansen's temper.
Once something is said, it is up to him to execute it, not to bargain with him.
He saw this point more clearly than Yang Rui.
"Let's have a cup of tea together?" Chen Yansen suggested.
Zhou Shouzhi subconsciously glanced at the time. It was obvious that he was much busier than Chen Yansen, but he couldn't refuse his boss's request.
"Boss, please sit down, I'll make some tea." Old Zhou wasn't polite, he stood up and walked to Chen Yansen's tea cabinet and picked out a can of Huangya, Chen Yansen's favorite tea.
While the two were drinking tea, Ma Liyun looked at Lu Zhaoxi and Zhang Yong expressionlessly.
"Mr. Ma, the promotion level of 618 within the group is lower than that of Double Eleven. The resources invested in the early preparation and mid-term are not as much as Double Eleven. It is normal that it is less than 20 billion." Lu Zhaoxi said.
"Double Eleven is our main battlefield," Zhang Yong added.
"It's not because of the performance output of 618, but I see potential threats in Pinbei and Yidong."
Ma Liyun frowned and said.
According to his idea, low-end users go to Taobao, and mid-to-high-end users go to Yaomao Mall.
But the reality is that low- and mid-end customers go to Pinbei, while high-value users go to Yidong.
Although the transaction volume of Ali's platform is also growing, the growth rates of Pinbei and Yidong are equally astonishing.
"How many daily orders does Kuaipao have at the Taobao entrance recently?" asked Ma Liyun.
"It fluctuates between 700,000 and 800,000 orders, including takeout, group buying and grocery shopping services." Zhang Yong replied immediately.
"Where is Taodiandian?" Ma Liyun continued to ask.
"The average number of orders per day is 9,600." Tang Yongbo replied awkwardly.
He had no choice. Ma Liyun was unwilling to increase the marketing budget, so he was naturally no match for Kuaipao and Qiandupin with his bare hands.
After hearing this, Ma Liyun frowned and wondered secretly: Should he fully enter the local life field, or give up completely?
Given his original personality, of course it would be better for him to do it himself.
Although Ali and Senlian Capital are in their honeymoon period, the cooperation is very pleasant.
But even marriages end in divorce, let alone two companies?
But if he were to compete head-on with Suncity Capital and Qiandu.com, Ma would inevitably feel like backing out.
It’s so damn expensive!
Last year's online car-hailing war and this year's O2O battle had Senlian Capital and Qiandu.com as the protagonists.
The most intense competition lasted only three months, but the two companies invested a total of 70 to 80 billion yuan.
Even though Ma Liyun felt that Ali had a strong army, he still felt a pain in his teeth.
After pondering for a while, Lao Ma sighed. He neither gave up the local life business nor dared to break up with Senlian Capital.
Let’s drag it on for now!
Let’s wait until Ali is listed!
Ma Liyun thought silently.
The other side.
Lu Hongbo held the information collected by his subordinates with a gloomy face. According to incomplete statistics, Orange Technology has opened more than 170 small direct-operated stores in East China at one time. The second batch is also under renovation, distributed in North China, Northeast China, and Central China, and it is expected to have more than 300 stores.
It may not seem like much, but the current offline channel manager of Orange Technology is that bastard Yang Rui.
Didn’t Chen Yansen poach him just to build an offline sales network?
Therefore, Lu Hongbo knew very well that these more than 470 small direct-operated stores were just appetizers.
He turned his head to look at the Nicai orange on the table and thought: I not only failed to gain popularity, but also brought revenge from Orange Technology.
The factory produced a total of 200,000 units before he stopped the production.
This thing will definitely sell, after all, there are too many fools.
But the sales rate will definitely be slow!
Lu Hongbo doesn't dare to gamble, so he is more cautious in production.
at the same time.
Several top figures in the battery industry, relying on their own personal connections, gradually found out some information.
First, the Deep Blue battery is a lithium-sulfur battery;
Second, the patent is listed as a sensitive technology patent.
The battery's energy density, cycle life and safety are currently unclear, but we only know that its battery life is twice that of current lithium batteries.
In fact, they don't care about energy density.
Everyone knows that the energy density of lithium-sulfur batteries is very high. Domestic experimental data a year ago had reached 400 watt-hours per kilogram, and the research and development results of Europe and the United States are almost the same.
But the core issue lies in how to overcome the difficulties such as the shuttle effect, lithium dendrite formation and short cycle life, as well as solve problems such as mass production process and cost reduction.
Now Deep Blue Battery is ready to go commercial, having acquired two production bases in one go, totaling 1 million square meters.
The initial investment cost may exceed 5 billion yuan!
Who would throw money away?
It is obvious that Deep Blue Battery has mastered a complete set of technical solutions.
The bosses of companies such as BYD, CATL, Xinwoda, Desay and BYD Battery immediately wanted to obtain relevant patent authorizations.
Open robbery will definitely not work. Senlian Capital is not a rootless entity in the country.
It seems that the only way is to pay money!
But is Senlian Capital willing?
Some people gave up after thinking for a moment, while others used their connections to get Chen Yansen's personal contact information and called him tentatively.
…
…
Chen Yansen declined one by one and then hung up the phone.
If we talk about the price at this time, even if he praises the product to the sky, no one will offer a high price.
As long as Deep Blue Batteries are put on the market and win half of the orders in the fields of mobile phones, electric vehicles and drones, it will force companies such as BYD, CATL and Xinwanda to show real sincerity.
Otherwise, all who come are speculators who are looking to take advantage of the situation.
Chen Yansen is not in a hurry. He has plenty of time and can spend it slowly with his colleagues at home and abroad.
He didn't have any other ideas, he just wanted more people to call him "Dad" and to have a few more "sons" from different fathers and mothers.
At five o'clock, Mr. Chen gets off work on time.
Three hours later.
The first episode of the entrepreneur reality show, with Chen Yansen, Ma Liyun and Liu Chengzhi as mentors and Lei Yijun, Wang Xiaofei, Li Xiang and others as students, was broadcast on Lizhi TV.
The original broadcast time was 22:00 every Monday, but with the participation of Chen Yansen, the time was adjusted to the prime time on Wednesday.
“There are two reasons why a startup dies: running out of money or running out of confidence.”
"Young people should make money first and then start a business. If you don't try hard, you won't know how quickly money can be spent."
Every word Chen Yansen said on the show was heart-wrenching, yet very down-to-earth.
Many people use his words as their QQ signature.
Some people even posted the show video on YouTube. After all, he has tens of millions of fans overseas.
Ma Liyun said "I'm not interested in money" and "I'm very popular with girls", which successfully attracted the attention of the entire network and overshadowed Chen Yansen.
The leader of Ali, a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions, said that he was not interested in money, which really upset the mentality of netizens.
Although Chen Yansen was thick-skinned, he couldn't say such a thing.
But no matter what, with the promotion of these two people, this show has become a popular reality show.
Both Senlian Capital and Ali gained considerable exposure and traffic.
