Hu Yuan's plan was simple: to get the leaders of these large corporations and their families using flip phones.
When they find a product very useful, they will naturally recommend it to their employees.
It's even possible that the company will provide its employees with mobile phones in its own name.
Consumers' trust in any product needs to be cultivated gradually.
Hard work pays off, and with Hu Yuan's continuous efforts, he soon gained his first major client.
"Mr. Hu, right? I won't waste any more words with you. Our company needs to order three hundred flip phones. Can you give me a discount?"
The girl who came to Hu Yuan's office was in her early twenties, and her words and actions revealed a hint of arrogance.
"Two thousand per unit, that's the lowest price."
Hu Yuan had already thought about how to answer her.
"Could it be a little less?"
The girl suddenly stood up, walked up to Hu Yuan, and her breath hit his face.
"This is really the lowest price; the market price is three thousand."
Hu Yuan gave a very firm answer.
"Okay, then two thousand it is. Please send someone to deliver it to our company, and then contact me to hand it over."
The girl put down all the money she had brought, turned around and left without any hesitation.
Hu Yuan counted carefully; it was exactly 600,000, no more, no less.
It seems the girl had already guessed that Hu Yuan would offer her this price, so she came prepared.
This first big deal was the best start for Hu Yuan, with a net profit of 300,000 yuan, almost covering the rent and renovation costs for the year.
If a few more deals like this were made, they could even recoup the cost of signing contracts and paying employee salaries.
After counting the number of phones, Hu Yuan personally delivered them to the girl's company and successfully handed them over to her.
Later, Hu Yuan learned that this was the largest company under the Chengshi Group, and the girl's name was Cheng Yu, who had been in charge of the company for two years.
At the same time, she is also the heiress of the Chengshi Group.
Hu Yuan had conducted a thorough investigation. The most powerful companies in the provincial capital were the Longshi Group, whose main business was entertainment venues such as dance halls, and the Ouyang family's Dongyang Group, whose main business was the wholesale of various commodities, and which also owned several orchards in the suburbs of the provincial capital.
The provincial capital has only developed to the second ring road, while the area where those orchards are located will become the third ring road in the future.
In other words, with the development of the times and the economy, Dongyang Group has a bright future.
There are also Mingfang Group and Longteng Group.
Although this programming group ranks among the top ten in the provincial capital, it is still at the very bottom.
Moreover, Hu Yuan also heard that Cheng Yong, the president of Chengshi Group, was in poor health and might not live for more than a few years. He had no son, only a daughter named Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu is just a girl in her early twenties, but Cheng Yong hopes that she can become the next president of Chengshi Group, which naturally leads to internal conflicts.
If the internal conflicts within the Programming Group continue, they may not even be able to maintain their top ten position.
Despite this, Cheng Yu was the first to come and buy mobile phones for her employees, which surprised Hu Yuan.
Perhaps she was trying to gain the support of the company's employees through this method.
However, these are not issues that Hu Yuan should be thinking about.
For Hu Yuan now, besides trying to secure as many large orders as possible, the most important thing is to find suitable partners in various cities.
To increase the influence of flip phones and achieve greater sales, Hu Yuan needed to find suitable people in each city, sign agency agreements, and develop stores.
Hu Yuan immediately released the news.
It has to be said that Hu Yuan was quite lucky. Right after he sent out the message, Sophie Company also made a larger investment in the promotion of flip phones.
They hired the most popular celebrities as spokespeople to shoot advertisements and aired them during prime time on major TV stations.
In this way, the influence of flip phones immediately rose to a new level.
Under these circumstances, investors from various cities came to the provincial capital and actively explained their advantages to Hu Yuan, hoping to win the qualification of agent.
It must be said that there are still quite a few smart investors.
In just five days, at least five representatives came from each city, with the largest city, Yunlin, sending more than ten people to compete for the spot.
Moreover, Longteng Group, one of the four major families in the provincial capital, also sent representatives, wanting to obtain the operating rights of the second branch in the provincial capital from Hu Yuan.
This situation made Hu Yuan very happy. With competition, these people will bring out their best skills and work harder in future operations.
But it was precisely because of this situation that Hu Yuan encountered some trouble.
The company is currently short-staffed, and now all the work is piled up on my shoulders.
Managing stores, managing the company's daily operations, assessing and evaluating potential candidates, and even interviewing new employees when they apply—all these tasks require me to take time out of my schedule.
Hu Yuan isn't someone who can't handle pressure, but each of these things requires a lot of time and energy, and he simply doesn't have that much free time.
"Boss, I have a friend here who hasn't found a job yet. How about I have him come over and help you out?"
Just as Hu Yuan was busy and dizzy, Wang Biao suddenly recommended someone to him.
"Okay, let him come over."
Hu Yuan didn't have high expectations for this person, perhaps because it was recommended by Wang Biao.
Wang Biao was just an uneducated hoodlum, and Hu Yuan didn't believe he could possibly know any capable managers.
This isn't Hu Yuan looking down on Wang Biao, nor is it looking down on those at the bottom of society; it's just that certain types of people belong to certain circles, and this is an established perception that cannot be ignored.
However, Wang Biao's friend really caught Hu Yuan's eye.
"Hello Mr. Hu, I am Chen Chao. I just returned from studying in Southeast Asia, majoring in social management."
This was the first thing Chen Chao said to Hu Yuan after they met; it was a very simple self-introduction.
But it was enough to surprise Hu Yuan. Whether or not he studied abroad was not important; what mattered was his major.
In this day and age, this major has basically never appeared in universities in China, and it is also a niche major abroad.
Moreover, since this guy can be friends with Wang Biao, his background must not be that good, and he must have earned his studies abroad through his own abilities.
Under such circumstances, it is truly unexpected that someone would choose this major.
Most importantly, he not only chose this major, but also chose to return to China immediately after graduation.
